Trustee to present commencement address
PLAINVIEW – Martin L. "Mark" Murdock will deliver the commencement address for Wayland Baptist University graduation ceremonies planned for Saturday, Dec. 11, at 2 p.m. in Harral Auditorium. Graduating senior Zack Greer of Pampa will present the student address at the event, in which a total of 65 students will receive diplomas.
Murdock is an Albuquerque native who played varsity basketball for Baylor University, serving as team captain his senior year. He earned a bachelor's degree in Bible and married classmate Linda May Moore in 1963 shortly after graduation.
He served in the U.S. Air Force, entering as an officer in 1966 and serving during the Vietnam War. Afterward, Murdock began a 37-year career in the food brokerage business, serving his last 16 years as president of the West Texas and New Mexico division of Crossmark, Inc. In that capacity, Murdock served two terms as president of the Lubbock Food Brokers Association and on various committees with the National Food Brokers Association. He received national recognition as "Broker of the Year" from major national manufacturers.
After retiring in 1999, he began a second career as vice president of business development and marketing for McDougal Companies in Lubbock, retiring in July 2004. He serves on the development council at Baylor and previously served as chair of that group. He also serves as vice chairman of the community investment division for the Lubbock Area United Way and is team leader for resourcing church starts for the Lubbock Area Baptist Association.
Murdock served for 10 years as a trustee for Wayland Baptist University, including two terms as vice chairman and two as chairman. He began another term in 2004. He is a member of Oakwood Baptist Church in Lubbock, serving as deacon, Sunday School teacher and on several committees.
Murdock and wife Linda have two children, Karen McMillian and Kyle Murdock, and five grandchildren.
Greer will earn a bachelor's degree in English and religion, with an emphasis in missions studies. A native of Pampa, Zack is the son of James and Dana Greer, presently serving as missionaries to Tanzania. His sister, Penny, is also graduating in the Saturday ceremony. Both plan to pursue missions careers.
Other program personalities include musical ensemble Spirit, and several graduates will be filling roles in prayer, scripture reading and introductions.

Thank you for everyone's help in making this year's Winter Social such a success. This couldn't happen without your help.
Thank you for everyone's help in making this year's Winter Social such a success. This couldn't happen without your help.
The Winter Social was a wonderful way to learn about our community and discover new things. I learned a lot about both the Morgan Elmer and Abrams Farms, saw a beautiful porcelain doll that Paula Hill brought (more than 100 years old) that was owned by the Earl family (as in "Earl Reservoir"), and I even learned a little about our ancient history through Indian arrowheads that Mr. Avener brought — and so much more.
Special thanks to the Woodbury police, who brought a display of some special items requiring them to be on hand to guard it. There are so many more to thank.
But if you missed it, you are in luck. Some of the displays are soon going on tour to both the Central Valley and Highland Mills libraries.
So thank you again and I hope you will take a few moments to view the displays as they tour our community.

I always enjoy reading your paper, especially the editorials.
But this time I would like to publicly say "thank you" to Assemblyman Frank Skartados and his staff. They helped my handicapped son, who is also a veteran, find an apartment after he had relocated to Newburgh.
We are forever grateful for his help and his staff, that gave to us in our time of need.
Again, thanks to your paper, we knew we could send our "thank you" personally.
Mrs. Charlotte C. Kaminsky
As a member of the Community Service Salute committee, and its emcee, I couldn't be more pleased with its success. The March 10 event, held at the Rocking Horse Ranch, welcomed more than 200 guests who came to honor a group of Marlborough's outstanding volunteers and community servants.
Surrounded by family and friends, these volunteers were honored by the community: Steven Bianco, Bobby Young and David Zambito; accompanied by an Honor Roll that included John Alonge Sr., Gael Appler Jr., Tom Corcoran, Kimberly Kniffin Hunt, Girard Purdy, Paul Quimby and Helen Rodelli.
The staff of the Rocking Horse Ranch were gracious, professional and efficient in welcoming our guests. Their attentive service was appreciated.
Each year, the Community Development Fund (CDF) dinner proceeds are distributed to organizations or projects that improve the quality of life for Marlborough's residents, and two CDF awards were given this year. A $500 award was accepted by the Marlboro Milton Lions Club to help offset expenses for additional holiday lights and decorations. A second gift of $1,500 was given to the Milton Engine Company No. 1 to support its building efforts at Milton Landing.
"Thank you" is such an inadequate phrase for the volunteers who have donated so much of their time, energy and devotion to their chosen volunteer projects. Nonetheless, on behalf of the entire community, I thank them again.
I also thank everyone who attended, and everyone who supported the keepsake journal. The Salute committee is to be thanked as well, for organizing an event that truly gave tribute to Marlborough's community servants.

