Every once in a while I get the opportunity to completely immerse myself in one of my client's problems. This time, it was at an IT strategy offsite where a senior director of IT asked me one simple question: "How can we use information technology to help our company open up new streams of revenue?" I found the question refreshing, mainly because nine out of ten CIOs I talk to these days ask the opposite: "how can IT reduce costs?"
Fortunately for me, this client had invited lots of smart people from business and IT and outside experts into the room for two days to explore the revenue question. Challenges familiar to most life sciences companies got folks in the room in the first place: patent expiration foretold eroding profit margins for their blockbuster drugs, and expansion into emerging markets was an avenue for growth, yet one fraught with complexity and uncertain returns.
So this group's charter was to think digital.
Taking inspiration from morning TED talks, four working teams presented ideas for revenue opportunities created by emerging technologies in tech markets like mobile, big data, security, and consumer experiences. The teams cited creative ideas — like algorithms that use public data sources to reduce production forecast variance and improve distribution allocations; modern IT security models, pioneered in financial services, that would enable them to cut the time it takes to on-ramp a new manufacturing partner from months to weeks; company-owned data that could be sold or licensed and made available through public APIs to third parties; and many more.
The teams shared inspiring ideas that were big enough and bold enough to at least warrant further investigation.

I recently recorded a SaaS-related on-demand webinar with Patrick Bolger of Hornbill and as with my recent blog on service catalog with ServiceNow it seemed an easy opportunity to turn some of my slides into a quick-and-dirty blog (aren't they all?).
Much has been said about the benefits of "SaaS for IT service management (ITSM)" …
For many organizations, the key benefit of SaaS is its simple, subscription-based pricing model that provides a lower and consistent level of expenditure which is Opex rather than a Capex investment – highly suited to those organizations wishing to invest limited Capex into business innovation projects rather than into IT. I deliberately haven't stated that SaaS is cheaper as "it depends" ... Many tools have a "breakeven point" in the three to four year timeframe where SaaS becomes more expensive to customers than on-premises.
This simplicity of pricing can also be viewed from a value-for-money perspective, in that a per-seat subscription will usually cover access to capabilities across multiple ITIL (or ITSM) processes rather than the traditional need for organizations to buy multiple licenses across multiple ITSM products (or modules), giving an organization the freedom to increase its ITSM maturity without extra cost (unless additional people need access to the solution).

Last week, following on President Obama's memorandum on managing government records, the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) and the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) issued a records management (RM) directive. The directive affects all US government executive departments and agencies and applies to all federal records.
This significant effort to reform RM policies and practices includes a focus on digital government with a requirement to eliminate paper and use electronic recordkeeping where feasible, manage both permanent and temporary email records electronically, and take steps to demonstrate compliance with federal RM statutes and regulations such as designating a senior official to oversee RM programs and proving appropriate training.
The directive also identifies specific actions that will be taken by NARA and other agencies to support federal government records management programs. Critically, these include revised guidance for transferring permanent electronic records; email guidance; research into automated management of email, social media, and other types of digital record content; and embedding RM needs into cloud architectures. Further, it calls for investigating secure cloud-based service options to store and manage unclassified electronic records, and a series of steps to promote partnerships and better serve agencies.

It should come as no surprise that websites thrive on traffic. So naturally, it follows that driving traffic to your site is a strong motivation for any company looking to grow their web presence. However ironically, driving traffic to your site can also be a double-edged sword if your infrastructure is not properly prepared to handle the load. This means that, strangely, popularity can actually become a potential cause of an outage.
Yesterday, popular Internet forum and message board Reddit discovered this firsthand.In an interesting campaign move, President Barack Obama graced the site with his presence by doing an "Ask Me Anything" (AMA) thread, a message thread in which commenters submit questions and the original poster responds. Word about this rare opportunity to send the President of the United States a direct message spread across social media like a wildfire, leading to a massive spike in traffic that ultimately brought down Reddit a mere few minutes into the life of the thread. Current figures show that their number of unique connections and pageviews both more than tripled compared to their typical traffic. Eventually the site came back online and the AMA progressed as usual.

