I don't think everyone at the UN agrees and although the concept of the UN is ideal, I have less and less faith in them as time goes on. The western nations have more pull than any other represented country. If the UN is supposed to be a true representation of the member states, then all member states should be represented equally.
So what exactly has you so convinced that a preemptive war against Iran is the best way forward? You seem to label Iran as the bad guys yet you are the one calling for war. I don't mean to make assumptions but I don't understand your position - please enlighten me.

Blowing up a nuclear facility would indeed cause widespread radioactive contamination, especially if a reactor was damaged. Chernobyl and Fukushima are testament to that.
There is only one way to avoid that, imo, and that would be a ground assault with troops cutting the facilities off from Iranian control. If there's to be a war, it needs to be quick, professional and decisive. Maybe that is why the west has been slow in actually going ahead with the operation, while telling Israel to back off with its threats.
Repercussions should be expected.
The impact to Canada if Israel attacks Iran:
Gas prices would soar
An Israeli attack on Iran will inevitably lead to a retaliation.
An Israeli attack against Iran would likely spur a new wave of international terrorism.

We have many Canadian members who are in denial that their Government [Like the US, Israel and Iran and every other country on the planet] are responsible for their own actions. They've sidestepped and blamed Washington and Israel and of course we have the usual Iranian supporters here who will blame [Whom?] I'll give you two guesses...

Now, back to the present Embassy flap. The government has been pulling non-essential personnel out of the embassy for some time now, the most telling being the Immigration Department, so it's no surprise that this final step has been taken in light of the recent assault on the British Embassy. All the talking heads on CBC getting steamed up calling this an unexpected move really are out of touch. Of course it was expected, considering our newly tied affiliations with the UK and Israel, both of which are a little more than ticked off at the antics of the Iranian clerics and politicians.
There is, however, a huge difference between Iranian officialdom and the Iranian populace (both there and in Canada) and the signal the closing means to that part of the equation may just be more significant than what has been considered in the move. In Iran, the populace may not be so eager to demonstrate against the government as they have in the past, at great risk to life and limb. Living within Canada itself, there are at least 150,000 Iranians. This will also have an effect in that they will not take kindly to being cut off from their country of origin and relatives who still live there by the closure of the embassy. I can see future demonstrations swelled by Canadians rallying to their cause.

Over the past half millennium no people have left a deeper mark on the affairs of this planet than have the British. They have given the world the closest thing to a global language. The Greenwich meridian is the world basis for measuring time and geographic loacation. The farflung British Empire, still flourishing as recently as World War II, will probably prove to have at least as lasting an impact on human history as did the Roman Empire in the earliest days of Christendom.
And again as recently as World War II, Britain held the pass alone for a year against a vicious tyranny which had brought most of the rest of Europe under its cruel boot.
Yet for all this splendid record, Britain is today in graver trouble than at any time since the first Elizabeth and the Spanish Armada.
Britain, so long the epitome of a nonviolent, orderly, and courteous society, has just come through its ninth successive night of urban riots -- raising the question of whether this so-long secure island people are threatened with broader civil strife. For Britons, scourged already by more than a decade of murder, violence, and brutality in the maverick province of Northern Ireland, this is a bleak and cruel prospect.
They may have saved Europe in the early 1940s, but today they have to come to terms with the fact that their sometime threatening European rivals -- France and West Germany -- now have greater political and economic clout in the world. Many outsiders ask whether Britain is not in fact a nation in decline without anybody on the horizon capable of saving it.
For a time after her accession to the premiership, Margaret Thatcher was seen as a candidate for that role. But the race and class divisiveness brought to the surface in the violence and looting of the past nine nights -- from Liverpool's Merseyside and Yorkshire in the north through Derby, Leicester, and wolverhampton in the Midlands down to the slum areas of London and the channel port of Southampton in the south -- may well have challenged the idea that Britain would be saved by its first woman prime minister.
What then has gone wrong to bring the British in four short decades, from their finest hour (as Churchill called it in World War II) to the grim brink on which they hover today?
It hurt at the time, but US Secretary of State Dean Acheson was right over a quarter of a century ago when he said the British had lost an empire but had yet to find a new role. That is still their plight.
Of course Britain is still a civilized and mainly lovely land that cannot be robbed of its rich heritage -- from Magna Carta, Shakespeare, the mother of parliaments, to the King James Version of the Bible. Few things are more sweetly evocative to this British writer (because of personal association) than the never-changing beauty of the Cotswolds or the majesty of King's College Chapel seen from the Backs in Cambridge. Yet having said that, it is hard to see the British today -- in social and political terms -- as anything but emperors without clothes.
What is it that they refuse to admit about themselves that may well be essential for either the societal changes or the near-superhuman effort needed to keep Britain great?
In a word, it is their changed status in the world. That changed status has forced them to retreat into their island homeland and into an occasional blinkered tribalism. The consequent pressures have exaggerated certain components in the British character that were always there -- and which are by no means peculiar to or particularly egregious in the British. These are:
* A wasteful class consciousness cosmeticized by social grace and courtesy, which has preserved an outmoded educational system and proven a roadblock to the kind of essential upward mobility in society that in the last resort gives the United States its overall internal health and vigor.
* A subtle racism, tolerant of different cultures yet fiercely exclusive if what is perceived as alien tries to asserts itself as inherently part of British society itself. Exclusive clubs in outposts of empire in the days of Queen Victoria have been suceeded by mental roadblocks in Britain that make it impossible for many Britons to recognize second- and third-generation British-born Asians and West Indians as anything but "immigrants."
* A sometimes touching yet restrictive patriotism that persuades most Britons that there is little to learn from others. This writer has visited Britain every year for the past two decades. He recalls how at the height of the civil rights disturbances in the US in the 1960s, well-meaning Britons implicitly believed "it could never happen here." Now they see otherwise. At the same time , it is this writer's considered opinion that the British -- and more particularly the British establishment -- are still way behind Americans and the US establishment in their level of understanding of race relations. The Britons are even further behind in doing anything effective to improve race relations in their homeland.
Asian, Caribbean, and African component in the British population has risen from virtually zero before World War II to 2 million-plus today. The two biggest groups are those from the Indian subcontinent (mainly India and Pakistan) and the Caribbean. The former outnumber the latter by about 2 to 1 and generally establish themselves more successfully than the latter in British society -- even if still denied full acceptance. For the British, the really tough, hard core of the problem is West Indian youth, unemployed and largely unemployable, mainly because of their said educational record, but also because of white society's rejection of them. And this at a time when overall unemployment in Britain is higher than at any time in 50 years and is expected to continue to rise.
But ominously in some ways, the violence of the past nine nights has not been exclusively racial. Occasionally young white racist "skinheads" have attacked nonwhites. But a more common theme -- in addition to arson, vandalism, and looting -- has been the uniting of the black, brown, and white poor against the almost exclusively white police.
It is perhaps not so much that the British bobby has ceased to be a decent fellow as that authority has given him no special training in how to deal with his nonwhite fellow British citizens -- who tend to be "nonpersons" until there is an outbreak of violence. Three vignettes from the TV screen remind this writer of the dangers inherent in the present situation. One is of a white British working-class woman in a riot-torn area insisting that the problem was class not race.
A second is of the Lord Mayor of Liverpool inspecting riot damage from his Rolls-Royce. And the third is of Prime Minister Thatcher and Conservative members of Parliament rushing in to put all the emphasis on what they called the thuggery and criminality of what has happened.
Not that Labour politicians would necessarily be more sensitive -- but the diagnosis and the cure are so much more complicated and demand considerably more understanding and effort than bald denunciation.
They key, surely, is creating a sense of national unity toward an agreed goal that embraces the privileged and the alienated in a common purpose.

