Evansville's baseball program wasn't just battling the nation's No. 4 team Thursday at Vanderbilt.
The Aces and junior center fielder Kevin Kaczmarski, a Prairie Ridge graduate, were faced with a game-time temperature of 33 degrees and winds that made Nashville feel like North Dakota.
"It was a mental battle to start with," Kaczmarski said. "The wind chill was about 20 degrees."
With one swing of his bat, Kaczmarski fired up the entire Evansville team.
Thanks to a first-inning, bases-loaded triple that put the Aces ahead, 3-0, Kaczmarski and his teammates put together an impressive 8-3 victory.
"Everybody was pretty pumped up," he said. "[The triple] gave us a little bit of a spark. It gave us some comfort and gave us some confidence to be up 3-0."
In the second inning, Evansville added three more runs to go up, 6-0.
"We just played our game," said Kaczmarski, who is batting fourth in the Aces' lineup this season. "It's huge, especially for a little school like us."
Now in his third year as the starting center fielder, Kaczmarski has had a major impact on the team's offensive output.
A first-team All-Missouri Valley Conference player last season, Kaczmarski has started this year strong. He is batting .333 and leading the team in RBIs (nine), slugging percentage (.630), doubles (four) and stolen bases (5 for 5) for the Aces (4-3), who are off to their best start since 2006.
"Overall, I'm just playing with more confidence," Kaczmarski said.
Batting fourth in the order has given Kaczmarski more RBI opportunities. Last season, he led off for the Aces.
"It really doesn't matter to me," he said of his spot in the lineup. "Last year, what was best for the team was for me to hit in the one hole. This year, what's best is for me to be in the four hole."
As one of the top players in the MVC, Kaczmarski is sure to draw attention from professional scouts this season in advance of the amateur draft in June.
"I'd be lying if I said I didn't want to play at that level," said Kaczmarski, whose father, Randy, played professionally in the San Diego Padres' organization. "It's something to strive for. But you just have to go out and play."
D'Angelo among nation's best: McHenry West grad Laura D'Angelo helped Olivet Nazarene place second last weekend at the National Christian College Athletic Association indoor track and field meet in Bourbonnais.
In the process, the freshman achieved NCCAA All-America honors in three events.D'Angelo placed second in the 400 meters (59.06 seconds) as an individual. She also ran a leg on the second-place 4x200 (1 minute, 42.95 seconds) and 4x400 (3:57.57) relay teams.
D'Angelo and her teammates also will compete in the NAIA national meet beginning Thursday in Geneva, Ohio.
Freeman shines at Southern: Josh Freeman of Cary-Grove set another personal record in the shot put last week at the EIU Friday Night Special meet in Charleston.
While winning the event with a throw of 63 feet, 9 inches, Freeman extended his own SIU indoor school record by 7 inches and set the meet and facility records at EIU's Lantz Fieldhouse.
Freeman, a sophomore, ranks No. 12 nationally in the shot put.
St. Ambrose standouts: Ty Balduf (Marian Central) and Isaiah Mosher (Crystal Lake Central) earned conference titles and spots on the all-conference list at the Midwest Collegiate Conference indoor track and field meet last month.
The local athletes helped NAIA St. Ambrose University place second as a team.
Balduf, a sophomore, entered the meet with the league's fifth-best time in the 3,000-meter run. He held off reigning MCC cross country and 5,000-meter champ T.J. Mosbach to win the race in 9:15.39. Balduf won the race by almost 4 seconds.
Mosher, a freshman, finished second in the long jump to earn All-MCC honors. His leap of 20 feet, 11Ľ inches was less than 4 inches behind event winner Sam Taylor of William Penn (21-2ľ).
Thunder junior takes 2nd: Jacobs grad Dan Olsen placed second last week at the College Conference of Illinois and Wisconsin wrestling meet.
Olsen, a 184-pound junior at Wheaton College, lost his weight class title match, 6-2, to North Central's Thomas Reyhons, who won the meet's Most Outstanding Wrestler award.
For the season, Olsen has a 22-7 record for Wheaton, which placed third in the team standings.

Nice gel but not happy with expiry date
Posted by 4924741798902508196 on May 27, 2016
The product itself is great, I love the light gel texture, not sticky and soothes the eye area well but does not help much with puffiness. I purchased this product many times before and only this time did I receive two which I ordered with an expiry the month later. So I have no idea how to finish two tubes within a month! Please do not send out products that has a soon to expire date that was shown differently in the description.
close to expiry stock

brought the eye gel in Mar 2016, was using it alternatively with my other eye cream, to my astonishment, I realised today the "best used" is by 5/2016. I don't know should I dump it away or continue using. hope the supplier can be more considerate not to send out such products.
Very good!

