HSBC "lift" by Grey London
Agency: Grey London
Rating: 5.0
By John Reynolds, campaignlive.co.uk, Monday, 07 January 2013 09:01AM
The campaign, created by Billington Cartmell, will run for five weeks. The creative is based in the Ella's Kitchen world and introduces each of the company's product ranges by highlighting their benefits.
The ad adopts the brand's fun and "kids first" approach, and features its latest key product launches – the first range of baby cereals and dairy products.
It features images of babies, selected via a competition on social media channels, enjoying Ella's Kitchen foods. Parents were asked why, "My baby should be in #EllasTVad because...", and respond in the most creative way.
The company will also launch a Facebook campaign on 16 January, in which parents will have the opportunity to upload footage of their own baby into the ad. The activity will be supported by Facebook advertising and encourages parents to share the ad with friends, for the chance to win Ella's Kitchen products.

Yamaha Working to Keep Trails Open
We join Yamaha for a day of trail maintenance
Story by Corry Weller, Photography by Adam Campbell, May. 05, 2010
In its ongoing effort to ensure that our public lands remain open to OHV use now and in the future, Yamaha Motor Corp, USA has taken initiative over the past few years in the form of several programs that are near and dear to this major OEMs heart. Programs such as the OHV Access Initiative have become widely popular with many states in the country, as enthusiasts take advantage of Yamahas grant program to make improvements to their riding areas and do what needs to be done in order to ensure future areas remain open to OHV access.
To help share these programs with the public, Yamaha recently invited its employees, families and members of the media up to Lake Arrowhead, Calif., located in the popular and beautiful San Bernardino National Forest. The SBNF is a playground to over 23 million Southern Californians, and there are over 15 million people who recreate annually in the beautiful forests located just hours from Los Angeles. For the second year in a row, almost 100 volunteers spent their weekend involved in two separate, but equally important efforts spearheaded by Yamaha and USFS (US Forest Service)/SBNF volunteers.
Yamaha OHV Access Initiative Program
The Yamaha OHV Access Initiative program (Yamaha OHV Access Information) was developed as a proactive, grassroots effort that is supported by Yamaha dealers and their customers across the country, promoting safe, responsible riding and sustainable, open riding areas.
Throughout the development of this program, Yamaha has forged a strong partnership with the SBNF and the USFS, which has resulted in Yamaha not only participating in cleanups and other projects, but also adopting miles of trails and various staging area projects in the San Bernardino National Forest as well.
As members of the media, we were invited to come out and experience, first hand, exactly what is involved in a program like this. Working alongside SBNF volunteers and Yamaha employees, we spent an entire day clearing trails that had grown over, cleaning up adopted staging areas as well as ensuring that no new, un-approved trails were allowed to develop. Armed with clippers, shovels, rakes and assorted tools, different groups tackled a list of projects that the SBNF hoped we could get done before the end of the day.
As we worked along some of the more popular trails, it was a good feeling to actually be doing something to support the areas that allow us to do what we love so much. Many riders we encountered on the trails throughout the day waved and thanked us for the job we were doing, and perhaps they went home with the idea to do their part at some point in the future.
Its obvious that the forest service volunteers are passionate about what they do, and its also apparent that they appreciate Yamahas dedication and involvement in preserving their public lands. Thanks were given several times throughout the weekend with a final thank you resulting in an award presented to Mike Martinez, Yamahas general manager of ATV & SxS Operations, and everyone at Yamaha for their help throughout the years. It was apparent to everyone in attendance over the weekend that the partnership between Yamaha and the SBNF is something that is highly valued by both parties involved.
While the time and effort of Yamahas employees is valuable to the program, the Yamaha OHV Access Initiative also supports a number of other projects that directly and positively impact OHV access including maintaining trail signage and information kiosks in many areas, trail mapping and map production, Adopt a Trail OHV programs and land stewardship.
Big Bear Tree Planting Effort
For the second year in a row, Yamaha employees and families were also invited to participate in the efforts to replant many of the burned out areas in the San Bernardino National Forest particularly the forest areas located near the ever-popular Big Bear Lake.
Armed with the proper tools for planting the seedlings and having received personal instruction on how to care for the seedlings correctly, volunteers dispersed around the area near the Big Bear Discovery Center, looking for their assigned planting areas for the day. Small groups of families and co-workers dotted the burnt out hillsides in every direction, getting their hands dirty and doing their best to space their seedlings out effectively between the charred remains of what was once a beautiful forest.
Working in partnership with members of the TreePeople, a Los Angeles-based environmental non-profit group, and the SBNF, over 90 Yamaha employees and family members worked hard on Sunday to reach a record number of seedlings to be planted a total of 2,250 trees in one day! Over the last two years, Yamaha employees and family members have planted over 3,400 seedlings in burned areas of the San Bernardino National Forest.
Do Your Part
As a valuable part of the OHV community, any rider or motorsports enthusiast can help keep public riding areas open in their area by riding responsibly and escalating their participation in their own state by taking advantage of programs like Yamahas OHV Access Initiative. By determining the particular needs in their own riding area and submitting a properly filled out, well thought out grant application for consideration, enthusiasts can take advantage of funding to help their own riding areas.
A great example of the type of projects these grants support can be found in the Astoria District in Oregon, where an application was submitted for $15,000 for a clear-cut project that would result in the building of eight bridges over fish-bearing streams to alleviate some of the serious resource damage, which had caused several area closures and restrictions in the area. The grant was awarded, and to date, two of the eight bridges have been completed and the project is serving as a case study for future trail management projects.
In addition to any of these programs that have been initiated and effectively utilized, every rider can do their part to contribute to the preservation of our riding areas on a regular basis by simply following the suggestions below, which can be found on Yamahas website at http://www.yamaha-motor.com/.
|Responsible Rider Checklist
|- Learn and follow all of your local riding area and national forest laws and regulations including sound levels, safety gear requirements, age limits and safety course recommendations and requirements.
|- Use up-to-date local travel and trail maps to assure you only ride in permitted areas and on designated open trails.
|- Inspect and clean your vehicle before moving to a new location to remove seeds, weeds and other vegetation and prevent the transfer of non-native invasive species.
|- Follow your vehicle manufacturers recommended maintenance schedule and regularly check for any fluid leaks or problems that might negatively impact the environment or your vehicles performance.
|- Set a positive example, especially when riding in the presence of younger or less experienced riders, and always leave your riding area in better shape than when you found it.
|- Be aware of animal habitat including streams, food sources and nesting areas, and stay off sensitive terrain.
|- Watch out for, and be considerate of, others in the area including private property owners, hunters, hikers, campers, horseback riders and other off-road vehicle riders.
|- Never chase or harass animals from your off-road vehicle, and never hunt or shoot a firearm from your vehicle.

