Just when most locals probably thought that there have been more than enough discussions and surveys about the Canberra's new light rail (or trams), the ACT Government has launched another consultation on the topic.

Paid parking across Canberra is not a new thing. Most parking lots have been user pays for some time now with the Parliamentary Triangle having paid parking introduced on October 1 this year.

Government News brings word that Parliament House is trying to figure out how to be more appealing to the tourists.
Quite possibly an unintended consequence of the Museum of Australian Democracy opening is a pull on the time of the politically minded tourist.

The Old Believers continue with the old two-finger form. The significance of the two fingers was to emphasize the humanity and divinity of Christ. Then the three-finger change came along with the new ICXC interpretation, and I also think [correct me if I'm wrong, someone] the three fingers symbolize the Trinity.
Yes, pretty silly. In the same vein of how to make the sign of the cross.
When you say that it's "In the same vein of how to make the sign of the cross" are you implying that it doesn't matter how we sign ourselves?
Cause if you are, St. John Chrysostom would not agree with you.

Also, whenever I create a category under my posts, it also appears in the Custom Post Type Category. Is there anyway I can make all the new categories by exclusive to that certain custom post and the normal posts?

Experimental sound
Actually, the mono gives it flavor that you don't hear anymore in music. It also shows skill when you can master a track with no stereo seperation and still hear the majority of the instruments. Good one, IMO.
Thanx alot man, that warmed! :)
Rated 4 / 5 stars
Could become something really good!
Even at this state it's really good, a remastering could make it super :)
Thanx! Yeah, it'd be fun to remix it, though it's timeconsuming... I'd probably end up making a whole new version :)
Rated 3.5 / 5 stars
Pretty nice tune. Nice transitioning and pretty catchy. I think it's pretty good although a bit more refining would make it much grander! Nice work.

North Nikiski, Alaska
April, 2015
I am surrounded by wonderful, fun loving friends and relatives.
This is a recent escapade with Dolores, my Alaska friend of 40 years.
Dolores and I are scheduled to have cataracts removed this month by different Doctors. We were comparing and when it came time for Dolores to have one eye done last week, I volunteered to take her to her surgery. She is to have the other eye done next week - all done in Soldotna at the hospital. Mine will be done in Anchorage.
Year 1967
North Kenai, now Nikiski, Alaska
Since the Beluga's are showing up I thought this would be an appropriate story..
I arrived in Alaska in 1967 with three little kids and three suit cases. It was my first ride on an airplane and about my first time out of the State of Colorado.
Growing up on the farm was most exciting around Spring and Easter. Trees were leafing out, some of Mom's flowers were peeking through and the grass was getting green. If the Easter was a little later in the month, the lilac tree was getting ready to bud. Dad had plans for all his crops or had already plowed and planted some. He was very busy in the Spring. We were outdoors every chance we got, exploring what was left of winter and what was growing up through the ground.

I have a small book that my grandson Michael Jordan gave me, titled, "Grandma, Tell me your Memories." He gave it me the year my great granddaughter, Cecile was born. It has a small page for every day of the year with a question at the top. I started filling it in and have through the years, filled out lots pages. When I am stuck with an idea for an article - I refer to this precious little book. Thank You Michael and Happy Birthday!

Bob has seen to it that we have a large United State of America flag and the Alaskan flag, flying in our yard for the 26 years we have lived here on the lake. They get tattered and he replaces them. He keeps an extra in his shop.
On a farm in Northern Colorado
Our family was the only Irish family in a mostly German-Russian community. Mom drilled into our heads and warned us to be good by saying "Now remember, you are Irish and don't do anything to make your dad ashamed of you!" This simple statement kept me and my siblings out of a lot of trouble! And if we did not behave to her standards, she would shame us by saying "What would your dad think?"

