Rüsselsheim. The second generation of the Opel Movano brings a breath of fresh air to the light commercial vehicle market in Europe with innovative technologies and excellent functionality and economy. The debut of the versatile van also marks a new Opel model strategy to strengthen and expand its commercial vehicle range: The company is escalating its activities in an area where it has an impressive tradition and proven expertise. The goals are accordingly ambitious: By 2013 the new Movano aims to double the annual sales volume from the 10,000 - 15,000 units of the out-going model throughout Europe.
Competitive advantages: design, interior and model variety
The new Movano has an expressive, powerful front that gives it a distinctive appearance. With its trademark style elements like the trapezoidal-shaped grille, horizontal chrome bar with redesigned Opel logo and signature crease on the front hood, the Movano is a clear brand representative. Engineers and designers paid special attention to the interior design of the cab. The result is a cabin that is 5.7 centimeters longer than that of the outgoing model and boasts high-quality, durable materials and surfaces, excellent all-around visibility and a host of practical storage compartments. It also features multi-adjustable seats and a height-adjustable steering column ensuring every driver can achieve a comfortable driving position.
The new Opel Movano provides the widest range of body variants on the commercial vehicle market, offering a model for every customer-specific utility profile. The range includes panel vans (available in four vehicle lengths and three roof heights), crew vans, platform, chassis and crew cabs as well as combi versions. Vehicles are also well-equipped for special conversions or enhancements, and some special versions – like dropside and tipper – are available ex-works.
The new Movano now has four different vehicle lengths that extends to more than four meters of load length and a higher load volume, with up to 17 cubic meters in the L4 version. This latest generation also includes rear-wheel drive variants, available with both single and dual rear wheels, which gives it a great gross vehicle weight range of up to 4.5 tonnes.
Flexible platform with front and rear-wheel drive
For the first time, the new Movano offers rear-wheel drive (RWD) versions in addition to the front-wheel drive (FWD) models, thanks to its unrivalled modular platform. The RWD variants give added traction on unpaved road and increased towing capability. Dual rear wheels are available in panel van, chassis and crew cab formats. Dual rear wheels are standard on 4.5 t gross vehicle weight models and optionally available for 3.0 t. FWD models feature transversally installed engines while RWD versions have longitudinally fitted engines.
Best values in load area dimensions and cargo capacity
The cargo areas of the panel van variants offer best-in-class accessibility, loading ease, standing height and cargo capacity. The vehicle can accommodate up to 17 cubic meters, with a maximum load area length of up to 4.4 meters. Gross vehicle weight extends up to 4.5 tonnes, and maximum payload up to 2.5 tonnes, depending on body variant. The new Movano is also an excellent candidate as a towing vehicle, able to tow up to 3.0 tonnes. Maximum gross train weight is now 7.5 tonnes.
Alongside capacity and dimensions, ergonomics and functionality play a vital role in the world of heavy vans. The new Opel Movano is supremely practical for everyday use. FWD models feature low loading sill heights for easy access to the cargo area, while sliding side and rear wing doors with generous apertures offer maximum loading and unloading convenience. Rear doors have a standard opening aperture of 180 degree, while the 270 degree version is optional.
The standard sliding side load door offers a maximum width of 1270 mm (1050 mm on L1 versions), enabling Europallets to be loaded sideways, and a maximum height of 1780 mm. A wide rear door aperture of 1580 mm and a maximum height of up to 1820 mm along with increased load-through width between wheel arches of 1380 mm ease loading, while straight body sides ensure space efficiency.
Efficient and lively: new generation of CDTI engines
A new family of four-cylinder common-rail diesel engines (2.3 CDTI) provide low fuel consumption and emissions. The engines are available in three output levels with 74 kW/100 hp, 92 kW/125 hp and 107 kW/146 hp. With an optional 105-liter tank, the operating range is nearly 1,400 kilometers. Significant attention has been paid to ensuring that low fuel consumption is achieved in real world operating conditions, not just according to the EU combined cycle.
