Modern Thought-Leadership: It doesn't happen overnight
With the ever-expanding world of social media marketing influence, the concept of the modern day "thought-leader" has not only experienced resurgence, it has also enjoyed an expanded application of what thought-leadership is and can be. Just last week, I had the opportunity to work with the awesome team at Prezi to create a kind of journey for modern day thought-leader. Out of this research developed a pathway and three key, absolute must-have drivers:
Passion and Drive
A characteristic all thought-leaders share. Not only do they have a new idea or way of thinking about something, but they all also possess an avalanche-like drive to share this idea with the masses. It is what keeps them awake at night, which makes them attend every conference, present at every forum, and write every blog post. You must have a passion for the subject matter. Want some inspiration? Check out any TEDtalk.
Innovative Use of Tools
Every influencer/thought-leader I've ever run across from Deepak Chopra to Guy Kawasaki have all utilized creative ways to spread their knowledge with new audiences. This is now easier than ever in that anyone with an imagination and access to the web can find an audience. Social media outlets provide ever-inventive opportunities for infinite sharing and connection.
Care about the Audience
Yes, meeting your audience face-to-face after a presentation matters, book signings matter, interactive Q&A sessions matter. In other words, the audience matters (A LOT). The most successful thought-leaders realize this fact and take great care to not only reach out to but also elicit feedback from their audiences.
These three points just begin to scratch the surface of the path to thought-leadership but, truthfully influencers and innovators can come from anywhere…so, STAY MOTIVATED AND SHARE YOUR IDEAS! (also, checking out some of the steps summarized in the thought-leadership Prezi won't hurt either.
What does modern-day thought-leadership mean to you? How are you spreading your ideas?

Your 2013 tax bill probably rose; here's why
Whether you filed your taxes months ago or are just finished your return, millions of Americans saw their 2013 tax bills go up.
The "fiscal cliff" deal that Congress hammered out at the beginning of 2013 seems like ancient history, but it's only now having an impact on the tax returns that are due this Tuesday. The deal prevented what could have been a much more extensive rise in taxes for every taxpayer in the nation. Although the compromise extended many of the tax cuts that had been slated to expire, it still allowed rates to rise in a number of critical areas.
Higher payroll taxes
Under the deal, nearly every wage-earner saw a rise in the taxes that are taken directly out of workers' paychecks. The law allowed the payroll tax cut that had been available since 2011 to expire, and so workers started having an extra 2% of their paychecks go toward Social Security taxes as of the beginning of last year.
For a typical household, the tax-rate rise amounted to about $1,000 in extra taxes. With the maximum Social Security wage base of $113,700 for 2013, however, the higher payroll taxes cost some joint-filing couples as much as $4,548.
Higher taxes for high-income taxpayers
Lawmakers agreed to impose higher marginal tax rates for high-income earners, with the key income levels being $400,000 for single filers and $450,000 for joint returns. Above those levels, the current 35% rate went back to its previous level of 39.6%.
On the investing front, the maximum tax rates on dividends and capital gains rose to 20%. However, those under the $400,000 or $450,000 limits continued to pay a maximum of just 15%, while previously existing 0% rates for those in the 10% and 15% ordinary income-tax brackets were extended.
In addition, high-income earners paid some brand-new taxes on their 2013 returns. Single filers earning more than $200,000 and joint filers with income over $250,000 could be subject to these two new taxes.
With one tax, if your earned income was above the threshold, then you owed an extra 0.9% of your earnings in Medicare withholding. In some cases, this additional money may already have been taken directly out of your paycheck, although for joint filers, your employer might not have been able to do so accurately because it didn't know what your spouse earns in order to get the calculation correct.
The second tax applied to investment income, including interest, dividends, and capital gains. For this income, you owed an extra tax of 3.8% for any amount that exceeds the threshold. The idea behind this part of the new tax is to treat investment income for high-income earners the same way as earned income, making both types of income subject to the same higher Medicare tax rate.
Other tax increases
Less obvious but still important is the return of provisions that reduce the amount of personal exemptions and itemized deductions that high-income taxpayers are eligible to take. The provisions target two areas: personal exemptions and itemized deductions.
One rule, known as the PEP, reduced the value of your personal exemptions by 2% for every $2,500 in additional income you earn over thresholds of $250,000 for singles and $300,000 for joint filers. The other rule, called the Pease phaseout, cut the amount you can claim in itemized deductions by 3% of the amount of additional income you earn over those same thresholds, subject to a maximum reduction of 80% of your itemized deductions. Those calculations are a bit complicated, but the net result is that you could have ended up paying thousands of extra dollars in taxes by losing the value of those deductions.
But one key tax benefit from the bill was the permanent extension of alternative minimum tax relief. By raising the AMT exemption and indexing it to inflation automatically going forward, taxpayers didn't have to worry at the end of 2013 about whether the AMT would hit them at the last minute. The measure was especially useful for upper-middle-income taxpayers in high-tax states, as they were the most likely to get snagged by the tax.
Outside the income-tax context, estate taxes also rose somewhat, as the top rate went from 35% to 40%. The exemption amount remained at $5 million, with inflation adjustments making the 2013 exemption amount $5.25 million and the 2014 amount $5.34 million.
Dealing with higher taxes
These tax increases make it more important than ever to make smart decisions to cut your tax bill. Although no similarly major tax increases took effect at the beginning of 2014, it's still possible that further reforms will make taxes even more complex in the years to come.