I know what's on my Thanksgiving list. I'm so grateful that voters a year ago approved the largest bond referendum in district history, allowing us to start building our dream of 21st century schools.
Now we are $32 million into making that dream a reality. From the dazzling showcase for our high school redesign at Jefferson High School to more secure entryways at elementary schools to much-needed paving work, the renovations give our schools a new look and feel.
But it's about more than look and feel.
It's about aligning form with function. It's about transforming our high schools — and, in time, our middle schools — into an academy model of education that puts a priority on college and career readiness.
It's about leaving a smaller footprint. It's about using less energy so we can use more resources to educate our children than to pay our gas and electricity bills.
It's about multi-tasking our facilities. At Auburn, for instance, a 100,000 square-foot field house will contain physical education stations, a 200-meter track, basketball and volleyball courts, and eight new classrooms.
These multipurpose spaces are good for students — they promise greater fitness and stronger academics. But they are also good for the taxpayer. More flexible spaces mean they won't be obsolete in a few years. Remember the pod design for classrooms? We hope to never repeat those costly mistakes.
That's why we have hired DLR Group, a company helping us make sure our facilities plan will be as sound five, 10 or 20 years down the road as it is now.
In two recent focus groups, we have heard from students, parents, teachers and community members about what they want and need from district facilities. To form this group, we reached out to our teachers' union, our district parent advisory council and our principals.
Our school buildings shouldn't only work on blueprints and spreadsheets. They should work for you, the users. To this feedback, DLR will add its own comprehensive analysis and best-practice research.
We know we have a lot of catching up to do. For too long, we deferred maintenance and turned a blind eye to spaces unfriendly to modern educational methods.
That's why the School Board has pledged to use $30 million in budget reserves and $14 million in life safety bonds to supplement the $139 million in bonds the voters approved. The board is considering using additional money from reserves as well.
And, we intend to set aside $6 million a year over the next nine years to make sure we don't get in this position again. The total investment is likely to exceed a quarter of a billion dollars.
In addition to the Auburn field house (set to be finished by fall 2014) and the Jefferson renovation (we received a huge assist from Sharefest volunteers), here's a glimpse of what we have done and what we hope to finish by December:
n New entryways, security vestibules, resource rooms, cafeteria additions and production kitchens at Johnson, Conklin and Lathrop elementary schools
- New windows at East High School (replacing the school's original single-pane windows with energy-efficient ones)
- New security vestibule, gymnasium, conversion of the existing gym into a cafeteria and four new classrooms at Froberg
- New cafeteria, front-entry vestibule, boiler room, storage space and ADA accessibility at Spring Creek
- New cafeteria and two new classrooms for art and music at McIntosh
- Paving at Brookview, Froberg, Rolling Green, Spring Creek and Whitehead elementary schools; Flinn, Kennedy, Thurgood Marshall and West middle schools; and Jefferson High School
Be assured we haven't forgotten Nov. 6, 2012. By a nearly 2-to-1 margin, in the midst of recession and record cynicism about government, you pledged your confidence in us and our ability to meet the needs of children, now and into the future.
You believed in standing beside us as we created 21st century learning environments.
Be assured we won't let you — we won't let our kids — down.

Zappos Admits Pricing Mistake Cost It $1.6 Million; But Is Upfront About Taking The Hit Itself
from the such-is-life dept
However, this weekend, it looks like Zappos had a pretty massive pricing glitch on its sister site 6pm.com. It lasted a few hours. But what's different this time is that once Zappos fixed things, it immediately decided that it would still honor the wrong prices, even though the mistakes would end up costing the company (now owned by Amazon) $1.6 million. Now, between Amazon and Zappos, the two companies have a ton of money, and continue making a lot of money every day. But, no matter what, a $1.6 million pricing error is still a big deal. Big enough that you would think that the company could potentially withstand any sort of PR hit to trying to not honor those prices (perhaps offering up some sort of gift certificate or benefit to those impacted, instead). However, for a company that bases its entire reputation on bending over backwards to make customers happy, it appears they quickly decided that it was best for their overall reputation to just eat the $1.6 million, and keep (or even boost) that customer service reputation.

Fiel Garvie is one of the United Kingdom's most enigmatic and innovative pop music ensembles. After a previous collaboration in Passing Clouds, Anne and Adam formed Fiel Garvie in 1996, along with Greg and Jude. Emma joined up in 2002. During the past seven years The Garv has released five singles, an EP, and two full-length albums.
Their 1997 For What I Love single garnered Melody Maker's Single Of The Week honors, described as "music you could drown in" with Anne's vocals portrayed as a "headburst of unchecked emotion." Time Out heralded Fiel Garvie's fourth single, Difference of Me, as "a band taking a roundabout route to somewhere wonderful."
Their debut album, ¡Vuka Vuka! includes four songs from three of the band's previous singles, plus seven new tracks (the title translates to "Wake Up! Wake up!" from Mbele, a Zimbabwean dialect; it is also slang for natural viagra). Critics from across the continent alternately marvelled at the aggressive poetic content as well as the band's trademark eye-catching art design (Les Inrocks and Compact in France, Ruta 66 in Spain, and Rockerilla in Italy among others).
The band has performed with a variety of acts including: Magoo, Belly, Black Box Recorder, Muse, Deus, and The Telescopes.

