June 28, 2012 - The COPD Foundation (COPDF) today announced its response to the U.S. Supreme Court's decision on the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, re-emphasizing that it will continue to work tirelessly to ensure that individuals living with chronic disease: are educated about their rights and responsibilities regarding public and private insurance policies and coverage; have access to care; and remain a priority of concern for federal, state and local legislators and chronic disease coalitions across the United States.
"COPDF has championed legislation that improves access to care for people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and chronic disease," says John W. Walsh, president of the COPD Foundation. "Facing the challenge of living with a chronic disease can be daunting and expensive for individuals, and for the families of those affected by chronic disease."
The Affordable Care Act included negotiations on Capitol Hill that rolled in a number of provisions derived from other pieces of legislation that were supported by the COPDF and the advocacy community. The COPDF did not, however, take a position in favor of or opposed to the Affordable Care Act while it was moving through the legislative process. Similarly, it does not take a position on the Supreme Court's decision.
Some of the provisions within the Affordable Care Act that are favorable to those individuals living with COPD include:
– No ban on pre-existing conditions
– Guaranteed issue and renewal
– Ban on policy rescission
– Minimum insurance coverage standards
– Elimination of lifetime caps
– Addressing Part D Donut Hole
"The COPD Foundation will continue to support legislation to ensure people with chronic disease have a voice in managing their healthcare," adds Walsh.
About the COPD Foundation
The mission of the COPD Foundation is to develop and support programs, which improve the quality of life through research, education, early diagnosis, and enhanced therapy for persons whose lives are impacted by Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease. The C.O.P.D. Information Line, 866-316-COPD (2673), is a toll-free number for information and referrals on COPD, offering callers access to peer-to-peer patients and caregiver associates.

The Case of the Mysterious Author Who Took Her Children to Bookstores all over the Country
Jenny Milchman, you are either the coolest mother this side of the Pecos, or a completely crazy woman, possibly both.
Milchman, who recently published the suspense novel "Cover of Snow" (Ballantine), is driving around the country visiting independent bookstores to promote her novel -- with her husband AND their two children. "During the tour, we are 'car-schooling' our first- and third-grade children. Part of their education will be seeing the landscape change as the bookstores do," Milchman, who lives in New Jersey, wrote in an article for the bookseller trade e-newsletter Shelf Awareness. »Read Full Blog Post
Tracy Morgan gets big laughs - and some unexpected exposure at the Pabst
Controversial comic and "30 Rock" star Tracy Morgan was a wild man performing stand-up at the Pabst Theater Sunday night. That's to be expected.
But one person in the audience was even more outrageous. »Read Full Article(7)

Soulstice Theatre delivers shimmering 'Memory of Water'
Coming from north by northwest, take I-794 to Howard Ave. Make two quick lefts and you've arrived at the St. Francis-based digs of Soulstice Theatre, home to a tiny, gutsy troupe which - when the stars align, as they often do - offers a night out that can rival much of what's available downtown, at half the price.
The constellation appearing on the Soulstice stage right now - in a production of Shelagh Stephenson's "The Memory of Water," under David Ferrie's direction - is definitely worth the trip. »Read Full Article
Next Act's 'Irma Vep' haunted by earlier version
In the second act of Charles Ludlam's madcap "The Mystery of Irma Vep," now on stage at Next Act Theatre, a frightened Lady Enid (a cross-dressed John McGivern) turns to housekeeper Jane Twisden (a cross-dressed Norman Moses) and pines for the protective presence of Nicodemus, her faithful manservant.
With the twitch of a smile and a twinkle in his eye, Moses' ordinarily prim Jane make clear that calling Nicodemus on stage just then simply isn't possible. »Read Full Article(1)

The Famous 1803 Extra Star Eagle1803 $10 Extra Star AU50 PCGS. Breen-6845, Taraszka-30, BD-5, High R.4. The extra reverse star is located on the top surface of the right-most cloud, clearly visible on this piece. Although it is the second commonest variety of 1803, the extra star remained unnoticed until Harry Bass studied an example he purchased in 1966. John Dannreuther describes this unusual die characteristic as an intentional addition to the reverse die, but is unable to state how it occurred. This pleasing light yellow example has sharp details. Lightly cleaned with faint hairlines and a few minor obverse and reverse scratches are evident. (PCGS# 88565)

Modern Twist on the Bourbon Old Fashioned
21 Feb 2012
This recipe is from HolidaysCentral's 2012 Oscar's Best Picture Inspired Menu, where you can get the full menu and other fun holiday ideas. The classic Old Fashioned just screams old Hollywood, but just like Best Picture Nominee, The Artist, we've put a modern twist on the old classic. Using orange bitters, which is readily available at most grocers, adds a citrus kick to perfectly compliment your bourbon of choice.
|3 Ounce (good quality)
|1 Teaspoon
|1 Teaspoon
|Orange bitters
|2 Dash
Dissolve the sugar into a glass with the water and the bitters. Stir gentle to ensure that the sugar has completely dissolved.
Add a few ice cubes to the water mixture and then pour the bourbon over the ice cubes.
If you'd like to get a little fancy with your bourbon old fashioned, many people add a few condiments to the drink. The accompanying condiments of choice for a bourbon old fashioned are a slice of lemon, a slice of orange and a maraschino cherry.

School Notes:
The purpose of Life Christian Academy is to serve our school families by graduating upstanding young men and women. Our teaching is anchored in Christian principles, so that our students can follow God's leading to accomplish His purpose and will for their lives. Life Academy Preschools learning program focuses on numbers, letter recognition, phonics, health, manners, safety and writing. It is the goal of our PreK-4 program to equip your child with the skills that will help them succeed at their next level of education. These skills include Phonemic awareness, which gives them the ability to begin reading print. The Elementary program begins in Kindergarten, where reading, writing, and arithmetic are emphasized. Comprehension and Phonics skills are mastered early, providing a strong foundation for later skills such as critical thinking and problem solving. All Middle School students continue to grow in an understanding of God's Word and His truth, which will provide guidance for the rest of their lives. This is accomplished through our chapel program and age appropriate Bible instructions. Course offerings prepare our students for Life's college preparatory High School Curriculum.

