Copperfield is a great place to live alone or with a small family. They have decent size apartments and pretty nice kitchens and bathrooms. They have also been in the process of making a better common area, updating computers and such, but even that entails problems. The staff has little to no computer experience and has made it so that the room with two printers in it (connected to the next computers) will not print anything do to "Family Safety Settings". Also, they may advertise a pool, but they cut the hours every year, and decide to close the pool on the spur of the moment so that they don't have to deal with its responsibilities. So if the pool, printer, or wifi is what catches your attention, think again. Their wifi is only good in the common area, and I wouldn't describe it as high speed. Overall though, I give it a pass.

Rated 4 out of 5?by Lawman I am a new tenant but so far everything has met or exceeded my expectations.
From the moment I met management I was treated courteously and respectfully. I found that the entire operation at Copperfield is first class.

Rated 4 out of 5?by ryan1014 This is a really nice place to live
I have been here for almost a year now and I haven't had many problems at all. The management is really nice and quick to fix anything that breaks. There is plenty of parking available if you invite guests over, and the neighbors are all pretty friendly. The location is great, it's really close to everything you need. The pool is nice and has always been kept clean.The best part about this place is they have a washer and dryer in each unit!!! The rent is a bit expensive, but not terrible. Overall, a good place to live.

Rated 2 out of 5?by Miva2008 Blame-game
There are too many young people here with attitudes. In stead of talking to your neighbors, they stomp around, making living difficult.
If you complain to the managers, they tell you to talk to the neighbors and to handle it yourself. If I am paying rent, then it should be the manager's job to deal with the issues I have, it shouldn't be just me, but I should have the manager help with finding a solution.
On top of that, rent is outragously expensive!! The benefit to renting an apartment is to NOT pay water, sewer, and garbage. WHY is this a hidden fee here? I wasn't told until the day I signed my lease. Shady behavior. It takes forever, or just a day to fix something. Depending on what it is. My dryer tube is still not fixed, and I reported it last fall.
It just seems to be hit or miss here. Some residents are alloed to do things, such as have nick-nacks on the windows, where as I have gotten notices for having 4th of July decorations on my window and Valentine decorations on my window.

Are Male and Female Entrepreneurs Really That Different?
We've frequently looked at traits and characteristics of small business owners on this blog (for example: here, here), and asked questions such as "Do women make better entrepreneurs?"
I was happy to stumble across a research study conducted by the SBA which lends some more data to our conversations.
Specifically the report looks a sample size of 685 small business owners, of which 349 are women owned firms, in hopes of answering the question:
Are Male and Female Entrepreneurs Really That Different?
While gender was shown not to affect new venture performance when preferences, motivation, and expectations were controlled for, the differences observed among men's and women's new business ventures include the following:
• Men had more business experience prior to opening the business and higher expectations.
• Women entrepreneurs had a larger average household size.
• The educational backgrounds of male and female entrepreneurs were similar.
• Women were less likely than men to purchase their business.
• Women were more likely to have positive revenues
• Men were more likely to own an employer firm.
• Female owners were more likely to prefer low risk/return businesses.
• Men spent slightly more time on their new ventures than women.
• Male owners were more likely to start a business to make money, had higher expectations for their business, and did more research to identify business opportunities.
• Male entrepreneurs were more likely to found technologically intensive businesses, businesses that lose their competitive advantage more quickly, and businesses that have a less geographically localized customer base.
• Male owners spent more effort searching for business opportunities and this held up when other factors were controlled for.
What do you think? Are these findings consistent with what you've experienced?

LOVING the fantasyland audio guide! :)

LOVING the fantasyland audio guide! :)
I had to find some fun ones. I think "Singin' in the Rain" is my main tone.
Reminds me of The Haunted Mansion movie where Eddie Murphy is trying to get his son to whack a spider with a magazine. He won't do it so the older sister comes in and does it.
Boy, I would hope they keep those forms 100% internal. Our markers for free anything was always qualifying for free lunch. If they qualified for free lunch the school absorbed field trip, all consumable fees, athletics etc.
Got my to-do list. Now to do it! Well have to teach class first- that isn't on the list.
Time to not post and do some work. See you all later!
Sent in my request yesterday to Beci for my trip!
Cant wait to hear back what dates we get!! So excited to start planning ADRs for this trip!! It's gonna be me, Kay, and my mom again!
i think LOU needs to do a new Fantasyland guide when the "new fantasyland" is done!
half of what he talks bout in this version is no longer there!! :(
its still great though!!
Ok I cooled off... like I could stay away huh? *sigh*
I just had to share this in between meetings.
Coworker comes to me and asks "What Disney parks are good for my kids' ages?" (she has a 3 year old and 5 year old I think). So I tell her really all of them and that they all have something to offer for young children and old children alike.
She responds: "When you say all 4 parks, you don't mean Universal Studios and Universal Islands of Adventure right?"
Me: "No those aren't Disney parks."
Her: "Oh that's right, they are MGM right?"
Me: ......... (how do you respond to someone who just named two parks with the word Universal in them that they are Universal parks?).... I eventually went with "No, they are Universal. Disney's Hollywood Studios used to be Disney-MGM Studios so maybe that's what you're thinking."
I just had to share...
That is disappointing. I wondered what the Toon Town audio sounds like, if it is the history, or plays like it is still there. I've always wanted these guides but maybe hearing this I'll wait until they are edited.
Ok guys so I am about to join a meeting with my boss where I have to share my desktop via live meeting so I'm disappearing again. Then I'm leaving right after because I have to dial in at 2:15am to do a check-out. Tomorrow I'm working remotely with a funky schedule due to a mandatory meeting they scheduled (without any care for the fact that people on the East coast would have to attend) for 6:00pm my time. Night all!
Okay- going for 10 day in May. Daughter wants to do it all- Sea World and Universal. But I know that my budget won't allow for everything. Room- paid. Flight- I have to pay $500 for the two of us. Rental car will be $600 (will split cost with mom). So I know I have to budget for food and tickets.
So what do you suggest we do? DD wants to be sure and do a water park. I know mom will enjoy Epcot a lot since it will be flower season thingy. What should I budget for- I don't mind paying for daughter's food but she will need to come up with her own tickets to things. I think that is only fair.

