Projects Gone Wrong

What goes wrong when things go wrong? What follows may not be suitable for younger audiences: post-mortems of several IT projects that turned ugly.
Chapter One: Don't Guess for Success
The lack of clear requirements at the outset of a new IT project or consulting partnership is the number one killer of initiatives within large organizations. Project charter processes are critical, whether the project is to be handled in-house or by contractors.
IBM's Team for Texas Consolidation
When data center consolidation is done right, it can save a bundle and bump up performance in the process. When outsourcing is done right, it can do the same. When both are done wrong at the same time, you have an unmitigated disaster the size of the Lone Star State.
At the end of 2008, the State of Texas reported a colossal failure in a years-long project to consolidate 27 data centers across the state. When Texas shook hands with IBM in 2007, the state agreed to pay Big Blue to lead up the "Team for Texas." The team promised to reduce the number of servers across the state from 5,300 to 1,300 within three years and save the state $25 million by year two of the contract. The idea was to rapidly move from a highly distributed environment where individual agencies ran their own data centers to a more consolidated approach.
When the state shopped for a contractor to consolidate data centers, it chose IBM over shortlisted Northrup-Grumman, the incumbent data center operator at the time. Northrup-Grumman's estimate came in $358 million over IBM's because the company believed a slower approach to consolidation was necessary due to geographic restraints and an eclectic collection of systems and applications across agencies.
By November 2008 it was clear that Texas was regretting its decision. IBM sent Texas a letter on Nov. 3 that stated it would need to rework its infrastructure funding to replace legacy systems that were hampering consolidation efforts. The project had only saved the state $500,000 so far and agencies were giving IBM failing grades across the board for service and support. Governor Rick Perry told IBM that it was in danger of losing the contract if it didn't fix dangerous disaster recovery backup oversights and breaches in contract that were caught by state officials after a system failure.
The state of the contract is still in flux. Observers believe there will be a finger-pointing match between the state, which had out-of-reach expectations for the project timeline, and IBM, which oversold its ability to accomplish unrealistic goals.
Lessons Learned: Sometimes the cheapest proposal is not necessarily the best proposal. Project managers must double and triple check cost estimates to ensure they're based on realistic assumptions.
U.S. 2010 Census Handheld Rollout
The scourge of scope creep is a classic project management stumbling block that can waste money and even destroy promising initiatives.
The case of the U.S. 2020 Census modernization project offers a classic example. When the U.S. Census unveiled the project, the idea was to arm its census takers in the field with high-tech handheld devices that could directly beam population information to HQ as employees dug it up.
Census officials inked a $600 million deal with Harris Corporation to build 500,000 devices, but they still weren't sure which features they wanted included in the units. What they did know was that this go-around at the census would cost at least $10 billion in total. Though there were no detailed projections, they assured the public that the handhelds were sure to save the department money.
Two years later, the handheld project was in shambles. In April, the bureau chief sent a press release announcing that it was significantly reducing the role of the handhelds in the 2010 Census efforts. After laying out hundreds of millions in taxpayer dollars, the census takers were for the most part going back to the old-fashioned paper method.
According to a report by the Government Accountability Office in July 2008, the units that were tested out in the field in 2007 were regularly experiencing problems with "transmission, the device freezing, mapspotting (collecting mapping coordinates), and difficulties working with large blocks."
Even more troubling, Harris reported that since it signed on with the Census Bureau, it received over 400 change requests to project requirements. Part of the reason the bureau scrapped the project was the subsequent cost overruns that were going to be necessary to get the full project off the ground given the midstream requirements changes.
What's worse, even as census enumerators were relegated back to the paper age, the total cost of census estimates rose by the billions. The current estimate is somewhere around $14.5 billion.
Lessons Learned: A clear set of requirements and a well-governed change-management process are the critical ingredients to project success.
Nothing's worse for a company than an IT fiasco that directly hits the way customers interact with the organization. In some extreme cases, IT may as well hand disgruntled customers over to the competition on a silver platter. Don't believe us? Read on.
HSBC Disaster
When an IT failure wastes a financial institution's money, that's a headache. When it erodes the organization's reputation, it's a life-threatening head injury.
HSBC USA learned this lesson the hard way in August 2008, when systems malfunctions kept thousands of customers from accessing their accounts for the better part of a week. The culprit of the downtime was a disk failure within the legacy mainframe system in HSBC's Amherst-based data center, which handled the bank's account and transaction information. According to the company, the failure occurred during a storage system upgrade.