Information technology (IT) senior network administrators are responsible for providing system- and network-related solutions for their organization's information-technology assets. They oversee the functioning of networking equipment and follow strict maintenance standards. Their experience in the IT and networking fields is also used to develop new strategies to optimize server operation. They work with other IT team members, supervisors, and end-users to work on connectivity problems. IT senior network administrators also manage complex system requirements and create technical documentation for users.Read More...
Most of the time senior network administrators coordinate administrative rules among different credential groups. They may also create training sessions for employees to increase knowledge and productivity related to computer networks. Senior network administrators facilitate email systems, as well as configure desktop development alternatives. They also manage computer parts inventory and recycle parts as needed. These IT professionals also carry out upgrade procedures, and they must have knowledge of security bugs and possible privacy risks.
A bachelor's degree in computer science, information technology, or a similar field is required for this position. Several years of previous work experience in a comparable job is necessary. Additional field certifications are a plus. Generally, IT senior network administrators must have experience with large-scale projects and must be able to multitask by working on several projects at once.
Add this chart to your site: 640px 300px
IT Senior Network Administrators' salaries may rise greatly for those who assume a higher-end position such as an Information Technology Director. The average Information Technology Director brings home $101K per year. Information Technology Managers or Senior Network Engineers are common next-step roles for IT Senior Network Administrators moving up in their careers; annual pay for Information Technology Managers is $5K higher on average, and it's $18K higher for Senior Network Engineers.
Survey takers working as IT Senior Network Administrators report using a large range of professional skills. Most notably, skills in IT Security & Infrastructure, Storage Area Networking, Virtualization, and VMware ESX are correlated to pay that is above average. Skills that are correlated to lower pay, on the other hand, include Microsoft Office, SQL, and Windows NT / 2000 / XP Networking. The majority of those who know Microsoft Exchange also know Cisco Networking.
Median of all compensation (including tips, bonus, and overtime) by years of experience.
IT Senior Network Administrators with a lot of experience do not necessarily enjoy more money. Although individuals who have less than five years' experience earn $62K on average, people with five to 10 years benefit from a notably larger average of $68K. IT Senior Network Administrators see a median salary of $74K after reaching one to two decades on the job. People who have worked for more than 20 years report a median income of $79K, which is barely higher than the median for folks with 10 to 20 years of experience.
IT Senior Network Administrators will find that Washington offers an impressive pay rate, one which exceeds the national average by 23 percent. IT Senior Network Administrators will also find cushy salaries in New York (+19 percent), Austin (+17 percent), Dallas (+14 percent), and Denver (+13 percent). San Antonio is home to the smallest salaries in the field, lagging the national average by 7 percent. A couple other locations with smaller-than-average paychecks include Houston (2 percent lower) and Minneapolis (1 percent lower).

Born in Hong Kong to a Chinese father and a German mother, Kwan-Rubinek moved to the Middle East when her mother married her Lebanese stepfather. Living in six countries before enrolling at Loyola Marymount University certainly prepares you for the international world; few studios have done better there than Warner Bros., which this year passed the $2 billion mark for only the third time in its history on the strength of such worldwide hits as Inception, Clash of the Titans, Sex and the City 2 and Valentine's Day. All that has been helped by Kwan-Rubinek's ability to speak English, German, Cantonese and French.

Whining & Dining: Waffle Shop at Calvary signals springtime
Don't you love the name "Waffle Shop After Dark"? I get a joyous chuckle every time I see it written. It sounds just a little naughty, except, of course, it's in a church and it ends at 6:15 p.m.
What really brings me joy, though, is knowing that Waffle Shop, the annual lunch series held at Calvary Episcopal Church during Lent, is not the first or the second, but the third harbinger of spring around here. First there's Michael Donahue's birthday, which falls on Feb. 1, but is first mentioned around, say, Thanksgiving. We fill the dreary days of January with talk of this whisper of spring.
A week or two later, we'll see pictures of baseball spring training in Florida (complete with palm trees in the background), and there's no denying that when the boys of summer start training, warm days are going to follow.
Then Waffle Shop opens. Forget the groundhog. While it will never, ever touch my lips, tomato aspic is a sure sign that spring is almost here. It's cause for celebration, and it starts Thursday (and is open for lunch Monday through Friday until March 22 and dinner on Wednesdays during that period).
In just two short weeks, it will be March, and then a series of festivals and foodie events will begin. Before you know it, it'll be time for mint juleps, the Memphis in May World Championship Barbecue Cooking Contest and we'll all be enjoying fish fries and burgers in our backyards, complaining about the heat.
But before all the warm weather fun kicks in, we've got a few last winter blowouts. Mark your calendars now:
Tastiest Towns parties
You surely know by now that Memphis is in the lead (sometimes) for Southern Living's "The South's Tastiest Towns" contest. Last week I asked you to vote every day to move us from the third-place position we'd held for a couple of weeks, and you folks were great. Around 5 p.m. Wednesday, we hit No. 1. Since then, we've traded first and second with Durham, N.C., so it's important to keep voting every day, and tell your friends to do the same.
To reward your dedication, encourage more voting and just have fun, there are two more parties before voting ends Feb. 28. On Tuesday, join us at The Majestic Grille, 145 S. Main, 4-7 p.m. On Feb. 28, come to Boscos, 2120 Madison, 5-7 p.m. Thank the good folks at the Memphis Convention and Visitors Bureau, the Memphis Restaurant Association, and the restaurants that have hosted and are hosting the parties. See you then! Drink specials and snacks await you.
Soup Sunday
The 24th Annual Youth Villages Soup Sunday is Feb. 24 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at FedExForum, featuring soups, specialty items, breads and desserts from more than 30 Memphis-area restaurants and caterers, such as The Half Shell, Rizzo's Diner, Ciao Bella Italian Grill, Huey's, Owen Brennan's, Felicia Suzanne's, Mosa Asian Bistro, Folks Folly Prime Steak House, and others. Food trucks will also be on-site from YoLo, Central BBQ, Memphis Munchies and Rock n' Dough Pizza Co.
Tickets can be purchased at the door. Prices for tickets purchased online at soupsunday.org until Feb. 20 are $18 for adult general admission and $8 for children ages 5-10. Adult general admission is $25 at the door, children ages 5-10 is $10, and ages 4 and under are free. (This year the Soup Sunday ticket will double as admission to the University of Memphis Women's basketball game vs. UTEP at 2 p.m.)
VIP Souper Party on FedExForum's Club Level includes all the benefits of general admission in addition to other foods (and adult beverages) from Felicia Suzanne's, Sweet Grass, Andrew Michael Italian Kitchen, Acre, Youth Villages' own Food With Class program and others. VIP Souper Party tickets are $60 for adults and $20 for children. VIP Souper Party tickets for couples are available exclusively at soupsunday.org for $100.
There's a lot going on, including "Sweets in the Suite," wine and chocolate pairing with Michael Hughes of Joe's and Phillip Rix of Chocistry; tickets are $100 per person and include admission to all other events.
All proceeds from the event will benefit the Youth Villages' mentoring program this year.
Restaurant news
Fans of Jeremy Denno's Rock 'n Dough Pizza food truck will be glad to know that you can find him cooking pizza in his new place, 1243 Ridgeway. Denno opened in the former YoLo space earlier this month. Hours are Monday through Thursday, 11 a.m.-9 p.m. and until 10 p.m. on Friday and Saturday. Call 901-435-6238 for more information.
Jay Hall has been named chef and kitchen manager for Hard Rock Cafe Memphis. Hall has worked at notable places such as Houston's, Planet Hollywood, Rainforest Cafe and Sole Restaurant. Hard Rock Cafe is located at 315 Beale; call 901-529-0007 for more information.
Recipe of the week
My friend Alyce Mantia Price cooks with butternut squash pretty often, and every time I eat it at her house I love it so much I end up cooking with it for weeks. She recently made a chicken and butternut squash lasagna, and I made it twice before moving on to these quesadillas.
Contact food writer Jennifer Biggs at firstname.lastname@example.com or (901) 529-5223. The Southern Tastes Facebook page is facebook.com/sotastes.
Roasted Squash, Red Pepper, and Jack Cheese Quesadillas
Makes 4 servings.
For dip
1 canned chipotle chile in adobo, minced
2 teaspoons fresh lime juice
1 cup sour cream
For quesadillas
1 3/4 pound butternut squash, peeled, seeded and cut in 3/4-inch diced (about 5 cups)
1 medium onion, unpeeled, cut in eighths
1 large garlic clove, unpeeled
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
— Salt and pepper
8 (6-inch) flour tortillas
1 cup chopped bell pepper (about 1 large; see note)
1 cup grated Monterey Jack cheese
1/2 stick unsalted butter, softened
Make dip by stirring chipotle and lime juice in sour cream until combined; set aside.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a shallow baking pan, arrange squash, onion and garlic in a single layer and drizzle with the oil, tossing to coat. Roast in middle rack for 15 minutes, or until garlic is tender. Remove garlic to a work surface and continue roasting squash and onion about 40 minutes. Discard peels from onion and garlic.
In food processor, purée squash, onion and garlic with salt and pepper until smooth.
Spread about one-fourth of squash purée on each of 4 tortillas and sprinkle each evenly with cheese and red pepper (Note: I added diced jalapeño to taste.) Top each tortilla with a plain tortilla and butter the outsides.
Heat griddle or nonstick skillet over moderately high heat until hot, and cook the quesadillas, 1 at a time, until golden, about 3 minutes on each side. Transfer to a cutting board. Cut each in 6 to 8 wedges and serve with the dip.

