There's no telling exactly what the folks from the United States Geological Survey (USGS) are going to reveal to Riverside residents on Thursday night over at P.J. Klem's. The group was tasked with the independent verification of data regarding the hydrology of the Des Plaines River.
The request was prompted by the discovery of data that appeared to contradict earlier predictions about water levels on the river once the Hofmann Dam is removed. It was a discovery that in a way put the village back at square one. The big question has always been, "How will the river respond to the dam's removal?"
On Thursday, we're going to get the USGS' best guess. It's doubtful that that analysis, whatever it may be, is going to calm critics of the dam removal who haven't believed in the Army Corps' ability to engineer its way out of a paper bag since the get-go.
In the end, however, it's not the critics or even the village that the USGS has to convince because it doesn't appear the Army Corps really needs the village's cooperation to resume the removal work.
The only thing getting in the way of the project is some sort of dire prediction by the USGS about future water levels. That seems doubtful.
All of the preliminary groundwork has been laid. The only thing that extracting easements from the Army Corps and Illinois Department of Natural Resources is going to accomplish at this point is stop them from ensuring that the Riverside riverbank is restored and Swan Pond Park regraded.
The dam removal operation will come from the other side of the river, which is a federal waterway. The village has no standing to prevent the removal from happening.
There are some in the village who also believe that the Swan Pond Park plan is a mistake because of the number of trees slated for removal.
This is where we disagree strongly. No one wants to lose mature trees, but Swan Pond Park is a drainage nightmare. The park must be regraded to allow flood water to escape the park as quickly and naturally as possible.
Calls for lift stations and ejector pumps simply add to the cost and the complications afterward. Such devices need maintenance and replacement over time. The whole point here is to make the park drain as quickly, naturally and inexpensively as possible. It's a flood plain. It's going to flood.
As for trees, they are a renewable resource. New trees can be planted and they will grow. Maybe the present generation won't be able to enjoy the trees in their maturity, but future generations surely will.
This isn't about now. This is about the future and about correcting a longstanding problem. Giving in to hysteria isn't the way to go.
Thursday should not be the day Riverside walks away from the Hofmann Dam removal project - it's going to happen anyway. It should be the day the village recommits itself to making sure the project results in the best possible outcome for Riverside.

This is wonderfully worth reading, every last word.
You feel it, I feel it, everyone who has seen five minutes of BBC's "Sherlock" feels it. There is something a bit… odd about Mr. Benedict Cumberbatch. Ladies adore him, gents like him too. He's talented and intelligent and it's generally agreed that he occasionally says things that are charmingly awkward yet ill-advised; for instance: asking Sir Patrick Stewart if taking a role in the "Star Trek" reboot would damage his career.
But dagnabbit… what is the thing with his face?
The gamut of intense reactions to Cumberbatch's preternatural mug reveals our unconscious psychological bias toward certain facial patterns. Like a computer missing a chunk of software or the rioters at Stravinsky's "Rite of Spring," we simply have no idea what to make of something so familiar yet… so odd. People become fixated on Benedict Cumberbatch's face and can't seem to talk about anything else. Some ladies clutch their pearls and declare him an ovary-annihilating "life ruiner," while less enthusiastic observers (usually accompanied by a string of disrespectful jabs at his name) see him as some kind of freakish extraterrestrial. Ocassionally, detractors act as if they are uncontrollably repulsed by some aura of Das Unheimliche that apparently floats, miasma-like, around his head. For an actor with a rapidly exploding body of work and the potential to break out as a huge international star, that's a pretty bizarre public response. The way some people go on, you'd think there was something fundamentally backwards about him.
Here's the thing. There just might be.
That's just damned fascinating.
why can't we have both.gif

Dear Hojo:
Baby, thinking about the bulk of your tert-butoxide in my olefin has me diene. C'mon, dealkylate my little toulene until it's aromatic—I want to feel your lone pair bumping against my conjugation. Mm, I could just pull out your ketone and tautomerize it enol night long.
Tell me my electronegativity gives you a dipole moment. Flip my halide and substitute me with a back side attack. Your hydrolysis will open my cyclic ester every time until you leave me quivering in a mess of carboxylic acid
I'm hybridized for your orbitals: give me your pi bond and I'll show you all my resonance structures.
Everything is beautiful and nothing hurts.