The McHenry County College Board of Trustees is poised to vote tonight on extending MCC President Vicky Smith's contract.
At issue is the timing of tonight's special meeting and the perception that the lame-duck board is trying to award Smith a contract extension with as little fanfare as possible.
It is peculiar that an extension of Smith's contract is being tackled at a special meeting a week after three new MCC trustees were elected, despite a possible May 1 deadline to vote on an extension. Carol Larson and Barbara Walters lost re-election bids. Dennis Adams chose not to seek re-election. Replacing them will be Chris Jenner, Molly Walsh and Tom Wilbeck.
Jenner, Walsh and Wilbeck have been outspoken against a $42 million expansion plan at MCC, a project that has been championed by Smith.
Generally, we oppose lame-duck boards making decisions that will affect a future board's ability to govern. In this case, however, the current board is most qualified to assess Smith's performance on the job. And an additional one-year extension does not severely limit the new board from governing as needed.
How the current board has gone about the process, however, leads to a number of questions.
There is a regular MCC trustees meeting scheduled for April 25. Why tackle a contract extension at a special meeting? Why post notification of that special meeting late on a Friday afternoon and without an opportunity for public comment on the agenda? Only on Sunday was the agenda revised to include public comment. MCC chalked that up to a clerical error.
Why not seek more time for the public to weigh in on the issue? MCC trustees should have let taxpayers know that a contract extension was on the table and sought public input on it before voting at the April 25 meeting, not at a hastily called special meeting.
It's not too late. MCC should remove voting on a contract extension for Smith from tonight's agenda and vote on it April 25 after sufficient public input.

For a movie about three intelligent women — well, two intelligent women and an amiable assemblage of curves played by model Kate Upton — "The Other Woman" is disappointingly, disturbingly dumb.
For a movie about three intelligent women — well, two intelligent women and an amiable assemblage of curves played by model Kate Upton — "The Other Woman" is disappointingly, disturbingly dumb.
The tale of an unexpected friendship among three victims of a serial cheater, "The Other Woman" is caught, frustratingly, between the girl-power revenge of "The First Wives Club" and the gross-out squirms of "Bridesmaids."
Minutes whiz past by the dozens without a recognizably human reaction. Scenes are punctuated by vomit, a dog taking a dump on the floor and a second, more elaborate "fecal incident." And Cameron Diaz falls into some bushes. Twice. She also looks to have taken out some shrubbery during her tumble out of a second-story window.
It's as though the sole bit of instruction from director Nick Cassavetes ("The Notebook") was "be zany."
Entrepreneur Mark King ("Game of Thrones'" Nikolaj Coster-Waldau) and Carly Whitten (Diaz), described by her cartoonish secretary (Nicki Minaj) as "a ruthless law robot," seem like the perfect couple. Expensive clothes. Luxurious hotel hookups. Fancy dates all over Manhattan. He even picks up something for her from Tiffany for their eight-week anniversary.
Then Mark wakes up in Connecticut next to his loving wife, Kate (Leslie Mann), who bombards him with tales of people's brains exploding from eating undercooked bacon while she pees in front of him.
The women learn about each other when Carly tries to surprise Mark by showing up at his home dressed as a slutty plumber (already a leading candidate for this year's go-to Halloween costume). But instead of hating Carly, Kate stalks her into submission, always with her horse-sized dog in tow, until the two bond over alcohol and pretty clothes.
That friendship is put to the test, though, when Kate overhears Mark making plans for a romantic getaway. But he's not talking to Carly. It's a third woman, Amber (Upton), whose occupation appears to be "bombshell." Following a girl-crush from Kate and a surge of jealousy from Carly, Amber joins their weird little club — dubbed by Carly as "The Lawyer, The Wife and The Boobs" — and the three begin plotting revenge.
Described in the movie's press notes as "ingenious," their schemes — involving estrogen and laxatives, as well as hair remover in Mark's shampoo — sound like something hatched during junior high study hall. Presumably, they're saving the old flaming-bag-of-poo-on-his-doorstep gag for the Blu-ray.
Mann is a perky, gung-ho comic treasure. And she lends Kate an exasperated, worn-out charm, as seen when she unloads on Carly: "You had sex with my husband 50 times? Don't you have a job? Or hobbies? What's wrong with you?"
Later, when Carly suspects Kate may have just slept with Mark again, Kate is incredulous. "It's barely dark outside!"
But director Cassavetes eventually lets Mann overdo things, wielding her histrionics like a bomb instead of a bayonet.
Coster-Waldau is far more problematic as the three-timing Mark. Looking like a prettier Denis Leary, he ends up riding a toilet seat as though he's doing a dinner-theater version of Harry from "Dumb and Dumber." And, when he gets his comeuppance, he throws a hissy fit/tantrum that's avert-your-eyes embarrassing. Villains conduct themselves with more dignity when their evil plans are undone by those meddling kids on "Scooby-Doo."
The script is writer Melissa Stack's first produced screenplay, and her few good lines and interesting insights either get stepped on or lost in the supposed hilarity.
It's saying something when Kate's hunky contractor brother ("Chicago Fire's" Taylor Kinney), a fantasy creation that feels as though it were concocted during the dying days of "Sex and the City," is the movie's most relatable character.
Following "Draft Day" and "Transcendence," "The Other Woman" marks the third straight weekend with a major release written by a first-timer. Judging from these three, there's something to be said for experience.
Then again, Cassavetes has plenty of it, and he has almost no idea what to make of that script.
Songs are piled on top of songs. A scene where Carly and Kate spy on Mark is set to the theme from "Mission: Impossible." To signal a transition from the Bahamas, where the trio scurry around a resort's swimming pool with binoculars, to New York, it isn't enough to show the city's unmistakable skyline. "The Other Woman" beats you over the head with Frank Sinatra's "New York, New York." Several times, apparently unaware of what to do with a scene, Cassavetes just pumps up some music to drown out the dialogue.
"The Other Woman" feels like the sort of movie that may go down better with your girlfriends and a bottle (or seven) of wine.
But if that's not an option, just bring along your iPod and shove in your earbuds whenever things get bad.
That couldn't possibly feel any more out of place than some of Cassavetes' choices.