France forward Benzema took a knock to the thigh in Saturday's 1-0 victory at Malaga and had to be replaced by Angel Di Maria. "He is recovering," said Ancelotti, who will rest players for the last-16 second leg, where Real start with a 6-1 advantage.
"He cannot play tomorrow but we are confident he will be able to recover for Sunday."
Schalke 04 will be without winger Jefferson Farfan and striker Klaas-Jan Huntelaar is doubtful.

On September 18, the Inspector General (IG) for the FHFA published a report on the FHFA's oversight of management of high-risk sellers and servicers by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac (the Enterprises). The high-risk seller/servicer report presents a review of the Enterprises' high risk counterparties and noted that more than 300 are on the Enterprises' watch lists while more than forty have been blocked from doing business with the Enterprises. To better manage counterparty risk, the IG recommends that the FHFA promulgate standards for the Enterprises to develop contingency plans for handling a large seller/servicer's failure, and that the FHFA finalize its proposed guidance for FHFA examiners to use in assessing the Enterprises' contingency plans.
On the same day, the FHFA IG published a report regarding Fannie Mae's purchase and transfer of certain mortgage servicing rights on approximately 384,000 loans for roughly $512 million. The IG determined that the amount paid was consistent with other such purchases made as part of a Fannie Mae program through which Fannie Mae transferred mortgage servicing rights from a regular servicer to a specialty servicer. While it determined that Fannie Mae did not overpay for the servicing rights in context, the IG recommended that the FHFA (i) consider requiring the Enterprises to seek approval for high costs initiatives, (ii) ensure additional scrutiny of pricing of future significant servicing transactions, (iii) reevaluate the Fannie Mae transfer program, and (iv) follow through with Fannie Mae's implementation of prior FHFA directions regarding the purchase and transfer of mortgage servicing rights.

kvm windows 7 guest segfaults under centos 5.7 with 285.05.09 driver from elrepo
basically, kvm guests would randomly segfault even when no console was being displayed. i normally use rdp to talk to my windows guest anyway, and i use vnc as the console, so very little activity should be going through the nvidia libraries.
i'm not going to be able to give much more detail since i had to drop back to 280.13 in order to keep my windows guest stable, but i was able to get the following stack trace from one of the segfaults.
#0 0x0000003a4a200a08 in _nv007tls ()
from /usr/lib64/nvidia/tls/libnvidia-tls.so.285.05.09
#1 0x00000030d4e05ad9 in __nptl_deallocate_tsd () from

#3 0x00000030d42d44bd in clone () from /lib64/libc.so.6
and that address has been consistent through numerous segfaults:
Oct 10 08:15:16 charon kernel: qemu-kvm[25987]: segfault at 00000000000140a0 rip 0000003a4a200a08 rsp 00000000462d7080 error 4

let me know if sending the nvidia-bug-report data would be useful given that i've gone back to the previous release.

