Karis Lynn at 7 Years
Oh I cannot believe my first baby is 7 years old!
Karis Lynn is a sweet, thoughtful, helpful, smart young lady. We are so proud of the godly young woman she is becoming!
Karis is obsessed with kittens and desperately wants one of her very own. She daily tells me all the things she would do with her own kitten and how she would take care of it.
She also loves to read and if she has a book in her hands, I can be sure that she does not hear a word I say! If we all of a sudden notice that we haven't seen Karis in a while, we can be certain that she is curled up somewhere reading a book. She also likes to read while going to the bathroom (because it is quiet in there away from her sisters) so if we are in a hurry I have to make sure that she did not take a book with her or she will stay in the bathroom forever. I am very excited, however, of her love for books! She loves American girl books, Little House on the Prairie books, and fairytale stories most of all.
Karis is very excited about any kind of artwork and if she is not reading, I can usually find her at the kitchen table creating something. Her sisters love to watch her draw and color and paint because she makes up stories about her artwork and she tells them as she creates. It is so funny to watch Abbi and Karlie crowded around the table just watching and listening to Karis do her artwork.
Karis also loves to "make sets" with their princess castle and dollhouse people and her sisters love to listen to her tell stories about them as well. I just love her imagination!
Karis still has a tendency to be very shy in new situations. She will often not smile or talk or even look at people at all in a new situation. Once she feels comfortable, though, she surprises everyone around her because she is like a totally different person, all smiling and talking and full of energy. We are working on having good manners and being polite even in new situations but I know that it is hard for her and we try to help her as much as possible. She is much more comfortable if allowed to stay with Karlie and they can face the new situation together or if we have discussed exactly what is going to happen and she knows exactly what to expect and what is expected of her.
Karis loves being the oldest sister and loves to be in charge more than anything. They often play "family" or "school" and she is always the Mom or teacher. She is a "rule-follower" and can't stand it if the others are not. Most of the time she is very obedient and most of our few battles occur over what is appropriate to wear somewhere, sharing with her sisters, or her attitude when asking for something or complaining about something.
Karis is our most agreeable eater and can generally be persuaded to eat a reasonable amount of anything in order to get a treat :) She loves to help me cook and is always so happy when I let her do things by herself. She loves to make most of dinner and then set the table so she can tell Daddy that she did everything!
Karis loves her Daddy so much and her time with him is very important to her. If we just have a relaxing evening and forget to "play games" with Daddy before bed, she gets very upset that she didn't get to do anything with Daddy. And going on a Daddy-date is pretty much the best thing in the world to her! She has also developed some wonderful friendships this past year at church and at school and I believe these are friendships that will last for years to come!
Karis is such a good big sister and watches out for Susanna very carefully. She is quick to notify me if there is something on the ground Susanna should not have or if Susanna falls or gets into trouble. I am very thankful for my big helper!
In so many ways, both in personality and in what she likes to do, Karis greatly reminds me of myself at her age. It is utterly amazing to watch her grow up! I love her so much!

Susanna Beth at 1 Year!
It is hard to believe that this sweet girl turned one year old already!
This little girl goes out a lot more than her sisters did at her age. She typically will sit quietly and shyly in my lap for the first 15 minutes or so and then wants to get down and get into everything! She is not afraid of other kids and has actually gotten in trouble in the nursery for tackling them. It is actually because her sisters (Karlie primarily) love it when Susanna climbs on them and they laugh hysterically and Susanna thinks it is so fun. She has a best little friend, Elena, who we usually get together with at least once a week and often several times more. None of my other girls had a best buddy so early on and it has been fun to see how excited Susanna gets when she sees Elena.
Susanna Beth loves, loves, loves her people. If she sees someone she loves, like Daddy or one of her grandparents, she wants them to pick her up immediately! She pretty much goes crazy til they pick her up. It has been really fun to be in VA and get to see the grandparents more frequently, even on a weekly basis a lot of times. I think Susanna is much more attached to her grandparents than the others were at this stage. She recognized them a lot earlier as well. The only downfall is that we rarely have to spend the night at their houses, so she utterly refuses to take a nap when we spend the day there! When we lived in NC, the girls got used to visiting about once a month so they slept well in their beds at the grandparents' houses. Susanna takes a great nap at home, but not anywhere else.
Susanna has a sweet little bear softy that she adores and when she gets tired, she puts her hand by her ear to ask for it (like in the picture below). That is where she holds her softy while she sucks her thumb when she is tired. It is so precious. Susanna is still nursing several times a day and a couple times a night as well. None of the others were at all interested in nursing much after a year but I think since she never took a paci she will last a lot longer. That is a really good thing, because she has some eczema on her legs and feet so I am avoiding cow's milk right now (it is known to make eczema worse.) So she is nursing often and eating just about everything I eat other than dairy. I am also limiting her grains to ones that I have ground, soaked, and cooked since grains also can cause eczema flare-ups. Susanna is a great eater and pretty much loves everything I offer her. I taught Susanna sign language for "more" because she started yelling a lot at the table when she would want more food. She caught on quickly but only does it with one hand. It is really funny to see and so much nicer than screaming for more!
Susanna has quite the little personality and I love to hear her chatter. She gets really excited about books and reading together just about always clears up a fussy spell.
Susanna is figuring out humor and will often laugh when she hears us laughing. It is a funny little fake laugh with a look on her face that asks if it was the right time to laugh. It always cracks us up and makes us laugh even harder and then she will grin really big and laugh really loud. Oh this little girl is so much fun!
We love Susanna Beth so very much!

