Absolutely perfect
I have this case in black and it fits my iPhone 4S perfectly. Everything lines up flawlessly with the buttons, etc.
There are a lot of cases on the market that do not fit the iPhone 4S very well, but this case is the RARE exception to that ... it fits the 4S like a tailor-made glove!
And you still get a great tactile feel and "click" when you use the on/off button at the top of your phone and when you use the volume buttons.
The case is slim, yet very protective. I've already dropped my phone on hardwood flooring and both the case and the phone escaped without any damage whatsoever.
I have a JBL speaker dock and the Apple universal iDevice dock and my iPhone docks perfectly on both docks with the case still on the phone.
A nice bonus is that the case is easy to remove and put back on.
This case is highly recommended. It's simply the best. Do not hesitate to buy. …- Written by Randall P from Lewisville

Speck PixelSkin HD is The Perfect Companion for an iPhone
I got this case as a result of the infamous attenuation problem when the iPhone 4 was released. Luckily, it was on the list of cas es that iPhone provided for the early adopters. It may be the best Apple accessory I've ever owned. The fit is perfect, it's strong and durable, and it doesn't stretch our of shape. When I purchase a case for the new iPhone 5, I won't be wasting my money on an otterbox like the teenage girls; I'll be buying another Speck PixelSkin HD. …

Sturdy, not bulky
Pretty great case. I'm a dropper, you see. I wanted a case that could withstand a reasonable fall but wasn't so thick that it di dn't fit in my pocket. This strikes the right balance. Aesthetically, it doesn't make any kind of statement but its subtle and looks fine. Overall, I'd buy it again. …

Does not hold up
This is a nice thin case which does a good job of protecting the phone, while it's intact. However the plastic bridge below the h ome button on the front of the iPhone, which is thin and fragile, easily fractures. Once it does, the rubber facing on the front of the phone starts to pull away. This happened to me after six months of use. I replaced it with something more substantial. …

The T
Cambridge man doesn't appear to have much luck sneaking onto the T
By adamg - 1/10/13 - 12:53 pmMBTA Transit Police report officers on patrol at the Central Square Red Line stop yesterday morning spotted a couple making their way onto the platform without paying. Police report this was the third time the male half, Christopher Reed, 26, of Cambridge, has been caught fare evading. He did, however, get a free ride - in the back of a cruiser to T police headquarters - because, police say, he was also wanted on a Cambridge drug charge. The woman? With no outstanding criminal charges, she was captured and released.
Innocent, etc.
Hero Samaritan rescues drunk from Red Line tracks at Downtown Crossing
By adamg - 1/9/13 - 10:26 pmRosina Lucibello reports she was waiting for an Alewife train on the Red Line around 7:15 p.m. tonight when an apparent drunk fell onto the tracks on the other side:
Watched a drunk guy fall. Then immediately another commuter jumped in and got him. Simple as that. He never hesitated. We were speechless. The guy went down on tracks. Grabbed him and helped him up. Then pulled himself back up. Very heroic and quick! We got nervous because they announced train approaching. Tense moment.
Outbound Fitchburg train hits car between Porter Square and Belmont: No injuries, just delays
By adamg - 1/8/13 - 7:44 pmRiders on the 5:40 train to Fitchburg tweeted their train came to a sudden stop in Cambridge after hitting a car at a crossing there. AsianKerr reported the conductor came on the PA not long after:
Sorry folks, we have struck a vehicle.
After getting the remains of the car out of the way and after the train engineer was interviewed by police, the train started back up around 6:24 p.m.
A commuter-rail map based on travel time
By adamg - 1/8/13 - 9:20 amPeter Dunn, who last year gave us a subway map based on estimated travel times, has done it again with a time-based commuter-rail map.
Since commuters probably already know their schedules, the diagram is potentially more useful to new riders. Car commuters can see where they might save time by taking the train. Newcomers looking for a place to move in the region can quickly compare how much of their day they'd spend commuting from various stations. (If you choose the home another six minutes away, that's an extra hour a week you'll spend getting to and from work.)
Not something you tend to see on commuter rail
By adamg - 1/7/13 - 9:05 pmKat G. says she was pretty surprised to see graffiti on an inbound train this evening at Walpole.
Very hard to hit an MBCR train. Guaranteed it will be buffed by tonight.
Commute into South Station hosed by downed Amtrak wire
By adamg - 1/7/13 - 8:31 amCommuter-rail lines that share the Northeast Corridor with Amtrak (Providence, Franklin and Needham) are reporting delays thanks to an overhead Amtrak wire that came down somewhere between Forest Hills and downtown.
The little trolley that could
By adamg - 1/7/13 - 8:14 amThe Wandering Jew reports he isn't wandering all that much on the Green Line this morning:
This T driver is giving me whiplash. Impressive given how slowly we're going.
Joy. Alarms going off on the T. Driver using the emergency brake/door release to let passengers off.
Passengers on board urging the T to move with encouraging chants of "come on, come on" and "you can do it..."
I am not chanting encouragements. I'm muttering curses.
Kinda sorta driving forward (I could walk faster). And only front door operational - and only by the emergency release lever.
Teens sought for trying to sell guns at a T stop
By adamg - 1/5/13 - 3:08 pmMBTA Transit Police have released photos of two guys they say approached somebody at the Bremen Street entrance to the Airport T stop on Dec. 22 and "offered to sell him a .40 caliber and/or a .380 caliber firearm."
One is black, about 6'2" with a Pirates cap, dark parka with a fur-lined hood, jeans and sneakers. The other is Hispanic, 5'6" to 5'8" with a small mustache, wearing a blue leather jacket with white stripes down the arms and across the chest with some type of symbol on the upper left chest.
Know them? Contact T police at 617-222-1050 or send an anonymous tip via the SeeSay app or text to 873873.
Too bad they don't make Klepto Bismol: Woman arrested for stealing Silver Line inspector's bag says she couldn't help it
By adamg - 1/5/13 - 1:37 pmMBTA Transit Police report arresting a woman they say stole a Silver Line inspector's bag, threw it into Fort Point Channel and then announced to officers that she couldn't help herself because she's a kleptomaniac.
Nyllabrii Raikou, 20, was arrested shortly after 10 p.m. yesterday on the Summer Street bridge - where they found her being pursued by the inspector. Police say the inspector arrived at the inspector's booth at the Silver Line platform at South Station to find Raikou inside:
Upon noticing the victim Raikou exited and began to walk away. The victim immediately went inside the booth and noticed his personal bag was missing containing his cell phone and other items as well as a MBTA radio battery.
Upon noticing the victim still following her and seeing the flashing blue lights of a Transit Police cruiser less then a block away Raikou tossed the victim's bag with all its contents into the Fort Point Chanel. Officers made several attempts to recover the bag however the currents were moving too swiftly.