If Baal came down to Earth in a fashion that would be unmistakable, I'd presume he existed. First, he'd have to prove he truly was Baal. Second, I'd have to know for a fact this isn't some sort of mass hysteria delusion. It's happened before. Third, I'd have to convince myself somebody isn't just screwing with me (who knows, this could just be some mass prank by some superior alien species). If the only other option is to perceive this as a test by Yahweh, I'd have to be convinced Yahweh exists. Then again, Yahweh isn't really known for being a very direct deity. What would be really interesting is if they both came down at the same time and tried to say the other didn't exist. Let's let that one wrap around our heads. This whole "test" thing is ridiculous because if it really is a test, all it proves is undying loyalty in the face of reason, which is all-in-all a poor excuse for belief.
God had prophets to write the bible, and you would feel they were lying to you. Satin has his people out there to not to have people believe in the bible or in god or even Jesus Christ, Has to be by faith to. Look around you and see what god has created for us.
I would wonder why he would do a good act and then convince me that God doesn't exist when in fact why would it matter anyways, its a good act, why get recognition for something you wanted to do in the first place? I make my own rules and that's not for anyone to tell me what is correct and what is not. How do I know that that's not his own belief, because if he existed then other things must exist too so that statement would make no sense being as they are both spiritual beings. And why would a good act lead to a religious debate in the first place, it shouldn't, it should be because you wanted to not the other way around.

It's a concept that seems obvious: provide power to underwater vehicles using the ocean itself. Logical the tactic may be, but the technology required for the concept's execution has eluded scientists until recently — just this week, in fact. On April 5, U.S. Navy and university researchers reported a successful demonstration of the first underwater vehicle powered solely by ocean thermal technology.
The Sounding Oceanographic Lagrangrian Observer Thermal RECharging (SOLO-TREC) vehicle splashed its way to a triumphant endurance test off the coast of Hawaii. According to NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, the "autonomous underwater vehicle uses a novel thermal recharging engine powered by the natural temperature differences found at different ocean depths." The revolutionary technology is scalable, which will allow it to be used on most robot oceanographic vehicles, and is predicted to bring about a new generation of autonomous underwater vehicles able to indefinitely monitor their sub-aquatic environs.
SOLO-TREC operates by drawing the ocean's natural thermal energy as it gradually sinks from the warm surface to the cold depths. Ten external tubes contain waxy substances known as phase-change materials. As SOLO-TREC (or any future vehicle equipped with the technology) rises to the warmer surface, the material melts and spreads; conversely, it solidifies and contracts in cooler waters. The expansion of the wax pressures oil stored within the float, which in turn drives a hydraulic motor that supplies electricity and recharges vehicle batteries. After the batteries provide juice to a hydraulic system, the hydraulic system alters the vehicle's volume, which grants it vertical movement.

NEW YORK — J.C. Penney is bringing back sales.
The struggling department store chain this week is rolling out some of the hundreds of sales it ditched last year in hopes of luring back shoppers who were turned off when the discounts disappeared.
Penney also plans to add new price tags or signs for more than half of its merchandise to show customers how much they're saving by shopping at the mid-priced chain — a strategy that a few other retailers such as home decor chain Crate and Barrel and the company that owns TJ Maxx, HomeGoods and Marshalls. For store branded items such as Arizona, Penney will be show on store signs a comparison of prices from competitors
The moves are a departure for Penney on the eve of the one-year anniversary when it vowed to almost completely get rid of the sales that Americans covet but that cut into a store's profits. The idea was to offer everyday low prices that customers could consistently count on rather than the nearly 600 fleeting discounts, coupons and sales it once offered.
The bold plan has been closely watched by others in the retail industry, which is notorious for offering deep discounts to draw shoppers. But so far the experiment has served as a cautionary tale of how difficult it is to change shopper' habits: Penney next month is expected to report its fourth consecutive quarter of big sales drops and profit losses. After losing more than half of its value, Penney stock is trading at around $18. And the company's credit ratings are in junk status.
CEO Ron Johnson, who rolled out the pricing plan shortly after taking the top job in November 2011, told The Associated Press last week that the latest moves are not a "deviation" from his strategy but rather an "evolution." He also vowed he would not be bringing back coupons.
"Our sales have gone backward a little more than we expected, but that doesn't change the vision or the strategy," said Johnson, who previously masterminded Apple's (AAPL) retail stores and Target's cheap chic fashion strategy. "We made changes and we learned an incredible amount. That is what's informing our tactics as we go forward."
But critics say that Johnson is backpedaling. Walter Loeb, a New York-based retail consultant, said Johnson "is now realizing that he has to be more promotional to attract shoppers."
This pricing strategy has been a key part of Johnson's plan to reinvent Penney from the ground up that also included adding hip new brands such as Joe Fresh and replacing racks of clothing with small shops-within-stores by 2015. But this isn't the first time the plan has been tweaked it.
The pricing plan, which was rolled out in February 2012, entailed permanently slashing prices on everything in the store by 40 percent. Instead of the 600 or so sales and coupons it used to offer, Penney would hold just 12 monthlong sales events on some merchandise. And there would be periodic clearance events throughout the year.
But the plan wasn't well received on Wall Street or Main Street, so six months after launching it, Johnson ditched the monthlong sales, saying that they were too confusing to shoppers. Johnson said Penney since has learned that people don't shop on a monthly basis, but rather they buy when they need something for say, back-to-school or during the winter holidays. And during those times, he says, they're looking for even more value.
"I still believe that the customer knows the right price, but they want help," he says.
Penney declined to say how many sales events it will offer going forward, citing competitive reasons. But the company said the figure will be well below the nearly 600 that it used to offer. The company said the discounts will vary depending on the sale. From Feb. 1 through Feb. 14, for instance, shoppers will get 20 percent off some jewelry for Valentine's Day. One example: half carat diamond heart pendants will have a sale price of $96. Penny's everyday price was $120.
Penney said the decision to add tags on much of its merchandise that shows the "manufacturer's suggested retail price" along with Penney's "everyday" price came about because he realized that shoppers wanted a reference price. National brands were also asking Penney to show the suggested price to shoppers, he said. Penney started to test showing the suggested price on Izod men's merchandise last fall, and was encouraged by the sales.
Burt Flickinger, a retail consultant, said the move could help Penney because manufacturers' suggested retail prices can be as much as 40 percent higher than what retailers would end up selling it for. That practice of marketing suggested prices with their own price is common in the home appliance industry because shoppers like a reference price for items they don't buy often. But it's spotty with the department industry because stores generally hike prices up even more to give shoppers an illusion of a big discount, says Flickinger.
"The strategy will be helpful for shoppers to understand lower prices. At the same time, it will be tough to get consumers back in the store from competitors," said Flickinger.
But Craig Johnson, another retail consultant, said adding the suggested manufacturer's price is just a gimmick. "The objective of this exercise is to maximize the perceived value for the purchase," he said.
Johnson says Penney will submit supporting data to its legal team for approval before it advertises its prices, using certain criteria. For example, they'll make sure the fabric used is of the same quality as its rivals. For jewelry, Penney is using the International Gemological Institute, a third-party appraiser.
Penney says it will not show comparison prices for merchandise that is part of exclusive partnerships with brands such as Nicole Miller and Mango. Penney said it's difficult to offer such references.
"There are no makeup prices here," he added. "It's all about trying to communicate what it's worth to the customer
To promote the strategy, Penney will start airing TV, print and digital ads. One TV ad compares a $9 polo shirt under its store brand Arizona with $19 "elsewhere." "Two polos, same color, same vibrant, same details, same swing, same swagger, different prices," the ad says.
Going forward, Johnson reiterated that he expects Penney to return to growth sometime in 2013. That would be a welcome change for Penney, whose business has suffered under the new strategy.
For the first nine months of its current fiscal year, Penney lost $433 million, or $1.98 per share compared with a loss of $65 million, or 30 cents per share in the year-ago period. Total sales dropped 23.1 percent to $9.1 billion.
Johnson declined to comment on holiday sales. But analysts expect a loss of 17 cents on sales of $4.22 billion for the fourth quarter. That would mean the company's annual sales shrunk by 23 percent, or nearly $4 billion, to $13.3 billion for the latest year. Revenue at stores opened at least a year are expected to drop 25 percent, in line with the third quarter, according to analyst polled by research firm FactSet.
"A year ago, we were launching a major transformation and didn't know what to expect," he said. "Today, I know what happened. Our team has a year's worth of history. This is going to be a great year because the new JCP is coming to life for customers."