I have been seeing Dr. Lintner for 13 years now. He replaced implants that had gone past their lifespan...Beautiful work. I have had him remove pre-cancerous moles on my face and you cannot even see the trace of a scar. He has given me Botox on many occasions and I am always pleased with the results. This doctor spends time with his patients and takes the time to answer all questions. He takes the time to explain what your true expectations should be. He talked me out of Liposuction as he felt I did not need it. Now what doctor does that? An honest one. I highly recommend him.
i am only a friend of a patient of this doctors. he did a facelift on her and she had many problems that lasted for some time. she had to be in the hospital because of this poor surgeon, do not go to him for a facelift. he may be ok with other surgeries, but not the face. there are other friends i know who have a bad look after Dr. Litner tried to; fix them. do not go to this bad surgeon. i feel so bad for my friend.
I was on fence to do breast augmentation for a year or so now. I finally decided to move forward with Dr Litner and am so happy with results, procedure and staff. I love that Dr Litner is readily available anytime via phone and procedure performed in hospital. I had an amazing recovery with size I asked for, never once pressured to go to a size I didn't want (I went with smaller implants). Very very happy with entire experience and would readily refer Dr Linter to anyone Staff is super friendly, responsive and helpful :)
Just completed another awesome plastic surgery procedure. Had Dr. Tom remove my BAT WINGS! My what a difference. The down time and pain were very minimal but the results are something I have wanted for years. I am proud to say that Dr. Lintner has done a full face lift, tummy tuck, breast reduction and now arm lift for me and I feel like a new woman. THANKS Doc and team! Kudos!
i went to this doctor on reputation. i should be listen to his answers. he is not a good surgeon, i found out later that he had a stroke. i wonder if that changed his actions and coordination for my surgery. he does not want to see my problem, he is very jumpy and leaves the room i am in sooner. do not go to this doctor.
I feel an anonymous speculation on my health is not only unwarranted, but untrue. If you are unsatisfied with your result, please let my staff or me know. All my patients who had surgery or a consultation have my cell phone number and are welcome to contact me at any time.
I regret my decision to use Dr. Lintner. I went back for office visits several times before my OP. I wanted to understand everything and make sure we were on the right page. We were not. Dr. Lintner will listen but doesnt remember what was agreed on like in my case. I could tell that he had a foggy memory forgetting lots of (should remembers) and my OBGYN referred me so I wanted it to work. I should have gotten several more referrals before using him. Basically He ruined my breast lift and implant exchange. He took more skin from my smaller breast and left my larger breast a lot larger. I was charged for the revision. He did not correct the uneven nipples. Very noticable! we agreed the day before that I was to be a Full C cup. Turned out, one breast was just a C and the other was small B. I had another surgeon confirm that he took too much skin from one breast and pulled up skin from my abdomen under breasts. Very uneven messy job. I could have done a better job myself. I told him afterwards that I had a pain when I do this.(raise my right arm) He said "Don't do that" and laughed. He told me that "I tell my patients to trust me" in other words he is saying that I didnt, and is blaming me for not making me the right size. ?!?! I was two different sizes not a little but over one cup size. He will blame you if he screws up. His nurse/ wife will get nasty too and she talks about how patients wish she wasnt his wife. I would bet he doesnt want his wife to think he takes too long with anyone person so kinda rushes and then forgets you before you are gone. Lots more to write but I dont want to run out of space. You run a 50/50 chance I believe of getting decent work from this doctor. Good luck!! You will need it just in the communication arena.
i wanted to look better over my face, but i had a disaster after surgery. i did not look better. i had bleeding and bad scars. Dr. Lintner did nothing to help and cut my office visits very quick. i still am not healed. never go to him.
Dear Kerri, We are very surprised by your post, and truly wish if you are dissatisfied with any aspect of your care here that you would let us know! Our patients have Dr Lintner's cell phone number and can call him any time day or night...I do hope that you contact us so that we can help you!!
Highly recommend Dr. Lintner and his staff! Results far exceeded expectations - excellent experience from beginning to end. He provides his cell phone number and encourages patients to call him after hours and on weekends if they have any concerns.
This is in response to "great lipo". I'm glad to hear you had good results, as I wouldn't wish my results on anyone. To answer your questions, my skin condition was great and I've always worked out. The lipo was performed at Kennestone Hosp. No, I'm not a plastic surgeon, nor was I aware that inner/outer thigh lipo consisted of liposuctioning underneath the buttocks. The following link details how a double gluteal crease occurs: www.liposuction101.com/liposuction-textbook/chapter-36-buttocks/Judge for yourselfhttp://www.realself.com/review/marietta-ga-liposuction-bad-lipo-result
5 stars and then some! Dr. Lintner and his staff were excellent! I recently had breast augmentation and I must say they look wonderful! He knew exactly what I was looking for. I went with silicone implants and am so happy that I did. I was referred by mom who also had facial surgery by Dr. Lintner and she looks great too! Very natural but younger! His staff was wonderful. I recommend Dr. Lintner for any surgery! Thanks Dr. Lintner you're the greatest!
I generally don't write reviews but felt I had to respond to the one just posted. This is not at all the experience that I had with Dr. Lintner's office. I had liposuction in August 2006 of my abdomen and outer thighs...I weighed approx 130 when I had it and I went primarily to contour the areas that had always troubled me...my stomach, even 6 years later looks phenomenal. My outer thighs also, look amazing. I did have to get used to as I aged, working harder to maintain my posterior if you will...changes in hormones, age in general do tend to make things go south. You fail to mention your age, I wonder how great your skin was pre-op...are you continuing to diet and exercise to maintain your result...it certainly gets harder after liposuction to stay in fantastic shape. I also am curious, I know that Dr Lintner operates only in a JCAHO accredited Kennestone hospital...was your surgery somewhere else...you practically accuse him of assult by saying he preformed a procedure without consent...I find that hard to believe occuring in a hospital where I had to tell everyone that I met exactly what I was having done. And I am also assuming that you must be a plastic surgeon yourself as you have the credentials to say he's not competent. Sounds as if he may have a defamation of charecter suit...not that I am an attorney. If you are unhappy with your outcome, just say so...why are you slandering his name and reputation on the internet?I would not hesitate to use him or recommend him to anyone that I know. His staff is kind and competent and I strongly believe that if he knew that you were unhappy he'd try everything he could to fix it.
Went in for botox. Dr Litner told me they use it in diluted strength because it gives better results. I had absolutely no results from it. Waste of money and they are a rip off. Plus, after he injects it, he rubs and stretches the skin on your face incredibly hard (I mean as hard as he possibly can under your eyes and forehead, he says to smooth the botox out) I believe it was to stretch your skin so you would have to come in for a blepharoplasty! I'm not kidding. I've never been to such an incompetent dr. and can see why his previous practice told him to leave. *I had only gone because of the low price he offered on botox. Bad, bad idea.
This was the BEST thing I have ever donefor myself! I am so happy with the resultsthat I just keep looking at myself and smiling. Wow! I wish I would have done this sooner!Dr Lintner is just an excellentphysician and his staff is "golden"! Everything from consultation thru 4 weeks post-op has been better than expected. I had a breast reduction and lift, tummy tuck, and liposuction. If You are looking for the Best of the Best...Dr. Lintner
Very excellent Dr., and staff is top notch. This Surgeon works alongside his lovely wife and very attentive staff. I am just as impressed with them as I am with him. My surgery went well and I am actively healing now (4wks post op). This Dr. and his wife take personal cell phone calls during your recovery, which in my opinion is fantastic, as in a moment of panic I called at 1am and was recieved better than expected :)I am absolutly thrilled with my results and even more than happy with my choice in practice, as there are some Dr.'s out there to beware of, but rest assured Tom Lintner and his staff our the very best, and are all a class act.
Having to seek lots of repairs!!!!!
Fantastic doctor with fantastic staff. He is caring and a perfectionist. I cannot imagine any office staff or doctor who could be any better.
Skilled surgeon
I had surgery with Dr. Lintner about three years ago. After my initial consultation, it was clear that Dr. Lintner and his office staff were committed to making my surgery a very positive experience. There was a long process needed for insurance to cover part of my procedure, and Dr. Lintner's office staff was very helpful in helping me obtain approval for my surgery. I was especially impressed with the care I received post-op. Dr. Lintner provides his cell phone to his patients so they can call him directly should they have any questions. This was extremely reassuring to me, and even though I did not experience complications, I called Liz Lintner, Dr. Lintner's wife and First Surgical Assistant, to ensure my first three days post -op were progressing according to plan. Most importantly, Dr. Lintner's surgical skills are apparent in the wonderful results I have experienced. I could not be happier with the care I received and wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Lintner to my family and friends.
Dr. Lintner and his staff were so professional on all levels. My son had rinoplasty and they made him feel so comfortable in all aspects of the surgery. The surgery and recovery went just how they explained it to us and the staff was wonderful. The nose looks beautiful and my son has regained a lot more confidence, so it was so worth it. I am in the health care profession and my family was treated like I treat my own patients and could only praise Dr. Lintner and his staff.
Dr. Lintner and his staff are absolutely amazing!! From the very first moment I walked into their office for a consultation, I was welcomed with warm smiles and the most helpful, knowledgeable staff I've ever seen in a doctors office. Before, during and since my surgery, I received the ultimate level of care...the staff truly cares about each patient and they are amazingly knowledgeable, forthcoming with information and ready to answer all questions or concerns. They all made me feel very comfortable and well cared for throughout the entire duration of my procedureand my surgery turned out BEAUTIFULLY...Dr. Lintner is amazing and I couldnt be happier. Truly the best there is...
Dr. Lintner & his staff are wonderful! I have seen his work ethic first hand and couldn't be happier. I felt comfortable and ecstatic with my results. He was always available for any questions/concerns I had. I would recommend his office to my family members!
Dr. Lintner was my fourth doctor I had gone for consultation. I felt an assurance from him like no other doctor prior. He took over an hour to listen to what I wanted and to see what different options were avaiable. He was also the only doctor that explained the five diffent types of "tummy tuck". No other doctor ever explained that to me.He also explained the difference in surgical center and hospital. He never bad mouthed anyother facility but was very clear on the differences. After I had spoken to him I went to check out and Sabrina was clear and precise on procedure and costs. They were no hidden fees. I never felt pressured at all to book my appointment.I went home and still had to decide if this is what I wanted to do. It took me several months to finaly book the appointment. Till this day nine months later there has been NO REGRETS. I love myself again and I owe that to Dr. Lintner.
Everything about this practice is 5 star. Nothing is ever rushed, all questions and concerns are top priority. Dr. Thomas Lintner knows how to make his patients beautiful and create the necessary results. I have been to at least 5 other Atlanta PS and could not have picked a better doctor. His wife is the main nurse which adds comfort and added support. This network is loving and attentive. I will continue to rave about this practice for years and give all my future PS needs to them.
Dr. Lintner is the best doctor for his skills and working with you to achieve your goals. He has the best results and stands behind his work!