"I was looking for a very modern, classy invitation. I stumbled upon this suite and it worked out great! The foil is pretty, the card stock is perfect. I wanted to make the back plain black and they were able to do it. Very accommodating and checks everything before it is printed."
"The personalization was amazing and they did everything we asked. It came back just as asked. I am so happy with the design."
"These invites are beautiful!. Very soft and feminine. The custom designers helped me to use it for my daughter's bridal shower and it came out perfect. Will def use WD again. Thank you."
"I am so very pleased with the outcome of my invitations! The paper quality is amazing, very sturdy, smooth, and feels much more expensive that it was! The printing is precise and clear, and the colors are identical to what you see on the screen. I am beyond thrilled with my invites and cannot wait to send them out!"
"I changed the color and the saying after already submitting it. The review team changed the card to exactly what I wanted in one day and then mailed it out two days later. Excellent people every time I called. Really like wedding paper divas."

Some misc. shots...the last rock and lighthouse off the coast beyond which is the open Atlantic and no other islands until Europe. Also, we spotted a fin that day about 20 miles out and circled back around to check it out. Turned out to be a bizarro Ocean Sunfish. I was only able to snap a few shots of it and then it was back to lie down as I was NOT feeling well from the slow swells and had not taken motion sickness drugs in time to stave it off. I didn't get sick, just felt awful but it was small price to pay for an otherwise great trip.

In my time, Ive appeared at Carolines Comedy Club, starred in an MTV pilot, auditioned for reality TV, sold my panties online, tried my hand at writing porn, and even stripped on Fuse TV on a show called the Pants-Off Dance-Off. At least Im not swallowing live maggots on Fear Factor, I said to myself while shaking it bare-ass for the Fuse camera. That lissome look in my eyes was me thinking of my unpaid Con Ed bill. For that gig, I took home $200.

I was driving in a nearby town today and the main street was blocked because of an accident so I turned right and went down a sidestreet. There on the front yard was a Singer 15 in a nice maple table with a free sign on her. Of course I stopped! As I was struggling to get her into the van a gentleman came out of his house and offered his help. The machine belonged to his wife who had recently gone into a nursing home. He hoped the machine would go to someone who would appreciate it and I said I would. His wife's name is Mary and I found the machine on Fairview Dr. near Mary St. I was so meant to go down that street today! And I have named her .......Mary!
Just checked the serial number and it was allotted on March 27th 1950.....exactly 2 years before I was born! I will take pictures tomorrow in the sun .....she is pretty! Mary |
Follow-Up Postings:
Congratulations. Serendipity...bet you'll make something beautiful on it. |
What a sweet story. I'm so glad "Mary" found a home with you. |
I think you found each other. It was meant to be! |
- Posted by toolgranny (My Page) on Mon, Aug 20, 12 at 23:06
Congratulations. Somewhere in a nursing home is a little old lady smiling because you will love her dear machine. It was just meant to be. |
We are currently in the middle of a bathroom remodel but after that it may be time for a bedroom remodel. I have an L shaped counter in one corner that I had DH build for me about 15 years ago. I intended to sew in the bedroom but I like to sew late at night so that never worked out. It has become a catchall and never seems to be cleaned off. Time to pull it out, put "Mary" in there and maybe a small table to put "Laverne" my FW in there too. With those great "girls" there I will make an effort to put away or giveaway! What I really need to do is re-do my daughter's room as my sewing room but DH thinks it is too soon.....she is not really settled away from home and may be back. |
So glad for you! Enjoy her. Good luck with the bathroom remodel. They can be a royal pain. Theresa |

- Posted by magothyrivergirl (My Page) on Tue, Aug 21, 12 at 9:22
Congrats! Definitely a perfect match! I'm sure the gentleman feels better knowing you will take good care of his wife's sewing machine. Let us know how she sews. |
What a nice story! He'd probably been watching out the window to see who would pick up the machine. Enjoy! Donna |
Y'know I learned a long time ago that there is no such thing as a coincidence...!! I also do love the "old" Singers. Enjoy! Marge |
- Posted by teresa_nc7 (My Page) on Tue, Aug 21, 12 at 13:28
How nice that you are giving this machine a new home! I'll bet the gentleman felt good giving his wife's machine to a person who actually does sew. You might want to get the wiring and cord checked out and get them replaced. When I got my mom's 1951 Singer 15, the first thing I did was get a new cord and get "Vera" tuned up (Vera is my mom's first name). Just recently I finally found a name for my Swedish Husqvarna Viking - "Frejya" - it is Nordic and means lady or mistress. "Gracie" is my Singer Featherweight, "Sissie" is my Brother serger, and I honestly can't remember if I named my Singer Fashion Mate 1969 model. Teresa |

That's awesome how you found that machine, giving it a good home, definitely sounds like it was meant to be. Hope you enjoy it and get lots of use out of it. Best to you, |
- Posted by littlehelen (My Page) on Tue, Aug 21, 12 at 19:19
Congratulations! it was meant to be and I'm so happy you found each other. It sounds like the one my mom had when I was growing up, my niece is now in possession of that treasure. Your new machine was born on my birth month and date, but not year.... odd Please do post a picture! I need to see if it's the same as the one I learned how to sew on under my moms guidance. V. |
"Mary" is still in my van. DH and DS have been busy with the bathroom renovation so haven't taken her out yet. :( littlehelen March 27th is my birthday too! I can hardly wait to try her out but I also want the bathroom done. Priorities!! Mary |
Sometimes a detour leads to a treasure that is met to be found. Enjoy your find and as you sew on Mary think of of all the pleasure it must have given the little old lady who gave her to you. I hope she knows how much it is loved. TFS. |
- Posted by littlehelen (My Page) on Wed, Aug 22, 12 at 19:24
Mary...I'm sure you will love your birthday machine... perhaps our b-date has a special spell over it! It was born just 5 years before me. After the remodel...I look forward to seeing Mary! Valarie |
Here she is.....sorry not a great picture but the house is topsey turvey at the moment. In the drawer was a singer oil can, a tube of motor lubricant in the box, a box of attachments, the old screwdriver and the manual. |
- Posted by magothyrivergirl (My Page) on Fri, Aug 24, 12 at 9:25
She is beautiful! Sew exciting - the machine, not the remodel :) She adopted a nice friend for an owner. |
- Posted by littlehelen (My Page) on Fri, Aug 24, 12 at 11:25
She's fabulous! Very similar to the one I learned to sew on, but a model or two older. What a great find for Birthday partner... Happy sewing! Valarie |
Love how beautiful they made machines back then. I learned on a Singer treadle that my Mom had and it was great. |
THis looks like the one my mother traded her treadle in on. A wonderful machine which had lots of use including making my wedding dress and those of the bridesmaids. Theresa |

