Rapala Shad Rap
When Rapala was creating the Shad Rap, they wanted a crankbait that would closely resemble baitfish the world over, cast like a bullet, and work at a variety depths. Now considered by many to be the benchmark by which all other hardbaits are measured, the Rapala Shad Rap, constructed from the highest quality balsa wood, embodies all of these attributes, plus it delivers the legendary Rapala wobbling action. Equally effective whether cast or trolled, it performs from ultra slow to super fast with now negative effects. Available in several proven colors and a variety of models to target specific depths, each Rapala Shad Rap is hand-tuned and tank-tested, like all Rapala baits, to ensure it runs true right out of the package.

Customer Reviews
Comments: I caught my only fish of the day on the smallest size. The water was EXTREMELY pressured over the weekend and jigs & wacky rigs didn't work at all. However a shad rap in the vicinity of schooling large mouth proved to be the perfect bite sized snack to trigger a strike. the lethargic bait fish motion caused that fish EAT it. occasionally it needs tuned and that is difficult but otherwise it works great. Much better hookups than the kvd 1.5 crankbait.
From: Seth: USA 9/8/16
Comments: I remember when these cb's were first introduced in the 80's; the tackle stores couldn't keep them on the pegs! The subtle swimming action of these lures will produce in cold water when the bite slows down. I bought every color available in the 80's, and still use the lures today. The original shad pattern is the BEST color for clear lakes, but the silver back minnow works well too. A little lead tape on the lip or belly will help casting issues on windy days. You can swim it or use the lure like a jerk bait; smallies will slam em'!
From: John: Knoxville, TN 1/18/16
Comments: fish these hard late summer mornings... have had great success with them, SSR09 in bluegill... we had a LOT of small bluegill in this particular lake tho.. I think they spawned twice. Thing is, after awhile, I think I'm KVD and cast wild once in 45 casts, and have lost two in the same 20 yards. GREAT bait in any event, this is in a clear lake with mainly smallmouth BTW.
From: Ron: CO River chain
Comments: This is an awesome coldwater bait. Slow crank this in the late fall and winter and you will catch big fish. Last winter I caught a 4 or 5lber and my grandpa had one break off that was probably 7 or 8. My favorite color is shad even though bluegill is the primary forage in my lakes.
From: Ethan: Charlottesville, VA
Comments: This lure literally made a fishing trip for us recently. We were fishing Northern Wisconsin lakes with 50-60 degree temps depending on depth and clarity and we wore them out on this lure. Smallmouth and largemouth (And 5 suspended walleyes that were an added bonus during bass fishing). No other bait needed. One of us made a switch to this (#5 Dark Brown Crawdad) after a rough first morning and pulled out a 3.5 lb smallie first cast. The rest of the weekend all of us used the #5 in Crawdad or Dark Brown Crawdad and we lit it up every day. My new go-to cold water bait!
From: Ryan: Minneapolis, MN
Comments: A number 7 Shad Rap is a must have bait on Shearon Harris Lake, NC in February and March. Fish it with 8 pound test line, a Shimano Stradic 2500 reel, and a 7 foot medium light rod. Use a fish n fool knot. This set up is a fish catching machine.
From: Dan: Cary, NC
Comments: only a few things could make me happier then getting a select few of Ike's custom colores on shad raps "caugh...blue back herring, mardi gras, old school..caugh" anyway we can make this happen rapala?
From: Jonathon: TN
Comments: these are still some of the most versatile crankbaits on the market, fish absolutely kill them.
From: Matthew
Comments: One of the GREATEST and most versatile baits of ALL TIME, can pretty much catch any species with these, using the right sizes, etc... Speaking of that, I am lgad they added the 4 & 6, what they NEED is a size 11, in the 4/14 to 4 1/2 in range to represent BIG gizzard shard, bluegill, baby bass, perch, what have you. There is a HUGE size jump from the 9 to the Super Shad 13 at 5 1/2, would like a size gap filler in the deep diver and shallow.
From: Forrest: WV
Comments: Great for trolling Walleye's in shallower water. Even managed to get a 41 inch, 16 pound Pike into the boat with an SR5 (Perch). The lure does not stand up against big northerns as the lure was broken after that fish. But for anything under 10 pounds these lures will catch lots of fish. They are light and have a great action in the water. Would recommend this lure to anyone. When fish are not bitting I will pull out the SR5 Perch and it always catches.
From: Charlie: SK, Canada
Comments: iv had fish hit it off the top before i could even start moving it. perfectly imitates a shad great bait
From: CA
Comments: SR5 I have caught bass from way north on Lake Erie to way south in Florida water from 40 degrees to 90 degrees crystal clear water to coffee what else can I say.
