Since the chat itself happens at a rapid pace, it's often difficult to note interesting facts in particular URLs as they appear on-line. Here's a place to take a more leisurely look. I've rearranged some of the pieces to try to capture the various threads of discussion (which sometimes get lost in the rush of live chat).
Please send email with your follow-on questions and comments, and suggestions for topics we should focus on in future sessions. So long as the volume of email responses is manageable, I'll post the most pertinent ones here for all to see.
Richard Seltzer -- Today we want to continue our discussion about
Web-access to
databases and database-enabled Web applications (and other ways to create dynamic, personalized pages). What are the alternatives? What are the business benefits?
Jeff Foust -- Hi Richard, this is Jeff, Web-Net webmaster.
Tom Dadakis -- Hi I'm Tom Dadakis who has developed website & strategies for GE, GE Captial & IBM
Kaye Vivian -- Hi everyone...Kaye Vivian, communications consultant from New York. I'm glad to be back again! :)
Richard Seltzer -- Welcome, Kaye. I also see that there's a Cindy Smith in the background there. Please speak up and let us know your interests.
cindy smith -- Hi Everybody...Cindy Smith, Web Projects Designer - att.com, I thought I could do this (especially on lunch) but just as soon as I go type a msg... I'm interested in web designers, programmers, whiz-bang technologies and examples of real life applications.
Sudha Jamthe -- Hi Everyone, Sudha Jamthe, Internet Enthisiast and Software Engineer.
Jeff Foust -- Richard -- I'm not the person who installed the script, but I believe it's based on a freeware Perl CGI program. Check Selena Sol's archive of CGI scripts; I think it may be there.
Kaye Vivian -- Hi Jeff, you may not be the right person, but I'll ask anyway :) A couple of weeks ago, there was a change in the screen appearance of this chat program...all the buttons below the typing box were on one line and seemed slightly smaller. Then it went back to how it is now. I'm viewing at 1024X768 and it's a nuisance to have the Clear Form on a second line. Do you think that's something that could be fixed?
Jeff Foust -- Kaye -- I'm not aware of any changes in the script, but I'll look into the problem.
Sudha Jamthe -- Kaye: To answer your question about the chat look and feel, no change was done from our side. In fact I see Clear Form on the same line. So, is its possible that you are using a different display size? Pl let us know so we can refine it.
Kaye Vivian Su, I'm using small fonts in a 1024 X 768 resolution on a 17" monitor. It just seems to me that the buttons themselves are too big and could be resized so they all fit on one line. I either have to set my lower window so that the Clear button doesn't show, in order to maximize the upper window, or have only about 15 lines showing in the upper window. It's not that big a deal, however, I do find it awkward. :)
Richard Seltzer -- Kaye -- have you had any luck using chat or
forum to capture
the ideas of that diverse set of people and to get those folks talking to one another? (Something that sounds great in theory, but is actually quite difficult to do).
Kaye Vivian -- Richard, I am a very big proponent of chat/forums on web sites, and have been trying all year to get this particular client to find the value in that. So far, they haven't been able to. They are only now really using E-mail at about 75% effectiveness, are mostly not connected to the Internet (from work at least), do not yet have an Intranet (though one is being built) and simply have no idea how forums and discussions online could have an impact on (1) information sharing (2) idea generation and (3) creating a sense of community. Little by little I'm leading the horse to water... :)
Sudha Jamthe -- Richard: With due compliments to you, I haven't seen a single chat site on the web where they do a good job of capturing the discussions to build upon it. What is the key to doing it?
Richard Seltzer -- Sudha -- We're learning about chat as we use it. I don't think there's any magic formula, just an accumulation of practical steps, which I tried to summarize in a article at my site http://www.samizdat.com/events.html I'd appreciate pointers to other chats that, like this one, are scheduled and regular and deal with business topics. I'd like to learn from what others are doing. But, I also, haven't seen anything quite like this outside of AoL.
Sudha Jamthe -- Hi Cindy: We have an enterprenuer series section in our monthly Web-Net meetings where we hear success stories. We don't have it during summer and will resume again in Fall.
Kaye Vivian -- Hi Cindy, Welcome. My basic background is marketing communications, and I get information all the time about seminars focusing on case studies and success stories. If I have a chance in a second I'll go grab one or two I may have lying around and give you the info on them. I do notice that many of them use the same speakers...makes me wonder whether there are only a couple of organizations that are willing to talk about what they are doing .
Richard Seltzer -- Cindy -- there's lots of info of the kind you are looking for at http://www.mainspring.com It's a paid subscription service, but some of their content is open for public view.
Richard Seltzer -- At Digital we've been talking about how to make the company's Web presence much more interactive and personal. I believe that some of the applications we were discussing last week might be very helpful in trying to do that. Have any of you engaged in "Web transformation" projects? In other words, taking a large static site and giving it a totally new feel? If so, please share your experience.
Richard Seltzer -- Kaye -- I'm thinking of this topic in the broadest sense. There are lots of different ways for making Web-content more dynamic. Many of those are related to the use of databases-- both to keep track of the interests and tastes of visitors/members and to serve up miscellaneous pieces of info and graphics to a tailored, custom view of the site for each visitor. I see that kind of capability out on the Web. I'd like to get a better idea of how it is done, and also the business-side of it -- what are the tangible business benefits? what business models work and when?
Kaye Vivian -- Ah, now there's a subject close to my heart! :) I'm in the middle of a web transformation project. About 15 months ago I developed a web site for the US division of a global organization in 70+ countries. Because they were new to the technology and didn't realize what was involved in keeping a site fresh (despite all my memos and discussions instructing them that they had to supply fresh content regularly), it basically turned out to be a rather elaborate and multi-faceted online brochure. Since then the site has quadrupled in size, but grown like Topsy...the sections don't really all seem to fit together. We are now undergoing a major re-do of the entire site, maintaining the International graphic standards imposed upon us, yet creating a much more dynamic and interactive site. We are also building in some commercial applications that we were unable to even consider previously. Of course, we are keeping our target audience squarely in mind and designing for them, and not for "popular appeal" :). I estimate we will have the new look ready by Fall. We've just started to rethink the graphic look and that will be a major factor in the overall approach.
Sudha Jamthe -- Kaye: Sounds very interesting. Can we see the site?
Richard Seltzer -- Kaye -- That sounds right on target. Can you tell us anything about how your are making it happen? And what are the new dynamic and interactive features? If I were looking at a typical page, what would look and feel different about it?
Kaye Vivian -- As to what we are changing, wow. Lots. We have basic pages now with standard "click here for..." icons and a text navigation bar at the bottom. One of the newer sub-webs we installed uses frames. We will probable go to frame navigation, simply because that is a much neater/cleaner way to do it for a site with lots of sub-categories. I have been considering navigation along the lines of what Interwoven does. We are going to have a commercial area with a secure server, where people can subscribe to certain information for a fee, and potentially several online communities in specialty areas. In addition, I'm hoping we will be able to do some really interesting and lively interactive things in the "recruiting" area, since they have to attract a steady stream of young college graduates. I'd welcome suggestions for anything others have seen that would be appealing to young people and help to overcome a somewhat stodgy impression of the organization that has always existed. It will never be state-of-the-art, but we only have to look like we're playing in the right ballgame. :)
Sudha Jamthe -- Richard: I don't know if this is Web transformation, but I am facing an interesting change with the web at work. We setup an intranet with static content, mostly archives of info, Then we started changing it to dynamic content to read of documents more to make it easy to maintain. Now we are adding threaded discussions to archive our learnings and are extending the intranet to our international offices. I have been in Project Management for a while but I couldn'nt predict what was coming or the pace 6 months earlier. So my question is: Does anyone have such transformation experience? Is it just a re-engineering exercise? How do you predict and manage the change?
Kaye Vivian -- Richard, it's a lot of fun redesigning this web! I'm having different people I have been slowly educating over the last year come up to me and actually offer workable suggestions for changing the web! They don't know what they are talking about for the most part, but they now understand that it's an interactive environment and are getting a grip on new ways to look at their information and present it interactively. That is such an amazing transformation! :)
