This paper from Retail Systems Research examines the impact of the current retailing environment on forecasting as an input into the merchandise planning process. They look at the business drivers causing retailers to re-examine the role of forecasting in their enterprise, as well as where forecasting is playing a critical role in helping retailers manage their business in the face of uncertain demand.
Increase Customer Profitability Using Data Mining and Advanced Analytics

PDF White Paper
In this paper, we describe the standard process a typical bank goes through today, along with the many manual interactions
required to generate a business budget that is in line with the strategic guidance of the bank's board of directors (BOD).
This method typically falls short of providing a budget and optimal capital deployment based on a risk-adjusted view of the world.

818 N Quincy St, Arlington, VA 22203
In 1983, when Nord Brue and Mike Dressell started Bruegger's Bagel Bakery, bagels were considered mainly an…More ethnic food and were not really known outside of New York.
Nord Brue and Mike Dressell invented a new concept from their home base in Burlington, Vermont, by expanding the traditional bagel bakery into a quick service bakery with premium specialty cream cheeses, custom-made sandwiches, signature soups and great coffee. The owners even worked with a professional bagel baker from New York City for two and a half years to perfect Bruegger's recipes and baking process.
Since 2003, Bruegger's has evolved beyond bagels into breads, wraps and other lunchtime menu items, and has updated its bakeries to reflect the welcoming feel of a New England farmhouse-inspired bakery-café.
The Arlington location features all the menu items and specialties that Bruegger's is known for, served in a cozy, welcoming atmosphere.

Boston College, Boston, Massachusetts, May 25-27, 2000
Recent changes in information technology have dramatically accelerated the pace of change in financial markets and institutions. The use of the internet for various financial transactions has increased the speed with which information can be disseminated widely, while significantly reducing the cost involved. This, in turn, has accelerated the pace of financial innovation, thus leading to dramatic changes in corporate financing practices and in the very nature of financial intermediation. One important effect of these advances in information technology has been to lay siege to the network of relationships which has traditionally served as the core of the production technology of a financial intermediary. The recent applications of internet technology to the pricing and distribution of securities (as pioneered by Wit capital and Hambrecht & Co in the context of IPOs) is only the latest example of how technology has begun to transform this network of relationships.
These developments raise several interesting issues regarding the impact of these advances in information technology and finance on:
- The pricing, distribution, and design of IPOs as well as seasoned security issues; the timing of the going-public decisions by firms; the design of rules for secondary market trading in IPOs
- The availability, costs, and benefits of venture capital financing; design of venture-capital contracts; the development of new institutions and strategies to finance high-risk and knowledge-based ventures
- The pace of financial innovation; the development of innovative financial products and strategies; the design of corporate securities
- The design of financial intermediaries; competition and co-operation between intermediaries; the rise of new kinds of financial intermediaries
- The design and ownership structure of stock exchanges and other financial markets; design of trading rules in financial markets; competition and co-operation between stock exchanges; the regulation of financial markets, intermediaries, and firms
The 2000 JFI Symposium will focus on these and other related issues. We are actively soliciting both theoretical and empirical papers that address these issues. The conference will be held at the Carroll School of Management, Boston College, in Boston, Massachusetts, and will be sponsored by the Financial Services Center at Boston College. There is no charge for submitting papers to the Symposium. The Symposium will be organized by Professors Thomas Chemmanur and William Wilhelm. Papers submitted to the Symposium may also be submitted to the JFI for consideration for publication. If you wish to have your paper considered for publication in the JFI, please indicate this and enclose a check for the reduced submission fee of $70 made out to The Journal of Financial Intermediation. The accepted papers will either appear in a dedicated issue of the JFI or be delineated in a regular issue, and will be subject to the usual standards of the JFI. Conference organizers will provide accommodation and travel expenses (subject to pre-specified limits) to authors whose papers are selected for the program.
Five copies of the paper should be sent to:

BONNEVILLE DAM, Wash. — The tiny fish-counting station, with its window onto the Columbia River, was darkened so the migrating salmon would not be spooked. And it was silent — until the shimmering bodies began to flicker by.
Then the room erupted with loud clicks, as Janet Dalen's fingers flew across her stumpy keyboard. Tallying the darting specimens, she chanted and chortled, her voice a cross between fish whisperer and aquatic auctioneer. Her body swayed from left to right. Her tightly curled bangs never moved.

Movie bosses behind Johnny Depp's forthcoming release Public Enemies are facing an additional filming cost from the mayor of the Wisconsin county the crime thriller was shot in – after a local road collapsed as a result of the traffic diversions to accommodate shooting.
The John Dillinger biopic was filmed in Columbus in March (08) after producers were attracted to the area by the governor's new movie incentives.
But during filming, state highway traffic had to be diverted away from the city centre and onto less congested routes – but the road, in Dodge County, could not handle the extra load and collapsed.
County officials were subsequently left with a $116,000 (£77,850) repair bill – leading to a lawsuit against Columbus city officials.
Columbus Mayor Nancy Osterhaus is now looking to split the cost with executives at movie studio
Public Enemies is scheduled for release in summer 2009. (c) WENN

The Daily Item
NORTHUMBERLAND — Two suspects are on the loose after a midday home invasion in Point Township, according to police.
One burglar forced his way in through a window of a home on Ridge Road at about 11:40 a.m. Tuesday and came face-to-face with the homeowner, said Chief Josh VanKirk.
The robber and the homeowner fled the home simultaneously, with the robber heading toward a waiting car and the homeowner going to a safe location to call police, VanKirk said. The victim's name was not released.
"(The homeowner) made a really safe decision to not engage and call police," he said.
The homeowner described the burglar, who was wearing a ski mask, as a man of average build and about 5 feet 8 inches tall, VanKirk said.
The victim was not able to provide a description of the driver of the getaway vehicle, but said the vehicle was light to medium blue, either a station wagon or hatchback and probably made in the 2000s, VanKirk said.
The burglars were able to elude police and got away with jewelry, he said. An estimate of the jewelry's worth was not available.
State police investigators processed the crime scene and recovered some evidence, he said.
There have been several incidents in the area recently, and VanKirk urged residents to keep their homes secured at all times.
"The message is to be vigilant, keep their homes locked, even while they are there during the day," he said.
Anyone with information is asked to call township police at 473-9364.

