"Organic Growth-A value Creation Engine"
July 13, 2011 § Leave a comment
By George Daniels
Creating an effective organic revenue generator within a business entity adds greatly to the value of the business whether it is in the multiples/evaluations for an acquisition target or the contributor to earnings per share. This has never been truer than now where we are coming out of a deep recession. During the recession much effort has been put into "rightsizing" and improving operational efficiencies, but at the same time many of the products and services have aged within their individual life cycles which were already becoming shorter. Thus, there is a greater need to replenish the pipe line with new products and services or expand into new markets in order to organically grow and increase the value of the entity. This is particularly true with private equity firms where holding times have extended to five to ten years on numerous acquisitions.
Effective "Organic Growth Engines" are not the everyday staple in business today, but those that have them do exceptionally well. Just look at one of the premier players today, Apple. It was just a little over a decade ago that they languished with flat revenues and stock price. Today their "organic growth engine" (new products and new markets) has propelled them to revenues and a stock price which have increased more than tenfold!
For those entities wanting to create value this is a model and strategy worth considering.
It is the famous Peter Drucker who may have said it best:
"Because the purpose of business is to create a customer, the business enterprise has two—and only two—basic functions: marketing and innovation."
"Marketing and innovation produce results; all the rest are costs…"
There are numerous CEO's that turn around finanicially ailing entities, but it is the next steps in which CEO experience is in short supply.
Getting the house in order is tough, but it is more difficult to decide what you want to be (the new products and markets and customers) and then even harder to define and execute getting there. If it were easy all companies would be successful and have longevity.
After spending time studying "the successful" companies only to find many do not exist anymore, The Plexius Group studied hundreds of companies to find why they fail. In the failing companies the poor portfolio management and the related decisions and execution were primary reasons for failure. Also important were poor operations not just in their efficiency, but in their misalignment with the portfolio needs. It is not just about lean or six-sigma! It is critical that your resources, no matter how efficient, are aimed at the products and services that support today and will also define your future.
Self funded organic growth is the diamond in the rough for business success, value creation, and longevity.
The Plexius Group's recommended approach begins with improving business effectiveness to generate cash. This enables and reduces the risks of the new product introduction and marketing which is the driver of the "Organic Growth Engine".
We provide unique methods to improve your marketing and the release and management of innovation and then execution of the development process.
If your firm is looking to improve its "Organic Growth Engine" begin the dialogue by contacting email@example.com .

Psychic Vampires
Psi-Vamps are people who have the ability to drain away energy in all of its forms. To do so enhances their mental and physical energies as normal feeding would to regular Vampires. A Psi-Vamp may or may not be psychic in the normal sense, but this use of the terminology means the psychic ability to drain another of energy or life forces. It also means such an individual can drain thoughts, emotions, life force, mental and physical strengths.
About 50 percent of Psi-Vamps do so automatically without intending to or even realizing that they are doing so. Everyone has known or shall know a person like this, be it a sibling, lover, relative or friend. No matter how little time you spend with them you always feel tired and weak when they leave. The other 50 percent do so with intent. Some do so just to increase their own power, while others do so as a challenge --- a sort of game, to see how much they can take.
Like Vampires, Psi-Vamps can sense another of their kind and sometimes attack mentally just to see if the victim feels it or reacts to it. They enjoy the hunt and love the challenge when the victim feels it and tries to block or responds in kind. Then it becomes more than a Battle of Wills.
There is no magic attached to this, it is pure mental and psychic energy and force of will. One of the prevailing beliefs is that the Psi-Vamp attacks from the Astral Plane ... controlling the Astral State and its Astral Body. Another view is that the Psi-Vamp is in some way ill or unable to maintain it's own energy levels for some reason, so it draws energy either unconsciously or deliberately from another to sustain it's own energies. This does not mean the Psi-Vamp or Symbiot is a creature or spirit or anything else living or originating on the psychic plane. By doing so he/she can launch an attack upon the Astral Body of anyone else by eliminating negative energy, such as can be seen in auras, the Psi-Vamp can actually heal.
Some Psi-Vamps care very little that the energies they are draining could seriously hurt their prey. Especially if the victim is weak from illness, injury or is in a diminished mental state due to mental illness, physical illness or severe depression. By feeding on these victims, the loss of both physical and mental energies to the extreme, could cause death.
It is believed that some very rare Psi-Vamps try to make themselves immortal by preventing the 'second death'. The second death being the death of the Astral Body shortly after the death of the physical body.
It is also generally believed, that in these rare instances, if this state of increased physical energy to the astral body is sufficient, the astral body of the Psi-Vamp could possibly be freed, upon the death of the physical body and yet maintain its own separate 'living' (i.e.: continuing) astral state. In so doing, the astral body of the Psi-Vamp would then be freed to continue the drawing off of energies of both astral and physical bodies of those remaining alive. In a sense, gaining a true immortality.
Involuntary Psi-Vamps often do not realize they are draining energies of those around them. It is thought that these people do so on a non-conscious level. In many cases the involuntary Psi-Vamp is, in some way, ill or in some sort of diminished capacity. The energies being drawn from those around may be an automatic procedure of their own astral bodies in an effort to gain strength to preserve or create a more healthful state for its own physical body.
This is perhaps the other side of the coin, as Symbiotics, or Symbiosis, is a form of Psi-Vamp. But instead of feeding off of the life force, and physical and mental energies, this Vampire feeds off of the spiritual energies and electro-bio-chemical energy found in a person's aura. Feeding off this energy can also have a negative effect on the source. However, this Vampire is known for draining the negative energies away from or off of the aura, allowing these energies to be naturally replaced by the person's own individual auric replacements.
Example: A person is ill or weak, his aura is black, grey or greenish yellow, or perhaps purple. If a Symbiotic begins to drain off this energy, the person's own recuperative powers become stronger and the physical, mental or spiritual healing may proceed at a faster pace.
Most Symbiotics do what they do with intent -- unlike their cousin the Psi-Vamp, only a few do so unawares. Psi-Vamp is short for Psychic Vampire. Again, a Symbiotic may be a real Vampire ie, Classical, Inheritor, Night-timer, etc. or a human. The term Vampire is used in this case mainly because there is a draining or feeding, even though most regular Vampires are not Symbiotics or Psi-Vamps. Any human may be a Symbiotic or Psi-Vamp. The victims are not usually aware of a Symbiotic, as the results usually makes the so called victim feel much better. Most Psychic Vampires and Symbiotics are not blood feeders, and therefore are not generally considered true Vampires. However, many are Bloodists or viral Vampires, though most are human in nature.
The term psychic, as in having ESP or other psychically related qualities, does not in this instance refer to a Psi-Vamp. Most humans are indeed psychic to some extent, in the normal use of the word. Because they are human, Psi-Vamps and Symbiotics may indeed also display some degree of psychic ability but, as referred to the term Psi-Vamp or Psychic Vampire does not relate to this characteristic. Most Psi-Vamps can see auras easily, or may be trained to do so. Where in general, most bloodist Vampires do not have that capability but may be able to develop it. Bloodist Vampires, on the other hand, do tend to be highly psychic in the true sense of the term, as a normal function of their being. Psychic Vampires tend to be human, have normal human life spans and, except where already discussed, are not immortal in the normal sense of the word.
As with humans, and vampires, Psi-Vamps come in all types of personalities. There are good, there are games-players, and there are evil people, just as with any other society. Most Psi-Vamps are intentional, for one reason or another, but do not seek to harm anyone in their efforts to gain energy to sustain themselves. Many automatic Psi-Vamps desperately wish to stop draining others but it is something they can't control, and if they could control it, or stop it, it could be detrimental to their health. The majority of Psi-vamps and symbiots should be seen in a positive light, because most of all they are people, just like everyone else.