Moving Beyond BYOD: Connecting the 'Anytime, Anywhere' Workforce
With more than seven billion souls set to tote 10 billion mobile-connected devices by 2016, mobility has not just arrived, it's taken over our schools, businesses and personal lives.
Just ask Mitch Davis, the CIO of Bowdoin College, a private liberal arts college in Maine. Before BYOD ever became a global IT trend, according to Mitch, the vast majority of college students were already bringing their personal devices into the campus environment.
These co-eds expected Bowdoin to fully embrace personal mobility, and, upon graduation, these same post-grads expect that their employers will do the same (this year's Connected World Technology Report findings back this up, with more than 40 percent of recent college graduates/Gen Y employees choosing BYOD flexibility over higher pay).
Bottom line, the rules of the game are changing, and companies must move beyond basic BYOD connectivity to meet employee demands today and tomorrow. To help companies meet these demands, we've introduced a comprehensive approach that unifies policy, supports a better user experience and simplifies management to deliver an uncompromised user experience in any workspace. After all, Cisco wants to empower IT managers to allow employees to have their devices and use them too. That means delivering:
- A unified security policy across the whole organization – wired, wireless, VPN and now MDM – helping companies set and enforce policies;
- An uncompromised user experience over the entire wired/wireless network, across any type of device; and,
- Simplified operations and network management to understand application performance from a user's perspective, accelerating troubleshooting and lowering operating costs.
Like Ray-Ban aviators, BYOD is here to stay. And done the right way, BYOD demands a comprehensive approach to allow current and future employees to work how they want, when and where they want, and on the devices they want – while still allowing IT the control and visibility to sleep at night.
Learn more about our announcement and new technologies here.
By the way, whether you're a college student or have been working for 30 years, you're eligible to take the BYOD Challenge and win a trip to 2012 London Olympics – good luck!

Mayor's Office
The Lincoln-Lancaster County Health Department (LLCHD) today issued a Health Advisory for people with asthma, other respiratory conditions or heart disease due to high levels of smoke from fireworks.
In recent years, LLCHD has found high levels of particulate air pollution from the night of July 3 through the morning of July 5, resulting in the Air Quality Index level of "Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups." Fireworks may be used in the City of Lincoln from 8 a.m. to 11 p.m. July 3 and 8 a.m. to 11:59 p.m. July 4.
"It is very likely that there will be high concentrations of fine particle pollution due to fireworks," said Chris Schroeder, LLCHD Air Quality Program Supervisor. "Those most affected are the young, the elderly, and those sensitive individuals with respiratory conditions."
Schroeder said fine particle pollution is so small that it can get deep into the lungs and enter the blood stream, causing serious health problems. He said most people will not be affected, but warned that even a few hours of exposure to high levels of particles can aggravate lung disease, cause asthma attacks and acute bronchitis, and may increase the chances of respiratory infection. For people with heart disease, short-term exposures to high levels of particle pollution have been linked to angina, heart attacks and arrhythmia.
Schroeder said those at risk should avoid extensive physical activity outdoors or remain indoors with windows and doors closed. Those who experience health effects are encouraged to consult their doctor.

Tottenham manager Andre Villas-Boas is not planning a spending spree in January
Andre Villas-Boas is not planning any big spending in the January transfer window as key Spurs players close on fitness.
Last Updated: 03/12/12 10:22am
Spurs enjoyed three successive wins last week to lift them fourth in the Premier League and Villas-Boas is satisfied with the players at his disposal.
The North Londoners have been linked with several transfer targets, including Shakhtar Donetsk ace Willian and Schalke forward Klaas-Jan Huntelaar, but the manager has played down talk of a spending spree.
The Portuguese boss also feels the return of Younes Kaboul, Benoit Assou-Ekotto and Scott Parker will provide a boost to the team.
Asked if he would be asking Spurs chairman Daniel Levy for cash in January, Villas-Boas said: "I don't think we need it, to be fair.
"We have three top players coming back from injury that played most of the games last season - Younes Kabul, Benoit Assou-Ekotto and Scott Parker.
"These will be major additions to our squad and we are happy to continue with this squad."
Villas-Boas has received a mixed reception at White Hart Lane since succeeding Harry Redknapp in the summer, but some fans were singing his name during Spurs' 3-0 win at Fulham on Saturday.
He added: "The chanting is normal. We just have to continue so they do not change the chant!
"I just want them to get behind the team, it's the team that has been absolutely amazing."

First Emergency Room for Seniors in the County
Rockledge, FL (March 12, 2014) – Health First Holmes Regional Medical Center is pleased to announce the opening of an emergency room to accommodate Brevard's County growing number of senior citizens. The new space is designed for and dedicated to seniors. The 12 beds feature brightly-colored rooms, non-slip mats under the beds, thicker mattresses and pads, bigger clocks, magnifying glasses, hearing aids, bigger TV's and more. This is the first Senior ER in Brevard County—and only the second one in the State of Florida.
The Senior ER at Health First Holmes opened in February and has seen and treated more than 500 patients so far. "An emergency room experience for someone older can be confusing and disorienting," said Health First Holmes Regional Medical Center President Sean Gregory. "Seniors need a calm, quiet space with staff trained in geriatrics providing care in an elder friendly environment where the pace is slower so they can be comfortable enough to tell their story at their own pace."
Patients who enter the emergency room go through a screening process to see if the Senior Emergency Room is right for them. That includes assessments for dementia, fall risk, nutrition, medication and depression.
Here are some additional interesting facts:
About Health First

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama lambasted Republicans for promoting "irresponsible" policies in their Pledge to America Monday, and defended his administration's moves to reduce the deficit and improve the lives of regular citizens.
"What I'm seeing out of the Republican leadership over the last several years has been a set of policies that are just irresponsible, and we saw in their Pledge to America a similar set of irresponsible policies," the president told TODAY's Matt Lauer in the Green Room of the White House during a 30-minute interview.
The so-called Pledge to America, unveiled by House Republicans last week, promises to cut taxes, reduce federal spending to 2008 levels, repeal Obama's health care reform law and end government control of mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. It also promises to cut down on government regulation and end Obama's stimulus program.

