In recent years, there has been a dramatic growth in the volume of regulatory requirements in the IT industry. International standards have added to the pressure on information security professionals to manage IT compliance processes in an effective and streamlined manner. The risks of non-compliance can sometimes cost companies millions of dollars in regulatory fines, litigation, and missed opportunities. Hence, a robust IT compliance and control program is necessary to meet regulatory, legal, and audit requirements, especially in today's digital enterprises.Download Fact Sheet
MetricStream IT Compliance Management App
The MetricStream IT Compliance Management App provides a centralized system to manage and track compliance with a range of IT regulations and standards. The app scales across the enterprise, streamlining and automating IT compliance management workflows, while consolidating compliance data in a central repository for optimal visibility.
The app simplifies compliance by bringing together controls, policies, and assessments in an integrated structure, tailored to your organization's requirements. The app also provides a centralized, access-controlled environment to monitor IT compliance processes, assess control deficiencies, and manage remediation. Through the system, executive management gains the visibility they need into the relationship between IT risk and IT compliance across the organization. This data, in turn, enables them to better balance risks and business performance.

Schedule alerts for events such as exceptions and failures to eliminate any surprises, and to make the IT compliance process predictable.

I want to note that Love Bottle sent us the following bottles in order to facilitate this review, no other compensation was gained in writing this post. 🙂
I love drinking water. Cold water is the best, and I haven't really had a good system for taking water on the go for me. Plastic bottles are bad for the environment, even if we recycle them. I know that recycling is good and all, but… often we have so much to recycle at home that our bin is overflowing and we need a large cardboard box next to the huge outside bin by the time our two week pickup for recyclables comes around.
There are also just those times we are out and about, what then? Throw the bottle in the trash because it's just not as easy to find a place to recycle when on the go? I stumbled upon Love Bottle when searching for a solution to that problem for me. I wanted something easy to carry around, sturdy, and well.. looking good was another thing for me.
The nice thing about glass bottles, for me anyway, is things taste better coming out of glass compared to plastic. Water is no different in this regard.
The only thing I really regret about my love bottle, is I went for the smaller size instead of the large. I find that I drink it pretty quickly and if I am in the car I don't have anything more to drink until I am some place that I can refill.
Here is a little about how Love Bottles are helpful over plastic bottles, straight from the company…
How Love Bottles Can Help the Environment
Statistically, each person in the U.S. drinks one 8-ounce plastic water bottle a day. This means that, on average, each love bottle can annually reduce plastic water bottle consumption by 365 bottles! With the average cost of water being $1.00 per 8-ounce bottle (or more) this is a savings of $365 a year!
- If 1000 people use a love bottle we reduce our plastic bottle consumption by 365,000 bottles a year.
- If 10,000 people use a love bottle we reduce our plastic bottle consumption by 3,650,000 bottles a year!
- If 1 million people use a love bottle we reduce our plastic bottle consumption by 365 million bottles a year!
- If you know someone who is always drinking out of a plastic water bottle, give them a love bottle as a gift for them and the planet! Each person and each step helps make a difference.
- To learn more about how we help the planet click here.
My Love Bottles are etched with the saying "Dream Big and Never Let Go" and wind curls as designed by Melanie W.
Carriers are also sold for Love Bottles, and they have many designs available! Seeing as they're glass you can write on your bottle with permanent marker, and it'll come off with the next wash so you can edit it as you see fit without worry that it'll get ruined!
The seal is tight, with no leaks at all, in fact the seal was a little difficult for me to open at first because I didn't know how much pressure to put or not. I got the standard Love Bottle lid with a heart on top, but I like it that way. You may also get a plain lid if you want. 🙂
A blank bottle would be a fun addition to our line up, as I could decorate it every time I think. 🙂
What kind of bottle do you use on the go? Reusable? Disposable? What is your favorite of the Love Bottle designs?