And a First Birthday Party, Too!
We celebrated sweet Susanna Beth's birthday a couple days early so the grandparents could all be there. Susanna didn't know what all the excitement was about, but she was sure happy!
Then she got a little uncertain as her sisters' excitement escalated...
"What is going on, Mama?"
"I'll try this with one finger first"
Her sisters were so excited that she finally got to enjoy chocolate cake that they could hardly stand it!
If the mess on her face tells us anything, I'd say she liked it!
After getting cleaned up, Susanna had fun pushing her sisters around in Karis's new Plasmacar :)
A 7th birthday party!
Karis wanted to celebrate her 7th birthday at the park this year with a handful of favorite friends. It was so fun to see all those little girls running around and having so much fun together! It was the perfect spring day and just perfect for a park playdate! Many thanks to all the friends and family who came and made it such a special day for Karis!

Check card
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The term check card can refer to:
- An identification card issued by a retailer allowing the holder to tender payment by check. Such cards were commonly issued in the United States by supermarkets and other retailers before the widespread use of debit cards. In Ireland and the United Kingdom, such cards were known as cheque guarantee cards. In the United States, the term check card was first coined by H. Robert Heller, then the President of VISA Inc. to indicate to users that it could be used just like a check.
- A debit card.

This is where I should be giving you knowledgeable and detailed advice about growing salvias – the best ones to grow, how to make them flourish, new varieties and old favourites.
Except I can't. Despite growing salvias for nearly 40 years and having salvias blooming here all year round in reds, yellows, pinks, blues and the most divine purple, I know remarkably little about them. You don't need to know much to grow salvias.
My experience with salvias is simple. I see them in a catalogue or fall in love with them in a garden or a nursery, buy them, plant them and watch them bloom and bloom and bloom. I prune them now and then in winter, poke the hard wood prunings into the ground, about 30 centimetres deep and snap off most of the tops. And they grow, just about every one of them, so we now have hedges of salvias all from a single original plant.
A few months after planting I can't even remember their names, which probably got lost when I unpacked them anyway. The only things I really know about them are that I like the colours (blues, purples, reds and pinks for the most part, although there are white, yellow and orange ones as well), and that they are hardy and long flowering and tolerate frosts, which not all long-blooming drought-hardy perennials will do. But without a record of those names, I can't give them to you – you're going to have to read the labels or the catalogue descriptions for yourself. Helpful hint: there are many, many, many to choose from. Hundreds, though you'll need to do a bit of catalogue searching to find more than 20 or so. But trust me – within that 20 you'll find enough to fill the garden with flowers, and the birds who'll feed on them, all year round. Not the same bloom all year round, mind you, but there is no time of year when there aren't some salvias profusely in bloom.
Just now there are the rich, red, pineapple sage flowers blooming down by the shed where they are protected from the seven degrees of frost we've been having. I do know the name of that one, pineapple sage, with richly scented leaves as well as about six months of flowers each year.
There is fruit salad sage too, with giant sprays of pink blooms, also in a frost-protected area. I have cut down the two blue salvias that flower outside my office, and which will put up new lime green growth in spring, and then in late spring and right through summer begin flowering until early next winter. The even richer blue salvias in the top garden have finally taken a break from flowering, as have the giant stems usually topped with the most intense purple flowers you have ever seen. I bought just one of those five years ago and they have grown so fast, with so much good snapable wood, that they too are a hedge today.
That is the secret with tall-growing salvias. If the wood snaps you can plant it. And I don't mean even a proper "plant" in a dug garden, you just thrust it in the soil among the bracken or weeds. If there is a drought, perhaps one in 10 may grow anyway. If it's an even reasonable season, 10 out of 10 will grow and your garden and your friends' will soon be filled with them. Just one initial plant is enough.
For me – though not taxonomists – salvias come in small, medium and large. The large ones grow at the back of the garden, the mediums in the middle, in beds edged with garlic chives, and the small are garden edgers themselves, or even small beds around bursaria and other shrubs.
And they survive. A good season, of course, gives you more flowers and lusher leaves. But even in 2003's summer drought the ones I planted survived. They didn't grow much, but they did survive.
The first salvias I planted were from a Country Women's Association stall, though I didn't buy them. A neighbour had and she gave me some cuttings of hers. They turned out to be about 30 centimetres high with velvet furry leaves and orange flowers through mid-summer, when very little else blooms – and nothing else at all in those drought years from 1970 -1983. Except for those. I looked out at the barren slopes of orchards that were only just surviving, and there in the foreground were the orange salvias, blooming, blooming, blooming.
They were slow growing at first – well, who can blame them? – growing without water on a bank that was mostly clay and builders' rubble. But some time about a decade ago, after 30 years of sulking, they began to grow faster and faster still. Tiny cuttings shoved into corners have grown fast too, so now I need to haul them out as they spill over the path and keep encroaching. To a salvia that hardy cement paving is hardly even a challenge, much less insurmountable.
The orange darlings grow equally well in full sun, dappled shade or the quite deep and almost totally dry shade near the house, where black snakes like to lurk in them – one reason for hauling them out, as I prefer to see the snakes, especially if they are sunbathing in the warmth by the house. And no, I still don't know what that particular orange is, although I've hunted for it even among esoteric salvia collections. Each time I think, 'Ah, I've found it' the one I've found turns out not to be that one at all.
And, to be honest, I'm not an orange-in-the-garden person, except for oranges, mandarins, tangelos, cumquats, calamondins et al. Orange is only permissible if you can eat it. So I haven't ordered nearly enough orange salvias to see if I can discover it again.
I planted salvias in the "almost gravel and not much else" so called soil around my favourite bursaria, last year. They have been watered twice; had totally insufficient water and no feeding, plus the wallabies decided they liked salvias and ate them for two months straight, And then, wallaby like, rejected them. The wallabies here relish any new plant in the garden. They like the taste of novelty.
Luckily for the floriferousness of our household once the wallabies have had a munch for a while they lose their taste for salvias and go back to their favourites – roses, peaches, young citrus leaves, Iceland poppies… Grass is way, way down the list, but then we have little true grass here – what looks like grass is an amalgam of native ground covers.
The salvias didn't flower last year, but they have grown a little this winter, and I suspect they will zoom along as soon as spring really warms up. And then – if the catalogue description is correct – we should have 10 months of the year of red and white lipped blooms, about 60 centimetres high, in a bird-filled cloud around the bursaria, with its birds' nests in its thorn branches and beards of lichen on its stems. It will be a glory of salvia.
If only I could remember which one it is.
This week I'm:
* gloating over the seeds I'm planting in the pots in a warm spot on top of the barbecue in the middle of the paving, hopefully frost free – we haven't barbecued anything for about a decade but it makes a great spot to germinate seedlings;
* dreaming of the watermelons, pumpkins and cucumbers whose seeds I'm planting;
* spreading chicken wire over the bits of vegie garden planted with lettuce and radish seed to keep the lyrebirds off;
* and on the compost I spread over last autumn's leaves where I'll be planting the watermelons and pumpkins;
* thanking the bower birds for deciding they prefer chicory to broccoli leaves – we have a lot more chicory than broccoli; and
* watching the weeds grow while the wombats and wallabies eat the grass. It is weed mowing time, to chop their heads off before they set seed.

