New Jersey Prolene Mesh Cases Transferred to Different Court
A recent court order issued in the New Jersey Ethicon vaginal mesh MCL has transferred Prolene abdominal mesh cases to a different state court location…. Read more
The TransVaginal Mesh Lawsuit Center provides comprehensive information about these dangerous mesh products and the harms they can cause.
Nearly $20 million has been awarded to women hurt by vaginal mesh implants. If you are experiencing harmful side effects as a result of having received a vaginal mesh implant, you deserve compensation for your injuries. That includes your out-of-pocket costs, lost wages, and pain and suffering. But don't expect the manufacturer of your mesh implant to volunteer to cover your expenses.
Learn how you can get compensation. Start by watching a case review video by clicking the link below.
You've probably heard about no-fee-until-you-win arrangements. It's simple, and you'll get it here. Only if and when you recover money to compensate you for your harm will you pay RLG. Otherwise, you pay nothing at all.
If you call for a free initial claim evaluation, you have no obligation whatsoever to hire RLG to represent you. If you do want RLG to stand up for you, we'll send you an information package with a retainer agreement.
Every legal claim has a time limit. If you don't sue in time, you risk losing your claim forever. You don't want to delay. You want to be made whole again. So call RLG now to get the process started.
Unfortunately, when the clock starts—and how long it will run—isn't always clear before it's too late. That's why speaking to a lawyer as soon as possible is the smart thing to do.
Since the 1970s, doctors have been using "vaginal mesh" or "surgical mesh" to support or hold in women's pelvic organs. Performed to treat pelvic organ prolapse (POP)—a condition in which a woman's pelvic organs fall into or through her vaginal opening—and stress urinary incontinence (SUI)—a condition marked by the involuntary leakage of urine—these mesh operations originally involved the placement of the mesh product (sometimes called a "bladder sling") through incisions in the patient's abdomen. Read more
According to the Food and Drug Administration, in recent years, the most consistently reported complication to arise in connection with the use of surgical mesh to treat proplapse has been erosion: the mesh wears through the vaginal mucosa and exposes its rough and uncomfortable surface to the patient and her partner. Patients also report instances of mesh contraction (shrinkage). These complications are causing women to bleed, swell up, develop infections, and experience debilitating pain. Read more
Women who have suffered devastating side effects as a result of vaginal mesh products—including theProtegen Sling, which has been recalled, and ObTape, which has been discontinued—are contacting vaginal mesh lawyers willing to file vaginal mesh lawsuits on their behalf. Read more
So far, awards against mesh manufacturers total approximately $18.6 million… and this does not include undisclosed settlement amounts.
Class actions are appropriate when a large number of individuals join together to sue another person or company after sustaining the very same injury caused by the same party. Class action can save time and effort, but it isn't always the best way to proceed.
You might be entitled to substantial monetary compensation if you're experiencing harmful side effects as a result of having received a surgical mesh, vaginal mesh, or bladder sling implant. Read on to learn how to take advantage of our services—at no cost to you unless you win.
The Rottenstein Law Group will provide periodic updates on the ongoing vaginal mesh multidistrict litigation cases as information becomes available. Currently, there are six federal MDLs, as well as individual cases pending in state courts nationwide.
Most recently, Ethicon, a division of Johnson & Johnson, announced that it would stop selling four of its vaginal mesh products: the Prolift, Prolift+ M, TVT Secur and Prosima systems…
A recent court order issued in the New Jersey Ethicon vaginal mesh MCL has transferred Prolene abdominal mesh cases to a different state court location…. Read more
A consumer watchdog group has started a letter-writing campaign asking for state attorneys general to investigate Ethicon and its role in mesh injuries. … Read more
The number of federal vaginal mesh lawsuits has grown to almost 60,000. That number does not include lawsuits that have been filed in U.S. state courts. … Read more

Would you do something for me? The effects of money activation on social preferences and social behavior in young children
AbstractThe research presented in this paper shows that merely activating the idea of money affects the social behavior and social preferences of young children who do not understand the economic functions of money. From an economic point of view, money is universal, instrumental, and can be defined by the functions that it provides. From the psychological point of view, money is more symbolic and emotional than instrumental, and can serve as social resource in interpersonal and intrapersonal regulation. These effects of money are connected with its symbolic, rather than its instrumental, nature. To test whether the symbolic and instrumental meanings of money are developing at appropriate ages, we conducted two experiments on 5–8year olds. After money activation, children were more selfish in economic games, revealing less prosocial preferences and were less prone to help the experimenter than children from the control group. Even if children at this stage do not understand the economic mechanisms of money and are not able to use money properly in the instrumental context, they react to symbolic activation. This might imply that the symbolic meaning of money is more primal than the instrumental meaning.