Most experts agreed that something as simple as a disk failure should not jeopardize a financial institution's uptime for five days -- disaster recovery governance should cover something as mundane as hardware on the fritz. While HSBC did not disclose the intimate details of its difficulties, one unnamed, whistle-blowing insider told Bank Technology News that HSBC was running a decades-old legacy core processing system that likely suffered from complications following the disk failure.
"It's not surprising, given the age of that software and that internal code would be holding everything together," the source told BTN.
Some experts speculated that the crash of the core processing system combined with a sluggish batch recovery process could have held up IT staff in returning the system to service.
The end result was spotty service for many customers, some of whom were unable to view their account balances, bank online or even use their debit cards in some cases. Regardless of technical details, the failure shows how a simple upgrade can result in a loss of service and customer confidence if IT doesn't have its ducks in a row before rolling up its sleeves.
Lessons Learned: Financial systems failures say bad things to customers seeking stability.
London Stock Exchange Sells Customers Short
On September 9, 2008, thousands of UK-based traders were champing at the bit to start the trading day after news broke that the U.S. government was planning to bail out mortgage-lenders Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Most brokers expected their trades across the London Stock Exchange that Monday to net them their most lucrative commissions of the year. Then an LSE technical glitch got in the way.
Traders were locked out of the LSE trading platform for nearly the whole day -- more than seven hours in total -- due to what LSE called "connectivity problems." The financial papers quoted traders expressing their frustration over losing millions and millions in pounds from unearned commissions that day, a wound made more painful by LSE's lack of communication about the specific problems that caused the shutdown. Just days before the problem it had just finished extolling the virtues of a shiny, new update to its trading platform, TradElect.
LSE was oblique about the exact technical issue, stating only that the issue was not due to an inability to handle trading volume or any problem associated with the upgrade.
If true, it goes to show that no matter how much work is spent on the bells and whistles of a new project, if the fundamental infrastructure isn't right then all the project work is for naught.
Lessons Learned: Poor communication exacerbates customer-facing IT issues.
It is imperative that an organization pay its employees on time and as promised. In today's environment, IT is a critical partner in making that happen. When IT fails to do so, the whole organization suffers.
Sprint-Nextel Get Static Over Unpaid Commissions
Last December, news trickled in from the District Court of Kansas that a cadre of former and current Sprint-Nextel employees had filed a class action lawsuit against the telecom giant to fight for more than $5 million in sales commissions they say were never paid to them. Though Sprint has so far chosen to fight the suit, it has admitted that it has consistently had problems figuring out how to pay its employees accurately the first time around. The culprit? Creaky back-end systems that were never appropriately integrated when Sprint and Nextel merged in 2005.
Details about the systems themselves are scanty, but what the court documents did disclose was illuminating. According to Sprint, it has spent close to $10 million to fix problems within the computer system governing sales tracking and commission payouts. The company says that it provided underpaid employees a process for fixing pay discrepancies. Therein lies the rub.
The plaintiffs in this case charge that this paperwork-laden process was needlessly complex; it was too difficult and took too long to navigate, they say. This case is a good example of how executive response to end users after an IT snafu can greatly affect the ultimate response to technical problems. Had Sprint made a more comprehensive effort to make its employees whole, minus a lot of red tape, it likely could have avoided the lawsuit.
Lessons Learned: Throwing money at a problem doesn't always work. Communication and an earnest effort to make users whole after IT failure.
LAUSD Payroll Problems
When the Los Angeles Unified School District announced it was ready to flip the switch on an ambitious, $95 million plan to migrate its payroll systems to SAP, the teachers' union response was, "Are you sure it's ready?"
Union leaders asked that the district test the new payroll system while concurrently running the old one in order to ensure a smooth transition. The district, and its consultant Deloitte Consulting, chose to ignore the request. LAUSD and Deloitte said that such testing would be too costly.
Even after a spate of red-flags popped up during the preceding months -- so many that the district CIO resigned in disgust six-months before showtime -- the district pulled the trigger and brought the system live in late January 2007. What followed was a year-long chain reaction of failure that caused teachers to picket, kept payroll clerks from going home on many long nights, and eventually cost the school district an additional $35 million to clean up the mess. Over the course of 2007, some employees were overpaid, others underpaid and some were not paid at all for months on end.