Summary: If you are a Call of Duty Elite premium member, you already have access to the content in this Content Collection. Redeploying with an arsenal of content unlike any in franchise history, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3's first downloadable "Collection" arrives stockpiled with not only four Multiplayer/Survival Mode Maps, but two Special Ops Missions-the first time Call of Duty has ever made Special Ops downloadable online. Armed with just this one content pack, players can choose between heading to a militarized Central Park in "Liberation," destroying scenic vistas in a seaside Italian getaway in "Piazza," raining glass on New York passersby from 70-stories-up in "Overwatch," and battling beside a downed Air Force One in "Black Box." As if that breadth of multiplayer variety wasn't enough, fans of Special Ops can hop aboard snowmobiles to infiltrate a diamond mine in "Black Ice" or head to India, where "Negotiator" will leave the fate of hostages in their hands. In a class of its own with half-a-dozen forms of content, Modern Warfare 3's first downloadable "Collection" offers a range of combat and co-op the likes of which has never been seen before. After this download is complete, please download the accompanying Collection 1 maps from the in-game STORE option in the MULTIPLAYER menu.

Hornets Fire Monty Williams
Nov 21st, 2012 10:30 PM EDT
The New Orleans Hornets have fired Monty Williams after a 0-10 start.
Williams had just signed a new four year extension this offseason after coaching the Hornets
for the past two seasons, but sources reveal that new owner Tom Benson "was sick of the
losing" and requested new leadership along the sidelines.
Assistant GM Percy Barber was named interim head coach.
Williams was hired as the Hornets head coach back in the summer of 2010 to replace the
fired Byron Scott and interim head coach Jeff Bower, he previously spent five seasons
as an assistant with the Trail Blazers.
As the Hornets head man, Williams has a coaching record of 67-91 in two plus seasons.

Those arm blades are going to be removable/replaceable with some well placed rare earth magnets once I get my hands on her. Same technique will probably go into her shoulder "wings". I'm stoked about this line. I'm thinking I'm going to return some of the DOTM randoms I picked up even though I was second guessing them. Can't wait to take pics of my own tomorrow.

Copyright As Censorship Again: Game Developer Takes Down Scathing YouTube Review
from the and-all-hell-breaks-loose dept
But, from there, TotalBiscuit's video gets even more impressive. He doesn't just Streisand Effect Wild Games Studio, calling more attention to the content that the company tried to censor, but he digs into a bunch of other shady practices by the company, including (badly) astroturfing reviews, and accusations that they tried to pump up their Kickstarter campaign (for the same game) by (1) having the CEO of the company pledge $10,000 upfront, and (2) having others pledge high amounts and withdraw them later (suggesting that it was just to make it look like there was momentum for the campaign).
TotalBiscuit doesn't stop there. Next up he calls out YouTube for having a system like this, where censorship can occur so easily based on wholly bogus copyright claims. He points out that YouTube needs to do more to not allow these kinds of things to happen. Of course, YouTube is in a tough spot, seeing as they're also getting slammed by the legacy entertainment industry for not making it even easier to block content on the site.
Finally, he promises that any ad revenue earned from both the video above and the original one that was taken down, will be donated to the EFF, because the EFF remains awesome and continues to fight against such abuse.
After all of this, Wild Games Studio's "Stephane" says that "after seeing all the negative impact today we decided to withdraw our complaint to YouTube." That's an incredibly weak response. It's the equivalent of "if you were offended, I apologize." It's not taking responsibility for the blatant censorship or other abusive behaviors.
And yet there are still some people out there who insist that copyright is never used to censor.

text: I just installed the Debian multiserver setup after prepping 8 servers with the first six steps of the recommended Perfect Server setup. During this, I didn't see anything about virtual servers. Having used multiple instances of Apache on a machine before, each listening on one of multiple addresses assigned to one NIC, I figured ISPConfig 3 probably used something similar. After a thorough reading of the ISPConfig 3 manual, it looks to me like I will have to redo the 4 web servers instead and use this - - http://www.howtoforge.com/installing-openvz-plus-management-of-vms-through-ispconfig-3-debian-6.0 - - instead of the some of the multiserver setup. Is this correct, and if so where within the webserver install would I start? Debian 6.0.5 64Bit ISPConfig 184.108.40.206

