Considerremoving yourself. Depending on how severe the mistake you made is, you may have to remove yourself from the negotiation. This becomes particularly evident when self-created mayhem erodes trust with the other side. If the other side no longer trusts you, getting a deal done becomes far more difficult. However, removing yourself from the negotiation may give your team a better chance to get the deal done. This is even more important when things become too emotional or personal.

In college, I had a job as a buyer for a small gaming retailer. One of the things I sourced was dice for role-playing games. These games were gaining popularity, and players wanted cool dice to use. Demand was high, and I had one job: buy dice!


We noted previously in our March issue, without question these are fascinating times for most colleges and universities. And this year things are even more exacerbated by the continued FAFSA delay and the impact it is not only having on prospective students and families along with current students and families, but also the personnel in financial aid and admission offices. Adding the continuous concern and consternation that is lingering in the minds of higher education leaders who already know about the decline in the number of prospective students, questions about affordability, and the necessity to convey the inherent value of attending college, the 2024 recruitment and retention year is definitely full of unsolicited mental and emotional madness that is creating even more misery and magnifying more mayhem for the future of so many colleges and universities. And as we have noted previously about the changing landscape facing private higher education (and public, too), these are definitely changing times.


In a bit of irony, a new book about higher education recently came out and Inside Higher Ed interviewed the author, Stephen Burd. His book, Lifting the Veil on Enrollment Management, has some good, relevant insights and yet, we have recently heard from so many chief enrollment officers who are in disagreement with many of his conclusions. Burd is authentically capturing a certain type of college or university that is definitely overlooking things that are so relevant to consideration and selection, but most of our clients and other colleges and universities have been completely open to welcoming and accepting most students and ironically, most are from geographic areas in fairly close proximity to where the college is located. Affordability is definitely an important variable today including no debt, along with internships, student life, graduation rates, and proximity to future job opportunities. And these variables are serving as an authentic catalyst for higher education leaders to recognize that today enrollment revenues can no longer sustain most institutions. Other resources have become a necessity.


The primary supplementary resource that colleges and universities must embrace to alleviate the lingering misery and mayhem that is continuously growing among so many higher ed institutions is fundraising. Several colleges and universities have recognized this and initiated significant gifts via generous alumni and friends. The impact is significant and fosters a stronger, more vibrant college that generates even more attention and interest.


Howell has turned up lately looking even older than his 46 years (health problems, non-drug-related), in TV series "Southland" and "Criminal Minds." Not to mention more than 90 movie credits since his 1983 breakthrough role as "Ponyboy."


It's a thoroughly minor film shot quickly and inexpensively near the former Dino De Laurentiis studios in Wilmington, N.C. If it weren't for the presence of Howell, and a cute rising star named Lindsey McKeon, this quickie wouldn't signify more than a ripple in the show business pond.


Howell plays a deputy sheriff who lives beneath a decommissioned jail that's suddenly and temporarily filled with a handful of inmates. The deputy has odd and violent flashbacks (or are they flashforwards?) about the cells, and then begins killing off the prisoners one at a time. It's hard to fault a murderous movie for not including enough blood and guts, but more gore or explicit mayhem might have elevated this flick into effective slasher territory.


Without it, we viewers are left with little to admire but some shifty editing designed to cover for lack of stunt work. Howell phones it all in, apparently confident Hollywood casting directors won't notice this inconsequential fluff. And McKeon, a great-looking actress wasted in an improbable (how'd a woman get jailed within view of the male inmates?) situation, can get back to TV roles like her appearances on "One Tree Hill" and "House M.D." "The Jailhouse" proves that even with veteran performers, not all those overlooked independent films are hidden gems.


Legally speaking, mayhem refers to the gruesome crime of deliberately causing an injury that permanently disfigures another. The name derives via Middle English from the Anglo-French verb maheimer ("to maim") and is probably of Germanic origin; the English verb maim comes from the same ancestor. The disfigurement sense of mayhem first appeared in English in the 15th century. By the 19th century the word had come to mean any kind of violent behavior; nowadays, mayhem can be used to suggest any kind of chaos or disorder, as in "there was mayhem in the streets during the citywide blackout."