You are currently browsing the tag archive for the 'Sales Performance Management' tag.
We have just released our 2012 Value Index for Sales Performance Management (SPM), in which we evaluate the competency and maturity of vendors and products. Our firm has been researching this software category for many years, and our latest benchmark research in sales performance management found many areas for improvement among sales applications in a field where many sales organizations still use outdated or insufficient applications to manage revenue generation and customer relationships.
I am excited to bring this research to market again this year. No other research firm performs this level of analysis or follows it up on a regular basis. The Ventana Research methodology utilizes a request for proposal and assessment approach, and each value index takes six months to complete; unlike other analyst firms, we look at the product details that have the most importance in successful adoption and use. In the process we identify best and worst practices that further refine how we assess technology vendors in each category.
Our Value Index analysis for Sales Performance Management looks at the complete range of applications for sales organizations, including forecasting, coaching, compensation, incentives, quota and territory management and other key areas. This year it also examines the emerging needs for mobility, collaboration and analytics. We examine role-based requirements for a sales organization, from management, managers and operations to the account and sales representatives. We also look at the need for integration with other applications and processes. We individually assess and score the key product areas of usability, reliability, manageability, adaptability and capability, and also the customer assurance areas of validation and TCO/ROI.
A lot has changed among SPM suppliers since our last Value Index. For instance, Oracle has made multiple releases of Fusion CRM for Sales. Its applications are now rated Hot and rival those of salesforce.com; as well Oracle has many applications that salesforce lacks. For the first time we assessed SAP Sales OnDemand; its new focus and the updates to this cloud-based application have advanced it significantly. Xactly continues to release applications that are usable, manageable and adaptable to an organization's sales processes. Microsoft has made significant strides with its applications, which now can be accessed on mobile platforms such as Apple iOS and Android. These are just a few examples of the advances in applications for sales that go well beyond the traditional sales force automation of the past.
While many vendors use the sales performance management moniker to describe their application suites or capabilities, some are just beginning to address the broad scope of needs across all sales processes. We do not assess in the SPM context vendors that provide only sales force automation applications, which really just track accounts, contacts and opportunities; that is only one portion of what sales organizations need to be efficient and effective. The SPM category is maturing rapidly, with new applications and capabilities that often available for rent in the cloud by organizations that prefer that approach to buying and installing software.
Our Value Index methodology assesses vendors across the seven categories noted above, each weighted according to its priority to buyers, and sums the results to 100 percent for scoring purposes. We placed a heavier emphasis this year on usability and manageability, which organizations indicated in our benchmark research are their highest priorities. You can read the details on our methodology and process in the full Sales Performance Management Value Index 2012 report.
Our analysis this year found eight vendors that provide robust offerings and deserve to be rated Hot, which is the highest value level and demonstrates maturity of offerings. Oracle and salesforce.com rank at the top, followed by SAP, Xactly, Microsoft, Varicent, CallidusCloud and Synygy. We note in our analysis that Microsoft and Oracle showed rapid product advancements, and their focus on usability, manageability and adaptability helped raise them in the ratings from last year. Oracle is the only vendor ranked Hot in the Capability evaluation, which is a thorough examination of all of the features needed for sales performance management. Salesforce.com has its work cut out to keep pace and maintain its leadership position in the face of fierce competition from the other vendors listed here.
We take pride in our Value Index, and we believe it is cool to be a Hot vendor. Unlike us, IT-focused analyst firms that do not research or advise sales organizations have a limited view focused on SFA or sales compensation and have created more confusion than clarity. The competitive market for these applications comprises a mature set of applications and capabilities across the roles and responsibilities of sales. Congratulations to the vendors that stood up to our detailed assessment processes and granular analysis, which represent how organizations assess and select vendors. If you want further information, please download the executive summary. We look forward to offering continued guidance to buyers on this critical application category for sales and operations professionals who need to have the most productive and result-oriented sales organizations.
Mark Smith
CEO & Chief Research Officer
Businesses aim to make their sales function as productive as possible, but they don't always support that goal with investment in technology. I recently wrote about sales needing a swift technology kick. Sales application vendor Xactly provides a boot with the release of Xactly Incent 8 and will make parts of the application suite available from the Apple App Store for the iPad in the coming weeks.
According to our benchmark research on sales applications, 40 percent of sales organizations plan to deploy tablets initially or deploy them further. Since sales is already one of the largest adopters of tablets and smartphones, vendors that provide relevant applications will have a ready market. On the iPad, Xactly is providing sales analytics, easy access to quota and commission metrics and specifics of compensation plan performance by product and customer. Users can quickly determine sales performance and interact with the analytics. In addition to the native iPad app, Xactly offers a browser-based version that can work across a variety of smartphones, including those running Android. These advancements in sales analytics are smart as sales is one of the fastest growing adopters of using mobile tablets and smartphones for getting to applications and information. The new Xactly Explorer provides drill down and ad-hoc analytics needed by a range of sales roles. But beyond analytics they now provide the ability to set objectives to address the larger scope of sales performance that can be monitored and scored for integrating into a sales review for providing any additional compensation.
Along with the advances in mobility, Incent 8 helps administrators and sales operations team communicate within the application through its announcements, which can provide immediate notification for reviewing plans or when payments are ready to be made.
I like Xactly's eDocs and Approvals module, which automates workflow for compensation documents and plans and integrates them within the system. This saves time and hassle by bringing all the components of a compensation plan into one application. Another module, Xactly Territories, lets users manage and optimize territories and define crediting rules and assignments, which is an area where mistakes often occur in manual and spreadsheet-based approaches. Xactly Sandbox provides users with a copy of their production data they can use to experiment as they deal with the changes that are constant in sales and strive to achieve their goals.
Almost half (49%) of sales organizations in our research admitted that the use of spreadsheets impedes the management of sales. Xactly can integrate data from sources such as sales force automation (SFA) and accounting applications and Microsoft Excel spreadsheets with its enhanced data integration service Xactly Express Connect, which uses technology from Informatica Cloud. This helps organizations bring data into the application and send it out to payroll and other systems that need commission and quota information. This application is built using Force.com, so it already integrates with Salesforce.com's SFA environment.
Incent 8 shows sales administrators the state of their data and documents. To expedite access to the many applications that sales people might need to sign in for, Xactly has added SAML integration for easier single sign-on across applications. This release provides all the core capabilities for compensation and planning and management of sales commission payments. If you need analytics, modeling, territories and other capabilities, you can upgrade to other packages, which Xactly facilitates through its support services.
Xactly provides its applications on demand via software as a service (SaaS), which has become the preferred choice of 41 percent of sales organizations. By operating in the cloud Xactly can provide benchmark metrics that aggregate above and across its customers, providing broad insights into sales operations.
In addition to Incent 8, there is a new version of Xactly Express for small and midsize businesses; it also includes a tablet-based application that helps users ascertain their teams' reps performance toward quota, which tops the list of concerns in our sales analytics research. Express also empowers sales teams to review their progress at any time without resorting to spreadsheets. The new version provides the drill-down and ad-hoc analytics needed by a range of sales roles, but beyond analytics, Xactly can set objectives and so monitor and score the complete scope of sales performance as part of reviews and for compensation purposes.
Xactly has supercharged its applications with analytics, which our research has found is the number-one technology trend for sales organizations, and now offering internal communication within its products that will hopefully evolve to further collaboration which is the second most desired technology trend in sales. Xactly goes well beyond sales compensation to provide a suite of applications for the needs of sales operations and the overall sales organization. Xactly understands the role of sales operations in supporting both management and account representatives, which is a major reason its business continues to grow. With Incent 8 it offers more sophisticated mobile and sales analytics support while addressing many of the core sales process and efficiency needs of organizations. I expect Xactly to continue to expand and support more needs of sales teams and impact not just the pipeline and forecast, but commissions and incentives. Xactly has advanced significantly since my last written analysis and continues to deliver incremental value to its customers and the industry. If you have not looked at Xactly recently, now might be the time to learn about the latest version.