Restaurant Le Provencal
A long-running favourite
What we say:
This long-running favourite serves an excellent variety of traditional French cooking using local and imported ingredients. The deer (imported) cooked in red wine is exceptional and you'll find some of the best steak in town (all beef is imported) prepared with savoury cream sauces or simply grilled (80,000 -120,000 kip). All main courses are served with frites and ratatouille Nicoise.
Though the restaurant is unmistakably French, other European fare like bruschetta, pizza and pasta (from 50,000 kip) are also served, and the wood-fired pizza is particularly delicious.
Attentive service and a charming setting near the Namphu fountain are the icing on the gateau.

Supply Chain Matters Executive Interview with Kinaxis
This author recently had the opportunity to interview Kinaxis senior executive Trevor Miles where we explored some important topics related to multi-industry supply chain challenges and the Kinaxis efforts in supporting these challenges. In our conversation, we covered a number of topics related to supply chain business processes and enabling software technology, as well as the current state of predictive analytics.
The following summarizes our questions and dialogue.
Q: Would you describe for our readers, your current role with Kinaxis?
My role at Kinaxis is Vice President, Product Innovation and Thought Leadership, and my activities are focused in three areas. They include overseeing long-term strategic direction for products, working with key customers and prospects on future product direction, and providing an external voice for Kinaxis in areas of brand awareness, social-media dialogue and speaking at major conferences.
Q: What in your view have been some of the major accomplishments for Kinaxis during the past year?
We at Kinaxis are very pleased to see strong demand and continued traction among our key targeted industry verticals. The success of any SaaS company is obviously reflected in customer adoption and we are pleased with our broad market traction and customer adoption rates, highlighted in particularly by record quarterly growth in subscription revenue in Q1 of 2015.
From a product perspective, continued expansion of the Kinaxis RapidResponse functionality with the addition of multi-tiered inventory optimization, attribute-based planning and supply chain segmentation support continues to generate lots of customer interest.
A key business accomplishment was our very successful initial public offering last June on the Toronto Stock Exchange.
Q: In your travels, speaking at conferences and talking with prospects and customers, what do you sense as being the most dominant business process challenge described by cross-industry supply chain or Sales and Operations teams? In that same vein, what is described as the most significant technology challenge?
A frequent business process challenge often reflected by multi-industry sales and operations planning (S&OP) teams is the need to attack the various cross- functional information and decision-making silos involved in the process. I often hear needs related to having a more detailed understanding of the various tradeoffs of decision-making, especially related to various competing metrics. Today, many S&OP processes are supported by IT architecture that was largely functionally-focused which perpetuated islands of information. Whereas some of our competitors capture and synthesize data between organizations, our focus is to capture all pertinent information related to planning the entire supply chain.
Regarding the most significant technology focused challenge, it often relates to data. Many of our larger customers average upwards of 19 instances of an ERP application running across the supply chain network, some even higher. When considering today's needs reflected in S&OP and more frequent new product introduction cycles, some information is not even in the existing ERP system but resides elsewhere. The challenge is making sense of the data and providing proper context in making data actionable.
Industry analyst firm Gartner recently modified its technology maturity model to include five stages, instead of the prior four. Stage 3 equates to integration of all data sources, and I find that repeated over and over again. The challenge is making sense of information.
While we are on the topic of technology, we should include elements of talent management. Today, there is a clear need for a more horizontal focus and understanding of the supply chain. Some organizations have a talent pool that remains too focused on vertical functional requirements without full consideration of the various tradeoffs and impacts related to supply chain-wide decision making.
Q: How is Kinaxis preparing to address the challenges described above?
Customers are looking for a solution to two fundamental challenges. They include the constant need for IT resources to mine ERP data in the desired format and the ability to support larger planning models. The Kinaxis Data Integration Server is directed at these data harmonization needs. By feeding raw data into a separate server we can facilitate significant reduction in the memory requirements for the planning server, allowing greater and more responsive performance in planning process needs along with more flexibility in data integration needs.
Kinaxis RapidResponse is architected as a single data model for planning and it associates data to specific people responsible for decision-making. With the introduction of both an integration server for housing and categorizing raw data, the planning server can be even more responsive in generating supply chain wide planning models. If a demand planner changes the future forecast, there is feedback as to how-much of the plan is likely to be met on-time. Planners can be more proactively alerted to unplanned events, as well as the consequences of the event. Additional what-if scenarios can be generated to ascertain most feasible approaches and/or tradeoffs in accomplishing a certain plan.
Q: Kinaxis and its teams have spoken previously about the notions of Supply Chain Control Tower capabilities. What's your assessment of where this type of capability stands today? In your view, how long would it be before we begin to observe wider deployments of such capability?
There are two distinct approaches to control towers, one being a logistics execution approach, the other being an operations and planning resource approach. Kinaxis has advocated and supports the latter, but there is a role and value for both capabilities. The need to bring together planning and execution in a near real-time control tower perspective remains an important and differentiated capability.
The logistics approach is focused on day-to-day execution, namely "where's my stuff?" and "Is it on-time?" From a change management lens, many organizations are not ready to get their hands around both execution and planning and there is currently more internal support right now for an execution focus. However, Kinaxis remains committed in support of the planning and operations focused supply chain control tower.
Q: Supply Chain Matters describes how more predictive analytics capabilities will be widely incorporated within supply chain planning, S&OP and response management capabilities? In your view, what's the reasonable timetable for teams to expect to be able to leverage these capabilities across multi-industry supply chains?
Supply chain planning, in all its forms, has been predictive since its inception, demand forecasting being the perfect example. However we find that the notion of predictive analytics is a squishy term, and not clearly understood by industry supply chain teams. And the value of prescriptive analytics – for example, the ability to determine likely demand satisfaction issues based upon supplier decommits – has not been exploited fully by organizations. Supply chain communities are still trying to absorb the potential impacts of Internet of things and data lakes. These can be exploited by supply chain organizations to know sooner and act faster using prescriptive analytics. For predictive analytics it is more about knowing about the specifics of data being collected, the relevancy and context of the data before making the leap towards more predictive analytics. We do not see the supply chain organization leading the charge for predictive analytics, at least not now.