From: Andy: Columbus, Ohio
Comments: The Shad Rap 7 works great for catching suspended walleyes in the summer. The SR5 works exceptionally well at dusk when walleyes surface to feed on insects and shallow baitfish. Troll with a lot of line at 2 mph and the SR7 will reach depths of nearly 20ft. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a quality crankbait.
From: Chris: MN
Comments: I recently purchased a shadrap 07 and took it out to the lake for a test. We weren't trolling for 10 minutes before I caught a nice large mouth bass. It is also great for casting. When ever we go to a lake, the lure I pull out of my tackle box most often is the Rapala Shadrap 07 for its ability to catch fish. I totally recomend this lure to anybody that doesn't have one.
From: Josh: Granite Falls, MN
Comments: The Shad Rap 05 and Shallow Shad Rap 05 are steady producers when larger crank baits just are not working. When retrieved very slowly, both are excellent winter cranking lures for bass with water temperature in the 40s. During pre-spawn with water temperature in the 50s, crank them over and through shallow weeds, pausing for an instant to let them slowly rise a bit when hitting cover, and bass strike them hard. IÕve caught largemouth bass weighing up to 5 pounds on these slim profile, 2 inch lures. Be sure to use a spinning outfit since they are very light, weighing a mere 3/16 of an ounce
From: Vince: Tucson, AZ
Comments: Three casts into this fantastic little lure in Shad color number eight, landed a four pound largemouth. Lost it, so I am in dire need of another one, will be ordering soon.
From: Issac: Erie, KS
Comments: These are great crankbaits the vmc hooks are super sharp went out to wheeler lake and was killen it on the silver number 7 and the shad number 7 and the prices is pretty good will be getting more of that shad raps soon
From: Joesph: AL
Comments: I was fishing Lake Hartwell and the water was 53 degrees. Everyone was saying crankbaits were working near the bank. I had a shad rap in shad color on my crankbait rod. It was overcast and about to start raining so I didnt have long to fish. I wasnt there for ten minutes and I caught the first and only fish. About two pound largemouth.
From: Chase: SC
Comments: This lure excels in cold water. This silent lure is best fished slow around rocks, weeds, and other fish holding cover. It seems the slower the better. It has a suductive tight wiggle that cold weather fish can not seem to resist. These lures are light weight for their size, which can make casting an issue. Use light line for best results. Best for waters from 4 to 10 ft deep.
From: Pao: B.S., SC
Comments: I have used this lure for years, but not in the way most of you are. The SR7 in Crawdad color is one of the best rainbow trout lures that I have ever used on the White and Little Red Rivers here in Arkansas. Give it a shot when they are generating and you will see what I am talking about
From: Brad: Wynne, AR
Comments: Have had this lure in my box for years,tied the silver #7 on at the Occoquan River.Within a half hour,had 2 bass 1 channel cat and 1 white perch. Ordering more,great crank bait for fishing in 8 to 10 feet of water. Thanks Tackle Warehouse for the continued great service and my tackle box getting heavier along the way. Catch and Release...good fishing everyone!!!
From: Ken: Virginia
Comments: I've been using these for about two years, and love them. I have two sizes: one in the bluegill and one in the yellow perch. Landed a few bass, perch and a bluegill on the bluegill color, and caught a perch trying to school with the other one. All in all these are good lures: good action, love the colors I use and they get down to the depth and cover the water I'm targeting.
From: Yosef: Liverpool, NY

Don't miss a story. Like us on Facebook. Like Dallas News' Facebook Page
Update at 2:32 p.m.: Botello resigned today, said sheriff's department spokeswoman Carmen Castro. The investigation is ongoing.
Update at 1:48 p.m.: Botello posted $2,500 bond and was released from jail a few hours after his arrest early Sunday morning.
A sheriff's department spokeswoman refused to disclose Botello's current employment status, including whether he is suspended during the investigation.
"This is an ongoing investigation," spokeswoman Carmen Castro said in an email. "We have nothing further at this time."
Original item at 11:25 a.m.: A Dallas County Sheriff's Department jailer is facing a felony bribery charge for allegedly smuggling tobacco and alcohol into the Lew Sterrett Justice Center for an inmate in exchange for cash, according to police documents.
Daniel Botello, 27, of Arlington, was arrested on Sunday, according to records.
The investigation that prompted his arrest began four days earlier, on December 12, when county maintenance personnel working on a jail ice machine "found three packs of cigarettes and a small bag of tobacco hidden inside the filter of the machine," the documents said.
Sheriff's investigators spoke to inmates who said Botello would bring in the contraband and that he was working with another inmate, Erasmo Garcia.
Detectives interviewed Botello, who admitted that he had met Garcia's mother and that she gave him three packs of cigarettes and $90, the documents said.
