Recap: Doctor Who S3 E6 "The Ark"
"Take them to the security kitchen!"The eponymous Ark is a giant spaceship carrying Earth's surviving human, plant and animal life in suspended animation en route to a new planet, Refusis II. A few human guardians and their one-eyed, mop-topped servants the Monoids take care of the ship, but when the travelers arrive a plague quickly spreads. Dodo has a cold, and the common cold was wiped out a long time ago and neither human nor Monoid has any resistance.The travellers are placed on trial for deliberately spreading the plague, but the Doctor manages to find a cure and they are allowed to leave......only to rematerialise on board the Ark as it nears the end of its voyage. Since the plague, the Monoids have grown stronger and it is the humans who are the slave race.Oops.The Monoids plan to colonise Refusis II themselves, but the invisible Refusian natives help the Doctor persuade both races to live in peace.Watch it here.
— Monoid One (spotting a shortcoming in the Ark's design — right next to the laundry brig)
Tropes include:
- Aliens Are Bastards: The Monoids, though it's strongly implied to be the humans' fault.
- The Ark
- Bad Liar: The Monoid who gives the whole game away to Dodo.Dodo: You'd better hurry up and get everyone down from the Ark. With all those people it's going to take awhile.Monoid: (chuckles) Don't worry, it might not take as long as you think!Dodo: What do you mean, are you up to something?Monoid: (glances nervously at the human slave behind him) N...n..no.
- Coconut Superpowers: The Refusians, being invisible, save money on rubber suits.
- Deadpan Snarker: At the end of episode 3, after the landing pod has been blown-up, and the Doctor and Dodo are trapped the surface, Dodo asks what they'll do if the Monoids decide to leave Refusis and find another world. The Doctor replies:Doctor: Well, in that case, we shall just have to stay here.
- Deus ex Machina: How the Refusians deal with a nuclear bomb.
- Earth That Was
- Enemy Civil War: The Monoids' violent disagreement on whether to colonise Refusis
- Exty Years from Now: In-universe. The Doctor and companions rematerialize exactly 700 years after they left.
- Generation Ships
- Halfway Plot Switch: Comes close to being two stories in the same setting.
- He Who Fights Monsters: After freeing themselves from humans, Monoids became worse than them.
- Human Popsicle
- Invisibility
- Made a Slave: The transition between the two slave races
- Monochrome Casting: All of the humans aboard the Ark appear to be white. "The Beast Below", with its multiple spaceships from different nations, may be an Author's Saving Throw attempt to remedy this.
- Monument of Humiliation and Defeat: When the Monoids take over they turn the inspirational statue into a depiction of a Monoid instead of a human.
- Relocating the Explosion
- The Revolution Will Not Be Civilised
- Slave Race: two of them
- Space Clothes: The Guardians (see above)
- Starship Luxurious
- We Will Have Perfect Health in the Future: Played straight and subverted. The Guardians have cured the common cold long ago. Unfortunately this means they have no resistance to it.
- We Will Use Manual Labor in the Future
- You Are Number Six: The Monoids after their revolt, seemingly voluntarily

Ashley Tisdale and Leah Remini Parody Toddlers & Tiaras
What happens when a child beauty queen refuses to give up her crown?
Ashley Tisdale and Leah Remini explore one tragic possibility in a new Funny or Die parody of the hit TLC show Toddlers & Tiaras.
PHOTOS: Celebrity Homecoming Queens
Twenty-two years after Makenzie (Tisdale) entered her first pageant, her mother Juana (Remini) admits that she's still competing in the 5 to 7-year-old group. "We know that she does shine in this particular group," she explains.
"She's been in 5,000 pageants and won 3,213 crowns," Juana adds. "It makes it all worth it."
The only problem Makenzie encounters while competing at age 25? "Some of the judges were concerned that Makenzie's outfits were too promiscuous," Juana says. "But when she was younger, they were cute. Please! Semantics."

Enjoy and satisfied ... got a place that we can bring our children play and rest ..... cant wait for next week cause have another dated wif my gf and her fmly there ..
I visited the Miri City Fan as part of city tour and I was quite amazed by the amount of events that happen there. Being an open park, one is free to practice their own interest there. I saw many groups of people doing different activities. A group of elders just sitting and having a picnic, a group of youngsters...
A lot of people do various activity in the evening. Nice place to walk around but not too big. Have a library & swimming pool nearby.
A very good place for a walk. Weekends are full with families and zumba at the centre. Library and swimming pool are just nearby.
At 1 ringit to enter, the olympic outdoor swimming pool is great to break up a hot and humid day. facilities are good, theres plenty of places to sit and the pool is clean. The chaing rooms are a bit Malaysian standard but its very cheap and convenient.
easy to find right near the park where on saturdays at 6...
We made a big effort to visit this park as it was right at the opposite end of Miri from where we were staying. It is a very nice park but was much smaller than we expected.
The scenery was okay. There are a lot of fitness enthusiast running and swimming. A lot of family walking and having picnics. The Koi pond was great.
Nothing much to see over at the park. Do not visit the park during day time, it is very hot! But not to visit at night as well, i doubt the safety of the area as it is quite dark at night. Try to be there around 5pm to 7 pm which you will see more people jogging and hanging...
I still remember the old Miri City Fan, it was very colourful, warm and unique in its own way. I like the way the divide the park according to the main races that live in Miri like Malay, Chinese, Melanau and Dayak. It's a symbol of harmony for the people of Miri. There was a musical fountain last time, which...

