What does being customer centric really mean? We will look at a whole host of challenges faced by different types of organisations, and the different models that are applied to help businesses succeed in their quest of really delivering to customers' needs. This will cover a look at drivers of customer satisfaction and how that can be applied within B2B organisations, through to challenger customer champion brands whose entire philosophy is premised on the idea of delivering what consumers want.

Chair: Ben Hogg, managing director, EMEA, Research Now - Portfolio Companies
It's not business, it's personal
Jon Puleston, vice president innovation, Lightspeed GMI
Amy Cashman, TNS – MD Technology and Finance
B2B respondents are often treated as entirely rational beings, unaffected by emotion or personal ambitions in thier decision making. TNS shares research conducted amongst Small and Medium sized businesses about investment plans, future outlook, how they seek advice, whilst also looking at their perceptions of their own business – but from a more human perspective. In conjunction with Lightspeed GMI, TNS devised a business personality test to aim to segment different types of businesses in the same way as we have the big 5 personality traits in humans. For the first time, we'll look at this group firstly as human beings, rather than as business owners. We think the findings will surprise you.
I'm with the brand – Standing out from the research crowd
Lucy Davison, managing director, Keen As Mustard
Why is it that when the business suits go on, powerful emotional branding goes out of the window? This applies to us market researchers as b2b brands as much as anyone else. With so much choice available to clients looking for a research agency these days, what can business owners do make companies stand out and demand attention? In a world where research is increasingly becoming a commodity, Lucy will urge us to start behaving more like true brands with a clear and confident point of view so as to stand out from the crowd.

Topic. is it great, or is it just a better/worse ARX Buster?
It's amazing. Each shot does 500 damage and it shoots 3 at about the same rate as the arx, but the manual detonation makes it way better. You can kill mediums and lights almost instantly as well as create traps (near the generator or even on the flagstand, lol) that are capable of doing 1500 damage. When the trap is set you can cloak and wait there until someone walks by, and you don't even decloak when you detonate it.
It's even great at chasing enemy flag carriers, since you can fire it at the ground far in front of them and just detonate it as they pass over it.
It still feels OP after the last patch, but it's really fun to use ^.^ It's the best weapon in the game, IMO.
i3 540 / HIS 6850 1GB / 8GB GSkill 1333 / 80GB Intel SSD / 1TB WD Black / Z9+ Case /. Win7-Linux dual-boot
Is it better than the Arx buster at taking out structures?
It's a little weaker than the Arx for destroying the enemy base, since it does 100 less damage per shot and the shots drop off more (shorter range). Also the INF can't avoid turret fire while firing, unlike the raider with his jammer pack.

Spammy weapon for tards.
Sounds like EatShanna has been owned by a few INFs. :)
98% of people copy other people's signatures and paste it as their own.
If you are one of the 2% that doesn't, copy and paste this into your sig.
Not really.
Inf who use it are actually pretty easy to deal with.
Hell, thanks to the increase in INFs who think this new weapon means they don't have to use stealth anymore and can just spam stickies I've been getting more doubles and triples..
It's only a problem when you're preoccupied and someone sticks you from behind(gigity).
Like I said, spammy weapon for tards, any self respecting INF uses the stealth spinfusor. :)
From: EatShanna | #005
And the spinfusor isn't?
GT: Wonderwaffle407
Seems like an okay weapon. No more annoying to play against than the stealth spinfusor.
"If you're a Mass Effect fan then you have to be one of the biggest Hippocrates on earth. Have fun." - jnblz316
To answer your question yes, it obviously is worth it.
Best gun in the game on the easiest to play class in the game.

Gear Review
These are great shoes. The first thing I noticed was the comfort of the insole. I also like the mesh panels. I have a pair of similar style without the mesh panels. They allow a lot of airflow but do not have the mesh to keep out debris like the Techamphibian sandals do. These will be my primary shoes for summer.

Originally written on IT IS HIGH, IT IS FAR, IT IS caught | Last updated 11/11/14
Joba Chamberlain phoned the Youk - (from now on, to separate him from his previous incarnation, I'm calling upon the Yankiverse to refer to him as "the Youk) - to talk about old beanings and misunderstandings. When they finally meet, I hope a camera crew from the YES News Network will be there to document it. And I hope the two players are willing to have some fun.Joba could swipe his hand below the Youk's impressive second chin, as a gesture of the "music" that once played there. In turn, the Youk could flip an imaginary bat toward pitcher's mound and offer a fake staredown. Joba could then pretend to be angry at the Youk, and make a motion suggesting that his new lockermate STFU and go to firstbase like the fat slug that he is (jokingly, of course.) Playing along, the exuberant Youk would take a menacing step in Joba's direction and thump his chest, gorilla-like, totally messing with reporters' heads. The two could step nose-to-nose and - as The Master would say, "belly to belly"...

Warmer temperatures on Friday brought hopes of spring with young people and others relaxing and running through Liberty Park. Many Sedalians took advantage of the sunshine to walk, fish, play and shop.
Signs of life are evident with the first green sprouts of the delicate snow drop, a true harbinger of spring, and with the budding of a dogwood tree near Convention Hall at the park. The first day of spring is less than three weeks away, and with the beginning of daylight-saving time on Sunday an extra hour of sunshine will be added to the day helping flowers and trees to bloom.

