Sometimes it's hard to tell whether a CEO is really in trouble, or if someone's just looking for attention.
Without a connection on the board, it's impossible to know for sure.
Still, there are a few things to look for that let you distinguish situations like Ron Johnson's, where an exit is likely, from the talk about Apple's Tim Cook, which is just speculation.
People start jumping ship
Relatively few executives will leave when they feel a turnaround's likely and they can claim part of the credit.
But nobody wants to go down with a sinking company. High-profile executive departures usually aren't a good sign, especially when they come in waves.
Taking forever to replace a high-level departure could be another worrying sign. Research from Northwestern's Jennifer Brown and David Matsa finds that companies in distress have a big problem finding talent.
The critics have muscle
There's a world of difference between comments from anonymous Wall Street sources, from the actual analysts who cover the company, and activism from big-time investors.
Some external sources are more credible than others. Ex-JC Penney CEO and retail legend Allen Questrom's criticism of Ron Johnson struck a chord, for example.
But criticism means more when there's significant money involved, or when people who cover a company for a living and for investors' profit start to get worried.
Particularly, when a large activist investor gets involved, like Dan Loeb did at Yahoo under Carol Bartz, it means that not only do they think the CEO's bad, they think they have enough muscle to get them out.
Frequently, they do.
Things get leaky
The first sign of unrest is when stories start coming out about a negative company culture or problems in the company on the ground, from retail workers or low-level employees.
That doesn't mean all that much. You can find a disaffected employee wanting to vent just about anywhere.
When those complaints and sources start to come from senior management, you have a bigger issue.
Multiple executives at JC Penney, for example, had complaints about Johnson's management style, the lack of transparency, and a culture of fear and anxiety.
There are crystal clear strategic errors
It's one thing to underperform in a tough market or due to long-term trends. It's another entirely if a signature acquisition fails, or if a major initiative fails.
The fact that customers were alienated by Ron Johnson's changes to discounting and merchandise highlighted the fact that he didn't test them first.
Stories are incredibly powerful. When there's a narrative of failure or bad management, the media, investors, and customers can latch onto, it can be difficult to stop.
They miss the numbers people really care about
Whether its the sales of a signature product, profit margins, or specific costs, there are benchmark numbers that people care about for different companies, beyond just revenue and earnings per share. In JC Penney's case, it was same-store sales which fell by a staggering 32% in one year.
Another sign is when they miss their board's goals in addition to Wall Street's. A board takes a longer-term view of the company than Wall Street's quarter-by-quarter approach, and has deeper access to the company's operations and finances. When their goals are repeatedly missed, it's a big warning sign.
How can you know what a board's expectations are? Every year, public companies file a proxy statement (DEF 14A) with the SEC. It outlines what CEOs are paid, what parts of their compensation are performance-based, how it determines stock grants, and so on. When a CEO makes or exceeds their goals, they'll often get some extra stock or cash. When they don't, those numbers drop. And when they miss badly, even their base pay can get cut. That's usually a pretty good guide to the board's sentiment.
A board member speaks publicly
This is the final straw — the sign that there's about to be a change and that you should plan accordingly. The board, in the end, makes the actual decision. Anonymous grumblings and rumors are one thing, but public criticism signals that things have come to a head.
It was pretty much over for Ron Johnson once Bill Ackman, a major JCP shareholder, a board member, and Johnson's most prominent supporter, publicly commented on his underperformance.
Ackman spoke on a Friday, and Johnson was out on Monday.

Rwanda says warlord turned himself in
KIGALI, Rwanda (AP) - A U.S. State Department spokeswoman says that a wanted Congolese warlord turned himself in to the U.S. Embassy in Rwanda after years on the run.
Bosco Ntaganda walked into the U.S. Embassy in Kigali on Monday and asked to be transferred to the International Criminal Court at The Hague, Netherlands, where he is wanted for war crimes.
State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland says the U.S. is now consulting with the Rwandan government.
The ICC first indicted Ntaganda in 2006 but relies on member nations to arrest suspects and Congo did not apprehend him.
The allegations against Ntaganda date back to crimes allegedly committed a decade ago in northeastern Congo. However, human rights groups say Ntaganda has been implicated in other attacks on civilians in eastern Congo in recent years.
First in a Tweet and later in an official communique, Rwanda's Foreign Minister and government spokeswoman Louise Mushikiwabo said, "We have just learned that Gen. Ntaganda presented himself at the U.S. Embassy early this morning."
In the capital of the neighboring nation of Congo, where Ntaganda has been on the run since last year, Congolese government spokesman Lambert Mende confirmed the information: "We have learned from non-official sources that Bosco Ntaganda is at the U.S. Embassy in Kigali. We are waiting for the United States to make the news official and we are confident they will hand him over to justice."
Nicknamed "The Terminator," for his ruthless actions, Ntaganda was born in Rwanda in 1973, and moved to the neighboring nation of Congo as a teenager. He was first indicted in 2006 by the International Criminal Court for conscripting and using child soldiers during his time as a senior commander in a Congolese rebel group accused of terrorizing the Ituri region of eastern Congo between 2002 and 2003. He later joined and rose through the ranks of a different rebel group, the National Congress for the Defense of the People, which signed a peace accord with the Congolese government on March 23, 2009.
The accord paved the way for Ntaganda and his fellow rebels to join the ranks of the regular Congolese army. He soon became one of Africa's symbols of impunity. Despite the outstanding warrant from the ICC and mounting evidence of continued abuse, he was awarded the rank of general in the Congolese army, living in an upscale villa in the eastern Congolese town of Goma, playing tennis in his spare time.
Then last spring, he and his men began defecting from the Congolese army by the hundreds, claiming that the government had failed to uphold their end of the 2009 deal. They started a new rebellion, dubbed the M23, in honor of the March 23 signing of the now-defunct 2009 accord. And in November last year, the rebel group marched into and seized control of Goma, one of the most important cities in eastern Congo.
Ntaganda's role in the M23 rebellion remained murky, with human rights groups accusing him of leading it, while other M23 leaders attempted to distance themselves from the wanted general.
Earlier this month, M23 split into two different factions. While Ntaganda was believed to have enjoyed Rwanda's support, Rwanda's relationship with him ever since the split remains unclear.
Rights groups on Monday quickly called for the U.S. embassy to hand him over to The Hague.
"Bosco Ntaganda is not called 'The Terminator' for nothing. If he is at the U.S. embassy, the U.S. should immediately hand him over to the International Criminal Court for trial," said Sasha Lezhnev, senior analyst for the Enough Project in Washington, who closely follows Congo. "This would send serious signals to current and future warlords who continue to perpetrate atrocities in eastern Congo."
In Congo, Henri Bora Ladyi, who works at the Conflict Resolution Center which helps demobilize child soldiers, including some who fought in Ntaganda's rebel army, said: "It's a relief, but justice must be done. We fear that he will be kept in Rwanda and won't be extradited. Now what is important is to create space so that children in the M23 can leave the movement."