Mountain - Regular & Raspberry
While I was at the Fancy Food Show last month I saw that Brown & Haley (who make those Almond Rocas) had a large booth. It was devoted to the Rocas, which is natural for the crowd there. But their display case on one side caught my eye because it had a large pile of a Limited Edition Raspberry Mountain. (I hesitate to call them bars, as they fit into my category of "plops" instead.)
I looked around for a sample bin (but did eat a sample of the Candy Cane Roca while on my search), but when I couldn't find one, I asked and they happily handed over one!
It's not easy to find Brown Haley's Mountain line in Los Angeles. In fact, the regular Mountain (see below) was purchased at Dylan's Candy Bar in NYC (even further from its spawning grounds). But I know that many Northwesters are in love with their indigenous candy, so it's high time I covered it.
I have to admit that when the Raspberry Mountain came out of the package I had to giggle. It looks rather poop-like. However, it had the much more pleasant smell of raspberries and sugar. My first bite into it was all mockolate. It wasn't until the second that I reached the raspberry center. It's very berry, in fact one of the ingredients, after milk powder, is raspberries. There's a little tang to the filling and it's a rather smooth fondant type center that has a little gooey flow to it. The peanuts and mockolate weren't doing much for it, so I confined my bites towards the end to getting as much filling as possible (yes, eating it from the bottom and leaving the peak).
As the Mountain line goes, this bar is a winner. It's a flavor combo that you don't often see and is far and away more satisfying than the regular Mountain ... however, the classic Mountain has very little going for it.
Before I finish this up I should say a little bit about the classic bar. Since the Mountain is made with partially hydrogenated fats instead of cocoa butter for the chocolate, it really never achieves a chocolatey texture or taste. It's greasy and slightly slippery on the tongue as it melts. In the case of the classic bar, the center is simply a plain firm fondant (think of a flavorless York Peppermint Pattie). It is sweet though perhaps a little bland (but I enjoy that texture). The only thing that offsets the whole fakeness of it are the peanuts, which give it all a little crunch and texture.
There are two other versions of this bar, Peanut Butter (which I bought it was completely rancid and unworthy of even photographing) and Cherry (which we all know I'm not going to like). You can buy the Mountains via the Brown & Haley website (and at a really good price). As a regional bar with such a great history, I'd love to see them convert to real chocolate and really show us how good this combination can be.
Note: after this review I created a new category called "mockolate" so you can find all the fake goodies in one place.

Twix Triple Chocolate
I have to admit that I've never been terribly fond of Twix bars. I know that they fill an important niche in the confectionery pantheon: a cookie, some caramel and a chocolate enrobing. I did quite like them when they were first introduced in 1979 in the United States but found that other crunchy caramelly chocolate candies (like the 100,000 Dollar Bar) fit my desires a little better.
I even gave the Classic and Peanut Butter Twix another try recently.
I decided that the cookie is too sweet for me. I like the combination of textures and I rather like how "sandy" the cookie is, but it either needs a hit of salt in the cookie (like a shortbread) or in the caramel. The Peanut Butter Twix is a little closer to what I like, but even with the mellow peanut butter, it still ends up being too middle-of-the-road. I rather enjoyed the Dark Chocolate and think that was a great bar but really thought the White Chocolate was a move in the wrong direction.
Enter Mars' newest Limited Edition offering: Triple Chocolate. Yes, it's all chocolate all the time with this bar. A chocolate cookie with a stripe of chocolate caramel covered in milk chocolate.
For such a chocolatey bar it didn't smell much like chocolate. It smelled sweet and kind of like vanilla caramels. The bar as a whole has the familiar mix of textures with the crumbly/crunchy cookie bar, the soft and chewy caramel and then the smooth and sweet milk chocolate.
If it's got triple the chocolate, it's just not there for me. I wasn't getting much in the chocolate realm at all (maybe I'm still on my dark chocolate high from the Fancy Food Show) ... just sweet. So sweet my throat hurt.
I wish they'd wrapped it in dark chocolate.
Note: Mars is now using PGPR in their chocolate as well (Hershey's was the first company I noticed that changed their chocolate formulation). PGPR is an emulsifier like Soy Lecithin that's usually derived from Castor Beans. The emulsifier keeps the chocolate smooth and flowing for the manufacture process and also replaces some of the cocoa butter.

Reese's Big Cup with Caramel & Nuts
Another Limited Edition item from Reese's and again playing around with similar ingredients. This time they've taken the Big Cup with Nuts (which was also a limited edition item - review here) and added some caramel to the bottom of the cup.
I don't have a cross section of the actual cup because I kind of trashed it taking it out of the package and though it was certainly edible, it was not photogenic. So have a look at the Big Cup with Peanuts (click to get a pop up photo) and imagine a smidge of caramel at the bottom there.
The cup itself is nice and meaty, with lots of room to explore the nuts and peanut butter and a good balance of chocolate. The center is a bit salty which is good because the milk chocolate is a bit sweet and kind of greasy (I know that's the hazard with chocolate and peanut butter). The caramel blends in well, it has its own salty kick but it doesn't detract from the crunchy nuts or add too much sweetness. I'd prefer a chewier caramel like you find in a Snickers, but that's not Hershey's way.
I actually liked this one a bit better than the Reese's with Caramel, the caramel was distinctive and the roominess of the peanut butter/peanut stack let it all breathe.
Just to give you a sense, here are the previous Reese's reviews: Reese's Bites (soon to be discontinued), Reese's Cookies, FastBreak, Reese's Sticks, Nutrageous, Reese's Snack Barz, Reese's Pieces Peanut, Reese's Easter Eggs (two versions), Reese's Bars for those who don't like their candy in cups or shaped like trees, and of course the less-than-comprehensive Reese's Full Line, another Big Cup (with mixed nuts) and their new favorite child, the Reese's Crispy Crunchy Bar.

