New global operating models the latest HR trend says Deloitte
Private Matters, December 2012
The movement towards globally integrated operating models is shaping up as one of the key trends in Human Resources (HR), according to a recent report from Deloitte.
The latest Deloitte report Human Capital Trends 2012: Leap ahead says the ability to successfully address people related issues, such as change, talent and HR operations, will be critical in meeting the challenges of operational globalisation.
Kate McDonald, Deloitte Consulting Human Capital partner, believes many companies now want to move beyond the established models.
"Leading organisations are increasingly shifting to integrated operating models, where major business operations (including both front- and back-office functions) are globally integrated, with the home country serving as just one of many markets," she says.
"The evolving vision is a flexible operating model where work can be shifted to whatever global location makes the most sense, based not only on the cost of labour, but also the area's future revenue potential and supply of skilled talent. Companies are looking for the right balance between customer and talent markets.
"As many companies look to maximise their ability to access the global market place, they are rethinking virtually every aspect of their operations, including how work gets done, who does it, where people are located and how they should be organised."
For HR leaders, Ms McDonald says the shift to new global operating models and global talent pools is an opportunity that demands attention and focus "while drawing on HR's particular ability to lead and shape the agenda around change, talent and global HR operations".
The report identified five actions that organisations can take right now if they want 'future ready' operating models:
- Invest in HR leaders with the knowledge, skills and motivation for global operations. New operating models are anticipated to require new skill sets. Develop or hire HR leaders with the skills and competencies to be business driven and to lead and support business change.
- Expand HR's services. Rethink the services that HR provides and how those services are delivered. Develop new services and capabilities to support strategic business activities, such as M&A and entering new-markets.
- Align HR around a global operating model. Redesign HR's organisational structure to align with and support business operations that are truly global.
- Ratchet up HR's change management capabilities. Create a dedicated team with deep knowledge and experience in managing large-scale change.
- Harness the power of advanced analytics. Advanced analytics can help a company manage its global workforce more effectively and focus its efforts on business areas with the greatest need.

This bare frame can be the foundation of several bikes - lightweight wheels, skinny tires, and you've got an all-day Cross Country machine. Or go the other direction with fat rubber, dropper seatpost, and you've got an all-mountain machine that can handle any terrain.The Yeti 575 has been a best- seller at JensonUSA for many years now. Yeti designed a bike that is not only lightweight, but has loads of travel. This extremely versatile bike allows you to easily climb steep terrain, and take the gnarly course back down the mountain. If you only have one mountain bike in the garage, ensure that you have the Yeti 575, the do-it-all, go anywhere mountain bike. Though the 575 has been Yeti's flagship model for many years now, it has received some very impressive upgrades over the years. Most notably, last year Yeti began hydro- forming the main pivot junction to increase the stiffness and clearance. Other notable changes include a direct mount front derailleur, ISCG '03 tabs, and cable stops for dropper seat posts. The 2013 model features a new custom butted rear triangle to increase the strength and stiffness of the rear, while maintaining the same weight. The head tube is now tapered for increased front- end stiffness.

|Santa Brings Presents and Smiles to All Children's
The holidays always include a special tour by a very special person. Santa Claus came to All Children's with toys and hugs for every patient in the hospital. With the assistance of his Child Life helpers, he brought joy and happiness in each room he visited.
Patients and families took pictures and gave Santa their Christmas wishes. Sleigh bells echoed through the hallways, and the sounds of holiday music accompanied a special cart overflowing with gifts.
After all the presents were delivered, Santa and his reindeer took off from the All Children's helipad. And with a wink and a wave, he promised to return - just in time for Christmas.

Usage Discussion of SLOW
Some commentators claim that careful writers avoid the adverb slow, in spite of the fact that it has had over four centuries of usage <have a continent forbearance till the speed of his rage goes slower — Shakespeare>. In actual practice, slow and slowly are not used in quite the same way. Slow is almost always used with verbs that denote movement or action, and it regularly follows the verb it modifies <beans…are best cooked long and slow — Louise Prothro>. Slowly is used before the verb <a sense of outrage, which slowly changed to shame — Paul Horgan> and with participial adjectives <a slowly dawning awareness…of the problem — American Labor>. Slowly is used after verbs where slow might also be used <burn slow or slowly> and after verbs where slow would be unidiomatic <the leadership turned slowly toward bombing as a means of striking back — David Halberstam>.
Examples of SLOW
- My computer is working slow.
- <you need to go slow with this experiment, or you'll make mistakes>