In a recent blog post that I wrote right before the Agile 2012 conference in Dallas, I expressed my hope that the conference sessions would be full of specifics, not generalities. No, thank you, I don't need another presentation explaining what test-driven development is. I'd like to hear someone talk about how they did test-driven development in a large project, or how they made it a standard practice across projects, or whether anyone has had success with it when working with outsourcing partners.
The presentations at this year's conference were a mixed bag, consisting of the following:

I love nothing more than a good debate, so when I read George Colony's recent blog post "Enterprise Architects For Dummies (CEOs)" and then read the comments from infuriated architects I just had to chime in and post a comment. My EA colleagues were the first to enter the fray, with Brian Hopkins posting a reply to many comments on his own post "It Doesn't Matter Where EA Lives - So Let's Stop Arguing About It."
What's interesting is that the most comments centered not on whether George was right in highlighting the importance of the EA role, but on whether EA should be seen as an IT role at all. And what is fascinating to me is that some folks believe EA should report to the CEO. The thinking goes that the CIO is too techie, and the EA role is much broader than IT because it involves business process and even org design. This seems to ignore the fact that George actually wrote, "Techies invariably screw up the business; business guys screw up the tech. For years (actually, decades) we've looked for someone to span both -- and that's what Enterprise Architects do."

I'm thrilled to see "people" talked about as a major focus of business. Company executives recognize that people are critical to sustainable organizational growth. Talent is now a C-level priority. People development is a responsibility of all managers and leaders, not just the HR department. Great to hear! Vendors see talent management as a hot space and are strategically lining up to meet business needs — enter IBM!

The Distributed Management Task Force (DMTF) is best known in the cloud standards world for its Open Virtualization Format (OVF) specification that's been highly adopted by cloud vendors today and is considered the first and only true standard in the IaaS space. But as of late, the focus has been solving the interoperability challenges in the cloud space. In July 2010, after releasing a series of white papers, the DMTF Open Cloud Standards Incubator group transitioned into the Cloud Management Working Group (CMWG) and has been working on interoperability standards ever since. For the past year, the main focus has been the Cloud Infrastructure Management Interface (CIMI) specification for a self-service portal that would enable easy interoperability between solutions. And today the DMTF CMWG released CIMI v1.0.

ASUS Looking to Launch S101 rather than Eee

It looks like even ASUS might be getting tired of the Eee name. The company is apparently going to be launching a new notebook known as the S101 rather than be known as a $900 Eee PC. More than likely ASUS simply realized that selling a $900 Eee PC defeated the purpose of the Eee PC to begin with.

$5000? Seriously?
Subject: Mobile | July 18, 2008 - 11:57 AM | Jeremy Hellstrom
It is hard to place all of the blame on Alienware or on Dell who bought them, but the high powered gaming laptop seems to be going extinct very quickly. Even with the high end components in the Area-51 m15x, it can't keep up with a desktop system of less than half the price. Trying to display 1920x1200 on a 15.4" screen is a bad idea, there is no way to keep the components reasonably cool, and don't even think of using the battery, it will be flat in half an hour. ThinkComputers recently reviewed model was a bit less expensive, though still prohibitive.

Miller Park (Omaha, Nebraska)
The Miller Park neighborhood in North Omaha, Nebraska is a historically significant community housing a historic district and several notable historic places. It is located between Sorenson Parkway on the south and Redick Avenue on the north, Florence Boulevard on the east and 30th Street on the west. The Minne Lusa neighborhood borders on the north, and the Saratoga neighborhood is on the south. Fort Omaha borders the neighborhood on the west. Miller Park is the namesake park in the neighborhood, as well as the Miller Park Elementary School.
Miller Park is named for Dr. George L. Miller, a founding father of the city of Omaha. He was the first physician in Omaha, and later in life, a major landowner throughout the city, including all of the area comprising the neighborhood today.[1] Miller was also the first president of the City of Omaha Board of Park Commissioners.
Once considered a possible location for the Trans-Mississippi Exposition of 1898.[2] It was a running consideration for the Expo because of its accessibility via the Florence Boulevard, a north-south thoroughfare once regarded as "The Prettiest Mile" because it captured the best views of the Missouri River valley, and because of the wide-open fields the area offered.[3] After losing out to Kountze Park to the south because of its distance from the city, the Miller Park neighborhood rebounded, quickly developing with upper-middle-class homes surrounding the perimeter of the park.[4]
Omaha State Senator Lowen Kruse is a past president of the Miller Park-Minne Lusa Neighborhood Association.[5]
Miller Park was established in 1891 after George Miller failed to locate the Trans-Mississippi Exposition there two years before. He convinced the city of Omaha to build Omaha's Prettiest Mile Boulevard to the park the following year, which later became known as Florence Boulevard.
Fort Omaha[edit]
The Miller Park neighborhood is home to the Fort Omaha Historic District. Inside the Fort there are dozens of historical buildings, with the Guard House designated by the City of Omaha as an Omaha Landmark, and the General Crook House listed independently on the National Register of Historic Places.