No more tired-looking eyes
Posted by Elisabeth on Apr 28, 2014
I've been using this during nighttime for a while, and being a person who used to wake up with very tired-looking eyes, I can say that this really works! I was attending an event this weekend, that caused lack of sleep, but you wouldn't have guessed it by looking at my eyes! No black/blueness at all, no puffiness, no nothing! I was quite impressed! I think the anti-age effect works well, too, but I can't tell for sure, I'm only 38 years old. Oh, and being a person with very oily eyelids, this eye gel does not make my mascara run, which I find quite important, too. So, I'll definitely keep buying this one (I'm soon on my third tube).

They always mark it up, or there's always some taxes involved." "It's never a straight-up deal." "Usually the deals I get are not where I want to go at the time I want to go." When you try to snag a great airfare online, sometimes it can vanish into thin air. That's what Consumer Reports' Tod Marks found when he investigated how to cut the cost of flying. "You see a lot of airfare deals out there that sound great. But hidden fees, fine print, and blackout dates can make locking in a great deal as tricky as a soft landing in turbulence." Take this Travelocity "deal" on a round-trip flight from Philadelphia to London for 277 dollars. Once you book, it actually costs almost 666 dollars! Tod Marks, "Spirit Airlines promotes flights that cost as a little as nine dollars! But to qualify you have to join its nine-dollar club, which costs around sixty bucks, and you also may be subject to a lot of additional fees." And those additional fees could include up to 45 dollars for each piece of checked luggage, up to 40 dollars per carry-on, and one to 199 dollars for a reserved seat. Tod Marks, "Now there are ways to get a great deal on a flight. Ideally, you want to book in advance, and never within two weeks of travel." And take advantage of alerts that many airlines and travel sites let you set up to track fares. And time your purchase! Tod Marks, "Experts tell us there really is a best time to book. And that's at 3 PM Eastern Standard Time on a Tuesday. Believe it or not, that's when the greatest number of discount seats hit the market." ."

All of the words
Any of the words
The exact words(phrase)
Fram has erected a building over the Gjøa - the first vessel through the Northwest Passage. Uninteresting, according to the Government, and will not help.
The first ship through the Northwest Passage was the Gjøa in 1906. The crew consisted of Roald Amundsen, Adolf Lindstrøm, Gustav Juel Wiik, Helmer Hanssen, Godfred Hansen, Anton Peder Lund and Peder Ristvedt.
The expedition localized the magnetic North Pole and Amundsen wrote stories about the Inuit people afterwards that people had never read before.
The Fram Museum is today the proud owner of two of history's most important polar ships, namely the Fram and the Gjøa. On the 11th of October, the latter was moved into her new house. Since 1972 it has been discussed that something must be done. And after 40 years it happened. A new protection building is now in place and next year we open new exhibits on the history of the Northwest Passage since the 1400s, there will be a separate airship department and also a corner where we will communicate important information about the High North today. Key issues here are: collaboration with Norway's arctic neighbours, climate change, new shipping routes and fishing.
Let us hope that the authorities will open their eyes and see the importance of Norway's polar history and the preservation of its cultural monuments for future generations.

NIH Myositis Outcomes Workshop
November 9-10, 2001
San Francisco, CA
Co-sponsored by NIEHS, NINDS and ORD, NIH
The NIH Myositis Outcomes Workshop, co-sponsored by NIEHS, NINDS and ORD, NIH, was held November 9-10, 2001, in San Francisco, California. The idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIM) are a heterogeneous group of systemic connective tissue diseases defined by the clinical and pathologic consequences of chronic muscle inflammation. The primary forms of the myositis syndromes: dermatomyositis (DM), polymyositis (PM), and inclusion body myositis (IBM), affect both adults and children. Although the primary focus of myositis research has been on skeletal muscle disease, the frequent involvement of other organs, particularly the cutaneous, gastrointestinal, pulmonary, and cardiac systems, contributes greatly to the morbidity and mortality of the IIM. The DM Disease Activity Collaborative Study Group, and later the International Myositis Outcome Assessment Collaborative Study Group recommended development of validated outcome measures in all forms of IIM in both adults and children, and coordination and facilitation of clinical trials in adult and juvenile myositis. The primary deficiency inhibiting this group from undertaking large multi-center trials in myositis is the lack of validated disease activity and damage indices. For this reason, the first in a series of two workshops were held to address the following: 1. Use of the core set of outcome measures recently identified to develop a myositis disease activity index, a preliminary definition of improvement, and damage index, and 2. to develop consensus on issues related to the general conduct of clinical trials, extend of improvement and damage, development of inclusion and exclusion criteria and appropriate therapy, and recommendations in regard to the trial duration, dropout cryteria, safety assessment, and post-trial evaluations. The synopsis of this workshop will be published.