A much-rumored music-video competition won't be part of American Idol Season 10, Adam B. Vary reports for EW.com. And viewers will get to start voting for contestants once the field has been narrowed to 20 semi-finalists. The number of finalists is still up in the air, though it most likely will be 10 or 12.
Also, don't expect an even mix of male and female finalists. "If I've got six fantastic boys and four average girls, I'm certainly not going to throw out a fantastic boy to put in another average girl, or vice versa," executive producer Ken Warwick says.
Nashville-based Brian Mansfield began writing about music for USA TODAY in 1997 and took over Idol Chatter just before the start of Season 8. He co-authored Make Me a Star: Industry Insiders Reveal How to Make It in Music, and while he has never auditioned for American Idol, he did sing Boot Scootin' Boogie at Disney World's American Idol Experience the day the attraction opened (he lost).

In 1978 Luigi Ghirri self-published his first book, "Kodachrome", an avant-garde manifesto for the medium of photography and a landmark in his own remarkable oeuvre.
This is a very rare copy of the first edition of "Kodachrome", published by Contrejour, Paris in 1978. Although the book notes '2em edition pour la France', in reality this is the first French edition, published alongside the first Italian edition (by Punto e Virgolaone) in 1978, and is not a reprint of it. In 2012 Mack Books in London re-printed the book for the first time since these original, highly collectable editions were available.
'Ghirri fights to maintain our ability to see. His works are powerful devices for the re-education of the gaze. They alter the perception we have of the world without proposing a single path to follow, rather they provide us with the tools we need to find the one we're looking for.' – Francesco Zanot
'His photographs are like passport photos of the real' – Roland Barthes.
Part amateur photo-album, Ghirri presents his surroundings in tightly cropped images, making photographs of photographs and recording the Italian landscape through it's adverts, postcards, potted plants, walls, windows, and people. His work is deadpan, reflecting a dry wit, and is a continuous engagement with the subject of reality and of landscape as a snapshot of our interaction with the world.
'The daily encounter with reality, the fictions, the surrogates, the ambiguous, poetic or alienating aspects, all seem to preclude any way out of the labyrinth, the walls of which are ever more illusory… to the point at which we might merge with them… The meaning that I am trying to render through my work is a verification of how it is still possible to desire and face a path of knowledge, to be able finally to distinguish the precise identity of man, things, life, from the image of man, things, and life.' – Luigi Ghirri
Born in Scandiano in 1942, Luigi Ghirri spent his working life in the Emilia Romagna region, where he produced one of the most open and layered bodies of work in the history of photography. He was published and exhibited extensively both in Italy and internationally and was at the height of his career at the time of his death in 1992.
A masterpiece of colour photography!

Network to Transform Harry Buffalo (RNC) and Victory Beer Hall (DNC)
Into Event & Broadcast Hubs
It's back and better than ever! For four nights only the CNN Grill will open its doors in Cleveland, OH and Philadelphia, PA for the Republican and Democratic National Conventions. In cooperation with an all-star lineup of vendors and partners, CNN will offer select convention-goers access to the most tricked out hospitality venues and live broadcast studios in each city. The ultimate convention destination, the CNN Grill is where lawmakers, celebrities, reporters and politicos meet to make news and make merry.
This year, the CNN Grill has chosen STARR Catering Group to create custom menus for both cities, giving guests a truly unique and unparalleled experience. The CNN Grill will also give visitors a special taste of Cleveland and Philadelphia and shine a spotlight on several top-notch local businesses by incorporating their products into the Grill's menu.
The CNN Grill at the Republican National Convention
Situated just steps from the Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland, the CNN Grill will be located at the site of Harry Buffalo. With the help of experiential marketing & PR agency CIVIC, CNN completely reimagined the restaurant – a two-story warehouse space located on East 4th Street. The Grill will serve as home base for the network with a newsroom and live broadcasts daily, a fully operational restaurant and multiple bars. The Grill will play host to a variety of special events throughout the day and will open to invited guests nightly at 5pm from Monday, July 18th – Thursday, July 21st.
To highlight local businesses on the Grill's menu in Cleveland, STARR has tapped a variety of hometown favorites:
The CNN Grill at the Democratic National Convention
A prime location in Philadelphia, the CNN Grill will take up residence at Victory Beer Hall at XFINITY Live!. CNN worked with CIVIC to transform the sprawling space into an unrivaled convention venue for food, fun, festivities, and of course – a broadcast studio for live daily programming. The site boasts soaring ceilings, several bars and a 2,000 square-foot patio complete with a fire pit and a unique panoramic view of the Philadelphia skyline. A variety of private events will be hosted throughout the day and the Grill will open to invited guests daily at 5pm from Monday July 25th — Thursday July 28th.
To introduce visitors to some local flavor, STARR Catering Group has identified several businesses whose products will be featured on the CNN Grill menu:
The CNN Grill first opened its doors across from Madison Square Garden in New York City as the 'CNN Diner' in 2004 and has since welcomed convention goers in St. Paul, MN and Denver, CO in 2008 and Charlotte, NC and Tampa, FL in 2012. CNN has also taken the Grill to the SXSW festival in Austin, TX.

