Eric Rowe is still kicking himself over a minor mistake he made 12 weeks ago. It was just the second NFL game he had appeared in on defense, and the first time he played more than 15 defensive snaps.
With just 26 seconds left in the Week 4 matchup, Kirk Cousins connected with Pierre Garçon to give Washington the 23-20 victory over Philadelphia. Nolan Carroll was the defensive back covering Garçon, but Rowe wasn't far away.
"I have better technique now, but I could've had a lot better eyes," Rowe said. "My eyes were all over the place, especially that last play where Pierre Garçon scored in the red zone. I could've jumped it earlier.
"I should've kept them on the receiver instead of in the backfield. When you look in the backfield and your total focus isn't on the receiver, you'll be late in reacting." Read more »

Public safety agencies from across the region gathered in the name of teamwork on area waterways.
The goal of the meeting hosted by the Sacramento Metro Fire Department was for the different agencies to become more familiar with each other.
Agencies from Sacramento and Yolo counties that operate boats either for rescue or patrol met at Discovery Park. They say if they need to work together on a rescue they want to be best prepared to do that.
"We can call on each other for assistance on the waterways," said Sacramento Metro Fire Battalion Chief Mark Repetto. "It's good to know different types of communication, how to communicate with them, what resources they have, what capabilities they have and what they can provide to help mitigate the emergency."
Repetto said this is the first time an event like this has been held in recent years.

23 eerie parallels between Xbox 360 and the Sega Dreamcast.
by Sam Kennedy 11.04.2005
Ever since the first details of the Xbox 360 hit the web, gamers have drawn comparisons to Sega's ill-fated (yet still highly regarded) Dreamcast console. There are the obvious examples - the timing of the launches or the color of the hardware - but then there are a lot of not so obvious ones, too. As part of our Xbox 360 countdown, we've put together a list of our favorites. Noticed any others? Email us.
But will the Xbox 360 go the way of the Dreamcast and have Microsoft abandon it a few years into its life cycle? Yeah right. Read on to the next page to find out what's different this time around.
10 reasons why Xbox 360 will succeed where the Dreamcast stumbled >>

The ComparisonsPosted: Mar 08, 2013 12:00AM PST by KENSHERMAN
However, on the preceding 1st page - 23 eerie parallels between Xbox 360 and the Sega Dreamcast - these are too many to be considered just a coincidence! Really. Then again, some key people from the Dreamcast team probably moved on to the Xbox team but who knows?
Reason #10Posted: Mar 08, 2013 12:00AM PST by KENSHERMAN
You hit it on the nail on the last reason Xbox won't fail where the Dreamcast did. It was just a matter of time when Microsoft was going to capitalize on that (potential) billions dollar market.
About that...Posted: Sep 09, 2010 12:00AM PST by Koudai2008
I read somewhere, maybe in EGM, that the Wii isn't a "next-gen" like PS3 & 360. They called it a "new-gen" system and I agree with that term.
Speaking of EGM (Electronic Gaming Monthly), are they coming back? I liked them lots better than Game Informer & Game Pro (though Game Pro was good, too).
Heres the Difference...Posted: Mar 26, 2010 12:00AM PST by chikinscratch
in 10 more years my Dreamcast is still going to work, while my 360 will make a very expensive doorstop.
when it comes to game compatibility and glitchesPosted: Feb 17, 2010 12:00AM PST by bubba_d
ive had a xbox 360 console for 2 months now and i can say with no doubt that
xbox 360 loses big time (not because of its graphics and speed thats brilliant)
its glitches and freezeing
especially notorius saints row 1 and (2 mostly) games
glitches galore and needing patches from a internet connection (using windows and network i hate networks which is the worst)
not much was needed on dreamcast
i feel depressed about dreamcast failing to keep alive
it was more stable than xbox 360
for a arcade console it doesnt rate heavly at all when it fails to work they way it should.
older consoles from zonks ago were more stable than xbox 360 ever could.
it seems to be when we get too technical in this age we have more problems than ever before
but experiencing windows is no differant to the xbox in the glitches anyway.
why was it ever a console xbox 360 encounters so many glitches rush rush id say.
xbox 360 needs to keep there site updated with patches or they are gonna lose.
im getting fead up with having to find fixes for a so called arcade console. no differant than a pc.
ok thats all for now.
The XBOX wasn't blackPosted: Aug 14, 2009 12:00AM PST by Epic Greenman
It was a very very dark green. And Dreamcast was too amazing of a system for the lifespan it got.
