TUCSON, Ariz. - Freshman Andre Iguodala scored a career-high 18 points to lead five Arizona players in double figures as the No. 1-ranked Wildcats routed UCLA 106-70 on Thursday night.
The Wildcats (19-2, 11-1 Pac-10) buried the Bruins with a 21-0 run over a five-minute span late in the first half and early in the second.
Jason Gardner and Salim Stoudamire scored 14 points apiece for Arizona. Rick Anderson and Hassan Adams added 12 each.
Andre Patterson scored 12 points and Jason Kapono 11 for UCLA.
The Bruins (5-15, 2-9), who snapped a nine-game losing streak with a 71-70 victory over Georgetown last Saturday, lost their ninth consecutive Pac-10 game. It was their second blowout loss to Arizona this season. The Wildcats won 87-52 at UCLA on Jan. 18.
Arizona outscored the Bruins 61-36 in the second half. Had the Wildcats' three seniors not sat out the final 10 minutes, the Bruins might have threatened their worst loss ever, a 109-61 loss at Stanford in 1996-97 - Steve Lavin's first season as UCLA coach.
Arizona scored the last five points the first half and the first 16 of the second to open a 61-34 lead with 16:16 to play on Stoudamire's 9-footer after Channing Frye's blocked shot.
The lead grew to 82-44 on Hassan Adams' dunk on a lob pass from Chris Rodgers with 9:41 remaining. By then, the Wildcats were going with a lineup of three freshmen and two sophomores.
UCLA was 0-for-3 with four turnovers, and Arizona 6-for-7 with no turnovers in the Wildcats' big run in the first 3:44 of the second half.
After another sluggish start, the Wildcats outscored the Bruins 15-6 over the final 3:33 of the first half to take a 45-34 lead at the break on Frye's rebound basket at the buzzer.
Gardner sank two 3-pointers and Iguodala one during the run.
The Bruins committed 19 turnovers, 15 in the second half.
UCLA scored 10 consecutive points to take a 10-5 lead. Arizona went ahead for good when Rodgers was fouled on a 3-pointer and sank all three from the line to give the Wildcats a 17-14 lead with 12:43 left in the half.
When Cedric Bozeman made one of two free throws with 3:48 to play until halftime, the Bruins trailed just 30-28. Gardner's 3-pointer from far beyond the line triggered Arizona's late first-half run.
Iguodala had nine points and four rebounds in the first half, while Rick Anderson had eight points and six boards.
UCLA shot 47 percent in the first half to Arizona's 40.5 percent, but the Bruins were outrebounded 28-15 - including 13-3 on the offensive boards - in the first 20 minutes. The Wildcats shot 58 percent (21-for-36) in the second half.

The Newtown "Sandy Hook donations missing" news report is raising the question of what happened to $70,000 and what happened to one of the co-founders involved in raising the charity money. "A charity created in the wake of the shooting massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., cannot locate more than $70,000 it raised," reports the Associated Press on Jan. 11, 2014.
Just one week after the tragic shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown on Dec. 14, 2012, the Nashville charity 26.4.26 began raising money through marathons to help Sandy Hook. The charity, which began on Dec. 22, 2012, raised a total of $103,000.
Last January, a nonprofit youth sports center in Newtown received $30,000, but no one knows what happened to the more than $70,000 missing Sandy Hook donations.
One of the co-founders of the 26.4.26 Foundation, Ryan Graney, said that she filed complaints with the FBI and Tennessee attorney general's office in September after she had discovered suspicious charges to the foundation's PayPal account.
Her partner, co-founder Robbie Bruce, who was in charge of the charity's finances, had presented the $30,000 to the nonprofit youth sports center in Newtown in January but no one has been in contact with him for almost a year, "and his whereabouts are unknown," reported Sky News.
After the news of the missing Newtown Sandy Hook donations broke, the charity foundation stopped its fundraising efforts. However, so far there have been no signs of either the $70,000 or of Robbie Bruce.

Women's Basketball Duo Garners A-10 Accolades
March 4, 2009
AMHERST, Mass. - A pair of UMass women's basketball players were recognized by the Atlantic 10 with postseason accolades as freshman forward Kristina Danella was named to the A-10 All-Rookie Team and senior Stefanie Gerardot earned a spot on the A-10 All-Academic Team, the conference office announced on Wednesday.
Danella is the 14th member of the Minutewomen to receive an All-Rookie nod, the first since 2004-05 when Kate Mills and Pam Rosanio garnered All-Rookie plaudits. For Gerardot, she is the third Atlantic 10 All-Academic team selection all-time, joining Melissa Gurile (1995-96) and Kathy Coyner (2000-01).
Danella enjoyed a remarkable debut season in conference play as she finished as the top rookie scorer in Atlantic 10 games, 10th overall, with 13.3 points per-game, while also ranking first in three-point field goals per game (2.93) and fifth in three-point field goal percentage (.427). Overall, she is averaging 9.4 points per-game, 4.7 rebounds per-game and is first in conference in overall three-point field goal percentage (.421).
Danella collected four A-10 Rookie of the Week awards in 2008-09, matching the most weekly honors by a first year UMass player in program history. The freshman posted four 20-point games during the regular season, including two 25-point games for a career high, and reached double figures 11 times. She logged two double-doubles, as well, and was the team's leading scorer eight times in 29 contests.
The forward has already etched her way into the Minutewomen's record book as she matched the school record for three-pointers in a game with seven against Northeastern on Dec. 20, half of her team's total as the squad set a team record with 14 treys in the contest. With 56 threes on the year, Danella is two away from equaling Katie Nelson's record for made threes in a season and already ranks in the top-15 all-time for career threes.
Gerardot, a double-major in Accounting and Sociology, holds a 3.508 grade-point average and is a Dean's List student who will go on to work for the KPMG accounting firm in Boston following graduation this spring. The guard has enjoyed her finest season in a UMass uniform this year as a senior, as she finished the regular season as the team's leading scorer, third in the Atlantic 10, with an average of 15.0 points per-game. Gerardot has reached double figures in scoring 24 of 29 games so far in 2008-09, surpassing the 20-point mark six times, including a career-best 29 points at Vermont on Nov. 14. Her 434 points and 117 rebounds on the year are career highs, as well.
UMass will begin play in the Atlantic 10 tournament this Friday, Mar. 6, as the 11th-seeded Minutewomen will take on No. 6 seed Duquesne at 8 p.m. in Charlotte's Halton Arena.