Like that there is 11g of protein per bar. It is quite sweet. Yummy, but would like to see an option with maybe half the sugar. Add Greek yoghurt as a side and you've got high-protein noms!
Usually not one for protein bars but after being impressed with the vector protein cereal, I decided I shall try the protein bars.
They are good, and keep you full and contain plenty of ingredients to keep you active and healthy throughout the day. I liked the nutrient aspect and calorie wise. I enjoyed the taste and I enjoyed that it came from a brand that the cereal I like and trust in.
Starving one afternoon promoted to grab a box of mixed nuts Kellogg's vector protein bars which is a slightly misleading description as these are much more comparable to an ordinary granola bar much less the texture and feel of an actual protein bar and more of chocolate bar feel. Despite the difference the bar itself has a natural wholesome taste and is a good snack/tide over till the next meal size. At the time of purchase they were on sale but the regular retail value is in keeping with the competitors pricing. The have a good chocolate to but ratio and it's got a good blend of nut options not just mainly peanuts and one cashew. I would buy these again for myself and for my family. Good price, taste and ingredients.
I purchase the almond kind.. There actually quit good.. Does taste like a protein Bar though.

Here's another great use for Press and Seal. When you take a drink outside, you risk getting bugs in it. So put a small piece of Press and Seal over your glass leaving a drink hole or poke a tiny hole in it and stick a straw through it. You will drink bug free. For a recyclable way to do the same thing, you can also use those little bowl covers that look like mini shower caps and poke a hole in those for a straw, then they can be washed over and over! I have used both and it works great.

The present application is related to U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/505,537, filed Aug. 16, 2006 and entitled "Systems and Methods for Utilizing an Enterprise Map to Determine Affected People," which is herein incorporated by reference.
1. Field of the Invention
Embodiments of the present invention relate generally to data management and more particularly to an organization-specific classification system for data management.
2. Description of Related Art
Traditionally, document and record management systems utilize a classification code, such as a unique name, to assign a document type to an instance or group of documents. For some systems, more structure may be required for classifying documents. In some instances, companies may create and maintain information taxonomies, which may or may not be hierarchical, in order to handle the classification codes.
Furthermore, companies may desire to set policies based on classification codes. There may be regulatory requirements, laws, or other policies that are required in management of some documents. For example, a life insurance company is required to maintain insurance policies for a particular period of time after the death of the policy holder. Because companies do not want to maintain documents for a longer period of time than required, there is a strong desire to articulate or specify policies such as retention policies.
Conventionally, one stylized version of the classification code comprises a three letter alpha string that identifies a general type (e.g., "ADM" for administrative) and a three number string for the more specific type (e.g., "100" for general memo). For example, "ADM-100" refers to a document that is an administrative memo.
The coding may be applied to the document or group of documents in various manners depending on the medium the document is stored in. For example, if the document is in an electronic format, the coding may be metadata attached to the document. For hard copy documents, the document may be compiled in a box with same type documents, and the box is coded (e.g., classification code is written or barcoded on the box). In embodiments using a barcode, a records management system may coordinate and/or identify the barcode (e.g., barcode from Box1 indicated that Box1 contains ADM-100 documents. The coding may link the document or set of documents to a retention policy and schedule for disposal.
The use of the traditional classification codes tends to work well when a company is only located in one jurisdiction, geography, or business or needs only one retention schedule for documents within a particular code regardless of where they are created or stored. In situations where the company exists in multiple jurisdictions and/or geographies (e.g., country, state, county), each jurisdiction may have very different laws or regulations. These different laws or regulations may dictate, as examples, different retention policies, different security policies, and different access policies for the same document type.
For example, UK requirements for retaining an account ledger (e.g., classification code "ACC-200") may be different then U.S. requirements for the same type of document. The same may be true for different business units within the same jurisdiction independent of legal or regulatory requirements. Thus, the company cannot rely strictly on document type classification coding as the only or primary linkage to retention or other policies, as the document type classification coding does not provide sufficient dimensions to address geographic, business unit, or jurisdictional distinctions around which policy can be articulated or specified and with which documents (electronic or physical) can be thus coded.
In order to solve this problem, one prior art method utilizes an ad hoc tagging scheme. For example, a document is initially tagged with the traditional document type classification code. A user may append more tagging codes such as customer code or office code resulting in more attributes. Thus, a plurality of classification codes is associated with each document (e.g., "ADM-100" with client "BankX" and location "NYC"). Disadvantageously, this method does not work well when companies merge or if the law changes for a certain type of documents. Additionally, ad hoc tagging is generally not easily tracked because each user may apply their own unique tags and attributes (e.g., one user may use "NYC" while a second user may note location as "New York"). A traditional management system and traditional approaches are not designed or configured to track, store, retrieve, or manage either policies or documents in this ad hoc manner.
Therefore, there is a need for a classification code system that incorporates locality/jurisdiction data into the classification code.
Embodiments of the present invention provide systems and methods for classifying a document utilizing an organization-specific classification code (OSCC). The OSCC is a classification code based on an information type and an organization. The organization may be physical, structural, or logical.
In some embodiments, one or more policies may be associated with the OSCC. All documents having the same OSCC are subject to the same policies. These policies may comprise a retention period for various instances of information thus classified, custodian (i.e., storage location), record manager(s), and other important information which is pertinent to all documents sharing the OSCC. Additionally, the policy may also comprise information such as a disposal period, security and access, and legal holds.
The system may comprise a locality module configured to identify a locality element in determining correct usage of the OSCC. In some embodiments, the locality module identifies a subset of OSCCs that a particular user is allowed to select based on the locality element. The locality element may comprise an author of the document, the author being affiliated with the organization or an individual assessing the document (e.g., a document classifier, etc.). Alternatively, the locality element may be a location of the document, the location being affiliated with the (logically or physical) organization.
Embodiments of the present invention provide an exemplary system for utilizing an organization-specific classification code (OSCC). The OSCC identifies both a record or information type and a physical or logical organization as, or with, a single classification code. Any number of business or logical organizations may comprise an enterprise (e.g., company). Exemplary systems also allow a user to define a policy in terms of one jurisdiction or logical organization as distinct from another using the OSCC. The use of OSCCs also allows the user to find, based on the business or logical organization, types of documents operated upon by the organization.
Any number of users 102 may be present in the environment 100. The user 102 is an individual accessing the management system 106 in order to perform some action to, or with, one or more documents. In one example, the user 102 is an individual creating or modifying a document. In other examples, the user 102 is an individual responsible for classifying the documents, managing the documents, or implementing a policy on some of the documents. In another example, the user 102 is an individual creating, reviewing or modifying policy regarding some of the documents or data stored in one or more repositories 108.
The exemplary management system 106 manages the documents stored in the information repository 108. The management system 106 will be discussed in more detail in connection with
Any number of information repositories 108 may be coupled to the management system 106. The information repository 108 contain the documents or information elements/data (e.g., electronic or physical_files, emails, papers, digital media, back up tapes, etc.) classified using the OSCC. These information repository 108 may be located anywhere in an enterprise (e.g., in different jurisdictions) or in a third-party information repository off corporate premises. The information repository 108 may comprise both physical and electronic storage media, including warehouses, filing cabinets, hard drives, and other paper, physical or digital media storage devices which may or may not be coupled to the network 104.

