KM Asia 2012: From Knowledge to Innovation
by Madanmohan Rao
Editor, The KM Chronicles http://bit.ly/TU12l
Singapore; November 6-8, 2012
I am back again in Singapore for one of my favourite annual knowledge management conferences, KM Asia! I will be conducting a workshop on creating knowledge-sharing cultures on Thursday (http://www.kmasia.com/agenda-daythree.asp#afternoon). See some of my posts from earlier conferences (http://km.techsparks.com/?p=214 http://km.techsparks.com/?p=72).
Here are my tweetnotes, will massage them into a Top Ten Takeaways piece later! In addition to the keynotes, it's always great to meet the delegates, this time from Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, India, Nepal, Fiji, UK, Nigeria!
Feel free to DM questions/comments to me via Twitter.
1. David Snowden
David Snowden tore into KM myths and practices in his trademark witty and controversial style.
Some nice quotes cited by David (see also my earlier post on KM from Indian Proverbs: http://km.techsparks.com/?p=427):
"It ain't what you don't know that gets you into trouble. It's what you know for sure that just ain't so." Mark Twain
"One must learn to listen to one's own humanity." Hugh/Gaping Void cartoon
"Intuition is compressed experience." – Lawrence Prusak
KM has focused on static assets, but should focus on creating an ecosystem where knowledge can be discovered.
"Sharepoint is to knowledge management what Six Sigma (sick stigma) is to innovation"
Resilience, strategic surprise are important in knowledge strategies
Knowledge is contextual, situational. Can't over-script it. KM departments are highly vulnerable during recession – especially if under IT department!
Ideational cultures are more resilient than scripted cultures
Too many shared values in an organisation is a dangerous thing; need a lot of diversity
Messy coherence – whatever structure you build today will be out of date or irrelevant or ineffective in shorter and shorter periods of time
Go beyond algorithmic search – build human sensor networks and not just information systems
Dissent is far better at weak signal detection than consensus
Human networks that are messily coherent are more effective than CoPs, taxonomies, etc.
Shared values and common purpose may be more comfortable but they damage resilience
Obliquity and serendipity are more important than purpose
Serendipity can give you something more valuable than what you were originally looking for
Early detection, fast recovery, speedy exploitation (great 'when shit hits the fan!')
Urban planners in the UK are looking at 18th century homes to learn about local design, local materials – new methods have not worked out well
In Agile, systems are built for resilience and not original specifications, since client may change his specs along the way
You need to plan for a future you cannot anticipate
Scenario planning is based on hypotheses which often are invalid over time
"From Good To Great" Jim Collins book – causation is confused with correlation.
Snowden showing intriguing chart comparing "probable, possible, plausible" – from anticipation to anticipatory awareness (derived from Max Boisot http://km.techsparks.com/?p=82)
When a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure.
External rewards can actually undermine employee motivation.
KM has been creating recipe books – not chefs. Have destroyed ability to innovate
Snowden takes a dig at Deloitte delegate. Deloitte = "do little hassle and sell"!
Q: All this 'free flow of knowledge' talk is fine – will it work in structured organisations like MNCs, with risks of IPR, confidentiality, etc?
You need a 'resilient boundary.' Too much reliance on one system makes you open for risk. Restraints only where you have to, only where resilient
You need rules about when to break the rules. Heuristics to be able to re-assess rules when context changes
Chefs also have recipes – but they know how to adapt when the situation changes
My question to Snowden: What are the limits to the size and quality of human sensor networks, and how to work around them? Snowden: You can use software here. Not to be confused with social networks, these have limits
US manufacturing culture from the last decade is a failure in the present context, no point in adopting it to the present context
2. Patrick Lambe: High Stakes Knowledge Management – Black Swans, White Swans (case study: SMRT breakdowns)
I disagree with Snowden – it is not all about mess, but structure to succeed
(Snowden responds: I didn't talk just about mess, but messy 'coherence'!)
SMRT got Twitter account only after the breakdowns! And then it was only from 9 am to 5 pm; radio DJs tweeting about the accidents were told not to do so!
Black Swan incidents can't be predicted. Happens often in situations like war. Need rapid learning networks.
US Army – Lessons Learned took several months, need faster ways to respond to terrorist methods. Informal sharing network – CompanyCommand.com
Can't depend only on recipes and standards
Need Lessons Learned integrator networks – embedded KM analysts who pick up faster lessons
White swan – some mistakes happen and you accept it, eg surgery risks.
Nancy Dixon: some percentage of heart bypass surgeries will not be successful. New England hospitals began to compare data. White swan becomes a bit gray.
Nancy Dixon: Knowledge sharing in New England hospitals in 1991-2002 helped halve mortality rates for heart bypass surgery
You need good data quality to share and compare and benchmark data
Another white swan – deaths during stampedes in concerts, matches.
SMRT breakdowns last year were embarrassing, they were not supposed to happen. Dec 14, 15, 17. Dec 15 problems were still unresolved on Dec 17. Crowd control and public communications was disastrous. Preparedness: emergency equipment unreliable, roles of different stakeholders not understood or rehearsed,
Singaporeans get very angry if aircon does not work!
In Singapore systems are over-standardised. Functional silos inhibit collective sensemaking.
Need more predictive maintenance, better sharing of technical knowledge
KPIs sit only at functional levels, at the expense of collaborating across boundaries. No sharing, not even curiosity about the big picture
KM should help address incident planning, sensemaking, situation awareness, customer communities, social media
Can't always put your bets on one plan. Need leadership commitment to learning across boundaries
Problem is that just sharing and having conversations will not scale, easy to argue with hindsight #kmasia12. Curiosity is a key point
3. James Mann, Financial Times
Having a research mindset can open the doors to new knowledge, insights, strategies, markets
Data in digital environment unearths new insights about customers, eg. reader behaviour
FT Intranet is called 'Neo' ('Working as One'). Global social channels drive FT consumption. Shares top bookmarked content
Knowledge is the catalyst to innovation. "If you think it's expensive to hire a professional to do the job, wait until you hire an amateur." Red Adair
My question to Mann: How is mobile affecting your innovation and strategy?
Mann: We pulled out of iTunes and switched to HTML5. More readers now, two-thirds on mobile devices
4. Ron Young: "Driving #Innovation through Knowledge Creation Activities"
Great to hear Ron Young connecting #KM with #innovation – here is some of my writing in this area: http://yourstory.in/author/madanmohan/
Need to bridge the gap between knowledge creation and innovation. Vision for "Innovative Asia 2020"
Young's book (2003): Knowledge Asset Management http://www.amazon.com/Knowledge-Asset-Management-Gregoris-Mentzas/dp/1852335831
Young cites his work on KM in Asia: "From productivity to innovation" www.apo-tokyo.org http://www.apo-tokyo.org/00e-books/IS-34_FromProdToInnovation.htm
Young's books: KM facilitation, tools, case studies, SMEs. Next book: KM in the public sector
How can KM and innovation help realise the vision of ASEAN in the knowledge economy? www.aseansec.org
Dimensions of Knowledge and Innovation – communication, collaboration, processes, creation/innovation
My Q to Young: Is this connected to TRIPS, patenting, etc?
Young: These old instruments are outdated and restrictive, we need a better understanding of the global knowledge economy #KMasia12
Lifecycle, shelflife of saleable knowledge products is becoming much shorter than it used to be
@ShobDecloitre We have to learn to better trade our knowledge, not just share: Ron Young #kmasia12
@giechew Ron Young: http://www.apo-tokyo.org #kmasia12
Countries need to understand competitive collaboration and effectively trade their knowledge assets internally and externally
@snowded Trading model and 'what's in for me' are bad ways to think about knowledge flow. Asset thinking. #kmasia12
5. Ku Yuen Wah, OCBC Bank: Customer Insights
KM is not a common term in our organisation, but we interpret it as using customer insights to design a great customer experience.
"Outside-In thinking" knowledge flow: Acquire, Analyse, Capitalise
Customer-centric innovations: full-service Sunday banking, eAlerts, offsite cheque deposits, experience labs, children-friendly banking on Sundays!
Diary research – analysing customer behaviours ("moment mapping" http://www.beyondphilosophy.com/services/experience-design/moment-mapping)
Amazing insight: customers are much more relaxed on Sundays in our bank branches than on weekdays!
@giechew 5Cs from Ms Ku, OCBC. Customer think, Challenge, Change Mgt, Collaboration, Core to the business #kmasia12
My Q to Ku: What about learning and competitive intelligence? A: We learn from other industries and not from other banks #KMasia12