No other word comes to mind when discussing the world of hit man (John Paul) Keller. Mr. Block had me right here:
"And so Keller measured the overprint on this stamp, and
found himself in agreement with Mr. Bloch and Mr. Mueller.
This was the straight goods, the genuine article. All he had to
do to go home with it was outbid any other interested
collectors. And he could do that, too, and without straining his
budget or dipping into his capital.
"But first he'd have to kill somebody."
It's perfect. This one paragraph is perfection. It embodies the essence, the sheer elegance of Lawrence Block's storytelling– Killer (no pun intended) prose. Lawrence Block never wastes words as he weaves a compelling and sympathetic tale about his favorite kind of character, the anti-hero.
Just when I think Lawrence Block can't get any better, it's oops, he did it again! Gives me the shivers.
Keller is a hit man. Like Kit in Block's luscious and deadly book about a female serial killer, Getting Off, Keller does bad things, but Block imbues the character with heart. He's a thoughtful, sentimental kind of guy. Murderer though he may be, Keller makes me go all warm and fuzzy. And in Hit Me we meet and greet a fascinating supporting cast of characters.
I'm not a reviewer, I'm a reader and a writer. I don't give away plot, so I'll say this – when the book becomes available, pick it up. You won't put Hit Me down until you've read the last sentence.
As an added bonus, in Hit Me, we actually get to spend a little time hanging out with the author, who is himself a philatelist, a stamp collector. Check out Lawrence Block's bookstore and his Keller stamp collection right here.
The cover alone is lick-worthy. My ARC is seriously covered with drool.
Thank you, Mr. Block, for allowing me to preview Hit Me.
Other Keller stories: Hit Man, Hit List, Hit Parade and Hit and Run.

