Americans' Use of Time, 1965-1966 (ICPSR 7254)
Principal Investigator(s): Converse, Philip E.; Robinson, John P.
These data were gathered as part of a multinational time budget project (see also TIME USE IN ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL ACCOUNTS, 1975-1976 [ICPSR 7580] and AMERICANS' USE OF TIME, 1965-1966, AND TIME USE IN ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL ACCOUNTS, 1975-1976: MERGED DATA [ICPSR 7796]). This study includes variables of two general types. One group concerns sociodemographic characteristics of respondents and households, the other set deals with time use. The time use data were obtained by having respondents keep a complete diary of their activities for a single 24-hour period between November 15 and December 15, 1965, or between March 7 and April 29, 1966. Additional data were gathered from an interview taken on the day after the diary was completed. Data on both primary and secondary time use were recorded, along with where and with whom the activities took place.

INTERPOL lauds Serbian arrest of fugitive Balkans war crimes suspect Ratko Mladic
LYON, France – The arrest earlier today by Serbian police of Ratko Mladic, wanted by a United Nations war crimes tribunal on charges of genocide and who was the subject of an INTERPOL Red Notice for internationally wanted persons, has been praised by the world police body as advancing the cause of international justice.
Mladic, the fugitive former Bosnian Serb Commander who had been on the run for 16 years, faces a number of charges brought by the UN's International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) for crimes against humanity, including murder, inhumane acts, extermination and other crimes committed during the 1992-1995 Balkans war.
"The Serbian authorities are to be strongly commended for arresting Ratko Mladic, one of the most wanted fugitives from international justice," said INTERPOL Secretary General Ronald K. Noble of Europe's most wanted war crimes suspect.
"The arrest by Serbian police of Ratko Mladic, an alleged architect of human carnage and mass murder, is a triumph for international justice. The arrest of Mladic also reflects the determination of the Serbian police never to give up their hunt for all those wanted in connection with war crimes perpetrated in the Balkans," added Mr Noble.
In January of this year, Secretary General Noble met with Serbia's President Boris Tadic and First Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Interior Ivica Dacic to identify ways in which INTERPOL and Serbia could cooperate more closely to bring war criminals to justice. During that meeting, President Tadic made clear that if Mladic were on Serbian soil, then Serbia's police would locate, arrest and bring him to justice.
"President Tadic's belief in the Serbian people and police as expressed that day left me convinced that INTERPOL and the entire international community could have confidence in his words. After today's arrest, no one should doubt Serbia's commitment to the rule of law and justice," said Mr. Noble.
INTERPOL has made hunting war criminals a priority and in that regard has been working closely with the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia and its Chief Prosecutor, Serge Brammertz.
"We will continue to work with the ICTY's Chief Prosecutor Brammertz and the Serbian INTERPOL National Central Bureau to ensure that the remaining fugitive, Goran Hadzic, still wanted by the ICTY and also subject of an INTERPOL Red Notice, is captured wherever in the world he might be, and delivered to the tribunal in The Hague," added Mr Noble.
INTERPOL's Fugitive Investigative Support (FIS) unit at its General Secretariat headquarters in Lyon has been liaising closely with its network of specialist investigators, National Central Bureaus – particularly in Serbia, Croatia and Bosnia-Herzegovina – and the ICTY in the exchange and coordination of information as well as leads concerning the possible location of Mladic and other fugitives wanted for war crimes.
The charges against Mladic, aged 69, include genocide for the murder of nearly 8,000 Bosnian Muslim men and boys in Srebenica in 1995. The indictment also charges Mladic with responsibility for the shelling of Sarajevo which resulted in thousands of men, women and children being killed and wounded.
Serbian authorities have announced they have opened proceedings to transfer Ratko Mladic to the ICTY in The Hague.

Progress Energy Florida announced Tuesday morning that it will permanently retire its Crystal River nuclear plant.
The fate of the Crystal River nuclear plant, which has been out of commission since 2009, became clear Tuesday when owner Duke Energy announced it will close the facility and end any possibility it will ever crank out another kilowatt of electricity.
The North Carolina-based utility giant also announced that the company and its insurance carrier, Nuclear Electric Insurance Limited (NEIL), have reached a resolution through mediation requiring NEIL to pay Duke $530 million in settlement costs in addition to the $305 million already paid out.
Duke said in a press release that its customers will receive the combined $835 million in proceeds.
Duke subsidiary Progress Energy, which operates the plant, previously agreed in a settlement with Florida's Office of Public Counsel that there would be no cost increases associated with Crystal River before 2017.
Progress supplies electricity to more than 1.6 million Florida customers, including about 60,000 in Marion County.
The plant, which employs 600 people in Citrus County, shut down more than three years ago when its concrete containment building cracked during an upgrade project that included installation of two new steam generators.
The containment building, which is designed to contain any radiation in case of a leak, is filled with a complex web of tension bars that give the facility added strength.
A March 2011 repair attempt resulted in new cracks in other parts of the containment structure, and more cracks were found during July of that same year. That left analysts to predict new repair costs falling between about $1 billion and $3.4 billion.
Progress already has spent $338 million in repairs thus far.
"We believe the decision to retire the nuclear plant is in the best overall interests of our customers, investors, the state of Florida and our company," Duke Energy Chairman and Chief Executive Jim Rogers said in a statement.
The decision marked the end of at least one chapter of company infighting after Duke merged with Raleigh-based Progress almost a year ago.
Rogers' expected successor, Progress Energy CEO Bill Johnson, was fired by the Duke board, in part because of its dissatisfaction over his handling of the Crystal River repairs. The plant at one time supplied 9 percent of Progress' energy production portfolio.
The 960-megawatt plant became operational in 1977 and was slated to have its license renewed another 20 years after its original operational license expires in 2016.
"I'm saddened by the decision, but it's not a big surprise based on the numbers I was seeing," said Charles Rehwinkel, deputy public counsel, who represents consumers before the Florida Public Service Commission.
"The risk of a successful repair was increasing — not to say it couldn't be done … it was just a matter of enough money and time," he said.
But time became an ever increasing problem.
If there had been more complications in trying to repair the containment building, Rehwinkel estimated the plant would have remained off line an additional five or six years.
The goal was to convince Progress to repair the nuclear plant, Rehwinkel said, because the long-term costs to customers will now be larger when the plant is shut down. That belief was reflected by the Office of Public Counsel's 2012 agreement with Progress requiring the utility to pay customers $100 million if repair work didn't commence by December 2012.
Rehwinkel concedes some insurance money will be earmarked to reduce customers' bills. But he still estimates that final costs to customers, because of the plant's closing, will be well more than $1 billion over 20 years.
He predicts rates will increase an average of $10 per month per customer when all the dust settles.
He attributes some of that hike to net plant appreciation costs, the costs for the unused steam generators, recently purchased nuclear fuel that will now go unused, and wasted spare parts.
But only time will tell how much the closing will cost shareholders and the public, he said.
"I think the bottom line is that we're still looking at our (the Office of Public Counsel's) rights and options here," he said, "And we're still studying what they announced."
The Florida Public Service Commission also must approve the closing of the plant and decide if it is the most prudent move.
Meanwhile, Duke said Tuesday it was considering whether to build a new, natural gas-fueled power plant to replace the power lost from the Crystal River nuclear plant.
Such natural gas plants typically cost about $1 billion and could be operational by 2018.
Progress also still has in the works plans to build two nuclear reactors in Levy County. Originally slated to be operational by 2016 at a cost of between $4 billion and $6 billion, the estimated price tag has ballooned to as much as $24 billion and the operational date has been pushed back to 2024 at the soonest.
Rehwinkel doesn't think the decision to mothball Crystal River will affect the proposed Levy County facility.
"I don't think it is in any way connected to Levy County," he said.
Rehwinkel thinks the Levy County plant's weakness is its $24 billion price tag, which will eventually derail the project.
"The (Crystal River) plant was doomed to its original life span (slated to close 2016) due to its concrete," he said, noting that the concrete mixture used was uniquely poor in its ability to bend and accommodate the tension bars inside the walls.
Ted Kury, director of energy studies at the University of Florida, predicted the closure is no indication that other nuclear plants will share the same fate.
"You're talking about a specialized type of damage (at Crystal River) and a repair technique that has been used successfully elsewhere," Kury said. "They reached a point where repair costs exceeded benefits."
But the plant's demise should not be a cause for celebration, he said.
"It's another source of energy (nuclear power) that we have in Florida where we didn't have to import fuel on a daily or monthly basis," Kury said.
Currently, there are only two other functioning nuclear power plant facilities in Florida: the St. Lucie Nuclear Power Plant on Hutchinson Island, near Fort Pierce, in St. Lucie County; and the Turkey Point Nuclear Generating Station east of Homestead. Neither are owned by Duke Energy.
Duke owns a total of seven nuclear units, including Crystal River.
As for natural gas, the price is relatively low, but Kury warned that U.S. energy companies are already planning to export vast supplies oversees, where prices are higher and more profit can be made.
"And at some point that will lead to upward price pressures," he said. "Prices are low right now only because we can't export it now."
Kury predicts that within the next 10 years 20 percent of the natural gas Americans use now will be exported.
Steve Smith, executive director of the Southern Alliance for Clean Energy, said the Crystal River closing reflects not only on Progress', but Florida regulators' unwillingness to halt the utility giant's poor decisions about repairs.
He said the PSC never should have let Progress go as long as it did, pouring good money after bad, and never should have allowed the utility to use in-house engineers in developing repair plans. Smith said the PSC "abdicated its responsibilities" and the public is now suffering for it.
Smith applauded Duke's decision, saying it had "inherited a mess" that was the result of "bonehead" repair decisions.
He warned that the same regulators who allowed Progress to fiddle when it came to wasting money on Crystal River, now are just as absent when it comes to the proposed Levy plant.
Meanwhile, 600 Crystal River nuclear plant employees await their fate.
Progress Energy spokeswoman Suzanne Grant said several hundred people will be needed during the coming years to oversee the plant's closing. But she warned not all 600 will be needed for that work. Duke said in a press release it will try to incorporate as many of the 600 into other Duke plants as possible.
The Crystal River energy complex, which includes the nuclear facility, also includes four coal-burning plants. Two have been improved to meet federal environmental standards. Two are slated to close in the coming years.
Crystal River City Council member Paula Wheeler said the plant closing will not negatively affect the city or county's public image.
"I don't want to be disrespectful to the (employees), but I never associated the city Crystal River with the plant," Wheeler said. "We've stressed Crystal River's association with nature.
"We've certainly enjoyed the employment opportunities," she said, "but Crystal River is much more than a one-note community."