The National Sleep Foundation suggests that the average adult should get 7 to 9 hours of sleep per night.
For a long time, six to six and a half hours was a pretty typical night for me. I would go to bed at a reasonable time (between 10 and 11), but I would read for a while and then I'm usually awakened by a child around six in the morning.
The child awakening is still ongoing in my life, but today I try to have the lights off by 10.
Why? I make better decisions when I've had a full night of sleep. Without that, I tend to spend more money.
Here are some examples of what I'm talking about.
If I'm not well-rested, I'll find my defense mechanisms against impulsive buying are much lower. I'll buy a book on the Kindle, even though I have several books from the library that I'm looking forward to reading. I'll add some unnecessary things to my cart at the grocery store. These things cost money, and I end up with stuff that I don't need or even really want that badly.
If I'm not well-rested, I'm not highly productive when working. I'm easily distracted and find myself browsing Twitter or other web sites. I'll have difficulty coming up with the words I want to use. I'll just stop at awkward points in my writing and struggle to find the next word or phrase. All of this adds up to low productivity when I'm supposed to be working, and that has a direct financial cost and an impact on the valuable time I get to spend with my family.
If I'm not well-rested, I'm prone to mood swings. I get upset and cranky at things that would not otherwise bother me. This is particularly true when I'm dealing with my kids. When they'll do something that's a normal thing for a kid to do – get messy in a mud puddle, for instance – a well-rested Trent deals with it just fine. An unrested Trent responds with crankiness. This impacts professional relationships, personal relationships, and quality of life.
Cutting back on sleep can often feel like a convenient shortcut. There were times in my life, such as my college years, when an all-nighter would provide much more benefit than drawback.
The problem is that I'm not that same kid who could stay up all night in college and still do okay on the 8 AM final. I might gain some productivity by putting off sleep, but I lose so much productivity and focus in the following day or two that it ends up being a net loss.
If I have something important to work on, I'm far better off going to bed, getting a great night of sleep, and tackling it in the morning. I'm more focused and much more able to solve the challenges at hand.
Get a good night's sleep every night. Over the long run, your life will reward you for it in almost every way.
This post is part of a yearlong series called "365 Ways to Live Cheap (Revisited)," in which I'm revisiting the entries from my book "365 Ways to Live Cheap," which is available at Amazon and at bookstores everywhere.

This is an excerpt from Examination of Musculoskeletal Injuries, Third Edition by Sandra J. Shultz, PhD, ATC, CSCS, FNATA, Peggy A. Houglum, PhD, ATC, PT, and David H. Perrin, PhD, ATC.
During your career, you will likely encounter an unconscious athlete and not know the etiology of her condition. Although unconsciousness may result from traumatic injury, it may also result from a variety of general medical conditions or drug interactions (see chapters 21-23).
Systematically examine patients who are unconscious for no known reason, proceeding from searching for life-threatening conditions to identifying potential signs and symptoms that may reveal the cause for unconsciousness. Most of the examination techniques you will use in general examination of the unconscious patient are described in other chapters. Therefore, in this section you will read about the general framework of the examination and be referred to the appropriate chapters for details.
Your first goal is to look for unconsciousness and life-threatening conditions by examining vital signs and checking for severe bleeding. Attempt to arouse the patient by calling her name. Check airway, breathing, and circulation for respirations and pulse. Because you do not know the cause for unconsciousness, you must use spinal precautions until you have ruled out cervical spine injury (chapter 11). If pulse or breathing is absent, call EMS and begin cardiopulmonary resuscitation. There is no need to continue the examination. If respirations and pulse are present, check for signs of severe bleeding and if these are present, control the bleeding before proceeding.
In your secondary survey, continue to look for life-threatening conditions and signs of the cause of unconsciousness. However, considering the number of conditions that may cause abnormal findings, your primary goal is not so much to determine the nature of the injury or illness as to identify positive signs that will help you make decisions about referral and emergency care or first aid. Your main examination tools include history taken from bystanders, observation, and palpation.
Obviously, an unconscious patient will not be able to give you any information. However, you may gain valuable information from the environment, bystanders, or both. As you look at the surroundings, check for evidence that indicates a traumatic event. Ask bystanders if they have any idea what caused the unconsciousness. Did they witness an accident or event, or was there no apparent trauma or injury mechanism? Did they note whether the loss of consciousness was gradual or rapid? Sudden onset is common with such conditions as syncopal episodes, concussion, and epilepsy, whereas gradual onset is common with increasing intracranial hemorrhage, shock, heat illness, and diabetic coma. Ask how long the athlete has been unconscious. If bystanders observed her losing consciousness, try to determine her level of consciousness or behavior before losing consciousness and the activity in which she was engaged. Was she confused or disoriented, or did she seem fine just before losing consciousness? Did she complain of any pain, illness, or other symptoms? Abdominal pain may be a clue to internal hemorrhage, and chest pain may indicate cardiorespiratory pathology.