Riding, striding and scooting for historic churches
A TEAM of cyclists pedalled from the Lords "the home of cricket" in London to their own home of village cricket in Wytham in Oxfordshire.
The four men, from Wytham Cricket Club, raised £1,200 for the Oxfordshire Historic Churches Trust. They were among hundreds of people in Oxfordshire, Berkshire and Buckinghamshire who once again chose to ride bikes or horses or walk around as many churches as possible to raise funds for their respective Historic Churches Trusts.
Tom Hollis, Captain of Wytham Cricket Club, said this was the second year running the cricketers had decided to get on their bikes for the Ride and Stride.
Tom said: "Our route took us out along the Grand Union Canal and then to Stoke Poges, Bourne End, Cookham and Marlow before we started climbing the Chilterns.
Once we'd (with a small diversion in error) crested the hills at Christmas Common we headed back to Oxford via Watlington, Cuxham, Chalgrove and Stadhampton. Highlights included riding through Burnham Beeches and the views of Oxfordshire as we rode down into Watlington.
"I have to admit that as we approached the 60 mile mark we were delighted to see signs for Oxford, and gradually to see the tower blocks of Blackbird Leys on the skyline."
They arrived in Wytham after six hours and 30 minutes in the saddle. The Friends of All Saints Church had the bunting out and rang the bells as they arrived. "The cold beers that were waiting were very welcome too," added Tom. "We were pleased with what we raised but we would love to push that figure even higher." To sponsor the cyclists go to www.justgiving.com/wythamcricket2014. In Radley, near Oxford, a mini event gave young children the chance to walk around the village church or scoot up the path.
The Revd Pam McKellen said: "We have decided to attach a project to it as OHCT is good at helping us. We are aiming for £2,000 and £1,000 will go to the OHCT, the other will pay for a replacement gate."
Meanwhile in Buckinghamshire, the MP for Beaconsfield, Dominic Grieve cycled, visiting every church in his constituency. Mr Grieve, who does the ride every four years started at St Thomas, Holtspur and finished at All Saints Bisham. He had cycled about 50 miles.
In Berkshire a group from Binfield visited churches in White Waltham, Shottesbrooke, Waltham St Lawrence, Ruscombe, Twyford, Hurst and Binfield with a couple going on to Sonning and Henley.
Clive Betteridge, of the Berkshire Historic Churches Trust said: "We also had a team of motor-cyclists who were attempting a round-Berkshire trip from Lambourn in the west to Old Windsor in the east and back by a different route."

Meebo hit the RE Blogging community last week when it started showing up on a lot of the real estate blogs I read everyday.
I found this Meebo post at 3 Oceans Real Estate by Kevin Boer
quickly followed by seeing it appear on:
Phoenix AZ Real Estate Blog Jonathan Dalton
Transparent RE Pat Kitano
Tucson Real Estate
I put it on the Lab blog to take it for a spin. It requires you to install a code snippet which I put in a text box in the side-bar widget. It also requires you to log into your Meebo account in order to appear online and ready to chat.
You don't chat in the same window like Gabbly you can see it in action at Sellsius
When someone comes to your blog Meebo goes out and checks to see if you are available. This does effect the load time of your blog and it repeats the process every time a user clicks to view a new page or post.
The downside I discovered is the Meebo code causes 6 wc3 validation errors. At least it did on both my blogs. Once I removed the meebo code snippet the validation errors went away.
I'm very particular about staying WC3 compliant. I like seeing the green screen of validation instead of the red screen of errors.
If it doesn't bother you to be out of WC3 compliance Meebo might be for you. For I've removed it from both blogs. If I get time I'll try and see if there is a fix for the code to bring it into compliance like the fix for the MyBlogLog Widget posted here.

FM firefighters rescue woman off 40-foot hillside
FORT MADISON – Fort Madison firefighters rescued a woman Friday who had fallen down an embankment behind a trailer park north of the Fort Madison High School.
According to Fort Madison Fire Department Capt. Mike Schneider, four firefighters from the department's B-Shift, two Lee County EMS EMTs, and two police officers responded to an area behind the trailer park at 18th Street and Avenue A, where a woman had fallen down a 30- to 40-foot embankment while apparently looking for her pet.
"There's a creek back there with some pretty steep sides and she went looking for her cat, fell and slipped down the hillside and then down the embankment, and was kind of stuck there," Schneider said.
He said after receiving the call, the department, which was already on another medical call, sent a truck to the scene. Firefighters then called for truck 9442 to bring ropes and a stokes basket. Upon arrival, firefighters had to rig up a ropes system and lower personnel down the hillside to attend to the woman who had to be put onto a backboard and then put in the stokes basket to be lifted off the hillside.
He said several rigging systems had to be implemented for change of direction.
Schneider said the woman was about two-thirds of the way down the hillside that was rough with roots and underbrush.
"When she fell she was complaining of some injuries, so we had to take some spinal precautions. We can't just throw a rope 30 to 40 feet down and haul somebody out. I thought our guys did a really good job of getting the ropes and pulley systems set up and getting her out of there."
He said the department had just undergone some rope rescue training that week.
"The ironic thing about it is that this week was ropes training," he said. "On Tuesday we set up haul systems with ropes and everything and did raising with rope systems. On Friday we had a Firefighter 1 web-based training where we followed up with some video training. And a couple hours later we were out there using that training."
The victim, who couldn't be identified because of privacy laws, was taken by Lee County EMS to Fort Madison Community Hospital and her condition is not available.