CBJ Report: Mike Lake
The YTD report will follow this I am asking Karrin to send it directly from the office. No action needs to be taken, it is FYI. I will also be following up with a report that takes a closer look at these numbers. I will also bring you up to date on the web based continuing education and MCBJ testing programs.
The following updated YTD judging classes report was sent to BOD: 63 classes - 2,838 Students - 847 KCBS Members - 1,974 New Members - 15 Media Comps.
Program Committee Report: Mike Budai
Work on KCBScore is progressing. The 1st draft of the program should be ready for the committee to review this week. Work on the KCBS database interface to KCBScore is underway. Once any changes the committee determines are necessary have been completed, we will be able to start the testing phase.
Once we start deploying KCBScore, due to the anticipated overlap with BQWin, it may become necessary to temporarily take down the TOY calculator on the KCBS website and put up a message that we are switching over to the new program. This is to insure the accuracy of the reported points during the transition.
Rules Committee Report: Randy Bigler
The Rules committee would like to make a motion to send an email blast to all KCBS members of the schedule of meetings that will be happening at the Annual Banquet. The schedule was not in the December Bullsheet.
I have attached the revised comment card for you to look at and discuss. We had discussed this action in October and I don't think we need a motion to revise it. But if we do I make a motion to do so.

Rep Committee: Mark Simmons & Randy Bigler
The contest rep chair, co-chair, rep committee and BOD extends to all the friends and family of Jim Monihan our deepest sympathy and condolences for his recent sudden passing. He will be greatly missed and warmly remembered as one of our outstanding KCBS contest representatives.
I propose that the Nominees questions/answers and photos be posted on a web page on the KCBS.us site during the election period. A link to that page could be used along with member election notice e-blasts.
I would also like to discuss the banner that is hung by the reps at contest for turn-in location.
Education Committee: Paul Kirk
No Report for December.
Philanthropy Committee: Arlie Bragg
Preparing to run the applications in the Bullsheet for all Grants and Grants in Aid. Motion to email blast all members about the Grants and Grants in Aid. Also request that we receive a foundation report.
Membership Report: Gene Goycochea

President's End-of-Year Items for Resolution:
I thoroughly reviewed minutes of past meetings and made note of the following issues that have not been resolved over the course of the year.
Motions are proposed to get the discussion flowing. These three motions by no means cover all the issues dangling from this year.
January -- ToY identification method, hopefully finalized 12/14
I move that we identify barbeque cook teams for Team of the Year purposes by a single chief cook member number filed with the KCBS office at the start of the cook year. That chief cook must be present at a contest for that team to receive points for ToY. In the event of the chief cook not being present at a particular contest, that chief cook must present a valid reason (illness, family issue) to the Rules Committee for ruling as to whether the reason justifies awarding ToY points to the team.
February -- Opt Out option for members removal from eblasts
March -- Opt Out tabled to April. Lifetime membership logo tabled until April.
I move that KCBS sponsor member contests for art relating to a pen design for 4-1st places at a single contest, a logo for MCBJs who reach 100+ contests judged and a logo for KCBS Pit Master program.
April -- March tabled not handled
May -- Consequences of April motion to discontinue tracking state championships for the invitational major contests. Organizers need to be contacted. Pen design for teams who finish first in all four categories at one contest.
June -- none
July -- e-blast matters regarding costs, availability for contest promotions arise.
I move that we immediately set up procedures for KCBS members to opt out of e-blasts. I further move that we establish a means and price structure for contest organizers to use KCBS member e-blasts to promote contests in a 500 mile radius (or more) around their contest.
August -- none
September -- KCBS charitable foundation. Logo for 100+ contest CBJs. Community disaster and relief fund. KCBS Pit Master. Formalizing turn in table procedures. Grievance panel issues.
October -- Tabled philanthropy report. Findings on prepping 2nd truck/trailer for 2012 use.
November -- Rework of regional board representation addendum to Bylaws for vote of members in January 2012. Budget for 2nd truck/trailer. International Initiative guidelines. ToY team identification method.
Old Business:
Don Harwell: I motion that the following be added to the January 2012 BOD general election:
Membership to vote for:
Vote 1: Adding to the bylaws that: A Member of the Corporation is not eligible to seek election for Director of the Corporation if the member shares a physical address with any current Director of the Corporation.
Vote 2: Adding to the bylaws that 6 directors of the BOD will be from six regions and that the attached document be accepted as the regional breakout of the six regions to be placed on January 2012 BOD general election.
Vote 3: Changing the following sentence in the bylaws to read: .... the Directors be limited to two consecutive three-year terms, after which one year a three (3) year period must lapse before a Member is eligible for another term(s).
Candy Weaver: Per motion made and unanimously passed on March 9, 2011, committee chair persons must submit to the Board all members serving on their respective committees. The executive director and the president are de facto members of every committee and must be informed of every committee meeting.
New Business:
Candy Weaver: Review and approval of proposed rules for Sam's Club BBQ Tournament send to the board on 12/11/2011.
Candy Weaver: I move that each committee chair person has the absolute freedom at any time to choose any KCBS member in good standing to serve (or not serve) on their particular committee. The Board may not force any committee chair person to add a member to any committee by motion or any other method.
Randy Bigler: I propose that the Nominees questions/answers and photos be posted on a web page on the KCBS.us site during the election period. A link to that page could be used along with member election notice e-blasts.
Randy Bigler: I would also like to discuss the banner that is hung by the reps at contest for turn-in location.