you just don't turn it off.
everyone is so gay about the name, but it's a super healthy breakfast. oatmeal, chia seeds (loaded with protein, omega 3s, calcium, and more), almond milk, greek yogurt, a touch of maple syrup, stevia, and fresh fruit. it only has like 250 calories, it is loaded with nutrients, and it keeps you full, doesn't make you fart, and it's delish. people want to rag on delish and nutrish, then so be it.
you just don't turn it off.
ps: ever eat oatmeal before work or school? you'll be farting all fucking day an you'll have to take a monster dump by 11:30 am. the greek yogurt that i put in the porridge has enzymes that make the oatmeal easier on your digestive tract so you don't make fart.
you just don't turn it off.
make a to do list sunday night so you aren't thinking about next week
just writing it down keeps you from obsessing over it
I have a six hour meeting scheduled for tomorrow.
6 motherfuckin hours
niggas looooove havin meetins. real work is like kyroptonite to upper mgmt
Photography's a joke. Anyone can be a photographer. You do your scary great pictures because you're a professional. I'll take my stupid...automatic camera...take pictures and we'll see if people can tell the difference. - HS, 2-1-02
I'm gonna try the porridge. I'm even gonna get those glass jars.
Do the chia seeds get stuck in your teeth like poppy seeds?
dunkis I spent all weekend moving stuff can you just come over and set up my fridge for the week??
no problemo!
these are most easily made in 1/2 pint mason jars (screw the lid on and shake...easy peasy):
in 1/2 pint mason jar (or whatever container you're using), add:
1/4 cup old fashioned oats (uncooked. NOT instant and NOT steel cut. just plain old old fashioned oats);
2 to 3 tsp chia seeds
1 tsp/1 packet stevia
1 tbsp maple syrup
1/3 cup lowfat milk or almond/soy milk
1/4 plain greek yogurt
fill remainder with fresh fruit of your choice (i use blueberries)
screw on lid and shake vigorously (or stir vigorously without lid) until everything is well mixed.
put in fridge and let sit overnight.
eat in the morning.
you just don't turn it off.
fyi: put in the ingredients in that exact order.
you just don't turn it off.

Rare quality for luxury Shuffle: good taste
It may come as a shock, but not all customized iPods need to look like something only Paris Hilton would buy. As shown by the recently featured 18k gold Shuffle, for example, beauty and luxury can indeed coexist.
In fact, a new model by U.K. jewelry designer John Harrington has shockingly found a way to use both gold and diamonds without being garish. His "Diamond Shuffle" uses only five high-quality stones in its laser-etched design, according to BornRich, featuring his signature "Renaissance" motif.
At a little over $600 it's hardly a bargain-basement item, but … Read more

Whey Protein - Strawberry Flavour
Great taste, easy to mix with a lovely smooth texture
With real freeze dried strawberries this product tastes great. And our taste trials put this product out in front of seven other strawberry wheys. The reason it tastes great is that we use only the finest quality whey proteins, and the product is manufactured in the UK for Nature's Best by one of the world's leading manufacturers of sports products. It also contains added whey protein isolates to further increase the amount of protein and its quality.
Dont be taken in by expensive brands of whey protein. They offer no better protein than this product contains. But beware of really cheap whey its cheap for a reason, and the taste can give a clue. Slimy texture, excessively sweet and brightly coloured are all clues that its low grade whey for animal feed dressed up as a sports supplement for humans.
Whey is recognised as an easy to digest, high quality source of protein providing an excellent mix of amino acids, including high levels of the three branch chain amino acids (BCAA's). Amino acids are the essential components needed by the body to build and repair muscles.