Dreyfus and Kelly lament that fact and respond to the situation by introducing (or reintroducing) readers to several literary classics of the Western world.... The organizing principle is mostly thematic, with chapters dealing with nihilism, polytheism, monotheism, and autonomy. The work is not religious in the traditional sense. Jesus and Christianity are brought into the discussion only occasionally as conversation partners, and the target audience includes people who would rather listen to Immanuel Kant than the Apostle Paul.... The conclusion is hopefulthat one can live a life worth living in a secular age. It starts with recognizing 'shining' things when we encounter them.

Corp.'s (INTC)
ultra-mobile efforts (smartphones, tablets), recently hit a slight speed bump
with the abrupt departure of Anand Chandrasekher, senior
vice president of mobility.
To begin to compete in the smartphone and tablet space, Intel needs to try to
launch three major Intel Atom designs this year -- a high end tablet platform (Oak
Trail) for Windows tablets; a lightweight tablet platform for Android and
other lighter tablets (Moorestown); and a smartphone processor (Medfield).
The first of that trio -- Oak Trail officially landed
today [press release].
The chip and chipset are shipping to OEMs now and will be popping up in
consumer products next month.
I. Oak Trail -- Powering Long Await Windows Tablets
Lincroft and Oak Trail will be teaming up to
provide something customers (or DailyTech readers, at least)
have been clamoring for -- Windows tablets. Currently Windows tablets are
more rare than the Siberian Tiger, with just a handful of models -- such as the HP Slate from Hewlett-Packard,
Comp. (HPQ)
-- selling at low volumes. Those older models are all built on older
Atom processors.
With the new processor/chipset, Intel finally has a dedicated solution and the
result is a processor that makes much better sense to put in a tablet than its
previous offerings.
Intel has announced that its partners in deploying Windows tablets
include Evolve III, Fujitsu Limited, Lenovo, Motion Computing, Razer, and
Intel says the new platform is also perfect for Android, Meego (its
proprietary OS), and other operating systems. While the
unreleased Moorestown may be a better fit for those platforms,
Lincroft/Oak Trail may be an acceptable stopgap solution.
II. What's Inside the Chip, Chipset?
i. The Chip
The new chipset Oak Trail accompanies the processor codenamed Lincroft,
whose models will be branded under the name Intel Atom Z6xx (with
"xx" denoting the product number).
The Z6xx series features an integrated GPU (the Intel Media Accelerator 600)
and memory controller on its die. In order to fit those components neatly
on the die, Intel has shrunk the CPU by 60 percent in size. The new CPU
is clocked between 1.5 GHz (Z670) and 800 MHz (Z600).
Intel has not announced specific details on the built-in GPU, other than to say
that it will be capable of playing high definition 1080p video. Intel
says the chip will also be more than capable of running media written in Adobe
Flash media.
The entire chip is a second-generation architecture built on a 45 nm process.
The chip's memory controller supports both DDR and DDR2 RAM.
But perhaps the most important thing is that the entire platform draws between
3 watts (Z670) and 1.3 watts (Z600). While not as low as ARM, these low
figures are a much better effort and dramatically lower than Intel's previous
offerings. As you might notice, this is partly thanks to dropping the
clock speed, but it's also largely driven by design improvements.
Intel uses two power technologies dubbed SpeedStep and Enhanced Deeper Sleep.
The former technology offers multiple voltage points to help match the
voltage (and power) to the necessary processing speed. The latter
converts cache to system memory when the system goes inactive. This
provides a net power savings, as well.
The processor is a fanless design.
ii. The Chipset
The new chipset includes a PCI bus, a necessary component for Windows tablets.
Aside from the PCI bus, the chipset is pretty expectable -- it includes support
for USB 2.0 and HDMI. Intel has made it more "green" by
ditching halogens and lead.
The new chipset's official branding is "SM35 Express".
III. What's Next?
Intel still has to get Moorestown and Medfield out
the door. But it also mentioned in its press release that it would be
preparing a 32 nm refresh of Oak Trail, dubbed Cedar Trail.
Intel's press release seemed to indicate
that Cedar Trail would be aimed at both netbooks and desktops.
It's hard to imagine a decent Atom desktop, but it should be interesting
to see what Intel cooks up.
With ARM firmly entrenched in the smartphone and tablet market, its ARM's game
to lose. Intel obviously brings a lot of marketing muscle to the table,
but it remains to be seen in dedicated independent benchmarking how Lincroft-based
tablets hold up battery-life wise.
Intel claimed in its press release that it's moving "faster than Moore's
Law". It certainly needs to given how far behind in tablets and
smart phones it is.
Intel also has to beware ARM creeping into netbooks. Microsoft
Corp.'s (MSFT) patience
with it is waning, as evidenced by the company's decision to support ARM in
future versions of Windows. Intel has a narrow window of opportunity to prove its mettle. Thus it will be very
interesting to see how this new platform fares, both in real-world performance,
and in sales.