"Botello stated that he didn't directly provide the cigarettes to inmate Garcia, but that he left his backpack unattended in the Pod," the documents said. "Later, when he looked in the backpack, the cigarettes were gone."
The jailer said that on another occasion he was asked to bring in some alcohol. He said he met another person and was given a bottle of Smirnoff liquor and $50 to smuggle in for Garcia.
Botello said he felt guilty and threw the bottle away. When he next worked in the pod, he poured sanitizer in an empty Sprite bottle and passed it off as alcohol for Garcia.

TR6 buddy!
"When a friend of mine recommended this shoe brand, I had my doubts since I know other brands were more reliable given the track years in sports. So when I chose this shoe, one thing I was looking for was comfort, durability and versatility. After wearing it to the gym and even to long trips across states, I can say this is one comfortable shoe! It took some breaking in for about 2 weeks leaving my heel a it sore but that soon went away. I've ran some dirt roads and carried heavy weights yet it still feels comfortable on the feet. I've worn this shoe during heavy rain and 80-90 degree hot days to know that this shoe can keep my feet ventilated despite such weather conditions. If you are a newbie for this brand, try out this pair of shoes!"

Why Slovenia?
Slovenia is located in close proximity to major cities such as Vienna, Venice and Budapest and is the only European country that combines Alpine and Mediterranean land, Pannonian Plain and Karst. The variety of landscapes is always astounding. On one side, you can watch the sea and then gaze at high mountains on the other. The centuries-long tradition of spa tourism based on Slovenia's sources of healing waters and other natural elements such as fresh air, unspoiled nature, large forest areas and sea guarantees treatment according to high European standards. These natural resources enabled Slovenia to become an agricultural land full of culinary delights of specific regions rich in truffles, asparagus, spices and grains that are a perfect accompaniment to exquisite white and red autochthonous wines or wines of protected geographical origin coming from the three wine-growing regions of Slovenia.
Why Maribor?
The city of Maribor is the second-largest city in Slovenia. Its location at the foot of the green forests of Pohorje enables guests to breathe deeply in the morning, and the mysterious rustling of forests lulls them to sleep in the evening. In the winter you can experience skiing and sledding, and in the summer hiking, cycling, wine roads, adrenaline parks and other sports, all of these perfectly combined with visiting the city's cultural sights, shopping centres and top-quality theatre performances. In the summer, the city becomes very lively at the Lent Festival events, which every year attract numerous guests searching for cultural and music events. The rich wine tradition of the oldest vine in the world, the location among wine-growing hills featuring top-quality wines and the delicious foods are all part of the richness of visiting Maribor.

I can't snark on this.
NOT IT.ReplyCancel
yeah that's what i said in previous thread.. good on himReplyCancel
I forget which musician said she always gets fingered when she crowd surfs. Iggy Azalea maybe?ReplyCancel
Well, Staind finally did something worth talking about. Kind of. Wish it could have been a better band but at least it's not ICPReplyCancel
Yes, that was Iggy Azalea.ReplyCancel
Good job fella!ReplyCancel
that one guy was so stupid. Yes we are starting to see things like 15 year old girls being grouped and molested by random guys as something to frown upon, dumbass. Good for the singer dude though maybe violence isn't the answer.ReplyCancel
Cleo, ummm do woman often get molested at Staind concerts?ReplyCancel
Yes Violet and she stopped doing it for that reason.ReplyCancel
She was wearing, like, two or three pairs of panties and a couple of pairs of tights and they were still getting through, so she stopped.ReplyCancel
Did anyone see that crowd surfing video of Katy Perry? Pure schadenfreudeReplyCancel
A heartfelt bravo to Aaron Lewis for doing the right thing and standing up for her.ReplyCancel
I should clarify, it didn't look like they were molesting her, they were just trying to pass her along in a giant "NODDITNODDITNODDIT!!" as she was doing it allll wrongReplyCancel
Re: the crowd surfing: GODDAMMIT I hate rape culture.ReplyCancel
@Violet every single girl I know who's crowd surfed at a show has been molested by someone while doing it. This is not a small number either.
I hate not doing something that someone who is biologically male "can" do but I'll concede on this one. Not worth it to me.ReplyCancel
Nobody gets molested at a Mandy Moore concert.ReplyCancel
This is bottom of the barrel molestation reporting, Fugazi Enty. I expect more from you. Where is cell phone footage of the girl? How about a link to her Facebook page? Where are the faps in a singer I never heard of crabbin about a broad he don't know?
