Strategy and Planning for EMC Managed Services OnDemand
Service Description
Many organizations have complex information business processes that are hampered by poor implementations of technology. There are typically multiple instances of Enterprise Content Management (ECM) tools independently managed, siloed, and not integrated. This leads to governance and support challenges, and in the end, very little value for the technology investments that have been made.
Technology Service
Embarking on the establishment of an Enterprise Roadmap takes you through the process of revisiting the core business requirements, defiining a future state vision to support the business strategy, then identifying the actionable steps to make the vision a reality. This ties together the critical components of Governance, Process and Technology to realize the benefits of your technology investments and make ECM an enabler, not a hindrance.
- Technology alignment
- Realization of software investment
- Improved efficiency
- Risk reduction
- Flexibility and options for future growth

Marc Morrone was born in 1960 in the Bronx and, when he was 2, his family moved to Show More
I have a question about birds that have just recently been attracted to a river birch just outside our bedroom window. As soon as the sun rises, the birds fly to the tree and then seem to be attracted to my bedroom windows. They fly from the birch tree right into the windows, smashing into them and acting like an early morning alarm clock. Do you have any suggestions on how we can alter this behavior? --Arlene Kay, Bellmore
Tree branches are reflected in the glass of your bedroom windows and the birds -- most likely starlings -- are flying into the glass to land on the branches they see in it. They do not actually see into your bedroom and, if they could, there is absolutely nothing in it to attract them.
The only way to prevent this is to put paper on the outside of the window so the birds do not see the reflections of the branches anymore. Putting the paper on the inside of the glass will not eliminate the reflections. Starlings will roost in large flocks at night in the winter. Your birch tree must have just recently attracted them so they are still figuring out their favorite roosting spots in it. After a few weeks of the paper being on the window, they will all have found their favorite spots and will become less likely to be lured by reflections.
Birds in the springtime like to fight with their reflections in windows, but this situation is different because they are only looking to perch in the branches they are seeing.
We just got a Labrador puppy from a breeder here on Long Island. We are feeding her the same brand of food she was eating at the breeder's. I would like to know if I need to add any vitamin supplements. The breeder said supplements were not needed, but it seems the pet stores have lots of dog vitamin and mineral supplements. My family and I take multivitamins every day, so does it not make sense that our dog would need them, too? --Richard Andrews, Lake Grove
Human food is not always balanced or supplemented, with the possible exception of breakfast cereals. That's why many people take supplements. However, just about all brands of formulated and prepared pet foods have all the vitamins and minerals the average dog needs -- especially when you realize the average dog spends most of its day sleeping. So supplementation is not usually needed unless you are creating a homemade diet for your dog or feeding your dog so much table food that it is not eating its formulated food.
Some pet keepers brag to me that they feed their dogs the finest steak, but steak has just about no calcium or other minerals in it, and a dog on such a diet will surely suffer some deficiencies. On the other hand, I have met pet keepers who really go overboard with the supplements for pets that are on formulated diets. Too much supplementation is just as bad.
Your vet is the best guide. A growing puppy will be taken to see a vet several times in its first year. If the vet thinks supplements are needed for that particular dog, then he or she will tell you.
My own dogs that are young and healthy eat a commercial brand of dog food with some vegetables and fruits that we give them as treats. I never found the need to supplement their diets with anything other then some flaxseed oil to help prevent their coats from shedding too much. My older dogs get supplements that my vets recommend, based on how their age has compromised them.

TRIPS and Its Achilles' Heel
Peter K. Yu
Texas A&M University School of Law
June 30, 2011
Journal of Intellectual Property Law, Vol. 18, pp. 479-531, 2011
Drake University Law School Research Paper No. 11-31
Written for the "15 Years of TRIPS Implementation" Symposium, this article examines why the TRIPS Agreement fails to provide effective global enforcement of intellectual property rights. It attributes such failure to five sets of challenges: historical, economic, tactical, disciplinary, and technological.
The article then outlines the various actions taken by both developed and less developed countries to steer the TRIPS Agreement and the larger international intellectual property system toward their preferred positions. While developed countries push for the development of stronger enforcement norms, less developed countries resist those demands and complain about the use of bilateral, plurilateral, and regional trade agreements to establish TRIPS-plus standards.
The article concludes with four lessons that can be drawn from the continuous battle between developed and less developed countries over international intellectual property enforcement norms. Given the significance of effective enforcement to both developed and less developed countries, it is the hope of this article that a better understanding of these four lessons will lead to a more balanced, robust, and sustainable global intellectual property enforcement regime.

These are so cute!
"I had decided that this fall, I wanted to get a pair of oxfords and had several picked out on DSW's website - these shoes were not one of those. However, when I went into the store, I was immediately drawn to these. They were so cute and girly with the lace insert and I loved the camel color - I couldn't believe that I had missed these on the website! They fit true to size - I usually wear an 8 in flats and an 8 in these fit perfectly, even with trouser socks. Very happy that I made the trip into the store and found these!"

"Purchased as a gift for my daughter. I ordered same size as a previous pair by same maker, so hope this fits her the same. They've not been worn yet, but the stitching appears to be good quality and I like the lace insets. The color is a medium tan so should go with many outfits."

Anberlin frontman talks touring with Smashing Pumpkins, new album
Anberlin frontman Stephen Christian admits he was starstruck all summer, when his band was opening for Smashing Pumpkins.
"Being a fan, I was literally going to the show every night," Christian told SoundSpike. "I walk in the room. I watch some of the songs. I see all their light displays. It's just incredible. I'm in the show, but I'm an observer. I'm a part of it. It's fascinating."
Christian shared a story he said said he's never told a reporter before -- one that shows he goes way back with Smashing Pumpkins' singer Billy Corgan.
"Right after high school, I worked at Busch Gardens in Tampa, Florida," Christian said, laughing. "I was a photo taker for rides. You know, on the rollercoaster you come down, you make a freaky face and they take a picture and they give it to you. Well, they shut down part of my park. I was like, 'What the heck?' It was Billy Corgan. He rode the ride and I said, 'Mr. Corgan, here's your picture from Kumba.' I haven't told him that. I literally still have the picture. I made another picture."
Christian and his Florida-bred band were touring with Smashing Pumpkins to promote their latest CD, "Vital." Now the act is playing select holiday shows before heading overseas for a tour. The record was produced by Aaron Sprinkle, who worked with Anberlin early in its career.
"He really pushed us into experimenting," Christian said. "On this record, there's a lot more electronic influences. We also added a choir. We'd never had a girl sing on the record. This record, we had three different girls. It was pretty incredible to be able to kind of incorporate something as obscure as a trumpet section. We were free to experiment but it still sounds like and comes together like Anberlin."
The singer explained he is pleased that his fans understand that Anberlin is evolving as a band without losing sight of its identity.
"I hate when you buy a record from an artist you love and it completely sounds like the antithesis of their last record," Christian said. "I'm all for change. I'm all for band growth. But when you become something so unrecognizable that I don't even want to listen anymore, you lose fans because they don't recognize you and it's not what attracted them to you in the first place."
He added he doesn't want to hear "part two" of his favorite band's last record. He loves to hear growth. Otherwise, it would just make sense to start a side project and/or change the act's name.
"Vital," Christian said, is an important album for Anberlin.
"'Vital' was something to strive toward in the beginning of the record," Christian said. "So whether we accomplished this being our 'vital' record or not, for us it was a sign of something ahead of us to strive at and strive for."

