Enes Kanter or Jonas Valanciunas? That is the question that could well be confronting the Cavaliers when they make the fourth pick in the NBA Draft on Thursday.
Assuming Cleveland takes Duke point guard Kyrie Irving with the No. 1 pick – "I don't see anyone but Kyrie Irving going No. 1," ESPN's Jay Bilas said in a conference call earlier this week – at least one and perhaps both big men will be on the board at No. 4.
Minnesota will likely take Arizona's Derrick Williams at No. 2, and Utah appears to be leaning toward a point guard – Kentucky's Brandon Knight and UConn's Kemba Walker are the front-runners – or Czech Republic small forward Jan Vesely at No. 3.
If Utah goes either of those ways, Kanter and Valanciunas will both be on the board when the Cavs pick at No. 4. If Utah chooses one of the big men, Cleveland will likely be deciding between Vesely and whichever center is left.
"I wouldn't hesitate," Bilas said. "I'd take Irving No. 1 and Kanter No. 4, if he's still there."
Fran Fraschilla, another ESPN draft expert, agreed when asked to choose between Valanciunas and Kanter, but he's not particularly high on either at the moment because both are relatively unproven 19-year-olds.
"Throw darts against the board," Fraschilla said. "None of us know how this is going to turn out (a few years from now). I would say take Kanter because of his size."
The Cavs might be leaning that way. They've already had the Turkey native – Kanter was ruled ineligible by the NCAA last year prior to his freshman season at Kentucky – in for one workout and are scheduled to meet with him again Monday, with owner Dan Gilbert expected to sit in on that session.
Kanter, who measured 6-11 1/4 and weighed 259 pounds at a pre-draft workout in Chicago, last played competitively as a 17-year-old in Europe, so gauging just how far his game has progressed is a bit of a concern.
"He's like Bigfoot," Fraschilla said. "There have been sightings, but not many."
However, most scouts like what they've seen from Kanter, who appears to be more NBA-ready than the 6-11, 240-pound Valanciunas and fellow Lithuanian Donatas Motiejunas (7-0, 224).
"This is a guy who didn't come out of nowhere," Fraschilla said of Kanter. "At 16, he was playing in the European under-18s.
"There's not a large resume there for Enes, but the resume that is there is fairly solid going back to the age of 16."
The much rawer Valanciunas is considered a bigger risk, at least immediately, for several reasons, foremost among them being the fact he's under contract to Lietuvos Rytas for two more seasons and does not yet have a buyout in place.
Fraschilla, however, is of the opinion a buyout will be reached because Rytas needs money and doesn't want to risk losing Valanciunas for nothing in two years.
"As we get closer to the draft, some sort of buyout will be worked out," he said.
Still, Valanciunas needs to add a lot of strength and develop his offensive game before he's going to be a factor at the NBA level. On the flip side, most scouts think his long-range potential surpasses Kanter's.
For that reason, ESPN draft guru Chad Ford favors taking Valanciunas at No. 4.
"They're both risks and they both have upside," he said. "If you're picking Kanter, you're picking him because he's a bit more polished offensively right now and he has a better NBA body. If you pick Valanciunas, you're picking on upside. I know some scouts think he can end up being the top pick in this draft (several years down the road), but he's got a long way to go."
Like Fraschilla, who said Valanciunas was "manhandled" by strong European centers, Bilas would go with Kanter.
"He's got the NBA body right now," Bilas said. "You don't have to wait on him as far as that's concerned.
"If not him, then who? If you're not picking him, you're just moving on to another player who has concerns."
Asked for a sleeper pick late in the second round, the first player Bilas named was Ohio State swingman David Lighty.
"He can guard, he's got a good body and he knows how to play," Bilas said. "He's a guy who will come in and do the dirty work for you."
The Cavs have two second-round picks – the 32nd and 54th overall – and might consider Lighty with the latter, especially given their lack of quality shooting guards and small forwards.
"He's a guy I think can make the league," Bilas said.
(bullet) Fraschilla said scouts who watched Kanter play during Kentucky practices came away impressed, while Ford pointed out the Cavs might be willing to take a gamble on Valanciunas – even if they have to wait a year for him to join them – because they also have the No. 1 pick.

Song Of The Euphrates: Malatya
Watered By The Euphrates, Whose Waters Are Believed Will Never Diminish, Malatya Is Anatolia's Face Turned To The Future.
Malatya is a lively, dynamic and vibrant city. Richness of nature cheek by jowl with the city center where modern urban life rules supreme makes it even more attractive. Best of all is that the natural beauty blends in with the cultural richness. Touring Karakaya Dam and Levent Valley, rafting on the Tohma River, and seeing the canyon and waterfall at Darende are some steps you need to take to explore nature around this city. Naturally this nature outing is also going to whet your appetite, so be sure to go to Sürgün Takas at the end of the day for a tasty trout feast in view of a spellbinding landscape. Sultansuyu, Orduzu Picnic Grounds, and İspendere Mineral Springs are some more places where you can enjoy nature if you have time.
Malatya is an oasis for aficionados of faith and culture tourism. Above all, Malatya is the city of Battal Gazi. Memories of the feats of this legendary hero remain fresh in Malatya. That's why it makes sense to visit the memory of Battal Gazi as you seek the city's past. You should also go to Nemrut, the mountain of kings, where the royal statues that have gazed silently on the history of Anatolia for thousands of years will take you on a splendid voyage through history. Be sure to see them at sunrise or sunset. With Aslantepe Mound, Malatya Museum and Taşhan, as well as mausoleums and medieval churches, Malatya is a cultural basin that has left a mark on history.
The best way to get to know Malatya is to see its small towns, where you can find traces of scores of civilizations, notably the ancient Commagene Kingdom. Offering different cultural richness at every step, Darende is like an open air museum. Akçadağ, where race horses are bred, also attracts notice for its Hittite rock reliefs. And Battal Gazi, Arguvan, Doğanşehir, Yazıhan and Pütürge lie waiting to be explored with their castles, mosques, and unusual cultural textures.
You can find fine examples of wood carving at Malatya. Carpet and kilim connoisseurs can easily find specimens with original designs woven in the villages.
Malatya apricots are world-famous. As you tour the city of the apricot, go to Şire Market, where you can find the precious fruit itself as well as all its processed forms from jam to sheets of dried pulp (pestil).
Malatya is also famous for its meatballs. With over 130 varieties on offer, it's up to you to find the one that pleases your palate.