This does remind me that it is Summer Concert Season, so I have to keep my eyes peeled on the Twitter for cell phone footage of parking lot BJs and 3days w/o a shower festival porkings. The ones where they are bent over, holding on to the chain link fence are the best.ReplyCancel
I would love to know of all the people who scream "BOYCOTT!!!" when a celebrity does something they disagree with are running out to buy the latest Staind album bc he did something nice.ReplyCancel
Yep! That was fascinating to me. I've always assumed in all cases there would maybe a quick boob/butt grope here and there with the occasional BUT inevitable crotch grope by an impulsive pervert but FINGERS IN her vagina? I was floored. Then, when she talked about how it became a Thing and people were tweeting her before her concerts saying they were going go for it? Whut? And that more women do it than men because they seem to think its OK or somehow less offensive TO TRY TO PUT THEIR FINGERS IN HER VAGINA since they have a vagina too. Nope! SO, these Women are implying that if a man slips her a finger its sexual assault but if a woman does it, its just funny? Someone should hunt those tweeters down and ask them! Every person on this Earth better keep their fingers out of other people's Vaginas unless explicitly invited! YOU disappointed me today those women!!! GrrrReplyCancel
I've been to tons of these festivals and also concerts where crowd surfing is the norm, hell I've done it myself quite a few times. Not to say every guy is copping a feel, but there are plenty of pervs that will shove their hand in your crotch to pass you along or full on grab your whole boob. I've seen girls wearing bikini tops go up and surprise! They lose their top.ReplyCancel
@sillygurl: right on! WTF is wrong with people?ReplyCancel
Oh come on Lady H, yeah Aaron L may only stand there or sit on a stool while he sings but they aren't that bad (says my inner 16 year old fan girl with a crush).ReplyCancel
Courtney Love also stated she doesn't crowd surf anymore cuz she was not only groped by grabbed & molested.
You know it's bad when Courtney won't do it anymore.ReplyCancel
@Violet remind him to give his wallet, phone, keys etc to someone (who isn't crowd surfing) for safe keeping. Drink plenty of water, he doesn't want to be that person who passes out in the pit due to heat stroke. Oh don't let him be That Guy, even if kids these days don't know the reference. Always always pick people up if they fall, keep his head up and watch for flailing doc martens flying above (in his case likely into) his head, and for fucks sake don't put anyone on his shoulders that's just rude lol.
I should add there are likely women out there who crowd surf and have never been groped or assaulted, I'm not trying to say if a girl crowd surfs it'll happen. But it happens a hell of a lot more than people think, just like many things it doesn't make headlines. I just happen to have a lot of experience with music festivals.ReplyCancel
*Standing Ovation* And violence toward the molesters is absolutely justifiable.ReplyCancel
@Violet-tell him to watch for flying soda bottles as well as doc martens. The closer you get to the stage the more shit you get thrown your way. Never turn your back on the crowd.ReplyCancel
He's my hero today – for doing what all humans should have done, but unfortunately, most don't. It's too bad females can't crowd surf without being fingered and groped, or worse. I'd say a good number of parents need to work on raising their sons better instead of dispersing yet another crop of would-be sexual assailants. If that weren't bad enough, they then blame the female when their special little snowflake rapes them.
I don't know of a single female who hasn't been groped, flashed or molested numerous times since they were at least 6 years old, myself included, and that is a f*cking travesty.ReplyCancel
Don't assume that just because you're a guy, you'll be fine if you go crowdsurfing–Trent Reznor was complaining in the '90s that people were sticking their fingers up his ass when he'd go out into the crowd (there's a reason he's wearing long pants now, folks). Then again, that may not even be enough: I distinctly remember a story a friend of mine told me in the mid-to-late '80s about the time she saw Peter Gabriel on the So tour. For years, one of the highlights of his live shows would be when he would fall over backwards into the crowd during "Lay Your Hands on Me"…well, this particular audience did a bit more than that. He went out fully dressed–jacket, shirt, pants, shoes, etc.–but by the time he made it back to the stage, all he had left were his pants, and those just barely. (IIRC, my friend ran into someone who got the label off his shirt, which said "100% linen." Now THERE'S a concert souvenir, eh?)
Now, anyone who's been at shows where crowdsurfing goes on knows that there's a certain amount of accidentally grabbing someone in a awkward way while trying not to drop them on their ass or your head, but there's a big damn difference between that and assault, be it sexual or non-sexual. WTF is wrong with people, anyway… *sigh*ReplyCancel
I was at a concert a long time ago at a small venue. I don't even remember which band I was watching – maybe Foo Fighters (Dave Grohl, swooon). A young girl was crowd surfing, but she was passed out. Very quickly her pants were removed and shirt was off. The lead singer stopped the show and had his security team rescue her. Scary shit.ReplyCancel
Peter Gabriel's crowdsurfing was famous back then. He fully expected to lose his shoes jacket and shirt on those ventures and he always had a second outfit ready (I saw that tour on LA). Going for his pants is a bit too much though. Some people are just assholes.ReplyCancel
FS: Yeah, she said he did seem to have more clothes ready to go. Still, though, why rip someone's clothes off like that? Unless he was wearing some kind of breakaway male stripper outfit, it's got to be painful when stuff gets yanked off like that.ReplyCancel
Gee, I'd agree with you, but…it's just not that hard to keep your fingers out of someone else's orifices. It's just not. Especially when they invariably have not just one, but two layers of clothing over them.