Despite a lower displacement than the outgoing model, the 2.3 CDTI will deliver higher levels of torque across the board at lower revolutions, emit less CO2 and can travel further per liter of fuel. Moreover, the valve train is chain-driven for lower maintenance costs.
All variants come with six-speed manual transmission. Automated Easytronic transmission, which combines high efficiency with the handling comfort of an automatic, is optionally available for the two more powerful output versions. All three engines meet Euro 4 emissions standards. Engines can also be ordered with a diesel particulate filter.
An additional, particularly economic variant with low CO2 emissions will be added to the program in the second half of 2010.
Excellent economy thanks to low operating costs
The new Opel Movano sets standards in terms of economy. A cornerstone for this is excellent manufacturing and product quality, resulting in high reliability and long service life as well as high residual value projections.
The Movano also delivers in terms of low costs, especially for spare and wear-and-tear parts. Particularly durable are the brake and clutch components. Maintenance costs, too, are also much lower: An oil change is only required every 40,000 kilometers, or once a year, and the coolant only needs to be changed after 160,000 kilometers (predecessor model: 120,000 kilometers).
The new Movano also boasts the lowest fuel consumption and emissions in its segment (from 7.8 l/100 km /203 g/km CO2) and is thus the ideal choice in countries with taxation based on CO2. It has achieved an overall operating cost reduction by nearly 10 percent compared with the outgoing model. Operating expenses are calculated adding the costs of maintenance wear-and-tear, insurance, depreciation and fuel for four years or 150,000 kilometers.
The vehicle has been engineered for exemplary durability, with a service life of 400,000 kilometers. Maintenance and wear-and-tear costs alone for the new Movano are 24 percent lower than the predecessor model.
Refined driving characteristics – high safety reserves
In keeping with the progressive drive concept, the Opel Movano's advanced chassis is tuned for agile handling and comfortable suspension while fully loaded and when empty.
This is accompanied by a high level of safety: ABS brakes with electronic brake force distribution (EBD) are provided as standard in all models. The electronic stability program ESP is also standard in all rear-wheel drive models, and is available as an option with front-wheel drive versions. Passive safety features include a driver airbag as standard, as well as three-point safety belts with belt tensioner and belt force limiter. Further elements such as passenger airbag, seat-integrated side airbags or headlamps with cornering light can be ordered as optional extras.
"The European commercial vehicle market is of great strategic importance to us," says Chris Lacey, head of commercial vehicles at Opel/Vauxhall. "The rejuvenation of our product portfolio in this important commercial vehicle segment clearly reflects our ambitions to grow in this area and strengthen our market position, and ultimately make an even greater contribution towards the success of the company. This also includes focused improvement and reinforcement of our sales and dealer network in terms of the commercial vehicle business."
"The new Movano plays a key role in our sales plans as of 2010. Due to its qualities in fundamental areas – these include the exceptionally wide selection of variants, exemplary economy thanks to low operating and maintenance costs as well as state-of-the-art functionality and cab ergonomics – the new Movano has everything it takes to establish itself at the top of the light commercial vehicle segment."

Teens killed in crash were going to the beach, friend says
NEWPORT BEACH – Five Irvine high school students were killed in a Memorial Day car crash that left a vehicle split in two, officials confirmed Tuesday, as school officials grappled with the grief of the victims' classmates.
Abdulrahman M. Alyahyan, 17, was driving the Infiniti that crashed into a tree on a divider on Jamboree Road just north of Island Lagoon Drive about 5:20 p.m. Monday, authorities said. His passengers in the vehicle were Nozad Al Hamawendi, 17; Cecilia D. Zamora, 17; Aurora C. Cabrera, 16; and Robin A. Cabrera, 17.
All five teens died from the crash. Four of them were thrown from the vehicle and died at the scene, while the fifth died a short time later at Mission Hospital in Mission Viejo, police said.