There is
a total of over 223 separate federal, state, local, and private wetlands-related
programs applicable to Illinois. Only a handful of these programs are
regulatory. Most are non-regulatory and incentive-based. These non-regulatory
programs provide private landowners the opportunity to preserve or enhance
wetlands in ways not otherwise required by law. Participation in these
programs is one of the major actions an individual can take to help improve
the status of Illinois' wetland resources (Hubbell et al. 1995).
in non-regulatory programs can cause some of the most immediately-visible,
positive effects on wetland resources. These programs have very diverse
approaches to protecting wetlands. They sponsor a variety of wetland acquisition,
planning, education, restoration, and technical assistance activities.
The relative effectiveness of each practice as a wetlands protection and
improvement mechanism varies with each program (Illinois Department of
Natural Resources 1997).
there are a number of programs providing funding for wetland research
and educational activities, participation in some of these programs is
limited to landowners. Sometimes participation is limited to only those
landowners who already have viable wetlands on their property. A few of
the most popular federal and state non-regulatory programs that directly
interact with landowners and provide incentives or assistance for the
protection, restoration, and/or enhancement of wetlands on private property
are discussed in detail.
Reserve Program (WRP)
Wetland Reserve Program (WRP) The WRP was established in a 1990 amendment
to the NFSA. It is administered by the USDA/NRCS. The objective of the
program is to protect, restore, and enhance wetlands and their functions
on private property through conservation easements and agreements. (U.S.
Department of Agriculture 1997)
There are
three ways landowners may participate in the WRP. They may enter into
permanent conservation easements, 30-year conservation easements, or restoration
agreements. Landowners participating in permanent easements receive a
100 percent federal cost-share for the agricultural value of the land
and the restoration costs. Landowners participating in 30-year easements
receive a 75 percent federal cost-share for the agricultural value of
the land and the restoration costs. Landowners participating in restoration
agreements receive a 75 percent federal cost-share for restoration costs.
Reforestation practices occurring under WRP may also be eligible for a
75 percent state cost-share under the Illinois Forestry Development Act
and the no-cost seedling program. The non-federal portion of all these
programs is the responsibility of the landowner (U.S. Department of Agriculture
There are
five categories of lands eligible for enrollment in the WRP: agricultural
land with restorable wetlands; land adjacent to wetlands; wetlands restored
under federal or state programs; land coming out of enrollment in the
Conservation Reserve Program; and riparian areas. To be accepted into
the WRP, landowners are required to meet five conditions. They must grant
the USDA/NRCS a recordable easement on the eligible land; provide clear
title to the easement area; install restoration practices and manage them
according to a developed, agreed upon plan; provide the USDA/NRCS with
access to the easement area from a public road; and permanently retire
cropland acreage specified by the Farm Services Agency (U.S. Department
of Agriculture 1997).
The USDA/NRCS
determines eligibility for the WRP in consultation with the USF&WS and
IDNR. Acceptance into the program is competitive. Applications that most
cost-effectively protect the greatest acreage of valuable wetlands are
given the highest priorities (U.S. Department of Agriculture 1997).
land is enrolled in the program, the landowner retains the responsibilities
and rights of ownership. The land may be used for a variety of recreational
uses such as hunting or fishing. The landowner, however, is not
required to allow public access to the property (U.S. Department
of Agriculture 1997).
North American Waterfowl Management Plan (NAWMP)
The NAWMP was established in 1993 by an agreement between the Canadian,
Mexican, and United States governments. It is administered in the United
States by the USF&WS. The objective of the program is to maintain and
restore an adequate habitat base for the perpetuation of North American
waterfowl and other migratory species. The program has a long term goal
of enrolling throughout North America six million acres of habitat crucial
to waterfowl survival (Hubbell et al. 1995 and Illinois Department of
Natural Resources 1994).
The NAWMP
provides funds for the acquisition, planning, restoration, creation, and
management of critical wetland habitats. Through joint ventures with non-profit
organizations, it encourages the use of regional plans for wetland conservation
which involve farmers and citizen advocacy groups. It also provides funding
for research on wetland restoration and contamination, wetland status
surveys, and wetland inventories (Hubbell et. al. 1995 and Illinois Department
of Natural Resources 1994).
The USF&WS
determines the eligibility of participants and suitable projects. States,
private groups, and individuals may receive matching grants for wetland
conservation projects through the North American Wetland Conservation
Fund if they further the goals of the NAWMP. Non-profit organizations
participating in the NAWMP in Illinois may also receive funding from IDNR
through the Migratory Waterfowl Fund (Hubbell et. al. 1995 and Illinois
Department of Natural Resources 1994).
for Wildlife
Partners for Wildlife was established in 1987 as a habitat restoration
program for private landowners. It is administered by the USF&WS. The
objective of the program is to increase the amount of habitat, including
wetlands, available for wildlife in the United States.
The program
provides technical assistance and funding to landowners for the restoration,
creation, and management of wetlands and other habitats for wildlife.
Technical assistance is provided by the USF&WS. Funding for on-site construction
is provided by Partners for Wildlife and additional USF&WS funds. Additional
funding is provided in Illinois, through the Illinois Wildlife Preservation
Fund and IDNR's pheasant and migratory waterfowl funds. Landowners may
volunteer their lands for restoration efforts provided they maintain the
restored wetlands for at least 10 years. Eligibility is determined by
the USF&WS in cooperation with IDNR (Hubbell et al. 1995).
Farmland Assessment Act (FAA)
This act was passed in 1977 by the state of Illinois. It is administered
by the Illinois Department of Revenue. The objective of the program is
to offer property tax relief to landowners and farmers for pastures, forests,
open spaces (including wetlands), and other non-intensive uses of land.
The FAA requires the Department of Revenue consider wetlands as open lands
and assess them as such at "fair cash value" instead of as croplands.
To be eligible for tax relief, the area must be a minimum of 10 acres
in size and not in production during the year for which it is being assessed.
Lands enrolled in federal or other conservation programs are eligible
for tax relief under the FAA (Natural Resources Coordinating Council 1994).
Land Wildlife Habitat Program
This program was established and is administered by IDNR. The objective
is to protect, enhance, and develop wildlife habitat, including
wetlands, on private land for the purpose of improving wildlife
populations, soil and water conservation, and quality of life for
Illinois residents. The program assists landowners with plans, field
equipment, plant materials, and labor to develop, implement, and
maintain wildlife habitat management practices that require specialized
training, equipment, or resources which would otherwise be unavailable
to landowners. Eligible lands must be in private ownership and be
a minimum of one acre in rural areas, or one-quarter acre in urban
areas. The acceptance of projects is determined by IDNR (Natural
Resources Coordinating Council 1994).
In addition to these federal and state programs, some local communities
may have separate programs that encourage wetland proteciton.Local governments
may follow the example of the FAA and extend local property tax relief
to landowners who protect wetlands. They may also have acquisition program
that set aside wetlands as parks and open spaces or as sensitive habitat
areas. There may also be local regulatory and zoning ordinances regarding
wetlands as they relate to water quality or stormwater management (IL
Dept. of Natural Resources 1994).
A complete list of all of the wetland-related regulatory and non-regulatory
programs in Illinois can be found in a IDNR publication entitled, "Selected
Wetlands-Related Legislation and Programs Applicable to Illinois.
There is also a free document available through IDNR entitled, "A
Landowners Guide to Natural Resources Management Incentives". This
document contains brief overviews of most of the conservation programs
in Illinois, including those related to wetlands. If persons are interested
in learning more about wetlands conservation program, they should contact
either their local USDA/NRCS District Conservationist, USF&WS field staff,
IDNR District Biologist, or University of Illinois Extension Agent (Hubbell
et al. 1995 and Natural Resources Coordinating Council 1994).

Rudbeckia hirta are wonderful, free flowering daisies in colors from yellow through bronze and mahogany. You can have them for years, but the original plants will only last a few seasons. But wait! The plants self-seed readily, and if you learn to recognize the slightly hairy seedlings and allow a few to develop where you want them, you can have as many as you want for many years.
Prefers fertile well-drained soil. Although drought tolerant, Rudbeckia bloom better with ample moisture. Pinching can produce more compact plants in taller varieties. Allow seeds to fall to assure permanence in the garden. Spent flower heads can be removed if reseeding is a problem. Aging foliage can be cut back to 6" for a flush of new growth if desired.
Our plants are all grown in plantable fiber pots that grow incredibly vigorous plants, eliminate transplant shock, and are 100% biodegradable. They have tremendous advantages over plastic pots.

