schmitt_N_motivation_mcm707 - Google Docs
Motivation "is an internal generator that only you can turn on or off." (McDonald, 2009). Self reflection can reveal an individual's level of motivation. It is important to understand whether you are "present" and "in the moment" or if you're coasting or on auto-pilot. Equally important is the perception a person give off. Do others see you as motivated? The psychology of humans has shown that even acting as if you are motivated "actually make you feel better and become more motivated." (McDonald, 2009). That's you - what about others? You can't crawl in someones head to reveal their level of motivation. What can be done is to lay out scenarios where motivational opportunities are present. When asked about motivation, workers wanted these opportunities to include: smaller meaningful tasks with shorter time frames, increasing responsibility, recognition of accomplished work and opportunities for advancement.

Stimulus forces Ohio city to rethink future
Stimulus forces Ohio city to rethink futureNELSONVILLE, Ohio (AP)
—A small city that created a niche for itself as a hub for Appalachian artists is coming to grips with its stake in President Barack Obama's economic stimulus package.
The state highway department's biggest stimulus investment — $150 million to complete a highway bypass around Nelsonville in southeast Ohio — is challenging business leaders to prevent the city from becoming invisible once construction is completed in 2012.
The new four-lane highway on U.S. Route 33 will give motorists from Columbus, Ohio, to the Charleston, W.Va., area a faster option but threatens to divert potential shoppers from the eclectic mix of art studios, galleries and crafts stores downtown.
"There are a lot of questions, a lot of unknowns," said Jennifer L'Heureux, who owns a pottery store in Nelsonville, where country singer Willie Nelson headlined this summer's music festival.
The bypass is among about 210 state transportation projects scheduled to get $774 million in federal stimulus money.
Although construction on the highway began in 2007, work on the final two phases was put on hold because of state funding problems. Transportation officials took money from Obama's $787 billion stimulus plan, signed in February to jolt the economy, and put the project on a fast track, galvanizing residents into action.
At a July 27 chamber of commerce meeting, merchants stressed the need to step up marketing — billboards, for example — so motorists know the city is a destination, not a detour, said Susan Holmes, owner of Nelsonville Quilt Co.
The Ohio Department of Transportation has agreed to erect road signs on the bypass that alert drivers to the business route. Some merchants question whether more advertising is needed, and the city is working with Heritage Ohio Inc., a nonprofit group that helps communities with business recruitment, marketing strategies and fundraising.
Merchants in St. Peter, Minn., voiced similar concerns about a drop in business when work began in July on a stimulus-funded project to rebuild and widen a highway that runs through downtown.
Nelsonville, a city of 5,000 tucked amid rolling hills of Appalachia, saw its fortunes decline with the demise of the area's coal mining industry, and by the 1990s many storefronts in the public square were empty.
Then a 19th-century opera house reopened, and landlords agreed to subsidize rent for artists needing studios.
In return for the subsidy, artists agreed to put sweat equity into renovating the Victorian-era buildings, framed by red-brick facades. Within five years, downtown occupancy rates jumped from 25 percent to 85 percent and included coffee shops and restaurants, said Angie Hawk Maiden, president of the Appalachian Center for Economic Networks.
Old wood-framed houses near town are still neglected, but the arts district, with an ornate water fountain at its center, helps draw tourists, as does Nelsonville's other attractions.
The city is surrounded by Wayne National Forest and is home to a popular scenic railway, and footwear company Rocky Brands Inc. operates a large outlet store. The city doesn't track tourism dollars, but those are some of the most popular tourist attractions in Athens County, the county convention and visitors agency said.
So the bypass is a touchy subject for some people.
"I'm not sure how prepared anyone is to deal with it," said Dee Dee Loge, whose family owns a glass company in town. "But it's coming whether people like it or not, so it's up to us to make sure we give drivers a reason to stop."
Many civic leaders support the highway project because Route 33 — one of Ohio's busiest truck routes — shrinks to two lanes when it hits Nelsonville, creating a bottleneck of semitrailers, said City Council President Kevin Dotson.
The bypass would send those trucks out of town, relieve congestion around nearby Hocking College and reduce traffic accidents.
The new route also could lead to economic development — coal, lumber and trucking industries in Appalachia need reliable infrastructure, said David Rose, a spokesman with the state transportation department.
About half of the nine-mile bypass runs through the national forest, and about 360 acres of trees were cleared for the right-of-way.
Environmental groups that oppose the project have largely given up, and the use of stimulus dollars to push it through adds salt to the wound, Sierra Club member Loraine McCosker said.
"There won't even be a slow-zone through the forest," she said.
The state, however, will install culverts under the highway so deer can have a safe place to cross, and a pipe under the road will allow snakes and other small wildlife to cross.
At this point, despite some lingering misgivings about the bypass, it's time to treat it as an opportunity to put Nelsonville on a path to a new future, Hawk Maiden said.
"We have to get down to action," she said. "We don't have time to sit around and complain."