The investigation into the crash is open, but Newport Beach Police Department spokeswoman Kathy Lowe said investigators believe that "excessive speed" played a role.
Signs posted along Jamboree Road point to a 55-mph speed limit, but it was not immediately clear how fast the car was traveling before the driver lost control of the Infiniti.
On Tuesday morning, skid marks were visible on the left side of the southbound lanes, leading into the center divider.
The group was heading to the beach for the evening, said Tamer Mosallam, a junior at University High School, who said he spent most days hanging out with Alyahyan and Hamawendi.
The trip was, in a way, supposed to be a triple date, but Mosallam's father decided at the last moment that his son had been out too much and needed to study for a test.
"They were in front of my house, but he said I had to study," Mosallam said. "They were mad at me. That's when I saw the news. My two best friends were in that car. It's crazy, like, I'm not supposed to be here, like, I'm supposed to be in that car."
That car was Alyahyan's baby, as some friends put it, and his adoration for the vehicle was well-known. Ever since his older brother gave it to him, Alyahyan fixed the car, kept it in good shape and showed it off.
But he also had a penchant for speeding, said several of Alyahyan's acquaintances, and though they said he never drank alcohol, he was not averse to flexing the car's muscles.
The fatal crash left students at University High School, which Alyahyan attended, and Irvine High School, which the other teenagers attended, shocked and saddened, with school officials promising to provide support in the days ahead.
His classmates said Alyahyan's small frame never hid his big personality.
Alyahyan was the baby of his family, friends said, and two of his older brothers, his older sister and his mother all attended Irvine Valley College after the family emigrated from Saudi Arabia nearly four years ago. His father and oldest brother remained in Saudi Arabia.
Alyahyan made friends quickly and soon found himself with a group of six or so very close friends, all of whom bonded over their Middle Eastern heritage.
The friends would occasionally go out to parties, but on most days, they would go to the movies, head to the beach or simply hang out at someone's home, eat, play video games and chat.
"He was the funniest person you will ever meet," said his friend Zach Darwish, a senior at University High School. "He always had hilarious things to say, and perfect timing."
Friends said Alyahyan planned to attend college next year, but they were unsure where he intended to go.
Hamawendi and Alyahyan were inseparable. Closer than brothers, friends said.
"Always together," Mosallam said. "There was nothing better than their friendship."
Hamawendi, who moved with his family to Irvine from Iraq a few years ago, loved lifting weights to increase his strength. He tried wrestling for a short while, but gave that up.
Friends said they thought of Hamawendi as a solid guy.
"Honestly, he was the most innocent kid I knew," Mosallam said. "Whenever I wanted to hang out and not get in trouble, that was who I would (call)."
Robin and Aurora were inseparable, friends said, and shared everything from their bubbly personalities to a passion for dance. Several friends said that both were gifted choreographers and planned to pursue dance beyond high school.
"It hardly seemed like they were sisters," said Irvine High School senior Delaram Danesh, 18. "It was more like they were best friends."
Friends of Robin, who was poised to graduate, described her as a ball of fire with dyed red hair to match.
Online, her social media profiles bear the phrase "Live fast, die young, be wild & have fun."
"She wouldn't give you hugs. She would drop her purse and jump on you," said Tristen Allemen, an Irvine High School junior who gathered at the school Tuesday with friends.
Aurora, Robin's younger sister, preferred to be called "Christine," friends said.
Bianca Fernandez, 15, of Cypress said Christine could make the best of any situation and had the "sweetest little baby laugh."
"I called her 'my wifey,'" she said outside Irvine High School, where flowers and photos rested on a wall.
"They could make you laugh for days," she said of the sisters.
Friends of Cecilia Zamora described her as always laughing, and noted her hobbies as dancing and hanging out with friends.
Abdi Dahir, a junior at Irvine, described Zamora as "amazing" and "the nicest person." He took a math class with Zamora this year.