This is amino acids 101 to 120 fragment of myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG), one of the major MOG B-cell epitopes in transgenic mice. MOG is a potential target antigen of the central nervous system known to induce autoreactive T cell response and demyelinating anti-MOG antibodies in multiple sclerosis (MS) patients. Studies demonstrated that a quantitatively minor myelin protein, MOG, is also strongly encephalogenic in mice, rats, marmosets, and rhesus monkeys, which is highly relevant to MS.

The Bellagio/PopTech Fellows program will bring together four to six individuals from diverse backgrounds for a two-week immersion residency at the Rockefeller Foundation's renowned Bellagio Center on the shores of Lake Como, Italy.

Fellows will explore the extent to which big data and related technology can be used to enhance psychological, social and systemic resilience worldwide. This effort will be creative, interdisciplinary and collaborative – providing an environment where emerging tools, approaches and solutions are viewed as an art as much as a science.
The program is seeking candidates from the fields of data and data visualization, technology, design, art, social and natural sciences, resilience research, and other social domains. A diverse cohort of Fellows will be chosen for their technical and creative excellence and their demonstrated ability to work and think across disciplines.
Candidates may self-nominate or be nominated by someone else. Eligibility details are available on the call for nominations web page.

I realize the bottle nipples have a different flow rate/ age. My question is: what bottle nipple would best simulate the flow rate from breastfeeding? Do I need to upgrade his bottle nipples?

Sun Willows Golf Course
Pasco, Washington
August 17-20, 2004
PASCO, Wash. â Playing in her first career AJGA event, Kimberly Kim of Pahoa, Hawaii, fired a first-round 3-under par 69, setting the womenâs course record at Sun Willows Golf Course. The 12-year-old took advantage of consistent putting, finishing with nines of 36 and 33, and holds a 2-stroke lead in the Girls Division. Jason Kang of Torrance, Calif., carded a 66 to pace the Boys Division.Conducted by the American Junior Golf Association, the I.R.I. Golf Group Tri-Cities Junior at Sun Willows is a 54-hole stroke play event, being held at the Sun Willows Golf Course. The tournament features 120 of the nationâs premier junior golfers, from 15 states and Canada, including 47 players from Washington.Kim, who will be entering the eighth grade, avoided trouble throughout her round and was able to make birdies when she knocked the ball close. She credited her ability to stick her approach shots close to the flag, leaving her with short birdie opportunities. Kimâs birdies came on Nos. 5, 11, 12 and 18.The previous womenâs record at Sun Willows was a 71, which Kim broke, thanks to a couple of clutch saves.âMost of my putts were short,â Kim said. âOn No. 11, I was able to chip-in from the rough, and then on No. 12, I made a six-foot putt for birdie. I tried to stay away from the out-of-bounds throughout the round,â she noted.Kimâs only trouble during the first round came on No. 9. She hit her drive into the trees on the 361-yard par-4 and was forced to chip out. She bogeyed the hole and made the turn at even-par. Kim would continue to play out of the rough throughout the back-nine, but she was able to make par saves and sink her short putts."I donât want to do bad tomorrow,â Kim said. âThere are two more days of play, and I want to continue to play well.âTrailing Kim, after shooting first-round 71s are Amber Lundskog of San Diego, Calif., and Sarah Thead of Poway, Calif. Both players sit two-strokes back after the first day. Grace Woo of Burbank, Calif., shot an even-par 72 and sits alone in fourth place.Kang began his day slowly, but he calmed down after making a birdie on No. 5 and continued from there.âI didnât feel comfortable off the tee,â Kang said. âThe key to the course is to keep it in bounds and that is what I was able to do. The birdie on No. 5 got me relaxed and all my nerves went away,â he said.Kang leads a group of players including Joel Dahmen of Clarkston, Wash., Andrew Patipaksiri of Cypress, Calif., David Lipsky of La Canada, Calif., and Matthew Pierce, Jr., of San Juan Capistrano, Calif. All four players shot first-round 68s and sit two shots back.