Happy Thanksgiving! Hopefully today you are enjoying good food and good company (and copious amounts of both). Even if you're not in the United States, we hope you are eating well and enjoying the company the others!
Doing GMAT math may not be your ideal way to pass the time on a holiday, but if you're reading this, then maybe it is your idea of fun! So, without further ado, let's carve up the following GMAT like a Thanksgiving turkey:
In the well-known Thanksgiving equation below, M = the number of minutes after dinner until a person falls asleep, t = the ounces of turkey consumed by that person, s = the ounces of stuffing consumed by that person, c = the number of cocktails consumed by that person, v = the ounces of total vegetables consumed by that person, and K is a constant. Last year, Aunt Jane fell asleep exactly 17 minutes after dinner and she consumed 8 ounces of turkey, 6 ounces of stuffing, 5 cocktails, and 10 ounces of vegetables. This year Lauren is planning on eating 10 ounces of turkey, 6 ounces of stuffing, and 14 ounces of vegetables, while drinking 7 cocktails.
The equation is as follows:
If Lauren sticks to her plan, how many minutes after dinner will Lauren fall asleep?
(E) It cannot be determined from the information given
Check back tomorrow for our GMAT Tip of the Week, in which we'll show you how to quickly and elegantly solve math-heavy problems like this. In the meantime, have a safe and fun Thanksgiving!
Are you getting ready to take the GMAT soon? Veritas Prep has online GMAT courses starting all the time. And, be sure to find us on Facebook and Google+, and follow us on Twitter!

Syrian daily condemns Istanbul double explosions as '\'acts of terrorism'\'

An official Syrian daily condemned on Sunday the double bomb explosions on synagogues in Istanbul, which it described as acts of terrorism.
"The bloody attack against two synagogues in Istanbul is an act of terrorism which no wise person can accept and which can only be condemned and denounced," At-Thawra wrote in its editorial.
"This act of terrorism is unacceptable because it is totally different to acts of resistance. On the contrary it helps support those who refuse to make a difference between resistance and terrorism," it added. (Albawaba.com)

Moms know best, White House says
With three weeks to go before the March 31 health insurance enrollment deadline, the White House is picking up the pace -- this week spotlighting women and moms with "Moms Know Best" week.
Women and moms often make the health care decisions for their families and the White House says they benefit directly from the Affordable Care Act, including a provision that women can't be charged more for health care because they're women.
The week-long enrollment push will include online engagement, local events, and media efforts focused on highlighting the role women and moms playing in health care, the White House says.
And it's looking to moms to help boost enrollment numbers by persuading their children to sign up.
"We're calling on moms to reach out to their adult children, get them off the couch and on the computer to enroll, make sure that they have quality, affordable health insurance," White House Press Secretary Jay Carney said. "There are a lot of young folks, because they are young and healthy, today, think they're invincible and are not fully aware of the need to have quality, affordable health insurance."
The outreach efforts include President Obama's interview with WebMD, which has a majority of women visitors to its site.
First Lady Michelle Obama on Tuesday will join an organizing call to thank volunteers and door to door canvassers from organizations who are working to enroll the uninsured, with a strong focus on reaching women. The organizations are working in more than 12 states including Texas, Ohio and Florida, and have knocked on more than 1 million doors and had conversations with over 500,000 people.
Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius today will participate in a press conference at the Women's Health Center in Atlanta with elected officials, African American leaders and small business owners to highlight local enrollment efforts, and will meet with a female small business owner from the community.
She'll hold a conference call with women's bloggers on Wednesday on the importance of enrolling by the March 31 deadline. Also on Wednesday, White House Senior Advisor Valerie Jarrett will participate in a Google+ Hangout with Cosmo for Latinas to inform and encourage young Latinas to sign up for health care.