Crap.Posted: Jan 04, 2009 12:00AM PST by Johnny_BB82
The Dreamcast controller was amazing, as, if you look at the 360 controller, they look incredibly similar. I've always understood that the Xbox controllers, starting with the original Xbox, were ripoffs of the Dreamcast. So yeah, BITE me. Heheh
Controllers...Posted: Sep 10, 2011 12:00AM PST by Segagamer95
Looking at the similarities between the controllers:
Saturn 3D controller -> Dreamcast controller -> Xbox controller -> Xbox S controller -> Xbox 360 controller

Watch: Tina Majorino teases her 'Bones' return
FOX's animated 'Napoleon Dynamite' will premiere in January
When I sat down for my video conversation with Tina Majorino back in September, it was actually to discuss her return as Deb in the FOX animated adaptation of her Sundance smash "Napoleon Dynamite."
However, the "Veronica Mars" and "Big Love" veteran had just completed a visit to "Bones," reprising her role as Special Agent Genevieve Shaw.
Majorino first played Shaw last season in the episode "The Hole in the Heart" and her second episode, "The Male in the Mail" will air on Thursday (Dec. 1) night on FOX.
Entirely coincidentally, FOX also finally announced today that "Napoleon Dynamite" has a premiere date, specifically Sunday, January 15.
I'll run the rest of my interview with Majorino a little closer to the "Napoleon Dynamite," but while she wasn't all that specific about "Bones," she was endearing enough that I really wanted to run the clip.
So check it out...

Fi'zi:k is a specialist in products that govern the interface between man and machine: saddles and shoes that work in harmony with you as you ride. In 1996 fi'zi:k set out on a journey to improve rider performance by producing saddles for superior ride comfort. In 2015, this same purpose drives fi'iz:k to produce shoes fit for high performance.
After dedicated Italian craftsmen have breathed life into eclectic raw materials, the resulting shoe extols all the virtues associated with a superb fit: maximising power transfer, while boasting a sharp aesthetic to boot!
Life is a trail and the trail is my life.
The M5 is fi'zi:k's most accessible MTB shoe, inheriting many of its features from the M1 and M3 models. Its uses are many: MTBing, CX or even commuting to work. This is a comfortable and durable do-anything shoe that's lightweight with a carbon-reinforced nylon outsole stiff enough for most. Many agree that it's hard to find an Italian-made road cycling shoe that looks as sharp, at this price!
-Nylon carbon-reinforced outsole with high friction rubber treads for extra grip
-Upper made from Anti-Scratch leather/Nylon mesh (anti-scratch leather at the toe and heel provide durability in areas that see the most wear and tear, and nylon mesh keeps the weight down and increases breathability)
-Aluminium loading lever
-Sail cloth closure straps (this material doesn't stretch as it's made from Kevlar: excellent fit)
-Neutral fit to accommodate the majority of foot shapes
-Volume: low/medium/high
-Fi'zi:k Superlight Insole
-Weight: 378g (size 43, without insole)

Matter of Kapon v. Koch
Civil Practice
Justice Michael Stallman
Petitioners sought to quash subpoenas issued to them to obtain discovery in a California fraud action. The court noted petitioners did not argue they were prejudiced by any purported deficient notice, noting they were not strangers to the dispute between rare wine buyer Koch and Kurniawan, the seller of the allegedly fraudulent wines. Further, it stated even if notice was lacking, the deficiency was cured in Koch's papers. The court continued that Koch demonstrated that the information he sought from petitioners was not reasonably available from Kurniawan or any other source. Also, as Kurniawan sought a stay of the California action based on a pending federal criminal proceeding against him, it would be impossible to participate in discovery or in any other meaningful way in this civil action without implicating his Fifth Amendment rights against self-incrimination. The court stated that given Kurniawan's position, Koch should not be required to depose him before taking petitioners' non-party depositions, ruling New York has no absolute rule that party depositions must be completed before non-party depositions. Thus, petitioners' motion seeking to quash the subpoenas, their depositions and for a protective order was denied.

English Premier League Teams Kicking Around the Idea of Going After FC Dallas's Brek Shea
Brek Shea
Reports out of England have Liverpool and Manchester City of the Premier League taking a long, hard look at FC Dallas's Brek Shea, the 21-year-old College Station-born star just called to the U.S. National Team at September's end. Problem is, Shea -- a chief contender for MLS's MVP award -- is under contract to Dallas till 2015. "We're not letting him go anywhere," club spokesman Jason Minnick tells Unfair Park this morning.
Maybe, maybe not: You may recall that a little more than two years ago, when Brits first started sniffing around Shea, Jesuit's own Kenny Cooper decamped for Munich while also under contract to FC Dallas (though it was also set to expire at season's end, as opposed to Shea's long-term deal). And, as Minnick reminds: Premier League teams have plenty of money to throw around, and can offer their American counterparts anything or anyone in exchange for their stars, which means they could always make a deal too good to pass up.
Shea's agent Barry MacLean tells SkySports -- which reports that Manchester United and Chelsea are also snooping around -- that, yup, his guy's got a contract. But anything's possible: "I do know people are asking me about Brek as he is the premier talent in America. ... [The Premier League] is on his radar. ... I think England would be an interesting option for Brek, but we will wait and see what happens."