All sorts of neglected flowers and wild weeds grew between their stems, covering the walls of this summer parlor with the prettiest tapestry. A board, propped on two blocks of wood, stood in the middle of the walk, covered with a little plaid shawl much the worse for wear, and on it a miniature tea-service was set forth with great elegance.
Author Bio
Louisa May Alcott grew up in Concord, Massachusetts, the daughter of Bronson Alcott, a well-known transcendentalist, philosopher, and educator. The family's home was a stop on the Underground Railroad, and Alcott's father insisted that she and her sisters always be clothed in linen because linen did not exploit the slaves who picked cotton. The Alcott sisters were educated at home, and were introduced to some of the great thinkers of the times including Emerson and Thoreau. To assist with the family finances, Louisa worked at various occupations from an early age, including sewing and teaching; her novel "Little Women" was published in 1868 and was wildly popular; it has never been out of print. As a result of her success, her family was freed forever from financial distress. Alcott never married; by the time of her death at age 55, she had written hundreds of stories, novels, poems, and essays. She is best known for her children's novels. "Little Women", her best-known book, was based on the life of her family. "Little Men" was written in 1871 specifically for the children of her sister Anna (Meg in "Little Women") after the death of their father.

Bush administration was asleep
Letters to the editor for Sept. 12, 2013: 9/11 editorial; new stadium; Syria; waterfront business; Fashion Valley thief; fracking; water supply; Reagan; Cal Worthington
Administration failed 12 years ago
In the Sept. 11 editorial "The very different legacies of Sept. 11, 2001, and Sept. 11, 2012," it was stated that if Obama's "administration had acted with a bare minimum of competence, local heroes Woods and Doherty would still be alive."
On the anniversary of the 9/11 attack on America, shouldn't the editorial board be more concerned about the lack of competence by the Bush administration that resulted in 3,000 dead Americans?
An attack on a CIA outpost in Libya resulting in four American casualties is tragic. But an attack on American soil with an entire government asleep at the switch is beyond comprehension.
Travis Daniels
San Diego
New stadium needed for more than football
There are so many people in San Diego who see that a new stadium is very much needed, not just for our Chargers, but also for bringing back so many events that we, because of our dinosaur facility, will never have (Super Bowls, Final Fours, major concerts and conventions).
Selling off the land at Qualcomm Stadium and the Sports Arena is one of the best ideas.
The Chargers are willing to put in an awful lot of their own money toward the project and have spent so much time and money to work something out here already in the last 10 years.
The events that can return to our city generate much needed revenue, money to help fix the deficit, streets, the job rate, etc.
We need to support our team, our vision for a new facility and the city.
Shame on the constant naysayers.
We're supposed to be America's Finest City. Let's act like it.
Daryl Sandlin
Kearny Mesa
Other cities seem to make do
The proposed new stadium for the Chargers will again become an issue in the mayoral race. Let's keep in mind that any deficiencies in our current stadium can be addressed for 2 percent or 3 percent of the cost of a new building.
Remember, too, that the citizens of Green Bay, San Francisco, Oakland and Chicago are currently hosting NFL games in stadiums older than Qualcomm. Similarly, the stadium capacities of other NFL cities, such as Nashville, San Francisco, Foxborough, Philadelphia, Saint Louis, Cincinnati, Pittsburgh, Detroit, Indianapolis, Oakland and Chicago, are similar or smaller than San Diego's.

Little confidence in latest statement
How is it these phrases pop into my head at this particular time?:
"Read my lips: No new taxes."
I did not have sexual relations with that woman."
And now: "The Armed Forces of the United States will not be deployed for combat operations in Syria."
Tina Laiuppa
Don't push out waterfront business
What do the following have in common?: Campbell Industries; General Dynamics/Convair Aerospace; Rohr Industries; San Diego Marine Shipbuilding; San Diego's tuna fleet; Sun Harbor Cannery; Teledyne Ryan; Westgate California Cannery.
Answer: They are companies that no longer operate in San Diego County. They used to provide thousands of living-wage jobs, They are gone because organizations like the Environmental Health Coalition and shortsighted, grandstanding politicians have made it impossible to do business here.