Good Flavour
By Gabrielle Redford - 30th October 2012
I use this to ensure I get enough protein as I am trying to lose weight. Being a vegetarian I worry that I won't get enough protein otherwise.
I add this to yoghurt as a desert - or use to flavour oatmeal.So far so good. Its easily digested and very pleasant
Can't really say whether it has 'helped' me as I am not body building, but it is filling as used and comparatively low in calories

Basically I decided to take up going to the gym and have heard that protein is a good way to build up muscle and therefore I purchased the item from natures best.

Why do you use this product Whey Protein (Strawberry Flavour) ?
My husband uses this to build lean muscle and has found it also speeds up muscle tear repair significantly. He says it tastes like a decent strawberry milkshake and it has helped him put on 6kg of lean muscle. Great product at a great price and delivery to Cyprus where we live is reasonable too making it our number one choice.

A Superb, Superior Product
By David Leck - 25th February 2012
I usually find whey proteins gloopy, heavy and disgustingly sweet and gave up taking them a couple of years ago for that reason. You can also see from many guys who use them excessively where that amount of sugar sits - straight on the gut!
Nature's Best is, by far, the best I've tried. Their proteins have a smooth, light taste with none of that cloying sweetness. The strawberry mixed with vanillla is a great combo and even better when blended (a blender does give the best result) with a banana.
An excellent product. Highly recommended.