The Every-Body Bikini – Simplicity #6353 1974
Multikini – Butterick #6674 1974
I stitched these two bikinis up by following a couple of vintage patterns. Both vintage photographic print remnants appear to be wool but look similar to t-shirting, were wider than they were long, and were stored with the patterns. I practiced using a twin needle, and also a ballpoint needle with zig zag top-stitch. I'm too shy to buy or wear a bikini believe it or not, and (obviously) that's why I thought I'd make one (er, two) instead. Not sure how long either of these skimpy two pieces (I may as well wear underwear lol!) would hold up to the sun, sea, chlorine, and sand, for – but they were at least terrific practice for sewing. I decided to (fairly heavily) line them both.
early '70s crosswise-stretch medium-weight directional photo-collage printed wool-based knit fabrics, tan wool knit lining, 90s black stretch lining, rattail satin cording in pink and blue, elastic, vintage plastic bikini clasp, 2 vintage shell buttons on halter top strap.
Apr 2, 2014, 10.47 AMby nadia r
Update: so I tested the other safari bikini today at the local beach, and the top held up okay – for a bikini – while the bottom bagged up a bit in the water lol. The fabric dried to a tolerable dampness on a hot day, which isn't bad considering this bikini has the security of both an outer wool or polyester knit layer and the modern black stretch lining. Overall I like this bikini as the cut flatters my figure the most comparatively speaking.
Mar 4, 2014, 02.52 PMby nadia r
Update: I tested the San Francisco bikini yesterday in a local beach. The verdict was: it is definitely one of my more skimpy bikni's, as I felt like I was wearing a bra and undies. I think despite choosing the correct sized pattern, it is still too loose and large, and as you can see I'm obviously 'hanging out'. I hid by a rocky outcrop haha. On the plus side, I was surprised that both the vintage woolen or polyester knit fabric and wool lining, after getting wet, only stayed damp – and not soaking – so I think close weave wool fabric like this may be more water resistant than cotton t-shirting, yay!
Jun 18, 2013, 05.32 PMby nadia r
thanks everyone! & thanx for the tip re. lycra. i didn't think of that ….yes i can imagine these bikini's will be cold, heavy, & very wet – for at least 3 days after swimming in nz, ha ha! (the bikini's on your blog are excellent!).

Clearly it is an integral part of our overall health. Mental Health is far more than the absence of mental illness and has to do with many aspects of our lives including: • How we feel about ourselves • How we feel about others • How we are able to meet the demands of life Maintaining Mental Health involves: Attention to lifestyle Social contact Reviewing our lives from time to time Awareness of how mind and body interact Having people in our lives we trust Awareness of what can go wrong Taking steps to resolve problems A mental disorder or mental illness is a psychological or behavioral pattern that occurs in an individual and is thought to cause distress or disability that is not expected as part of normal development or culture. Some people are unable to restrict their use of mind and body altering substances to culturally prescribed limits; this eventually leads to addiction.

A Beginner's Guide to Composting
Central Standard Time Zone
If it's to be, it's up to ME.
Organic Gardeners team leader
It would be okay to use in a flower bed but I probably wouldn't in a vegetable garden.
Thank you for your help. I will also be researching this and will post anything I find just in case others can use the info.
Have a great week!
I have tried looking for information on this but haven't found much yet. I will keep looking.
The main issues with matter that runs off asphalt roof shingles has to do with trace amounts of lead and arsenic that can be in rainwater that runs off roofs. Roof rainwater also may contain bird droppings, which can harbor some diseases. For that reason, it is best for those who use rain barrels to water plants at the base, not on the leaves.
The main solid material from roofs that end up in gutters is the gravel that gives the shingles their color and added protection from the sun. The gravel may have some adhesive that is used to glue them to the shingles, or asphalt. But I personally wouldn't consider that to be harmful. I have always put the leaves, etc that I clean out of the gutters in my compost. Whatever is there would be further diluted by all the other organic matter in the compost bin.
If the roof is in really poor shape, and you find bits of shingles in the gutters, then I would probably NOT recommend putting them in the bin. The bits of shingles could contain asbestos or fiberglass.
If anyone else has more information about this, hopefully they will chime in and share it.