Well the spoilers weren't completly correct. What a boring ass chapter, took me 2 minutes to read.
Wasted ink...

I didn't think it was bad.
Some of us called Kubo revealing what Ichigo was really seeing in this chapter, and it does seem that he was seeing an entirely different thing. This chapter basically confirms that his stupid face last chapter was not because of being outmatched, but because he was surprised at the crazy things the captains were doing to Hinamori. However, he should have spoke up sooner.
I wonder if Ichigo's yell helped make the captains realize the illusion and snap momentarily out of it, or was it Aizen's choice for the captains to see Hinamori's death?
tons and tons of black ink!
On a lighter note...at least Ichigo can see whats really going on, but too bad he's too busy thinking about exclamation marks, to do anything.
Thought it was cool that it turned out to be Hinamori that Toshiro stabbed.
Other then that, its another chapter of Aizen owning extremely powerful captains.
Beware of the Kyubii
Stev3child - The biggest pussy of them all is rokudaime sennin though. If he was a real man, he wouldn't have relied on hax god-given powers to seal the Jyubi. He would have suplexed that bitch and ripped each tail from the beast one by one with his bare hands.
i thought it was pretty good...i still dont understand why the captains are acting so rashly, knowing about complete hypnosis....and im not sure why aizen is not targeting hishhigo using everyone....
Just a normal Bleach chapter. Nothing special.
Ava & Sig created by Maxv Credits to IIDX v
as i said of course it wasn't over, shame about hinamori getting a beating from all those captains tho, and if ichigo was seeing the real thing that was happening why didn't he say something before the drove a sword thru hinamori's heart or has he seen aizen's shikai too. For all we know the whole battle with the captain's fighting the espadas might have all been an illusion. Man, he just pawned 4 captain class fighters at the same time, even my fav character shunsui and shinji.
like all the past chapters i absolutely loved it! captains owned by aizen...only sad part to me is hinamori. she was one of my favs...

Faith as It's Lived
Watching singer Stevie Wonder's acceptance speech of the Library of Congress Gershwin Prize for Popular Song, I was struck by the tenor and natural way he spoke about his faith and invoked God's name.
"But what's really exciting for me today is that we truly have lived to see a time where America has a chance to again live up to the greatness that it deserves to be seen and known as, through the love and the caring and the commitment of a president, as in our president, Barack Obama.
It's exciting 'cause I know my children will be able to say, 'I was born when there was the first African American president. Yeah, I can do that too!' But not only can they do that, but all children of all various ethnicities understand that they can speak in truth. They can talk about loving and caring about this country. They can talk about being a united people of the United States of America. They can live that dream that Dr. King talked about so long ago.
And if those in this country and throughout the world — you can put down your spirits of hate and open up your hearts to receive God's ever commitment of love, then we can be a united people of the world. If we can think that big, and feel that strong, then I believe, as is said to me by my God, impossible is unacceptable. We don't know the miracles that will be bestown on us because of that."

"I was pleasantly surprised by how comfortable these were. I haven't worn this brand in ages because of that...and because they usually run narrow. I'm so happy I decided to tried these on in the store! There's ample room in the toe box and feels like you're walking on clouds...I've used them for both walking and running. They provide comfort, stability and protection...runs true to size and very durable. I love them so much I bought them in another color!"