Our Mother complied a genealogy-heritage type book that has wonderful history and pictures of our life on the farm. Some pages have the past history of her family and Dads. She has years and dates that I rely on almost every week when I write an article for this paper. I appreciate her tiny hand writing and the years and dates that she remembered. It is like a time-lock of our past and seems most sad, as a few years latter she developed Alzheimer's.

I do not remember my big-little sister, Virginia Ruth being born in August of 1940- as I was only 3 1/2 years old and my brother John Jr. was 2 1/2 yrs old. But I do remember little-little sister, Elaine Mary and little-little brother, James David and the day they were born.
I was 8 years old and my birthday is in April. My little-little sister Elaine Mary was born in April also. I was so happy!

READ MEAT – Mark Levin's fantastic rant: "I am sick and tired of my country being attacked from within!"
Spurred by a caller trying to argue that America did something horrifically wrong in Iraq, Mark Levin goes on an awesome rant against people attacking this country from within, whether it be from "left-wing creeps" who hate this country or from pathetic Republicans who are too weak and foolish to bother defending it. In fact, Levin says the central question is this: "Is there nobody left in public office who will defend our way of life?" And you can hear that question echoed throughout his rant.
One of the more hot spots of his rant was when he slammed Obama today for trying to shame people into supporting 'gun control' legislation:
Obama today going on and on about gun control telling us it's time to move on, we've waited long enough. Who the hell does he think he is? Is he more powerful than the Constitution itself? Is that what we've become, ladies and gentlemen? That 2nd amendment is there to protect us from him! That 2nd amendment is there to protect us from Dianne Feinstein! That 2nd amendment is there to protect us from the whole damn bunch of these bastards! That's why that 2nd amendment is there! And all the rest of them! And they demand that we surrender to them.
Well where does it end? It doesn't end of we don't speak up!

I'm doing a new site for a customer. I set up a few basic pages with SSI just to get things going, but I want to use WP.
The site is on BlueHost and they have a tool to install WP. I'd like to install WP in my root directory. I'm wondering, can I put it in there and still keep my index.shtml as the home page until I'm ready to switch to the WP content?
I'm thinking I can prep the WP content while the index.shtml page is the home page and when I'm ready, I can just remove the index.shtml file and then WP would load as the home page.
Should that work?

text: AeroVironment Content on this page requires a newer version of Adobe Flash Player. My first earnings short-squeeze trade idea today is aerospace and defense player AeroVironment ( AVAV), which is set to report results on Wednesday after the market close. This company engages in the design, development, production, support and operation of unmanned aircraft systems and efficient energy systems for various industries and governmental agencies. Wall Street analysts, on average, expect AeroVironment to report revenue of $62.54 million on a loss of 3 cents per share. AeroVironment has been hammered by the bears so far in 2012, with shares down by over 23%. >>Top 5 Bargain Stocks in the S&P 500 The current short interest as a percentage of the float for AeroVironment stands at 6.1%. That means that out of the 19.01 million shares in the tradable float, 1.16 million shares are sold short by the bears. This is a decent short interest on a stock with a very low tradable float. If the bulls hear the news they're looking for, then AVAV could short-squeeze big post-earnings. From a technical perspective, AVAV is currently trading below both its 50-day and 200-day moving averages, which is bearish. This stock has dropped sharply from its June high of $27.82 to its recent low of $21.97 a share. During that slide, shares of AVAV made lower highs and lower lows, which is bearish technical price action. After that drop, shares of AVAV have started to trend sideways between $23 and $24.88 a share. A move outside of that sideways trading pattern post-earnings will likely setup the next major trend for AVAV. If you're bullish on AVAV, then I would wait until after its report and look for long-biased trades if this stock can manage to break out above some near-term overhead resistance at $24.88 a share with high volume. Look for volume on that move that registers near or above its three-month average volume of 192,288 shares. If we get that action, then AVAV will have a great chance of re-testing or possibly taking out its next major overhead resistance levels at $26.48 to $27.82 a share post-earnings. I would simply avoid AVAV or look for short-biased trades if after earnings it fails to trigger that breakout, and then drops below some near-term support at $23.02 a share with heavy volume. If we get that move, then AVAV will setup to re-test and possibly take out its next major support areas at $21.97 to $21.14 a share. Keep in mind that any move below $21.14 should be considered bearish price action since it will push AVAV into new 52-week low territory. Prev 1 of 6 Next

