Price optimization software is one of those tantalizing applications that have garnered much attention in recent years without many retailers pulling the trigger on an implementation. That may be changing. The cost of sophisticated analytical systems like price optimization, which has ranged from $750,000 to $5 million, can be daunting for even the largest retailer. Still, what these applications offer -- the ability to price items through an understanding of consumer demand, competitive ...

text: white-nose syndrome As its populations decline, a bat affected by white-nose syndrome gains protection By Lindsey Scullen • Mar 29, 2016 Flickr user USFWSmidwest / Flickr / http://j.mp/1SPGCl0 Listen Listening... / 4:00 Listen to today's Environment Report. White-nose syndrome is a deadly disease caused by a fungus. It's killing bats in 27 states including Michigan, and five Canadian provinces. It was first discovered in North America around a decade ago. Researchers think it came over from Europe, possibly on the shoes of a tourist or caver. Biologists expect the worst for Michigan's bat population By Rebecca Williams • Apr 15, 2014 Ryan Von Linden / New York Department of Environmental Conservation Listen Listening... / 4:00 Allen Kurta, PhD, talks about discovering bats with white-nose syndrome. Bats with white-nose syndrome have been found in Mackinac and Dickinson counties in the Upper Peninsula and Alpena County in northern lower Michigan. The fungal disease has killed more than six million bats in 27 states and five Canadian provinces since 2006. Allen Kurta is a biology professor at Eastern Michigan University. He's one of the researchers who found the infected bats. I spoke with him for today's Environment Report (you can hear him talk about white-nose syndrome above). Kurta compares the discovery of white-nose syndrome in Michigan bats to "every member of your extended family receiving a terminal diagnosis." "I think that this is one of the worst wildlife calamities ever in the history of North America. You're looking at potential extinction of multiple species of bats."

The Pro Bono Program requires all students enrolled to complete at least 30 hours of pro bono work in order to graduate.
The Pro Bono Program seeks to develop students' commitment to pro bono work and expose them to careers through which they can serve the public. Pro bono work is also a means for students to gain practical legal experience and build a professional network.
Pro Bono Program Student Required Actions
In order for their hours to count toward satisfying the Pro Bono Program, students must do the following:
- Secure a placement that satisfies the four criteria listed below
- Obtain approval of the placement from Leslie Becker Wilson (firstname.lastname@example.com)
- Attend a professionalism workshop presented by the Career Services Office
- Complete 30 hours of pro bono work between the completion of the first two semesters of law school and the end of the third month of the student's last semester of law school
- Submit a signed and completed Pro Bono Program Hour Log Form (PDF) to the Career Services Office
Securing a Pro Bono Placement
Placement Requirements
Students must obtain approval of their placements from Leslie Becker Wilson (email@example.com), the Director of the Career Services Office, and attend a professionalism workshop presented by the Career Services Office before starting to earn hours that count toward satisfying the Pro Bono Program.
A placement will satisfy the Pro Bono Program if it meets the four following criteria:
- The student will be performing legal or law-related work
- The work will be performed under the supervision of a licensed attorney
- The attorney is performing the work either as public service (government agencies or offices), public interest (legal services and other nonprofits), or pro bono (law firms handling non-fee generating matters that the firm takes on a pro bono basis not expecting to receive payment for the services it provides)
- The student will not receive payment or academic credit for the work
NOTE: Students may accumulate their 30 hours over a period of months and from different organizations if they choose.
If the above criteria are met, students must submit to the Pro Bono Program Hour Log Form (PDF) to the Career Services Office. The student must sign the Pledge portion and, when the student has completed at least 30 hours of pro bono work or otherwise finished a project, the student's supervisor must sign the completed Hour Log portion. Once the Career Services Office receives a completed Hour Log, it will contact the supervisor to verify the hours. When the hours are verified, the Law Enrollment Center will be notified that the student has satisfied the pro bono requirement.
Finding Placements
The Career Services Office encourages students to perform their pro bono hours at organizations that fit with their individual interests and career goals. Government agencies and offices, including legislative bodies and courts, legal service providers, and other nonprofits are excellent organizations at which volunteer opportunities exist that would likely satisfy the Pro Bono requirement.
Students can find placements that satisfy the Pro Bono Program on Symplicity by selecting 'Pro Bono' under the 'Position Type' field. For assistance accessing Symplicity, contact Natasha Ostrowski (firstname.lastname@example.com) at 508.985.1165.
Traditional online job search resources geared toward public interest positions that may satisfy the Pro Bono Program include:
- PSJD (formerly known as PSLawNet)
- Equal Justice Works
- Government Honors and Internship Handbook
Other sources include the Massachusetts Bar Association's online Pro Bono Opportunities Guide, which allows students to search for placements by county and practice area. Similarly, students can search the Massachusetts Service Alliance's Connect and Serve website for placements that seek volunteers with legal skills.
The Career Services Office maintains a comprehensive listing of nationwide government and public interest organizations, organized by state, at which students may find suitable placements.
Pro Bono Placement Help
Students are always welcome to visit the Career Services Office for additional guidance on securing acceptable pro bono placements.
During the school year students can learn about specific opportunities that satisfy the Pro Bono Program at the Pro Bono Program Volunteer Fair, through the On Campus Summer Interviewing Program, as well as from announcements by law school staff and faculty of special projects.
The Career Services Office recommends that students attend the various Career Services Office programs offered throughout the year to network with the speakers and inquire about available placements within their organizations.
Pro Bono Program Graduation Awards
At graduation, the law school will recognize students who perform pro bono service that significantly exceeds the 30 hours required. Students who perform 100 pro bono hours will receive the "Servant of Justice" award, and students who perform 200 pro bono hours will receive the "Leader for Justice" award.