LG aims for #2 spot by 2012, plans new "Black label" iPhone competitor, Prada III phone and extreme premium brand
LG has made some pretty impressive strides in a cellphone market during these last few years. With the demise of Motorola and the problems ailing Sony Ericsson last year, they've even managed to become #3 cellphone maker in the world.
And LG does not plan to stop here. In an interview to Yonhap News Agency, Ahn Seung-kwon, president for LG's mobile business, said that they plan to become #2 cellphone maker in the world by 2012. Which means that they plan to overtake Samsung in the next 3 years.
There were also some other interesting tidbits that Mr. Ahn let drop during the interview. Among them are:
- in Q4 LG will launch a new "Black label" series phone, which will be positioned to compete with the iPhone
- LG is pretty happy with their luxury "Prada" phone line and is working on another Prada handset
- LG also has a plan to move even deeper into a luxury cellphone market, by creating it's own extreme premium brand, "similar to Toyota's Lexus and Nokia's Vertu"
Well, sounds pretty ambitious and interesting to me.
Will LG succeed to get to a #2 spot in worldwide cellphone vendor rankings? Unless Samsung or Nokia screws up in some major way, I strongly doubt that.
On the other hand, #3 spot is LG's to keep now. They seem to have a pretty strong product line-up, smart business strategy and keep executing on it very well. While LG's closest competitors – Motorola and Sony Ericsson keep sliding into irrelevance. So I expect the gap between them to widen further.

TC TO JANE WELSH CARLYLE ; 15 August 1842; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18420815-TC-JWC-01; CL 15: 18-19
Chelsea, Monday [15 August 1842]
Not a word from me today, but thanks, thanks! and keep thyself still, and enjoy the blessed green and sunshine!— I am busy as a bee; it is past three o'clock, and the day is burning hot. Alas to my "business"—alas, alas, it is yet nothing of worth. We must still have patience.
Charles Buller is never yet visible; last night I found he had gone out of town till Tuesday. Tonight I will write to him; try him that way.
Manchester and all the North Cotton Country seems to be in ferment: new soldiers and new artillery went off by railway yesterday. Happily none yet is killed,—except I think a poor girl by a brickbat from some mill, and two policemen by the mob.1 Would to Heaven it were done in some good way! I see there was one meeting near Geraldine's house,2—poor Geraldine!
The two Heaths, Douglas and the Cambridge one,3 came here yesterday; Mazzini too,—and Poor Law Twistleton,4 happily without getting in, while we were at dinner.——— I never went out till after tea; but then long, and am better than usual today.
On Saturday I had an enormous mad Manuscript from a poor Edinr lad,5 gone literally to Bedlam, I think, with "having a mind like Coleridge" &c It is very sad for me; and I can answer nothing, tho' full of real pity. Garnier's letter came that same evening. Also a new "University Magazine" No 2,6—so unspeakably stupid that I could not give it house room but instantly sent it over to the Cooper!7
This modest Yankee's Letter8 came today, and cost me 8d,—poor Yankee! There were three for Alcot too; all of which I sent away.
Jeannie, I hear, is going off; she is the Messenger at present. Adieu, dear little Wife. Thank Heaven thou hast got to sleep! Be good there, and come well back to us. I wish to Heaven I were Curate at Troston—on right terms!
Ever your affectionate /

Chalese Fankhauser went 3-for-3 with an RBI on Thursday against No. 17/21 Arizona.
March 28, 2013
Arizona Series Game 1 Photo Gallery by Trev Mozingo (email@example.com)
SALT LAKE CITY - Junior center fielder Chalese Fankhauser went 3-for-3 with an RBI to lead the University of Utah softball team, but the Utes could not avoid a 6-4 loss to No. 17/21 Arizona in its Pac-12 Conference home opener on Thursday at Utah Softball Stadium.
Utah (13-15-1, 0-4 Pac-12) totaled 11 hits for its four runs, including Fankhauser's flawless 3-for-3 night at the plate from the leadoff spot. Fankhauser, a South Jordan, Utah native, has 24 hits this season for six RBI. She is now third on the team with six multi-hit efforts this season.
Senior shortstop Kelsi Hoopiiaina had two hits in three at-bats with and RBI and two runs scored, while Marissa Mendenhall was the third Ute to manage multiple hits after putting together a 2-for-3 effort. Hooppiaina has had two or more hits in 10 of Utah's games this season, while Mendenhall follows with seven multi-hit performances this season.
Sophomore left fielder Kate Dickman extended her team-high hit streak to seven games with an RBI single.
Junior Naomi Amu made the start and yielded four earned runs on 10 hits without issuing a walk. Unfortunately, the Oceanside, Calif., native saw her record dip to 7-6 this season.
Freshman Kayce Nieto made a relief appearance and allowed one earned run on three hits with one strikeout in 2.1 innings on the mound.
The Wildcats put up four runs in the top of the first, but the Utes then scored one run in each of its first three at-bats.
Utah came back with Fankhauser's third triple of the season to left-center field (and the fifth of her career). She then scored off an illegal pitch to put the Utes on the board and cut their deficit to three runs, 4-1.
Freshman catcher Shelby Pacheco started off the second with a double to left-center field before advancing to third base off a single by junior third baseman Taylor Austin. Fankhauser then launched a sacrifice fly to left field that allowed Pacheco to score for her fifth RBI of the year.
To start the third, Hoopiiaina doubled down the right-field line and was knocked in off an RBI single by Dickman, who now has 10 RBI this season
Arizona was able to push one run across in the top of the fourth, before Mendenhall cracked a one-out single up the middle of the Wildcat defense to start the home half of the frame. Fankhauser followed with a two-out single up the middle before a base hit through the left side by senior second baseman Jackie Sweet loaded the bases. Unfortunately, the Utes came away empty-handed after the Wildcats were able to get a groundout.
The Wildcats scored once more in the top half of the seventh to make it a 6-3 game. But in the home half of the frame, Hoopiiaina crushed her fifth home run of the season over the left-field fence to make it a 6-4 contest. The Riverton, Utah now has 19 runs driven in this year and 95 for her career to go along with 22 career round-trippers.
No. 17/21 Arizona (22-10, 2-2 Pac-12) was led by a 3-for-4, two-RBI performance by left fielder Mandie Perez, while Shelby Babcock improved to 11-3 this season after pitching 4.0 innings of relief and allowing one earned run on three hits.
The middle game of the three-game set between the Utes and Wildcats will be played tomorrow at 6 p.m. MT at Utah Softball Stadium. Gavin McCallister will have the play-by-play call of the action and live stats will be available at utahutes.com as well.
Saturday's finale has been rescheduled for a 12 p.m. MT start time.