Hello, I have a newbie question about composting. I was wondering if it is safe to use the decomposing plant matter from rooftop gutters in our compost bin. My husband was not sure if there would be harmful chemicals from the shingles on the roof or other roofing materials.
Thanks for any input or advice.
Edited by: MSERSKINE at: 10/13/2012 (21:11)
I'm not sure what rats will and won't eat. Leaves, grass, coffee grounds should all be safe. Vegetable scraps may attract them, as well as bread or maybe eggshells. Perhaps using an enclosed container to compost in, even if you don't turn it, may be enough to keep the rats out. Either a large metal or plastic garbage can with a lid that will keep the critters out. Rats can chew through plastic, but they have to have a reason to think there is something edible in there first worth getting at. Covering the scraps with a thin layer of soil or with coffee grounds may also disguise the scent.
I have to do more checking. Just have mice where I live, and I have found one in the compost bin, and have had shrews actually nest inside it (they are more carnivores, but do eat the earthworms. Didn't find any in this year, but of course, they had already eaten all my earthworms and I haven't replaced them yet). We have lots of chipmunks as well, but they have never seemed interested in the compost bin.

I have a question - for passive composting - so you have a list of things not to compost? I live in the city and I know that a rat or two lives on the block. I've been putting off composting, not wanting to provide a food source for the rats. I was thinking of getting a closed composted on a stand that you turn, but I'd also like to do passive composting in my garden.
Thanks for the info :))
If you plan on planting potatoes next spring, passive composting is a great way to get a head start. Dig a trench where you plan to plant potatoes next year - the deeper and wider, the better. Fill the trench with chopped up leaves, and other scraps if you have them (using a lawn mower and bagging works great, just empty the bag into the trench each time it fills up). The leaves will break down better over the winter if you chop them up first instead of putting them in whole. Be sure to pack the leaves down, so it is a few inches below the beginning soil level. Add an inch or two of soil on top of the leaves and leave the rest mounded next to the trench. In the early spring, gently push the seed potatoes in to the soil in the trench (it should have settled some over the winter), and cover with soil. As the vines get taller, use the extra soil to hill them up.
Because you are planting in loose compost as opposed to soil that compacts over time, it is easier for the potatoes to grow larger, as well as much easier to dig them up in the fall. Most if not all of them will be inside the compost trench.

I separate composting into 2 categories - active and passive. These can be further subdivided if you like.
Active composting involves turning the compost pile regularly - at least weekly - either with a fork, shovel, or by using a compost tumbler and turning it. The reason for this is that it incorporates air into the mix, and helps the compost pile to stay warmer. By keeping the compost pile at around 160 degrees, it helps the scraps break down faster and also will kill most weed seeds. Don't worry about it getting too hot for the earthworms, though. While it IS too hot for most worms, earthworms will do just fine in a hot compost pile.
Passive composting basically is where you just let the pile sit and leave it to the worms and other soil insects to break the compost down for you. This takes more time, but is less work. Again, you can put your scraps in a regular bin, in a large pile, or even dig a large hole near your garden plants, between rows, or behind and under bushes. Just add the scraps to the hole and cover with a bit of soil each time. Once the hole is filled, cover it with the rest of the soil and dig a new hole to fill with your new scraps. This is great if you don't have a place for a compost bin or pile. Since the soil is frozen in winter (at least where I live), to do this year round you need to pre-dig several holes in the fall to last until the soil warms up again.
Earthworms - these are great for composting. These are the "red wigglers" that are sold as bait. You can buy them in places that sell bait, or you can get them for free if there is a local stable nearby that will allow you to have some of their horse manure. That's what I did. There was a huge pile of well rotted manure, had some mushrooms growing on it, and we were getting loads of it to take to the garden plots we rent from the park district. I noticed that the older the pile, the more it was loaded with earthworms. So I just took a 5 gallon bucket, filled it with the manure/worms, and dumped the whole thing in my compost bin. I am a passive composter, so I just let the worms do all the work for me. I sift the compost when I clean out the bin. The finished compost falls through the holes, and the unfinished gets put back on the top of the bin. When I scoop the finished compost into buckets, I also pick out the worms and throw them back on the top of the pile and tell them to get back to work!