Carolina and TB losing (especially TB, lol, how silly) makes this much easier to stomach. The Rams did not look as raw as they had in the past, though, and will be a good test of whether we improve from today.
Good thing the first game is the least important of the year. Let's work on looking our best late in the year.
Pressure on Matt really kept us from getting any rhythm. Crazy thing is, if JJ had not suffered that drop, we might just have been looking at a blowout.

MALDEF Suit Seeks Reforms of Practices that Created Hostile Learning Environment and Deprived Student of Equal Opportunity
LOS ANGELES, CA – When Diana Aviles received her crying daughter's phone call last year, she couldn't believe what she heard - - her daughter had just suffered public harassment and racial discrimination by a teacher at Big Bear Middle School. Following the incident, school administrators allowed the student to spend the class period picking up trash outside with the custodian, rather than learning inside with her classmates. Despite repeated efforts by Mrs. Aviles to work with the school, the Bear Valley Unified School District, the district's Board of Trustees and other named defendants have refused to address the violation of federal and state civil rights laws suffered by the then middle-school student.
Yesterday, on behalf of the student minor, MALDEF filed suit in the U.S. District Court of the Central District of California, charging that defendants have violated the Civil Rights Act of 1964, 42 U.S.C. § 1983, and the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment.
Announcing the lawsuit at a press conference held today at MALDEF National Headquarters, MALDEF President and General Counsel Thomas A. Saenz stated, "Our current national environment seems to condone increasingly open and undeserved hostility toward Latino immigrants. We must draw the line at the schoolhouse door; every child deserves the opportunity to learn, free of discriminatory practices and statements from those running the schools. The district's inaction was wholly inadequate in response to a teacher's verbal assault on a child. This lawsuit serves as a warning to any teacher with similar views to keep those views out of the classroom and to serve all children -- as the vast, vast majority of educators do on a daily basis."
MALDEF's lawsuit addresses the right of all students to an education free of unjustified and unlawful discrimination on the basis of race, national origin and actual or perceived immigration status. With this lawsuit, MALDEF seeks to demonstrate to this school district, as well as other districts, schools, and educators, that permitting a hostile educational environment violates the basic right to an education.
The young plaintiff provided the following statement: "Last year, during the World Cup I wore a 'Mexico' soccer jersey to school. I walked into my performing arts class, and my teacher asked me in front of the class if I was Mexican. I responded 'yes.' She then asked me in a loud voice: what was I doing in her country? She said that it was because of people like me that she had to pay high taxes and high insurance rates. I tried to speak with the principal about it. When I returned, the teacher asked me to leave the classroom because I was crying so much. I never expected to be treated so badly because of who I am."
The plaintiff's mother, Diana Aviles, added, "My daughter did nothing to deserve the discriminatory harassment by her teacher. I taught my daughter to acknowledge and to be proud of her family's heritage because that is the American way for all people. When I learned that she spent her class period picking up trash when she was supposed to get an education, I was outraged. I have asked for answers from my daughter's principal, teacher, school administrators and the school board, but they have completely ignored me. My daughter continues to suffer. I decided to file this lawsuit in the hope that no other child or parent will have to endure this."
Nancy Ramirez, MALDEF Western Regional Counsel and lead attorney on this case, stated that "The school district's failure to respond in a meaningful way to address race discrimination in its school is an abdication of its responsibility. The district unlawfully discriminated against a young student and deprived her of the benefit of a public education by violating her Fourteenth Amendment constitutional rights and her federal and state civil rights. The District has a duty to provide an educational environment free from racial discrimination, harassment and intimidation, and when it fails to do so, the courts will hold it accountable."
Named defendants include the Bear Valley Unified School District, the Bear Valley Unified School District Board of Trustees, the district's interim superintendent Dr. Kegham Tashjian, the principal of Big Bear Middle School Julie Chamberlin, and the plaintiff's former teacher Suzy Carpenter.

Spending the next few weeks in Washington State to climb mountains, run beautiful trails, and DRINK GOOD COFFEE! :) Ahh, yes... one of the things I love about WA is all the little drive-through espresso stands in the tiniest of towns. This is the bridge crossing the mouth of the Columbia River near Astoria, Oregon. And below is the quaint town of Astoria with the same bridge in the background:
And THIS is the Astoria Column , the top of which can be reached by climbing a circular staircase of 164 steps. Kind of reminded me of climbing the Leaning Tower of Pisa as a child... only this one was skinnier... and not leaning. The exterior artwork was pretty cool.
An interesting factoid: this is the area where Lewis & Clark wintered upon finally reaching the Pacific Ocean. The NPS has erected a "replica" of their fort on, or at least very near, the actual site, as well as a visitors' center, etc.