MURFREESBORO, Tenn. -- The Southern Illinois men's tennis team dropped its final two matches in the Sun Belt Shootout consolation bracket on Sunday to Florida Atlantic and Austin Peay, falling 4-0 in both contests.
Match One: Florida Atlantic, 4 Southern Illinois, 0
The Salukis (5-9) fought into two third sets and two tiebreaks, but were unable to outlast Florida Atlantic (12-8) in the long run.
Fighting the longest was junior Orhan Spahic, who fell to FAU's Garrett Betsarakis, 2-6, 6-4, 0-6. This was the fourth third set Spahic has played into this dual match season.
Victory looked possible at the second and third singles positions. Senior Stanislas Rodier was heading into a third set, 1-6, 7-6, before the match went final. Junior Brandon Florez was also about to force a third set as well, ending his match with FAU's Robert Dubuque, 6-7, 6-5.
1. Albrecht, Taylor (FAU) def. Badr Cherradi (SIU) 6-1, 6-1
2. Neuner, Will (FAU) vs. Stanislas Rodier (SIU) 1-6, 7-6, unfinished
3. Dubuque, Robert (FAU) vs. Brandon Florez (SIU) 7-6, 5-6, unfinished
4. Betsarakis, Garrett (FAU) def. Orhan Spahic (SIU) 6-2, 4-6, 6-0
5. Bogomolov, Boris (FAU) def. Rafael Cuadrillero (SIU) 6-2, 6-3
6. Bacha, Sean (FAU) def. Martijn Admiraal (SIU) 6-1, 6-3

In a rematch of a hotly contested 4-3 loss to the Governors on Feb. 17, Austin Peay (8-6) once again got the better of Southern (5-10), this time topping the Salukis, 4-0.
Southern fought hard the whole way yet again, scraping into two third sets and three tiebreaks, but were again unable to get over the hump.
Junior Badr Cherradi was two games within victory at the top spot over APSU's Sean Bailey, leading 2-6, 6-4, 4-0 before the match was final. A Saluki victory also looked promising at No. 5, where sophomore Rafael Cuadrillero led John Storie 6-7, (4), 6-3, 1-0 at the time APSU scored the final match point.
"It was a good opportunity for us to get three high quality opponents," said head coach Dann Nelson. "This tournament will hopefully help us prepare for the conference season."

Introduced by Alessandro Carrera, director of Italian Studies at the University of Houston
The Pier Paolo Pasolini retrospective opens with one of Pasolini's most acclaimed early films, a religious tale that finds the spiritual and the epic in the everyday, chronicling the life of Christ in a style influenced by neorealism. Casting nonprofessional actors and opting not to use a script or special effects, Pasolini's retelling is measured and soulful, enhanced by a rich musical score ranging from Bach and Mozart to spirituals and Russian revolutionary songs. This film won the Grand Prize of the International Catholic Film Office as well as two awards at the Venice Film Festival, and was one among the films recommended by the Vatican in 1996 in honor of the centennial of cinema.
"Pasolini's is one of the most effective films on a religious theme I have ever seen, perhaps because it was made by a nonbeliever who did not preach, glorify, underline, sentimentalize or romanticize his famous story, but tried his best to simply record it." —Roger Ebert

Florence Hotel La Gioconda News & Press
"The Gioconda" taken from the "Corriere Fiorentino" newspaper on Sunday March 23rd, 2008
Even the King of England wished to see it.
It's a strange feeling to find yourself in a little room, that overlooks a courtyard just as small, where, on the 11th of December, 1913, the most famous work of art of all times was retrieved.
The feeling is even stronger because here with us, on this rainy Spring afternoon, together with the young owner of the hotel "La Gioconda", is Engineer Silvio Peruggia, grandson of the man who for over two years possessed, as if a well hidden young loved one, or rather, like a strange plaything or hostage, nothing less than the same Mona Lisa that, just behind us only a short walk away, lived its earthly adventure in Via della Stufa, as told by recent discoveries made by historian and friend Giuseppe Pallanti.
Silvio extraordinarily resembles his grandfather, an ironic smile under his mustache, wittingly reacting by easily taking the copy of the celebrated portrait from the nail for it to be photographed in the famous room n. 20, where a plaque still reminds us that it was right here, in a box hidden under the bed among old clothes and worn out shoes, wrapped in a cloth and well tied, was the Gioconda.
Many are the engaged couples, tells me Tanja Li Pira, owner of the hotel, who ask to sleep in this room. As a matter of fact, a young woman expected it for the first night of her honeymoon. Fetishism? Maybe ill-concealed sentimentalism.
And then the flocks of Japanese, photographs, school field trips, all wanting to know something more.
And that "something" more is told to me my Silvio Peruggia himself, starting with the incredible and freshly told episode of the American Ambassador in Paris.
But let's proceed in order.
"When my grandfather Vincenzo died- says Silvio- still young and in France where he returned, changing his name to Pietro Peruggia, so as not to be recognized, my mother was still a child. My grandmother then married my grandfather's brother and they relocated to the high Alps. No one ever told my mother the story about her father. Then, after coming back to her native land, Dumenza in Luino, at the beginning of World War II, my mother incredibly found that those in the town called her "Giocondina". Asking for an explanation, she was told, with a certain reserve, all that had happened thirty years earlier". And again, after many years, a very old work associate of Peruggia's in Paris decided to talk.
Here is the story.
There were many English gentlemen, odd for that time, that wanted to meet Vincenzo, around 1912, in the French capital. Even though in reality nothing was known for certain, a story was spread among the art restorers present at the Louvre that fateful 21st of August in 1911, day of the theft, that someone could have talkedand someone probably did.
A voice was spread among the English, who, as we know, are very clever in resolving these kinds of cases, that Vincenzo Peruggia was the one who knew the most.
Assembled in great secrecy at the English Embassy in Paris, he was made a proposal, that to him and to us still today, if it weren't for his grandson here to tell us, was unbelievable.
In a few words, the incredulous painter from Dumenza, immigrated to France, was asked frankly to bring "that which he had to show" to Buckingham Palace. King George V and the Queen Mary, graciously deigned to receive, in a very private, or rather, secretive manner, the Ambassador together with this small, embarrassing and almost terrified Italian, who, from the famous box from which he never separated, would have extracted what was in it, demonstrating to the royalty, also unbelieving, but curious and at the end with mysteriously dazzling eyes where, in that salon in the Royal Palace, Peruggia exposed his "treasure". The king and Queen would have then had, how do you say, a private viewing, and very secretive, that which the rest of the world would have found only a year later. Absurd? Incredible? Sentimental or romanticized? Perhaps.
But an old painter friend of Peruggia was witness at the time; a fact that Vincenzo himself had never told, not even to his family or wife, keeping it instead to himself which gave him a halo of veracity, making him believable.
Imagine the scene: the young artisan in the austere salons of the palace in front of the even more austere English sovereigns, who at the time were not glowing with trust, and then the even stiffer Ambassador, and finally, the white box of soiled clothes never removed, not even on this occasion. And the Gioconda.
More than the "Codice da Vinci", fiction by Dan Brown. These are memories of an old painter told to the grandson of a friend.
Then, the story that everyone knows.
Peruggia, who signed his name as Leonard, writes to the antique dealer Geri in Florence.
He wants to take home, back to the art capital, what was created, married, retracted, lived, and died there.
In 1913, with what was called fervor patriotism, and what might have been only a pretense to play down the theft, he wanted to reassure Italy what he had thought, that it was Napoleon who had taken it away.
He didn't know that the grand Corsican, who in reality found the portrait as a legacy in the old royal palace in France, had loved and wanted it in his own bedroom, as did King Sole and many other French sovereigns before him. Finally, the finding, but this, as said, is a story that we all know.
The white box in room n. 20 in the Hotel Tripoli Italy. "Tripoli bel sol d'amore" (Tripoli, beautiful sun of love) was sung that day in the streets of Florence, and on the third floor, the little painter was separated forever from the image of the Florentine woman that he, more than anyone else, even more than Napoleon, than the King of France, than Francesco I, who had had it first, more than Francesco del Giocondo who would have liked to have had it, more than Leonardo himself, he, Leonard, nave petty theft of the twentieth century, more than absolutely anyone else, had had it near.
I don't want to reassess Vincenzo Peruggia, if not only for the great friendliness of his grandson Silvio, who doesn't justify him either.
I'll limit myself to two conclusive considerations. He wasn't a real thief, he acted ingenuously, not like a professional thief, maybe a bit thoughtless and even though he could have bragged about the episode later, with memoirs and interviews, he never did.
And finally, he could have used his hostage for ransom as one would do today. After all, finding himself with the unsellable and, excuse the term, "hot potato", couldn't he have destroyed it? With consequences in the art world, and the world itself that we can only imagine.
Maybe affected by a reversed Stockholm syndrome, this uncultured and perhaps somewhat romantic young man from Dumenza, fell in love with his hostage.
It is nice to think that to save his prisoner he had almost put himself in a position of sacrificing himself. It is however nice to think it, on the eve of Easter in room n.20 of the hotel that takes its name from the illustrious prisoner.
Still one thing is sure; if at first the Gioconda was the most famous painting in the world, after the theft it became an absolute global icon.
As always, it only took a chronicle to elevate the masterpiece of art to an object of curiosity, morbid attention, cult. From that time, the Mona Lisa, work of art, was elevated to idol.
The young painter, after all, had served it well. Here, in Via Panzani, its story ended. From that time a legend began.
Domenico Savini - from the Hotel La Gioconda in Florence.