Sob Story Guy gets a taste of his own medicine

How to expand South Station without waiting several decades for the post office to move
By adamg - 1/5/13 - 11:10 amUtile reports on an interesting proposal by a couple of Yale architecture students: Drain Fort Point Channel south of Summer Street and put the tracks underground there - under a brand-new South Station:
The benefit is a fully subterranean train station, allowing for the redevelopment of both the existing and new track areas for urban development that can knit the Leather District directly to the loft buildings in the Fort Point District.
Just as importantly, the new South Station headhouse will provide views north across Fort Point Channel and Boston Harbor to visitors first arriving in Boston. Only the train station in Venice provides a comparatively dramatic view. Commuters and visitors would find water taxis and ferries directly across Summer Street. Importantly, the new tracks and station could be built while the existing station is fully operational. With only a flip of a switch, trains could be directed into the new station, freeing up the old facility for demolition - except for the historic headhouse, which would be saved as part of a redevelopment plan.
Sounds cool, although, of course, there are some pesky details that would need some attention, beyond the whole idea of building a dam at Summer Street: Gillette uses vast amounts of water from Fort Point Channel at World Shaving Headquarters (although presumably that's why God gave us pipes) and part of the Ted Williams Tunnel goes right under the channel.
Bonus fun fact: There used to be a looped train tunnel under South Station, but it was only used once and later part of it became a bowling alley.
Red Line held hostage: Day 3
By adamg - 1/4/13 - 9:19 amIn 2013, the Red Line is now 3 for 3 for morning delays, this time due to signal problems at North Quincy.