At the track in the woods, in the southeastern corner of Nike's 200-acre Beaverton, Ore., campus, it is mid-May and the weather is good for running. It is neither warm nor cold, the sky is overcast, and there is no wind. Shalane Flanagan, the 2008 Olympic bronze medalist and the American record-holder at 5,000m and 10,000m outdoors and 3,000m and 5,000m indoors, is warming up on a 2-mile wood-chipped trail that encircles the Nike campus. Her coach, Jerry Schumacher, is inspecting the track. It has rained the evening before, and near the start and finish line, which is guarded by a statue of Michael Johnson on one side and a sign advising walkers and joggers to use lanes 4 and 5 and abstain from wearing spiked footwear on the other, there is a slug. It has Schumacher concerned. "I've got to kick that off there. Because that poor guy, if he gets trampled –"
"He doesn't stand a chance."
"No. He's dead where he sits. If I leave him on the track."
There is nothing else on the track, or at least nothing of note. Schumacher walks its length anyway and scuffs away some leaves, sticks, and several more slugs where he finds them. Soon, Flanagan, who is nearing her 29th birthday, returns from her warm-up, works through a series of drills and strides, and runs 13 600m repeats at 10K pace with short jogging recoveries. This is nearly 8,000m worth of work and it is done at 30-minute 10,000m pace, which only five women in history have ever sustained for an entire 10,000m race. Flanagan's PR is 30:22.22; she is No. 17 on the world all-time list and tops the American list by a margin of 28 seconds. Simon Bairu, a 27:23 runner and the Canadian national record-holder, paces her through 12 of 13. Schumacher and Flanagan call the workout a fartlek, though what Flanagan does is neither unstructured nor unscripted, as "speed play" might suggest.
Because each interval in this fartlek begins and ends in a different place from the one previous, Schumacher must move around constantly, checking Bairu and Flanagan's splits and monitoring Flanagan's effort. He does both volubly and enthusiastically. Among media and the running public, Schumacher has developed a reputation as tight-lipped, answering questions brusquely and more often avoiding interviews altogether, but in person he is irrepressible. At the adidas Grand Prix in New York in mid-June, I arranged to speak with Flanagan after her race in the 1500m. When she appeared, behind schedule, she told me that she was late meeting her parents for dinner and had to leave. "I'm really sorry," she said. "Jerry got talking."

LAKELAND, Fla. -- Miami opened a 5-0 advantage after just two innings, but the RedHawks couldn't hold the lead in a 13-6 loss to Army Thursday afternoon at Henley Field. The setback was the first of the spring trip for Miami, snapping a four-game winning streak.
Charles Zubrod tied a career-high with five strikeouts, all of which came against the first seven hitters. He pitched 5.2 innings, allowing six hits and a walk, while giving up three runs (two earned). Kevin Bower and Jake Romano each had a pair of hits to lead Miami (6-7).
Miami picked up right where it left off in yesterday's 18-1 victory. The RedHawks capitalized on several Army errors to pick up two runs in the first and three more in the second. Scott Slappey singled in Alex Johnson, who reached on an error, and John Crummy came home on another error for the 2-0 lead after 1.
In the second and stikeout/passed ball started the inning, then Romano singled through the right. After a double play, Johnson grounded to third, where the play was booted, making the score 3-0. Bower singled in a run, before Crummy doubled him home with a shot to the gap in right center.
Army (4-8) chipped into the lead in the third, using a walk, single, sacrifice and sacrifice fly to make the score 5-1. The Knights made the score 5-3 in the sixth on a single that brought runners home from second and third. The second run was unearned after a throw home kicked loose, allowing the trailing runner to take second. Clay Cinnamon closed the door, though, getting a pop out to end the frame
Miami (6-7) got one of the runs back in its half of the sixth. With two outs, Romano singled through the right side. He took off for second on a pitch in the dirt, forcing a wild throw that went into centerfield. Another wild pitch brought him home, increasing the margin back to three, 6-3.
The Knights broke things open in the seventh, batting around and taking advantage of errant Miami pitching. A pair of walks around a single loaded the bases and sent Miami back to the bullpen. Brandon Adkins was brought on, and was greeted by a first-pitch single. A bloop single to right scored a run, then Adkins hit a batter to tie the game at 6-6.
Seth Varner became the third pitcher of the inning, but didn't fare much better. He threw a wild pitch that pushed Army ahead 7-6, then threw another after a pop out to allow another run. A sacrifice fly ended the rally at 9-6.
The Knights started the eighth with three hits and a walk to add three runs, before Miami capped the scoring on a two-out solo home run by Matt Packer, his second of the year.
Army starter Alex Robinett (2-1) allowed seven hits and six runs over six innings to get the win. None of the runs were earned. Adkins took the loss for Miami, falling to 0-1.
The RedHawks face another service academy tomorrow when they meet Navy at 3 p.m. at Lake Myrtle Park in Auburndale.

Determining (and reducing) Smith & Fong's carbon footprint

Smith & Fong is currently undergoing a comprehensive analysis of the company's carbon footprint – from the bamboo forest to the North American distribution channel – and that information will be used to design and implement an effort to reduce (and hopefully eliminate or neutralize) its carbon emissions. When the data is fully compiled, Smith & Fong will make this information available via the web and begin the journey toward carbon-neutrality.
In a more immediate way, the company has revamped the commute to work for its employees. Currently, just over 20 percent of Smith & Fong's downtown San Francisco employees either take mass transit, walk or carpool to work. The company estimates that number to increase to roughly 60 percent by the end of July 2009.