LITTLE Peyton Fryer will always be able to tell the unusual story of where she was born.
Mum Tracey, 26, of Clover Walk, Bolton-on-Dearne, was on the toilet at home when Peyton decided she wanted to enter the world.
Diabetic Tracey was expecting doctors to have to induce the birth so once Peyton emerged she admits that she was frozen with shock.
Fortunately her husband Karl, 25, heard the commotion and dashed to rescue the baby from the pan.
Tracey said: "I was 38 weeks' pregnant and in no pain. I went to the toilet, pushed and the baby came.
"I was in total shock but was lucky that Karl was there to get the baby out."
Grandmother Margaret Swift added: "Karl will always be a hero in my eyes and I can't thank him enough for his quick thinking."
Now two weeks old, Peyton is healthy and is at home with her parents and 14-month-old sister Madina.

The Terre Haute League of Women Voters plans to hold an Equality March on Tuesday, August 26. The march celebrates the passage of the 19th Amendment in 1920 and Women's Equality Day. The historical amendment gave women the right to vote.
Organizers ask participants to meet at ISU University Hall at 5:30. The route ends at fountain in fronts of Dede Hall. Although it is not required, participants are asked to walk the route dressed in early twentieth century clothing. A tram will be availble for people who cannot walk.
Over 200 hundred people participated in last year's event. Many of them carried signs and banners. March participants are free to do the same this year, but it is not required.
Historical reenactors will be at the end of the route. Anyone who listens to ten of their stories receives a free t-shirt. Refreshments will be available inside of Dede Hall.
Supporters of this years march include the Vigo County Taxpayers Association, Thompson Thrift, Cliff Lambert of the Terre Haute Redevelopment Commission and several other area busineses. Organizers encourage men and women to attend the event.
Kimberly Norris of the Vigo County Taxpayer's Association conducted a GoFundMe campaign. She hoped to collect funds to purchase hygiene items and t-shirts for women's shelters throughout the Wabash Valley. The campaign remains short of its goal. It continues, and anyone who wishes to donate or to find out more can click here.

Conveyor technology: Are you thinking differently?
And, just as they are using a variety of conveying technologies, they are handling a diverse set of unit load types and sizes. The percentage of respondents handling individual items, poly-bagged items and plastic totes may be a reflection of the growing volume of direct-to-consumer orders:
- 55% are handling cases/boxes
- 42% are handling individual items
- 30% are handling plastic totes
- 27% are handling pallets
- 17% are handling poly-bagged items
- 14% are handling mixed SKU pallets
- 10% are handling beverage cartons
What's more, 82% of respondents say their conveyor equipment is moving various load configurations. The changing nature of distribution and order fulfillment is reflected in the types of orders being shipped. Only 19% of respondents are shipping full pallets and only 2% are shipping full cartons. Meanwhile, nearly 24% are shipping mixed pallets, 16% are shipping mixed cartons, and 22% are shipping item level orders directly to customers.
Most facilities are operating conventional order fulfillment solutions:
- 57% pick, pack and ship orders as they are received in the facility
- 30% handle items more than once during the order fulfillment process, such as picking to a tote that is conveyed to a packing area
- 23% are picking directly to a shipping container
- 18% let orders accumulate before they ship