So many things went wrong that it's hard to pinpoint a single cause for the pain. Among the contributing factors: a failure to scrub data before migration, bugs in the custom code developed by Deloitte to tailor the system to LAUSD needs, and inadequate system training for payroll clerks. All of this was exacerbated by the convoluted and complex contract arrangements with individual teachers and creaky hardware infrastructure tasked with running the payroll platform.
Some believe that what really torpedoed the project, though, was an extreme lack of leadership. The executive the school district brought on to sponsor the implementation program didn't just lack ERP experience, he had very little knowledge or expertise about any IT systems. Furthermore, when CIO Megan Klee resigned in 2006, the district piled her duties on top of the CFO. Clearly, no one was manning the tiller.
Lessons Learned: Difficult projects require experienced and intuitive leaders to reign in costs and address problems before it's too late to fix them. Careful testing is a must before going live with any new system.
Perhaps no other wide-scale enterprise project can strike fear into the heart of a CIO or project manager like an enterprise resource planning (ERP) implementation. And for good reason. ERP touches the nerve center of organizations. If something goes wrong, it goes terribly wrong.
American La France Hosed by ERP
Sometimes a nightmare project can put a company in bankruptcy.
Last year, the venerable firetruck manufacturer American LaFrance was forced to undergo Chapter 11 proceedings after what it called "operational disruptions caused by the installation of a new ERP system." According to information provided to customers, the company incurred $100 million in debt since it spun off from Freightliner in 2005 due to inventory imbalances and ERP malfunction.
"These problems have resulted in slowed production, a large unfulfilled backlog, and a lack of sufficient funds to continue operating," the company told customers in January 2008.
When American La France initially bought back its business from Freightliner, the plan was to get its former host company to handle accounting, purchasing, inventory, production, payroll and finance until American La France could work with its consultants at IBM to implement a new ERP system that would handle all of these functions.
But after flipping the switch to set the ERP system running in June 2007, American La France encountered inventory difficulties, resulting in serious liquidity issues for the manufacturer. Though American La France said at the time that it was looking into holding IBM legally accountable for its role in the botched ERP implementation, more than a year later no such action has been taken. Since then the company has come out of Chapter 11, worse for the wear after customers complained of late truck deliveries and a shortage of repair parts that made certain firehouses scramble for months to keep their fleets running.
Lessons Learned: Botched ERP implementations can drastically affect operational capabilities. Spin-offs, company sales and M&A activity must be followed by careful infrastructure planning.
Tom Shane Paid Too Much
As our previous example showed, picking one's way through an enterprise resource planning project can be akin to dancing across a minefield. With so much money and so many critical functions at stake, ERP projects have the potential to make or break a company.
Unfortunately for Centennial, Colo.-based Shane Co. Jewelers, its foray into SAP broke the company. In January 2009 the family-owned company announced bankruptcy as a result of poor sales returns from 2007 through 2008 and an SAP implementation that executives said cost the company three times its initial estimate and left store inventories unbalanced.
According to bankruptcy filings, Shane Co. reported that it took three years and $36 million to put in place the SAP AG system after being told by SAP that it would only take one year and $10 million. What's worse, once the system went live in 2007, Shane experienced nine months of inventory issues that 'adversely affected sales,' the company told the court.
Most egregious of these issues was a severe overstock of the wrong products in late 2007. Shane told the court that since then it managed to sell off the overstocked products and stabilize the SAP system, but that the financial damage was already done. In 2008 the company experienced a 32 percent decline in sales during the holiday season.
Bankruptcy filings show the company owes more than $100 million to creditors. Shane told the court that it was revamping operations, scrapping plans for new headquarters and putting the kibosh on store expansions. During the bankruptcy, company founder Tom Shane is lending the company money from a separate business he owns to keep Shane Co. operational.
Lessons Learned: Appropriate vendor selection and realistic project goals are imperatives for successful ERP implementations.
Worst case scenarios happen. Anticipate and communicate, or they could happen to you.
Heartland Heartburn
Heartland Payment Systems started off 2009 with a bang, but not the kind it wanted.
The credit card processor suffered from a colossal security breach that reportedly exceeds 100 million records and affects accounts at hundreds of banks. An unknown party hid sniffer software in unallocated disk space on a server located within a section of infrastructure unprotected by encryption. Heartland's CFO reported that the malware was so well camouflaged that forensics experts had a hard time finding it even after the Visa and MasterCard flagged the company with fraud alerts .
Details from the investigation will likely take years to unravel, but security experts speculate that it could have been installed from web-borne malware or perhaps even propagated by an insider armed with an infected USB device. Interestingly, the company had previously been certified as PCI compliant.