Richard Seltzer -- Kaye -- I'd suspect that there's a good consulting business that could be built around Web site transformation. It would certainly be easy to find prospective clients. The vast majority of major company sites are totally static today. What's needed is the business pitch -- examples that show how transofrming a site can make a difference at the bottom line. Intuitively, it's obvious. But many business people don't seem to have intuition. They'll just ask -- what does it cost? and what do I get for it? So can we point to some examples?
Kaye Vivian -- Richard, I think I will start saving web sites . My hunch is that once a company undergoes a transformation, they blow away the old one. It might be hard in a year or so to find good examples, because you will never have the old one to compare to! Certainly the good sites are constantly in a state of transformation. Some of the Microsoft areas and AT&T areas for example have changed dramatically in the past 18 months for various reasons. And sites that once relied on an image map for navigation now go for alternate and more section-specific navigation aids. And of course, the initial use of frames by so many sites...Netscape itself, as an example...exploited the technology without regard to the frustration level of users! I, for one, can't stand to have the information I'm looking for displayed in a tiny window only 50% of screen size because of frames I'm forced to bring along! I'll try to think of examples where I know of sites that have been transformed and perhaps send a follow up message.
Kaye Vivian -- Su, I'm typing this note just to remind me when I read the transcript that I need to send you some information. I can put you in touch with several people I know who have dealt with exactly what you are going through at work. Transformation is what is happening almost universally right now IMO with web sites that have been up a year or more. The growth has been so amazing, and people were unprepared (or structures were inadequate). And with the shift to Intranets for some of the information and the exponential growth there, predicting and managing change really is a critical element.
Richard Seltzer -- When I was thinking about this topic, I was hoping to get info about ISPs who provide data-base capabilities or the ability to build dynamic Web pages as a value-added service. But from what I'm hearing today, it is dawning on me that there is an evolution at work. Companies typically start with static pages and then evolve to dynamic and interactive. And there may not yet be enough small and medium size companies who understand the importance of that to support ISP value-added services. Though I do suspect that will change soon.
Richard Seltzer -- Kaye -- As you know from previous chats, I'm non-technical. I come at the Internet from a user and business point of view. But if you want to do authoring cheaply and easily, the Internet Assistant for Word (which is a free download from Microsoft,and which I believe is built into Office 97) is ultimately simple to use and quick. No need to learn HTML. You simply create a document using the html template, and can quickly add hyperlinks, etc. That's how I do my site. If you are dealing with material that is mostly text (like newsletters), I'd recommend it highly.
Jeff Foust -- Kaye - Are you talking about archiving already-published articles or archiving new issues as they're created. The solutions will be a little different in each case.
Kaye Vivian -- Jeff, re. archiving, yes, already published information. Some is reprints from trade publications but mostly it is company-generated newsletters in various business line areas. I can get them to take a text file of it now and use Internet Assistant in Word to save the files as HTML and forward them to me, but that is about all the sophistication most of the various people I deal with have. I'd really value a way to streamline this archival process! Plus, as a good consultant, I want to make it cost-effective for my client to get results. It's not cost-effective the way we are doing it now (plus it's a huge drag on my associates!).
Tom Dadakis -- Richard, my most recent assignment was identifing and assessing the multiple website which had popped up in the IBM North American division during the last 30 months. We identified over 125 separate URL websites for this division. Some of these sites had not been maintained in an ongoing basis. Many were outside of the firewall. We prepared a strategy by which they determine a goal or purpose of these websites which can be measurable assessed after a period of time, 6-12 months. These goals could be visits (and revisits), downloads, transactions. All of these sites will be transformed according to this new criteria.
Jesse Smith -- My dad worked at GE service shop for 27 years
Richard Seltzer -- Tom -- looks like you were typing the answer at the same time I was typing the question. How do you go about coordinating 125 web sites and at the same time try to make the content more interactive and dynamic? Are you using any database applications (or things of that kind)? Are you setting up chats and forums? Do they or will they allow users to talk directly to one another and to add to the content of their sites (through forum etc.)?
Tom Dadakis -- Richard At those companies, they were still dealing with static pages. In some cases, stuck in HTML 1.0 becuase they we're designing to the lowest common browser. Move to frames took several meetings. Dynamic pages was not on the scope.
Tom Dadakis -- Recent web management tools like Webmapper from Netcarta now MS helped track these sites. We were not responsible for these sites, just sureveying them. Chat was not what they were interested in.
Richard Seltzer -- Todd -- by "play it as an animated graph", do you mean like making graphs out of stock price data? What's the animated piece and what do you mean by a "general control"? Sounds interesting.
Todd -- Richard - Stock prices are a potential application. Instead of showing the changes in price from left to right (or whatever), one could show them rising and falling over time (animation). The control would enable the viewer to control the animation: forward/backward, fast/slow, pause, single step...
Jeff Foust -- I've experimented a little bit with something called PHP/FI, which basically allows you to include scripts in HTML files that are interpreted and then sent to the user. It's pretty simple to learn and it does have some interesting abilities, including the ability to interface with several types of databases.
Sudha Jamthe -- Jeff: Where can
we find PHP/FI? Is it a software we need to
install to use it?
Richard Seltzer -- Jeff -- Is there a site/page I could go to to learn more about PHP/FI? Is that shareware? Is there a company that sells software of that kind?
Kaye Vivian -- Jeff, I'm very interested in PHP/FI. Is it a language or a program? How can I learn more?
Jeff Foust -- Check out http://www.vex.net/php for more information. It's a software package that runs on the server and provides the ability to create scripts within Web pages. It's free; distributed under GNU Public License.
Jeff Foust -- http://www.vex.net/php/intro.phtml has a good introduction to PHP/FI.
Kaye Vivian -- Tom, we should have a chat about NetObjects Fusion. I can give you ALL the details about that. I have used it on three web sites now, including my own. It's a fabulous program, that I have come to hate . It has so much to offer, yet it creates such bloated code! :( And maintenance is a nightmare if you are used to just jumping into the HTML and fixing some small problem. I have a real love-hate relationship with it!
Todd -- Kaye - check out the ODI talk following this one. They are in the business of storing all kinds of Web data.
Richard Seltzer -- Sudha -- I saw at the Web-net home page that your next speaker will be dealing with a database related topic. Can you give a quick summary of what his company does/provides?
Sudha Jamthe -- Richard: Our next speaker is from Object Design Inc (www.odi.com). He will focus on their Object Database called ObjectStore. The idea is that the web presents many different data objects that cannot be stored in simple rows and columns like in a traditional database and the new concept of Object Databases is evolving. This talk will help anyone developing Web applications like an electronic store or software development using Java.
Richard Seltzer -- How does Internet telephony strike you as a topic for next week? If so, please send me suggestions regarding individuals and companies to contact regarding that, and pointers to background reading. If not, what other topics would you suggest?
Kaye Vivian -- Internet telephony is a good subject, Richard. I'll send some suggestions. Kaye Vivian, firstname.lastname@example.com...signing off. :)
Richard Seltzer -- Kaye -- yes, please if you can make a list of examples and send it by email for inclusion with the transcript.
Tom Dadakis -- Tom Dadakis signing off
Richard Seltzer -- All -- as usual I'll do a transcript of this session -- editing it and recreating the threads. I hope to have it up sometime tomorrow. Check http://www.samizdat.com/#chat
Richard Seltzer -- All, before signing off, please post your email addresses and URLs so we can followup. Also please send email with followup thoughts and suggestions for inclusion with the transcript. firstname.lastname@example.com And let me know if that telephony topic is on target for you.
Jeff Foust -- See ya... Jeff Foust, firstname.lastname@example.com, http://reudi.mit.edu