Retired Inspector Lewis met his young friend at the Potato Bug Museum off Trafalgar Square. "I don't mean this snarkily, James, but should we call you Reverend Hathaway now?" James blushed. "I'll always be James, even when I'm Archbishop of Canterbury!" he said with heat. Ex Inspector Lewis was shocked by the potato bugs' massive size & morose demeanour. "Who do you think you are? You're massive enough to be Archbishop, but I won't stand for it!" Ex Health Inspector Lewis grappled with the potato bug. They slowly tumbled about, biting each other viciously. Ex Health Inspector Lewis got the potato bug into a sleeper hold. The potato bug kicked madly but couldn't extricate himself, there go my dreams of being the 2nd M in Summa Theologica it thought to itself. It knew all along that a potato bug couldn't be the 2nd M in Summa Theologica but to now face death really knowing it was never happ ening was more than what the poor potato bug could take. So the potato bug died of the dying with an impossible task undone. In the business, we call that "Probable Suspicion". Now my partner, Tad Worthington and I were examining the scene of the crime. There was a miniscule spot of blood splatter along the wall where the potato bug had met his demise. "I'm worried, Tad," I said, touching the tiny stain. "If reincarnation is true, this potato bug could well return as something else & seek revenge." Tad nodded. A large shadow Stood in front of us and said, "Doth thou speak ill of your latent thought of robbing the bank?" Tad remembered he had made a joke and apologised to the shadow. "Okay.", it replied "I guess I can take a joke." And with that the shadow shrank and Tad grew until he was a giant without a shadow. He missed it, as it was the only thing that ever followed him.
Wow, great summation fold Woab! said Pinky the final fold wannabe.
Previously in the potato bug saga…
Thanks for that lucielucie…I think. Jeebers!
for more on the mighty, mighty squid
:) we would have nothing to write about if it weren't for cephalopods.
If it weren't for cephalopods, there would be ONLY A TORSO to write about.
Well, we'll always have the amazing potato bug!
... and Det Manatee and farts.
And manly grappling a la D. H. Lawrence.
And wonderfully flat abs in Amber. Oh my goodness!
Thank you BlastedHeath, I needed a really good chortle after a fairly dismal day.
I would think a good chortle is welcome anytime. I feel the same about a sensible chuckle.
True, although I must admit to being a big fan of the mighty Guffaw!
Oh, definitely. I also make generous use of the appreciative titter.