KitKat Mint Dark Chocolate Minis
Though I try to be on top of the Limited Edition candies and review them when they first come out, I totally dropped the ball on this one. The KitKat Mint Dark Chocolate Minis came out in time for Christmas, though they're not specifically packaged as a holiday item (other Hershey's holiday products had little snowflakes on the packages).
The good thing about them being a quasi-holiday item is that they came on sale after Christmas along with all the other holiday candy that may be fresh but sports a now dated red and green wrapper. According to the freshness code, these are good until July 2007!
(On a side note, I have not seen the Cookies 'n' Mint Nuggets again this year.)
Let me just start by saying that I liked these far better than the Mint KitKat that came out in the middle of last year. While that one was sickly sweet, this was minty and fresh tasting.
The little shape of these Minis is also fun. Instead of the usual two-fingered snack size, these are a little shorter and of course are only one finger. About the size of my pinkie, which is rather small as fingers go. Because of the small size I felt like there was more chocolate on these. But I also felt like the crispy wafers were really, really crispy. The minted chocolate is pretty smooth, a bit sweet and lacking a rich chocolatey experience, but generally in support of the cookie and mint elements.
I don't know if I'd buy these again since I'm getting a little tired of them since it was a 10.5 ounce package, but I found them to be far better than most of the other Limited Editions I've had in the past year or so.
There are lots of other reviews of these online cuz I am late to the party: SugarSavvy.net, SugarHog.net, News You Can Eat & Slashfood.

Whitman's Sampler Tin
This was a super-cute stocking stuffer that Santa gave me this year. I have to say that Whitman's has never been of much interest to me. Perhaps it's that I've found them a bit stale tasting. But it also might be the package, sure Whitman's Samplers are retro looking, but that not-so-fresh appearance may have been affecting my taste.
But without the regular packaging, I have to say these looked pretty good. The tin has a Tiffany blue background and gold printing. It's about the same size as a Sucrets lozenge tin, but a little deeper. Each piece of candy is nestled in a little perfect-shaped spot in the plastic tray.
The long milk chocolate rectangle was called Milk Chocolate Butter Cream, which was a kind of chewy sweet fudge. Very sweet, but a pleasant flavor combination.
The round dark chocolate piece was called Dark Chocolate Coconut and unsurprisingly had a coconut center like a Mounds bar. Fresh tasting and not too sweet, the real winner in the box.
The Messenger Boy was cute, with it's little cross-stitch look. It was a small tablet of milk chocolate. Sweet and unremarkable.
The last one was the Milk Chocolate Caramel which was just the right consistency. Easy to bite but chewy with nice long strands of caramelized sugar and butter. It could have used some more salt to balance the very sweet milk chocolate.
Do they beat See's (my touchstone for inexpensive boxed chocolates)? No, not even close. These were fresh tasting but a little too "middle of the road" for me. I wanted more zing, more flavor and less sweet. But I do love the tin.
I am curious to try their new Organic Sampler at some point.

SweetRiot: flavor 70 cinn
SweetRiot released a new flavor for the holidays to go with their current array of chocolate covered cacao nibs.
Flavor 70 Cinn is 70% cacao with a hint of cinnamon over cacao nibs. The last time I tried SweetRiot I gravitated towards the darkest as well.
The light hit of cinnamon was more evident in the scent than in the taste. There's a little spicy kick on the tongue at the start, but basically it's a rich roasty chocolate taste with a solid acidic hit and a mellow bitterness. The nibs themselves were crunchy and not the slightest bit fibery (which is a pet peeve of mine when it comes to nibs).
I covered SweetRiot and nibs pretty well in this review back in the spring, so check that out.
Each SweetRiot tin comes with a little geography "fortune" and mine went like this:
SweetRiot also has a "riot club" where you can select from two different delivery plans so you can get your cacao nib fix regularly (and at a better price). They also have their sets that bring the price down when you buy a mix of three. Ordering a whole box of 12 of course brings the tins down to $4 a piece. Still, not to sound like a broken record, it'd be nice to buy a quarter pound or half pound on the website and be able to refill my little tin myself.
The little tins change throughout the year, with new artwork featured periodically. If you're interested in having your art considered, check out this page.

Regennas Clear Toys
My sister sent me a wonderful Christmas gift, which I opened early. It was an assortment of Clear Candy from Regennas in Pennsylvania. They were adorable little red, green and yellow hard candies in different toy shapes.
My assortment did not disappoint. I was a little sad that four of them were broken beyond practical use. The group of twenty included a few duplicates and unfortunately one of the uniques, a red steamboat, was among the broken. Other shapes included a nursing cow, chicken, duck, elephant, rhinoceros, cow, tin soldier, dog, cat (with a broken ear, just like my mother's real cat!), pig, locomotive, a wolf and finally the most enigmatic of them, an angel on a lion. All the toys are three dimensional (some, like the locomotive are kind of flat, but shaped on both sides) unlike other more common lollipops which are shaped only on one side. They all have a little base and can stand up, it might be fun to have a chess set made out of these (well, not if you live in a humid climate).
My favorite has to be the least toy-like of all of them, the wonderful green alligator (or maybe it's a croc, it's hard to tell).
If there's anything bad about these, it's that they're so dense that it's hard to break the more solid and prickly ones in order to eat them. The toy shapes don't really lend themselves to sucking whole unless you're keen on making lots of noises (I guess that's why the lollipop versions are so popular).
The taste is like cotton candy or sunshine or love ... one of those, or maybe they're all the same. They're smooth, with few if any voids, delicate and soft on the tongue as they melt ever-so-slowly. All the colors are the same mellow sugar flavor. They are absolutely the best barley sugar candies I've had in my adult life. Some places flavor them, I like the plain sugar flavor best.
The only real detraction for me with these was the slight metallic flavor when you first start eating them. My guess is it's either the mold or the light oil coating they have to keep them from sticking. I didn't notice it on all of them, but when Amy also mentioned it, at least I knew I wasn't imagining it. The other bad thing, of course, is that they're so freakishly hard to find.
It's sad that barley sugar candies aren't made much any longer. I know they're not as flashy as some of the new themed candies, and I understand the labor involved in these and the craftsmanship involved with the original molds is substantial. Regennas, in its fourth generation, only makes sweets for Christmas and Valentine's Day and they're all done for this year.
There's another barley sugar candy company that I know of by Melville's (you can order them here) which has an annoying site that plays music you can't turn off. They have a huge variety of pops (including the excellent honey spoons).
More photos of the whole assortment here.
Meticulously photographed and documented reviews of candy from around the world. And the occasional other sweet adventures. Open your mouth, expand your mind.