E.D. White's bid for 3A crown comes up short
Published: Saturday, March 17, 2007 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, March 17, 2007 at 2:01 a.m.
LAFAYETTE -- This time there would be no comeback for Thibodauxs E.D. White Catholic High.
Trailing Edna Karr 50-46 in the Class 3A state championship game, Cardinals guard Bryson Triggs sank a 3-pointer to cut their deficit to 50-49 with 18 seconds remaining.
E.D. White fouled Karrs Michael Butler immediately, but Butler made both free throws to extend the Cougars lead to 52-49. Triggs took the inbounds pass but was called for travelling, forcing the Cardinals to foul again. Darnell Williams made two free throws for Karr, and Triggs scored the games final basket as the Cardinals historic season ended in a 54-51 loss in the Cajundome.
"Im very proud of my team, but I dont think we played one of our best ballgames. We did battle back, but we had some crucial mistakes, and you cant do that when you play a team as good as Karr," E.D. White coach Jonathan Keife said. "For us to be down and have them in control of the game, we were able to battle back and take the lead. We did spread the floor, but we had some crucial mistakes, and they hit that big 3-pointer."
The Cardinals (28-8) trailed 28-22 to start the third quarter. Karr (32-10) took a 36-28 lead after Darius Alexander scored at the 3:19 mark. However, the Cardinals began to chip away at the lead, and after Brett Ledet scored at the 1:43 mark, E.D. White trailed 38-35. Karr closed out the quarter with a basket by Howard Trice and a 3-pointer by Ian Charles to take a 43-37 lead into the fourth quarter.
E.D. White scored the first nine points of the fourth quarter and took a 46-43 lead after Matt Hymels layup with 3:37 left.
However, Karr answered with a 3-pointer by Alvin Bailey, followed by a free throw by Williams, to put the Cougars ahead 47-46 with 2:14 left.
Karr took its 50-46 lead after Kedrik Hogans converted a 3-point play with 1:13 left. Then Triggs would hit the 3-pointer to make it a one-point game, however, the Cougars made their free throws down the stretch to hold on for the win.
Hogans was selected the games outstanding player after finishing with 11 points, nine rebounds and four blocks.
"Im proud of my guys an we followed our game plan and held Ben (Martin) to 9 points and that was a key," Karr coach William Robinson said. "Our offense wasnt pretty, but we were able to hit some jump. But, at crunch time we were poised and we did what we had to do."
Karr held a 28-22 halftime mostly because it was 4-of-10 from 3-point range.
The Cardinals took an 8-4 lead in the first quarter after Brian Fakier made two free throws at the 4:25 mark. Karr answered with a 3-pointer from Bailey and a basket by Ian Charles for a 9-8 lead with 3:43 left.
After Karr went up 11-8, E.D. White responded with a basket by Cory Adams and a three-point play by Fakier to retake the lead, 13-11.
Martin scored with 56 seconds remaining to put the Cardinals up 15-14, but Bailey knocked down another 3-pointer for a 17-15 Karr lead to end the first period.
A 6-2 spurt at start of the second quarter gave Karr a 23-17 lead with 5:40 left. The Cardinals made it a 23-21 score by making 4-of-6 from the free-throw line, but Butler scored and Williams knocked down a 3-pointer with 34 seconds on the clock for a 28-21 lead.
Triggs ended the first half scoring with a free throw for the 6-point difference to start the third quarter.
Fakier led the Cardinals with 12 points with Triggs and Ledet each finished with 11.
Williams scored 10 points for the Cougars.