Product Manager vs. Business Analyst
In certain companies, mostly those that have an IT heritage (see http://www.svpg.com/blog/files/moving-from-it-to-product-organization.html), there may be an additional role somewhere in the product organization either in product management or in the product development organization that may be called 'Business Analyst.'
This is not to be confused with the Business Analyst role in product organizations where the person is responsible for analyzing the business metrics and analytics. I¹m referring to a very different role here.
In IT organizations (those doing either internal software or custom software) 'business analysts' are often responsible for the gathering the detailed product requirements.
Imagine a typical custom software project, where the customer might be someone like an HR manager needing some sort of benefits related application. There may be a handful of IT developers that are available to code, but who is it that translates the HR manager's business needs into something the developers can build? In an IT/custom software organization you almost never have product managers, so there¹s a need for someone to do this requirements capture / requirements definition role. One common term for this role is 'Business Analyst' and in fact the term and role has been around for more than 30 years.
The problem arises when this IT/custom software model is inserted into a product software organization, which typically has the role of product manager responsible for defining the product.
The first reaction of most product managers brought into such an organization is to try to understand who are these people and aren't they doing essentially the same job that I'm supposed to do?
This is especially common if the engineering organization has grown attached to their business analysts and lean on them heavily for the detailed product requirements.
Unfortunately, this is yet another example of the two-people, one-role problem that I have highlighted earlier (see http://www.svpg.com/blog/files/product-management-vs-marketing.html). It's the same basic issue as the 'business product manager' vs. 'technical product manager' split, with all the same pitfalls.
To be clear, I¹m against this split in either form. Each product (or product area) needs that clear owner that¹s accountable and responsible for everything from high-level objectives to the details of the user experience.
The good news is that often these business analysts have the potential to be excellent product managers.
One exception to this is when the business analyst is not actually capturing the customer requirements, but instead they are documenting the internal systems design (aka internal spec). Occasionally I find the business analysts really playing this internal documentation role. I think there are other issues with that, but in this case it really has to do with how the engineering organization wants to operate, so it¹s outside of the scope of product management.
If you are a product software organization, and if you have business analysts trying to split the responsibility of product definition with the product manager, I'd encourage you to take a hard look at how the roles are defined and staffed in your organization. Identify the true product managers, and empower them to own product definition completely, from the high-level to the details. Clear ownership and clear accountability.

Think. Write. Share. by DChristopher 02.06.12 Galvanize Press
For all children everywhere, but especially for the millions in slavery.
I am one of those people who likes to live in a bubble, to think that everywhere in the world all children are nurtured, loved and protected. That their needs are met. They are free to run and play and given opportunities to learn. That they are encouraged in their giftedness and have all the cuddles they need. That they enjoy a warm bath and meal at night, a clean bed to sleep in. Maybe even on Fridays, a treat and movie night. Where children have every expectation that if they work hard at school, they can pave the way towards a secure economic future.
But Corban Addison popped my bubble, by stealth. The line that hooked me was, 'Behind every novel is a story—a story of a writer captured by an idea that will not let him go.' I read on out of interest in the writer's process and was confronted with the grim reality of millions of children. It's haunting. But more than that, it is important.
I read an interview with Marilynne Robinson once where she said something to the effect that the greatest challenge is to recognise an issue and write about it in real time, as it is happening. That's what made To Kill A Mocking Bird so controversial and powerful. Harper Lee wrote about racism in the south at the same time as Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat and the civil rights movement was born. It is confronting to read about the injustice faced by characters you care for, knowing that the issue is contemporary and you can choose to do something about it.
That is what Corban Addison does in his book, A Walk Across The Sun. He confronts us with ugly issues that are happening right now through the story of two sisters, orphaned by a tsunami, who go in search of help and are, instead, abducted by human traffickers.

Ganesh will represent a group of angel investors to make investments of $50,000 and $5 million. In addition to the seed capital, Ganesh will provide management advice and operational resources to the startups it funds.
Prior to co-founding Ganesh Capital, Marc Nemer was the chief executive of Cole Real Estate Investments Inc. (NYSE: COLE), which he took public in 2013. The company was acquired by American Realty Capital Properties (Nasdaq: ARCP) in February, at which time he left the company. The Nemers moved to Boulder in February, and initially are working out of their home.
Marc Nemer said Ganesh will have the ability to make decisions quickly, which he believes is imperative to the long-term success of the companies funded.
"Like Ganesh, the ancient symbol representing success and the removal of obstacles, we aim to inspire our business partners to think big and think profitably, to embrace new ideas and suggestions, and to concentrate and be focused on business execution," he said in a prepared statement. "We view the companies we invest in as partners, because by working together toward common goals we can all prosper and flourish together."
Emily Nemer added, "We believe success in business can be, and should be, enjoyable. Life is short and precious, which is why it is so important to make a positive difference in business and work with people that you genuinely like, trust and mutually respect."
She has held various finance- and wealth-management positions with a Fortune 200 company. She also has worked with a startup specializing in digital marketing, and also launched business of her own.