Recordings of proceedings in the district court may only be used as authorized in this or other applicable rules or orders promulgated by the Supreme Court.
Any spoken words in the courtroom that are not a part of a proceeding, hearing or trial of a specific case are not intended to be recorded. Recordings of such words may not be listened to or used in any way other than by authorized operators of the recording equipment to orient themselves on recording content.
Playback of any part of the recording of a proceeding, hearing, or trial of a specific case is authorized in only the following situations:
(1) during the proceeding, hearing or trial at the direction of the court;
(2) by authorized operators of the recording equipment or an official court reporter or other authorized reporting service employee for the purpose of creating a transcript as the official record; and
(3) at the direction of the court for the use of the court.
Except as provided in part (c) of this rule, the contents of the recording shall be disseminated by transcript only, which transcript, and not the recording, shall be the official record.
Nothing in this rule shall permit the transcription of conciliation court proceedings, hearings or trials. Playback of any part of the recordings of conciliation court proceeding, hearing or trial is authorized only at the direction of the court for the use of the court.
(Amended effective July 1, 2005; amended effective July 1, 2007; amended effective March 1, 2008.)
The 2005 deletion of the word "temporary" in Rule 4, subd. 1(a), reflects statutory changes that allow the initial, ex parte order to be the permanent order of the court if no hearing is requested. See Minnesota Laws 1995, chapter 142, sections 4, 5 (amending Minnesota Statutes, section 518B.01, subds. 5, 7).
The 2005 reorganization of Rule 4, subd. 1, parts (d) and (f) is not substantive in nature. Trial level juvenile court proceedings that are not accessible to the public include adoption (Minnesota Statutes 2004, section 259.61; MINN. R. ADOPTION P. 8.01 (effective 1-1-2005), delinquency and extended jurisdiction juveniles (except where there are felony level charges and the juvenile was at least 16 years old at the time of the offense) (Minnesota Statutes 2004, section 260B.163, subd. 1(c); MINN. R. JUV. DEL. P. 2.01), and other proceedings closed to the public by order of the court on a case-by-case basis (see, e.g., MINN. R. JUV. PROT. P. 27.01 (permitting closure of child protection proceeding only in exceptional circumstances, and requiring public access to closure order)). If a trial level juvenile court proceeding is not accessible to the public, then Rule 4, subd. 1(d) precludes public access to the appellate records related to that proceeding except the written opinion of the appellate court or unless otherwise ordered by the court.
The 2005 addition of race records in Rule 4, subd. 1(e) is based on the understanding that race and ethnicity information is not solicited from participants for the purpose of reselling race status of individuals to commercial enterprises. The goal is to ensure fair resolution of cases, and the rule attempts to provide a limited right of public access consistent with that goal. Access to race records, e.g., for research purposes, can be obtained under a nondisclosure agreement that limits ultimate public disclosure to aggregate statistics that do not identify individual participants. The Supreme Court has a longstanding tradition of authorizing disclosure of juvenile court records for scholarly research using nondisclosure agreements. See, e.g., Order Authorizing Disclosure of Juvenile Court Database for Research Purposes, No. C4-85-1848 (Minn. S. Ct. filed May 14, 2001).
The substitution of a periodically updated list of inaccessible case records for the former Appendix B in Rule 4, subd. 1(f) recognizes that the state court administrator maintains an updated list of statutes (and court rules and other legal authority) that identify case records that are not accessible to the public. The list is updated as necessary, whereas the former Appendix B quickly became obsolete soon after it was first published. It is contemplated that the list will be posted on the main state court website (www.courts.state.mn.us) for access by the general public.
The 2005 changes to Rule 4, subd. 2, recognize that a number of rules address restrictive orders. The factors to consider in seeking a protective order in regard to criminal case records are discussed in Minn. R. Crim. P. 25, Minneapolis Star & Tribune v. Kammeyer, 341 N.W.2d 550 (Minn. 1983), and Northwest Publications, Inc. v. Anderson, 259 N.W.2d 254 (Minn. 1977). For civil cases, see Minn. R. Civ. P. 26.03 and Minneapolis Star & Tribune Co. v. Schumacher, 392 N.W.2d 197 (Minn. 1986). For child in need of protective services cases, see Minn. R. Juv. Prot. P. 8.07. For juvenile delinquency cases, see Minn. R. Juv. Del. P. 10.06 subd 5.