Dynamics of Economic and Demographic Behavior: "Clean Processes" From the Panel Study of Income Dynamics (PSID) (ICPSR 1239)
Principal Investigator(s): Lillard, Lee A., University of Michigan
Lee A. Lillard, director of the Retirement Research Center at the University of Michigan, senior research scientist at its Institute for Social Research, and professor of economics, developed a unique method for analyzing the rich compendium of data collected by the Panel Study of Income Dynamics (PSID) since its inception in 1968. Lee died in December 2000, and his colleagues at PSID decided to provide the fruits of his work to the research community so others might benefit from an exploration of his techniques and methodologies for analyzing data. Lee created what he called "clean processes" to investigate a number of dynamic behaviors that are measured longitudinally in PSID, such as employment, marriage-divorce, and fertility. He and his programmers and research assistants put these processes into a consistent framework, and made decisions about how to resolve inconsistencies, missing items, etc. Data from the files can be entered, as appropriate, in dynamic econometric models of related and mutually causal processes: for instance, the relationships among marriage, fertility, and female labor supply. Thus, researchers can study various combinations of these behaviors without having to go through complex file creation for each project.

bore some surprising
In September 2006, the Space Shuttle STS-115 launched, carrying in its cargo a
sample of Salmonella bacteria. The sample was part of a collaborative
experiment with Arizona State University's Center for Infectious Diseases and
Vaccinology, which wanted to investigate the effects of weightlessness and
other space phenomena on pathogens. ASU kept a separate sample in similar
condition on earth as a control group.
When the sample from space returned, they proceeded to feed both strains of
salmonella to lab mice.
The results were startling. After 25 days, 40 percent of the earth-strain
mice were still alive. Only 10 percent of the group infected with the
space-strain was still alive. Researchers conducted additional studies
which revealed that only 1/3 as many of the space-strain pathogens were needed
to kill a healthy mouse as earth strain pathogens. The conclusions--the
space strain had become far more deadly on its journey into orbit.
Genetic studies revealed that the bacteria had mutated quickly in space and had
a total of 167 genes changed.
Professor Cheryl Nickerson, one of the study's researchers cautions that the
cause for the increased toxicity is not definitively known (the 64 million
dollar question as she puts it), but she says that it is thought to be due to
fluid shear effects.
"Being cultured in microgravity means the force of the liquid passing over
the cells is low… [The cells] are responding not to microgravity, but
indirectly to microgravity in the low fluid shear effects."
"There are areas in the body which are low shear, such
as the gastrointestinal tract, where, obviously, salmonella finds itself,"
she went on to say. "So, it's clear this is an environment not just
relevant to space flight, but to conditions here on Earth, including in the
infected host."
Nickerson sees the mutation as a natural adaptation to a
changing environment in order to survive. The increased toxicity is a
side effect.
The research will be published in today's edition of "Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences

Corp. (6758) has been rocked in
recent weeks by a pair of high profile system intrusions. One intrusion caused
the outage of the company's Qriocity streaming media and PlayStation Network
(PSN) services, along with the loss
of 77 million customer records. A second intrusion at Sony Online
Entertainment lost
24 million additional customer records.
Together the intrusions may
have lost over 10 million customers credit and debit cards, though Sony is
still being unclear about whether
or not this valuable information was taken.
I. Stepping up Security
In an effort to clean up its act, Sony has hired privately held security firm
Data Forte to track down the cyber criminals. Data Forte is the brainchild
of a former special agent with the U.S. Naval Criminal
Investigative Service.
The Japanese electronics giant has also retained cyber-security detectives from
Guidance Software Inc. (GUID) and consultants from
Robert Half International Inc.'s (RHI) subsidiary Protiviti to
assist in the investigation and cleanup.
There is a bit of irony there, in that Robert Half was itself the victim of
customer data loss just
weeks ago. Robert Half contracted email service solutions firm
Epsilon to manage its client email database. Like many Epsilon customers,
it was shocked to hear that Epsilon's entire database of emails from various
client companies had been stolen.
The three investigating firms are working closely with U.S.
Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI) to examine possible identity
theft or credit card fraud attempts from the individuals who stole the
II. What's the Status?
One of the frustrating things about the entire incident is that Sony has been
extremely unclear about whether users' credit cards were stolen. In all
of its statements it adopted ambiguous legal language-esque passages, which
while not saying the cards numbers were stolen, also did not rule out the
Initially, Sony was also very quiet about the breach itself, waiting a full
week before informing customers of its discovery and why the networks were
down. When it did finally inform them, it did offer them a great deal of
information about the breach itself (though it offered precious little
clarification on some of the most important points, like credit card loss).
Sony, whose Japanese executives have publicly apologized to customers, has also
been silent about its ongoing investigation.
Other security firms, though, who aren't involved firsthand, but reportedly
have knowledge of the situation, are speaking out. In an interview with Reuters, David
Baker, vice president of services with electronic security firm IOActive,
states, "It's a significant operation."
He said that he believes that Visa and MasterCard have hired their own
investigators to probe the incident as well. If true, this may indicate a
greater likelihood that credit card information was indeed lost.
Sony is facing pressure
from politicians about its failure to clarify the situation to the
public. Connecticut Senator Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.)
sent a
letter to Sony on Tuesday demanding that it clarify whether or not
credit cards were stolen.
In the letter he says he will call on the U.S.
Attorney General, Eric Holder, to probe whether or not Sony should be held
criminally or civilly liable for losing its customers personal information, including,
potentially, financial records.
He writes:
I would appreciate a direct and public answer detailing what the
company will do in the future to protect its consumers against breaches of
their personal and financial information.
Reportedly one thing Sen. Blumenthal and others are upset about is the report
that Sony waited two days after finding out about the breach before contacting
the FBI.
III. Legal Troubles Ahead for Sony?
Despite its efforts to turn the corner with its internal security and track
down the perpetrators of the breach, legal troubles may be looming for Sony, as
Sen. Blumenthal's comments might suggest.
The company has retained the services of Baker &
McKenzie, a law firm. Reportedly the move was designed to retain
services to help prosecute cyber-criminals involved in the break in.
However, it may also be designed to beef up Sony's legal defense against customers.
A Toronto law firm on Tuesday announced a $1B CD
($1.05B USD) class-action suit against Sony for breach of privacy, naming
a 21-year-old PlayStation user from Mississauga, Ontario, as the lead
plaintiff. Lawyers for McPhadden Samac Tuovi LLP, say that the
suit's requested damages would allow Sony's customers to purchase fraud
prevention and credit monitoring service for two years.
It is likely that similar class action lawsuits will pop up in the U.S. and the
European Union.
Many Sony customers are upset not only about the possible loss of their credit
card information, but also the loss of their usernames and passwords.
While hashed, it's possible that sophisticated hackers could reverse the
hash, giving them access to potentially millions of users Facebook, Gmail,
Twitter, and other accounts, given that they also have the users emails and
real names (which were reportedly unhashed and unencrypted).