By adamg - 1/3/13 - 8:18 amUPDATE: A second Red Line train died at Alewife; another Green Line trolley gave up the ghost, bollxing up outbound C and E service. Commuter rail? You don't want to know.
In this young year, the Red Line is now 2 for 2 in morning-commute delays due to dead trains, this time at JFK/UMass, but today has the extra bonus of delays due to "weather-related issues."
Meghan C. reports it took her 75 minutes to get from Braintree to MGH.
The Green Line was also having problems, due to a recalcitrant train at Kenmore. There was also a dead train on the Blue Line.
It was a different story on the Orange Line. At 7:24, Joe Growhoski tweeted:
Orange line nice warm and smooth ..... So far
A 21st-century commuter-rail train enters testing
By adamg - 1/2/13 - 10:48 am
The MBTA today released this photo of brand-new two-level coaches being tested on the Lowell Line, between Anderson and North Billerica. The four coaches, part of a larger order that's now two years late, should go into service this winter.
The coaches will let the T expand capacity by eliminating the current single-level coaches, but will not help with the sort of locomotive and switching problems that caused up to 60-minute delays on some lines into South Station this morning. The T has a separate order with a different company for new locomotives.
Today on the Red Line: The Hokey Pokey
By adamg - 1/2/13 - 10:08 amDead train at Broadway and those residual delays just killed the last part of the morning commute. Erika Gordon reports on how she and some fellow commuters put their left foot in, they put their left foot out, they put their left foot in and they shook it all about:
And now we're playing musical trains. "Everyone get off of the train, there's a problem." "Alright, everyone back on, we fixed it."
At Davis, Adam Schmucker tweets:
Announcement at Davis "delays due to disabled train at Broadway." Performer on platform is singing "On Broadway."
The year on the T: Weirdness
By adamg - 1/1/13 - 4:24 pm
On a big system like the T (several hundred thousand riders on a weekday), you'd expect a certain amount of weirdness. You'd be right. Some examples from 2012:
The year on the T: Johnny get angry, Johnny get mad, but mostly angry
By adamg - 1/1/13 - 4:11 pmA lot of angry people take the T, including a T driver in Kenmore Square, who angrily responded to a BTD supervisor who wanted her to move her bus by flooring the accelerator, hitting the supervisor and several parked cars.
More anger on the T:
The year on the T: Only on the Green Line
By adamg - 1/1/13 - 2:00 pm
The Green Line has always stood apart from the other three T lines - and only partly because it's the only trolley line. Which other line would suffer service delays due to turtle? Here are some highlights from the Green Line, 2012 edition:
The year on the T: People on the tracks edition
By adamg - 12/31/12 - 5:46 pmRed Line service was halted when a shirtless guy jumped on the inbound Red Line tracks at Andrew and went for a jog down the tracks underneath South Boston. He was never found.

Woman hit in face with pellet in same area T bus was shot at last night
By adamg - 12/30/12 - 6:25 pmMBTA and Boston police are investigating whether a woman struck by some sort of pellet around 1:45 p.m. today on Washington Street near Arboretum Road was shot by the same people who shot at an inbound 35 bus in the same area last night.
MBTA Transit Police report the driver of the bus last night "observed two individuals standing in a driveway who appeared to be holding a firearm," as the bus passed Archdale Road on its way to Forest Hills.
Police say two of the buses windows were "intact but completely fractured" after apparently being shot at with "an air powered BB gun."

Got a feeling it can't be done. The publisher has to buy the rights to publish and your book will have been published already.
The only exception I've seen is for the likes of Jane Austen whose works are reprinted under Penguin and Wordsworth classics but she's been a bit on the dead side for over 70 years.
If you've been picked up by an agent and publisher they can commission you for another work. It's their hard luck if you tried to go down the traditional route with your self-published book and they missed out first time.
Yeah, I think the best route to go is to find out about buying the rights from Lulu, then going into a second print. That or, as lisaaho suggested, get them to publish another work; it sounds like it's worth a shot! Good luck :-)
I don't think Jane Austen ever published her works on Lulu Tracey!
Agents never touch any work publsihed on Lulu - not even for itinerent scouses!
02-27-2011 02:26 PM - edited 02-27-2011 03:25 PM
God, you're sharp, aren't you, missus? I'm bleeding all over my keyboard!
Who are you, anyway, KA's moll?
And how do you know an agent wouldn't look at a work published on Lulu? Lulu isn't going away anytime soon, trad publishers need to wake up to the fact that many writers out there aren't interested in making the money that lines the publishing houses' pockets, they're interested in people reading the rubbish they write.*
Rubbish like mine, actually!
+Disclaimer: self-publishing does not mean you write rubbish. So don't think it!
Jeremy originally self-published on Lulu and was subsequestly picked up by a major publisher and signed on for a few more books.
To get back to the original question:
As you hold the copyright for any book you write and publish on Lulu, there is nothing to stop you then offering the right to publish it to a conventional publisher. (Just as you can publish the same book with several POD publishers, Kindle, etc., etc.). The copyright is yours to do what you like with.
BUT - two points
1. It is highly unlikely that a normal conventional publisher will want to publish a book that has already been POD-published. (That's not to say you shouldn't try.)
2. You are likely to make a lot less money in royalties from a conventional publisher. For example, the last conventionally published book that I wrote brought me an advance of £2000 and then only another £600 in royalties despite selling over 8,000 copies. In contrast, a Lulu-published book has brought me more than double the income by selling only half as many copies. The reason is that conventional publishers have huge overheads and therefore pay much smnaller royalties per copy.
Tracey, I'm too old to be anyones Moll plus I'm from the other side of the Irish Sea.
As for knowing why an agent wouldn't look - I use to work for a major publishing and talk with a number of agents on an almost daily basis.