The 2007 addition of Rule 4, subd. 1(f), is designed to provide some privacy protection for genetic information about individuals. The definition of "genetic information" is based in part on the privacy law governing executive branch genetic information. Act of June 1, 2006, chapter 253, section 4, Minnesota Laws 2006 424, 426 (codified at Minnesota Statutes 2006, section 13.386). Genetic information can affect not only a party, witness or victim, but also his or her genetic relatives. Courts and parties need to consider the scope of this information when admitting and offering to admit such information into evidence. Rule 4, subd. 2, recognizes that, when necessary, protective orders can be issued under applicable procedural rules. The factors to consider in seeking a protective order in regard to criminal case records are discussed in Minn. R. Crim. P. 25, Minneapolis Star & Tribune v. Kammeyer, 341 N.W.2d 550 (Minn. 1983), and Northwest Publications, Inc. v. Anderson, 259 N.W.2d 254 (Minn. 1977). For civil cases, see Minn. R. Civ. P. 26.03 and Minneapolis Star & Tribune v. Schumacher, 392 N.W.2d 197 (Minn. 1986).
The 2008 addition of Rule 4, subd. 1(e)(2), is designed to recognize that race data is routinely disclosed to parties as part of juror profile information for purposes of voir dire.
The 2008 addition of Rule 4, subd. 3, is based in part on Il. 18th Cir. R. 1.03. Rule 4, subd. 3, attempts to clarify the application of the Rules to recordings of testimony in light of Supreme Court policy limiting audio and video coverage of trial court proceedings, and to clarify the proper scope and role of recordings in preparing and preserving the official record.
The broad definition of "records" in Rule 3, subd. 1, appears to include recordings of court proceedings, but arguably may not include court reporter's notes. Assuming that recordings are included, it is not clear whether recordings would then be subject to the work product exception to public access (Rule 4, subd. 1(c)) or the presumption of public access (Rule 2). Assuming the presumption applies, public access creates significant administrative burdens, unresolved issues regarding what constitutes the official record, and conflicts with the Supreme Court's policy limiting audio and video coverage of trial court proceedings. Minn. Gen. R. Prac. 4; Mn. Code Jud. Conduct Canon 3A(11); Minn. S. Ct. Order, In Re Modification of Section 3A(10) of the Minnesota Code of Judicial Conduct, # C7-81-300 (filed Jan. 11, 1996) (reinstating experimental program for audio and video coverage of trial court proceedings). Although the conflict might be partially reduced by permitting public access but no public dissemination of copies of the recordings, this conflicts with the policy in Rule 2 permitting both inspection and copying. Rule 4, subd. 3, provides a straightforward resolution of all conflicts and it includes controlled playback access in appropriate circumstances.
Rule 4, subd. 3(a), recognizes that the transcript is the official record and that recordings are intended to support the creation of that record. Use of recordings is limited as provided in the rule or in other rules or orders promulgated by the Supreme Court.
Rule 4, subd. 3(b), recognizes that courtroom microphones may inadvertently pick up conversation that is intended to be protected by the attorney client privilege or is simply intended to be private conversation. The rule does not permit public access to portions of recordings that contain this material.
The controlled playback access in Rule 4, subd. 3(c), reflects what typically occurs in practice. To the extent that any abuses occur, actions of the court in controlling playback are subject to appellate review. See, e.g., Blanchard v. Golden, No. C8-95-2390 (Minn. App. filed Feb. 29, 1996) (unpublished interim order) (denying appellant's motion for correction of transcript where trial court provided opportunity to listen to backup tape).
Rule 4, subd. 3(e), reflects the requirement of Minn. Gen. R. Prac. 504(c) which provides that conciliation court proceedings and trials shall not be reported. Judges presiding in conciliation court often use recordings to supplement their notes. Access to the recordings of conciliation court proceedings, hearings or trials is treated in the same manner as judge's notes under Rule 4, subd.1(c), and their playback is subject to the control of the court.
Rule 4, subd. 3, does not address the procedures for requesting and obtaining transcripts, or for correcting or modifying the same. These matters are addressed in other appropriate rules and statutes. See, e.g., Minn. R. Civ. App. P. 110; Minn. R. Crim. P. 28.02, subds. 8, 9; Minnesota Statutes 2006, sections 486.02 to 486.03.

