Possible Outcome of Extreme Rules Main Event
It's pretty much a foregone conclusion that Brock Lesnar will defeat Triple H on Sunday at Extreme Rules, or at least it should be. The two will square off for the third time since SummerSlam 2012 in a steel cage match, and it's likely this will be the conclusion of their feud.
Some will argue that the feud should have been concluded after Lesnar defeated Triple H in their first match, and I'd agree with that. Others would say that the feud should have ended when Triple H got his win back at WrestleMania, and I'd agree with that as well. Nevertheless, this is what we're getting at the next pay-per-view so let's try to think of a good outcome.
WWE.com put up an interesting post this week which pondered the thought of there being another "Paul Heyman Guy." It included insight from current stars like The Miz who wondered what Heyman would have to offer him. Kofi Kingston also mentioned that anyone who isn't interested in having Paul Heyman as a representative would be foolish.
It could be interesting to see either one of these two have some role in the main event and help give Lesnar the win. Miz and Kingston are both babyfaces, so there would be more shock value in one of those two doing the deed for Heyman's guy. Triple H could then move on from his feud with Lesnar and work with either one of these two at the next pay-per-view.
There's also one more person we should keep in mind – CM Punk. I'm aware that he's on a hiatus from wrestling, but that doesn't mean he shouldn't have any involvement in this match. Don't be surprised if you see Punk preventing Triple H from escaping the cage, allowing Lesnar to exit with the win. This scenario could lead to a CM Punk vs. Triple H rematch from Night of Champions 2011 when Punk eventually returns so Punk could get his win back this time.
People could be saying that Punk shouldn't show up on TV until he's ready to make his official comeback. Steve Austin was on a hiatus himself from November 1999 to September 2000. In the middle of that time, he showed up at Backlash to assist The Rock in a WWF Championship win over none other that Triple H. So, no, it's not unlikely that Punk would come back for one night during his time off to make an impact.
The Shield could also have some play in this match, but I don't see anything coming out of it if they did. It would likely be a random attack, similar to Nexus randomly burying The Undertaker alive at Bragging Rights 2010. We already know Paul Heyman hired the Shield in November, so it really wouldn't be unexpected to see them attack Triple H.
Several outcomes are possible in this main-event, but something has to happen that will keep the ball rolling. Otherwise, it's just a couple of part-timers who won't be back headlining another pay-per-view. Lesnar could win this match clean like he did the first time at SummerSlam, but that wouldn't result in further material for either one of the two.
I'm interested to see what they end up doing.