Equipment 101: Data capture basics
Voice technology is often applied to labor-intensive activities, like piece picking, putaway, replenishment and cycle counting.
Radio frequency (RF) technology has been around for decades. During World War II, it was used to identify friendly aircraft; in current times this technology is used for such things as animal tracking, toll collection and keyless entry. It also has many industrial uses, including several in materials handling.
Radio frequency identification, or RFID, is a form of automatic identification used to carry data about an object and transfer it to a computer, reducing the time and labor needed for manual data entry.
A basic RFID system includes an RFID tag, a reader and a host computer. When a reader energizes a tag, the data stored on in the tag's memory is transmitted to the reader using radio waves. The reader then communicates the necessary data to the host computer so the computer's software can act on the data.
RFID tags
Most RFID tags have at least two parts:
a silicon chip for storing information, and
- an antenna for receiving and transmitting a signal.
Tags can come in a variety of sizes and shapes, depending on the application. Those used in shipping labels combine a tiny square chip (smaller than the head of a pin) with a 3- to 4-inch-wide antenna. Two of the most common antenna shapes for shipping labels are squiggle and double cross designs.
RFID tags can have high or low memory capacity. High-memory tags can cost tens of dollars, while low-memory tags can cost tens of cents.
RFID tags can be active, passive or semi-passive.
Active tags include a battery and use its power to transmit the signal. The battery gives an active tag an especially long read range, about 100 meters, according to Alan Sherman, director of marketing for OATSystems. It also increases the price of the tag, so active tags are used to track very high-value assets or in closed-loop applications where the same tag might be used hundreds of times.
Passive tags have no batteries and instead use energy from an RFID reader to power their transmissions. Passive tags are less expensive, but have a limited read range, about 30 feet using fixed readers, says Sherman.
- Semi-passive tags, also called battery-assisted tags, use batteries to boost the response of a passive tag. These tags have about a 100-foot read range.
RFID readers
As with bar codes, RFID readers are available in a number of form factors. Fixed readers can be mounted at portals, like dock doors, or integrated as part of a conveyor system. Handheld devices can be carried or worn by an operator, and vehicle-mounted readers can be mounted on a lift truck. Some RFID reading devices can be mounted on a vehicle then lifted off and carried by an operator.
RFID offers some advantages over bar codes.
No human intervention is needed to read an RFID tag, which broadcasts the information on the tag to an RFID reader. RFID readers can be mounted throughout a facility, including the ceiling. This "eye-in-the-sky" position provides visibility of movement at a basic level and can track and note the location of an item at any moment in time, explains Sherman.
RFID can work in hostile or hazardous environments, like a paint line in a manufacturing facility. Paint over the RFID tag and it will still broadcast its signal; paint over a bar code and it's unreadable.
- RFID tags can carry a lot more information than bar codes.
Over the years, RFID technology has improved. As far as tags are concerned, Motorola's Warner says, "The market has seen a lower cost per tag with an increased read range."
On the antenna front, there's also good news. "Modern antennas are more 'tunable' to help integrators create the appropriate capture window and help eliminate spurious reads," says Bert Moore, director of communications for AIM Global, a trade association representing makers of automatic identification equipment.
Since there are many different types of RFID systems all with different capabilities, ranges and data capacities, Moore recommends seeking professional guidance from a knowledgeable integrator who is familiar with industry standards and is able to set up a system that works in your environment and with your products and business processes.
Voice technology is a hands-free, eyes-free technology that operates in conjunction with an operator. Voice applications are most often found in labor-intensive activities in warehouses, like piece picking, putaway, replenishment and cycle counting.
Voice technology turns computer commands into spoken instructions. Commands from the system and an operator's feedback create two-way dialogue that navigates through the task at hand, explains John Schriefer, marketing communication manager for Lucas Systems.
The mobile computer communicates wirelessly with a management system of records, like a warehouse management system (WMS), manufacturing execution system (MES), or an enterprise resource planning (ERP) system. The operator wears a headset with a microphone to talk back to the mobile computer.
According to Schriefer, there are a number of styles of headsets that are rugged, lightweight and comfortable for an operator to wear, but one of the most important features is the industrial noise-canceling feature on the microphone. "There is nothing worse for a voice system than bad recognition. This feature filters out background noise so the system can clearly understand when the operator is speaking and what's being said," he says.
Today's voice systems are smart. In addition to distinguishing between feedback and background noise, some systems are diverse enough to understand three dozen languages and specific enough to actually recognize each worker's unique voice patterns, accents and speech idiosyncrasies.
Another way for voice technology to work is a software solution that works over a dial tone. While this strategy is successful in the mobile field service environment, it can also work inside the four walls, explains Brad Wyland, vice president of strategic marketing for Datria Systems. "Workers can pick up a desk phone, cell phone, smart phone or any industrial handheld device and connect to the system with a phone call," he says.
Regardless of the delivery method, voice communication between the worker and the system can result in a number of improvement gains, including increased picking accuracy and efficiency, reduced picking and replenishment labor, reduced employee training time, and enhanced safety.

Summer is here and the increased temperatures raise the need for health precautions for both humans and their four-legged pals. For dogs, summer increases the risk for flick and flea infestations as well as hydration and grooming issues. I consulted with Julia Szabo, a pet reporter and animal health advocate regarding how to keep our furry buddy's happy and healthy this summer.
Flea and tick infestations can incur misery on your pet. In addition, the nasty critters can leap off of Fido and infest you. Julie informed me about an FDA-approved chewable medication that provides 12 weeks of protection from fleas and ticks: Bravecto. The product is only available through a veterinarian. Ask your vet whether the product is right for you pet.
Warm weather prevails through much of the nation during the summer; thus, attention must be paid to hydration. Julia recommends stainless steel bowls. Plastic bowls frequently transmit and odor to the water, which is detectable by the dogs far superior sense of smell. The result may be that your pet will shun the water. In addition, some heated plastics can release toxins into the water. Ceramic bowls are subject to cracking; thus, they can harbor harmful bacteria.
If you own a long haired dog and don't want to listen to him or her panting in misery like a steam engine, Julia does not recommend a short trim. Instead of overheating, Rover might incur a nasty sunburn. A better alternative is to thin the coat with a shedding tool. Nettles can mat up your mutt's coat. To remove them, gently pull the hair away from the nettle, rather than yanking on the nettle.
Julia has authored six books, and has provided expert commentary on dog lifestyles for a wide range of print and broadcast media, including Fox News, Newsweek, The New York Times, Town & Country, The New York Post, Traditional Home, Dog Fancy, Country Living, FIDOFriendly, Amazing Wellness, Dogster, and HowCast. Her latest book, Medicine Dog: The Miraculous Cure That Healed My Best Friend and Saved My Life, chronicles the restoration of her health after her dog Sam collapsed from osteoarthritis. Diligently researching how to restore his quality of life, she discovered Vet-Stem, a service that provides cutting-edge regeneration therapy for pets, using stem cells harvested from animals' own tissue. Just hours after receiving IV and intra-joint injections, Sam began aging backward, which left Julia wondering why this simple, effective treatment was not available for humans.
Julia suffered from chronic inflammatory bowel disease, and after witnessing Sam's astonishing recovery, she set out on a curious quest: to be treated like a dog by a doctor as competent as her vet! After a four-year wait, Julia became the first American to be successfully cured of a perirectal fistula with stem cells derived from her own fat. With this amazing true story of how a pack of shelter dogs she rescued from death row came to save her life, Julia hopes to inspire and inform readers about exciting healthcare options available to them and their cherished animal companions.
Julia lives in New York City with her family of rescued dogs. More pet health information is available on her Web site. Information regarding Bravecto is available at this link.

Flaminio which addresses the problem of quantitative ergodicity in one case where no 'natural' renormalization dynamics seem to exist. We argue that 'renormaization' , that is a full-fledged hyperbolic dynamical system exhibiting non-trivial recurrence, can be replaced by a rescaling with trivial, non-recurrent dynamics as long as one is able to control the escape rate of points in a 'deformation' space. We conclude by surveying related results, open questions and directions for future research.