6. David Galipeau, UNDP: "Knowledge, Innovation and Capacity Approach: Hybrid CoPs in Afghanistan"
UNDP: Empowered lives, Resilient Nations
@ShobDecloitre David Galipeau from @UNDPasiapac presenting at #kmasia12 http://pic.twitter.com/ScOq0WVs
KM used to happen only at the end of a project/cycle. Need to push it to the design phase.
KM has to help governments become inclusive, real-time, integrated (mixed social modes), customer-based
Case studies: KM for government of Thailand, Afghanistan
Knowledge goals: awareness, influence, knowledge sharing, dialogue/outreach
Unfortunately Arab Spring has made many governments afraid of social media and the Internet
UNDP Solution Exchange KM phases of communities – Connect, Grow, Generate Impact
Prototyping can help you bring flexibility into the KM rollout. Focus on results-based sustainability
Focus on communities of practice/experience, not just communities of opinion
Metrics: faster plan-to-action, better response time, increased resilience, challenges identified by scenarios
Indian government has given UNDP a US$1 million to accelerate knowledge sharing for decision-making
7. David Gurteen, Knowledge Cafes
Knowledge cafes are about better understanding, decision making, innovation – and thus tangible outcomes. They can unlock the value of work in organisations.
Theodore Zeldin:
Conversation is a meeting of minds with different memories and habits.
Conversation doesn't just reshuffle the cards: it creates new cards.
When minds meet they don't just exchange facts: they transform them reshape them, draw different implications from them, engage in new trains of thought
David Weinberger:
KM shouldn't just help us know more, but understand better. Through stories, conversation
David Bohm:
Principles of dialogue: welcome and explore differences; slow the discussion; search for underlying meaning; do not judge; listen to your inner voice
Fiji delegate: We have conversations around kava (western Pacific pepper drink)
@ShobDecloitre Just shared the eg of the talanoa around the kava bowl as the Pacific's model of Knowledge Cafe
How to run a Knowledge Café – David Gurteen http://bit.ly/VPKzFJ #KMasia12
In some K-Cafes, the conversations go all over the place, which is fine if as they provoke new or interesting thoughts!
8. David Snowden: Innovation: Managing Your Organisation to a Future You Couldn't Have Predicted
"For the last few decades the 'norm' in management practice has been to define an ideal future state (in numbers, market position, values, etc.) and then attempt to close the gap between the two. A new emerging paradigm in management challenges both the theory and practice of this. Many of the organisations we most admire today have, at key points in their history, muddled through, adapting quickly to changing contexts to arrive at a destination that they could not have anticipated two or three years in advance but which has turned out to be more advantageous. Entrepreneurs seize half understood opportunities with the result that their markets become redefined. Nation states such as Singapore have, in less than 50 years, grown from a fragmented and incoherent 'start up' position to become one of the world's major economic players. Sometimes called managing for serendipity, this new approach to management seeks to create the conditions under which such opportunities can not only be spotted and exploited, but also deliberately and purposefully created."
Service environment is open-ended, as compared to manufacturing. Managers need to be 'contextually aware'
My background is in physics and philosophy – gave me a contempt of social science and a love argument!
Snowden shows example of Thai ingenuity – car owner drives car into huge plastic bag to keep it dry during 2011 floods!
Apple are brilliant at taking at things from other domains/examples and connecting them
@leahdarby In US left & right wing is essentially 2 wings of British right wing (Conservative party) = no left wing, @snowded at #kmasia12
Key to maintain serendipitous open environment during exploration. Purpose, goals, direction are important for exploitation.
Spider web is coherent in general but broken in parts.
System is any network with coherence.
(i) Ordered: system constrains agents (6 Sigma, Waterfall method)
(ii) Chaotic: agents unconstrained and independent of each other (Wisdom of Crowds)
(iii) Complex: system lightly constrains agents; agents modify system by their interaction with it and each other; they co-evolve and enable exaptation
People will share knowledge on their own if the culture is right. You can't 'create' it or 'trade' it
Good example of complex adaptive systems – drivers in Italy and India (but I haven't tried driving in India yet!). Also see the "children's party" metaphor (video)
Problem with KM has been over-engineering. "Centralised cognition"
Build on natural flows and architecture, reinforce the good behaviours and disrupt the others
Simple systems (sense, categorise, respond): Best Practice
Complicated systems (sense, analyse, respond): Good Practice
Complex systems (probe, sense, respond): Emergent
Chaos (act, sense, respond): Novel
Need to absorb complexity rather than reduce it.
Need not just daily reports but regular streams and alerts
Wisdom of crowds is not crowdsourcing. Crowds and herds are different. Crowds are people with deep knowledge; factors: how much do they know of each other's current activities
Kinds of Ideas and their Lifecycle in Organisations:
Unknowable. Unknown. Knowable. Known.
Experiential. Falsifiable. Empirical.
Gut feel. Abductive. Inductive. Deductive.
2 dimensions: level of consensus, level of coherence. From evidence to buy-in. Radical new ideas 'oscillate' in the beginning; later – groupthink. Galileo effect – no one believes your new idea.
You can't train people when the event happens, but before. Need ritual (even dress code), not just niceness.
Complex adaptive systems: highly sensitive to small changes. Proximity and connectivity to the system and agents are key. Fail-safe to safe-to-fail design.
Don't confuse correlation with causation and simulation with prediction.
Hindsight doesn't always lead to foresight
Managing in the 'situated now' – in the here and now. Not in a sanitised past or clear view of the future.
US Army had good knowledge gathering but worst dissemination. Now they are getting better: blogging instead of reading doctrine
Risks of using Twitter – can't be trusted fully due to fake messages and faked IP addresses
CAS are not causal but dispositional. Need to identify outliers also.
KM people have to get strategic fast otherwise they will be fired!
@leahdarby #km not considered essential by 99% of orgs, do it cos every1 else does. get strategic fast, solve real problems instead @snowded #kmasia12
KM should address real world problems, solve operational and strategic issues
Human sensor network, usable databases. Don't ask people for an hour of their time unless they get three hours back
My Q to Snowden: How does this knowledge and innovation flow happen in startups?
A: Startups manage knowledge well because the number of employees is small, they trust each other and communicate often. As they grow, politics (after 15 people) and structure come in, (after 150 employees)
9. David Gurteen: The Power of Positive Deviance: How Unlikely Innovators Solve the World's Toughest Problems (Pascale and Sternins) http://www.amazon.com/Power-Positive-Deviance-Unlikely-Innovators/dp/1422110664
Social innovation: let the community define and frame the problem, and seek and own the solution
If the project is repeated in another community, then start again. Don't give people the solution, let them discover it themselves.
Avoid the concept of best practice – NIH syndrome
Be a catalyst or facilitator, not a consultant selling solutions
It is easier to change behaviour by practicing it rather than being taught about it
Q: This works well when time is on your side, but not under conditions of pressure and time constraints
10. David Ludlow: A Decade of KM – The Schlumberger Journey
KM connections – people to people, communities, information, solutions. Schlumberger has been doing this since 1930
@ShobDecloitre #KM in organisations starts with management commitment: Schlumberger's David Ludlow #kmasia12
KM especially important in orgs where there is a big age gap between large group of retiring experts and new employees
"We need to create companies that learn quickly and do not forget." Andrew Gould, CEO, 2002
KM: Share collective wisdom to make good decisions
KM components: InTouch Support, kPod, SPeedia, BlueTube, Coll@borate
What's hard: including dynamic activities without losing the ease of use and autonomy of self-authoring; keeping older vetted information fresh; pushing right info to right people; deciding balance between standardisation and freedom to be innovative.
Schlumberger KM metrics: knowledge items (tickets and content), views, tickets, logins; reduction in time to resolve tech queries, update engineering modifications
Worldwide survey revealed that many people think some info is old and unusable (response: re-visit info every 3 years at least)
The Hub: Structured Knowledge Portal. Centralise ownership of infrastructure, distribute ownership of content
One Schlumberger, One Customer: CRM system. Rollout and training are critical
Speedia community glossary and encyclopedia (like wiki). People like to share, especially while a contest is being held!
Eureka: CoPs. Source of innovation ideas, white papers, tech roadmaps. Challenge – ensuring that leaders are active and effective
KM challenges: incorporate knowledge of new employees after company acquisition; inter-cultural differences; maintaining the human sensory networks (talent pool shortages)
