|Five ERP Success Factors
Last week's blog from Consultant George Trudell, Ultra Consultants, describes five critical success factors to help ensure a successful ERP-project launch. Writes Trudell:
"An ERP system represents a major investment in capital expenses and resources. Given the magnitude of both direct and indirect costs (software, training, implementation and services), companies expend a good amount of time understanding and negotiating costs and contracts...as the selection team narrows vendors to a short list… the following factors make up the final determination: vendor background, technology platform and implementation/service."

|Making Supply-Chain Planning More Social
Strativa's Frank Scavo blogged recently on software advances being developed to break free from the spreadsheet paradigm traditionally used for supply-chain planning (SCP). Describing enriched user interfaces that promise to apply social business principles to the supply chain, Scavo says:
"The issue comes in the 'take action' part of the planner's job, especially when an action affects other participants in the supply chain, such as customers, suppliers or sub-contractors. For example, a planner may be trying to resolve an issue with a late order… (With social business principles) there is no cascading of plans sequentially from one level to another; all levels are planned concurrently."
|Managing Customer Contact Centers
—the New Normal
Aberdeen Group senior research analyst Omer Minkara presents findings from a recent study asking businesses about cloud-based vs. on-premise software for managing customer-contact centers. He writes:
"Customer-oriented strategic goals such as improving customer experience results and consistency, and reducing client effort for issue resolution rank at the top of the contact center executive's agenda for 2014. Operational goals that are rather more tactical in nature (e.g., lower contact center operating costs) trail these strategic priorities."

(CNN) - Most Americans haven't changed their opinion of New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie in recent days, according to a new national poll.
But Christie's approval and favorable ratings among Garden State residents has dropped, according to another new survey, which also indicates that most in the state don't consider their tough-talking Republican governor a "bully."
Follow @politicalticker Follow @psteinhausercnn
The two polls were conducted after Christie apologized at a news conference last Thursday for the closure of access lanes to the George Washington Bridge for four days in September that caused massive traffic jams on the New Jersey side of the nation's busiest bridge.
The events entangled Christie, who's considering a bid for the White House in 2016, in the biggest political controversy of his career.
Christie fired the two senior aides who appear to be connected to the access lane closures, but he denied any knowledge of the apparent actions by some of his top aides, saying "I knew nothing about this," adding that he has "nothing to hide."
Documents released so far in the investigation suggest the Christie aides orchestrated the traffic tie-ups in an alleged case of political retribution against Fort Lee Mayor Mark Sokolich, a Democrat, who declined to endorse the governor as he ran for re-election last year.
Christie's numbers in New Jersey take a hit
According to the Monmouth University/Asbury Park Press poll, Christie's approval/disapproval rating among New Jerseyans now stands at 59%-32%, down from 65%-25% last month. This is the first time since Superstorm Sandy struck the state in late October 2012 that the governor's approval rating has dipped below 60% in Monmouth polling. The survey indicates GOP support, at 89%, remains strong, but Christie's approval among independents has dropped from 73% in December to 62% now and his approval among Democrats has dropped from 47% in December to 38% now.
While Christie's job approval rating remains quite positive, personal views of the governor have become mixed. Forty-four percent of New Jersey residents have a favorable view of him, down from 70% a year ago. Twenty-eight percent have an unfavorable view of Christie, up from 19% last year, and 28% have no opinion, up from 11% a year ago.
"There is now a gap between the public's view of Christie's job performance and his personal behavior. There has been a shift from largely positive opinion of the man to a situation where some New Jerseyans are not quite sure what to think of him," said Patrick Murray, director of the Monmouth University Polling Institute.
Is Christie a bully?
By a 47%-42% margin, Garden Staters see Christie as someone who's more concerned with his own political future than with the state. In Monmouth polls taken over the past year, more residents said that Christie put New Jersey first rather than his own political ambitions.
At last Thursday's news conference, Christie declared that "I am not a bully," in response to questions about his brash and in-your-face style of politics. The new poll indicates most New Jersey residents agree with their governor. Sixty-five percent say they wouldn't describe Christie as a bully, with 32% labeling him a bully.
The Monmouth University survey indicates that Garden State residents are paying attention. Fifty-three percent say they've read or heard a lot about the controversy, with another three in ten saying they've heard a little about it. Just 17% say they've heard or read nothing about the story.
Most Americans say their opinion of Christie hasn't changed
While New Jersey residents are glued to the bridge controversy, a national Pew Research Center poll suggests that Americans are not enthralled with the story and the political turmoil surrounding Christie.
According to the Pew survey, Americans paid more attention to last week's frigid weather than to Christie and the George Washington Bridge controversy. Forty-four percent say they very closely followed the news about the cold weather, with just 18% saying the same thing about events in New Jersey.
The poll also indicates that six in 10 Americans say their opinion of Christie has not changed in recent days, with 16% now viewing him less favorably and six percent seeing him in a more favorable light.
"The survey finds that majorities of Republicans (69%), Democrats (55%) and independents (60%) say that their opinion of Christie has not changed lately," says a release from Pew Research.
The Monmouth University/Asbury Park Press poll was January 10-12, with 541 New Jersey adults questioned by telephone. The survey's overall sampling error is plus or minus 4.2 percentage points.
The Pew Research Center poll was conducted January 9-12, with 1,006 adults nationwide questioned by telephone. The survey's overall sampling error is plus or minus 3.6 percentage points.
Uh oh christie is down with fema camps.
Is it true Christie said he was putting out traffic cones personally on the first day the bridge was closed ?