By P. BRUCE HILL LAINE W. ADAIRUtahAmerican Energy
P. Bruce Hill, president and chief executive officer and Laine W. Adair, general manager, each of whom have 33 years of coal mine engineering and management experience, held a press conference to "set the record straight," regarding the recent tragic events at the Crandall Canyon Mine of UtahAmerican Energy, Inc. and activities of Robert E. Murray, chairman, president and chief executive officer of Murray Energy Corporation of this regard.
"There is an outrage among many Utahns relative to the recent statements about Governor Jon Huntsman Jr. and the reporting of the Salt Lake City Tribune newspaper relative to this tragedy and Mr. Murray," they advised. "While our efforts are still focused on the rescue of the six trapped miners, in order to settle down the disgust with the Governor and the Tribune's reporting, we want to advise the following," they said.
1. "Robert E. Murray arrived at the Crandall Canyon Mine in a few hours of the two seismic events on Aug. 6 and has never left for the ensuing three weeks. He has been living in a cramped trailer and eating whatever he can obtain, to direct the rescue efforts for the six trapped miners and to administer to their families."
"For the initial days, without any assistance from anyone, Mr. Murray personally administered the needs of the families of the six trapped miners, meeting with them every three hours. It is true that because without sleep and as a result of three deaths and six other injuries in the rescue, Mr. Murray raised his voice in two meetings because he knew that the families were being mislead in what others were advising them, but he had literally dozens of meetings with the families that were considerate and compassionate in manner over the past three weeks."
"To allow Mr. Adair and I to focus on the rescue efforts, Mr. Murray totally handled the newspaper, electronic media, the politicians that arrived, and directed the rescue efforts in conjunction with the Federal Mine Safety and Health Administration. He also, for the first 10 days or so, did more than anyone else to tend to the needs and comfort of the miner's families."
2. "When the seismic activity of Aug. 16 trapped seven of his employees and two MSHA inspectors, Mr. Murray, who was living at the mine, immediately took a cap-light from another miner outside and went underground and personally helped dig out the dead and injured miners with his own hands," said Hill and Adair. "He never hesitated a minute, he was there during the rescue of all nine of those people trapped. He prepared a list of their names and injuries and gave them to MSHA outside of the mine. He was also one of the last to leave the site of the rescue."
"He prayed for his miners that evening and administered to their needs. Because of the excellent efforts of the employees of UtahAmerican, the lives of six injured miners were saved," said Adair.
"The efforts both underground and on the surface were carried out with exemplary fashion," said Hill.
"The tragedy is that three men died and six were injured," they said.
3. "It was Mr. Murray that administered to the families of his two deceased employees and the five injured miners and their families. No one from MSHA or anywhere else was involved in that effort except Mr. Murray and the UtahAmerican employees."
4. "This, plus the trauma of participating in the actual recovery, slowed Mr. Murray's ability to deal with the families of the trapped miners for a few days.
5. "We have never seen the chief executive officer of any company, let alone any coal company be out in front with the media and public and allow us to perform rescue efforts, which he was also directing. As Mr. Murray has literally gone without sleep for the past three weeks and has never left his mine except to meet with his employees or administer to the families of the miners involved with the rescue, whom are truly heroes, or the miners themselves."
6. "Mr. Murray directed more than 34 pieces of massive mining equipment and 134 rescue miners, 80 from West Ridge Mine, in the rescue efforts, he has drilled six bore holes, nearly 2,000 feet, in an attempt to find the trapped miners, now drilling the seventh. This is all at an expense of tens of millions of dollars, which no one in our companies has ever mentioned, as finding the trapped miners has been our only focus. Mr. Murray has worked as a team, in the words of Assistant Secretary of Labor, Richard A. Stickler, he has cooperated with MSHA and MSHA has cooperated with him in the entire rescue effort."
7. "Mr. Murray has shown every expression of compassion and hurt not only for the families of the six trapped miners, but the families of his two deceased employees and the five injured ones."
8. "Our biggest problem right now," said Hill, "is to keep the thousands of persons from these communities from just standing on the governor's office in Salt Lake City. Mr. Murray has advised all of his employees to be calm and not be upset with the accusations of Governor Jon Huntsman Jr. relative to Mr. Murray, Murray Energy and UtahAmerican, as well as the reporting of the Salt Lake Tribune," said Hill.
9. "The full attention and focus of this horrific event behooves any political demagoguery," said Hill. "Mr. Murray and all personnel of UtahAmerican and Murray Energy have totally centered their efforts on the rescue over the past three weeks," he said. "Governor Huntsman has displayed an unbelievable lack of understanding of what has been transpiring over the past three weeks. It is unfortunate that the Governor of Utah has engaged in language and statements in an attempt to damage the respect for Mr. Murray, Murray Energy, UtahAmerican, and most especially all mining families in the state, and those in our communities that support its miners.
We can tell you, with many years of mining experience, we have never seen a leader in such a tragic emergency any better than Mr. Murray and what he has done. Further, he has undertaken personal efforts to make sure that no tragedies can befall our remaining Tower and West Ridge mines," said Hill and Adair.
10. "It is unfortunate that we who have actually been conducting the rescue effort believe that we must respond to the statements and accusations of Governor Jon Huntsman Jr. and the Salt Lake Tribune.
However, we are doing this in an attempt to calm the outrage that has erupted against the Governor and that newspaper in our communities," said Adair and Hill.