One of the best things about London is its proximity to many of Europe's most exciting destinations; living in this travel hub with a series of airports at your fingertips opens up an astounding number of options when it comes to getting away. When the time comes for you to escape the city and explore a little, look no further than the list below: our favourite destinations reachable in less than two hours.
Amsterdam has a lot more to offer than clogs, marijuana and cheese; in fact, Amsterdam is renowned for its collection of famed museums, unique laidback lifestyle and UNESCO World Heritage listed canals. Sure, some tourists come here for the party, but we highly recommend taking the less-travelled route and soaking up the vibe – a huge part of what makes this city so great, lazing by the canals watching the world (and an enormous number of boats) sail by, gazing at the artwork of Rembrandt and Van Gogh in the Rijksmuseum and Van Gogh Museum respectively or renting a bike and exploring the countryside – Dutch style.
Visit www.iamsterdam.com .
Paris may seem a cliché destination when it comes to planning a romantic weekend getaway, but it is a cliché for a reason – with its magnificent Haussmannian buildings, world-class shopping, countless number of fine dining restaurants interspersed with charming bistros and cafes, the Eiffel Tower and an indefinable ambience that makes one feel as though they are not in a busy city at all, Paris is a fantastic place to escape with someone special. Of course, you need not be part of a couple to experience Paris – the city also offers much in the way of nightlife and entertainment, making it a must-see destination for young travellers.
Visit en.parisinfo.com.
Situated in the French-speaking area of Belgium, Liege allows visitors to unwind in a majestic city that offers a modern metropolitan lifestyle in a grand, olden-style setting. Quaint, charming streets await visitors throughout the beautiful city, holding such treasures as the sixteenth-century palace, the symbol of the city: Le Perron, the Liege Cathedral – one of the seven original collegiate churches – and a number of fascinating museums.
Visit www.visitbelgium.com.
Making time for sightseeing in the UK is also well worth your while. As the Irish capital, Dublin is known for being a heartbreaker; visitors adore the city for its stunning architectural landscape, love for literature, friendly residents and lively social scene. The top sights include Dublin Castle, the construction of which began in 1204, and the Book of Kells at Trinity College. A pint of Guinness at any number of local pubs is a must after a day seeing the city.
Visit www.visitdublin.com.
Offering some of the most famous modern historic sites in the world, along with outstanding nightlife and dining, Berlin becomes a favourite among all that visit it. Whether you desire an educational trip or the chance to blow off some steam – or both, Berlin is the perfect place for a weekend away. Big historic attractions in Berlin include the Berlin Wall, now covered in graffiti-style art, and Checkpoint Charlie. A photo in front of the Brandenburg Gate is a must and a visit to elegant Charlottenburg Palace is highly recommended.

Take Action for Yakima River Salmon
The Washington Department of Ecology is accepting comments on their Draft Yakima Water Management Plan. The plan which seeks to address the long term water demands of both fish and irrigators proposes roughly $4 billion dollars in increased storage, water conservation and marketing, fish passage, and extensive habitat protection and restoration. The plan includes provisions to increase water storage in the Yakima Basin through the construction of Wymer dam in the Lluma Creek drainage, as well as storage in Cle Elum and Bumping Lakes. It also proposes to create fish passage at a number of dams in the basin and implement operational changes at dams throughout the basin to provide a more natural hydrograph which will speed the outmigration of smolts in spring and improve spawning and rearing habitat in the mainstem Yakima and tributaries.
The timing of dam releases and withdrawals designed to meet irrigation needs are currently a major limitation to the recovery of listed Chinook and steelhead in the Yakima. Low winter flows, a truncated runoff season, artificially high summer flows and the "flip-flop" whereby Yakima River flows are dramatically reduced and replaced by Naches River reservoir supply during the early fall have all taken their toll the on the capacity of the Yakima and Naches to support healthy anadromous runs.
Despite previous opposition to the construction of Black Rock Reservoir, many in the Yakima basin appear resigned to the possibility that increased water storage will be needed in the future. The billion dollar Wymer dam is proposed for the Lmuma Creek drainage, a small ephemeral creek in the Lower Canyon. The plan calls for water to being pumped into the reservoir from the Upper Canyon reach near Thorp. The diversion could potentially benefit fish by reducing unnaturally high summer irrigation flows in the stretch between Thorp and the bottom of the Lower Canyon, allowing for additional pulsed releases during the smolt outmigration. The plan also proposes increased winter base flows and pumping additional water from Keechelus Lake to Kachess allowing the upper 11 miles of the Yakima to be managed under a relatively natural flow regime. Operations at the Roza and Chandler power plants would also reduce water diversions to supporting increased stream flows in the reaches immediately downstream which have previously been largely dewatered for major portions of the year.
All told the plan has the potential to greatly benefit fish populations in the Yakima basin, but it is critical that the measures which benefit fisheries be implemented fully and be given equal priority in federally appropriated funds. Comment today on the draft plan and tell the department of Ecology to:
- Prioritize fish recovery and water conservation actions for immediate implementation even without congressional authorization for the full $4 billion in funding.
- Increase storage capacity only after thorough environmental review and a determination that doing so will not have undue impacts on listed bull trout or other species.
- Manage increased water storage such that it provides a more natural hydrograph and improved habitat conditions in the mainstem Yakima, and Naches Rivers.
- Prioritize protection and restoration of the Teanaway River basin, where there is an imminent development threat but also considerable potential for salmon, steelhead, and bull trout recovery.
- Include in the EIS an assessment of how the various alternatives will (or won't) help fish populations survive and recover in the face of climate change

Editorials Run Amok
In the run up to Judge James Redden's landmark court decision this May, columns and guest editorials by interests on each side of the Columbia BiOp have appeared in news papers across the region. Editorials by NOAA administrator Jane Lubchenco and another by Congressmen Peter DeFazio and Doc Hastings appeared in the Oregonian calling for an end to litigation and for the adoption and implementation of the current plan. Another, from editorial staff at the Wenatchee world claimed that recent increases in the abundance of salmon in the Columbia make the current court proceedings pointless. All this begs the question, what reality are these individuals living in and what do they see as an acceptable outcome for the future of Columbia and Snake Salmon?