Supervisors back extra auditors for Milwaukee County living wage rule
Just two months after supervisors passed a controversial "living wage" ordinance, Milwaukee County is poised to spend more than $217,000 a year to enforce it.
Under a move approved by the County Board, three additional auditors would be responsible for tracking implementation of the ordinance, which requires a minimum wage of at least $11.32 an hour for county employees and workers of some county contractors.
"You guys just don't get it," Supervisor Steve F. Taylor told fellow supervisors. "We have a tough time paying our bills as it is."
The county wage minimum would affect only a small number of county employees, but potentially could affect 2,400 low-wage personal care workers for firms that provide services under the county Family Care program.
The law also could lead to higher costs for janitors cleaning county buildings, unless a contract consolidating the work is signed before the end of May when the living wage law goes into effect. The board last week delayed consideration of rebidding the work until next month. If a new round of bids is sought, that would ensure the contract janitorial workers get the higher minimum wage.
Costs linked to the living wage requirement have been estimated at about $1 million for 2014 by Comptroller Scott Manske — the bulk of it in higher wages for security guards, janitors and clerical workers employed by county contractors, along with those extra auditors.
The extra costs rise to $4.2 million in 2015 and $7.3 million in 2019, according to a report by Manske.
The portion going toward auditors is estimated at more than $78,000 for the last few months of this year and more than $217,000 for next year.
At the time Manske released his report, the author of the ordinance, Supervisor David Bowen, said county officials should "not give in to these 'sky-is-going-to-fall' arguments." He said much of the cost of the higher minimum wage would be absorbed by county contractors and the cost to the county would be minimal.
Bowen initiated the proposal to hire the new auditors and was one of the 14 supervisors who voted in favor. Those opposed were Supervisors Deanna Alexander, Mark Borkowski, Anthony Staskunas and Taylor. Two supervisors who voted against the living wage ordinance nevertheless voted in favor of the extra auditors: Patricia Jursik and Jim "Luigi" Schmitt.
No public comments are taken at full board meetings.
The County Board approved the living wage in February and overrode a veto by County Executive Chris Abele last month. In vetoing the ordinance, Abele warned of "burdensome reporting and audit requirements both for the county and for vendors." Abele has not said whether he'll sign the measure for more auditors; he was traveling Monday and unavailable for comment.
Backers of the wage measure have said the county should set an example by providing family-supporting wages. The county's minimum is pegged to the federal poverty level for a family of four.
Supervisor John Weishan Jr. called the hiring of extra auditors for enforcing the living wage law a common-sense move.
Milwaukee County is the fourth local government in the state to have a higher local minimum wage ordinance. The cities of Milwaukee and Madison and Dane County already have similar ordinances.

not girls..., women. Actually not just women; men and women standing side by side in an endless bond of equality, like an eternal dance that is to be beautiful, but to achieve this we must understand and respect one and other, we must see beyond what we see, what we were made to believe, we must go beyond that line.