What Should HP Do? |
Written by Mike Buetow | |||
Thursday, 04 October 2012 08:16 | |||
The news out of Palo Alto isn't good. Now, that won't exactly come as a shock to most observers, as HP has been flat for some time. But CEO Meg Whitman yesterday acknowledged that the pain will intensify before the patient recovers, telling analysts that revenues would fall 11 to 13% over the next fiscal year. In real dollars, that's a drop of up to $16.5 billion, roughly the size of Jabil Circuit, or, the companies ranked No. 15 to 50 on the CIRCUITS ASSEMBLY Top 50. Worse, Whitman said not to expect a turnaround before 2016. Give Whitman credit for honesty, although keep in mind that, by setting the bar low, she raises the prospects for shareholder sainthood should HP's recovery come faster. But what Whitman did not disclose is what, exactly, HP's prescription for saving itself is. In all likelihood, that strategy will focus on paring of the company's core product lines -- servers, PCs and printer. Perhaps it will follow IBM's lead and sell or spin off its PC unit, an idea that the company itself has floated in the past. It says here, however, the company HP should be emulating is Apple. HP once was as respected as any business in the tech industry, admired for its stable and forward-thinking leadership, its commitment to research and development, and a manufacturer of the top rank. Today, that path is more remembrance than reality. The company has long since moved away from its manufacturing roots, outsourcing almost anything it could. (Foxconn, Quanta and Wistron have been major beneficiaries.) What HP, along with Dell and many of the other big PC makers, is learning the hard way is, you give away the family jewels at your own peril. By offloading its fixed assets -- and that includes its people -- HP also gave away its competitive advantage. It's become a parody of itself, a business confined to imitation, not innovation. Sure, HP has to retool, but it should do so by going back to its roots, much like Apple did when Steve Jobs was welcomed back after 11 years wandering the desert. "Invent" was a favorite marketing campaign of HP. The company should practice what it preaches, bring design and manufacturing back in-house, and strive to be the technology leader it once was. It can be done. But HP has to be committed to the task. On Oct. 22, chat with Mike Buetow about PCB West and SMTAI at PCB Chat.

"Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up"—Deuteronomy 6:7 (NIV).
No one ever told me that being a mother could be heartbreaking. Neither did anyone ever tell me that it could also be one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. My own mother, who passed away almost nine years ago, certainly didn't tell me, but then, she raised two daughters. I raised two sons. Therein is the difference, at least from my perspective.
Before I became a mother at age 23, I read the books on parenting. You know the ones that tell you, "Do this, but don't do that." Fewer volumes of advice were available in 1977 when my first son was born. When the second son came along almost four years later, who had time to read a book? The wisdom I had learned in the trenches before his birth, however, did not prepare me for the differences in the two. When I talk about my sons, I always tell others that if my second-born had been my first-born, he would have been an only child. God certainly has a sense of humor. So does my second son.
Recently, I spoke to approximately 50 graduating seniors at a mother-daughter tea. To prepare for the event, I asked other mothers what advice they would give to the young women who were beginning a new chapter in their lives. I don't have room to include all of their sage advice but have distilled their words into the following, which is appropriate for both genders:
- Never let society define the most important things in life, such as values, integrity, truth, success, and your own self-worth. Those things are far too important to be determined by popular opinion.
- There is nobody else in the world like you, so be who God uniquely created you to be. Don't try to pattern yourself after somebody else.
- Always put your relationship with Christ first. As long as you focus on that, everything else will fall into place.
- "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you" (Matthew 7:12). This should be a guiding principle for all aspects of your life—personal, home and career.
While I never received this specific advice as a teenager, I learned some real-life lessons from my mother. She taught me how to be a survivor and the value of hard work. She taught me that doing well in school and getting a college education would ensure a better future. She taught me to treat others with respect, no matter who they were. She taught me the basics, like cooking, cleaning and ironing. I can't say, however, that I like to do any of these practical things today.
While my mother was a model of good behavior and proper decorum during my impressionable years, my spiritual growth has come through reading scripture, Bible study and personal experience. Today, I celebrate the foundation I had in her teachings.

Police: Woman held captive 10 days in Colusa
A 33-year-old Yuba City woman grabbed her 3-year-old son and fled a home where Colusa police said they had been held captive since New Year's Eve.
The woman, whose identity has been withheld, escaped sometime before 5 p.m. Thursday from the East Oak Street home where she had been kept, Colusa police reported.
A passing motorist saw the woman and took her and her son to the Colusa County Sheriff's Department. The Colusa police were notified then.
The woman was treated at Colusa Regional Medical Center for injuries consistent with her story that when she had tried to leave the home before, her captor had beaten her severely.
The boy was not injured, police said.
Police arrested Jermaine Lonell Roberts, 35, of Colusa, at 6:39 p.m. Thursday in connection with the kidnapping.
Roberts and the woman had apparently been involved in a relationship, but that it had been over for several months, police said.
The woman, who was not listed as missing in any jurisdiction, reported that she was apprehended about 11 p.m. on Dec. 31 while she was sitting in her car on the 500 block of Clay Street, police said.
The boy was asleep in the back seat.
"The suspect, Jermaine Lonell Roberts, forced the victim to drive to his home on Oak Street, just outside the city limits, where she held her and her son there for several days," the police said in a statement. "When the victim tried to flee the house, Roberts caught her and severely beat the victim, inflicting significant injuries." The woman escaped when Roberts was sleeping, police said. Roberts had fled his home and was found in a neighbor's residence, where he was arrested, police said.
He was booked into the Colusa County Jail on suspicion of kidnapping, false imprisonment, oral copulation by force, and assault with a deadly weapon not a firearm, with the likelihood of great bodily injury.
He also was booked on two counts of threatening to commit a crime with the intent to terrorize, robbery burglary, the sale of an access card with the intent to commit fraud, inflicting corporal injury upon a spouse or cohabitant, and battery causing serious bodily injury,
Bail was set at $315,000.