So, did you hear the one about the high school teacher who walked into a comedy club--and they hired him? That's where the Tim Cavanagh comedy story begins. For a full year, Tim taught teenagers by day. By night, he sang his funny songs in Chicago comedy clubs. "Not surprisingly, I found the biggest difference between the classroom and the nightclub was the drunks--which I generally let the principal handle," Tim says.
Since leaving the classroom, Tim Cavanagh has brought his comedic songs and inventive stand-up to concert halls, corporations, college campuses and nightclubs across America. Over the years, he has also made several trips to Canada, where he has to convert all his jokes to Celsius and his one degree in philosophy becomes a bone-chilling minus 31. He has even performed on the island of St. Lucia, his first time ever doing comedy in the Atlantic Standard time zone, where they got his jokes one hour sooner than they would have in New York.
Early on, it was Tim's funny songs that got a lot of attention. His song, "I Wanna Kiss Her (But She Won't Let Me)," was the first of Tim's pieces to receive national radio exposure, on the legendary "Dr. Demento" show. Other songs followed, including "99 Dead Baboons," "Get Drunk with Dignity," and "Really Safe Sex." His funny music has been heard on radio stations everywhere, as well as on XM Satellite and even the BBC.
In 1997, Tim released his first CD, "Sounds Like Fun!" By then he had become a regular guest on "The Bob & Tom Show," a nationally syndicated radio show now heard in 150 markets. For two years, Tim did a weekly segment on the show called "The One Minute Song," which spawned two more CDs released on Tim's own label, Hits & Giggles Records. At a recent Hits & Giggles awards dinner, Tim was recognized by the label as their "Best Artist," an award he has won three out of the last four years. Even though he is the only act on the roster, a misty-eyed Cavanagh was quoted as saying, "It's still a big thrill."
As for television, Tim has not only appeared on Comedy Central, he was chosen by the network to do several live performances for their clients and customers. His national appearances on ABC-TV, Showtime, WGN, and Comcast have helped Tim deal with his biggest TV disappointment--calling QVC seconds too late to get a great deal on a colander set.

October 07, 2016 at 8:00 PM Ms. PatLet's start with Ms. Pat hasn't lived the life of your typical comedian. Born to a single mother of 5, living on welfare in a tough West end neighborhood of Atlanta, Ms. Pat learned early on she would have to fend for herself in this world. Her Grandfather ran a "bootleg" house where as a kid Pat learned how to roll the drunks for food money. She had her first child at 14 and her second child at 15, "I knew I wasn't going to college so I figured why not get an early start on my family". She became a drug dealer in her teens known by the street name "Rabbit". "I figured there were two things I could do in my neighborhood to earn money, either sell drugs or sell p*@#$y". At 16 she purchased her first Cadillac. During her teens she was shot twice and arrested numerous times. At 19 years of age she met a man, and with his help and encouragement decided to get out of the "life". "I was so tired, I thought for sure I was going to end up dead. He was 21 and a military vet and he showed me a way out".
At 19 with two toddlers and a new husband she is handed 4 more young children from her sister who was struggling with drug addiction. The next 10 years of her life are spent raising those 6 children. Part of that process included visits to the welfare office for food stamps and Section 8 housing assistance for her sister's children. It was during these visits that Ms. Pat was first told she had a talent for telling funny stories. In 2003 with her case-worker's encouragement she decided to go on stage and appeared at the Open-Mic-Night at "The Pub" in Atlanta. From the moment she stepped on stage she knew she had found her place. She began pouring punch lines across stages at the rate other moms pour milk at the counter.
With a comedy career now spilling over 9 years this powerful woman brings an honest, in your face, and hilarious perspective to her shows. She has appeared on TV Guide Network's "Standup in Stilettos", and Nickelodeons "Mom's Night Out". She has an upcoming appearance on BET's "Comicview" this fall. She is a regular guest on the syndicated Bob and Tom Radio Show, and appears on Katt Williams DVD "Kattpacalypse".
She has become a Podcast celebrity with appearances on TalkinS hit with Eddie Ifft, WTF with Marc Maron, The Joe Rogan Experience, Ari Shafir's Skeptic Tank, The CrabFeast with Ryan Sickler and Jay Larson, and Your Mom's House with Christina Pazsitzky and Tom Segura, the Bertcast with Bert Kreischer.
In January of 2015 she appeared on Comedy Central's "This is Not Happening" and will be on the 2015 of NBC's "Last Comic Standing".
Ms. Pat currently resides with her husband and three children in Indianapolis.
October 14, 2016 at 8:00 PM Gabriel RutledgeA past winner of the prestigious Seattle International Comedy Competition, Gabriel has made television appearances on Comedy Central's Live at Gotham, Nickelodeon's Nickmom Night Out, and the nationally syndicated Comedy.TV and Comics Unleashed.
He is also a frequent guest on the Bob and Tom radio show, heard in over 150 cities.