Starting today, Verizon will join a growing list of companies including Best Buy and AT&T that offer a service dedicated to in-home customer support. Verizon's 'Expert Care' will offer a 'protection pack' that provides home repair and replacement coverage for your computers, televisions, and telephones as well as monitors, modems, keyboards, mice, OEM remote controls and FiOS backup batteries. Service starts at $US5 a month and can run up to $US20 depending on your equipment. They are also offering a "Premium Technical Support" service that adds 24/7 phone and online support for $US15 a month.
If you want to really go nuts, there is a 3rd tier "Premium Onsite Support" branch that will offer assistance with problems like OS and network installations for a price that falls between $US100-$US300 depending on the service. That's all well and good if you are loyal to Verizon, but with the market for home repair service getting so competitive, one has to wonder whether all of these companies can carve out their own piece of the pie.

Lee County Commissioners on Tuesday approved funding to place an early lightning alert system at various youth athletic facilities and swimming pools that Lee County Parks & Recreation owns and manages.
The department now will purchase and install the lightning alert system at 17 sites with 19 total alert systems. Work is expected to begin next week. The $132,644 cost will be covered by the county's Parks & Recreation Major Maintenance budget from the current fiscal year, 2012-13. Parks staff worked diligently with the Lee County School District to use existing infrastructure to offset costs to the county.
The installation complements Lee County Parks & Recreation's goal to provide safe and quality facilities. "This installation will dramatically minimize potential dangers associated with summertime storms and lightning events for our residents and visitors alike," said Dave Harner, Lee County Parks & Recreation director and assistant county manager, in a prepared statement.
The system called WeatherBug Total Lightning Network incorporates an integrated intra-cloud and cloud-to-ground lightning-detection network. It helps characterize severe storm precursors - improving lead times and weather-management planning. It uses outdoor alerts for mass notification, mobile alerts for staff to use in the field, internal alerts for offices and facilities, and online alerts to show area weather for staff to stay informed.

Burnouts, on their own, are pretty darn neat. All that noise and smoke and smell of shredded rubber always makes for a good ol' time, especially here, in America, on the weekend of our Labors, this Labor Day, in America. So why not relax and watch them in slow-motion?
It also helps that the music is weirdly awesome and you have such a wide variety of vehicles at play, including the SpeedyCop Spirit of LeMons race car.

Lack of any compression code was not the reason that Syncronys announced that the Windows 95 version of SoftRAM was defective, however. Rather, the code contains the severe problem of corrupting data structures when reentrancy occurs. If you have ever written a multithreaded program where several threads must access shared variables, then you have an idea of the nature of this problem. SoftRAM can be servicing a pagefile request with one thread, which issues a disk I/O request and then waits for its completion. While the first thread is waiting, Windows 95 can schedule another thread that also generates a pagefile request. This second request to SoftRAM's code, while one request is not completed, can cause SoftRAM to become confused about the state of its internal buffers. This can then lead to application data becoming scrambled in the SoftRAM cache: Pretty soon, applications start reporting errors, and not long after, a crash of the system results.