In a world where some high school athletes hang out at strip clubs or haze each other in powder puff rituals, isn't it good to know that there's still one nice Jewish football player keeping to a more righteous standard?
So what if he chalks up all his stats for an Episcopalian high school?
Matt Kirschner, a junior, attends Campbell Hall High in North Hollywood. Recently, Kirschner helped his school win a state track meet -- he long jumps 22 feet -- but wait until fall, because Kirschner prefers football.
He's the Vikings' star running back on offense and also plays defense, intercepting passes and tackling. Kirschner, who lives in Encino, started at Campbell Hall in the seventh grade. His favorite subjects are history and psychology and he sings in the choir -- the Gospel Choir.
"I told his grandma he had the only solo," said Kirschner's mother, Jan Winer.
Campbell Hall is funded through the Episcopal Church. However, during Jewish holidays, a rabbi speaks at the school. School events during Kwanzaa and Ramadan are held in a town hall environment called "chapel," which allows everyone to share their backgrounds.
"I think this is what has made it appealing to the Jewish families," Winer said, noting that the school is 40 percent Jewish. "Every color, shape and religion are together there."
Campbell Hall High is also about service, and Kirschner has worked two years at the Jeffrey Foundation with children at risk. The student-athele also has an interest in music and had a rock band called, The New Age Supermen.
Campbell Hall is in the Delphic League, playing schools like Malibu High, Pasadena Poly and Laurel Canyon.
"Matt is a coach's dream," said football coach Anthony Harris. "He has also become a respected athlete on campus, because of his work ethic on and off the field."
To see the 5-foot-10, 175-pound Kirschner display his speed crossing goal lines, college recruiters can see him on video that Kirschner has made. That's how colleges recruit these days.
The family has received letters of interest from schools such as Dartmouth, Colgate and UCLA. Kirschner attended a Nike camp held at USC last month, where college coaches put players through a variety of drills.
Kirschner, has always preferred football over track. In his sixth-grade graduation speech, he said he was going to play for the San Francisco 49ers.
As for his brothers, Eric 13 and Jesse 8, they're into sports, too.
"Jesse's going to be the one jumping out of an airplane," Winer said. "That's my concern. He loves rock climbing, too."
Her 8-year-old learned to play tackle football when he was 4.

Arcos Revolutionizes Burn Care with Panasonic Toughbook tablet PCs
Burn Navigator Improves Clinical Outcomes for Injured Soldiers and Other Patients
A major burn injury is a devastating and severe form of trauma, requiring complex,comprehensive and continuous care. A critical part of this treatment is the administration of fluids intravenously within the first 24 hours. For a soldier hurt on the battlefield in a remote area, providing this initial care is all the more challenging.
Fluid management for burn patients requires medical staff to assess urine output and other factors on an hourly basis and adjust fluid amounts accordingly, to ensure patients are not being over or under hydrated. The approach most commonly used requires manual titration of fluid that may result in human error, potentially leading to suboptimal outcomes.
Arcos Inc., a Houston-based medical technology provider, is changing that. Its new Burn Navigator device employs a Panasonic Toughbook® H2 rugged handheld tablet PC equipped with custom software to provide decision support for the care of burn patients, including injured soldiers. With the Burn Navigator's software loaded onto the durable and lightweight Toughbook H2, medical staff can efficiently provide the optimal therapy in a combat situation or right at patients' bedsides. Its impact is significant—a clinical study1 found that use of the Burn Navigator led to patients being removed from a ventilator up to 2.5 days sooner and a 34 percent relative decrease in patient mortality rate.
The Burn Navigator uses an advanced algorithm that learns how each patient responds to fluid therapy each hour. The algorithm, based on years of medical research, uses fluid in and out trend data to predict the fluid rate for the next hour that will best achieve the urine output target range for the patient. This optimizes fluid delivery and minimizes potential complications that can result from the delivery of too much or too little fluid post injury. The Burn Navigator also provides resuscitation graphs that help nurses and doctors quickly assess the patient's status and create a tailored care plan.
The Burn Navigator recently received airworthiness clearance from the U.S. Army, allowing it to be used in combat situations. Chris Meador, CEO and cofounder of Arcos Inc., explained that the military has been engaged in helping design the system, with the goal of developing a mobile burn support device to help care for casualties in the critical first few hours as they're being evacuated from remote areas.
Institutions using the Burn Navigator include the Army Burn Center, part of the Army Institute of Surgical Research located at San Antonio Military Medical Center. As the sole Department of Defense center specializing in burn care for combat casualties, beneficiaries and civilian emergencies, the Army Burn Center is recognized as a leader in innovative, state-of-the-art medical care for burns. The Burn Navigator also is in use at The University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston.
Fully-rugged at just 3.5 lbs., the Toughbook H2 handheld tablet PC is the ideal platform for the Burn Navigator. In addition to being MIL-STD-810G certified and capable of handling drops up to 6 feet, the Toughbook H2 has a fully-sealed, IP65-certified design, with no fan vents or exposed ports. This makes disinfection easy and reduces the risk of potentially pathogenic microorganisms being spread from patient to patient.
"The reason we chose Panasonic was that the Toughbooks were favored most by the nurses we spoke with—the people who would be using our devices at the bedside," Meador said. "And we needed a platform that was rugged enough to withstand the hot, humid environment of a burn ICU."
Meador said it takes less than an hour for medical staff to be trained on the Burn Navigator.
Dr. Stephan Wexler, Chief Medical Officer at Arcos, said they are also looking at using the Burn Navigator as a system for first responders in the civilian community.
"It would be especially useful in emergencies where there are multiple people with significant burn injuries, and not enough healthcare providers to help take care of them," said Dr. Wexler. "We want to be able to help get the patients the initial care they need while following best practices, and this would really make a difference in the results."
Arcos also is working on a second system for trauma patients, which uses a Toughbook H2 to control an infusion pump that administers blood or fluids to patients.