Changes Likely Coming for Columbia Commercial Fleet
The Colville tribe in North Eastern Washington has already successfully implemented a selective fishery using seines to harvest marked hatchery fish and releasing ESA listed wild Chinook and steelhead. That project as well as the successful pilot project on the Lower Columbia have demonstrated the effectiveness of alternative gear both for catching marked hatchery fish and ensuring the survival of the released fish wild fish.
Commercial and sport fisheries remain limited on the Columbia to control take of listed stocks and in recent years the commercial industry has become more receptive to implementing changes that meet the goals of reducing their impact on fragile populations while ensuring fishing. With continued success WDFW hopes that selective gear will go full fleet by 2013 providing a peaceful and sustainable resolution to the long battle over gillnetting on the Columbia.

Gregoire Signs Bill to Improve Oil Spill Protection in Puget Sound
Washington Governor Chris Gregoire signed legislation Wednesday to update and improve protections against oil spills in Washington's marine waters. More than 15 billion gallons of oil are shipped through Puget Sound each year and Bill 1186 adds much needed funding and strengthens regulations for spill prevention and clean up. The bill comes on the one year anniversary of the gulf horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. More information in a press release from the Department of Ecology.

Hatchery Programs Come Front and Center in Debate Over Wild Salmon
The Native Fish Society and the Pacific Rivers Council announced last week that they will sue the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW) and the National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) over hatcheries on the Sandy River which they believe are in violation of the ESA. The Sandy is home to ESA listed populations of Winter Steelhead, Coho and Chinook and federal biologists identified hatchery supplementation as one of the most important factors in limiting the productivity of wild salmonids in the basin. Annually ODFW releases nearly 1.5 million hatchery chinook, coho and steelhead into the Sandy to support sport fisheries, however since 1980 wild winter steelhead have declined from approximately 4000 fish to fewer than 1000.
Despite its proximity to the Portland Metro area the Sandy remains one of the most intact large river systems in Oregon and over the last decade the removal of Marmot Dam as well as millions of dollars invested in habitat restoration have set the stage for recovery of wild salmon in the basin.

Yakima Draft Water Plan up for Public Comment
The Washington Department of Ecology and The Federal Beurau of Reclamation along with a host of local agencies, the Yakama Tribe and irrigation districts recently released the Draft Water Management Plan for the Yakima River. The 4 billion dollar plan lays out actions to be implemented over the next 15 to 20 years to protect and restore fish and wildlife in the basin and improve the reliability of the water supply for irrigation. Among the measures outlined in the plan are:
- possible fish passage facilities at several dams which currently block anadromous fish
- floodplain and tributary restoration
- structural and operational changes at several facilities in the watershed
- improved conservation of water
- the possibility of increased storage in the region

Election, Cohen Commission Bring Promise of Change for BC Salmon Policy
In BC over 700 applications are in place for private power development, however public backlash against these run of river hydroprojects is growing. Government imposed contracts which force BC hydro to buy private power at non-competitive rates have already resulted in substantial rate hikes with more on the way. Even more concerning are the biological consequences of IPPs which often divert more than 50% of a rivers surface flow for several kilometers, dewatering river channels reducing rearing capacity for juvenile salmonids and placing undue stress on migrating adults. John Horgan a candidate for the BC NDP leadership role has said he would like to see a moratorium on any new IPP permits until the province has conducted a thorough review of those currently pending. Christy Clark, the newly elected leader of the Liberal Party and Premier of BC has been less clear on her position however the issue is coming to the forefront.
more from the Common Sense Canadian:
A court decision last year found that aquaculture was a fishery and as such must be regulated by the federal government, meaning that this federal election could have huge implications for the future of wild salmon in the Georgia Basin. Among the key issues is how DFO will use its newfound regulatory power. So far DFO has acted largely as a booster and facilitator for the status quo, however with new leadership at the national level there is some hope that the agency will adopt a more responsible approach to regulating the aquaculture industry.
Wild fish advocates are working hard to keep these issues in the public eye asking political hopefuls to clarify their positions for the public. More at Vote Salmon
Recovering A Lost River
Just in time for a looming court decision on the future of the Columbia River BiOp (the court is scheduled to rule May 9th) comes a book from local author Steven Hawley. A long time resident of the Columbia River basin, Hawley examines the past, present and future of the Snake River in his book Recovering a Lost River, making a compelling argument for dam removal on the Snake.

Sandy River Guides Speak Out Against Hatcheries
In a guest editorial to the Oregonian today, eight of Oregon's finest fishing guides are speaking out against ODFW's hatchery operations on the Sandy. The River once supported more than 20,000 wild winter steelhead. As recently as the 1980s the basin supported more than 4000 winter steelhead, and today despite millions of dollars invested in habitat and fish passage wild runs have dwindled below 1000 fish. While many factors have contributed to the decline of wild Sandy River steelhead and salmon, improved habitat and passage has not had the intended benefit of improving the productivity of wild stocks. This is largely due to massive, unsustainable hatchery programs which depress wild productivity through reproductive introgression, competition for resources and the host of other ecological perils associated with large scale hatcheries. The Native Fish Society has called on ODFW to dramatically reduce the number of hatchery fish released into the Sandy to make wild recovery possible. Read more in the Oregonian:

Federal Government Falls Short on Protecting National Forests, Take Action and Demand Better Regulations
The federal government is in the process of updating the laws which govern the use of National Forest lands, something which occurs extremely infrequently. The current regulations have been on the books since 1982 and updating the rules provides a tremendous opportunity to strengthen protections for federally managed forests and watersheds. Unfortunately the rules put forth by the Obama administration fall well short of that goal and in many ways are a step back from the the 1982 regulations. National forests include many of our most important salmon bearing watersheds, 193 million acres to be exact. The regulations as currently proposed fall short in a number of ways, specifically they do not provide clear criteria for watersheds that warrant protection and restoration, fail to ensure 100 foot stream buffers from logging, and lack clear guidelines for what activities may take place on publicly owned lands. Visit Earthjustice's website and comment on the proposed plan today, because we can't afford to spend the next 30 years living with inadequate protection for National Forest lands and the rivers which flow through them.