Skip to comments.Did John Kerry Break State and Federal Law?(vanity)
Posted on 10/22/2004 9:58:01 AM PDT by quack
Only my third thread post,so be gentle.
Did John Kerry break state and federal law during his goose hunt?All of the photos I've seen DO NOT show a "tag" attached to any goose.Ohio state,and therefor federal,law requires that all migratory game birds that you have killed,but are not in posession of,be tagged with pertinent information.John Kerry said he was "Too lazy" to carry his own bird.If that goose did not have a tag,then I submit that Kerry is violation of state and federal law.
Tagging:No person shall give,put,or leave any migratory game birds at any place OR IN THE CUSTODY OF ANOTHER PERSON unless the birds are tagged by the hunter with the following information:(1)the hunters signature;(2)the hunters address;(3)the total number of birds involved,by species;and(4)the dates such birds were killed.No person or business shall receive or have in custody any migratory game birds BELONGING TO ANOTHER PERSON UNLESS SUCH BIRDS ARE PROPERLY TAGGED.
DUAL VIOLATION.Violation of state migratory bird regulations is also a violation of federal regulations.
Page 9
Here's what I think happened:
Kerry didn't bag a goose at all.
Kerry asked someone else if he could carry their goose out for the photo-op.
That person, aware of the law, explained it to Kerry.
So, Gooseless Kerry just said he was "too lazy" to carry his.
OTOL Maybe Kerry didn't shoot the bird. Maybe the person carrying it was the actual hunter......Kerry just went along to observe....Remember no press was allowed near. (p.s. pass it on!)
Good catch.
There's another thread here on this somewhere. I posted the same regulation as you did but the goose hunters said it's not enforced.
hhhmm! We're thinking on the same lines....Logical explanation.
Love your name...he's a traitor too but no one has done anythibng about that either!
You would hope a judge wouldn't follow the law?
Some laws are stupid and shouldn't be enforced. Or do you believe that judges should enforce all laws on the books to the letter of the law and to their fullest extent?
Who decides which laws are stupid?
Ah, the old answer a question with a question tactic. It was a simple yes/no question. Please answer.
I do, but only when those laws are detrimental to liberals...;>)
Did Kerry even have a hunting license?
As much as I'd love to nail him, I'd hate to see it on such a bad law.
No, wait. I'd love to see it on such a bad law, so he can get rid of it. The polticians seem quicker to act when it's their problem.
I don't think it counts if the birds were already dead before any shot was fired. We all know that Kerry didn't shoot anything, he can't even throw a baseball for God's sake and it takes more coordination to nail a goose in flight.
Laws are for the little people....
Ah,the old,some laws don't really need enforcing tactic.
The law is the law.It's up to us to know and follow them or vote for change,so yes,the law should be followed.
If someone checks they may find that he didn't even bother to get a hunting license.
look a little further in the reg - is there a clause stating it doesnt have to be filled out until you return to camp or your vehicle ?
see post#20...
Oh, was that the "Can I gits me a huntin' license here?"
Rush played a clip of Kerry requesting his license at a sporting goods store.So,yes he did have a license.
Yup..dats der won...
No.You are no longer in "posession" the moment you hand someone else your bird.I was an avid waterfowl hunter at one time.Hence my screen name.
He's never hunted before (as you can tell by the way he holds his rifle), so he probably couldn't hit one. I never heard of anybody not bagging and tagging - unless they had none.
We the people, actually.
Only the Princes in our government have been power-grabbing at will.
Looking at those pictures, am I the only one that noticed he;
Had no mud on his clothes or his shoes(he was wearing no boots, something strange for a bird hunter)
While the guy carrying the bird had mud..
Except if you are a Democrat and want the option of voting via provisional ballots in several different counties.
Then no law, state or federal, applies.
It's pretty simple, really.
Question for you.
Was it Canada Geese they shot yesterday? Were they on state or federal property?
I'm curious, because up here in Northern Ohio, we have a hellacious Canada Geese problem, but if you kill them or harm their eggs, you get nailed on federal charges.
Everyone kept saying they hit Canada Geese, but I think the media is confused about that.
Yes he did, but he's been practicing breaking Federal laws since 1971.
The gun thing really stuck out at me.
He is holding it like little girls hold their first guns in Ohio and West Virginia - it's for safety, and a law.
However, most seasoned hunters don't even bother (another unenforced law) because they've been hunting for decades - you can tell by the way he was walking with it that he probably never touched one before. There may be something more "off" with it, but this was so glaring - even the guys he was with didn't even bother with the pretense of the "safety" crap - nobody does.
Well, being that you live in Alabama, I hope you have notified the local authorities that next Sunday massive violations of the law banning the wearing of masks in public are going to occur and you expect them to uphold the law, arrest, and prosecute the violaters.
And being that you have a daughter, I hope you do not allow her to willfully violate the law.
Also, I hope you never violate the ever important law banning the playing of Dominos on Sunday.
And if you wife ever goes to Mobile, make sure she doesn't wear pumps with high, sharp heels. That would be against the law.
And, since I am from NC, here are some laws in serious need of enforcement in NC...
Forest City NC: You must stop and call City Hall before entering town in an automobile. This is so the townspeople will have time to go out and hold their horses until you get through town.
NC State Law: It is illegal to sing off key
Another state law: All couples staying overnight in a hotel must have a room with double beds that are at least two feet apart. Making love in the space between the beds is strictly forbidden.
Now, what were you saying about judges enforcing all laws to their fullest extent?
How would the warden know that he didn't shoot over the legal limit unless the goose was tagged?Happens all the time.Someone shoots over the limit and tries the "it's my friends goose,duck,whatever...."
That's how The Snob thinks "regular folk" talk.
Yes,it was Canada geese.
How is that legal?
Unless we're being lied to up here.
I'm confused.
Please enlighten.
I'd love to beat the crap out of him for violating a federal law, but I know that is only in my dreams...
Hey magician.Please make yourself disappear from this thread.
A response from someone unable to defend their position.
There is a season for Canada goose hunting.During this time,you are allowed to kill Canada geese.However,all migratory birds are federally protected.From Mourning Doves to Cananda Geese.This means that the federal government sets the dates of these hunts and rules and regulations that hunters must follow.
Actually I fully believe it. I live in Mahoning County, Ohio and Kerry went with Rep. Ted Strickland, who is the (D) rep. for both part of Mahoning and Columbiana and a bunch of other rural counties. The only way Strickland got elected instead of a Republican was because he was a hunter, and a moderate. South of Mahoning is very rural, moral-based areas. Kerry went with Strickland thinking maybe some of his gun-protection voters would take note. Unfortunately this is the way politics works. However, no better than Bush having the press over to watch him cut wood in his back yard.
You don't have to tag farm raised Geese. Look at the thing. it is fat, and has a fat neck. Wild geese aren't fat, and don't have big fat necks. They just flew 2000 miles from the acric for Gods sake. Does that look like a tired exausted goose?Wild geese have thinner, longer necks.
Have you ever saw a goose land in a corn field of standing corn? Pictures speak a thousand words. The trouble is, most people don't hunt, so they don't notice these things.
I do not need to defend anything.You are simply trolling.
This is an old ploy tried by those that want to get their game home without using their tag. I don't hunt geese but if you don't tag your deer immediately and you get caught, you are in for trouble.
Further evidence that you can't defend your position.
Next thing your going to tell me is that there is no such thing as a "victimless crime."
I contend there is.