Scott McCarley -- Sorry I missed this weeks discussion. I would have liked to participate. I must also complement you on the layout and set up of the discussion area. I really do like it.
Richard Seltzer -- Thanks to all. Hope to see you again next week.
Just in case you missed it in the flurry there at the end of the chat today, here's the ODI info, and you might be able to squeeze it into the chat transcript. :) ODI = Object Design, Inc.
(from the Web-Net opening page)
When: July 8th, 6:30pm
What: "Killer Web Applications with Object Databases" by Richard Hanagan of Object Design, Inc.
I missed about the last two months of chats, but will peruse them to keep up-to-date. Internet Telephony would be a great topic, but at a higher level of things, I'd like to learn more about the Mbone from an expert. I've been reading about this "thing" and I am very intrigued about its potential to drastically change the way we communicate digitally.
Just a suggestion.
David Schafer, http://www.mercyhealth.com
I'd be most interested in Internet publishing. However, I may not be able to make the July 17 session, so I'd prefer if we didn't have it then.

What was your intention when you chose both Gr- names with the other two? Was it coincidence, did you think you wouldn't have more, or did you want them to have matching initials? Just curious. If it was just a coincidence, I think you can use another initial and no one will question it. Or if it was intended, then Grant (or Graham!) works. But I wouldn't feel obligated if I were you. I am one of three girls and two of us have E names and one L, and we never thought anything of it.
Names that end in n: Nolan, Owen, Ewan, Julian, Sebastian, Soren, Declan, Callen, Conan, Ronan, Damien, Calvin....Calla Florence | Esme Cordelia | Gwyneth Rosalie | Hazel Matilda | Olive Kerensa | Phoebe Coraline | Sylvie Marigold | Thea Rosemary | Willa Margot | Zara Emmeline | Alasdair Theo | Archer Nathaniel | Callum Jude | Emmett Wilder | Julian Emrys | Leo Vincent | Milo Sebastian | Lucian Mateo | Rhys Griffin | Thorin Jasper