"They propose $4 trillion worth of tax cuts and $16 billion in spending cuts and then they say we're going to magically balance the budget," Obama said during the 30-minute interview. "That's not a serious approach."
Contrast between philosophies
The Republican plan is short on specifics but shows the stark contrast between the philosophies of the two parties weeks ahead of key midterm elections where Republicans are forecast to make big gains and potentially win back the House of Representatives.
"The new agenda embodies Americans' rejection of the notion that we can simply tax, borrow and spend our way to prosperity," one of its authors, California Rep. Kevin McCarthy, said Saturday. "It offers a new way forward that hasn't been tried in Washington — an approach focused on cutting spending — which is sadly a new idea for a Congress accustomed to always accelerating it."

- 'Gifted' priest indicted in crystal meth case
- China's state media admits to air pollution crisis
- French to send 1,000 more troops to Mali
Perhaps the biggest difference between the two parties is on taxes, where Republicans want to extend all of George W. Bush's income tax cuts permanently — at a cost of some $4 trillion over 10 years.
Democrats are proposing to keep the rates where they are for individuals making up to $200,000 and for families earning up to $250,000 — but to hit wealthier individuals and some small businesses with tax hikes in January. Their plan would cost $3 trillion.
On hold until November
Congress is unlikely to vote on what to do with the Bush tax cuts until after November and both sides are using the disagreement as campaign fodder for the midterm elections.
David Axelrod, Obama's chief political adviser, said Sunday that Republican refusal to accept higher taxes on top-earners would hurt GOP candidates this fall. "They're going to have to explain to their constituents why they're holding up tax cuts for the middle class," Axelrod told ABC News. "And I think it's an untenable position to say, 'We're going to allow your taxes to go up on January 1st unless the president agrees to give tax cuts to millionaires and billionaires.'"
Republicans counter that any increase in tax rates would hamper a struggling economy. The GOP also says that delaying a vote until after the election just fuels feelings of economic uncertainty.
"The Democrats have failed to lead this," said McCarthy on FOX News. "They are going to want to leave the House without dealing with it. That uncertainty itself is keeping capital on the sidelines and keeping jobs from being created in America."
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Robert Fluhr, 84, a local artist and teacher who offered sculpture classes to the blind and visually impaired for more than 20 years, died June 20 of complications from renal failure and heart disease at Hahnemann Hospital.
Mr. Fluhr started his "Vision Through Art" sculpture classes for the blind at the Allens Lane Art Center in 1988. Through this program, he became an advocate for the blind and visually impaired, lecturing about the program and showing his students' work at many venues across the region and the country.
In 2009, he was awarded one of the first annual Carolyn Fiedler-Alber Awards from the Main Line Arts Center for his work with the blind.
Mr. Fluhr had been associated with the Allens Lane Art Center almost from its inception in the 1950s. Both he and his wife, Annette, had been board members at the center for many years, and Mr. Fluhr was curator of the center's art gallery.
For their volunteer work at Allens Lane, the Fluhrs received a Lifetime Achievement in the Arts Award in 2004. Mr. Fluhr's volunteer efforts also were honored by Temple University, the Unitarian Universalist Church, the United Way and other organizations.
The studio at Allens Lane in which he and his wife worked for nearly 30 years will be renamed in his honor in ceremonies this coming fall.
Born and raised in Brooklyn, N.Y., Mr. Fluhr had lived in Philadelphia for 62 years – in Germantown, East Mt. Airy and West Mt. Airy before moving to Chestnut Hill four years ago and to Center City in March.
A member of the first graduating class at Midwood High School in Brooklyn, he received bachelor's degrees in fine arts and science from the Tyler School of Art at Temple University. He also was awarded a master's degree in ceramic industrial design from Alfred University.
Mr. Fluhr taught ceramics in the Philadelphia public schools for 30 years, most of that time in the Industrial Arts Department at Northeast High School. He also taught art at the Lighthouse Settlement in Kensington and at several area art centers, including the Fleischer Art Memorial, the Cheltenham Arts Center and Allens Lane.
He was head of the art department at the Lighthouse Art and Music Camp for 25 years and stayed on in that capacity when the camp became Eagle Springs, a camp for intellectually and developmentally challenged.
Mr. Fluhr took a sabbatical year, from 1963 to 1964, to learn new ceramics techniques from a potter in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico, and from 1969-70 taught art at the Devizes School in Devizes, Wiltshire, England, after he was selected for the Fulbright Exchange Teacher Program.
He was an active member of East and West Mt. Airy Neighbors for many years and was involved in the civil rights movement during the 1950s and 1960s as a member of the Congress of Racial Equality (CORE). He was active in the C.W. Henry Home and School Association while his daughters were there and was an early member of the Weavers Way Co-op.
An accomplished artist in multiple media, Fluhr, according to his daughter Suzanne Fluhr, of Philadelphia, turned to collage when ceramics became too strenuous for him. She said her father "possessed an irreverent sense of humor that he used unsuccessfully to try to mask his compassion and generosity of time and spirit."
Elayne Bender, executive director of East Mt. Airy Neighbors, said she had known the Fluhrs since the 1970s when she had taught one of their daughters.
"Bob was not only a talented artist in several media," she said, "but a wonderful human being – a sweet and generous man hiding under a sometimes-gruff exterior."
In addition to his wife of 60 years and his daughter Suzanne, he is survived by daughters Jennifer Tumberello, of Philadelphia, and Madaline Fluhr-Resendes, of Milpitas, Calif.; and three grandchildren.
Memorial donations may be made to the Allens Lane Art Center, 601 W. Allens Lane, Philadelphia, PA 19119.