My Q to Ludlow: How do you share knowledge with partners?
A: There is a clear line. A lot of the knowledge sharing happens in person-to-person meetings, and not online. Info is shared only with committed business partners after a deal is struck
David Gurteen – I wonder why so many speakers in #KM are named David! Me: David and Goliath syndrome?!
11. Ramesh Narayanaswamy, Chief Information Officer, Singapore Post: Transformational Knowledge – Transitioning What Your People Know to Make it Relevant in the New World
"Globally, postal services are at a major crossroads and Singapore Post is no exception. The increase in e-substitution has led to a decrease in the number of letters being sent and, with many banking, government and service functions going digital, the industry is undergoing a major transformation. There is a wealth of knowledge in long-standing employees so the challenge is how this knowledge can be captured, changed and utilised in the new business."
Singapore Post also runs a regional logistics company
It is as important for people and organisations to re-learn and un-learn as to learn on their knowledge journeys
Ramesh shows interesting tag cloud of 'knowledge' – education, links, relevant, media, quality, reputation, social, and "etc!"
Ramesh narrates superb anecdote – his son does not know what is 'digital camera' – all cameras are digital to him, didn't know analogue/Polaroid cameras
KM challenge today: dealing with VUCA – volatility, uncertainty, complexity, ambiguity
Ramesh jokes that he never sends letters, but sent one anyway to see if his postal system works!
Singapore Post has greeting card apps (bringing together people with card + e-card skills)
Ramesh: Belief transformation and habit transformation are key for us in this transitional era
"Motivation is what gets you started. Habit is what keeps you going." Jim Rohn
Very good table discussion on 'the cost of unlearning' in an organisation. And how will massive re-training fare in a blue-collar organisation?
My Q to Ramesh: Will we see the day when mobile operators buy out the postal services of the world?
Ramesh: Unlikely, no one wants to own the last mile! But maybe DHL will buy all the postal services of the world?!
12. Nikita Tete, Vice President, Knowledge Management, Deloitte, India: Social KM at Deloitte
Nikita runs through her life/events/name through numerology!
Social KM at Deloitte: Internal crowdsourcing, corporate presence on external tools, minimising reputation risk
Library view of knowledge (validated knowledge, records, stocks, just-in-case storage) is becoming bazaar view of knowledge (flows, engagement, wisdom of the crowds, engagement, just-in-time access)
Deloitte has full suite of internal social media tools (on SharePoint): DeloitteNet, DStreet ("one degree of separation"), EdgeFolio (blogging), Deloitte Media Portal (team sites), D.Think (crowdsourcing innovative ideas – Innovation Quests), YamJams (microblog discussions). Mobility: 49,900 mobile devices supported (as of Sep 2012).
Nice visual: ring of inter-locked safety pins
CEO has supported our external presence on all social media. We were named as one of Top 5 B2B companies by OneForty
@LifeAtDeloitte talks about a day in the life of a Deloitte professional. There are 12 Deloitte US Twitter handles
Facebook: Deloitte University reaches experience hires. Green Room – talent advisors
Managing social media risks: Social Media Working Grooup – NDAs, regulations/guidelines, moderation dashboard. Mix of talent, KM, risk, innovation, brand, IT
We have a mandatory social media e-learning course, supplemented with guidance and policies. Required within 90 days of joining
Deloitte's KM journey with social media continues: learning, streamlining, integrating
Gen N or Gen C – networked/connected, very open to sharing knowledge. These are lucky times for KM
Table discussion: what is a good metaphor for a KM system? Library, bazaar, cafe, jazz
My Q to Nikita: Do you have restrictions on what hours are permissible for social media usage in the office?
A: No, but there are guidelines on what topics are off limits, tone of voice to use.
13. Pee L.G., Assistant Professor, Tokyo Institute of Technology, Japan: Encouraging Knowledge Contribution in Organisations
Knowledge contribution by employees is an important basis for other value-adding KM activities such as knowledge reuse and knowledge creation. This presentation discusses the findings of an academic study addressing questions such as:
Are monetary rewards more effective than intrinsic rewards in encouraging knowledge contribution?
How can we design jobs to facilitate knowledge contribution?
Do organisational values matter in promoting knowledge contribution?
Some suggestions for fostering an organisational environment conducive to knowledge contribution will be provided.
Q&A: Refer to the book 'Drive: The Surprising Truth About What Motivates Us' by Daniel H. Pink http://www.amazon.com/Drive-Surprising-Truth-About-Motivates/dp/1594484805
14. David Yeo, Senior Project Officer, Training and Doctrine Command (TRADOC), and Research Fellow, Institute for Adult Learning (IAL), Singapore: 21st Century Military Learning
At the turn of the 21st Century, there is a paradigm shift occurring in human and knowledge capital development efforts, driven by social-cultural-economic and technological imperatives. This change is particularly pertinent for the military, where the human dimension is key to operational success. This talk will explore how the Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) has developed a learning transformation masterplan powered by an ambitious organisation-wide Learning Network (LEARNet) programme. Your speaker will share with you how SAF has studied similar efforts by organisations such as Singapore's Ministry of Education and the US military, to develop a unique interpretation so that it can become a "Learning SAF" with "Thinking Warriors". Finally, the talk will give a glimpse into the future of knowledge and learning, with specific applications for the government sector.
KM has to be tied to personal growth and development, organisational leadership – not just performance improvement
Paradigm shift: story first, then parts; trainers are also learners; learning should be not just effective and efficient but also engaging
"The state that separates its scholars from its warriors will have its thinking done by cowards, and its fighting by fools." ? Thucydides
Digital learning can make manuals come alive. AR, mobiles. Workplace learning at time of need. "Learn faster, fight better"
SAF LEARNet: Learning transformation: methods and processes + belief, attitudes and competencies
Focus on results, not just details. "It's the outcome, idiot!"
There are three sides of the coin. Heads, tails, the side! Don't ignore the human side!
My Q to David: How different is Gen Next in the armed forces?
A: They have different learning behaviours. Weakness – they talk more online than face to face, even when sitting next to each other! We must allow this culture to exist in the workplace. Collaboration is good, but they need to know which things they cannot say.
15. Mukund Prasad, Director – Group HR, Business Transformation and Group CIO, Welspun Group, India
"Overcoming the Barriers to Implementing Knowledge Management in a Manufacturing Organisation"
Is KM isolated today? Why is KM not seen as strategic in many organisations? Why did it become just another tool or jargon? KM needs repositioning, should it need another name in that case?
Organisations lose their relevance when the pace of internal change lags the pace of external change.
KM capacity – passion, creativity, initiative; expertise, diligence, obedience. Intrinsic motivation is more important than external/hygiene factors. Intrinsic rewards matter the most.
People want to find meaning in their work. Underdevelopment, underutilisation and ineffective management are key problems
Employees are dissatisfied not because work sucks but management blows
The Internet has accelerated self-formation of groups, networking among dissenters
My Q to Mukund: How to go beyond extrinsic to intrinsic motivation?
A: Need to go beyond cost structures, KRAs. Cost is not the best way of managing an organisation, though we have been trained to do that
16. AW Siew Hoong (ASH), Knowledge Management Advisor, Shell Global Solutions, Malaysia
Case Study: Maximising the Value of Lessons Learnt
"Lessons learnt is a KM tool that is commonly used, across many organisations, but, since 2009, the KM team at Shell has reinvented lessons learnt to be more than just an online database. Elements from structured interviews, technology, and people engagement are combined to make the lessons learnt more human and business relevant. The pilot project for this new, improved lessons learnt process has already contributed USD 100 million of savings and cost avoidance to the bottom line. In fact, the valuating of lessons learned is also a cornerstone of the new lessons learnt process."
Barriers to KM: info not relevant, tools too cumbersome, not enough time to 'do KM'
@ShobDecloitre "If you want teams to do KM, do it for them 1st, show the value": ASH, KM Adviser Shell Global Solutions, Malaysia #kmasia12 & I agree!
Knowledge is expensive to capture but cheaper to re-apply!
Measuring RoI on lessons learnt: we improvised, and measured how much risk was avoided
Day Two of #KM Asia 2012 wraps up; see my updated tweetnotes at http://km.techsparks.com #KMasia12
Workshops tomorrow: CALM programme (a mashup of Complexity, Agile and Lean) by Dave Snowden; Knowledge Cultures by – me! www.KMasia.com #KMasia12