Opposition to Kokish Hydro Project Growing
With the recent explosion of permit applications for private run of the river hydroelectricity development in BC a number of important salmon bearing rivers have come under threat. While there are hundreds of applications currently pending for run of the river hydro development, many of which could have a substantial negative impact on anadromous salmon and steelhead, one in particular has drawn the ire of conservationists. A proposed hydro project on Vancouver Island's Kokish River would divert the majority of the rivers flow nine miles through pipes for power generation, reducing instream flows for rearing juvenile salmonids and placing further stress on already vulnerable populations of summer steelhead and coho. Recently the Steelhead Society of BC drafted a letter to Christy Clark, the newly elected premier of BC.
Learn more about the threats IPPs pose to BC's salmon bearing rivers:
The Letter:
Dear Premier Clark
Re: Kokish River Hydroelectric Project
The Kokish River is a small stream on northern Vancouver Island with extremely high fisheries and biodiversity values. The Kokish contains a rare population of wild summer-run steelhead (as opposed to the more common winter-run steelhead). Only two other streams on the east coast of Vancouver Island still have reasonably healthy runs of wild summer-run steelhead. Summer-run steelhead are highly prized by sport anglers and the Kokish fishery is an important contributor to the local tourism economy.
The mainstem Kokish River is only about ten kilometres in length. Brookfield Renewable Power proposes to divert the majority of the stream flow into nine kilometres of pipe in order to produce "run of the river" electricity. The entire length of the proposed diversion reach is important rearing, spawning and migration habitat for summer-run steelhead and other anadromous trout, char and salmon.
If the project proceeds, we anticipate at least three major, ongoing fisheries habitat impacts:
1. The amount and quality of fish habitat in the diversion reach will be severely reduced as a result of decreased stream flow;
2. Blockage or delay of adult fish migrating upstream at the both the upstream water intake and the downstream tailrace, as well as in the reduced-flow diversion reach; and
3. Entrainment, blockage or delay of juvenile fish migrating downstream by the water intake, and further delay in the reduced-flow diversion reach.
The Steelhead Society does not believe these impacts can be sufficiently mitigated with any degree of certainty. In terms of potential anadromous fisheries impacts, the Kokish proposal may be the worst example of an existing or proposed small hydro project in British Columbia. This is not "green power" as any perceived carbon reduction values cannot possibly outweigh the destruction of this very valuable and unique fish habitat. This proposal reflects poorly on all hydro power projects.
Premier Clark, in order to save Kokish River steelhead, we ask you to halt the proposed Kokish Hydroelectric Project. We look forward to your response.

Portland Group Wins 10,000 Dollars for Restoration
The Johnson Creek Watershed Council was recently awarded 10,000 dollars as a part of an initiative by MillerCoors in cooperation with the Portland based non-profit RiverNetwork to support their work cleaning up and restoring Portland's Johnson Creek. The group has set a larger goal of raising $275,000 for a salmon restoration project and the money puts them that much closer to achieving that. Matt Clark, the groups executive director says they're withing about $65,000 of their total fundraising goal and that they expect to reach it by this summer. The plan is to improve habitat where Johnson Creek meets the Willamette restoring six acres of riparian forest and installing 16 large woody debris structures along a quarter mile of the stream.

There's nothing like a bit of controversy to warm us up on a miserable Saturday morning - and we've got a steaming dollop of it courtesy of Xbox CFO Dennis Durkin. He claims that Microsoft's first-party output is "superior" to Sony's and Nintendo's... despite the fact that they've let countless studios slip through their fingers. Crytek almost joined the fold last month - and Bungie has said their goodbyes to both Microsoft and the Halo franchise. It's an interesting story, a volatile claim and we've got the whole thing below.
Speaking to IndustryGamers, Durkin argues that first party exclusives need to be judged in terms of retail performance, praising the likes of Forza and Fable for pulling in the punters and preorders. It's all about the monetization, baby.
I would ask you to go and look at some of your data just to compare first party performance over the course of this lifecycle, because I think our first party performance in terms of quality bars and units per title this shift has been superior to our competition's.
You can't dispute titles like Forza, which has consistently come out on a repeated cadence and sold multi-million units. You can't dispute things like Fable, which again, on a very consistent pace, has come out and sold two and three million units a pop.
And now new titles, like Kinect Sports, which has come out and sold over three million units. So we are, not only building existing IP and incubating around titles like Halo and others, but really building new IP in new areas. And that's going to be core to us... to build those experiences and monetise those.
Good sales, then. But if you're looking for quality as well as quantity, it's interesting that Microsoft Games Studios rank score an aggregate 75% on Metacritic. Compared to Nintendo's 77% and Sony's 73%. I hate to use Metacritic to prove a point, but where I come from, we call that second place.
Does Microsoft have the best first party output? Does Forza, Halo and Gears trump Mario, Uncharted and Killzone? Have your say in the comments!

Apostolic Exhortation, Pastores Dabo Vobis, 1992
A very special responsibility falls upon the Christian family, which by virtue of the sacrament of matrimony shares in its own unique way in the educational mission of the Church – teacher and mother…. The Christian family, which is truly a "domestic Church" (Lumen Gentium, 11), has always offered and continues to offer favorable conditions for the birth of vocations. Since the reality of the Christian family is endangered nowadays, much importance should be given to pastoral work on behalf of the family, in order that the families themselves, generously accepting the gift of human life, may be "as it were, a first seminary" (Optatam Totius, 2) in which children can acquire from the beginning an awareness of piety and prayer and love for the Church. Following upon and in harmony with the work of parents and the family, the school is also called to live its identity as an "educating community" by providing a correct understanding of the dimension of vocation as an innate and fundamental value of the human person. In this sense, if it is endowed with a Christian spirit (either by a significant presence of members of the Church in state schools, following the laws of each country, or above all in the case of the Catholic school), it can infuse in the hearts of boys and young men a desire to do God's will in that state in life which is most suitable to each person, and never excluding the vocation to the priestly ministry.

Obama Administration: All Your Taste Buds Are Belong to Us
They're not satisfied with controlling your health care, your light bulbs and your thermostat…
Now they want to control your taste buds, too.
CNS News reported:
U.S. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack told members of the National Restaurant Association on Monday that Americans need to "adjust" their tastes so that they like the kind of food the government believes they should eat—and "we have to make sure that what we do is create the appropriate transition."
"You know, as we deal with this issue of reducing sodium and sugar, it sounds simple to do, but you all know better than I do, it's not as simple as it sounds," said Vilsack.
"It's going to take time for people's taste to adjust and they will adjust over time, but it will take some time," he said. "So, we have to make sure that what we do is create the appropriate transition.