You may own a wing chair. You're probably not sure where it is because it was so uncomfortable and awkward that you've banished it to your great aunt's storage unit three states away.
Before going any further, take all of your preconceptions about wing chairs and chuck 'em as far as you can (which won't be very far because wing chairs are too cumbersome to throw well).
Now have a look at the San Luis.
First you notice the scale which is refreshingly modest in a WILLEM SMITH sort of way. Then you wonder why, to your surprise, you like this chair. Perhaps because it swoops and embraces in a slightly more groovy manner than a wing chair of yore. Somehow it seems cheeky, yet there is a respectful nod to tradition in its classic demeanor. And it's just not that big. How often do you see a wing chair in a space and think about the fellow in your fifth grade class who grew a foot and started shaving in the fourth: he was a nice kid but he loomed over the room and was a little awkward when playing with others. He was no San Luis. Finally you sit. If there was ever a poster child for vintage piErgonom sit-it-to-believe-it comfort, hello San Luis.
Well, as with every WILLEM SMITH sit, we can't hand out an Oscar for the Best Performance in a Sitting Comfort Experience award to any single contributor. Indeed it's the symbiosis of the construction integrity, the WILLEM SMITH seat cushion, the 'ah ha' kidney pillow and the thought-through height, depth and pitch that we're humbly proud of. But also appreciate the subtleties: for example, in other wing chairs, if you try to bring your arms back into a comfortable reading position, you elbows will ram into side walls of the back. Not with our San Luis, where we've scooped the sides away to deliver superior livability in addition to a more progressive profile. It's those details that are hallmarks of our thought-through, comfort-obsessed ethos. If you like the look of the San Luis, you'll love what it does for your room and your life.
All of the WILLEM SMITH pieces are meant for a lifetime. Below are some straightforward tips to help you easily preserve the beauty of your collection for years to come.
Enjoy. Host yet another three-hour dinner party in your Brisa chair. Curl up with a long novel in our Francisco. Our uncompromising attention to the construction of each piece assures your WILLEM SMITH collection will endure and endure. Our classic, clean lines and our conscientious provision of the highest quality and most appropriate materials assure your pieces will be simple to maintain.
If you have specific questions on caring for any of your WILLEM SMITH piece, please call us. We would love to hear from you.
Dust can cast a dull pallor, masking the inherent beauty of our carefully selected woods. Frequent dusting not only allows you to pass the white glove test and recoup the wood's sheen, it removes airborne pollutants which could scratch wooden surfaces. An ever so slightly dampened, clean, soft cloth is our tool or choice; it effectively removes and traps dust from becoming airborne again. Periodically, to restore the natural luster, polish wooden furniture with a lint-free cloth, working in the direction of the grains as much as possible.
We love using leather on our chairs. Nothing sits and swaddles like a well designed and built club chair in a great leather. And properly maintained, leather will last – and look terrific - four times as long as fabric.
Caring for leather is straightforward. Note that many people don't use any products on their leather: if it isn't drying out, it's happy.
*For many of our leathers we recommend a gentle widely-available leather conditioner such as Lexol. It is easily applied with a sponge followed by wiping any excess with a dry cloth a few minutes later. For a full aniline or nubuck leather only use cleaners and conditioners specifically formulated for those leathers. Note that some conditioners may slightly darken a leather's appearance, so please test any conditioner on an inconspicuous area first.
And finally, bear in mind that over time and with use your leather will develop a unique and welcoming patina, giving it a distinctive appearance and further softening as it ages. Much like all of us.
WILLEM SMITH fabrics are selected not only for their beauty but also taking into consideration the practicality of using your pieces yet keeping them beautiful. Naturally, wipe up any spills and spots as soon as you see them. Using the small attachment for your vacuum cleaner you can quickly keep your upholstered furniture clean and dust free. A steam cleaner can help provide a periodic, deeper clean. As with all valuable pieces of furniture and antiques, avoid placing them in direct sunlight or within two feet of heat sources. Sun and heat can dry out wood and finishes, crack leather and fade upholstered fabric. Of course, water can also damage wood, leather and fabric surfaces. If you have a spill, dry the area thoroughly and promptly. All-purpose cleaning sprays are not appropriate for WILLEM SMITH or other fine furniture.
We are committed to offering industry-leading quality and selection at a surprising value. Chosen for their consistency, luxurious hand and, importantly, value, WILLEM SMITH leathers have been aniline dyed, and most have received a light topcoat for depth of color and protection against the realities of life.
Certain series have a more pronounced grain while others may be typically smoother, have a glossier finish or even, hold onto your socks, appear to have a sparkly iridescence. Some of our favorites exhibit a degree of what is referred to as a pull-up burst; these wonderful hides celebrate the character marks that make each piece of furniture undeniably unique. Choose your favorite colors, and then contact us to learn about the distinctive characteristics of each collection.
You've no doubt already measured the space where you will put the piece and compared it to the dimensions on our pages about each product. Now let's make sure you can get it there.
Entryways: height and width of all areas. Take into consideration the space that the door takes up. Are there any fixtures in the way?
Entry Clearance: the distance from the wall, through the doorway to the opposite wall.
Twists and Turns: consider ceiling height (if you need to stand the sofa), lights, fans or other ceiling fixtures, banisters.
Before delivery, remove any frames or artwork from walls to avoid bumps and scratches.
Remove any potential obstacles between the door and your furniture's final placement—plants, chairs, accent tables, etc.
Please confine pets to ensure they won't be underfoot or escape out open doors.
If you live in a building with an elevator, measure the height of the door, as well as the inside space to ensure it's big enough for your furniture to travel in.
Cut out a cardboard template in the size of the new furniture or using masking tape mark off the area on your floor to help you envision how it will fit in your room.

Wall art doesn't always have to be the biggest of statements, especially if you're trying to fill a smaller space. Often times overdoing it in a tiny space, like a smaller apartment, can actually dwarf what little room you do have.