TORONTO, ONTARIO -- (Marketwired) -- 03/24/14 -- (TSX: XIC)(TSX: XEI)(TSX: XSH)(TSX: CAB)(TSX: CAB.A)(TSX: XLB)(TSX: XSP)(TSX: XUS)(TSX: XEF)(TSX: XEC)
iShares, the industry-leading exchange-traded fund (ETF) business at BlackRock Asset Management Canada Limited (BlackRock Canada), an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of BlackRock, Inc. (BlackRock), today announced the launch of the iShares Core Series for Canadian investors. As part of this launch the annual management fee on its iShares S&P/TSX Capped Composite Index ETF(i) (XIC) will be lowered to 0.05%, making Canada's benchmark-of-choice available at a very attractive low price. With $1.37 billion in assets under management (as of 03/21/14) and a 13-year track record of reliably delivering Canadian equity exposure, XIC is the low-cost flagship among a total of nine existing iShares funds in the iShares Core Series. BlackRock Canada has announced reductions to the annual management fees payable as a percentage of net asset value for all of the funds in the iShares Core Series, now ranging from 0.05% - 0.25% depending on the fund, effective as of March 25, 2014, described in the table below.
As the ETF market leader, with a 15 year history in ETFs in Canada and over $42 billion in AUM, the launch of the iShares Core Series signals another great step in our commitment to serving the needs of investors. The iShares Core Series is a suite of low-cost funds specifically designed for the long-term needs of today's investors by combining competitive pricing with diversified products using established index providers. The suite of funds cover key asset classes used by Canadian investors in their portfolios today, including Canadian equities, dividends and bonds, as well as U.S. and international equities.
"As we look to build on BlackRock's leadership position in Canada, we are taking another step to bolster our value proposition for investors," said Noel Archard, Managing Director, Head of BlackRock Canada. "We have brought the benefits of our global scale to an iShares Core Series in Canada, a low-cost range of key investment exposures for long-term investors."
iShares Core Series: Low-Cost, Core Exposures for Canadian Investors' Asset Allocation Needs
"iShares funds are used by individual investors, advisors, and institutions to express their views," said Mary Anne Wiley, Managing Director, Head of iShares Canada. "Our iShares Core Series provides all of these investors with the opportunity to efficiently create the core of their portfolio and execute their investment strategies."
With greater choice and diversity of products in the evolving ETF marketplace, Canadian investors are becoming increasingly savvy at using ETFs to meet their asset allocation strategies. Especially when it comes to their long-term core holdings, they are looking for any advantage to grow their wealth over time. Now, with new pricing on the iShares Core Series of nine iShares funds, BlackRock Canada is providing retail investors and their advisors with significant price flexibility as they implement their core asset allocation strategies more affordably - all backed by the quality, liquidity and transparency that has made iShares the Canadian ETF market leader.
At BlackRock, we believe investors should strengthen the core of their portfolios with low-cost, efficient products such as the iShares Core Series and complement their asset allocation strategies with outcome-based solutions designed to address more specific needs, from earning income in retirement to capitalizing on short-term market opportunities.
A growing number of institutional investors are already adopting this approach as they realize the benefits of ETFs as efficient, liquid building blocks to execute their investment strategies. A recent Greenwich Associates survey1 found that ETFs, while still popular for short-term tactical allocations such as cash equitization and manager transitions, are increasingly being used by institutions for strategic applications such as building liquidity overlays to core holdings. In fact, according to the Greenwich survey, the percentage of institutions using ETFs in this way has risen from just 3% in 2010 to 31% in 2013 - a dramatic 1,000% increase. Institutions are also using ETFs more and more as part of their "active beta" strategies, in which the funds allow them to execute highly targeted, outcome-based allocations.
Now, with the launch of the iShares Core Series, BlackRock is making this approach to ETF investing more broadly and more efficiently available to all investors - from institutions to retail investors.
"As more and more investors turn to ETFs for the diversification and exposures they seek in the core of their portfolios, we saw the opportunity to offer a cost-effective suite of funds that provide the professional quality you expect from iShares," added Wiley. "We believe that every investor is unique, and with this focused suite of funds, investors have the opportunity to match their long-term core holdings to their individual needs and still have the flexibility to complement them with more specialized ETFs that suit their specific objectives."
TABLE: Led by XIC, the iShares Core Series, a suite of newly priced ETFs is designed to meet the long-term needs of investors as they build the core positions of their portfolios and execute their asset allocation strategies.

(i) In addition, the iShares funds changed their names effective March 25, 2014 in order to replace the word "Fund" with "ETF" and/or to reflect changes to the name of their underlying index.
+/- The advisor class of the iShares High Quality Canadian Bond Index ETF with the ticker CAB.A has also changed its annual management fee to 0.12% from its current annual management fee of 0.30%.
beta In connection with the significant reduction of its annual management fee, the fee structure of the iShares S&P 500 Index ETF (CAD-Hedged) (XSP) will be changed effective March 25, 2014 from its current fee structure to a total annual fee structure, such that the total annual fees paid directly to BlackRock Canada and indirectly to any of its affiliates in connection with any underlying funds in which XSP may invest, will not exceed the annual management fee set out in the table above. Previously, the annual management fee payable in relation to XSP represented the sum of a variable underlying product fee paid to an affiliate of BlackRock Canada and a fixed management fee payable to BlackRock Canada.

Too often with compelling new technologies market participants become overly enamored with that attractiveness of the technology and neglect underlying business drivers. This tendency, what some call the "newest shiny object syndrome," is understandable given that virtually all of us are heavily engaged in technology. But it is also mistaken. Without concrete business cases driving its deployment, IoT, like many other technologies before it, will fade into obscurity.