This is what me and my friends have been doing since skimboarding..
This is what me and my friends have been doing since skimboarding..
dont know much about longboads and i want to get some new wheels and bearings for christmas. i've got a gfhurley pigme. i mainly just skate for transportation and a little bit of carving. suggestions?
hows my posting?
Let me know 954 - 805-6715
^He asked for wheels and bearings? unless you're just posting that of course.
just get bones bearings,t hey're cheap and work great. get some wheels of like 70mm or so.
here ya go.
free shipping, good selection. for bearing get reds like suggested or you can go cheaper with speedy lunatics which i heard good things from. for wheels, there are too many to choose from. also spend $8 on bushings, itll make your board ride much better.
I've got the gfh fatties and really enjoy them. Apparently the website is expired..
-David Behar
Get some abec 11 flashbacks, im pretty sure theyre 70mm and decently cheap. Will carve and roll great, they hold up great to serious abuse so they should last a hot minute.
Don't bro me if you don't know me.
fellas, on a board of this size, you can't be rolling big dumb wheels. Don't want to look you're pushing a radio flyer around.
retro 66mm zig zags in this bitch
No. I am fracking chill.
Best race-deck in history. My first one was the first gen and got broken in a accident. After that I was in a long and dark transition period trying to find a board that came close to this one (kebbek wasn't making these for a long time). I was literally one of the first to grab one of the new ones when they started pressing them again. Twas a happy day.
I mourned for this board:
My new one:
I might chop it a bit more in the future.
I havent ridden it yet, I have only ever ridden a sector 9 bamboo looseshow
Chopped and redrilled at ~27" would be the dopeness.
Don't bro me if you don't know me.
Kinda seems like Kebbek just makes boards whenever the frack they want...
My friend just got a custom one of these with some nice 81a freerides. That is a sweet setup!
Clear grip for the ultra mega loss.
Don't bro me if you don't know me.
I don't mind it cause it actually holds really well for now at least. It might wear out really fast though
I think I decided to add this board to the arsenal. I'm looking on a board that controls well at high speeds. I skate pretty much everyday only up to like 40 mph though which is why I'm looking to get a downhill board. I have big hills and mountain passes in town. Earthwing road killer
i'd say the trucks/bushings a bigger factor with "control" at speeds. I mean, some boards maybe better than others but I could take any of my friends decks and slap my truck setup on there and ride those downhill.
I recently started using two barrels for bushings for downhill, do like. also it's cold out. 40-50 at like 12:30 at night is coldddd.
Getting a landyachtz switch, on the way now. It is a 37, and I got Paris 180s and Bigzigs. Should be sick, thoughts?

My brother screwed up my griptape on my Comet so Im taking it off and doing the dance of the Where The Wild Things Are monsters and clear grippin it.
Clear grip is megasuck traction/durability wise.
Don't bro me if you don't know me.
I'm not too worried cause it's just my campus cruising board. Plus I was thinking about cutting the middle section of grip out and doing the art on the middle of the board
I think I found castertown in a youtube video accidentally.
Pine cones are so evil. My hip hurts so much. heh
Left my moms a note with these quotes on a trunk
It says I split to Earth to resurrect the funk
i will be procuring a vac bag.
Like on that bc board I posted its a different kind of clear grip. It is actual grip tape that is clear not the loaded spray on stuff they use (could be wrong) . But from my experience with loaded they wear off really quick where you feet alwasy are.
Spray on shit will wear faster in more common foot places, it happened on my sex 9 carving deck, sucks because you can't just pull the tape off like real griptape.
duh... it will wear like a normal grip tape will, exactly where you normally put your foot, definitely dont put it on a landyachtz with gnar bars, it would be a constant spot that has trouble.

Abstract: This paper discusses factors affecting the execution of supply chain management and presents a conceptual model and six hypotheses based on such factors identified in the literature. The model was tested in two European country-specific cases using structural equation modelling. Findings in both cases confirm the hypothesized hierarchical order of three proposed antecedents: 'internal SCM conditions' affect 'joint SCM conditions' which in turn influences collaborative 'SCM-related processes'. Managerial implications are that firms in both countries should adopt these hierarchical steps to ensure a rigorous and appropriate approach to achieving full and integrative SCM.