More About Flexible Flyer
Back in 1861, Henry Morton married Lucilla Forbes and the young couple started making sleds in their home. Henry constructed the sleds by hand and his wife decorated them. Their son, Will, an accomplished artist, distinguished himself as a sled painter, specializing in water scenes and scrolls. Hand-decorated sleds today are much sought after by collectors, but the originals were probably meant to ensure that each sled would be a childs prized possession.
During the early 1900s, when each sled was made by hand, the company employed close to 300 workers. It continued in operation as a family business, still employing 200 workers, until the family gave up ownership in 1970s and sold to Gladding Corporation. In 1978, Hank Morton, great-grandson of the founder, headed a group of investors that purchased the company back from Gladding.
Today, Hank and his sons, Ted and Tom, are continuing the family tradition in the sled business with Paricon. The sled line has evolved to include a wide assortment of products for winter use - sleds, including steel runner and plastic models at various price points; snowboards; foam sliders; inflatable tubes; wooden toboggans and snow toys.

The sordid tale coming to a conclusion inside the Philadelphia courtroom where abortionist Kermit Gosnell is on trial for murdering six people is as strange as the stories being written about the case.
The mainstream media ignored the trial until called out by a handful of journalists and hundreds of thousands of people on Twitter. Now even the most pro-abortion members of the media finally are paying attention to the Gosnell atrocities, but are laying the blame for his horrific alleged crimes at the feet of the pro-life movement. According to one over-reaching report, Rick Santorum is personally at fault for not knowing what went on inside the Women's Medical Society. That claim is ridiculous. Since when does a U.S. senator at any given moment know the goings on of each any every business in his or her state? How much does N.Y Sen. Schumer know about A1 Medicine in Queens, where Alexandra Nunez died in 2010? How much does N.J. Sen. Frank Lautenberg know about Metropolitan Medical Associates in Englewood, where investigators found a rusty crochet hook and a quarter-inch of dirt on the floor in 2007?
Pro-lifers, the new narrative goes, should have known what Gosnell was up to because they have had a steady presence outside what the Philadelphia District Attorney's office has described as a "house of horrors." They should have gotten the inside scoop from the women coming out of the clinic. They should have reported what they knew.
Anyone who has spent time doing sidewalk counseling outside a clinic knows that a woman who has just had an abortion is not going to stop to talk. Once she walks out those doors, she's already headed into an ironclad denial that can last for years, decades even. Those lucky enough to walk out of Gosnell's clinic likely were in shock as well.
Also, as the Grand Jury report makes absolutely clear, Gosnell's patients, former employees and many others did try to report what they saw and heard, but Pennsylvania wasn't listening. According to the Grand Jury report, "We think the reason no one acted is because the women in question were poor and of color, because the victims were infants without identities, and because the subject was the political football of abortion."
Pro-aborts also are claiming that pro-lifers' insistence on clinic regulations and oversight is forcing facilities out of business and leaving women with fewer – and poorer — choices. The truth is that no Pennsylvania clinics closed after new regulations went into effect last summer as a result of the Gosnell mess, but most of them did have to spend money on renovations and new equipment purchases to bring them up to par with other ambulatory surgical facilities. The fact that clinics were unlicensed, uninspected and staffed with untrained people until 2012 is the fault of pro-abortion ideologues, as the Grand Jury report makes absolutely clear.
".. the Pennsylvania Department of Health abruptly decided, for political reasons, to stop inspecting abortion clinics at all. The politics in question were not anti-abortion, but pro. With the change of administration from Governor [Bob] Casey to Governor [Tom] Ridge, officials concluded that inspections would be "putting a barrier up to women" seeking abortions. Better to leave clinics to do as they pleased, even though, as Gosnell proved, that meant both women and babies would pay."
Clinic regulations are opposed by NARAL, Planned Parenthood and other pro-abortion groups wherever and whenever they are proposed because they know that many facilities would not be able to pass inspection. Think about that for a minute; they put women's lives at risk in sub-par facilities for the sake of keeping abortion widely accessible. The laws in most states protect animals in veterinary clinics while women are left to abortion clinics with little or no regulations.
In addition, even when there are some regulations the problem is that federal, state and local governments fail to enforce the regulations until you have a "House of Horrors" finally uncovered!
Make no mistake, there are other abortionists working in conditions that are just as appalling, and babies born alive being murdered like those whose "fetal demise" Gosnell is accused of ensuring, despite clinic regulations and laws like the federal Infants Born Alive Act, which spells out in no uncertain terms that a "fetus" who survives an abortion is an American citizen with the same rights, and expectation of live-saving care, as you and I.
What's missing across the board, from clinic oversight to infants born alive to hazardous waste disposal, is enforcement. Gosnell could not have gotten away with what he is alleged to have done for so long if even the lackluster laws on the books were enforced. Think about it for a minute, speed limit signs would be meaningless if it weren't for the threat of the highway patrol giving out tickets. Laws are only as good as the government willing to enforce them.
Pro-aborts, who can't bear to have an unkind word uttered about abortion, have an obvious reason not to insist on enforcement. But from this moment on, we pro-lifers have to be vigilant, proactive and insistent to ensure that no one ever again suffers the fate of Karnamaya Mongar and the seven unnamed babies Gosnell is charged with killing. Never again.