I think Grant works well with Griffin and Grace. I also like Graham and Grover with Griffin and Grace.
You may also want to consider names that begin with G but not the Gr.
Griffin, Grace, and Glenn
Griffin, Grace, and Gavin
Griffin, Grace, and Garrett
Griffin, Grace, and Guthrie
For names similar to Cohen, consider Colton, Collin, or Coleman - all of which the nn Coe would work.Gwendolyn Mae... Meredith Jane. ... Josephine Claire...Catherine Esme... Evelyn Grace ** Arlo Grant ... Drew Thomas ... Eli James ... Owen Vincent... Jay Theodore

Added a product review for 2011 Airborne Wingman Bike 5/3/2012 4:25 PM
AIRBORNE WINGMAN - An Aerial Ace for the Rider on a Budget.
The Good: I'm the proud owner of an Airborne Wingman. The Wingman is a dirt jumper and urban assault machine. It also works great for pump-tracks, 4-cross and dual-slalom. Not to mention, it's a rolling work of art you can throw down sick tricks on. The Wingman's hydro-formed 6061 aluminum frame is a masterpiece and has been described as a work of art by many. It's beefy yet light and has an integrated headset. The top tube and rear drop-out designs are wicked cool, like no other on the market. The frame has only one gusset, which is an open-ended design at the down-tube/head-tube junction. The Wingman is currently only offered in a 17.5" frame size. Airborne's Wingman stands out for several reasons. One reason being the frame design. Another being the components it's spec'd with. It comes out of the box with 160mm Tektro Auriga Comp hydraulic brakes front and rear. Yes, front and rear. A Marzocchi Bomber DJ-3 fork comes equipped on this beast, which can be found on bikes in the $1,000 range, featuring preload adjust on top of the right stanchion. Traction is put to the ground via BFC-II chromo tubular crank-set, Quantra sealed bearing hubs and Alex FR30 wheels wrapped in Kenda K-Rad 2.3" rubbers. Cockpit consists of Funn Components with 710mm Fatboy bars with lock-on grips, Crossfire stem and seat post, and their Throne saddle. This bike has an ultra-low stand-over clearance, so it's super flickable and whipable. Making it easy to control, keeping your shins and knees from making unwanted/needed contact with the frame. Which I find aids in cornering and busting out your favorite tricks. I run my saddle slammed, I find it helps me in cornering and for tricks as well... and it looks freaking sweet. The Wingman's frame is rigid with short chainstays which makes for a flex-free experience when cornering and getting up to speed. The 28/12 gearing is a little on the tall side but works great for my style of riding. The bike is rigid and rolls excellent, making every bit of leg movement flow effortlessly into forward momentum. Manualing on the Wingman is nearly a subconscious act. Lifting the front end is a breeze thanks to the nicely tucked in rear wheel/tire. This thing jumps and flies through the air like a fighter jet. You can land this bike anywhere you can fit it. It launches like a guided missle. The Marzocchi DJ-3 is stiff to absorb hard landings. Cornering is like riding on rails, making it effortless to change lines and carve berms. The Kenda rubbers make ample traction in dirt and urban environments. Airborne cuts out the middle man, which means you get an epic deal on a sweet rig. The Wingman can normally be purchased for $800, but you can currently purchase it for $700. My opinion is this rig is better than a lot of other dirt jumpers found in the $1,000 price range. It does require some assembly. So for those of you like me who love to wrench on things, you even get to put it together yourself, how cool is that. When you open the box you will find everything is well protected and held secure with lots of foam and zip-ties. This thing could be dropped as a care package from a plane and survive.
The Bad: Here are some tips/upgrades to keep in mind. Wrap up the chainstay with an old tube and a few zip-ties. It will eliminate the noise of the chain slapping the chainstay. I also put a loving dab of thread lock on the crank bolts, just to make sure they don't vibrate loose. If you plan on doing bar-spins or tail-whips you might want to invest in longer brake hoses.
Overall: I must say, I absolutely love the Wingman. It has become my primary rig. A+ to the Airborne crew. It's fast rolling and great for urban assaults and dirt jumps/pump-tracks, light with low stand-over for excellent cornering and insane aerial trickery. Hands down, one boss rig.

Hi Ladies, I am new to this group. Glad I found ya! I have a question and I am hoping that there are others out there with positive advice/experience with this.
DD is 13mos old and doesn't have 1 single tooth in her little mouth. She has shown signs of teething for literally months (drooling, chewing, unexplaned fussiness, white pressure spots in mouth, but they go away, etc.). Her pedi is not at all concerned at this point and thinks she's going to wake up 1 day with an entire mouth of teeth, so I am not too terribly upset by it but it seems like everyone else's lil ones have at least a tooth or two adn I can help but think about what's up with this. DH and I both sprouted teeth around 7mos. Anyone else have or had a LO get teeth super late?

Watch hot co-eds put their sloppy blow job talents to the test in the third edition of Oral Exams. You'll cream, and they'll swallow!