|Winds rip county
|Written by Sentinel-Tribune Staff
|Thursday, 11 July 2013 11:01
As the storm battered the area, public safety crews faced an onslaught of calls, including wires down on houses and tractor trailer rigs blown over on I-75. And after the storm had passed, crews and residents began the cleanup of the mess the high winds and heavy rain left in its wake.
Many residents remained without electrical power today.
First Energy was indicating outages in Perrysburg, rural Bowling Green, in several
locations between Weston and Grand Rapids, along Ohio 582 east and west of Ohio 25 and in the Pemberville and Bradner areas.
As of 9:45 a.m. AEP was reporting 1,040 customers in Wood County without power. Most of those customers are in the Cygnet and North Baltimore area.
As of 8 a.m. Hancock-Wood Electric was reporting 108 customers without power, mostly in area southeast of Bowling Green and in the Wayne and Bradner area. At one point Wednesday night Hancock Wood reported more than 1,000 customers without power.
Brad Gilbert, director of Wood County Emergency Management Agency, said some residents of Bradner and Wayne could be without power for a day or two. He said some rotation west of Bowling Green resulted in a tornado warning Wednesday, but no touch-downs were confirmed.
Residents across the county began cleaning up the mess Wednesday night. The sound of chain saws could be heard in many Bowling Green neighborhoods and the scene was no different in rural areas.
Mitchell Road between Bowling Green Road West and Sand Ridge was hard hit, as was the Stone Ridge Golf Club property. A house in the 800 block of Pine Valley was reported struck by lightning, trees fell on the golf course and the club's maintenance garage on Mitchell Road was wrecked.
Trees were down on houses on Mitchell Road.
In Bowling Green there were trees down across several streets and many more down or damaged on private property. The city recorded nine-tenths of an inch of rain at its wastewater treatment plant on Dunbridge Road.
Power was out several hours in some locations and there were a few scattered outages in the Bowling Green area this morning.
Within Bowling Green, tree branches fell onto streets, mostly cleared by police officers and public works employees.
A tree fell across the CSX railroad tracks at John Court, and there is heavy tree damage in Gypsy Lane Estates, according to Tony Hetrick, deputy chief of police.
The damage was "nothing like Monday morning," he said.
He added that several streets flooded with four to five inches of water, but all traffic signals continued to function.
"South of Bowling Green took a bigger hit," he stated.
Poe Road, west of Bowling Green, was hard hit with trees down and damage to several barns. Damage was reported especially heavy west of Potter Road.
Power outages remain an issue in North Baltimore, where tree and tree-related damage is widespread.
In the village, the streets department responded immediately after the storm to clear roads.
"When you drive down the road, there's piles of branches in everyone's yard," said police Chief Allan Baer.
A tree down at Broadway and Tarr streets was probably the worst issue, he said.
In Pemberville crews worked until about midnight to restore power knocked out by the storm.
This morning the effort turned to cleaning up the mess left by damage to trees
Traffic on I-75 has returned to normal speeds after being backed up for hours Wednesday in both directions. High wind knocked over several semis between Bowling Green and North Baltimore, both northbound and southbound.
Traffic was backed up past the Ohio 613 exit because of a semi off the road on I-75 and Ohio 18, and was backed up again to Cygnet Road from an overturned semi south of the Ohio 281 overpass.
Southbound, two semis were overturned a mile south of U.S. 6, which at 5:30 p.m. had traffic backed up to the Sugar Ridge Road overpass north of Bowling Green. At 7:30 p.m., traffic was still lined up to the Poe Road overpass.
Sand Ridge Road between Liberty Hi Road and Route 6 will likely remain closed most of today, as a large tree will have to be removed by a private contractor, said Wood County Highway Garage Superintendent Gary Britten.
Two other roads west of Bowling Green were closed Wednesday due to downed trees and power lines, but they reopened this morning. Britten said the affected areas included Bowling Green Road West between Mitchell Road and Liberty Hi Road, and Mermill Road from Liberty Hi Road to Wingston Road.
Britten said a section of North River Road is closed between Zepperneck and Wayne Roads. He expects Sand Ridge Road to be open by the end of the day..
Mark Dunsmoor, commissioner of public utilities for Perrysburg, confirmed the public utilities building lost power for several hours before it was restored at about 7:30 p.m. Wednesday. He said high water flooded some ditches and streets but receded once the rain stopped.
Wood County Sheriff's Department Chief Eric Reynolds summarized the situation as "it was bad all over."
The good news is that he said he was unaware of any injuries.
Reynolds said much of the damage was focused west of Bowling Green along Poe Road as several barns were down.
He also noted many problems between Portage and Cygnet.
Traffic on Ohio 25 was diverted onto Bays Road, south of Portage.
Many trees are down across the county along with power lines and other obstacles closing numerous roads.
Reynolds reported this morning that Loeffler Road in Jerry City remained closed as a tree came down on a parked car in that village.
He also knows of a house that was damaged on Euler Road when an oak tree came down onto the home.

According to espn's Chris Mortenson the Lions braintrust is considering firing the Schwartz, fed up with failure to turn around a culture of undisciplind losing.
CBS link: http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/blog/eye-o ... m-schwartz
Ford has been notoriously loyal to coaches, moreso GMs, but they might be less loyal to those who embarrass them. Also they have been very quick to try and fix a problem by scapegoating. Especially true with first time coaches. Consider Schwartz's embarrassing handshake gate, throwing the flag and the multiple off and on field problems with disciplin. His miraculous playoff season last year probably saves him, but if he follows it up with another loosey-goosey losing season next year he could be done.