I swear, the 76ers are going to hire a coach. It feels like we're all waiting for Godot but in this case somebody will show up. (If I just spoiled Beckett's play for you… it's 60 years old, I'm not calling out "spoiler alert" on that.)
And the person that could show up in Philadelphia may be Brett Brown, the Spurs assistant.
That according to a tweet from Keith Pompey of the Philadelphia Inquirer.
Following our theme of waiting for someone, Brown interviewed for the Sixers job back in June. But Sixers GM Sam Hinkie has been diligent. Some would say slow (hello Charles Barkley!), but since Hinkie just got the job and should get a couple breaks to start, I'll go with diligent.
Brown is set to be Gregg Popovich's lead assistant in San Antonio now that the guy in that chair for a long time, Mike Budenholzer, moved on to coach the Hawks. But he could bolt for another job, he interviewed with the Nuggets as well before then went with Brian Shaw, and Brown has been discussed for other open jobs.
The Sixers also have interviewed David Vanterpool, Quin Snyder, Kenny Atkinson, David Fizdale and Jay Larranaga, that we know of. And probably Godot.

I think it would be totally acceptable to just wait until the first day of camp, and then just have one of the player's dads come down and coach. Get a hot team mom to give out juice boxes after practice.

By the time this team is ready to make a decision Doug Collins will be ready to make another comeback. Maybe they should just wait for him at the rate they are going. No matter who they land as coach, the Andrew Bynum fiasco has set this franchise back by at least 3 years.

Q. I want to become more green and my children are all for it. From what I have read, using a solar water heater makes the most sense. I don't have much money for one. How can we build a simple one ourselves?
A. Solar water heating makes the most economic sense for almost every region of our country because hot water is used year-round. This is in contrast to solar space heating which is used for only about six months each year and its maximum output is needed when the daylight is shortest.
Since your budget is very limited and your children want to help, building a simple batch-type solar water heater is your best option. It is not as effective as an elaborate active solar system, but it does not cost thousands of dollars either. Depending on the scrap materials you can find, you should be able to build a batch system for less than $200 and the savings will payback its cost in a couple of years.
The hot water heating energy savings you can expect to realize depend upon the specific design and your climate. During the summer, a 50 percent savings is reasonable, as is a 25 percent savings during fall and spring. In many areas of the country, it is best to bypass the solar heater during winter to avoid freezing and possible damage to the heater or plumbing.
A batch solar water heater is used as a preheater for the incoming cold water before it reaches your standard water heater. If the water is warmer, it takes less gas or electricity to heat the water to the regular hot water temperature (120 degrees is best). On a hot, sunny, summer afternoon, the solar heater can warm water enough that the water heater stays off all day.
The most common design of batch solar water heater uses a water tank inside of an insulated box with a clear top. Special solar water heating tanks can be purchased, but first contact plumbers to find one or two old discarded water heaters which do not leak. Strip off the sheet metal skin and insulation to expose the steel tank. It will already have the plumbing fittings.
The water heater tank should be painted flat black. Special solar paints, which are formulated to absorb more solar heat, are also available at a reasonable cost. Use an old glass storm door or buy a sheet of clear acrylic plastic for the top. For the greatest year-round solar gain, slope the clear top at an angle equal to your latitude angle. Run the hot water outlet pipe from the tank through the back or side of the box and then down near the ground into your house to the water heater. Run another incoming cold water pipe from the water heater to the solar heater. Insulate them very well. Install a crossover pipe and two valves to bypass the solar water heater during winter.Q. I have small electric space heater. It has a thermostat on it, but it is very inaccurate. Is there any way to improve that thermostat or can I add another better thermostat to the space heater?
A. Many of the small electric space heaters have thermostats with just a low-to-high indicator. One method is to try various settings to find the temperature you want and then mark that setting on the thermostat dial.Another option is to install a line-voltage thermostat just for the wall outlet where you plug in the heater. These thermostats are often used for standard baseboard electric heating and they are very accurate.

Blackboard: New Student-centric Release
Blackboard: New Student-centric Release
Written By:
Raluca Druta
April 25 2013
Blackboard Inc. announced a
new release of its learning management system (LMS)
. New functionality focuses on student retention and outcomes.
The release introduces Retention Center, an embedded feature that unveils student performance and engagement. Instructors can recognize risk factors such as missed deadlines and poor grades. Consequently, professors may identify those students that need extra help to improve their performance. Furthermore, instructors have the option to define risk factors on top of the pre-loaded ones.
Other updates include:
Inline Assignment Grading:
Instructors can view, edit, and grade assignments without having to download or upload files. These tasks can be performed from within the LMS.
Updated Calendar:
Users are able to drag and drop due dates and appointments. Also items can be exported and synchronized into other calendars like Google and Microsoft Outlook.
Improved Discussion boards:
With a new social learning feature, "Post First," students have to provide a written post before being able to see what other colleagues posted.
Improved features for assistive technologies:
Students with special needs can access course content with the help of improved navigation for sighted keyboard-only users and those that use screen readers.
Today's expectations from students and educators are reflecting a clear interest in using social technologies and analytics to help underperformers as well as to encourage free and critical thinking. Moreover, the increasing demand for online courses—and higher education being dominated and held to a standard set by Harvard—is pushing LMS vendors to improve their virtual learning environments.