- The Definitive Guide to Managed Detection and Response (MDR)
- Preventing Credential Theft & Account Takeovers
- 5 Steps to Integrate SAST into the DevSecOps Pipeline
This problem is typically solved by incorporating locks into the code so that only one thread can access shared data structures at a time. Because this flaw in SoftRAM is exercised only when there are several threads running, it normally won't show up unless there are multiple applications executing and active at the same time. An easy way to trigger it is to start a compile, then during the compile, switch to a word processor and start a search operation. As long as enough memory is being used so that paging takes place, SoftRAM will cause data corruption. It is most likely the ease with which SoftRAM causes system crashes that forced Syncronys to issue its press release.
From looking at a disassembly, it also appears that SoftRAM was probably one of its author's first assembly-language programs. For example, the programmer seemed to lose track of the global variables that were allocated because fully one fifth of the SoftRAM global variables are written to, but never read. In addition, all the buffer-copy routines are terribly inefficient. Compare the copy routine, taken from the SoftRAM code, in Example 1(a), with its efficient counterpart, similar to what you'll find in any beginning assembly-language book, in Example 1(b).
mov edx, source mov eax, dest mov ecx, 4096/4 ; size of a page on x86 processors / 4 copyloop: mov ebx, [edx] ; read source double word (4 bytes) mov [eax], ebx ; write destination inc edx ; increment source pointer by 4 bytes inc edx inc edx inc edx inc eax ; increment destination pointer by 4 bytes inc eax inc eax inc eax loopd copyloop ; decrement ecx and loop until its zero ; (1024 times in this case)
mov esi, source mov edi, dest mov ecx, 4096/4 rep movsd ; buffer move operation - ; repeated 1024 times since operation ; moves 4 bytes at a time
Example 1: (a) Copy routine from SoftRAM 95 (Windows 95 version); (b) efficient copy routine.
The UI of the Windows 95 version of SoftRAM indicates that the software has created an amount of memory equal to the physical-memory size of the machine (SoftRAM), while preserving the original memory (HardRAM). Moreover, these same values are presented regardless of whether or not SoftRAM's system-level code is loaded, and whether or not SoftRAM's buffer allocation succeeds. SoftRAM does not compress memory, so the only effect it has is to increase paging of applications by reducing the memory available to them and in no case increases the total amount of available memory.
Inside SoftRAM 95: The Windows 3.1 Version
The internals of the Windows 3.1 version of SoftRAM are probably more interesting than the Windows 95 version because Syncronys still claims that it expands system resources, clears critical 1-MB bottlenecks, and doubles system memory using "patent-pending compression" achieving up to "5 compression ratios." The Windows 3.1 version has four components: the SR-START.EXE program that runs and then exits when Windows boots, a UI called SR95UI.EXE that displays the dials, and two drivers, PAGEFILE1.386 and PAGEFILE2.386, that replace the native Windows drivers that handle pagefile I/O.
Examining the UI, which displays the difference in resource usage as it would exist without SoftRAM versus actual resource usage, shows that the numbers presented by SoftRAM are indeed, in Syncronys's words, "a projection." To arrive at the figures, SoftRAM queries Windows for the resource usage, and then subtracts a small constant from the value it obtains. The original value is displayed as the SoftRAM resource number and the downward adjusted number as the resource usage that would occur without SoftRAM. When asked about this, Syncronys claimed that the numbers are a projection, and that what SoftRAM does can lead to slightly different results. Disassembly and analysis of the various SoftRAM components show that there is no code that deals with resource usage. In addition, experiments verify that SoftRAM does not affect resource availability.
The next claim is that SoftRAM clears critical 1-MB bottlenecks. This is one of the two places where SoftRAM actually does more than just project the numbers. Instead, SoftRAM uses code from a March 1995 PC Magazine utility, IBMFORT, that implements the memory-enhancement technique of fragmenting conventional memory, in an attempt to make Windows allocate it more effectively._The implementation is effective only under specific conditions, and at the time SoftRAM performs the fragmentation, Windows has already loaded device drivers and system DLLs that may have grabbed much of the precious 1-MB memory. Thus, only a fraction of the potential gains are realized.
Finally, the claim that SoftRAM performs RAM compression can be verified through analysis of the two drivers, SOFTRAM 1.386 and SOFTRAM 2.386. Disassembly and comparison with the corresponding sample drivers upon which they are based (included in Microsoft's DDK) leaves little differing code. What is left after the Microsoft code is removed is some initialization related to SoftRAM's system.ini settings, and a "mystery" routine of some 3000 bytes in length.
The mystery block of code is structured much as a compression algorithm might be structured, but the code is never executed. Static analysis of the drivers indicates that there are no control transfers made to the block of code from anywhere else in SoftRAM. Similarly, filling the block of code with assembly-language HALT instructions has no effect on SoftRAM's behavior, regardless of how much paging takes place. If control were ever to be transferred to this code, a HALT instruction would cause the machine to freeze.
The second thing that SoftRAM does to improve memory performance is permit a temporary paging file to grow to a size larger than Windows normally would allow. As described in the section on memory-enhancement techniques, this allows more memory to be allocated. However, this same effect can be accomplished by setting a parameter in system.ini. This has been SoftRAM's only line of defense against naysayers. Some benchmarks have shown that when SoftRAM is running, more applications can be loaded onto a system. If you see such a benchmark, note that in all cases a temporary swap file is in effect, and that the non-SoftRAM baseline system is crippled with an abnormally small paging file.

Why are so many people fueled by hate these days? A good question. The answer: We are reaping the results of decades of bad ideas taught by activists who want equality in society – total equality. And total equality is not only impossible, it's a theory that leads to disaster.
Total equality was the goal of the communist governments of eastern Europe, led by the former Soviet Union. Their people were all equal: Yes, equally poor, equally suppressed, equally without good medical options. These people finally threw off the yoke of this political theory and embraced free market ideas.
For example, in Estonia, the tiny Baltic state that had been a satellite of the USSR, conditions by the early 1990s were so bad that the government required families to have three children before they could purchase milk at state-run grocery stores. Then in 1992, Mart Laar was elected prime minister, and with the fall of the Soviet Union, Laar implemented the free market ideas he had read in Milton Friedman's Free To Choose.
Estonia became "the Baltic Tiger," with an economic turnaround that startled the world. Laar's administration implemented the flat tax, removed restrictions on buying and selling of goods, and allowed entrepreneurs to own their own businesses. The people prospered.
But in the United States, the theory of total equality – meaning that all citizens must have the same outcome in life as other citizens – has been taught for decades and is still being taught.
Protesters feel wronged. They've been told, over and over by liberal college professors and activists alike, that society owes them – owes them a house, owes them a living, owes them medical care. When they don't have those benefits, regardless of their own personal actions, society has done them wrong and they are angry.
I saw another example of this recently from an unexpected source. I was watching Ken Burns' documentary, "The Civil War," now being re-run on its 25th anniversary. First released in 1990, Burns and his staff produced nine hours on the history of the Civil War and its effects. In many ways, it is a masterpiece.
During the last hour of Burns' production, however, historian Barbara J. Fields of Columbia University answers the question, "Who won the war?" Fields admits that President Lincoln, General Grant, and the entire Union Army won the actual war, and the war in essence ended slavery. But she also makes a key provocative point:
"You can say there is no such thing as slavery anymore. We are all citizens. But if we're all citizens, then we have a task to do to make sure that that too is not a joke. If some citizens live in houses and others live in the street, the Civil War is still going on. It's still to be fought and, regrettably, it can still be lost."
In other words, twenty-five years ago, Fields was demanding equality of condition for all Americans. If anyone is a U.S. citizen, that person should have what others have. And if one person doesn't have what others have, the goals of the Civil War haven't been met. She is demanding a fight, a war no less, for equality of condition: "If some citizens live in houses and others live in the street, the Civil War is still going on. It's still to be fought…."
Fields is illogical in this argument. Government redistribution of goods and resources would never stop and would simply lead to more inequality. Eastern Europe under the communists has been a perfect example of this problem.
She is also ignoring many of the successes that occurred after the Civil War. Hundreds of teachers worked in the South after the end of slavery to educate former slaves. In 1870, only 19% of African Americans were literate. By 1930, 84% of African Americans could read.
By contrast, since the federal government began directing education in the 1970s, scholastic scores for all groups, especially minorities, have gone down and literacy has steadily declined.
I cannot guarantee that another citizen will have what I have, but I can stand for the right of each citizen – guaranteed in the U.S. Constitution – to have equality of opportunity in the United States. Citizens have the responsibility to chart their own course and to build their own lives.
Yes, black lives matter, and blacks prosper when they have equal opportunity and take responsibility for their own lives. When citizens know that they have equality of opportunity, the hate subsides because each individual is responsible for his own outcome. Equality of opportunity is the bedrock of the American system, not equality of outcome.