Michigan
We made our trek last night to New Buffalo. It feels odd and unsettling to leave the house after Tuesday's incident but there's no choice. The DVD player is a great way to satiate Rowan in the van. I'm jealous. I'd love to kick back, watch a few movies, nap, listen to some music, etc. Holden? Not so much - he's as antsy as I am to get out of the van and run around.

Nice thought but this result is wrong. I finished behind Doug in 11th. But thanks for helping my ego. Can't wait to race again.
When Doug and I showed up to the Troy race, nearly the first thing we saw was a racer, unconscious on the ground, being attended to by an ambulance. Great. We registered and received our info packet and race number. Being late in the season, I hadn't applied for a US Cycling #, so I had to pay an additional 1 day license fee of $10.
While the JRs were finishing up, I reconnoitered the course briefly. Once the race was finished, the judges gave us time for one lap around the course. Wow - there are a lot of turns.
They called us to the line and while I was nervous, my heart rate wasn't going too crazy. The judge gave out a few quick details and shouted "Bang!" - the race was underway.
24 riders, no one with that much experience. If they had experience, they would be racing CAT 4. Nice gentle push off and with surround sound of pedals clicking into place, the group heads for turn one. Nice and easy. There's some communicating in the pack to let racers know that they're on the inside or outside of another racer. I'm not one of them. I'm very tightlipped. But hearing the chatter reminds me to communicate.
The laps start to tick off. The pace, while not easy, is definitely not hard. I grab onto a wheel and
keep my position until that rider starts to fall back. I spot another rider and make the jump. Sometimes I'm near the front, other times, I'm near the back - but always with the main group. Rounding the fountain is a bit tricky. Nearly 270 degrees of turning and you have to stay on your line. After the fountain is a long straightaway. The pace always got high here. And of course, the wind is hitting right in the face - so I was always looking to ride someone's wheel - except for lap 10. For some reason, the peloton (hardly but it's nice to say) wasn't going its usual quick pace. Everyone sorta slowed down. I found myself riding at a comfortable pace, on the inside of the group, about halfway back with a clear shot right up the line. I had about three seconds to think about it and thought "this is the only workout you're doing today, you'd better make it a good one." So I took it.
I reached down on the drop bars, popped into a bigger gear and just gunned it right past the grandstand and all of the other racers. I knew they'd jump on me but I had nothing to lose.(except the race and I wasn't going to win that anyhow) Two thoughts crept into my mind 1) holy crap it's fun to go fast and in the lead and 2) I have no idea how to corner going this fast but luckily I get whatever line I want.
It felt amazing.
It also only lasted about one lap. I ran out of gas. Right about the same place, another rider guned it up the outside, leaving me in a whimpering, thigh burning heap. Didn't matter. It was totally fun.
I squeezed everything I could out of my legs and clung to the back of the lead group. The finishers sprinted it out. I dug in and gave whatever I could to the sprint, ending a few seconds after the leaders. My chest was feeling the pains of going anaerobic but I loved it. Not exactly the best way to lead into an Olympic triathlon the next morning, but certainly a way to get addicted to criterium racing.