Hi everyone. My ds is 3 months old and has been choking and coughing at the breast but not at the beginning of the feed. He is extremely gassy and seems uncomfortable so I keep thinking that I have an oversupply. He is getting over rotovirus and I think he may be teething too. He's always been gassy and uncomfortable but I feel full a lot right now even after he eats. Does this sound like os or oald? I wanted to try block feeding but I tried it in the past thinking I was overproducing and I then felt like I had lost a lot of supply. So now how do I know if I would be overproducing and try this block feeding? I want to make bfing a little easier for him. He had also some mucuous in his stool and it was green and explosive but doesn't have that all the time. Could that be something I ate? Trying to make my lo feel better. I feel so frustrated so sorry about the lengthy note. Thank you

If the Knicks get to ten games over .500 in games played without him
... 5 games over .500 in games played without him
... get to .500 in games played without him
No matter how much they win or lose they're already better.
Just coincidence/bad luck that its happened for the 4th time in his career, should change his #to 13
Pfft you know nothing about basketball, he is and always will be Starbury so **** all you haters.
Go to 4:44
quoted from my man Spirit of Truth, "if I say I'm God then I guess you have to take the side of Satan, huh motha****a?, its not a competition its a COOPERATION!!!"
Basically, that team had a superstar PG and expiring contracts with crafty veterans and draft picks. You have to be a complete Isiahsexual to like what we have now over what we had. We have no future with this team, young is just an adjective. Give me cap space, better winning, lottery draft picks, and smart veterans over dumb, overpaid to long term deals, almost untradable, underachieving, poor work ethic, out of shape, "young", one dimensional with zero ability on defense losers.
knickslover, give up your mission of trying to take away as much credit as possible from Marbury. Every fact someone drops on you, all you do is the same thing over and over...Lee says something nice about Steph, you say he didn't mean it. Marbury leads the NBA in assist one season, you say it doesn't count, Marbury leads this team to the playoffs, you say it didn't matter.
Just give up already, your "point" is beaten up and old and will never prove any fact that has been stated about Marbury wrong.
The very fact that you are constinently criticizing Marbury is proof beyond any shadow of a doubt that you are an Isiahsexual. You should be torchered for defending Isiah, thats like stealing from your mother or father.
Gms, coaches, players may change but as long as Dolan is in charge the results will stay the same.
This is the same shmuck that didnt watch the Knicks last year.
What I want is a team of players like Lee, Crawford, and Balkman but with a wider range of and greater degree of skills.
Lee, Crawford, and Balkman work hard, are very professional, accept their roles without making any noise even if things aren't exactly the way they want them to be etc.... They are "team first" players and first rate representatives off the court too. Unfortunately they aren't all stars.
Geez. This argument is still going on? I want no part in this...
Can't we all just agree that this is a stalemate and stop talking about Marbury?
The Knicks already kicked him to the curb (Francis and Penny Hardaway style), so none of us will probably ever see him with a Knick jersey again.
He doesn't want to be here anyway. When he was asked if he could play through the injury, or whatever is wrong with him, he smirked and said "No Comment!".
Phantom injury or not, he's already moved on from the Knicks in his head , and I think its time for us to do the same....
this aint no stalemate, it was a victory for team Starbury a long time ago. Im finished with this arguement and all other starbury arguements. Team Starbury came with better stats, facts, analysis, and details. This thread should be locked up because its over. When you see a video like the one posted below that means its over. I refuse to call this a stalemate, this arguement was over by the time we got to page 5.
Im waitin for sumone to start another thread talkin trash about Marbury. Team Starbury will once again as we seen 4 or 5 times now finish off the haters with a kimbo slice. Haters dont waste your time posting here. If you wanna get my attention start another thread with what you call a controversial arguement so yall can get shut down and kimbo sliced or Deboed again.
lmaoo, team starbury, lmaooo
i like it!!
God damn Jets, can they just stop playing so that we can have a New England and Green Bay final. Stupid jerks.

Spree's a mess. To this day I can't believe he turned down that, what was it, $21M contract? Electrifying baller, but a complete misfit.
[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]According to The Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel, former Knick Latrell Sprewell was arrested on New Year's Eve for disorderly conduct -- he was allegedly playing his music too loud.
The newspaper reports that police received two complaints about the music within an hour Monday afternoon, and had received prior complaints in recent months. No other details were available.
Sprewell played for the Knicks from 1998 to 2003. He is perhaps best-known for choking current Nets interim coach P.J. Carlesimo at a practice in 1997, which led to a 68-game suspension.
Real sad to see how the rest of his life is playing out.
I love him, but don't understand a lot of his decisions. His reason for turning down the money seems like a big joke he planned, but some other things that went down after his career makes it's hard to not believe it was legit.
Still one of my favorite Knicks.
Sig made by Sons of Thunder
Nice player - not a bright guy imo . Turn down 7mil a year on the downside of your career
i was half expecting drug and fire-arm charges, not sure how "he was allegedly playing his music too loud" is so sad
I guess he got mad when he found out that PJ Carlesimo became a head coach again.
Humility is a virtue and pride is a vice.
How is his life sad?? He got arrested for loud music and perhaps mouthing off to the cops. Other than that, what other stuff has he been through post-NBA that's been sad? Not ike he's broke on some MIL street corner or becoming a joke on some reality show.