Our weekly stock report, as always, features players that are trending up and others who have struggled over the past week.
Roy Oswalt: After trending down with a couple of rough starts prior to the All-Star break, Oswalt bounced back in his last outing against the A's. He gave up one run on three hits in 6 1/3 innings in a Rangers' win.
Michael Young: The designated hitter appears to be climbing out of his slump. He has a six-game hitting streak and is hitting more balls to right field, a good sign for him.
Offense from catchers: Mike Napoli and Yorvit Torrealba are both hitting just over .200. Napoli has three hits in his last eight starts and still hasn't found his comfort zone at the plate.
Josh Hamilton: After crushing opposing pitching in April and May, Hamilton has cooled. He batted .223 in June and is hitting .171 so far in July with three homers and five RBIs.

Sometimes when you visit the iTunes Store, you'll just be browsing around with no particular item in mind, and you can just take your time surfing around from page to page, but other times you will come to the Store knowing exactly what you're looking for and wanting to find it right away. For those times you will want to take advantage of the Search feature of the Store. Now this is the same search field you would use to search your own iTunes library, but when you have the iTunes Store selected, the Search bar up here searches only the Store. Not only that but it will also make suggestions for you based on what you're typing. So let's say I want to find an album by a j azz artist I like to name John Pizzarelli.
So with the iTunes Store selected, I'll click in the Search bar and start typing in pizzarelli, and as I type, you can see that iTunes was already immediately suggesting possible matches to what I am looking for. And the first suggestion right here is the one I want, John Pizzarelli. I'll click on that, and here are my search results. And really with iTunes suggestions capability, it's not hard at all to find what you are looking for, especially because of the suggestions that pop up under the Search field. Usually with those suggestions I can quickly find what I want, whether I am looking for an artist, album or song title, and then be taken right to that item in the Store.
Now of course sometimes your search term might be too general or there might be too many results for the term you type in. For instance, if I click up here again and type in Star Trek, none of these suggestions are very specific. So if I press Return or Enter to go to the search results for the term Star Trek, you can see here I get results that include movies, TV seasons, albums, songs, iPhone apps, iPad apps, audiobooks, books, podcasts. There is even some iTunes U courses that mention Star Trek. So maybe what I am looking for is a specific episode of the original Star Trek TV series, but the only thing I remember about it is that the alien race called the Romulans were involved.
Now I could come up here again and type in Star Trek Romulan, but that still brings up iPhone apps and iPad apps and audiobooks and so on. So this is a situation where I probably want to Power Search. Now you can see over here on the left we do have Filter By Media Types. So if I am really only looking for TV shows, I can say just show me TV shows, but in this case, it's actually showing me no search results. So this is a situation where I probably want to try Power Search. So in the upper left-hand corner here, there is a link to open Power Search. You can also go right to Power Search at any time by clicking the Store menu and choosing Search from here.
So in Power Search I can narrow down the category I want to search in by choosing for this example TV Shows, but you can also search specifically for Music, Movies, Apps and so on. The fields you see to the right of that menu depend on what category you've selected over here on the left. So I am going to type in "star trek: the original series" and I will type romulans in the Description field. Hopefully there is an episode of the show that has a word romulans in the description. And I'll click Search. So now I have significantly fewer results to look through. Here are the TV episodes it found, and really there are only two episodes of that show that include the description with the world Romulans in it.
One is called the Balance of Terror and one is called The Enterprise Incident, and these both just appear in three different compilations as you can see under Show here. So I can click on one of these to go to that compilation and then somewhere in here, yup, Balance of Terror is right there. Click on the description. You can see, yup, there is the word Romulans right there. So that's an example of the Power Search feature. Just remember that this feature is available because it can be extremely useful for finding items in the iTunes Store that you might otherwise have trouble tracking down. Again, it's going to the Store menu and choosing Search and from here choose the type of file you're looking for and then fill out as many of the fields as you can to narrow down your search results.