The exemplary OSCC engine 200 creates and maintains the OSCC used by the classification engine 202. In exemplary embodiments, the OSCC engine 200 comprises an OSCC generator 204, an OSCC policy manager 206, and an OSCC interface module 208. The OSCC generator 204 generates the OSCC. In exemplary embodiments, organizations or organizational units may be segmented out of a larger organization (physical enterprise or logical group as a whole). The organizations can comprise business units in different jurisdictions (e.g., countries, states, and counties) or having different business functions and requirements independent of legal or regulatory requirements, or other logical relationships and segmentations. Information types may then be associated with each organization. The creation of OSCCs will be discussed in more detail below in connection with
In exemplary embodiments, a policy may be associated with the created OSCC. That is, for example, default retention, storage, or record keeping guidelines may be associated with the created OSCC. These policies are initially generated and assigned to the created OSCC via the OSCC policy manager 206. All documents having the particular OSCC are subject to the same policy. These policies may comprise a custodian (i.e., storage location), a record manager, and other important information which is pertinent to all documents sharing the OSCC. For example, the policy may also comprise information such as a retention period, security and access, and legal holds. Policies are discussed in more detail in connection with
The OSCC engine 200 also allows for revisions to be made to existing OSCCs via the OSCC generator 204. For example, if a single organization is split into two new organizations, an organization associated with an existing OSCC may be changed. Similarly, policies associated with an OSCC upon creation may be revised via the OSCC policy manager 206. In exemplary embodiments, the OSCC engine or some other component tracks these historical changes and provides change management during reorganizations.
In some embodiments, the OSCC interface module 208 is an interface to the device the user 102 is using to interact with the OSCC engine 200. In other embodiments, the OSCC interface module 208 provides a graphical user interface through which the user 102 can interact with the other components of the OSCC engine 202 to create the OSCC and associated policies. Screen shots of some graphical user interfaces will be discussed in more detail in connection with
The classification engine 202 is configured to classify the documents and data in the enterprise using the OSCCs. In exemplary embodiments, the classification engine 202 comprises an OSCC database 210, a locality module 212, a database interface module 214, a policy module 216, and a user interface module 218.
The OSCC database 210 stores the OSCCs. In exemplary embodiments, OSCCs created by the OSCC engine 200 via the OSCC generator 204 are "published" to the classification engine 202 and thus stored into the OSCC database 210. When a user 102 classifies a document, the OSCC database 210 is accessed to provide the appropriate OSCCs, as will be discuss below.
The locality module 212 provides the locality based element to embodiments of the present invention. In exemplary embodiments, the locality module 212 identifies specific OSCCs based on the user's locality data (e.g., the business organization or organizations, geographies, or jurisdictions associated with user). As discussed, each user 102 or process that classifies a document may comprise a locality element that associates the user 102 or the process with an organization. For example, one or a few individuals on a merger and acquisition (M&A) team in a New York (NY) office may be responsible for archiving records for M&A deals for their office, according to the appropriate information retention policy. These individuals are functionally assigned only to work in the New York office. Therefore, there is location recognition based on the individual(s) archiving the documents by the locality module 212 (e.g., based upon the individual('s) organizational membership). Because the individual(s) report to the New York office, a classification engine 202 may allow only codes that apply to the New York office to be identified and/or allowed to be applied by the locality module 212.
From a user interface perspective, the user 102 is given a choice that appears to be a traditionally classification code (e.g., "MAA-100"), according to one embodiment. However, implicitly, the classification code is an OSCC representing "MAA-100-NY" because the document is coming from, or associated with, the user 102 from the New York office (e.g., from the user's computer, person, boxes, files, etc.). A similar user 102 at the enterprise's UK office may also have the traditionally classification code "MAA-100" available for use. However, when the UK user 102 applies the "MAA-100" classification code, the locality module 212 will determine, based on the user 102 being associated with the UK office, that the OSCC represents "MAA-100-UK," for example.
In some of these embodiments, the user 102 does not see the locality element in the classification code (e.g., they only see "MAA-100"). Instead, the locality element is embedded into an underlying layer of the management system 106 which tags a document with the OSCC that is uniquely derived with organization and document type, or is otherwise associated with both the organization and document type. In alternative embodiments, the user may have the option to use locality elements in their classification code (e.g., "MAA-100-NY") or provide a selection that is associated with a locality (e.g., classify as "MAA-100" and select location "NY" in a user interface).
In further embodiments, specific OSCCs are only available for certain business organizations. For example, "ADM-200" may only be used in the New York office. In some of these embodiments, the locality module 212 implicitly determines the users 102 locality element and provides only an appropriate subset of OSCCs (e.g., only New York OSCCs to a New York user 102). In other embodiments, the locality module 212 may also consider the user (102) geography in determining the appropriate OSCCs.
The locality module 212 narrows the OSCC choices available to the user 102 and may also validate any classifications made by the user 102 so that documents are coded properly. For example, if the user 102 associated with the UK office tries to manually code a document with "ADM-200" (e.g., administrative memo—New York), the locality module 212 may reject this classification.