Heartland is suffering the consequences. Since it made the mandated breach announcement in January, its stock price has plummeted, and affected banks and consumers have filed dozens of class-action lawsuits. Competing card processors are aggressively courting Heartland customers. VISA and MasterCard revoked the company's PCI compliance certification and are threatening to slap it with hundreds of thousands of dollars in fines. And CEO Robert Carr is now under fire for selling a large chunk of his shares in the company just before the breach announcement was made public.
Lessons Learned: Compliance efforts may not always result in a secure risk posture. Security missteps can cost companies dearly.
Beijing Olympics Ticket Turmoil
If the Beijing Organizing Committee for the Olympic Games (BOCOG) IT team competed on the field, it wouldn't even make it past the first heat in e-sales systems development.
During the run up to the Olympics, the Chinese ticketing system crashed not once but twice during two separate waves of domestic sales. The first time, in October 2007, Chinese authorities had released 1.8 million tickets to be sold online and at branches of the Bank of China (BOC). Within an hour the online ticketing system was unable to handle the heavy load of more than 8 million hits.
Designed to handle about 1 million hits per hour, the system crashed after selling a measly 43,000 tickets. Officials had to resort to offering the remainder by lottery while they worked with Ticketmaster to revamp their online sales portal. In the interim, BOCOG fired its director of ticketing.
Then in May 2008 the systems crashed again, this time in a bid to sell 1.38 million tickets. This go round the system was able to shop 300,000 tickets before going down.
The Beijing spin machine worked full force following the humiliation of both events, pointing to overwhelming demand for tickets as a signal of success. But ultimately the IT team failed to accurately project realistic traffic numbers and architect systems accordingly. The lack of planning cost one man his job and served up a splatter of egg on the face of countless others.
Lessons Learned: IT will fail again and again if it isn't provided with accurate projections and numerical assumptions from the business side.
The ultimate cost of some bungled projects is human life.
Kaiser Kidney Transplant Center Debacle
Only two years after opening, the Kaiser Permanente Kidney Transplant Center in San Francisco was forced to shut down in the wake claims that it risked patient's lives through delays brought on by bureaucratic bungling.
According to whistle-blowers, patients, and regulators, Kaiser's lack of planning in data-management governance, procedures and policies for the setup of its Kidney Transplant Center delayed the entrance of countless patients into the operating room to receive vital surgeries. Kaiser is said to have never set up procedures to transfer patient data from prior transplant facilities. or to have compiled a database of records for patients transferred into the center's program. Administrative staff did not have a clear set of written directions to do their jobs and had little experience in the transplant specialty.
In one example, patient Bernard Burks was told by his insurer, Kaiser, that he had to transfer from a kidney transplant center in Sacramento to Kaiser's new facility in San Francisco in order to continue to receive coverage. In the process Kaiser lost his records and he was somehow bumped to the back of the line for a kidney, even though he had already accumulated three years' credit at his former facility. When his daughter stepped forward to donate, that information was mismanaged, too.
Burks' experience wasn't isolated. In February 2006 an internal whistle-blower, David Merlin, blew the roof off the story when he went to the Los Angeles Times and other media outlets with concerns. By May 2006 regulators at the state Department of Managed Health Care (DMHC), Medicare, and Medicaid released scathing reports on the matter, and Kaiser decided to shut the whole transplant operation down. Kaiser was later fined $2 million by DMHC, and it voluntarily paid another $3 million to a transplant education group to atone for its missteps.
Lessons Learned: Regardless of the technology used, governance and compliance must be in place in order to properly manage information in the enterprise.
Mustang Recall
Trains, planes, and automobiles rely on software to improve engine performance, control electrical systems and keep navigation systems running. But when developers and QA testers miss something in the code and bugs crop up, resultant glitches can risk lives and damage reputations.
Last February, just that kind of problem cropped up at Ford. The car manufacturer was forced to recall nearly half a million 2005-2008 model Mustangs after discovering that a software problem in these cars caused airbags to be deployed forcefully enough to cause neck injury to smaller passengers not wearing seatbelts. Mustang owners had to return their vehicles to the dealer in order to receive a software update to the Restraint Control Module within the car computer.
While no injuries related to the error ever occurred, Ford paid to notify customers and conduct the recall. Developers and testers of all stripes should sit up and take notice of this classic software failure scenario, born out of inadequate testing before the product went to market. Ford only found the discrepancy during safety crash testing mandated by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
Lessons Learned: Testing may be expensive, but it's a lot cheaper to get the code done right the first time.