'08 Senior Health Digest finds less trust in Rx ads
Eisai unveiled its 2008 Senior Health Digest at the Academy of Managed Care Pharmacy's 20th Annual Meeting & Showcase, in April. Data included in the digest ranges from satisfaction levels with Medicare and healthcare professionals, to computer usage among seniors (up 19% since 2005) and levels of trust regarding pharmaceutical drug information vehicles.
According to the data, US seniors 65 years and older reported a lesser degree of trust in pharmaceutical advertisements in 2008 than in 2006. Respondents younger than 65, or "non-seniors," say they trust advertising to a greater degree in 2008. Responses to the survey question, "How much do you trust each source of information on medications?" were measured by Likert scale, with five being the "most trusted" and one being "least trusted." Among seniors and non-seniors, the internet received a higher mean trust score than newspapers or television; seniors trust newspapers and television less than non-seniors.
The digest was created for Eisai by Pinnacle Health Communications, a marketing communications firm, and the project was overseen by Lisa Welford, RPh, CGP, VP, clinical product development. The digest seeks to promote senior healthcare initiatives for long-term care. It also provides research to be used in professional marketing materials, according to Jack Huber, sales director at Pinnacle.

Julian Barry
|Julian Barry
|Screenwriter, playwright, author, theatre director
|Years active
|Sheila Ann Shulman (1955-divorced; 1 child)
Laura Ziskin (1978-divorced; 1 child)
Julian Barry (born 1930) is an American screenwriter and playwright best known for his Oscar-nominated script for the film Lenny about comedian Lenny Bruce, which Barry adapted from his successful Broadway play of the same name. The film, directed by Bob Fosse and starring Dustin Hoffman and Valerie Perrine, was nominated for the so-called Oscar Grand Slam, one of some 40 films to be so honored.
Barry wrote or rewrote screenplays for several notable films including The River starring Mel Gibson and Sissy Spacek, Eyes of Laura Mars starring Faye Dunaway and Tommy Lee Jones, and Rhinoceros, starring Zero Mostel and Gene Wilder, Me, Myself and I, starring George Segal and Jobeth Williams, and the American Playhouse production for PBS A Marriage - Georgia O'Keeffe and Alfred Stieglitz starring Christopher Plummer and Jane Alexander. He is also appearing as himself in the film documentary Pablo, about the graphic artist and film director Pablo Ferro.
His autobiography My Night With Orson was published in 2011 and is available on Amazon.
Barry resides in Redding, Connecticut, but is frequently in London for theater work. He is not to be confused with the English singer/songwriter of the same name.
Early life
Barry was born in 1930 and raised in Riverdale, the North Bronx.[1] He played saxophone for his high school band, and traveled to jazz clubs in New York City to hear jazz performed by Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gillespie, Miles Davis, Thelonious Monk and John Coltrane.[2]
After high school, Barry attended Syracuse University in Syracuse, New York, where he majored in drama and performed in university productions with comedian Jerry Stiller.[1] During the Korean War he was drafted into the Army and served until 1953.
Early career
Barry was cast in the 1955 Orson Welles production of King Lear at New York City Center theater. He continued working on Broadway as an actor in the musical Shinbone Alley, where he was also stage manager, He also stage managed the Budd Schulberg treatment of The Disenchanted, about the real life adventures of F. Scott Fitzgerald. He stage managed seven other Broadway productions, appearing as an actor in several of them as well, and he worked in the Broadway theatre in this capacity through the mid sixties when he started writing full-time.
In 1969, Barry was hired by Columbia Pictures to write the screenplay for Lenny. The prospects for the project were reportedly harmed by the commercial success of Love Story, having created a demand for romantic films, which Lenny certainly was not. Barry suggested to theatre director Tom O'Horgan, who was fresh from his success with the musical Hair, that the Lenny screenplay be redone as a play and the play was a hit starring Cliff Gorman.
At the 50th Academy Awards in 1974, Lenny was honored with nominations in all five categories that constitute the Oscar Grand Slam, including a nomination for Best Adapted Screenplay for Barry.[3] He was also nominated that year for a Writers Guild of America Award for Best Drama Adapted from Another Medium, as well as a Jeff Award for his directorial efforts on the Lenny stage show in Chicago.[4]
In 1983, Barry wrote the book for Jean Seberg, a musical biography of the American actress and political activist who committed suicide in Paris in 1979. The production was directed by Peter Hall at the National Theatre of Britain with music by Marvin Hamlisch. Later he co-authored an opera with Peter Hall, Born Again at the Chichester Festival Theatre in England starring Mandy Patinkin and José Ferrer.
Barry continues to enjoy considerable success and is able to be selective about the projects on which he works. He ventured back into opera writing the libretto for Zyklon, an opera about the life of German-Jewish scientist Fritz Haber. The music was composed by the British composer Peter King.
Personal life
Barry was divorced from the film producer Laura Ziskin who died in 2011. They have a daughter Julia who was born in 1983. Three children from a previous marriage all reside in New England.
An enthusiastic jazz trumpet player, Barry plays with a band in his town of Redding, Connecticut, where he has resided since 2001. Considering himself more or less "retired" he still continues to write.