There was a bar on Bakura. It was not just the only bar on Bakura, of course. The planet had them in several points.
And it was not a particularly special bar, either. It was dirty and grimy, and the glasses did not look to be in the best state of cleanliness.
Jamis Yon wrinkled his nose at the drink that was brought to him by the pretty and rather flirtatious waitress. He didn't like being here, but this was where he remembered his parent's bar being. He felt almost... naked, though, without the lightsabers at his side. He'd had to leave them in a small storage compartment, hidden behind a lot of junk in his fighter.
He sniffed the drink. It smelled like a combination of droid oil and turpentine. He set it away from him, and looked around.
From what he remembered from his days as a youth, he'd sat behind that bar often, staying out of his Dad's way as he served the customers. His father'd been good about not giving anyone too much to drink. That wasn't the way he did business.
Of course, some had gotten a bit violent when he wouldn't serve them. He'd always been good about handling those situations, too. Jamis wondered what had happened since he'd been gone that had changed this place. He took his drink, untouched, with him and moved to the bar. The bartender came up to him.
"You got a problem with that drink, boy?" the man growled. Jamis looked at it.
"I'm not really interested in it." he said. The man blinked, confudsedly. To forestall any stupid questions, Jamis went on. "I'm looking for Grogrin and Halia Yon. They used to own this bar."
The man gave him a measured look. "Who are you?"
Jamis decided to lie. "I'm the executor of the will of their son, Jamis. The young man died recently, and I'm trying to locate his parents, who are the beneficiaries."
The man looked at him. "Man, that's gonna be tough. Losing a son."
Jamis coughed. "Do you know anything that could help me?"
The man shook his head. "Naw. Maybe Mr. Dreflo would know." seeing Jamis' confused look, he added "He's the manager."
Jamis nodded. "If you could tell me how to get to him?" The bartender called over the waitress and had her take him up a small set of stairs to the upper floor.
In Dreflo's office, Jamis coughed politely. Dreflo, who'd been doing some paperwork, looked up. He had a narrow face, messy black hair, and was as skinny as a rail. He stood up and took Jamis' hand for a handshake.
"Urich called up and told me about you. " he said, waving a hand when Jamis began to explain why he was there. "I've just been looking, and found the address you want out of some old public records." He handed Jamis a piece of flimsy with an address written down on it. Jamis thanked the man and turned to leave.
"I hope you find her. She needs all the help she can get." Jamis, about to leave, turned around. "Mr. Yon's dead?" he asked.
"Dead for nearly a decade and a half. That was when I bought the bar from Mrs. Yon. See, Jamis Yon was kidnapped one day, jsut lifted away. They never did find out what happened to him. Although," he paused, and a crafty look came into his face "Seeing as how you're the executor of his will, you must know what happened to him."
Jamis nodded. "Yes, I do. And no, I'm not at liberty to tell you. There are laws I must abide by." Dreflo nodded. Jamis held up the piece of paper. "Once more, thank you for your help." He walked out the the door, holding the piece of flimsy like it might explode.
Quoth the Raven; "Nevermore, nevermore."

Feb. 3, 2007
LOS ANGELES (AP) - UCLA coach Ben Howland likes to remind everyone there's no easy games in the Pac-10. For one day anyway, his team made a mockery of that thought.
Arron Afflalo scored 16 points, Luc Richard Mbah a Moute added 14 and the fifth-ranked Bruins led all the way in beating Oregon State 82-35 on Saturday for their 17th consecutive home victory.
"We want to come out and play as hard as we can every night, no matter who the opponent is," Howland said. "It shows a maturing level on our team."
The Bruins (20-2, 9-2 Pac-10) maintained a one-game lead over Southern California in the conference standings going into Wednesday's game between the crosstown rivals.
UCLA built a season-high 30-point lead in the first half, when it shot 70 percent from the floor, and held the Beavers to a season-low 18 points. The Bruins are 13-0 at Pauley Pavilion this season after winning their final four home games last season.
"We wanted to come out with the same intensity as we did against Oregon," said Darren Collison, referring to his team's two strong halves in a 69-57 victory Thursday. "If we want to get where we want to go, we got to have games like we did today."
Oregon State (9-15, 1-10) lost its sixth in a row and got swept by the Bruins for the second year in a row. Marcel Jones was the only player in double figures with 16.
"We were exposed in every possible way," Beavers coach Jay John said. "We all go through this outcome every once in a while. It is a risk you take when you come into Pauley."
The Beavers scored a season-worst 35 points - six fewer than their previous low against Hawaii on Nov. 19. They shot 31 percent from the floor, had 21 turnovers, got outrebounded 37-29 and had nine assists to 24 for UCLA.
"I love all the unselfishness," Howland said. "That's fun to see."
Oregon State was out of contention from the opening tip, when the Bruins opened with a 20-5 burst and kept on going.
"In early December, we watched a very good University of Michigan team come in here and not look very good," John said. "UCLA can do that to anybody they play. Tonight it was us."
Leading by 37 midway through the second half, Howland cleared the floor of his starters, giving major minutes to benchwarmers Nikola Dragovic, James Keefe and Ryan Wright.
Dragovic finished as UCLA's top reserve with eight points in a season-high 12 minutes.
"I was working hard and waiting for my chance," said Dragovic, a Serbia native who sheepishly admitted he was winded by game's end.
Freshman Mustafa Abdul-Hamid got into his second Pac-10 game of the season, hitting a 3-pointer that pushed UCLA's lead to 45 points. That began an exodus by fans eager to escape outside into a warm winter's day.
"You got to see guys have the opportunity to score," Collison said. "The players on the bench are the ones who get us better every day."
Collison had 10 assists before leaving early and giving Russell Westbrook a lengthy turn at running the offense. Westbrook scored eight of his 11 points during a 17-3 run that ended the first half.
"Everybody was getting involved, everybody was unselfish, so it felt good," Westbrook said.
With 2 minutes left, the student section perked up as never seen DeAndre Robinson, Joey Ellis and Matt Lee came off the bench. Robinson scored with a 1 minute to go, drawing raucous cheers.
"It's great to see them get rewarded like that," starter Josh Shipp said.
The Bruins scored 29 points off Oregon State's turnovers. By game's end, their shooting had cooled to 58 percent.
Hardly needing to talk strategy, the Bruins came out of their locker room four minutes early to start the second half. The Beavers emerged with 1 1/2 minutes remaining.