We Are Orange County Rooter Service Experts
If you have ever had a drain problem, then you probably know that it is a waste of time and money to attempt to clear the drain yourself. The first thing you will attempt to do is use a plunger, but the chances of this being successful are slim. The only time a plunger will work is if the clog is in the trap. Even then, it would be better to take the trap off and clean it out manually, and if you are going to do this, it would be better to have a rooter service specialists in Orange County do the work. They can clean the entire drain line and not just the trap.
Professional Rooter Service in Orange County
Another futile effort by home owners is to use chemicals that are poured down the drain line. This is a waste of money. Half of the time they are used nothing happens and the other half the time it only works partially. The drain will work slowly but is still not fixed. The reason for this is that the stoppage is not completely cleared. It doesn't take long before the stoppage will close again. The only solution is to clean the drain pipe with a drain snake. Often a home owner will rent a drain snake, but they are usually inferior to the equipment used by a professional rooter service in Orange County. The home owner, not having the skill and experience of a professional and using inferior equipment, will end up doing a poor job. The drain line is not cleaned properly and the clog returns.

Orange County drain cleaners have the skill to locate the problem before cleaning the drain. If you attempt to do the work yourself, you can easily waste your time on the wrong pipe. By calling an Orange County drain cleaning company, you can be confident that an Orange County drain inspection in will pinpoint the problem.

Hyderabad: After an extensive search in various locations in the country, TIFR finally decided to set up its new campus on a site of 209 acres in the city of Hyderabad. The Government of Andhra Pradesh issued a G.O. on 28 January 2009 allotting this land to TIFR. The site adjoins the University of Hyderabad, with whom TIFR looks forward to a long-lasting academic partnership involving mutually beneficial collaborations. An MOU outlining a plan for academic links between the two institutions was signed in November 2008 between the University of Hyderabad and TIFR in the presence of the then CM of Andhra Pradesh.
The new campus will have a thrust centered on basic research in areas which are as critical to a nation's progress today as nuclear science was in the 1950s. The national and international scene is of course very different in 2010. But, as was the case then, there are areas of basic science intimately linked to the major concerns of the times such as, for example, health, energy, and communication. Research related to these themes is seeing world-wide progress at an ever increasing rate. The country needs a strong base in these areas to successfully create knowledge, and contribute to and compete in the new developments. This venture requires a careful choice of areas and faculty, and a commitment to attract and train a large number of talented and motivated research students at an advanced level. The thrust cannot be in isolation – it must both add value to and draw strength from educational, research, and development programmes in other institutions, including but by no means limited to those in the TIFR system.
In the initial years the science at the new centre is intended to focus on themes carefully chosen within and across Optical Science, Condensed Matter, Materials and Chemistry, and the Life Sciences, or in other words, "Light, Matter and Life". Each of these themes is of great contemporary importance, and the institute is well placed to develop them on a significant scale with high impact. Importantly, these themes have close interconnections with each other. Moreover, they are closely linked to areas of health, energy and communication mentioned above. Therefore a strong linkage with potential applications will be built in from the start.

After spending some time during the last year making waves overseas, George Maple returns with new single 'Kryptonite'. The single, which is her first for 2017, is also set to feature on her forthcoming debut album.
'Kryptonite' oozes sensuality and confidence. It's the perfect mix of smooth listening and a dancefloor banger — if zoning out and getting lost in the music is your thing, this for you. But if you want to have a groove, she gives you that option as well — it's the best of worlds. Her vocals are damn incredible, and their airiness float over the electronic beats smoothly. 'Kryptonite' seduces your ears from start to finish, and I'm hooked.
After experiencing a massive 2016, I can only imagine how crazy things are going to get once she drops the album. 2017 will be her biggest year yet, watch this space.

In a not so surprising move, retailer Overstock has decided that changing its name to O.co was not a good business move and that they "moved too fast". According to Advertising Age,
"The online retailer's president, Jonathon Johnson, said it is stepping back from the O.co name "for now," though not abandoning it outright. Overstock will still use the O.co name internationally and on mobile efforts, including an iPad app that launches today. And the sign on the "O.co Coliseum," the home of the Oakland Raiders and the Oakland Athletics, will stay up.
Confused? So were customers. Mr. Johnson said customers responded well to the O.co advertising, but after watching the spots, "a good portion" of those who sought out the website went to O.com, instead of O.co. (O.com is one of the off-the-market single letter domain names still held by ICANN.)
"We were going too fast and people were confused, which told us we didn't do a good job," Mr. Johnson said. "We're still focused on getting to O.co, just at a slower pace. … We're not flipping back, we're just refocusing."
It is a problem with all dot co domains. Most people still see dot com instead of dot co. While many feel that this will change in the future as do co becomes more familiar, the reality of the present is all dot co domains will bleed traffic to the dot com. Most likely this "take it slow" approach is in really a "wait to see if dot co catches on" or a nice way of abandoning it all together. The $350,000 they spent for the domain is a drop in the bucket for their advertising campaign compared to the multi-million dollar expense of their Super Bowl commercial. I don't see this as a blow to the dot co registry because I don't think you can truly judge the success (it's already a success from the registry's point of view) of dot co for a few more years. In my opinion it is impossible to build a brand on because of the similarity to the dot com but at this point in time, my opinion has been proven in the minority with the millions of registered domains. I am taking the same approach as Overstock and going with the wait and see method.