This app allows customers with the SYNC TDI (Traffic, Directions and Information) service to search for and save destinations to their individual cloud-based software for easy access back in the car. What's more, the app uses predictive traffic, powered by INRIX, which provides recommended departure times along with estimated travel times for commutes.
Ford says that by using SYNC Destinations, TDI users will be able to better plan the "when and where" of their commutes, simply by using the INRIX features found within the app. Specifically, aids like traffic maps with real-time speed and accident information, traffic forecasts and easy look-up of addresses will make adding new destinations to the user's SYNC system easier than before, and more accessible while on the go (and not in the car).
SYNC Destinations will make its official debut at CES in January. For the full details, follow the jump to read Ford's press release.

• Free SYNC Destinations app is available today for Apple iPhone, Apple iPad and Android-based devices and can be downloaded through the Apple App Store and Android Market
• SYNC Destinations is available to owners of 2010-2011 SYNC-equipped, TDI-capable vehicles who have a registered and active TDI services account on www.syncmyride.com
DEARBORN, Mich., Dec. 29, 2010 – Owners of 2010 and 2011 Ford SYNC-equipped vehicles that are Traffic, Directions and Information (TDI)-capable can now download a free smartphone app designed to help get them where they need to go with less hassle.
Ford launched the SYNC Destinations mobile app today for Apple iPhone, Apple iPad and Android-based devices, with BlackBerry smartphones coming soon. Available at no cost, the app gives users of TDI services mobile access to a host of navigation and traffic information specifically designed to make any trip easier.
"SYNC Destinations leverages the power of your smartphone to manage a user's SYNC Services account and to plan ahead, sending destination locations to your car, and knowing what's happening on the road ahead of you before you even get behind the wheel," said Dave Gersabeck, SYNC TDI product manager.
With the SYNC Destinations app, TDI users have an exclusive on-the-go link to their cloud-based SYNC Services account on www.syncmyride.com, where they can add, save and manage "Saved Points" or addresses. A maximum of 25 Saved Points can be accessed through the app. Locations added via SYNC Destinations are immediately accessible through SYNC Services once in the vehicle, with turn-by-turn directions delivered to the car only a few simple voice commands away.
"With SYNC Destinations, you can be standing in line for a coffee, making impromptu plans with a friend or sitting at the ballgame, and conveniently add a new address to your Saved Points – without ever stopping to log into your account at a personal computer," adds Gersabeck.
With SYNC Destinations, SYNC TDI users can also better plan the when and where of their commutes, accessing real-time traffic information, reliable traffic forecasts and other time-saving features powered by INRIX, a leading provider of traffic information and driver services. Key benefits include:
• Traffic maps with real-time speed, accident and incident information for all highways, interstates, arterials and city streets in 126 metropolitan areas across North America
• Reliable traffic forecasts that predict how travel times are expected to change over time, based on sophisticated analysis of current traffic conditions, day of the week, season, holidays and related days, current and forecast weather, accidents and road construction, as well as other unique local events such as school schedules, sports games and concerts
• Fastest routes based on current and expected traffic conditions as well as recommended departure times, expected travel times and ETAs that make navigating to daily destinations, whether across town or cross-country, easier than ever
• Easy look-up of addresses for new destinations through local business search and address book integration
"SYNC Destinations is an easy-to-use mobile tool that gives busy, on-the-go SYNC users the flexibility to search and save locations for quick access in the car, plus, with features such as predictive traffic, users can take some of the guesswork out of their daily trips by preplanning the best estimated time of departure to get around town quickly and easily," said Gersabeck.
Also specific to SYNC Destinations is a 5 mph lockout feature, which automatically halts the app from running on a smartphone once it is detected to be traveling in excess of 5 mph, helping drivers stay focused on the task of driving.
Ford, Lincoln and Mercury owners of 2010 and 2011 SYNC-equipped, TDI-capable vehicles can download the SYNC Destinations app for free from the Apple App Store and Android Market. To activate it, the user has to enter his or her www.syncmyride.com login credentials. Once those credentials are submitted, the app confirms the user's TDI subscription status, and is then unlocked and ready for use.
Ford will feature demos of SYNC Destinations at the Pepcom Digital Experience media event in Las Vegas on Jan. 5, 2011, and then at the 2011 International CES consumer technology trade show in Las Vegas between Jan. 6 and Jan. 9, 2011.

Atlanta police are looking for a man in connection with an Aug. 22 shooting of an Edgewood resident in the chest.
The incident, which took place in the 20 block of Hutchinson St. NE, occurred at about 2 a.m.
Police gave the following account:
The victim's husband came home from work and as he entered their home, he heard a gunshot and when he went to his bedroom, he saw his wife come through a side door, clutching her chest.
The victim told investigators she didn't know who shot at her but that she was standing in her backyard when the bullet hit her.
Pressed further, she said a man wearing a green shirt fired at her.
Investigators found a shell casing in the kitchen area and what seemed to be a bullet hole in the television in the living room.
The victim, who was taken to Grady Memorial Hospital for treatment, was listed in stable condition.

