In today's business environment, companies are increasingly faced with unexpected events that threaten safety, financial stability, and a hard-earned, good reputation. When facing these events, quick decisions must be made. Decisions that will have serious and long-term consequences on the client's bottom line, community standing, and exposure to resulting liability. Overnight, issues can become framed and fixed in the mind of the media, customers, investors, and the general public. There is no time to carefully analyze opposing recommendations.
Today's technological advances have not only added to a well-established list of possible crises, they have also increased the speed at which a crisis, or news of a crisis, is spread. Viral videos, well read bloggers with malevolent intentions, and unsubstantiated web attacks, are all reported in real time to an audience that is sometimes too large to estimate.
Properly confronting, and effectively controlling, these crises requires a cohesive, multi-disciplined team, capable of managing litigation exposure while, at the same time, knowledgeable in the best ways to ensure that the client's position is quickly communicated to it's stakeholders and becomes the lead story for the public.
As the crisis unfolds, the Gray Reed & McGraw Crisis Management team will direct responses and actions in an efficient and coordinated manner. Our assistance is designed to help clients prepare and respond in the appropriate manner, with the appropriate response. Our goals are two-fold - to minimize legal exposure, and, at the same time, protect the reputation of management and the organization.
This multi-dimensional approach is a direct result of our wide-ranging substantive experience in complex civil litigation, internet law, class actions, media-legal issues, corporate governance, accounting, insurance, international trade, and energy law. We want our clients to realize the vital importance of viewing a crisis from a range of disciplines, including litigation, public relations, and public policy.
Knowing firsthand the value of pre-crisis preparation, along with a swift and responsible crisis response, we offer a service capability that includes:
Crisis Prevention is the key ingredient of our Crisis Management Plan. A vulnerability audit will be a major part of our Crisis Management Plan. Litigators, with years of experience and hundreds of trials under their belts, will carefully examine areas in which a crisis is most likely to develop. Using a technique which balances the likelihood of a particular crisis against the possible fallout from the crisis, the Gray Reed team will offer a plan which results in an executive having appropriate recommendations at his or her fingertips.
During a time of crisis, communication is often the primary factor which determines the amount of damage, or gain that is realized from the situation. A crisis Management Plan developed by Gray Reed will provide a communication strategy, specific to the individual company, complete with prioritized stakeholder information, communication avenues, templates, holding statements, and specific guidelines for getting ahead of the crisis.
We strive to make all of our plans as thorough as possible, while also assuring that they'll be of real use in a real crisis. While we try to incorporate certain elements in every plan we write, content will drastically change from one client to another. We do not prepare cookie-cutter plans.
When our clients face a sudden crisis or find themselves encumbered by a smoldering crisis, we help them respond immediately. Our team allows Operations to continue the work of the organization while we handle the crisis.
We focus on cutting through the sometimes paralyzing dichotomy of best practices from a short term liability standpoint and a longer term public relations vision. The Gray Reed crisis management team will assist a client in making the right decisions at the right time. Our experience ranges from managing litigation; to working with regulators, legislators, and federal and state executives; to working with reporters and managing public relations. Our team works closely with our own public relations and communication strategists in order to preserve any and all privileges you may enjoy from consulting with an attorney.
The Gray Reed crisis management team consists of lawyers on the cutting edge of social media and internet law. Our expertise in this area allows us to successfully advance certain responses while deterring those that are inaccurate or misleading.

OLYMPIA -- Attorney General Christine Gregoire has urged Congress to reject proposed legislation that would exempt the U.S. Department of Defense from major national environmental laws governing air quality and toxic waste cleanup on military bases.
In a letter to key congressional committees, Gregoire and 38 attorneys general said the sweeping exemptions being requested by DOD are not justified, and would severely impact the states' authority to protect the health of citizens and the environment.
The DOD is seeking amendments to the laws regulating the management, disposal and cleanup of hazardous wastes on the basis that state authority over clean-up of military sites could interfere with military readiness. The states claim the DOD has already acknowledged none of the laws has ever impacted the readiness of any military facilities. The existing laws also allow the President to grant the DOD waivers in cases where state requirements could interfere with military readiness.
The laws from which DOD is seeking exemptions are the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), the Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA), also known as the Superfund law, and the Clean Air Act.
"The fact is DOD has never come forward with any evidence that these laws interfere with military readiness," said Gregoire. "The State of Washington and the military have always had a good working relationship."
The legislation would affect more than 24 million acres of military ranges across the country. In Washington, the Department of Defense has a significant presence with a full complement of Army, Navy and Air Force bases and substantial areas of active and inactive ranges potentially affected by this legislation.

I do enjoy our discussion threads and as you know will be leading Call of the Midwife on February 1st. BOOK DISCUSSIONS I thought perhaps we could do this every two months. If someone wants to suggest a book and lead a discussion for April 1st please post here. If no one wants to, then I will pluck a book from titles I have been reading, and start another discussion in April. I know people are very busy irl and often cannot make a commitment. I have the time right now and also it is gray, miserable, cold and dark most of the time so it is prime reading time for me. BOOK TITLE POSTS EDIT BUTTON Now works, hurrah!! Anyone else have suggestions, comments, thoughts? |

I am very happy the edit button works! I am sure it will save me much embarrassment in the future. |

We used to have a thread that was specifically for book reviews. It was separate from the monthly threads in that the reviews were much more in-depth. Perhaps we could do a review thread again? And use it solely for those who wish to provide more info. PAM |
Thanks, Pam for responding. I've missed you but was very glad to hear of your news. :) I think we will just motor along as we have been. If people want to write separate posts, they will. Hope you get to join us in the Midwife discussion! |