When's the last time you were in such close quarters with someone that you couldn't help but stick your finger in their vagina? Because it was *right there*?
Yeah, that'd be NEVER.
It's one thing to not want to risk concussion. Fair enough. But crowd-surfing is, in itself, relatively innocuous. Why can't we all just agree not to sexually assault people at concerts?ReplyCancel

|Gunnison Gorge National Conservation Area and Wilderness - Transcript
|Print Page
Welcome to the Bureau of Land Management's Gunnison Gorge National Conservation Area and Wilderness.
The Gunnison Gorge National Conservation Area, or NCA, is northeast of Montrose, Colorado, just downstream from the Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park. The Gunnison Gorge Wilderness lies at the center of the Conservation Area.
The landscape ranges from adobe badlands, to rugged pinyon-juniper covered slopes, to the spectacular river canyon of the Gunnison Gorge Wilderness. These areas are managed by the BLM Uncompahgre Field Office and offer visitors a wild and rugged back country experience.
Recreation opportunities abound in this area including wilderness whitewater kayaking and rafting, flat-water boating, gold medal trout fishing, big-game hunting, off-highway vehicle use, mountain biking, horseback riding, sightseeing, photography, hiking ,and wilderness backpacking.
At the heart of the Gunnison Gorge Wilderness is a 14-mile stretch of the Gunnison River that offers technical Class III and IV boating for rafters, kayakers and whitewater canoeists. Water flows are dam controlled and vary depending on winter snowpack. A maximum group size of 12 people is allowed in the wilderness. Fees are required for day-use and camping in the Wilderness. Campsites must be reserved on the day of the trip and the maximum stay for wilderness groups is 2 nights. Check with the BLM Uncompahgre Field Office for wilderness camping regulations.
Anglers from all over the world visit the Gunnison River for its outstanding gold-medal trout fishing and annual stonefly hatch. Anglers may only use artificial flies and lures. There is a bag limit of 4 brown trout in this area.
The Flat Top-Peach Valley Recreation Area provides over 9,700 acres for responsible motorized and non-motorized recreation. The Recreation Area offers two designated "open areas" where cross-country motorcycle, ATV, and mountain bike riding is permitted. The Recreation Area also provides large expanses of adobe hills and arroyos with over 75 miles of easy to expert-level signed routes. Outside of the open areas, all motorized and mechanical vehicles must stay on signed, designated routes.
In addition to the Flat Top-Peach Valley Recreation Area, the NCA's western side offers pinyon-juniper uplands that create scenic settings, challenging single track for motorcycles and mountain bikes and primitive four-wheel drive and ATV road and trail systems.
While visiting, please remember that motorized and mechanized travel is not permitted within the Gunnison Gorge Wilderness.
Car camping along the river and outside the wilderness is another great way to enjoy the area. Camping is permitted in designated sites only. The Cottonwood Grove camping area provides universal access campsites, toilets, and a fishing pier. Outside the river corridor and Wilderness, dispersed vehicle camping is allowed in most of the NCA. Regulations for group size, stay limit, sanitation and fire use vary upon location, so please check the Conservation Area Web site or the Uncompahgre Field Office for information.
Six trails provide access to the Wilderness, including: Chukar, Bobcat, Duncan, Ute, West River, and North Fork to Smith Fork. These trails range in length from 1 mile to 4 miles one-way, and vary in difficulty from easy to strenuous. Fees apply on Chukar, Bobcat, Duncan and Ute trails. Other trails outside the wilderness include: Eagle Valley, Sunset Rocks, and the 20-mile Redrocks Nighthorse Trail system which offers spectacular views of the Gunnison Gorge Wilderness and surrounding areas.
The Gunnison Gorge National Conservation Area and Gunnison Gorge Wilderness are managed by the BLM's Uncompahgre Field Office. For more information including required fees and permits, please call 970-240-5300 or visit the Web site at: www.blm.gov/co and click on the Gunnison Gorge National Conservation area link under the "special areas" section.
Please play safely while enjoying your public lands.