Pond Pumps
Water Pumps
Types Of Pumps
Pumps Online Store
Solar submersible pumps are designed to move water by tapping on solar energy
harnessed from the sun. These pumps can perform its functions well even when the sun is out.
Pumps are primarily used to move water. The first designs of solar submersible pumps
that came out were used to move water on a horizontal plane. Today, with the advanced solar panels and developments
in the solar submersible pumps assembly, the pumps can now lift water for use in waterfalls, fountains or to move
water to higher elevations than the actual source of the water.
Another feature of solar submersible pumps is that it is installed underwater. Placing the pump
completely immersed in water has its advantages. It requires less cost in installation for one does not need
another casing to hide the pump, like in the case when the pump is placed out in the open. Hiding the pump
underwater also helps to muffle the sound of the pump. Thus the peace and tranquility of the surrounding area is
maintained. The fact that the pump is underwater helps to maintain the even temperature of the pump. It helps in
the cooling off process of the pump thus preventing overheating. This indirectly assists in prolonging the life of
the pump assembly.
The feature that sets the solar submersible pumps apart from the rest of the pumps is that it is
solar powered. These pumps are powered by harnessing the sun's rays. Using this as an energy source, the entire
system depends on the solar panels that are placed high above the water. The solar panel does not necessarily have
to be placed near the source of water. In fact, it is advised that it be placed in an area that is clear of shade
so that it can get the most sunlight. The advancement in assembly now allows the solar panels to be mounted on a
pivoting base that can move the panels to allow greater access to sunlight at all times of the day.
Using the sun's energy resource has proven to be eco-friendly and economical. It is eco-friendly
for it uses no fossil fuel. Without the burning of fossil fuels, the resultant carbon emissions harmful to the
environment are absent. The noise that usually accompanies the movement of the pumps is also absent. Thus, the use
of solar submersible pumps help preserve the excavation of fossil fuels, helps keep the environment free of toxic
carbon emissions and does not further contribute to the surrounding noise pollution.
The greatest advantage of using solar submersible pumps is that the energy resource is free. There are no additional charges for the
valuable energy obtained. The basic expenses incurred in setting up a system will be to purchase a solar panel,
motor, pump, and pipe.
Unconvinced consumers and skeptics say that the use of solar submersible pumps is limited when there is no sun, such as in the evenings or
when the day is a cloudy one. The solution is simple. One can either store the energy obtained during the day in
batteries or let the pump work overtime during the day to store water in tanks for use in the evenings. These
solutions are the best and most practical ones. To attach another power source, be it electrical or gas, for use
in the evenings is an additional expense which one can do without. Thus, applying these solutions accomplishes
the primary purpose of solar pumps even when the sun is out.
The solar submersible pumps, especially small submersible pumps, are therefore reliable, efficient, eco-friendly
and economical.

Sully District Supervisor Michael Frey and School Board member Kathy Smith will host a town hall meeting on the Fairfax County budget March 13.
The meeting starts at 7 p.m. at the Little Theatre in Rocky Run Middle School, Chantilly. Fairfax County and Fairfax County Public Schools management and budget staff will also co-host along with the Western Fairfax County Citizens Association and Sully District Council.
County executive Ed Long's advertised budget includes a 2-cent increase in the real estate tax rate, which is projected to raise nearly $42 million in count revenue.
When coupled with increases in real estate assessments, the proposed rate would cost the average county household about $262 more in real estate taxes.
The mean real estate tax assessment for the Centreville area is projected to rise by 3.14 percent.

There's a rumor going around that Steven Tyler is dead from the fall off stage he took on Wednesday night at a performance in Sturgis, South Dakota. Tyler fell during Aerosmith's performance of "Love In an Elevator" and was taken to the emergency room for injuries to his head and neck. As of yesterday, details of how serious those injuries were were not released and now there's a rumor circling that he's dead. Is it true?
NO. He is not dead. The world of Rock'n'Roll can rest easy. He didn't walk away without any injuries though. He broke his shoulder and bled profusely on the way to the hospital. The band had to postpone tonigh'ts concert in Winnepeg, Canada.
I don't know why these rumors start but they're scary when you first hear them. After losing one of the world's best performers just a month ago in Michael Jackson, I don't think we're ready to lose another one!

Clean Air Campaign partners gathered in Midtown Atlanta during the midpoint of Air Quality Awareness Week to earn their "MBA: Master's in Better Air."
The "Air We Breathe" seminar offered learning opportunities from air quality experts, covering health issues, regulatory progress and actionable ideas that can make a difference. Here are some highlights from the event:
- According to Dr. Jeremy Sarnat, associate professor at the Emory Rollins School of Public Health, air quality issues have been present for centuries, as evidenced by hieroglyphics from Egypt that illustrate difficulty breathing and a Renaissance painting style that attempted to depict atmospheric pollution that can be seen in works like DaVinci's Mona Lisa.
- While respiratory issues have been the primary focus of scientific studies, new evidence suggests other systems are affected by exposure to polluted air, including the reproductive system, nervous system and circulatory system. The more we learn about the harmful effects of air pollution, the more important it becomes to take action.
- Studies show that air quality can affect life expectancy. A famous study examined ambient air pollution in six cities in the US over a period of 15 years and found differences in life expectancy based on concentrations of particle pollution. A follow-up study also showed how coordinated changes actually brought improvements to life expectancy.
- Expressed in terms of costs relative to benefits, by the year 2020 the Clean Air Act could deliver a projected $2 trillion in health benefits at an implementation cost of $65 billion.
- Scott Davis, Air Planning Branch Chief for the US Environmental Protection Agency Region IV, discussed National Ambient Air Quality Standards designed to protect public health and welfare.
- Changes were announced by EPA this week related to ground-level ozone regulations. With the implementation of the 2008 standard, fifteen Metro Atlanta counties were recommended for designation as a marginal non-attainment area based on data indicating ground-level ozone concentrations exceeded federal standards.
- Other regulatory decisions on the horizon could see a new standard announced for particle pollution in June, based on new evidence from the Clean Air Science Advisory Committee on public health and welfare impacts.
- Clean Air Campaign Executive Director Tedra Cheatham walked through actionable ways Georgians can limit their exposure to unhealthy air and reduce their contribution to air pollution problems.
For more background on the air we breathe, including the science behind air quality and ideas on what you can do to protect yourself, visit the "Your Transportation and Air Quality" section of The Clean Air Campaign's website.