Staff-recommended viewing from the KPL catalog.
Gregory Nava's masterpiece El Norte, often cited as an updated and re-imagined "Grapes of Wrath", is one of the most hailed and accomplished films of the 1980's, yet has largely gone unnoticed by the film-viewing public since it was first produced in 1983. Now, a distinguished addition to the must-see Criterion Collection, I hope that this groundbreaking film will find its way into the hands of more viewers and be recognized for its rich and powerful depiction of two young Guatemalan teenagers journeying northward to escape injustice while encountering both personal triumph and heart wrenching tragedy along the way.
Over the weekend I watched Slumdog Millionaire, English director Danny Boyle's movie about a poor boy in Mumbai who wins millions on a game show but who is accused of cheating. The movie was the darling of 2009, garnering a boatload of awards, including nine Oscars, five Critics' Choice, four Golden Globes and seven awards from the British Academy Film Awards. I liked Slumdog Millionaire. It isn't Danny Boyle's best work, but it may be his most ambitious. Nor is it the best movie for demonstrating child poverty in Mumbai. A better one is the heart-rending work from 1988 Salaam Bombay.
Danny Boyle creates atmosphere well. Slumdog's gritty scenes of poverty and desperation reminded of his earlier and perhaps best film, Trainspotting, which follows the gritty, heroin-laced lives of five disaffected boys in Edinburgh.
I also couldn't help but be reminded of Charles Dickens. I've been enjoying Masterpiece Theatre presentations of Dickens' works over these last few months — David Copperfield, Oliver Twist, Little Dorrit, and The Old Curiosity Shop. Slumdog Millionaire is a story that Dickens could have written. The brother Salim in Slumdog Millionaire is a chip off the Artful Dodger in Oliver Twist. Both lead gangs of child criminals, both answer to dangerous men who manipulate and motivate the boys through their desire for material possessions.
Charles Dickens' books offered strong commentary on social class and cast light on the awful state of child poverty. His books ultimately caused the enactment of child labor laws. While Slumdog Millionaire is a story that Dickens might have enjoyed, I also think it is one that would have made him sad and frustrated to see the plight of children in today's world.
Filmmaker and mother, Lori Benson, received a diagnosis of breast cancer and – on a suggestion from her filmmaker husband, Jonathon – decided to have friends film her experience. In Dear Talula, we, the viewers, get to see Benson's struggles, decision-making, treatment, beautiful relationships with friends, family and one-year-old daughter, Talula. I urge you to take the time – just 34 minutes – to experience this inspiring documentary.
Ms. Benson also travels the country to speak at film screenings. It would be wonderful to see her in Kalamazoo someday.
If you have yet to discover our collection of movies that have been shown by the Kalamazoo Film Society you should go and check out the list. Recently I watched The Band's Visit, a short film about an Egyptian Police Band who travels to Israel to play at an Arab Cultural Center opening. The language barrier results in the band taking the wrong bus and they end up in a remote Israeli village with no hotel and no hope of a return bus ride until the next day. What results is an interesting and hilarious night when the tensions between Egyptian and Israeli slip away in favor of semi-romantic dates, roller skating and birthday parties. Both parties not only learn something about the other's country, but also themselves. It was not hard to believe that this film has won over 35 international film awards because it is a lesson in cross-cultural differences.
Today marks the 40th anniversary of the publication of The Very Hungry Caterpillar, Eric Carle's timeless children's book about a caterpillar's daily culinary journey through foods both nutritious and snacky. While subtly being taught the days of the week, counting, and metamorphosis may not be foremost among the memories readers take away from the story, Carle's signature (now iconic) style of illustration ensures that the butterfly-in-waiting that is the story's center figure is as recognizable among children of any age as any talking bear, frog, or sponge.
Such a famous story will certainly have its own animated version out on DVD – whether or not the animated telling remains faithful to the book. Thankfully, Scholastic's animated version of The Very Hungry Caterpillar is a faithful and appropriate adaptation of the story. Using Carle's original illustrations, the animation is limited and evenly paced, never jarring the senses. The story is narrated word for word, nothing added and nothing taken away. The male narrator's voice is soothing but not sleep-inducing, and while it's no substitute for the voice of a loved one reading the story aloud, it has its charm. (Subtitles are available for those who want to read along as the story unfolds.) The film is as short as the book – it's over in less than 10 minutes – but for those who want more, adaptations of Carle's Papa, Please Get the Moon for Me, The Very Quiet Cricket, The Mixed-Up Chameleon, and I See a Song are included on the same disc.
Carle's print version of the story, in its many forms (most fun – an oversized board book with a toy caterpillar that can be moved in and out of the holes of the eaten fruits), is the finest way to enjoy the tale. Still, it's nice to have an animated version of this classic available, as a calm alternative to the more boisterous cartoon fare which may not suit all ages or moods. In any form, Carle's vivid colors are sure to amaze those who encounter them as much forty years on, as in forty years past.
The votes have been counted, the judges and public have had their say, and we have the winners of the 6th annual Teen Filmmaker Festival! We had a wide range of films entered in the festival this year, and the winning films are a strong indication of the level of quality of the films that were sent in. Take a look on our YouTube page and see for yourself! For more info about the film fest, as well as a complete list of the screened films and winners, check out the Film Fest page in the Teen section.
The very recognizable but certainly underappreciated Richard Jenkins stars in this quiet independent film about the power of human connection. Jenkins plays widowed economics professor Walter Vale whose life has lost all resemblance of happiness or sparkle until a random encounter with two complete strangers gives him the connection to humanity that he desperately needed to jumpstart his life. The visitor, that the title refers to, turn out to be two undocumented aliens (Tarek who is Syrian and Zainab from Senegal) living illegally yet productively and peacefully in New York City. An unwarranted and random stop by the authorities sends this touching and well paced film off in an entirely new direction from where it started, but the strength of the characters and the strong performances of the cast act as ballast that keeps this very well constructed film moving along to a conclusion that stays with the viewer long after the credits role.

9 Recipes for Corn, Leeks and Squash
Nurtured all summer long and tended to perfection, piles of red and yellow tomatoes in every shape and size await your inspection. Neat stacks of white and golden corn nestled in silk … hard-shelled squashes and pumpkins … fragrant herbs, dirt-dusted potatoes, luscious melons … Don't hold back — indulge freely in the gifts of early autumn.
Eating locally is never easier than right now, so get to know these fresh, sun-ripened ingredients. Dig out your favorite veggie recipes, but try some new ones, too — such as these nine fun and easy ways to put the season's harvest on your table.
For suggestions, we turned to a few friends: television chef, author, and avid gardener Mary Ann Esposito; cookbook author and food writer Clara Silverstein, offering a selection from her latest recipe collection; and longtime editor Judith Jones (who saved Julia Child's first cookbook from an early demise and helped launch The French Chef's long career).
If you live in farm country, produce stands are hard to miss, but even city dwellers can take advantage of a ripe and ready bumper crop thanks to farmers' markets. Or if grocery stores and supermarkets are more your style, ask your produce manager to carry local crops — they'll be fresher and tastier, and you'll be supporting your community's economy.