The Crusaders kept their Super Rugby title hopes alive on Friday with a crucial 28-21 victory over tournament leaders the Chiefs.
The Crusaders kept their Super Rugby title hopes alive on Friday with a crucial 28-21 win over tournament leaders the Chiefs in Hamilton.
Defeat would have left the seven-time champions facing the prospect of missing the play-offs for the first time in eleven years but four vital points ahead of a home game against the struggling Western Force next week means they are now a safe bet to make the cut.
The result is only the Chiefs' third loss this year and means the Stormers are now within striking distance of top spot in the overall standings.
With so much at stake it was always going to be an epic clash, but with competitions for All Blacks jerseys featuring across the park, even more spice was added to the fiery mixture. And the protagonists didn't disappoint.
The Crusaders raced into a 20-6 lead early on thanks to tries from Kieran Read and Luke Romano, but the Chiefs clawed their way back into contention via a touchdown from Brodie Retallick to trail 20-16 at the break.
Andy Ellis's second-half score was cancelled out by a phenomenal try from Sonny Bill Williams but the Crusaders' advantage at the set-piece and a monumental late defensive effort proved enough to keep the Chiefs at bay.
Sam Cane and Tawera Kerr-Barlow combined to allow Chiefs fly-half Aaron Cruden to open the scoring from the kicking tee soon after kick-off but the first 20 minutes belonged to the Crusaders.
Dan Carter was given a chance to reply almost immediately but hit the post from long range. Retallick's knock-on from the rebound gave the visitors a golden opportunity to attack at the first set-piece and when the Chiefs scrum was penalised under their sticks, Carter levelled the scores. The Chiefs never held the lead again.
Read rammed the advantage home on the ten-minute mark when he crashed over following a break by Robbie Fruean, and Carter's conversion put the Crusaders up 10-3.
Cruden pulled three points back for the tournament leaders but Carter showed the youngster why he is New Zealand's incumbent pivot by knocking over a drop-goal just a minute later to lengthen the Crusaders' lead and keep the pressure on.
It didn't take long for the men in red to strike again and Romano bagged their second try when the Chiefs failed to handle a cheeky grubber from Ellis. Carter's extras gave the Crusaders a healthy gap at 20-6 at the end of the first quarter.
The next 20 minutes saw the Chiefs come storming back though and when Kerr-Barlow gave Retallick a perfectly-timed pass, no one was going to stop the big second-row from close range.
Cruden provided the conversion and another penalty to cap a long period of sustained pressure from the hosts to cut the gap to just four points at 20-16.
Carter missed a long-range effort on the stroke of half-time but the Crusaders were first to score in the second stanza. The home side had reason to feel aggrieved though after TMO Bryce Lawrence awarded the try despite a clear second movement to push Ellis across the line.
The Chiefs' reply came via a moment of magic from SBW, who had been rather quiet all night but shrugged off four defenders to score after a ruck steal from Kerr-Barlow.
Like Carter a few minutes earlier, Cruden missed the conversion to leave the Crusaders 25-21 ahead going into the last quarter.
Crucially, Carter found his range to land a penalty and extend the lead to seven, meaning the Chiefs had to cross the whitewash.
Asaeli Tikoirotuma was denied by inches in the corner but the hosts were camped on the Crusaders' try-line in the closing stages. Wave after wave of drives and successive penalties came to nothing and Williams will feel guilty for going it alone with the final play of game when he had a two-man overlap on his outside.
It's a decision that could have a massive impact on the outcome of the tournament.
The scorers:
For Chiefs:
Tries: Retallick, Williams
Con: Cruden
Pens: Cruden 3
For Crusaders:

As a thank you, we're giving away free Top 500 Guides starting Mon., May 13. Stay tuned on Twitter with hashtags #Top500Guide and #Trivia.
Each year in April, Internet Retailer's research staff is barraged with e-mails from our sources. They write: "When is the new Top 500 Guide coming out?" "Can we see a copy of our listing?" "How did the others in our category do?" or my favorite (to which our answer is always some variation of "No" and "Sorry!") "Can I have a free copy?"
We love these e-mails from our readers and our trusted sources because we know that for the last 10 years, the Top 500 Guide—many call it "The bible of e-commerce—has been unrivalled as the most comprehensive and in-depth look into the marketing, merchandising, customer service and technology strategies of the leaders in online retailing.
Merchants have often shared their internal data with Internet Retailer because inclusion in the Top 500 Guide provides the quintessential bragging rights in online retailing—only the biggest and the best e-commerce companies are included. Small retailers use the Top 500 Guide to benchmark their progress, vendors view it as a valuable marketing tool and investors find potential business partners.
We want to thank our readers for their loyalty over the last 10 years and to celebrate the publication of this tenth anniversary edition with a little fun.
With that in mind, Internet Retailer will be hosting a Top 500 Guide trivia contest on Twitter starting next Monday, May 13 at 2 p.m. Eastern time. The format will be a trivia quiz based on Top 500 news, data and analysis that Internet Retailer has been posting in its Top 500 Insider stories on InternetRetailer.com since last Mon., April 29, when the 2013 Top 500 Guide was released.
There will be three prizes awarded. First price is a one-year subscription to the online database version of the Top 500 Guide. A $239 value, a Top500Guide.com subscription includes the same data available in the print version of the guide, such as 2012 online sales figures, conversion rates, company executive names and the technology vendors each retailer uses, but also allows users to slice and dice data to create custom reports. For example, subscribers can use filtering tools to compile a list of apparel retailers in California with more than $25 million in 2012 web sales, or books and music merchants based in Illinois that collect no sales tax.
Second prize is the bundled digital and print versions of the Top 500 Guide, a $135 value. And third prize is the print version of the Top 500 Guide, a $75 value.
Here's how it will work.
To participate, readers must first follow IR_Magazine on Twitter. Those that follow our news regularly will have an easier time with the questions. There will be three rounds. At 2 p.m. Eastern on May 13th, IR_Magazine will Tweet the first question. Something like, "Who is No. 1 in the Top 500 Guide? #Top500Guide #Trivia."
To move on from Round 1, participants must quickly retweet the question asked, include the proper hashtags, #Top500Guide and #trivia, and include the correct answer. The first 15 people to tweet the correct answer will move on. In the case of our sample question (the real ones will be much harder) a winning response would be: "RT@IR_Magazine Who is No. 1 in the Top 500 Guide? #Top500guide #Trivia. Amazon."
@IR_Magazine will notify the winners of the first round on Twitter, and the next round will continue the next day at the same time among those 15 qualifiers. The second round of questions will narrow the pool to 10 qualifiers and the last round of questions, to occur on Wednesday, May 15, at 2 p.m. Eastern, will determine the three winners. Those who send in correct answers will be ranked according to who tweets first. Those three users can send @IR_Magazine a direct message for instructions on how to claim their prizes.
We think this will be fun and hope our readers and Twitter followers do as well. Who knows, Internet Retailer might make this a regular thing.