Janalyn I have not seen anywhere the option of EDIT? I do not pay to use the forums, would that be the reason? Do those of you using Edit pay for the priviledge? Pat |
I think everyone has that ability Pat. I do not pay either. I don't think anyone does. Look at your post above. On the upper right of that post you should see "clippings" which allows you to "clip the post, email it, what is this? and seem most clipped and recent clippings" Right under that it says "NEW! Edit post" If you want to edit a particular post, you click on that and it will bring up your original post and you can modify it any want you want, and it will indicate when you edited it by some italics on the original post.. |
This doesn't happen for me. If I click onto 'clip this post . . .' nothing happens If I click onto 'see most clipped . . .' a long list of previous posts comes up' Nowhere is a message saying "NEW! Edit post". "It's not fair" as the kids used to say. :-( |

It is only possible to edit your own posts so if you are reading a post made by someone else you won't see "edit post". That may be where the confusion lies. |

AH-I see it now! As I see it you are only able to Edit after you have posted your message? Pat |

That is true because before you submit your post you can edit it when you Preview Message by going to the box in which your message is still displayed, down below the previewed message. I hope that makes sense. |
Thanks Francis, that makes perfect sense. I notice it also says I can post photos . . . which may be a move too far for me . . .! |

Thanks for the kind words Janalyn. It is nice to be with my friends at RP. I will be posting shortly on the monthly thread as I have been in one of those reading frenzies that consume all of my time. PAM |

I have a good friend who is itching to get into brewing. However he lives at home and has a small car and not much storage space. His requirements for his brewery are that it brew 10g batches, store small, fit in his small car to come to my house and brew, and not to sacrifice quality. He also wants to keep it to a low budget (Like us all ). Here is what I have come up with... please let me know what you think. First, I have always thought a system with nesting kettles would be awesome for a portable brewery, so I went looking and found this: That's a 15g, 10g, and 8g aluminum kettles for $174 shipped. I brought this up in another thread and many thought this would not work for AG on 10g batches, however, just keep reading then we'll hash out the logistics later. Next, He needs a burner. A few people on here have used this setup to great effect and I think it is perfect for portable breweries. It can be had here for $179 + $45 shipping He will also need a false bottom and some other odds and ends. All told, here is the parts list (I did not add in a propane tank). .................................................. ...... to be continued...
Here is how I envision this all working: Here is the brewery in travel mode. All kettles nest, chiller in pots, and burner folded up.\ When he gets to my house, he will unfold and un-nest the kettles and burner, then he is setup! Much easier than my setup!!!!1. Heating the strike water and sparge water. The full volume of water will be heated to temp in the BK because the HLT is likely to small for many beers.2. Doughing in and mashing. During the mash, the second sparge volume with be transferred to the HLT and brought back to the desired temperature. The first sparge volume is left in the BK where it should remain at the proper temperature.3. To sparge, first the first sparge volume is added from the BK. The mash is stirred, vorlaufed, and drained back into the BK.4. Second sparge. The second sparge volume is then added from the HLT. The mash is stirred, vorlaufed, and drained fully into the BK. All runnings should not be collected.5. The boil is pretty standard.6. So is chilling. .................................................. ... When I initially brought up the nested pot idea, it was shot down mainly because we could not figure out how to move the hot fluids. My solution is to use a copper (or stainless) siphon tube as shown above. It will run down the side of the MLT and under the FB. To start a siphon, he will use one of these: A few quick pumps and he will be off to the races, and still be able to nest the pots! ............................................ Well? What do you all think? Is this a good design, or a bust?
Wouldn't you need a 3rd burner for the hlt? And how will the first sparge water remain at temp?
A third burner would be nice, but I don't think he would need it. You would be amazed how well a large volume of water holds its own temperature. He would be using the banjo burner to keep the HLT and the BK sparge volumes at temp, but they would only have to sit for maybe 20 minutes or less unheated, so he will likely lose around 2 degrees max. It will be more lifting without the third burner but not much and it is probably worth it to him for the easy of moving around factor.
now granted mine is a 5g system. hlt=4g,100cup electric coffee urn mt=5g round cooler,soon to be 10g bk=7.5g turkey fryer setup with drain valve small kitchen cart will hold both mt and hlt march pump for transfer from hlt to mt (fly sparging) all fits easily into the back of my jeep cherokee so should be easy for a small car as well
primary1 :UTOPIA BABY(still searching for it) secondary:middling bastard ipa kegged:simcoe blonde, crystal pale ale, yellow jacket golden ale, lemon shandy blondeDRINKIN DAWG BREWERY LET'S GO RED WINGSjoin michigan mashers here extraction calculator grains in pounds(G) X 36(average points per gallon of grains) / batch size in gallons(g) = maximum efficiency(ME) OG / ME = brewhouse efficiency
I think it looks good. might want something to insulate the hlt and I dont see a Y adapter for the propane tank listed in your parts. Im sure he doesnt want to have to deal with 2 propane tanks.
Good call on the Y. He cound probably fit some reflectex around the HLT and still have it nest.

I am starting to figure out how to landscape my backyard. Right now I don't have much back there. I am going to put a bed up next to the back of the house where the dryer vent is. Right now I had thrown in a cedar that use to be in the front of the house in front of the vent. They came with the house and I didn't care if they lived or died. Well, it died from the heat but I would like a shrub there as it is a large expanse of wall. Would something deciduous do okay? With the variation in temperatures there in winter depending on if the dryer is on or off, should I go really hardy or it is a chance to zone push? What does everyone else have in front of theirs? Or should I just stick to perennials? The spot gets some morning sun and then it is full shade for the rest of the day. I had thought of a climbing hydrangea but I'm not positive if one will grow here or not.