1. | Harold Camping | ||
Harold Camping, 89 years old man, who predicted that the world will end on May 21st, 2011 (Rapture 2011). He predicted that the world will come to an end before, in 1994, but had said it was a miscalculation and that it would be on May 21st, 2011 instead. On May 21st, when the world did not ended, Harold was nowhere to be seen. Rumors has it is that he is hiding from his followers. Especially Camping's followers will be demanding an explanation as they had put all their faith in Camping's prediction, quitting jobs, selling their possessions and donating all their money to support the Doomsday campaign. Harold Camping: The world is going to be in a chaos that it will make Japan's earthquake look like Sunday school picnic. IT IS RAPTURE 2011!
2. | harold camping | ||
a viscious turd burgler who failed TWICE at predicting the end of the world. This hairy nut sack made up some cracked out math problem to determine doomsday, which was obviously wrong. He made millions off raping the minds of weak individuals. He spent all day May 21, 2011 listening to Britney Spears new single probably camped out masturbating. What a radical douche bag. "Harold Camping, get your meat rocket away from my daughter!"
"Who was that cunt who said the world was supposed to end? Oh, thats just Harold Camping." Harold Camping, you are old as tits. |
3. | Harold Camping | ||
An old bastard who, after falsely predicting the rapture and subsequent end of the world twice in 1994 and May 21, 2011, has boldly made another prediction for October 21, 2011. He screwed over many people (although if you're dumb enough to believe it...you kind of deserve it.) He made millions off of this scam from his followers, some donating all of their life savings and retirement to his "non-profit organization." Harold Camping is, for lack of a better term, a douche bag.
4. | Harold Camping | ||
A grumpy old man who has a talk show on the radio. He has predicted the Rapture--Judgement Day--at least 3 times, most recently on May 21st, and each time has been quite a let-down. His most recent reason was "because of the gays". His "rapture" predictions are often preceded by a large-scale campaign to advertise the date with posters that say things such as "Save the Date! Judgement Day, May 21st: The Bible Guarantees It!" Reasonable Christians often ask in response to these predictions, "if God's word is not to be interpreted by humans, then aren't all these predictions rather blasphemic?" Reasonable people who may or may not be Christian often ask "why would anyone even believe this in the first place? He just picked an arbitrary date, there's no scientific proof at all. I see no reason to freak out." Some people freak out anyway, because they're either idiots or they're hipsters and they're doing it ironically. Guy 1: Dude are you coming to my barbecue tomorrow?
Guy 2: Why are you having a barbecue? Guy 1: To celebrate Harold Camping's most recent failure to predict the end of the world. Guy 2: Oh yeah sure, i'll come. Will there be beer? Guy 1: Of course man, otherwise it wouldn't be a not-the-end-of-the-world barbecue. |
5. | Harold Camping | ||
One of a long line of chicken-little wannabes. Greatest claim to fame was conning thousands of Christians into re-painting their mini-vans and holding placards declaring May 21 2011 to be the end of the world (biblical rapture). Camping's other claim to fame was the same stunt, back in 1994, which goes to prove that the average American has a memory like your average goldfish. So, are you serious, or are you just Harold Camping about it?
6. | harold camping | ||
an old piece of shit that has a lot of money because he convinced people that he knows when the world is going to end. he has been wrong on all predictions, and there are more to come in the future. Hey, i wonder when Harold Camping is going to give up on predicting the end of the world. Fourth times a charm?
7. | Harold Camping | ||
A pastor who predicted that the world was going to end on May 21st, 2011. He was wrong. Hey guys, Harold Camping here. On May 21st, all of us Christians are gonna go to Heaven. You ready guys? Oh, crap. Nevermind...