the problem with our broadcasts is that these guys come off far too much like they are fans who travel with the team..i.e. that they're emotionally invested with the players. I think that is the truth, don't get me wrong, but that means we will usually get either a string of whining when we're not playing well, or complete over the top excitement for basic plays like rebounding (like when matt devlin uses a raspy voice to go "ANDREA WITH THE REBOUND")
I think this is acceptable if you are fun to listen to like Chuck was (and I always loved how leo was jealous of his catch phrases)
But I would like some more objectivity in my broadcasts, similar to the way they have it on TNT. The one announcer with a former player or coach like Reggie Miller, or JVG is always much better to listen to because they know the game, and they speak about things realistically.
We spend all day talking to our friends about the games, we don't need another fan's perspective. Let's get some real knowledge from these people
P.S. no more changing the camera angle when we have a fast break....they ruined T-ross' windmill this year

Those Dreaded Performance Reviews: Editor/Publisher's Column
Credit Union Times hosted our second Not for CEOs live stream of 2013 this week on a topic we all love to hate: annual performance reviews. Our goal was to change that image and focus on what they can be good for. What can managers and employees take away from them?
At one time, I had a manager who did not give reviews. There is nothing more frustrating than not knowing what you're doing right and what you need to improve upon. When I asked the first time about it, this person said, "What? You got a pay raise." Not helpful.
One of the key concepts that came out of the session was that an annual review is not frequent enough to be effective if that is all it's going to be. Managers should be giving and receiving feedback on a regular basis in order to make it the most useful. I'd add track performance throughout the year. Otherwise, you'll end up just recalling recent months. Some employees deserve to be recognized for marked strides made over the full year that you won't notice over a shorter period of time. Others know reviews are coming and straighten up in the short term.
Compliments are almost always welcomed, except for a few shy folks out there. Constructive criticism is always good, no matter which direction it flows. Take it in, try to objectively determine whether it's valid or not, and if it is, embrace it. Many times managers feel a pressure to have all of the answers, but often it's best to learn about yourself and the business by listening to those who are reporting to you.
The 360-degree review can be a good way to accomplish this, but for that to have practical application, a trusting environment must already exist. No one will provide anywhere near an honest assessment of their boss if that comfort level doesn't exist, and even when it does, they'll likely tone it down some. Even colleagues at the same level will take a tone appropriate to office politics.
You can view the archive of this event as well as past video casts at CUTimes.com/NotforCEOs to get more great advice on assisting employees with leadership development and how to get what you need in your career progression even when you have a boss who is a poor communicator.
Our panelists – Susan Mitchell, president of Mitchell, Stankovic & Associates in Boulder City, Nev.; Bill Clancy, vice president of retail strategy at Lake Michigan Credit Union in Grand Rapids, Mich.; and Michael Molaka, vice president of operations at BrightStar Credit Union in Sunrise, Fla. – highlighted that the "autocratic" (Sue's word and entirely apropos) management style of the past doesn't necessarily work any more.
The workplace is populated by four different generations of employees that need to be not just managed but also assisted toward their aspirations. Many employee reviews are akin to JFK's famous quote: Ask not what your company can do for you, ask what you can do for your company.
The concept really is ironically communist in a capitalist nation. Employee reviews must necessarily include the technical aspects of the job, but change it 1) to reflect how a particular employee's role is fulfilling the organization's mission and 2) to allow the employee to discuss what would make them happy and how the organization can fulfill employee needs.
Managers should also go beyond patting employees on the back for a job well done. Compliment them in front of upper management. Current managers should not feel threatened by hiring, developing and bragging about good employees. Those folks are the ones who are making you look good, so highlight the stars because they deserve it. And if that makes you look even better, so be it.
One of the challenges all of our panelists agreed on is that the current corporate structure that requires managers to produce work in addition to management. It causes managers to set aside the important strategic aspects of management such as mentoring their team in favor of the fire drill du jour. Add to the mix that many managers now have too many direct reports anyway. The end result can be a lack of depth at the organization that leads to ruin.
Finally, a delicate matter that is near and dear to my heart: Don't take the easy way out and give positive reviews to people who don't deserve them. It does not help that person grow. It does not move them toward the organization's goals if that's even going to be possible. It does not help you grow as a manager if you avoid unpleasantness. Ultimately, and most importantly, it devalues the glowing reviews of those on your team that truly deserve it.

The goal of next year is the playoffs. With drastic changes supposedly on the way to accomplish this and the overall talent of the roster due for an upgrade, there appears to be 2 ways to go about it:
Wait until after July 1st and use free agency and the draft (1 first round pick and 2 second round picks) as the primary means adding talent. In free agency the Raptors would have about $10M in cap space unless they amnesty someone (Jose? Linas? Amir? AB?). The Raptors would have to renounce their TPE from Barbosa trade and they would have to renounce their rights to Bayless to get their full cap space.
Use their $10.3M of cap space prior to July 1st too add talent and salary via trade. Then use their Barbosa TPE in the same or another trade. Use their draft picks. Use their exceptions in free agency: mid-level ($5M) and bi-annual ($1.8M). Use Bird Rights to extend Bayless or use him in a sign and trade.
What would you do in Colangelo's shoes?

There has been a poor dead dog laying alongside Highway 491, just outside of Cortez, for a couple of weeks now. My wife, who is an animal activist and professional pet sitter, has tried to get the corpse picked up, with no success. No surprise in this day and age; none of our public agencies will step up. Cortez and Montezuma County are supposed to be some kind of tourist destination with Mesa Verde and all of that; I wonder how that plays with corpses laying alongside the road.
I have been a resident here for 12 years now, and constantly read of this angst as to what is wrong with this community, why we can't attract industry and professional services. Look in the mirror: stupidity and opposition to change.
I will go tomorrow morning and pick up this poor dog, take it to my own residence, and give it a proper burial. Shame on you Cortez, Montezuma County and the State of Colorado for sitting on your thumbs.

All 1-9 tails came from 10 tails.
Therefore all abilities of each 1-9 tailed beasts can be used by the 10 tails.
The 10 tails chakra was divided into 1-9 chakra which became the 1-9 tailed beasts.
Kurama that came from 10 tails chakra feels the SO6P power within naruto (see pic below)
How and why kurama recognized the SO6P power within naruto? he recognized the SO6P power when naruto uses the new sealing tech to him... The SO6P as jinchuriki in which kurama chakra and other tailed beast chakra that was inside the body of SO6P probably experience the same or similar kind of sealing tech used by naruto..
So when kurama as chakra returns to its owner which is the 10 tails there's a possiblity that the 10 tails will also recognized naruto as the new SO6P.
How will the 10 tails recognized naruto as new SO6P? is it by the sealing tech that naruto use to kurama? nope
The chakra(which is kurama) will proudly tell to 10-tails that "this boy inherit the power of the SO6P".
Therefore IMO there will be a repeat battle that might happen between the 10 Tails and the new SO6P which is naruto.