Away back in the 1850s, Dr. George Barker Winship (67 inches, 160 pounds), a leading all-around strength athlete of those days, developed great upper-body strength by the following means. In the gymnasium he attended there was a fixed, inclined ladder. Hanging by both hands from one of the rungs of this ladder, and facing the upper end, Winship would launch himself upward to the top of the ladder in a series of pullups, rung by rung. When this became easy, he would do the same thing, only each time skipping a rung. Naturally this was a risky feat as the top of the ladder was approached. He then became able to skip two rungs. After several months of such training, he found that he head unknowingly gained the strength to do pullups with one arm. He then progressed by using only one hand for the hoistings, and finally became able to go up the ladder using only one arm and skipping two rungs on every pullup. Small wonder that he could easily hang suspended from the rung of a ladder by his little finger alone, or chin the bar with the same meager grip.
On September 18, 1878, at Louisville, Kentucky, A. Cutter (his bodyweight unstated) chinned 6 times in succession using his little finger only. he also performed 12 one-arm chins.
Strongman Eugen Sandow (67.7 inches, 186 pounds) could chin once with one arm using any single finger, including the thumb.
About 1900, Adrian Peter Smith, a professional strongman and instructor of New York City, at a bodyweight of 125 pounds, could chin 10 times with one middle finger.
In April, 1913, at Brockton, Massachusetts, Anton Lewis (bodyweight not stated) chinned 78 times in succession using both arms.
In May, 1914, At Beatrice, Nebraska, Francis Lewis (158 pounds) pulled up 7 times with the middle finger of his left hand and once with the little finger.
It would appear that the record for chinning using only the middle finger of one hand is, or was, held by Arthur Fleming (130 pounds), a stage partner of vaudeville strongman Samuel Olmstead. Fleming could pullup using only the middle finger of one hand 11 times.
Stanley Ballis, aged 15 (140 pounds), in Brooklyn, 1939, chinned 7 times with one arm, also once with a 135-pound boy hanging on him. He could pullup 6 times in succession by pinch-gripping two 4-inch thick rafters.
Eric Lindman (bodyweight unstated) of Minneapolis, performed 8 consecutive pullups in an upside-down position on a horizontal bar.
William D. Reed, of the University of Pennsylvania, is credited in some quarters with hold the record for two-arm chinning. On June 23, 1969, he performed 106 consecutive pullups.
All records for chinning with a pinch-grip either on two rafters of on one would appear to be held by Bruce White (67.5 inches, 148 pounds), of Duncraig, Australia, who has accomplished the following feats: 1.) on a single 1 ½ inch thick rafter, pulled up once with 51 pounds of extra weight; 2.) the same for 4 reps with bodyweight only; 3.) on two rafters, pulled up once with 112 pounds; 4.) the same, with bodyweight only, 16 times in succession; 5.) retained a pinch-grip while hanging from the same two rafters for 60 seconds.
Training for the One-Arm Chin
As to the most effective means of training to perform a one-arm pullup, there are at least two different ways of developing the necessary power. One way is to continue to chin using both arms, and to add weight in gradually increasing amounts to your bodyweight. For example, suppose you have reached the stage where you can perform, say, 15 bodyweight pullups with both arms. You should then attach a 10 or 15-pound barbell plate around your waist and reduce the number of pullups, performing several sets or series of these with brief rests between. When you have progressed to where you can do 15 reps in a single set with the added weight, a again drop back down to 8 or 10 reps with another increase in the amount of weight carried; and so on. When you reach the stage where you can perform a single pullup while carrying extra weight equal to two-thirds of your bodyweight, you should have the strength, if not the capability, to chin with one arm.
You should then work to acquire the necessary one-arm technique, in the following manner. This is to train the arm doing the pullup to progressively carry more of the bodyweight. The accompanying drawing, in which the increasingly more difficult positions for chinning are numbered 1, 2 and 3 respectively, should be self-explanatory. In all the different pullups, you should try to breast the bar rather than just chin it. After performing several such close-to-one-arm pullups with your left arm (always exercise the weaker arm first), rest a moment, then pullup with your right (or stronger) arm. Also, make a habit of lowering yourself slowly with one arm, as this will produce chinning strength almost as effectively as chinning up.
One difficulty perhaps the main difficulty connected with a one-arm chin is to have the hand of the chinning arm in the most advantageous position for starting the pullup. This is with the palm of the hand facing the body, just as in chinning with both arms. This preliminary maneuver places the body in a favorable position for being drawn up to the hand, as the necessary drawing-in of the forearm close to the chest (to the finishing position of rest) can take place only when the palm is facing the body. In doing more than a single one-arm chin at a time, the body should never be lowered to the extent of completely straightening the arm; if it is, the body will swing around out of the proper position for commencing the next pullup. Therefore, if and when you become able to repeat the one-arm chin, keep your legs straight and well up in front, and in lowering your body do not let your arm straighten past the point where you can exert full power for the next pullup.

Chicago Art in Pictures: New Capital
May 20, 2013 · Print This Article
This week, independent of one another, Chicago-based writers Caroline Picard and Jason Foumberg both raised questions related to sustainability in the art world. Within the context of Bad at Sports, Picard wondered about communal failure, ethics, and Utopia, particularly as those political concepts concerned the field of social practice. And at the alternative weekly publication Newcity, Foumberg offered a comparative overview of local, economic models in gallery practice.
Six months earlier, the proprietors of Chicago's New Capital Projects, Ben Foch and Chelsea Culp, began a twenty-five day round-the-clock closing event for their gallery. Foch and Culp had, from the outset, planned a limited, two-year run of public exhibitions at their venue. And having reached the end of their finite schedule they threw open the doors to everyone interested in one last collaborative endeavor entitled "24HRS/25DAYS." Whither came the funding for such a spectacle? In 2011, the Propeller Fund announced that Foch and Culp were recipients of a 6000 USD award.
Rather than being a survey of contemporary programming, this installment of Chicago Art in Pictures is a historical offering. If New Capital Projects' success (and it was a success) seemed contingent upon its engagement with artists, its monetary subsidization, and its relatively brief public existence, then maybe too it was the case that only an informal, ethical consensus allowed for a momentary sort of Utopia within the city's crumbling West Side.
While planning what might be possible for the future, it's helpful to remember what has worked in the past. And so, some of the activity surrounding New Capital Projects in the year 2012 is suggested by the imagery below. A full schedule for "24HRS/25DAYS" is still available at New Capital Projects' website. All artwork copyright original artists; photography copyright Paul Germanos.