Finally, ask bystanders if they know of any aspects of the patient's medical history that may have contributed to her unconsciousness. For instance, does she have diabetes or epilepsy? Has she lost consciousness before, and if so, what was the cause of the previous episode? Friends may also know whether she is taking medications or abusing drugs or alcohol. The more information you can obtain from bystanders, the more precisely you can define the patient's condition and the more information you will be able to provide to emergency medical personnel when they arrive.
Observation and Inspection
Inspect the patient for any signs indicating a life-threatening condition as well as clues to the type of trauma or illness. As you approach the unconscious athlete, for example, observe the head, neck, and extremities for deformities or unusual positioning. Note any unusual body posturing (decorticate or decerebrate rigidity; see chapter 19) that indicates head trauma or brain injury. An athlete who appears relaxed and is positioned normally usually has a less serious condition. Note any evidence of seizure activity and take the appropriate actions to protect the patient from further injury.
Although you have already checked for breathing, recheck respirations for presence, rate, depth, and rhythm (chapter 9). Aside from the fact that he may have been performing physical activity before the injury, observe if his respirations are rapid and shallow (shock, syncope) or slow, shallow, or irregular (head injury). Normal respiration immediately following activity may be rapid, but the breaths will be deep, not shallow. Note any signs of respiratory distress such as wheezing or difficulty exchanging air. Chapters 19 through 21 cover conditions that could alter respiration.
Inspect the skin for temperature, coloration, and moisture. Is the skin hot and dry, indicating a heat-related illness? Or is it cool, pale, and clammy, which might indicate shock and internal hemorrhage? Is the athlete cyanotic around the lips and face? This could indicate inadequate oxygenation.
Next, check pupils for size, equality, and reaction to light (chapter 19). Someone who has simply fainted will have equal and reactive pupils. Pupils that are equal and dilated may indicate a grand mal seizure or shock. Pinpoint pupils indicate drug overdose. Dilation, inequality, or lack of reactivity in one pupil indicates a space-occupying brain lesion.
Inspect the mouth for bleeding and evidence of an unusual odor. The hyperglycemic patient has a sweet, fruity breath odor (see the discussion of diabetes in chapter 22). A patient who has suffered a seizure may have bitten the tongue, and bleeding may be observable.
Inspect the patient head to toe for evidence of trauma. First inspect around the head, scalp, and neck for any swelling, deformity, or discoloration that would indicate a skull fracture or head injury. Check the nose for rhinorrhea, or fluid coming from the nose, and check the ears for otorrhea, or fluid coming from the ear (chapter 19). Inspect for swelling, deformity, or discoloration of the chest wall, trunk, and abdomen that may indicate a rib fracture or underlying internal pathology (chapter 20).
Finally, inspect the extremities for swelling, deformity, or discoloration. Although injuries to the extremities usually do not cause loss of consciousness, these signs may indicate the severity of trauma and other conditions (i.e., shock and internal injuries). If this inspection reveals any positive signs, call EMS at once.
Use palpation to confirm the presence and strength of vital signs and to screen the patient head to toe for evidence of trauma. First palpate the pulse for presence, rate, and strength (chapter 9). Take and record blood pressure. Hypertension and bradycardia may indicate intracranial hemorrhage (chapter 19), whereas a rapid, weak pulse and low blood pressure indicate shock and internal hemorrhage (chapters 9 and 20). The pulse is also fast and weak secondary to a variety of medical conditions (chapters 21-23).
After examining vital signs, palpate the body head to toe. Palpate the head, neck, and scalp for deformity, crepitus, depressions, or swelling for possible bleeding, fracture, or dislocation. Palpate the chest, trunk, and extremities for deformity (fracture and dislocation), crepitus (fracture), unusual contours, and swelling that would indicate trauma. Palpate the abdomen for distension and rigidity to discern internal injury.
Level of Consciousness
Finally, examine the level of consciousness if you have not already done so. You should also constantly reexamine vital signs throughout the examination to monitor for worsening or improving conditions. Use the Glasgow Coma Scale described in chapter 19 to determine whether the athlete is drowsy, stuporous, or comatose. An athlete is drowsy if she can be aroused with verbal stimuli and stuporous if she can be aroused with painful stimuli such as a pinch to the trapezius or the inner arm or thigh. If there is no response to either stimulus, she is comatose.
Use the "Checklist for the Examination of an Unconscious Athlete" on page 174 to guide your examination. You may use this checklist to help you develop your own routine.
When to Refer
Do not use any special or functional tests to examine an unconscious athlete unless she regains consciousness and you get a better sense of the cause. The history, observation, and palpation should give you sufficient information for determining the need to summon EMS and provide emergency first aid. In almost all cases of unconsciousness, the patient should be referred to a physician for medical examination and diagnosis. Immediate emergency referral is warranted in any of the following situations:

Firstly, I should probably explain myself for not updating for so long. But the story of lack of posts is just too simple - my sewing machine is in the closet for the last half year. I guess the inspiration for sewing is on vacation (haven't we all been there?)...
Anyway, today I'm updating to share with you a very special creation - a bag made by a blogger Rita!
|Click here to see the post on Rita's blog!
Thank you once again, Rita, for sharing with me - I'll be looking forward to more bags from you!
P.S. If any of you have made a bag according to my tutorials - please don't hesitate to share them with me, I'd love to see them! :)

Cruise Line Cuisine: Is it Really Gourmet? (part 5)by Paul Motter, CruiseMates Editor | September 25, 2009
One of the biggest surprises many first time cruisers face is the outstanding quality of cruise ship cuisine.
Career Cruise Line Chefs Rather than hiring a part-time celebrity chef as a consultant, some cruise lines have executive chefs who are also fulltime food and beverage managers.
Karl Muhlberger is a chef who has worked aboard Silversea, became the head corporate chef for Cunard soon after Queen Mary 2 was launched and is now director of culinary operations for Norwegian Cruise Lines.
Rudi Sodamin is another executive chef who has worked in the cruise industry almost forever. He started out on NCL's Vistafjord when he was 23. He now works for Holland America but has also worked for Cunard and Royal Caribbean in the past. Rudi has worked for every major cruise corporation. Rudy has his own cooking school and has written 10 cookbooks, including "Easy and Elegant Cooking" and "A Taste of Excellence."
Princess takes a different approach. Each ship has its own executive chef who is responsible for menu creation. This means the cuisine is more tailored to the region where each ship is cruising - a nice touch, but it also means a little less creativity in terms of cutting edge cuisine. Princess tends to have good, basic food.
Consulting and Executive Chefs There are many titles of chefs in the culinary world, and naturally they are not exact. I have been using "consulting chef" because the celebrity chefs mentioned above do not work on the ships, but in their own kitchens they would be "Chef de Cuisine," a title for a chef who invents original recipes and menus.
An "executive chef" is usually the one chef in a kitchen who is in charge of making sure everyone is doing their job. Another title for this person is "head chef."
But a "chef de cuisine" may or may not work in the same restaurant nightly, while the world-famous consulting chefs may design the recipes on cruise ships, the question of their continuing influence still remains. "I think you can safely say it runs the gamut," says Janice.
Even if you walk into a "name" restaurant on a cruise ship, like the coming "Jacques" named after Jacques Pepin on the new Oceania Marina, it is unlikely (although not impossible) that Pepin himself will be in the galley supervising.
One of the few restaurants that will have a celebrity Chef de Cuisine onboard full time will be the new Oasis of the Seas. Royal Caribbean has hired Keriann Von Raesfeld for the alternative restaurant 150 Central Park onboard.
Von Raesfeld is not yet of the stature of most of the other chefs in this article, but at only 23 she is the first American and the first woman to win the title "Best Young Cook in the World" at the World Association of Chefs Societies Congress held in Dubai in May 2008. She also led Team USA to its first gold medal at the Scothot Competition in Scotland. She was also a part of the Team USA's regional team that won their first ever gold medal at the Culinary Olympics in Germany.
She will be designing the entire menu for 150 Central Park. A $35 surcharge for an unlimited menu makes this one of the best gourmet bargains in the world. I will be one of the first people to try her restaurant in its full glory with my reservation already set for December 3, the third night of the first revenue cruise.
Summing Up Cruise Ship Cuisine So, how much influence do these celebrity chefs have over the cruise lines? My research suggests that while it runs the gamut, on average it is probably more than you would expect. These are not just branding opportunities for clever marketers; these chefs care about their reputations - which are only as good as the last meal created in their names.
The chefs with the most cruise line involvement appear to be Keriann von Raesfeld first as the only onboard Chef de Cuisine in the group. Jacques Pepin of Oceania is very compelling since in recent interviews his namesake cruise ship restaurant is the only project he talks about.
We also know that Nobu and Selvaggio travel on Crystal on a regular basis. And even though the main dining rooms on Crystal do not have celebrity chefs, the food there is still some of the best in the cruise industry.
Since Seabourn just put Odyssey online we have heard Charlie Palmer saying he was involved in designing the galleys as well as the cuisine.
Georges Blanc's affiliation with Carnival was just reaffirmed a year ago.
Unfortunately, Daniel Boulud's (one of the best) affiliation with Cunard appears to be over. Many knowledgeable gourmands say Boulud deserved to have a namesake restaurant onboard Cunard ships rather than Todd English, but it didn't work out that way.
I can't wait for the CruiseMates Culinary Cruise with Chef Matt Sigel on Norwegian Epic, departing Oct. 30, 2010. Matt opened my eyes to the world of cruise line cuisine - an area I didn't focus on much before. I also want to thank Janice Wald Henderson, based in Los Angeles as a regular writer for Bon Appétit Magazine.
This is a topic that some readers may already know well, and we welcome your input at this message board: Cruise Cuisine
Our final piece of advice, as Janice Wald Henderson points out, is to look to the alternative restaurants onboard for the most amazing, cutting edge cuisine on cruise ships. Cruise lines have to be very careful about changing the food in the main dining rooms, which means consistently good food in many cases but with far stricter limits on experimentation.
And remember, even in an alternative restaurant you can't beat the price of gourmet food on a cruise ship. A meal from most of these chefs will cost you more than $120 per person onshore, especially if you include wine. On a cruise ship, few restaurants cost more than $30 per person, and the main dining rooms are always free.

The majority of LEE BENSON'S SAR search and rescue operations occurred during his 26 -year career with the Los Angeles County Fire Dept. Additionally, in 1981 he flew for the Life Flight program in Indianapolis. But Lee observes that all helicopter pilots, regardless of their main mission, have done and continue to do lifesaving work as it is encountered in their day-to-day operations.
STEVE "ELROY" COLBY started his aviation career as a helicopter mechanic for the U.S. Air Force 27 years ago. He went on to hold positions as a combat rescue weapons officer and instructor pilot, operational test pilot, and ultimately as commander of the USAF 34th Weapons Sqdn., the school for combat search-and-rescue pilots. He now works as a Defense Dept. consultant, providing flight-test planning, execution, reporting, and engineering recommendation services. His involvement with various aerospace industries as a mechanic, tester, and consultant give him unique insight into key technological and programmatic advances in the rotorcraft industry.
FRANK COLUCCI has written in depth about military and commercial rotorcraft for more than 25 years. He is a contributing editor for the American Helicopter Society International's Vertiflite magazine and routinely writes about rotary-wing technology and operations. In addition, he has authored an early book on the Boeing AH-64 Apache, "The McDonnell Douglas Apache." Frank's past articles for Rotor & Wing have covered the evolving Apache.
WIM DAS (left) and KEES OTTEN (right) typically spend a half-day doing interviews and taking photos for their stories. So it was a pleasant surprise when the Dutch navy invited them for a three-day stay on the HMS Rotterdam helicopter carrier steaming at sea and gave them almost carte blanche on interviews, facilities, and base visits at the naval air station Den Helder. This month, we offer the second of their two-part story on helicopter operations of the Dutch navy.
BARNEY O'SHEA spent the last two months visiting old military friends and making new ones in the United Kingdom and Germany. He attended the U.K. Army Air Corps' Golden Jubilee in early September and was briefed on that organization's operations in Iraq and Afghanistan. He also visited with top officers of the Heeresflieger, the German Army air force, focusing on its flight training.
ERNIE STEPHENS has been writing for R&W since 2003, and contributes to our sister publication, Aviation Maintenance. He holds a B.S. in Management of Technical Operations and a master's degree in Aeronautical Science, both from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University. He recently retired as the officer-in-charge and chief pilot for a Washington, D.C. area county police agency. His hobbies include practicing instrument procedures on a computer-based flight trainer.
RICHARD WHITTLE, a regular contributor to R&W, reports this month on the recent gatherings of the Air Force Assn. and the Assn. of the U.S. Army, both held in Washington. He is writing a book on the V-22 Osprey for Simon & Schuster.

Good Team Structure
Fund: Noro-Moseley Partners
Posted by Anonymous on 2009-05-10
We pitched Noro about a month ago. We are currently in the diligence stage. I worked primarily with Greg Foster and Mike Elliott. Both great guys. I found their team to be very easy to work with. I like their team structure of a former operator and another that is more purely aligned with the financial side. They have been very courteous during the entire process. Although this sounds like a basic compliment, it seems to be lacking in many other firms. They also seem less likely to monkey with your vision. I do not have a deep wealth of experience in this process, but it has worked well to this point.PRIVATE: Members Only