Algren, Casper; Kotzab, Herbert (Frederiksberg, 2011)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Purpose: We have examined which dimensions are used by the largest Danish manufacturing companies to measure SCPM at operational, tactical and strategic level, how can these dimensions be classified, and how do these empirical results have implications for practice and selected SCPM-theories. Design/methodology/approach: A deductive structure based on a theoretical framework was used to design an empirical investigation of 54 Danish manufacturing companies, which all have revenue of more than DKK 500 million. Furthermore, qualitative investigation was done by analyzing four casecompanies in order to get a more in-depth picture of how SCPM is used in practice. Findings: The four most used SCPM metrics have downstream focus. Companies that use SCPM have a more deliberated split between metrics with focus on operational, tactical and strategic level. While the quantitative data indicates that non-financial measurements are most frequently used, the qualitative data implies that the companies use financial measures as basis for performance measurement and that results from non-financial measures have second priority. Research limitations/implications (if applicable): The model is limited to large Danish industrial companies and we propose to widen the model to upstream and downstream supply chain partners. Practical implications (if applicable): The paper shows the most important and most frequently used supply chain relevant key performance indicators as well as a process model of how to implement supply chain performance measurement in a company. Original/value: This paper closes the gap between theory and practice within the area of performance measurement and management within the context of supply chain management. The proposed SCPM model has been theoretically developed and empirically validated. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/8331 Files in this item: 1

South Woodford 95 all out beat Ilford 64 by 31 runs
South Woodford successfully defended a low total on a tricky wicket in Saturday's derby match with Ilford in the Shepherd Neame Essex League Premier Division at Highfield Road.
The victory, South Woodford's fourth of the campaign, continues their good start to the season which leaves them snapping at the heels of the top two. Whereas the loss for Ilford prolongs their recent bad run of results, that followed an impressive start to the season.
Ilford skipper Maz Malik won the toss and put South Woodford in. They appeared to have the upper hand as the attack, led by Theeban Tavarasa (6-17), restricted them to a modest total.
Yet in reply, the Ilford batsmen failed to post any sort of totals as Pratik Acharya (6-24) kept them pinned down.
"The pitch won that," fixture secretary Tim Coe said. "It wasn't venomous in any way. There wasn't much sun and it was overcast. But it was getting a bit spongy and giving an uneven bounce.
"It was just a good all-round performance to win.
"We are where we want to be at this stage of the season and confidence is very high. We have several players coming back next week who have been away doing exams."
Skipper Nick Browne (6), who had missed the previous week's win over Woodford Wells due to duties at Essex, opened the batting, but didn't last long as he was caught by Saf Imtiaz off Vilas Kutty (2-16).
Browne's opening partner Michael Browne (2) also departed cheaply when caught by Abir Chippa off Kutty.
Ashley Leat (17) posted the first meaningful total and the middle order started to push the tally along with a series of solid displays with the bat.
Leat was the next to fall victim to Ilford's impressive display in the field, that featured seven catches and a run out, when he was caught by Imtiaz off Tavarasa.
Imtiaz completed his hat-trick of catches when he caught Joe Craddock (9) off Khaleeq Malik (1-14).
Max Shirt (19) and top scorer Acharya (21) added runs, but proved to be no match for Tavarasa who proceeded to tear South Woodford's batsmen apart, taking five wickets as the hosts were dismissed for 95 runs in 51 overs.
In reply, Ilford lost their first wicket cheaply when Nick Browne caught Gagan Bhogal (1) off Garry Neicho.
Acharya then set about the visiting batsmen, tearing through the top order as he took six wickets with Sohail Idrees (12) the only one of his victims to reach double figures.
Skipper Maz Malik attempted to inject some stability, only to be caught by Richard Browne off Nick Browne (1-6) for 11 runs. Their chase was concluded when Tavarasa (2) was run out. Kanishk Singh (15) finished unbeaten.

NEW PALTZ, N.Y. -- Kimberly Adams said she always felt called to look after the overlooked. In under two years since creating the nonprofit "Gifts from the Heart for Downs," Kimberly has granted nearly fifty wishes to adults and kids like her own two, with Down's Syndrome. "I was asked, did you know anybody with Down's Syndrome, and I did not," said Adams. "I didn't have a family member, we didn't have any friends who had children with Down's Syndrome, but you sometime know that that's what you're supposed to do, that that's your life journey."
Kimberly has worked night and day for 17 years to care for Judy and Matthew, her two adopted children. And now she's a fairy godmother for families around the country, making their dreams come true; Everything from a meeting with Miley Cyrus or John Travolta, to getting an iPad or a specially made tricycle.
"You can give them the simplest thing and they're so thankful and grateful," said Adams.
"Special, nice and excited," said Kimberly's thirteen-year-old daughter, Judy.
"You think they go around the house all day long with a smile?" our reporter asked.
"Yes," she replied.
Judy recently came up with the idea of raising Dimes for Downs, to help her mom fill other wishes.
"Her goal is 155 million," said Kimberly. "Mine? You know--the skies the limit."
So far, 35,294 dimes have been sent in from as far away as Australia. Kimberly says all the work is rewarding--those with Down's Syndrome have shown her unconditional love.
"I personally believe that they're angels, angels here on earth," said Kimberly. "It just makes me happy to be able to do that for them, because my children have done so much for me."
If you're interested in chipping in a few dimes, please visit www.giftsfromtheheartfordowns.org.