A wanted man managed to escape from the police by dropping through a homemade trap door.
Police in Leeds attempted to locate the man but he would not answer the door. He then dropped into a homemade bolthole and made his escape.
A bolthole is a place where a person can escape and hide.
Npt1 – Bolt hole that's one way to do it. Wanted male who refused to answer the door then dropped into his diy escape route. 1-0 to him but we will arrange a rematch soon 🤫 @WYP_Drones pic.twitter.com/8cz2iXDWAy
— West Yorkshire Police – Leeds West (@WYP_LeedsWest) April 13, 2019
In this case, the man had cut a square out of the floorboards in the property and this gave him access to outside where he could make his escape.
'1-0 to him'
Police are still searching for the man, but joked on Twitter that they will "arrange a rematch soon".
In a statement on Twitter on Saturday 13 April, West Yorkshire Police Leeds West team said, "Bolt hole that's one way to do it.
"Wanted male who refused to answer the door then dropped into his DIY escape route.

Among the brave 5 percenters — the unlucky folks in the Lake Garda neighborhood who might not get power for days — there was little sympathy for Connecticut Light & Power's dramatic failure.
People can't work. There's no water. Toilets can't flush. One family set up a kitchen in the driveway. Others have fled to friends and family who have power.
And yet for a week, they kept hearing their power company say that the lights would be back on by Sunday night.
"I don't believe it,'' John Blasko replied when I told him that his neighborhood was inching a little closer to turning the electricity back on. "I don't trust [CL&P chief Jeffrey] Butler. I don't trust the executives below him. They are lying to the consumers."
"Butler should be fired," said Blasko, a 41-year resident of this modest neighborhood that straddles the border with Burlington.
When I reached him by cellphone, Mike Clark, who is chairman of the local town council, told me that he also didn't believe CL&P's assessment that 95 percent of his town would have power by midnight Sunday.
"You can't tell me there's 95 percent in Farmington. They are fudging their numbers."
On Sunday evening, it appeared that some lights might go back on in the Lake Garda area: Morethan a dozen additional repair trucks arrived as CL&P raced to meet its self-imposed midnight deadline of restoring service to at least 99 percent of its customers.
But all the double talk of the past week has left a bad taste and a profound lack of confidence in government and the things we take for granted. Few people seemed to trust much of anything they have heard from officials in charge after eight days without electricity.
The governor's promise for a full investigation of why this happened doesn't hold much when your entire neighborhood sits in the dark.
"They said hang in,'' said Carol Clifford, who was trying to warm up in her front yard on Circle Drive. "Well, I'm tired. It's cold. The government needs to be more active."
"They said it was a once-in-a-lifetime thing. We've had a lot of once-in-a-lifetime things."
Around here, a lot of people rolled their eyes at the promises from the electric company. A little more straight talk wouldn't have brought the lights on, but at least folks wouldn't feel so deceived.
Late Sunday afternoon, eight days after the storm, utility lines still hung precariously from trees, across front lawns or wrapped in piles of brush. Some utility poles were crumpled and broken. All around, generators whirred and residents continued to clean up among the towering white pines that dominate this thickly settled neighborhood of twisting, hilly roads.
I found folks sharing generator power, baking bread for each other and plenty of warm praise for CL&P's rank-and-file repair crews. There was disdain for the company's top leadership.
"Enough is enough," said Shelly Goralski, who was loading her car with her husband for another trip to Bristol, where they are staying with a relative. Her husband, a Realtor, hasn't been able to work. She's been showering at her job. "We've had to throw out hundreds of dollars worth of food."
I told people that Gov. Dannel Malloy promised an even more aggressive investigation into CL&P's response to the devastating Halloween snowstorm, adding Attorney General George Jepsen to a team that includes an outside consulting firm. Most people were quick with a comment about the face of this crisis — CL&P's Butler.
"That guy put his neck out. As far as I'm concerned, his reputation was on the line" said Sue Petruzzi . A thick electric cable lay across her driveway and front lawn. "It's 43 degrees in my house right now."
Todd Parent was among those who said that the long outage has affected his ability to earn a paycheck.
"My business is affected. I do construction. I need electricity,'' Parent said. "They can't be more prepared for something like this?"
Tamatha Wolfel told me that a day after the storm, she ran into a CL&P lineman in the street near her house.
"I said don't sugarcoat it,'' Wolfel said. "So he said it will be at least 10 days before you have power."
"As soon as he said that, that's when I set up the kitchen,'' she said. In the driveway, near the generator that her husband bought, she's got a cowboy kitchen set up, with Coleman lanterns lighting tables and camping stoves.
"I didn't want to feed into anybody's negativity,'' Wolfel told me when I asked if she was mad at anyone. "You think about the [Japanese] tsunami; well, we have houses and roofs over our heads."
So they've had parties for the kids, and she's cooked chicken Marsala, macaroni and cheese and fettuccine.
"We're the 5 percent,'' she told me with a grin before going to work on Sunday night's dinner. Outdoors.
Among the brave 5 percenters — the unlucky folks in the Lake Garda neighborhood who might not get power for days — there was little sympathy for Connecticut Light & Power's dramatic failure.