Alexina Graham is no stranger to fashion editorials. In the beautiful and haunting editorial 'A Point to Remember,' photographed by Sy Delorme and styled by the magnificent Sonia Logerot, Graham shows off her flexibility and versatility.
Graham displays the clothes in a natural manner, making her role as a ballerina seem not only believable, but also romanticized. In the Black Swan-eqsue editorial Graham exudes lightness and a sense of pretty counteracted by her disheveled hair in one shot and her empty expressions. Prompting the question, how can something so beautiful be so dark?
The pinks and silks radiate in contrast to the dark feathers and dark appliqué designs against Graham's body. It is an editorial with a split personality and Alexina Graham literally hits it on point.

This is a good body wash, but for my skin it was too fragranced and I broke out into acne bumps on my back.
I use this when I travel, rather than bring three separate products with me for hair, face and body. I genuinely do use this for all three and it works really nicely. Unlike some products that claim to multitask (ahem... philosophy) it is really nice as a shampoo and won't leave your hair dry or tangled. It's also great as a body wash. I would not use it every day as a facial cleanser, but for a few days at a time while traveling, it works well for me. The reason I wouldn't use it every day is that it's heavily fragranced and it contains a cleanser that I find too harsh for every day, Sodium C14-16 Olefin Sulfonate. This is also an ingredient in some of Neutrogena's cleansers. I like my cleansers to be fragrance-free and gentle, but the convenience while traveling is worth making an exception. I do wish this had a subtler, unisex fragrance, but hey! It's a men's product so I can't really complain.

Started using skincare a few months ago and bought the FIRST CLASS FIVE and loved it alot. The underlying issue of my skin is acne so I stopped using this product (using another Jack Black for my cleanser) so now I am using this as my body wash and could not be happier :) I feel so fresh and so clean now. Will be purchasing this product in the pump soon. If JB made a black and blue loofa I would buy it to match my bath hahah :)
I really hate to rain on everybody's parade here but my skin all over my body not just my face is totally red with a rash like breakout. It smells good, cleans pretty good but as for my skin it hates it. I know it was this becuase I stopped using it last night and my skin has already calmed down. Back to Shiseido Men I go.

jack black pure clean daily facial wash is the best cleanser ever. i'm a female and still use it. it takes care of oiliness and blemished skin. my boyfriend has normal skin and he uses it too with great results. awesome product. i'm allergic to all the girly skin washes because of too much frangrance. this is all natural and fragrant free. hands down.
This is one of the best all over products out there. It is fantastic as a shower gel and it performs very well as a shampoo or face wash also. As such it is the ideal product for showering at the gym or travelling. It is not too expensive either if you buy it in the large size pump bottle. The scent is hard to describe, the individual notes are hard to pick out but it smells modern and masculine and also synthetic, but not in a bad way.

Nordstrom SA talked me into this when I repurchased Jack's Girl Shave Silk. Been looking for a more charge card-friendly alternative to the Darphin shower gel ($70 for 13 oz...ouch!!) so I gave this a try. So glad I did. LOVE the fragrance! Can't identify it except that it's quite refreshing. Label says you can even wash your hair with this, though I haven't tried that. Hard to believe this is a man's product...my sensitive skin certainly likes it. My next JB purchase will be the lip balm. :>)

When the name's included with the plant (thank you, Rob's Violet Barn) it's easy to identify them. However, my local nurserywoman is an orchid enthusiast and couldn't care less what she sells me. Take a look and see if you can help me out? If it's any incentive, I'm a very decent photographer so this may be easier than you think. |

Luke 4:14-21; 1 Corinthians 12:12-31a
The opening scene of Jesus' public ministry left no doubt: a commitment to Jesus involves a commitment to build communities of peace and justice. But first comes the calling.
Isaiah 43:1-7; Luke 3:15-17, 21-22
Names are sacred words by which we are individualized. Jesus, in baptism, received a new name. So do his followers. Baptism also sets each of us apart as a particular kind of person—one owned by God. Those who have been baptized are called to live out the meaning of this remarkable reality.
1 Samuel 3:1-10; John 1:43-51; Psalm 139:1-6, 13-18
I don't carry a beeper or a cell phone. The services of professional biblical scholars rarely require that level of immediate access. No emergency calls to interpret an obscure passage. No rushing to the scene of a textual corruption. Yet it could happen. We are rapidly becoming a society "on call." Technology provides us with a constant flow of information.
Leadership 101
Leadership is all the rage at universities these days. There are courses in microleadership and macroleadership, leadership skills and leadership techniques. There are professors of leadership (some of them calling to mind the old adage "Those who can, do, those who can't teach") and institutes of leadership.