The wrongful death suit filed by the family of a man who drowned in the Fox River near the Geneva dam in 2011 returns to court Dec. 13, court documents indicate.
The city of Geneva and Geneva Park District were sued by the family of Naperville resident Randy Suchy, who drowned while rescuing a 12-year-old boy he had taken fishing on Aug. 5, 2011.
According to an article on the website of Briskman Briskman & Greenberg, the lawfirm representing the family members, the wrongful death lawsuit claimed that "the city of Geneva knew it was unsafe and potentially lethal for children and adults to be on land in close proximity to the water, and the downstream side of the Geneva dam."
Geneva's attorneys asked a judge to dismiss the suit, according to a Daily Herald article. Court documents now indicate a hearing on a dismissal motion will be held at 9:30 a.m. Dec. 13 in Room 350 of the Kane County Judicial Center.
Suchy, who was 59, took two boys fishing at the Geneva dam, according to reports. He entered the water to save one of the 12-year-old boy, who had been caught in the undertow.
A group of Naperville bicyclists were riding through Geneva when they spotted Suchy's struggles in the water. They immediately contacted Geneva police and some made rescue attempts themselves. Geneva fire and police officials went into the water, pulled Suchy and the boy to the shore. The boy lived, Suchy could not be revived.
Suchy was later laid to rest, and the bicyclists were honored at a Geneva City Council meeting.
Suchy's family alleged the city should be held liable for its failure to monitor the area, according to the attorney's website article, suggesting that, "while there are warning signs, the area had not been roped off."

This story was published on 11/11/11 at 11:11 a.m. to reveal just how the number 11 adds up.
There won't be another opportunity to see a such a string of date and time 11s or extol the lack of the number 11′s virtues for another 100 years.
So here goes.
Veterans Day ceremonies, held each year on Nov. 11, began today in Arlington National Cemetery, precisely at 11 a.m.
And that's pretty much the number 11′s claim to fame.
Unless you are celebrating your 11th birthday today – and that's too cool – eleven is the Rodney Dangerfield of numbers.
Oh sure, numerologists, metaphysicians, psychics, occultists, conspiracy theorists and other kooks will talk in hushed tones about some great cosmic shift, a harmonic convergence, or some crack in the portal to hell, but there's really little significance to the numerically auspicious date and time nor for the number 11 itself.
Medieval numerologists who believed in a mystical significance to numbers, thought all numbers had both positive and negative aspects, except for 11. Writes Petrus Bungus, 16th century scholar 11 "has no connection with divine things, no ladder reaching up to things above, nor any merit."
That's left the number virtually cast out of the numbers game and more often associated with evil or sinners.
Eleven is a lonely number, lonelier than the number 1.
It is overshadowed on both sides by "top" tens and "dirty dozens." Even the biblically, mythologically, spiritually, culturally and mathematically significant number 9 and feared number 13 have greater appeal.
Ironically and coincidentally, "triskaidekaphobia," an unreasonable fear of the number 13, is a word that was coined the last time 11/11/11 made headlines, in 1911.
There's something foreboding about that numerical connection – the 9/11 date, 911 emergency calls – but, number 11? This is your story, so let's stick to it.
Eleven more points of trivia about number 11
• Number 11 is the first number you can't additively count to on your fingers. Well, for the vast number of people.
• If a number is divisible by 11, reversing its digits will result in another boring multiple of 11. Try it.
• Number 11 is the sixth prime number and the fifth smallest prime number with some mathematical peculiarities; 11 x 11 = 121; 111111 x 111111 = 12345654321; 111111111 x 111111111 = 12345678987654321.
• The binary number 111111 converts to the decimal number 63.
• Thousands of couples are flocking to Vegas wedding chapels today for a wedding date they'll never forget, but may regret.
• Speaking of Vegas, the number 11 is a favorite among blackjack and crap players.
• A new movie from the netherworld of the Netherlands, '11-11-11′ premiers today in limited release from the director of Saw I, III and IV. "On the eleventh day of the eleventh month of the eleventh year, a gateway will open … and on this day, innocent blood will spill," says a voiceover in the trailer.
• In addition to Veterans Day, November 11th each year is Corduroy Appreciation Day. Corduroy enthusiasts say the 11|11 date most resembles the lines of corduroy fabric. The group is also hot for 1/11 every year.
• Ellen DeGeneres has a record label aptly named eleveneleven. Ironically, it records lesser-known artists.
• The domain name eleveneleven.com belongs to an obscure cover band from Philadelphia. We don't care why.
• Don't bother looking up other domain names with a string of "11s" or "elevens". Too many zeros.

George lived at Dogue Run Farm and worked as a ditcher in 1792 but had his assignments changed later in the year, becoming a gardener. As George Washington wrote to farm manager Anthony Whiting, "I think you had better turn Sam and George over to the Gardener, that their work may appear in his Report....This will simplify the Mansion house report greatly, and let me see more clearly what that gang are employed in...." George also was assigned to work at the blacksmith shop in March 1793, while Smith George was sick.1

When you come from a family of four boys, you would think the youngest would pick up where the older boys left off and follow in their footsteps. But with Sawyer Soucie of Lawrenceville, he goes a different route. Although he plays and likes football like his older three brothers, Sawyer loves the basketball court. And though he likes video games, he'd rather be outside doing activities.
Soucie, who scored three points and grabbed nine rebounds in his team's quarterfinal win over Osborne this past Wednesday, plays post for Twin Rivers Bears, the feeder school for Mountain View. Soucie, who grew up in the Dacula school district until they changed the districts when the new school Mountain View opened. He also attended all his life and is a devout Christian.
"Sawyer got involved in basketball a few years ago and expressed an interest in it," explained Skip Soucie, Sawyer's father. "I sought out the eighth grade coach Phil Bollier and asked if I could get some coaching. Sawyer got some additional coaching. Being the youngest of four boys, he probably had to be a little more athletic but he does have some natural talent."
Soucie's team jumped out to a 23-8 halftime lead holding Osborne scoreless in the second period and withstood a fierce rally to win 35-30 and advance to the semifinals on Saturday. Although Soucie only had 3 points he had a free throw with 6.7 seconds left and grabbed his ninth rebound on the miss to run out the clock. "Along with natural talent if you ask his coach, he works very hard," the older Soucie said. "He's a very focused and committed young man. I can't take credit for them being good boys, I have to give that credit to God."
Bollier echoed the sentiment. With 6:33 left in a tight game and the Hawks rallying to trail by four at 31-27. Bollier put Soucie back into the game. "He's a garbage man and works very hard at practice," Bollier said. "So he's earned that spot and he came through for us which is great. We work hard and our guys really care a lot about each other."
Soucie himself loves the sport and credits his parents, coach Bollier and of course God. "I like basketball because it's a little more fast paced," said Soucie. "I think the toughness that I got from my brothers helps me down low in the post."
Soucie says if he's not on the court he likes to go to church and do activities at North Metro. "I play in another league and that's a church league and that's just for fun," said Soucie. "I don't like video games as much. I'd rather be outside more and playing games." He did add that if he was left by himself stranded on a deserted island he'd love to have a goal, a ball and of course his Bible. "I'm going to try to play basketball as far as I can," said Soucie. "After that I want to be an entrepreneur." Soucie credits his parents and the way they raised the four boys for his demeanor. "We read proverbs every day," he said. "It's just how we live."
And for his efforts, Sawyer Soucie of Twin Rivers Middle School is our athlete of the week.