Ovarian Cysts
To understand ovarian cyst, one should know the basic function of the ovaries which are two small organs in the lower abdomen holding eggs. The eggs grow, develop, and mature in the ovaries and they are released during ovulation in the middle of the normal menstrual cycle.
Ovarian cysts are fluid-filled sacs that form in the ovaries when the follicles (sacs) that contain the egg do not release it during ovulation. A woman can develop one or more cysts which can vary in size from a small blister to as big as water-melon.
Types of Ovarian Cysts
- Functional cysts: These are commonly seen in young women of childbearing age. The follicles (sacs) containing the egg do not mature and become cysts. They usually disappear during menstruation. It is important that cysts should be checked by ultrasound scan (sonogram) during or when the menstrual period is just over. If you are menopause or past menopause, you should not have functional cysts.
- Endometriotic cysts (blood cysts): These cysts are also called chocolate cysts because of its contents of thick old clotted blood. They developed in women with endometriosis and can be considered as a severe stage of the disease. They can grow with time and cause severe abdominal cramps during menstruation and painful sexual intercourse. Occasionally, it may burst (i.e. rupture) mimicking appendicitis and requiring emergency operation. Very rarely, it may become cancerous.
- Dermoid cysts (hairy cysts): These cysts are usually not cancerous (i.e. benign). They are often filled with fatty cheesy contents with hairs and teeth and bones. They are often small and may not cause symptoms. When they become large they can cause complications (see below).
- Serous cysts (watery cysts): These cysts contain yellow fluid and can become cancerous.
- Mucinous cysts (jelly cysts): These cysts contain mucus-like or jelly type of contents and can turn cancerous.
Functional cysts, dermoid, serous and mucinous cysts are usually without symptoms. However, when they become larger, they can cause a dull ache of a filling of fullness (bloatedness) in the lower abdomen (belly) or back. They may also press on the bladder causing frequent urination or difficulty in passing urine. Sometimes, they may develop complications such as getting twisted/infected, bleeding into the cyst, or breaks open (rupture). These can cause nausea, vomiting, fever, and severe abdominal pain requiring immediate operation to remove the cysts. Occasionally the cysts may turn cancerous. Ovarian cancer usually does not have any symptoms in the early stage. There may be non-specific symptoms such as loss of appetite, loss of weight and bloated feeling of the abdomen. In the late stage, there may be swelling of the abdomen with fluid and swelling of legs and feet.
Endometriotic cysts, on the other hand, are usually symptomatic (see endometriosis).
Diagnosis and Treatment
Some of the ovarian cysts are found during the annual check-up by pelvic examination. Some of them are discovered by ultrasound examination (ultrasound scan). Dermoid cysts are occasionally detected by X-ray of the abdomen because of the teeth or bones they contain.
Once the cyst is found, the gynaecologist may want to perform the ultrasound scan to see whether it contains only fluid or fluid mixes with solid – an indication that the cyst may be cancerous. The location and size of the cyst will be noted. The doctor may decide to "wait and see" and repeat the scan during or soon after the period. If it is a functional cyst, it will shrink or disappear. If the cyst persists or becomes painful, a blood test called CA125 may be performed. This test is to detect a protein substance in the blood of women with ovarian cancer (tumour marker test). However, this test is not specific as patients with non-cancerous conditions such as endometriosis and pelvic infection may also have substance positive result in the blood.
If the cyst appears benign (non-cancerous) on ultrasound and CA125 is normal, laparoscopic removal (key-hole surgery) may be done (see laparoscopy).
If the cyst is too large, it may be removed by the conventional way called laparotomy. Under general anaesthesia, an incision is made in the abdomen. The cyst is then removed and could be sent for frozen section (a microscopic test in the operation room) to find out whether the cyst is cancerous or not. If it is not cancerous, the cyst is then removed and the ovary is then restored by proper suturing. If it is cancerous, a more extensive operation involving removal of the womb may be performed.