The CW's Arrow 2.14 to feature Clock King and Dinah Lance. Arrow season 2, episode 14, "Time of Death" will introduce the character of William Tockman, aka Clock King. Robert Knepper will be portraying the precision timed, time-piece themed villain.
About Clock King:
Born "William Tockman," the Clock King spent a large portion of his life taking dutiful care of his invalid sister, and one day found out from a doctor's visit that he himself only had six months to live. Despairing for his sister's future, he watched the timing of a local bank's vault in order to rob it, hoping the money would provide for his sister after he was gone. His caper would have gone successfully, had he not tripped a silent alarm and been caught by the Green Arrow.
While he was incarcerated, his sister died without him. In further misfortune, Tockman discovered that he really wasn't ill and was not going to die in the next six months: his doctor had accidentally switched his papers with those of another patient. Infuriated, he escaped, later futilely attempting revenge on the Green Arrow.
In addition to the the Injustice League, and Justice League: Antartica, Clock King was also a member of the Suicide Squad.
A new version of the Clock King reappears in Gotham City in The New 52 (which takes place after the events of Flashpoint) now amped up on Venom. He is shown battling the newest incarnation of the Birds of Prey. He is later seen in Seattle, as a prominent underworld figure and owner of the Midnight Lounge nightclub.
In keeping with Arrow's no frills style, I expect the Clock King to be a to-the-second, obsessive-compulsive planner of precision timed capers.
"Time of Death" will also follow up on Dinah Lance (Alex Kingston), set to return in episode 13, "Heir to the Demon."
Regarding Dinah Lance's appearance:
Given all that has transpired since she last visited – e.g. Sara's super-secret "resurrection," Laurel's downward spiral – Alex Kingston's encore as Dinah Lance promises to be a doozy. "Episode 14 is probably the most Brothers & Sisters episode we've done," showrunner Andrew Kreisberg says, with a nod to fellow EP Greg Berlanti's ABC drama. "Everyone in the Lance family has big secrets and it's all going to get blown wide open, but in a good way."
– Matt Webb Mitovich
Arrow's second season is scheduled to resume January 15, 2014, on The CW.

I had two good law profs 1L. One gave us a midterm, which he graded and provided feedback on, but it didn't count. When did I feel like I was on the right track? After I bombed that midterm. BOMBED it. By doing everything wrong, I was able to figure out what I needed to do right. I met with the prof once, reworked the way I did my outline, and finally understood what a "law school exam" was all about. I got the highest grade in that class on the final, which is all that matters, right?
The other prof made all of his old exams available, with a checklist of issues as kind of an answer key. I knew I was on the right track when I practiced exams, at least by outlining the answers I would give, and my answers eventually matched the profs checklists. I wasn't a study group person, but sometimes I'd sit with a trusted friend and we'd each work on the same old exam question for 15 minutes in silence and just outline an answer, then we'd compare notes and fill in what the other missed.
I don't know what resources you have available to you at your school or from your various profs, but the answer as far as I am concerned is, DO PRACTICE EXAMS.
Shan asked: How can I make myself do my outline? I keep looking at it and I just feel so overwhelmed. So I find more outlines to borrow from, but that just overwhelms me more. I get that it should be concise. But I feel like the cases we've studied should be in there too. How to format it? In order of the course, or in order like the commercial outlines do (e.g, contract formation order.)
Like all things in law school, the answer is "it depends." Open notes or closed? Open notes, I tended toward a longer outline, a little more detailed, making sure I hit the little distinctions that turned up in those note cases. I would prepare a single page table of contents/checklist by topic and tab the shit out of the outline. My typical outline for an open note class was 15-20 pages. Con Law might have been a bit longer.
Closed notes? Checklists, baby. Only the key case names, if at all, because they're useful shorthand (e.g. Tarasoff letter). I didn't get my notes down to checklist form without reworking the outline four or five times. I had a thorough outline, then as I did practice exams and internalized more, I was able to cut it down. In the end, I only included bare bones.
So the answer, Shan, is to just start the outline. Its not gonna be perfect at this point -- its October, its hard to know exactly what you'll need yet. Just start it -- an outline is a work in progress, and in the end, very personal to your learning style and what you've retained and internalized versus what you need to reread and study.
Here's something I pulled from by Torts checklist as an example. Hope its useful:
- A 1) deliberate act 2) intending to cause causing a) harmful or b) offensive contact and 3) A's act causes such contact.
- Harmful = painful, any kind of physical injury
- Offensive = offend a reasonable sense of personal dignity
- EITHER, an act done by the person with the purpose to cause contact OR "substantially certain" (not merely foreseeable, must know) that such contact would result
- Liable for all consequences intended and unintentional. The contact must offend a reasonable sense of personal dignity.
- YES: punching, sic a dog on someone, touching a hat on head or plate in hand, extending personalty.
- YES: (close on contact) blowing smoke in one's face (particles?)
- YES: kissing stranger (not harmful, probably offensive to reasonable sense of dignity)
- NO: words alone; Hunter shoots what he believed was a deer, was a person, evidence it was a good faith mistake, sues on battery theory, loses because he had no intent to shoot a person;
Defense and recapture of property
- Katko v Briney. Spring gun case. Holding: This was a battery since D did intend spring gun to cause harm. Could not hold up as self-defense because it was an unreasonable amount of force, and there also was no imminent danger to invoke self-defense

For taste treats from smoothies to jelly to a full-bodied wine, a Mt. Morris couple is growing the right ingredient — with health benefits.
Jeff and Julie Warren are raising aronia berries organically at their 20-acre BerryView Orchard, 7504 W. Midtown Rd., northwest of Mt. Morris.
The Warrens will open their recently established orchard to visitors for a field day on Saturday, June 21 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Jeff said the purpose of the field day is to attract customers to the operation and to interest other people in the area to become aronia growers.
The event will feature field tours and information, as well as samples of aronia products.
Small green berries are already abundant on the 1,600 aronia bushes the Warrens have planted over three years, starting in 2010.
Jeff said they started planting them in the fall of 2010, planted more the following fall, and the last batch in the spring of 2012.
The round berries are similar in size to blueberries and ripen to an almost black purple by early to mid-September.
"I like the health aspect," Jeff said.
The fruit is noted for being high in anti-oxidants and provides various health benefits.
So far the Warrens have used the berries to make wine, jellies, and various baked goods.
One woman came to pick them to add to smoothies because of the rich purple color, as well as the flavor.
A wholesale buyer comes from western Iowa for berries to use in the various products he makes and sells.
Because the berries have an astringent taste, but are high in natural sugar, Jeff said they are especially good when mixed with other fruit, especially apples and pears.
The Warrens also have more than 500 fruit trees in their orchard. The trees are mostly apple, but they also have pears, cherries, and apricots. None are yet mature enough to produce fruit.
Jeff became interested in raising aronia berries after his niece and her husband planted them.
"I got to looking at it and it intrigued me," he said. "And ever since I was a kid I've wanted to grow apples."
The now three-foot aronia bushes will eventually grow to about 10 feet tall, Jeff said, similar in size to a lilac.
Jeff said they hope to expand their customer base and eventually offer pick your own products.
"I think it has the potential to be successful," Julie said.
What is Aronia?
According to information from the Midwest Aronia Association, aronia, also known as black chokeberry (not to be confused with choke cherry), is a deciduous shrub native to North America.
Harvested in late summer, the dark purple berries are juicy with an astringent flavor.
The berries can be eaten fresh, on salads, or blended into smoothies.
Frozen aronia berries, or juice pressed from them, can be substituted for other fruits in baked goods, jellies, yogurt, sorbet, or juice blends.
Other uses include tea, syrup, salsa, spreads, and as natural food coloring.
The berries are high in anti-oxidants and offer many health benefits.