It's ironic that a member submitted an awesome tutorial on an anime style cat girl because before that lesson was uploaded, I was working on a drawing based on a character from the new Batman movie that will be coming to theaters sometime in 2012. She is going to be played by Anne Hathaway, and her character role is Selina Kyle. Up next we will tackle the task of learning "how to draw Catwoman", step by step. I already did a tutorial based on Catwoman a while ago and in that lesson I talked about her background and how she came to be. Catwoman's suit in the film will be very different from what Halle Berry wore when she played the feline comic book star. Instead of a fancy suit, the creators took Selina's body suit back to the basics. She will have a simple mask as well as a simple leather bodysuit. Anyways, I really like the way she came out and I think you will all have a really fun time drawing Catwoman too. I have to get out of here but I will return in a few. Adios people and enjoy!

Better understanding of "Money Mindsets" can help banks align with customers' changing needs
In these digital times, an understanding of customers' "Money Mindsets" can be the basis for development of new banking products and for alignment with customers' real needs.
Our research into customers' attitudes toward money revealed three key insights:
Traditional banking is misaligned with today's consumers. Banks think about their products; people think about how they're treated. Banks think about how they can profit; people think about getting a rewarding deal. Banks think about economic value; people think about personal value.
Long-established segmentation strategies are no longer useful. Consumers' decision-making processes are messy and complicated. Focusing on simple demographics like age, marital status and income don't reveal useful insight.
It's time for fresh thinking. To design services of the future, banks must look at how people behave and what's important to them when dealing with their money.
People are changing. Banks need to look at them with fresh eyes, understand their new needs and desires, and be willing to change themselves.
Accenture and Fjord conducted research into changing consumer attitudes and behaviors by asking three simple questions:
When do you think about money?
Where do you think about money?
How hard do you think about money?
We saw four distinct behaviors around how people engage with their money:
Responses revealed four basic Money Mindsets:
An understanding of how these different personality types think about their finances can help banks develop services and products that become invaluable features of daily life.
Each money mindset presents banks with specific opportunities for product development.
These and other insights into money mindsets can help us to understand the relationship between people and money and the new role of the bank in digital times.
Achievers need tools that are more sophisticated than those banks currently offer. Banks have a golden opportunity to make Achievers into lifelong clients by helping them to reach their goals.
Balancers are savvy, and likely to invest time and effort finding out whether banks' services can improve their financial situation. Deal apps and budgeting tools help Balancers stay on top of their finances.
Experiencers "spend it" more than any other mindset. Money enables Experiencers and is meant to have immediate utility. Budgets? Effort? No thanks.
Explorers are unlikely to switch away from their bank, providing things tick along without much effort. They prize simplicity and more frequently used investment tools to check and manage their finances.