Knead the block of blue sculpting clay in your hand until it's soft. Have your child roll a 1 1/2-inch ball, flatten it, and then use the rolling pin or any cylinder-shaped object to roll out the piece until it's big enough to cover the big circle shape.
Place the big circle shape on top of the clay layer, and have your child cut around the shape on the clay with the plastic knife. Peel away the edges and keep the circle.
Place the small circle paper shape on top of the clay circle, and have your child cut around the shape on the clay. Take out the central clay circle, and now you have a blue clay ring.
Roll a 1-inch ball of red, yellow, and turquoise sculpting clay each. Flatten the balls and roll them into thin disks. Use the knife to trace the spinner shape onto red clay, the hat shape onto yellow clay, and the hat stripe onto turquoise clay.
Stack the clay shapes atop the blue clay ring and arrange them like the image reference on the templates. Insert the red spinner's pole between the hat shapes and the ring.
Place on the pan and bake at 275°F for 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool.

Does this need to be one guy with all of this or are we talking about skillsets throughout the team?
Let me know if rather I post in The Nest or Gerry V
While the Hornets have done a ice job filling their roster with an obvious upgrade in talent,the one area that still ends with a question mark is the point guard position.Discuss Vasquez and Rivers if you wish as the summer league displayed an Austin Rivers with basketball talent,passion,attack mentality,fearless,streaky, but obviously not ready to command and wear the hat of a floor general. (* let's also remind ourselves that summer league games deal with the simplistic elements of the game as players are evaluated on the basics.
At the moment do the Hornets have the guard that can do the following:
1-Handle the ball and execute the pick and roll?
A-can he turn the corner in the P&R? Get into the teeth of the defense?
B- make the pass off the dribble? Either hand?
C- can he score out of P&R's? How?
D- Can he escape the trap thus putting pressure on the defense?
1-Does he have open floor acceleration? Which allows him to separate himself from the pack?Get foul line to foul line?
2- Can he make the pass off the dribble to runners and cutters?
3- Court vision? See "corner to corner? ( left to right)
4-Change of direction quicks and make a play? Handle with either hand?
5-when to push it and when to run a set play?
6- Does he understand when and how to "keep the bigs happy?"
7- handle defensive pressure and traps?
1- Can he defend? ( how well can he defend at his position within his Conference/ Division?
2- Does he understand defensive concepts
1- Can he score? He better have a jumper.
2- Can can he get his own shot?
3- Can he get "to the rim?" or dotted line?:
1- Leadership/personality/mental toughness
2- vocal?
3 knows time and score/ timeouts/foul situations/ match ups?/ shot clock
4-understand whom has the hot hand?
5- Pace, when to push it and when to run.?
6- *[toughest part] When to shoot and when to pass.
I have listed a variety of skills required to play the toughest position on the floor.As you discuss the pt guard position on the Hornet roster, tell me if you feel they are currently in good hands.
Makes for some good basketball conversation.
Next Scoring Swings
Last edited by gerryv; 08-09-2012 at 03:11 PM.
1-What does not move is dead.What has speed,and mobilty has more possibilities,more life...quickness creates luck.
2- Your Defense is only as good as your HELP/ROTATING defenders.
3-Games are won while the ball is in the air.
4- You design your roster to win a 7 game series not a one game confrontation.
Does this need to be one guy with all of this or are we talking about skillsets throughout the team?
"I don't know if people know I dislocated my pinkie finger. And [Tyreke] told me, 'You wanna go home or you wanna be here?' I want to be here. And he said, 'All right, then go tape it up and let's play. Let's go. We not stoppin' at no stores. Straight gas. That's what we do, just keep going.'"
I think Vasquez has *most* of the items you mentioned.
Great ball handler.
We saw him hit a number of 3's last season also has a nice little "floater" in the lane.
Showing leadership skills (i was impressed how he was with the summer league team/ monty watching every game).
His quickness leaves a little bit to be desired but I give him a pass on that just based on the fact of his size. 6'6 PG is something most teams don't have.
Rivers... Don't get me wrong I am high on this kid but i haven't seen enough to make a real judgement. (i mean come on 2 games of summer league is NOT enough to make a call)
I will say I felt like he has great ball handling skills.
His quickness was impressive.
Court vision needs a little improvement (and that'll come with time. the kid is still learning the position). When to shoot / when to pass will come with time and also knowing his teammates / where they will be on the floor.
He attacked the basket with no regard for human life?! Needs to work a floater into his game / mid range shot.
I think he has the raw talent to be great. It's up to Monty to take that clay and mold it. I think he can do it. I am almost certain Rivers has the drive and the will to push himself to be great.
Looking forward to watching him grow this season.