On August 1, 2000, Philadelphia police rounded up seventy-five activists inside a West Philadelphia warehouse. It was the second day of the Republican National Convention, and the activists had been making papier-mâché puppets, which they planned to use during street demonstrations. The Philadelphia district attorney ultimately charged the activists with a slew of misdemeanors, including conspiracy to obstruct the law and resisting arrest. These self-anointed puppetistas were kept in jail until after the Republicans had dropped the last of their balloons from the First Union Center rafters.
Ultimately, charges against all the puppet makers were dismissed. Last summer more than a third of them sued the city over alleged violations of their civil rights. They assumed their cases would be strong enough to net not only substantial cash payments but significant reform in the police department. Now it looks like they'll be getting neither.
The reason, they say, is the unusually aggressive tactics of the law firm representing the city in these cases. Hangley Aronchick Segal & Pudlin attempted to depose plaintiffs' lawyers, arguing that they encouraged protesters to engage in civil disobedience, get themselves arrested and clog the city's jails. The firm has subpoenaed activists' address books, personal tax records and entire computer hard drives. Its lawyers hired investigators to question former spouses and flew across the country to interrogate witnesses.
About twenty-seven civil suits stemming from puppet warehouse arrests are now being settled out of court. A transcript from a June 18 hearing spells out the details of the agreement for twenty-four of the cases, which have been consolidated under Traci Franks v. the City of Philadelphia. It says that plaintiffs agree to accept $72,000, which will be divvied up between two nonprofit groups: the Spiral Q Puppet Theater and Books Through Bars. The figure was derived by awarding $3,000 to each of the twenty-four plaintiffs. (Separate settlements are being negotiated for the suits filed by warehouse owner Michael Graves and two other activists.)
In July the Traci Franks file was sealed, and a gag order forbids any of the parties involved from discussing details. But whatever the final dollar amount ends up being, the settlement agreement won't drain city coffers of a dime because it's all covered by insurance.
The host committee for the RNC, a group of high-profile Philadelphians, paid $100,000 for an insurance policy seven months prior to the convention. The policy specifically covers up to $3 million for personal injury arising from claims of false arrest and wrongful imprisonment, malicious prosecution and violation of civil rights. The insurer, Lexington Insurance Company in Boston, hired Hangley Aronchick to handle the civil suits. During the June 18 hearing Hangley Aronchick attorney David Wolfsohn implied that the insurance carrier may even be able to claim a tax deduction for contributing the $72,000 settlement to charity.
Many activists agreed to settle because they fear that turning over more e-mails and meeting minutes to city attorneys could compromise future legal protests, should documents wind up in government hands. They also decided to throw in the towel when it became clear the city would not agree to a reform of police procedures. In this post-September 11 world, law enforcement agencies are expanding their scope, not narrowing it.
People embarked on these suits to get injunctive relief, says Kris Hermes, a member of for the R2K Legal Collective. Because that wasn't happening, there was less incentive to carry on.
Plus, plaintiffs are doubtful a jury would be sympathetic to political dissenters, given the current political climate. "There is a deep desire on the part of many Americans to see police officers as the bulwark protecting them, and they don't want to confront anything indicating officers have the power to abuse us," says Pennsylvania ACLU legal director Stefan Presser.
But the biggest obstacle is that the activists' attorneys want out as quickly as possible. They accepted the puppetista cases on contingency fees, and they simply can't keep pace with a major law firm eager to rack up billable hours.
Angus Love, director of the Pennsylvania Institutional Law Project, was subpoenaed and deposed by Hangley Aronchick because he worked as a legal observer during the RNC. He says the city usually does a half-assed job of litigating these cases. "But now we have a private law firm that is used to a higher level of attack," Love says. Wolfsohn is going after political protesters as if they were right-wing terrorists.
Attorneys on both sides of the lawsuits, as well as Philadelphia officials, declined to comment for this story. At the time of the warehouse raid, however, Mayor John Street was vocal on the subject. As hundreds of criminal charges were being processed on August 2, 2000, Street told reporters that he fully expected the city to be sued. "But we expect that we will defend the city.... We will defend our police department to the Supreme Court if necessary," he said.
Presser was among the attorneys Hangley Aronchick had hoped to depose. He characterizes the request as extremely unusual, noting only one similar situation during his twenty years of practicing law. Hangley Aronchick has also subpoenaed people ranging from well-known activists to plaintiffs' relatives.
Matthew Hart, the director of the Spiral Q Puppet Theater, was ordered to turn over all his e-mails, date books and phone records. He characterizes his oral deposition as bizarre and perfunctory.
"Attorneys for the city inferred this massive conspiracy that I don't even think the people involved had the capacity to pull off," Hart says. "I think their biggest intention was to move as slowly as possible and bill more hours."
Traci Schlesinger, the lead plaintiff in the consolidated suit, says her deposition brought to mind the McCarthy era.
"It seemed as though he hoped to prove I was an anarchist, and then it would be legitimate for police to arrest me," Schlesinger says.
Mike Dolan, one of the principal organizers of the "Battle of Seattle" three years ago, returned in late August--with Jim Hightower's Rolling Thunder DownHome Democracy Tour--to a changed city. As he juggled cell phones from the stage in Seattle's Petrovisky Park, near the burial site of Jimi Hendrix, Dolan noticed there was no tear gas this time, only sunshine.
There were still dirty tricksters hanging up posters on Broadway, the heart of radical Seattle, warning people to stay home because there was no parking at the event, but 5,000 people turned out, to reflect on the movement they launched at the World Trade Organization conclave in 1999.
The world of BS--"before Seattle"--was a dizzying can-do era of overnight millionaires with fantasies of wiring the planet in a grid of greed. Then came the protests, the greatest civil disobedience of the era, with thousands of people teaching the masters of the universe that they could no longer conduct business as usual, and the fantasy world began to shudder.
With dot.coms bombing and Boeing going, Seattle has lost its artificial luster, returning to the status of a lovely, cultured city instead of the mecca of a global kingdom. Corporate sway over the economy lost its sex appeal when the Nasdaq fell 355 points on a single March day in 2000, Bill Gates lost $10 billion in a week and 25,000 workers were laid off in the software sector. There was the campaign that coerced the public into voting to subsidize the local baseball stadium, and the team's star, Ken Griffey Jr., left anyway. In the same period, Boeing chose the global economy over loyalty to its hometown and announced it was headquartering in Chicago, downsizing production and relocating plants to places like Mexico, China and Malaysia. Even the pump-priming boondoggle of the war on terrorism couldn't save them from the grim morning-after logic of globalization.