on March 10, 2014 Source: Policy Dialogue on Entrepreneurship
One of the rankings that we track regularly is the Global Innovation Index from INSEAD (one of the world's most well-known business schools), the World Intellectual Property Organization and Cornell University. The Index evaluates economies based on their scientific and creative innovation outputs, as well as innovation inputs in five categories: institutions; human capital and research; infrastructure; market sophistication; and, business sophistication.
So which countries come out on top? Switzerland and Sweden remain in the top two spots and while there weren't any newcomers to the top 10, there was a bit of movement. The two largest movers in the top 10 were the United States, up five spots from 10th to 5th, and Singapore which was down five from 3rd to 8th.
The top 10 economies in the 2013 Global Innovation Index:
1. Switzerland (previously 1st)
2. Sweden (previously 2nd)
3. United Kingdom (previously 5th)
4. Netherlands (previously 6th)
5. United States of America (previously 10th)
6. Finland (previously 4th)
7. Hong Kong (China) (previously 8th)
8. Singapore (previously 3rd)
9. Denmark (previously 7th)
10. Ireland (previously 9th)
According to the latest Index, local dynamics are responsible for holding together a still fragile global economic recovery. It points to a shift in innovation policy that focuses on: (1) encouraging high-tech, knowledge-based or 'creative' industries; (2) building up research excellence; (3) attracting global companies; and (4) stimulating spin-offs.

A Rhode Island bishop is speaking out against Gov. Lincoln Chafee (I) and his push to legalize gay marriage.
Roman Catholic Bishop Thomas Tobin said it's disturbing that Chafee has made such a divisive issue one of his first priorities, instead of economic concerns.
"His proposal violates the sincere conscience of many of our citizens and inflames passions on both sides of the issue," Tobin said.
The bill was introduced in the General Assembly last week by State House Speaker Gordon Fox, who is openly gay. Fox said the gay marriage debate will not be rushed, but lawmakers feel this is the right time for lawmakers to address the matter.
A Chafee adviser said gay marriage is an economic issue because it could attract gay and lesbian professionals to the state.

Goji berries contain a wide array of rare and unique vitamins, minerals, carotenoids and phytonutrients. Some of these are believed to be the best sources of antioxidants. Carotenoids are usually found in carrots. However, the carotenoid level of goji berry is way high compared to carrot. The importance of this antioxidant is linked in the identification of a person's maximum lifespan potential. This only point to one thing: the more carotenoids we consume, the longer we'll likely live.
Other antioxidants that a goji berry contains are lutein and zeaxanthin. These two are known to make our eyes healthy. Who wouldn't want to take care for the windows of his soul? Well, consuming a great deal of goji berry will show your care for your eyes. It is scientifically proven that with lutein and zeaxanthin, chances of macular degeneration, which is the leading cause of blindness, will be decreased.
Moreover, goji berries contain antioxidants that are known to increase immune system and longevity. These are polysaccharides, beta-carotene, and germanium. The first one is known for its properties that boost the immune system while beta-carotene boosts interferon's stimulation on the immune system. The same goes with Germanium which is also known to fight certain types of cancer cells.
In addition, goji berries contain 18 amino acids which include all eight of the essential amino acids. These amino acids make the goji berry a complete source of protein. The fruit also contain sesquiterpenoids which are medically proven to stimulate the secretion of the human growth hormone. Finally, the goji berry contains 21 trace minerals. This great number includes essential minerals such as iron, magnesium, phosphorus and calcium among many others.
Indeed, goji berry is a gift from nature. With all the antioxidant properties of this super fruit, we could say that goji berries are tiny yet enormous source of antioxidants. It is a miracle fruit that must be made available to all health-oriented individuals.

What Newly Admitted Students Should Do
Congratulations! You are about to begin one of the most exciting chapters in your life, one marking the first step in becoming an attorney. Law is a demanding yet noble profession offering the potential for a rewarding and fulfilling career. We hope you will seize every chance to learn the law, and see its potential to change society for the better. Now that you have been invited to join us, we want to make sure you have all the information needed to start what promises to be a remarkable journey. Here are the seven things you need to do to get started:
- Order Transcripts
- Continuously Disclose Changes To Application Data
- Register For Financial Aid
- Please Note Important Dates
- Find Accommodations
- Sign Up For Residential Utilities
- Keep The Communication Flowing
1: Order Transcripts. The first thing you need to do is to request official transcripts from each educational institution you attended. The transcripts must be sent from each school directly to the Office of Admissions, and they must arrive no later than the last day of Bridge Week. In the event they are not received by the last day of Bridge Week, you will be unable to begin school this year. This policy is non-negotiable. Also, at least one transcript must indicate the award of a bachelor's degree and it must come from an accredited institution recognized by the Department of Education.
Please request all transcripts be sent from the registrar's office directly to the following address:
Office of Admissions
Lincoln Memorial University – Duncan School of Law
601 West Summit Hill Drive
Knoxville, Tennessee 37902
If you or the sending institution has questions, please call 865.545.5303 or email email@example.com.
2: Continuously Disclose Changes to Application Data. All students are under a continuous obligation to keep us informed of any changes to information contained in your law school application. Students are warned that breach of our disclosure obligation could result in sanctions This includes any changes of address, phone numbers, email addresses, arrests, financial obligations, tickets, you become party to a lawsuit, etc. Should something change, simply write a complete explanation and send it to us.
We cannot overemphasize the importance of this disclosure obligation. Fear of embarrassment or concerns about bar admission often motivate students to conceal personal information someone might not want to disclose. However, concealing this information in the face of a disclosure obligation is a discrete, stand-alone form of misconduct raising its own concerns about your character and fitness for the practice of law. The board of bar examiners of the state where you plan to take the bar exam requires that you undergo a criminal and financial background check. You will have to explain any discrepancies between these search results, contents of your bar application, and information in your law school file. Failure to account for any inconsistencies may prevent you from bar admission. Therefore, failure to disclose information to us over the duration of your studies not only violates our Code of Conduct, but it can jeopardize your eligibility to sit for state bar examinations.
3: Register For Financial Aid. You may register for financial aid by completing the Free Application for Federal Financial Aid (FAFSA). The link to its website is www.fafsa.ed.gov. More complete information is available under a link marked "Future Students". (Go to the page marked "Financial Aid".) Be sure to LMU as your school. The LMU Federal School Code is 003502. Please register for financial aid as early as possible as this will determine when funds are disbursed.
4: Please Note Important Dates. There are several important dates requiring your participation. Matriculating students must attend Orientation, Bridge Week, and the start of classes. Other dates are recorded in the academic calendar, which can be found online under "Current Students". (Look for a link marked "Policies, Procedures and Resources.")