"She was the happiest girl at this school," Dahir said.
Irvine student Sara Mohamed, 17, said Zamora was one of her closest friends. She met Zamora when the two were students at Venado Middle School in Irvine.
"I've known her for six years. We have never gotten into an argument," Mohamed said. "She loved making people laugh."
Paloma Douglas, who also described Zamora as a close friend, said Zamora was always smiling. She described Zamora as a straight-A student who took classes that were advanced for her grade level.
"She would say, 'I'm not doing it for my parents. I'm doing it for myself.'" Douglas said.
Ashley Mcguire, 16, said Zamora defended her when she was bullied during her freshman year.
"She would comment on my pictures and bring me up," Mcguire said. "She would tell other people, 'You're wrong' and that their opinion doesn't matter. She stood up for people."
Irvine Unified School District officials said they would do "everything possible" to help students cope with their loss.
"Our community and district bear an unimaginable loss today, as we mourn the passing of these fine students," Irvine Unified Superintendent Terry Walker said. "There are simply no words to convey the sorrow felt by our staff and our students and our community. Nor are there sufficient answers to explain the loss of these vibrant, young teenagers."
Tuesday was a staff-development day at the campuses, giving school officials time to prepare for the return Wednesday of students. Counselors and psychologists will be available, as authorities reach out to staff and students.

Working off hours lets dads spend more time bonding with their children.
INDIANAPOLIS -- When Carlos Wood made a career change eight years ago, he wasn't just looking to do something different from teaching children with learning disabilities. He also wanted a new schedule — one that let him spend more time with his four children.
Wood, 40, became a firefighter. He now works 24 hours on and 48 hours off with the Indianapolis Fire Department. He usually works two shifts a week. On the other days, he's the parent who runs forgotten lunches to school or helps with school projects. His three younger children — now 9, 6 and 5 — stayed home with Dad before they started school, often heading to the Children's Museum, the zoo or a local library or park.
"That was one of the appealing things," said Wood, who recently moved with his wife, Michelle, and family to Fishers, Ind. "I was able to stay at home, and I realized a lot more people stayed at home than I thought. But I was able to spend time with the family, do things around the house."
Wood belongs to a cadre of fathers who opt to work evenings or nights to give them time to raise their children during the day.
For some, it's a conscious decision. Others, like Brian Maksl, enter fatherhood while already working nights and find that it works well for them.
The Danville, Ind., father met his wife at the distribution center where they worked. When she was pregnant with their now 3-year-old, Maksl was promoted to a shift that required him to work 3 p.m. to 11:30 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday. His wife works Sundays to Thursdays 7 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. and spends evenings with their preschooler and her two children, ages 5 and 7, from a previous marriage.
Because their shifts overlap, the children spend a few hours a day with a sitter. But evening work allows the Maksls to minimize the time the children are being watched by someone other than a parent.
"I think I know my kids better than a lot of other fathers do," Maksl said.
Perks of split-shift parenting
Regardless of why a father works an off-peak schedule, there are advantages to doing so, said Maureen Perry-Jenkins, a professor of psychology at the University of Massachusetts. She has studied a group of low-income and working-class families who have recently had their first child. About a third of those in her sample split shifts to avoid using child care.
Not only can this arrangement save on costs, it can also lead to a stronger bond between father and child — one that lasts, Perry-Jenkins said.
"Fathers are much more involved with their kids when they do shift work because they're the primary parent. What we're finding is if they're involved early on, they stay involved," she said. "It's really patterns that get set up early that are important."
Single father Keith Angell would agree. After his son was born 11 years ago, the professional chef was the go-to daytime parent. He drove from the family home in Zionsville to his night and weekend job in Greenwood.
Days, however, belonged to him and Jacob. He'd wake Jacob up each morning and the two would have breakfast together. They dined out for breakfast at least one day a week. If Jacob ever needed something from home during school, Angell would take it to him. Angell attended every school meeting.