I really love the fact that there are so many analogies between the world of sports and school leadership. Frankly, if it weren't for my experiences as an athlete, I think it is highly unlikely that I would have developed the necessary leadership qualities to serve schools in that capacity. Every sports team has goals, like winning a championship, having a better win/loss percentage, giving time back to community organizations, etc. And let's face it, teammates have individual goals that are directly related to their individual strengths which then end up being mutually beneficial.
When I was preparing to be a school leader, despite course work and common sense telling me so, I never fully realized how important cultivating great teacher leaders (and ultimately great teammates) would be.
I have a real blessing to spend time in my role as a student teacher supervisor in the school where I was formally a principal. I've seen accomplishments of teachers becoming formal and informal leaders in the building, and I can see where the leadership team I was proud to serve for a while helped to build capacity in these individuals to accomplish personal/professional goals for themselves or accomplish something larger for the school.
Here are some examples:
– Two faculty members I know of who are currently pursuing doctoral work
– Two faculty members I know of who've become department chairpersons, bringing a new set of talent to their positions and to the leadership team of the school.
– One faculty member who has become an informal technology guru, helping faculty and staff when she can. She was a first year teacher only about 5 years ago.
So the big question is how did this happen? I think there are ways that formal leaders, as they build relationships and trust can see where the interests, talents, and passion intersect for the betterment of themselves and ultimately, the students. As a school leader, I found that I was most successful when I personally invited someone to be part of or lead a team that was tackling a problem directly related to their interests, talents and passion. This isn't the way to accomplish every task or problem in a school, but when people are specifically and intentionally invited to contribute in this way, it builds their capacity, which helps to strengthen the relationship, which positively impacts their ability to be great teacher leaders and great teammates.
Isn't this what great sports coaches do as well?

An undercurrent of internal dispute at union conventions during the past several weeks has underscored organized labor's frustrations - and its vulnerability.
At the same time, they have pointed up differences between the present union movement, confronted by economic decline, and the vigorous movement of past decades, which made major gains during the Great Depression of the 1930s. Today's bigger, potentially more powerful movement, by contrast, is on the defensive.
Speakers at steel, electrical manufacturing, and other union conventions blamed the economic policies of the Reagan administration, the government's ''toleration'' of high unemployment, and ''disastrous'' American foreign trade policies for such problems as drooping membership and ebbing political clout.
Others took management to task for failing to keep up with the technological breakthroughs being made by competitors abroad. Off the convention floors, some faulted union leaders and ''conservative'' union members for a lack of aggressive trade unionism.
At one convention after another, unions sounded strong rallying cries for the political mobilization of unionists and their allies. The goal: Democratic congressional victories this November and the ouster of Republicans from the White House in 1984.
Delegates listened to and cheered prospective Democractic candidates for the White House - particularly former Vice-President Walter F. Mondale and Sen. Edward M. Kennedy of Massachusetts. But many delegates complained afterward that they had heard only echoes of past anti-Reagan rhetoric. They deplored labor's failure to pioneer a constructive new program for solving the country's problems.
Typical of rhetorical attacks on the administration were those launched at the conventions of the AFL-CIO's International Union of Electrical Workers (IUE) in New York and International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW) in Los Angeles. ''He is not a conservative, he is a radical rightist,'' IUE president David Fitzmaurice said of Mr. Reagan. IBEW's president Charles H. Pillard charged that the Reagan administration ''has given new life to the extremists of the right - the very same forces that organized labor threw out of the government 50 years ago.''
Although the Sheet Metal Workers, in New York, joined in the political attacks, that union and others in the building trades, which have convened recently, showed equal concern for such practical matters as the growing use of nonunion labor in construction. Union president Edward J. Carlough called this ''the single most overriding problem facing us.''
Unions of federal employees and postal workers meeting in New York, San Francisco, and Miami Beach were somewhat more temperate in anti-Reagan rhetoric but as determined as other laborites to develop political solidarity in 1982 and 1984 elections.

Classy Clarke giving Armagh a double boost
New Armagh manager Paul Grimley has a double reason for hoping that Pearse Og can make significant progress in the senior football championship.
Not only is Grimley a prominent member of the club but as county boss he is keen to see Ronan Clarke sample as much competitive action as possible as he continues his quest to achieve peak fitness following a two-year lay-off due to a deep-seated Achilles injury.
Clarke's absence has been sharply felt by the Orchard County side and his rehabilitation has taken much longer than had been anticipated.
But apart from the player himself and Pearse Og manager Paul Turley, it is doubtful if anyone was more pleased than Grimley when Clarke went on as a substitute in the 3-16 to 0-9 win over Granemore at the weekend and promptly fashioned a point before scoring another.
"It's great to see Ronan back in competitive action. It has been a long haul for him and he has had to be very patient," says Grimley.
"I know Armagh followers are yearning to see him back in the county colours again but obviously there are no matches scheduled until the New Year so we will have plenty of time to get him into shape."
The longer that Pearse Og remain in the county title hunt, the happier Grimley will be. The early indications are that they could pose the biggest threat to perennial champions Crossmaglen Rangers.
"This will mean that Ronan can get more games under his belt which would prove invaluable to him," points out Grimley. "There is no substitute for meaningful competitive action as this means that he can challenge himself to reach the standards which he had previously set."
Clarke's cultured style, creative flair and languid scoring touch have been sorely missed in an Armagh attack which was also robbed of the considerable presence of Steven McDonnell who confirmed his retirement prior to the start of this season.
Grimley's predecessor Paddy O'Rourke had clung to the belief that Clarke might recover more quickly from his injury but instead he remained an absentee for the greater part of the Burren man's term in charge.
While Clarke relishes a return to county action, he is quick to pinpoint where he feels the real pressures will lie in this context.
"County football has moved on since I last played at this level and it now requires an extraordinary level of fitness," said Clarke.
"While I have been involved in league games with the club, the Armagh internal championship matches are played with greater intensity and this will provide a bigger test for someone like me who is aiming for full fitness."

My apologies for posting this here, it has nothing to do with bonds or CD's, so stop now if you want. However... Since some of the posters here have a lot more experience in looking at annual/quarterly reports of banks/savingsandloans than me, I thought I'd throw this out here on this board and see what happens. In lieu of lousy bonds yields, one of my buy-stock/sell-out-of-money-calls choices has been HCBK, I've owned it for about a year and a half. The last call options I sold on it expired in january. One day about mid-january, HCBK went down about 25% with all the other banks. It has not come back up since. The new call option prices are very bad...i.e, the stock is around $10 plus change a share, and the $12.50 call option for january 2012 is 35 cents. Present dividend is 5% plus. Last quarter earnings were about 25 cents. So I'm just wondering if anyone else has ever looked at this one, and if they think it was a case of throwing the baby out with the bath water and this is undervalued? Or if the shoes are going to start dropping this year? Thanx for reading.

Manchester United`s France international Patrice Evra has joined Juventus on a two year contract, the two clubs announced on Monday.
The move brings to a close the 33-year-old left back`s eight-and-a-half year stint at Old Trafford.
"After a great deal of thought I have decided the time is right for me to leave Manchester United," the player told United`s website.
"It is the biggest decision of my career as this club is, and will always remain, in my heart."
A Juventus statement read: "Juventus football club can today announce that Patrice Evra has signed a two-year contract with the club after a fee of £1.2million, to be paid in two separate installments, was agreed with Manchester United.
"A further payment of £300,000 will be made to Manchester United in the event of Juventus qualifying for the 2015/16 Champions League."
Evra was part of the France side that made it to the World Cup quarter-finals. four years ago he was the captain who led a team protest.