Cute but practical winter boot
"I was looking for a boot that would be functional during the winter but not look bulky and ugly like usual winter boots. These boots are great! They look great with jeans and keep my feet warm without being so warm that my feet sweat if I'm moving around a bit. It has been a little weird getting used to boots with zippers on the outside, I'm accustomed to dressier boots that have the zippers on the inside of the leg. My only complaint would be that on one small section on the front the material started peeling back, these look like leather but I don't think they are. To be fair I did not check the materials before I ordered, but it would be nice if the exterior material was just a little thicker or higher quality so it would not have snagged. It's really not that noticeable so I would say overall that these are some great boots!"

Integrity: Where Leadership Begins - A New Model of Integrity (PDF File of PowerPoint Slides)

Harvard NOM Working Paper No. 07-03
Presented at the Center for Public Leadership, John F. Kennedy School of Government, Harvard University, Boston, MA, May 10, 2007.
We present a positive model of integrity that provides powerful access to increased performance for individuals, groups, organizations, and societies. Our model reveals the causal link between integrity as we distinguish and define it, and increased performance and value-creation for all entities. And our model provides access to that causal link.
The philosophical discourse, and common usage as reflected in dictionary definitions, leave an overlap and confusion among the four phenomena of integrity, morality, ethics, and legality. This confounds the terms so that the efficacy and potential power of each of them is seriously diminished.
In this new model, we distinguish all four phenomena integrity, morality, ethics, and legality as existing within two separate realms, and within those realms as belonging to distinct and separate domains. Integrity exists in a positive realm devoid of normative content. Morality, ethics and legality exist in a normative realm of virtues, but in separate and distinct domains. This new model: 1) encompasses all four terms in one consistent theory, 2) makes the moral compass potentially available in each of the three virtue phenomena clear and unambiguous, and 3) does this in a way that raises the likelihood of those now clear moral compasses actually shaping human behavior.
This all falls out primarily from the unique treatment of integrity in our model as a purely positive phenomenon, independent of normative value judgments. Integrity is thus not about good or bad, or right or wrong, or what should or should not be.
We distinguish integrity as a phenomenon of the objective state or condition of an object, system, person, group, or organizational entity, and define integrity as: a state or condition of being whole, complete, unbroken, unimpaired, sound, perfect condition.
We assert that integrity (the condition of being whole and complete) is a necessary condition for workability, and that the resultant level of workability determines the available opportunity for performance. Hence, the way we treat integrity in our model provides an unambiguous and actionable access to superior performance (however one wishes to define performance).
For an individual we distinguish integrity as a matter of that person's word being whole and complete, and for a group or organizational entity as what is said by or on behalf of the group or organization being whole and complete. In that context, we define integrity for an individual, group, or organization as: Honoring one's word.
Oversimplifying somewhat, honoring your word as we define it means you either keep your word (do what you said you would do and by the time you said you would do it), or as soon as you know that you will not, you say that you will not to those who were counting on your word and clean up any mess caused by not keeping your word.
Honoring your word is also the route to creating whole and complete social and working relationships. In addition, it provides an actionable pathway to earning the trust of others.
We demonstrate that the application of cost-benefit analysis to one's integrity guarantees you will not be a trustworthy person (thereby reducing the workability of relationships), and with the exception of some minor qualifications ensures also that you will not be a person of integrity (thereby reducing the workability of your life). Therefore your performance will suffer. The virtually automatic application of cost-benefit analysis to honoring one's word (an inherent tendency in most of us) lies at the heart of much out-of-integrity and untrustworthy behavior in modern life.
In conclusion, we show that defining integrity as honoring one's word provides 1) an unambiguous and actionable access to superior performance and competitive advantage at both the individual and organizational level, and 2) empowers the three virtue phenomena.

Winners of 2009 SEED Awards Announced
Local Entrepreneurship Celebrated at the UN Commission on Sustainable Development
New York, 12 May 2009 The winners of the 2009 SEED Awards for Entrepreneurship in Sustainable Development were announced today at a high level award ceremony and reception. The international award recognizes innovation in local, environmentally-responsible and sustainable entrepreneurship.
Twenty local initiatives from across the developing world received this year's award. Together, the winners cover a diverse range of promising business models that will tackle poverty and environmental stewardship in areas such as water and waste management, sustainable energy, recycling, and fish farming.
The SEED Award is the flagship programme of the SEED Initiative, a partnership founded by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), and International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN).
The ceremony, which was attended by high-level delegates from government, civil society and the business community, was held in conjunction with the second week of this year's United Nations Commission on Sustainable Development (CSD). Taking advantage of the concentration of national delegations engaged in the CSD, the reception hoped to direct the collective attention of the conservation and development community to the contributions local entrepreneurs are making to attainment of international sustainable development objectives.