If you really want heartburn, go to overlawyered.com. The entire judicial system is pretty corrupt. Here and there you find an honest judge. But at the federal level they are all a bunch of losers. They are there to protect the government and those who control the government. Even when some corporation has to pay out a big settlement, it ends up being tagged on to the price of the item(s) sold by the corporation. I did some research in to the tobacco settlement under Clinton. It was a way for the tobacco companies to create a monopoly since any new companies entering the market had to pay into the multibillion settlement. The lawyers earned hundreds of millions in fees. And who got the bill? Smokers.
This is just terrible, the waste is unbelievable ... wait a second, here's a nice commercial for a prescription medication on TV, that guy looks happy, no it's not Viagra, I don't even know what it's for although the downside of suicidal thoughts does not sound good, but hey this guy really does look happy, oh what the hell I'm going to call my Doctor and ask him to give me a prescription, if it doesn't work I'll just sue the shit out of him, he drives a nicer car than I do anyway ...
Perhaps a different tactic should be used. Ban insurance companies.
Ban insurance companies...
Insurance companies perform the function of socializing (spreading out) the costs of crime, which the legal "profession" and courts absolutely cannot solve without putting themselves out of a job. Problem solvers in a monopoly position realized ages ago that solved problems equals their unemployment. Far better to coddle criminals, nurture the problems and actually create new problems.
Exactly how "tolerant" would you be of the burgler who robbed you, without insurance? Pitchforks and torches?
The number and costs (persoanl and socialized) of lawyers is inversely proportional to adherence of the courts to the "rule of law":
Criminal Law: Don't cause harm, OR ELSE
Civil Law: Keep your promises, OR ELSE
Administrative (decree. "rule of man") law: Obey, OR ELSE
Justice Defined: We are all free to profit or suffer and learn (adapt to excellence) by facing the consequences of our OWN choices. Injustice is to be forced to suffer the consequences of choices of unaccountable (irresponsible) others..
"The danger is not that a particular class is unfit to govern. Every class is unfit to govern. The law of liberty tends to abolish the reign of race over race, of faith over faith, of class over class." ~ Lord Acton
I know where there were absolutely zero lawyers...The former Soviet Union
they don't even need to cap patient rewards. just cap malpractice attorney's fees to $50k per case and you will get about $50 billion back.
Show me one example where medical malpractice tort reform was passed and insurance costs in that jurisdiction went down.
What's worse is that you get many states that pass caps on punitive damage awards without even contemplating limiting insurance premiums... If you're going to fuck over the public and completly ignore rudimentary public policy on requiring the utmost diligence of our medical professionals (and everyone else for that matter), then why not set caps on insurance premiums in a highly regulated field? It's this kind of thing that clearly shows exactly what "tort reform" measures are... handouts to the insurance companies.
I'll give it to them... it's a plausible ploy on the surface... but, it doesn't take much digging to figure out how much of a joke it is... and the significant matters we give up to do so.
[aside from the fact that the supreme court of the united states has set punitive damage caps for purposes of due process, which binds all states]
The ABA really screwed the profession. Unbridled expansion due to the relative cheap nature of starting a law school and there are no caps on students. The curriculam of schools does not match what students meet in the field. The massive memory test called the bar exam which is supposed to be state specific devotes half of the exam to a 'generalized form of law' in the multistate bar exam that is a useless exercise in choosing the more right answer and testing antiquated areas of law. The more requirements and tests they place in the field the more crap they produce in the field. Have malpractice accusations gone down as passage rates decreased?
Cap the number of students admitted each year. Scale down the massive amount of laws in this country so the regular joe could navigate basic legal tasks himself. Get rid of /make more meaninful the useless, arbitrary, subjective licensing tests (test each subject in more detail over the course of many exams that can be passed individually) and instill rigorous apprentichships for two-three years after law school (ala med school).
JD underground. Has a bit of a jaded nature on the profession. Reminds me of a different form of zero hedge