"I was one of a few dads around. It made me feel great," says Angell, 42.
Two years ago, Angell and his wife divorced, and he became a single father. Baby sitters and his parents helped out with evening child care, but Angell noticed Jacob's grades slipping, and he feared he was not involved enough.
Now, Angell works days and weekends at a grill closer to home, a job that allows him to spend school nights with his son. And if anything, that bond has only grown stronger.
Making a conscious choice
Steve Lew, an intensive care unit nurse at Community East Hospital, worked days at another job before retraining to enter the medical field. His decision to change careers from construction rested in part on the poor economy. But it also had to do with the long days that often required him to leave his house before his children woke up and return after they went to sleep.
When he entered nursing in January 2012, he looked for jobs that would allow him to work nights. Now, Lew, 36, pulls 12-hour shifts Friday, Sunday and Monday nights. His wife, Erica, works Wednesday, Thursday and Friday days.
On Sundays, the family attends church together. And each night, they sit down for dinner.
"It can be tiring, but it beats the alternative," the Center Grove resident said. "I would rather work a night shift where I can still have dinner with my family."
Missing dinners and bedtimes may be easier in general for dads than for moms, Perry-Jenkins' research suggests. Many of the mothers she spoke with said they felt they needed to be there for those times in the day. That means fathers in some fields are more likely to pick up lucrative evening shifts.
Slater Hogan and Erin Polley have the best of both worlds. Hogan, whose career as a disc jockey and music promoter predated the arrival of the couple's son last year, splits the time with his wife.
In the morning, Polley leaves their Holy Cross, Ind., home for work. Hogan, 43, watches their son, Jack. Because much of Hogan's work is with West Coast colleagues, he makes his calls when Polley gets home in the afternoon.
Because of his schedule, Hogan has been on hand to witness many of Jack's firsts — his first smile, his first words.
The downside for Hogan and Polley and many other couples who work opposite shifts? How little time they spend together.
Some days will go by when the Lews seem to pass one another on the way in and out of their home.
"We kind of high-five," Steve said. "She comes home and I go to work."
It can also be lonely to be one of few guys on the scene during the day, on the playground, or in the Children's Museum. Fathers who venture into these female-dominated spheres report warm smiles and kudos from strangers.
Still, it may not feel completely natural, Perry-Jenkins said. Her research has found that some fathers don't mention their day-time caregiving to their colleagues at work. They say they feel bad that their wife has to work and while they delight in the relationship they have with their babies, they don't advertise it.
And at times even their children may not like the less-than-traditional family structure.
Lew would be the first to volunteer to chaperone field trips for his daughter Avery, 6, who just completed first grade.
But she's not necessarily on board with the idea.
"She doesn't want me to go because I would be the only dad," he explained. "She says, 'I want Mom to go.' "

By JEFFREY O. DURRANTProfessor of Geology, BYU
If a great road is defined by a journey that equals or exceeds the destination�then the 162 mile Steese Highway running northeast out of Fairbanks is a great road.
In fact a journey down the Steese offers not only the spectacular Alaskan scenery you would expect but provides the added bonus of being able to get up close to the White Mountains National Recreation Area (NRA) and the Steese National Conservation Area (NCA)�the only two special land use designations from Alaska that are part of the BLM's relatively new National Landscape Conservation System (NLCS).
Let's start with the scenery. The road itself is paved for awhile before giving way to chip-seal and then graded dirt ending on the banks of the Yukon River, just beyond a sign that warns you that you may have to share the road in the small town of Circle with an occasional airplane. Since you hardly even pass any cars during the entire journey, it's doubtful that you will risk having to yield to an airplane outside the small general store.
But before you get to Circle (misnamed by eager miners who thought they were a bit further north than they were), you travel through the Chatanika River Valley where the view alternates between dense forests with occasional glimpses of a meandering river to areas where large-scale gold mining has rearranged a sizeable portion of the landscape.