"This is an inspiring group of entrepreneurs who demonstrate that environmental sustainability and business can be synergistic goals," said Assistant Administrator of UNDP, Olav Kjørven. "It is this type of innovation and responsible entrepreneurship that will create jobs, provide for food security and save the environment. It is our objective at UNDP to promote these progressive business ideas as they are the seeds of future economies and are one of the key instruments that will allow us to achieve the Millennium Development Goals. UNDP is proud to be a SEED Initiative partner and I congratulate the 2009 SEED Award Winners on their outstanding achievements and leadership."
The SEED Awards are distinctive in the growing field of environment and development awards in that they identify, profile and support promising, locally-driven, start-up enterprises working in partnership in developing countries to improve livelihoods, tackle poverty, and manage natural resources sustainably. Rather than the traditional monetary prize, applicants compete for a package of individually-tailored capacity development a suite of that will help the winners to grow their business idea and establish lasting partnerships across sectors.
In closing remarks, Achim Steiner, UN Under-Secretary-General and Executive Director of UNEP said: "The $3 trillion-worth of stimulus packages assembled to revive the global economy can be spent on keeping ailing industries, such as gas guzzling car companies and polluting factories on life support systems or can be invested in a sustainable Green Economy for the 21st century. The 2009 SEED Award winners are shining examples of the kinds of low carbon, innovation-led, recycling and green job enterprises shooting up across the globeenterprises that echo to the multiple challenges of here and now, enterprises that with just a fraction of the bail-out billions and trillions could be the new Microsoft, Siemens, Tata, and Unilever able to deliver tomorrow's economy today."
About SEED: The SEED Initiative identifies, profiles and supports promising, locally-driven, start-up enterprises working in partnership in developing countries to improve livelihoods, tackle poverty and marginalisation, and manage natural resources sustainably. SEED develops learning resources for the broad community of social and environmental entrepreneurs, informs policy- and decision-makers, and aims to inspire innovative, entrepreneurial approaches to sustainable development.
SEED is a global network founded in 2002 by UNEP, UNDP and IUCN to contribute towards the goals in the UN's Millennium Declaration and the commitments made at the Johannesburg World Summit on Sustainable Development.
SEED's Partners: The United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP); the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP); IUCN (International Union for Conservation of Nature); and the governments of Germany, India, the Netherlands, Norway, South Africa, Spain, the United Kingdom and the United States of America.
Competition for the 2009 SEED Awards was particularly fierce. Winners were selected by an international jury of sustainable development experts.
Julia Marton-Lefèvre, Director General of IUCN who was also in attendance said of the level of competition: "This fourth round of SEED Awards demonstrates resoundingly that there are a vast number of innovative and practical ideas in the world about how to make sustainable development happen. These SEED winners were selected from more than 1100 applications from close to 100 countries worldwide, representing the collaborative efforts of about 5000 organizations from the private sector, non-governmental organizations, women's groups, labour organizations, public authorities, international agencies and academia. Our hope is that with SEED's support, they will grow and inspire similar initiatives elsewhere."
Beyond the annual SEED Award, the SEED Initiative works to learn from the experiences of the individual start-ups to derive tools and guidance that can be helpful for all entrepreneurs who are aiming to deliver social and environmental benefits. The latest tool, a major on line resource developed by SEED in partnership with the International Institute for Sustainable Development and the Commission on Environmental Cooperation, was launched at the reception. Set up as a wiki, at
www.entrepreneurstoolkit.org, this tool is designed so that social and environmental entrepreneurs around the world can write about their experience with setting up and running their businesses.
The 2009 SEED Award Winners:
- Bangladesh: "Solar conversion of traditional kerosene hurricane lamps". A national NGO in partnership with a local NGO and a cooperative have developed an innovative device called "SuryaHurricane", a low-cost solar lantern made from recycled parts of the conventional and much used kerosene lantern.

A cooperation between a national NGO, a research institution and a small-sized business aims to avoid bio-diversity losses and degradation of the agricultural lands, by recycling waste from rice-growing for the production of cement that will be used in the production of low cost housing materials.
- Brazil: "One Million Cistern Program (P1MC)". Local NGOs and local community associations have joined forces with the national government and international agencies to develop and build one million home cisterns to collect and store rain water in the semi-arid region, bringing access to potable water for poor rural families.
- Brazil: "The sustainable use of Amazonian seeds". Regional development in the Brazilian Amazon is the aim of the partners, achieved by encouraging the organization of the local communities as a co-operative, and by transferring technologies and training the community in the production of oils made from Amazonian seeds, resulting in increased incomes for these communities.
- Brazil: "Eco-Amazon Piabas of Rio Negro". A national NGO, a cooperative of small producers and public authorities are working together to build a niche market of specialty ornamental fishes and to introduce a fair trade system through socio-environmentally responsible fishing.
- Burkina Faso: "Nafore & Afrisolar energy kiosks". A small business and international NGOs are cooperating to provide sustainable energy supply to poor communities by expanding the use of "Nafore", a PV-based telephone charger, powered 100% on solar energy.