The President's Corner: July/August 2015
In a 2012 report for The King's Fund, Foundation cofounder Al Mulley and colleagues described the problem of misdiagnosis of patients' preferences. "Preference misdiagnosis" may be the most common form of medical error in health care. It can occur when a person has more than one medically reasonable course of action open to him or her. A clinician, sometimes supported by recommendations from clinical practice guidelines, may prescribe or withhold a treatment based on what the evidence best supports and what he or she thinks the patient would want. However, research shows that among fully informed patients who understand a certain treatment's possible benefits and risks, some would want that prescribed treatment, and some would not want that treatment prescribed. While there is evidence that preference misdiagnosis occurs, its epidemiology and solutions have not been well described. Continue reading
Three Elements for Better Studies Evaluating the Effects of Decision Aids
The study designs needed to collect this data vary, and no one study is going to collect data addressing all of these important evaluative questions. However, we very much need more quality data on when and how using DAs affects patient care, and we should try to take advantage of every opportunity to collect good evaluation data when DAs are introduced into a new setting. There are three elements to think about when considering the collection of evaluation data. Continue reading
Do the Decision Aids Lead to Better Decisions?
How would we know a "better" decision if we saw one? Donald Berwick, former director of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, proposed what he called the "Triple Aim": better health care and better health at lower cost. One way to answer the question of whether the decisions are "better"—and thereby demonstrate the "value" of using DAs and other patient support materials—is to collect data to evaluate how each of these aims is affected.

Rent it Right
If you did -- if you said, for example, that it was crime-free, or extremely safe, or that the tenant would have nothing to fear -- you might have set up an expectation that the tenant was justified in relying on.
That you couldn't deliver on these promises is beside the point: Once you assure the applicant that something important is true, but it turns out not to be true, that applicant can argue that she was misled on a "deal breaker" point. That might give her the legal right to break the lease.

It was the weirdest feeling! I was woken up by a slight pain in my abdomen in the middle of the night, then just behind and below my belly button I felt this little flutter! I don't know how else to describe it but I've never felt anything like it before. I'm alittle over 10 weeks, has anyone else felt any movement this early??
I think I felt some flutters for the first time!
Posted 09/29/2012

Nope, but that doesn't mean you didn't. It's fun to think that's what it was, at the very least!

I am 12w1d. This is my 3rd pregnancy. I have been feeling flutters for a week now. I don't care f people think I'm crazy. I know that's my baby.
Posted 09/29/2012
I don't want to burst any bubbles, especially since I do think babies can be felt very early, but anatomically, this couldn't have been baby. Your uterus isn't anywhere near you belly button, in fact it is just bairly at your pelvic bones. If you described that feeling down low in your pelvis, I'd say that's cool, but if it was that high, either you are further along, have more than one munchkin in there, or you are feeling the flutters of gas. :(
Posted 09/30/2012
Yes im a little over 10wks and i feel flutters every day now..this is also my third pregnancy ...it is possible this early and some women are just more in tune with their bodies.

@ourskunk...it's my baby. I never stated where my flutters were coming from. These are way below my belly button. But that's beside the point.
Posted 09/30/2012
@kflo- she's talking to OP who said that she felt the movement below her belly button. There is no reason to be nasty.
Posted 09/30/2012
Yes!! I first felt mine @ 10 weeks & everyone thinks I'm crazy but its an unmistakable feeling!