When I heard about plans for the inaugural Forever Fest to be held at the famed Alamo Drafthouse in Austin, Texas, I realized how few events in our industry deal with fun topics for women. There are festivals dedicated to horror, documentary, comedy, and science fiction movies all over the world, but not a one devoted to female-centric driven content with a focus on repertory classics. Until now. Dedicated to the celebration of "girlie pop culture," the Forever Fest aims to fill the void for a fandom that is estrogen-fueled and unapologetic about it.
Founded by visionaries Sarah Pitre and Brandy Fons, Forever Fest will take place in Austin from November 1-3. With a campaign goal of $15,000, the two women are spearheading a Kickstarter, and they need your help to make this long-needed Festival the best it can possibly be. Facing expenses for theater rentals, hotel bookings, and flights for special guests, the Forever Fest team needs your support.
Pitre and Fons have provided a sneak peek at their proposed line-up, which includes a 15th anniversary screening of Can't Hardly Wait with Ethan Embry, Danceoke, a book conversation with Go Fug Yourself creators Jessica Morgan and Heather Cocks, a special screening of Sixteen Candles (complete with a dance party), and more. My personal favorite? The Wild Brunch, which is "a mimosa-fueled salute to the hottest men in cinema."
So you don't live in Austin? I feel your pain. However, I still plan to donate and so should you! Out-of-towners can contribute at different reward levels. Gifts include Forever Fest buttons, koozies, t-shirts and having your twitter handle listed on their donor page. If you live in the Austin area (or are willing to travel), you can contribute 100 dollars for a Forever Fest VIP badge that provides priority access for purchasing festival tickets and for accessing events. Hurry because only 100 of these VIP badges are available as rewards.
So if you've ever tried to apply lipstick like Claire in The Breakfast Club or played "suck and blow" like the gang in Clueless, Forever Fest is the place for you and all your best gal pals. Won't you help it launch and thrive?

10 of the worst examples of Michelle Malkin's bigoted rhetoric
Blog ››› ››› MARCUS FELDMAN
In a recent post on her website, Fox News contributor Sally Kohn argued that conservative pundit Michelle Malkin, also a Fox News contributor, "condemn[s] supposed incivility on the part of the left while championing incivility on the part of the right," and pointed to examples of Malkin attacking progressives. Malkin responded to Kohn's post on Sean Hannity's radio show today, arguing that instead of using inflammatory rhetoric, she merely makes "funny," "lighthearted jokes":
But the following attacks Malkin has launched against progressives are neither "funny" nor "lighthearted":
- Malkin attacked Michelle Obama for shopping at an Alexandria, VA, Target store, writing that Obama went "about as 'incognito' as Lady Gaga's outfit at her younger sister's graduation." Malkin went on to call the first lady "the glamour queen" and further stated that Obama's Target visit was "to counter the negative diva buzz" and that it "looks like she left the bling at home."
- Malkin called Michelle Obama the president's "bitter half" and the "bitter half of the Obama administration."
- Malkin mocked Democratic National Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz as nothing more than "Alan Grayson in heels ... Anthony Weiner, only an octave higher."
- Malkin called President Obama "thug-in-chief" and accused his administration of having "boots on the necks of American small business owners."
- Malkin said Obama "has been the Chicago bully in victim's clothing from day one."
- Malkin asserted that with the contraception rule, Obama sided with "femagogues" and "tramplers of religious rights."
- Malkin said that Obama "has embraced an impulse among the cultural left to display hostility to law enforcement."
- Malkin said Obama seems "far more willing to give the benefit of the doubt to the most virulently anti-American regimes."
- Malkin called Richard Trumka "thug-in-chief at the AFL-CIO" and accused him of a "bloody legacy."
- Malkin accused the Democratic Party and the White House of "racial demagoguery."
Malkin is not the only conservative to launch attacks that are neither "lighthearted" nor "funny":
- Fox's Eric Bolling said that Obama was hosting "hoodlum[s]" in "the hizzouse" after learning that Obama was meeting with the Gabonese president. Bolling later said he was sorry for saying this and had gotten "a little fast and loose with the language."
- Fox's Bill O'Reilly said, "I don't see any difference between [Arianna] Huffington and the Nazis," KKK.
- Rush Limbaugh asserted that Obama has "a huge grievance against this country, a chip on his shoulder," and he wants "to get even."
- The Washington Times' Jeffrey Kuhner called Obama "an anti-Christian, anti-religious bigot" whose "goal is to purge Christianity from civil society, to marginalize religion from the public square."
- Fox's Angela McGlowan said Obama is "Machiavellian" and "a political monster" who is "about self-preservation ... not about this country."
- Ted Nugent called Secretary of State Hillary Clinton a "toxic cunt" and "two-bit whore for Fidel Castro."
- Nugent said Obama is "a piece of shit" who should "suck on my machine gun."
- Fox's Bolling said that Obama was "chugging a few 40's" in Europe instead of responding to the tornados in Joplin, Missouri.
- Bolling falsely claimed that Obama had been a drug dealer. He later wrote on his Twitter feed: "Said yesterday that I thought the President had admitted to buying or selling drugs. I was wrong. And I apologize to him for my mistake"

The Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars and the Mexican Council on Foreign Relations (COMEXI) are pleased to announce the eighth year of the Mexico Public Policy Scholars Program. The objective of the Program is to allow a period of advanced research and a publication about political policy, in order to bring together the academic and policy communities in the United States and in Mexico.
Two scholarships are available, one for the spring period of January 9- June 1, 2012 and the other for the summer period of July 2- August 31, 2012; both are based at the Woodrow Wilson Center in Washington, D.C. The application deadline is September 1, 2011.
The competition is open to high-level professionals, residents in Mexico, in a wide variety of disciplines and sectors (including academia, the media, the business sector, public administration, law, and related fields), who are currently pursuing research on key public policy issues facing Mexico, including Mexico-U.S. relations, which would be enhanced by a period of residence in Washington, D.C.
Applicants must have the terminal degree in their field (for academics, this should be a Ph.D.; for other professionals, this will vary by field). Applicants should be at least 35 years old and have a minimum of eight years of professional or research experience. Preferences will be given to applicants who have published scholarly books or substantial articles in specialized journals.
The selected candidates must be able to obtain a J-1 visa and have a valid passport. The selected candidates should have health insurance that is valid abroad. The Wilson Center can suggest insurance companies that can provide the appropriate health insurance for short-term stays.
The selected candidates will be responsible for the cost of their health insurance and their air and ground transportation. Although scholars are responsible for locating their own housing in the Washington, D.C. area, the Wilson Center provides written material to help facilitate the search process.
Applicants must be fluent in both written and spoken English.
Benefits/Responsibilities of the Program
The scholarship consists of a $5,000 USD per month stipend to cover the costs of housing and food. In addition, the selected candidates will be given an office or library carrel space with a personal computer; they will also have access to the Library of Congress and to specialized libraries and universities in the area.
While at the Wilson Center, the scholarship recipients will be expected to carry out a schedule of rigorous research based on the topic outlined in the research proposal.
They will also be expected to participate in workshops, seminars, and conferences organized by the Wilson Center's Latin American Program and Mexico Institute. In addition, they should participate in the intellectual life of the Wilson Center and of the larger community of Mexico scholars in Washington.
Upon returning to Mexico at the end of their stay, recipients should submit a report about their experience at the Wilson Center and develop a 20- to 30-page essay from their research, which will be jointly published by the sponsoring institutions in English and in Spanish.
Selection Criteria
a) significance of the proposed research, including the originality of the project;
b) quality of the proposal in definition, organization, clarity and depth;
c) capabilities and achievements of the applicant; and
d) relevance of the project to contemporary Mexican public policy and U.S.-Mexico policy issues.
A panel of experts from both institutions will review all applications and make recommendations for appointment to the Wilson Center's president.
Procedures and Deadline for Applications
The application deadline is September 1, 2011. Applicants should submit the following materials electronically to Comexi to firstname.lastname@example.com.
a) a brief (4 - 6 double-spaced pages) description of their proposed research project. Project descriptions should be in English and include:
- a detailed explanation of the research topic;
- a description of the project's originality;
- a description of the methodology, approaches, sources and materials to be used, and, where appropriate, the importance to the research of Washington, D.C. resources; and
- a description of the significance of the project and of its relevance to contemporary Mexican public policy and impact on U.S.-Mexico policy issues.
b) a C.V. or resume (in English)
c) two letters of recommendation (in English)
Applicants should request that the two letters of recommendation be sent to email@example.com. Recommendation letters should address the quality of the research proposal; the capabilities and achievements of the applicant; and the relevance of the project to contemporary Mexican public policy and impact on U.S.-Mexico policy issues.