Gabriel has performed at the HBO/TBS Comedy Festival in Las Vegas, the Laughing Skull Comedy Festival in Atlanta, the Bridgetown Comedy Festival in Portland, and the Great American Comedy Festival held in Johnny Carson's home town of Norfolk Nebraska.
Gabriel has released two albums; "Sometimes Laughter Hurts" and "Breeder" that can be heard on Sirius Satellite Radio, 24/7 Comedy Radio, and wherever you want if you buy one. He is also author of the book "Happiness Isn't Funny."
Rutledge makes his home in one of the great entertainment capitals of the world; Olympia Washington.
October 21, 2016 at 8:00 PM JR BrowJ.R. Brow went to college, became a standup comic, and eventually toured 49 states and 4 continents with his guitar in hand. His original standup comedy instantly won over young and old fans alike. Almost immediately, J.R. marched to the finals of the San Francisco Comedy Competition. He has opened for performers like Dana Carvey, Ray Romano, Bill Hicks, and Steven Wright. He's recently been featured on Comedy Central's "Live at Gotham" and CBS's "Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson" as well as many other television spots along the way.
Like the rarest of breeds, J.R. electrifies audiences with his high energy storytelling and spot-on mimicry. When his guitar comes into the act, the originality peaks with his unique musical prowess. Brow's comedy can be heard on his current CD, "Dumber By The Decade" and read in his upcoming memoir, "The Ancient Greeks Had Nothing On Me."
J.R. lives in Austin, travels forty-plus weeks a year, and is constantly writing new bits. In his free time, he collects Japanese guitars and rare vinyl records.

I offer the following helps for use in the open or drop method of administering ether. This is the most popular method in this country, and is without doubt the easiest, simplest and safest for the majority of anesthesias, especially for those of limited experience.
This dropper is made from the original ether can (Fig. 1 A) by cutting a circular incision through the soft metal cap of the can, as close to the edge of the neck as possible, holding the knife at right angles to the can. This is extended about four-fifths of the way round (Fig. 1 B). This flap is turned back and a small pledget of cotton inserted (Fig. 1 C); then the flap is turned down to its original position; this will hold the wick in place. Now it is ready for use. Drops of ether will fall from the end of the wick

In Part 3, you'll learn how to use the basic features of SCPM. The article contains the following sections:
- Create a new SCPM project walks you through the process of building an SCPM model from scratch.
- Overview of SCPM features introduces you to important SCPM features in detail, including the geographic and thread Diagrams, the fishbone diagram and the scorecard.
- Importing and exporting SCPM models shows you how to import and export models and data to and from SCPM.
Create a new SCPM project
To create a new SCPM project, complete the following steps:
- Open SCPM in a new workspace.
- Select File => New => SCPM Project, as shown in
Figure 1.
Figure 1. New SCPM project
- In the Create a New Project Wizard dialog shown in Figure 2, specify a
name and a storage location for the project. By default, the project
is stored in your workspace, but you can change its location. Click
Figure 2. Name the new SCPM project
- In the next dialog, shown in Figure 3, select a process framework and
a reference model under that framework. There are two kinds of process
frameworks built in: frameworks from the Supply-Chain Council and
frameworks from APQC. Under each framework, there are multiple
reference models for your selection. The selected reference model is
used as the reference when building your model in this project.
Figure 3. Apply a reference model
- After you select a reference model, you'll be promoted to accept the license agreement for the reference model. Accept the license statement and click Finish.
You have now created a new SCPM project. You can find the project in both the WebSphere® Business Modeler project tree and the SCPM Navigator. Note that both point to the same project, but the SCPM Navigator can also display SCPM-specific information that is not support by WebSphere Business Modeler.
When the SCPM project is created, the reference model is automatically imported into the SCPM project. You can open the predefined processes and use the Process Properties view to check the content of the reference model.
Create a scenario and a geographic diagram
Using the newly created SCPM project and the reference model, you can build a supply chain model of your own. To do this, the first step is to create a new scenario. A scenario is developed for a particular case, for exampel, and AS-IS scenario to model the current supply chain and a TO-BE scenario to model the future supply chain after improvement.
To create a new scenario, complete the following steps:
- Right-click the Supply Chain Model node in the SCPM
Navigator view, as shown in Figure 4, then select New =>
Scenario. Name the scenario and click
Figure 4. New scenario in SCPM Navigator view
- Now you can create a geographic diagram to model the supply chain
network. Right-click the Diagrams node under the
scenario, and select New => Geographic Diagram, as
shown in Figure 5. Name the diagram and select
Figure 5. New geographic diagram in SCPM Navigator view
- Once the geographic diagram is created, you can use the SCPM Navigator
to find the diagram, then double-click to open the diagram editor, as
shown in Figure 6. The diagram editor looks like a Geographic
Information System (GIS), with a world map as the default background,
and a toolbar and a palette to manipulate the model. You can change
the background to other maps according to business requirements.