Story highlights
- HBO's new series, "Girls," is premiering on Sunday
- Porochista Khakpour: The show may seems too downtown NYC and insider
- But the show's aesthetic realism makes it appealing
- Khakpour: "Girls" is not perfect and that's part of the beauty
I was in college when "Sex and the City" first premiered. Much to my chagrin, in my resolutely artsy college nobody was willing to have their dorm room harbor that object of common people — the television — so it took some time until I saw it.
When I ducked into the real world in 2000, I watched it at the prompting of a boyfriend, the first of several obsessed with it. My reaction disappointed them: I could not for the life of me understand it.
For one thing, I could not get past certain surfaces: they were all so poofy, so adorned, so posh, so glittery and glossy. Their real heart and soul was buried under so many buzzy and blingy distractions: designer everything and $14-apple-martinis and man-chasing fiascos only women of a certain mindset and privilege could afford to drown in. They were like women in drag. They felt like women written by women reared on women as men saw women, not the women I knew. Maybe it was just a generational issue, though, I told myself.
Years later, as a creative writing professor in several liberal arts colleges, I again had that experience as my sorority girls came marching in. These women, born in the '90s or awfully close, seemed thoroughly airbrushed inside and out, wrapped snugly in artificially tanned and manicured molds.
They were not the women I knew and my first instinct was to feel sorry for them; they didn't know what dating and courtship was, they could not imagine a pre-Internet world or a time before electronic communication, and they learned about sex through online porn sites. And yet, they felt sorry for me. One student told me she could not imagine the life I had chosen, because I was in my 30s and single.
Their eyes were stuck on seeming prizes: earn money and be married and make babies pronto. I tried to rationalize that they were much younger than I during 9/11 and that this was typical. But it was hard not to see them purely as the perfect offspring of "Sex and the City."
Behind all these women, I am sure there is somewhere a "Girls"-woman, either just lying dormant and in denial or hiding in a cold sweat.
What first hit home with HBO's new series, "Girls," is that it has a certain Gen X-ery to it. Its creator, writer and star, Lena Dunham -- whom my millennial counterparts might accuse me of having a "girl-crush" on — has clearly been reared on the stuff of a half-generation before her. The show's language, after all, is equal parts downtown-NYC and Internetese. Its biggest danger is not making sense to those outside that world.
The pilot will of course draw sighs and groans, something for some to file under "first-world problems" and dismiss. The premise is not for everyone, of course: a young writer gets cut off from her parents and spends meaningless hours with her various shades of hipster-NYCettes. It's sometimes hard to know what's local color and what's product placement — Smart Water cameos juxtaposed with a brilliantly frayed "Sex and the City" poster. But one thing is clear: If you're not an insider, then you'll either have to approach it as an exercise in anthropological-insights-reaping or move on.
Because what is most delightful about "Girls" is not the premise, but rather, the smart writing and the surface details. Behold the spectacle of everyday pimples and bad tattoos and unshaven skin and some fat and really awkward sex — what you see in your real life but rarely mirrored back in any pop cultural depiction. The "ugly," the "grit" and "dirt" give the show its aesthetic realism and provide a public service by being an antidote to The Hills and various other disturbingly surreal "reality" shows.
And so the world discovers the big secret, that we women are funny and smart and, without a ton of makeup and couture, we actually have appeal. One can't help but ask, who helmed such a slow discovery? Not to out anyone, but we've been wisecracking, passive-aggressing, jabbing, jiving and looking tremendous in your crappy flannels and boxers for years.
After all, while at first the feminist in me was irked by the fact that it took a man to deliver a show like this to the masses--Judd Apatow, recent patron saint of complicated funny girls--I can now see this will do more for Apatow by being the one of best feathers in his cap yet.
"Girls" is not perfect and that's part of the beauty. But it deserves the attention it has been getting because it's going for the one way to survive the mess we've made of good loving and living in a world of economic adversity and electronic overstimulation: acknowledging the daunting hardship, but refusing to let it crush one's spirit. It has all that true gooey angst of life but wrapped in the gold foil of good and sometimes even bad humor. Its true edge does not come from the vapidly quirky "mumblecore" branding it's already being underestimated with. If you're really paying attention, its edge comes from the simple presentation of raw vulnerability as the force of real strength in this world. Just the stuff of all the girls I know and love.

FULLERTON – Police are looking for a third suspect in the shooting of a Fullerton police officer who was struck multiple times when making a traffic stop early Sunday morning, authorities said Monday afternoon.
"We are looking for a third suspect, based on the initial information that there were two males in the vehicle at the time our officer stopped the car," said Fullerton police Sgt. Jeff Stuart. "Due to the fact that the windows were darkly tinted, the officer was not able to see into the back seat of the car, but did see a male driver and male front passenger."
Stuart said it appears only the driver fired at the officer. Police believe the driver was 29-year-old Marcos Bush.
Detectives tracked Bush, of Santa Ana, to an Anaheim home, where he was arrested Sunday afternoon after a foot chase, Fullerton police said in a statement. Bush discarded a handgun pulled from his waistband as he fled, police said. Police are testing the gun to determine if it was the one used in the shooting.
Fullerton police said Bush has a lengthy arrest record. Court records show that on March 6, a man with his name and birth date was found not guilty by a jury of attempted murder, assault with a deadly weapon, assault with a firearm, and other charges. He also pleaded guilty in 2008 to assault with a deadly weapon, criminal threats and causing corporal injury on a spouse or cohabitant, the court records show.
California Highway Patrol officers also arrested Sjanee R. Duhart, 27, on Sunday morning. She was found in Riverside driving the four-door Pontiac that had been pulled over, police said. She was in custody, pending charges of being an accessory to the attempted murder of a police officer.
Court records show that a woman with the same name and date of birth as Duhart pleaded guilty in March 2006 to assault, battery, second-degree burglary, and for acquiring access cards using different names. Duhart also pleaded guilty to numerous traffic violations.
Police are not releasing the officer's name, but said he is in good condition and in good spirits.
"His family has asked that we not identify him, so we're respecting his wishes at this time," said Fullerton police Sgt. Jeff Stuart. "He's alert and talking."
Police said the officer, who has been on the force for seven years, made a traffic stop at 12:13 a.m. Sunday near Woods and Knepp avenues and was shot multiple times as he approached the car's driver's-side window. The initial shot went into his bulletproof vest, Stuart said.
It appears that the officer did fire back, but it's unclear whether he struck anything, Stuart added.
Stuart said there was no apparent damage to the vehicle that was stopped.
Police will ask the District Attorney's Office to charge Bush with attempted murder of a police officer, according to a police press release.
Register reporters Mike Reicher and Alyssa Duranty contributed to this report.