In all likelihood, you are absolutely critical to the success of your business. Without you, there is no business. We want to fix that. With a little luck and a lot of hard work, we can help you become an inconsequential owner. Having said that, perhaps a bit of explanation is in order.
All owners understand (at some level anyway) that they will someday leave the businesses they have created. Let's assume for a moment that tomorrow you leave your business permanently. If you are an inconsequential owner, your exit will have no impact on the business, and that's good for business value. Buyers pay for business value, not for the departing owner.
If you constitute a significant part of your company's value (aka, a consequential owner), and you have left the scene, there will likely be few buyers interested in your company, and those who are will likely pay significantly less than they would had you been an inconsequential owner.
Exit planning is the process you can use to transform yourself into an inconsequential owner for your sake, for your family's sake and the sake of your company. While perhaps not the most flattering label, it probably aligns with what your children have been telling you for years.
Put another way, your exit plan should answer this question: "What has to happen in my business by the time I leave it, to: (1) enable me (and my family) to achieve financial security and (2) allow me to move forward with the rest of my life, secure in knowledge that I have been a good steward of the business?"
The details that constitute "what has to happen" are discussed in a large number of newsletter articles, books and White Papers that we can share with you. But for most owners, one of the first and most important things that "has to happen" after figuring out where you are (current business value) and where you want to go (your exit objectives) is to create and sustain business value.
When we talk about value in the context of Exit Planning (Step Three of The Seven Step Exit Planning Process) we divide the discussion into three areas: Building Value, Protecting Value, and Minimizing Income Taxes. Over the next few months, we'll talk in this newsletter about each of these areas in greater detail, but here's a summary of what you can expect.
Building Value.
We will explore several themes. First we ask, "What do you, as the owner, need to do to create a successful company that can operate without you?" Topics include: 1) Develop a market focus; 2) Create a top management team; and 3) Adopt a proper financial focus and corresponding policies. For more information on these topics, you might read Innovation and Entrepreneurship by Peter Drucker.
Second we ask, "What characteristics will buyers pay handsomely for?" We call these characteristics Value Drivers.
Protecting Value.
We'll talk about protecting value from both internal and external threats. Instead of handling these threats as they occur, we'll talk about the threats and how to avoid them before they happen. Topics will include: protecting propriety information and trade secrets; preventing employees from doing harm to the business when they leave (by taking customers, employees, business relationships, etc.); and anticipating and evaluating outside threats to your company.
Minimizing Income Taxes.
The lifeblood of every business, and therefore its best indicator of value, is cash flow. Our discussion includes how to preserve cash flow and value from income taxation-legally, of course. Income taxes on the sale of your business interest can range from zero to over fifty percent. Future issues of this newsletter will discuss how to avoid excessive and unexpected taxes. Of course, each tax-efficient design and the tools used to implement those designs usually have both disadvantages and advantages. To date, however, we've been unsuccessful in identifying any upside to paying more than necessary to your silent partner, Uncle Sam.

The Little Spider is made of a PVC rubber compound which adds elasticity and buoyancy to the Little Spider which will give you more life and more fish per bait. The Little Spider is an ideal spider jig after the crawdad spawn that occurs in late fall to early winter. The Keitech Little Spider will excel on highly pressured bodies of water where a finesse approach is a must.
Pair the Little Spider with a Keitech Fine Guard Jig Head, Keitech Mono Guard Jig Head or Keitech Super Football Jig Head and you have the perfect combination for a compact yet highly effective spider jig.

Comments: Maybe not as durable as the originals but they hold up fine for me. 1/4 FB & Ball head open hook & catch plenty of fish on each bait. Maybe your losing a strand or two of the skirt.
From: J. Cotier: MA 8/2/16
Comments: The little spider is not what the description says, they tear much easier now and made from a different material, definitely not like the older ones.
From: Finger Lake Fisherman: Hector, NY 3/4/15
Comments: These catch fish, for sure, but I can't get more than 1 or 2 fish per bait on this new plastic formula. Definitely not the spiders of yesteryear. These would be good for the panic box when things get tough, but to fish them regularly will certainly put a dent in your budget.
From: Rich: Piermont, NY 2/3/15
Comments: Tried this bait after reading some good feedback at other resources. So far the Little Spider worked best for me when I used 1/16 oz jighead with #6 hook. Caught the following fish species: largemouth bass, crappie, bluegill and yellow perch. In my opinion durability of the bait heavily depends on amount of small fish in the water - those can rip pieces of "collar" and tails pretty fast. I am just finishing my first pack, so the numbers may change in the future, but at the moment one bait holds for about 2 hours.
From: Alex: Lexington, MA 8/30/14
Comments: The new little spider is admittedly similar in design to the original bait but its appearance is about as far as that similarity goes. The new version is clearly much less durable easily succumbing to rips and tears and will not withstand too many fish bites before losing tail and collar parts and slipping off the jig head. Anyone who got use to fishing the original model for long periods of time and catching several fish on a single bait can forget about that attribute. The new spider was clearly designed to be much less durable and will not withstand nearly the abuse of the original one. If you purchase the new spider be ready for a serious degradation in product quality in spite of Keitech's claim that they have "improved" the product. On a positive note, they will still catch fish. Unfortunately with the rise in price, the reduction in quantity per package and the major downgrade in durability it's hard to see how Keitech's claim that they've "improved" this product can be taken seriously.
From: Kevin: Wayne, NJ 6/13/14
Comments: Extremely durable bait. I use these as a jig trailer and I am still only on my first one - even after several months of fishing.
From: Terry: MA
Comments:I have been looking for a more durable version of Cabin Creek's Salty Spider and so far I think I have found it. The small sizes provide tremendous versatility even good for dropshoting. The colors are muted and provide a more subtle presentation than other soft baits. If you dead stick it the skirt picks up energy from the water and looks just like crawfish legs when they walk, this can be deadly on smallmouth. Also works well hopping across the bottom and swimming slowly. My favorite technique so far is paired to a stand-up 1/8th jig. Works well for any gamefish big enough to bite including largemouth, crappie, bluegills, and especially smallmouth. So far Overall an excellent bait in all three sizes and the natural colors.

Hotel Mimosa
A 14-room palazzo decorated in sunflower yellows and terra-cotta reds that doesn't skimp on comforts.
Hotel Mimosa
via di Santa Chiara 61
Piazza Navona, Rome, Italy
- Hotel Mimosa website
About this Hotel
Price From $66
'Hood Tucked between the Pantheon and Piazza Navona in the Centro Storico, an area where over-priced tourist joints and authentic trattorie and gelaterie meet.
First Impression A hotel at this price in this unbeatable location might set off alarm bells. Instead, there's a sense of relief on finding a centuries-old Roman palazzo whose unassuming second-floor lobby has fresh flowers.
Rooms The 14 rooms vary by occupancy (single to quad), size, and ambience. Standard doubles with private baths are the most inspired—decorated in sunflower yellows and terra-cotta reds, with antiques and Persian rugs.
Plus Unlike many budget hotels in Rome, the Mimosa doesn't skimp on comforts like fluffy towels and extra pillows, and it accommodates everyone from solo travelers to families. Single rooms tend to have more breathing space than doubles, and the staff can help reconfigure beds or remove furniture to make space for kids.
Minus Five rooms lack private bathrooms, and the shared bathrooms can feel neglected because they're only cleaned once a day, on the same rotation as the maid service in the rooms.
Free Wi-Fi? No.
Credit Cards Accepted Rooms must be paid in cash, although reservations are made online with credit cards—either MC or Visa.
Details Double without bath from $66 (€50), double with bath from $92 (€70), including breakfast.