Seattle might have salvaged a new identity by taking pride in the rough birth of the movement against corporate globalization on its streets in 1999, rooted in the militant Northwest populist and labor traditions that Hightower's tour echoes today, but the local legacy of that "people's history" remains contested and unclear. Shortly after the confrontations, the police chief resigned. An anti-WTO member of the King County Board of Supervisors was defeated. Mayor Paul Schell never fully recovered from that week, and was defeated for re-election last year under the growing cloud of civic malaise. On the other hand, state representative Velma Veloria who hosted progressive legislators during the WTO protests, is running for re-election this fall, and Nick Licata, who helped house and protect the protestors, remains an energetic force on the City Council. Both Veloria and Licata attended the rally in Petrovisky Park in high spirits. Veloria, in response to Seattle 1999, has formed a legislative oversight committee on the adverse impact of trade agreements on Washington State. (Nation readers who wish to support Velma Veloria should contact her at email@example.com.)
One of those returning to interpret the continuing "Battle of Seattle" was Lori Wallach, the indefatigable, street-talking Harvard trade lawyer who coordinates fair-trade lobbying and activism at cyclone speed from her offices at Global Trade Watch in Washington, DC. Wallach has molded herself into one of the more dangerous enemies of the WTO on the planet, able to wipe out corporate lobbyists in television debates, maintain a laser-accurate understanding of thousands of pages of trade regulations, knit together international alliances, forge and hold together aliances on the left and right, and inspire hope for political reform, while scheming, if necessary, to "ratfuck" her enemies, a term she learned somewhere in the underworld of the planet's largest corporations.
Wallach is not entirely heartened by developments since Seattle 1999, citing the rise of internal disputes over "sectarianism" and "egoism" since the movement reached prime time. The emphasis on localism, and its philosophical corollary of anarchism, limits her role as a prime mover and shaker, while critiques of the whiteness of the movement makes alliance-building both essential and difficult. The alienation of many activists from electoral politics robs political victories, like the recent campaign finance reforms, of their potential energizing potency. The fallout from Ralph Nader's presidential campaign, combined with the failure of most Democrats to break cleanly from the corporate agenda, suggests a treacherous electoral future.
Nevertheless, Wallach is in fine form on this fine day, telling the audience that "Seattle" has become an international code word for the progressive spirit of the American people. When American diplomats and apologists argue with overseas audiences that globalization is good, she says, they are often rebuffed by foreign nationals who simply reply, "Seattle," as evidence that Americans themselves do not agree with the policies their government is trying to impose on other countries.
But, she notes, "the empire has struck back," through strenuous US attempts to cast the Seattle protests as "a fluke." The corporatists will try to make globalization seem as "inevitable as the moon's pull on the tides," but Wallach claims that it is "totally doable to take back what's ours" and that the corporate lobbyists "know what we need to know, that it's all a house of cards."
As evidence, she tells the story, hardly described in the mainstream media, of the Bush Administration's extraordinary efforts to squeeze out a three-vote-margin victory for its "fast track" trade authority in the House of Representatives on July 17. Trumpeted by Bush and the corporate media as an empowering victory for the free trade agenda, Wallach says that "what it took to get 'fast track' through was such an amazing flouting of Congressional rules that it showed our power." The fair trade movement had succeeded, by normal Washington standards, in stifling the Administration's "fast track" campaign until the President himself came to Capitol Hill trolling for votes, knocking on doors and making political horse-trades.
That wasn't enough, however. The House leadership held a closed nocturnal hearing to approve a "conceptual" 300-page bill, employing a rule reserved for occasions of martial law. There were no public hearings and no printing of the bill. Instead, it was e-mailed to House members with a link and set for a vote within twenty-four hours, effectively demobilizing the opposition and flaunting any pretense of an open, democratic process. When the House vote took place, and the Administration's forces still fell short, the leadership declared the clock irrelevent and continued making secret deals with holdout representatives until the three-vote margin was achieved. "It just shows how fragile they are," said Wallach, reminding the crowd to "spank" Washington State Democrats like Adam Smith and Rick Larsen, and "thank" representatives who kept their word to oppose fast track.
Undaunted, Wallach told the crowd to gear up for "Nafta on steroids," the Administration's plan to create a thirty-one-country "free trade" zone in the Americas and expand the WTO, culminating in the September 2003 WTO trade round in Cancun, Mexico. The corporate agenda there will aim to eliminate labor, environmental and public interest regulations across Central and Latin America as well as to privatize services like education, healthcare and water access. These so-called nontariff trade barriers represent protections of the public interest that have been created through years of struggle, thus widening the potential anti-WTO coalition to include, for example, schoolteachers, city officials, municipal water systems and other utilities, and construction workers worried about prevailing wage laws.
Recent events in Latin America along with corporate scandals in this country, Wallach thinks, "show that our analysis has been right." For example, Argentina was "the poster child, the model" of the corporate globalizers, but it now lies in ruins, the victim of International Monetary Fund policies which included demands that Argentina repeal its curbs on bankers who funnel money out of the country on the grounds "that the law chilled the investment climate there." The crisis is spawning new resistance movements as well, like the successful Bolivian "water war," which has blocked a government plan to sell its water rights to the Bechtel corporation. The spread of sweatshops and maquiladoras has peasant organizers conspiring and resistance mounting from southern Mexico to Central America.
"This trade stuff didn't get handed down by God like they think. If it doesn't work, it's time to throw it out and take back what is ours. The only way they can win is by our remaining calm," Wallach finishes. The crowd in Petrovisky Park gets the message, deeply and clearly. The spirit of Seattle is alive, carried in Wallach's words and, more important, in the confidence and memory of the crowd, in their commitment to vote, march, organize, campaign. As she spoke and they responded, it seemed to me that Seattle deserves a monument to the 1999 protests to reflect its progressive heart alongside the empty glory of the Space Needle, the Boeing hangars and the stadium that Junior left behind.
After all, I recalled, King County was persuaded to change its name to Martin Luther King Jr. County. Why not a monument to the Battle of Seattle in this city of the failed dotcom and defense contractor dreams? Someday perhaps, but for now the living monument of its creative, committed activist community will have to do.