The Mayhem 150 is built for fast and confident descenders who want to climb faster and cover more ground, because every extra summit bagged is another thrilling descent gained. The 150 is for riders who have been ripping on a 130 for a few seasons and want to attack more aggressive terrain, and for riders with sluggish six-inch-travel bikes that climb like donkeys but who want to sprint.


We added a Geometry Adjuster that lets riders slacken the head tube angle and lower the bottom bracket for stability in high speed turns. A super-low top tube provides easy stand-over clearance and a short seat tube accommodates longer dropper posts. The 150 shows that the only thing better than causing some mayhem is causing even more.


The forward portion of the top tube is shaped to quietly communicate and diffuse the large compressive forces this area of the bike absorbs, while the rearward portion is slimmed to handle the smaller forces delivered through the seat tube. The upper control link has been designed to deliver superb suspension response, precise shock control and excellent torsional stiffness, all while minimizing stress on the seat tube structure.


The twin-strut rear swingarm supports the crucial connections between the front and rear triangles and manages the intense energetic loads generated by the rear wheel, while remaining slim and compact for reduced un-sprung inertia. The main pivot yoke, connected to the titanium leaf spring, spreads the Enduro dual-row full-complement bearings as wide as possible for maximum durability and prolonged bearing life. Tires are crucial to bike handling and frame performance. We shaped the chain stays and seat stays to give the Mayhem loads of clearance for wide-diameter tires up to 29x2.5", with some 29x2.6" tires working as well.


We design and test our frames to the highest standards so you can be confident in your investment. Should you have an issue with your Spot frame, we will warranty it against manufacturing defects for the lifetime of the frame. Of course there's some fine print (read here), but if you buy a bike and ride it as it is intended to be ridden, we've got your back. And if you do get into a fender-bender, we have a fantastic crash replacement program as well.


This bike is spectacular!! The living link definitely lives up to its name. The bike is super playful and poppy on the downhill and the uphill. The suspension settings chosen by the Spot dudes work well with the types of trails I ride in NM (Glorieta, ABQ area, SF area). Only two changes since purchasing it: 125mm dropper -> 150 mm (I'm 5'5" and mostly leg); stock grips -> odi grips (personal preference).


I initially purchased a Spot Rollik 150 back in 2020 and never got around to reviewing it (sorry guys!). Long and short, great bike. It ended up having a warranty related issue and as the Spot team did throughout the life of the Rollik, they came through in amazing fashion. After shipping the frame back for evaluation, they honored the warranty without further questions and even helped out on some parts needed for the switch from a 27.5 to a 29er. Can't say enough good things about these folks. Now for the bike... I've been singing the praises of the Mayhem since ride 3 or 4. Took me a few to get used to a longer, bigger bike from the Rollik, but after settling in I actually prefer it. The Mayhem handles Pisgah with ease and climbs like a dream. Will be riding and loving this one for as long as possible. If you're on the fence... do it. Buy one. You won't regret it. Great bike and great support.


"This whole chunk of land will be decimated...!" Warner Bros has debuted a third trailer for San Andreas, the big earthquake movie starring Dwayne Johnson they've been building up for a summer release. We've already seen two good trailers for this already, teasing some of the epic destruction and mayhem including a huge tsunami wave and pretty much all of Los Angeles collapsing upon itself. This definitely does look like a Roland Emmerich movie (even a spiritual sequel to 2012) but without some of the Emmerich quirks, for better or worse. Honestly, I'm curious to see this, something about the emotional angle that gets me. Enjoy!


San Andreas is directed by Brad Peyton (Journey 2: The Mysterious Island) and written by Allan Loeb (Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps), Carlton Cuse (executive producer and writer of "Lost"), Chad & Carey Hayes (The Conjuring), Jeremy Passmore (Red Dawn) and Andre Fabrizio (Vice). Set in the aftermath of a devastating California earthquake, the movie follows a helicopter pilot (Dwayne Johnson) and his ex-wife (Carla Gugino) as they struggle to leave Los Angeles in order to retrieve their daughter (Alexandra Daddario) from San Francisco. Warner Bros. Pictures releases the film in theaters May 29th this summer.