Z Man Flappin Crawz 6pk
Incredibly lifelike, the Z-Man Flappin Crawz feature Z-man's proprietary Elaztech composition, which is naturally buoyant. This allows the bait to float up off the bottom as soon as it comes to rest and realistically mimicking a crawfish's natural defensive position. A great choice as a jig trailer or flip bait, the Flappin Crawz are versatile, heavy cover baits that also produce an enticing action and vibration. Z-man's proprietary Elaztech material is also 10x tougher than other soft plastics to resist nicks, cuts and tears better than any other baits on the market. Available in a variety of colors, the Z-Man Flappin Crawz are some the best craw baits money can buy.
For on the Water Pro Tipz for fishing the Z-Man Flappin Crawz from Bassmaster Elite Series pro, Luke Clausen - click on the Product Video icon below the main image.
Do not mix Elaztech baits with standard plastic baits.

Comments: I was excited to get these. When I got them out of the package every one of the baits were torn. I will probably not buy anymore until this is fixed.
From: John: Tennessee 1/31/17
Comments: Durability is awesome, and the claws stand up in the defensive posture. As a jig trailer, the action is muted. Same complaint as others, many pack arrive with claws completely detached, and/or torn. Quality control is sub-par. Though, I haven't had this issue with the Turbo Crawz or the Punch Crawz.
From: Paul: Pawtucket, RI 7/31/15
Comments: I have a bunch of z-man products and never had a problem with them until I bought these flappin crawz. Like everyone else has said, the claws are the weak link. In the six pack I received, three of the baits had the claws torn off. Two were mostly torn off and one was decent. Pretty good action, but expensive for only one useable lure. I will not buy these again until z-man fixes this.
From: Matt: CA 3/8/15
Comments: I love the action of this bait, when texas rigged the bait will stand straight up and the claws will move just with a shake of the line. The durabiltiy is good if you can get a bait out of the package that is not already missing a claw. Just like the other reviews the plastic that connects the pincher to the body is the weak point. I hope they fix this problem because they are some really good baits.
From: Dan: LA 5/10/14
Comments: Like Z-Man products. Great durability but like some of the other reviews, when you get a pack of these and 2 of them are missing claws cause they tore at the body, kinda sucks. Lucky the other 4 will last longer then most plastics. Think they need to re-due the design at the attachment point on the body or Z-Man needs to come out with their own line of product for their baits since Mend-It doesn't work on these either. Still use these but the punch craws last way longer and gonna try the new bait they just released.
From: William: Long Beach CA
Comments: First off , I love the durability of z man baits . They are the only soft plastics I fish since they expanded their line. The flappin craw was my favorite ,but the poor design kills me. Right where the claw meets body is really weak
From: Dave: Columbia MD
Comments: Wildly inconsistent where the arm meets the body, too thin and some have air bubbles making them really weak .Dont get me wrong I love the design ,but I have a hard time making one last the whole day. I can fish the punch craw for several days literally .
Comments: Great baits. Has the action of an paca craw and can handle tons of fish. I bought 6 packs!
From: Shane: IA
Comments: I've been very impressed with these new baits. They are very versatile and also very durable. I love the Paca and Rage Craws, but I hate losing a claw after 1 or 2 fish. I have yet to lose a claw on these Flappin Crawz, and they have very good action. They are also very buoyant, which can be an advantage to slow down the fall on a jig, and also the claws float up in a bass' face. The bodies are solid, and can be rigged on a Texas rig, shaky head, or trimmed any length for a jig trailer, which is my favorite way to rig them.
From: Casey: Topeka, KS
Comments: These baits need to be redesigned the claws tear off way way too easy. I love z man baits I can fish one bait for several days or ten to twenty fish

There was a fire in the Chick's Rock'n Roost bar in Castle Dale in the early morning hours of April 12 at 3:50 a.m. A Castle Dale resident called in the fire to the sheriff's office from a home across the highway from Chicks.
Fire departments from Castle Dale, Orangeville, Ferron and Huntington responded to the blaze which was contained in a short time.
The building front was constructed of barn wood over a sheet metal frame. There was also a wooden porch with large planks that was destroyed in the fire.
The entire front of the building will have to be replaced. There was much damage inside the building with the bar itself sustaining fire damage. Part of the ceiling was destroyed, but the roof remained in tact.
Several furnishings within the bar were a loss including the new bar stools, mirrors and sevitems throughout the building.Several televisions and a juke box were also listed among the losses.
The deputy state fire marshal, Troy Mills from Springville was on the scene that morning to determine the cause of fire. He said he could not clearly determine the cause of the fire, but it will be listed as accidental.
Observers on the scene speculated the fire was probably electrical in nature as it burned more severely the area where a lighted Budweiser sign hung in the window. Although this sign is unplugged each night, so an exact starting point of the fire can't be substantiated.
The building will be boarded up and secured for now. It is unknown whether the owner, Charlie Oman, who is in failing health, will rebuild the business or not.
The bar has been in its present location for 16 years now. The previous location was known as Kelly's and was downtown in Castle Dale.
The bar employed six people who are now without a job, five full-time and one part-time employee. The part-time maintenance employee said the last thing they do each night is empty all the ashtrays into a metal bucket for safety purposes. He is willing to get started mucking the building out and salvaging what wasn't lost in the fire; just as soon as Charlie gives the word.

If it's from a printer, it may be a stepper motor......
Do you think it will be accurate?

Smaller Devices Through Radio Integration
Wireless connectivity is a prerequisite in most user devices today, from laptops, to phones, tablets, e-readers, etc. Usually radios reside on a separate die from the application processor, resulting in bulkier devices. Integration of the radio and application processor would enable smaller form factors for slimmer devices (maybe even miniature wearable devices), and can also reduce the cost of the overall solution. The low cost of such integrated processor+radio platform can further enable a host of new applications towards the vision of the "internet of things" where devices such as home appliances, sensors, etc communicate with each other, exchange information and can be actuated remotely.