Re: Hot girl at Babes - w4w - 27 (Babes Of Carytown)
I think this post is about me, but I'm not sure. I wore my cowboy hat to Babe's two weekends ago, and I dance ridiculous all the time. My name's not Denny though, but it's close. Can you give me anymore hints about what I was wearing or what I looked like that would help confirm or deny?
In case this is to me:
When you saw me on the dance floor, you probably just didn't notice your heart failure because the electricity from my dancing shocked your chest like a defibrillator. But really, I know I made your heart stop. Don't worry, if I make you breathless, I'm first aid certified and can give you CPR.
My friend probably did shout my name but only because she was so impressed. She was shouting for more heel, toe. I call it awesomeness, but if you need a reason for my spaziness, I wrote a haiku to explain:
Thanks for your concern.
Dance floor is made of lava.
Can't let my feet burn.
So mystery lady, I danced at Babe's last night. Where were you? Too shy to say hi?
Well, put on your spurs and boot, scoot my way. Just be careful when you come up to me because I can't be held accountable for my flailing arms and legs.

A Life Without Passion is No Life At All
"A life without passion is no life at all," I mumbled to my date. He laughed over his frozen yogurt and said, "That sounds so cheesy, like a card." I smiled. He was right. I don't know if what I said is a quote from somewhere or if I read it on a card once, but I do know the words are true. I can't imagine anything without passion. Even fun for me, is something that has some passion.One of my pet peeves is people who lack passion. It makes me want to poke my own eye out when I talk to a man and he has no passion or depth to him. The center of my very being is passion. It's the reason I do everything.
I understand people become shy or may be a simple type of person. Even the shy person can find passion in their silence. You should be able to feel it in their look, their touch, their movements. When they do say something, even the smallest thing, it should evoke feelings that make you want to be around them more. When it comes to the simple man life should still be about awakening. Sometimes even in subtlety the most beautiful passions can be set on fire.
I am not saying you always have to be on the edge of your seat, about to set off on a great adventure, or make love like they do in the movies, but if you feel you lack passion, bring some spark to your table or pick up a new interest. Life should always be about absorbing new things, improving, learning, and being passionately happy. Some people may disagree and say my thoughts are childlike and only exist somewhere in a book, however does not everything we do stem from a desire? Such as, talking things out to repair your relationship.
That comes from the passion you feel for your mate or the desire to rekindle what was once there. If you had no passion for it, you would move on. Even staying around in a relationship, because you feel sorry for the person and would feel guilty for leaving has to be born out of some mad-passion.
Going to college, writing a blog, taking a trip, throwing a party, buying a gift, chasing your dreams... these are all things derived from a want to please your hungry soul. I may sound silly like some 1960's hippie song, however I can promise you without passion you will fail. If you don't have some, find it... and if you don't believe me, try living a life without one.What is your passion?

NRA says Congress will not pass weapons ban
WASHINGTON (AP) — The powerful gun lobby is gauging enough support in Congress to block a law that would ban assault weapons, despite promises from the White House and senior lawmakers to make such a measure a reality.
Senators plan to introduce a bill that would ban assault weapons and limit the size of ammunition magazines, like the one used in the December shooting massacre that killed 27 people, most of them children, in Newtown, Conn. Democratic Sen. Dianne Feinstein of California has promised to push for a renewal of expired legislation.
The National Rifle Association has so far prevented passage of another assault weapons ban like the one that expired in 2004. But some lawmakers say the Newtown tragedy has transformed the country, and Americans are ready for stricter gun laws. President Barack Obama has made gun control a top priority. And on Tuesday Vice President Joe Biden is expected to give Obama a comprehensive package of recommendations for curbing gun violence.
Still, the NRA has faith that Congress would prevent a new weapons ban.
"When a president takes all the power of his office, if he's willing to expend political capital, you don't want to make predictions. You don't want to bet your house on the outcome. But I would say that the likelihood is that they are not going to be able to get an assault weapons ban through this Congress," NRA president David Keene told CNN's "State of the Union."
Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., responded with a flat out "no" when asked on CBS' "Face the Nation" whether Congress would pass a ban on assault weapons.
Democratic West Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin, a lifelong member of the NRA has said everything should be on the table to prevent another tragedy like Newtown. But he assured gun owners he would fight for gun rights at the same time. "I would tell all of my friends in NRA, I will work extremely hard and I will guarantee you there will not be an encroachment on your Second Amendment rights," Manchin said on ABC's "This Week."
The NRA's deep pockets help bolster allies and punish lawmakers who buck them. The group spent at least $24 million in the 2012 elections — $16.8 million through its political action committee and nearly $7.5 million through its affiliated Institute for Legislative Action. Separately, the NRA spent some $4.4 million through July 1 to lobby Congress. Keene insists the group represents its members and not just the gun manufacturers, though he said the NRA would like industry to contribute more money to the association.
"We know what works and what doesn't work. And we're not willing to compromise on people's rights when there is no evidence that doing so is going to accomplish the purpose," Keene said.
The NRA, instead, is pushing for measures that would keep guns out of the hands of the mentally ill, until a person gets better. "If they are cured, there ought to be a way out of it," Keene said. Continued...
Currently, a person is banned from buying a gun from a licensed dealer if the person is a fugitive, a felon, convicted of substance abuse, convicted of domestic violence, living in the U.S. illegally or someone who "has been adjudicated as a mental defective or has been committed to any mental institution."
States, however, are inconsistent in providing information about mentally ill residents to the federal government for background checks. And, the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence said some 40 percent of gun sales happen with no background checks, such as at gun shows and by private sellers over the Internet or through classified ads.