An absolutely disgusting and dirty album. Love it. It's the musical equivalent of swimming in a pool of corpses. Except the 'pool' is a morgue which you filled yourself. And instead of 'swimming' you're dissecting everything in site with huge rusty bonesaws and scalpels. And you're loving every bit of it.
True. Fucking. Goregrind/Grindcore/Death metal/ whatever everyone is calling it these days.

Broughton dairy's production may be shrinking
A partial loss of dairy business with a national retailer may result in less milk production for Broughton Foods in Marietta.
But that does not necessarily mean there will be layoffs at the plant, according to a spokesman for Dallas, Texas-based Dean Foods, which owns the Broughton company.
Jamaison Schuler, senior manager of corporate communications for Dean Foods, said Thursday that a loss of some business with the national chain was part of the company's annual report for 2012, which was released on Wednesday.
The chain has a store in Marietta as well as several others in the Mid-Ohio Valley, although Schuler wouldn't confirm the retailer or whether all local locations would no longer carry Broughton products.
"We did lose a portion of a customer's volume due to strategic decisions by the customer and pricing discipline by Dean Foods during a recent regional bidding process. Dean Foods retained a majority of the customer's private-label (house brand) milk business," Schuler said. "But some of our facilities may not process the same volume of milk they have processed before."
He noted Dean Foods has 75 dairy plants across the U.S., and all are suppliers of the national retail customer involved.
Schuler said the customer had decided to diversify its product offerings, and Dean Foods respected that decision.
"Broughton Dairies is one of many Dean Foods brands across the country, and the impact of the lost volume as a result of this process will be realized in different geographies," he said. "The specific impact is still being determined, and though we have a high-level plan, it's premature to speculate about the specific impact to the Broughton Foods operations."
There have been rumors that layoffs could be coming at the Broughton plant due to the expected reduction in milk processing for the national retailer.
Cutler resident Alice Bauerbach had heard from a friend that Broughton employees may be laid off because of the national retailer's actions.
"I would like to know why," she said. "This is taking jobs and business out of our area."
Schuler would not comment on any rumors about the Broughton plant, "But I will reiterate that the specific impact on our plants is still being determined," he said.
The Dean Foods annual report to investors released Wednesday did mention the anticipated closing of 10 percent to 15 percent of the company's plants, as well as eliminating a significant number of distribution routes to bring costs under control, according to Dean Foods Chief Executive Officer Gregg Tanner.
But Schuler said at this time there has been no determination of which of the company's facilities would be affected.
Dave Broughton, general manager of Broughton Foods in Marietta referred all questions to Dean Foods officials.
Broughton Foods is a leading dairy operating in regions of Ohio, West Virginia, Kentucky and Virginia. With home offices based in Marietta, Broughton is a full-line dairy distributing an expansive line of products including a wide variety of milks, premium and homestyle ice cream, novelty ice cream, juices and fruit drinks, cottage cheese, sour cream and chip dip. Broughton Dairy was founded in Marietta in 1910. The company has about 230 employees.

Love it! Maybe the mood is old-meets-new? With the old book and the old Coke bottle (ah, the pre-plastic days...), juxtaposed (is that the right word? only one I can think of right now) by the NEW Miu Miu shoes that sort-of have a futuristic-y feel to them.
Also the shoes themselves, which have the futuristic black shape on top of what (I think) seems to be a vintage-beige-ish pattern on the bottom.
Just the very, VERY, VERYVERYVERY amateur thoughts of someone totally new to this stuff.

yep, looks kinda vintage to me too. throw in a little sand, add some sunglasses and a straw hat - Zing - you can feel the breeze. and even the sun, 'cause all these different colours create a somewhat kaleidoscopic effect.
your tableau could very well illustrate a background scene from "Bananafish", though with these shoes nobody would stay in the background for too long, i guess ^__^

Area homeowners being warned of possible scam
Homeowners in the La Crosse area are being warned of a possible scam.
A homeowner in the Town of Farmington in northern La Crosse County says two men posing as surveyors asked to gain access to her property.
Once on the land, they started acting suspicious. While one of the suspects convinced the homeowner to show him the lot lines, another entered the home and went through drawers. They left without taking anything, but the homeowner called police.
Authorities wanted to get the word out and remind people that scam artists will try anything to make a buck.
"There is a lot of creativity in the criminal mindset and people come up with different schemes all the time and people need to be aware of different things that could come up and if it seems suspicious, there's a good chance it is, contact law enforcement," said La Crosse Conuty Deputy Marte Peterson.
Both men were white males in their mid 20's. They were driving a large SUV. If you come in contact with these men or any suspicious behavior, you can contact the La Crosse Co. Sheriff's Department at 608-785-9629.