Announced JDA and IBM Collaboration for Retail Omni-Channel Support Has Broader Implications
The synchronization and management of the Omni-channel customer fulfillment experience has fast become a complex problem for retail industry business management and supply chain teams. The added dimensions of taking orders online or from physical stores and fulfilling from multiple channels adds complexity and needs for smarter and more-informed decision-making. Cost to serve and determining impact to profitability become ever more a challenge.
Yesterday, in conjunction with the Focus Connect 2014 event being held in Barcelona, JDA Software and IBM made a joint announcement that Supply Chain Matters believes demonstrates the ongoing importance and continued evolution of Supply Chain Control Tower (SCCT) support capabilities in the supply chain technology market. This announcement could also portray a possible broader relationship among these two technology providers in the months to come.
The specific announcement involves a joint collaboration among JDA and IBM development teams to address the need to process and fulfill retail industry Omni-channel orders in a more efficient and more intelligent manner. The approach calls for combining the elements of JDA's warehouse management, demand planning and workforce planning business support capabilities (JDA Intelligent Fulfillment and Labor Productivity) with IBM's Sterling Distributed Order Management network platform capabilities. In essence, this approach marries elements of supply chain planning and execution with an end-to-end order management and fulfillment platform that connects all channel participants. The combined capability is expected to be offered in either an on premise or cloud deployment option, the latter being supported by IBM's SoftLayer business arm. The joint development effort is currently underway and according to the announcement, is expected to be available in late spring of 2015.
This author had the opportunity to speak with IBM regarding the joint announcement. Discussions among these two technology providers began in January of this year at the National Retail Federation (NRF) conference. Both companies have a rather strong market presence among global retailers and each was hearing customers speak to the increasingly complex challenges currently manifested in Omni-channel customer fulfillment, including the dynamic aspects of having to manage the tradeoffs of inventory, appropriate fulfillment location, transportation and labor requirement needs. In May of this year, our Supply Chain Matters commentary associated with attendance at IBM's Smarter Commerce Summit highlighted the evolving dimensions of Omni-channel and the needs to provide more predictive and prescriptive decision-making capabilities into the process.
The joint press release includes a quote from joint customer Lowe's Home Improvement, and we were informed that both firms have identified interest from other unnamed retailers as well. Apparently, the original timetable called for announcement of joint product integrating JDA and IBM elements later in 2015, but it was obviously pushed-up to coincide with this week's JDA customer event.
Our supply chain and B2B business community education series regarding SCCT has articulated that the concepts of control towers involve efforts to bring together supply chain planning and execution business process elements with enhanced intelligence and more predictive decision-making that can be provided in near real-time dimensions. There have been a number of strategic movements underway among multiple supply chain, enterprise and ERP technology vendors to build, broaden or position SCCT capabilities. We view this JDA-IBM joint announcement as yet another dimension of such efforts. JDA has the potential to leverage a broader more feature-rich distributed order network platform that supports more dynamic process parameters while IBM garners access to deeper retail-specific supply chain planning and execution support functionality. We have been informed that JDA is building and architectural framework that supports plug-in capabilities from other vendors, similar to what we have heard from supply chain planning providers such as Steelwedge and its connection to the Salesforce.com platform. Similarly, supply chain business network provider E2open augmented supply chain planning and product management support capabilities with the acquisition of Icon-SCM and Serus Corporation respectively.
As noted in our previous commentaries, IBM has been integrating elements of Sterling order management and B2B messaging capabilities with its IBM Emptoris sourcing and procurement business suite, and has communicated efforts to bring the predictive elements of Watson decision-making to online fulfillment and supply chain synchronization challenges. Thus, the SCCT business process support elements continue to broaden from many dimensions and are a sign of what will transpire from SCCT support technology down the road.
In the meantime, readers and joint JDA and IBM customers should watch the ongoing joint efforts among both providers for further signs of what is to come. Just like the prior announcement of the partnership among IBM and Apple, both parties provide the potential to remove the information integration burden for today's highly complex supply chains.
Disclosure: IBM, E2open and Steelwedge have current or prior business relationships with the Ferrari Consulting and Research Group, parent of the Supply Chain Matters blog.
The Implications of SAP Run Simple for Supply Chain Applications Support
SAP conducted its annual Sapphire NOW users conference in the U.S. and utilized this customer forum to once again communicate significant changes and implications concerning future direction. The prime theme that SAP management delivered to customers was the SAP Run Simple message, which for many day-to-day users of SAP, is a message that is received with some cynicism. None the less, the implications are rather profound and real. Supply Chain Matters penned a prior commentary regarding the implications of SAP's new strategies focused on integrated business planning that has since received significant reader and social media activity.
Among the keynotes delivered at Sapphire was the often anticipated talk by Hasso Plattner, one of the original founders of the company and existing Chairperson of the company's Supervisory Board. While Hasso's annual talks to SAP customers tend to sometimes be academic and lengthy, they often contain candor and important insights regarding SAP direction or missteps in the market. This year was no exception.
One of the most significant messages delivered by Hasso was that enterprise software running on-premise is going to the cloud, no matter what. That is why SAP's new strategic emphasis is now all about reengineering for "the cloud." The message from Hasso was that it is no longer a matter of if but rather a matter of time. That alone is a significant message coming from SAP's founder and most influential investor. He further indicated that four years ago, SAP leadership was initially very apprehensive regarding the challenge to change 400 million lines of code within its ERP backbone system, but has now come to the conclusion that it would have no choice but to do so. Software that was designed many years ago under different assumptions related to business processes and existing technology at the time, now has to better match the realities of today's new business and technology paradigms. Hasso's drumbeat message remains: "simplicity beats complexity".
A very significant implication of SAP's ongoing re-engineering towards leveraging HANA and the cloud is the goal to eliminate "aggregates" within its internal system's functions. Aggregates are when the system calculates for instance, gross margin, income statements or a supply chain planning optimization. Long-time SAP APO user teams can best relate to this concept by considering APO's in-memory or former "live cache" design concept, where all planning related transactional and master data is drawn into the planning engine to formulate optimized supply chain plans.
Instead, the new HANA based cloud or on-premise technology will store all of SAP transactional data in memory (column-store) and will respond to information needs and reporting requirements by assembling models and algorithms on top of transactional data. The implication is a system with a far smaller footprint that users will eventually have the infinite freedom to re-arrange information hierarchy's on-the-fly in a matter of a few seconds. By Hasso's description, that opens opportunities for the system to perform all functions via models and algorithms and the ability to perform more predictive and simulation based analysis capabilities based on system-wide data.
Other significant implications will be the even more critical importance to accurate master data, internal skills in modeling and simulation of supply chain related data and the ability of supply chain planning and fulfillment teams to perform multitudes of what-if or target supply chain goal fulfillment analysis.
Of course, this broad and sweeping scope of SAP focused change is going to take additional time, perhaps years in scope. There will be critical decisions that customers will need to make over that time period. At Sapphire, SAP further communicated its increased dependence on select key partners to assist both SAP and its existing customers to more quickly and successfully navigate this ongoing and significant transition.
Existing SAP customers need to seriously think about the implications of this shift in technology direction, especially as it relates to supporting today's and tomorrow's broader and more complex supply chain management needs. While complexity and frustration may rule today's mindsets, start seriously thinking about what these new changes imply for integrated supply chain and business planning support needs under the SAP HANA enabled banner. Such changes involve a changing mindset, new and different skill needs as well as a reliance on a trusted external consulting and support partner.
It is no secret that SAP APO, while designed as a bullet-proof supply chain planning system built around SAP master and transactional data, is somewhat difficult and inflexible in its ability to provide a means to support rapidly changing supply chain business processes or to support a new data paradigm where the majority of supply chain related data exists in an external demand or supply network. In a prior Supply Chain Matters posting, we noted that the structural design rigor and tight internal system linkages has led to many work arounds, including spreadsheets and supplemental systems. In many cases, the full potential of supply chain optimization, such as optimized supply planning is avoided because of the complexity and lack of understanding of innards of SAP APO. However, those teams that have taken the dedicated time and patience to learn and understand such innards with supplemental tools have managed to leverage APO functionality and subsequent benefits.
As noted in prior commentaries, as SAP continues to build out its described muscle platform, organizations need to focus efforts on the further mastering of broad-based supply chain planning and fulfillment process modeling, optimization, simulation and master data management capabilities. There are available tools and knowledgeable partners who can help you to re-focus your current efforts and direction and better respond to line of business needs, customer fulfillment or product management requirements, while helping to facilitate the skills and new capabilities roadmap that prepares for what will come in the new world of SAP.
Key SAP strategic partners such as Intrigo Systems, are not only focused on SAP APO, but the broader SAP Supply Chain Management, both today, and in the realities of the SAP HANA enabled environment. The Intrigo Systems Optek tool suite consists of modules that have been designed to place the planner more in control of the process while making SAP APO functionally more effective today, and in the future capabilities of SAP Supply Chain Management.