You should search the site, Syreeta - i'm sure there was a thread about this very thing in the past year or so. I'm not sure which forum it was though - it would be either this one or Northern, i would think. |

Marcia, I did search the forum and we did have a thread in August that mentioned a dryer vent but it was only in passing when someone was having a hard time with a full sun/dry location. The only other 'good' information I found that I might not of thought of was that because of the moisture plants might get mildew. I.E. roses, hollyhocks or phlox. Due to that, do many shrubs have mildew problems? I can't really think of many that do, I seem to remember lilacs might. They want more sun than this site offers so it doesn't matter. Syreeta |
I just tried searching the entire GW and didn't find anything. Gad, maybe i'm hallucinating! LOL As far as PM problems, there are plants that are susceptible to it - verbena and phlox are two that come to mind immediately. Usually plant descriptions will tell you of potential problems, so you would probably want to use plants that don't mention PM as one of their problems. What i remember about that thread was something about there being more warmth where there's a dryer vent and that might cause a freeze/thaw problem. I have a shrub planted near our dryer vent, but it's away from the outer wall and there hasn't seemed to be a problem there yet. Maybe someone else can help. Sorry! |
Just an idea, but since you can't move the vent, can you make a heat/moisture deflector? I am thinking of some flashing under the vent that sticks out about at a 45 degrees angle upwards. That way the air from the vent will hit the deflector and distribute up, or at least, not directly on the plant below it. Almost like a wind block. Kim |
I had a dryer vent on the north side of the house, with bergenia and hostas nearby. (I say 'had' because we now have a deck built in that spot so therefore no plants). The dryer vent melted the snow that was right underneath the vent, about a foot wide circle. I suppose every situation might be different. In winter there would be bare wet soil, or a puddle on laundry nights. The plants did okay but they weren't directly in the path of the airflow. One plant was maybe 18 inches to the right of the vent, another 18" to the left. As for woody plants, I don't think they would appreciate being around the dryer vent as the branches would continually warm up and then refreeze, which would mean winter damage. As for a chance to zone push here, I don't think it's a good location. It would be different if, say, it stayed warm constantly, but once the dryer goes off it is "back to winter" for any plants in the area and depending on the path of the warm air, they might not have good snowcover.

Syreeta, I have the dryer vent at the front of the house by the walkway........I grow annuals there....some double tulips and a few asiatic lilies. It doesn't hurt them in the spring summer......and there is nothing on top of the ground in the winter so it doesn't bother the lilies or tulips....the bulbs are planted 6 to 8 inches deep. Don't think a shrub or other perennials would work there.....In fact I would plant shrubs and stuff like that at least 3 feet away from the dryer vent....5 feet would even be better. Sierra |
I have this same problem and have been struggling with it for years. Tried a shrub but it would not tolerate the heat/freeze-thaw cycles; perennials, too but again they would not survive for very long. I also tried the deflector idea that was posted earlier; I used a piece of above ground swimming pool wall in a curved shape with driveway reflector metal stakes and bungee cords to keep it supported. Sound ugly? Well it was so I gave up on that idea although it did work reasonably well. I always was on the lookout for something that would be a more attractive alternative- solid fireplace screen or something to that effect but never did come across anything that would be of reasonable cost. So what did I do? I ended up using a free standing water fountain that was no longer functioning to block the sight of the vent(making sure there was enough airflow around the vent) and planted it up with flowering annuals. This looks attractive and hides the vent but is not the solution that I wanted. I would be happy to hear if anyone else has any suggestions. |
- Posted by SeaOtterCove 2b BC (My Page) on Fri, Oct 28, 05 at 15:39
The vent is about 4 1/2'-5' above ground so I would think perennials would be okay. I like the idea of a deflector but am worried about it filling up with snow and then turning to ice with the heat than freezing temps. If I could figure out some way of using the flexible hose that is used indoors for the dryer I might be able to direct the heat to the left where there is gravel under the deck. If I do that, I should be able to grow a shrub there. What do you guys think? Here is a picture showing the large expanse of wall. I think it does need something more than just perennials. I will be moving the rhubard to another location so the shrub could be moved over from where my nice current dead shrub is. Oh, and ignore the half finished paint job on the deck. We didn't get enough nice days to paint. Syreeta |
This is pretty ugly too, but in our other house, dh used a piece of PVC pipe that he attached to the opening of the vent and directed the flow further away from the house. For some reason, the air flow was causing a mold or mildew on the siding. Btw, i like the idea of painting the vent the same colour as the house. :) |

Oh dear that cedar looks unhappy :( I concur with Sierra and others that you're best off with something herbaceous that will die back to the ground in winter. I am lucky in this sense that my dryer vent is up in the roof gable, but unlucky in the sense that the attic is unheated and every couple of years it all freezes solid with ice and lint and I have to get up in the attic and take it all apart. Dumb arrangement. Anyway last winter I think it got it sorted out. Marcia I remember that conversation too, it was about which rose bush to plant under a vent. |
I have enchantment lily growing in front of the dryer vent. It has been there for over thirty years. It isn't my favorite lily but it is hardy and no one knows the dryer vent is there. This year I have placed a large sedum there as well so if it survives and does well I will let you know. I wanter both early and late color. I would certainly try some different types of plants such as lilies to see what does well. |
The back of our house faces north, and also has vents (4 various) as well as the utility meters and the water tap. There's also a couple of basement windows that I didn't want to cover up with plants. The deck is also back there spanning half the house. I put in a strip of crushed rock along the house (about 4' deep) and then a 6' deep flower bed in front of the crushed rock, and have planted cedars in the bed to hide it and the back of the house. There's also a narrow rock path that leads to the rocked area (meter man access). Of course, when looking at it from the side the rock strip is noticeable, but it's neat in appearance and obvious access is needed for all that stuff going on back there. It's a great place for summer projects and holding potted plants waiting to be planted out of the sun and wind. When looking at the area from the yard the rocked strip is barely noticeable, and once the cedars grow up shouldn't be noticeable at all. I also have some shrubs planted on the side of the deck, similar to your pic. Having said all that, at our house in Ottawa there was a cedar bush growing right in front of the dryer vent. It was there before we moved in, and still there when we left. The back of that shrub was pretty ugly but it was pretty close up to the house/vent so the ugly part wasn't noticeable unless you crawled back in there (yes, I did). The front of the shrub looked fine. The vent was low down, though, only about a foot or so up from the ground - maybe that helped whereas your vent, higher up, would deflect that air straight onto the shrub. |
Well, if it is an electric dryer, get one of those gadgets that allows you to vent to the inside in the winter. You save the heat and moisture that would otherwise be lost. I have a gas dryer so I vent it to the outside year-round. I have roses there in the summer and in the winter bags of leaves covering the roses. The roses surprized me by not being bothered much by the vented hot air in the summer and, of course the leaves don't mind at all. It looks a bit ugly for a short time in the fall after the roses are trimmed and covered until the bags are covered with snow, but I just don't spend time looking at it then. Regards, Charles |
I have several mahonia grape holly growing about 15" from my gas dryer vent for about 5 years, they are underplanted with pachachandra(?). It is almost full shade since it is between 2 concrete walls and gets about 2 hours of direct sunlight in the summer. I never water them either. the vent is about 3 feet off the ground. keep trying. |