Further along, the high-latitude low-elevation tree line gives way to rolling tundra where, from a pair of summits along the road, you feel like you can see forever. Later you dip back down into the forests surrounding the Birch Creek National Wild River and the town of Central before the large bend in the Yukon River comes into view.
But I didn't travel the Steese Highway simply for the scenery�though it would be reason enough. As with most places lately, I was there because of the presence of special BLM land use designations.
On a short visit it's only possible to access the fringes of either the White Mountain National Recreation Area or the Steese National Conservation Area�both are vast areas of over one million acres with practically no motorized travel during the summer.
But a day hike in each area combined with a very insightful morning spent with the BLM staff in the Fairbanks Field Office helped me to develop an initial feel for these areas�both designated in 1980 with the passage of the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act (ANILCA).
The White Mountains NRA is the only NRA managed by the BLM rather than the National Park Service. Interestingly the vast area is much more accessible during the winter when snowmobile riders make use of an extensive trail and cabin network.
During my summertime eight-mile hike into the edge of the White Mountains NRA, I soon realized that most late summer use by humans appeared to center on harvesting of wild blue berries. I passed dozens of people spread out on the slopes near the main trail picking the abundant fruit.
One lady informed me that she comes every year and puts up around fifteen quarts of berries. Another woman said she makes "syrups, jellies, pies, everything" with her berries. Earlier I passed a man dressed in black running shorts and a tank top with a holstered gun around his hips, swinging two very nice silver containers full of berries. Later on I passed two families with worn out kids whose pails were suspiciously empty.
About midway between Fairbanks and Circle, the Steese Highway divides the northern and southern portions of the Steese NCA. The Pinnel Mountain Trail runs along the southern edge of the northern section while Birch Creek makes a 100 mile loop through the southern section.
The Steese NCA is used not only by hikers and river runners but is also considered important caribou range. Unlike many of the NCAs I have visited lately, human use of the Steese NCA is very low. In fact during my visit I would not have been surprised to find out that nobody else was in the area apart from the handful of people I met along the highway who wondered if I had seen any caribou on my hike along a portion of the Pinnell Mountain Trail.
The Steese was included in the BLM's NLCS when it was created in June 2000. The White Mountains NRA was not included in the NLCS until a year or so later when the BLM in Alaska lobbied for its inclusion. The rational was that they felt that the White Mountains were utilized and managed for a diversity of uses that included mining, wildlife habitat, and other activities that went beyond simple recreation, and therefore they felt it was a good fit for the NLCS. As with many other areas they felt that inclusion in the new NLCS would make it easier to access funding and other resources for management initiatives.
In talking with the BLM office in Washington, I was informed that the BLM in Alaska had been much more interested in receiving resources for the White Mountain NRA than the Steese NCA. Yet the Steese NCA was initially included in the NLCS and they had to campaign to get the White Mountains NRA included. If they had been given a choice it's likely they would have put the White Mountains NRA in the NLCS from the get-go instead of the Steese NCA. But while all BLM NCAs were automatically included in the creation of the NLCS, the lone BLM NRA was an orphan child that had to beg for a seat at the table.
But the inclusion of the White Mountains NRA into the NLCS may have been a bit late to receive much additional funding as the change in Administrations has focused resources on oil and gas development and the NLCS has been moved down the pecking order in the continual scramble for resources�or to put another way, just as the White Mountains got a seat at the table, someone cleared the food. Places such as the Steese NCA and the White Mountains NRA will now have to wait until the political winds shift, and it becomes vogue once again to focus on special designations.
But despite management challenges, the BLM land that surrounds the Steese Highway is worth a much longer visit than I had time for. In fact I could have spent a few more hours in the Steese NCA if I hadn't focused on making it to the end of the road where I sat on a bench outside the small general store in Circle eating peanuts and having a drink while I waited to see what would come first�a car or a plane. Neither came and so I drove back down the Steese.