Breaking Technology News: E2open to Acquire SERUS Corporation
Cloud-based, end-to-end supply chain business network provider E2open has announced this evening the acquisition of cloud-based manufacturing and product management provider SERUS Corporation. According to the announcement, the transaction is valued at approximately $18.5 million at closing (comprised of approximately $14.5 million in cash and $4.0 million in E2open common stock), with up to an additional $7.5 million in cash contingent upon the achievement of certain revenue-related financial performance milestones.
SERUS's capabilities as a one to many cloud-based network provider include the ability to integrate product management and new product introduction information management needs up and down a primarily outsourced supply chain. Supply Chain Matters featured our profile of SERUS in March of this year and we were impressed with the capabilities of their platform in supporting product management information integration up and down an outsourced supply network.
This announced acquisition is the second for E2open, after becoming a public company. The former was the stunning acquisition of supply chain collaborative and scenario planning technology provider of icon-scm for $34 million in total consideration in July 2013.
SERUS's roots include initial adoption by a number of semiconductor focused manufacturers with complex supply chain business and information flows. This provider has of late expanded beyond semiconductor to high tech, consumer electronics and contract manufacturing supply network environments. Named lighthouse customers include AMD, Flextronics,Juniper, Micron, Nvidia, Sun Microsystems division of Oracle, Qualcomm/Atheros, among others. Industry supply chains such as aerospace, automotive, industrial equipment and telecommunications have further been targets for SERUS. Each deal with complex bill of material environments, have adopted more dependency on digital software and electronics content in respective products and have more dependency on outsourced suppliers and trading and design partners.
As noted in the press release announcement from E2open, from this author's perspective, the combination of SERUS and E2open has the potential to provide the broadest set of capabilities for business networks in the market today. Ironically, this author delivered a SERUS sponsored webinar last week. During that webinar we conducted an interactive poll of participants that indicated that participants are predominately dealing with challenges in reducing NPI cycle time and improving supplier and product management collaboration. One of my key takeaways for our audience was that leveraging and end-to-end supply-demand network to address needs for bidirectional product management information and deeper collaboration with contract manufacturers, suppliers and design partners is the new opportunity for industry supply chains to effectively compete on responsiveness, quality, and speed to market.
With the combination of E2open and SERUS, the market will have the opportunity to evaluate a business network provider that incorporates a far broader collection of collaborative planning, scenario management synchronized execution, and now product design and management bidirectional integration capabilities.
Supply Chain Matters will provide a more in-depth commentary concerning what this acquisition will offer for industry supply chains at a later date, after the official closing. Suffice to note at this point that cloud-based end-to-end supply chain capabilities that combine planning and synchronized customer fulfillment, and now PLM and product management, have become very attractive for the market, and will continue to motivate these types of announcements.

SAP's Newly Articulated Supply Chain Applications Roadmap- S&OP and IBP are the Linchpin
SAP AG will kickoff its joint annual Sapphire-ASUG customer conference this week which will feature revised messaging and strategic direction for the SAP Supply Chain Management suite of applications. This strategy was initially shared at the SAP Insider Supply Chain Management conference in early April as a prelude to this week's Sapphire event.
SAP will communicate the need for businesses to transform their supply chains to demand networks which implies deeper, more agile support capabilities for integrated business planning (IBP), specifically, the sales and operations planning (S&OP) process. SAP's perspective in IBP capabilities is communicated as balancing product demand plans with supply network constraints for profitability, as well as the sensing and shaping of product demand to orchestrate customer fulfillment needs and requirements. In essence, SAP's intent is to enhance and deploy a broader, next generation supply chain platform that is described as a broad, many to many supply chain control tower platform capability underpinned by IBP and response orchestration. The technology will be offered on either a cloud-based or on premise deployment leveraging the SAP HANA platform and more than likely tap the supply network capabilities of Ariba.
As our SAP installed base readers are well aware, the transformation of such a broad collection of SAP supply chain network and applications capabilities will take many subsequent years to accomplish and will require SAP focused supply chain business and IT teams to make difficult decisions over that same period. In the meantime, supply chain teams need to continue to manage today's supply chain needs for agility , increased responsiveness as well as enhanced efficiencies.
It is important to consider that as SAP builds out its new muscle platform, organizations that are invested in SAP and want to continue to gain more productive benefits need to focus their efforts on further mastering broad-based supply chain planning process modeling, simulation and master data management integration capabilities. Another important consideration is that the SAP Sales and Operations Planning (S&OP), powered by HANA will become ever more strategic for enabling what SAP seeks to achieve.
Supply Chain Matters recently featured a commentary focused on this application. In our commentary we observed that getting up-to-speed and supporting a process that spans such a broad level of participation and influence with an application with this current level of sophistication, often requires the external assistance of an SAP implementation partner. In that commentary, we called reader attention to Intrigo Systems, a focused SAP implementation partner with a high level of honed experience, knowledge and fixed scope implementation methodologies related to SAP's S&OP Powered by HANA application.
While SAP Sales and Operations Planning, Powered by SAP HANA is a cloud-based application, the needs for managed scope, proven phased implementation of data integration, coupled with considerations for change management and usability uptake remain critical. As this application further matures and becomes the linchpin for short-term, mid and long-term supply chain and IBP within a more product demand sensing SAP environment, process modeling, robust master data integration and cross-functional user adoption and productivity will be a must for core capabilities. Continuous engagement with business users on testing and maturing the IBP process, while understanding what capabilities would be most important in the strategic roadmap are equally crucial to long-term acceptance and adoption.
In its latest messaging, SAP has acknowledged the critical importance of its supply chain partner eco-system in helping users to gain more benefits and positive outcomes from use of SAP technology. That listing of partners includes Intrigo Systems which will be showcasing its capabilities at Sapphire this week.
Intrigo provides both the knowledge, proven experience and close alignment with SAP's strategic direction concerning this application and should be on your short-list for adopting an implementation partner.