It's Sonic on another adventure now on the DS!
Sonic Rush is a good game but there is a little bit more to be desired. Sonic Rush is a lot like Sonic and Knuckles for the Sega Genesis. This updated Sonic game is fun to play and can entertain anyone who grew up with Sonic! The atmosphere in the game is bright and colorful and the layouts are designed well but not not well enough to provide a very hard challenge. The music in this game is what you can expect for a high speed Sonic game. The voice acting in the game can get annoying after awhile, especially during boss fights. Sometimes you just want Dr. Eggman to shut-up. The phrases he says is cheesy- (Get ready to be schooled, take this, He He). If you played any of the former Sonics, then you have already been there and done that. If you haven't played any Sonic at all, give it a try. For Sonic fans, I recommend that you find a friend that has this game, play it for awhile, and see if you want to buy the game for about $20. I'm not totally sure if you can rent a game such as this, but if you have the opportunity to do so, rent it first. I give Sonic Rush a 3.5/5 because it could of been so much more than what it is. Keep in mind that I like games with good quality and long lasting moments to remember for a lifetime. Sonic Rush only offers good quality.

Unless your shocks come in at $150 each, you won't find much of a market.
Yep, that describes me to a T. But I'm not frugal, I'm just flat out broke most of the time.
Making stuff for the Ural is making something for a fringe market. A market, like what you said, that generally doesn't come across as being open to dropping thousands of dollars for motorcycle stuff.
I'll use myself as an example - I'm generally broke and don't have a lot of expendable income. I'm coming into some money and that's how I'm going to be able to get my Ural. But after that, while I'll be able to keep up with what needs to be done to the bike (maintenance, etc.), I'm not going to have the cash to drop on high end shocks or other high end mods (that recent pop top thing that someone made that's around $1000 comes to mind as well).
I think the other thing along with the frugal angle is that the Urals are DIY bikes. Most of the people that I've been following over the years with their bikes tend to make their own stuff or modify stuff to fit. Most people don't seem to be concerned with the outward appearance of the bikes, they want them practical (hence the word "wash" being a bad word on Soviet Steeds). I plan on being the same way - I'm going to make do with the stock set up and when I can, I'm going to do my own mods to it.
I'm not knocking the company or anyone else who wants to make stuff for the Ural, it's a good thing. It's just that many of the things that I see that are somewhat interesting also tend to be fairly expensive and out of my reach (and probably several others).
Just me mind you

Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) refers to the structured transmission of data between organizations by electronic means. It is more than mere E-mail; for instance, organizations might replace bills of lading and even checks with appropriate EDI messages. It also refers specifically to a family of standards, including the X12 series. However, EDI also exhibits its pre-Internet roots, and the standards tend to focus on ASCII-formatted single messages rather than the whole sequence of conditions and exchanges that make up an inter-organization business process.
In 1992, a survey of Canadian businesses found at least 140 that had adopted some form of EDI, but that many (in the sample) "[had] not benefited from implementing EDI, and that they [had] in fact been disadvantaged by it."
The National Institute of Standards and Technology in a 1996 publication defines Electronic Data Interchange as "the computer-to-computer interchange of strictly formatted messages that represent documents other than monetary instruments. EDI implies a sequence of messages between two parties, either of whom may serve as originator or recipient. The formatted data representing the documents may be transmitted from originator to recipient via telecommunications or physically transported on electronic storage media.". It goes on further to say that "In EDI, the usual processing of received messages is by computer only. Human intervention in the processing of a received message is typically intended only for error conditions, for quality review, and for special situations. For example, the transmission of binary or textual data is not EDI as defined here unless the data are treated as one or more data elements of an EDI message and are not normally intended for human interpretation as part of online data processing."
EDI can be formally defined as 'The transfer of structured data, by agreed message standards, from one computer system to another without human intervention'. Most other definitions used are variations on this theme. Even in this era of technologies such as XML web services, the Internet and the World Wide Web, EDI is still the data format used by the vast majority of electronic commerce transactions in the world.
The EDI standards were designed to be independent of communication and software technologies. EDI can be transmitted using any methodology agreed to by the sender and recipient. This includes a variety of technologies, including modem (asynchronous, and bisynchronous), [], Email, [], AS1, AS2, etc. It is important to differentiate between the EDI documents and the methods for transmitting them. When they compared the bisynchronous protocol 2400 bit/s modems, CLEO devices, and value-added networks used to transmit EDI documents to transmitting via the Internet, some people equated the non-Internet technologies with EDI and predicted erroneously that EDI itself would be replaced along with the non-Internet technologies. These non-internet transmission methods are being replaced by Internet Protocols such as FTP, [], and E-mail, but the EDI documents themselves still remain.
As more trading partners use the Internet for transmission, standards have emerged. In 2002, the IETF published RFC 3335, offering a standardized, secure method of transferring EDI data via e-mail. On July 12th, 2005, an IETF working group ratified RFC4130 for MIME-based HTTP EDIINT (aka. AS2) transfers, and is preparing similar documents for FTP transfers (aka. AS3). While some EDI transmission has moved to these newer protocols the providers of the value-added networks remain active.
EDI documents generally contain the same information that would normally be found in a paper document used for the same organizational function. For example an EDI 940 ship-from-warehouse order is used by a manufacturer to tell a warehouse to ship product to a retailer. It typically has a ship to address, bill to address, a list of product numbers (usually a UPC code) and quantities. It may have other information if the parties agree to include it. However, EDI is not confined to just business data related to trade but encompasses all fields such as medicine (e.g., patient records and laboratory results), transport (e.g., container and modal information), engineering and construction, etc. In some cases, EDI will be used to create a new business information flow (that was not a paper flow before). This is the case in the Advanced Shipment Notification (856) which was designed to inform the receiver of a shipment, the goods to be received and how the goods are packaged.
There are four major sets of EDI standards:
All of these standards first appeared in the early to mid 1980s. The standards prescribe the formats, character sets, and data elements used in the exchange of business documents and forms. The complete X12 Document List includes all major business documents, including purchase orders (called "ORDERS" in UN/EDIFACT and an "850" in X12) and invoices (called "INVOIC" in UN/EDIFACT and an "810" in X12).
The EDI standard says which pieces of information are mandatory for a particular document, which pieces are optional and give the rules for the structure of the document. The standards are like building codes. Just as two kitchens can be built "to code" but look completely different, two EDI documents can follow the same standard and contain different sets of information. For example a food company may indicate a product's expiration date while a clothing manufacturer would choose to send color and size information.
Standards are generally updated each year.
VANs also provide an advantage with certificate replacement in AS2 transmissions. Because each node in a traditionally business-related AS2 transmission usually involves a security certificate, routing a large number of partners through a VAN can make certificate replacement much easier.
AS2 (Applicability Statement 2) is the draft specification standard by which vendor applications communicate EDI or other business-to-business data (such as XML) over the Internet using HTTP, a standard used by the World Wide Web. AS2 provides security for the transport payload through digital signatures and data encryption, and ensures reliable, non-repudiable delivery through the use of receipts.
EDI translation software provides the interface between internal systems and the EDI format sent/received. For an "inbound" document the EDI solution will receive the file (either via a Value Added Network or directly using protocols such as FTP or AS2), take the received EDI file (commonly referred to as a "mailbag"), validate that the trading partner who is sending the file is a valid trading partner, that the structure of the file meets the EDI standards and that the individual fields of information conforms to the agreed upon standards. Typically the translator will either create a file of either fixed length, variable length or XML tagged format or "print" the received EDI document (for non-integrated EDI environments). The next step is to convert/transform the file that the translator creates into a format that can be imported into a company's back-end business systems or ERP. This can be accomplished by using a custom program, an integrated proprietary "mapper" or to use an integrated standards based graphical "mapper" using a standard data transformation language such as XSLT. The final step is to import the transformed file (or database) into the company's back-end enterprise resource planning (ERP).
For an "outbound" document the process for integrated EDI is to export a file (or read a database) from a company's back-end ERP, transform the file to the appropriate format for the translator. The translation software will then "validate" the EDI file sent to ensure that it meets the standard agreed upon by the trading partners, convert the file into "EDI" format (adding in the appropriate identifiers and control structures) and send the file to the trading partner (using the appropriate communications protocol).
Another critical component of any EDI translation software is a complete "audit" of all the steps to move business documents between trading partners. The audit ensures that any transaction (which in reality is a business document) can be tracked to ensure that they are not lost. In case of a retailer sending a Purchase Order to a supplier, if the Purchase Order is "lost" anywhere in the business process, the effect is devastating to both businesses. To the supplier, they do not fulfill the order as they have not received it thereby losing business and damaging the business relationship with their retail client. For the retailer, they have a stock outage and the effect is lost sales, reduced customer service and ultimately lower profits.
In EDI terminology "inbound" and "outbound" refer to the direction of transmission of an EDI document in relation to a particular system, not the direction of merchandise, money or other things represented by the document. For example, an EDI document that tells a warehouse to perform an outbound shipment is an inbound document in relation to the warehouse computer system. It is an outbound document in relation to the manufacturer or dealer that transmitted the document.
Another significant barrier is the cost in time and money in the initial set-up. The preliminary expenses and time that arise from the implementation, customization and training can be costly and therefore may discourage some businesses. The key is to determine what method of integration is right for your company which will determine the cost of implementation. For a business that only receives one P.O. per year from a client, fully integrated EDI may not make economic sense. In this case, businesses may implement inexpensive "rip and read" solutions or use outsourced EDI solutions provided by EDI "Service Bureaus". For other businesses, the implementation of an integrated EDI solution may be necessary as increases in trading volumes brought on by EDI force them to re-implement their order processing business processes.
The key hindrance to a successful implementation of EDI is the perception many businesses have of the nature of EDI. Many view EDI from the technical perspective that EDI is a data format; it would be more accurate to take the business view that EDI is a system for exchanging business documents with external entities, and integrating the data from those documents into the company's internal systems. Successful implementations of EDI take into account the effect externally generated information will have on their internal systems and validate the business information received. For example, allowing a supplier to update a retailer's Accounts Payables system without appropriate checks and balances would be a recipe for disaster. Businesses new to the implementation of EDI should take pains to avoid such pitfalls.
Increased efficiency and cost savings drive the adoption of EDI for most trading partners. But even if a company would not choose to use EDI on their own, pressures from larger trading partners (called hubs) often force smaller trading partners to use EDI. An example of this is Wal-Mart`s insistence on using EDI with all of its trading partners; any partner not willing to use EDI with Wal-Mart will not be able to do business with the company. Wal Mart EDI & Wal Mart RFID. .
This all comes at a massive cost in time and management as a company may attempt to support a broad range of transactions with a broad range of entities. This example is an extension of the lack of strict standards across implementations, transactions and methods.