The EU's perspective on the crises in the Middle East and Africa
The crises in Africa and the Middle East were the focus of the Foreign Affairs Council meeting in Brussels. The President of the National Coalition for Syrian Revolutionary and Opposition Forces, Sheikh Moaz Al Khatib, took part in the meeting at the invitation of High Representative for the Common Foreign and Security Policy Catherine Ashton.
Training mission for Mali

At the beginning of the official afternoon session, the EU Foreign Ministers adopted the crisis Management Concept prepared by EU High Representative Ashton for an EU training mission in Mali (EUTM). The Council underlined the need to proceed swiftly with the planning process.
Following a coup over six months ago, the West African country is now in severe crisis. Islamist groups have taken control of large areas in the north. Both its neighbours and Western countries fear this region could become a safe haven for terrorists.
On 11 November, ECOWAS decided to establish a force of 3300 troops to help resolve the conflict. On the basis of a report by UN Secretary-General Ban Ki moon, the United Nations Security Council is currently discussing a response to the request by Mali, ECOWAS and the African Union to approve and support an international military mission.

The EU is actively committed to Somalia's stabilization. In April 2010, the EU Training Mission in Somalia was established with the aim of providing the forces of the UN-recognized Somali government with training, especially in mine awareness and fighting in built up areas as well as communications and medical training. The EUTM Somalia has now been extended until the end of 2014. Training currently takes place in military facilities in Uganda and is carried out in close coordination with the leadership of the African Union Mission in Somalia (AMISOM) and the United States. There are medium-term plans to move the training programme to Somalia's capital, Mogadishu. Of the mission's approximately 130 staff, up to 20 are members of the Bundeswehr provided by Germany.
Concern over the recent escalation in the eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo

International concern for security and stability in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) has been growing since M23, a rebel group, advanced into the east of the country in mid November. Tens of thousands are estimated to have fled their homes as a result of the latest violence. The United Nations puts the number of displaced people in the country at over 2.4 million. The EU Foreign Ministers emphasized that it was vital that all those in the region as well as the international community contribute to a lasting solution to the crisis and that the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the DRC must be respected.

Increased support for Syria's National Coalition

The situation in Syria was also on the Council's agenda. Foreign Minister Guido Westerwelle welcomed the fact that the High Representative for the Common Foreign and Security Policy, Catherine Ashton, had, at the initiative of several EU Foreign Ministers including Westerwelle, invited the President of the National Coalition for Syrian Revolutionary and Opposition Forces, Sheikh Moaz Al Khatib, to attend the Foreign Affairs Council meeting.
"This is a clear sign of increased support for the Syrian Coalition," he said. "It is a coalition," he went on, "that represents the legitimate interests of the Syrian people, and we want to see this recognized by the EU." At the last Council meeting on 19 November, the Ministers had said, with reference to the National Coalition, that they were "legitimate representatives of the aspirations of the Syrian people".
Westerwelle said that the meeting in Brussels also served to prepare the meeting of the Group of Friends of the Syrian People in Marrakech on 12 December. He said he thought that the meeting in Marrakech would send the "same signal" of increased support for the Syrian opposition.

Resuming Israeli-Palestinian peace talks
The EU Foreign Ministers underlined their commitment to a negotiated two-state solution, two states existing side by side within recognized borders in security. The Ministers called on the Israeli and Palestinian sides to resume direct talks without preconditions quickly. Israel's settlement plans in East Jerusalem and the West Bank, especially in the so called E1 area, were emphatically criticized as an obstacle to achieving peace.

Concern over the situation in Egypt
The dispute about the constitutional process threatens to divide Egypt

Before the Council meeting began, Foreign Minister Westerwelle said that the situation in Egypt was "very fragile". "I am very concerned about the situation," commented Westerwelle, "because we want the Egyptian revolution to be a success." "Substantial dialogue" and "substantial flexibility" were necessary on both sides, he stated, adding that it was clear that the rule of law and the separation of powers were part of every democracy. "We want to see democratic development in Egypt," Westerwelle explained.
Other topics included Ukraine's moving closer to the EU as well as preparations for the 30th EU-Russia summit in Brussels on 21 December.

He left a trail of bodies across the nation. His apparent suicide on a Florida houseboat ended one of the most publicized manhunts in years.
Andrew Cunanan became famous overnight when he was named as the suspect in the Gianni Versace murder. But he was already well known to the FBI, who had added him to the "Most Wanted" list just three days earlier for his role in four other killings.
BIOGRAPHY® retraces Cunanan's terrifying spree, and explores his past, looking for clues to the killer he became. Investigators recall the trail he left behind, and reveal what helped to break the case, while crime scene and news footage capture the horrors of his crimes. Former friends and associates offer a personal view of the killer, and tell of his rage at discovering he was infected with HIV, vowing revenge.
It's a chilling portrait of a single-minded killer who made his mark in blood on the consciousness of the nation.

The State Board of Education adopted Ohio's New Learning Standards in English Language Arts as a guide to teaching and learning in the classroom. The Kindergarten – Grade 12 standards will be fully in use in Ohio classrooms in the 2014-2015 school year.
The PARCC Model Content Framework is to serve as a bridge between Ohio's New Learning Standards in English Language Art and the PARCC assessments. The framework is designed to support implementation of the standards and to inform the development of item specifications and blueprints for the PARCC assessments in grades 3–8 and high school.
Ohio teachers worked in teams in 2010 to suggest instructional strategies and resources that align with the Ohio's New Learning Standards in English Language Arts. The State Board of Education adopted the results of their work, English Language Arts Model Curricula, in March 2011.
In October 2013, Career Connections strategies were added to the Instructional Strategies in the model curricula.