Quantification of the Renewed Venture Capital Interest in Supply Chain Focused Technology and Services
In my years of observation and insights related to supply chain focused software and technology, I am often asked the question of how attractive certain supply chain and cloud-based B2B platform technology has become for venture funding. After all, venture-backed funding has a track record for spawning leading-edge supply chain focused technology.
If you have been keeping-up with Supply Chain Matters postings, you would have sensed that supply chain technology has again become attractive and has garnered a new wave of venture capital funding in new start-ups. The question was: how attractive?
The executive team of start-up cloud-based supply chain network provider Elementum provided this author a web link to a posting published on the CB Insights Blog, a site that quantifies and tracks venture capital investments. The posting titled: Software Eats the Supply Chain provides succinct quantification of the renewed venture capital interest in supply chain focused technology. The posting quantifies that over the last four quarters, investors poured $359M into 63 deals in the logistics & supply chain software industry segment. That is a considerable slug of money over a short period of time. On a year-over-year basis, deal activity has increased 50 percent in a displayed graph that extends back to Q1-2010.
Rather interesting is that the posting notes that the increasing complexity of global supply chains has peaked interest in primarily Stage One, early stage investments in mobility, same-day delivery and cloud based end-to-end platform investments. My interpretation is that investors are seeking the next "big wave" of technology focused customer solutions directed at overcoming supply chain complexity and time critical dimensions of customer fulfillment. More responsive supply chain logistics and supply chain control tower capabilities seem to be the new attraction.
Whatever the reasons, this new wave of private and public investments is good for supply chains and B2B focused networks since it assures that product innovation will continue to primarily stem from up and coming or best-of-breed market providers.
That is indeed the good news for industry supply chain teams as well as all technology and services oriented players.

South Sudan Army Killed 23 Civilians in Recent Incidents
UN 'Aware' of Allegations as Army Insists Someone Else Must've Done It
South Sudanese officials are conceding that their military, the SPLA, is responsible for two incidents in the past week in which they rounded up civilians and massacred them, with a combined death toll of 23.
Such incidents are nothing new, with the South Sudanese military regularly insinuating itself into local clashes which end up with massive death tolls that almost always include large numbers of civilians.
The UN Mission in South Sudan (UNMISS) has often downplayed the reports of major civilian death tolls, but today confirmed it was "aware" of the latest incidents, and would do some sort of investigation.
The SPLA, for its part, insisted everyone that they executed in the Jonglei incident "must be people that belonged to Yauyau," referring to a local rebel militia, noting that just because the slain were dressed as civilians doesn't mean they were civilians.

The problem with US imperialism is not just, that they steal the oil.
Also the imperialist requirement to divide and rule, which requires hunting each ethnic, political, economical, religious, criminal etc. group against each other in deathly manner.
But one has to confess, that US corporations are really clever to use the USA state and military for stealing in the whole world.
US citizens get fooled and pay, but the corporations get rich indefinitely.

Life is too short, have to live it to the fullest!
Just a nice girl looking for someone special. Currently I am really into running and fitness. I love going to the park in the afternoons and feeling the beautiful sun on my skin. I love celebrating holidays because I get to enjoy everything I love together: family, friends, pets, food, and good times. I love to see new things. I would love to see as much of the US and Mexico as I can. Since these are the places I feel most connected to, these would be the places I would like to visit first. I am most interested in visiting Spain, Italy, and the Holy Land. I'm Mexican, my family is from NL Mexico. I am looking for someone to be my complement, someone who will bring out the best in me. I can't say that I have an ideal, because I don't think it is right to have one. If you have one you are always measuring someone up to an imaginary standard, one you have never experienced. That is not fair. You are not giving yourself or that other person what they deserve. Growing up I always thought of planning for the future and the future is here. I am living life to the fullest because life is short. For some reason God has always helped things fall into place for me. So I have no doubt that more good things are to come.

Rating: 5/5Reccomend for any gardener
This review is from: Ames True Temper 1866300 Action Hoe
Pros: I work as a groundskeeper for a botanical garden that uses very minimal chemical control. I also hate weeding. This saves loads of times on big garden beds that get hit heavy with weeds. All you need to do is run this back and forth across weedy areas and rake up what you take out. I know some people are really thorough with weeding, and feel like they need to pull each weed up by the roots to keep them from coming back, but even something with a large taproot can only store so much energy, and once you've taken them out with one of these a few times they don't come back. Also saves your back a lot of pain.
Cons: The only con that I can think of is that you need to be aware of where all your plants are that stay dormant in spring. You can do some serious damage to any shallow bulbs you might have if you're doing really crazy with this thing.

It's summer and time to get out and have some fun in the sun...
I'm direct and sincere. I enjoy life and I'd like to meet someone with similar interests as well as someone I am physically attracted to. I know character and loyalty seemed to be old fashioned and outdated characteristics but I still find both cornerstones of who I am. I am a man who is open to all the possibilities in life because intimidation or limitation are two feelings I don't know much about. I'm too busy being grateful for all I've done, all those I've been blessed to have touched in a positive way, and all I hope to yet learn and do. And as a result my life is chock full of spontaneity of adventure and meeting interesting people in the unlikeliest of places. I'm just that kinda guy. :-) As for the rest, I like all sorts of activities. But I particularly enjoy outdoor activities such as skydiving, hiking and fishing, exploring new people and places, horseback riding, car trips, and riding motorcycles, to name a few. In the summer I'd much rather ride with the windows rolled down so that I can feel the wind on my face. I really enjoy flying and am fortunate to have a friend living in Hawaii who owns a plane. :-) I like listening to the stories of others or just sharing a quiet moment while enjoying the breathtaking views that surround us everyday. I can talk about nearly anything and I love to learn new things. I believe that I'm solely responsible for my happiness or lack thereof.. I'll get out what I put in. At least that's been my experience. If you are too caught up in those things that we can surely not take with us and you take yourself too seriously, we will not mix well. Don't get me wrong, I like the good things in life, and I think that's borne out in my lifestyle, but they just don't identify who I am anymore. Say hi, I'd love to meet you. We'll worry about the rest later. Keep smiling! Ron