Oh man, Vasquez is the next guy that gets way overrated on this board, i can feel it.
I think you are trying to peg certain positions here Gerry, and that isn't the way things work anymore. We will run our offense through Eric Gordon. Is he a PG? No. Can he run the PnR? Well, he was rated 2nd in the league last year in that category, so that says something. He can do it all, so check all the boxes on your list.
In terms of, who is the guy that will bring the ball up the court?, that is going to be Vasquez and Rivers, but they won't play the traditional PG role, I don't think. I do think, however, that their skill sets are polar opposites, which offers us a lot of versatility. Vasquez gave us great minutes last year, and I am happy with him as a 15-20 minute/game type guy. He has his limitations, but he is a real solid player.
Rivers is an unknown right now, but he has tremendous potential. It's really hard to address your question with out watching him play against elite talent while playing with elite talent. I think a guy like Gordon is going to do wonders for him in that he'll take a lot of the scoring pressure off of Rivers and allow him to play the game at a slower pace to start his career. Anderson will lighten the load too, and he'll provide Rivers with a great outlet for his drive-and-dish game. That isn't even mentioning how much Davis will open things up with the PnR lob potential.
Unfortunately, you can't combine Rivers and Vasquez into that perfect player. Both have their strength and weaknesses. With their deficiencies, neither guy is going to be a real solution this year. We can only hope they both balance each other out and have both Gordon and Mason help out at the point when needed.
Gordon is excellent in the pick n roll. What he needs is a PG next to him who can play off the ball and penetrate when needed. Rivers has that potential eventually once he improves his shooting and gets stronger.
Emeka Okafor - Joe Smith - Carmelo Anthony - Manu Ginobili - Jason Williams
Al Jefferson - James Posey - Aaron McKie - Shaun Livingston
Who's a really good pg in this league that doesn't need the ball in his hands? Serious question because I cant think of it. If Gordon truely lives up to everything everyone's saying, then I think you need a Spot up PG along with anderson to keep defenses honest when Godon is working his magic, not really a penetrator. I completely agree with Kibner about switching assignments, since Gordon is a bit undersized and with all you're asking him to do on offense it's hard to ask him to defend top players as well. I think a big guard (Think Evan Turner with a better spot up shot) would be a good compliment.
No, you want as many penetrators and ball-handlers as you can get. Makes your offense more difficult to defend. Of course, you want them all to be able to shoot, too.
BallsoHard: Its a list of certain qualities one would use when evaluating pt guards,a check list.It doesn't mean a certain has all these qualities,but it serves as a measuring stick when comparing player vs player. Plus it stimulates some good basketball conversation.
nolaslim: I don't fully agree with you.yes Gordon can run the pick and roll ,but one must consider playing 82 games,defenses preparing for certain schemes over the course of a season. The team lacked backcrt speed last year so lets simply agree to disagree.We're talking on two different levels.
Gordon needs a playmate that draws coverage,and who is an offensive threat,as Gordon will warrant special defensive attention.I look at the pt guard position as vital to this team...the need for that player that can playmake......
Correct,Magic had size,an open floor game that perfectly fit the Laker style at the time,open floor "Showtime" Magic had all the Mental qualities required to go along with the list.
Gordon did not have a large enough body of work to properly rank him in the P&R area...lets put the numbers in the proper context shall we.
Charmers is a good PG who can play off the ball. Not great but good.
Unless we get an upgrade at SF, we will need a PG who can create and score some. Rivers could be that guy. Needs to work hard, get stronger, improve his jumper, etc. Vasquez is a good stopgap right now.
WhoDatHornet: One of the joys of the game is waiting to see what players have improved their game from one season to the next.I base my evaluations on hoq I see a player over the 82 game schedule.Is the talent good enough to beat the top 7 teams you play...also the best in the West.You build your roster to win a playoff series not a one night stand.

Mitigating the Risks of Big Systems
2007, Business Officer Magazine
Bradley C. Wheeler, J. DeStefano
Colleges and universities are complex organizations with growing needs to manage the integrity and timeliness of information. Information technology systems have risen to address this challenge and have become absolutely mission critical for the information-intensive work of student recruiting, registration, online instruction, research administration—and most certainly for financial administration. By 2007, many institutions had either recently replaced their large-scale administrative systems or were preparing to do so. Such system decisions invoke multiyear costs and risks for institutions—sometimes in the tens of millions of dollars or more. By 2002, conservative estimates placed higher education's investment at more than $5 billion in these systems. In this article we assess the motivations for big systems, their inherent risks, and a new strategy for mitigating those risks.