Several NBA scouts and GMs will get a live look at the action to see if they can find some new international talent. Which future NBA players will make their name known this weekend? Which former NBA players will shine with the pressure on? Here is a guide for the casual NBA fan on what to watch for in NBATV's broadcast of the
Maccabi Tel-Aviv defeats Real Madrid in Euroleague Championship rematch
In a rematch of last season's Euroleague Championship, Maccabi Tel-Aviv narrowly edged out previously undefeated Real Madrid 90-86 for an important Top 16 victory on Thursday night. Greek center Sofoklis Schortsanitis (known as Sofo in Europe), stood out for Maccabi Tel-Aviv, scoring 11 of his 17 points in the opening period, and drawing eight fouls to go along with his eight rebounds. Former Memphis Grizzlies guard Jeremy Pargo also put in a strong performance for the winning side, going for 11
Eurohoops: Teodosic sets assists record, Eurostash prospects shine
The Euroleague, European basketball's top level of competition, just finished the first half of the 4th round of the Top 16 round. With some of Europe's top teams taking the floor, we take a look at some of the top performers around the league through Thursday night in this week's Eurohoops update. [Read more…]
Eurohoops: 2015 Draft Prospects from Serbia, Luka Mitrovic and Nikola Milutinov
Last season, the Adriatic League produced some of the top talents in the NBA draft, with Dario Saric, Jusuf Nurkic, Bogdan Bogdanovic going in the first round, and Nikola Jokic, Vasilije Micic and Nemanja Dangubic being selected in the second round. While we likely will not see six more NBA draft picks this season from the Adriatic League, there is little doubt that with the rich basketball tradition in the former Yugoslavian countries, it is no surprise that again young talent
EuroHoops: Former NBA 1st Round Picks Thriving in Europe
Which former first-round picks are trying to earn their way back to the NBA via Europe? Gone are the days where being a first-round pick nearly guarantees at least a four-year NBA career, with several opportunities to produce before teams give up on you. With the new CBA, teams are cutting costs from every possible angle, and with many options for minimum salary players from the D-League and overseas developing, more and more first-round picks are finding themselves on the outside
Eurohoops: Top 2015 Draft prospects, Mario Herzonja and Aleksandar Vezenkov
This past week, the first stage of the major European competitions, the Euroleague, Eurocup and Eurochallenge group stages, came to a close. The final week of the Euroleague finished with a bang, with Unics Kazan failing to reach the top 16 despite having a high-budget roster featuring Keith Langford, after being upset by fellow Russian squad Nizhny Novgorod, who were playing without their star guard Taylor Rochestie. Although most of the European basketball community may be focusing on Europe's top competitions, NBA

Information Governance – It's a Jungle Out There!
Building information governance (IG) protocols from scratch can feel like getting lost in a jungle. Often it is difficult to know which direction to go to get started on your journey, especially with a thick forest of documents standing in your way. But orienting yourself in the IG jungle is essential to avoid the possibility of leopards attacking you, birds swooping down on you, or those sneaky critters that might come back to bite you. Luckily, we've created a handy IG Guide to help you navigate through the underbrush and into the clear!
The guide includes critical information on IG, such as how to amplify the value of enterprise information, manage data and control ediscovery, as well as how to reduce data governance risks and costs. Also included is a look into how a hypothetical company, Healthy Nuts, found their way through the IG jungle. Find out more about their story and information governance here.
#throwbackthursday: Don't Get Burned by Legal Wildfires
Happy Autumn! As the leaves start changing color and the infusion of pumpkin-flavored food dominates our culinary palates, let's take a moment to look back to the days of Spring, with blooming flowers, baby birds, and…wildfires?!
Back in April, Kroll Ontrack launched a red-hot Legal Hold Guide that explored the importance of document preservation in litigation and regulatory matters. With data volumes on the rise, organizations need to have an effective legal hold plan in place to avoid being burned with spoliation sanctions.
Take the time to reminisce, but don't get too comfortable. Be on the lookout next week for an exciting new Information Governance guide that promises to be wild…

A Light in the Dark: Protecting PII in Ediscovery
65% of ediscovery projects contain at least one document with the XXX-XX-XXXX number format. Accidentally disclosing Personally Identifiable Information (PII) could lead to a messy discovery process and costly penalties. Do you know how to best protect PII in ediscovery? Check out this new PII infographic to learn more.
What is PII?
Personally Identifiable Information (PII) is any information about an individual maintained by an organization that can distinguish, trace or link to that individual. This can include anything as benign as a person's full name to confidential medical, educational, financial and employment information or a social security number.
What's at Risk in Ediscovery?
While the threat of identity theft looms over individuals who fail to safeguard their personal information, litigation teams are in a unique position. They must be the safeguard that ensures opposing counsel doesn't accidentally receive confidential medical records, social security numbers or other PII during the discovery process. In a perfect scenario, all PII would be redacted prior to production, but with exponentially increasing volumes of data, PII becomes increasingly at risk of being unintentionally compromised in litigation. If an inadvertent disclosure occurs, a legal team may face sanctions.
Assisted Redaction: A Sophisticated Solution
At a basic level, the manual redaction process completely removes targeted content from an electronic document, making it irretrievable and unavailable for view, print, search or copy. Building beyond manual redaction, ediscovery platforms can utilize an automated approach to identifying, verifying and applying user-defined redactions to maximize efficiency in a process known as "assisted redaction." The assisted redaction application, featured in Kroll Ontrack's Relativity offering, provides users with full control to review, approve or reject each applied redaction across an entire data collection workspace or subset of data. Assisted redaction streamlines the manual redaction process, reducing the risk of inadvertent disclosure while allowing counsel to quickly and correctly apply user-defined redactions throughout the data.
A Light in the Dark
The ediscovery process may put PII at risk when not carefully managed, but much of that risk can be alleviated when paired with a strong legal team and savvy technology. Shine some light on PII protection in ediscovery before watching Kroll Ontrack's new video to learn more about assisted redaction and other new capabilities within Kroll Ontrack's Relativity offering.