THE ORDINARY of NEWGATE his ACCOUNT, Of the Behaviour, Confession, and last dying Words of James White, Richard Whiting and James Mackey, otherwise Magie, who were Executed at Tyburn, on Wednesday, the 6th of November, 1723.
ON Wednesday the 16th of October last, began the Commission of Peace, and Oyer and Terminer &c, at Justice Hall in the Old-Baily; before the Right Honourable Sir Gerrard Conyers, Knight , Lord Mayor of the City of London, the Right Honourable the Lord Chief Justice Prat, Mr. Justice Tracy, Mr. Baron Price, Sir William Thompson, Knight , Recorder; besides several of His Majesty's Justices of the Peace.
At this Commission of the Peace, four Men were found Guilty of Capital Offences, and received Sentence of Death accordingly, viz. James White, Richard Whiting and James Mackey, otherwise James Magie, Being very illiterate, I had orcasion to visit them the more frequently; at which times, they said their not applying more seriously to the Performance of their Duty, and the Understanding their Religion, was occasion'd by those Incumbrances and Impediments which they met with in that miserable Place where they were confin'd. After some time those Obstacles being in some Measure removed, the three Men who could read, assured me that they spent their whole time, as well Night as Day, in reading to James White, who could neither Read or Write, allowing very little time to themselves for Sleep. But one of them complain'd every Day of White's bad Behaviour, desiring he might be hinder'd from Laughing and foolishly Talking, and from Vices of a very gross Nature, which Whiting and Makey affirm'd him to be guilty of, in the Place of his Confinement, with the Women that were put in to them; threatening the Women, and terrifying them, till they were willing to comply with his wicked Commands and Resolutions.
Being ask'd how he cou'd let such Viciousness enter into his Mind, especially at a time when such miserable Calamities and Disasters lay heavy upon him? He denied not but that he had once or twice perform'd such Actions, but said, he repented and would not so Act any more in the Condemn'd-Hole; which was all he would at any time say about the Matter. But tho' all the Three who were adjudg'd most Guilty, appear'd to all that saw them, to remarkably stupid and unconcern'd, yet after the Warrant for Execution was carry'd to the Prison, their Deportment was very much altered, at least that of Mackey and Whiting, who express'd themselves how much they were greiv'd, that nothing could infuse into White any Appearance of a Concern or Regard. But at last he was so good to himself as to be persuaded to learn the Lord's Prayer and the Apostle's Creed, which he promis'd he would repeat all the way as he went to his Execution.
The Sunday preceeding their Deaths, in the former part of the Day, I preach'd to them from the Words,
Woe unto Us that we have Sinned! LAMENT. 5. 16.
FIRST, Considering from the Words, the woe in General, and the Unhappiness that all Men must expect in this Life, being born so to trouble as the Sparks fly upwards. While Courts Envy and Ambition, Cities have Faction, Villages have Calumny, and even an Established Church its Sects and Divisions, Men must acquiese in that Misery which Adam entail'd upon his Posterity, by taking Satnan's Word before that of God.
SECONDLY, We took notice what a particular Woe and Unhappiness must attend Sinners in this Life. Robbers being never safe nor quiet; but as all Men must naturally look upon such as Persons designing to spoil and prey upon 'em, so they must as naturally look upon all honest Men as their inveterate Enemies, whose business it is to detect them, and bring them to that Justice they are conscious to themselves they deserve. Especially, unhappy must they be, as they well know God and Heaven will be their Enemy, and that Death will prove the Beginning of new Woes to them, and yet expect every Hour to be Discover'd, and hurried to a shameful End: Especially, unhappy are such Men, as they dare not let Thoughts or Reflection take place in their Minds, but carefully stifle them, at the expence of their own Health, by continu'd Drunkenness and Debaucheries: Unhappy, as God does not give a Blessing to their Refreshments and Enjoyments.
THIRDLY, We endeavour'd to show them; how they were to prevent eternal Woe and Misery its faling upon them, altho' a temporal Woe had overtaken them, and loaded with Chains of Affliction, and plunged 'em into a Place of Darkness.
In the After part of the Day, I preach'd to them from the Words of David, Psal. 39. 13.
Oh Spare me! that I may recover Strength, before I go hence and be no more seen.
At which time, among other things, I advis'd them (since the Clemency and Indulgence of their Superiors had spar'd them a little, that they might recover Strength and grow more powerful in Knowledge and Goodness, by shaking off the Load of their Sins before they died,) to God for the Assistance of the Holy Ghost, to enable them to make a proper Use of the Space and Opportunity afforded them, which Opportunity they will so much covet hereafter, if they should die Enemies to their Creator here: Or if they should (as many Malefactors had done before 'em) forgot all Thoughts of suffering, because they suffer'd not so soon as they expected, and because their Acquaintance flatter'd 'em with vain expectations of a Pardon, or Reprieve.
An Account of these Malefactors under Sentence of Death.
1. JAMES WHITE, of St. Giles Cripplegate, was Indicted and Convicted, of Returning, without lawful Cause, from His MAJESTY'S Plantations beyond the Seas, before the Expiration of seven Years.
This Prisoner was born of honest but poor Parents in London, who might (as he believed) have gotten him into a Charity-School, had they endeavour'd it, and by that means have given him that Learning which their Poverty prevented their affording him themselves. He work'd he said, when a Lad, for several Persons, as they would employ him, but carry'd Goods from the Thames in Carts , &c. when he was first apprehended for stealing near 30 Pounds of Tobacco, the property of Mr. Perrey a Virginia Merchant. For that Offence being committed to Newgate, and try'd and convicted at the Old-Bailey, Feb. 15. 1721-2, and soon after Transported.
While he lay in Prison, he met with enough to have turn'd his Heart from the Vanities of this World, and to have put a little Reflection into him; above four Weeks, he said, he liv'd only on a Portion of Bread and Water; and tho' he had a Blanket to ly upon, it was for a time taken from him, by one, who besides that beat him till he made him Lame, and often used him very cruelly only for Sport.
But when he was enter'd in the Transport Vessel, their Allowance was, he said, a Pint and a half of fresh Water, and a quantity of Salt Meat, each Day; and the chief Misery he then sustained, proceeded from the Close Hole in which they were lock'd under Deck, for security; it being necessary to tye them two and two together, to prevent those Attempts which Transport Fellons have frequently made. When the Ship arriv'd in America, the Supercargo (as this Prisoner affirm'd) having been Sick, and owing his Physician a Sum of Money, went off, and left about six Felons to themselves. He being one of them, travel'd several hundred Miles about the Country, living upon whatever he could get, as sometimes Hens, Chickens, Pigs, &c. sometimes on Basses, Hollibuts, Clams, &c. which he found by the Rivers and the Sea Shores. He said, he was above six Months in this manner independant; till he met with some Indians, who liv'd he believ'd always in Woods, and they reliev'd him. Soon after he assisted some English Servants in their Work, and telling them how he was Transported, and
knew not which way to turn himself, they frequently brought him Victuals, without acquainting their Mistress at home with it. But he was soon after, hired by a Planter , and tho' he labour'd very hard, 'twas a comfortable Life, for he had Food sufficient, and all Necessaries; till his Employment being to carry fresh Water over the Rocks, for the use of Ships, that were bound for England, the sharp Stones so cut his Legs; That the Salt Water and the Gravel prejudicing the Wounds. He lost the use of his Feet; and tho' the Planters Wife heal'd one Legs for a time, it grew again so bad that he was unable to Work, and his Master was therefore unwilling longer to maintain him.
After this, he said, he suffer'd again a World of Misery. Till lighting upon a Master of a Vessel, who was willing, for the little Work he could do, to bring him to England, he gladly enter'd the Vessel, and went to his Friends in Cripplegate Parish, London. He then, he said sold Fruit publickly about the Streets, till he was apprehended for Returning Home, and again committed to Newgate. When Sentence was pronunc'd upon him, at the Sessions in the Old-Bailey, he could plead nothing in his own behalf, but that he was a young Man, affirming that he would certainly continue in America if the Court would extend any Mercy toward him.
As for the time that he lay under Condemnation, I have already given some Account of his Behaviour at the first; I shall omit some other particulars, which can be imputed only to his want of Knowledge of his Duty. 'Tis more satisfaction to me to remember, that before he died, his Mind was in a great Measure chang'd, and he began to consider how Great and Momentuous a thing it was to Die, and to enter into the Presence of God; desiring that a Person, who is himself under Confinement, might be in the same Place of Confinement with him, to Read and Pray with him, at those Hours when he was not at the Prayers in the Chapel.
2. RICHARD WHITING, was Convicted for robbing his Master C. Sanderson, Esq; of silver Candlesticks, a silver Tea-pot, Cups, &c. to the value of upwards of one Hundred Pounds, besides other Goods, the Property of Mr. Saunderson, Junior, on the 21st of Austust last, by feloniously entering his Dwelling House in Lincolon's-Inn Fields.
This Prisoner was brought up with his Parents in Somersetshire, (the Place of his Birth) till he was above 20 Years old; his Father who is a Farmer, having a sufficiency of Business for him even at the Time that he left him: But he said, he did not commit any Ill Action that occasion'd his leaving his Friends and Acquaintance, but having been always the Favourite and Darling of his Mother, upon her Decease he could not endure his Home any longer, fancying that his Father had more Affection for his Sister than for him; but now he said, he greatly wished that he had not ventur'd into the wide World, but had liv'd and died where he was born. The first Place he went to, he said, was the Bath, where he assisted a Gardiner , and liv'd much to his Satisfaction: But having once left home, he had a Mind continually roving and unsettled; so that going 30 Miles towards London, to repair a Garden for a Clergyman there, he acquainted
the Gardiner with his great Inclination to go to London, to try his Fortune, and the Gardiner thereupon recommended him, so that he was hired immediately by a Councellour, and coutinu'd his Servant , till larger Wages induced him to remove to Mr. Saunderson's; where he acknowledg'd he lived perfectly happy and serv'd the best of Masters. Being ask'd then how he came so barely to reward him, as to betray and lay him open to Plunderers, and to form so vile a Conspiracy against one who had taken him under his Roof and entrusted him with his House? He showed a very great Concern, and said his Ruin was owing to bad Company, for having gotten Acquaintance with two Irishmen, who were with him in the Fact, they persuaded him to so wicked and ungrateful a part; he added, that he was two Nights without any sleep, considering whither he should prove faithless and treacherous to his Master and Benefactor or not. But he did not deny but that afterwards he mention'd to them a Voyage to New-England or Maryland, for he had entertain'd a Thought of going beyond the Seas for a good while, and this being started to him, gave him an Opportunity, he thought, of going in such a Manner as to be a Gentleman there, having been told, That some Hundreds of Acres of Land might be purchased for one Hundred of Pounds. So that, he said, he insensibly fell into the Contrivance, out of a Desire to live easie and free from all manner of Business.
Being asked by a Gentleman, why he did not (when he was apprehended on Suspicion) rather betray his Comrades than his Master? He answer'd, That seeing, in New-Prison, the Misery of Confinement, he trembled to think that if he confess'd, he must be dispatch'd to Newgate, and suffer Death, because he believ'd it would be impossible for him to discover his Accomplices, so that they might be apprehended, not knowing whither they were fled.
He said farther, that he was oblig'd to a Person in Holbourn, with whom he liv'd a while, for Bailing him out of New-Prison; But yet, he had not receiv'd any Encouragement, or Countenance, he believ'd he should have Confess'd, to his Master, the wrong he had done him.
During the time that he lay under Condemnation, he behav'd himself with a great deal of seriousness, and with much Devotion at the Publick Prayers; endeavouring to understand the Nature of the Sacrament, and to prepare himself for the Reception of it. The nearer he approach'd to his End, the less value he had for this World; and the more certain he was to suffer, the more easie he grew at the Thoughts of Death.
3. JAMES MACKEY, otherwise Magie, was also Convicted of feloniously entering the House of Mr. Saunderson and stealing of Plate, &c. in the same Place and at the same Time, &c.
This Malefactor was brought, when young from Waterford in Ireland, where he was born. In England he work'd with his Relations, as a Butcher for many Years (being at the time of his Committing this Fact about 36 Years of Age) and was always esteemed a faithful and industrious Person; till growing weary of Labour, he immagin'd he deserv'd something better in Life; but being unsettled, and not knowing which way to turn, he enter'd himself in the Foot Guards : Ha
ving an Allowance for it, he lodg'd himself, and became acquainted with Richard Wilkinson (who was Evidence against him) they being as he said, born in the same Town in Ireland; but so great was their Friendship, and seemingly sincere, That he little thought one would have occasion'd the others Death.
He at first appear'd strangely uneasie, that he, who was not (as he said) in the Fact, but was in the middle of Lincoln's-Inn Fields during the Commission of it, must suffer Death, &c. He defy'd the World to lay any Injustice to his Charge, and said Vengeance would light on the Authors of his Misfortunes. But he did not long continue in such Notions and Sentiments. He after a while set himself very earestly to the Performance of his Duty; but constantly complained of the Ill Behaviour of James White, as a Nusance and Disturbance to them; tho' he said he continually offer'd to Read by him, and tender'd him such Instructions as he was capable of giving him. He said that when a Soldier and otherwise, he had seen the various Workings of Providence, and the Hand of the Creator, but yet was at last so blind to them, as to fall to a base and ignominious Death; a Death which Dogs endur'd; but yet he; added, he did not doubt, but he should be enabled from above, to bear the hock as became a Man and a Christian; for he perceiv'd those Terrors, which he always believed to be the Forerunners of Death, to make no great Impression upon him; but as all Men receiv'd Life upon Condition of resigning it again, he was willing and ready to do so, since Fate and his Lot in Life seem'd to demand it, and to call upon him for it.
THE Morning of their Execution, James Mackey declared himself a Roman Catholick ; and James White appearing to be Unqualify'd for the Reception of the Holy Sacrament, it was receiv'd by Richard Whiteing alone, who with many Tears and much Fervency and Devotion, applyed himself to his Duty. All being carried in one Cart to the Place of Execution, They only desired the Prayers of every Body, and recommended their Souls to God; Then resigned their Breath, Mackey and White immediately, but Richard Whiting seem'd to be longer in Dying, lifting up his Hands to Heaven as long as any Power of Motion remain'd.
This is all the Account that can be given by me
T. PURNEY, Ordinary, and Chaplain.