So I have heard that planting around dryer vents is bad for plants. Is the issue just the thawing and refreezing in the winter or will the heat in the summer months have a affect as well. The vent in question in my backyard is maybe a foot off the ground and I was hoping to plant some pentas and phlox there. Any advice from anyone would be helpful and apprecaited. |

Spotlights the challenges and opportunities that impact the application of foodservice equipment and supplies in the real world including green and energy efficiency concerns, foodservice equipment concerns, the impact of technology on foodservice, and the state of the foodservice economy.
It's not uncommon to see more consultants linking up these days, be it a casual partnership between a management advisory services (MAS) specialist and kitchen designer or full-blown merger combining both. Whereas in years past consultants — and all of us in the industry — may have kept more to ourselves, times are changing; many see forming partnerships as an opportunity to expand their services, segments, and reach.
Under pressure to contain costs and increase accountability, healthcare foodservice providers are focusing on improving patient and retail customer satisfaction. Innovative solutions to gargantuan challenges are appearing in operations nationwide.
A responsive, efficient room service program is bringing compliments from patients, staff and visitors and changing their perception of what patient foodservice can offer.
A rebranded food and nutrition department features the state-of-the-art, multiplatform WILDFLOWER café and room service by WILDFLOWER which offers patients a restaurant-style, on-demand food delivery system.
Ice machines are a paradoxical bunch. They can be the forgotten workhorse in a kitchen and often come in last on equipment purchasing priorities. But at the same time, they open up incredible opportunities for total-kitchen energy savings because of their improved efficiencies.
Foodservice operators benefit from proper equipment training.
Writing a spec that meets a foodservice operator's needs in terms of form, function and finance requires a collaborative effort from start to finish. And holding spec remains in the best interests of all parties involved, including design consultants, dealers and reps. Here we explore some best practices for writing and holding foodservice equipment specifications.
Millennials visit restaurants more than other generations so understanding what resonates with them can be the first step to building a foodservice operation that becomes a destination for this age group.
Few people learning a new skill set would want to do so using 40-year-old technology. Unfortunately, that was the exact scenario facing students enrolled in the ProStart program in Rolling Meadows High School in Rolling Meadows, Ill.
The increased temperatures and bump in summer business can cause trouble with refrigeration equipment but it doesn't have to.

On Tuesday, the American Cetacean Society denied a freelancer's request for a press pass to attend the society's annual meeting in Monterey, California, arguing that because he could not guarantee coverage of the event, granting the pass would not constitute a "mutually beneficial" relationship.
The society's decision raises important questions about access to such events, especially at a time when the ranks of freelancers and independent bloggers, many of whom trawl such events for story leads, is swelling.
Erik Vance, a California-based freelancer, called the Cetacean Society in order to request a press pass to the group's 12th International Conference, taking place this weekend. Vance said that the group's executive director, Cheryl McCormick, asked what he was "going to do" for the society and that she could not give out "freebies." In a follow-up e-mail, Vance asked McCormick to clarify what was expected in return for a press pass.
"As we discussed, my expectations for your attending the ACS conference as an invited member of the 'press' would be to cover the event," McCormick replied in an e-mail. "Of course, I understand that journalists may cultivate additional news-related items while they attend the event, but in return for a gratis invitation, event coverage from invited press reps. is reasonable and mutually beneficial."
Vance then wrote a final e-mail to McCormick explaining that neither he, nor a number of other reporters he contacted, had ever heard of being asked to agree to such an arrangement and that he would not attend the event.
The story of the altercation broke Wednesday on Embargo Watch, a blog run by the executive editor of Reuters Health, Ivan Oransky. Oransky reached McCormick by phone and transcribed large sections of the interview, in which she reiterated the rationale described by Vance.
"I don't believe that Erik offered any return on investment for a gratis pass, and from my perspective he made the he made the mistake of using his association with press to get a gratis pass, and everything that's associated with that," she said. "And secondly, in return for that, he offered no coverage of the event, which is from my experience is what press passes are all about."
In an interview, Vance said that his reasons for wanting to attend the conference were twofold. First, he is profiling someone (he declined to be more specific) in the field of cetacean research for Discover magazine. That person was scheduled to speak at the meeting, but could not make it. Nonetheless, Vance was hoping to speak with some of the person's colleagues who would be there, and gather other background information for his piece. Vance has written for publications such as Nature, Scientific American, and The New York Times, and his second reason for wanting to attend was to hunt for other story leads.
In her e-mail to Vance and in her conversation with Oransky, McCormick acknowledged the dual purpose of Vance's wanting to attend, but said repeatedly that granting him a press pass for these reasons would not be "mutually beneficial." McCormick told Oransky that she was not insisting on positive coverage and doing so would be inappropriate. (Reached by phone of Thursday, McCormick requested that I submit a number of follow-up questions in writing, but failed to respond to further calls and e-mails inquiring about when I could expect a her to respond to the submitted questions.)
In an e-mail to Oransky, Vance said that McCormick "essentially said to me if I can't guarantee a positive story in the paper then I'm not getting a pass." In a follow-up interview, however, Vance clarified that statement, saying McCormick did not explicitly request positive coverage, but that he felt that was the implication. Indeed, it's not hard to see how he got that impression. Referring the press pass in her final e-mail to Vance, McCormick wrote, "It troubles me that you would feel entitled to such benefits without offering benefits to the host organization."
In retrospect, it seems fair to take McCormick at her word that the "benefit" she was requesting was simply coverage of the Cetacean Society's event, and that she was not trying to dictate the tone or tenor of Vance's story. Her language and phrasing displayed an extreme lack of tact, however, and reporters rightfully bristle at such demands. As Oransky noted in his post, "I probably don't have to say this, but quid pro quos aren't part of independent journalism. And scientific societies should know that."