Ediscovery Competency Standard Addressed by California Bar
"Electronic document creation and/or storage, and electronic communications, have become commonplace in modern life…attorneys who handle litigation may not ignore the requirements and obligations of electronic discovery. A lack of technological knowledge in handling ediscovery may render an attorney ethically incompetent to handle certain litigation matters involving ediscovery, absent curative assistance."
New California Ethics Opinion
With those words, earlier this summer the California State Bar officially addressed the ethical duties of counsel during ediscovery, and finally established competency standards for counsel in the Golden State. Although the opinion is advisory and non-binding upon courts, the opinion provides a much needed support structure in a field that has historically been faced with varied interpretations; it further serves as a major triumph for ediscovery gurus that have been pushing for a core standard for ediscovery.
Set within the parameters of a hypothetical bar exam question, the committee of the state bar's opinion went on to discuss the 9 defined skills that attorneys should be able to perform in ediscovery (either "by themselves or in association with competent co-counsel"):
- Initially assess ediscovery needs and issues, if any;
- Implement/cause to implement appropriate ESI preservation procedures;
- Analyze and understand a client's ESI systems and storage;
- Advise the client on available options for collection and preservation of ESI;
- Identify custodians of potentially relevant ESI;
- Engage in competent and meaningful meet and confer with opposing counsel concerning an ediscovery plan;
- Perform data searches;
- Collect responsive ESI in a manner that preserves the integrity of that ESI;
- Produce responsive non-privileged ESI in a recognized and appropriate manner.
Expand your knowledge and expertise
Ultimately, this opinion reiterates that attorneys' obligations evolve as new technologies develop and become integrated with the practice of law. To make sure you are staying up to speed, let us share our expertise with you.

Choose Your Own Adventure: Mastering Information Governance in the Workplace
Choice A or Choice B? Choice C or Choice D? There's nothing quite like the mystery and thrill of the Choose Your Own Adventure (CYOA) novel, where the reader gets to direct and navigate the story of their choice.
Similarly, when it comes to Information Governance (IG) programs, corporate counsel and the IG team get to create their own old school CYOA storyline by defining the processes and implementation of the multi-disciplinary structures, policies and programs necessary to control and organize data. Kroll Ontrack's Tom Barce recently wrote an article, Information Governance: Be Prepared for a Data Disaster, discussing the importance of IG programs and what corporations should be aware of in regards to what an IG program can do.
To showcase the advantages of IG programs, let's consider the following scenario for Health Nuts (HN), a large (fictional) multi-national company in the nutritional supplements industry:
The company has hundreds of employees and millions of records containing private and personal data. Over the past decade, the company has grown rapidly through acquisition. HN recently expanded into Brazil, however, very little has been done to integrate the various data management policies and procedures from the newly acquired companies. Some divisions of HN are highly technical, with employees leveraging modern communication devices and forums, as well as using personal devices for work communications.
Do you:
Choice A: continue as is and allow various data management policies to continue
Choice B: re-evaluate the complexities and dangers of rapid growth and insufficient data policies and consider incorporating an IG program
For inside counsel and IG teams, the above hypothetical should raise blaring issues of security, management and data protection. Unfortunately, with corporations now fully entrenched in the digital age, counsel are playing a catch-up game with how fast data is created and where the data goes, and many do not recognize the need for a robust IG program. When utilized properly, IG programs can control a corporation's data and maximize its value, but only if the information at hand is under control. So what happens if the information is not under control and a corporation chooses Choice A? Let's return to aforementioned Heath Nuts Corporation:
The nature of the organization's data management and decentralized IT systems left it ripe for attack. Three months ago, the company suffered a data breach and is still trying to determine the scope of the attack across its divisions. Due to this, customers have experienced identity theft and fraud. Compounded with the fact that state and federal agencies are investigating the nature of the breach, a lawsuit is clearly imminent.
Do you:
Choice C: Await litigation
Choice D: Go back to the initial set-up and implement an IG program
For Health Nuts and for most corporations, the above situation is not too far from the norm if corporations choose Choice A over Choice B. Fortunately, steps can be taken to mitigate this hair-raising data disaster by choosing Choice D and following these initial steps:
Be Aware of Your Data and Know How to Leverage People, Processes and Technology
Before making any decisions about a company's data, counsel needs to understand what, and where, data is stored and what the current policies regarding data retention and destruction are. Counsel needs to be especially concerned with the nature, location, security and maintenance of personally identifiable information (PII) as well as "dark data," or data that is created, processed, and stored in the regular course of business and is not currently in use. Once a corporation's data is located and secured, the next step would be to leverage current employees in the IT and Information Security departments to ensure the appropriate emphasis is placed on training them and the organization-at-large about the policies and definitions of the IG program. In addition, data categorization, auto-classification, and predictive coding solutions may be utilized as part of your IG strategy to reduce costs while organizing data for future use. Furthermore, counsel must consider data that has been placed on legal hold and held in a legal hold repository. This data and the associated obligations are the burdensome, but necessary, exceptions to effective IG that can lead so many corporations to complacency.
De-Cluttering Company Data…
The success of IG programs depends on a number of factors, including the increased business utility of the data under management, storage savings, impact on ediscovery and company productivity. In today's modern age, data tends to accumulate exponentially. To prevent the hoarding of extraneous data, corporations must learn to dispose of unnecessary information and learn to sift through the types of data that will have a great effect on protecting company, employee and consumer data while streamlining ediscovery responses by eliminating irrelevant documents. In addition, de-cluttering company data can increase the value and efficiency of an IG program, thus allowing for more effective analytics.
…But Keeping the Necessary Documentation
Through the process of streamlining the IG program, organizations must ensure that they effectively document their processes. This includes clarifying IG program goals, definitions, policies and procedures, as well as employee training, enforcement actions, audit practices and program evaluations. Corporations should document these processes in anticipation of dealing with legal or regulatory actions, as well as help in the overall evaluation of the IG program. Successful documentation can lead to increased visibility and better opportunities for corporations to address and fix problems.
If corporations wish to avoid a data disaster, the choice is clear. By utilizing an effective IG program to locate, secure, and document their information retention and destruction processes, corporations may avoid or, at a minimum, mitigate the risks and damages that result from data breaches and/or regulatory and litigation events.