LFW Trend Report: Back to Black
The preferred colour palette of Coco Chanel herself, monochromatic black and white has been synonymous with style for eons. London's most fashionable bloggers and influencers definitely didn't disappoint with this trend at fashion week this season, with a vast number of attendees opting to 'Paint It Black'.
Arguably one of the simplest, yet most effective style looks, black-on-black is a godsend for anyone who wants to ooze sophistication and poise, without having to fret for hours over colour coordination - we challenge you to get it wrong with monochrome; it just doesn't happen.
Whether you're a Shoreditch-dweller hipster with unfathomably cool style, or Audrey Hepburn incarnate with a love for clean lines and simple detailing, anyone can pull off this trend to delightful results. For a tougher vibe, throw on a leather jacket over a monochrome Breton shirt and your favourite skinny jeans. For the office, an A-line sateen skirt and crisp white shirt is a no-brainer (you can even inject that rocker feel by teaming these with the aforementioned leather jacket for work drinks).
It's been a well-known fact throughout the ages that a good black stiletto will elevate the appeal of your outfit in an instant.
Fortunately, if the prospect of treading the often cobbled streets of London in high heels leaves you diving for the plasters, the same effect can be achieved with chunkier, shorter shoes - it's all in the colour, here.

Cerebrovascular disease
|Cerebrovascular disease
|Cerebral angiogram of a carotid-cavernous fistula
|Classification and external resources
A cerebrovascular disease is a vascular disease of the cerebral circulation. Arteries supplying oxygen to the brain are affected resulting in one of a number of cerebrovascular diseases.[1] Most commonly this is a stroke or mini-stroke and sometimes can be a hemorrhagic stroke.[1] Any of these can result in vascular dementia.[2]
Hypertension (high blood pressure) is the most important contributing cause because it damages the blood vessel lining exposing collagen where platelets aggregate to initiate a repair. If maintained hypertension can change the structure of blood vessels (narrow, deformed).[3]
Blood pressure affects blood flow in narrowed vessels causing ischemic stroke, a rise in blood pressure can cause tearing of vessels leading to intracranial hemorrhage.[4]
A stroke usually presents with an abrupt onset of a neurologic deficit, attributable to a focal vascular lesion.[5] The neurologic symptoms manifest within seconds because neurons lack glycogen, so energy failure is rapid.[6]
Types of stroke
- Ischemic stroke,the most common is caused by a blockage of a blood vessel in the brain, usually caused by thrombosis or emboli from a proximal arterial source or the heart, that leads to the brain being starved of oxygen.[7] The neurologic signs and symptoms must last longer than 24 hours or the brain infarction is demonstrated, mainly by imaging techniques.[8]
- Transient ischemic attack (TIA) also called a mini-stroke. This is a condition in which the blood flow is quickly restored and the brain tissue can fully recover and the symptoms are only transient, leaving no sequelae.[9] In order to diagnose this entity all neurologic signs and symptoms must have been resolved within 24 hrs without evidence of brain infarction on brain imaging.[10]
- Subarachnoid haemorrhage where blood leaks out of blood vessels directly into or around the brain.[1] The neurologic symptoms are produced by the blood mass effect on neural structures, from the toxic effects of blood on the brain tissue, or by the increasing of intracranial pressure.[11]
Causes of cerebrovascular disease can be divided into: atherosclerosis, embolism, aneurysms, low flow states, and other rare causes.[12] Major modifiable risk factors include:[13]
Once a reduction in blood flow occurs, that lasts seconds the brain tissue suffers ischemia.[14][15] If the interruption of blood flow is not restored in minutes, the tissue suffers infarction followed by tissue death.[16] When the low cerebral blood flow persists for a longer duration, this may develop into an infarction in the border zones (areas of poor blood flow between the major cerebral artery distributions). In more severe instances, global hypoxia-ischemia causes widespread brain injury leading to a severe cognitive sequelae called hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy.[17]
Strokes can also result from embolisms, furthermore, embolisms block small arteries, causing damage to occur.[4] Spontaneous rupture of a blood vessel in the brain causes a hemorrhagic stroke.[18] Another form of cerebrovascular disease includes aneurysms. Cerebral aneurysms can be genetic in nature, due to a wall deformity of the artery. Such aneurysms are common in individuals with genetic diseases ( connective tissue disorders, polycystic kidney disease, and arteriovenous malformations).[19]
The carotid arteries cover the majority of the cerebrum. The common carotid artery divides into the internal and the external carotid arteries. The internal carotid artery becomes the anterior cerebral artery and the middle central artery. The ACA transmits blood to the frontal parietal. From the basilar artery are two posterior cerebral arteries. Branches of the basilar and PCA supply the occipital lobe, brain stem, and the cerebellum.[20] Ischemia is the loss of blood flow to the focal region of the brain. This produces heterogeneous areas of ischemia at the affected vascular region, furthermore blood flow is limited to a residual flow. Regions with blood flow of less than 10 mL/100 g of tissue/min are core regions (cells here die within minutes of a stroke).The ischemic penumbra with a blood flow of <25 ml/100g tissue/min, remain usable for more time (hours).[21]
An ischemic cascade occurs where an energetic molecular problem arises. ATP consumption continues in spite of insufficient production, this causes total levels of adenosine triphosphate to decrease and lactate acidosis to become established (ionic homeostasis in neurons is lost). The downstream mechanisms of the ischemic cascade thus begins. Ion pumps no longer transport Ca2+ out of cell, this triggers release of glutamate, which in turn allows calcium into cell walls. In the end the apoptosis pathway is initiated and cell death occurs.[22]
Diagnosis of cerebrovascular disease is done by (among other diagnoses):[23]
- clinical history
- physical exam
- neurological examination.
It is important to differentiate the symptoms caused by a stroke from those caused by syncope (fainting) which is also a reduction in cerebral blood flow, almost always generalized, but they are usually caused by systemic hypotension of various origins: cardiac arrhythmias, myocardial infarction, hemorrhagic shock, among others.[24]
Treatment for cerebrovascular disease includes medication, lifestyle changes and surgery.[4]
Examples of medications are:
- antiplatelets (aspirin, clopidogrel)
- blood thinners (heparin, warfarin)
- antihypertensives (ACE inhibitors, beta blockers)
- anti-diabetic medications.
Surgical procedures include:
- endovascular surgery and vascular surgery (for future stroke prevention).
Worldwide, it is estimated there are 31 million stroke survivors, though about 6 million deaths were due to cerebrovascular disease (2nd most common cause of death in the world and 6th most common cause of disability).[26]
Cerebrovascular disease primarily occurs with advanced age; the risk for developing it goes up significantly after 65 years of age. CVD tends to occur earlier than Alzheimer's Disease (which is rare before the age of 80). In some countries such as Japan, CVD is more common than AD.
In 2012 6.4 million US individuals (adults) had a stroke, which corresponds to 2.7% in the U.S. With approximately 129,000 deaths in 2013 (U.S.)[27]
Geographically, a "stroke belt" in the US has long been known, similar to the "diabetes belt"which includes all of Mississippi and parts of Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, and West Virginia.[28]