Figure 6. Geographic diagram editor
Build the supply chain network
In the geographic diagram you can build the supply chain network in a drag-and-drop manner. You can create facilities using the tools provided by the palette on the right, and configure the attributes of the nodes in the model, such as the name, location, color, and so on.
To build the Supply Chain Network in the Geographic Diagram, do the following:
- Open the Palette in the geographic diagram editor and select a facility, such as Supplier.
- Drag the Supplier to a geographic location.
- Repeat this to place other facilities in geographic locations.
- Save the project.
- After you finish building the supply chain network, you can map the facilities to the processes. To configure the process-to-facility mapping, double-click the facility in the Geographic Diagram editor to open the Facility Configuration dialog, shown in Figure 7.
- Select Processes on the left to switch to the
Processes configuration page. The tree lists all the processes in the
reference model. Select the processes that are related to the selected
facility, and click OK to create the mappings between
the supply chain node and the related processes.
Figure 7. Map supply chain nodes to processes
- Repeat steps 5 and 6 to configure all the facilities in the supply chain network model.
- When you have finished configuring all the facilities in the model,
you can link the facilities by material and information flows to
construct a real supply chain network. To build the linkage among
facilities, click the Material or Information Flow icon in the
palette, then click the start node and end node in the model, as shown
in Figure 8. You can configure the attributes for the links, such as
the arrows, line style, color, and so on.
Figure 8. Define the material and informational flow
You've now built the supply chain network model and established mappings between supply chain nodes and business processes.
Overview of SCPM features
This section introduces all the basic features of SCPM, including geographic diagrams, thread diagrams, the Process Properties view, the SCPM Navigator, the Welcome page, cause-and-effect analysis and scorecard.
Geographic diagrams
Geographic diagrams are used to build and display the supply chain network model in a drag-and-drop manner. They are powered by mini GIS engines to enable zooming in and out, and moving and locating your facilities on the background map. Geographic diagrams distinguishe between material (blue lines) and information (red lines) flows among the supply chain facilities.
You can find the geographic diagram you built in the previous section by expanding the Supply Chain Model under the Diagrams node.
You can configure the supply chain network by switching to the Properties tab at the bottom, as shown in Figure 9. Here you can change the background, description, and whether or not to display the process configuration information on the diagram.
Figure 9. Properties view of the Geographic Diagram
Figure 10 shows the toolbar of the mini GIS.
Figure 10. The toolbar of the Geographic Diagram
The GIS toolbar is used to edit elements of a geographic diagram. It consists of three main sections:
- Show/Hide: Four buttons control showing or hiding map elements, including the grid, map, cities, and links.
- Map operation: Six buttons help to fit to map or model editor, select the map, move the map, and zoom in and out of the map.
- Configuration: Three buttons are used to add city information, change map settings, and lock the supply chain nodes on the diagram.
You can replace the original map with a new one that fits your specific requirements; for example, you can switch from the default world map to a US map. To do that, you need to first get the map file in .gar format. You can ask the SCPM development team for the map file. After getting the map file, click the Settings button on the toolbar of the geographic diagram to open the Map Settings dialog, shown in Figure 11, to import the map file into SCPM.
Figure 11. Import a new map for a geographic diagram
Once the new map is successfully imported, you can go to the Properties tab of the geographic diagram to change the background to the new map by selecting it from the drop-down list of the Background item, as shown in Figure 12.
Figure 12. Change the background
After the background map is changed, the locations of all the facilities on the map are also mapped to the new map.
SCPM also provides data import and export functions. The export function allows you to export the model information and diagrams to Microsoft® Excel® and Microsoft PowerPoint® or an image file for further use. The import function supports automatically locating the facilities on the map by importing Excel data. This is especially useful when there are lots of facilities in the supply chain model.
Thread diagrams
Geographic diagrams provide a Level 1 view (the coarsest one) of your supply chain; thread diagrams, shown in Figure 13, are most often used to model Level 2 business processes. They display the major processes within the supply chain and their corresponding locations, as assigned through the geographic diagram.
Figure 13. a thread diagram
To create a thread diagram, complete the following steps:
- Right-click the Diagrams node under the Supply Chain Model catalog in the SCPM Navigator and select New => Thread Diagram.
- To build a thread diagram, simply drag the facility nodes in the SCPM Navigator tree to the editor, and link the process elements by material flows and information flows, just as you did in the geographic diagram.
- You can also edit the attributes for the elements (both nodes and
links), including the style, color, font, and so on. To edit the
attributes, select the element on the diagram and select its
corresponding Properties tab to edit, as shown in
Figure 14.
Figure 14. Properties tab of the thread diagram
The thread diagrams also have the built-in linkage to WebSphere Business Modeler, thus you can directly jump from a process node in the thread diagram to the corresponding WebSphere Business Modeler process by right-clicking the node and selecting Open Process.
SCPM also enables exporting the thread diagram to either an image or a Microsoft PowerPoint file, just as with the geographic diagram.