The Yankee Clipper: Joe DiMaggio
Harvey Frommer on Sports
Remembering Dom DiMaggio
Sicilian immigrants Giuseppe -- the fisherman -- and
I was probably the last one to interview him.
He is my 130th voice
for the opus I am working on - - REMEMBERING FENWAY PARK: AN ORAL AND NARRATIVE
HISTORY, slated for 2010 publication.
The man they dubbed the "Little Professor" because of his spectacles
and 5-foot-9, 168-pound frame was a hell of a ballplayer even though he played
in the gigantic shadows of Ted Williams and brother Joseph. He hit in 34
straight games in 1949, a streak snapped when big brother Joe snared a sinking
line drive in a 6-3 Red Sox win over the Yankees.
I reached Dominic Paul DiMaggio on the phone not too long after he
passed his 92nd birthday.
How much time do you need? he
Thirty minutes.
Too much. How about five
We settled on 20 minutes, and I was told to talk louder throughout.
What follows are some of the more moving and interesting aspects of the oral
history that should make their way into the book. The words reveal a confident
and intelligent man, who had a little tartness to
DOM DIMAGGIO: The first time I walked into Fenway Park was April
1940 before the season started, and there was ice on the field. It was a
bit of a shock for me having been in California all my
life. I was wondering how we were going to start on
time. I do believe we did.
The weather wasnt that bad. But there were cold
days. I loved Fenway Park because
it was cozy. Playing baseball there was a pleasure and a joy. It was close
to the public and the whole thing was a perfect picture in my mind.
The atmosphere was increased when the Red Sox and Yankees
played and you could feel that and so I enjoyed playing against New
In 1941, when my brother
Joe had the hitting streak going, Ted would be talking to the guy in the
scoreboard and the guy would keep him posted when Joe got a hit. You
couldnt do that at any other
There were times at
Fenway when Joe would be coming in from centerfield and I would be coming
out. I said very little to him
on those occasions. What the
hell was I going to do, stop in centerfield and have a
Sam Mele wasnt
a bad outfielder. Ted Williams
wasnt a bad outfielder either especially at Fenway Park - he played
that wall nicely.
I enjoyed a challenge
and Fenway Park did offer a challenge because of its structure and that was
something but other than that it was a pleasure to play in. Having played
there so often for so many years and so many games I felt I mastered the
ballpark and got along beautifully with the fences. They didnt hurt
me and I didnt hurt them.
I did not shoot for
the Green Monster.
No. I was an all-around hitter, a line-drive hitter, a damn
good one too. I loved to hit
in Fenway.

Thousands of priests from around the world have massed in Rome in one of the largest such gatherings ever in a major show of support for Pope Benedict XVI amid the clerical abuse scandal.
Benedict is expected to address them Thursday evening in an eagerly anticipated vigil service in St. Peter's Square. It's not know whether Benedict will refer to the crisis, but his No. 2 told the prelates Wednesday that the scandal had pained and damaged the church and shown the need for a spiritual rebirth.
An estimated 9,000 priests are in Rome to celebrate the end of the church's year of the priest — a year that has been marred by revelations of hundreds of new cases of clerical abuse and Vatican inaction to stop it.
In addressing priests Wednesday, the Vatican No. 2, Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone, said the revelations had harmed the credibility of the church. But he said they had also provided a "providential realization" of the need for a "new season of spiritual renewal and rebirth."
There is some speculation that Benedict may again refer to the scandal, following his recent comments en route to Portugal during which he acknowledged that it was born of the "sin within the church" and not from outside elements. Previously Vatican officials, Vatican publications and cardinals had blamed the scandal on the media, the Masons and anti-Catholic lobbies, among others.
On Wednesday, during his weekly general audience, Benedict urged prayers for the priests gathered for the event, which has taken on something of the feel of a rally in support of the pontiff amid the scandal.