How to Prevent and Protect Against Mold
You may notice some funny, unfamiliar smells in your home and not realize how dangerous they can be to your health. This more than likely is mold and mildew. These agents can weaken the integrity of your home and ruin your family's health. You can protect your house and family from these dangerous invaders with some simple tips.
Where Mold and Mildew Creep In
Mildew loves to grow in places like closets, dresser drawers, and of course basements. These locations can create the ideal environment for mildew growth with the right temperature and any amount of moisture. Keep these areas clean as well as thoroughly clean any articles of clothing or items you store in them.
Limit the Moisture in Your Air
To limit the amount of mold spores floating in the air of your home, you need to reduce the moisture. Making sure your air conditioning unit is properly working because cooler temperatures are an inhospitable place for these spores. Dehumidifiers are also useful in basements and other parts of your home as they pull moisture out of the air.
Keep All Surfaces Dry
Defeating dampness is one of the most important factors in combating mold and mildew. Mold spores are prevalent throughout the air we breath and if you have surfaces where water pools, these spores will land there and grow. Waterproofing any cracks and crevices as well as staying on top of any leaks will prevent a mold and mildew takeover in your home.
Odors Might Mean You Have Mold or Mildew
Musty Odors are an alarming indicator that you may have been invaded by mold and mildew. To remove the musty scent in your basement sprinkle chlorinated lime and let it set until the smell disappears then sweep it up. For cement floors and your tiled bathroom walls use a diluted solution of sodium hypochlorite or chlorine bleach, keep your windows open while you wipe the area and don't close your windows until the area is completely dry.
Beating Mold and Mildew with Chemicals
There are chemical alternatives available to you if you find that most conventional means just aren't working. You can purchase granules of anhydrous calcium sulfate, silica gel, or activated alumina. Place them in a cloth bag or in an open container and put it in the closet, on a shelf, or out on the floor. These chemicals aren't harmful to fabrics and can be reused repeatedly.
Mold and Mildew Can Be Fatal
Mold and mildew invasion is very serious, with the latest World Health Organization (WHO) statistics showing that over 7 million people died as a result of these air pollutants. There are plenty of easy steps you can utilize in removing mold and mildew from your home. Sometimes you may need to contact a professional with reinforcements for your battle, but don't be worried, your home and your health can be protected against these pesky invaders!

Great Pitching Duel In Massachusetts
Walter Johnson was born in Humboldt, Kansas in 1887. His family moved to Orange County, California in 1902 and settled in a small oil boomtown Olinda. Johnson attended Fullerton Union High School where he struck out 27 batters during a 15-inning game. While playing minor league in Idaho Johnson was spotted by a talent scout and signed a contract with the Washington Senators in July 1907 at the age of 19. He immediately was recognized as a great pitcher pitched with a sidearm motion where power pitchers are normally known for pitching with a straight-overhand delivery. Johnson's motion was especially difficult for right-handed batters to follow.
On September 6, 1912 one of the greatest pitching match-ups in baseball history took place when the Washington Senators played the Boston Red Sox in Boston. Wood has already won 29 games this season and is on his 14th consecutive win. The Red Sox scored their only run on back-to-back doubles (Tris Speaker and Duffy Lewis). Wood's 9th inning strikeout ended the shutout game with a wild Fenway Park celebration.