Taking action to help typhoon victims
"Growing up, typhoons were like going to an amusement park," he said about growing up in Tacloban. "When the typhoons come, you go outside and play."
He knew this storm would be different when his father e-mailed him about concerns that it might damage buildings at Bethel International School, which the elder Varberg founded.
"We have this enormous school building there that for the past couple of years, my dad has been raising funds to build," said Varberg, in reference to an athletic facility on the campus. "It was essentially crumpled. You can't even tell what it is if you look at the (post-typhoon) photos."
The toll extended to human life as well. In one case, the cyclone killed 10 people in an 11-member family that attended his father's church.
Varberg has been asissting with external communications for his father's school in recent days, and has helped secure emergency funding from Kids International Ministries. Having studied filmmaking at Point Loma Nazarene University, he also is raising money to shoot a documentary in the Philippines next month.
JoAnn Fields, 42, Chula Vista
"The immediate need is water, food and shelter," Fields said. "But my concern is the long haul."
Fields was born in the United States, but both her parents are from Asingan, a municipality in the northern Philippines, where she still has cousins.
She works with the nonprofit organization Gawad Kalinga ("give care"), which has provided 20,000 food packets to more than a dozen sites in the Philippines following Typhoon Haiyan. The group also builds permanent houses for people who otherwise might be living under bridges or in cardboard shacks.
"But the homes we're building aren't huge," Fields said. "They're maybe 10 by 16 (feet). While the structure is made of blocks and concrete, they still have to withstand the typhoons."
She's anxious about the state of those homes in future storms. She also knows that it will take years, perhaps even decades, for many villages, towns and cities to have modern infrastructure in this developing country.
While Fields doesn't have immediate plans to visit the Philippines, she helped organize a fundraising concert this week at Bell Middle School, which has a Gawad Kalinga student chapter.
Gawad Kalinga also has helped put together a benefit concert scheduled for 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday at Pepper Park, 3299 Tidelands Ave. in National City.
Irene Suing, 32, Encinitas
"They heard that it was going to be strong, but they didn't expect this," Suing said about a conversation she had with her mother shortly before Typhoon Haiyan struck.
Her mother and brothers live in Ormoc City, which is in the central Philippines. They took shelter in a nearby school as the storm approached.
Suing told her mother to turn off her phone so as to conserve its battery power. Then she had to wait four days before learning that despite considerable damage in the city, all of her family members were fine.
"Four days is very long to not know what's going on," Suing said. "It's nerve-racking and really depressing, and you have those emotions. You just want to fly there, but you know it's impractical and will create more problems."

Sony resetting some PSN passwords as a 'precautionary measure'
PSN users around the world have been booting up their various consoles only to be confronted with a message saying their passwords are incorrect. They've then had to go through the rigmarole of creating new login details, usually while still in the dark as to what happened to their accounts in the first place -- and whether they might have been hacked. Sony has since put out an explanation via various official channels in the US, EU and Japan, saying that only "some" users have been affected and that the password resets are "purely a precautionary measure" for "routine protection." We've contacted the company for clarification on its policy about contacting users individually in this sort of situation, and also to see if we can find out a little more about this "non-specific" threat to certain accounts.

Boston, MA (PRWEB) June 19, 2013
"The Teacher Prep Review, released yesterday by the National Council on Teacher Quality (NCTQ), elevates and sharpens our national dialogue on how we train teachers in the United States.
"As the Teacher Prep Review correctly points out, students suffer enormous learning losses when subjected to underprepared novice teachers, and teachers themselves exit the profession in significant numbers because of on-the-job difficulties in their first year of teaching.
"Teacher training, if executed properly, can solve these problems, preparing novice teachers who succeed immediately and who persist in the profession. To succeed, teacher training programs should prioritize high-dosage coaching and intensive practice of classroom management and other entry-level teaching techniques. These programs should also hold themselves intensely accountable to whether their graduates eventually succeed with students.
"At Match Education, we have developed our graduate school of education – the Charles Sposato Graduate School of Education – with these principles in mind, and with the goal of producing exceptionally high-quality first-year teachers.
"Our graduate students, as part of a two-year Master in Effective Teaching program, spend their first year as full-time tutors in our award-winning charter schools. During that time, they receive intensive coaching from accomplished school leaders, undertake carefully observed student teaching in increasingly complex situations and earn their teaching licenses. During the second year of the program, our graduate students take full-time teaching jobs in high-performing, high-poverty schools across the country and, even as they carry a full teaching schedule, complete coursework to finish their degree requirements.
"Our Master's degree program is strongly rooted in three basic principles, all of which are echoed in NCTQ's evaluation protocols:
"Our selective, practice-based and accountable approach to teacher training is producing some of the most sought after novice teachers in the country. In each of the last four years, 100 percent of our graduates have been hired by top-performing, high-poverty public schools across the country, and 90 percent of our graduates are persisting in their teaching positions."
About Match Education
Match Education is considered an engine of innovation in public education. Match operates high-performing urban public charter schools for low-income and minority children and a unique graduate school of education that trains teachers for urban settings. Out of its applied work in schools and teacher training, Match originates, proves and shares solutions to core problems in education reform.

Medbox to Release miVape in May 2014
The time has finally come! Medbox has officially announced the final testing phase of their newest portable vaporizer, the miVape; now vapor aficionados are probably groaning in disbelief at that sentence, since the miVape one of the most highly-anticipated portable vapes in the history of the industry. After acquiring Vaporfection International Inc. in March 2013, Medbox has revealed that they will soon be releasing their first portable vape to compete with industry leaders like Pax and DaVinci.
Scheduled to release on May 1, 2014, the long-awaiting miVape is expected to outperform other portable vaporizers available on the market today. Some even will go as far as to refer to the miVape as a game changer in the portable vaporizer industry, a revolutionary development in the industry of medical technology. Purported to outperform high-ranking vapes such as the Pax, the Ascent and Arizer Solo, some rightfully question the validity of the miVape's sky-high hype.
Could the miVape be the future to vaporizing? Maybe. Or, maybe its over-extended buildup could just drop the ball and disappoint its users, much like the Puffit Vaporizer. However, according to FuckCombustion, Vaporfection is aiming for a 4-5 hour battery life, which if attained, would be an excellent step ahead of most, if not all, other portable units on the market. The longest battery life that I've found in any other portable unit was that of the Arizer Solo, lasting for about 3 hours. Again matching and/or surpassing the Solo, the miVape also shares the feature that allows users to vape while the unit is charging.
In terms of aesthetics, Vaporfection seems to understand popular and successful marketing techniques. The miVape was conceived to mimic Apple's sleek iPhone design that has been an undisputed trendsetter in the cell phone industry. Thanks to its professional, thin aesthetic and all-glass herbal chamber, the miVape vaporizer is positioned to stand out in an industry that has been engulfed in cloned portable devices that only scratch the surface of a true vaporization experience.
When designing and developing the miVape, Medbox sought out popular features amongst vaporizers that we're currently available, along with all the ongoing drawbacks other units were having, so that they could produce the best portable vaporizer possible.