It was another hot and humid day and having a low of just 78 this morning we reached a high of 94 at Philly International Airport this afternoon; in fact were just two degrees off of tying the record high of 96 set back in 1957! Now, just some food for thought.....
Back in 1957 were people talking about Global Warming? (I'll get off my soap box now)
Anyway, overnight will remain humid with showers and thunderstorms as a cold front approaches the region; lows will be in the lower 70s. This will lead to a wet Thursday with scattered showers and thunderstorms as the front pushes southward. Highs will just be in the middle 80s with a north to northeasterly wind. We're still in the middle 80s on Friday, but with much lower humidity so it will feel like the perfect late-June day.
Unfortunately this weekend won't be completely dry as a wave of low pressure pushes in on Saturday and giving showers and thunderstorms for the afternoon. Highs will be in the upper 70s; it clears out on Sunday and highs will be in the lower 80s with low humidity. This continues on Monday as well with highs in the lower 80s, but then a warm front pushes northward and provides heat and humidity once again. Highs will be in the lower 90s with showers and thunderstorms in the late afternoon Tuesday and leading into Wednesday.

Modern scientific studies have shown that Olive leaves have a number of compounds, mainly phenols and lignans, that protect the plant from environmental stress and may confer health benefits when consumed. Oleuropein, one of the best known active constituents of Olive Leaf, has been endowed with many health properties linked to its free radical scavenging activity. NutraFlora FOS is a pleasant-tasting, concentrated source of fructooligosaccharides (FOS), a non-digestible carbohydrate which aids the growth of beneficial intestinal bacteria such as Bifidus and Acidophilus.

I was almost out of Olive Leaf and ordered this because of the price, and thought the FOS was nice, but having used it before with no effect, I didnt think much about it. Well, I couldnt have been more wrong. Within 3 days my digestion has been completely transformed. Bloating and cravings reduced, ad without going into details a good clear out at first with regulating qualities afterward. I take one with each meal. I should say here that I was already taking a good probiotic and top quality enzymes with a very healthy diet, but this proved the turning point. Also, although I don't remember the brand of FOS I tried previously it was a very well thought of brand in a powder form, it had no effect. SO I dont know if it's the source of the FOS, the capsule or what but this is the ticket for me where other FOS failed.

Fly Hummer HT1 (SX210) launches tomorrow in Russia
Remember Hummer HT1 phone? We knew it was designed by French Modelabs, but had no idea about who will actually be making the phone.
It did not look familiar and it was clear that HT1 Hummer is not just a rebranded version of some major vendor cellphone.
Well, now we know. Hummer HT1 phone is based on a Fly SX210 slider:
Who is Fly, you may ask? Well according to their website:
Fly is a European mobile phone company founded in 2003 with offices in countries including UK, France, Germany, India, Russia, Ukraine and Nigeria… Fly has already become a leading mobile phone brand in Eastern Europe. In Russia, Fly has achieved a phenomenal growth in the past few years to reach 3% market share at the end of 2006. In the CIS, Fly has reached a 4% market share with particular success in Ukraine and Kazakhstan.
It looks like Fly is almost exclusively focusing on East European markets for now, so it's no wonder that you have not heard much about them.
But they are pretty well known in Russia so it's no wonder they decided to add their own brand name to Hummer phone when they launch it as Fly Hummer HT1 in Moscow tomorrow.