Usually the week before the Super Bowl is an exercise in nonsense. There is little or no real news, so the media, bless its heart, does its best to manufacture some kind of controversy. Every statement by every coach and player, no matter how inane, is analyzed to a fare-thee-well. Little things are blown so far out of proportion that a bit of deflation — you knew that was coming, right? — is welcome.

It's not just Google in the driverless car business anymore. Toyota and Audi announced this week that they are moving closer to driverless cars. And Ford chairman Bill Ford Jr. has predicted the rise of semi-autonomous cars between 2017 and 2025 and fully-autonomous cars after 2025.
It's an exciting prospect to imagine cars driving themselves. But besides having this science fiction-like future where you could make a red-eye drive across the country, there are other promising benefits of driverless cars. A new infographic produced by InsuranceQuotes.com makes the case that cars that drive themselves will make drivers safer and make driving more efficient and have less of an impact on the environment.
But not everyone thinks driverless cars will bring a bright future, but instead one with more congestion, pollution, and, hey, don't we already have something where you can get someplace without driving? Oh yeah.
Still, the status quo for car safety isn't good. In the U.S. alone there are 30,000 automobile deaths each year. Put another way: More people die on U.S. roads in three months than have died in the decade-long war in Iraq and Afghanistan. If driverless cars can reduce that, they'll be worth it.

Saturday, June 29, 2013
Willem Gates, left, helps Ryan Davis into his little yellow number before the anticipated match between the Seattle Quake men's rugby football club versus the Seattle Breakers women's rugby team for the fourth annual Prom Dress Rugby exhibition match at Cal Anderson Park in the Capitol Hill neighborhood of Seattle, Saturday, June 29, 2013. The match coincides with Pride Weekend, and raises money for POCAAN (People of Color Against AIDS Network). Rather than full tackle, the teams plays a less-intense team tackle version of the game, and audience members are encouraged to donate money in exchange for calling plays and forcing wardrobe changes, where many sweaty dresses were exchanged.

This was on sale for 99 cents at Rite Aid so I had to try it. I ended up returning my MAC Powerpoint Liner in Stubborn Brown because I decided that it was crazy for me to spend $13 on an eyeliner. I bought this because it is a double ended pencil, and one side is brown. It glides on my lids without tugging at all and it stays put all day on me, even during the high heat and humidity. I really like this. Huge rave from me!!! :o)

Video: Mayhem Festival clips capture events before assault
This week's cover story, "Sucker Punch", explores the legal aftermath of an assault on a fan at the 2010 Mayhem Festival -- an incident that left a somewhat fragmentary record behind, thanks to concertgoers' penchant for uploading videos of Mayhem moshes and crowd rowdiness to YouTube. The clips don't capture the actual attack, but they do provide a front-row seat for events leading up to it -- what might be described as the opening act. Eric Swanson.
As recounted in our feature, James Christensen ended up with a broken nose and other injuries after being jumped by two men. But his assailants face radically different consequences from Arapahoe County's whimsical justice system.
Jeramie Gerhardt, whom Christensen identified as the "instigator" of the assault, pleaded to a reduced charge of felony menacing last month and is expected to serve ninety days in jail and four years on probation. (His sentencing is scheduled for June 14.) But his co-defendant, Eric Swanson, convicted of second-degree assault at trial, is facing up to 64 years in prison as a habitual criminal because of prior felonies -- all of them nonviolent, drug-related cases that occurred ten years ago or more. Read cover story
Swanson can't be seen in either of the videos below and claims that he got mixed up in the action at its final stage. But two of the friends who went with him to the concert, Gerhardt and Chad Buckner, are on prominent display. In the first clip below, that's Gerhardt making an appearance at about the 1:20 mark, making an obscene gesture at the camera. Twenty seconds later, that's Buckner in the plaid shorts shoving another patron and stripping off his shirt. Over the next minute or so, Buckner charges in on some other guys, downs one in a black shirt, gets pulled off him, then seeks out his sparring partner and embraces him.