WHD 516-Pro Electronic Drum Kit with Mesh Snare
Product Ref: 19267
WHD 516-Pro Electronic Drum Kit with Mesh Snare
DetailsThe WHD 516-Pro's professional features, mesh snare head, credible sounds and mark resistant, velocity sensitive, dual zone white pads set it apart as a high value electronic drum kit. 400 Credible drum sounds are augmented by USB connectivity, and a variety of inputs and outputs offer the player near total control and flexibility with their drumming.
Full Description
View Full DescriptionNatural and Responsive Feel
Coming as standard with a quiet and responsive mesh snare pad, 3 toms, hi-hat and cymbals, the WHD 516 looks and feels like a standard acoustic kit, but with the extra bonus of being able to change sounds at the push of a button. A dual trigger, velocity sensitive snare and velocity sensitive tom pads ensure a more realistic rim and head triggering, and the cymbals have a choke feature. The hi-hat pedal has a half open feature, giving a more realistic sound, and getting it even closer to an acoustic kit; simple yet highly effective.
Realistic Acoustic Drum Sounds
This electronic drum kit boasts an impressive 400 individual drum, cymbal and percussion sounds, which have been carefully arranged into 29 preset kits, with the ability to change the individual sounds and volumes and store these to 16 user kits. Each sound has been carefully sampled and reacts accurately to how hard you strike the pad, just like an acoustic kit. As well as having control over the sounds used in the kit, you can change the individual volumes quickly and easily giving you further scope for creativity.
Perfect Your Technique
The 80 preset songs have been selected to give a wide range of fun and informative tracks for play along. Perfect for practice, the drum track can be removed so you can take this role yourself. An inbuilt metronome helps you keep time whilst the LCD display lets you know if you play too fast or too slow.
The intuitive learning mode includes a set of exercises designed to help build speed, accuracy and stamina - three of the most useful attributes for an aspiring drummer.
Connectivity and Adaptability
The WHD 516 has been developed to offer a range of connectivity options. The aux in allows you to connect an mp3 or CD player which is great for learning new songs. Play silently using headphones or use the output to connect an amplifier or PA system if you like it loud! The WHD 516 also boasts MIDI and USB capability.
If you want to add to your kit the WHD has additional ports for another tom or crash so there's no need to purchase a whole new kit - the 516 can progress as you do.
Stand Out From The Crowd
The WHD 516 comprises a silver metal rack and stylish white drum pads. As well as showing less wear and tear they are also ideal for anyone gigging or playing in low light conditions as they are more easily seen than the conventional black pads. This kit also features a mesh snare head, giving a realistic feel to your snare hits. If you have limited space, need silent practice options or are simply looking for modern digital functionality the WHD 516 Pro offers a distinctive electronic kit, which sounds and feels like an acoustic kit, at an exceptional price.
If you're just starting out or are simply looking for a more complete set up, this kit is available in a package with sticks, drum throne and headphones - WHD 16-Pro Package Deal.Alternatively if you're after some extra volume, the 516 also comes in a package with an additional amplifier - WHD 16-Pro Amp Pack.
Music Radar described this kit as "terrific value", giving it 4 out of 5 stars in their review - Read the full review here.

After saying the Bruins were "in over our heads," prior to the start of the Eastern Conference finals, Brad Marchand is once again taking the humble approach heading into Game 4 vs. Pittsburgh.
"We're very, very lucky right now," Marchand told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. "A few of those games could have gone the other way if a few of their plays would have connected.
"Last game, they deserved to win, but we got a little lucky."
Marchand does have a point. The Bruins were out-shot 54-40 in Game 3 and gave Pittsburgh six power play opportunities, but some quality goaltending from Tuukka Rask and a few hit posts limited the Pens to just one goal.
But in the overall series landscape, it's not accurate to say the Bruins were the benefactors of great luck.
Sure, some bounces went their way, but those bounces don't account for badly outscoring the Penguins (9-1) or outshooting them (59-56) in their own barn, where they were 5-1 heading into the conference finals.
Based on overall play and capitalizing on opportunities, Boston is full value for the commanding lead.
Regardless, Marchand insisted that — heading into this series — the Bruins never even entertained the idea of winning the first three games of the series.
"It's not something you ever think is going to happen, especially against a team like Pittsburgh," he said.
"We're definitely happy with where we're at, but we never thought it would happen."