New Music: Mavado f/ Nicki Minaj – 'Give It All to Me'
Fresh off her collaboration with Sean Paul ("Entertainment"), Nicki Minaj jumps on Jamaican star Mavado's new single "Give It All to Me," produced by Ja Productions. The Trini gal returns to her island roots, singing and rapping in a Caribbean accent as she rides the overdrive riddim.
"I hit up Instagram, post some nudes up," raps Nicki, while shouting out fellow islander Rihanna. "Caribbean girls run it, ask RiRi."
Dutty wine to their reggae rhythm.

Milford today mourns the loss of football and baseball coach and teacher Kenneth R. Walker, who died Friday days before his 61st birthday.
The Connecticut Post reported that Walker died in his sleep of an apparent heart attack. He would have been 61 on Wednesday. He is survived by his wife, Nancy, and their two children, Whitney and Garrett.
Under his coaching leadership, Foran won the Class M state football championship in 1994.
In a statement, the Milford Public Schools administration said Walker had an "illustrious" 37-year career with the school system, and taught for more than two decades at Foran High School, where he served as coach for the football, basketball and baseball teams.
"I regret to inform you of the tragic loss of Mr. Ken Walker, our beloved teacher, coach and friend to many. Mr. Walker has been a part of the school and Milford community for decades. Personally, Kenny was a friend and mentor to me for the past 18 years. On behalf of the Foran faculty and staff, I know you will join me in keeping Mr. Walker and his family in your thoughts during this difficult time. We will miss him dearly." — John Barile, Principal of Foran High School (an excerpt of a message he sent to the community through the district's School Messenger system.
"Ken Walker was an outstanding person who excelled in all he did. As a teacher and a coach, he developed his students and athletes to their greatest potential. He had a great sense of humor, was generous to all, and helped all who knew him. His death is a great loss to our community, and an even greater loss to his wonderful family. We will miss him." — Michael Cummings, Assistant Superintendent of Milford Public Schools and former Principal of Foran High School
"Ken was what I would describe as a gentle soul. He saw the best in everyone and absolutely loved working with kids. He was dedicated to what he did and always gave 100 percent. This is a huge loss for all of us." — Clifford Bugyi, longtime colleague and friend.
Walker received his Bachelor's Degree in Physical Education from Central Connecticut State College in 1973, and a Master of Science Degree in Physical Education/Special Needs from Southern Connecticut State College in 1984.
The school district statement said: "An avid sports enthusiast, Mr. Walker was well known in athletic circles throughout the region, particularly as a coach of youth and high school football, basketball and baseball."
Walker served as a coach at Milford High School and Jonathan Law High School as well as at Foran.
"He has mentored literally thousands of young people through his years in the district."
Calling hours will be held at , 170 Broad Street, Milford, from 1 to 5 p.m. on Sunday, and a funeral Mass is scheduled for Monday at 10:30 a.m. at St. Mary Church, 70 Gulf Street.
In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made in Coach Walker's name to the Joseph A. Foran High School Scholarship Fund (add Coach Walker's name on the check memo) at 80 Foran Road, Milford, CT 06460.

So today, I am announcing my intention to resign my seat in the House. I will make that resignation effective sometime before mid-June, but largely dependent on the congressional calendar. I plan to begin focusing on the next phase of my life as a private citizen.... I have no fear whatsoever about any investigation into me or my personal or professional activities. As one of my colleagues in the House leadership astutely observed a while back, the wheels of justice turn much more slowly than the wheels of allegation.I will be quite content to be judged when the passage of time has provided both all of the facts and a greater sense of perspective than is possible for most today.
Until recently it was assumed that only states could cause mass casualties – and our rules, conventions & laws are largely predicated on that basis. That is quite plainly no longer the case. I believe we need now to consider whether we – the international community in its widest sense - need to re-examine these conventions. If we do not, we risk continuing to fight a 21st Century conflict with 20th Century rules.

Depending on whose rules were broken, North Carolina football players could wind up in uniform Saturday against LSU in Atlanta, even if they are suspended for the game.
If an athlete is found to have broken a school rule, UNC could allow him to travel with the team and wear his uniform on the sideline.
But if any Tar Heel is found to have broken NCAA rules, he would not be allowed to dress for the game and likely wouldn't be on the sideline at all.
UNC is currently in the midst of two investigations. While the NCAA continues to probe whether there was improper contact between UNC football players and agents, a university investigative team is also looking into whether a former tutor - who was employed by both the school and head football coach Butch Davis - gave inappropriate help to players on written assignments for class.
Depending on how deep the inquiries have gone, players could be tagged for breaking NCAA rules, school rules or both.
If a player is ineligible for competition per NCAA guidelines, the school cannot pay for any travel expenses, UNC senior associate athletic director Larry Gallo explained via e-mail Sunday. If the player travels on his own dime, the NCAA allows him to be on the sideline at the school's discretion, but not in uniform.
However, if a player is suspended for breaking a school rule, but remains eligible for competition per NCAA guidelines, he can travel with the team and can be in uniform, if the school permits.
The institution makes those sideline/uniform decisions on an individual, case-by-case basis, Gallo wrote.
Last season, UNC typically had its football travel roster for Saturday games ready by Thursday. The 18th-ranked Tar Heels will leave Friday for their season-opener at the Chick-fil-A Kickoff Classic; game time Saturday is 8 p.m.
It is unclear if, or how many, players might be suspended. But during the news conference to announce the school's academic probe Thursday, athletic director Dick Baddour said the school's investigation likely will extend past the start of the season - and that decisions about who will or won't play could be made on game day.
The ACC allows only 72 players - whether they are redshirting, injured or suspended - to travel to away league games.
However, there is no limit for nonconference games, such as Saturday's showdown with the Tigers.
UNC's travel party for nonconference games usually includes 72-75 players. But Gallo wrote that because No. 21 LSU is a special game, UNC might travel with more than 75, although he didn't know the exact number as of Sunday.