I think I have an Easter goodies hangover.
My mom makes the most ridiculously delicious baked beans. Basically, what she does is take a couple of cans of baked beans and adds 1 1/2 packages (count them) of bacon that she cooks and crumbles. Then she adds in cooked onions, garlic powder, a good squeeze of ketchup and lets the whole things cook together on the stove top for a while. It is ridiculous!
I wish sometimes I were one of those people who could add 1 1/2 packages of bacon to something I'm cooking and not think there's something naughty about it.
But I should be glad I'm not the kind of person who does that, my waistline would not be very happy with me.
However, I am the kind of person who at holiday meal says to myself, "I never eat stuff like this at home, so it's okay if I have second and thirds and fourths, it's allll goood!"
Plus I'm pretty sure that in my household of four I ranked second when it came to who ate the most Easter candy.
I felt the need to atone for my evil ways today.

Sisters Bike Trail -
The trail consists of a short and long loop that are marked with brown and white bike path signs. It crosses a number of dirt roads, so it is important that users pay close attention to the trail markers to avoid confusion. Some of these roads are still in use; use caution when crossing them. Eagle Rock Loop: Five and one half miles. The first 1/4 mile off the pavement winds through uneven terrain with some rocky areas. The terrain levels as the trail proceeds through an area of thinned trees that provides some good opportunities to observe wildlife. After 1.7 miles, the trail crosses a small wooden bridge. This is where the loop itself intersects. You may proceed either direction, but the remainder of the trail description follows the right fork.
The area surrounding this section of the trail is very open and manzanita bushes grow along the trail. At 2.05 miles the trail goes to the left and parallels Squaw Creek canal. The short and long loop intersection is at approximately 2.65 miles where the trail crosses Squaw Creek. Continue left to complete the short loop and return to Sisters. Peterson Ridge Loop: This loop corresponds directly with the first 2.5 miles of the Eagle Rock Loop until you reach the Squaw Creek Canal Bridge. Cross the bridge and follow the trail along the south side of the canal. Watch for intersecting rock formations and old growth juniper in the next mile of trail. As the trail starts to climb, mountain views open to the west. It is approximately 3 miles further to the loop intersection. The loop may be traveled in either direction- it is 2.1 miles around.
Directions from Sisters: The trailhead is located at the Village Green Park in Sisters. To get to the park, turn south on Elm Street (forest road 16) off of Highway 20. Proceed down Elm Street for approximately one quarter mile and turn into the parking area on the left. Public restrooms and drinking water are located in the park.