The body of missing tourist Elisa Lam, 21, was found Tuesday by a maintenance worker at the 600-room, $65-a-night hotel after guests complained about low water pressure. "The moment we found out, we felt a bit sick to the stomach, quite literally," said guest Michael Baugh. County Department of Public Health officials said the health risks are minimal but are running tests on the water. |

Catholic Central community pulls together after death of David Widzinski
NOVI — The news of the passing of Novi Detroit Catholic Central football player David Widzinski has left the Shamrocks community with a heavy heart.
"We've been shaken," admitted Catholic Central athletic director Aaron Babicz Tuesday afternoon. "But we're a family and we will fight hand-and-hand to overcome this this tragedy together."
Widzinski, 15, was the only sophomore starter on this year's team. He was found non-responsive in his bed by his mother on Monday morning. The cause of death is still undetermined.
Funeral services will be held later this week at the Catholic Central campus. A resident of Northville, Widzinski is survived by his mother, Barbara, his father, Paul, his sister Emily, 17, and his brother, Stephen, 20.
Coming on strong in the final half of the season, starting at middle linebacker for a Shamrocks' squad that made their second appearance in a row in the Division 1 state championship game, Widzinski was just beginning to appear on the radar of big-time college scouts.
In the state finals — a 36-21 defeat at the hand of Detroit Cass Tech — he had a huge outing, tallying a game-high 15 tackles.
"David had such a passion for life, he was always smiling," Babicz said. "He took pride in the way he competed, which was always relentless. His future was so bright. Everyone will always remember him. The impression he made on this school in a short amount of time is pretty amazing."
The outpour of emotion and goodwill towards Catholic Central in the aftermath of the tragic occurrence has been overwhelming.
"The support we've received from around the area has been tremendous," Babicz said.
Morning mass at the school on Tuesday attracted so many people that the crowd spilled well into the hallway. Gathering in the locker room Monday evening, members of the football team took a photo of themselves' holding Widzinski's No. 33 Shamrocks jersey and sent it to his family. Continued...
Sadly, this isn't the first tragedy to befall Catholic Central or the overall Oakland County prep sports landscape in recent months. Widzinski's death is the third of an area athlete since August.
Sal Cipriano, a Shamrocks football and baseball player, was severely beaten with a baseball bat, his father, Robert, killed, in an attack last April in a crime his older brother Tucker currently stands charged with in Oakland County Circuit Court.
"It's an emotionally-trying time for these kids and the C.C family, in general," Babicz said. "I have no doubt we will get through it though and pick each other up in the process. There is strength in unity."
Catholic Central Principal John Huber issued the following statement Tuesday morning.
"The hearts of our community have been tugged in several different and painful directions over the past year….Our entire community stands with David's parents, Paul and Barbara, his sister Emily and his brother Stephen. Their pain is our pain. We are all one family,"

Score distribution:
Positive: 44 out of 46
Mixed: 2 out of 46
Negative: 0 out of 46
100Zero Dark Thirty is precise, definitive filmmaking, yet Bigelow refuses to hand over easy answers. Some people call that evasion. I call it the ultimate despair.
100Gripping throughout, with an impressive central performance, this is like a Dogme 95 redo of a Chuck Norris film - by heroic effort, the good guys find and kill a bad guy. How you feel about that is something Bigelow leaves you to decide.
80Breathlessly tense, thrillingly orchestrated and intellectually complex, this damn fine piece of rigorous, meticulous filmmaking enhances Kathryn Bigelow's status as one of her generation's most accomplished directors.
58By showing scenes of torture without taking any kind of moral (as opposed to tactical) stand on what we are seeing, Bigelow has made an amoral movie – which is, I would argue, an unconscionable approach to this material.