Kukla's Korner Hockey
Does Mark Howe Belong In The Hall

Comments (0)
The Hockey Hall of Fame inductions are just a few days away, which means it's time to debate and argue over those who should be in the Hall but are not. We'll make a case for Mark Howe.... His career NHL statistics are 197 goals and 545 assists for 742 points in 929 games. His points-per-game average is better than the numbers for two of his contemporaries, Larry Murphy and Borje Salming, both of whom are in the Hall.more

MOBILE, Ala. (AP) - Bond has been set at $125,000 for a Citronelle man charged with three counts of murder and leaving the scene of an accident that killed two brothers and a teenager.
Michael Andrew Loper is accused of causing a wreck by bumping a car that was carrying 18-year-old Mary Allyson Baker of Mobile, and
two Irvington brothers, 17-year-old Brian Matthew "Matt" Willis Jr., and 11-year-old Brandon Christopher Willis.
At Monday's bond hearing, Mobile County prosecutors say Loper was chasing a third car and the Baker vehicle was between them when
he bumped it to get to the other car. Baker's car flipped and crashed into a tree.
Prosecutors say Loper was traveling an estimated 100 mph. He was arrested Saturday, the day after the crash along U.S. 45 in north Mobile County.

BlackBerry 10 is now being tested by over 50 carriers, Research In Motion (RIMM +4.7%) CEO Thorsten Heins disclosed in an e-mailed statement. That puts RIM on track to launch BB10 devices in early Q1 - Jefferies claimed earlier this month the first devices won't arrive until March. Either way, the OS faces an uphill battle in light of Android and iOS' hegemony in developed markets, and it will get tougher if Windows Phone 8 fares well this holiday season.

Easier Than You Think ...because life doesn't have to be so hardThe Small Changes That Add Up to a World of Difference
By Richard Carlson
HarperCollins Publishers, Inc.Copyright © 2006 Richard Carlson
All right reserved.
Chapter One
A Penny For Your Thoughts
When my daughter Kenna was a little girl, she would occasionally wake up in the morning and say to me, "Daddy, this is so great, I get another one of these!" Have you heard the expression "Out of the mouths of babes"? The excitement in my daughter's voice suggested that she was thrilled to have been given yet another day to do with what she would. Even at a tender, young age, she somehow knew that she had the choice to make each day special.
Our thoughts are the most powerful tools we have been given during this lifetime. We can use them, as Kenna did, to create joy, anticipation, excitement, fun, happiness, and peace.
Of course, we can just as easily allow our thoughts to be self-destructive weapons. We can wake up in the morning with a list of complaints as long as the front page of the newspaper. And whichever road we take--positive or negative--our choice is likely to have little if anything to do with how "good" our life really is on the "outside."
Be that as it may, our well-being depends on how we process our lives on the inside--on our thinking. What do we think? When do we think? How much significance do we give to our thinking? And most important, do we remember that we are the ones who are doing thethinking to begin with?
If you can keep in mind the reality that you control your own thoughts and nothing else, you will be in pretty good shape. Whenever negativity creeps into your mind (which it will do on a regular basis), remember two things: You are the one who is creating the negativity with your own thinking. But more important, you have the power to stop it.
Our thoughts have the power, if left to their own devices, to take us to either great heights or miserable depths. This is why it is so important to remember that we are the ones in control. We can follow our thoughts as they arise, or we can change or drop them. We alone have the choice.
I encourage you to start paying attention to the thoughts that are taking up space in your mind. Are they leading you places you want to be going? Or are they encouraging you to be unhappy, self-defeating, angry, or frustrated?
If you are having any of these feelings, or any other feeling that you wish would go away, the first place to look is not outside yourself. Instead, try to recognize what's going on inside your own mind. Once you recognize your negative thought patterns, you have the power to stop them. The change is just that simple.
Step forward and change your thoughts and you'll improve the way you feel. It's a slight shift from believing the world is going to somehow come around to your way of thinking to realizing that you are the one who must change the way you think. Bingo. What could be simpler?
Here's a case in point. Joseph was a thirty-fiveyear-old lab assistant who had spent most of his adult life complaining about his job and resenting everyone around him. He woke up bitter in the morning and remained that way until he went to bed. From the outside, it appeared that he had good friends, a nice apartment, and a solid job. But to hear him you would think that everything in his life was miserable.
One of his fed-up coworkers introduced Joseph to the idea that it was his own thinking, not the world, that was responsible for the endless resentment he was feeling. The coworker encouraged him to stop complaining and start paying attention to the harmful noise going on within his own mind.
Much to the relief and delight of his family, friends, and colleagues, Joseph did just that. When he was home alone, he noticed that his negative thoughts rarely let up. For the first time in his life, he was curious about his own mind. He asked himself the following questions: "Could it be possible that my own thoughts have something to do with the way I am?" And then, "Can I stop this way of thinking?" He soon learned that the answers to both were yes. And from that day forward, Joseph had much less to complain about.