We recently discussed a bipartisan group of Senators and House members who correctly identified a global trade problem and its negative domest....
57 Senators and 152 House members…sign(ed) letters to Barack Obama Administration Secretary of Commerce Penny Pritzker. In which they expressed concern about inexpensive Korean steel being in mass quantities imported here….
Why is the bipartisan contingent concerned about the cheap Korean steel dumping? American job loss.
"U.S. steel producers employ 8,000 workers across the country making OCTG. Each of these jobs supports seven additional jobs in the supply chain and the steel produced for the U.S. energy market accounts for approximately ten percent of domestic production."
These officials are asking the Administration to ensure Korea is adhering to its trade pact commitments.
"As this case proceeds, we urge you to ensure that the Department's investigation is objective and accurate and to closely verify the information submitted by the Korean producers. Strict and full enforcement of our trade laws is essential for the future of the U.S. steel industry, its workers, and steel communities throughout the country."
Which is of course perfectly reasonable. If Korea isn't doing what it said it would, there should be consequences and repercussions. As Mexico too is hopefully about to find out.
For the long run, we need to begin laying the groundwork for making these trade deals a whole lot freer – and fairer. Far less complicated – and thus much better. And thus easier with which to comply – and when necessary to enforce.
To get there, we need less government domestically.
The damage being done by (the U.S.) government to (its) domestic manufacturing and production has been awful and increasing – for decades. As government piled on ever higher taxes and more and more laws and regulations, more and more domestic production became internationally-manufactured imports.
We have the industrialized world's absolute highest corporate income tax rate. The cost of the regulations we dump on businesses is simply stunning – more than $1.8 trillion per year. And then we wonder why less and less people want to do business here….
Korea can make steel – and then ship it half way round the world – and still price it below our domestic production in (large) part because…our domestic price of government is so incredibly huge.
And we need less government from governments all over the world.
"Trade Wars" actually aren't about trade – they are about government trade policy. If peoples are trading freely, there isn't a "War" – there's commerce. The "Wars" only happen when governments get involved – placing tariffs, regulations and subsidies in the way of the flow.
It becomes a regulatory arms race. A government imposes another subsidy or tax. So several others in response impose new subsidies and taxes of their own. Lather, rinse, repeat.
It is neither free nor fair trade when a nation's industry succeeds not by by being better – but by being better government-subsidized and tarriff-protected.
So we need to as much as possible get governments out of the Trade-War-making, industries-and-markets-warping business.
Let businesses self-determine – with their goods, services and prices in unfettered competition.
The more government we can peel back – both here and abroad – the more jobs and the freer and fairer trade we all will have.

Anyone who wants bigger government will get less freedom and less economic activity. Sometimes the basic economic facts get in the way of the lying Keynesian economic theory which if followed leads to today's Obama economy with high unemployment and depressed economic activity. If Americans can't realize that after 6 years of failed Keynesian economic policy that the only way to be successful is to do everything possible to restore free market which includes lower taxes and less regulation of all industries which will result in a successfully stimulated economy and a bright future for ALL Americans.
not only is it true in domestic steel production but all other industries as well as other sectors. government officials pick winners and losers in all aspects of our economy. they pick which "charitable" organizations get subsidized with our tax dollars, eg plan parenthood, and through regulations, taxes, and lack of action, they set the price of energy. they are still fighting to get total control of the health industry.
Get rid of Obama.

245 sec. 5 - Negotiations (Spring 2014)
Instructor: Rebecca Westerfield (view instructor's teaching evaluations)
Instructor: Jamie Jacobs-May (view instructor's teaching evaluations)
View all teaching evaluations for this course
Units: 3
Meeting Time: Th 10:00-12:40
Meeting Location: 111
Course Start: January 09, 2014
Class Number (formerly Course Control Number) (Non-1Ls): 49685
This is a highly interactive, skills-based course that is designed to teach students how to become effective negotiators, and how to effectively represent clients in both business transactions and dispute resolution settings. The class will be dynamic and consist of lecture, in-class demonstrations, simulated negotiations and other game theory exercises.
The course objectives include: familiarizing the student with various negotiation approaches and styles; enhancing communication skills with an emphasis on persuasion and relationship-building; understanding the stages of a negotiation and developing effective strategies for each stage; illuminating the psychological forces that affect decision-making; identifying cross-cultural and gender issues; understanding ethical responsibilities and requirements; and learning techniques to successfully conclude a negotiation with durable and enforceable agreements.
Class exercises will cover creating and claiming value, multi-party dynamics, client counseling, difficult tactics, and listening skills. The intensive nature of this class provides students with an opportunity to evaluate their own skills, experiment with new skills and techniques, work closely with one another, and receive individualized feedback from the professors.
Professors Jacobs-May and Westerfield will be team-teaching this class. Both are retired judges who serve as neutrals for JAMS, an international Alternative Dispute Resolution provider. Real life examples and experiences are woven into this course.
Due to the use of simulation exercises throughout the semester and the need to determine members of the class as soon as possible, the usual provisions of "Add/Drop" do not apply. All interested students, whether enrolled or on the wait list, should attend the first session at which time enrollment will be confirmed. Enrollment is limited to 20 students. If you have questions, please contact Jamie Jacobs-May at firstname.lastname@example.com.
As a skills-based course that relies on all students to participate in negotiations throughout the semester, attendance is mandatory. Excused absences are limited to medical or family emergencies.
Your grade will be determined as follows:
65%- Class participation (including attendance, preparation, participation in class discussions, exercises and simulations).
15%- Mid-term paper (5 pages) consisting of self-reflections and insights regarding negotiation skills.
20%- Final paper (10 pages) is an academic paper on any aspect of negotiation selected by the student, delving into the subject matter on a deeper level.
Jamie Jacobs-May and Rebecca Westerfield served as trial judges before becoming neturals at JAMS, the largest private ADR provider in the world. Collectively, they have handled thousands of mediations of all types including business/commercial, trade secret misappropriation, personal injury, real estate, construction defect, employment, family, and trusts. Their detailed biographies can be found at jamsadr.com.
This course satisfies the Experiential Requirement.