Wicked Recipes for Lean Muscle Building
When it comes to getting fit, it's all about building lean muscle. Lean muscle will burn excess body fat, boost your metabolism, and give you that sleek look we all want. Want to know the secret to lean muscle building? It's all about eating right! You need to eat foods with healthy fats, amino acids, complex carbs, and vitamins and minerals, but you also need to consume Branch Chain Amino Acids (BCAAs). Instead of buying a BCAA supplement, here are some wicked recipes to try to get all the BCAAs you need for lean muscle building:
Chicken Breast
Chicken breast is one of the best sources of BCAAs, and it's one of the best low-fat proteins around! It's quick and easy to make, highly versatile, and packs a protein punch. To make a delicious chicken breast, all you need to do is add a few spices (such as salt, pepper, cumin, paprika, etc.), mix in a bit of oil (coconut oil and olive oil are both brilliant additions), and considering something to add a bit of liquid (such as lemon or soy sauce). It's the easiest thing to cook, and it will deliver all the amino acids you need!
Peanut Butter
Peanut butter is a wonderful source of BCAAs, and you'll find that each spoonful delivers the amino acid punch your body needs. One excellent snack to make is Peanut Butter and Granola balls. Basically, whip up a batch of homemade granola (using a lot less sugar and oil than the commercial products), and roll the oats in with the peanut butter. You can store them in the fridge and pull them out whenever you need a quick pick-me-up.
Feta/Ricotta Cheese
Feta cheese is a delicious cheese made from a mixture of goat's and sheep's milk, while Ricotta is the version made exclusively with sheep's milk. Both types of cheese are rich in BCAAs, and they contain the healthy fats your body needs to build muscle and burn fat. You can make a simple snack of ricotta or feta cheese (or a mixture of both) on a slice of whole wheat toast, served with cucumber and tomato slices, with a sprinkling of olive oil, salt, and green herbs (oregano, basil, thyme, parsley, etc.) on top. It's a delicious, wickedly easy snack that makes a wonderful pre-workout meal.
If you're looking for a low-fat source of BCAAs, look no further than legumes. Beans, lentils, chickpeas, and split peas are all excellent sources of these amino acids, and they contain ZERO fat. They're all fiber, minerals, and amino acids, making them one of the healthiest foods around. You can cook them up on their own, add them into a veggie soup, or make your own protein-rich meals by adding meat (such as the ground beef added into chili con carne). They're as healthy as it gets, and an amazing source of muscle-building amino acids.
Eggs are another amazing source of the amino acids your body needs for lean muscle building. If you want to pack on the muscle and burn more fat, you should definitely eat more eggs on a regular basis. Of course, you don't want to overdo it on the egg yolks, as that is where all of the cholesterol in the eggs is. You should eat an egg or two per day, with the rest of your amino acids coming from egg whites. Fry them up in a skillet, turn them into a veggie-heavy frittata, or enjoy them boiled--it's all the same! Plus, eggs are beautifully versatile, making them a handy addition to any meal.

The use of microwaves as a nonconventional energy source in the manufacturing process of glass-ceramic foam is presented in the paper. The main raw materials, representing 88wt.% of the load, are bottle glass waste and old clay brick waste, available in very large quantities. The weight ratio of the two waste types was varied between 3/1 – 3/2, aiming the improvement of the glass-ceramic foam mechanical strength. Substituting 40% from the glass waste mass with clay waste, it was obtained a high compressive strength of 3.35 MPa, in conditions where the apparent density and the thermal conductivity had relative low values (0.78 g/ cm3 and 0.099 W/ m · K, respectively). Due to his physical, mechanical and morphological features, the foamed product is usable in construction as replacer of similar materials existing on the market.

Faculty, students and staff who contact the IT Express Service Desk for help with campus tech services now have helpful new ways to connect.
IT Express has:
- Added chat support.
- Redesigned and added new functions to its home website.
- Created a new knowledge base, which goes live Feb. 28. This online reference guide on how to use campus tech services has both new articles and the best of IT Express's current xbase knowledge base, which IT Express will retire sometime this year. The new knowledge base will be available at kb.ucdavis.edu.
- Changed its hours to 7 a.m.-6 p.m. on weekdays (except holidays), starting March 3. IT Express has been been open until 9 but receives very few calls after 6, so the new schedule lets IT Express assign more consultants to the busiest hours of the day. IT Express will still open for extended hours during peak times of the academic cycle.
- Created an ITX Facebook page.
- Begun to integrate support from IET student employees, who will field basic questions and service requests from students so that IT Express staff employees can provide more advanced services.
The changes better align the team's resources with campus requirements, based on Information and Education Technology's review of IT Express customer metrics. In 2013, IT Express logged more than 34,000 phone and email requests for help, plus 380,000 visits to its knowledge base.
IT Express recently earned HDI certification for customer service--a service industry benchmark that recognizes commitment to service excellence through use of best practices, enhanced skills and advanced knowledge.
These changes are part of a larger effort to improve IET customer service that extends beyond IT Express. "This is part of a significant plan to improve our support services to the campus," said IET Client Services Manager Ani ta Nichols. "We're not stopping here. There's more coming."
Please send comments or questions to IT Express at 530-754-HELP (4357) or email@example.com.