The ACCURA® V2 is our new and improved "Version 2" of the popular ACCURA model. Like its predecessor, the ACCURA V2 provides a level of accuracy performance that is unequaled by any break-action muzzleloader on the market today – due to its premium, custom quality Bergara Barrel . These Bergara Barrels, all made of the highest quality 416 grade stainless steel, have quickly become recognized as the most accurate production muzzleloader barrels in the world. And at an optimal 27" in length, they provide just the right combination of balance, maneuverability and efficient powder-burning capability. But the new ACCURA V2 has even more features to help you enjoy your hunt. It includes CVA's patent pending QRBP "Quick-Release Breech Plug" – the only such breech plug on the market that can be easily removed with your fingers and no tool after the gun has been fired numerous times. Plus, the ACCURA V2's stock and forestock have been upgraded with a SoftTouch coating and rubber grip panels – making it comfortable and secure even in the foulest weather. The Most Accurate Muzzleloader You've Ever Shot. Or Your Money Back.
The ACCURA is very simple to operate because the breeching lever is built right into the trigger guard, making the ACCURA one of the easiest opening break-actions on the market, and the entire gun can be disassembled by removing just one screw. The ergonomically designed stock is fully ambidextrous and is available in both standard and thumbhole designs. Plus, every ACCURA is equipped with all-metal DuraSight® fiber optic sights and a Quake® CLAW® Contour Sling.

The West side Chair backs seats are the best in the new renovated Big House; You are still a part of the crowd unlike the club seats, yet you have comfortable seats & leg room. Also you have your private concessions with very short lines and no lines for the restrooms. U of M did an outstanding job. Once you sit in these seats you'll never want to go back to the uncomfortable, crowded bench seating.

The bag I reviewed, TraveLite Tote is 8 oz of 100% recycled material. It might have been a tent in another life. Or, it might have been someone's backpack that went trekking through Nepal. The tote is part of the TraveLite™ Collection, which is made with Tier 1 recycled nylon – making it the first-ever eco-friendly carry gear of its kind.
My thoughts: At first glance I wasn't crazy about the color, I'm not a huge green fan (but there are others online) but I've grown to really like it. It's very fall. I really can't say enough great things about this bag. There are TONS of pockets, both on the inside and outside.
If you're not in the market for a travel tote, GoLite has several other products. Here are a couple I'm eyeing!
How can I not like these pants, their "cali" pants: http://www.golite.com/Product/ProdDetail.aspx?p=AW3499&mc=139&t=bottom&lat=bottom

Parallax is a brand and communications design firm based in Adelaide, South Australia. Matthew Remphrey is the Creative & managing director. I love the business cards by Parallax because they have incorporated elements that the reader can interact with through using cut outs and folds. Space, colour & simple graphic elements have also been used to draw attention to the information. This is summed up by Parallax as "Solutions that engage and inspire the consumer. Solutions that cannot be ignored."