Reviews for Baked Chicken and Mushrooms
"I love the ease of prep, the low carb aspect, but it needed some seasoning. Not sure what to add, but just read the thoughts about bacon etc. This is definitely one I'll make again, but need to think about how I can jazz it up. Thank you so much, Lise, for sharing your creativity."
"Recipe was great after I followed the advise of Chris1414 and added bacon. I fried 3 peices of bacon and kept the drippings in the pan. Put the bacaon aside. Followed recipe for the sauce but used Marsala wine and Chicken broth...I used almost a cup of broth. I added the crumbled bacon back in the sauce. Using extra sauce allows you to cook the ingredients and sauce before pouring over the chicken. The chicken was perfectly cooked. We served this with fresh angel hair pasta. A definite do over. I would probably add some salt, peper and garlic powder to the chicken during the first cook and before putting on the sauce. Also topped with fresh Parmasan and Mozzarella. Yummy...Oh, I also puounded out my chicken breasts to about 1/3 inch thick. Very good...make it your own!"
"This recipe tastes average. Although it is a creative recipe that is very easy to make, it needs more flavor. Bacon? Additional spices? It needs something added to it."
"Simple and delicious!"
"Fantastic! This dish was so tasty that we went back for seconds! I will definitely make again very soon!"

Garrett Gilbert
May 10, 2014
NEW YORK (SMU) - SMU quarterback Garrett Gilbert has been chosen by the St. Louis Rams in the 2014 NFL Draft. He was taken with 38th pick of the sixth round and 214th overall. Gilbert is the second Mustang taken in the 2014 NFL Draft, joining cornerback Kenneth Acker, who was selected by the San Francisco 49ers with the 4th pick of the sixth round (180th overall). This marks the second time in three seasons that SMU has had multiple players selected in the NFL Draft.
Gilbert is the 10th Mustang to be drafted in last six years, joining Acker (2014), Cincinnati Bengal Margus Hunt (2013), Washington Redskins Aldrick Robinson (2011), Josh LeRibeus (2012) and Richard Crawford (2012), Tennessee Titan Taylor Thompson (2012), Pittsburgh Steeler Kelvin Beachum (2012), Denver Bronco Emmanuel Sanders (2010 - Selected by Pittsburgh) and New Orleans Saint Thomas Morstead (2009).
Gilbert, the 2008 Gatorade National Player of the Year, enrolled at Texas in 2009 and was thrust into the BCS Championship Game against No. 1 Alabama, replacing injured Colt McCoy after five plays. Gilbert threw TD passes of 44 and 28 yards to position the Longhorns for a comeback victory.
Gilbert then started every game in 2010, passing for 2,744 yards and 10 touchdowns. Two games into the 2011 season, Gilbert suffered a season-ending shoulder injury (torn labrum) and was granted a medical redshirt. He then decided to transfer to the Hilltop.
In 2012, Gilbert threw for four TDs in SMU's win over Houston, and, in SMU's must-win regular season finale against C-USA Champion Tulsa, Gilbert ran for 111 yards, becoming the first SMU QB to run for 100 yards since 2007. He then led SMU to a Hawaii Bowl championship, passing for 212 yards and a TD and rushing for another 98 yards and score.
The 2013 season started well for Gilbert and the SMU offense. Gilbert completed 35+ passes in each of SMU's first three games, becoming the only FBS player in the BCS era to complete at least 35 passes in each of his team's first three games. Against Rutgers, Gilbert set five single-game school records. He completed 45 of 70 passes for 484 yards and five touchdowns and added a pair of rushing touchdowns as SMU erased a 35-14 fourth-quarter deficit to force overtime. Gilbert threw three TD passes and a tying two-point conversion in the fourth quarter and ran for two touchdowns in the overtime periods. He finished with school records in attempts, completions, passing yards, total offense and TDs responsible for, earning American Athletic Conference Offensive Player of the Week honors for his play. In the win at Memphis, Gilbert completed 27 of 43 passes for 321 yards and two TDs and rushed for 49 yards, earning AAC Honor Roll accolades.
Against Temple, Gilbert set a new SMU single-game record with 538 passing yards and accounted for six TDs, as the Mustangs rallied from 21 points down to defeat Temple, 59-49. Gilbert completed 37-of-53 passes and connected for four touchdowns. He also rushed for 97 yards and two additional touchdowns. His school-record 635 yards of total offense were the seventh-most in a game in NCAA history. Led by Gilbert, SMU also set a school record with 728 yards of total team offense.
For his performance, Gilbert was named the Walter Camp National Offensive Player of the Week, the NCAA.com National Offensive Player of the Week, the ESPN Five-Star Player of the Week, CBSSports.com National Offensive Player of the Week, The Earl Campbell Tyler Rose Award National Player of the Week and the American Athletic Conference Offensive Player of the Week.
Gilbert completed 38 of 47 passes for 403 yards and two touchdowns and rushed for another TD in the loss at Cincinnati, again earning American Athletic Conference Offensive Player of the Week honors. It was the third 400-yard game of the season for Gilbert.
Against UConn, Gilbert was 33-of-52 for 353 yards passing with 4 touchdowns. It was his eighth 300-yard game of the season and fifth-straight, breaking the SMU records for both. It was also his sixth straight multi-TD game. For his play, he was tabbed to the AAC Honor Roll.
Gilbert suffered a knee injury during the first half at USF and missed the remainder of the season. Gilbert was 19-23 for 138 yards passing when he left the game, but his season averages did suffer as he missed the entire second half. Despite the injury, Gilbert still finished second nationally in total offense per game at 379.5 YPG, trailing only Derek Carr of Fresno State, and fourth nationally in passing yards at 352.8 YPG. His total offense average of 379.5 yards per game was better than 42 FBS teams.
Over the last five games before his injury, Gilbert averaged 459 yards of total offense and 420 passing yards, with 17 TDs and only one interception, and was named American Athletic Conference Offensive Player of the Week three times.

ah... i am :newbie: so i have a question
i already made some unreleased skins and a model too.
is it possible to make small models
(like yoda)
ive seen some screenshots about a large yoda-model, but i want to do a small one.
tell me if you´ve got some news about that.
I'm on DSL and the past week or two downloads have been about 6kbps or slower!
I'll look into that. I wasn't aware people were getting download speeds that slow with fast connections. We're supposed to have that file server hooked up to a 100MBPS line... and granted, we do approx 40,000 downloads a day on averge.. but that wouldn't eat up more than 10MBPS at any given moment each day.
I'll look into it. Thanks for your patience in the meantime.
I'm on 56k and it takes me fricken forever to download stuff. On top of that, I download a 7 mb zip file and I get this:

CD Projekt RED said The Witcher 3 is going to be a next-gen RPG, so it only figures that the moment after the PS4 announcement is made by Sony, the developer comes forward to say The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt will be coming to the system. It won't be a PS4 exclusive, naturally, but it will be released on the system. Not only that, but CD Projekt Red says it will come to the PS4 not long after the console is released. Perhaps it'll make our 2014 brighter.
Of course, it's only expected that The Witcher 3 would call for PS4 style technology. CD Projekt RED confirmed it will use a new RED Engine 3 to allow for a more expansive open world and eliminate loading screens. When players join Geralt on this adventure, they can go anywhere at any time. The story and quest is non-linear. Which means it should feel a bit like a The Elder Scrolls game, only there will be a bit more structure and story to it since it is still based on Andrzej Sapkowski's novels and star a protagonist with a set backstory.
The Witcher 3 won't be a PS4 exclusive though. The developer has said from the beginning that every next-gen system will have access to the adventure in 2014. Which means that we'll see it on the PC and probably the nextbox. You know, next-Xbox. Don't give me that look. It's clever. Well, I thought it was clever. Anyways, don't let The Witcher 3 be the only reason you buy a PS4. Go in informed. Wait until after E3 2013 to really start getting excited about the next gen systems and their games.
In the meantime, keep an eye on Steam. The Witcher games tend to go on sale whenever there's a big sale event. It would probably be a good idea to grab the first two games before getting involved in the third.