Introduction to e-Business
Introduction to e-Business
It is widely acknowledged today that new technologies, in particular access to the Internet, tend to modify communication between the different players in the professional world, notably:
- relationships between the enterprise and its clients,
- the internal functioning of the enterprise, including enterprise-employee relationships,
- the relationship of the enterprise with its different partners and suppliers.
The term "e-Business" therefore refers to the integration, within the company, of tools based on information and communication technologies (generally referred to as business software) to improve their functioning in order to create value for the enterprise, its clients, and its partners.
E-Business no longer only applies to virtual companies (called click and mortar) all of whose activities are based on the Net, but also to traditional companies (called brick and mortar).
The term e-Commerce (also called Electronic commerce), which is frequently mixed up with the term e-Business, as a matter of fact, only covers one aspect of e-Business, i.e. the use of an electronic support for the commercial relationship between a company and individuals.
The purpose of this document is to present the different underlying "technologies" (in reality, organizational modes based on information and communication technologies) and their associated acronyms.
Creation of value
The goal of any e-Business project is to create value. Value can be created in different manners:
- As a result of an increase in margins, i.e. a reduction in production costs or an increase in profits. E-Business makes it possible to achieve this in a number of different ways:
- Positioning on new markets
- Increasing the quality of products or services
- Prospecting new clients
- Increasing customer loyalty
- Increasing the efficiency of internal functioning
- As a result of increased staff motivation. The transition from a traditional activity to an e-Business activity ideally makes it possible to motivate associates to the extent that:
- The overall strategy is more visible for the employees and favors a common culture
- The mode of functioning implies that the players assume responsibilities
- Teamwork favors improvement of competences
- As a result of customer satisfaction. As a matter of fact, e-Business favors:
- a drop in prices in connection with an increase in productivity
- improved listening to clients
- products and services that are suitable for the clients' needs
- a mode of functioning that is transparent for the user
- As a result of privileged relationships with the partners. The creation of communication channels with the suppliers permits:
- Increased familiarity with each other
- Increased responsiveness
- Improved anticipation capacities
- Sharing of resources that is beneficial for both parties
An e-Business project can therefore only work as soon as it adds value to the company, but also to its staff, its clients, and partners.
Time To Market
"Time To Market" is the time that is necessary to bring a product on the market from a time an idea was put forward. Worldwide, new technologies provide an incredible source of inspiration to formalize ideas while making Time-To-Market even more critical because of the rapid flow of information and speedy competition.
Reduction of costs and ROI
The use of new technologies for the functioning of an enterprise makes it possible to reduce the costs on the different levels of its organization in time.
Nonetheless, implementation of such a project is generally very costly and necessarily leads to organizational changes, which may cause upheaval in the practices of its employees. It is therefore essential to determine the return on investment (ROI) of such a project, i.e. the difference between the expected profits and the required overall investment, taking into account the cost of human resources mobilized.
Characterization of the e-Business
A company can be viewed as an entity providing products or services to clients with the support of products or services of partners in a constantly changing environment. The functioning of an enterprise can be roughly modeled in accordance with a set of interacting functions, which are commonly classified in three categories:
- Performance functions, which represent the core of its activity (core business), i.e. the production of goods or services. They pertain to activities of production, stock management, and purchasing (purchasing function);
- The management functions, which cover all strategic functions of management of the company; they cover general management of the company, the human resources (HR) management functions as well as the financial and accounting management functions;
- The support functions, which support the performance functions to ensure proper functioning of the enterprise. Support functions conver all activities related with sales (in certain cases, they are part of the core business) as well as all activities that are transversal to the organization, such as management of technological infrastructures (IT, Information Technology function).
Enterprises are generally characterized by the type of commercial relationships they maintain. Dedicated terms therefore exist to quality this type of relationship:
- B To B (Business To Business, sometimes written B2B) means a commercial relationship business to business based on the use of a numerical support for the exchange of information.
- B To C (Business To Consumer, sometimes wrritten B2C) means a relationship between a company and the public at large (individuals). This is called electronic commerce, whose definition is not limited to sales, but rather covers all possible exchanges between a company and its clients, from the request for an estimate to after-sales service;
- B To A (Business To Administration, sometimes written B2A) means a relationship between a company and the public sector (tax administration, etc.) based on numerical exchange mechanisms (teleprocedures, electronic forms, etc.).
Front Office/Back Office
The terms Front Office and Back Office are generally used to describe the parts of the company (or of its information system) that are dedicated, respectively, to the direct relationship with the client and proper management of the company.
The Front-Office (sometimes also called Front line) refers to the front part of the entrepriser that is visible to the clients.
In turn, Back Office refers to all parts of the information system to which the final user does not have access. The term therefore covers all internal processes within the enterprise (production, logistics, warehousing, sales, accounting, human resources management, etc.)
Presentation of the different concepts
Implementing an e-Business project necessarily involves the deployment of an enterprise network through which enterprise-specific services are accessible in client-server mode, generally via a web interface which can be queried by using a simple navigator.
Nonetheless, the implementation of computer tools is not sufficient. It is therefore believed that an enterprise only actually implements an e-Business project as soon as it implements a new organization based on new technologies.
The concept of e-Business is nonetheless very flexible and covers all possible uses of information and communication technologies (ICT) for any and all of the following activities:
- Making the relationships between the enterprise and its clients and different partners (suppliers, authorities, etc.) more efficient
- Developing new business opportunities
- Facilitating the internal flow of information
- Controlling the different processes of the enterprise (production, warehousing, purchasing, sales, human resources, etc.)
The goal is therefore to create privileged communication channels between the enterprise and its environment and link them with its internal processes to better control internal and external costs.
The goal of this document is to present the main market technologies, including:
- Intranet / Extranet
- Groupware;
- Management of business processes;
- e-Commerce;
- Enterprise portals;
- Enterprise application integration (EAI);
- Electronic data interchange (EDI);
- Client relationship management (CRM);
- Knowledge management (KM);
- Supply chain management (SCM);
- Integrated management software (IMS), also called ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning);
- Business Intelligence (BI).