'Mechatronics' is Central to How Siemens Recruits and Trains Qualified Engineers for its Combined-Cycle Gas Turbine Manufacturing Plant
When Siemens AG decided to focus the manufacturing of state-of-the-technology combined-cycle natural gas turbines in Charlotte, North Carolina, it encountered difficulty securing the needed technicians and skilled machinists and welders. It moved quickly to fill the gap with a relatively unique combination of initiatives to identify, recruit, educate and train the personnel who could help make the facility a go-to source for these increasingly important power generation systems.
Siemens Energy partnered with Charlotte's Apprenticeship 2000, Central Piedmont Community College and later the University of North Carolina at Charlotte to supply the personnel Siemens could begin to count on by focusing on "mechatronics."
Mechatronics is an emerging multidisciplinary field coined by engineering thought leaders in Germany – Siemens' home country – that integrates engineering coursework. Originally, mechatronics focused mostly on mechanics and electronics, hence the combination of mechanics and electronics. As technical systems have become more complex the word has been broadened to include more technical areas, and now often includes software development.
During an interview last week at the CERAWeek energy conference in Houston, Siemens U.S. CEO Eric Spiegel said, "We needed to interview close to 2,000 individuals just to fill a few positions for year-long training."
That wasn't going to cut it. And the outlook for fielding a sufficient workforce was bleak. Spiegel said the shortfall is understandable because schools withdrew these programs (back in the 1990s): there were virtually no jobs for students to pursue. "U.S. companies simply stopped training in a lot of these areas," Spiegel said.
To meet its near-term needs, Siemens created a year-long training program in Orlando for hundreds of workers who had the requisite computer, engineering, software and math skills. But the long-term challenge of recruiting enough qualified workers remained.
These combined cycle natural gas turbines are the focus of Siemens manufacturing hub in Charlotte, NC. CREDIT: Siemens
"If you take a look at the demographics," Spiegel said, "whether you're talking about the oil and gas industry, the power sector or manufacturing in general, over the next 10 years the people with deep experience in these industries are going to be retiring."
To make up for that and develop a long-term solution, Siemens decided to start from scratch. It asked how state leaders could help out and promised to pick up the tab.
"We set up an apprentice program where we're now hiring young people out of high school to go to (Central Piedmont) Community College to be trained in mechatronics," Spiegel said.
Siemens US Head of Talent Acquisition, Mike Brown said for Siemens, mechatronics is particularly effective today with the proliferation of software-based solutions.
"Some of the components we make required a blend of mechanical, electrical, IT and propulsion disciplines . . . It represents what is real today for workers and for Siemens. We're starting to see more companies and educational institutions embracing it," Brown said. "Even the larger engineering schools are starting to look at blending their disciplines."
In addition to training future employees, Central Piedmont Community College also partnered with Siemens' Technik Academy in Berlin to train seven of their teachers on a Mechatronics curriciulm. These seven individuals became experts in implementing a Mechtronics curriculum, Brown said.
Today, the frist 18 participants in the program are working at the plant. "They go to class part time, they work in a plant part-time," Spiegel said. "We pay them while they work. After 3 and ½ years, (they'll) have a degree in mechatronics, a Journeyman's certificate from the state of North Carolina, an Associate's Degree and they've been paid so they have no debt and . . . a real skill."
At this point, all 1,500 employees at the plant have received some form of training. The company has hired about 400 into skilled manufacturing roles.
Going forward, Siemens plans on scaling up mechatronics offerings in other manufacturing locations throughout the U.S. Siemens' commitment was spotlighted by President Obama during his 2012 State of the Union address. Watch the video clip here.
With the commitment Siemens was making to Charlotte and combined-cycle gas turbine technology, the companyforged an even bigger foundation, working with the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. There, it developed a program to help build its energy production manufacturing capabilities at the University's Engineering Product & Infrastructure Center, or EPIC.
"We chose to help the university, even in their engineering programs, to improve their understanding of what's required at the engineering level for gas turbines," Spiegel explained.
"The oil and gas industry and manufacturing generally in the U.S. have a bit of a branding problem in the United States," Spiegel said. To fix that, Siemens is working to nurture in energy at the middle school level and not wait until college with hopes students will become interested.
"If you wait until high school and they don't have the right STEM (for science, technology, engineering and math) skills they're not going to be successful going to college," he said.
"They say most kids start getting excited about a career in 3rd, 4th or 5th grade," Spiegel said."They may not know what career it is they want, but that's when they start getting excited about topics and subjects."