The mighty Jesus Lizard return to Chicago for Pitchfork festival | Turn It Up - A guided tour through the worlds of pop, rock and rap:
"The mighty Jesus Lizard return to Chicago for Pitchfork festival"
"The mighty Jesus Lizard return to Chicago for Pitchfork festival"
For most of the ‘90s, the best live band anywhere was the Jesus Lizard. Their cut-throat music may not have been for everyone, but the Chicago quartet’s performances were everything a rock ‘n’ roll show should be: a spontaneous blast of personality in which anything could happen, and often did.
So when the Jesus Lizard set foot on a Chicago stage next Friday at the Pitchfork Music Festival for the first time in more than a decade, singer David Yow, guitarist Duane Denison, bassist David Wm. Sims and drummer Mac McNeilly will have a certain standard to uphold.
“I want to live up to that,” says Yow, the band’s primary on-stage provacateur. “I’ve been hitting the gym pretty hard.”
What’s the world coming to? David Yow working out?
“We’re thinking of calling ourselves The Old Jesus Lizard,” he says. “But the main objective is to play these songs as good as we possibly can.”
The type of nostalgia that leads to reunions has never been part of the Jesus Lizard mind set. As Denison says, “We wanted to be the one band that didn’t do a reunion. It almost feels like a cliché for bands to do the reunion thing and do an album, and most of them aren’t that great.”
But it turns out the band felt it had some unfinished business.
In its 1987-99 lifetime, the Jesus Lizard ripped it up on several continents, played hundreds of shows, recorded a half-dozen studio albums and left behind a legacy that still brings involuntary smiles to the faces of those who were there when Yow threw himself into harm’s way. Nirvana were such huge fans that they cut a split single with the Jesus Lizard in 1993.
The music didn’t just have teeth, it snarled; the riffs concocted by Denison and Sims were thick with menace and tattooed themselves on the subconscious, the kind of sound you’d imagine hearing in a bad dream or a slasher movie. The heavy-hitting McNeilly somehow made it all swing, the indie-rock answer to Led Zeppelin’s John Bonham. And Yow was one of a kind: jester, exhibitionist, instigator, daredevil. He suffered broken ribs, was knocked unconscious and tried to set himself on fire, all in the name of rock ‘n’ roll -- truly the greatest show on two legs.
The quartet’s reputation and record sales expanded through the decade. But after McNeilly quit in 1997 to stay home with his young family (he now has three children) and was replaced by Jim Kimball, the band was never really the same. Two years later it played a final show in Sweden, and then drifted apart.
“I had told an interviewer earlier in the day that there was a good chance it could be our last show,” Yow says of the 1999 concert. “And when we performed the last song, I felt privy to a secret that no one in the room knew. It had become a job; we should’ve called it quits when Mac left the band.”
Yow settled in Los Angeles, where he worked in computer graphics and then began playing with the band Qui. Denison ended up in Nasvhille, Tenn., where he has continued to play music in several bands, most recently the Legendary Shack Shakers. And Sims wound up in New York, where he practiced accounting and dabbled in home recording projects.
Denison says the notion of a reunion had been discussed off and on for a few years, but didn’t gain any traction until the band got an offer from avant-rocker Mike Patton and the Melvins to play a festival they were curating last year in England. The Jesus Lizard couldn’t make the date last year, but when it was discovered that everyone in the band’s original lineup was interested, the foursome scheduled some rehearsals last January at Denison’s Nashville studio.
“It’s a very flat and dry-sounding room, there is no fooling yourself, and David Yow was a little put off the first day because we didn’t sound that good,” Denison says. “But it kept getting better.”
For Yow, the reunion with his old friends and Humboldt Park apartment mates was emotional. He hadn’t seen McNeilly since he left the band; the drummer was in many ways his closest friend in the original lineup.
“When we first saw each other, we hugged for two minutes and giggled like a couple of kids,” Yow says. Performing with McNeilly, Sims and Denison on stage at the first Jesus Lizard reunion show last May at the All Tomorrow’s Parties Festival in England led to another epiphany: “I was really nervous at first and throwing up backstage before we went on. I hadn’t planned on taking my shirt off. But within the first 10 seconds, it was off and I was in the audience and we were in it. I swear to God it was the playing that did it.”
Denison agrees. “It was intense, emotional. None of us will ever have that again. There wasn’t a dry eye in the house, especially from our side of the stage.”
The band’s longtime label, Chicago indie Touch & Go, will punctuate the reunion by reissuing the band’s first four studio albums with bonus material in September. Denison hopes it will prompt a reassessment of the band’s legacy.
“Back in the day, we were primarily known for the live show,” he says. “The albums got a decent critical response and sold well from an indie perspective, but we never got that much respect as songwriters and arrangers. But those albums have legs; they’re showing up on a lot of lists of the best albums of the ‘90s.”
Less clear is what the band will do once its string of approximately 50 reunion shows is capped off by a multi-night stand in Chicago around Thanksgiving.
“When we played our first show ever as a band, we knew it wouldn’t last forever,” Yow says. “This is much more ephemeral. I never thought this would happen, so I’ve learned never to say never.”