Way back when we were still green and ignorant, the peeps at Fightlinker had such high hopes for BodogFight. Fuck … the premise sounded so awesome to us:
Calvin Ayre is the guy behind Bodog, a multi-billion dollar illegal internet gambling empire. The guy can't set foot on US soil without SWAT getting deployed. In a scenario ripped directly from a bad Jean Claude Van Damme script, ol Cal is flying 16 fighters by helicopter to a fortified compound in the jungle to fight eachother in a reality TV show. The kicker – the winners of the reality show get to have their skulls smashed by Fedor Emelienkobob's training team, the Red Devils.
Of course, you know how all this turned out. Terrible production values, a leathery Bif Naked, and more skanks than you can shake a stick at. People stopped watching, BodogFight became something of a joke, and many dollars were lost.
Things have been sliding for a while now … a lot of the skilled management has left and Matt Lindland recently said he never knew who to call there or who was calling him regarding his Bodog contract.
Now it looks like the shit has really started to smell: BodogFight is officially off the air. Yup, that's right – Bodog couldn't even keep it's deal with an obscure network like ION. I seriously doubt they'll be able to secure a new deal … in ION's defense they never saw how bad BodogFight was going to be before they signed it. Now there's plenty of content for a TV exec to watch and vomit to.
This has been the month of the press conference / conference call. In addition to the UFC and Couture conferences, the IFL apparently had one earlier this week and EliteXC had one yesterday. Of course, neither of those fuck nuggets thought we here at Fightlinker were worth inviting, despite the fact that we had some seriously awesome questions to ask both parties:
- How much will you charge for blowjobs in 2009 when you are destitute and living on the street?
- Is hindsight really 20/20 or do you still think you're smart?
- Who's responsible for you guys sucking so bad and when does he get fired?
- Who's responsible for completely fucking up Kimbo Slice's debut with your organization?
- Since you've now got drug users, felony fighters, and kidnappers in your league, how long till you start adding rapists, murderers, and nazis? I understand your farm league has several of these?
- When is Gary's loser son $kala going to fight Robbie Lawler?
But hey, I'm not all about shit disturbing. For example, half the blogs on the internet are freaking out that Gary Shaw has ditched the standard Unified Rules weight classes in favor of his own system: 140, 150, 160, 170, 185, 205, 205+ and 265+. But when you wash the sand out of your vagina and actually think about it, this move isn't as bad as it really seems.
Hey, I've said it before: the last thing MMA needs is 20 different weight classes. But in this case, Gary hasn't actually added a bunch more. Basically all his system does is (theoretically) lessen the number of pounds a fighter has to cut by 5 pounds. Here's the unified weight classes next to the Shaw-daddy classes:
- 135 / 140
- 145 / 150
- 155 / 160
- 170 / 170
- 185 / 185
- 205 / 205
- 205+ / 205+
- 265+ / 265+
Of course, if the point is to keep his fighters from cutting too much it isn't going to work. Fighters will always cut like emo teenagers, and if you give them 5 pounds to play with, it just makes it more likely that they'll try to cut down another weight class. You can't trust these morons to be reasonable. They'll take every inch you give them and try to squeeze as much advantage out of it as possible.
So while this isn't exactly the best idea in the world, it's not like Shaw is adding stupid 'super middleweight' and 'ultra light' classes.