In an embodiment where the user 102 is associated with more than one business organization, the user 102 may be presented with sets of classification codes for each business organization with which they are associated. For example, if the user is associated with both the New York office and a European office within the enterprise, the user 102 may see or use both sets of OSCCs. Thus, for example, "ADM-100-NY" and "ADM-100-EU" may be classification codes that the user 102 can use. In an alternative embodiment, the user may apply the OSCC "ADM-100" and specify the organization (e.g., NY or EU).
The database interface module 214 provides access to the information repositories 108. In exemplary embodiments, a user 102 may search for documents having a particular OSCC. The database interface module 214 can access the information repositories 108 and find the specific documents, returning one or more documents (or a list of documents) to the user 102.
The exemplary policy module 216 allows a user 102 to view and, in some embodiments, apply annotations to policies associated with an OSCC.
In some embodiments, the user interface module 218 is an interface to the device the user 102 is using to interact with the classification engine 202. In other embodiments, the user interface module 218 provides a graphical user interface through which the user 102 can interact with the other components of the classification engine 202.
The management system 106 is exemplary. Alternative embodiments may comprise more, less, or functionally equivalent components. While the embodiment of
Referring now to
The policy 306 comprises additional information which is applicable to all documents 304 sharing the same OSCC 302 in the organization 310. In exemplary embodiments, the policy 306 may indicate a custodian (i.e., a storage location), retention rules, and a records manager (i.e., a person responsible for management). The policy 306 may also indicate guidelines for actions associated with the OSCC 302 such as retention, disposal, or certification guidelines. For example, documents 304 having a particular OSCC 302 may have a policy 306 which requires the documents 304 be retained for seven years.
Because the policy 306 is associated with the OSCC 302, and therefore indirectly with the organization 310 and information type 308, each organization 310 can manage different policies 306 for their own documents 304 independent of other organizations 310 in the enterprise. Thus, for example, legal exceptions around local laws can be incorporated in the policy 306 of a Malaysian bank office for a specific information type 308 which will not affect the same information type at the parent US bank office. As a further example, if new legislation that affects record keeping is implemented, the policy 306 for the affected information type 308 and locality of the new legislation (i.e., organization 310) can be modified in isolation of other information types 308 and organizations 310. Additionally, embodiments of the present invention allow for organization-specific operational policies per information type to be established (e.g., what information repository the document should be stored in).
In a relational database embodiment, the policy 306 record may be stored separate from the OSCC 302, but the policy 306 and the OSCC 302 will have references to each other in the relational database.
Advantageously, the OSCC 302 provides a significant improvement over the prior art approaches to classifying documents with only an information type (e.g., sales invoice). The OSCC 302 reconciles differences in retention/disposal regulations in different jurisdictions or different business requirements for information retention across the enterprise.
Different enterprises and systems classify documents 304 at different points in the document lifecycle. In some embodiments, an author can classify the document 304 at the point of creation, thus identifying the information type 308. Utilizing embodiments of the present invention, the classification now includes a locality element which may be inherent. For example, a subset of OSCCs may be identified for an author inherently based on an organization affiliation of the author (e.g., the author only works in the New York office and therefore only utilizes OSCCs for the New York organization).
Exemplary embodiments may comprise OSCCs that apply to a single organization or to a larger (i.e., parent) organization comprising a plurality of sub-organizations (i.e., a so-called "scope" of the OSCC, which may be a single organization or an organizational tree). For example, a single OSCC may be defined for the larger organization scope (e.g., Western Sales organization tree) without having to also be defined for each sub-organization (e.g., California Sales, Oregon Sales, etc.) within the larger organization. The sub-organizations may inherit the parent organization's OSCCs and their policies, where the sub-organization is within the scope of the OSCC definition. Similarly, modifications to a (master) OSCC or policy of the parent organization will flow to the sub-organizations. Therefore, an OSCC which applies to all sub-organizations within a larger organization only needs to be defined once for the larger organization, greatly simplifying maintenance and management.
In other embodiments, the documents may be classified by a record keeper after document creation. Pattern recognition may be utilized by the record keeper to aid in the classification. For example, the record keeper can look at the author, sender, or receivers of a document and infer the locality element. In this example, the record keeper can determine the organization 310 associated with the sender or determine that the document 304 is only being relayed within a single organization 310. In exemplary embodiments, the record keeper is an individual. In other embodiments, the record keeper may be a software tool.
Pattern recognition may also be utilized to identify the information type 308. For example, the record keeper may know from viewing a document 304 that it is a form for a sales invoice or an IP deal pitchbook having a recognized appearance, content, or file name. In addition, the storage location, file owner, or other information may indicate the organization that owns the document. As a result, these documents 304 may be implicitly classified by appearance, content, or file name and organization, allowing the correct identification of appropriate OSCC. Thus, the record keeper will, for example, file the document 304 in a correct box associated with the appropriate information type and organization.
In embodiments with automated information type classification systems, the system can derive the organization 310, in addition to information type 308, in order to select the appropriate OSCC 302 for the document 304. For example, the information type 308 may be derived from pattern recognition. The organization 310 can be derived from document location (e.g., file shares and other information repositories utilized by a small number of organizations) or document meta-data (e.g., file owner, document author, etc.). With document meta-data, an author, for example, has an affiliation with an organization 310 which thereby allows correct coding of the document with the appropriate OSCC 302.