Hey what gives with my tomato plant? I have deep watered it the last couple days because our weather has been high 90's. but today a couple of my plants looked like the photo...what is causing it do you think? Thanks (Hope the pic posts properly!) |
Follow-Up Postings:
Really looks like wilt from the heat. The plants should be ok. I'm in sacramento. Forecast 108 in a few days!! |
It doesnt look like you have any mulch around those plants. In that kind of heat, a 6-8" layer of mulch will help keep the roots cooler and keep your water from evaporating. |
I'd mulch heavily and water. Might consider some shade cloth to help them recover. Any chance the roots have been disturbed by a mole or something? |
I'm having the same problem on the coast! It's hot, but only the low 80's. They seem to recover so far at night, but it looks like tobacco drying! I'm using straw, but maybe I should make a thicker layer. Also, I'm keeping the straw about 6" from the base of the plant to prevent mold. I'm not sure if that gap is a problem or if it's really important. |
After few cloudy and cool days, when we got a warm sunny day, some younger leave on my EG was wilting. The other plans were ok. Normally I water early in the morning. But during HOT days I water after sun down, to cool off the roots and intake enough water to battle the next day's heat. In such conditions, a good thick layer of mulch can help a great deal, that act like thermal insulation. |

Well they sure did get rid of Edna quickly and I'm so glad that Mrs. Hughes helped Tom with that. It seems to me that it was sort of stupid to even bring her on. And she tried the same thing again and got a can tied to her ass for it LOL Let's hope that Tom and Mary do get together in the end. I think they are perfect for each other. It sure as hell didn't take any time for Gillingham to propose to Mary and I think they did that way to fast. But I was so glad that Mary didn't accept and hopefully this will be the last of him. The kiss didn't do much for Mary either. The bickering downstairs with Daisy, Alfred, Jimmy and Ivy is getting old real fast. Talk about school children tattling on each other. Get over it already. Really enjoyed Mrs. Hughes and Carson. They have such a good relationship and it was nice of her to give him a picture of his ex girlfriend. So the black band leader just had to step in and dance with Rose. She's going to take a shine to him I'm sure of it. And what is up with Edith's aunt reading her her beads because she came in at six in the morning. At least she finally got some from Michael. Anna. I feel so bad for that poor woman I can't see straight and I so want them to get this fixed and do it pronto. Poor Bates doesn't understand what's going on and neither does any one in the entire family. They can all tell that something is up and I think Mrs. Hughes is going to have to come clean and they are going to have to calm Bates down so he doesn't go off on the dude. I think they are doing this very well it's just heartbreaking because Anna and Bates are so lovable. Good show again this week.

well i was glad that mary turned gillingham down. i was worried she would accept his proposal and then i would have to give up on her and tom getting together. i was so glad tom went to mrs hughes about edna… mrs h is sooooo nice to everyone. and i was glad they got edna over a barrel.. but i dont think they are thru with her yet myself… i think she will turn up like a bad penny. and i am a little disgusted with anna. if she isnt going to buck up and tell mr bates what happened to her, she should get on with it and forget about it. i feel bad for her, but hate to see her wallowing in self pity… and with her moving back in to the abbey she is just putting more distance between her and him and that wont be good. poor alfred finding ivy swapping spit with that other guy.. daisy wanted him to see them together.. i hope alfred gets chosen to go to that cooking school. that would be so good for him. get him away from ivy anyway. i think edith is going to "shame" the whole family when they find out she spent the night with that guy… and i read somewhere that rose has an affair with the black singer in that band that saved her from that drunk… that should be very interesting. i loved violet too… when she asked her son why he was in his rompers just because he wasnt in a tux… so funny…. i love this show and hope it goes on and on forever…
Anna was raped. You have to remember that and even today women don't get over that easily, if at all. I think they are doing this perfectly.

The Rif Ramble - Walking in Northern Morocco
Morocco, Trek & Walk, 8 days - from $1,175 (land only)
Holiday Itinerary
Day 1: Rendezvous at the group hotel in Tangier. Complimentary airport transfers are provided for clients arriving on this day. KE Land Only services begin with airport transfers and overnight accommodation.
Day 2: Driving East out of Tangier we follow the Mediterranean coastal road to the ancient port of Ksar Sghir for the first of our short walks. Descending through a valley of pistachio and oak trees we arrive at the peaceful beach of L`marssa where we have time to swim or simply relax. Reboarding our private transport we head for the whitewashed medina of Tetouan with superb Rif Mountain views.
Day 3: Departing our accommodation on foot, we head into the lush natural park of Talassemtane passing through traditional villages, with splendid views of Akchour Gorge. Upon meeting our vehicle, our journey continues to Al-Hoceima National Park where we will stay for two nights.
Day 4: This morning we weave our way through picturesque gorges that lead us to the small bay of Taoussarte. With time to relax and take a swim, we may also see local fisherman going about their daily business before driving back to our accommodation.
Day 5: Today our walk heads for the the windmills and tower of Torres de Alcala where it is still possible to see the camel caravan trail that leads directly to Fes. In the afternoon we drive over the Tidihine Rif Mountain Pass (2445m) and descend into Talassemente National Park to our accommodation. Approx 3-4 hours walking.
Day 6: Walking through several less-visited villages, we wind our way up to a superb viewpoint of Chefchaouen. Said to be the prettiest town in Morocco, the picturesque powder-blue buildings combined with the charm of the medina makes for a great afternoon of exploration.
Day 7: Before arriving into the Atlantic port of Asilah, we enjoy a walk through Rif forests of cork and oak trees in search of the cheeky Magot Monkey. Known for its narrow whitewashed streets and fortified ramparts, Asilah has become an iconic Atlantic coastal stop. Continuing Northwards we return to Tangier for our final night.
Day 8: KE Land Only services end after breakfast. Complimentary airport transfers are provided for clients departing on this day.