The moment CFFC's Kimbo vs Tank fight got canceled, everyone across the internets called out to promotions around the world to save the headlining fight. Several promotions answered the call and tried to fit it into their cards, but in the end it was EliteXC that signed Kimbo Slice and set him up to fight on their November 10th card.
Without Tank Abbott.
Huh? What? That's stupid. CFFC had already spent a big pile of money advertising the Tank matchup, and it was a fight that resonated with the moron demographic and freak fight fans. Why EliteXC decided to drop Tank from the equation is unknown.
Whatever the reason, it was fucking dumb. In his place, EliteXC put 8-11 fighter Mike Bourke, who's been 1-8 over the past 5 years. Tank's recent record was 1-6 over the past 5 years, but at least he had some decent draw and name power. Add the fact that EliteXC has been promoting Kimbo as 'Kevin Ferguson', and most casual fans have no idea what the fuck is going on any more.
But wait, it gets better! Now Mike Bourke is out, and in his place is Bo Cantrell, who just fought last week and lost in under a minute. Cantrell has a 10-10 and is on a four loss skid at the moment. He's also got some of the worst tattoos in MMA, which says a lot. Again, this guy is a total no-namer with a shitty record.
Anyways, I have no idea what the fuck is up with EliteXC dropping the Kimbo / Tank matchup. They've taken a stupid but compelling fight and replaced it with a stupid and non-compelling fight. And promoting Kimbo using his real name is the hight of stupidity. The world knows him as Kimbo Slice. If you're embarrassed of his felony fight history, then why the fuck did you sign him??? Man … someone at EliteXC needs to be slapped in the face with a large stinky fish.
For everyone that assumed Phil Baroni was guilty as sin and got off easy on his steroid case, take a listen to this video over at Sherdog. I have to admit, I was one of the people that basically assumed Baroni was guilty as sin. The dude goes from being washed up and out of shape to Adonis and back twice a year, it seems. Add to that his past affiliation with highly suspected fight team Hammer House (of Kevin "My organs shut down for some mysterious reason" Randleman fame), and I had him pegged as a user through and through.
However, the information presented by Phil's people at the hearing was interesting to say the least. Out of several samples taken, only one sample tested positive for steroids. Baroni's team wanted a DNA test to be done on the positive sample, because they were convinced that sample must not have been his. Of course, the CSAC being the morons they are, they never looked at any of the requests or information put together by Baroni's team prior to the hearing.
An initial vote to clear Baroni garnered two votes from the CSAC. The final vote for a 6 months / $2500 vote passed with 3 votes in favor, 2 against, and 1 voting for an extension.
Makes you wonder about the validity and accuracy of the testing procedure, huh? I'm also amazed at the shoddy coverage of the details in Baroni's case by the majority of other MMA websites. Why the fuck am I stuck having to report the bullshit details on this? My fucking anus is leaking. This sucks.
Hey guys. Gonna be a quiet morning as the vegetarian food I ate last night is forcing it's way out of my ass hardcore. I've tried doing some writing on the pot but I almost peed into my laptop's motherboard fan so that option is out. So for an hour or two you're on your own. I pray you all survive.
In the meantime, you should listen to this week's low blow, and submit questions in the comments section of this post for next week's mailbag! Special thanks to our sponsors for the show : Xieyeience and Super Extreme Energy Creamu.