Schoolhouse Blues: Ediscovery Courses in Law Schools
With August comes languid heatwaves, leisurely days outdoors and (for many) the looming dread of heading back to school. For students everywhere – and perhaps especially law students – the start of a new semester brings new challenges, lessons and discoveries.
One thing that is slow to change though is the dearth of ediscovery courses in law schools around the nation. Kroll Ontrack's previous analysis of law school websites showed that less than 40% of law schools offer a course in ediscovery. Of those schools, only a fraction offer courses with any practical ediscovery lawyering skills.
My Kroll Ontrack colleague, Michele Lange, recently partnered with noted ediscovery educator, William Hamilton, to publish an article, Law Schools Lag in Teaching Ediscovery, which delves into this deficit.
Both Hamilton and Lange found the limited access and resources for adjuncts qualified in the ediscovery field to be a likely cause for why there are so few courses in ediscovery. Indeed, many universities lack tenured professors that are comfortable and skilled in the constantly evolving ediscovery field, while the adjunct professors that do teach ediscovery lack the time and resources to properly educate and grade student coursework. To remedy this, Hamilton and Lange suggested two major changes that law schools should undertake to alleviate the course shortages.
Create a dynamic relationship between students and ediscovery professionals
The first step law schools need to take is to stress the mandatory need for a robust ediscovery module in their basic civil procedure course, as these courses are especially important for litigation-tracked students. By inviting ediscovery professionals from law firms, corporations, technology providers and the government, law schools can help foster an environment of communication and understanding about the importance of ediscovery and the career opportunities ediscovery presents to students. In addition, these partnerships have the potential to create cadres of adjuncts that will develop courses together, share instructional design responsibilities and alternate teaching both elementary and advanced courses. By laying down the groundwork for success, these partnerships between students and professionals will create a new breed of lawyers who are ready to tackle modern ediscovery litigation issues straight out of law school.
Promote the value of an ediscovery education
The laws of supply and demand in economics apply to ediscovery courses as well. This means that merely providing ediscovery coursework is not enough. For ediscovery courses to become a mainstay in law schools, students need to understand and embrace the value of an ediscovery education.
The hurdle that schools need to overcome is this misguided belief that an education in ediscovery is "too techie" or that it falls under the heading of "litigation support," rather than "real lawyering." In reality, an ediscovery education opens the door to a variety of career options. Firms and corporations need litigators who can rapidly assess risk and exposure and who possess real life skills to manage cases and control costs. Those who are knowledgeable about ediscovery and know how to cut costs by using different platforms will have an edge over other young lawyers who first explore the ediscovery field upon arrival at a firm. By offering ediscovery courses and enlightening students to the need for such courses, law schools will help train and provide students with valuable, real life skills that they can bring to the workplace.
The historical model that taught aspiring young lawyers that a law school's purpose was to teach them how to "think like a lawyer" is no longer applicable today. For the next generation of lawyers to succeed, they must begin their education in ediscovery in the classroom, not in practice at a firm. For a more in-depth analysis, check out the article, Law Schools Lag in Teaching Ediscovery.
A specialized field such as ediscovery in antitrust matters requires an equally specialized and expertly trained team. Here at Kroll Ontrack, we are fortunate enough to have some of the most seasoned and knowledgeable consultants, including professionals with direct work experience with antitrust agencies and private merger and acquisition practices. When you can't second guess a second request, you need to know one of Kroll Ontrack's very own antitrust experts, Adam Strayer.
Q: Tell us about your background and what led you to becoming an ediscovery expert that focuses on antitrust matters.
A: Before working as an ediscovery consultant, I was an attorney at the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), where I reviewed proposed mergers and investigated anticompetitive conduct. While there, I drafted and negotiated a number of second requests and gained valuable insight into federal agency document requests. That was a great foundation for what I am doing today—helping Kroll Ontrack's clients develop strategies for responding to similar requests. I've also worked on the private practice side, defending companies in antitrust investigations and helping them respond to second requests and similarly large data requests in commercial litigation. After these roles, I moved into the ediscovery service provider world, where I worked on the managed review side—designing workflows, driving strategy timelines and responses, and meeting production deadline goals.
Q: What types of services do ediscovery consultants provide to law firms and corporations involved in a second request?
A: Kroll Ontrack leverages a proven, defensible process for handling second requests from inception through completion. This process involves dedicated team resources with specialized expertise to handle the sheer complexity and tight timeframes associated with second requests. The team provides 24/7 support for your case, including onsite project scoping, planning and kickoff and daily status calls and briefings. In addition, an ediscovery consultant is skilled at honing the technology platform specifically for the needs of a second request review – from setting up the workflow and category tree to leveraging predictive coding. Our goal is to provide efficient, accurate and defensible ediscovery for deadline-driven second requests.
Q: Can you give us an example of a recent second request that Kroll Ontrack helped with?
A: Kroll Ontrack works on dozens of antitrust matters each year. For example, in 2014 alone, Kroll Ontrack produced over 20 million pages of documents involved in second request matters. Furthermore, many of these antitrust matters involve global competition bureaus or merging companies outside of the United States. In one recent case, two device companies looking to merge were issued a second request by the FTC. Kroll Ontrack's ediscovery.com platform, predictive coding technology and document reviewers aided the merging companies in completing the FTC production in less than two months, taking 2.5 terabytes of data down to about 500,000 documents.
Q: Since we're getting to know your work, it would be great to get to know a little about you. What is your ideal day outside of the office?
A: I live in Brooklyn Heights, just across the Brooklyn Bridge from Manhattan, but I really like to escape from the city as often as possible. This summer, I have spent a lot of time hiking in upstate New York and in Michigan's Upper Peninsula.
Thank you Adam for sitting down with us and giving us some great insight into the world of ediscovery consulting in antitrust matters.