Fascination with horses leads area woman to craft accolade at state fair
By Cindy Klepper - Monday, September 5, 2016 11:02 AM
Originally published Aug. 29, 2016.
Donna Waters uses leather to create art.
And wallets and belts.
Even chaps — and one pair went on a mountain lion hunt in Arizona.
But it was horses that paved her path to leathercraft.
The rural Markle resident has miniature horses, and has always liked to visit the Indiana State Fair to gaze on the larger version of her small horses — the Percherons and the Clydesdales, animals that can weigh a ton or more.
"I've always mostly gone for the horse shows," she says. "I grew up on westerns on TV, and a lot of my artwork is horses."
During those visits to the state fair, the people demonstrating the art of working with leather caught her eye.
"I talked to them probably three or four years," she says. "Then one day someone was having an auction here and had a bunch of leather tools."
She bought the tools, a set made for a child, and entered the world of leathercraft.
That was four or five years ago.
Almost as soon as she picked up the craft, she started entering her works in the Indiana State Fair's Indiana Arts open competition.
"It's for anyone in Indiana, professionals and non-professionals," she ex- plains. "Of course, I'm not a professional. I've only been doing leather for four or five years."
But, she says, anyone who enters the competition gets free tickets to the state fair — and that was a draw.
This year, she hit the jackpot.
Her leather sculpture, depicting a scene that reflects Indiana's frontier days, won reserve grand champion in the state fair's leathercraft competition.
The sculpture — which includes a hatchet leaning up against a tree stump, a Daniel Boone-type cap atop the stump and a small animal nesting inside the stump — is crafted almost entirely in leather.
"The base is wood, but the only other thing in the whole piece that's not leather is a toothpick I used in the arrow," she says.
She says she has probably about 20 hours in the piece.
"It takes time, but it's fun and I love it," she says.
Waters says she's always had an artistic bent.
"I always drew and painted," she says. "Never professionally."
She translated those skills into leathercraft.
"I make a lot of pictures," she says. "It's almost like drawing, but you do it with different tools, you shadow with different tools. And you can paint on leather."
While Waters' interest in leathercraft was piqued by the demonstrators at the state fair, she refined her skills by learning from members of the Hoosier Leather Guild. She's now secretary of the guild, which meets monthly in Logansport.
Not only are her skills now good enough to win a top award at the Indiana State Fair, she also earned a blue ribbon last year from the International Federation of Leather Guilds exhibition.
"They'll teach anybody who wants to learn," she says.
She now also has her own shop, built by her husband. It's where you're likely to find her when she's not working as a substitute in the Norwell School cafeteria.
"I'm in the shop most of the time," she says.

Submission of papers
Papers should represent original and previously unpublished ideas that are currently not under review in any conference or journal. A paper can be submitted to only one SAC track. Both basic and applied research papers are solicited. Papers describing novel applications and making significant research contributions are also of interest.
Submitted papers should not be more than 4000 words long. Papers should be no longer than 8 pages, and should be in the ACM two-column page format (the same for camera ready submissions). Papers that fail to comply with length limitations risk rejection. Electronic submission in PDF format is preferred, but Word and Postscript will also be accepted. Please note that hard copy and fax submissions will not be accepted.
All submissions must be through the conference submission site at http://milo.cs.iupui.edu/sac2006/SubmitAbstract.aspx?TrackID=40 . The first thing an author must do is register. Once you have submitted the paper registration form, you will receive a confirmation email. Your paper will be assigned a paper identification number. Please take note of it (you will later use this number to name the file containing your paper. Ex: nnn.pdf where "nnn" is your paper identification number). After registering you can log in and submit abstract and paper, edit abstract, resubmit the paper. The author(s) name(s) and address(es) must not appear in the body of the submitted paper, and self-reference should be in the third person. This is to facilitate blind review. Once reviews are completed, the system will allow you to view reviews and, if the paper is accepted, submit the camera ready version.
Enquiries and questions on the paper submission system eCMS should be directed to Jeffrey T. Allen (firstname.lastname@example.com) while questions on the Data Mining Track may be directed to the Track Chairs. Additional details are available at the conference home page at http://www.acm.org/conferences/sac/sac2006/ and at the track home page at http://dmtrack.di.unito.it/.
Final Version
Each submitted paper will be fully refereed and undergo a blind review process by at least three referees. The conference proceedings will be published by ACM. Hence, all accepted papers should be submitted in ACM 2-column camera ready format for publication in the symposium proceedings. The maximum number of pages allowed for the final papers is 5 pages, with the option, at additional expense, to add three (3) more pages.
Poster Publication of Selected Papers
A set of selected papers, will be accepted as shorter, poster papers and will be published as extended 2-page abstracts in the symposium proceedings.