- Colombia: "Oro Verde® - Facilitating market access for artisan miners". A national NGO and local community associations are engaged in an initiative to reverse environmental degradation and social exclusion produced by illegal and uncontrolled mechanized mining.

If you are a shopping fanatic, you know that San Diego is one of the best places in California to shop. While others may dream about the sunny skies, pristine beaches, and fun and exciting downtown district, you gravitate to the area's large outdoor malls and endless options for shopping. However with so many shopping destinations to explore, how do you know where to start? Here are a few suggestions and some insider tips to navigating the malls in San Diego.
A great shopping mall and downtown attraction is Horton Plaza. Why visit Horton Plaza you ask? This multi level outdoor shopping mall offers a premier shopping experience unlike any other. While the mall includes your typical retailers and shops, you can also find a movie theater, venue for live plays and a comedy club.
Insider Tip: Horton Plaza has its own private parking lot. However, parking is only free for the first 3 hours if you spend $10 at one of the stores in the mall and get it validated on the way out.
After exploring Horton Plaza, step outside and check out the shopping in the popular downtown district, the Gaslamp Quarter. While many view the Gaslamp Quarter as a hub for entertainment and nightlife, there are many unique boutiques and shops that feature everything from jewelry to children's clothing. Offering a true downtown shopping experience, visitors can easily spend the entire day walking up and down the 16 blocks of the Gaslamp Quarter. For more information about downtown shopping, click here.
Insider Tip: Because the downtown district is also home to the San Diego Convention Center and the Padres stadium, the area may be crowded and streets are known to close frequently for events throughout the year.
If you are staying at a cheap hotel in downtown San Diego, you can use your savings to shop at the nearby Fashion Valley Mall. Although still undergoing construction, the addition of new wicker seating areas, palm trees and an expansive outdoor food court have helped transform the mall into a tropical oasis. For the avid shopper, the far end of the mall has also become home to high end retailers including Louis Vuitton, Prada, Hermes, Jimmy Choo, and more.
Insider Tip: There are eight different parking lots along the perimeter of Fashion Valley. The lots in the back of the mall, between the anchor stores of Macy's and Bloomingdales, offer the most parking options with a multi-story lot. If you do not want to drive, the bus and trolley both run directly to Fashion Valley.
Have any other tips for shopping in San Diego? Share them with us!

Our Philosophy &
Almost all of our full-time first year MBA and MSCF students seek a summer internship. We believe the best way to combine theory with practice is through a business internship. Our first year MBA students are well-equipped with an understanding of the functional areas of marketing, finance, production management, information systems, accounting and human resource management. Our students have also acquired sophisticated analytical decision-making and communication skills, as well as a thorough knowledge of economics and today's management environment. Additionally, all students have strong basic computer skills and knowledge of many software applications.
Benefits to You
Summer Assignments
We recommend that companies provide an assignment that will utilize skills learned during the first year of the MBA or MSCF programs. Projects that interns can complete from initiation to finish, including written and oral presentations, are ideal assignments for students and employers. While the internship is separate from the job recruiting process, with no obligation to make a permanent job offer, many students choose to return to their internship firm when offers are made.
Availability of Students
Internships begin in mid-May and continue through late August. Temporary summer relocation to your area is not an issue, and we suggest that internships be 10 – 12 weeks in length.

Category: OLED TV
LG's $12,000 OLED television has been ordered by more than 100 people.
Shortly after its unveiling at CES 2013, LG's new 55 inch OLED television was made available for pre-order. In the short six weeks, more than 100 people from South Korea have placed an order for the television, which costs in excess of $10,000.
Recently LG has been aggressive in its pursuit of World No. 1 TV maker Samsung. In addition to being the first company to launch an OLED television, LG was first in launching a UHD television, on par with Samsung in revealing the world's first curved OLED television and is currently entangled in litigation over claims their passive 3D technology is preferred over Samsung's Active 3D.
Televisions using OLED panels are expected to replace commonly used LCD panels as they're brighter, have a wider viewing angle, are thinner, faster and have extraordinary contrast ratios. For instance, LG's OLED offering has a response time 1,000 times faster than LCD televisions and an impressive 1,000,000:1 contrast ratio. It weighs less than 10 kilograms and its screen is just 4mm shallow.
In spite of showcasing OLED televisions at the past two CES shows, vendors haven't been able to release them due to the difficulties associated in mass production.
The first LG OLED television will be available in South Korea on Monday. LG's head of marketing, Lambro Skropidis, confirmed a 55 inch OLED Television will go on sale in Australia by late March with a tentative price of $11,999.
Samsung has yet to announce when its OLED television will be released.