Have to agree with most of these: Oceans 12 - Julia Roberts playing someone faking she is Julia Roberts??? Who thought this was a good idea? The Sting 2 was a travesty of epic proportions. Smokey and the Bandit 3 - Without Burt Reynolds?? Isn't it called Smokey and the Bandit? Unbelievable. Romancing the Stone - Jewel of the Nile - Didn't get it. Terminator - T3 - It just wasn't that good. Good effects but the story was kind of lame and it lacked the Cameron heart. Batman - Batman and Robin - Just bad. Die Hard - Die Hard 2 - Planes with no fuel explode into huge fireballs. Even too much for my rather generous suspension of disbelief. I am sure there are many many more...

Caddyshack 2- Won't even see it Any Meatball sequel Slap Shot 2 Batman & Robin
Bring back John Doe! Or at least resolve the cliff-hanger with a 2hr movie or as an extra on a dvd release.

Definitely a strong contender for Worst Movie of All Time, let alone Worst Sequel of All Time. Superman -- Superman IV: The Quest for Peace Mortal Kombat -- Mortal Kombat: Annihilation Jaws -- Jaws: The Revenge Teen Wolf -- Teen Wolf Too Usually if the director and half of the actors from the first film DO NOT return for the sequel, you know somethig is wrong.

I'd have to go for: Alien - Alien: Resurrection (Alien3 redeemed itself with the 145m 'Assembly Cut') Batman - Batman & Robin First Blood - Rambo III Star Trek: The Motion Picture (Director's Cut) - Star Trek V: The Final Frontier Superman: The Movie - Superman IV: The Quuest for Peace (Although the alleged 130m original showing was better the rumours say?) Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope -- Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace There are others though I'm sure since I do own alot of sequels on DVD.

To me, the worst offenders among sequels are the ones where they say "the first one worked, let's make this one bigger with more stars and more explosions and it'll make even more money" but someone forgets to write the story. Yes, I know it's hard to write a sequel because we already know so much about the characters and developing them further is difficult, but that's what makes good sequels really stand out. Perhaps what really gets me is that a bad sequel somehow also drags down the good memories about the original, when with a little thought it often could have been better. Against that backdrop here's my "who forgot to bring the story" list: Matrix Reloaded and Revolutions Batman Forever, Batman & Robin Terminator 2 and 3 Oceans 12 Blade 3 Rocky 5 and no doubt the upcoming Rocky 6 Another 48 Hours Beverly Hills Cop 2 and 3 Lethal Weapon 4 American Pie 2 and 3

There's even going to be an Ocean's 13. Apparently Soderbergh makes these films to finance his more 'auteur' works. From what I gather, he dislikes the sequel as much as we do (he certainly directed the film as if he couldn't give a toss). Which probably means we'll be seeing an Ocean's 46.

Yeah....and one man with a handgun taking on a small army of well armed, specially trained mercenaries is believable? It's a popcorn movie....and a rather good one IMHO.
A couple of the other selections here are truly mind-boggling.....Terminator 2 (I liked 3 as well), Rambo, Jewel Of The Nile?
You want BAD?.....try Exorcist II. I've seen it once on TV and never, ever want to lay eyes on that piece of crap again as long as I live.

David - I included Terminator 2 because I think the story didn't work. That movie was great to show off the cgi fx, which were new at the time, but that story was horrible and was not consistent with what they told us in the original. E.g., Reese: "The machines were desperate. We'd won. We smashed the time displacement equipment. No one else comes through. No one goes home." Now, we're supposed to believe a more advanced T1000 existed at that time, as well as an Arnold model that was captured and reprogrammed? I just never bought it. Whenever I watched it, all I could think about was that Arnold insisted that he be allowed to play a good guy to help his political aspirations.

Close Tweet0 Share0 Comment0 Share0 Share0 Stumble It0 Print0 More SI Wire Female will compete at NFL regional combine for first time by Scooby Axson Email Posted: Wed Feb. 20, 2013 The NFL holds a regional scouting combine giving players who would normally not get a chance to showcase their talents a platform to get noticed by scouts.This year, 10 cities are holding regional combines and those players with the best skills will go to a super-regional in Dallas in April. The NFL has held the regional combines since 2011.A female player will compete for the first time when the New Jersey regional is held in March. New York City resident Lauren Silberman, 28, will participate as a kicker."I was not aware that I was the first female registrant," Silberman said to NFL.com. "I was actually hoping that the 2012 historical milestone rule, to allow women to play, would prompt more women to attend tryouts this year. But for me, what's important is to finally have a chance to fulfill my dreams by trying out to play in the world's most competitive football league."It is not at all far-fetched that a player from the regional combine will make it to the NFL. Chicago Bears cornerback Isaiah Frey, Detroit Lions cornerback Jonte Green, Oakland Raiders defensive lineman Christo Bilukidi, and St. Louis Rams kicker Greg Zuerlein all attended a regional combine and were drafted in the sixth round last year.