New Employee Departmental Orientation
Each of the objectives listed should be addressed for your orientation to be effective. Prioritize them in order of importance to your department.
Welcome new employees, relieve their anxieties, and make them feel comfortable. What special things can you do to make new employees feel comfortable, welcome and secure? How can you encourage a spirit of inquiry in new employees?
- Place a "welcome" card in the new employee's desk.
- Make yourself available most of the first day.
- Plan to have lunch with the new employee and other staff.
- Put a name marker at the work space (even if just a paper one).
- Have the workplace cleaned and stocked with supplies.
Inspire new employees with a good attitude toward IU and the new job. What impressions do you want a new employee to have? How can you instill the desired work attitudes?
- Fellow employees play a key role in developing work attitudes. Have the new employee work with a "mentor" or "buddy." Be certain the mentor demonstrates the behaviors you appreciate and the performance you expect. Choose mentors who are patient with beginners, and are positive, personable, and clear communicators.
- Arrange for the employee to attend an HR orientation, if available on your campus, to become more acquainted with the IU community.
Confirm the employee's decision to join IU and your department. Have you ever taken a job where you knew from the very start that you made a good decision or that the job wasn't going to work out? What factors influenced your impressions? How can you confirm a new employee's decision?
- Clearly communicate job responsibilities and office culture during the interview.
- Describe a "typical day" for the position during the interview.
- Give the employee a sense of accomplishment and importance on day one.
- Give an assignment that can be completed on the first day.
- Spend time discussing how this position is critical to the success of the department.
- Have a "welcome" party.
- Recognize that an employee's decision to stay in or leave a new job is largely influenced by first impressions.
Acquaint new employees with departmental goals, policies, and unwritten rules or customs. What key policies and unwritten rules must a new employee know so as not to make embarrassing mistakes on days one through five? Examples include:
- dress "code"
- use of titles or first names
- arrival and departure times
- scheduling of lunch time
- standard phone greeting
- introduction to supervisors, managers, or administrators
- use of equipment, phone, or e-mail for personal use
- location of restrooms, break room, vending machines, or coffee pot
- practice of eating or drinking at the desk
- custom regarding open or shut doors and
- appropriate office decorations.
Communicate expectations and responsibilities to new employees. Write out your responses to the following questions.
- What specific expectations do you have for new employees?
- How can you communicate your expectations during the recruiting and hiring process?
- How can you communicate your expectations the first day? The first week?
Ensure new employees are familiar with the following:
- Emergency Action Plan and other building safety information such as evacuation routes and locations of fire exits, extinguishers, and alarm stations.
- Policy on Sexual Misconduct
- Policy on Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Rights
Supervisors are responsible for applying campus-specific procedures for reporting sexual harassment and for requesting an accommodation.

This review contains spoilers.
Though Paramount officially lifted the veil of secrecy surrounding "Cloverfield" back in January, there are still plenty of mysteries left for the DVD to solve. While fanboys would likely storm the shelves of their local retailer regardless of whether or not the DVD contained any special features, this jam-packed single-disc Standard Edition has more than enough extras to satisfy fans' insatiable appetite for any and all info pertaining to "Cloverfield."
When its trailer first premiered in front of last summer's "Transformers," the untitled pic was billed onscreen as "from producer J.J. Abrams," but the "Cloverfield" DVD reveals director Matt Reeves as the man pulling the strings behind the curtain. The helmer handles his own audio commentary track like a seasoned pro, and though there are points where Abrams' input would be much appreciated, if only to lend the listen a little back-and-forth.
Reeves is a more-than-capable storyteller whose informative anecdotes shed significant light on the secretive production. Although the media never gave Reeves the credit he deserved for "Cloverfield," a potentially-classic monster movie as well as a truly original love story, it doesn't seem to have bothered the director one bit, as his enthusiasm for the project is downright infectious.
Other featurettes such as "I Saw It! It's Alive! It's Huge!" and "Document 1.18.08: The Making of Cloverfield" gather Reeves' main collaborators to discuss their vital contributions to the film, including cinematographer Michael Bonvillain, editor Kevin Stitt, production designer Martin Whist, lead creature designer Neville Page and several animators and compositors from VFX post-house Tippett Studio.
The three-and-a-half minutes worth of deleted scenes spend the majority of the time with Hud (T.J. Miller), the cameraman who serves as the audience's point of view. There's additional footage of Hud soliciting testimonials from Rob's (Michael Stahl-David) friends at his farewell party, with Miller riffing alongside "Felicity" thesp Brian Klugman about advice for acquiring hentai porn in Japan.
Some of Drew Goddard's screenplay's humor was left on the cutting room floor when it didn't fit tonally with the scene, including some innocent flirtation in the subway between Hud and Marlena (Lizzy Caplan) and a brief scene exploring the bond between Marlena and Lily (Jessica Lucas).
The highly-anticipated alternate endings are sadly overhyped, as not that much has really changed from the original ending. In the first, the film ends as Rob and Beth (Odette Yustman) run through a train station as they giddily anticipate the fun of going to Coney Island. In the second, we get a brief glimpse of a man (the actual camera operator) finding Rob's camera and wiping dirt off its lens. Ultimately Reeves ditched the idea because he wanted people to focus on the young couple's profession of love for each other rather than have the audience spend the last few moments of the film trying to decipher what happened to them and whether or not they were rescued.
In his commentary, Reeves casually notes how Steven Spielberg provided a faint whiff of resolution when he suggested the audience needs to know the fate of the monster. This led to the idea of the military countdown and the air sirens signaling Central Park as a blast zone. The director also credits Abrams for the last line in the film, "I had a good day," which lends the proceedings a certain sad irony.
A gag reel of outtakes dubbed "Clover Fun" features more of Miller cracking up his costars and a plethora of party extras as they pantomime having a good time. In one, a crewmember interrupts a take as he returns from a coffee break. We also get an uncooperative lamppost that falls in slo-mo.
On the tech end, the disc's transfer is excellent and its sharp contrast provides a pristine picture that doesn't take away from the film's authentic homevid feeling. (If the handheld camerawork makes some viewers nauseous, at least they can take comfort in the pause button and knowing their bathrooms are in close proximity.)
Sound effects are appropriately loud, sometimes to the detriment of the dialogue, but then again, who cares what the characters are shouting about? You just want to see stuff blow up, right?
The lack of any score may rile movie music buffs but their patience is rewarded with Michael Giacchino's "Roar!" a terrific overture that plays over the nearly 10-minute long end credit sequence.
Previews include Abrams' "Star Trek" and "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull," though anyone even remotely interested in either of those blockbusters has surely already seen them.
Sadly, there is no teaser for "Cloverfield 2" though the prospect of a sequel is all but assured. While a double-dip Special Edition wouldn't surprise anyone, Paramount has done an excellent job stuffing the single-disc release with worthwhile bonus features that should have no problem luring hardcore monster movie fans and enticing curious customers who may have skipped the film on the bigscreen.
Bonus fact: The production shot under several mysterious aliases including "Cheese" and "Slusho" and while Internet reports ran wild with theories about the film's real title, Reeves and co. toyed with the idea of naming it "Greyshot" after the arch in Central Park that Rob and Beth take cover under during the climax, where Rob's camera would presumably have been found. However, once the public came to know the film as "Cloverfield," they decided they'd stick with it.