Ted Thompson, Doug Melvin, professional and fantasy General Managers alike, pay attention, because I have created a simple yet highly effective tool to help you not just succeed – but dominate – your drafts year in and year out.
It is called the "Zang Meh Doh" and it can work for you.
Zang meaning "excellent."
Meh meaning "OK."
Doh meaning "fail."
Do not be fooled by its simple nature! When wielded properly, it's extremely powerful and effective (that's what she said).
Here's how it works. Every potential draft pick is rated using a combination of two numbers formulated by your pre-draft rankings. The first number will be your Overall Valuation (OV) of the draft prospect, and second will be his Positional Valuation (PV).
To determine the Overall Valuation (OV), take your current pick, divide by the overall rank you have the player listed and then multiply by 100. Positional Valuation is done similarly. Take the number of players at his position already off the board, divide that number by you pre-draft positional ranking, and multiply by 100. Anything over 100 is considered positive (+) and under 100 is considered negative (-). The sum of these two numbers is your final Zang Meh Doh.
For the sake of argument, we'll use former Badgers' running back Montee Ball's rankings from the wonderfully extensive and incredibly affordable Cheesehead TV Draft Guide. There, Ball is listed as the 71st overall prospect and the 4th-rated Running Back. In this example, let's pretend Ball is still available for the Packers at the 88th pick but only 2 Running Backs have been selected.
The Zang Meh Doh would give you a positive outcome for the OV of +124. (88/71 x 100), but a negative outcome for the PV of -50 (2/4 x 100) – again, anything lower than 100 is negative. Let's enter those numbers in the chart and see the final grade.
As you can see, it would be a good score in the OV, meaning good value for the pick, but this is offset by the negative PV, indicating a possible reach at the position. In other words, very Meh at 74. You probably want to look elsewhere for some clear Zangs or some more-convincing Mehs.
BUT, let's say there were 5 Running Backs off the board and Ball was still there with the 88th pick. Re-entering those numbers still gives us an OV of +124 but now we can add on a positive PV of 125 (5/4 x 100). According to the chart, it's a nice ZANG pick at 249.
Kind reader or professional draft strategist, it truly is that easy. I've drafted over 100 times in fantasy sports of kinds. I was the guy who first had the color-coded draft board and or that brave innovator to only bring the single-sided 8.5 x 11 one-sheet and pen to the draft. That's because come draft time, it's all about evaluation simplification. Since you've already done the pre-draft homework, the Zang Meh Doh is the ONE tool you need come draft time.
Ted, if you want me to act as an advisor for the draft, I am more than willing but please email me ASAP as I would need to find a replacement for my weekend bowling league. I believe we can make this year's Packer draft a true Zang-Bang instead of a Meh-Fest or worst of all, a disgusting Doh-Show.
Notable ZANGs of the past include Aaron Rodgers at +2500, and at +14,950, Donald Driver is the biggest ZANG in Packers draft history. I don't generally don't like to rip on individual players, but let's just say the Vikings and the Raiders have a lot had a lot of Doh-Shows in their draft histories, respectively.

State Police are investigating the cause of the rush-hour crash on Route 24.
RANDOLPH - State Police are looking for anyone who witnessed a rush-hour crash that killed a 3-year-old girl Wednesday evening.
Police say a 2003 Chevrolet pickup truck and a 2000 Toyota Corolla crashed on the northbound side of Route 24 around 6 p.m. Wednesday, injuring the girl, who had been riding in the Toyota, and the driver of the pickup. The girl was rushed to Boston Medical Center and later died from her injuries.
State Police on Thursday morning identified the driver of the pick up as Mary B. Lynch, 50, of Hyde Park. She was taken to Beth Israel Deaconness Hospital-Milton on Wednesday night with injuries that were not considered life-threatening.
Police said there were two adults in the Toyota: The female driver, Phania P. Michel, 20, of Randolph, and the male passenger, Jeannecker N. Vertil, 35, of Randolph. State police said they were not identifying the girl because of her age.
State Police troopers from the Milton barracks were sent to the crash scene south of Route 93 just before 6 p.m. Wednesday and found the girl seriously injured, police said. Police are asking anyone who saw the crash to contact investigators at 617-740-7867.
Police said any charges would be filed once the investigation is complete.

mountaindewbass said:The warranty is great..but i dont see anything happening to the egg anytime soon. The only real advantage of the warranty is for the plate setter and fire box. Both which are pretty inexpensive to get replaced. If Sams is offering a steal of a deal..i would get it.
My base craked after 8 years. My firebox and ring have both cracked twice in 8 years. That's about $500-$600.All replaced with a few photos and 2-3 days for stuff to come in.
It would have to be dirt cheap for me to even consider.
r270ba said:
That still doesn't equal LIFETIME
I can't speak for Sam's but I believe that they have a similar policy to Costco. My medium was a gift from there after I saw it in the store(father's day). Costco offers a LIFETIME member satisfaction policy on everything they sell with the exception of certain electronic devices. In other words, I can get my money back if I am ever dissatisfied with the egg while I am a member of Costco.Charlie tuna said:
What is the price? And, what price would you pay for a lifetime warranty??
There is something to be said for having a great dealer (that used to mean something completely different) )
My guys at BBQ Outifitters are great. I just love BS ing about the egg with them and they are so in to it that it makes my egg life more fun. I'm a Sam's guy but I still wouldn't buy one there unless it were significantly cheaper
I paid $850 at Plano. Mine had the platesetter and ash tool. This one has the egg mates instead.
They get the eggs from distributors that are trying to get rid of extra stock. They are not supposed to sell to them just like costco, they cant give the warranty either. And dont have to say anything about the warrenty.okienine said:I purchased from Sams, and I contacted BGE, they will not honor the warranty when purchased from Sam's, my question is were is Sam's getting there stock if not from BGE. Warranty not a huge deal to me for the cost saving, but would of liked knowing before purchase, Sam's should make it known upfront.
Here's a wild guess from reading the warranty/registration page, and noticing that the tag at Sam's said the eggs were a "one time buy" item. It IS the distributors dumping the eggs. The reason BGE isn't offering the warranty is that the original purchaser of the egg is Sam's Club - rather than the person who buys the egg from Sam's Club.
How that's different from my purchase of the egg from Ace Hardware in Plano must be some kind of magical formula where I'm actually buying the egg from the distributor (Paragon ?). I suspect it's a licensing arrangement where the approved retailer is selling to me on behalf of the distributor.
I suppose it's a good arrangement for the distrbutor and Sam's Club However, this arrangement has got to be pulling customers away from the local egg stores, where the purchase would have otherwise happened.
That's assuming there aren't a lot of $900 impulse buys of an egg as guys walk through the pallets of rice and chicken broth.
There was a big lawsuit years ago filed by Calvin Klein (or Tiffany's?) against Costco for selling their products. They claimed since Costco wasn't one of their dealers, and since they were selling a lower than the minimum advertised price, they were devaluing their entire brand.
Costco told them to stick it because they bought the products from a approved dealer (gray market), and they have the right to resell anything they want. They went against the dealer saying they shouldn't have sold to Costco, but the dealer didn't know who they were selling to. Long story short, Costco won.
That's why you can still get Breitling's, Omega's, and other high priced watches plus Tommy Hilfiger & Calvin Klein clothes there. Same deal with BGE at Sam's. The manufacturers can refuse to honor the warranty, but Costco and Sams will always stand behind the product as long as you return it with all the pieces.
Parallel said:My dealers price was pretty close to that with the nest (I didn't want the nest). The whole reason I went with the BGE over a Kamodo Joe, Bayou Classic or similar Ceramic cooker was the Big Green Egg warranty.
Kamado Joe has the same warranty as the BGE. Lifetime on the shell, 5 years on the metal, 3 on the plate setter, and 1 on everything else.
Not sure how the service is, but like Egg, it comes down to the dealer. There are some dealers that will not do anything in regard to the warranty unless you bought it from them. My dealer went out of business, so I always just call down to the company store when I need a new firebox or plate setter. I just pay for shipping and it shows up 3-4 days later. Much easier than going through the other dealers.