Skin Cancer, Melanoma
Exams and Tests
To check for melanoma and whether or not it has spread, your doctor may:
- Do a Reference physical exam of your skin.
- Do a Reference skin biopsy. Your doctor will take a sample of your skin and have it tested for melanoma.
- Check your lymph nodes to see if they are larger than normal. This may be followed by a Reference sentinel lymph node biopsy to see if the melanoma has spread to your Reference lymph system Opens New Window.
- Use imaging tests to see if the cancer has spread to other parts of your body, such as the lungs, brain, or liver. These tests include emission tomography (Reference PET scan Opens New Window), Reference computed tomography (CT scan), and Reference magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
Other techniques may include total-body photography to look for changes in any mole and to watch for new moles appearing in normal skin. A series of photos of the suspicious lesions may be taken. Then the photos can be used as a baseline to compare with follow-up photos.
Finding skin cancer early
- Do a Reference skin self-exam Opens New Window Reference Opens New Window once a month. Your partner or a close friend can help you check places that are hard to see, such as your scalp and back.
- Have your doctor check
any suspicious skin changes. Be sure you see your doctor at least once a year. You may need checkups more often if you have:
- Reference Familial atypical mole and melanoma (FAM-M) syndrome Opens New Window, which is an inherited tendency to develop melanoma. Your doctor may need to check you every 4 to 6 months.
- Increased exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation because of your job, hobbies, or outdoor activities.
- Abnormal moles called Reference atypical moles. These moles aren't cancerous. But their presence is a warning of an inherited tendency to develop melanoma.

Susan Baldwin goes to the limit to find answers for her clients. An out-of-the-box thinker, she does not always take the most common approach. One time, she went directly to the title company's attorney for needed answers on behalf of her seller, which "smoothed the deal." She is decisive, forthcoming, and forceful - with a friendliness that gives you confidence.
This kind of follow-through and problem-solving is typical of Susan. Her naturally calming nature belies her "I'm going to get the deal done" mentality, which she brings to all of her clients and their transactions.
This attitude, along with being detail oriented and numbers savvy, has garnered her great success as well as the title of senior vice president at Briggs Freeman, where she has been an associate for the past seven years. From the beginning there, she has partnered with Ginger Nobles, also a senior vice president and a real estate veteran for over 30 years. Their combined talents and experiences make them consistent top producers for the company.
A graduate of the University of Texas at Austin with a degree in accounting, Susan brings to real estate her financial acumen and the experience working for a prestigious accounting firm. Later graduating from SMU Law School, she practiced law in Dallas for over 10 years.
Susan then moved with her husband and family to Darien, Connecticut, and returned four years later to Dallas. This gave her invaluable knowledge about the vicissitudes of corporate relocation - and about how to smooth the process for her own corporate clients. She and her husband have also renovated and sold several homes, additional experience that she uses in helping clients do the same.
Having lived in Dallas for over 20 years, Susan specializes along with Ginger in the Park Cities, Bluffview, Preston Hollow and north Dallas areas, as well as Southlake. Their partnership has generated sales in all price ranges, from $200,000 to the highest published sale to date in the metroplex, listed at $22,500,000 in 2007.
Susan is committed to community service and is active in Park Cities schools, the Junior League of Dallas, her church, and also in book, garden and investment clubs. She is married to Jim Baldwin, an attorney, and they live in the Park Cities with their two teenage children.