6 months post-Benghazi, Obama taps new Libya envoy
Wednesday - 3/13/2013, 1:57pm EDT
By BRADLEY KLAPPER
Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) - President Barack Obama nominated a new ambassador to Libya on Wednesday, filling a post that has been vacant since Chris Stevens was killed in the Sept. 11 Benghazi attack and signaling the United States' commitment to the North African country as it undergoes a perilous transition from decades of dictatorship.
The announcement came as Secretary of State John Kerry was meeting Libyan Prime Minister Ali Zidan, and two days after the six-month anniversary of the storming of the U.S. diplomatic mission in the eastern Libyan city. No one has yet been captured for the attack, which has caused significant political headaches for Obama and his foreign policy team.
"The United States will continue to stand with Libya during this difficult time of transition," Kerry told reporters. "The Libyan people have begun to chart the course for their own future, and they're defining it. Obviously there are challenges ahead and we understand that, from building political consensus to strengthening the security and protecting human rights, and growing the Libyan economy."
Kerry thanked the Libyan government for its cooperation after the Benghazi attack and insisted that "those who killed Americans in Benghazi will be brought to justice." He promised Zidan that America would continue working for a stable Libya.
"We must not walk away from the difficult work that Chris Stevens and his cohorts were so dedicated to," Kerry said. Stevens was the first ambassador killed in the line of duty since the U.S. ambassador to Afghanistan in 1979.
To replace Stevens, the White House tapped Deborah K. Jones, a career diplomat who has served in Kuwait, United Arab Emirates and the now-shuttered U.S. Embassy in Syria. Jones, who currently works as a scholar at the Middle East Institute in Washington, also has spent time at embassies in Turkey and Ethiopia.
Jones will assume a difficult position heading the embassy in Libya's capital, Tripoli. The North African country has been beset by lawlessness, militant group rivalries and political instability since rebels, with the help of the U.S. and other governments, overthrew long-time dictator Moammar Gadhafi in 2011.
"She is a very capable and experienced diplomat," Kerry said of Jones. "I have no doubt that she will help to strengthen the partnership between us."
Zidan also met with Obama and his national security adviser Tom Donilon at the White House.
The president added his support Libya's democratic efforts and outlined areas the U.S. could help the government strengthen its institutions and improve the rule of law, according to a statement by Caitlin Hayden, spokeswoman for the National Security Council.
From Washington's perspective, the most pressing problem is insecurity.
Stevens and three other Americans were killed a half-year ago when a large group of men, possibly tied to Islamic extremist groups, assaulted the American outpost in Benghazi, and the help that arrived proved far too little and too late.
The militant group Ansar Al-Shariah is suspected of carrying out the attack, which the administration initially attributed to a protest over an American-made, anti-Islam video that spiraled out of control. Officials later retracted that account and called it a terror attack. But no one has been punished in Libya or elsewhere for involvement.
Zidan has been trying to reassert government control over Libya. Last month, he called on militias to evacuate buildings and headquarters and join government security forces, vowing that his government will take a hardline stand against any armed group that tries to hijack control of "Tripoli or Benghazi or any other city."
However, the Libyan government heavily depends on security provided by commanders of several powerful militias that the president has labeled "legitimate" forces. Militias in Libya often act with impunity, running their own prison cells, making arrests and taking confessions in total absence of state control and oversight.
The lawlessness also has allowed Gadhafi's once-vast stock of weapons to fall into the hands of extremists who've sparked a civil war in neighboring Mali. A France-led intervention has pushed back the Islamist militants after they seized half the country last year.
Speaking next to Kerry, Zidan thanked Obama and the U.S. for its key contribution in the effort to defeat Gadhafi. He said Libya would partner the U.S. in stabilizing his country and region.
"This relationship will be at the best level," Zidan, in his first to trip to Washington as prime minister, said through an interpreter.

Aluminum Chimney Relining Kits
Chimney liners are used to protect the inside of a masonry chimney from wear and tear caused by wet conditions. Moisture, over time, will cause decay and corrosion of mortar, clay, and brick liners. How? Moisture reacts with the exhaust gases to form an acid that slowly "eats away" at the chimney. Moisture also, can collect and seep into cracks, mortar and bricks. In colder climates, this moisture will freeze, expand and then thaw, thus causing chunks of the chimney to break and crumble. There are also times where moisture can actually drip back into your appliance causing the unit to corrode or rust. Chimney liners also reduce the size of the flue opening, which is important for venting appliances with low stack temperatures (a characteristic of today's higher efficiency appliances). Smaller flue openings require less heat to create the chimney effect which draws combustion byproducts to the outside. Our chimney liners are constructed of aluminum, which is used in gas installations only (not wood or oil), where there are lower flue temperatures and less corrosive gases. These relining kits are available in a variety of diameters and lengths to fit your needs.

My experience at Magnet Street was A-MAZING! I found this to be the only website that was willing or had the capabilities to make your own choice of colors and design. I didn't go as far as to design my own save-the-date, but I felt like the design template that Magnet Street provided was perfect for my wedding theme. Magnet Street kicked it up a knotch when I could change the colors to my wedding colors and/ or alter anything on the design that was needed. I have been able to contact someone every time I had a question no matter how big or how small. The online chat feautrue is perfect when your actually designing your product and run into a snag.

It's getting hard to remember what it was like before the iPhone.
From wooden wall mounted telephones to small and sleek pocket phones; the telecom industry has grown in leaps and bounds. Since the advent of "smart phones" in 1992 by IBM, the world has seen remarkable success in communication technology – quality and quantity alike. With a smart phone the user can send out e-mails and text messages, browse the internet, take pictures, watch TV shows and movies, download and listen to music, get traffic updates and directions and even store personal information on just one consolidated device.
Read more about 'iPhone'
Apple's first iPhone 2G model, introduced to consumers on June 29, 2007, was geared toward people on the go in the fast-paced 21st century. The history of the iPhone began with Steve Jobs' direction that Apple engineers investigate touch-screens. Many have noted the device's similarities to Apple's previous touch-screen portable device, the Newton MessagePad. Its form factor is credited to Apple's head of design Jonathan Ive.
On January 9, 2007, Jobs announced the iPhone at the Macworld convention, and on June 11, 2007 he announced at Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference that the iPhone would support third-party applications using the Safari engine on the device. Third-parties would create the Web 2.0 applications and users would access them via the internet. Initially priced at US$599 and US$499 for the 8 GB and 4 GB models, Apple closed its stores at 2:00 PM local time to prepare for the 6:00 PM iPhone launch, while hundreds of customers lined up at stores nationwide.
Technology analysts estimated sales of between 250,000 to 700,000 units in the first weekend alone, with strong sales continuing after the initial weekend. As part of their quarterly earnings announcement, AT&T (the then-official iPhone carrier) reported that 146,000 iPhones were activated in the first weekend. It is also estimated that 95 percent of the units sold were the 8 GB model. In its annual feature of 2007, Time Magazine named the iPhone "Invention of the Year."
On July 11, 2008 Apple released the iPhone 3G, a faster device than its predecessor and equipped to work in tandem with GPS units. A follow-up, third-generation model was introduced to consumers on June 17, 2009 – the iPhone 3GS with new features such as video capabilities and voice recording.
On June 21, 2010, Apple launched iPhone 4G with the highly anticipated multitasking feature. Jobs described the iPhone 4G as the thinnest smart phone on the planet: almost 25 percent thinner than the iPhone 3GS. As of July 2010, it was priced at US$199 for a 16 GB model and US$299 for a 32 GB model. Apple plans to continue selling the iPhone 3GS, with the 8 GB model going for US$99.