RICHMOND, Va. – Entering the winter months, most people try to find their way indoors as much as possible. VCU Track & Field is the exact same way as they have a 14-meet indoor schedule on the horizon.
This weekend will kick things off for the Black & Gold as both the men's and women's track & field squads will head down to Christopher Newport for the annual Vince Brown Invitational.
Prior to the indoor season getting underway, VCU Athletic Communications Graduate Assistant Devon Howard sat down with Head Coach Jon Riley to chat about the upcoming season and some of the new faces that will be debuting as Rams this weekend.
DH: Now that you and your staff now have a full season under your belt of overseeing both programs, how is it different going into this season as opposed to last year when it was your first time at the helm of both the men's and women's programs?
JR: Our roles are well defined and just like athletes gel, coaches do as well. I understand each coach's strength a little better and I trust them to manage their groups. The team grew from 65 to 80 and I feel that we have a better grip on all aspects (weight room, study hall, travel, etc..)
DH: What is your favorite part about starting a new season? Least favorite part?
JR: I love watching newcomer compete on the collegiate level for the first time and I really don't have a least favorite part. I love everything about it.
DH: We know that the athletes go through training and all sorts of drills to prepare for the year, but how do you and your staff prepare for each new season?
JR: We prepare by continuing our education and correcting any mistakes that were made the previous year. We then create an annual plan that is well designed and balanced. It's complicated and requires us to work close with the strength and conditioning staff to make sure all parts sync.
DH: Do you prepare your teams differently for the indoor season as opposed to the outdoor season?
JR: Preparing differently is not the best way to put it. We train in phases. We start in a General Prep phase for 4 to 6 weeks them move into a Special prep phase, then to pre competition which is usually Christmas Break. Finally, we get into the competition phase and compete hard and start peaking at the indoor championships. We re-group after the Indoor Championships by taking them through a Transition Phase with active recovery. We reload and go back and repeat the pre comp and competition phase until the CAA Championships. Again the plan must be planned and well balanced.
DH: Are there specific areas that you have your teams working on during the off-season?
DH: How do you approach this weekend's opening meet, especially with it being the only meet your teams will run before the New Year?
JR: I look at this weekend's meet like another practice but against competition. I want them to get a taste of competition before we go on our long Christmas Break. We will be fatigued because all the hard work we've put in over the past 13 weeks, but I expect them to compete and perform well. I want to see what our game face look like.
DH: With several new faces on both squads, what are you looking to see out of them during the indoor season?
On the women's side, I'm looking for them to blend in seamlessly like last season never ended. We only lost 2 seniors and have a good mix of experience and youth. On the men's side, I'm looking for them to mature quick, fast and in a hurry. We lost quite a few guys last year and this group will respond. They remind me of the Women's Team when I arrived at VCU.
DH: What are your goals as a coach for this weekend?
JR: We will continue to teach and focus on technique.
DH: What are your goals for your squads?
JR: We want the athletes to do everything we've been working on for the past 13 weeks.
DH: What are your goals for the indoor season as a whole?
JR: We want to run fast, throw far, jump high and far. That will set us up for a good Outdoor Season.
DH: Looking at your schedule, which meets look especially important for your teams?
JR: We will put money in the bank at all the meets but we want to withdraw all that money at the CAA Championship.
DH: Being at the helm of both the men's and women's squads, do you change your coaching style depending on which team you're dealing with?
JR: Our coaching style never changes. We deal with all the groups the same. They adapt and adjust. I try my best to be rough on them, but I think they see right through me.
DH: Every team has a unique personality. What do you see as being the personalities of both the men's and women's track teams?
JR: Both the women's and men's teams take on the personality of their senior leaders: Confident and humble.