I'm afraid that once I tasted this salad, all I wanted to do was add things to it. Firstly, I added a drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil - all that vinegar and no oil to balance it. Then, I sprinkled some chopped herbs over it. Picked some basil and oregano from the garden and added that. On its own, it was just too plain, but something you can work off and add to.

HOUSTON -- The Houston Texans released veteran linebacker
Rosevelt Colvin and 20 other players Friday, the day before NFL
teams must set their 53-man rosters.
The Texans signed Colvin in June after he was released by the New
England Patriots. They had hoped he could be a situational pass rusher, but
decided he wasn't valuable enough to take up a roster spot.
"The bottom line was to have a player on your team to just play
nickel, he would have to be special," coach Gary Kubiak said. "We
had to sit there and weigh him against players who could play
special teams and do some other things for our team."
Colvin had recovered from a foot injury that kept him out of the
last five games and the playoffs last season. However, he struggled
since arriving in Houston and wasn't anywhere close to becoming the
pass rushing threat opposite Mario Williams the Texans were looking
Colvin had 52½ sacks in nine seasons in Chicago and New England.
Houston has one more cut to make and is evaluating running back
Chris Brown to see if he is healthy enough to contribute this
season. Brown, who was signed this offseason, has been struggling
with back problems since the start of training camp.
Also released Friday was veteran safety Glenn Earl, who started
15 games in 2006 but missed all of last season with a fractured
foot, and defensive tackle Anthony Maddox, who spent the past two
seasons with the team.
Other players released were fullback Jon Abbate, quarterbacks
Shane Boyd and Alex Brink, linebackers Kevis Coley and Ben Moffitt,
center Greg Eslinger, cornerbacks Jamar Fletcher, Derrick Roberson
and Dexter Wynn, receivers Darnell Jenkins, LeRon McCoy and Mark
Simmons, tight end Ryan Krause, defensive linemen Gabe Long and
Jesse Nading, running back Marcel Shipp and tackle Torrin Tucker.
The AFC champion New England Patriots released four players, a
day after wrapping up their first winless preseason since 1990 with
a 19-14 loss to the New York Giants.
The cuts of tackle Steve Fifita, offensive lineman Jimmy Martin,
cornerback Jeff Shoate and tight end Jonathan Stupar leave New
England with 71 players before Saturday's deadline. Teams also keep
eight-player practice squads, but those players have to clear
waivers first.
"We have watched [Thursday's] game and moved on pretty quickly
to meetings on roster decisions, personnel options and things like
that," coach Bill Belichick said in a Friday conference call. "It
was a short night, but we just have to push through it here and
figure out our final roster decisions."