hypebot: Pandora Forces $29.95 Payments From Indie Bands
hypebot: Pandora Forces $29.95 Payments From Indie Bands
UPDATED) Until recently, Pandora accepted music from indie artists at no cost in almost any form including home burned CD-R's. But now, in part because of a deal to display album cover art via Amazon's servers, submissions must be available as a physical CD for sale on Amazon and include cover art and a UPC code to even be considered for airplay.
Compliance with the new rules will cost artists in several ways. According to its FAQ page, to get play on Pandora you now need:
* Cd many a CD of your music
* a unique UPC code for that CD
* your CD to be available through Amazon (must be a physical CD, not just MP3s for download)
* the legal rights to your music
* MP3 files for two of the songs from your CD
* free Pandora account, based on a valid email address, which can be associated with your music
In addition to art and packaging costs, Pandora explains that to comply with the new "available through Amazon" rule, indie artists should join the Amazon Advantage Program. Membership costs $29.95 each year plus Amazon takes 55% of the list price of every CD sold.
Established artists and labels already comply with Pandora's new rules. But for an indie artist trying to win new fans with a little help from Pandora and to keep his hard earned cash by selling direct, the new threshold may shut off an important avenue for exposure.

(First - there's some questionable times/places represented on the overall list. For instance, someone whose swim time is logged as "blank", rode at 19.9mph and ran a 9:11 mile is third overall? I don't think so. There's at least one more questionable time)
Swim - long wait times between waves. I'm ok with that though, thinned out the crowds and made for an easier swim.
I had thought this swim through last night laying in bed, so I was mentally prepared. My plan was to count strokes to 200. Take them nice and easy and take as many breaths as I needed - really without regard to racing. I wanted to avoid any sense of stress or panic and that's exactly how it went down. I think I got to about 150 and felt great. On one breath, I gulped a ton of water when I was supposed to be breathing air due to a splashy swimmer next to me, but one stroke of breaststroke and I was back underway.
Once I settled in, I was able to concentrate on my stroke, on breathing, pulling, reaching - all of the necessary items for a good swim. My sighting went well and I feel I swam a pretty good line, especially for as little pool time as I've put in.
Rank for the swim: 63/425
Swim time: 15:51
Distance: supposedly half mile
Improvements: 1) Getting over the first race hurdle without any stress or panic is huge.
2) More time in the pool. This is tricky cos I'm usually training for longer swims, not shorter sprints.
T1 - getting a wetsuit off my ankles never goes easy. sigh. I had mentally planned T1 when I set up and that worked really for me. Helmet, glasses, socks - shoes were already on the bike.
Bike - I really felt I put everything in to this bike. I got passed by about six riders, otherwise, I was passing a lot. Nice rollers, no huge hills. Two very touchy turns though. I scrapped a pedal on one and felt my back tire skid on another. Whew!
I had not ridden this course before, so I didn't really know what to expect. I don't think I really left anything out on the course.
Rank on bike: 46/415
Bike Time: 52:35
Avg MPH: 21.2
T2 - I thought this went well. Shoes were left on the bike, speed laces were in my running shoes but not until late last night.
Run - Obviously to me, this is my weak link. Where I can push and grind and burn my legs on the bike, I'm just not at a point where I can send my body into overload on the run. The run starts with a several hundred yard run on pavement before it heads onto the grass and into the woods. I quite enjoyed this trail running. Sharp turns, rolling gradient - makes for an interesting run at least. This didn't last long though as the run pops out on the Alum Creek dam, for the rest of the out and back. Seeing the first mile marker sign was pretty uplifting. I had just got my legs feeling normal, so I know I was able to push just a little bit. My half marathon pace is over a minute slower. Hm? I caught up with COTT Pres. Stephanie on the run. Didn't have much to say so I know I was running at least fairly hard. Also caught someone in my age group and
Rank on run portion- 118/412
Run time 25:23
Pace: 8:12
Improvements: My routine is to settle in for a comfortable run, rather than pushing my heart rate, pushing my lactate threshold.
Overall 1:36:37
Place: tied with 3 others at 54/412 finishers
Age Group: 10/50
Bonus Feature Food Item at Finish Line: Yellow watermelon. Odd - tasted like regular watermelon but it was a pale yellow rather than pink/red. yum.
As CL says, "Holden is done."

rocking the stationary bike
yea! These bikes are hard for me to ride. The seats are too big, the handlebars up too high. But I made do.