I buy a lot of second hand or discounted games, though it takes forever to get around to playing them all.
In November I added the following bargains to my library:
Disc: (all from Amazon.ca/Marketplace)
$35 Singularity
$30 Valkyria Chronicles
$24 Katamari Forever
$20 Call of Duty: WaW (special @ Future Shop/Best Buy)
$17 Splinter Cell Conviction
$10 Just Cause 2
$5 Wanted: Weapons of Fate
==== 141 / 7 = $20.14 per game + S&H
800msp Shank (33% off)
400msp Scott Pilgrim (50% off)
400msp Portal: Still Alive (67% off)
400msp Monkey Island 2 (50% off)
80msp Lost Odyssey DLC (90% off) :)
$8.75 King's Bounty Collection
$5.00 Indie Clever Pack
App Store:
$1 ChuChu Rocket
$4 Game Dev Story
$3 Ridge Racer Accelerated
$1 Phantasy Star II
Naturally these are the lowest prices that I have seen these titles for, but the copy of Just Cause 2 has an interesting twist to it. When a game dips to an absurdly low price on Amazon.ca, I often find it's from a Marketplace seller that is either on another continent, or otherwise lacking legitimacy somehow. Sometimes it's an item listed as cart or disc only, which is fine when playing it is more important than collecting it. But in this case, the listing clearly stated it was a backup disc. Well crap. I reported this to Amazon a couple of different ways, and whether they eventually took it down or somebody bought it I can't say, but it's safe to admit that Amazon doesn't try very hard to police their marketplace sellers.
So how did I get a legitimate copy of JC2 for the same price? It's easy to explain if you've ever tried selling on Amazon. Your inventory page simply tells you whether you have the lowest price for a product, and nothing about who the other sellers are. My legitimate supplier saw that 9.99 was the price to beat, and listed at 9.90, even though he was undercutting a pirate. If anything I think it's a bum rap that Amazon allowed such a clearly illegitimate listing to stay for so long, but I'm glad I caught the bargain.
Meanwhile XBLM continues to astound by discounting titles released mere months before. I actually received my "cash back" bonus from the October promotion right when they said I should, so that was 800 extra points to drop without much inner debate on Shanking dudes. Apparently there are silent sales going on more frequently as well! I read the Fable II DLC was reduced without any announcement, so I'm stuck waiting for a while longer before I nab Knothole Island.
Of course for the USA, Black Friday was the big push for bargains. Every day I saw one or two titles that I would really enjoy for the prices they were asking, but Amazon.ca almost never reflects the same prices on the same titles. Different market, right? Yeah. I dunno, I guess we get free healthcare, so that's probably the bigger savings? ;) They did have "Black Friday Deals", but the only title that I even thought twice about was Borderlands GOTY for $40. I think finishing the PC version I already have should be the plan before I decide to replay it for points.
December is already off to a CheapAss<tm> start! Can't wait for the Boxing day sales!