In March of 1998, two witnesses told an Orange County Superior Court jury that 21-year-old Alfonso Gomez was the gunman who fired multiple times from a passing car, killing Martha Gonzalez and seriously wounding another passenger in a gang-related shooting on a Santa Ana street.
The identifications were virtually the only evidence that linked Gomez to the two-year-old shooting, but they were enough for a jury to convict him of murder. A judge sentenced him to serve 41 years to life.
The identifications were powerful evidence, Orange County Deputy District Attorney Howard Gundy argued to the jury, describing them as "righteous" and "certain."
"Is he the right front passenger?" Gundy asked rhetorically in his closing argument. "Absolutely ... I mean, it was a dead-bang identification."
Except the identification wasn't dead-bang certain.
In fact, it was dead-bang wrong.
Last year, following a re-investigation of the shooting by the District Attorney's Office, Gomez's murder conviction was vacated and the murder case was dismissed. New evidence developed by the prosecution of a different homicide pointed to a different suspect, a street gang member named Armando Parra, who is now awaiting trial in Gonzalez's murder. After Parra told authorities that Gomez was not in the car, prosecutors notified Gomez and agreed to his release on Nov. 30. (He remains in prison for convictions in two unrelated cases.)
Gomez is the ninth convicted defendant to be exonerated in Orange County since 1995, according to the National Registry of Exonerations. The registry is a database of 1,050 exonerations across the nation since 1989, assembled by researchers at the University of Michigan Law School and Northwestern University's Center on Wrongful Convictions.
All nine of the wrongful convictions in Orange County have been the result of mistaken eyewitness identifications. They are among 46 exonerations in California that involved eyewitness mistakes. Nationally, 434 of the 1,040 exonerations – 42 percent – have involved mistaken witness identification. It is the third most-common cause of wrongful conviction, trailing official misconduct (43 percent) and perjury and other false accusations (52 percent).
The Orange County cases include James Ochoa, who pleaded guilty to a 1995 carjacking and armed robbery in Buena Park after two witnesses identified him. Ochoa was exonerated ten months later after DNA tests matched another man who confessed to the crime. In Santa Ana, Richard Perez was convicted in 2001 of a robbery. While awaiting sentencing, a private investigator found evidence pointing to another man and Perez's conviction was vacated. Joshua Moore was convicted in 1999 of robbing a video store in Fullerton after the video store manager identified him. Moore was exonerated when evidence was found proving that he was at work in Huntington Beach at the time of the robbery.
"Eyewitness misidentification is the simplest and I think also the scariest cause of false convictions," said Samuel Gross, University of Michigan law professor and editor of the National Registry of Exonerations. "Hundreds of cases show that many witnesses make terrible, tragic mistakes, and are absolutely certain about them."
The fallibility of eyewitness identification – a powerful form of evidence – is no longer in doubt and hasn't been so for many years. Studies by well-regarded experts such as Elizabeth Loftus, a psychology professor at UC Irvine, and Gary Wells, a psychology professor at Iowa State University, have demonstrated that witnesses frequently select the wrong person because of improper or unintentional police influence.
Building on the work of Loftus, Wells and others, numerous "best practices" have been recommended by the National Institute of Justice and other groups, such as The Innocence Project in New York. These best practices are designed to ensure the integrity of identifications and reduce the possibility that misidentifications are made as a result of suggestive behavior by police officers overseeing the lineups or by witnesses making relative judgments between suspects and selecting the person who most resembles the suspect they saw.
States such as New Jersey, Wisconsin and North Carolina have implemented the eyewitness reforms as well as large jurisdictions such as Santa Clara County, San Francisco, Boston, Dallas and Denver.
The nine Orange County prosecutions were the result of investigations by seven police departments. Santa Ana and Orange police each had two wrongful convictions, while police in Costa Mesa, Newport Beach, Tustin, Buena Park and Fullerton each have had one case of wrongful conviction, all due to mistaken witness identification.