Only a handful of days into his new job, Dick Parsons was confident of at least one thing. The Clippers would eventually get new owners.
"My personal belief is that the league will prevail, which means that there will be an ownership change," Parsons said Monday at his introductory news conference as the Clippers' interim chief executive.
"That's a personal belief based on having not only looked at the docs but looked [NBA Commissioner] Adam Silver in the eye and seen the determination. And my goodness, I mean, there's so much momentum for doing the right thing and so much support for doing the right thing that at the end of the day, I believe ownership will change."
Parsons was selected Friday by the NBA to steer the Clippers amid the lifetime ban of owner Donald Sterling and the desire of his wife and co-owner, Shelly, to retain control of the franchise.
An eventual vote of the 30 NBA owners is expected to force Sterling to sell, but he could sue to keep the team he has owned for 33 years.
"I think a prolonged legal battle is in no one's interest," Parsons said at Staples Center. "Literally. No one. Certainly not the league interest. It's going to keep the media circus going, which may be good for the media but not good for the team, not good for the franchise and I don't think good ... not to over-exaggerate, but for the perception of our country. And I don't think it's good for the Sterlings."
Parsons started meeting with "beleaguered" Clippers staffers in an attempt to curb turmoil at the top that "leaks down," Parsons said. His next step will be meeting with players.
The Clippers flew to Oklahoma City on Monday in advance of their playoff game Tuesday. Parsons will not be with the team there because his wife is undergoing a medical procedure Tuesday. Parsons did not know whether he would attend the following playoff game Thursday at Staples Center.
He expressed confidence that Clippers players would not try to get out of their contracts if the Sterlings remained owners in the short term. Star point guard Chris Paul is under contract for four more years and $88.7 million. Blake Griffin, the team's other star, has four more years for $77.9 million on his contract.
"I think that the actions that the league has taken already, the clarity and the swiftness with which they've taken those actions has kind of tamped down this notion that people want to say, 'Look, all bets are off, I don't want to play for this team, I don't want to be with this league,' " Parsons said. "I think people have seen that the commissioner and the league are lined up in the right place and intending to do the right thing."
Clippers Coach Doc Rivers has been praised by players for handling the team since Donald Sterling's racially charged audio recording surfaced more than two weeks ago.
Rivers, though, has not publicly said he would return to the Clippers. He has two more years remaining on a three-year, $21-million contract he signed last summer. Rivers is also an executive with the team on the basketball side.
"I have no reason whatsoever to think Doc has got anything in his mind than sort of finishing this out and staying with this team that is moving in a space, really, where I think it's going to become America's team if we get this right," Parsons said. "Americans love a story where somebody gets knocked down, then they get back up, they get back in the ring, they show they have good character. This team also happens to have talent.
"I think there's huge opportunity here. I think Doc sees it. I hope you all see it and I hope we can realize it."
Parsons was formerly the chairman of Time Warner and also Citigroup. He has served on President Obama's economic advisory team. He said the Clippers' situation reminded him of the Chinese symbol for crisis, which included components of danger and also opportunity.
Parsons has not spoken yet with Shelly Sterling but envisions it eventually happening. He said he would not speak with Donald Sterling, citing Sterling's lifelong ban from all NBA activities.
Parsons had not seen the entire interview Sterling granted CNN's Anderson Cooper but was surprised it took Sterling so long to apologize for his racially insensitive remarks.
"I would observe as most Americans I think observe that he's a little late for sure," Parsons said. "But beyond that, I'm here to help turn one of the burners off under the pot, not to turn it up higher."
Parsons did not give a timetable for how long he would be with the Clippers but he was certain it would continue into July, when the NBA's free-agency period begins. Prominent agents have told The Times that players would not be interested in joining the Clippers if the Sterlings still owned the team at that time.
Parsons was surprised that Sterling criticized Magic Johnson in the CNN interview. Sterling said Johnson had not done "everything he could do to help minorities."
That view wasn't congruent with "the Magic I know," Parsons said, adding that Johnson had done a lot of work with minority communities.
Parsons said he was familiar with the NBA and Silver because Time Warner had an ownership stake in the Atlanta Hawks when Parsons worked there.