Frisco RoughRiders right-hander Barrett Loux was named the Texas League's Pitcher of the Year. Loux was one of four RoughRiders on the TL postseason All-Star team, joined by outfielder Engel Beltre, third baseman Mike Olt and shortstop Jurickson Profar.
Only the Springfield Cardinals had more players (five) named to the team.
Loux, 23, is the second RoughRider to be named Pitcher of the Year, joining Blake Beavan in 2010. In 24 starts, Loux is 14-1 with a 3.50 ERA. He leads the Texas League in wins and is tied for second most victories in all of minor league baseball.
He suffered his only loss on June 22 against Corpus Christi, his first defeat in 11 months (when he was pitching for Myrtle Beach in the Carolina League). Loux is first in winning percentage (.933) and fourth in fewest baserunners/9 IP (11.50).
A former first-round pick out of Texas A&M by the Diamondbacks (sixth overall in 2010), Loux was granted free agency after Arizona failed to sign him. The Rangers signed the Houston native as a free agent on November 22, 2010.
Beltre, 22, has been Frisco's regular center fielder and leadoff batter for most of the season. Through 127 games he is batting .262 with 16 doubles and career highs in home runs (16), triples (17), RBIs (54) and steals (36).
Olt, 24, played in 95 games for Frisco before being promoted to the Rangers on Aug. 2. With the Riders, Olt hit .288 with 28 home runs, 17 doubles, one triple and 82 RBIs. At the time of his promotion, he was leading all Double-A players in OPS (.877) and was tied for the second most home runs in all of the minors.
Profar, 19, was also named a Midseason Texas League All-Star. Through 123 games, the switch-hitter is batting .280 with 14 home runs, 26 doubles, seven triples and 62 RBIs. He is tied for fourth in the league in triples and is fifth in total bases (216). The youngest player in all of Double-A, he played against Olt in the Futures Game as the starting shortstop for the World Team.
Springfield outfielder Oscar Taveras is the Texas League Player of the Year, while Corpus Christi's Keith Bodie was honored as the Manager of the Year.

Google Offers 'Right to Be Forgotten' Form in Europe
Web Site Set Up Where European Residents Can Make Claims
Google Inc. GOOGL -1.51 % created a website and formed a committee of Internet experts to help the company handle requests from European residents asserting their new "right to be forgotten" online.
Earlier this month, Europe's top court ruled that people can ask Internet search engines to remove links to content that is inadequate, irrelevant or could be deemed to infringe on their right to privacy.
The ruling sent shock waves through the Internet industry and hit Google, as operator of the world's dominant search engine, particularly hard.
Google's new site, unveiled Friday, lets European residents list Web addresses that they want removed from search results on the resident's name. The people must list their names and email addresses, supply photo identification, explain how each linked page is related to them and why the search result is "irrelevant, outdated, or otherwise inappropriate."
Links will be removed only for search results presented in the European Union, Google has said.
Google said it would assess each request, including whether there is a public interest in the information, such as information about financial scams, professional malpractice, criminal convictions, or public conduct of government officials.
"The court's ruling requires Google to make difficult judgments about an individual's right to be forgotten and the public's right to know," a Google spokesman said. He said Google will work with data-protection authorities and others to implement the ruling.
Luciano Floridi, a philosopher at the Oxford Internet Institute and member of Google's advisory committee, said in a statement that there are "ethical and legal challenges posed by the Internet" and that the committee's task will "probably require some hard and rather philosophical thinking."
WSJD is the Journal's home for tech news, analysis and product reviews.
Other members of the committee are Frank La Rue, United Nations Special Rapporteur on the Promotion and Protection of the Right to Freedom of Opinion and Expression; Peggy Valcke, a director at the University of Leuven's law school; José-Luis Piñar, an academic who used to work for Spain's Data Protection Agency and Jimmy Wales, co-founder of the nonprofit online encyclopedia Wikipedia.
Google Executive Chairman Eric Schmidt and the company's top lawyer, David Drummond, will co-chair the committee. The committee won't set Google policy, but promote a broad discussion of the issues raised by the European court ruling, the Google spokesman said.
Google said it has already received thousands of requests from European residents asking for links about them to be removed. The company hasn't yet removed links, but is developing policies and processes to do so, a company spokesman said.
Free-speech advocates in the U.S. reacted strongly to the European Court's ruling when it was announced. Jeffrey Rosen, a law professor at George Washington University, said the decision put companies like Google and Yahoo Inc. in a difficult spot, and could force them to be "censors in chief."
Before the ruling, Google referred users who wanted links removed to the original publishers of the information. If the publisher complies, Google's search index will eventually reflect that information has been taken down. The system let Google largely avoid determining what information should be removed.