Drawn Together
The story of the Irish in New York, across the generations and across the centuries, is one of finding each other amidst the confusion and strangeness of a vast urban landscape. It is a story of gathering together, in pockets large and small, in a city far bigger than most Irish immigrants have ever experienced before. In this tradition the New York Irish Center ("the Center") is a place where the community can meet and be together.
It could be said that all communities form in a similar manner, drawn together by the force of some commonality, by some longing for togetherness, bound together by ties of identity. And what is the tie that binds the community that is forming and growing at the Center? Above all it is an understanding and a love of the Irish spirit; of something ancient and Celtic that springs from that tiny island on the western edge of Europe, spreading its wings across the globe. So if you are Irish, of Irish descent, or just 'Irish at heart' in some small way, then the Center is the place for you. That most elemental component of the Irish spirit, the welcome, or failte in Gaelic, is extended to all. You don't have to be Irish to join us, but it helps to 'get us', or as we like to say: 'to know the craic'. And we'll give you time to figure it out, so don't be worried about not fitting in. Pretty soon you'll have figured out the craic too!
Here are some other things of note about our community:

Beginning MDS - Creating a Derived Hierarchy (Part 6 of 7)
There are two kinds of Hierarchy that can be created within MDS: Derived and Explicit. We're only going to deal with derived hierarchies for now.
As the name suggests, derived hierarchies are derived from the relationships between entities within a model. In our Geography model we have used attributes to define a relationship between the City and the StateProvince entities and another one between StateProvince and CountryRegion. These relationships will enable the easy creation of a derived hierarchy. CountryRegion > StateProvince > City.
Once more browse to the Master Data Manager and select System Administration
In the Model Explorer page select Manage > Derived Hierarchies
In the Derived Hierarchy Maintenance page ensure Geography is selected in the Model dropdown and click the + sign to add a new derived hierarchy.
Type Cities in the Derived hierarchy name textbox. Click Save.
All that is left to do in the Edit Derived Hierarchy: Cities page is to drag and drop each of the desired entities from the Available Entities and Hierarchies area into the Current Levels area.
Start with the lowest (in this case the leaf) entity first. Drag and drop the City entity onto the Current levels: Cities area. Note that the preview area comes to life now too.
Now drag and drop the StateProvince entity from the Available Entities and Hierarchies onto the City item in the Current Levels area. Finally drag and drop the CountryRegion entity onto the StateProvince entity.
Once you've used up all three entities, you'll be able to preview your complete derived hierarchy.

On top of its problems with faulty gas pedals in several Toyota models, there are now complaints about brakes in the new Prius model. The Prius is the world's best-selling hybrid car. The complaints received by the Japanese government include braking problems, such brake failure and weak braking on bumpy roads. There have also been complaints received by the U.S. National Highway Traffic SafetyAdministration. According to a Japanese government official, who spoke with Toyota executives, the problem involves an electronics issue with a small computer inside the brake system. The Japanese government has ordered an investigation of the Prius brake system, and there is the possibility of a Prius recall. This comes after a Toyota recall of millions of vehicles due to unintended acceleration. Since that recall, Toyota has lost $37 billion of market value.
If you have a Prius, and have been injured because of the brakes failing, contact Sheller P.C. Sheller is a leading automobile product defect firm, that has a long history of successfully representing people who have been injured by defective autos. Contact Sheller to discuss your potential legal claim regarding brake problems in your Toyota Prius.

Case mods are a tried-and-true form of personalization and expression, though they're usually of the do-it-yourself variety. If you're a Doctor Who fan and not entirely inclined to do things yourself, Scan Computers has the perfect desktop for you. The best part if that you won't have to do much other than spend some money and plug a few things in.
The computer sports a 3.1GHz Intel Pentium G2120 dual-core processor, a Gigabyte GA-H61N-USB3 motherboard with an Intel H61 chipset, 8GB of Corsair Vengeance DDR3 RAM running at 1600MHz, and a 500GB Western Digital hard drive. The TARDIS box also features a Sony Blu-ray writer, a 300W BN133 SFX Micro-ATX power supply, and Microsoft Windows 7 Premium 64-bit.
The TARDIS computer starts at around $1500 (£935.99). However, if the guts under the hood don't do it for you, you can configure the box before you buy it… and make as many jokes as you like along the way about it being bigger on the inside.
The computer is actually highly customizable, and you can add some pretty fancy bits should your wallet allow it, such as SSDs of various sizes, or a graphics card (though the available cards aren't too impressive).
The case is built of over 45 pieces of brushed aluminum and it's spot-on accurate — the color of the TARDIS is the correct blue and the decals and stickers mirror the ones on the iconic spaceship. Unfortunately, the case is the most expensive part of the rig, but can you put a price on true fandom?