The Process Properties view
The Process Properties view, shown in Figure 15, displays additional information that is available from the SCPM process model. Coupled with the Attributes view provided by WebSphere Business Modeler, you can model and display all information related to a process element. When you select an SCPM process node in the WebSphere Business Modeler editor, the Process Properties view is activated automatically. There are five tabs inside the Process Properties view: General, Metrics, Best Practices, Inputs, and Outputs. The Inputs and Outputs tabs are used only in the SCOR model whereas the other tabs are used for both the SCOR and APQC PCF.
Figure 15. The Process Properties view
Let's take a look at the tabs of the Process Properties view.
General tab
The General tab, shown in Figure 16, displays the basic information of a process node, including the process name and process description.
Figure 16. General tab of the Process Properties view
Metrics tab
The Metrics tab, shown in Figure 17, maintains information related to performance metrics. This tab could support more information than the Business Measures view in WebSphere Business Modeler. Besides maintaining the metric definitions, it also provides the basic analysis functions of a scorecard, for example, it can generate the radar chart for the benchmarking results. You can export the metrics information to an Excel file, and vice versa. You can also customize the interface of this tab, and convert the metric definitions to a WebSphere Business Modeler Business Measures view for further monitoring purpose.
Figure 17. Metrics tab of the process properties view
You can edit the properties of individual metrics, as shown in Figure 18. Metric properties are divided into two groups: basic and benchmarking. The basic group consists of basic information such as name, description, unit, performance attribute, source, and actual metrics value. The benchmarking group includes data items like parity, advantage, superior and target values, gap between actual and target value, and choices of whether the metric improves as value increases. To edit a metric's properties, right-click it in the Metrics tab, and select Edit.
Figure 18. Edit the metric's properties
After entering all required data in the Metrics tab, SCPM can generate a radar chart to display the benchmarking results based on the entered data. The radar chart can be organized either by Performance Attribute or by Performance Metric. You can customize this chart and export it to an image file. You can further configure the display of the radar chart using the Configure Radar Chart dialog, shown in Figure 19. For example, you can set the weight to the metrics under a performance attribute when you sort the radar chart by performance attribute.
Figure 19. Configure Radar Chart dialog
Best Practices tab
The Best Practices tab, shown in Figure 20, is used to maintain the best practices that are related to the selected process. The best practices are provided by the reference models, and are very helpful to diagnose and improve a process.
Figure 20. Best Practices tab of process properties view
Besides the basic display and edit functions, this tab also provides simple maturity analysis functions. You can first choose which best practices are applicable to your process and then mark their maturity level and importance.
Inputs and Outputs tabs
The Inputs and Outputs tabs are designed for the SCOR processes only. Unlike the the Inputs and Outputs tabs in the WebSphere Business Modeler Attributes view, they are used to display the cross-process relationships.
Figure 21. Inputs tab of process properties view
The SCPM Navigator
The SCPM Navigator, shown in Figure 22, is the control center of SCPM. The layout and operations of the Navigator are very similar to the WebSphere Business Modeler project tree. It lists all the projects in your workspace and allows you to add, delete, rename, duplicate, and open SCPM project elements.
Figure 22. SCPM Navigator view
The Navigator comprises different catalogs and elements, yet the operations for all of them are similar. These operations include new, delete, rename, duplicate, and open elements, and each can be accessed by right-clicking.
The Welcome page
The Welcome page, shown in Figure 23, provides a means to rapidly navigate through a multi-element SCPM model. It is a quick way to open important models, which is especially useful for demonstrations.
Figure 23. Welcome Page
When you drag a target element from the SCPM Navigator to the Welcome page, SCPM automatically creates links for it, so you can click Open to quickly access it.
Besides shortcuts to SCPM elements, you can also create shortcuts to files on your hard drive. To create a file link, drag the File Link node from the palette to the editor and double-click the File Link icon to designate the target file on your hard drive and select how to open the file, as shown in Figure 24. For example, if you are going to create a file link to an Excel file and you select Open With System Editor, the target file will open in Excel when you click Open.
Figure 24. Configure file link
You can use the Group element as the container to group shortcuts. In order to create a group, simply drag the Group element to the Welcome page. You can edit the group properties using the Properties tab, as shown in Figure 25.
Figure 25. Group in Welcome Page
Fishbone diagrams
A fishbone diagram, shown in Figure 26, helps to depict the causes of a certain event within the supply chain and conduct a cause-and-effect analysis. A fishbone diagram is an important tool in the Lean Six Sigma and SCOR methodology. Integrating such a tool helps SCPM to provide an end-to-end support for the supply chain transformation.
Figure 26. Fishbone Diagram
To create a fishbone diagram, right-click the Cause-and-effect Analysis node under Supporting Tools in the SCPM Navigator, then select New => Fishbone Diagram. You can then add the cause-and-effect nodes to the diagram by dragging elements from the palette. Other operations for a fishbone diagram include delete, rename, and duplicate, which you can access by right-clicking in the SCPM Navigator. Although SCPM assigns the parent node to new elements by default, you can change them. You can also add a fishbone background to the diagram and change the background color. Figure 27 shows a sample fishbone diagram.