What is the King's Calendar? Definition: King's Calendar Chronological ResearchThe Premise: Between the 5th and 3rd centuries BCE (but continuing down to at least 104 BCE), Sectarian redactors transcribed the legitimate 'solar year' chronological records of Israel and Judah, into an artificial form, with listed years as each comprised of 12 months of 4 weeks of 7 days, or 336 days per year, thus creating a 13th artificial year where 12 solar years existed. When the Synchronous Chronological Data provided in the Books of Kings and Chronicles for the Divided Kingdom Period are measured in years of 336 days, the synchronisms actually align. [Refer to Appendix 5. to see how it synchronises the Divided Kingdom Period]

Note: I was unable to post these earlier due to wireless complications at the BancorpSouth Arena where Memphis defeated LSU 70-61. Malcolm White had five points and four rebounds in 17 minutes for LSU. He fouled out with about 2 1-2 minutes left.
– Sophomore RB Rodney Scott has left the team. Nutt says he expects to meet with Scott and his father after the season. Scott has been basically the fourth running back this season.
– No real injuries that weren't visible in last night's loss to LSU. Bumps and bruises, Nutt says.
– Nutt says he has a much better understanding of the meaning of the Mississippi State game after last year's 41-27 loss in Starkville. Robert Khayat told me last year that he pulled Nutt aside on his hiring and explained to him the importance of the MSU game.
– Nutt characterized his relationship with MSU coach Dan Mullen as friendly but not very deep. My words there, not his.

- "Does anyone know why directory globbing order differs by system architecture?"
This problem bit this stand up blogger yesterday. An entire directory was required, and on a mac the order is alphabetical. On linux it's apparently random, most likely based on inode order. Ruby doesn't gaurantee an order, so something that may "just work" on a mac purely by luck might not work on linux/bsd/windows.
- "Is anyone using unicorn on EngineYard?"
Not yet.
*Keep files continued – The keep file will cause the original file to be retained, so just touching the keep file is fine. No need to mess with sym links or anything of the sort

"I really love the coloring on these shoes. At first they are a bit tight but once worn for a while, they begin to break in. They seem comfortable but I have yet to wear them for a full workday. They will definitely make a great fall shoe."

"These shoes are very cute and I would love to keep them, however, they are about a half size too short. I ordered my normal size so they must run short. I have a narrow foot which is hard to fit (the width was great) so I am very disappointed that the length does not run true to size. I believe they would be very comfortable if the length was right! I will be returning them. :-("

As we celebrate Ray Lewis, don't forget murder victims
"Amid this week-long celebration and commemoration of Ray Lewis' brilliant, Hall of Fame career, let us not forget that he was once charged with killing Richard Lollar and Jacinth Baker — two men whose murders were never solved. Two men whose families are, no doubt, still haunted by the fact that brutal, bloody killers are still out there somewhere running free."

Hi - I am writing on behalf of my sister. She has a 9 month old and is seriously exhausted and struggling with her health due to the fact that her son wakes every hour at night to breastfeed/comfort (and has done so since he was born). She is beyond the point of slow remedies to help him - he is fully in a pattern of needing the breast to sleep and she has health complications that need to be addressed with sleep right away. She is committed to the AP approach, but I want to be able to suggest a good, concrete way she can change this pattern without going straight to Ferber/cry it out method. Any thoughts? Thanks!

Customer Reviews
Comments: These work pretty well on an owner jig rig or homemade jika rig. They seem to be just the right size for a 3/0 hook and 1/4oz weight
From: Tim: Texas 12/5/16
Comments: These Tap Out worms are by far the best worms I've ever used. Tournament fisherman for almost 40 years and have used many brands. Bass do not tap these. They grab hold and try to yank the rod out of your hands.
From: Leo: Houston, TX 7/13/15
Comments: These are probably the best worms I have ever used! Had them sitting in my bag for a couple months until I got bored and caught three nice bass that day. I use them weightless or on a shakey head. It must be the way these smell because they catch more fish than senkos or trick worms for me.