With one more week of playoff NFL football to go until we see which two teams will be representing in this year's Super Bowl, it's never too early to get a kick start on the 2014 Fantasy Football season. We've already seen which quarterbacks Phil thinks will rise to the occasion next season. Now lets take a look at 5 running backs I think can easily outproduce their 2013 numbers.
1. Montee Ball – Broncos
Coming off a 10 carry/52 yard performance against the Chargers Sunday, Ball is my top running back who should have a shot at a breakout year in 2014. Ball didn't do as well as many dynasty and redraft owners had hoped because it turns out Knowshon Moreno can actually play football. Who would have thought after all those disappointing seasons. But with free agency looming for Moreno this offseason, the Broncos could opt to let him walk and hand the starting reigns to Ball next season. Ball averaged a very solid 4.7 yards per carry average and was the favorite near the goal line. He also proved a capable receiver, catching 20 passes and averaging a little over 7 yards per catch. Ball does come with some downside. He still has to work on his pass protection, although he has gotten better. He also has to keep his fumbling issues to a minimum after losing 3 this year. I'll admit that Ball's status is still up-in-the-air due to Moreno's team status. However, there is enough upside that Ball should top his 34.9 rushing yards per game average.
2. Giovani Bernard – Bengals
It's pretty close between Bernard and Ball in regards to who deserve the No. 1 spot as a breakout candidate next season, but Bernard's size is a factor. At 5/8, 202 pounds, do the Bengals view Bernard as an every-down back? He never topped more than 15 carries in more than one game, but his pass-catching abilities set him apart from Benjarvus Green-Ellis. The good news is former OC Jay Gruden is heading to Washington as the Redskins' next head coach. New OC Hue Jackson could take a shot and easily give Bernard a better chance at supplanting BGE for the starting job. At the very least, Bernard will have a much bigger role in 2014. One also has to take into account that Law Firm is due $2.3 million, which is a lot for a player who is in a part time role. And for a player who loses snaps once the team falls behind due to his inability in the passing game. Could the Bengals cut bait and let Green-Ellis go? That's a possibility. Bernard is a rare talent and is around the same size as players like Ray Rice and Maurice Jones-Drew. Bernard could turn heads if he can pack on more muscle this spring. While his 4.1 ypc average wasn't outstanding, it wasn't bad for a kid his size. Bernard's receiving abilities speak for itself. Adding more muscle will only make him stronger between the tackles. While his status, like Ball's, is questionable, there is simply too much upside not to list Bernard as another possible breakout star.
3. Shane Vereen – Patriots
Even though Vereen already has a big role in the New England offense, he has yet to have that one solid year due to Stevan Ridley sharing the ball. Now that Ridley is coming off the bench behind, of all players, LeGarrette Blount, the Patriots could and should lean on Vereen more in the running game next year. He's already one of the team's best receivers. He's also increased his yards-per-carry average from 3.8 in 2011 to 4.7 in 2013. The downside to Vereen is Bill Belichick, who has yet to show a willingness to give one running back the ball and roll with him for an entire season. Blount is a free agent and it's hard to see the Pats bringing him back despite his rebirth in the playoffs. He could leave and hope another team gives him one more shot as a possible starter. Ridley will stay as he's only due a little over $700,000 in the last year of his contract. He won't be signing a new deal anytime soon and there was talk he won't be handed back the starting job next year either. Not after his doghouse season. This leaves Vereen as the only true running back left with any real value. Will that translate to the starting job in 2014? Probably not, but it should. Vereen has done enough that he deserves at least 15 carries a game, if not more. Figure that in with his receptions and Vereen should be on the RB2 radar in PPR leagues.
4. Zac Stacy – Rams
After letting Steven Jackson go after the 2012 season, the Rams had a mish mash of undersized guys on their roster like Daryl Richardson, Isaiah Pead and Benny Cunningham. It wasn't until Jeff Fisher decided to roll the dice and go with the rookie Stacy before he realized he finally had his starting running back of the future. Once named the starter in Week 5, Stacy ran 250 times, totaled 973 rushing yards and 7 rushing scores. His 4 100+ yard games was also an eye opener. Stacy could have easily been a bigger force in the backfield hadn't it been for a passing game that was simply woeful, thus allowing defenses to stack the box. Even the addition of TE Jared Cook did nothing. Stacy won't be a stud in PPR leagues after amassing a mere 26 catches, but he will be on the radar as an RB2 in all league formats in 2014 because of the Adrian-Peterson type carries he will get every week. If the Rams can make upgrades to their offensive line and passing game (They ranked 27th in the league, averaging 195.3 yards a game through the air), Stacy will surpass his first 1000-yard rushing season in 2014.
5. Andre Ellington – Cardinals
Who knows just how well Ellington could have done this past year if it wasn't for Bruce Arians' loyalty to retread Rashard Mendenhall. The Cardinals still fielded one of the worst offensive line in the league, which made Ellington's 5.5 ypc average even more baffling. He also did major damage through the air, catching 36 passes and averaging 24.7 receiving yards a game. In total, Ellington averaged close to 70 all-purpose yards per game WHILE in a timeshare, adding 4 all-purpose touchdowns. The good news for Ellington is Mendenhall is set to be a free agent. I'd be shocked if he was welcomed back. Not after averaging a paltry 3.2 yards per carry. This output was his lowest since his 2008 rookie year. Ellington plans to "put on a little more weight" this offseason in hopes of a larger 2014 role. That larger role should turn into the starting job, unless the team drafts a running back high or makes a splash in free agency. Ellington doesn't have the upside as his predecessors, but a quiet offseason could change that by the summer time.

And you also need a big-time machine to experience battles in all their glory. Conflicts in Medieval II are so massive that you should have a top of the line Pentium IV or equivalent AMD CPU with a couple of gigs of RAM and a 7800-class video card. Anything less and you need to turn down visual settings, which leads to some ugly jaggies and jittery frame rates.
But don't consider the tech demands as a reason to avoid Medieval II; think of them as a reason to upgrade your computer. Since this is one of the best strategy games of the year, and arguably one of the best ever, you won't regret shelling out the moolah.

According to the video, she scored 35 touchdowns on 232 carries, totaling 1,911 yards and averaging 8.2 yards per carry. She also added 65 tackles, just for good measure.
Awesome! I was also great at football when I was 9 years old; girls make great wide receivers.
It's sad that she'll be great until the boys hit puberty and get bigger than her. Then she'll have to quite doing what she likes for safety reasons.