Figure 27. Sample fishbone diagram
After creating a fishbone diagram, you can edit features such as names, value weights, parent nodes, fonts, and colors. To do this, double-click or right-click the node and select Edit Node Properties. The Fishbone properties dialog, shown in Figure 28, has three tabs: Properties, Font and Appearance. The Properties tab allows you to assign a weight for the node by giving a relative importance value. The Font and Appearance tabs allow you to edit the font and appearance of the node.
Figure 28. Edit node properties
You can also edit the properties of all fishbone nodes using the Edit All Fishbone Nodes option from the fishbone diagram. But you can only edit the common properties using the Edit Fishbone Node in batch function.
SCPM provides multiple ways to format and change the layout of a fishbone diagram, as shown in Figure 29:
- Change the parent of a node: Drag a node to the parent node or use node editor to select a parent node.
- Auto-layout: Fit the layout of a fishbone diagram to a standard size and position.
- Weight normalize: Normalize the weight of all causes.
Figure 29. Menu to format and change fishbone diagram
A fishbone diagram has three tabs: Diagram, Weight and Analysis. The Diagram tab is used to build the fishbone skeleton, while the other two tabs are used for analysis. Since we already discussed how to create a fishbone diagram, we will skip reviewing the Diagram tab and focus on the other two tabs.
The Weight tab, shown in Figure 30, displays a summary of the weight of all nodes organized by a tree. This tab is used to normalize the weights of all Causes. Moreover, weight data can be exported to an Excel file.
Figure 30. Weight tab of the fishbone diagram
A Pareto chart displays the comparative weight of elements on the Analysis tab, as shown in Figure 31. Note that the diagram changes can be synchronized automatically in both the Weight and Analysis tabs after data gets saved. You can also normalize the weight or export the diagram to a picture file by right-clicking on the fishbone diagram or using the toolbar on the Analysis tab.
Figure 31. Analysis tab of the fishbone diagram
The scorecard
The scorecard is almost the same as the Metrics tab in the Process Properties view. The key difference is that the metrics in the Scorecard are for the entire supply chain, rather than just for an individual process. You can access the Scorecard from the Supporting Tools catalog in the SCPM Navigator.
Figure 32. A scorecard
Importing and exporting SCPM models
This section describes how to import and export SCPM models and data.
When you want to export or import pure WebSphere Business Modeler elements, you can simply use WebSphere Business Modeler export and import functions. However, if you want to include the additional SCPM content, you must use the SCPM wizard to import or export.
Export an SCPM project
SCPM provides an export wizard to help users export SCPM projects. The export function also creates a backup from the Workbench to the file system.
To export a whole SCPM project, do the following:
- Select File => Export from the main menu, then
select the Supply Chain Process Modeler Export node.
In the Export dialog, shown in Figure 33, you can see that three
formats are supported: SCPM (.scm), Excel (.xls) and Visio (.vdx). The
Excel and Visio formats are for processes only. If you want to export
the whole SCPM project, you need to select the .scm format.
Figure 33. SCPM export wizard
- On the next page, specify the Target directory,
Project and Export file name,
and click Finish, as shown in Figure 34. The project
is exported to the target directory as an .scm file.
Figure 34. Export an SCPM project
Import an SCPM project
SCPM provides an import wizard to import SCPM projects into your selected workspace.
Importing an SCPM project is similar to exporting a project. The first step of the import operation is to launch the SCPM import wizard, shown in Figure 35, and select the .scm format. Then specify the .scm file to be imported in your disk, and click the Finish button. The SCPM project is imported to your workspace with its original name.
Figure 35. Import an SCPM project
Export processes to Visio
You can also export processes in a project to Microsoft Visio® files. To export processes to Visio files, choose the Microsoft Visio (.vdx) format in the SCPM export wizard. Note that you can only export processes to Visio files, not any other SCPM elements, such as geographic and fishbone diagrams.
To export processes into Visio files, open the SCPM export wizard, shown in Figure 36, and specify the Target Directory and the Project to be exported, then select either Export entire project or Export specific elements. If you choose Export specific elements, you can select the specific process you wish to export. Then name the exported file and click Finish. A .vdx file is then exported to the target directory.
Figure 36. Export processes to Visio files
In this article you learned about the many features of Supply Chain Process Modeler, including building a new SCPM project, using the various diagrams, and importing and exporting SCPM projects, and more. In Part 4, you'll learn about the advanced simulation functions of SCPM, as well as SCPM process simulation methodology.

A Keyholder earns an average wage of $10.23 per hour. Most people move on to other jobs if they have more than 10 years' experience in this career.