You fought over his capsule collection for Target, now be ready to get your pretty little manicured hands on some more, affordable, Jason Wu.
Jason Wu x Lancôme, which rolls out in stores this September, contains seven super wearable products from eye shadow palettes to lipstick—and we honestly can't wait for it to launch (exclusively) in Nordstrom and Bergdorf Goodman.
We had a chance to ask Mr. Wu a thing or two about his latest venture into the beauty world and here's what he told us:
Cosmo: You're a fashion designer, and now you've started lending your style to makeup—what inspired you to do this?
Jason Wu: "Beauty has always been extremely important to my design process and I've made it an integral part of my fashion shows over the years. I think it was an organic progression that further delves into the Jason Wu lifestyle that also showcases my love for colors."
Cosmo: How did you come to partner with Lancôme?
JW: "We were in talks for a while, so when the opportunity for Lancôme to sponsor the makeup team for my show came up, we thought it was the perfect time to also introduce a collection together. I love that women will now be able to recreate the iconic beauty looks that we design and incorporate that into their daily lives through this collaboration!"
Cosmo: Describe your collaboration and partnership with Lancôme?
JW: "The notion that Lancôme doesn't impose a model of beauty, but rather invites women to embrace themselves is what most intrigued me about with this partnership. The collaboration is an embodiment of a truly modern, sexy, and confident woman, much like the women I design for."
Cosmo: Did you have a muse in mind for your makeup collection?
JW: "The inspiration for the makeup collection came from some of my favorite colors and combinations that I've used in my collections. I wanted the colors to be vibrant, feminine, and wearable not only by themselves, but also combined together to create a butterfly-esque eye palette."
Cosmo: How will your fashion style be reflected in the makeup line?
JW: "I think it is always important to think about the complete look when I design a collection. For example, this season (Fall) was all about the purple eyelid that reflected the Yves Klein blue inspired finale dress, which was really dramatic. The idea was that the makeup was part of the color story of the collection. I just loved the idea of this intense blue eye—it is so dynamic and utterly feminine at the same time."
Cosmo: You're such an iconic member of the fashion industry. Can we look forward to more makeup collaborations from you in the future?
JW: "Stayed tuned-more to come from Jason Wu x Lancome!"
So will you be swiping on this designer's makeup line as soon as you can get your pretty little manicured hands on it?

Following eBay's Listing Policies
eBay has some hard-and-fast rules about listing your items. When you put items up on eBay for auction, you must list them in the appropriate categories (that only makes sense), and here a few other rules that you should keep in mind when listing. Although this isn't a definitive list of eBay listing policies and rules, it will give you a good working sense of what to look out for.
Take time to familiarize yourself with the User Agreement, which details all eBay policies and rules.
Duplicate listings: eBay allows you five identical listings, no more, at any time. If you're going to list an item that many times, at least be sure to list it in different categories. That's a rule, but it also makes sense. Nothing drives down the price of an item faster than closing identical auctions, one after another, in the same category. eBay also requires that you list your auction in a category that's relevant to your item. (No fashion dolls among the car parts, please, or vice versa.)
If you have multiple copies of something, a better solution is to run a fixed-price listing for the total number of items you have for sale. Buyers may buy one item or many in one transaction.
Listings with variations: Certain categories on eBay allow you to list multiples of a single item with variations. For example, you may have just purchased a case of baby onesies (those one-piece wrap-around outfits that close with snaps — very popular with the parents of newborns), and you have several sizes and colors to sell. If they're all of the same style, you can put them all in one listing as variations. Currently, listings with variations are only available in certain categories:
Clothing, Shoes & Accessories
Health & Beauty
Home & Garden and most subcategories
Jewelry & Watches
Pet Supplies
Sporting Goods
Before you attempt to list an item with variations, it's best to check the eBay Category Look-Up Tool. You can find it by clicking the drop-down menu from the top Navigation bar and clicking Sell→Seller Information Center.
When you list an item in any of these categories, you can indicate that you want to create a listing with variations. On the menu provided, select Yes, then click Continue, and then complete the steps in the List Your Variations tool.
Presale listings: If you're tempted to sell something that hasn't been delivered to you yet, well, as a rule . . . don't. eBay doesn't like it when you try to sell something that's not already in your hands (known as a presale listing). Doing so is a dangerous game to play anyway. In many situations, being the first seller to put a very popular item up for sale can get you some pretty high bids. And if you can guarantee in your auction description that the item will be available to ship within 30 days of the purchase or the auction closing, you can run a presale.

Even with the unexplained fires and cramped interior and portly weight, no one can deny the Fisker Karma is a stunningly beautiful car. However, if you're looking for something to give your car a special appeal to plushies or maybe give it another great, non-electrical reason never to get it wet, the folks at Wrap Experts have the solution for you.
Wrap your Karma in Velvet!
Sure, why not? The velvety texture looks as good as one of those black rubber bumpers on 80s cars after years of weathering without all the time commitment! The surface of your car will now have a sensual, fuzzy feeling, as well as collect dust and cat hair and stains like you wouldn't believe!
(Thanks, Robb Holland!)

Search Jim Cramer's "Mad Money" trading recommendations using our exclusive "Mad Money" Stock Screener.
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- One down day does not make a market, Jim Cramer told "Mad Money" viewers Wednesday. Cramer said there are important issues to worry about, but that doesn't negate the many positives the market has going for it. What are the negatives that has the market worried? Cramer said the release of the Federal Reserve minutes showed the Fed sees some positives in the economy, which is actually good news. However, investors then worried interest rates may eventually be on the rise. Then there are the worries over the coming government sequester -- the mandatory cuts across the board. Cramer said this, like the fiscal cliff, may actually be another situation where the bark is worse than the bite. Then there were the disappointing earnings from homebuilder Toll Brothers ( TOL - Get Report). Cramer said the markets were disappointed but during the conference call he noted that Toll is actually more bullish than it has been in years. So should investors worry about Owens Corning ( OC - Get Report) below $40 a share? Cramer said he wouldn't, as the housing recovery is still alive and well. Cramer said he is concerned over the price of copper as that could indicate China is still stuck in the mud, and any time Washington is on the front page it's never good news for stocks. But that doesn't mean the markets can't have a bad day here or there, he concluded. Even sports legends all had their down days.
Executive DecisionIn the "Executive Decision" segment, Cramer spoke with Gary Evans, chairman and CEO of Magnum Hunter ( MHR), a speculative oil and gas driller whose shares fell 40% over the past year. Evans explained that Magnum Hunter is a company where the sum of its parts is worth far more than the whole. That's why the company plans to sell its mature Eagle Ford assets, about 26,000 acres, and use that capital to further develop its other assets. "The markets wants to see growth," Evans said, and that's what Magnum Hunter plans to deliver in 2013. Evans said he's very excited about his company's assets in North Dakota in particular. He said while many doubted the assets Magnum acquired, now that the company has drilled a number of wells it is focusing on the sweet spots and having a lot of success.
When asked about taking on a foreign investor as a partner, Evans said there's a lot of interest by foreign companies to learn about U.S. oil and gas technologies. He said Magnum certainly could bring on a foreign investor if it wanted to. Cramer admitted that his recommendation of Magnum last year did not pan out for investors. He said the underlying story remains strong at the company, but whether the markets will recognize that potential is another story.