In this funny valentine to love 1990's style, three wide-eyed college grads score a great apartment in Greenwich Village and set out to take New York by storm. Laughing in the face of cynicism, Marc dreams of that big Broadway break, songwriter Robert dreams of Marc while the deliciously delusional Cynthia stalks her dream employer with nothing to recommend her except for a blank resume and the ability to accessorize. But when sexy neighbor David enters the picture, the harsh realities of life, love and career test their incorrigible optimism in this gay romantic comedy classic. A festival favorite, "Broadway Damage" is the winner of the Outfest Audience Award.

Month: October 2008
UPDATE – She is, quite simply, the dumbest VP nominee EVERStandard
Palin doesn't understand First Amendment [Salon]
At this point, McCain should have called me to be his running mate. I would have been an improvement. I'm waiting for the right wing brain trust to defend this. 5, 3, 4, 2, 1…..
AND here's why I love the Internets. People from every corner can discuss the the brainiac's latest dosage of constitutional brilliance. Also, it's not piling on when she makes it so easy!
Palin's First Amendment [Mydd.com]
Clueless: Prof. Palin on the First Amendment [Spin Cycle]
An Amendment That Isn't In The Constitution [The American Prospect]

Media moment of the day – Alec Baldwin & David LettermanStandard
UPDATE #2- If these two losers win…Standard
Via about.com
I will know the real glue that holds America together — ignorance and fear.
I will have more fear of Americans who believe that ignorance and fear are virtues compared to sober pragmatic intelligence.
I will wonder if The Financial Times and The Economist feel comfortable having a bunch of economic boneheads in charge of the US economy.
I will pray that Andrew Sullivan, Keith Olbermann, Bill Maher and Chris Matthews don't spontaneously combust at the reality of living with a McPalin presidency.
I will wonder how long it will be before Palin kills McCain to assume the presidency.
I will not riot.
I will be fetal and may not leave my bed for a few days.
I will leave my bed for fried chicken and chocolate cheesecake.
I will watch American media make a worthless fuss over the birth of Bristol Palin's illegitimate crotchfruit and eventual wedding.
I will not pray for America. I'm done. If McPalin wins, I don't care anymore.
I will watch the fuckwits who whinge about their taxes finally figure out how the Iraq and Afghanistan wars are being funded. (That McPalin don't bother explaining to their zombies on the campaign trail just how much the zombie are funding the two wars with their hard earned money is akin to a person repeatedly having unprotected sex with a retarded person.)
I will wonder if the same fuckwits will realize that their wealth has been spread around to the wealthy. (Probably not, that requires being exposed to other media than Fox News, Rush Limbaugh and the National Review.)
I will watch in horror as Palin galumphs around the world in all her uncouth glory with her lunkhead husband.
I will bemoan the fact that Satan's butt boy James Dobson will feel empowered to practice more bigotry and sexism because a vote for Palin is a vote for gay discrimination and anti-choice.
Update - I will steal anti-depressants for my friends because some of them will need them.
I will read James Baldwin for sustenance. Especially The Fire Next Time.
I will watch The Colbert Report and The Daily Show religiously because well they will be my Prozac, Lithium and Ambien.
I will weep because a McPalin win means Patrick and Bay Buchanan will NEVER GO AWAY.

Why doesn't The Economist mention any of Sarah Palin's socialist tendencies when discussing the Republican ticket accusing Barack Obama of being a socialist? [The Economist]

Our Man in the White House [The Root]
Favorite part:
He looked around to make sure no one could overhear his whisper.
"Bush is really down with the brothers, and he understands white people's attitudes. He figured that the only way one of us could win would be to mess things up so much that white folks would decide they had nothing to lose if they put a black man in the White House!"
"You're saying Bush deliberately screwed up the country to give a black candidate a better chance to become president," I replied incredulously.
"That's right," Buckwheat replied. "And Bush, God bless his soul, delivered more than we ever expected."
As his excitement mounted, he relapsed into Ebonics and began to shout.
"He de wurst Prez-ah-dent 'n his'try. He done such a bad job, 'most any Demercrat cud beat 'most any 'publican in dis here 'lection. Even ah black one! Dat white man throwed hissse'f on de bonfire of his'try to give ah black man uh bedder chance to make his'try! We owes him our eternal thanks for his selfless sacrifice!"
Quote of the dayStandard
H/T: Ta-Nehisi Coates
This idiot woman, this blind, shortsighted ignoramus, this pretentious clod, mocks basic research and the international research community. You damn well better believe that there is research going on in animal models — what does she expect, that scientists should mutagenize human mothers and chop up baby brains for this work? — and countries like France and Germany and England and Canada and China and India and others are all respected participants in these efforts.
Yes, scientists work on fruit flies. Some of the most powerful tools in genetics and molecular biology are available in fruit flies, and these are animals that are particularly amenable to experimentation. Molecular genetics has revealed that humans share key molecules, the basic developmental toolkit, with all other animals, thanks to our shared evolutionary heritage (something else the wackaloon from Wasilla denies), and that we can use these other organisms to probe the fundamental mechanisms that underlie core processes in the formation of the nervous system — precisely the phenomena Palin claims are so important.
-Biologist PZ Myers in reaction to Sarah Palin mocking funding fruit fly research in her scintallating first ever policy speech.
If a majority of the American public is going to let someone this dumb be at the center of power for the next four years, I give up. I give up. No matter what she wears or how well she stokes ugliness on the campaign trail, nothing NOTHING makes up for how completely clueless this woman is and remains to be.
At this point, McCain should replace her with Trig Palin. It would be an improvement.

This morning I conducted a webinar for Harvard Business Review on Coaching Your Employees, and while a full recording of the presentation will be posted within a few days at HBR's Events page, here's a copy of my slides.
I'm told we had over 4,000 people registered, and I'm really grateful for the opportunity to talk to such a large audience on a topic that I believe is so important for today's leaders and managers (and which has had a profound impact on my own professional life.)
Many thanks to Angelia Herrin for inviting me to participate, to Lisa McMullen for her tremendous help and support, and to all their colleagues at HBR and Citrix/GoToWebinar who made it happen!