Thus, embodiments of the present invention classify a document 304 based on the information type 308 and the organization 310. The classification may be applied by a person, a software application, any other mechanisms, or any combination of these different record keepers.
Because the OSCC 302 provides an intrinsic relationship between the organization 310, information type 308, and policy 306, a user 102 is able to develop, sustain, and apply policies far more efficiently in complex enterprises. Based on people, custodians, organizations 310, or information types 308 known to be relevant to a legal matter, for example, the subset of all OSCCs 302 can be derived that are relevant to the legal matter. More specifically, the user 102 can search for a specific OSCC 302 and identify systems, people, and information associated with the legal matter. Additionally, the user 102 can search for and identify exact documents 304 or data that are classified with a given OSCC 302. The search may be performed by a search module (not shown) in the management engine 106, for example.
In exemplary embodiments, the user 102 may initiate a policy change, via the policy manager 206, for the OSCC 302 as a whole. The policy change may alter, enable or prevent some action with regards to the associated documents 304 or OSCC 302. In one embodiment, the policy change is a legal hold that prevents the destruction of the identified documents for preservation and production purposes related to a legal action. The policy change is incorporated into the policy 306. In some embodiments, a notification based on the policy change is sent to affected people and systems to inform them of the change in policy. In other embodiments, workflow may be generated or processed, such as is necessary to approve, institute, or otherwise process the policy change. For example, if the policy change requires legal approval before it is instituted, notification and workflow may be used together to route legal review tasks and approval requests to appropriate legal reviewers, and to notify all involved parties of the approval process status as the review and approval is workflow is executed. In another example, the policy change is an addition of safe disposal process instructions for personally-identifiable information, such as consumer or patient data, for all data or documents classified in the specific OSCC 302. Similarly, the policy change may be an addition or alteration to the retention period, the custodial repository, records manager, or other policy element for that type of data in that physical or logical organization 310.
In a more specific example, a legal team looking for accounting records for Western US Sales does not have to search through all accounting records. Instead, the legal team accesses a search tool (e.g., search module) that searches based upon the OSCC 302. Furthermore, the OSCC 302 and its policy 306 may provide specific locations (custodians and repositories) within which to conduct the search, saving time in determining where data may be located. In some embodiments, the search tool may also allow searches based on key words, data location, content indices, and the like.
Referring now to
With respect to the human resources organization 404, the user 102, as shown, can create (i.e., new), delete, or rename organizations within the human resources organization 404. In the present embodiment, an options window 412 is presented to a user 102 for creating, deleting, and renaming the organization. It should be noted that user 102 can create organizations at any level within the enterprise. For example, if there is only a single human resources department for the entire enterprise, the lowest level organization that needs to be associated with this department is a human resources organization 404. Other organizations, such as the sales organization 406, may require further distinctions resulting in lower level organizations (i.e., western sales and eastern sales organizations 408 and 410).
In some embodiments, the user 102 can also move organizations within the hierarchy. The organizations may be moved by, for example, dragging and dropping an element identifying the organization into a different location on the hierarchy. This "virtual" reorganization of lower level organizations (e.g., a sub-organization) associates elements of a new parent organization to the moved, lower level organization. These elements may include, but are not limited to, the people (person 312) employed within the organization or associated with the organization and the business systems and information repositories 108 used in the organization. The reorganization also causes policies 306 associated with the new parent organization to be inherited by the lower level organization.
Once the organization 310 and information types 308 have been defined, an organization-specific classification code (OSCC 302) may be generated. Referring now to
In exemplary embodiments, a user 102 can also specify if the OSCC 302 applies to a single organization or to all sub-organizations within a selected organization in an application field 438. For example, a Sales organization 440 may have one or more OSCCs associated with it, which will apply to a Western Sales sub-organization 442 and an Eastern Sales sub-organization 444.
While embodiments of the present invention describe the OSCC 302 having particular naming conventions, the invention is independent of any coding, naming or numbering scheme, and any form of coding or naming may be utilized so long as the OSCC 302 associates an information type and an organization with a document being classified.
The above-described functions and components can be comprised of instructions that are stored on a storage medium. The instructions can be retrieved and executed by a processor. Some examples of instructions are software, program code, and firmware. Some examples of storage medium are memory devices, tape, disks, integrated circuits, and servers. The instructions are operational when executed by the processor to direct the processor to operate in accord with embodiments of the present invention. Those skilled in the art are familiar with instructions, processor(s), and storage medium.
The present invention has been described above with reference to exemplary embodiments. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications may be made and other embodiments can be used without departing from the broader scope of the invention. Therefore, these and other variations upon the exemplary embodiments are intended to be covered by the present invention.