How to filter strings that start as numbers or symbols to an NSArray with NSPredicate.
array = {"John", "Mary", "Aroldo", "1John", "+Mary"}
to newArray = {"1John," "+Mary"}
We started with Q&A. Technical documentation is next, and we need your help.
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced developer, you can contribute.
How to filter strings that start as numbers or symbols to an NSArray with NSPredicate.
Here are 4 ways to do it. All of the examples make use of negated character classes. Your request was to filter out numbers and symbols, but you can also say that you want to filter out words that start with a nonalphabetic character.
It doesn't use a NSPredicate, but it does the job
You might want to double check the return condition in the block, as I didn't test it.
You can use a predicate with a regular expression to accomplish what you are after.
In general, the regex pattern you are looking for is
To make the construct clearer, you can make a string of the actual chars you want to match, a string with the regular expression pattern and finally, the predicate.
If you are very comfortable with regular expressions and predicates, you can of course tighten it all up to a single line of code.

Peace announces 2011 ValedictorianBy on April 20, 2011 3:54 pm
When Erin Banks graduated from college a semester early last December, she thought her work at Peace was done. This week, she got one final assignment from Provost Debbie Cottrell – to give a speech at Commencement in May.
Banks, an English major from Morehead City, N.C., was named the Valedictorian for 2011 on Monday after earning a perfect 4.0 GPA at Peace.
"I was excited," Banks said. "It really is a great honor."
With her course work done at Peace, Banks wasn't sure why Cottrell needed to meet with her Monday but said she was pleasantly surprised with the news.
"I was thinking, 'What did I do? I don't think she can take my diploma back,'" Banks joked. "But I was very excited about it."
It wasn't always Banks' goal to be valedictorian. In fact, her success at Peace started out as nervousness about college. Not sure how much effort her coursework would require, Banks dedicated herself to trying her best during her freshman year. After earning a 4.0 for her first semester, she thought she'd try to keep it going.
"It just became a challenge for myself," Banks said.
Banks was homeschooled through high school and said her strong work ethic came from her parents, Rev. David and Jerri Banks. She also said piano instructor Dr. Margaret Evans pushed her to pursue excellence when she was younger.
"She had a quote by Aristotle on the bulletin board outside of her door and it said 'We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence therefore is not an act but a habit,'" Banks remembered. "That's really the way she treated music and everything. Between her instilling that in me in piano and my mom and dad really instilling that in me in my other studies … that really built my work ethic."
The small class sizes and sense of community at Peace also helped Banks get the best out of her college experience. She mentioned how often the intimate classroom experience at Peace fostered better discussions in classes like Images of Women and Music Theory — two of her favorites.
"I like that about Peace — the small classroom sizes, the fact that people know each other," Banks said. "People are a lot more apt to speak up when you have good discussions and that's what makes going to class fun."
Banks hopes to be a college English professor some day but is planning on working for at least a year before applying to graduate programs. She also mentioned being interested in teaching English at the high school level.
"I'm not sure where (I'll apply for grad school)," Banks said. "Maybe stay in the area. Maybe look at Chapel Hill or Duke since they offer a doctoral program. But for now I'll probably keep the part-time jobs I have and look for a full-time one I might like."
Banks also wanted to thank her extended family and friends for their support during her college career.
"If it wasn't for them I would not have made it to this point," Banks said.