Bridge Week Syllabus – Fall 2014 – FINAL
Bridge Week Course Pack – Fall 2014 – FINAL
In case you are interested, the first semester course schedule will be posted here by July 15th as well.
Schedules – Fall 2014 – First Year Students
During your course of study here at LMU Law you will need a laptop. The good news is that one will be provided for you. At the end of your three years (full-time) or four years (part-time) it will be your laptop to keep. All of the software necessary for your course of study will be preloaded and we even have on-site technical support should you have any issues.
5: Find Accommodations. If you already have a place to live, then you may not need this information. However, if you do not live in the Knoxville area, then you will need to find a place to live. The good news is that as a college town, there are plenty of places to rent. Unfortunately, units closest to downtown and the University of Tennessee do not stay vacant for long. However, the law school is easily accessible from the interstate and rush-hour traffic is not very heavy. LMU Law's technological infrastructure allows remote access to library resources, which is a valuable asset to students who commute longer distances. The law school's facilities also include plenty of small rooms where students can study if they cannot go home between classes.
6: Sign up for residential utilities. Related to housing, you may also need to sign up for utilities. Where you decide to live will determine the utility company (or companies) providing the services you need. Remember, you will need electric, possibly gas, water, cable or satellite, and Internet access, and potentially a telephone company. A partial listing of options is available from the City of Knoxville's website – http://www.cityofknoxville.org/newcomers/utilities.asp. It is also helpful to know that if you live in a townhome or condo, you will need to subscribe to a garbage service provider.
7: Keep the communication flowing. Effective communication depends on the sending and receiving of information. Since we rely on email to circulate information through the law school community, we ask that you get in the habit of checking and reading your email regularly. We also ask that you regularly consult the section of website marked "Current Students". Here you will find the Student Handbook and information about class schedules, and the textbooks required for each professor's course. (As noted in an earlier mailing you should have received, there are a number of study aids available to help with assigned readings. Many of these resources are expensive, and comparable resources may already available through the law school library, which provides students with access to numerous study guides. Please consult your professor, the librarian staff, and upper level students to identify the most suitable materials.)
You now have the information needed to start law school! Enjoy the rest of the summer, and please know that we are here to help your transition to law school life. If you have any questions, please call 865.545.5303 or email us at email@example.com..

MICHAEL L. GRACE and CRUISING THE PAST…
During the mid-80s, Michael Grace was a writer on the TV Series THE LOVE BOAT. He wrote many of the two hour special featuring great stars of the past, including Lana Turner, Claire Trevor, Anne Baxter, Ethel Merman, Alexis Smith, etc. The public's access to these stars, in familiar dramas and comedies, made them want to go on a cruise. They could see the stars in an ordinary world as "regular" people. The phenomenally successful series was responsible for creating the cruise industry as we know it today. It was a ten year info commercial reaching planet. Much of it was over-the-top fantasy but it has to be one of the greatest selling tools or all time. Without Love Boat, there would be no Carnival Corp or the endless large cruise lines. P&O Lines (owner of Princess Cruises until Carnival bought it) said "Love Boat" brought in over a billion dollars in business. Love Boat was the ultimate realization of a TV show turned into a brand name.
Love Boat contrasted with Grace's own experience with ships and cruise liners. He had sailed on over thirty ships and liners with his parents, aunt and grandmother in early 50s to early 70s. He had been a passenger aboard ships operated by Cunard Lines, Holland America Lines, US Lines, American President Lines, Matson Lines, Pacific Far East Lines, Grace Lines, Delta Lines, Moore-McCormick Lines, Swedish America Lines, Home Lines, Canadian Pacific Lines, Italian Lines, American Export Lines, P&O Lines, Orient Lines, Italian Lines, French Line, etc. He sailed on some of the great liners and passenger ships including the Kungsholm, President Hoover, Empress of Canada, America, Lurline, Medea, Mauritania, Homeric, Mariposa, Monterey, Matsonia, President Wilson, Dentledyke, Del Sud, Santa Rosa, Oriana, Prince George, Royal Viking Sky, etc. He experienced P&O Line's Canberra going Around-the-Pacific in the late 60s and the next time he heard of this ship she was doing troop duty during the Falkland War. He sailed with his aunt on the Saturnia – the pre-war Italian Line ship was the first to have individual balconies or verandas for their first class staterooms. His last cruise voyage prior to 2000, was aboard Carras Line's Daphne sailing to Havana, Cuba in 1978 from New Orleans. Thee have been no passenger ship services between the USA and Cuba since.
By the time he was writing for Love Boat, the great steamship companies and their liners were flying hand me down foreign flags, painted like old whores, scrapped or doing three day cruises to the Bahamas. You couldn't travel trans-Atlantic except by the QE 2 (only in the summer) and there were no trans-Pacific voyages. There was no First, Cabin or Tourist Classes. No private grills or skeet shooting or playing the ship's pool. Vanished. Just one big class. Vegas afloat.
The very successful Cruising The Past website has been an outgrowth of Grace's strong interest in cruise and social history. Starting with his first ocean voyage when he was eight years old.
Drawing on his own knowledge and a vast maritime and social history collection, he is able to produce a very successful website.
Cruising the Past captures the moments in the time when passengers "crossed the pone" in style and "getting their was half the fun"!
The website is visited by thousands of people daily who search for a glimpse of the past and researching social history.
He has lectured and consults extensively on the social history of maritime travel.

Bono lost and so did the law firm. Grace won.

I love this bread. It is simple to put together with a bread machine, and tastes wonderful. I love the fact that it doesn't have a lot of sugar and no dairy, yet it still turns out soft and chewy. I just ate two slices with butter and it was excellent!