From: Unknown: FL 3/16/14
Comments: These are the BOMB you must try them.
From: Bass Hammer: WA
Comments: If you dont have this worm in your box, you are missing out on one of the best worms on the market, it is killer!

By Phil Garland, Rob Gittings, and Mike Pearl
What a difference a year makes. Last fall, View introduced readers to what we called the latest technology trend to capture the attention of businesses, consumers, and investors alike. That description of cloud computing was apt: Momentum—along with considerable hype—for the new approach and its supporting technologies has been considerable. But the real impact is only now beginning to be felt. A year ago, cloud was squarely in the IT domain; now, it's making its way to the boardroom. Phil Garland, Rob Gittings, and Mike Pearl— leaders in PwC's Advisory, Technology, and Cloud Computing practices—explain why the real story is less about technology and more about business strategy.
Most organizations today are no longer deciding whether they'll use cloud computing. Rather, they're asking how? Will we use software-as-a-service to provide CRM for our sales team instead of managing the application in-house? Should we take advantage of inexpensive, virtualized storage to meet our mushrooming data needs? Will a private cloud enable us to better leverage our technology investments among our different business units?
Good questions—but all too often, the discussion ends there. And even more important, certain crucial stakeholders are missing from the dialogue.
Yes, cloud is absolutely about facilitating better IT. But, as leading companies are discovering, it can also be much more than that. Those companies are taking a broader view: cloud as a new engine for business growth.
Cloud computing can play a strategic role for all companies, not just those in the technology or services industries. The vision is simple: By doing away with typical IT constraints—limited resources, consuming maintenance, and incompatible systems—cloud computing frees the business to pursue growth and innovation.
In essence, cloud lets you say yes more often. Imagine that you could green-light as many as a half dozen new research and development (R&D) projects instead of betting on just one or two. With cloud's on-demand approach, it's possible to quickly—and at a fraction of the current cost—equip teams with the resources they need. Rather than weeks or months, the supporting infrastructure for a project could be set up in just a few days. That kind of rapid start-up means companies could try many new ideas, quickly rejecting ones that weren't viable in favor of ones that are most promising.
Having more options is a compelling proposition. That was the case for Zagat Survey, the company behind the eponymous dining, travel, and leisure guides and website. When Zagat Survey began rebuilding the Web platform for its Zagat.com subscription service—one of its most strategic and fastest-growing businesses—it determined that using Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) infrastructure was a better choice than managing the hardware in-house. With Amazon EC2, Zagat could easily test different hardware configurations to determine the best setup for the core service.
Companies not held back by IT are free to capitalize on opportunities as they arise. For example, a company unexpectedly overwhelmed by a consumer response to a pop-culture phenomenon might want to quickly launch a Web promotion. Instead of scrambling to set up the required infrastructure, this short-term need could be met quickly with cloud-based resources.
Or consider another way cloud can smooth out IT roadblocks to top-line growth. In, say, a merger or acquisition, system integration is often a complex and synergy-draining proposition.
But think about how much more efficiently the two entities' data and business processes could be merged if supporting systems resided in the cloud instead of being managed internally.
Admittedly, it sounds too good to be true—as if you could merely snap your fingers and the supporting infrastructure needed for any initiative would magically appear. Of course, that will never quite happen. Cloud computing is no magic bullet. In fact, as a disruptive force, it raises a number of issues that companies need to carefully consider: strategy, finance, risk and governance, data security and privacy, technology, and its impact on other business functions.
Yet cloud computing finally brings businesses closer to a world in which technology can truly be an enabler, not an obstacle. To deliver on that promise, companies find they need to formulate a comprehensive business strategy for cloud computing. Created by the executive team—not solely the CIO—such a strategy takes into account how cloud can best support the business, and it considers the changes the strategy would cause to the ways people work and make decisions.