Boston University's Joe Jones
March 26, 2014
From Boston University Athletic Communications
Ben Jobe Award | Skip Prosser Award
BOSTON - After guiding the Boston University men's basketball team to its first conference regular season title in a decade, third-year head coach Joe Jones has been named a finalist for both the Ben Jobe "Coach of the Year" and Skip Prosser "Man of the Year" Award.
One of 20 finalists in 2013, Jones is now just among 15 men vying for the Ben Jobe Award, which is presented annually to the top minority coach in Division I men's basketball. Coach Jobe is an icon in the history of basketball at historically black colleges and universities. He is best known as the head coach of Southern University, a position he held for 12 seasons.
Jones is also a finalist for the Skip Prosser Award for the first time and joins a prestigious list of 15 men, including his mentor Jay Wright (Villanova) and Duke's Mike Krzyzewski. The Skip Prosser Award was established in 2008 to honor those who not only achieve success on the basketball court but who display moral integrity off of it as well. Prosser posted a career record of 291-146 in 14 seasons as a head coach.
This past season, Jones guided the Terriers to a 24-11 record, marking the second most wins in program history. BU went 15-3 in the Patriot League to capture the team's ninth-ever regular season title and advanced to the National Invitation Tournament (NIT) for the team's second consecutive postseason appearance following the 2013 CollegeInsider.com Postseason Tournament.
During the season, Jones became the first-ever coach at BU to claim two victories against the 61-year-old Atlantic Coast Conference when the Terriers won at Maryland (83-77) on Dec. 21 after topping Boston College (75-61) at Conte Forum in 2011.
Under Jones' guidance, BU averaged 71.2 ppg and finished the year shooting 45.2 percent from the field, the team's highest mark since 1992-93. Sophomore Maurice Watson Jr. set a school and Patriot League record with 248 assists in a season while also tallying 74 steals, second most in a season. Senior D.J. Irving finished his collegiate career ranked ninth in school history in scoring, while classmate Dom Morris became just the sixth Terrier in program history to reach 1,000 points and 700 rebounds.
On the defensive end, BU went 17-3 when holding opponents below 70 points and led a conference in turnover margin for the first time since 2005 at +1.91. Season highlights included holding fellow Patriot League member Navy to its lowest offensive output (32) since 1943 and limiting the league's top scoring offense (Lafayette) to just 54 points in a 91-54 rout. The margin of victory was the largest ever for a Patriot League quarterfinal game.
The 2014 award recipients will be announced at the CollegeInsider.com awards banquet on April 4 in Dallas, site of the men's NCAA Basketball Championship.

New trail and informational kiosks planned for Buffalo Lake
The Rural Planning and Parks Committee of the Marquette County Board has approved the creation of a walking path and kiosk at the Buffalo Lake boat landing on County Road C. The path will run along the lake on county property and continue up a small hill on the opposite side of the parking lot. The kiosk that is being planned will tell about the railroad that once ran from Packwaukee to Montello and about the Native Americans who once lived along the shores of the Fox River.
The project is in its beginning stages and Kathleen McGwin, a citizen member of the committee and who is working on the design of the kiosks, will also be soliciting donations to pay for the building of the historic informational kiosks. If you are interested in learning more, contact her at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Wisconsin WINS Program
The Five Counties for Tobacco Free Living and the state Tobacco Prevention and Control Program are continuing to work hard to keep tobacco products out of the hands of young people.
One of the tools used to prevent youth access to tobacco is the Wisconsin WINS (WI WINS) Program, which was launched in 2002 and is a statewide initiative. Wisconsin WINS is a science-based program to reduce tobacco sales to minors and uses positive reinforcement and education with tobacco retailers.
To learn more about the WI WINS Program check out the website at www.WIWINS.org.
The state Department of Health Services contracts with local partners to conduct investigations to establish retailer compliance with state laws governing tobacco sales. Education, media outreach and community education are also important components of the WI WINS Program. Marquette County Health Department and youth from our county have done twenty Compliance checks with three retailer's selling to our youth. We had an 85% compliance rate this year. We thank the retailers that didn't sell to our youth as this helps keep the tobacco products out of the hands of our youth!
Also available to tobacco vendors is the Smoke Check Program (www.SmokeCheck.org), which provides free, state-approved retailer training on tobacco laws. The online tool includes a study guide, a quiz and a certificate of completion. Employees will learn how not to sell tobacco to minors. The Smoke Check program can help retailers avoid fines and loss of license helping youth stay tobacco-free.
For more information on the activities of the Five Counties for Tobacco Free Living contact Anna Weber, PHN, 608-297-3135.

Designer Flips Her Own Baltimore Cape Cod
From Margaret Everton on August 31, 2010 in Baltimore
When it came to revamping her own 1950's Cape Cod in West Townson, Baltimore, interior designer Leslie Tunney had 15 years of professional experience to pull from. Following the mantra "less is more" and compiling elements that would suit her practical, modern-chic style, she created a home just perfect for her growing family. In keeping with the simplicity she craved, the first goal on Tunneys list was doing away with the formality of certain rooms in the existing structure and making them into spaces that her family could use every day. Among her list of conversions: turning a dining room into a home office, screened-in breezeway into a mudroom, and two-car garage into a family room. More space was created in the living room and dining room areas by getting rid of the existing wall partition and replacing it with slim columns. Several of the rooms decorative elements were gathered from different times and places, creating a hodgepodge of traditional and modern styles. In the transformed family room, Tunney played on the original barn door left in the space by adding under-window cabinetry and wooden planks beneath the ceiling. She even brings together all the colors found in the furniture pieces and accessories in a landscape painting by Eric Abrecht. The kitchen is home to an island designed by Tunney and Joe Leatherman, and is meant to pay homage to the service counter at Restoration Hardware. An open floor plan allows for a seamless transition between the kitchen and the dining room areas. In the master bedroom, Tunney decided to make a few sacrifices. Extra square footage was exchanged for a master bath, and several windows were taken out to allow space for the beds headboard. Quiet solitude became the theme after mixing old and new furniture pieces together and topping it all off with a painting from Baltimore artist Dean Alfonzo. With the interior of her home looking exactly as she hoped it would, Tunney is now turning to her home's landscape. Something tells me that when it comes to a decorators own house, the work is never done.