Japan plans $2.1B military spend in stimulus package

Japan plans $2.1B military spend in stimulus package
Japan plans to spend $2.1 billion on its military over the next few months as part of a huge stimulus package, a defense ministry official said Jan. 9, amid growing concerns over a rising China.
The cash is in addition to the regular military spending for 2012-13 and is separate from a boosted budget request for next fiscal year that ruling party policy makers called for on Jan.8.
"We will request 180.5 billion yen to be allocated to military spending from a stimulus package," a defense ministry spokesman told AFP, adding that some of the cash will be used to buy PAC-3 surface-to-air anti-ballistic missile systems and modernize four F-15 fighter jets.
The request for funds has to be approved by the finance ministry before being officially included in the stimulus the government is set to announce later this month, reportedly worth 13.1 trillion yen for this fiscal year to March.
The announcement came a day after Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's ruling Liberal Democratic Party said Japan will increase military spending for the first time in 11 years next fiscal year starting from April.
Japan is involved in an island tussle with China in the East China Sea.
Beijing has sent vessels to the area dozens of times and late last year dispatched a plane.
Nerves in Tokyo have also been rattled by an unpredictable Democratic People's Republic of Korea(DPRK).
It sent a rocket over Japan's southern islands last month in what it insisted was a satellite launch. Tokyo and its allies said the launch was a covert ballistic missile test.
"Out of 180.5 billion yen, the defense ministry plans to use 60.5 billion yen to prepare for the changing security environment surrounding Japan," the spokesman said.
The defense ministry also plans to purchase three SH-60K patrol helicopters and to add a battery for an intermediate-range ballistic missile system, he said.
"We need to update our equipment as the security environment surrounding Japan is becoming harsher as North Korea (DPRK) has test-launched missiles twice in the last year and tensions with China continue," he said.
Under usual precedent, 70 percent to 80 percent of a defense order must be spent with domestic firms, although this is not a legal requirement, he said.

If you don't see a sale sign, it doesn't mean you can't get a deal. Here are four ways you could save money the next time you shop online or
If you don't see a sale sign, it doesn't mean you can't get a deal. Here are four ways you could save money the next time you shop online or in person.1. Sign up
If you're willing to supply a retailer with some of your personal information " such as your name, address or birth date " you could get deals in return.
'Consumers can visit the retailers' website to sign up for coupons, or even download an app to receive alerts on discounts,' Maura L. Scott, an associate professor of marketing at Florida State University, said in an email.
'Online deals can be a great way to save money, provided consumers understand that they are providing something of value when they share their data with a company,' Scott said. Companies can use this information to track consumers' shopping behaviors, for example.
Many retailers offer a one-time discount just for joining a mailing list or rewards program, or for agreeing to receive text alerts. (Though note that you might have to wait a bit to receive your coupon before you can get a discount.) Two recent examples we spotted: coupons for 12% or 15% off at online seller Overstock.com for signing up an email address, and 15% off one online order at makeup company Estee Lauder for joining its loyalty program.2. Negotiate
Contrary to what you may think, the price you see on the sticker isn't always the price you have to pay, according to Emily Hunter, an associate professor of management at Baylor University.
'I find that people in general don't consider negotiating an option when they're at a store,' Hunter says. 'They think about it as an option at a garage sale, but not like a big-box retailer.'
One possible tactic: Shoppers can use a defect as leverage for a discount. (Think fruit that is bruised or a shirt that has a small tear or stain.) Additionally, if there's any question of how much an item costs " such as if it's not clearly marked on the shelf " try requesting the lower of the potential prices.
Even if there's nothing wrong with a product, you can still ask for a lower price, Hunter says. Particularly on big-ticket items, retailers may want to work with you to win your business. To get the best outcome, be sure to clearly state what you want " such as 30% off " instead of starting with 'what's the best price you can give me?'3. Just ask
If you saw a coupon for an item but forgot to bring it with you to the store, all is not lost: You can try asking for one at the register.
'They literally have them right next to the terminal,' Hunter says. 'It's just a matter of whether they're willing to let you use it. This is where being really kind and polite really helps.'
If you're shopping online, try messaging or calling the retailer's customer service department to see if there are any coupon codes available that you could apply to your order.
Don't forget to ask about other deductions, too. Stores sometimes offer senior, military, student or other specialty discounts.4. Earn cash back
Sign up with cash-back websites and apps such as Ebates and BeFrugal to earn money back on your qualifying purchases. You won't pay less for an item at the time of purchase, but you can potentially get money back after the fact " almost like a refund.
If you have memberships at several cash-back sites, check out Cashback Monitor. It's a site that aggregates cash-back rates from multiple cash-back websites. You can quickly see which site is offering the best discount at the store where you're shopping and choose the cash-back site you use accordingly.

Enzootic(redirected from enzootic bovine leukopsis)
Also found in: Dictionary, Thesaurus, Medical.
(veterinary medicine)
A disease affecting animals in a limited geographic region.
Pertaining to such a disease.
an animal disease limited to a specific region, farm, or locality. True enzootic diseases are related to natural conditions, such as the animals' natural area of distribution, sources of the causative agent, the presence of specific carriers, the viability of the causative agent outside the body of the animal, and an insufficient quantity of trace elements in the soil.
Statistical enzootic diseases are related to the agricultural activities of man and the veterinary maintenance. True enzootics are not registered throughout a whole region (for example, natural focal diseases), while statistical enzootics are widespread (for example, Escherichia coli and salmonella infections).