Actor Henry Winkler Shines in Caregiver Role with Faces of Stroke(SM) Campaign
In Honor of National Family Caregivers Month
CENTENNIAL, Colo., Nov. 5, 2012 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Henry Winkler, actor, director, author and philanthropist, is partnering with National Stroke Association to celebrate caregivers during National Family Caregivers Month this November.
Henry's mother suffered a stroke in 1987 and lived with the results for more than 10 years. Her challenges after her stroke included upper limb spasticity, a debilitating condition which results in uncomfortable muscle stiffness and muscle tightness in the elbow, wrist and fingers. Even though she received extensive therapy, her recovery was minimal and very difficult. Henry watched as she struggled and lost her joy. To date, he feels his most challenging role was being a caregiver to his mother after her stroke. Henry has joined National Stroke Association as part of the Faces of Stroke campaign to remind other caregivers about the importance of their role on the healthcare team. Watch a video of Henry talking about the campaign.
There are more than 65 million family caregivers in the U.S., each with a unique story. Caregivers and family members play a vital role in a stroke survivor's recovery. They're the ones who look after a stroke survivor's needs, which may be emotional, financial, physical, social or practical. Caregivers must strike a balance between taking care of both their loved ones and themselves. They must put their own needs first and protect their own health in order to provide their loved ones with the best care possible. Caregivers can find coping strategies through National Stroke Association's iHOPE: When Caregiving Is Stressful webinar or by connecting with more than 1,700 other caregivers at Careliving(SM) Community, an online community that provides a place for discussion, connection and support.
National Stroke Association launched the Faces of Stroke campaign in 2011, and has supplemented it with new mini-campaigns that delve into specific stroke topics, such as caregiving. Caregivers are—hands down—a vital piece of stroke recovery, which can last a lifetime. But their own health is often overlooked. "National Stroke Association wants to recognize and honor caregivers this month," said Jim Baranski, the organization's chief executive officer. "We hope to hear many more stories about how people of all ages and backgrounds take on this role, voluntarily and involuntarily."
"We believe that stroke survivors and those who play key roles in their lives have the power to influence healthy behaviors through storytelling," said Mr Baranski. "You just have to give them the opportunity. Anyone affected by stroke—no matter the connection—can have a role in raising awareness by telling their stories and sharing them with people they care about."
National Stroke Association's Faces of Stroke public awareness campaign aims to change the public perceptions of stroke through sharing personal stories. The Faces of Stroke campaign features an online gallery of hundreds of stroke champions' stories and photos, an easy-to-use online story submission tool, educational information about stroke and opportunities to share stories socially through Facebook, Twitter and email. Learn more about the campaign at www.stroke.org/faces.
About National Stroke Association
National Stroke Association is the only national organization in the U.S. that focuses 100 percent of its efforts on stroke by developing compelling education and programs focused on prevention, treatment, rehabilitation and support for all impacted by stroke. Founded in 1984, the organization works every day to meet its mission to reduce the incidence and impact of stroke.

New York Knick star Amare Stoudemire reportedly tweeted an anti-gay slur at a fan who had sent him a tweet.
The fan, whose twitter handle is @BFerrelli, tweeted to Stoudemire: "You better come back stronger and quicker to make up for last season." The tweet also had an obscenity at the end of the sentence.
Stoudemire then apparently sent a direct message to @BFerrelli, which included a gay slur and foul language. The fan took a screen capture of the message and tweeted it out for his followers to see. Numerous websites picked up on the incident and reposted the tweet.
Stoudemire then tried to make nice with the fan and sent him another direct message Sunday morning, which featured an apology.
Wrote Stoudemire: "I apologize for what I said earlier. I just got off the plane and had time to think about it. Sorry bro. No Excuses. Won't happen again."
Then fan retweeted that message as well.
The fan later wrote: "@Amareisreal sooo after all this that happened can I get a follow back or tickets to a game lol or is that pushing it?"
An NBA spokesman told Newsday in an email Sunday night that he's confident that the tweets "will be reviewed" by the league.
NBA Commissioner David Stern has recently cracked down on players who make anti-gay comments.
Lakers superstar Kobe Bryant received a $100,000 fine for calling a referee an anti-gay slur in April. A month later, Chicago Bulls center Joakim Noah received a $50,000 fine for shouting an anti-gay slur at a fan who was heckling him.
Soon after those events, the NBA created a public service announcement featuring Grant Hill and Jared Dudley of the Phoenix Suns to educate fans about homophobia.