We South Africans have become accustomed to seeing date marks – those "use by" and "best before" dates on food, but it's only in the past month that they've become a legal requirement.
The new food labelling regulations, which finally came into force on March 1, make it compulsory for food manufacturers to put date stamps on food, with the exception of a few items, such as honey; unprocessed, unpacked meat and fresh produce; vinegar and sweets.
Foods that have to be chilled; cooked products, pre-packed, prepared vegetables and fruit; juices with a limited shelf life – in fact, any food that could lead to food poisoning if not stored properly – must carry a use-by date.
And it's illegal to offer for sale, relabel or donate any food that is past its use-by date.
Other foods – those with a longer shelf life – must carry "best-before" dates and while it's not an offence to continue to offer such food for sale, it's clearly not best practice to leave food that's past its prime on the shelf.
It is an offence to remove or alter any date mark – be it a use-by date or a best-before date. This is significant because while it's been morally wrong to fiddle with these date stamps in the past, now it's illegal.
And so to this week's case.
Jacqui Cramb regularly shops at the Food Lover's Market branch in Rinaldo Road, Glen Anil, Durban.
When visiting the store about a month ago, she checked the date marks on a few packs of Sasko muffin mix and noticed that they had expired, as had the entire batch of that variant.
She alerted the manager, who apologised and instructed an employee to remove the expired stock from the shelf.
When Cramb returned to the store just more than a week ago, she saw what she presumed was fresh stock of Sasko's bran muffin mix, but she was in for a shock when she went to check the dates. There were none.
"Stock of the other variants of the same product had current date marks, so naturally I smelt a rat," Cramb says.
"I suspected that someone had somehow wiped off the expired dates and put the same stock back on the shelf."
Cramb reported her experience to Consumer Watch, and I took up the case with Food Lover's Market's head office.
Responding, the group's Devon Currie said the store manager at that branch had issued instructions that the stock in question be returned to the supplier, as was normal practice.
But the store's receiving manager allegedly instructed a merchandiser to wipe the dates off the expired packs and pack them back on the shelves instead.
This while the store manager was away at the group's annual conference.
That receiving manager is currently on leave and, according to Currie, will face a disciplinary charge of sabotage on his return, along with the merchandiser.
Currie told Consumer Watch that a full inquiry would be conducted.
Food Lover's Market KZN regional manager Leonel Luizinho said the incident, while isolated, was hugely regretted by the company.
He said the company had not only inspected the rest of the stock in that store to ensure no other dates had been tampered with – they hadn't – but also intended to retrain all staff and introduce more stringent control measures to ensure that there wasn't a repeat incident.

Perfecting the Process of Process Improvement
By Melissa Centurio Lopes on Jul 19, 2016
by Mike Metcalf, Director, Services Strategy, Oracle
Efficiency drives have elevated process improvement to the top of corporate agendas. But, many companies fail to recognize that process improvement is itself a process—and it's probably the one you should focus on perfecting first.
Process improvement (PI) is a broad concept, and different companies approach it in very different ways. Some look for the most obvious improvements and make them first. Others dig deep into their processes and spend significant time assessing where the biggest issues may lie.
There's no single place to begin, but your process improvement choices should always be directed and guided by your organization's strategic goals. For example, if risk management is a strategic goal, then focus on initiatives that align to that, such as regulatory management, reputation management, and operational-risk management. And just like any other process in your business, there are best practices for how process improvement should be conducted.
Best practice #1: Gather and evaluate everybody's ideas
Because executives have a broad overview of the organization, it's easy to think they might be the best people to identify processes in need of improvement. While that's true to some extent, it's also extremely important that you gauge the opinions of the people closest to the processes—the employees contributing to them, their line managers, and any external stakeholders that engage with them. If you want to improve customer loyalty, you'll want to involve employees from sales, service, and contact center teams who have direct contact with customers and in their day-to-day jobs and may have good insight into what's working and what's not.
Gathering, evaluating, and managing ideas from that many sources can be a challenge in itself, so it's a good idea to leverage a project management platform that can provide an overview of every potential process improvement project in your pipeline.
Best practice #2: Keep all your efforts visible to everyone
Process improvement is an ongoing initiative at most organizations. At any given moment, your business can be progressing with many distinct process improvement projects—each being handled by different teams with different objectives.
With so much going on, it's easy to lose track of a specific project, or to let one drift away from its original objectives. Visibility is the key to maintaining control over it all and ensuring everyone stays aligned to your organization's strategic goals. It helps to keeps process improvement projects moving efficiently; supports synergy between projects and identification of best practices; illuminates potential conflicts; and improves overall collaboration. With complete visibility of your process improvement project portfolio, you can also retain executive buy-in by clearly demonstrating what's happening, where it's happening, and why.
Best practice #3: Understand what makes change projects unique
Perhaps the most significant difference between traditional projects and a PI projects is that PI projects typically cross every boundary within the organization. They extend vertically down through the organizational management structure, from the CEO to the part-time employee, horizontally across all departments from purchasing and product development, to sales and marketing, and beyond the internal organizational boundaries to stakeholders, such as customers and vendors.
The second most significant difference is that PI projects are generally in the "spotlight" and are highly visible to management and senior executives. If the project is unsuccessful (fails to deliver the anticipated results), the damage to the business can be significant, and the responsibility for the damage can fall on the project manager.
In addition, while most traditional projects have a well-defined beginning and end, PI initiatives include ongoing monitoring, measurement, and assessment that extend long after a new process has been introduced—requiring the ongoing involvement of the continuous improvement team.
With PPM solutions, metrics from individual projects can feed up into strategic themes and give an up-to-date picture of where they are headed. Users can drill down to see which projects are not performing as expected based on predetermined success factors.
Achieving process excellence is a journey
Process improvement is a journey. Trial and error might get you where you want to be eventually, but at a significant price in terms of financial and time investment. If you want to improve business processes in the most intelligent, efficient, and strategic way possible, it's important to find tools that can grow with you.
From visibility and idea evaluation, to collaboration and post-improvement analysis, the right enterprise project portfolio management (EPPM) platform can give you a single source of truth for all your process improvement efforts, and help you track your progress towards process excellence.
If you're planning your journey to process excellence and want to find more about the tech that can help, read our best practice guide at https://go.oracle.com/LP=29197 today and get more expert advice to help you make sure every step you take is the right one.