Elevated BP May Prematurely Age the Brain »

Researchers say the early changes seen with higher blood pressure may set the stage for problems with thinking, memor"...
Read the Elevated BP May Prematurely Age the Brain article »
Should overdosage of HYTRIN (terazosin hcl) lead to hypotension, support of the cardiovascular system is of first importance. Restoration of blood pressure and normalization of heart rate may be accomplished by keeping the patient in the supine position. If this measure is inadequate, shock should first be treated with volume expanders. If necessary, vasopressors should then be used and renal function should be monitored and supported as needed. Laboratory data indicate that HYTRIN (terazosin hcl) is highly protein bound; therefore, dialysis may not be of benefit.
HYTRIN (terazosin hcl) tablets are contraindicated in patients known to be hypersensitive to terazosin hydrochloride.This monograph has been modified to include the generic and brand name in many instances.

Inti Academy was awarded $2,500 from the Hannaford Helps donations.
On Friday August 28th, Inti Academy and Saint Anselm College organized a pickup soccer and pizza day for Saint Anselm Students and Inti children at the Beech St. park. 18 freshman St. A's students came to Inti for three hours.
Inti Academy is excited to announce the support of FutsalNH, who pledges to match any donation for the Inti children to play futsal in 2014-15, up to $5,000. Inti children love playing futsal in the winter. Please help us by making a tax deductible donation to the cause. FutsalNH will match it!
Inti Academy of Manchester is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization so all donations are tax deductable. Our EIN is 26-4232954.
Manchester, NH, December 18, 2013 – The U.S. Soccer Foundation has awarded a grant to Inti Academy of Manchester to support its program operations.
Dorocasi Kwizera was born in Burundi, Africa and lived there until the age of eight. She remembers playing soccer during her free time at school. Dorocasi and her friends would make soccer balls out of plastic bags and other things they would find.
Inti Academy is partnering with Currier Museum Art Center's community outreach initiative ArtWorks! in Schools to provide a four-week multi-media art course as part of Inti's after-school enrichment activities. The course is fully funded thanks to generous grants from The Oleanda Jameson Trust and NH Charitable Foundation. There will be four ninety-minute classes conducted at Inti Academy during February and March 2014.
Inti Academy does not charge fees. All of our activities are free. The children generally live below the poverty line. To serve these children with quality experiences, we are dependent on financial donations from foundations, corporations, organizations, and individuals. We are also fortunate to receive contributions of soccer equipment from soccer clubs and individuals.
There has been a lot going on at the Inti After School Programs. Here is a quick snapshot of the highlights.
Inti Academy is proud to announce the release of it quarterly newsletter, Inti Insider - The Sunny Side.
Inti Academy is thrilled to announce a partenership with TestSoup, a local NH startup company. TestSoup will be providing online ESL study materials, free of charge, to Inti players and families. To read more about this partnership, please click here.
On Wednesday, August 21st, Inti Academy attended the Southern New Hampshire University Men's Soccer team preseason scrimmage against Vermont.
Claude Kwizera is one of the many success stories at the Inti Academy. We are lucky enough to have gifted children from over 19 different countries. All of these children have a common thread, the love for soccer. Whether they find their talents in soccer or in other areas, Inti is proud to have played a small roll in their lives.
Inti Academy increased it's summer offerings this year by adding a second camp in addition to it's annual camp held at Gill Stadium.

|November 1999 U.S. Edition
For more than 30 years, doctors have used the antibiotic vancomycin when all others have failed. Now vancomycin itself is starting to fail. More than half the strains of Enterococcus faecium, a bacterium that causes infections after surgery, are resistant to it.
Enter Synercid, a new antibiotic that was approved by the Food and Drug Administration in September. In about half the cases, Synercid works when other antibiotics including vancomycin dont.
But bacteria have already started to become immune to Synercid.
Part of the problem is that a close cousin of Synercid, virginiamycin, has been routinely fed to poultry (to speed growth) for over a decade. That might explain why bacteria are starting to become resistant to Synercid.
To keep that from happening, you can urge the government to:
Prohibit livestock producers from routinely adding medically important antibiotics to animal feed to promote growth. Write to: FDA Commissioner Jane E. Henney, 5600 Fishers Lane, Rockville, Maryland 20857 (email@example.com).
Not let U.S. trade policy endanger the publics health. The European Union has sensibly banned antibiotics used by humans from animal feed, a decision supported by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and the World Health Organization. The Clinton Administration, in a misguided effort to protect U.S. meatpackers and drug companies, is protesting that decision. Write to: U.S. Trade Representative Charlene Barshefsky, 600 17th Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20508.

3% and 5% Sodium Chloride Injection, USP is a sterile, nonpyrogenic, hypertonic solution for fluid and electrolyte replenishment in single dose containers for intravenous administration. The pH may have been adjusted with hydrochloric acid. It contains no antimicrobial agents. Composition, ionic concentration, osmolarity, and pH are shown in Table 1.

|*Normal physiological osmolarity range is approximately 280 to 310 mOsmol/L. Administration of substantially hypertonic solutions ( ≥ 600 mOsmol/L) may cause vein damage.
The VIAFLEX plastic container is fabricated from a specially formulated polyvinyl chloride (PL 146 Plastic). The amount of water that can permeate from inside the container into the overwrap is insufficient to affect the solution significantly. Solutions in contact with the plastic container can leach out certain of its chemical components in very small amounts within the expiration period, e.g., di-2-ethylhexyl phthalate (DEHP), up to 5 parts per million. However, the safety of the plastic has been confirmed in tests in animals according to USP biological tests for plastic containers as well as by tissue culture toxicity studies.