China's next generation Net is way ahead of the West
The Net is getting creaky and old: it is rapidly running out of space and remains fundamentally insecure. And it turns out that China is streets ahead of the West in doing anything about it.
A report published in the "Philosophical Transactions" of the Royal Society this month details China's advances in creating a next-generation Internet that is on a national level and on a larger scale than anything in the West.
At the root of the problem are "two major gaps in the architecture of the Internet", according to a report from the New England Complex Systems Institute, compiled in 2008 for the US Navy and released to the public this month. First up is the Internet's inability to block malicious traffic as a whole. While malware can rapidly replicate and distribute itself across the Net, organisations can only respond to individual instances of online aggression.
China is already coming up with better defences. One of the most important aspects of its next-generation backbone is a security feature known as source address validation architecture (SAVA). Many of the existing security problems stem from an inability to authenticate IP addresses of computers that try to connect to your network. SAVA fixes this by adding checkpoints across the network. These build up a database of trusted computers matched up with their IP addresses. Packets of data will be blocked if the computer and IP address don't match. Steve Wolff, one of the Internet's early pioneers, calls it a "model that should be much more widely adopted".
But China has been planning for that day for a long time, under pressure from its massive population, all of whom want to be connected to the Net. So says Donald Riley, an information systems specialist at the University of Maryland, who also chairs the Chinese American Network Symposium.
"China has a national Internet backbone in place that operates under IPv6 as the native network protocol," says Riley. "We have nothing like that in the US."
China is already running next-generation services: Internet service provider 3TNet provides television over IPv6, streaming programmes in high definition. It is the basis for a system that monitors and controls traffic flow over the Internet and provides remote medical services - even long-distance, real-time violin lessons in high definition. All have the potential to reach more people at higher speeds than any equivalent service on the old Internet.
"If you are thinking about the future of the Internet, anyone that explores that territory and maps it out first has a definite competitive advantage," Riley says, "especially with the resources available to China."

If you are training for an athletic competition -- be it a marathon, a bicycle race or a swimming event -- it is essential that you keep a detailed log of that training. Doing so allows for the analysis of various facets of your preparation, which in turn may reveal patterns that lead to either improvement or less-than-desirable results. Identifying patterns allows for the refinement of future training cycles and allows you to inch ever closer to meeting your potential.
Tracking Your Training
Step 1
Select a goal event in your chosen discipline.
Step 2
Develop a detailed training plan designed to help you achieve a challenging but realistic goal.
Step 3
Execute your first workout or practice session.
Step 4
Record the relevant details in your notebook or using the interface of your software program. Depending on your sport, relevant details may include duration, speed, heart rate, weather conditions, route description and subjective feelings about the workout.
Step 5
Continue with your daily or near-daily workouts or practices and continue to record the details in a similar manner.
Step 6
Calculate and record your total distance, time or similar data at the end of each week, if applicable to your sport.
Step 7
Compete in your goal event.
Step 8
Examine your training log within the context of the recorded results. Look for indicators of habitual training practices that seem to have contributed positively and negatively to the outcome.
Step 9
Prepare for your next competition. Based on your analysis, make necessary changes to any subsequent training regimens. Save all of the data you have recorded for future referral.