, which opened on Seventh Avenue in 1973, will close its doors on Saturday, January 14. They will be closed for about a month until they find a new location in the neighborhood.
"Our lease is up and the store is big. We are behind on rent and our landlord even lowered it for us, but we cannot catch up," said Karen Hue, co-owner of the coffee and tea specialty shop. "There has been a dry spell, we haven't been pulling in a lot of business."
According to Victoria Cook, the other co-owner of the shop between Union Street and Berkeley Place, business has been bad since 2008. She said that six months before the recession hit the rest of the country, Leaf N Bean started to feel the effects of the economic downturn.
"Things started getting difficult, business seriously slowed down," Cook explained. "We maintained through the toughest years, but it's time to get out, regroup and analyze how we can make more money in a smaller space."
She also said that Seventh Avenue as a business district has been declining, and that hasn't helped their store either. Cook explained that there were five empty stores surrounding their business for seven years.
But, on Friday, the shop was busy with regulars filing in, asking where they are moving, buying their usual pound of coffee or tea and looking at the sales (merchandise is going for 50 percent off and tea, candy and food is 25 percent off).
"It's sad news. The small mom-and-pop shops like this one are what make Park Slope what it is," said a woman who has lived in the neighborhood for a quarter century, Ellen Freudenheim, the editor of Brooklyn About.com. "My husband and I have been coming here since forever."
Another woman, who was speaking to Hue at the counter, said she will miss leaf N Bean.
"As long as they are going to open another store I am fine," said Lisa Jaeger, who is Hue's chiropractor's wife, while in the store on Friday. "This was the first place you could buy loose tea and coffee in bulk."
The customers seem to be dedicated to the shop and its owners. Everyone who came in on Friday seemed to know Hue and Cook very well.
Hue said there is a reason for the amicability between the businesswomen and their patrons.
"We aim to please whatever our customers want, we spoil them," said Hue, who has been working there since 1990.
She explained that 25 of their regulars have their own blends. She pointed to a small, green metal file box, filled with different blends and the patrons' name and phone number.
The personalized mixtures have names like "Louise's Blend," "Weiner's Blend" and "Jill's Blend."
Years ago, Leaf N Bean made a special blend for a restaurant on Fifth Avenue called Mike and Tony's and the eponymous blend is still selling.
She also said that they know how to grind coffee like no other coffeehouse.
She explained that they have three grinders, one is just for flavored coffee and the other two have settings ranging from Turkish, which produces the finest grind, like the texture of "baby powder," to Toddy, which is the coarsest setting.
Hue said that she has patrons who ask for very precise grinds. One regular always gets their java ground on the one-thirds setting and another only likes his ground on the two-eighths setting.
The intimacy Leaf N Bean has with their patrons seems unparalleled. Hue said she is so close with her customers that she knows more about a customer's spouse than they might.
"I have a lot of housewives that come and say, 'I don't know what my husband likes, but you do,'" Hue said with a smile, then she said with a laugh: "I am the other woman."
Despite their economic trouble, the duo is determined to bring the store to a new location. They have respect for the business they bought from the original owner, Allan Mehlberg, in 2003.
"Allan had foresight because there was nothing here like a Starbucks," Cook said. "He pioneered gourmet coffee for your home in Brooklyn."
They said they do not have a place in mind, but they are thinking their new shop will be on Fifth Avenue.
Although the economy is still hurting, they will prevail, Hue and Cook said.
"We will open a new store in one month, while the momentum is hot. We don't want to lose our customers," said Hue, who was talking with nostalgic patrons who all had a say-it-ain't-so-sentiment written across their faces. "A promise is a promise."

Dinner's served at the school board?
Last week, the School Board and Rosa Fort principal Stan Collins met for a hearing to discuss Collins' termination from the local school system. Our account gives me a pretty good idea of what happened and all I can say is thank you Board of Education for never allowing there to be a dull moment.
I've received several phone calls and emails about this in the days following, although I didn't actually write the story. You all must know how this subject is near and dear to my heart.

Rebecca Unger of the Desert Trail Reports:
After four hours and 420 pages, the city council vowed at its meeting of Tuesday, June 26, to return to reviewing the 2012/13 draft budget at its next meeting.
The council had various problems with City Manager Richard Warne's budget that included archival photographs, political cartoons, colorful charts, graphs and pie charts, department descriptions — and $1.7 million from reserves for capital projects and purchases.
Three of the 5 Council were not impressed:
The council also told Warne to sharpen his pencil over administrative costs that seemed to balloon in the 2012/13 year as compared to prior years. The draft budget projected a three percent growth in revenues and a 25 percent growth in expenditures.
He was told to go back and trim down the 420+ page document into something understandable.