I had a ball Saturday night.
Finally, a social event for which I was aptly dressed. Friends and colleagues had to special order shirts, vests and other attire for Onslow Memorial Hospital Foundation's Mardi Gras fundraiser. All I had to do was pick out one of the loud shirts I normally wear.
For the evening it was my casino shirt with playing cards and poker chips. Michelle wore a black dress, but she's a knockout in anything. We stopped at the Dollar Tree for some beads and we were ready.
My youngest son asked where we were going and I explained we were going to a party like the ones in all the Batman movies where all the rich folks of
"Until the Joker shows up?" my son asked. Good point, why do they have costume balls in
Well, the clown prince of crime didn't show up Saturday, but their were plenty of jokers. One colleague wore a wild feathered mask he said he had laying around the house. It made me wonder what else he had laying around.
I haven't seen so many scantily clad women wearing stilted footwear in one place in
Saturday night was all for a good cause. It was affirming to see so many people coming out to support our hospital. The foundation is raising money to build a new patient tower. It's a win-win for everyone as better facilities mean more patients staying here in
The evening was a collection of the movers and shakers of
During the auction when the foundation was selling diamond necklaces, a week at a beach resort and other high-dollar items, I felt like James Bond. You know where he shows up at an event on the French Riviera and grabs everyone's attention by outbidding the bad guy for a Fabergé egg. Except I didn't have Her Majesty's money to play with.
I did win a basket full of Cajun spices during the silent auction. I won because I was the only person to bid on it — confirming my wife's accusation that
She had no complaints Saturday. The food wasn't as Cajun as she had hoped it would be when I told her we were going to a Mardi Gras party, but it did receive her approval. Usually at events like this, the caterer tries to be fancy and ends up falling flat.
Billy Sewell's gang kept it simple with well-cooked steak and chicken wrapped in bacon. Very good.
Better than that was the crab. I suppose we were supposed to spread the pate over the bread slices, but I made sandwiches. A lot of them.
The excellent fare topped off a great evening which included great music from the Party Crashers, fresh from a Mardi Gras performance in
I just wish Sen. Harry Brown had been there. He could have cleared the dance floor when the band played M.C. Hammer.
The Party Crashers were awesome and an impressive catch for
My hat is off to the foundation. They held a fun event for a good cause.
I was hoping for "Star Wars" when they announced the theme for next year's event. No dice, but maybe in 2015 to go along with the new movie.
Next year the foundation will host a biker bash, or as I like to call it — just another

While a bit pricey, this stem is solid and has functioned superbly for about a year. Strong enough for DH use but light enough for all other applications too. I like the edgey angles yet the rounded side facing the rider is a knee saver. Nice to have wide 4-bolt placement for a strong connection to the bar. There are lots of good stems out there, here is a great one.

- From Aaron
We find ourselves filled with hope when we consider all the new this year will hold for us and so many of the people we know and love. We trust all the new to a God who is bent on giving good even to people who rarely deserve it, who says there's really nothing new under the sun, and who wrote the pages of this coming year long before the world began. We sit here staring at the very first page of the chapter titled "2012" eager to read what God has lovingly penned for each of us.

Public uproar followed the Federal Reserve's actions during the 2008 financial panic. Bear Stearns, Lehman Brothers, and American International Group (AIG) were seared into America's conscience. Two very different movements—the Tea Party and Occupy—arose, in part, because of the Fed's actions.
Many are appalled that the Federal government may have had a "policy of enablement" during the crisis, perceiving that the Treasury and the Fed enabled the excesses of politically-connected financial institutions via "bailouts," especially for firms that posed systemic risks, or were "too big to fail." Thus, the normal central banking function of "lender of last resort" (LOLR)—known since Walter Bagehot, editor of The Economist, articulated the principles of a LOLR in his groundbreaking 1873 work, Lombard Street—has been confused with "bailouts," in which the federal government will use any means, including the Federal Reserve, to "keep things going." However, bailouts and LOLR functions are distinctly different in their purpose, economic effects, and appropriateness in a free market economy.

Pros & Cons
I love this flat iron for the extra long titanium plates, quick heat up, ultra slim design, comfortable to hold. The cons are for the money, this should be digital with actual read out like 375F ,etc, or at least dial with actually the "F" number heat....... the only thing is i do not like the dial with 1 through 50 so its hard to determine what temperature "F" you are actually using for your hair. There are cheaper irons that have dial or digital read outs that are much better, also it doesn't let you know thats its ready, you kind of have to quess. I have used many other irons that have those features so i am surprised & disappointed this does not but it does work great for straightening & curling hair.

Love It!
My hairdresser uses this flat iron and I wanted one of my own. Ordered one through Amazon and my hair would get caught at the tip. Ouch! I decided to try folica and absolutely love my BaByliss. Heats really fast and leaves my hair shiny and straight. No problems at all.
Jun 17, 2014
First of all I have never written a review but I really want people to know about this great flat iron. My Chi finally gave out and I wanted a flat iron that would have a temperature setting and tourmaline plates. My hair is colored, thick and curly with a tendency to frizz. I bought this flat iron after doing a lot of research and ultimately I ended up buying the same 1 inch ultra slim Babyliss my hairdresser uses. She had been raving about her Babyliss and the last time I was in she let me try it. I was sold! It was easy to use and I was able to curl the ends up. It also gets close to the root, which is very important. I have washed and flat ironed my hair three times since buying this flat iron. I LOVE IT!!!! I highly recommend this flat iron!