Move over, vampire TV shows and zombie dramas, because here comes one of the most classic horror stories ever told: Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde. NBC has just ordered Do No Harm, a new drama series based on that classic tale, and we already have our first look at the series.
Do No Harm is described as a new medical drama starring Rescue Me's Steven Pasquale, but it's not gonna be House and it's not gonna be ER, because this show has a neat little twist to it.
See, the dude's a neurosurgeon who has a Jekyll-and-Hyde personality. Yep. He's Dr. Jeffery Kohl by day but goes by Ian Price when his Hyde personality comes out, and his Hyde alter ego will (of course) wreak havoc on both his personal and professional life.
It's not the first time Robert Louis Stevenson's Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde has been adapted for a modern audience in a modern setting: Doctor Who and Sherlock showrunner Steven Moffat already did it with the superb Jekyll back in 2007, which starred James Nesbitt in a brillantly chilling, dual performance.
Will NBC's Do No Harm be anything like to Moffat's Jekyll? Guess we'll find out this fall, since NBC has ordered a full-on season. Will you be watching?

Black Magic Wedge Announces its Revolutionary Pitching Wedge as One of the Most Versatile and Affordable Wedges
Nationwide (PRWEB) October 17, 2013
The traditional degree for a pitching wedge is 48 degrees, but they can be found as low as 44 degrees by some manufacturers.
Some golfers may consider the best pitching wedge to be the one that offers the most yardage for full shots. In this case, the 44 degree club would be the answer. The most beneficial tip for shooting lower scores is to have even spaces between all clubs, at about 4 degrees.
Understanding that the short game is full of different yardages from all lie points, means that the lie will determine what club will be used to reach the green several times instead of just aiming for distance. You may be able to hit a pitching wedge 100 yards from a convenient lie, however, from a bad lie, you may need a 9 iron. What will be the most helpful activity to choose the right club for the course is to practice hitting the same yardage from different types of lies.
Reading pitching wedge reviews about how much yardage can be achieved with a particular club is not going to be enough, there will always be more shots within the short game that require skills rather than power. Possessing the right wedge that provides total confidence with will prove to be invaluable.
Blade Runner Golf, Inc. has developed a set of Black Magic Wedges that includes a 48 degree pitching wedge. These wedges offer many advantages to players with a hybrid body that has a low center of gravity which will naturally get the ball up much faster along with a zero degree bounce angle at impact. This means that this wedge will dig into all surfaces, but as the club moves forward it will ride on a continual bounce angle. Players can sweep the ball off the turf rather than try to pinch the ball perfectly and thus can acquire excellent results. Black Magic Wedges are also shank proof which allows a player to lay the face open for those short shots that need fast lift and exceptional stopping power with total confidence.
Blade Runner Golf, Inc. is a company devoted to the notion that a golfer's short game can make all the difference in his or her final score—but you can take your short game to the next level only if you have the right equipment. Black Magic's hybrid wedges Conform to USGA rules, but also helps golf enthusiasts find new precision and power as they make their way onto the putting green.

The MJAA's Joseph Project
A staggering 1.7 million Israelis live below the poverty line, making Israel one of the countries with the highest poverty rates of all the developed nations in the world. And because of terrorism and threats from neighboring nations, much of Israel's resources are used for national defense. This leaves few social services to help the poor and needy. This is where we make a difference.
The MJAA's Joseph Project is the number one distributor of humanitarian aid in Israel and has distributed approximately $100 million in aid to Israelis in need. The MJAA collects, ships, and distributes clothing, furniture, household goods, medical supplies and other life-saving aid each year. We distribute this aid through our growing network of over 40 independent relief centers and ministries that proclaim the Good News. We have also partnered with over 100 private and government organizations in Israel. These include the Israel Defense forces, welfare offices, hospitals, shelters, youth facilities, orphanages, rehab centers, computer learning centers, congregations, soup kitchens, nursing homes, and other social service centers where those in poverty go for help. Many government officials consider "The Joseph Project" to be a trusted resource for the people of Israel, because of our abilities, leadership, and track record. Together, we are Jew and Gentile, one in Messiah, working together for the spiritual and physical restoration of Israel.

Who is Hope for Sderot
Hope for Sderot was established in 2008 as a Humanitarian Aid organization to help the people of Sderot. Fourteen years of rocket attacks from terrorists in Gaza have left this small town damaged in so many ways as the people continue to live with the ongoing daily trauma of never knowing when the next rocket will come, or where it will land.
Many, who could afford to leave, have left, taking many of the jobs with them, leaving unemployment and a lack of employment opportunities. For many families that leaves them without enough to eat. For those who have been Injured by the rockets attacks , their ability to work, as well as the physical and mental effects have changed their lives dramatically and will last a lifetime.
With dignity, respect, and unconditional love it is our mission to bring awareness to the plight of the people of Sderot, and help for those who have been injured by Kassam rockets by supplying food, clothing, financial aid, education scholarships and other much needed assistance.
We are not run or operated by any religious organization, nor are we affiliated with any missionary or religious groups. We do, however, welcome and accept donations from anyone who wants to help the residents of Sderot who have been the target of well over 6000 terrorist rocket attacks.
It is reported often that we suffer from PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) But that is far from the truth because there is nothing "Post" about the ongoing, daily, 24/7, 365 days a year threat that has been going on for the past 15 years.
Among the worst hurt victims of the past 15 years are the children. For any child born after 2001 they do not know what it is like to live without the sound of "Tseva Adom" piercing the air at all hours of the day and night or the threat of a Kassam rocket coming through your bedroom.
We are a non-profit organization recognized by the IRS as a 501c3 and with a total volunteer staff; we distribute 92% of all donations to the people of Sderot. All donations are tax deductible.

Yes, he had the most page views of any of the other men. I don't know if it was because people did not know who he was or they did and had to see him but the difference in page views was staggering.