The ongoing developments in Greece's debt crisis has led to investor questions about exposure to Greek debt. Northern Funds and Northern Institutional Funds money market funds ("the Funds") hold no direct exposure to Greek debt.
- The Funds hold about 30% in European bank exposure (which includes foreign agencies), well below the industry average. The average U.S. money market fund had 44% invested in short-term debt of European banks according to Fitch, Inc. on June 17, 2011.
- Indirect exposure to Greek debt may likely be concentrated in French and German banks. Northern holds no more than 2% per bank.
- The Funds total exposure to French banks is 8% and to one German bank at 2%.
- Indirect exposure to Greek debt may likely be concentrated in French and German banks. Northern holds no more than 2% per bank.
- The Greek debt challenges are not new. Northern Trust Global Investment's Fixed Income Credit Research group has always monitored such credit exposures and for more than a year has increased monitoring of European banks' exposures to Greece, including stress testing of the European banks' balance sheets based on their Greek debt being priced down to 0.
- In 2009, our Fixed Income Credit Research reviewed all global bank exposures, resulting in pare backs; some exposures were eliminated, some reduced in size and many were limited by length of maturity. These reductions remain in place.
- Fund Management firmly believes the European banks in which the Funds invest are large, systemically important banks with strong capital bases and are well positioned to weather through. Fund Management would expect but cannot assure that the European Central Bank and country central banks will support the banks we own.
- At his press conference following the Federal Reserve Board meeting June 22, Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke downplayed any immediate threats to money funds from Greek sovereign debt.

When Jane Miller was climbing the ladder, she met a potential employer she found very friendly and charismatic (janeknows.com). Did Miller have pets? A chance to discuss her cuties quickly disarmed her.
She began explaining that they were surrogate kids, or at least that she treated them that way, then mentioned that she spoiled them and was virtually inseparable from them (although they didnt accompany her to the interview).
Realizing she was sliding down a slippery slope, Miller commented, Theyre just dogs. I dont dress them in clothes or anything over-to-top like that.
The interviewer was fond of dogs, too. His wife sewed outfits for their dog and matching ones for herself.
I took a sip of my drink and changed the subject, Miller says. I did get the job, but I made it harder on myself than I needed to by making irrelevant commentary!
She points out that if you slip in explaining why you left your last job my boss was an idiot you can recover.
The new boss probably knows the idiot, she explains. Back-track quickly with, That was an inappropriate statement. We had some disagreements, but Id really like to share with you my accomplishments there.

Once again MLB 08: The Show delivers as expected. There is no competition anywhere for this franchise and even though 2K Sports is trying hard with their MLB 2K series, they're still coming up short. It'll be another couple of years before they can really compete.
We like
- Road to the Show improvements
- Solid online play
- Great pitcher/hitter analysis
We dislike
- Visual tearing is rough
- Camera angles are too tight
- Lack of throwing meter

SNAP: Integrating natural defenses into coastal disaster risk reduction

The world's coastal zones are changing rapidly and their rate of change is predicted to increase from coastal development and climate change; both of which will dramatically increase risks of catastrophic damage to coastal communities. Already, the proportion of the world's GDP annually exposed to tropical cyclones has increased from 3.6 % in the 1970s to 4.3 % in the first decade of the 2000s (UNISDR 2011). In 2011, insured losses from natural disasters (especially coastal and riverine hazards) reached an all-time high and impacts will continue to worsen with continued climate change. Looking globally at socio-economic vulnerability to all natural hazards (e.g., earthquakes, fires, storms), the top 15 most at-risk nations are all coastal, tropical and developing nations (World Risk Report 2012). Erosion, inundation and extreme weather events affect hundreds of millions of vulnerable people, important infrastructure, tourism, and trade—with significant losses to national economies and major impacts on human suffering. Ecosystem degradation raises these risks by further exposing communities and assets to more waves, winds and water. Coastal and marine habitats, particularly coral reefs and wetlands, are at the front line of many of these changes and are increasingly lost and degraded. Global losses of coastal habitats are as high as 85% for oyster reefs; 30-50% for wetlands; and approximately 20% for coral reefs. Often the loss of these habitats is greatest around population centers. That is, where the most people could benefit from these ecosystems is often where their impacts and loss have been the greatest. Billions of dollars are moving to reduce risks from disasters and climate change, creating both threats and opportunities for natural systems. Total Fast Start Finance commitments under the UNFCCC (through 2012) include roughly $3 billion for climate adaptation assistance. In the US, FEMA spends $500 million/year to reduce flooding hazards. Middle income countries such as Colombia, Brazil and China are making multibillion dollar investments to address risks of flooding and other disasters exacerbated by climate change. Cities are also mobilizing quickly: New York, for example, have robust climate adaptation plans and is working to address climate impacts with other mega-cities via the C40 effort. Most these funds are destined for the creation of "grey infrastructure" such as seawalls, which will further degrade coastal ecosystems, and may not be cost effective for risk reduction when compared to more natural and hybrid alternatives. Because of the wave of global science following Katrina and the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, decision-makers (e.g., post-Sandy), recognize that coastal habitats have some role to play in risk reduction. Those decision-makers now are rightly asking (i) How cost-effective are natural ecosystems for coastal defense? (ii) Where and how should we restore these natural defenses? (iii) How do we create incentives to reduce risks by conserving coastal habitats? We will constitute a SNAP Working Group, composed of leaders from coastal engineering, conservation, ecology, aid and development, to address these problems head-on. We will (a) Provide evidence on when, where and how investments in natural defenses are cost-effective; (b) Develop practical guidance & tools for decision-makers & practitioners to implement solutions; (c) Identify policy and financial incentives that lead to reduced risks for people and nature. To enhance the pathways to impact and opportunities for practical implementation, we will also convene a Resource User Group, to test and provide feedback about the research insights and tools developed by the SNAP Working Group. We will also establish a SNAP Rapid Recovery team to be well prepared for the predictable likelihood that a tropical cyclone will hit a core project site in September/October 2015. After every disaster, there is a scramble to identify new development and restoration policies and practices that help in the recovery of the infrastructure and environment. These restoration and recovery decisions get made very quickly (often in the first 3-16 weeks post-storm), and there is an urgent demand for evidence-based guidance in the development of sensible policies and practices. Our programs and leaders (e.g., Tercek) have been asked to help write and direct these policies and practices on very tight timelines. Decades of intractable development policies can be turned on their head and billions of dollars are unleashed post-event – much of which could be better directed for risk reduction and conservation. This project is supported by the Science for Nature and People (SNAP) initiative, generously funded through founding grants by Shirley and Harry Hagey, Steve and Roberta Denning, Ward W. Woods, Jr., Seth Neiman, and the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation.