Louis Blasts X Factor's Christopher Maloney
Louis definitely knows a thing or two when it comes to the X Factor and the hard work that goes into competing, so it's no surprise that Louis has publicly given his opinion on the most controversial contestant of the year – Christopher Maloney!
Having come out the other end of the show on top, Louis' view should be respected – and we love that he has gone after Mafoney!
Louis tweeted that Chris is showing his "nasty side" after he claimed that he works harder than any other contender on the ITV1 smash.
Louis also proclaimed that he "has to go" when the results show airs tonight. This isn't the first time that Christopher has gained criticism from his musical peers – Tulisa continually slated his cheesy performances and Little Mix members Jesy and Jade have also condemned his presence in the show.
Louis did lay on the praise for his favorite this year, singer-songwriter James Arthur, by tweeting to his nearly 7 million followers that James "has to be" this years winner and also tweeted the voting number.
James famously auditioned with an acoustic and unique version of Tulisa's song "Young" and had emerged as a worthy winner for this years competition. Louis should know more than anyone how to manipulate the X Factor to an advantage, so make sure you vote for your favourite this weekend!
As the only boyband left in the competition we're throwing our support firmly behind Union J –

All things Mother Earth Living
by Robyn Griggs Lawrence, Editor at Large
TerraCycle, upcycling, green products
I have kids. And every once in a while, I have to let go of my desire to feed them only locally grown, organic, good-for-you snacks. Letting them eat Fritos is just one more thing I said I'd never do—before I had kids—but found next to impossible in reality.
Now I don't have to feel quite so guilty about the environmental impacts of my kids' snacking. TerraCycle is partnering with Frito-Lay North America to collect used chip bags and turn them into a variety of consumer products and green building materials. TerraCycle is an upcycling company, meaning that it uses waste in its existing form to create new products. Recycling, by contrast, breaks down the materials before new products are created.
TerraCycle's goal is to collect 5 million chip bags this year. All of FritoLay's chip brands—Lays, Doritos, Tostitos and others—are eligible for the program. TerraCycle will turn the bags into items such as purses, pencil cases and tote bags, which will be available at major retailers, such as Wal-Mart, by late 2009.
TerraCycle and FritoLay have teamed up to turn used chips bags into new consumer products. Who knows, your snack bag today could be your tote bag tomorrow! Photo Courtesy TerraCycle
To encourage people to participate in the program, Frito-Lay will donate 2 cents to a charity of choice for each chip bag sent to TerraCycle—and it'll even pay the postage. The program is limited to FritoLay employees and up to 100,000 consumers, so the company is asking people to join, form or captain one of 1,000 Chip Bag Brigades if they would like to participate. Because the amount of brigades will be limited at first, FritoLay has said it would give priority to mothers and college students with a passion for the environment.
The new partnership with TerraCycle reflects FritoLay's efforts to make its products more eco-friendly. In the past five years, FritoLay has reduced the amount of plastic used in its packaging by 10 percent, eliminating 12 million pounds of material used to make the chip bags. In April the company announced that its Sun Chips will be sold in a fully compostable bag made from plant-based renewable resources by 2010.
So as my kids pop open another bag, I know it may not be the best thing for their health, but at least the bag their chips came in won't spend the next 100 years clogging up the landfill.

text: The Malaysian Serama bantam is the smallest breed of chicken in the world, weighing less than 500g. They are only 15-25 centimeters tall and are the result of crossing Japanese bantams with Malaysian bantams. The modern version of this breed was created in the early 1970s by WeeYean Een from Malaysia but the origins of the breed are reputed to date back to the 1600s. They are supposedly named after the Thai king, Raja Sri Rama, who, like these little birds, was renowned for his majestic appearance and proud carriage. There are 3 categories for this breed and they are graded according to their weight with the smallest and most desirable weighing just 350g. They are very upright little birds with a small neat comb. The breast is high and pushed upwards with the wings almost touching the ground, giving the impression that they are standing to attention and the tail is held at 90° so that it almost touches the back of the head.

Rocket Engine, Liquid Fuel, Navaho Missile
This two-chambered, liquid-fuel rocket engine built by North American Aviation served as the booster for the Navaho missile that was powered by two ramjets. The booster was to quickly get the missile up to supersonic speed for its ramjets to operate. Each chamber produced 120,000 pounds of thrust, or 240,000 pounds total, using kerosene and liquid oxygen as propellants.
Navaho had a 8,850 kilometer (5,500 mile) range. It never became operational and was canceled in 1957. However, its booster-rocket engine was extremely important in the evolution of American large-scale, liquid-fuel engines, including those for the Redstone, Jupiter, Thor, and Atlas missiles, the Saturn V launch vehicle, and the Space Shuttle. This object was donated to the Smithsonian in 1970 by Rocketdyne.

At CES this past week, Google announced the formation of the Open Automotive Alliance which consists of Google, GM, Honda, Audi, Hyundai and Nvidia. According to the OAA's website, "the OAA is a global alliance of technology and auto industry leaders committed to bringing the Android platform to cars starting in 2014."
From their press release, the OAA quoted Sundar Pichai, SVP of Android, Chrome & Apps at Google, "Millions of people are already familiar with Android and use it everyday. The expansion of the Android platform into automotive will allow our industry partners to more easily integrate mobile technology into cars and offer drivers a familiar, seamless experience so they can focus on the road."
The first goal of the alliance is to make it easier for app makers to add car mode features to their applications. Then it's up to the developers on how they can use the Android platform to enhance or expand their apps.
According to a Texas A&M study last year, the average commuter spends 38 hours a year in traffic and in big cities like New York, San Francisco and LA the average bumped up to over 60. That's 60 hours a year of a dedicated consumer that is sitting in a chair waiting to be entertained.
So what does that mean for the music industry?
It means that the industry can now work closer and easier with app developers to help exploit catalog and new releases. Current streaming services can be more creative in the ways that they deliver content to their consumers. New applications that use music as a catalyst for their application can use other Android features to get customers excited.
I've never invented an app but I do use them everyday. There are endless opportunities to utilize music within the Android platform and using the car as an extension of the application.
Imagine if there was an application that took your location via GPS and played bands that are from the city you are in. Or if there was an application that you can input your road trip into Google maps and it auto-populates a playlist of bands that are from your route. What if there was an application that laid out your road trip for you to visit all the historical places in hip hop history?
The possibilities are limitless.
What would you like to see in an application that utilizes music and the Android platform in a car?
Leave comments below and let's see if any of these can actually happen!