Interesting article. Well done Siemens, the Germans are the world leaders in engineering apprenticeships. US industry can learn a lot from Siemens and other German engineering companies; training first, then comes the quality, then the profits.
Jim Pierobon says:
Thank you for the feedback. I would have thought Siemens' approach was not so unique. Not only was I off the mark, I was impressed how their approach, in collaboration with the community and the state, is a model for manufacturers throughout the U.S. to capitalize on the rebirth of manufacturing there.
Rick Engebretson says:
No thanks to me, Jim. This well written article, well designed program, and important new technology are deeply appreciated by me.
Anecdotally, as a grad student building chemistry instrumentation, I knew who I depended on. I eventually got special shop treatment using the pro shop because I respectfully cleaned up my mess. Everybody else was a "theoretical chemist."
When I moved to a farm area, I had the opportunity to use a blacksmith shop and learn farm machinery. I just got a book about the North Dakota blacksmith farmer (E.G. Melroe) who invented the pick-up conveyor for combines. He also later marketed the "Bobcat" skid loader. Good luck to all the smart lawyer kids with your scythe and shovel!
Most of the old guys I learned from are now retired and rebuilding antique cars. Without an industrial policy, we're done. It might be too little too late, but best of luck to you and Siemens.
Rick Engebretson says:
A perfectly woven introduction to a core problem in "developed" societies. Everybody wants stuff, but nobody knows how to make it. Agriculture and foods are in the same situation. Very interesting article describing attempted fixes.

Discrete Manufacturing (ERP)
The simplified definition of enterprise resource planning (ERP) software is a set of applications that automate finance and human resources departments and help manufacturers handle jobs such as order processing and production scheduling. ERP began as a term used to describe a sophisticated and integrated software system used for manufacturing. In its simplest sense, ERP systems create interactive environments designed to help companies manage and analyze the business processes associated with manufacturing goods, such as inventory control, order taking, accounting, and much more. Although this basic definition still holds true for ERP systems, today its definition is expanding. Today's leading ERP systems group all traditional company management functions (finance, sales, manufacturing, and human resources). Many systems include, with varying degrees of acceptance and skill, solutions that were formerly considered peripheral such as product data management (PDM), warehouse management, manufacturing execution system (MES), and reporting. During the last few years the functional perimeter of ERP systems began an expansion into its adjacent markets, such as supply chain management (SCM), customer relationship management (CRM), business intelligence/data warehousing, and e-business, the focus of this knowledge base is mainly on the traditional ERP realms of finance, materials planning, and human resources. The foundation of any ERP implementation must be a proper exercise of aligning customers'' IT technology with their business strategies, and subsequent software selection.

From Jesse Reed and Hamish Smyth, the same duo from design firm Pentagram that reissued the 1970 NYC Subway Graphics Standard Manual and the poster of all 468 subway stations in New York City, now comes a new Kickstarter campaign to reissue the 1975 NASA Graphics Standard Manual. This controversial manual, by Richard Danne and Bruce Blackburn of the New York firm Danne & Blackburn, was approved in 1974 to much fanfare, but as Reed and Smyth write, "over the next 18 years, some people at NASA will attempt to revoke their work. And they will succeed in 1992." The team aims to highlight this moment in design history–one of the excellent examples of Modernist graphic design during a forward-thinking era.
WNYC's Data News Team has mapped out New York City's open space accessibility, both in terms of distance to a park and the amount of space, per thousands of residents. Currently, the New York City Parks Department reports that 79% of New Yorkers have access to a small and large park in under ten minutes, but they aim to increase that to 85% by 2030. And as WNYC reports, while the city is doing pretty well in terms of park access, it's not #1 in the country: "We currently rank fifth out of the 75 most populous cities in the US, according to the Trust for Public Land."
There may be no other subway station more contentious among subway buffs than the 76th Street subway station in Queens, an IND station on the A line near Ozone Park, Queens that the The New York Times calls the "Roswell" of the New York City subway system. Its existence is hotly debated but urban explorer Dark Cyanide says us he's gotten closer than most and shared the photos of his exploration.
In 2009, we remember late professor Mojdeh Baratloo sharing about her work mapping solar potential of rooftops in New York City. The work was conceptual then and open-source data was in the early stages. But last week, Mapdwell, a collective of academics and researchers from M.I.T., launched the site Solar System, which maps solar rooftop potential in eight American cities, including New York, Boston, Washington D.C. and San Francisco, as well as two cities in Chile. The interactive map allows you to select specific buildings and will calculate the cost of installing a solar system (including tax credits), the number of years it will take to pay back the investment, the revenue per year, and the carbon offset.
If you didn't know there was a Food Hall inside Industry City, the sprawling warehouse turned creative and small manufacturing space in Sunset Park, this is your chance to go and check out the latest iteration of Vertical Urban Factory. The exhibition, curated by Nina Rappaport, first launched at The Skyscarper Museum in 2011. Since then it has traveled around the world, to the Architecture Museum in London's Kings Cross, the Museum of Contemporary Art in Detroit, Toronto, Switzerland, and back to New York City. Until August 1st, it was at the Falchi Building in Long Island City after which it moved to Industry City. In that time, the exhibit has expanded to address both local conditions in the places it traveled to, as well as include new developments in manufacturing in the last four years.
Call for Submission, 1983. Image Courtesy of Storefront for Art and Architecture.
In 1983, as the centennial of the Statue of Liberty dedication approached in 1986, the Storefront for Art and Architecture launched an open call competition to reimagine the New York City landmark for the contemporary era. This type of provocative competition is part of the DNA of Storefront, founded in 1982 to present innovative work at the intersection of art and architecture. More than 30 years later, with a distinctive location at 97 Kenmare Street in Nolita, and the opening of an archive at Industry City tomorrow, Storefront continues to present cutting-edge exhibitions and serve as a resource to architects, academics, and journalists alike.