Maryland Basketball Player Dez Wells Files Lawsuit Against Xavier
by Anthony Caruso on August 26, 2013
A new lawsuit against NCAA school Xavier University by a former basketball player
may challenge universities' legal grounds for the expulsion of athletes in the future.
Former Xavier guard Dez Wells - who now plays basketball for Maryland - is suing the
school for damages, claiming that his expulsion from the university in 2012 over
allegations of sexual assault destroyed his reputation. The prosecutor who investigated
the case not only declined to charge Wells, but noted that the allegation "didn't reach
anything close to a standard of proof" and "should never have gotten to the point where
someone's reputation is ruined." After he transferred to Maryland, the The NCAA also
made a rare sports law decision to grant Wells immediate eligibility to play, rather
than forcing him sit out a season as is customary with most transfers.
As the allegations were never proven in any legal atmosphere and Wells was never
formally charged, the grounds of his expulsion and the potential reputational damage that may follow are being called into question. Wells is requesting that the expulsion be
reversed and noted that the school "violated its own policies" when they dismissed him,
according to Yahoo Sports. In a statement, Wells said he has been "publicly humiliated,
and felt ashamed, emotionally distraught, and violated."

3 teens arrested after Calif. girl's suicide
SARATOGA, Calif. Eight days after being sexually assaulted while passed out at a party, and then humiliated by online photos, 15-year-old Audrie Pott posted on Facebook that her life was ruined, "worst day ever," and hanged herself, the family's lawyer said.
For the next eight months, her family struggled to figure out what happened to their soccer loving, artistic, horse crazy daughter, whose gentle smile, long dark hair and shining eyes belied a struggling soul.
And then on Thursday, seven months after the tragedy, a California sheriff's office arrested three 16-year-old boys on suspicion of sexual battery. The arrests "reopened a wound" for family members of Pott, and they have gone into seclusion, family attorney Robert Allard said.
"The family has been trying to understand why their loving daughter would have taken her life at such a young age and to make sure that those responsible would be held accountable," Allard said.
"After an extensive investigation that we have conducted on behalf of the family, there is no doubt in our minds that the victim, then only 15 years old, was savagely assaulted by her fellow high school students while she lay on a bed completely unconscious," he said.
Allard said students used cell phones to share photos of the assaults and the images went viral.
Santa Clara County sheriff's Lt. Jose Cardoza said two of the teens were arrested at Saratoga High School and the third, a former Saratoga High student, at Christopher High School in Gilroy. The names of the suspects were not released because they are minors. Details about the assault were also not released.
Cardoza said the suspects were booked into juvenile hall and face two felonies and one misdemeanor each.
The lieutenant said the arrests were the result of information gathered by his agency's Saratoga High School resource officers. He said the investigation is ongoing, and Los Gatos police also continue looking into the girl's September suicide.
The Associated Press does not routinely identify victims of sexual assault. But in this case, Pott's family wanted her name and case known, Allard said. The family also provided a photo to the AP.
The girl's family members have not commented and have requested privacy until a planned news conference Tuesday. Her father and step-mother, Lawrence and Lisa Pott, along with her mother Sheila Pott, have started the Audrie Pott Foundation to provide music and art scholarships and offer youth counseling and support.
The foundation website alludes to the teen's struggles, but until now neither law enforcement, school officials nor family have discussed the sexual assault.
"She was compassionate about life, her friends, her family, and would never do anything to harm anyone," the site says. "She was in the process of developing the ability to cope with the cruelty of this world but had not quite figured it all out.
"Ultimately, she had not yet acquired the antibiotics to deal with the challenges present for teens in today's society."
Two days after Pott died, fellow students and staff at Saratoga High School wore her favorite color, teal, in her honor.

Gunman holding firefighters killed; 4 hostages OK
A spokeswoman for Gwinnett Medical Center said Wednesday night that five firefighters and a police officer were treated at the hospital and all were in good condition. A couple firefighters had already been released, and it was expected that all of the firefighters would be going home Wednesday night.
"In talking to the firefighters and their families just now, they're relieved," the fire department's Rutledge said Wednesday evening at the same briefing, according to video posted by WSB-TV.

This was the second time in recent months that firefighters have been targeted.

-- Robert Spencer, author of The Politically Incorrect Guide to Islam (and the Crusades)
"Her writing is eloquent and her passion tremendous"
--Publishers Weekly
"Brigitte Gabriel eloquently reminds America what is truly at stake in this struggle against terrorism: our families, our way of life, and our hopes. Ms. Gabriel's personal account of her own experience is riveting, compelling and spellbinding. This is a must read for the entire American public . . . Because They Hate contains monumental revelations that will shock and disturb you. But it is also a story of an indomitable spirit--Brigitte's-- that will move you."
--Steve Emerson, author of American Jihad: The Terrorists Living Amongst Us, Executive Director, the Investigative Project on Terrorism
"[Brigitte Gabriel's] writing is a critical wake-up call to Americans as we face the threat of takeover by jihadists. We are glad to be able to help her share her story with God-fearing, patriotic Americans who care about the truth and want to learn about the threat every nation throughout the world is facing from radical Islam."
--Paul F. Crouch, Jr., Vice President of Administration, Trinity Broadcasting Network
"A compelling and captivating personal story with a powerful lesson about threats to freedom in our time."

--The Tampa Tribune
"Gabriel makes her case, but also offers a sound and powerful program of what we have to do as a nation and as individuals to stave off defeat by radical Islam."
--The Bulletin
"Gabriel believes the West is complacent about the threat posed by radical Islam. She learned while growing up Christian in Lebanon that Islamofascists are serious—and if we want to survive we better take them seriously. She speaks with the passion of a survivor who has seen death and destruction firsthand—and doesn't want America to suffer the same future as Lebanon."

Vincenzo Bellini
Vincenzo Bellini (vēnchān´tsō bĕl-lē´nē), 1801–35, Italian opera composer. He acquired his musical training from his grandfather and father, and began composing religious and secular music in his childhood. His first opera, Adelson e Salvini, was successfully performed in 1825. His most celebrated works are the operas La Sonnambula and Norma (both 1831). In their profusely melodic style they exemplify the bel canto tradition of the 18th cent., and their roles demand great virtuosity of the singers. Bellini's last opera, I Puritani (1835), was influenced by the dramatic style of French grand opera. Unlike that of his immediate predecessors, Rossini and Donizetti, his operatic output was small. It was characterized by careful composition, great attention to the relationship between words and music, and an originality of harmony that gave rise to his music's sensual, ecstatic quality. He greatly influenced the work of Verdi.

Farmers may consider prevented planting rules
The prevented planted rules with the Farm Service Agency has not changed much in thelast several years. Officials said the same situation may be a reality for 2013.
Corn planting has really not even started due to frequent rains the area has been receiving. Tunica County has been receiving a rain around every four days. The final date to plant corn, according to Crop Insurance is April 25, 2013. "This does not give everyone much time since we are already in April," said Tunica County's Farm Service Agency Director Darryl Waller.