This inspiring 430 sq ft apartment completely redesigned in 2018 byTOWOdesign is located in Shanghai, China.
Description by TOWOdesign
It is the ordinary method taken by TOWOdesign to embody value in the spatial location and generatrix of space, and use the simplest rules to optimize the spatial functions and feelings in reconstruction. They also applied it to the design of an economical residence in the central urban area of Shanghai, where land is limited; the space was extended dramatically through a 10 degree rotations.
The original area was only 40 square meters, but needed to accommodate functional areas for daily living, storage, office, entertainment and so on. To make best use of the space, TOWOdesign designed several "function boxes" to integrate daily functions, and put them inside the space. Innovative activity areas were created between function boxes. The apartment changed from a space consists of regular room to a flowing space consisting of continuous space outside one box. The yellow kitchen cabinet is the center of the entire flowing space. This change eliminates the sense of depression and also expands the space. However, some contradictions appeared after placing the boxes in this small space, especially the box for entertainment, it blocked the entire flow line and view of the whole space. Therefore, TOWOdesign made some adjustment to the previous design. They rotated all the functional boxes by 10 degrees; in this way,...

(AP) — Billionaire Warren Buffett's company revealed several new investments Wednesday, including a stake in Deere & Co., as part of a busy quarter of buying and selling for Berkshire Hathaway Inc.
The changes in Berkshire's investments as of Sept. 30 are detailed in a report the Omaha-based company filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Berkshire said it held nearly 4 million shares of agricultural equipment maker Deere. The other new investments revealed Wednesday were: 1.6 million shares of Wabco Holdings and 1.25 million shares of Precision Castparts Corp.
Berkshire Hathaway officials do not typically comment on these quarterly filings, and Buffett did not respond immediately to a message about Wednesday's report.
During the third quarter, Berkshire added to its existing investments in Wells Fargo, Bank of New York Mellon Corp., General Motors, DirecTV, DaVita Inc., National Oilwell Varco Inc. and Viacom.
Berkshire also reduced its stakes in Johnson & Johnson, Kraft Foods, Lee Enterprises, Procter & Gamble and US Bancorp. It sold off 5.3 million shares of CVS Caremark Corp.
Investors watch Berkshire's investments closely because many often try to mimic Buffett's moves.
But the report doesn't distinguish between Buffett's stock picks and those made by the company's other investment managers, Todd Combs and Ted Weschler. Combs started at Berkshire last year, and Weschler started early this year.
Combs and Weschler each manage roughly $4 billion. Berkshire's stock portfolio was worth about $75.3 billion at the end of September.
Buffett has said that investments smaller than $300 million are likely to be the work of Combs or Weschler. Many of the changes reported Wednesday would likely be Combs' or Weschler's investments because they are below $300 million.
Besides investments, Berkshire owns more than 80 companies; including insurance, utility, railroad, furniture, jewelry, manufacturing, restaurant and apparel companies. Berkshire's insurance and utility businesses typically account for more than half of his company's net income.

Note the dark grains inside the cellular fluid (cytoplasm) of this basophil. Basophils make up only a small portion of the number of white blood cells but are important parts of the body's immune response. They release histamine and other chemicals that act on the blood vessels when the immune response is triggered.

Ferrari CEO Amedeo Felisa at the Beijing Auto Show: "In China Ferrari grows faster than the market: + 75% in 2011″
Maranello, 23 April – On the first day of the Beijing Auto Show Ferrari CEO Amedeo Felisa stated China's importance for the manufacturer from Maranello, which has enjoyed an increase in sales that is higher than the 2011 market average : "Last year we sold 500 cars in mainland China, with a growth of 75% compared to the reference market, which grew at 65%," Felisa confirmed. "Greater China is now the second most important market for Ferrari in the world." At a conference with Chinese reporters Felisa underlined the country's fundamental role for the Prancing Horse. "This year we'll celebrate the 20th anniversary of the first car sold in Beijing. To celebrate this landmark a big permanent exhibition dedicated to Ferrari will open at Shanghai's World Expo Park in the Italia Center in May. There we'll present a special series of our 458 Italia model with a special livery, sporting the "longma", the characteristic Chinese symbol, the legendary dragon-horse, the perfect symbol of Chinese culture and Ferrari."
"In mainland China," Felisa concluded, "Ferrari's network of 15 dealerships will be expanded to 20 by the end of 2012″.

Choosing the perfect rug is every bit a tactile decision as a visual one. That's why selecting the right material is essential. So browse our extensive rug selection and explore choices in bamboo, seagrass, cotton, nylon, wool, silk or even faux fur!
Rugs made from natural materials, such as bamboo and seagrass, can impart a calming, organic feel to a room. Faux fur and faux sheepskin rugs have a unique, plush feel. Cotton is a classic. Or pick up a silk rug for a taste of pure luxury.
Regardless of the size or materials, all our rugs are very affordable. We have designs for kitchens, kids' rooms, living and dining rooms: rectangular as well as different sizes. Cotton rugs have lots of vivid colors and styles, uncut loops create the pattern on a cut-and-loop style, and polypropylene is a strong material and excellent for high traffic areas.
Oriental rugs are a mainstay in many homes across the world. Some have antique styling and the perfect look for a historic home. Multi-color styles go well in kids' bedrooms, playrooms and kitchens, while styles with a more neutral base color go well in living and dining rooms.