food is great! a little too dark for me and hard to get in sometimes. Parking around there is very very difficult.

5 of us went to dinner there Wednesday and had a great meal.
My wife and I (wel leave in the neighborhood) went back this evening, set at the bar, and had another fine meal.
Unfortunately, when I asked them about a reservation for tomorrow (friday) night they said they were too busy to talk to me about it and to call in at some unspecified later time.
So much for encouraging repeat business!

i guess due to its location, which works great for me as i live down the street, this place tends to draw a a crowd from the hood.
i couldnt be happier. i can always get in and i always have a great meal. certainly a nice night out place to eat and worth every penny. Great service as well

My wife and I have been to The Richmond several times, and it never fails to deliver on all counts: 1. terrific food; 2. ambience; 3. service befitting a high-end restaurant; and 4. value for money. If there were anything negative to mention, I would .. but there really isn't. My only other comment is that The Richmond isn't what I'd call a family restaurant, so I'd suggest getting a sitter for the evening. The Richmond is the perfect destination for a romantic dinner or a quality dining experience with friends.

Everytime we go it gets worse and worse. Although seating might be quick the service is horrible. It takes forever to get your drinks and the food is slow to come out of the kitchen. I noticed last time we went the kitchen decided to put green oil on every dish that we had. The chef or someone came out to clear our plates and the first thing I noticed was the dirt under his finger nails...ew! There are some good dishes such as the braised ox tail over scallops and braised short ribs, but the short ribs were no longer on the menu. The price for 2-people was way over priced for the type of amature service and none to great food. Hopefully they can turn it around.

My fiance and i had a great experience at the richmond resturant. the food was great, our service was great and we didnt have to request for anything it was all done on time and in a professional manner. the staff was great . the chef came by and asked if everything was ok and of course it was wonderful. my highest recomendations to the richmond resturant. thanks again

We walk by this restaurant all the time and we finally decided to try it. The food was amazing, creative and delicious. The service was very attentive - they gave us complimentary champagne as they knew it was our anniversary; they offered amuse bouches; the chef came out to visit with diners twice; they were in tune with our timing. We had a hard time choosing from the menu but everything we had was exceptional - oxtail and scallop on creamy polenta, roasted beets and carrot salad, poussin stuffed with chicken sausage, yellowtail on mouthwatering creamy celery root. The flavors popped. The desserts were terrific. Prices were reasonable. Intimate ambiance. Highly recommend it!

How is it that I haven't gone to this restaurant before? Is it possible I was prejudiced because of the location? (meaning, how could a great restaurant be located in the Richmond?) Shame on me. My husband and I went there Saturday night. I'm not embarassed to admit it...we are foodies. He had been there before for two different business meetings and raved about how outstanding it was...and insisted we go there for our anniversary. I admit it...I was ""wowed."" Parking is a challenge if you don't live in the neighborhood. My husband ran in to say we would be a late for our reservation because of parking. John, the owner, directed us to a spot. When we walked in, it reminded me of a couple of intimate neighborhood restaurants we've enjoyed in New York and Rome. Everything was remarkable. The beet salad was incredible...the salmon was excellent. The wine list is one of the best I've seen at any restaurant...in any city. Some of the best ""boutique, hard to find"" wines, like Paul Hobbs, are on the list. I can't wait to bring my foodie friends here...including the ones from New York. I look forward to my next visit.

Went to dinner on a Saturday night with my boyfriend's family. The service was terrible! I was given attitude when I asked for bread, then ended up waiting over 30 minutes to receive it. They ran out of diet coke and my second diet coke was actually half of a glass, for which I was charged full price. We waited a long time for the check and the waiter never checked in to see how our food was, nor offered us desert. Three of us ordered the steak. It was very chewy and not worth the effort to eat it. The oxtail was good but unoriginal. With all the great restaurants in SF don't partonize this one. The service was terrible and the food definitely doesnt make up for it.
12/27/2006Provided by Citysearch -
I tell you what, despite the fact that I am still in a bit of a food coma from the amazing meal I just had, I just have to write about it while it is still fresh in my mind. First off we started with the beet salad with a delicious goat cheese filled pastry, which really made the dish sing. We followed this with the potato leek soup, which was so full of flavor it was gone before I knew it. Oh and then the entree?s. I had the fresh tuna, which was served with oyster mushrooms, while my girlfriend had some of the best scallops she has ever had. Everything about this place, from the service, to the incredibly affordable wine list (there are some gems on the list which are almost being given away), to the fresh bread they put on the table is really top notch. This was our second visit, and I know we will be back again soon.

London: West Indies batsman Brian Lara has been given the chance to further his career in England - playing for a village team in Kent. The former West Indies captain has been made an offer to play for the Lashings club, based in Maidstone, Kent, south-east England, by a multi-millionaire who is based in the Caribbean, the 'London Evening Standard' reported on Tuesday. Simon Noble, head of a Caribbean-based internet betting company, has been in contact with Lara and was so confident of concluding the deal that he has registered the player's name with league officials. Noble sponsors the Lashings club which already boasts the services of former West Indies players Richie Richardson, Stuart Williams and Junior Murray. "My support for Lashings is because they have given several young West Indian players a chance to develop their game in England," said Noble. "For them to have an opportunity to play cricket with Brian Lara would be an unforgettable experience. It's non-pressure cricket at grass-roots level. He could relax and enjoy himself and have a lot of fun." Lashings are not the first English village team to make a bid for Lara's services. Alderley Edge tried to get the left-hander on board for the 2001 season but Cheshire League rules stopped them going ahead with the deal.