PETALING JAYA: It was a mixture of nostalgia and amazement when golden couple Suria FM chief operating officer Engku Emran Engku Zainal Abidin and his actress/singer wife Erra Fazira visited the Changing Malaysia 51st National Day photo exhibition.
Erra was reminded of her 70-year-old grandmother when she saw the photo of a man watering his little garden right next to his house.
"Back then, my mother and I lived in Ampang and my grandmother used to come by and plant all kinds of vegetables.
"It seemed odd initially to have an old-fashioned garden next to the modern brick house, but once the vegetables grew and could be eaten, we had no complaints," said Erra at the exhibition in 1 Utama shopping mall yesterday.
Engku Emran pointed to his favourite band, Hujan, in one of the photos which reflected the progress of local music scene.
"My favourite song by them is still their first single, Bila Aku Sudah Tiada. I still remember when that song first played on Suria FM," he said.
Another photo of a free-spirited boy and his group of friends playing football in the field also caught his attention.
"The boy's satisfaction was captured well in the photo," said the avid Manchester United fan.
Asked on how she would be spending National Day, Erra said that although her husband would not be in town, she would still celebrate the day when the mood was right.
"I'm not really the type that goes out to Dataran Merdeka for the countdown, but when I'm in the mood for celebrating, I will drive past in my car with windows rolled down and shout 'Merdeka! Merdeka!" she said enthusiastically.
She added that the national flag would be a permanent fixture on her car, to which Engku Emran replied: "She's even more patriotic than I am."
Erra, who is in the midst of recording a new album, also commented that the exhibition was a good effort by The Star as it represented the country perfectly.
Lecturer Zarina Zawawi, 29, who was also at the exhibition, said that she brought her mother to visit for the second time.
"I really like this photograph of four Malay women walking along the streets of Kuala Lumpur, with different ways of covering their hair, from the traditional tudung to a trendy cap.
"It reflects how our differences bind us together at the end of the day," said the mother of two.
The Changing Malaysia photo exhibition, which showcases over 160 images of the Malaysian way of life, will be held until Sept 7 at Highstreet, Ground Floor, 1 Utama shopping mall.
Also available are books published by Star Publications Bhd which are sold at a 20% discount from 12pm to 8pm only at the exhibition.

FACTS & STATS: Site: McAlister Field House (6,000) -- Charleston, South Carolina. Television: None. Home Record: CofC 6-5, The Citadel 3-5. Away Record: CofC 5-0, The Citadel 0-6. Neutral Record: CofC 0-0, The Citadel 0-0. Conference Record: CofC 3-1, The Citadel 0-4. Series Record: College of Charleston leads, 49-39.
GAME NOTES: Sporting a perfect 5-0 record on the road so far this season, the College of Charleston Cougars face another Southern Conference test on Monday night, as they clash with the Bulldogs of The Citadel at McAlister Field House.
Not only is Charleston undefeated on the road in 2012-13, the team is also off to a 3-1 start in conference play as well. Over the weekend, the Cougars completely dominated Chattanooga at home in an 86-59 final, marking the team's sixth victory in the last seven contests.
The Bulldogs showed some early promise this season with three wins in four tries, although only one of those came against another Division I program. Since then the squad has dropped 10 straight decisions, the latest coming on Saturday night versus the Samford Bulldogs in a 69-65 final at home.
In terms of the all-time series, the Cougars own a 49-39 advantage over The Citadel, winning four straight and five of the last six encounters. The Bulldogs have won just three times since 2003.
Anthony Stitt scored a game-high 20 points, leading five players in double figures, as the College of Charleston crushed the Chattanooga Mocs by 27 points in a Southern Conference matchup at TD Arena on Saturday. Adjehi Baru and Willis Hall both tallied 13 points for the Cougars, combining for 17 rebounds as well, while Trent Wiedeman and Anthony Thomas dropped in 11 points apiece, the latter tying Baru for the rebounding lead with nine as the team won the rebounding battle overall, 46-32. While he has missed a pair of games, Lawrence is listed as the top scorer for the program with 13.4 ppg, although he has the same overall point total (188) as Stitt who is averaging 11.8 ppg . The pair has also combined for 114 assists, with many of those surely going to Baru (10.0 ppg) who has more than likely created several of his own shot opportunities thanks to 46 offensive rebounds, part of his 9.1 rpg overall.
Before playing even with Samford in the second half of their meeting over the weekend, the Bulldogs of The Citadel turned the ball over 10 times through the first 20 minutes of action, leaving them four points behind which is where they ended up at the final buzzer. Matt Van Scyoc was the leading scorer for the hosts with 19 points, hitting 4-of-9 shots from behind the 3-point line, followed by Marshall Harris III who tallied 12 points, seven assists and four steals, while P.J. Morgan tacked on 11 points off the bench. In addition to Van Scyoc who is averaging 10.9 ppg, the other double-digit scorer for the Bulldogs is Mike Groselle (13.9 ppg) who is also the top man on the glass with 7.6 rpg. Unfortunately, this is a group that continues to have trouble slowing down the competition, giving up 75.1 ppg.
Based on the team's success on the road and in this series, not to mention the beating it put on Chattanooga over the weekend, expect to see the Cougars cruise to another win on Monday night.
Sports Network Predicted Outcome: College of Charleston 81, The Citadel 61