Don't make any caps or anything remotely similar to a command economy. Simply put, reduce the complexity of our bureaucracy and the rest will fall in place (and academia will collapse, but that's inevitable). Many of us, speaking for both attorneys and accountants, would like nothing more than to be out of a job because the system works perfectly... if so, I'll find something else to do...
As far as the BAR goes (the CPA is vastly harder), there is no reason why there should be redundancy with school and the exam... if you can pass the BAR, THEN THERE IS NO REASON WHATSOEVER WHY YOU SHOULD HAVE HAD TO WASTE 3 YEARS IN SCHOOL. This was the way it was before the stranglehold of academia bloat scourged the land... the only reason the rules exist is to support an overweight education system...
PS, schools have a printing press too (we only get mad at ben for devaluation of paper...)
What litigation problem?
Chicago • Raised in a $1.5 million Barrington Hills, Ill., home by their attorney father, two grown children have spent the last two years pursuing a unique lawsuit against their mom for "bad mothering" that alleges damages caused when she failed to buy toys for one and sent another a birthday card he didn't like.
Boy, this post sure struck a nerve. Just using a visual of how many 'words' in a post, bet I can spot the lawyers. I'm surprised they took the bait.
Perhaps there is something to the premise of the article after all.
And if you disagree with Nouriel because you hold PM's then Nouriel's arguments have validity. Glass houses and whatnot. (And I gave you the green arrow for the comment on wordy comments)
Plenty of glass in our house, floor to ceiling. My profession is engineering, my wifes profession is medical. Show me a profession that doesn't have prima donnas spoiling the barrel.
There ought to be a law. </sarc>
Like so many other elements of our economy, this is NOT SUSTAINABLE. As more and more people drop "off the radar", the only thing that will matter is possession. Rather than dole out the haircuts to the world's elite bond holders and start over, we get a slow decline. No surprise that lawsuits are on the rise as everyone who thinks they are getting a raw deal and thinks that they are "wealthy" fights to keep their imaginery wealth as the system slowly dies. I know two attorneys and employ one for the business. These guys spend more time on vacation preparing their cases (which are then passed on to their younger "wanna-be-partners" to actually be prosecuted or defended).
Come on guys, what else would you expect in a country where fraud is the status quo and people are waking up to this fact? Hundreds of people waking up and saying to themselves, "What? I was robbed? Call my attorney!"
There must be a pill available for those numbers, ask your doctor if it is right for you. I simply don't believe much that comes out of the BLS. I think we are all fairly convinced that economic numbers are artificially skewed for political and 'confidence' purposes. Why would anyone think that other numbers are not afflicted (pun intended) with the same corruption? We do know how the pharmaceutical industry has its massive influence ($). Logic dictates viewing these 'reports' with a high level of skepticism
"$248.1 billion = the cost to the U.S. tort system (personal injury) in 2009, or $808 per person."
"The cost per capita of tort related lawsuits has increased 800% between 1950 to 2009."
I have a question, EconMatters:
Is that in nominal dollars or inflation adjusted real dollars??
Because the funny thing is... $100 in 1950 dollars is $890 in 2009 dollars when adjusted for inflation.
"The cost per capita of tort related lawsuits has increased 800% between 1950 to 2009"
The rate of inflation between 1950 and 2009 was 790.2%.
So Is There A REAL Increase in Tort Dollars? Or just Bernanke Buck Devaluation?
Furthermore $248.1 billion in 2009 dollars would be $27.87 billion in 1950 dollars. Why don't you give me the 1950 cost to the U.S. tort system in nominal dollars as would be published by (?) Census Bureau or other statistical agency.
I Personally Agree With EconMatters Premise
In fact I cite the fact that the US DOES have the highest number of lawyers per capita in the world... I infer that is why we have so many idiot politicians who are lawyers...
But let us get the facts straight and not have any fallacious or misleading numbers cited to try and bolster our point...
Did ya miss the "even after adjusting for inflation..." text with the graph?
Yeah... Tyler's right column covers half of the graphic on my laptop...
Thanks for enlightening me...
Also, that isn't a graph... It is sort of a cartoon collage...
I tend to focus on and look for concise text rather than pictures unless it is a statistical graph...
Literally, the abundance of attorneys and lawsuits is a direct result of: (a) actually recognizing property rights; and (b) perfectly correlated to the amount of business conducted/size of the economy. This is about the only analysis you need to make...
Further, tort reform already swept the nation... 30 years ago... the insurance industry has run a massive propaganda campaign regarding the risks of med mal. The truth is that insurance companies lost their asses in the dotcom bust, among others, and needed convenient scapegoats to justify higher premiums. The tort campaign ensued. About the only meaningful change to tort reform in 30 years has been hard caps on punitive damages... which is patently unconstitutional in many states... for obvious reasons.
The truth of med mal cases is that they're either a gut lock or impossible to win... there is no in between. If it's a gut lock, the insurance company tries to lowball the shit out of you or, in the case of large damages, simply ponies up the policy limits and goes away... if it's not a gut lock, you take whatever bone they'll throw and go on. The plaintiff's burden of proof is... simply insurmountable in any "close" call.
Last, large jury awards are simply another manifestation of our inherent inflation/currency devaluation AND wealth gap. As the costs of remedial measures increase, so too do compensatory damages... likewise, as the wealth gap increases and juries are looked upon to punish wrongdoers (tort feasors or the like), then the amount needed to actually sting increases accordingly...
This is just basic stuff guys... the reason we have causes of action for injuring the bodies of others is pretty self explanatory (incentive to keep your shit straight)... doctors apparently want to go to town on the government pussy all day long without putting a ring on it... well, can't eat your cake and have it too.
cap attorneys fees to $50k per case.
So who was it you were thinking was going to front the costs of litigation for the client? $50k can't buy dick... you can burn that on a single piddly ass expert... and quickly. Cap attorneys fees and you'll cap what cases are ever heard.
PS, the rules of professional conduct set ranges for permissible contingency fees as a % of award... (in other words, centuries of the practice of law have probably contemplated each and every grievance you may have and made change/remedy accordingly).
I bet you there's a job at BP or Exxon as a lobbyist for you.
I got struck by lightning at work. The dock I was standing on was blown up. The carrier (AIG) actually asserted, after a year of treatment, that I didn't get struck by lightning after all. How the hell does one fake that? I must have done a good job because two witnesses went into shock and a couple of others went deaf.
Their OWN Dr. told me to hire a lawyer and told AIG's case manager to get fucked.
So we've got a glut of lawyers and politicians in this country, and fewer and fewer people that actually "work" for a living...
What could possibly go wrong?
"What could possibly go wrong?"
Nothing. Reality ALWAYS prevails. In this case, the economy is highly skewed to favor the unproductive at the expense of the productive who have absolutely zero reason to be so. The consequences are inevitable, simply proven bt the grim reaper of "Mathematics Of Rule":
and, Shakesphere was correct regarding lawyers.
Thank you for writing this article and highlighting the massive tort system and litiginous society we live in. I think the costs to our society from the litiginous society are much higher than $248 billion per year when one takes into account such things as mandatory insurance for some homeowners and business owners, higher insurance rates, exuberant costs to prevent lawsuits, and all the other indirect costs that result from the "lotto" lawsuits mentality. It's extortion and a drain on society.
Until you get yourself into a jam - at which point you'll direct your attorney to go for blood.
Yes...like those useless lawsuits filed against the good doctor that amputated the wrong leg of a man. I mean seriously...what the fuck did he want? a new leg? fuck him. he should just be happy he has one leg left...granted it the one that was supposed to be amputated but hey...if "god" selected him to have the wrong leg chopped off and be left with the shitty one, then it's the will of god and we all know that you don't take god to court. (historically, he's been a no-show defendant so why bother?)
but of course...medical errors are really rare. they only kill around 100,000 people per year in America.
Good thing Texas managed to kill all these frivolous law suits. Now when a Texas doctor kills you...you don't get dick. And that is justice...corporate style.
A nicely pacified sheep.
It's amazing how well Karl Rove makes otherwise intelligent people beg for their own enslavement to corporate interests.
It's really quite easy to do once you realize that those who know least obey best.
Speaking of parasites, we commoners also have over 20 million gubmint employees to support. That means there is one racker and stacker for every 15 Mericans.
With all the flaunting of the law going on it's a surprise there aren't more lawsuits.
I'm not talking about people on their tenth "slip and fall"...
I'm talking about TBTF. Sue the living shit out of them. Every last one of them.
Chunga, I think a lot of these lawsuits are underway... the reason they don't get more media attention is... to be expected. And, as you're aware, the foreclosure suits from the homeowner's perspective are one at a time, duking it out in the trenches... practically speaking, the big cases are all on the securities side... whether they be criminal or civil... and I believe there are many of these pending.
You got it. I see a lot from the "pushback" crowd with deep enough pockets to get it done. I post these links to Hamlet to show the little guy at the bottom of the Ponzi food chain that it IS possible to fight back. Some might say I am "blog-pimping" but that is not the case. Advertising is strictly forbidden at The Hamlet and there is no "pay-per-click". We survive on ten and twenty dollar donations.
Is this post sponsored by the US Chamber of Commerce?
Ok...fine. Now take a look at this eyeopening Documentary about "Tort reform" and "Frivolous Lawsuits"...
And while we're at it...how about some mention of Frivolous prosecutions? Or is that of no importance?
I really fail to see the point of this article other than to show a bunch of one sided statistics that have no meaning when presented without context.
In conclusion, I find this article to be...Frivolous.
For anyone interested in facts rather than corporate/AMA propaganda. http://www.citizen.org/documents/FLAreport.pdf
Is there any truly objective reporting any more?
Public Citizen is a 150,000 member non-profit organization based in Washington, D.C.
representing consumer interests through lobbying, litigation, research and public education.
What a completely fact-free article. The "statistics" used are no doubt provided by the AMA and insurance lobby. Yes, there are frivolous lawsuits, many of which involve businesses suing each other, patent litigation, family law disputes, and other cases that get counted in these statistics without mentioning those little details. In China, they have no tort system. How's that working out for the people there? And of course our court system in the U.S. already has a mechanism for dealing with frivolous lawsuits, so the idea that we need some big "reform" to do that is just false. Tort reform works great for the big business owners who will ensure they continue to have the ability to sue consumers and each other at will, but will screw the little guy who seeks compensation when big business screws him. Shall we take away the right to sue the banksters for fraud? That's where it would go. Think about it. This is blatant anti-consumer propaganda disguised as "plain talk." I'll bet Karl Rove had a hand in it.
As my moniker implies I am not doing OB any more as of 2 months ago. Part of the reason is the stress of the profession. The public expects perfection and any mishap, unfortunate outcome, compromised baby, congenital anomaly etc is the fault of someone, usually the obstetrician. In 35 years of practice I have been sued only once-- for a baby that had a stroke in the newborn nursery unrelated to the care durng the pregnancy, during labor or delivery. No matter--the lawyer took the case because he knew the jury would be sympathetic to the plaintiff. I settled because of this despite expert witnesses reassuring me that the care was totally appropriate.
The medical system is screwed up because of the distortions caused by insurance companies, federal regulators, lawyers(contingency fees), health care workers etc. Patients expect perfection and anything less may result in a malpractice suit, which by the way, is emotionally traumatic, time consuming and costly for the physician and the patient. Rational tort reform and a fund for patients who have suffered a major adverse event wold help. No contingency fees for lawyers and rare punitive damages might help.
There are several sides to this problem and to blame the physicians, lawyers, plaintiffs and corporations does no one any good. A more objective judicial system and limiting damages would go a long way,
How much of the damage award would be unnecessary if all long-term care were covered, including the results of malpractice? National Health Insurance.
Tort reform is the wolf convincing the sheep to climb onto the grill to warm-up before dinner.
When I was setting up my practice I decided to forgoe the NYC area because of the risk of frivolous lawsuits there. My partner trained in Brooklyn and my father and brother practice in Brooklyn. These people look to any outcome they don't like as a lottery win. People that have not taken care of their health who are now about to fall off the cliff expect a perfect outcome else they sue. Good riddance.
"anti-consumer propaganda"? Fuck you.
The only people who benefit from the "justice system" are the people who work in it: judges, law enforcement, and lots and lots of lawyers.
The idea that this abomination exists to protect anyone, let alone the mythical and never-seen "little guy" is just a grotesque lie.
Tell that to the pilot whose license, and job, I saved when the FAA tried to revoke his certificates for "falsification" of information. He had made an error on a reporting block on one of his certificate applications in the past and had brought the error the to the FAAs attention to get it corrected. Their response was to file an emergency order grounding him and to try and pull his tickets.
Had to take it to a full NTSB hearing because the FAA wouldn't back down. Case against my guy was thrown out.
So Gordon - There's a case that I'm very proud of where I took on the Federal government for the benefit of the "little guy" and he, and his family benefited.