The 10 Commandments of Social Media | The Ten Commandments Of Social Media | Fast Company
The 10 Commandments of Social Media | The Ten Commandments Of Social Media | Fast Company
As an author of The Social Media Bible, I am often asked, "What do I need to do engage my company, my products, and myself in social media?" The answer is easy: participate. Get out there and get involved. If you aren't in the game, you can't win. Here's your Ten Commandments or things you need to be doing to get in and win with social media.
1. Thou Shalt Blog (like crazy).
2. Thou Shalt Create Profiles (everywhere).
3. Thou Shalt Upload Photos (lots of them).
4. Thou Shalt Upload Videos (all you can find).
5. Thou Shalt Podcast (often).
6. Thou Shalt Set Alerts (immediately).
7. Thou Shalt Comment (on a multitude of blogs).
8. Thou Shalt Get Connected (with everyone).
9. Thou Shalt Explore Social Media (30 minutes per week).
10. Thou Shalt Be Creative (go forth and create creatively)!
Commandments 1. Thou Shalt Blog (like crazy)
Blog. Please. That's the first priority. Set up a blog, a personal blog, a business blog. It's easier than you think. Use an existing blogging site such as Blogger.com or GOingOn.com or install your own branded blogging site right on your own server by using WordPress. And, WordPress is free.
Commandments 2. Thou Shalt Create Profiles (everywhere)
Create your profiles; do it now before someone else takes them. Once they are gone, they are gone forever. That's called cyber squatting. So get out there. Use Open Social to make filling in your profiles as easy as a click of a button.
Commandments 3. Thou Shalt Upload Photos (lots of them)
Upload photographs. You've got them. Don't upload the one with you with a lampshade on your head…counterproductive; but other photographs? Absolutely. Customers want to see and participate. You want to give people a face to go with your company.
Commandments 4. Thou Shalt Upload Videos (all you can find)
Videos. You all have got videos. I don't care whether it's training videos or customer videos, grab your video camera and go interview some of your customers. What's better than seeing your customer's smiley face on your Web site? And it doesn't cost anything.
Commandments 5. Thou Shalt Podcast (often)
Podcast. If you're too cheap to get a camera, use the free audio software that's in your computer. That's what I did. I created 48 audio podcasts. If you take the podcasts I did for my book and played them back-to-back, they run 24 continuous hours of interviews. You can do that. It's free. It just takes time.
Commandments 6. Thou Shalt Set Alerts (immediately)
Set alerts. People are talking about you. You probably need to know what they are saying and you want to participate.
Commandments 7. Thou Shalt Comment (on a multitude of blogs)
Comment. Commenting is like going to a cocktail party. You wouldn't walk into a networking event, walk up to a group of people talking, and tell them your name and what you do in your business. That would be rude and unacceptable. Listen first. Read the blogs and add comments. You can be controversial, that's okay. But participate. Get involved.
Commandments 8. Thou Shalt Get Connected (with everyone)
Get LinkedIn. Put it in your email that you have a LinkedIn account, you have a FaceBook account, and that you have a Twitter account. Make it a part of your heading on your letterhead, because that's how you propagate. That's how you sell it.
Commandments 9. Thou Shalt Explore Social Media (30 minutes per week)
Explore social media. Give me thirty minutes a week, that's all I'm asking. Friday morning grab your coffee, lock yourself in your office, and give me thirty minutes. Just Google something. I promise you within the first 30 days you will be excited. You'll be as excited as I am. You will get excited because of the ROI.
Commandments 10. Thou Shalt Be Creative (go forth and create creatively)
And the most important commandment is creativity. That's all. It's just creativity and having fun. But you know what, that's what your customers want. They want to see transparency. They want to see authenticity. They want to see you having fun. They want to be able to relate and communicate.

The USSR had their famous “Five-Year Plans” to provide guidance for economic development and industrial growth. I have taken this type of planning for my own life and I believe it’s helped me to make informed, mature decisions on who I want to be, where I want to go and how I want to get there.
The return to school comes at a time when I’m ready and eager to receive new information - when I’m comfortable in my position to take on new tasks and when my personal life is able to withstand the pressure of juggling multiple roles. The strive for an additional degree is about continuing to develop my creative and entrepreneurial side while expanding my knowledge in an area in which I’ve dabbled, but received no formal training. As an educator, I look forward to the opportunity to evaluate my own practices, grow my own “brand” and take on additional responsibilities at my institution. Finally, I hope to expand my potential, both to my employers and myself.