Various Artists [UpitUp Records] (0 Albums, 0 Tracks)
To celebrate our 10th anniversary we've gathered tracks from the label's legendary contributors and favorite artists into an amazing compilation upfree for free download, as always.
This album goes hand-in-hand with our 10th birthday weekender party in Liverpool!
Founded ten years ago, UpItUp Records is arguably one of the most important labels to ever come out of Liverpool. One of the first places to utilise the internet to its fullest (its releases are downloadable and completely free), it's meant UpItUp has continued to push boundaries on zero budget. And Liverpool's all the better for it.
– Seven Streets / Radar
In a city dominated by guitar music, it's heartening that with passion and talent, a group of electronic artist-promoters are able to not just survive, but prosper. Which is exactly what Upitup Records, founded a decade ago this month, have managed to do.
– The Double Negative
With much of the Liverpool music press lauding the beginning of a so-called "explosion" in electronica, we take a look at UpItUp Records, who have been driving the local scene forward for the last seven odd years.

How much longer can the Fed prop up stocks?
A big driver in the stock market's multiyear bull run is the market-friendly stimulus provided by the nation's central bank. But Wall Street wonders if the Fed can keep propping the market up forever.
NEW YORK — Will the stock market sugar high ever wear off?
Ever since the bull market was born in March 2009, most of the credit for the stock market's spectacular but surprising rise has gone to the Federal Reserve, whose easy-money policies have been equated to performance-enhancing drugs that Wall Street has become addicted to.
The Fed's zero-percent-interest-rate policy, dubbed "ZIRP," and its unprecedented bond-buying program, known as quantitative easing, or QE, is often cited as the major engine behind the market's 136% rise the past four years and its fast-and-furious 12% gain so far in 2013.
The Fed's policy playbook has driven interest rates and borrowing costs to record lows, which has spurred risk-taking, allowed consumers to get their finances back on track and enabled Corporate America to keep churning out profits. Super-low interest rates on cash and bonds have also made the stock market, which now sports a fatter dividend yield than the 10-year U.S. Treasury note, a far more attractive investment alternative relative to fixed income.
"To get any kind of return and build wealth you have to take risk, and the risky investment people know best is stocks," says Bill Hornbarger, chief investment strategist at Moneta Group.
But how long can the Fed prop up the stock market? Likely for a good time longer. The Fed said Wednesday it would continue on its current path of buying $85 billion in Treasuries and mortgage-backed bonds each month until the unemployment situation improves substantially. For the first time the Fed also said it could increase the pace of bond purchases if inflation remains tame and the job and economic recovery sputters.
The Fed's fresh language and signs of another economic soft patch have shifted the debate from when will the Fed take its foot off the stimulus pedal to maybe they will do more if needed. The Fed's strategy coincides with similar easy-money policies from central bankers in Europe and Japan.
The stock market is likely to continue to push higher or at least find a floor under it, Hornbarger says, as long as the Fed keeps rates at 0%, the economy keeps growing and companies continue to eke out earnings growth.
Perversely, due to the Fed's "all-in" mentality, stocks could also get a boost if economic data turn down, adds Nicholas Sargen, an investment strategist at Fort Washington Advisors. "If we get bad news on the economy, investors will say, 'Hey, the Fed is in play even longer,'" he says.
What worries Sargen, however, is that the Fed is increasingly cited by investors as the only reason why they're buying. "It could set the market up for disappointment," he says, adding that he would like to see stocks rise because of improving business fundamentals, such as stronger sales.
The market's rise is all due to the Fed's "smoke and mirrors," warns Richard Suttmeier, chief market strategist at ValuEngine.com. 'It's a mirage. It will end. You just don't know when." Fed sentiment will turn, he says, when companies start falling short on earnings projections on a consistent basis, signaling that the Fed's policies are not helping the economy heal fast enough.

See-through cabins and passenger pods: Is this the future of flight?
By Katie Pisa and Tracey Hobbs, for CNN • Updated 5th June 2014
The disruptive days of thunderous, fuel-guzzling planes hovering in our skies could be a thing of the past. So too could the tortuous queues and endless boarding process, if futuristic flight concepts become reality.
Since the first commercial passenger flight in 1914, 65 billion passengers have taken to the skies and another 65 billion are expected to do the same before 2030. And experts say efficient, greener performance is what will steer aviation into the next century.
Read: How airlines make 'less than $6 per passenger'
"A major breakthrough in an airliner will bring half a percent, 1% greater fuel efficiency, which doesn't sound like much -- but to an airline, it's huge. It's millions of dollars (in savings) a year," said Robert van der Linden, chair and curator of air transportation at the
Smithsonian Institution National Air and Space Museum.
The Airbus A380 is the world's biggest passenger aircraft, and its future depends on constant redevelopment and improving performance.
The energy problem is one of the major drivers for the company, Gregor Dirks, corporate innovator for Airbus, told CNN's Isa Soares. "We have to do something about it. Reducing fuel burn is one way, and we have been very successful in the past."
As commercial aviation celebrates its 100th anniversary, CNN looks at the risks and rewards that defined the industry.
From its World War II roots to its decades in commercial aviation, Jonathan Mann looks at the legendary Douglas DC-3.
The Airbus vision of the future can be seen through its concept plane design, which is packed with the stuff made of engineering dreams.
Read: How cool is the airplane of the future?
One concept feature is dubbed "eco-climb," where take off is assisted by propelled acceleration for a steeper climb, so that planes reach efficient cruise altitudes sooner. In the concept cabin, seats will use body heat to power aircraft systems such as holographic pop-up pods, while a futuristic cabin membrane can become transparent to give passengers open panoramic views.
What's more, Airbus has radical ideas for speedier boarding.
"We could think about city center check-in and actually transport little pods to the airport where the passengers are already in and just slide the pod into the airplane," said Dirks.
Some of the full-blown features of the Airbus concept plane will become a reality later this century, according to Dirks, but parts of the vision are already being implemented in the current fleet. Titanium brackets used in the cabin have been made using 3-D printing, reducing the weight of the parts, and allowing the manufacture of "organic" shapes that would otherwise be too expensive to produce.
"This is going to be a big revolution in manufacturing," predicted Dirks. "Passengers won't see it much but they get more choice and they got it cheaper and earlier."