How Executive Moms Do It.
Of the dozen female executives running Fortune 500 companies, the Wall Street Journal reported that all but one of them have children. "The prevalence of mothers in the corner office hardly means women's careers aren't disadvantaged by parenthood," wrote Joann S. Lublin in the Journal. "Men with children are more likely to rise into management than women with children in most major industries, including retail, health care and financial services, according to a U.S. Government Accountability Office report on the gender gap."
The article highlighted how some of those executive mothers were able to do both. The key: Being okay with not being able to do everything. The CEO of Sonesta International Hotels Corp. said, for example, "I didn't make it to every single sporting event of my two children when they were growing up. You make it up in other ways." (October 2010)

Although it may not feel like spring right now, the vegetables are emerging and the Green City Market returns to its outdoor location tomorrow, May 12th. That's definitely a big sign of spring for me! If you haven't yet checked out the Green City Market, make this season the time that you make it--you'll be glad you did. This bustling market that is dedicated to supporting local sustainable farmers and connecting them with the public was recently named one of America's best farmers' markets.
The Green City Market is always full of life, colors and smells and can inspire even the most reluctant of home cooks. Sit in on a chef demo (with samples of course, as well as recipes!), attend a workshop or just roam around and get to know your local farmers and producers. Children can become more familiar with local produce through Club Sprouts or get their hands dirty as gardeners in the Lincoln Park Zoo Edible Gardens.
There are a variety of fun activities scheduled for the first outdoor Saturday market of the season, so welcome spring and support our local sustainable farmers by stopping by. And don't forget to bring your market bag too!
The Green City Market is located at the south end of Lincoln Park, approximately 1790 N. Clark, and will be open every Wednesday and Saturday from May 12 to October 30, 2010 from 7:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. Click here for more details on the location, public transportation options and parking.
--In addition to Green City Market, there's an impressive list of farmers' markets in the Chicago area that are getting ready to open for the season. Stay tuned for reports as I check out some of these markets.

"The mission is to create new advocates for the National Parks," Kurt Repanshek says of his website, National Parks Traveler.
The Traveler is an expansive online resource for visitors to the parks or for anyone interested in the issues affecting them. It has over 129,000 followers on Facebook and around 1.5 million readers per year, according to Repanshek, who has called the Park City area home for 20 years.
Repanshek grew up in New Jersey and got hooked at Acadia National Park in Maine.
"I was probably 6 or 7 years old, and we drove up from New Jersey and it's just stuck with me ever since," Repanshek told The Park Record. "The seascape, the mountains, the trails -- it was just a wonderful experience and it continues to be an incredible park that some people might overlook. But it's truly, truly a fascinating place."
National Parks Traveler was launched in 2005, "primarily to broaden my platform as a freelance writer who covers issues such as national parks and public lands and wildlife issues," said Repanshek.
Soon, running the site became a full-time job.
"Right off the bat there was a great interest in the parks and it just kind of started feeding on itself. I think that first week I had 400 readers and now that's about a good hour's worth of readers," he said.
The Traveler boasts nearly 7,000 photos from hundreds of contributors via its Flickr site and it posts articles and guides from a variety of volunteer contributors.
"Some are retired park rangers, some are retired college professors, some are other freelance writers who see merit in trying to grow the Traveler," said Repanshek.
"Obviously, generations come and go and you have to keep nurturing new stewards for the parks, so to speak, so we do that by offering a wide range of content," Repanshek said. "It's kind of a cross between a daily newspaper and a magazine, in that we'll have stories on a daily basis -- it might be a search and rescue mission, it might be a congressional hearing into Parks Service budget or management issues -- and we also do travelogue pieces, such as 'How to Enjoy Yellowstone.'"
"The hope is that if somebody is surfing the net and they're looking for something on Cape Cod or the Great Smoky Mountains, they'll find the Traveler and they'll find what they wanted to read, how to get the most out of their vacation in that specific park, but then they'll stick around and start to educate themselves on the issues that the National Park System is confronted with," he said.
Inadequate funding is the biggest issue facing the National Parks, Repanshek said.
"The parks just don't have the money to do the things they need to do. And you can see that in, basically a lack of full-time rangers out there. More and more reliance is being placed on volunteers in the parks. And that's not to say that they're not important, but to be able to have a full-time staff on the payroll, so to speak, year-round, dealing with the issues in the parks -- whether that's providing interpretation for the visitors or providing maintenance or preparing search and rescue -- they struggle with that, just because they don't have the financial wherewithal to address everything," he said.
"Part of the problem seems to be that members of Congress relish having a unit of the National Park system in their district or in their state, because it's an economic draw and it's something to take pride in," he continued. "And so while they're quick to pass legislation to create new park units, they're not always as quick to provide the funding."
Forced to pick only one favorite park, Repanshek said "I have to admit Yellowstone's at the top of my list. There's just so much diversity there between the wildlife, and the thermal features and the mountains and the lakes."
When exploring the outdoors locally, "the Uintas are probably my favorite place in the backyard to escape to," he said.
The San Rafael Swell is an area of Utah Repanshek would like to see incorporated into the National Park System, although he has some reservations.
"Since the 1930s they've been talking about creating a National Park around the San Rafael Swell, and that's definitely a fantastic landscape there. It is BLM land, so it has a measure of protection to it," he said. "It comes down to what the state and what the local communities want in terms of economics. Because certainly, if you created a San Rafael National Park, it would bring in hordes of people and tourist dollars and that kind of thing. Economically, that might be good, but at the same time, it's pretty cool to go down there now in its current form and explore without the crowds. Some of the wonders down there are truly fascinating."
"It's funny, my one son asked me, 'well how can you build a career out of this, don't you run out of things to write about?' And you never run out of things to write about with the parks."