The Weary Blues: Langston Hughes/Jazz/The Harlem Renaissance
Harlem Renaissance Series
Please join NJMH Senior Scholar Loren Schoenberg and our distinguished co-host Professor Robert G. O'Meally as they explore the Harlem Renaissance, a magical flowering of creativity centered in and around Harlem during the 1920s. As a matter of fact, the great majority of artists associated with that movement did not welcome jazz, in fact, they shunned it. There were, however, a few members who not only loved jazz, but welcomed it with open arms.
This three-part series will explore the music that Duke Ellington wrote during those years, alongside the authors Langston Hughes, Zora Neal Hurston, and the few others who were ahead of their time in appreciating jazz's significance.
Robert G. O'Meally is the Zora Neale Hurston Professor of English and Comparative Literature at Columbia University, where he has served on the faculty for twenty-five years. The founder and director of Columbia's Center for Jazz Studies, O'Meally is the author of The Craft of Ralph Ellison, Lady Day: The Many Faces of Billie Holiday, The Jazz Singers, and Romare Bearden: A Black Odyssey.

Each season of the year presents new challenges for parents of babies. Whether it's researching ways to safely warm up your baby, making sure they're not too hot, winter-proofing their room, or learning how to bundle them up without going full-blown Randy from A Christmas Story, winter tends to present its own set of challenges.
Making sure you're warming up your baby properly can be more challenging than you'd expect. Especially because, according to Cambridge University Hospitals, babies are unable to effectively regulate their body temperature when they're young. This means it's extra important for parents to know the ways to safely adjust their baby's temperature without overdoing it, or not doing enough.
It usually doesn't take much to gently adjust their temperature — adding a new layer, raising the temperature a bit, or taking the time for a few extra snuggles can usually do the trick. In fact, making any drastic changes raises the chances of you accidentally overheating your baby, so it's best to make small changes until they're warm enough.
To a brand new parent, it may seem like an overwhelming amount of things to remember, but after a while, keeping them at a comfortable temperature will be second nature and there won't be any need to worry.
1. Add One Layer
For inside temperatures, Parenting suggested adding one more layer than you would need to stay warm. Your baby may not be the best at regulating their body temperature, but they don't need layer upon layer to stay warm — just a sweater or a warmer pair of pants and socks will do the trick.
2. Swaddle Them
According to Healthy Children, swaddling your baby in a light blanket or sleep sack is a safe way to keep your baby warm while they sleep without the use of blankets. As long as you swaddle them properly and they're sleeping on their back and not old enough to roll over on their own, swaddling is a great option.
3. Turn Up The Heat. . . A Little Bit
Baby Gooroo reported that the ideal temperature for babies' rooms is between 68 and 72 degrees, accoridng to the experts. So if you need to turn up the heat to meet this level, it will warm your baby right up.
4. Enjoy Skin-To-Skin Time
Skin-to-skin time is a safe, cozy way to bond with your baby, encourage a healthy breastfeeding relationship, and help them regulate their body temperature. According to Fit Pregnancy, skin-to-skin time is especially beneficial for newborns as it helps them adapt to life outside the womb, boosting their mental development, and keeping them extra warm.
5. Run A Warm Bath
According to Nationwide Childrens' Hospital, the best temperature for baby's bath is around 100 degrees. Testing the water with your elbow is a good way to make sure it's not too cold or too warm.
6. Give Them Hats And Mittens For Outside
If you're going on a chilly day excursion, it's a good idea to bundle up your baby in a coat, hat and mittens, and something that covers their toes, to make sure they're warm enough.
7. Wear Your Baby
Whether you're out and about or cozy in your home, wearing your baby is a great way to get some of the benefits of skin-to-skin time and be hands free. Obviously, your baby will need more layers than just the carrier, especially if you're outdoors, but it's a great way to add another layer without overdoing it.

Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature:
old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
2 Corinthians 5:17
In awe for the last decade, I have been given another new year to express the all-glorious presence and blessings of our Almighty God. Ten years ago, I was thinking how close I might be to leaving this planet to be with our Lord. Now in my eighth decade, I sense more and more my weakness and dependence on my Creator and Redeemer as He continues to prepare me for eternity with Him. It is a second childhood I heard about in my first childhood, but, oh so much more than I had imagined. And, I am loving it!
Learning to leave behind those things I thought were so precious years ago, I have been blessed for the Lord to reveal His kingdom…

Saudi Arabia may take further measures against Iran after cutting ties with its regional rival this week, the Saudi foreign minister said on Saturday, in a major row over the kingdom's execution of a Shia Muslim cleric.
Saudi Foreign Minister Adel al-Jubeir's comments came in a press conference after an extraordinary meeting of the foreign ministers of the (Persian) Gulf Cooperation Council, convened to discuss tensions with Iran after attacks on Saudi diplomatic missions there.
"We are looking at additional measures to be taken if it (Iran) continues with its current policies," Jubeir said, without elaborating on what these measures could be, Reuters reported. The crisis between Tehran and Riyadh started when Saudi Arabia executed dissident Shia cleric Sheikh Nimr al-Nimr on Jan. 2, triggering outrage among Shias across the Middle East. In Iran, protesters stormed the Saudi Embassy in Tehran, prompting Riyadh to sever relations. Tehran cut all commercial ties with Riyadh and banned pilgrims from traveling to Mecca.

We are unable to select groups other than "My groups" and even that is not showing us data. Getting error "No resource plan is associated with this entity".
Steps to Reproduce:
- Go to Resource Reports,
- Choose a Report, Choose Groups as Entity Type
- Next on Groups selection, Unable to choose anything other than My groups. Choose other standard values.
- Error with running the report.
"No resource plan is associated with this entity", No other resource groups are showing up.
pps_resource role is missing from all resource groups
The reason this is happening is a Resource Report Groups is controlled by the roles that are on the Groups which means the users assigned to these groups need the pps_resource role.
OOB, choosing My groups does not work too and gives the same error,The script that populates these choices it does not contain the pps_resource role.
The PPS Resource [pps_resource] role is introduced to differentiate PPS users from all other users in the system. Only users with the PPS Resource role are considered for resource planning, and only users or groups with the PPS Resource role appear in resource plans. By default, the PPS Resource role is added to the Project User [project_user] and Demand User [demand_user] roles.
None of the groups in resource groups have this role, it is needed to create a Resource Plan of Group Resource.
Adding Project User or Demand User Roles to the Users or Groups should solve the issue.

On June 14, 2016, Weil secured an important victory for the board of directors of lululemon athletica inc. in a stockholder derivative action alleging that the board failed to investigate alleged insider trading by Dennis J. Wilson, the founder and then chairman of the board of lululemon. Plaintiffs, lululemon stockholders, alleged that Mr. Wilson breached his fiduciary duties by selling a large block of lululemon stock shortly after learning about the resignation of Christine McCormick Day, lululemon's Chief Executive Officer, and that the board breached their fiduciary duties by failing to investigate or take any action against Mr. Wilson relating to the trade.
The Delaware Court of Chancery dismissed the claims, holding that plaintiffs were precluded from pursuing their derivative claims in Delaware because similar claims had already been dismissed by a federal court in New York in an earlier-filed derivative action on the ground that the New York plaintiffs failed to make a pre-suit demand or allege demand futility with the particularity required by Delaware law – an action Weil also won, both in the Southern District of New York and the Second Circuit Court of Appeals. The Court of Chancery rejected plaintiffs' argument that their pursuit of books and records under Section 220 of the Delaware General Corporation Law before commencing their derivative action entitled them to pursue a second derivative action asserting what the Delaware plaintiffs described as a better pleading of the claims dismissed in the first derivative action. The Court of Chancery stated that "it is certainly a better practice for stockholder plaintiffs to use 'the tools at hand'" provided for by Section 220 "to thoroughly investigate derivative claims before filing suit" but that the New York plaintiffs' "failure to do so … does not ... render them inadequate representatives" for preclusion purposes.
The decision – highlighted in a nationwide special alert by the Chancery Daily publication two hours after the decision was announced – stands for the important proposition that constitutional full faith and credit principles take precedence in our federalist system over state corporate governance law principles, a particularly significant result in light of the widely-publicized proliferation of multi-forum derivative litigation in recent years.
To read more about Weil's April 2015 victory for the directors of lululemon in the related action before the Second Circuit, please follow this link.
The Weil team included Securities Litigation practice co-head Joseph Allerhand, partner Stephen Radin and associate Thomas James.