Your doctor may do a routine pelvic exam. Most significant fibroids are discovered on routine pelvic examination. If symptoms, such as heavy bleeding, suggest the presence of fibroids that are not discovered on pelvic examination, further evaluation with imaging tests may be needed.
These tests may include:
- Transvaginal ultrasound—A smooth probe inserted into the vagina produces images of pelvic structures using high frequency sound waves.
- CT Scan —This is a type of x-ray that uses a computer to make pictures of structures inside the body.
- MRI scan —This test uses magnetic waves to make pictures of structures inside the body.
- Hysteroscopy —A thin, lighted telescope-like tube is inserted through the vagina to the cavity of the uterus.
- Laparoscopy —In this procedure, a thin tubelike instrument called a laparoscope is inserted through a small incision near the navel to allow the doctor to look inside the abdomen.
- Hysterosalpingography —In this x-ray procedure, a dye is injected into the uterus and fallopian tubes to outline any irregularities of the uterine wall and fallopian tube passages.

Feds Charge Five in Navy Federal Fraud, ID Theft Ring
Five people have been charged with running a short-lived conspiracy ring of bank fraud and identity theft that stole nearly $90,000 over three months from member accounts at the $54 billion Navy Federal Credit Union in Vienna, Va.
Federal prosecutors in Norfolk, Va., have indicted Donte L. Battin, Ted Joe Armstead, Dymond Chappelle, Camron B. Witkowski and Cameron M. Allen on multiple counts of conspiracy, bank fraud and aggravated identity theft.
From January to March, 2013, the ring of five conspirators allegedly obtained the personal information – Social Security numbers, date of birth and credit union account information – from lease applications filled out by NFCU members at the North Shore Garden Apartments in Norfolk, Va., according to court documents.
The members had no way of knowing that the information would be used illegitimately, federal prosecutors said.
The fraudulent scheme involved at least 20 different member accounts, court documents reveal.
Federal prosecutors allege the conspirators used the lease agreements to identify individuals with Navy Federal accounts. The conspirators would then impersonate and assume the identity of those account holders over the phone or Internet to steal funds.
What's more, the conspirators recruited individuals who had Navy Federal accounts to serve as "hosts" for fund transfers, authorities said.
The conspirators would steal money from the victim's account, cash advances or loan proceeds from fraudulent loan applications and transfer those funds to a host account, according to court documents.
The hosts would agree to accept the cash transfers, withdraw the funds and hand over the money to conspirators.
"After obtaining such monies, the conspirators sometimes gave the host a portion of the money for assisting in the transaction," the indictment states.
Four of the five conspirators have been arrested. On Thursday, federal authorities detained Battin, Allen and Witkowski who were awaiting hearings in U.S. District Court in Norfolk. Chappelle has been released on a $5,000 bond. Armstead is still at large, according to court documents.

The House of Representatives finally approved a deal on the fiscal cliff Tuesday night, paving the way for President Barack Obama to sign a bill that will stave off tax hikes for most Americans.
After a chaotic day of wrangling, the House voted 257-167 to approve the bill.
Most Republicans voted against the measure, which will raise tax rates for individuals and households earning more than $400,000 and $450,000, respectively, as well as increase tax rates on capital gains and dividends, raise taxes on estates above $5 million, and extend unemployment benefits and some stimulus tax credits.
The bill also delays the onset of automatic spending cuts by two months, and does nothing to deal with the issue of raising the debt ceiling, setting the stage for another round of major budget battles in the next Congress.
On Tuesday, House Republicans initially indicated that they would amend the bill to include spending cuts, but dropped that plan when it was clear that they did not have the votes to pass an amendment.
In a statement after the vote Tuesday, Obama said he will now sign the bill but warned it was "just a first step" toward solving the country's budget issues.
Check out our full liveblog of the day's developments below.
There are growing concerns that the Senate will pass a bill.
Based on tweets from politicos and reporters, such as Ed Henry from Fox News there are growing concerns that the House will actually pass the Senate bill:
Fiscal cliff deal crumbles? @chadpergram reports Boehner, Cantor unhappy in private meeting, may amend bill & send back to Sen #chaosensues?— Ed Henry (@edhenryTV) January 1, 2013
It's not surprising that there are concerns.
As we explained here, there's frustration about there being zero cuts.
And as the CBO just announced, the bill adds $4 trillion to the current debt baseline. Any reversal of tax increases was always going to produce a huge deficit increase, but this is still a tough headline to swallow.
Breaking: Leaving mtg, Rep. Spencer Bachus says deal will "go back to the Senate."
— Robert Costa (@robertcostaNRO) January 1, 2013
House Democrats are holding a press conference
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi is calling for a "straight up-or-down" vote on the fiscal cliff deal.
"There shouldn't even be a question," Pelosi said. "It's long overdue for us to have a solution."
"We expect — and the American people deserve — an up-or-down vote."
CANTOR: "I do not support the bill"
House Majority Leader Eric Cantor just told reporters that he cannot support the fiscal cliff bill in it's current form.
He added that Republicans have made no decisions on the path forward.
BOEHNER SPOX: Lack Of Spending Cuts Was 'A Universal Concern' Among Republicans
House Speaker John Boehner's spokesperson Brendan Buck sends this update from this afternoon's House GOP conference meeting:
"The Speaker and Leader laid out options to the members and listened to feedback. The lack of spending cuts in the Senate bill was a universal concern amongst members in today's meeting. Conversations with members will continue throughout the afternoon on the path forward."
Cantor Spox: Everyone Just Chill Out For A Sec
With speculation mounting over what House Republicans plan to do about the fiscal cliff, Rory Cooper, a spokesperson for House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, sends out this tweet:
Joe Biden: "I think we're going to be fine"
Caught by cable news cameras during a sandwich run near the White House, Vice President Joe Biden brushed off reports that House Republicans are going to send the fiscal cliff bill back to the Senate, saying that he thinks "we're going to be okay."
Fox News producer Joy Lin tweets this photo of the encounter:
House Republicans are convening at 5:15 p.m. for a second caucus meeting on the fiscal cliff bill.
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi again urges Boehner for an up-down vote on the fiscal cliff bill.