Yesterday we examined the "formal" mechanisms for innovation success, defining an innovation team and process, and developing innovation governance. Today we examine two of the most powerful yet intangible innovation domains: corporate culture and innovation environment. Executives understand the subtle power of corporate culture but must align the culture to innovation needs and opportunities. Further, they must provide clear guidance as to the appropriate physical environments for innovation, and the best internal teams and external partners.
Culture makes or breaks innovation
Corporate culture is often the most powerful barrier to innovation programs. After years of focus on efficiency and right-sizing, most corporate cultures little motivation or incentive to introduce or to consider new ideas. The existing business as usual culture, combined with "not invented here" attitudes and short term perspectives drive behavior that limits innovation to small improvements at best.
Executives, more than anyone else in an organization, have the power to change the corporate culture. If executives delegate innovation activities without simultaneously working to improve the culture, middle managers will use existing tools within existing frameworks in an attempt to develop and commercialize ideas. No wonder so much innovation is barely distinguishable from existing products and services. Few executives understand how much an existing "business as usual" culture hinders innovation. The very behaviours you sought for efficiency and effectiveness now become barriers to innovation success.
Culture change comes from the top
Of course, changing an existing corporate culture is not a simple task. It must start from the top, with a new mission and vision. Executives must explain the realities of the competitive environment and the need for cultural change. Based on that new vision, executives must define a new image of the organization; define new processes, new structures and tools. Further, executives must define new perspectives, new attitudes and new reward structures. Most importantly, people within the organization must understand the need to change the culture, and "what's in it for me". A focus on your people, their alignment and engagement, is paramount.
People are rational actors. They work on tasks that align to their evaluations, their job descriptions and their compensation plans, regardless of demands from executives. Existing evaluation, compensation and reward systems reinforce the status quo and resist innovation. Executives who expect innovation from their organizations must change all the factors that would stand in the way of full engagement of employees. Asking for innovation while evaluating and compensating people for status quo results is a Sophie's choice for employees, and they will inevitably choose to work on existing, familiar products and services over risky innovation activities.
The vital source for establishing the right culture is the CEO
Again referring to the Capgemini study, almost 70% of the respondents felt that CEO's were the most important "source" for innovation culture. Executives, through communication, through their establishment of metrics, through rewards and recognition programs and through other actions build and support an innovative culture or create barriers for the origination of a culture of innovation.
Setting the Environment to Innovate
Innovation is an activity that spans multiple time frames, business disciplines and corporate silos. Good innovators understand that every corporate boundary – business function, process or product team – is a yawning gap for ideas to overcome. To accelerate ideas to market most effectively, corporate silos must be reduced or eliminated. New innovations face tremendous external hurdles to achieve success externally. Executive teams must reduce internal hurdles and barriers caused by internal silos.
Creating a positive, supportive environment for innovation internally requires senior executives to work to bring disparate internal capabilities together to accelerate decision making. The innovation team will have to work with product teams and enabling or support teams such as legal, regulatory, finance, IT and others in order to develop and commercialize a new product. Each of these teams has its own goals, priorities and responsibilities, and may not be receptive to supporting new ideas. Executives must create an environment where innovation is encouraged, but also accelerated throughout all of the steps necessary for an idea to become a new product or service.
Environments need to be far more open
Beyond internal environments, executives must define interactions with the external environment. Increasingly, "open" innovation is a viable role to gather ideas, develop new concepts or technologies, or "spin out" concepts and technologies to trusted third parties. In the near future, when we talk about innovation we won't draw distinctions between "open" and "closed" innovation. Many innovation activities will have an open or external component. Since working with partners and customers in this regard is still very new, executives must define the innovation strategy and scope: what "open" or external partners are appropriate and under which conditions. This defines the external environment and reduces barriers and hurdles for innovation.
As innovation teams mature, defining external partners and how and when to work with external partners and customers becomes critical. The external environment is simply another component to a holistic innovation capability, and executives must help define the breadth and scope of a team's interaction with external partners, customers and channels.
Everyone must feel the environment is engaging
Environment isn't simply about the reduction of internal silos or the identification of external partners. Innovation is also about working in interesting, creative physical spaces, designed to spark new thinking and drive new ideas. Experience and research demonstrates that new experiences and creative environments provide new perspectives which can lead to new ideas. Creating an interesting, engaging physical environment for innovators is crucial to success. Attempting to generate new concepts in boring cubicles or conference rooms is similar to starting a bonfire with damp wood. Identifying the environmental factors and boundaries that create barriers to innovation, or developing new environments to spark more creativity are both responsibilities of senior executives.
The Executive Innovation Work Mat series
This article is within a series of seven articles that discusses the Executive Innovation Work Mat approach and the seven domains for innovation alignment.
In this set of articles we are discussing specifically each of the seven domains for innovation alignment, our thinking in the rationale and benefits for this combined framework.
Here we looked at the two domains of Culture (domain 5) and the Environment (domain 6) and why these need to be worked through. We have discussed the need for innovation to have Strategic Alignment (domain one) as well as develop the context, the communication techniques and encourage an emerging common language (domain two). That was then followed as we discuss the need for having the appropriate Structure, Processes and Functional design (domain three) and the importance of Governance (domain four).
Our next article we will be discussing the final domain where People align with the motivations and measures (domain 7) for relating to innovation. As a final article we will summarize the benefits of an integrated framework delivered through the Executive work mat and draw some conclusions.
We provided as the introduction within this series "the seven domains for innovation alignment" as the overarching piece in these seven articles, and then we provided the justification in the article "the role senior leaders must fill for innovation success"
We would encourage you to read all seven articles to fully relate to this

BBC Fooled by Syrian Rebel Propaganda Photo on Twitter
The BBC recently suffered a predictable consequence of relying on citizen journalism: It published a photograph circulated on Twitter by a Syrian anti-government activist that purportedly shows dead civilians after a government massacre last month in Houla, Syria. The image turns out to have been misappropriated and mislabeled for the purposes of propaganda.
The photo was actually a 2003 photograph from Iraq by Getty images contract photographer Marco di Lauro, John Harrington reported May 27 on his Photo Business News & Forum blog. The image shows dozens of bodies dug up from a mass grave. They were victims of a brutal crackdown by former dictator Saddam Hussein against a Shi'ite uprising after the 1991 Gulf War.
A Syrian activist reportedly circulated the image on Twitter as evidence of a Syrian crackdown against its citizens, in order to stoke the international outrage against Al Assad's government. The BBC saw it, "obtained some information pointing to its veracity," and published the image with a disclaimer saying it could not be independently verified, according to the mea culpa that BBC published on May 29.
"It was a mistake," the BBC said, "and we apologise for it." The image was displayed for approximately 90 minutes before it was taken down, the BBC says.
Harrington argues that the mistake was a predictable consequence of the rush by the BBC and other news organizations to embrace citizen journalism, while mouthing all the right words about upholding standards for accuracy, fairness and objectivity.
One would think that a few glaring errors like this might make reputable news organizations realize that there are no shortcuts to gathering and vetting news–and also make them twice shy about crowd-sourcing news in order to save money.
But for now the BBC seems undeterred. "Fortunately, such mistakes are very rare," the BBC assures its readers. "BBC News has a strong track record of using content from non-traditional sources, and of stopping numerous examples of incorrect material making it to air or online – but it does underline the need to handle such material with great care."

The Plague
by Albert Camus
Analysis: Steaminess Rating
Exactly how steamy is this story?
There are a few mentions of sex at the beginning of the book when the narrator is describing people in Oran, but nothing too racy (he uses words like "affair" or "passion." Yawn.) In general, the people in Oran seem more interested in making profits than having sex. All in all, this book is pretty tame.
Yet, we'd bet good money that Rambert has reasons other than love for getting back to that hottie in Paris who, by the way, isn't so much his wife as his "wife" (they're not really married). And of course, when you've got a town ridden with plague and 200,000 people who think they might not live to see tomorrow, a "life is short" mantra crops up.