Attend a Webinar!
Professional Psychology Program
We at the George Washington University Doctor of Psychology Program warmly welcome you to explore and examine all that we have to offer.
The Psychology Program is composed of four years of education and training in clinical psychology—usually a full time, three year curriculum in residence at GW followed by a year of full time internship. Those who successfully complete both components are granted the Doctor of Psychology (PsyD) degree in Clinical Psychology. The program is a free-standing program within the Columbian College of Arts and Sciences. It follows the "practitioner-scholar" model of education within the local clinical scientist tradition to prepare students for practice-focused careers in Clinical Psychology.
Students receive a breadth and depth of education and training in clinical psychology, focusing on psychodynamic approaches complemented by other perspectives, which combine the extensive practical experience they receive throughout the program with courses, graduated, sequential writing requirements and opportunities for research that integrate practice-based knowledge and skills with the scientific foundations of psychology. Courses are taught by seasoned clinicians, scholars, and researchers. Coursework is designed to be completed within three years of full-time study (fall, spring, and summer sessions each year). Additionally, this program emphasizes first-hand experience by allowing students immersion into The Center Clinic starting during the fall of their first year.
After all course work, clinic and scholarly writing requirements are fulfilled, and prior to receiving the PsyD degree, students complete a one-year, full-time internship requirement (or two years, at least half time each year) at a site approved by the faculty..

How many of you have childhood memories that are centered around watermelon? When I was a small child my grandmother would spread open old newspapers and place on a table outside.
How many of you have childhood memories that are centered around watermelon? When I was a small child my grandmother would spread open old newspapers and place on a table outside. She would cut the watermelon in half and my bothers and I would tell her what size and shape to cut. We would each take our piece and then enjoy our watermelon-spitting contest. July is the time to sit outside under a tree and enjoy this wonderful refreshing fruit, especially when it is hot outside. The following are 6 good reasons why we should eat watermelon. Remember not to swallow the seeds. As my grandmother would say �if you swallow the seeds you may grow a watermelon.�
1. Blushing with Pride: Watermelon is bursting with lycopene
Lycopene is a plant pigment found in red plant foods such as tomatoes and watermelons. It is thought to have antioxidant capabilities. While tomatoes traditionally have been used in lycopene research because of their established lycopene levels, scientists recently discovered that watermelons have as much or more than tomatoes. A 2-cup serving of watermelon contains 18.16 mg while one medium-sized tomato contains 4 mg. Deep red flesh is the best indicator of lycopene.
2. Watermelon: C for yourself
A hefty 25 percent of the Daily Value for vitamin C can be found in two cups of watermelon. Vitamin C is an essential vitamin important for healthy teeth and gums. It helps in the absorption of iron; aids in the maintenance of normal connective tissue skin health, immune functions and wound healing. It also has antioxidant properties, helping to prevent cell damage by neutralizing "free radicals" � molecules believed to be associated with aging and certain diseases. A growing body of evidence suggests that people who eat enough fruit and vegetables to meet the daily requirements for vitamin C have healthier blood pressure levels than those who don�t eat enough of these important foods.
3. Build your immune system
Watermelon is a rich source of vitamin A, which plays an important role in vision, bone growth, reproduction, and cell division. Vitamin A is vital for many other functions, including regulation of the immune system and the production of lymphocytes, which are white blood cells. A 2-cup serving provides 30 percent of the Daily Value for this important vitamin. Squares of watermelon for dessert or a daily snack will help to keep your immune system strong.
4. How sweet it is: Lose weight the healthy way
Obesity has reached epidemic proportions in the United States, with more than 60 percent of adults overweight or obese. This places over 97 million Americans at greater risk of chronic diseases. At only 40 calories per 2 cups of diced pieces, watermelon is ideal for anyone watching their weight. For a delicious fruit salad that is low in calories, rich in nutrients and also looks pretty, carve watermelon, honeydew, and cantaloupe balls and mix with blueberries and place on watermelon wedges (with rinds removed). Don�t forget to eat the watermelon wedges.
5. Heart healthy watermelon
Watermelon is a nutritional winner that is naturally low in saturated fat, total fat and cholesterol. Studies suggest that people who eat at least three servings of fruits and vegetables a day have a substantially lower risk of dying from stroke, heart disease and all other heart related causes than people who eat no more than one serving a day. Add cubes of watermelon to color, flavor, and add exceptional nutritional value to salads.
6. Got watermelon? Get hydrated
It�s no coincidence that the word water appears in watermelon. Thirst quenching watermelon can help to replenish body fluids. One cup of diced watermelon is about 90 percent water. Try refreshing watermelon juice, which is now sold in some supermarkets. Or you can easily make watermelon juice yourself: Slice a chilled watermelon into 2 inch slices and place in a blender or food processor and process until smooth. Press through a fine sieve, strain and discard seeds and pulp, pour the juice into a pitcher, chill and serve cold.