And I Love You by Ruth Krauss & Steven Kellogg
A celebration of parental love, this book has verse that pairs large and small together in relationships. The big forests love little trees. Big seas love little shells. And my favorite: Big stories love little words to fly around in. Each large element is shown and then the page turns to reveal the other smaller element that matches it. Krauss' poem is lovely, gently showing the devotion of a parent in ways that are tangible and in relationships that children will understand. The book will work equally well for any adult with a child, whether it is a grandparent, aunt, uncle, or guardian.
Krauss' poem is very brief, just a few words per page. Her verse captures love in so few words that it is amazing, making it very accessible for young readers.
Kellogg's art has his signature style, but also an added dimension that is very interesting. His usual characters with their bright eyes are featured. On some of the pages, where appropriate, a texture has been added to the illustrations, sometimes organic like grass clippings and other times thicker paint that is built up for the background. His friendly characters are shown on these textured pages as well, creating a wonderful mixed media picture book.
The perfect book for a new baby gift or for adoptive parents, this book would also make a great board book too thanks to its few words and gentle spirit. Appropriate for ages 2-5.
Reviewed from copy received from Scholastic.

Eager to attract lakhs of tourists to Himachal with luxury modes of transport, the state government is neglecting those looking for luxury buses between the hill resorts of Himachal.
It is strange that thousands of tourists travel between Manali, Shimla, Dharamshala and Dalhousie every day, but there is no luxury bus service available between these routes. Tourists, including regular commuters, are forced to travel by ordinary or semi-deluxe buses that stop at domestic bus stops and take long time to cover small distances. Hiring a private taxi is the only option to reduce timing and avail luxury on local routes but the cheapest taxi for nearest hill resort comes for not less than Rs 4,000. The fastest bus service between Manali and Shimla takes minimum 8 hours to cover 265 km.
When Discover Kullu Manali tried to ascertain experience of travellers reaching Manali by deluxe buses from Shimla, everyone had bitter memories. A backpacker from England, Joshua, who was looking fully exhausted, said, "I inquired about luxury bus or Volvo to Manali at tourist information centre and government bus stop in Shimla, but it was the only bus which they said would be comfortable on this route. Locks of sliding glasses were not working and I spend a horrible night in cold. Bus was picking up domestic travellers. The stingy seats were uncomfortable to sleep."
Nilambari and Anmol, tourists from Gujarat, who had estimated it 4-5 hour-long journey between Shimla and Manali were upset when they reached here after 9 hours. "When hundreds of tourists travel between Manali and Shimla every day, then why government is not taking interest providing luxury service in this route. We cannot dare to travel in such buses again in future. Now we have decided to complete our onward journey only by car," they said.
Himachal roadways transport corporation (HRTC) vice chairman Rajiv Bhardwaj said a fleet of luxury buses is to be added to the corporation soon and they are planning to run luxury buses on Manali-Shimla, Shimla-Dharamshala routes. "We are collecting stats that how many tourists want luxury buses within tourist spots of Himachal. We are starting a luxury bus service between Pathankot and Manali," he said.
Himachal Pradesh tourism development corporation (HPTDC) officials said they do not have a route permit and they run their buses on contract permit depending on the number of tourists. Shimla marketing officer Prakash Thakur said, "HPTDC buses provide service to tourists in season time. However, if there is special demand of tourists, we can provide them a bus for special route any time. No regular Volvo or luxury bus service is available on routes within Himachal."