McDonald's recalled about 12 million Shrek-themed drinking glasses on Friday after they were found to contain the toxic metal cadmium.
The 16-ounce glasses have a painted design from the new movie "Shrek Forever After" and were a part of a promotional campaign for the film, which premiered May 21.
According to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, the paint used in the design on the glasses contains cadmium, a carcinogen that has been found to cause weak bones and severe kidney problems.
"A very small amount of cadmium can come to the surface of the glass, and in order to be as protective as possible of children, (the Consumer Product Safety Commission) and McDonald's worked together on this recall," CPSC spokesman Scott Wolfson said.
The CPSC is concerned that children using the glasses may not wash their hands after use. The government agency also says long-term exposure to the paint could cause it to leech into the body.
"We believe the Shrek glassware is safe for consumer use," McDonald's USA spokesman Bill Whitman said. "However, again to ensure that our customers receive safe products from us, we made the decision to stop selling them and voluntarily recall these products effective immediately."

I tried this for three months period (So called hurricane pack) about 6 months back. My experiences: 1. There was supposed to be a free gift - usb drive/headphone set - for online booking. It never came and my mails and calls remained unanswered. 2. The speed was supposed to be 12 MBPS. It never went beyond 5 MBPS. Usually hovered around 3-3.5 MBPS. Measured on bandwidthplace.com and speedtest.net. Complaint mails remained unanswered and calls did not provide any help. 3. The connection stopped working two days before expiry date. I'm flooded with reconnection mails and phones. However, There is no response to mails and complaint calls do not yield any answers. These are too trivial for Consumer forum :-( The only thing in support, the connection did not fail any time during the three month period. But, I've BSNL dataone connection for last 6/7 years and it failed only two times during this period and the call centre directed me to technical team and the connection was restored fairly quickly (about a day). My experience with BSNL is good - though the speeds are limited. (My connection is for 512 KBPS and I routinely get this speed.) HTH Vikas Garud

The Right Reverend Dr. Tom Wright Lord Bishop of Durham, or more popularly known as N. T. Wright, wrote this concise theodicy after giving five lectures at Westminster Abbey on the topic in 2003 (10). Known for his massive technical and scholarly works on NT studies, this volume is on a more popular level, directed to the serious lay student, tackling the classic dilemma of the problem of evil from a fresh approach.
The catalyst for pursuing the topic of evil included the events of 9/11 (9, 16) as well as other recent natural disasters (9). The book almost reads like a personal polemic against President Bush and Prime Minister Tony Blair, and their "immature" (28, 39, 99, 104) response to the terrorist attacks as they labeled specific countries an "axis of evil" (16). Their response with a declaration of war against the terrorists, according to Wright, was a "knee-jerk, unthinking, immature lashing out which gets us nowhere" (26). Wright wants to set the political record straight, and in that vein he formulates his proposed solution to the problem of evil in the vortex of an almost exclusively political, corporate, and social context (41, 98). For Wright, the problem of evil, and its solution, is primarily a political one.
In the first chapter Wright proposes the articulation of a "new" problem of evil (19). The original centuries-old syllogism for the problem of evil was intrinsically flawed, being metaphysical, abstract, and inane (17, 19). Wright's new problem of evil that Christians need to grapple with is threefold: 1) we ignore evil when it doesn't hit us in the face; 2) we are naively surprised by evil when it does; and 3) we react in immature and dangerous ways as a result (24). Bush and Blair are living effigies of those who have responded immaturely and dangerously to evil.
After supplanting the traditional conundrum of the problem of evil with his own contemporary and political rendition, Wright then proceeds to give a brief survey of how he thinks the OT relates to the issue (47-71). He informs the reader that the Bible is ambiguous on the matter (49, 74, 102). He avers that Scripture simply does not give complete answers as to what evil is, why it exists in the first place, how long it will last, why it is allowed to continue, and how long it will go on (44). He asserts, "The Bible simply doesn't appear to want to say what God can say about evil" (45).
In chapter three, Wright moves to the NT, highlighting the Gospels (78-83) and the death of Christ (83-100). He says we need to reread the Gospels in a new way, accentuating the political overtones (79), to understand properly what God is trying to do with evil. As for the death of Christ and the meaning of the atonement, Wright champions the Christus Victor theme (95, 114), a recapitulation of the earlier Ransom theory. For Wright, Jesus' death was not a penal substitution whereby He died as a substitute for sinners, incurring the penalty of the Father's wrath in their stead. Rather, Jesus' death was a confrontation with political (83), cosmic (102), and quasi-personal evil forces (81, 109) where He diffused evil, generically speaking, by exhausting it (89), wearing it down (102), and rendering it impotent. Jesus did not die for individual souls; rather, Wright claims, "Jesus died in a representative capacity for Israel," a refrain he repeats frequently (90; cf. 85, 86, 88, 92, 93, 95). He further claims that the popular notion that Jesus died to rescue individual sinners, secure their forgiveness and present to them a future hope of heaven is actually a distortion of true biblical teaching that leaked into the church through the Enlightenment (77-78; cf. 117). He also goes on to say that Christ's death did not secure a once-for-all justification, but rather Christ's death merely "began the process of redemption" (98) which humans are to complete by "implementing the achievement of the cross" (102-03) through social justice and good works (104, 107).
In chapter four, Wright gives specifics as to how the church is to "implement the achievement of the cross" (102). He recommends a panoply of unexpected and even bizarre ideas. For example, we must follow suit with Desmond Tutu and usher in "community restoration and healing" (103). We must jettison capitalism which is "the exploitation of the poor by the rich" (104; cf. 23, 107, 123). We must use projection theory as taught by Carl Jung to quell non-personal organizational evil forces that are latent within various "companies, societies, legislative bodies, and even churches" (111-112). With John Lennon, we must "imagine" a future world without evil but rather one typified by community, beauty, and healing (104, 114-115, 126). We must provide medical care, education, and work for the sick and the poor (122), and embrace "restorative justice" on a national level like New Zealand (124). We need to empower the United Nations and the International Criminal Court to resist war on an international level (125). And finally, we need to maximize the arts to make tangible the imaginations of a future world without evil (128).
In the final chapter, Wright explains how we will finally be delivered from evil on a personal and cosmic basis. The solution is "forgiveness" (132). The priorities of forgiveness that Wright wants implemented do not come from the Bible, but from three books: 1) Miroslav Volf's Exclusion and Embrace (132); 2) L. Gregory Jones' Embodying Forgiveness (134); and 3) Desmond Tutu's No Future Without Forgiveness (134). Three keys of forgiveness that issue from these writings include the following: 1) we need to forgive ourselves (135, 163, 165); 2) God will be able to someday in the future forgive Himself for being an angry God for so long all throughout human history (136); and 3) we need to forgive criminals and terrorist nations (148-49).
N. T. Wright's, Evil and the Justice of God, is commended on the back cover by J. P. Moreland, praising it, suggesting "it should be the first work consulted" on the problem of evil because of its "distinctively biblical approach." This reviewer could not disagree more. Wright's argumentation is religious, but not biblical. In fact, his approach undermines many core biblical doctrines including the following: biblical sufficiency (45) and perspicuity (101); the true meaning of the atonement, justification and imputation (95); the holy character of God (136); the immutability of God (136); the personhood of Satan (111); the reality of eternal hell (116); the implications of the curse at Adam's fall (127); and biblical repentance (163), to name a few. As opposed to giving a strictly "biblical approach," Wright's work reads more like a primer on liberation theology and even toys with socialistic notions. To say this is disappointing coming from one of the most influential and popular Christian theologians of today is an understatement. Those who desire a truly biblical treatment of the problem of evil would do well to consult John Frame's Apologetics to the Glory of God, Jay Adam's The Grand Demonstration, and Randy Alcorn's recent popular work, If God is Good.