D'Lisa Kelley, a 24-year old pregnant mother, went missing on March 7, after leaving her grandmother's house to attend her best friends' wake. Her body was found this morning, roughly 2 miles from where she was last seen, the victim of an apparent homicide.
Around 6:45 pm on March 7, D'Lisa's sister received a call, which was clearly an accidental dial. When she answered, she heard D'Lisa screaming "Stop! Stop" Get off of me!" She then heard a man, saying "Shut up! Stop screaming! You want to be hardheaded!" The phone then disconnected, but she received a text message later that a man had confused her with someone else. At this point, her sister was likely freaking out, but received no further communication from D'Lisa. When she failed to show up for her best friend's funeral on March 8, her family reported her missing.
Though her cause of death has not yet been released, it is clear that she was murdered. Who is responsible for the death of this young woman? The fact that she was being attacked when someone last heard her is very concerning. Was D'Lisa Kelley the victim of a random crime? Hopefully these questions will soon be answered and justice will be served.

Today's innovation is becoming increasingly better and eye-opening. We speak often of it in products or services. Fundamentally, all industries are reflective of new technology. Winners and losers can be quite defined by those applying them vs. those not. However, as incredible the technology, the usage and profitability still centers on people. And thus, people remain the relevant factor. As such, we as consumers want good services, products with practicality to our lives, lasting value, low costs, and dealings with reputable companies.
Of course, the term reputable companies, in this new day and time, may take on a more challenging perspective and perception. Privacy would no doubt rank high on the list, of two parties doing legitimate business; having contractual arrangements that are winning scenarios, for all involved, is another. This may well bring us to the watering hole of 'big data.' Yet, many an entity that collects and sells customer data, from usage, at least in appearance, does not seem to share the wealth directly. After all, we do not receive a benefit statement, noting the sale of our info, and what it monetarily means to us. Furthermore, state or federal law does not currently call for the mandate of compensation, when an entity, we did business with, passes that activity onto others. For this silence, can we say it's about balancing what's good for society, vs. the individual; or, simply too complicated for parsing by politicians; whom in terms of thinking, from the mindset of voters, seem to be confused, on whether their mission is governance for re-election or serving all constituents.
Perhaps, there's a fairness to say: we are reminded, as buyers, daily, thru dealings with retailers, of an importance, for their standing behind representations, actual products, and promotions. And given, the growing notion, of the connected car, auto manufacturers and dealerships, in quality, selling, and repairing, will take on some intriguing angles. While merely a cog in a vast ocean, a key asset and investment to consumers, nonetheless. The connected home is another, upcoming area. In taking a moment to look historically, producers and sellers, for a true longer-term approach, in building customer relationships, have the upfront chance, to pro-actively establish, a sincere truth and dealing standardization, i.e. – 'Bill of Rights,' in the modern age. For failure, and usually a reflection of horrific outcomes, between buyers and sellers, especially possible in this new age of innovations, social media reactions, and some always existing - not so honorable - folks in society, will likely result in very strict laws. Even more so, lawmakers owe an obligation to act now and give real biting strength to consumer protection laws, for as buyers will need them.
The world's first major Internet Bill of rights is finally law. Brazilian president Dilma Rousseff signed ….. Rousseff praised the bill as a "fundamental step to guarantee freedom, privacy, and respect for Internet users' rights." http://www.dailydot.com/politics/marco-civil-internet-bill-of-rights-brazil-rousseff/
"[A] bill of rights is what the people are entitled to against every government on earth, general or particular, and what no just government should refuse."

Under men's head coach Dann Nelson the Salukis have earned the ITA team honor five consecutive seasons and six (2007, 2009-13) of his eight years at SIU (2006-present).
Aug. 1, 2013
By Tyler Wooten
SKILLMAN, N.J. -- Saluki men's and women's tennis both earned the All-Academic team distinction from the Intercollegiate Tennis Association, as well as a total eight student-athletes who were named ITA Scholar-Athletes.
The ITA All-Academic Team award is open to any ITA program that has a cumulative team grade point average of 3.20 or above (on a 4.00 scale). In order to earn ITA Scholar-Athlete status a player must be a varsity letter winner, have a grade point average of at least 3.50 (on a 4.00 scale) for the current academic year and have been enrolled at their present school for at least 2 semesters (including freshman through senior year).
This is the fifth consecutive team honor for the Saluki men under head coach Dann Nelson, who has earned the ITA All-Academic team distinction six (2007, 2009-13) of his eight seasons at SIU (2006-present).
All three Saluki men named to the ITA Scholar-Athlete team had earned the honor before. Senior Orhan Spahic (four year honoree, 2010-13) and juniors Jorge Cavero (two years, 2012-13) and Rafael Cuadrillero (three years, 2011-13) all repeated as ITA Scholar-Athletes. Under Nelson, the Saluki men have never had fewer than three student-athletes named to the team.
"I am extremely proud of our team and the way they take care of business in the classroom," Nelson said. "We set a goal each year to be eligible for this award and for the last five years in a row we have reached our goal. We have a special group of guys who are excellent students, talented tennis players and above all, amazing people with great character."
The Saluki women -- who are coming off a superb 19-5 dual-match record in 2013 -- garnered the team honor for a fourth consecutive season. In those four seasons under head coach Audra Anderson, the Saluki women have placed at least three Scholar-Athletes on the team and as many as six.
The 2013 season was no different, as five student-athletes of Anderson's group made the team -- four of whom were repeat honorees. Seniors Melanie Delsart (four year honoree, 2010-13), Anita Lee (three years, 2011-13) and Korey Love (one year, 2013), and juniors Gisela Cairo Baza (two years 2012-13) and Siera Hasler (two years, 2012-13) represented the Saluki women.
"We have a very hard working and diligent group of students on our team," Anderson said."They are very conscious of their team and their team GPA. I really applaud their efforts for being great student-athletes during a year where they really succeeded on the court as well."