Group: Justice Stevens a "Champion of the Constitution in the Face of the Court's Increasingly Conservative Jurisprudential Trend"
President Obama is vowing a speedy appointment to replace the retiring Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens. Stevens has long been regarded as the leader of the "liberal" wing of the Supreme Court. The Alliance for Justice said in a statement, "He has emerged in the past decade as one of the Court's most vocal and eloquent spokespersons for individual liberties, separation of powers, and equal access to justice." We speak with the president of the Alliance for Justice, Nan Aron. [includes rush transcript]

Speculation has centered on three top contenders: Solicitor General Elena Kagan, US Appeals Court Judge Merrick Garland and US Appeals Court Judge Diane Wood. But the White House says about ten candidates remain under serious consideration. Salon.com blogger Glenn Greenwald joins us to talk about some of the contenders, in particular Elena Kagan.

She was awarded the 1983 Pulitzer for her novel The Color Purple. She was written many books since then.

Sailors, Pirates, and Motley Crews in the Age of SailThis maritime history "from below" exposes the history-making power of common sailors, slaves, pirates, and other outlaws at sea in the era of the tall ship. In Outlaws of the Atlantic, award-winning historian Marcus Rediker turns maritime history upside down. He explores the dramatic world of maritime adventure, not from the perspective of admirals, merchants, and nation-states but from the
An Atlantic Odyssey of Slavery and FreedomOn June 28, 1839, the Spanish slave schooner Amistad set sail from Havana on a routine delivery of human cargo. On a moonless night, after four days at sea, the captive Africans rose up, killed the captain, and seized control of the ship. They attempted to sail to a safe port, but were captured by the U.S. Navy and thrown into jail in Connecticut. Their legal battle for freedom eventually made its
Atlantic Pirates in the Golden AgeVillains of All Nations explores the 'Golden Age' of Atlantic piracy (1716-1726) and the infamous generation whose images underlie our modern, romanticized view of pirates.Rediker introduces us to the dreaded black flag, the Jolly Roger; swashbuckling figures such as Edward Teach, better known as Blackbeard; and the unnamed, unlimbed pirate who was likely Robert Louis Stevenson's model for Long
Sailors, Slaves, Commoners, and the Hidden History of the Revolutionary AtlanticWinner of the International Labor History AwardLong before the American Revolution and the Declaration of the Rights of Man, a motley crew of sailors, slaves, pirates, laborers, market women, and indentured servants had ideas about freedom and equality that would forever change history. The Many Headed-Hydra recounts their stories in a sweeping history of the role of the dispossessed in the making

The True Story of Black Bart, "King of the Caribbean Pirates"In a page-turning tale brimming with adventure, author Richard Sanders tells of the remarkable exploits of Bartholomew Roberts (better known as Black Bart), the greatest of the Caribbean pirates.

And during the course of his