Why yoga?
Guest article by Dharmapriya
I can just hear some people saying, "Isn't meditation enough? Why do I have to do yoga as well?" Well, you don't. But maybe you want to. Or at least consider practicing some yoga, if you are serious about trying out meditation.
Why? Well, for a start you have a body, and it does not go away in meditation. So consider the following.
Yoga helps with meditation posture
Usually we sit upright when we meditate. Sounds simple enough, but it isn't quite as easy. How often do we actually really sit upright in everyday life? And if we do, then that rarely lasts more than a couple of minutes before we get up, move, fidget…
But to meditate we want to sit quietly upright, erect, poised, our chest open – and at the same time relaxed. It is wonderful to sit like that, but we need to practice sitting like that, and it requires both flexibility and back strength. Yoga helps develop the back muscles so one's posture is naturally more upright and so one can hold it far longer in comfort.
But why flexibility to sit up straight? Well, often our shoulders, chest, neck or back are stiff, which means we fight against ourselves physically to sit erect. Yoga postures make the muscles in these areas more pliable.
Naturally you do not need to sit in Lotus to meditate, but a lot of people do like to sit with some sort or cross-legs. To do this you need movement in your groins and hips if you do not want to damage your knees over time.
Yoga gives energy for meditation
To meditate we need energy, and Iyengar yoga frees up lots of it! But some people may say, "I've got too much energy, so sitting still – or staying with the meditation practice – is difficult." Yoga helps here too, since it does not just liberate energy. It opens up the right kind of energy.
It is no coincidence that yoga postures are seen as a prerequisite for meditation in some Indian traditions. How is that? They develop the appropriate energy, partly since they work subtly on the psychophysical organism. But at least as important is the beneficial manner of practising yoga, namely with awareness – being present in the body and posture, or at least trying to!
Yoga acts as a transition to meditation
We need to refine our energies to meditate. Just imagine racing home from work after an argument with your boss, only to find the neighbor's stereo blaring so loudly they can't hear you hammering on their door: you'll have lots of energy, but it's probably far too crude for meditation. You need to refine it first. And this you can do with the yoga, starting with strong poses and working your way to calmer ones before you try to do sitting practice. In fact even without upsets, our minds are usually in a crude state that isn't so conducive to meditation. And yoga helps refine it.
Yoga is an method of personal development
We can speak of meditation as the direct method of working on our mind, since we work on the mind with the mind itself when we do a meditation practice. But there are other opportunities to develop our consciousness that use other aspects of our life and being, such as interaction with other human beings, our normal behavour, and our body. These are indirect methods of working on the mind, affecting it via something else.
Yoga is one such indirect method, powerfully affecting the mind through the body. This it does not only by freeing up and refining energy as already mentioned but also by helping us cultivate mindfulness, which is crucial for our spiritual development in general and specifically necessary for meditation.
It's hard to be aware of what the subtle elements of our experience are doing if we aren't aware of what relatively substantial parts of our experience (like the body) are doing. This body awareness is traditionally regarded as the first foundation of mindfulness.
Yoga helps us get in touch with our feelings and emotions
How often do you have to say, "I don't know", when someone asks, "How are you?" and you want to be honest? Well, yoga does not just enhance our physical awareness. Through the body we can become far more aware of what we are feeling.
There are forms of psychotherapy that depend on body-work to contact deeper feelings. Well, yoga is not therapy, but it certainly helps to get in contact with your feelings!
In the modern world most of us use our bodies primarily in a more-or-less automatic manner to service labor-saving devices at home or at work or in a limited way for pleasure. Our experience of the body is usually restricted to our head, chest, belly, and genitals – unless we have pains somewhere else. Yoga helps us extend our experience into the back, hips, legs, and – very important indeed! – the feet.
It's no coincidence that the most fundamental posture in Iyengar yoga is "Mountain Pose," just standing on your own two feet, grounded like a mountain. (In fact, you can learn to ground yourself more and more.)
By learning to feel the back half of the body and the lower half of the body, it may even seem like you're discovering your body for the first time. And you feel – physical, energetic, and emotional sensations.
When you are more experienced, you can even develop more positive, subtler, or more pleasant emotions through your programor emphasis. For example, strong intensive backward bends done carefully and with awareness can bring out strong and kind feelings of joy. Or sequences of forward bends held for a long time can bring calm and peace.
Yoga really helps you discover what your emotions are, which is increasingly important for us modern people, who are not exactly famous for knowing what we feel unless it is of an overwhelming character. But self-knowledge is necessary for meditation: to work appropriately in meditation, you have to know what is happening inside you.
Over time when we meditate, we churn up the contents of our mind; this is not always pleasant. In fact, it can be quite disturbing. Iyengar yoga can strengthen our emotional robustness (for example, the intensive practice of standing poses).
Yoga is health-giving
We want to enjoy good health, and to meditate it certainly helps to be as healthy as possible. Yoga definitely improves our health. In the years before starting yoga, I suffered more and more from headaches and got colds easily. Within a few months of doing yoga, the frequency of both ailments dropped drastically. Such experience is common. You can meditate with a running nose, a sore throat, and a massive headache, but it is a lot easier without. And let's face it: it's a lot more fun to be healthy!
Yoga is fun!
Yes, yoga can be a lot of fun. I enjoy it so much that I've been doing it daily since 1975. It's great to experience yourself more and more as an integrated psychophysical whole, energy flowing, trying out new and old challenges, growing all the time. And we need pleasure. If we don't get it in the spiritual life, we'll go out looking for it ways that won't exactly help our meditation practice. So why not try yoga?

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Lipscomb pitcher Tanner Sanders is getting her share of recognition in the second week of the season.
In addition to being named Atlantic Sun Pitcher of the Year this past week for her 3-0 performance, including two shutouts at the Getterman Classic at Baylor, Sanders has garnered some national notice as well.
Sanders, a sophomore right-hander from Flintville, Tenn., has been named to the "Primetime Performers" Weekly Honor Roll by the College Softball 360 website and was a "Selected Top Performer" by the National Fastpitch Coaches Association.
Sanders shutout Iowa and then No. 14-ranked Baylor and also came on in relief to stop UAB. She is 5-0 with three complete games and a 1.48 earned run average for the Lady Bisons this season.
"Any time we get some individual recognition early on in a season it is recognition of how our team is doing," Ryman said. "Tanner has played a crucial role in what we have been doing, but it is a reflection of what we are doing as a team and the fight in our team right now."
Ryman also points to third baseman Paige Neely who is batting .500 and to left fielder Brianne Welch and catcher Rena' Cothron who are batting .333 and .318 respectively.
The strong start for Sanders has been crucial since she was sidelined for most of the fall with an injury after putting together a strong freshman year. Ryman wanted Sanders to work with new pitching coach Megan Rhodes Smith and become an even stronger force this spring.
"When Tanner had the injury and missed every fall and most of the fall pitching work, it kind of put a damper on things," Ryman said. "It was really important for her, more from a mentality standpoint, to come out and have a great start like she has had this season.
"It is easy for you to feel good about yourself from a confidence standpoint, how you are helping the team and how they are playing behind you. She is feeling confidence. It is easier to go out and do your thing. Again I think that is reflective on how our team is playing."