Data Serialization Is Different To Data Transfer!
Nearly everyone at this stage has heard about the huge rails vulnerabilities that were discovered this month. However, there is a lot of confusion and misinformation on the net about it, and what the primary causes of them were. So here is a complete guide to what caused the bugs, and why I think not understanding the difference between data serialization and data transfer (or more precisely, data interchange) was the root cause of the security issues.

Google Plus
- Social has given us the tools to connect. Mobile has given us the ability to interact any time and anywhere. Cloud delivers access points to us with a rich array of content and information. Big data provides us with the context and information to make decisions. Unified communications and video transform how we share ideas. This convergence of the five forces of consumerisation drives the next shifts in technology. The move from transaction to engagement and from engagement to experience is happening now. The era of transactional apps rapidly makes way for the era of engagement.
If business value and outcomes are the goal, then we need an engagement platform for the enterprise
The arrival of engagement platforms does not signify time to throw out the transactional systems. In fact, those systems provide the foundation required for engagement. The engagement layer exposes transactions and allow for deeper interaction and richer sources of information. However, the transactional systems lack the ability to support engagement.
In fact, organisations around the world struggle with building the right engagement strategy for their customers and employees. While crafting the right strategy should be designed prior to any technology selection, once completed, the technology to support the strategy does not exist out of the box from ANY solution provider. Unfortunately, the technologies to achieve engagement remain disparate and hodge podge. Many solution providers seek to achieve the engagement layer from different heritages:
- Pure play social solutions morph to engagement apps. Vendors such as Broadvision, Jive, Moxie, Lithium, Tibco, and Yammer have delivered many elements of the engagement layer. These horizontal offerings provide an opportunity to assimilate disparate offerings across multiple processes and roles. The challenge is finding the tools that support consistent integration at the process, meta data, and data layer. Gamification vendors such as Badgeville, Bunchball, BigDoor, Crowdtwist, and Gigya play a key role in delivering outcomes and influencing behavior through engagement. Platforms such as Atlasian, Box, GoodData, and Tidemark open the door to a new era of engagement apps.
- Legacy transactional systems in transition to engagement. Major ERP and CRM vendors seek to address engagement with "social" and "mobile" features. While many of the vendors have the components for engagement, the struggle will be to embed a sense and respond design point into both the interaction layer and process flows. Salesforce embraces the social enterprise and uses Chatter as its entry point in creating engagement. SAP attempts this with its CubeTree/SuccessFactors acquisition in Project Robus. Oracle attacks this problem through a customer experience suite. Microsoft acquired Yammer to create this layer inside Office and its Business Solutions portfolio. IBM embraces social business with a series of acquisitions and product enhancements to its IBM Connections product. More importantly, IBM has built and acquired a portfolio of software solutions that sit on top of the legacy transactional systems, delivering high value and high impact.
- Consumer offerings could enter the enterprise. With consumerisation of IT increasing, platforms such as Facebook, LinkedIn, Pinterest, and Twitter provide a rich engagement platform that could be adopted in the enterprise. Meanwhile, solutions providers such as Adobe blend consumer with enterprise as they provide the tools for engagement on the web and in mobile. The challenge is dealing with societal norms between work and personal information. The challenge is meeting enterprise class requirements for safety, security, and sustainability.
- Vertically integrated prosumer platforms already deliver engagement. Google, Amazon, Apple, and Microsoft have the unique capability of delivering an end to end solution from hardware, consumer device, operating system, database, applications, and partner ecosystem. Engagement platforms form the basis of future business models as consumer and enterprise blend into prosumers. The challenge is meeting the disparate needs of enterprise and consumer.
- Marketing and advertising networks provide rich profiles and targeting. The ad networks are moving fast to shift engagement and offers. While daily deal sites play one role, companies like Glam Networks also now deliver key components for ad targeting and optimisation that compete with Google, Apple, Yahoo, and other media properties. Marketing automation platforms such as Eloqua, Hubspot, InfusionSoft, Marketo, NeoLane, Pardot, and Parature already have may key components. The challenge is engendering trust among the users or consumers to share more information in exchange for deemed value.
Figure 1. Technologies Will Evolve From Transactions to P2P
The engagement platform requires nine main technology components
Mapping engagement requires a series of core components and platforms that span across business processes, disparate applications, and myriad of user roles. As many organizations face cloud/SaaS best of breed integration hell, the principles behind SOA ring truer than ever. Constellation's identified nine core components that should be standardized across apps to support this engagement layer and allow for an engagement platform to emerge (see Figure 2). Some components will come off the shelf, others from existing technologies, and many will have to be pieced together. Why? An out of the box engagement platform does not exist in the market. The nine components include:
- Multi-channel bi-directional sensors. The engagement layer serves a sense and respond design point. Feedback loops drive the engagement strategy. Real time response requires a new level of information gathering and capability to respond. Bionic API's will emerge when we shift to the experience layer.
- Listening and sentiment engines. Sensors require intelligence. Listening and sentiment analysis provides insight into the larger unstructured world. As sensors pick up more and more unstructured information, listening and sentiment allow us to categorize patterns which can later parlay to insight and provide input into context.
- Decision management and analytics. The engagement layer enables better decision making. Data on its own is just dumb data. Data will transform into information. Information leads to insight. Insight will drive our ability to make better decisions. Experience layer will shift to predictive models.
- Context engines. Relevancy comes from context. The shift from real time to right time requires relevancy and drives a major component of engagement. Context comes from roles, relationships, location, time, business process, sentiment, and intent. At some point, context enables prediction when we shift to experiential systems.
- Complex event processing (CEP). Mastering mass information requires pattern recognition. CEP delivers the intelligence to recognize and anticipate behaviors. CEP assists in determining context and also modeling event hierarchies. CEP supports the deliver of segmented value chains and networks. Expect the CEP layer to detect and verify trust in the network.
- P2P architectures. More than just identity management, systems must account for the people to people (P2P) interactions. An individual may play multiple roles and each role needs to be modeled and supported in a P2P architecture. Going forward a machine to machine (M2M) architecture will emerge in parallel with similar attributes and characteristics.
- Interaction histories. Every touch point, both physical and digital, requires tracking. Interaction histories provide a repository for storing, surfacing, and serving up this information. Engagement is tracked in the interaction history. Engagement is exposed in the interaction history.
- Business process management (BPM) and adaptive case management (ACM). Organisations will model processes across many disparate systems and integration points. BPM provides the glue to connect systems to people to outcomes. Defined outcomes will map back to metrics, which map back to business processes, which tie back to individuals accountable for outcomes. Variants such as adaptive case management play a critical role in addressing unpredictable run-time scenarios.
- Master data management (MDM). Common objects such as people, resources, assets, location, contracts, channels require a centralized repository for update and tracking. MDM serves as a key foundation for ensuring consistency and veracity in the engagement layer.
Figure 2. Nine components of the engagement platform
The bottom line: The end game is driving business value through outcomes
The move to engagement platforms is not about a technology shift but a business value shift to achieving outcomes. Sophisticated organisations now buy business value through SLA's. The solution provider who can deliver outcomes will win in the shift to engagement platforms regardless of whether its software, services, or delivery models. Thus, the business challenges will focus on engagement for:
- The Future of Work
- Next Generation Customer
- Matrix Commerce
- Data to Decisions
- Digital Marketing Transformation