Attention all Urban Parrot fans! Wild Brooklyn Parrot Safari: Saturday, 8/2 at 12 Noon
Please e-mail Steve Baldwin, Webmaster, BrooklynParrots.com email@example.com 646-361-2879 (phone)if you want to attend.
Wild Parrot Safari -- First Section (Brooklyn College): 12:00 Noon to 1:45PMAt noon, we'll inspect the Brooklyn Parrots' "Ellis Island." Their large nests around the soccer field represents the first major colony in Brooklyn. The site is easy to get to via public transportation. Just take the Number 2 train (Seventh Avenue IRT) to the end of the line, walk one block Southwest on Hillel Street past the new Starbucks, and look for the main Brooklyn College date. The tour begins at the entrance at Noon sharp. Allow some extra time, given that the MTA is doing lots of construction/train re-routing on weekends. Driving instructions are available at Brooklyn College's main Web site. Parking is fairly easy to come by in the neighborhood. If you're late, just call me: I'll give you directions so that you can meet up with us if the tour is already in progress.
What to Bring/What to WearPlease bring a photo ID (this is required by Brooklyn College Security). Bring binoculars and a camera if you'd like to immortalize your wild parrot-watching experience. The weather will be warm if not hot, and we'll be exposed to the wind and possibly strong sun, so bring a hat/sunscreen if you have sensitive skin. I ordinarily do not cancel the tour unless the forecast is for sustained rain in which birds will not fly.
Please feel free to wear anything except bright orange (Monk Parrots freak out when you show them something orange: in fact orange tags are one of the best ways to convince Monk Parrots to build away from electrical infrastructure). Wear green, blue, white, but orange will drive away the birds. This Tour is Free, But the Parrots Are Hungry!The Wild Parrot Safari is free - if you wish to help your hungry urban feathered friends, bring some bird seed: trust me, the parrots won't soon forget the gesture. Wild monk parrots also appreciate "real parrot food," especially unshelled peanuts, sliced apples, and raw sunflower seeds. Finch food or millet are always welcomed by our hungry urban "peeps."
See you in wild, exotic Brooklyn!

Who Dares Question My Hazbin Status???
Pigeon's response:
Since that magic number is not very far off for me at all, I am well aware of that and have absolutely no shame nor fear about that. In fact, I feel the same about being a Hazbin. (Hazbin demigoddess here, btw. Inducted 6/1993) I've welcomed many a Hazbin to the Hall at the annual induction galas known as Seaside, Wingate and formerly the Midwood field concerts.
Now back in the day when acts like "Johnny Maestro and the Brooklyn Bridge" and the like were headliners at those shows - sure, I perceived the term "Hazbin" as pejorative. But as over the years my grays multiplied and the bands moved from Do-whoop local acts to the likes of Jefferson Starship, KC and the Sunshine band, Rev. Al Green, the B52s and now Frampton! it's pretty damn clear to me that their - and my - "hazbinism" is something to be aspired too.
Of course, one person's Frampton is another person's Johnny Maestro...but I'm not one of those people! I'm a hazbin now! I've worked long and hard for this status! And, I have a little ditty to express my pride in this. So, Anonymous poster, if as I suspect you're a hazbin too, I invite you to meet me out at the Frampton concert this week where you can join me in leading the crowd in singing the "Hazbin Anthem." Now if you're truly a hazbin I can simply give you the words. I'm sure you'll know the melody. So practice up this week so we get it right at the show, 'K?