The baby boomer generation has always put a premium on youth and physical fitness. Working out to live longer and improve the quality of our life is the most important thing we can do as we move into our senior years.
If you're ready to get fit and well, there are some important things you need to know before you begin. Just follow these five tips for getting started on the right foot.
1. An important factor to consider when you start to exercise is the intensity level. You must make sure you're not getting in over your head. The reason why this is important is because we age differently and, through the years, you may have developed some physical challenges that may need to be taken into consideration before you start an exercise program. Shoulder, knee or lower back issues require a modified program that addresses these common physical challenges. If you don't adjust the level of intensity according to your physical abilities or limitations, then you run the risk of injuring yourself. Always seek the advice of your doctor before starting any fitness, diet or exercise program.
2. Another important consideration for getting fit and well now is finding the time to do it consistently. Carve out a block of time to exercise at least 30 minutes. You may find early morning workouts are best. Getting that exercise in before you start the day will prevent unexpected conflicts that occur throughout the day from hampering your routine. You will also find that an early-morning workout leaves you more energetic, with more peace of mind, and aids in weight loss.
3. You don't have to spend a lot of money to get fit and well. That's a common misconception that some people have about starting to get physically fit. You don't need to purchase a gym membership or expensive equipment to start getting fit. There are many easy ways you can work physical activity into your life. All you need to do is purchase a good pair of walking shoes, and make sure that you use them every day.
4. Instead of delaying your health and fitness efforts by seeking out a personal trainer and/or waiting until you can afford a gym or fitness center membership, why don't you purchase some good fitness videos or view YouTube and other online videos that cover your area of interest. Seek out reputable companies and/or certified personal trainers who have produced exercise videos that address your physical challenges and limitations. In fact, if you build a library of fitness videos or have a 24/7 resource for them, you'll find your workouts are motivating and fun!
5. Have you considered seeking out a workout partner? A spouse, your child, a neighbor, a co-worker, or a dog would be a great companion to keep you motivated and hold you accountable.
Getting fit and well is not hard nor is it an expensive thing to do. Seeking the advice of your doctor, carving out a block of time for yourself, purchasing a pair of good walking shoes, watching a good fitness video, and grabbing a workout partner are five things you can do to get started.
So, if you really want to get fit and well, follow these tips to add years to your life and improve the quality of your life . . . NOW!

- Major League Baseball fans have different brand and purchasing preferences depending on city, according to location data from Gravy Analytics shared with Mobile Marketer. The company used location data from mobile phones to study national baseball stadiums, the brands that sponsor them and their visitors during April 2018 to determine how well each sponsor chose their audience.
- Gravy found that visitors of Boston's Fenway Park are more likely to be frequent air travelers than visitors to any of the other stadiums studied, putting key sponsor JetBlue in front of many potential customers.
- Gravy also found that visitors to PNC Park in Pittsburgh are much more likely to visit PNC Bank than visitors to any other stadium. Similarly, visitors to New York Mets' Citi Field are far more likely to have recently visited a Citibank location, signaling that both brands' sponsorships are a good fit.
Gravy's analysis shows how brands can harness location data to target mobile marketing messages to specific audience groups with the goal of boosting ad effectiveness — that is if the sponsor understands the preferences of the target audience. Brand preferences of MLB fans suggest several opportunities to reinforce consumer loyalty, such as JetBlue's sponsorship of Fenway Park in Boston, where fans are more likely to be air travelers. This study points to the importance of marketing research in order to achieve the highest possible ROI.
Samuel Adams in 2016 replaced former sponsor Budweiser as the official beer of the Boston Red Sox through 2025, which could help Boston Beer Co., the brewer of Samuel Adams, reach more beer drinkers. As with spirits drinkers, beer drinkers are more likely to attend games at Coors Field, Wrigley Field and Fenway Park. Still, spirits brand Ketel One sponsored Dodger Stadium, while Jim Beam sponsors several different stadiums such as Yankee Stadium, New York's Citi Field and PNC Park in Pittsburgh, perhaps showing a misalignment between sponsorships and customer preferences.
This data reinforces the results of a recent study by data firm Factual that found that location data helps boost to campaign effectiveness. Marketers surveyed said location data helped grow their customer base, boost response rates and increase customer engagement. The data also gave marketers deeper knowledge of their customers' needs and interests, allowing for higher ROI for their marketing and ad campaigns and fewer wasted ad dollars. Using location data to personalize the customer experience is already widely adopted, with 82% of companies surveyed doing so and 85% planning to do so in the next 12 months, Factual said.