REPORTS: House GOP will whip spending cuts — if they can't get the votes, they'll hold an up-down vote on the Senate bill
Several reporters, including MSNBC's Chuck Todd and Politico's Jake Sherman, are tweeting that House Republican leaders have come up with a two-bill strategy on the fiscal cliff.
According to the reports, GOP leaders will whip votes for an amendment to add spending cuts to the bill the Senate passed early Tuesday. If they cannot get the 218 votes they need to pass the amendment, they have said they will hold an up-down vote on the Senate legislation.
Democratic Senate aides have said that Majority Leader Harry Reid will not hold a vote on any amended bill.
If the reports are correct, it would appear as though Republicans are tacitly conceding defeat. Earlier this month, House GOP leaders were unable to muster up the votes to pass the fiscal cliff "Plan B" bill, legislation that was authored by Republicans and originated in the House. So it seems safe to conclude that Republicans won't go for the deal brokered by the White House and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell.
On the other hand, House Democrats have said they are confident the unaltered McConnell-Biden deal could pass the House on an up-down vote.
The House is back in session
Republicans don't think they have the votes to pass the spending amendment.
As expected, reports from the House floor indicate that Republicans don't have the votes to pass the spending cuts amendment to the Senate fiscal cliff bill.
If that is the case, GOP leaders have said that they will hold an up-down vote on the Senate bill.
Here's the full spending amendment Republicans are trying to pass...
Republican members are now saying that it looks like the Senate fiscal cliff bill will pass on an up-down vote.
Oklahoma Republican Rep. Tom Cole told CNN that he believes the House will vote to pass the Senate fiscal cliff bill tonight, the implication being that GOP leaders don't have the votes to pass their spending amendment.
"The Senate bill has big wins for us," Cole said. "We'll take what the Senate negotiated and pass it."
The House Rules Committee is still awaiting word on which bill they are bringing to the floor for a vote tonight.
GOP House aide predicting the passage of Senate bill: "Members seem tired and ready to go home."
The House Rules Committee is set to decide on an up-down vote on the clean Senate bill.
So that's it for the GOP's spending amendment...
Both House Speaker John Boehner and House Minority Nancy Pelosi believe the bill will pass on an up-down vote, likely with a majority of support coming from Democrats.
CNN reporter Dana Bash tweets that the House will vote on the Senate bill at the 9 p.m. hour.
The House Rules Committee has approved a closed rule to bring the Senate fiscal cliff bill to the floor.
Vote expected around 9:30 p.m.
The House is back in session for debate over the Senate fiscal cliff bill.
Top conservative groups are urging House Republicans to vote against the Senate bill.
Several top conservative groups — including FreedomWorks, the Club for Growth, and the American Conservative Union — issued statements Tuesday night urging House Republicans to vote against the fiscal cliff.
FreedomWorks president Matt Kibbe told Politico he was "utterly offended" by the process, and reiterated his group's opposition to allowing any of the Bush tax cuts expire.
ACU president Al Cardenas took a more measured approach, issuing a statement urging the House to remove all of the stimulus spending measures in the Senate bill and pass an amended version of the bill that only includes the provisions that extend the Bush tax credits for those earning under $450,000 and allow a slight increase in the estate tax rate.
The Club for Growth, Heritage Foundation, and Americans For Prosperity have also come out in opposition to the deal.
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi just wrapped up her floor speech on the bill.
Pelosi couldn't resist a little gloating on the House floor tonight, calling the vote on the Senate fiscal cliff bill "an important first step" to economic recovery.
"We thank Speaker Boehner for bringing this legislation to the floor," she said. "While this bill doesn't accomplish all that we need to do...it is a good way for us to have a happy start to a new year."
Pelosi's speech followed the House's overwhelming vote in favor of a resolution to allow the Senate fiscal cliff bill go to a floor vote tonight. The final bill is expected sometime between 10:30 p.m. and 11:00 p.m.
No sign of Boehner or Cantor....
House Speaker John Boehner or Majority Leader Eric Cantor have yet to give remarks during the House floor debate over the fiscal cliff. Doesn;t look like either will make an appearance before the vote...
FINALLY! The House Is Voting On The Fiscal Cliff Deal
The House has officially passed a fiscal cliff deal.
The House voted 257-167 to pass the Senate bill on the fiscal cliff. The bill now heads to President Barack Obama for final approval.
House Speaker John Boehner and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi both voted in favor of the bill. Surprisingly, House Budget Chair Paul Ryan — author of the GOP's big austerity plan — also voted in favor of the bill.
Majority Leader Eric Cantor and Republican Whip Kevin McCarthy — the No. 2 and 3 House GOP leaders, respectively — voted against the deal. Both waited until the bill had cleared the 217 threshold to cast their votes.
In total, 172 out of 236 House Republicans voted against the bill, with just 82 GOP members voting in favor. Meanwhile, 172 Democrats cast yes votes, compared to 17 who voted no.
Obama will make a statement on the fiscal cliff deal at 11:20 p.m. tonight.
Pelosi sticks it to Boehner: 'I'm especially proud of the unity of the House Democratic caucus'
Unable to resist a little chest-thumping after Tuesday's House fiscal cliff vote, Democratic Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi issued a statement heralding the bill's passage as a "victory" for the Obama administration.
Pelosi, whose caucus delivered the majority of the votes needed to pass the deal, also took a pointed jab at her Republican counterpart, House Speaker John Boehner, who has struggled to rein in his caucus throughout the cliff debate.
Here's Pelosi's full statement:
"The House passage of the Senate's bipartisan legislation is a victory for the middle class. Our action permanently extends the middle class tax cut and promotes economic growth, while asking the wealthiest Americans to pay their fair share. It extends unemployment insurance for those who lost their jobs through no fault of their own.
"With the passage of this measure, we strengthen the principle that we must have equal parts revenue and spending cuts as we work to reduce our deficit. We strengthen our economy through investments in innovation, tax credits for education, and tax breaks to spur the technologies of the future, including renewable energy.
"Tonight's progress is not only a victory for the middle class but for the President and Vice President who campaigned on protecting the middle class – and kept their promise to the American people.
"I am especially proud of the unity in the House Democratic Caucus – of our ongoing commitment to protect the economic security of the middle class and our willingness to find common ground and work in a bipartisan way to get the job done. To that end, we are off to a good start in the new year."
John Boehner: 'Now the focus turns to spending'
In the wake of an embarassing defeat on the fiscal cliff bill to raise taxes, House Speaker John Boehner pledged to double down on the issue of spending cuts.
In a statement following Tuesday night's House vote on the fiscal cliff deal, House Speaker John Boehner promised to double down on the issue of spending cuts when the new Congress begins later this month.
By all counts, Boehner suffered an embarrassing defeat during this round of budget talks. After abandoning attempts to reach a "grand bargain" with the White House, the House Speaker failed to get the votes to pass his own "Plan B" earlier this month, poisoning negotations and punting the worsened situation to the Senate.
Today, Boehner once again failed to rein in his caucus. GOP leaders initially floated the idea of adding an amendment to include spending cuts in the Senate's fiscal cliff bill — a move that would have almost certainly killed the agreement — but couldn't get the votes to pass the measure. In the end, Boehner voted for the clean Senate bill, but lost the support of the majority of his caucus.
Here's his full statement on Tuesday's vote:
"The federal government has a spending problem that has led to a $16 trillion national debt that threatens our country's future. On the day after the election, I proposed that both parties work together to avert the fiscal cliff in a manner that would ensure 2013 is the year we finally enact entitlement reform and pro-growth tax reform to begin to solve our country's debt problem.
"Now the focus turns to spending. The American people re-elected a Republican majority in the House, and we will use it in 2013 to hold the president accountable for the 'balanced' approach he promised, meaning significant spending cuts and reforms to the entitlement programs that are driving our country deeper and deeper into debt.
"Without meaningful reform of entitlements, real spending controls, and a fairer, cleaner tax code, our debt will continue to grow, and our economy will continue to stumble. Republicans stand for a stronger, more prosperous America, rich in opportunity and free of the debt that threatens our children's future. On this New Year's Day, we renew our commitment to that vision, humbled by the opportunity to serve."