This riad exceeded all expectations. The room was beautiful and the open terrace overlooked the city, the walls of the Baddi palace and a row of storks on their nests. It was near enough to walk to the main square in ten mins but far enough away from the central madness and the very touristy hotels nearer the centre. The staff were very helpful (best for you if you do speak French). A tip to find it is that its location is just through the gate where the Baddi palace and the first alley way on the left (if the palace is behind you) and then first right and it is on your right. One other tip is to bring earplugs because sound tends to travel upwards from the central courtyards of the riad and also the early morning call to prayer will wake you earlier than you may want otherwise. We had a really fantastic stay.
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):
- Our Riad: Located in the Touareg district, in the medina Marrakech easy access with parking, close to the El Badia Palace, Bahia Palace and Royal Palace, 10 minutes from the famous Jemaa El Fna.

Need hat ideas
I'm looking for a hat pattern. I want one that's a very loose hat. Snug around the brim, but loose fitting and kind of floppy. I want the brim to fit over my ears, but leave the front of my hair visible, then to be big enough to either tuck hair into in the back, or let it just be floppy.
I'm sure this was a terrible verbal description, but I'm looking for suggestions. TIA!
I'm making this one. Scroll down to the Pallisel hat.
I have had some problems with it so far, but I'm using different yarn so that is to be expected. She also just fixed an error in the pattern. Hope mine looks as nice as her does!
Wow, Candice, that is totally what I had in mind! TY!
What would be a really light-weight, not hot, yarn to use for a floppy hat?
Hmmm... maybe a bamboo or bamboo blend? Bamboo tends to be very drapey. The top part of the hat is in linen stitch which makes for a firm fabric, so knit that part on needles bigger than you would normally use. I used smaller needles on the ribbing than I am on the linen stitch.
Or a linen or hemp blend. Both of those would become nice soft fabrics with washing.
That hat is cute..stick to the hat. :teehee:
There are slouchy berets, like this one - http://kellymaher.wordpress.com/2007...beret-pattern/ - only without the pompom...
Ooh, Sue, I like that too. I'd make it just a little bigger. I think I'm going to use some blue Caron's that's in my stash.
LOL, Jan. I saw that red thing too and thought, WTH is Candi thinking! :D
I think this is a nice pattern, thanks for sharing
i love that hat thanks jan