Trump Supporter: Obama is a Muslim [VIDEO]
Whether you support Trump or not, you have to admit that if any other presidential candidate said half of the things we've heard from Trump, their political career would be over.
Whether you support Trump or not, you have to admit that if any other presidential candidate said half of the things we've heard from Trump, their political career would be over.
The Big Mitten Fair and Festival has been described as a mix between NASCAR and a state fair. And nothing screams fun more than a visit from Donald Trump.
Just when you think Donald Trump is taking a break, he comes back with a vengeance!
Before Trump's stop at The Birch Run Expo Center tonight, will The Don try a Flint-Style Coney? Will he eat it with a fork? Does he consider a Coney a sandwich?
If you love insults, you must love Donald Trump, right? He's known for his recent run for the Republican presidential nomination, Twitter rantings, and making Sen. Lindsey Graham's digits public. But, what everyone loves about this man is his crazy insults that he dispenses daily to anyone or anything.
It should come as no surprise that Neil Young didn't like Donald Trump using his song 'Rockin In The Free World' to announce his candidacy for president earlier this week issuing statements on his Facebook page and through his management company. "Donald Trump was not authorized to use 'Rockin' In The Free World' in his presidential candidacy announcement. Neil Young, a Canadian citizen, is a supporter of Bernie Sanders for President of the United States of America" says Neil's management company.
Over the years, Donald Trump has claimed to be an authority on business and politics. Now? He thinks he's a medical expert, too — and actual doctors are not amused.
Donald Trump is welcoming Gary Busey, Meat Loaf, La Toya Jackson, TV personality Star Jones, "Real Housewives of Atlanta" star NeNe Leakes, soap actress Lisa Rinna, supermodel Niki Taylor, rapper Lil Jon, country singer John Rich, model Hope Dworaczyk, rock singer Mark McGrath, one-time teen idol David Cassidy, Survivor winner Richard Hatch, actress Marlee Matlin, singer Dionne Warwick and retired Major Leaguer Jose Canseco will be those competing in the upcoming version of "Celebrity Apprentice...

Eva Longoria Parker won't take sides in the legal spat between Nicollette Sheridan and Marc Cherry, but she will say this: that the Desperate Housewives set is a healthy work environment.
"The only thing I can say is we don't have a hostile set, and Marc's really nice, and Nicollette's a nice girl, too," Longoria Parker says in an interview set to air Monday on The Ellen DeGeneres Show.
Sheridan, 46, who played Edie Britt on the show, filed court papers this week saying she was fired after complaining that Cherry, the show's creator, had hit her in the face on set.

Although i am above some school minimums(barely), I would like to apply to some that have higher GRE minimums. My question: Is there anyone out there, that has applied to a school with lower GRE scores than the schools minimum, and still got accepted? I may try to take the GRE again but i have work, classes, volunteer hours, and applications to occupy my time, so it will be tight.

Great patisseries near main square and pleasant spot from the hustle and bustle around. Good coffees and teas accompany the Moroccan or French cakes.
This is a patiserrie with a tea room attached. The tea room area is a little dark and depressing and the cakes were fairly average. If you are passing and feel like some refreshment it is ok but not worth a special visit. There are plenty of places with lovely roof top terraces which are nicer.
the cakes were covered in flies!!! We could not face eating there and walked straight out. We were planning on ordering a birthday cake for my friend but even though these were stored in glass cabinets with no flies we just didn't want to risk it.
After dinner in the main square a pastry at this shop right off the the square is a must for those with a sweet tooth. I had an almond pastry that was delicious and if I could have I would have gone back the following night to try something else.
No matter where our walks took us we always seemed to be conveniently returning to this establishment. A perfect place for a light lunch, tea and cake away from the hustle and bustle outside. Although we did not try one, their ice creams seem to be the first choice of the locals. The downstairs salon was our preferred choice, as we were able to point to our choice with the waiter in tow. The waiting staff were "old school" efficient.

Audiko Ringtones Manager
editor's review
Audiko Ringtones Manager is a straightforward and reliable application especially designed for iPhone, iPod and iPad users who need to transfer their favorite ringtones from PC to their mobile device, without accessing iTunes.
iTunes is also getting in the way when you want to manage your ringtones, so importing and exporting is not the most straightforward experience. iTunes requires certain steps to be made, specific playlists to be created or updated and then synced, and all the fun can go away until you can decide which ringtone sounds better.
And of course, when iTunes is on and your phone is connected to the desktop PC or laptop, the Apple software is extremely eager to take control of your music listening habits.
In case you are kind of fed up with iTunes, then maybe you should use Audiko Ringtones Manager, as this program will not use the Apple utility as an intermediary app of allowing you to access your audio files.
The main window is very simple and intuitive, so even less experienced users will know what to do. First off, you are required to connect your iPhone device to your computer and after the phone is properly installed (in case it is the first time you connect your phone to the PC), you can easily upload as many ringtones as you want, then transfer them to your computer.
One very handy way to improve this software popped up during our tests: a 'Select' or 'Check All' button would make things extremely easy. Once the ringtones are uploaded in the program´s main window, this option would make selecting and transferring them much easier. Such an option is also very easy to implement and it would boost the ease of use and overall convenience of the Audiko Ringtones Manager.
Considering all of the above, Audiko Ringtones Manager proves to be a steady and intuitive program when it comes to accessing ringtones on your iPhone and transferring them to any computer, without making use of iTunes.