I wonder if a guy like Granger or Iggy was involved. And what they were asking for in return.
I wonder if a guy like Granger or Iggy was involved. And what they were asking for in return.
Who heard when BC said he it doesn't matter if he has to get rid of Bargs, even though he drafted him. That is something to be highlighted and double underlined in that conference. Because when it comes down to the nitty gritty he knows its Bargs or its him.
The worst case scenario they can't obtain a veteran center FA, they need to draft one and since Bargs wants to now play PF, his job was taken by Ed and Amir respectively.So what is he gonna do move to SF and face LBJ, Melo, Iggy on a night in and night out basis. YEAH RIGHT. Bargs is gone end of story. Its either he becomes a PF on a team that needs a scorer or he becomes the next Ajinca on our team.
I thought actually BC did a great job at the press conference. Didn't try to sell anything unrealistic to anyone, gave a pretty frank run down on the team and of his value in being kept on as GM (of which I am completely in favour). When he mentioned, "let's talk about the core," he finished, almost reluctantly, with Bargnani. This made me think he's not sold any longer on Bargnani as being part of that core. Bonus.
I too think that the Raps have some pretty good "assets" to be able to bring in 1 or 2 solid players - via the draft or otherwise - including a legitimate starting C which it now is fairly obvious will be the primary focus in the offseason. The players said they want one. The coach and the GM have now said they need one. Pretty cut and dry to me. Let the Gasol/Kaman/Jordan posts kick into full gear.
BC claiming to like "combo" players who can play a few positions seems to yell out pretty loudly to me that D. Williams will be high on his list of players to get in the draft (particularly in combination with his statement that a lot of the 4's are actually 3's). I'm almost positive he was talking specifically about Williams. I can't see him trading down, unless the Raps end up with the 5th or 6th pick (maybe 4th too). If that happens, I can see Biyombo being exactly the kind of player he'd take, if not in fact being the player he'd take and have in mind when trading down, given the team needs he mentioned. No one else in the mid-late lottery and out really has that upside/potential so common with Colangelo picks.
Also, given what BC said about, "if Washington won the lottery," I think it's pretty much set in stone that the Raps will be taking Irving if they pick first. Not that that's too much of a surprise.
It's relieving to know he's not just interested in token playoff appearances (for the sake of business and dollars), but is looking to build a team that will one day compete. That is, he's looking to build properly.
Confused. Without any hesitation, he says the teams first need is a legit 5. His next step is bargnani at the four. Forget Amir, where does this leave Ed? Another year of seasoning? Wouldn't be the worst thing on a team like the spurs but I'm not sure we have that luxury. I guess he didn't want to dis Jose by saying he would love a new point guard
Maybe he's trying to sell Bargs to whichever teams are listening
OR... BC could be feeding Raptors fans that line, in case Amir gets traded, so he can avoid the blowback from fans claiming that Davis is the only PF on the roster. The only way I see Bargnani staying in Toronto is if Amir gets traded. Assuming BC follows through (if given the opportunity) with his promise to bring in a big defensive-minded 5, there's no way there would be enough minutes for the new guy, Davis, Bargnani and Amir. One of Bargnani & Amir are gone, I am convinced of that. My assumption would be Bargnani, but if BC feels he can get better value in return for Amir, then he could keep Bargnani as the #3 big on the roster, capable of playing the 4 & 5.

Hes right though, pair him with a Dwight Howard, Monroe or Cousins type player and he could put you over the top.
Given his contract status and the fact he probably could have acquired players to sneak in to the 8th seed - or at least take a run at it - speaks volumes to his desire to build a winning team and speaks volumes to his character. He is looking out for the best interests of the franchise even when it is questionable if the 2/3's majority ownership of OTPP is.
I think that was the shortest amount of time ive ever heard BC talk about Bargnani. Probably because he finally realizes he has run out of excuses for him!
i remember previously reading that BC wasn't given the clearance to make these shortsighted deals and to stay the course of the rebuild. it's clear to me that any push made for the playoffs would have been to secure a future contract and not in the best interest of the franchise.
also, as the roster/cap situation sits now, we're in a similar position as we were when we attracted BC to signing with the organization. if these rumours of restraining BC manoeuvrability with the roster are true, this is something that would lead me to believing that the board has had the thought of a different direction from the top.
Man i hope they dont trade Amir for Bargnani's sake. That would just be wrong, and would just imply to the others that scoring takes precedence to hustle.
But it could happen. If they do let go of Amir, i hope they fucking (sorry for the language) grind Bargnani to the ground and set him straight on defense and rebounding. Hire Bill Russell, Olajuwon, Sampson whoever center is still alive out there who was known to be a presence in the paint while they were still playing. It wouldnt also be a bad thing if Ed plays behind Bargs. As good as he is, i dont think he's ready to be a starter, he needs to really bulk up and practice those post moves. Another year as a sub will definitely build up more desire in him to be better.
That was the lowest I've ever heard BC regard Bargnani. o.o Still quite diplomatic, but there's was an uncertainity in it. He also said that it doesn't matter if he play the 4 or the 5.
He's done the right things so far with this rebuild, tbh. I wouldn't mind him back. In fact, with the messy ownership, I would want him back.
They're not trading Amir
http://www.cbssports.com/mcc/blogs/e...38893/28520548In Toronto, GM Bryan Colangelo is caught in a dysfunctional situation in which powerful board member Glen Silvestri wants him out. Colangelo had sold ownership on a rebuilding plan in the wake of Chris Bosh leaving for Miami, and "that direction was agreed on," a person familiar with the situation said. But some members of ownership, chiefly Silvestri, are now suffering from what one source described as "convenient amnesia."
Colangelo's contract expires June 30, and coach Jay Triano also does not have a contract for next season. With the team expected to go up for sale in the next six months, and with a work stoppage looming, it isn't clear how quickly the majority owners will take action.
when reading what BC said its important to realize he isnt gonna come out and explain all his plans. Being a GM is lik eplaying poker sometimes. Try and read between the lines. From everything that has been going on around here and hearing the raptors game announcers saying Bargnani is a good trade asset. and BC calling bargnani an asset. and BC speaking the truth about bargni for once and calling him a 4 to make him look more appealing. Bargnani is gone this offseason , im 99 percent sure of that. If he cant find any trades that are good then maybe we dont trade him but i have a hard time thinking there wont be atleast a few teams willing to get bargnani. he seems like a pretty valuable piece in the league and teams are amazed by his scoring.
It sounds like were drafting Enes Kanter.