Not Impressed
I recently cut my hair shorter, like about 12 inches shorter. I had been using the 1-3/4" Sedu flatiron, which I LOVE, but needed one with smaller plates to accommodate my shorter do. I decided to get the Babyliss and a Solia to try. The Babyliss was the more expensive of the two. Verdict: its ok. it seemed to heat up quickly and straightened my hair just fine. The problem I found was that even when I turned the temp down the outside of the iron got so hot that I couldn't use it without burning my fingers. I tried the Solia next and after I could compare I decided that I would be sending the Babyliss back. Solia was great at a fraction of the cost. Rating all of the flatirons I've used, I would put them in the following order (1st choice, 1st listed): Sedu, Solia, Chi, Babyliss. Hope this helps someone make a decision :)

Straightens Well, But Burned The Ends Of My Hair :(
I had originally posted a glowing review for this flat iron, and wish I could edit it because at first I loved it, but it has really damaged the ends of my hair. I used a HAI flat iron for about 10 years and while you get a little damage, nothing like this. The ends of my hair are dry, and frazzled looking and then you need to flat iron that to make it look better, which makes the damage worse. I am now shelling out another $80-100 for a new flat iron and keeping this as a back up and getting the ends of my hair cut off to make it look healthier. I would not recommend this flat iron for the damage it does after a few weeks- a month of use. Bummer because it flat ironed really well, and was light weight.

Previous Sedu User
Let me start this review by saying I have been an avid Sedu user since 2007. Don't get me wrong, I LOVED my Sedu irons (yes plural!) however, I was tired of them breaking after a year and some change of use and tired of putting all of that money into them. After weeks of reviewing and researching, I finally decided to go with this hair iron. I knew nothing about titanium plates, so it was a dramatic change for me. I am mixed and I had thick semi coarse hair. Living in Florida my hair can get very frizzy and be a pain in the neck to manage in the summer. The iron works great in my hair. The real test is my daughter. She, as me, is mixed with coarse KINKY curls. She has true African American hair. With the use of Mizani shampoo and conditioner, Mizani rinse out moisturizer, chi silk infusion, and argon oil, I got her hair straighter than I have ever seen. I trimmed her ends and I was amazed with the results. So shiny, so soft, and I didn't have to use ANY grease. With a nice satin wrap at night, he hair lasted two days before I had to do a quick run over it again. With the washing, rinsing, and blow drying, it was still a long process, but the ironing part was cut significantly down. I never got my daughters hair this soft with my old Sedu....it never stayed hot enough. This iron though stays at that 400-450 degrees that you want! It also get the roots to a T! I recommend this irons for ANY woman with that think coarse kinky tight curled hair. Let the pictures speak for themselves :) and my daughter is only 6, so this is ALL NATURAL NON CHEMICALLY TREATED! :)

Excellent Product
My hairdresser recommended this straightening iron since my hair looks silky when she is finished with it. I have curly fine hair and lots of it and this is the best iron that I have ever used. What a difference between cheaper brands. Excellent results in a short time and I have the silky look that I love.

BaByliss pro titanium products are amazing!! My mom is a PROFESSIONAL hair stylist, she only uses this product because it works so quickly. I have read some of these reviews and titanium is not bad to use on your hair if you know what you are doing. I have thick hair but it gets damaged very easily. I have a hard time blow drying or straightening my hair because of the damages it causes. My mom tried the BaByliss titanium flat iron on me and it worked so quickly and wonderfully. If you feel like your hair may be getting damaged it is because the heat is too high for your hair. You have to remember that if you bleach your hair often you are more susceptible to damaged hair due to heat. Turn down the straightener, you do not need it on high to get the job done. Also, put a heat protector in your hair regardless of what straightener you use. I use Healthy Sexy Hair argon oil; One of the many Sexy products. It works great, and it leaves your hair smooth shiny and protects your hair from getting damaged. My mom recommends both these products to all her clients because they last long and work great.

Absolutely Amazing, Just One Big Complaint...
As far as straightening goes, this is BY FAR the best straightener I've ever encountered. Leaves my hair soft and has cut my styling time down by at least half! It's also an amazing at curling my hair and I get awesome results without needing my curling iron. The only issue is that the blue paint on the side of the straightener rubbed of the first time I used it to curl my hair. It hasn't effected the results, but really? For the price, I was very surprised and disappointed.

When Does Extra Risk Strictly Increase the Value of Options?
2007, Review of Financial Studies
Eric Bennett Rasmusen
It is well known that risk increases the value of options. This paper makes that precise in a new way. The conventional theorem says that the value of an option does not fall if the underlying option becomes riskier in the conventional sense of the mean-preserving spread. This paper uses two new definitions of ``riskier'' to show that the value of an option strictly increases (a) if the underlying asset becomes ``pointwise riskier,'' and (b) only if the underlying asset becomes ``extremum riskier.''.
Rasmusen, Eric, Bennett (2007), "When Does Extra Risk Strictly Increase the Value of Options?" The Review of Financial Studies, 20(5) September, 1647-1667.