Counterfeiting: The Ripple EffectBarbara Jorgensen's story last week about counterfeit components and the NIMBY effect got me thinking about something I heard recently on the same topic: A small counterfeit operation, left unchecked, can wreak havoc on the supply chain for a long time. Remember the scandal about VisionTech Components a few years back? Yes, the Florida company that ran a $16 million counterfeiting racket and sold phony semiconductor chips to more than 1,100 customers. The Feds got involved, dots were connected to another infamous California counterfeiting operator and Chinese businesses, people were indicted, guilty charges were handed down, people went to jail, and VisionTech owner, Shannon Wren, died pending trial. It has all the makings of a Hollywood blockbuster as is, but the story gets even more epic. While I was reporting on the "Top 25 Global Distributors" feature, which will be published May 7 in EBN and in our sister publication, EE TImes, a few people mentioned the ongoing drama with this particular case. Mark Snider, president of ERAI Inc., told me some of the parts VisionTech hustled through the supply chain are still showing up in ERAI's sophisticated counterfeit-tracking database. Meaning, years after being shut down, many of the bad chips VisionTech sold to a number of companies are still out there and probably not totally accounted for. With that story fresh in my head, I wasn't too surprised to see a related report from information and analytics provider IHS and its Haystack Gold service. Basically, the researcher says that the stringent new counterfeit-part regulations found in the 2012 US National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) could have "broad international implications, impacting hundreds of overseas companies that have supplied billions of dollars worth of items to the American government." Here's what it looks like if we run the numbers. IHS estimates that 362 non-US companies that supply the US government could be directly affected by the new regulations, and many more could be indirectly affected. Non-US-based suppliers accounted for more than $2 billion worth of the American government's procurement budget during the five-year period from 2007 to 2011, with European Union and Middle Eastern companies accounting for the bulk of that. Additionally, supply chain participants in 2011 reported 1,363 separate verified counterfeit-part incidents worldwide, a fourfold increase from 324 in 2009, the firm noted. From the IHS press release:
All of this is to say that counterfeiting will remain a global supply chain issue for the foreseeable future, and all segments of the supply chain will have to take responsibility for the parts going into machines and devices, whether that's under legal scrutiny or as a result of corporate ethics. Warranted or not, brokers usually are the ones blamed for these bad trades and sinister deals. We all know that's just the superficial finger-pointing issue, and the sale and distribution of counterfeit parts runs much deeper and touches many suspecting and unsuspecting members of the electronics supply chain. To their credit, and as a way to break the cycle of lumping all non-franchised parts-movers into the same mud-slinging category, many well known independent distributors have taken significant steps to assure quality of their parts and build strong relationships with purchasers. I've written more about these initiatives in the upcoming distributor feature, so I won't mention them here right now. Similarly, several industry organizations and standards bodies are looking into this area, with fingers crossed that they can curb counterfeit shipments and siphon off credible sourcing partners from malicious ones. In the next couple of weeks, I'll be taking a closer look at new standards being developed by Independent Distributors of Electronics Association (IDEA) and SAE International that address exactly this issue. In the meantime, what kind of counterfeiting stories have you heard? I'm sure they're juicy whoppers. |
More Blogs from Logical Link
A new report shows that most of the worrisome issues that the supply chain industry has been dealing with for years are not new, but there are some new concerns that need answers. Heres a look at what keeps supply chain professionals up at night.
When it comes to shipping supplies from China to Europe, trains might be the most cost-effective way companies have available to them. DHL is looking to jump on that bandwagon.
For many dealing with the enormous task of tracking,
reporting, and resolving issues associated with
potential counterfeit parts, there is a collective
hope that 2013 will bring clearer guidance on what
needs to be done by whom and when.
It's debatable whether visibility should be a stand-alone system or something more comprehensive than a single software platform.
A necessary foundation for moving efficiently at real-time speed, supply chain analytics is still very much at the beginning stages of development at many companies.

text: Let's free native American's from BIA enslavement. It's been nearly 200 years for the process of assimilation that was to take a generation or two, and the longer we wait to abolish this aberration of the longest standing US government bureaucracy, the more deeply entrenched we become in continuing the insanity. Nobody sees the native Americans. They are a forgotten race, nobody cares, they are still considered livestock by the federal government, who recently admitted to bilking their trust for $5 Billion in two settlements with dozens more pending. Dismantle the BIA and hand over the trust responsibilities to an Indian consortium. Stop feeding the casinos that further the ethnic cleansing agenda of the BIA internment program known as Indian Reservations. Doesn't matter if Indians want to be freed from the federal teat or not, they are not free people, and cannot be until given fee simple title to their lands, and they are allowed to take over the vast BIA trust.