Priceless Envy, Absolutely Free: Classical Music and Fleeting Social Stratification
Well, I'm not usually one of those people who suffers from an excessive degree of real estate envy. But there is a one day a year exception to that assertion. Each summer, on the evening of the NY Philharmonic's Prospect Park performance, I usually find myself in the throws of the deepest, most heinous resentment of fellow concert goers who intentionally taunt me with their gourmet spreads, fine wines and, most importantly, their prime Longmeadow real estate.
Sure, they arrive much earlier and are much more prepared for the need for land, food, refreshments, insect protection and light. I bet they even keep an Excel spreadsheet towards this end. Still their organizational skill shouldn't afford them this shameless consumption of land and sustenance products. But it's clear that on this one night of the year Brooklynites can be transformed into these odd, backbiting, (however bucolic) homesteaders. A rookie might be surprised to learn that attending a free park concert can be an extremely competitive endeavor.
Perhaps, you're getting my drift; I'm not one of these people. In fact, I hate them and I enjoy hating them. Each year, I leave the park determined that I will be they envy of ALL next year. I contemplate:
I'll take the day -- maybe even several days -- off work next year to prepare for the picnic-to-end-all-picnics. I will invite only my most attractive friends. Everyone will desire to be invited to my blanket. They'll want to exchange numbers with me so that I can share some tips on how to prepare for summer concerts. I will reject them and I TOO SHALL BE HATED!
But each year, I take note of the NY Phil performance schedule several weeks before with some semblance of that determination but it fizzles out to a mere iota when the time rolls around. I usually end up getting to the park 10 minutes into the show with something like a bottle of tap water and a half bag of Fritos that's been sitting on top of my fridge for the past week.
I guess I'm just not cut out to be a hyper-camper. What's worse is that neither are any of my friends.
There was however one occasion in my free Philharmonic concert history that should have wiped out all potential for all future resentment (It didn't only because my revelry in hatred of humans is so enjoyable to me.) It was some 15 or so years ago when a few friends and I showed up with a greasy bucket of Kentucky Fried Chicken and, I don't know, maybe some Gatorade. We unknowingly plopped ourselves right next to a crowd of Pinot Grigio-sipping, citronella-burning, caviar-consuming, havarti-sampling BASTARDS! We all looked at each other, rolled our eyes and attempted to enjoy the show…But that was too much for me. How could I focus on the show when there were such hate-worthy creatures right next to me? I loathed them from the deepest reaches of my psyche. I was distracted throughout the performance;
How did they pull all of these goods together on a week night? When did they have time? Didn't they have jobs? Did stay up the night before preparing all of this just so that I could hate them? Did they adhere to the conviction to be loathed by the other audience members that they had when they left the park last year?
I was engulfed in the ugliness. I refused to even look in the direction of that attention-seeking party! They were dead to me!
It was probably around intermission when one of them had the nerve to tap me on the shoulder. My peripheral vision had confirmed that it was one of THEM! – One of the epicurean elitists had touched me! I was convinced…this meant WAR! I expected that this person would antagonize us by asking that we cover the fast food because everyone on their blanket was getting sick from our second-hand-fried-chicken-fumes –or something ridiculous like that. I was aware of the real objection. Fried-chicken eaters in a caviar neighborhood deflated property values. I suspected that they would stop at no length to have unfashionable KFC patrons removed from their presence. But they weren't going to torment me! So, I summoned my best scowl and turn toward the bastard to hear his request.
To my astonishment, "the bastard" appeared to be a meek, somewhat bumbling young guy who delivered on behalf of his party the most outlandish request. To this day, my prejudices have never been so challenged.
You know, of course, I wasn't going to let these people off so easily. They had to be chided! I mean, I did just sit through half the concert preoccupied with their ability to evoke my envy. Really, I did my best not to laugh but I wasn't going to make this a piece of cake for him either.
I summoned the compassion to plop a few pieces on to a plate and told him;

You can build a small storage shed on your own in just two weekends with the help of only two people. A simple 8 x 10 feet shed with a gable roof is easy to build. You can use a plywood sheathing to give a good finishing to the outside walls. If you do not want the shed to be artificially heated, you can use 2 x 4 inch material for framing the walls. On the other hand, if you do wish to have additional heating for the shed, use 2 x 6 inch materials as they will provide space for installing insulation fabric. You can use pre-fabricated concrete blocks for the footing as the shed will be small in size. Make sure the soil is dry and level and firm enough to give support to the shed. An 8 x 10 shed will need about six to eight piers. Use one pier at each of the four corners and one pier midway along each of the edges. Checkout build a shed for more info.
The floor frames for garden tools and wheelbarrows can be built using 2 x 6 inch floor joists. If something heavier needs to be stored then you should use 2 x 10 inch floor joists. The floor joists must be built using pressure treated lumber since they will be in contact with the concrete footings. After the floor frame is completed, lay a single row of timber blocks along the center of the floor for further strengthening the floor base and to prevent bouncing of the floor. If you will be using plywood for flooring, make sure it is pressure treated as it will be in contact with the earth below and will be exposed to moisture. You should use extra thick flooring if you will be storing heavy items in the shed to keep the panels of the floor from sagging with time. Use good quality adhesive the secure the flooring plywood along with galvanized screws.
Frame the walls along with the doors and windows on the ground first and then erect them into place. Cover the walls with sheathing and leave sufficient extra sheathing so that you can nail it to the floor frame later on. This completes the work for one weekend. On the next weekend, start building the roof frame. Keep at least 8 rafters. Determine how much of the roof you want to overhang in the back and front. Fasten a rafter to the front and back walls leaving as much overhang as you decided earlier. Cut a bird's mouth notch at both ends of the rafter. Make sure the rafter fits tightly on the top plates of the walls. Using this rafter as template cut out the remaining rafters. Install the rafter and then cut out the rafter tails. Install the soffit boards and the fascia. Next, install the plywood roofing followed by the felt paper and then lay down the shingles. Finally add the doors and windows.

Gatto begins the book with a brief history of racing in New York beginning with the old Newmarket track at Belmont, and the Union Course, and moving toward the early expansion of racing across New York state. She offers a look at Saratoga Springs itself, and Irishman John "Old Smoke" Morrissey who built the track and nearby casino which also still stands as a local historical society.
Through the rest of the book, Gatto describes many of the great horses that have competed at Saratoga, including short histories of the major stakes races. She begins with the Travers Stakes, first run in 1864 and America's first major stakes race.
A chapter is devoted to Man o'War and in later chapters relates the stories of Gallant Fox, Seabiscuit, War Admiral, Whirlaway, Native Dancer, Nashua, Jaipur and Ridan, Kelso. Gatto devotes a chapter to Secretariat and Ruffian. Later chapters cover Timely Writer, Lady's Secret, Personal Ensign, Fourstardave, Lonesome Glory, Point Given, Commentator, and Rachel Alexandra.
Accompanying the text are recent color and black and white archival photos and illustrations by Allison Pareis. An appendix includes every winner of the Travers, Alabama, and Whitney, with jockey, trainer, owner, and running time.