They should show this to rookies coming in the league. Play a big game, don't talk one.
- runtheball - Jun 7, 2013 at 4:40 PM
Tip of the hat to Marchand. Not as doucey as he looks.

I wish someone would pop that weasel right square in the face.
- einjzmolf - Jun 7, 2013 at 4:54 PM
Ol' Cooker tried. Marchand decided scoring a beautiful goal to help his team win was more important. Sucks to suck.
- mgp1219 - Jun 7, 2013 at 4:56 PM
You must think the article is about Crosby. Try having someone read to you..
- dropthepuckeh - Jun 7, 2013 at 5:31 PM
Coming from a team of weasels I wonder if you are trying to pay him a compliment. Careful what you wish for, your captain has a strong a resemblance to a certain rodent while also having a delicate jaw…..
- betrayedbylife - Jun 7, 2013 at 5:32 PM
ptpenguinsrulez, they don't teach you how to read in PA do they?
fans can't read a couple sentences in order to see marchand is complimenting their favorite team and the penguins can't read a play in order to win a game.
- 8man - Jun 7, 2013 at 6:23 PM
We call him the Rat. Because he can fit into any situation, has a mean streak, can take your lunch, and just pisses you off.
If someone does pop him "right square in the face", they may get a little more than they want. Maybe that's why more people don't.

I commented yesterday how lucky the Bruins are…. Just sayin
- bleedrangerblue - Jun 7, 2013 at 5:33 PM
@runtheball. No he's still an idiot. Period
- s2mikey - Jun 7, 2013 at 5:38 PM
He's actually fairly accurate in his assessment. Game two was all bruins but games one and especially game three saw the pens basically outplay and outshoot the bruins only to get the short end of the deal. It is what it is. No going back so the pens have to get some breaks or they are done. I don't think Boston can handle Chicago but well see.
- beantownfanatic2012 - Jun 7, 2013 at 5:45 PM
If Boston can sweep Pittsburgh, they sure as hell can handle the Blackhawks! That I am confident in!! I never thought the Bs would be going for a sweep especially against the Pens but here we are and if they do, I'm fully confident that the Bs can beat Chicago. I'd fear Pittsburgh more than Chicago. Chicago almost lost but pulled there heads out of their asses and won where as Boston since game 7 against Toronto seems to be unstoppable!! Go Bs
- 8man - Jun 7, 2013 at 6:21 PM
Slow down son. One game at a time. It;s a good situation, but last I checked the Bruins were still playing the Penguins and the Hawks were still playing the Kings. Nothing. I, mean nothing, has been determined yet.
- tripps3 - Jun 7, 2013 at 6:17 PM
Glad you are so confident Beantown – how about you start by winning tonight's game first
- lordstanley65 - Jun 7, 2013 at 11:22 PM
- c1md6 - Jun 7, 2013 at 6:25 PM
What happened to the, "killer instinct" Marchand against the Rangers? I like that Marchand better haha.
- papajack1259 - Jun 7, 2013 at 6:27 PM
Can we all agree that Lady Luck is the Unnoticed 6th man on any "Championship" team?
And it ain't over till it's over, strange the way things go, no one saw this coming, and I am sorry but the penguin fans still do not see it…..been in your seat…….
- 8man - Jun 7, 2013 at 7:08 PM
Great point. The Bruins, to this point, have had their blessings. But they have worked hard and not relented, which has allowed them to take full advantage of that Providence.
- valoisjoeybfeld69 - Jun 7, 2013 at 6:52 PM
Brad "slew foot" Marchand has been very good, as all the B's have. So, it's not so much about luck than it is about executing a game plan. Give credit to the whole team for playing within a tight system and being patient and opportunistic.
- jimeejohnson - Jun 7, 2013 at 7:14 PM
Still, nobody could have predicted the Bruins would play this well and the Penguins would play this poorly. Bruins are playing championship hockey and will give the west winner a run for their money.
- bubblehead22 - Jun 7, 2013 at 7:19 PM
Hate to admit it but Boston is putting an ass whipping on my Pens. Hope they can avoid the sweep…

When Tunisia's National Constitutional Assembly published the new draft constitution, a storm broke out over its words about women.
It read: "The State guaranties the protection of women rights and the promotion of their gains, as a real partner of men in the mission of the homeland building, and the roles of both should complement each other within the household … The State guaranties the extermination of all kinds of violence against women."
Thousands of Tunisians were not impressed.
"Oh woman, rebel – guarantee your rights in the constitution," chanted supporters of gender equality as they marched on August 13 from the 14 January Square to the Conference Palace in the capital of Tunis, defying government orders to cancel the protest.
Estimates placed the number of protesters between 5,000 and 30,000.
"Equality all the way – no complementarity in the constitution," they shouted. Sister marches were held across Tunisia, in celebration of National Women's Day.