Add this chart to your site:
Copy and paste this HTML:
The main responsibility of the keyholder is to open and close their store. However, they are also trained in the day-to-day procedures that are necessary for their establishment to run smoothly. A keyholder is an important member of a store's management team, and they are generally third in line in terms of management after the manager and assistant manager. They also interact with customers and assist them with any requests.Read More...
Keyholders typically work in retail, but they can be found in other industries that require someone to open and close and serve as a floor supervisor. Schedules vary for keyholders, and they may be required to work on any given day of the week. Their typical day involves opening and closing the store, as they generally have the keys. They also handle the day-to-day running of the establishment and handle any managerial duties when the manager or assistant manager are both unavailable.
Typically, keyholder positions require a high school diploma or equivalent and retail experience (usually three to five years). They should also have very strong communication and customer service skills, as well as proficiency with basic computer programs.

STARRING Harrison Ford, Diane Keaton, Rachel McAdams
WRITTEN BY Aline Brosh McKenna
DIRECTED BY Roger Michell
After the massive success of her fashion-magazine-set comedy The Devil Wears Prada, screenwriter Aline Brosh McKenna says she was constantly being asked to re-create her winning formula: "Devil Wears Prada with a guy" or "Devil Wears Prada in another workplace." She found herself fixating on morning TV news shows, those moneymaking spectacles starring personalities who must be able to handle heavy political stories as well as fluff pieces, sometimes with awkward results. "I loved the idea that they are covering serious, hard news and they have to pivot on a dime and do segments on making banana bread," she says. "They say 'On a lighter note…' a lot."
So she wrote Morning Glory, in which Rachel McAdams plays an up-and-coming producer charged with pulling the pathetic program Daybreak out of its last-place ratings rut. To do so, she persuades a respected former evening newsman (Harrison Ford) to assume the anchor chair beside the show's established lightweight host (Diane Keaton). McKenna and producer J.J. Abrams immediately thought of Ford for their host, Mike Pomeroy, but weren't sure if he'd bite. "I sent it to him with a note that said, 'Nothing would make us happier in the world than you playing this character,'?" Abrams says. "I didn't know what he'd think, because it was a much more curmudgeonly character than he has played. Mike's an older guy who's been through the wringer a little bit and in no way the kind of heroic character that you often think of when you think of Harrison. But he called and said, 'I love it.'?" Says Ford: "It seemed perfectly phrased to give me the opportunity to do something different from what I'd done. It's a role that was both funny and emotionally invested."
As if Morning Glory's trio of stars isn't promising enough, the movie also features Modern Family breakout Ty Burrell in a performance that was shot before his smash sitcom debuted. Playing the Daybreak host whose early exit paves the way for Ford's character's entrance, Burrell apparently gives new meaning to the word smarmy. "From the second he shows up, you want Rachel to fire him," says McKenna. "It's not a huge part, but it's a pivotal part. And he just crushes it."

From left to right: Amanda Berry, Gina DeJesus, Michelle Knight
Between 2004-2006, Ariel Castro kidnapped Amanda Berry, Gina DeJesus, and Michelle Knight, and held the girls captive for over ten years. They were raped, beaten, and Berry gave birth to a child fathered by Castro.
Now two of the survivors are teaming up with Pulitzer Prize winning journalist Mary Jordan to tell their story in a book, Cleveland.com reports. No publishing date is set.
Jordan, who writes for The Washington Post, grew up on Cleveland's West Side and said that she has always been attracted to stories of human resilience.
"There has been a lot out there, but nobody knows their amazing story and it's their story," Jordan said. "I'm helping them do it."
Throughout the trial and conviction of Ariel Castro, details of his victims' captivity emerged through court records and police reports, yet all three women have remained silent as to how they survived the decade-long trauma.
The girls have decided to write about their past to regain control over the narrative of their captivity, said their lawyer James R. Wooley.
"Many have told, and continue to tell, this story in ways that are both inaccurate and beyond the control of these young women," said Wooley. "Our clients have a strong desire for privacy, but it is a reality that confronts them every day. Gina, Amanda and their families have decided to take control and are now interested in telling the story of what happened to them. "
Ariel Castro
Berry and DeJesus spent a decade trapped inside the West Cleveland home of Ariel Castro, along with a third victim, before escaping on May 6 after Berry kicked out a panel in the front door and called out for help.
Wooley said that he approached Jordan to help his clients write their story.
"Mary will collaborate with Gina and Amanda to help them write this book," he said. "Mary did not seek me out or ask to be involved. I went to her for help, knowing I could trust her, which meant everything to me."
"It's all about each of them being in control."
Amanda Berry, middle, with her sister, after being released from captivity in May, 2013.
- The man suspected of shooting and killing five people in a Washington mall is now in custody, officials said.
- Charlotte police have released video of Keith Lamont Scott's shooting and photos of a gun they say he had loaded.
- Kim Kardashian said she is voting for Hillary Clinton after being quoted saying she was "on the fence."