I've had limited experience with both Mixx and Sphinn. To this point most of my social media traffic to this blog has come from StumbleUpon (although I have added a Sphinn button on a few posts in the past). Last week I had a post on the front page of Sphinn and Mixx at the sane time, so I thought it would be interesting to compare the results of each.
The Thrill Seeker vs. the Bookworm was on the front page of Sphinn and The Role of Social Media in a New Blog Launch was on the front page of Mixx.
Over a five day period, Sphinn sent 58 visitors to the post that was on the front page (and a few random visitors to other posts during the same time period). Those visitors stayed on the site for an average of 1 minute and 1 second with an 80% bounce rate. I've had other posts on Sphinn before from my primary blog that drew significantly more visitors. Part of this lower number could have been the result of an ineffective title or description on Sphinn, I think it's also important to note that a Sphinn button was used on this post (I thought it would be a good fit for that audience), so many of the votes could have come from readers on the blog rather than Sphinn users that clicked-through from the front page (although votes did just about double after it was on the front page).
Over the same five day period, Mixx sent only 18 visitors to the post that was on the front page, despite the fact that it received 27 votes. I would think that a submission receiving 27 votes would get at least that many visits, but that wasn't the case. Those visitors stayed on the site an average of 47 seconds and the bounce rate was 73%. This post had no button for Mixx votes (although that could be done through the Share This plugin).
I submitted the post that went to the front page of Sphinn, but I did not submit the other post to Mixx. I was actually browsing the popular items at Mixx when I was surprised to see my own post there.
Overall, I was a bit disappointed with the results to both of these posts considering they were on the front page. I know Sphinn has potential to send more traffic, so like I said earlier, maybe I need to do a better job of grabbing attention with the title and description. I have had a number of other posts on the front page of Mixx, although it has been a little while, and I have never seen any kind of traffic to get excited about. Of course, Mixx is still relatively new, so hopefully that will improve.
I think it's also important to note a key difference between Mixx and Sphinn. Mixx is a general news site and Sphinn is a niche site that targets SEO and internet marketing. As a result, the traffic from Sphinn should be a bit more targeted.
The average time on the site and the bounce rate were poor from both sources as well. This is something I expect from social media traffic, but I have had much better numbers in these areas from other social media sites. I have some changes in mind to the design and layout of the blog to attempt to improve this situation.
I plan to use these two sites a bit more than I have been and see if I can improve upon these results. Just because the numbers aren't high doesn't mean they didn't make an impact. Just having the exposure and getting a few new visitors is a positive outcome in my opinion.
What's Your Experience?
What have you seen from your experience with Sphinn and Mixx?

Gross Margins increased from 58.8% in 2008, to 64.4% in 2009 primarily because of sales mix in favour of higher margin products.
The Company incurred a loss of ($260,556) in 2009 compared to a loss of ($287,892) in 2008. This loss is predominantly due to a decrease in sales of Canadian Protect-It® and investments in pharmaceutical operations.

These pharmaceuticals will compete in both the branded and generic market segments and will not require further product development investment other than regulatory costs.

HOUSTON, June 19 (UPI) — The Houston Astros and the top overall 2013 draft pick, Stanford pitcher Mark Appel, have agreed to a contract, the team announced Wednesday.
No financial details were released, but the Houston Chronicle reported Appel will receive a $6.35 million signing bonus after the right-hander turned down $3.8 million from Pittsburgh last year.
Instead of signing with the Pirates, the Houston native returned to Stanford for his senior year, where he compiled a 10-4 mark with a 2.12 ERA and 130 strikeouts over 106 1/3 innings.

Hi everyone.
I need extension or component that calculates network ip subnets to be used in a kind of firewall.
I want to put some network in configuration like "192.168.0.1/24" or "192.168.0.1/255.255.255.0", for instance, and when someone comes with ip 192.168.0.22, it should define that client's ip belongs to this subnet and then do action I want.
Are there any ready solutions, or at least ip calculator for Yii?
Thank you in advance.

Special equipment: 1 cup wood chips, soaked for at least 2 hours
Whisk the rice vinegar, canola oil, lime juice, orange juice, ancho, paprika, cinnamon, allspice, chile de arbol, ground cloves and garlic in a bowl.
Place the chicken pieces on a large baking dish. Pour the vinegar mixture over the chicken and rub it into each piece of chicken. Cover the chicken and refrigerate for at least 4 hours and up to 8 hours. Remove the chicken from the refrigerator 30 minutes before grilling.
Remove the chicken from the vinegar mixture and place on a baking sheet.
Heat a grill for indirect grilling. Add the wood chips to the coals or to a box and place on the gas briquettes. Close the grill cover and heat the grates, about 10 minutes.
Place the chicken over the direct heat, skin-side down. Grill the chicken until golden brown and slightly charred, about 5 minutes. Flip the chicken and cook 5 minutes longer. Move the chicken to the cooler part of the grill, close the grill cover and continue grilling until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the chicken registers 160 degrees F for white meat and 165 degrees F for dark meat, about 15 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a platter and loosely tent with foil.
After 5 minutes of rest, serve the chicken with the Grilled Corn, Black Bean and Quinoa Relish.
Bring 1 cup water to a boil in a small pot over medium heat. Add 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper and stir in the quinoa. Cover the pot and cook until the quinoa is tender and the water is absorbed, about 15 minutes. Remove the pot from the heat and let sit covered. Fluff the quinoa with a fork and transfer to a large bowl.
Heat the grill to high for direct grilling. Brush the green onions with the canola oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill the onions until soft and slightly charred, about 2 minutes each side. Remove the onions from the grill and coarsely chop.
Stir the corn, beans, olive oil and lime juice in a bowl. Add the quinoa and chopped green onions. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Keep the relish at room temperature for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld. Stir in the cilantro and oregano and serve.

As the first comprehensive and authoritative review of intra-seasonal variability (ISV), this multi-author work balances coverage of observation, theory and modeling and provides a single source of reference for all those interested in this important, multi-faceted natural phenomenon and its relation to major short-term climatic variations. Commencing with an overview of ISV and observations from an historical perspective, the book offers successive chapters that deal with the role of ISV in monsoon variability on the monsoon regions of South Asia, East Asia and South America, in North America, and in the oceans. The coupling between ocean and atmosphere is considered, together with the function of angular momentum and Earth rotation. Later chapters deal with modeling ISV in the atmosphere and oceans, and the connection between the Madden and Julian Oscillations, and El Nino/Southern Oscillation with short-term climate are considered.A dierent mechanism that could explain the formation of convection and the eastward movement was ``wind-induced surface heat exchangea#39;a#39; (WISHE) ( Emanual, 1987; Neelin et al., 1987).

Oh my Gawd! The news has already shook the entire Big Boss House. Doston dil thaam ke baithiye, this week's luxury budget task is going to make Gautam the 'Dictator' of the city of our times! I am sure this must be designed to aggravate some more fire already inside the house. No one in the house can stand Gautam, even his friends at times.This announcement certainly was a mirchi moment for all. I still remember their expressions which screamed "What the hell"!
So as per the 'Gautam City' task, Gautam being the captain would rule the house like a King or a Dictator with his own special room, two personal bodyguards or attendants. When Bigg Boss asked Male or Female, he chose Dimpy and Puneet. Under his rule during the task, nobody would sit in the same room where he is present until he orders and Nobody can call him by his name but 'Your Majesty' or 'Your Highness'only! Whoever wants to send a message would communicate only through Puneet or Dimpy. And what about punishment? So, whoever has to be punished would have their hands locked with handcuffs or they could be even refrained from getting food.
The temperaments of all housemates had already started rocketing as Karishma read out the letter. There were four faces that frowned. * Rofl * But I only imagined what must be going on inside Big Boss's mind when he thought of introducing the task? Did he have enough from the housemates begrudging Gautam all the time? Hmm Quite possible. But definitely a task which would add more and more fuel to the fire!
But the sight of garden area was incredible with Gautam's posters all around. In fact, they had installed a statue of him; that too shirtless!
A lot is going to happen today in the house. Wouldn't you like to watch yourself?