"Fresh and tasty! I know this would be even better in summer when my tomatoes are more fresh and I have fresh oregano in my garden. As it was, I had to sub dried oregano, but I still think this worked out fine. I also had to sub shallot for red onion and bibb lettuce for romaine. All were fine substitutions. This made for a healthy nice lunch."
"We really enjoyed this recipe. We had a little bit of difficulty forming them into balls that would retain the shape, though what it looked like didn't matter that much to us. We really enjoyed the flavor and would make again. We served over rice."
"This does make a lot of soup and as another reviewer stated, it is thick and hearty. I just had some leftovers for lunch today and it tastes even better after a day in the fridge. Having read the other reviews, I used somewhat over 1/4 cup of chili garlic sauce (maybe more like 1/3?). I like things pretty spicy, but this amount was perfect for ..."
"I wanted to love this salad. It is easy to prepare and it is very colorful. I thought the taste, however, was a bit bland. I used the tomatillo salsa, but I was able to find it in medium heat because we prefer the kick (the store did not have chipotle, which I might have preferred). I think the salad as is, needs a little dressing up. Definit..."
"I loved this salad. I made it for lunch today using green lentils. I ate half of the salad myself! It is so easy, yet so flavorful. I didn't change a thing and will be making this again. Thanks!"
"We liked this for dinner tonight. Had a lot of great spices and the appropriate amount of heat. Followed the ingredients and directions as posted. We felt that this was greatly improved with more salt and some Greek yogurt mixed into our individual servings. This was quite easy to make without a lot of prep. Served over basmati rice."
"We enjoyed this last night for dinner. It was tasty, but next time we would increase all the spices and curry paste (I should have read Rita's review first). As it was, all three of us stirred more curry paste into our individual servings. We served over basmati rice."
"This gumbo was easy to prepare and is relatively healthy, which are major pros. For the meatless meats, I used Tofurkey's Artisan Andouille sausage (which is really good) and Beyond Meat's grilled chicken free strips (which is also my fave these days for chicken). Unfortunately, we did not love this gumbo and found it to be a bit bland..."
"I loved this recipe for dinner tonight. DH liked it. The sauce was amazing. I'm vegetarian, so I subbed my favorite faux chicken that I recently discovered, in this dish (Beyond Meat's grilled chicken free strips, which happen to be cholesterol and gluten free as well as non GMO). This worked perfect for me, but meat eating DH likes ..."
"We really enjoyed this recipe for dinner tonight. It was flavorful and a great way to use up veggies that are starting to get past their prime. For the veggies, we used French green beans, cauliflower, and even a poblano pepper that was going bad. I would definitely use this combination again. I used half and half instead of milk because that ..."

Real World Direct3D Benchmarks
Comanche 4 Demo
Comanche 4 is a helicopter flying game using the DirectX 8.1 graphics interface. It is used to test the memory and 3D sub systems of a motherboard and video processor. Any weaknesses will show up on this baby.
Comanche 4 shows a slight gap in the two boards.
Aquanox is the latest instalment of our benchmark software. This game is based heavily on DirectX 8 and 8.1 advancements and is designed to stress video cards to their ultimate limit, in all the best D3D benchmark to date.
Due to Aquanox's great demand on the memory, the gap between Albatron and EPoX increases quite a bit.
Unreal Tournament 2003 continues the success that Unreal Tournament generated as an online game and benchmark. UT2003 pulls all of its weight on to the 3D and Memory subsystems, pushing graphics reality to the maximum is its game, and you need some serious power to pull this one off
In the final test of the day the Albatron is slightly behind the EPoX motherboard.

For whatever reason, I played the soundtrack to Notting Hill as I tidied up the house this afternoon, and as I worked I had the thought that domestic activities are part of married-with-kids romance. They're part of the glue that holds family life together, not always enjoyable tasks, not altogether essential, but acts that make the home a better place to be.
I hope your week is off to a good start. xo

I think it's those domestic activities that keep us sane. I love retreating to them whenever I can. I always feel centered. Shelling peas...now that's something I can't wait to do. The green and the light are lovely.

Have you ever visited "Shaker Town" in Kentucky. I think you would love it. I always try to make a visit there when I am home. It is calming to know that generations before found order in domesticities.
Truly, the routine provides structure and order.
Fantastic image and post.

I agree with you and Tracy. Ordinal house works, such as cleaning and organizing prov the house and the family provide sense of security and comfort. They can be daunting tasks, but I try to be creative to enjoy them. Domestic activities are very romantic and the key ingredients for the happy family life. By the way, what is a dream journal? I have never heard of it.

It's funny because my colleagues and bosses keep popping up in my dreams lately. The oddest one recently was where my boss and his daughter appeared and my boss' toe nails were blue- but not nail varnish like something weird from X Men. I have no idea what that was about.