Fiat denies reports of capital increase talks
Send a link to a friend
[December 15, 2012] MILAN (AP) -- Fiat has denied reports that it is talks with banks to raise capital to boost its ownership of U.S. automaker Chrysler LLC.
Fiat said in a statement Friday that `'there is no specific project" and that it `'believes there is no need for a capital increase."
Fiat and Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne conceded in October that investment plans for Italy deprive Fiat of the cash to buy the remaining stake in the U.S. automaker from the autoworkers' pension health trust.
Fiat has a 58.5 percent stake in Chrysler and has always planned to buy out the minority shareholder.
Fiat shares were down 2.27 percent to euro3.61 ($4.72) after it posted a 13 percent drop in year-on-year registrations in November. The European market dropped 7 percent by comparison.

A Kings Bay Shoreline Idle Speed Kayak/Canoe Corridor
With the increased recreational use of Kings Bay, the potential for fatal or life threatening watercraft collisions has greatly increased. Watercraft use of the bay has changed significantly since the original speed zones were established over 10 years ago. There are now many more slow moving non-motorized vessels which must transit a high speed, shoreline to shoreline, watersport zone in order to reach most destinations on the bay during the summer months. Given that all users have the right to enjoy the natural beauty of the bay in a reasonable manner, we ask that an idle speed corridor be created around certain shorelines in the bay to allow safe transit. All of the public access launch facilties are located on the north end of the bay, while most of the destination are located on the south end. The watersport zone is located on the north and middle portions of the bay. This petition seeks to create a 100\' shoreline idle speed \"safe\" zone for non-motorized craft on the edge of the Sport Zone and around Buzzard Island, which is owned and managed by the USFWS as part of the Crystal River NWR. Non-motorized craft now greatly outnumber PWCs and other powerboats that use the watersport zone for high speed recreation. Note that this petition does not seek to exclude any user from the safe zone, but merely establishes a reasonable speed in a corridor comprising a small portion of the existing watersport zone. The petition will be delivered to both the Board of County Commissioners of Citrus County and the Crystal River City Council in early August of 2006.

The downtown jewelry district is not known for watches, to my knowledge. If they did have some genuine Rolexes, they would likely be Grey Market watches. There are no listed ADs in that area as far as I know. Tony, aka "justrolexes" is a very nice daytrip away. Otherwise ADs are in Beverly Hills, Century City, and Malibu. Bob's Watches is a used dealer in Huntington Beach.

As Medtech indicated, there are no AD's in Downtown LA.
However, I've had good experience with The Watch Empire. They have decent prices on used Rolex. You should call to see what they have in stock and make an appt. The Watch Empire 607 S. Hill St. #508 Los Angeles, CA 90014 213-622-2622 I am having them do a PVD coating on one of my watches. There's another Rolex place in downtown, I will get you the info. |

Here's the other store in Downtown that carries many Rolexes, also not authorized:
Farzad Mirage Jewelry and Watches http://www.miragejw.com 213-891-0909 Also, dont forget to visit Dalton and Beau at ABC Watchwerks: 635 S Hill St, Ste 406 Los Angeles, CA 90014 (213) 489-1816 You might want to call first and make an appt since some of these I mentioned are not on the floor retail level. |

I spent a couple hours walking the jewelry district this weekend. As others have posted, there are no ADs and everything is grey market. If you know you're stuff though, there are some really nice deals to be had on some nice watches but also easy to get burned. Youll find many without papers; boxes but no papers. I found that many of them were not even in the correct box. Not that that means anything but thats the kinda thing that puts me off a bit.
Ive bought from both Watch Empire and had a great experience . |

I wasted a whole day out there once. About 75% of the Rolex's dont have Box/Paperwork , even the new ones. High asking prices and shady looking watch dealers that haggle as soon as you look in their direction . I even saw some that didnt look real
Like another poster said go see "Justrolexes" Tony in San Diego , he's a good guy and always has good stuff |