Friday, November 25, 2011 - Ivan and Honza - Broke CZ Boys
I really like Honza Forst and was very keen to get him in a duo, so I asked Boris to set this scene up, with Ivan Cakovsky. Ivan is a great performer, and it is always good to have an experienced guy with a novice. Honza resisted our overtures at first, but finally relented and agreed to do it. This is a Broke Czech Guys shoot, so you will here the directions given, telling the guys what to do. The scene starts with an interview and then the guys start to kiss. As they kiss Ivan removes Honza's pants, revealing a nice hard cock. He goes down and sucks on that cock. Ivan is expert at sucking and Honza lays back and lets him get on with it, sucking on the cock and balls. Then it is Honza's turn to suck Ivan. The look on Honza's face, as he realises what he is being asked to do, is priceless. But he does it, he starts to suck and seems to do it very well. As he sucks he wanks himself, keeping his dick nice and hard. He follows the instructions very well, licking up and down the shaft and sucking on the head. Then the guys move to a 69, both sucking before Ivan pulls Honza's legs up, exposing his ass. He rims that ass and fingers it, then as we get a real good look at the hole we see it is open nice and wide. Ivan shoves two fingers into Honza's ass and then uses a vibrator as well. Ivan works that hole real well, with Honza sucking his cock while he does it. With the hole loosened nicely it is time of some fucking and Honza is on his back, one leg up, so that Ivan can have easy access. His big, hard cock slides into Honza's ass and the starts to fuck. They then change position and Ivan continues to fuck Honza's open hole. Honza is feeling it, as we can see from his facial expressions, but he is taking it very well indeed. The move into a spoon position so Ivan can get his dick even deeper into Honza's ass and then Honza is told to sit on Ivan's cock and ride it. He does it very well and then he stops and Ivan starts to fuck his cock deep and hard into that hole. Ivan is ready to cum and he gets in position and shoots his load into Honza's mouth. Honza then sucks on Ivan's cum-coated cock to bring a really great scene to an end. Honza really did well in his first scene and I was very pleased to find out that he told Boris that next time he wants to be active. That is great news, he will be back for more real soon.
Erik Lasota is 30 years old and he lives in Prague, where he works as a surveyor. He enjoys all sports, particularly cycling and jogging. Erik is a very good looking guy. He speaks excellent English as we hear in his interview. Beginning his show Erik feels his chest, rubbing a hand over it. Then he gets on his knees and continues his caresses. He removes his jacket and begins to feel his crotch, through his jeans. He opens the jeans to reveal a nicely swollen cock. He starts to slowly jerk the cock and pulls out a set of big balls. The cock gets nicely hard as he plays with it and as he pushes his jeans down we see just how low those big balls hang. Erik wanks on his cock, it is very hard and his balls swing relentlessly as he jacks. Erik then turns around to show us his ass. He pushes his dick back, so we see it hard, below his ass hole. That hole looks very inviting, as it seems to open up all on it own. A hand runs over the ass cheeks, and spreads the ass, so we get an even better view of the hole. His cock is rock hard as he plays and he moves so we can see it better, pulling it back between his legs. Next Erik turns, front on, his dick throbbing and hard, poking out at us. He has precum and a finger touches it and he shows us a nice string of it. He then lays back and strokes his cock. A helping hand arrives and drips some oil on Erik's body. The hands rub the oil into Erik's body and legs, occasionally caressing the cock and balls. Then the hand takes hold of that big cock and starts to wank it. After a while the hands lift Erik's legs so the hole is exposed again. The hands wank on the cock and rub the hole as Erik builds up to a cum shot. He starts to moan as the hands work furiously and suddenly a big cum shot explodes from his cock. It goes everywhere. The hands milk the rest of the cum out of Eriks dick and then leave him to take a well deserved shower. Erik certainly did very well in this video, and what a lovely cum shot he gave us.
Karel Pisek, Pavel Dubcek and Zdenek Romany star in a totally remastered DVD quality version of Prague Buddies Scene 4. The scene starts as the guys are doing some fitness exercises and soon moves to the shower and, just as quickly, to a dis-used barn. There we see the guys are naked with Karel and Zdenek on their knees sucking Pavel's cock. That cock is rock hard and two sets of lips are moving up and down the shaft. Then Pavel turns around and presents his ass for Zdenek to rim while Karel is underneath sucking that throbbing dick. A complete switch around sees Karel being fucked by Pavel, with Zdenek underneath sucking while wanking himself. Then they change again and Pavel fucks Zdenek's hot ass while Karel is wanking himself as he watches. Then Karel moves underneath Zdenek to suck his cock too. Zdenek then lays downn and takes more of Pavel's dick in his ass and Karel's cock in his mouth. The action really sets Zdenek going and he shoots a massive load over himself. Karel then dumps his load over Zdenek too, followed swiftly by Pavel. Pavel is still very horny and fucks Zdenek again, in missionary position. Karel sucks on Zdenek's nipples at the same time. Then Pavel wants some more of Karel's ass and fucks him again. The action gets all the guys really horned up and they shoot their loads again, this time all over Karel. What a great scene, and wonderful to see it in this remastered version.
Jakub Buldra is 23 years old and lives in Haj ve Slezsku. He is a student who likes sports, fitness and cycling. Jakub is a stunner, with a really handsome face and a fabulous body. This is a really great shoot, with wonderful posing by Jakub, showing his body off to perfection. I love those shots of him with, at first, a flaccid cock. Then a nice hard one too. He also shows us some great views of his very hot ass. I can hardly wait to see his erotic video which will be online next week.

After reading Doug Smiths blog this morning I felt compelled to write and respond to his assessment that the Raptors are where they should be. His advice is that we all need to chill. Not should, not may but need.
Although I appreciate Mr. Smiths blog and insight he has provided over the years about the Raptors I believe that he has been drinking the Brian Colangelo cool-aid for far too long. I am also surprised that someone with his credentials and experience does not offer more insight and some reasonable suggestions but merely proposes that the Fans need to chill about the current state of the Raptors.
In his blog today he challenges us to prove to him that we thought that the Raptors should be scraping to get into the 8th and final playoff spot.
So, are the Raptors where they need to be? No they are not. Scraping to get into the 8th playoff spot this year was a realistic expectation for a team that has not been there the past 4 years. This is not merely my opinion but the expectation of many long standing Raptor fans and bloggers for this year.
Everyone has lamented (including me) if it is time to trade Bargnani. I have been advocating about a Bargnani trade since last year. I do not necessarily think that he is a horrible player and for 13 games last year I thought he had finally realized his potential. He is a very capable player and we should not dismiss this fact. What we need to look at is if hes still the player the Raptors need in Caseys system.
Caseys defensive system is predicated on a strong defensive center presence. The reason the Raptors improved last year so drastically on defense is because Bargnani (on the games he played in) along with Aaron Gray and Amir Johnson provided a strong center presence when they played the position.
This year with the arrival of Valanciounas, Bargnani has looked out of place on defense. On most defensive possessions he seems lost and does not know where to rotate. Here are five reasons why Colangelo should trade Bargnani as soon as possible:
1. Trading Bargnani will accelerate Valanciounas growth. The young center can benefit from a defensive minded power-forward and will get to improve his offence much quicker with more shots available to go around.
2. Demar DeRosan will be given the chance to emerge as the Raptors offensive leader. He has already rounded out his game this year. The next step is to become the Raptors leading scorer.
3. Ed Davis will get more minutes and will emerge as one of the Raptors best players of the bench
4. The Raptors will become a top 5 defensive team by the end of the year
5. Training Bargnani will give this franchise an opportunity to start fresh. We can longer wait for Bargnani to arrive. He never will while in Toronto.
Now you probably ask who you trade for Bargnani. I would go with Pau Gasol for Bargnani and Amir Johnson. Although the Lakers might be more inclined to take Fields instead of A. Johnson, who was a great fit in DAntonis system while in New York. This trade would not be feasible until late December.
Regardless of where the Raptors finish this year after a trade they would be able to improve and make a run at the playoffs next year with Gasol as the PF. The year after next they would also have $20M coming off the books when Gasols contract expires and they would be primed to make a significant free agent addition.