ETSU alum John Weddle reflects on the capture of
Maersk Alabama and his decision to join the Naval Forces
JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (April 28, 2009) - As former ETSU baseball player John Weddle read and watched news accounts regarding the attempted capture of the Maersk Alabama off the coast of Somalia and the subsequent standoff between outlaw pirates and the United States armed forces, he was proud to see that the U.S. Navy SEALs were the military unit that ultimately brought an end to the standoff.
The reason for his piqued interest was simple - Weddle is on a mission himself to join their ranks.
It was three simultaneous shots from the rifles of highly trained SEAL snipers that brought down three pirates who were holding Richard Phillips, the Maersk Alabama captain, hostage on a small lifeboat that was held adrift by the USS Bainbridge. Those special operations soldiers that carried out this daring mission went through grueling training to become members of the prestigious SEAL unit, and Weddle has made it through the highly competitive selection process and is now preparing himself for Navy Basic.
"It made me realize that this stuff happens more often than I realize for the Navy SEALS and that only some things are put into the public light," Weddle said. "The naval warfare handled it very professionally and it was successful."
Weddle admired the Naval Forces for their heroism during the Maersk Alabama incident as it increased his confirmation of joining the Naval Forces in November of 2008. With only 31 more days left until his deployment to Navy Basic, Weddle is feeling more eager than ever while watching these heroes save lives.
In the past five months, he has been training vigorously to be in the best physical and mental state upon entry in the Naval SEAL School so that he can be ready for any given task. The daily four hours of required exercise does not bother Weddle because he knows that his training is going towards his goal of becoming a military hero.
The obligation to discipline both his mind and body for a greater good is nothing new for Weddle. He had always pushed himself in the classroom and on the baseball field at ETSU to better himself and others around him. Throughout his career at ETSU, Weddle never let his dream of joining the Navy SEALS disappear and it was his experience as a collegiate athlete that would assure his decision to enlist.
"My experience with athletics at ETSU pushed me in the direction of the Navy because of the values like discipline and being part of a small unit team," Weddle said.
ETSU Head Strength and Conditioning Coach Lee Morrow commended Weddle for his work ethic ever since he attended ETSU and still admires his strength and discipline. After hearing about the attempted capture of Maersk Alabama, Weddle immediately came to Morrow's mind and he knew that the incident would only add fuel to Weddle's fire of excitement in joining the Navy SEALS.
"He's always working hard and is extremely intense in his training," Morrow said. "He is a very special person and I know he is going to do great as a Navy SEAL one day."
After witnessing the reality of the Naval Forces fulfilling their duty of protecting the lives of civilians and being such a distinguished force in the military, Weddle cannot wait to become a member of the world's most elite team that values discipline, unity and leadership.
Weddle leaves for Navy Basic training in Great Lakes, Ill. on May 28th. He will spend nine weeks in basic training followed by Basic Underwater Demolition/SEAL Prep for 8-12 weeks and BUD/S training for seven months in

Bruins have work to do after 49-26 Holiday Bowl loss to Baylor
- Image 1 of 2
- Image 2 of 2
SAN DIEGO – The UCLA Bruins won nine games in Jim Mora's first season as head coach.
It was a nice accomplishment, but losing their last three games left the Bruins realizing how much work they have to do.
Glasco Martin ran for three touchdowns, Nick Florence threw for two scores and ran for another, and Baylor overwhelmed No. 17 UCLA 49-26 in the Holiday Bowl on Thursday night.
Lache Seastrunk rushed 16 times for 138 yards and one score for Baylor, which outgained UCLA (9-5) 494-362. The Bears came in leading the nation in total offense with 578.8 yards per game.
"We've got a long way to go, and we know that," Mora said. "But we're on the right path. Tonight showed us how far we have to go but we're determined to get there and we're heading in the right direction. But we're a long ways off. We will fight our tails off to get there."
Florence completed 10 of 13 passes for 188 yards, giving him 4,309 for the season to break Robert Griffin III's school season record of 4,293 set in 2011.
Baylor's defense came up big, too. The Bears sacked Brett Hundley six times, including two by Chris McAllister, and shut down UCLA's career rushing leader Johnathan Franklin. Franklin, who averaged 130.8 yards this season, gained 12 yards on his first carry of the game but was a non-factor after that, finishing with just 34 yards on 14 carries.
"They played well up front," Mora said. "When we are at our best is when we can run the football. We couldn't find any room to run the football. They played physical."
Baylor (8-5) won its final four games and five of six.
Hundley was 26 of 50 for 329 yards and three touchdowns to set UCLA's season passing record with 3,740 yards. The old record was 3,470 by Cade McNown in 1998.
The Bruins were never in this one. Baylor raced to a 21-0 lead by early in the second quarter on Martin's 4-yard run and Florence's TD passes of 8 yards to Antwan Goodley and 55 yards to Tevin Reese.
UCLA punted four times and lost the ball on downs before getting a break when Baylor's Jordan Navjar fumbled after a reception when he was hit by Eric Kendricks, with Randal Goforth recovering at the Bears 21. Two plays later, Joseph Fauria caught a 22-yard pass from Hundley to pull the Bruins to 21-7.
Baylor quickly added two more touchdowns to put it out of reach at 35-7. Martin burst up the middle for his second touchdown run of the game, a 26-yarder, and, after UCLA punted yet again, Seastrunk broke free for a 43-yard touchdown run with 1:58 left before halftime.
UCLA then converted two fourth downs, including a fake punt, to move to the Baylor 12 with 7 seconds left. On fourth-and-10, Mora opted to go for a field goal and Ka'imi Fairbairn converted from 30 yards.
Martin added a 1-yard TD run in the third quarter and Florence had a 1-yard scoring run in the fourth.
Martin had 98 yards on 21 carries.
Hundley threw a 24-yard touchdown pass to Shaq Evans early in the fourth quarter and a 34-yarder to Logan Sweet as the game ended.

What's your budget? Blichmann products are all really well made and there is something in every price range.
Last year we did a "Brewer for a Day" which I'm thinking of repeating because it was so much fun.I'm just wondering if anyone can think outside of the box and offer up any suggestions that they may have?
Give him a challenge. Give him a box with some random ingredients and a gift certificate to the LHBS or Northern Brewer and tell him to make a brew with what's in the box. Offer to be his assistant brewer for the day, too.
I'd be pleased with a sack of malt. Or a custom gold-plated tap handle.