Dear Family,
I would like to welcome you to my class for the 2014- 2015 school year. This letter is to address some beginning of the year details and to also invite you to visit the class. Please see the schedule for your allotted date and time. This is a time for your child to meet the teachers, for the teachers to meet you and your child, and for you to express any concerns or last minute thoughts you might have. Students look at the classroom and have the comfort of having parents with them as they view their new class. If you will be unable to attend in your designated time slot please let me know. The school phone number is (352) 375- 6773. Please leave a message for Crystal.
I am very excited about this upcoming school year. My full day assistant will be Kyra Akay. Ms. Kyra was my partial day assistant for the 2013-2014 school year and has worked morning care and after care here at MMS. Oksana Carlberg will be the partial day assistant in the class. Ms. Oksana worked as a substitute teacher last school year and in the After School Program here at MMS. In addition to Montessori lessons that are the center of our environment there will be a different thematic unit each month. These units will be explored in many different ways, tying in Montessori philosophy and principles. We stress in this beginning class the Montessori lessons in courtesy and grace and work heavily on children "using their words". If you have questions about your child's progress or behavior or need to discuss family matters please speak to me directly and not one of my assistants.
Please let me know now, or as the year progresses, if there are any holidays that your family celebrates that you would like covered during the course of the year. I am devoted to making this class as multicultural as possible. Celebrating various holidays is an important way to discover and develop an appreciation for other cultures. If you have objections to any holidays or specific celebrations, please discuss these concerns with me in advance of the holiday. We do have a Halloween celebration at the school, complete with costumes and trick-or-treating, for instance. We also love to have guest speakers share their special holidays with us. If you are interested in being a guest speaker please let me know.
You will need to provide several things for your child at the beginning of the year. It would be helpful if you could bring these when you come to visit on August 7th or August 8th. Your child needs a change of clothes including socks (and underwear if appropriate). If your child is full-day please send in a small blanket for nap time. Please do not send in standard size bed pillows, bed rolls, or large animals. Each week your child will bring home a canvas bag on the last day of the week with his/her blanket and folder. Please make sure that your child's napping items will fit in this provided canvas bag. The class has limited space to store napping items. Items that are sent in for nap are required to stay for the entirety of the school week. Please do not allow your child to bring in the animal or blanket that they use at night. Items will not be sent home daily. Please label everything with your child's name. If your child is in diapers you may send in an entire bag. You will be notified when your child needs more. The school provides wipes. If you use "Pull-Up" brand items we only accept the ones that have tabs/tape like diapers. We do not accept traditional pull-ups. Students have difficulty manipulating them and to put on a fresh pull-up we must completely undress the child. You will also need to provide a small picture of your child. The picture will identify your child's cubby so she/he can find it independently. This is not the picture provided when your child enrolled. The office keeps that picture with your child's file. Please bring in the small picture on August 7th or August 8th during your Meet the Teacher time slot.
You provide your child's lunch if your child is a full-day student. If your child goes home at noon then he/she does not eat lunch at school. Please do not send in a lunchbox if your child is half-day. If your child is full-day please include healthy options in the lunchbox so your child may choose. Children are not allowed to share food. Please alert us to any allergies or food limitations your child has since we do provide morning snack. Children need to have a cloth napkin in their lunch boxes to be used as a place mat. Please provide spoons or other needed utensils in your child's lunch. The school does not supply utensils. Often students do not eat much the first few weeks of school as they adjust to a group lunch setting. We expect students to be able to sit at a table and eat politely. We work on manners with the students during lunch time. Teachers do not hand feed the students. Not only does the ratio not allow for individual feeding but as our philosophy promotes age appropriate independence it is important for students to practice feeding themselves. If you have questions about our lunch policies please speak to me.
I ask that you do not allow your child to bring personal toys to school. It works best if they are simply left at home. The children have plenty of fascinating manipulatives to work with while attending class. Pacifiers are also not allowed at school. Please dress your child, or have your child dress himself/herself in clothes they can manipulate or practice manipulating. Shorts, pants, and skirts with elastic waistbands work best. Students who wear dresses should wear bloomers or shorts under their dresses. This helps keep sand out of diapers of underwear. We ask that you do not dress your child in one piece outfits that snap in the crotch. Children can not manipulate these independently. Please have students wear shoes they can practice putting on. Velcro shoes are a good choice. If you have questions about dressing a child this age to encourage further independence please do not hesitate to ask.
This may be your child's first experience with school. Be prepared that your child may have a hard time dealing with you leaving. I advise parents to talk often and excitedly to their child about coming to school. Talk about what they will do each day (the included class schedule should help you). Be very positive about their experiences at school. When you arrive at class (or morning care) say a quick goodbye, reassure them you will be back at a specific time ("at lunchtime," "3:00", or "after nap"), and then leave. If your child begins to run after you or call to you, please do not return to say goodbye again. We have found that this lengthens the adjustment period severely.
A teacher will comfort your child and redirect his/ her attention to something else. You may call to check on your child during the day. We realize it is very hard to walk away while your child is upset, but it will truly benefit your child as he/she learns to adjust to coming to school. If you are always positive about your child coming to school this attitude will begin to show in your child. I try to post pictures to our school's Facebook site often, especially at the beginning of the year so you may see your child having fun and working hard. If you decide to not allow pictures of your child then none will be taken.
Some parents ask what they might do to help prepare their child to succeed in the classroom. Having your child pick up and put away his/her toys at home is one way you can help your child adjust more quickly to the classroom environment. In class students choose one work at a time, work with the one item until they are done, and then return it to its proper location on the shelf. Students must also sit in circle with their legs crossed in a quiet manner during line time. If a child has never been in a formal school setting this may be a skill that takes time to develop. Having your child practice sitting quietly at home, while you read a book or talk, can help him/her develop sitting and listening skills.
Attached to this letter are the daily schedule, planned unit studies for the school year, and the class wish list. Each class makes a wish list of items that would enhance the classroom. If you would like to donate an item for the class please consult the wish list, or see me if you have other ideas.
I look forward to meeting you and your child. Please bring your child's change of clothes, picture, and napping items (if full-day) in with you when you come to meet the teachers. If your child is full-day please also fill out the eating/ napping form and bring it with you. If you have any specific questions before August 7th you may e-mail me at firstname.lastname@example.com or call the school August 4th – August 8th. I am anticipating a wonderful year with all of our new and returning families.

Jersey Shore
Deena Nicole Admits To Getting Plastic Surgery
Since Jersey Shore Season 4 premiered last week, the internet has been obsessed with the question of whether or not JWOWW had work done to her face. When the New York Post asked meatball number two, Deena Nicole Cortese, to weigh in, she told the paper that she doesn't think JWOWW had plastic surgery done to her face — but she did!
That's right, folks. Deena had a nose job! The spunky guidette didn't clarify if this is a recent development or something that happened before she even joined the show, but now that she mentions it, we definitely think her nose looks different in this picture from a recent event in New York. Interesting.
Deena also explained her definition of class: "Class is, you know, not showing your boobs or butt. Anything is classy, as long as you do it with your pinky up; I was taught that." This explains so much, really. We wonder if she kept her pinky up through the operation to make sure her nose job stayed on the sophisiticated end of facial surgery style.

First, hello everyone, and greetings from Brazil. Sorry about my poor english anyway. I just want to say that i don't no about how religious people are in you contry, but here, in my city, in my community, we are not so mean and intolerant as you may think. Of course i'm not a model, but I like Kreator a lot, among with Death is my favorite band, and this don't mean i'm a bad catholic. Because the truth of a religion like mine is to live respecting the next to you as a brother, just like a metal concert, when you meet someone you didnt know and enjoy the moment happy. Its pretty much this, won't talk to much…
Religion in music.