7/11 in Yankee History
2010: Bob Sheppard, former public address announcer at Yankee Stadium, dies at the age of 99.
Bob Sheppard became the announcer for the New York Yankees in 1951,
and over the decades became as much a part of the Yankee Stadium
experience as the Number 4 train rattling past the right field
bleachers. Mr. Sheppard never missed an Opening Day until 2006, when
illness kept him out of the announcer's box. In late March 2009, with
their home opener in the new Yankee Stadium approaching, the team
announced that Mr. Sheppard had bronchitis and that substitutes would
handle two exhibition games scheduled for April 4 and 5.
In March 2008, George Vecsey described Mr. Sheppard and his impact on
the game:
Robert Leo Sheppard has been a highlight of any trip to the big
ballyard in the Bronx since opening day, April 17, 1951, when he
announced the name of Joe DiMaggio right after the youngster playing
right field, Mickey Mantle. Roger or Reggie or Bernie might not hit a
home run on any given day, but Sheppard would deliver the starting
lineups, in a voice that would make everybody else in the joint sound
like we were Archie or Edith Bunker speaking some other language.
It is a voice that makes rowdies stop in their tracks. He made an
impromptu appeal to common sense to quiet a restive Yankee crowd back in
the '70s, and on Wednesday he recalled another spontaneous announcement
at a Giants football game in Yankee Stadium in the late '50s when
inebriated fans wandered onto the field with four or five minutes left
in the game.
"Jack Mara ran up to me and said, 'Make them stop,'" Sheppard
recalled, referring to the former president of the Giants. So Sheppard
told the mob: "If you do not stop, the Giants will forfeit the game. Is
that clear? The Giants will forfeit the game." It must have been clear,
because the fans wobbled back into the stands, and the Giants won the
"After the game, one of the reporters asked, 'Is that a rule?'"
Sheppard recalled yesterday. "I said, 'It's Sheppard's Rule.'" And
nobody argues those rules.
The players want to make the majors just to hear Sheppard announce
their names. Reggie Jackson still hasn't gotten over hearing Sheppard,
on a busman's holiday, do a guest inning in Anaheim, Calif., back in the
late '70s. Reggie, in the on-deck circle, nearly flipped, hearing that
voice 3,000 miles from home.
R.I.P. Bob.
2000: The American League wins its 4th consecutive All-Star Game' beating the
National League' 6-3. Derek Jeter and Chipper Jones each go 3-for-3 in the contest. Jeter takes MVP
honors' while Chicago's James Baldwin gets the victory.
1959: Frank Gilhooley, who played in the Yankee outfield from 1913 through 1918, dies at age 67.
1958: At the Stadium, Mickey Mantle and Larry Doby both propel shots in the 500-foot range into the upper deck in right'
as New York top Cleveland 11-3.
1957: At Kansas City' Mickey Mantle scores the tying run in the 9th' then wins it in
the 11th with an opposite field homer off righty Tom Morgan. Mantle now has 23 homers' and is hitting '370 for the
first-place Yanks. Chicago trail by 3 1/2 games. The Yankees
will lose tomorrow' 4-2' with Mantle hitting another homer.
1946: The Yankees sell Oscar Grimes to the A's. Grimes was New York's regular third baseman in 1944-45' but
lost his job when the vets returned.
1945: Yankee catcher Aaron Robinson returns from the military. Ruffing is back as well, along with Charlie Keller. More than two dozen former ML players will be
in uniform before the season is over.
1939: With another Yankee-dominated lineup' the AL defeats the NL 3-1 in the
7th All-Star Game' at the Stadium. Joe DiMaggio excites the partisan crowd with a 5th-inning homer.
Cincinnati outfielder Ival Goodman fractures his shoulder diving for a ball.
1927: The Yankees beat Detroit 8-5' as Lou Gehrig belts his 29th homer of the year' tying him with Babe Ruth for the
league. Waite Hoyt picks up the win over Lil Stoner.
1922: In the first of 4 games at the Stadium' the Yankees edge the first-place Browns'
2-1' as the Browns hand New York two 'home runs.' Aaron Ward hits a liner that bounces off the glove of a leaping Ken
Williams and goes into the left field stands for a homer. In the 6th, Jim Tobin
makes 2 errors on one play as he drops a Babe Ruth fly ball near the right field foul line, allowing Ruth to take second.
The Babe continues to third, and a surprised Tobin then bounces his throw into
the stands behind third allowing Ruth to score the tie breaker. Urban Shocker is the loser as the Browns lead is cut to a half game.
1921: At Chicago' Dickie Kerr gives up a pair of 2-run homers to Bob Meusel and
Babe Ruth in losing to the Yankees' Rip Collins' 4-0. For Ruth it is his 32nd
homer of the season, and he has now homered in every AL park this year.
Later at Comiskey Park' robbers blow off the door of the safe and make
off with $3'000' mostly receipts from the game. Tomorrow' the New York
Times says' 'Owner Charles Comiskey <below> denied reports that the safe
contained papers pertaining to the former White Sox players now on
1904: The Highlanders salvage the last game of a 4-game series with the Boston Americans with a 10-1 drubbging of the visitors' but the Beantowners leave New York with a 2 1/2 game lead in the AL. Patsy Dougherty (below) has 4 of New York's 17 hits.

10/29 in Yankee History
2009: A.J. Burnett makes his name and earns his Yankee credibility with
a dominant performance in Game 2 of the World Series, registering a 3-1 win over veteran righty Pedro Martinez. Following a Philadelphia score in the second inning, Mark Teixeira evens things up with a fourth-inning home run. Hideki Matsui then clears the right-field fence with the game winner in the sixth. Jorge Posada delivers an insurance with a pinch-hit RBI single in the seventh.
1975: Karim Garcia is born, ¡Feliz cumpleaños, KG!
1962: The Yankees sell Bob Turley (82-52 over 8 years in New York ) to the LA Angels.
1920: The Yankees sign Red Sox manager Ed Barrow as GM, completing the front office team that will build the game's most
successful franchise, which will win 14 American League pennants and 10 World Titles in the 25 years that Barrow serves in the job. Hugh Duffy replaces Barrow in the Boston dugout.

Michael Heizer
Adjacent, Against, Upon
Myrtle Edwards Park (north of Pier 70)
3130 Alaskan Way W.
National Endowment for the Arts, Seattle Arts Commission, Seattle City Light 1% for Art, and private donations provided by the Contemporary Arts Council of the Seattle Art Museum
Michael Heizer's Adjacent, Against, Upon, initially controversial, has grown to be an important part of the landscape. The artwork juxtaposes three large granite slabs in different relationships to cast concrete forms. The granite slabs (30-50 tons each) were quarried in the Cascade Mountain Range and transported by barge and train to Myrtle Edwards Park.
The granite slabs are placed in a row along the narrow waterfront park, one lying adjacent to a three sided concrete plinth, another resting against an angular four sided plinth, and the last resting atop a five sided plinth. Visitors are able to view the work from a path extending the length of the sculptural arrangement.

RIP Mom.

It's not unusual for me to ride 2-3 hours and see perhaps five cars. If you've spend any time riding in and around larger cities, riding a bicycle in Yamhill county is heavenly. Like anything, you need to pick your spots. Highway 47 has perhaps the best shoulders of any road in the county and is more than adequate for cyclists and auto traffic.
I would agree that better shoulders on many roads would benefit everyone and unless I missed something, Oregon does still require that a portion of gasoline taxes be used to fund pedestrian and bicycling facilities. (see Oregon Bicycle Bill, 1971) Lobbying ODOT and Yamhill county to apply some of that funding towards improvements to the link roads like Meadow Lake and Westside road would be far more productive than trying to ban cyclists. Get real.
These people who wish to legislate every tiny aspect of human life should poke their heads outside the bubbles in which they live and observe the rest of us going about our lives sometime. That goes for you, too, Donovan J. Douglas. Please, oh please protect me from myself!
I drive a car and a pickup. Using the above logic, why should I have to pay taxes on both when I've already paid on one.....................?
I also ride a bicycle. My thought is that if there was a little more pro-active enforcement of traffic laws as they pertain to bicycles, and some, not all, but some bicyclists didn't act so entitled perhaps these arguments wouldn't arise.
Remember the nasty comments when bikes ran the stop sign in Amity and got a ticket? I was on the Ballston-Amity road that day and personally observed more than one group riding 3 and 4 abreast and refusing to get into a single file line so cars could safely get by. Since I'm on that road frequently, I can tell you that it is not an uncommon occurrence, especially when the coast rides and other rides that use that route to avoid 18 are going on.

text: 5 Fantastic & movingmadkids | 22/05/2009 | See all madkids's reviews (1)This is a fantastic book, the story is not long but it does not need to be, written exactly in the way a 9 year old boy thinks. It is a story of friendship and sadness and really moving, unlike anything I have read before. The ending really gets you and makes you think about the book for a long time after. Definately one to buy.

KENTUCKY (7/22/13) – When we urge for a snack on a hot and humid summer day, what's the first thing that comes to mind? That's right… Ice Cream! The month of July celebrates National Ice Cream Month.
Back in 1984, President Ronald Regan designated the month of July as the National Ice Cream Month and the third Sunday of July as National Ice Cream Day.
Enjoyed by 90% of our nation's population and with hundreds of flavors and toppings to choose from, one can't go wrong with ice cream.

Master of Arts in Pastoral Studies (MAPS)
The Master of Arts in Pastoral Studies (MAPS) embraces four areas of development - intellectual, ministerial, human, and spiritual. In addition to a ministerial heart, effective pastoral ministers embody personal and spiritual maturity, knowledge of theology and other disciplines, and pastoral skill. This degree provides a uniquely systematic and in-depth education in pastoral ministry's knowledge base and methodologies; it provides ministers a broad and deep foundation in religious thought, and lays the groundwork for an effective and well-informed pastoral practice.
Students who enroll in the MAPS degree can study under the general MAPS program or focus their studies in one of three areas of "specialization."
Program Concentrations
- MAPS - Health Care Chaplaincy Concentration
- MAPS -Religious Education Concentration
- MAPS -Youth Ministry Concentration

Rendered Speculation: Scion tC convertible cometh?
by Zach Bowman (RSS feed) on Apr 22nd, 2010 at 6:39PM
The good people at Inside Line seem to think Scion has an itch to go topless. The site names a handful of unnamed sources that say Toyota's youth-bent brand is looking for an easy way to inject some life into its lineup – something that could be easily accomplished by cutting the roof off of the newly unveiled tC coupe. The car just received its first significant redesign in six years, and as such, IL seems to think the time is ripe to add a convertible model to the mix. The site makes a compelling case for the move, including the fact that there are very few affordable drop heads on... Read More

Michelle Basch,
WASHINGTON - Opponents call it "Tollmageddon," but operators of the Dulles Toll Road say big toll hikes are necessary to help pay for the Dulles Rail project.
In an open house format Thursday at Stone Bridge High School in Ashburn, Va., the first in a series of public meetings on toll increases took place. Charts were placed around the cafeteria and members of the public were invited to talk one-on-one with planners.
The current plan is to raise the combined main plaza and ramp tolls for two-axle vehicles from the current $2.25 to $4.50 by 2015.
Rob Yingling with the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority, which operates the toll road, says the original plan was for an even bigger toll increase, but a pledge of about $150 million from Virginia helped lower the hike.
"Revenue from other sources and favorable loans could help us further reduce the rate of toll increases going forward, so we're looking at all those options too," Yingling says.
Michael Oxman was among those in attendance. He says the new Metro line is needed, but he's concerned about funding.
"Somebody has to pay for this stuff. The question is, is there a better way to pay for it?" Oxman says.
Rich Knox thinks the rail line is a "Metro to nowhere."
"I think the people that use it (the rail line) should pay for it," Knox says.
Two more public meetings are planned next week in Reston and McLean.
Comments also can be submitted online or through the mail through Sept. 16, when the public comment period closes.
For more information on the hearings and to submit online comments, click here.
A group opposed to a toll increase - NoTollIncrease.org - is collecting signatures on a petition.
