I don't understand what my body is doing! I understand milk production is about supply and demand. However, the demand hasn't lessened, but my supply has dropped by about 4-5 oz per day.
My dd is 8.5 months old. I dual pump 3 times a day and usually got about 8-10 oz per session total (I also nurse her 3-4 times a day during the week and every 2.5-3 hours during the weekend--she seems v. satisfied when nursing). Now I average about 4-7 oz per pump session. The drop started suddenly last weekend after I had a 24- hour stomach virus. The virus lasted Sunday through Monday, and by Tuesday I noticed I wasn't pumping as much as usual. I figured I was just having a bad day. But the streak continued. I figured if the low supply was due to illness, it would eventually ramp up, but it hasn't.
This is very upsetting because I am struggling to make (4) 4-oz bottles to send to daycare. I've started drinking mother's milk tea three times a day. I also added a 4th pump session in the evening to supplement my supply. I am really upset because I have come this far without any problems and I feel like I am being betrayed by my own body. Is there something else I could be doing to up my supply?
One other thing--I once read somewhere that some woman experience a temporary drop in supply at 9 months. Is this true? Could this all be temporary?
Of course--this could all be due to an aging breast pump (Ameda Purely Yours using for 7.5 months now) too. But I think I will take this question to the pumping forum to see if anyone had a similar experience
Thanks all for listening to my rambling--this is so upsetting. My fear is my supply will keep dropping off until I no longer have milk for my baby (irrational I know but still nags at me). BF has become such a special time for me and my baby girl and I'd hate for it to have to end in any way, shape, or form. I especially don't want to have to start supplementing with formula.

Smart Phone Help?
Hey Folks,
I need help. First, I don't use a cell phone. I have one for emergencies. Probably use 10 minutes per year. It is just a pre-paid phone.
I need a smart phone, probably an I-Phone to test QR codes in the shop. Maybe an I-Pad would do it. That would be preferred because I could use it at home where we do have a wireless router. I will need to scan a QR Code next to a item, then make sure it takes me to our website and to a specific page. I don't want to pay for service from Verizon, AT & T or Sprint unless I have to. The phone would only be used in our building for testing. We do not have a wireless router in the building. I ran thousands of feet of cat 5 wire myself when the building was built.
So, can I use an I-phone or I-pad without using a service by simply installing a wireless router? I guess I could turn the router on when I needed to do some testing, then shut it down.
I would really appreciate your help. I know absolutely nothing about smart phones. And, I don't want to use one for anything other than testing. If an I-Pad would do the job it would be multi use.
Thank you in advance for your help.

You will need a local-wireless network to access the internet or to access your store's PC/server. You can utilize bluetooth; but, I find it very unreliable more than 40 feet away. You can buy an unlocked cellphone on Ebay that has the barcode scanning capabilities and that you will not have to use a service to utilize.
Just borrow a wireless router and set up a home/business network. Once you have it established; set up your remote device to connect to this network via the network's settings(name, SID, etc.).
Check out this website for some great products. I used to utilize many of their RFID products back in the day.
To me; it sounds like you need a mobile inventory device/system that incorporates your current system.
I hope this helps...

Hi Shawn,
You are very helpful to me and all of us. Thank you for your comments. I think we are going to use an I-Pad as the testing device. Our IT guys in Alcoa can plug in the wireless router in the right spot. We have a full T1 and the modem is like none I have ever seen. Maybe the router can be plugged into one of the network jacks or in the patch board at our server.
You are right, we need a mobile inventory device to access our POS system. I know that can be done but I don't know at what cost. Our POS software only allows 5 users at once in the configuration we have now. Two cash registers leave us only 3 for everyone else who is not ringing up an order.
We need to talk sometime. I will meet you wherever you say. I want to hear about this boat business. I've done startups and acquisitions. I love to discuss business plans and models.
Thank you for all of your help for me and the members here.

By Kevin Wilson: Freedom New Mexico
I wanted to shuffle. My music player wanted to click and whir. These things never end well.
And so, I prepare to deal with the death of what has been one of my best friends over the last three or so years. Yes, a music player may not actually be my best friend, but it beats out a lot of the people currently on my MySpace or Facebook lists.
How many MySpace friends religiously go with me to the gym and sing to me while I lift half of the weight I'm supposed to and then rest for twice as long as recommended?
How many of my Facebook friends go the extra mile and jog with me, allowing me to listen to the latest ESPN podcast where Red Sox fan Bill Simmons and Yankee fan John O'Connell debate the finer points of why the Yankees failed to get Johan Santana when they had the perfect chance?
And I'd be hard-pressed to find a college friend who would drive cross-country with me and give me a side-by-side comparison of the Temptations' "Just My Imagination" and the Boyz II Men version that followed it decades later.
I found a way to download ridiculous YouTube videos and convert them to player size, so I can point out the hilarity of the literal version of "Total Eclipse of the Heart" or the college kids who reshot Journey's "Separate Ways" video and matched the now-ridiculous wardrobes.
I've been able to compile photo albums on my player, so I can show people how ridiculous I look with facial hair, or how good I'd look if only I could keep off those 10-15 pounds.
The only thing I don't do is download movies — because that's a waste of time.
But all those possibilities seem to be coming to an end with my current media player, a small white box with only half of its 30 gigabytes filled. I heard the click and whir on Sunday night as I listened to some pre-slumber music, and Googled the symptoms later.
Diagnosis: Fatal. I have no idea how much time I have left with this friend. The only thing I know is that I have no problem calling it my friend.
And I'm proud to say it. I don't find it all that ridiculous to treat my media player as a friend. I mean, I know at least two female friends who have names for their car, and a co-worker who hasn't named her car but does say, "All I know is the car is a she."
A car's gender is a conversation for another day, but we make our technology such a part of our lives it feels natural to personify it.
I guess the only things left to do are save up money for my next player, plan out a name for the new player and be eternally thankful that a dying media player is the worst thing to happen to me lately.
But the new player with a name isn't coming until the current one without a name clicks and whirs for the last time. Call me cheap. I prefer to think of myself as being a friend for life.

My lo is almost 10 weeks and showing all the symptoms of OS/OALD - super gassy, 8+ explosive mucousy greenish diapers per day, very fussy and uncomfortable, very high weight gain, coughing and choking at feedings, etc...
We tried block feeding for 2 weeks and didn't see major improvements. Now we rented a baby scale as a last ditch effort to figure out what is going on. It seems after tracking feedings for a few days that I have an oversupply issue on the left side only. The problem is that baby can't get enough on my right side alone most of the time, even if he nurses for 30 minutes and he get super frustrated. I do compressions, etc...
This AM, he got 2.8 oz on the right side and was satisfied
Next feed (2.5 hours later), got 1.4 oz on the right side and wouldn't latch anymore on that side but was still hungry. Left side was really full so I pumped 2 oz quickly and put him to that side and he nursed another 1.4 oz and was satisfied so took 2.8 oz total
Next feed (2.5 hours later), ate 1.4 oz on the right and same as previous feed. Was trying to get him down for nap so didn't pump left first, gave him left size and he nursed another 6 oz! Was still feeling full on that side when he was finished so he probably got mostly foremilk. Blah - I'm anticipating another super gassy night with multiple diaper blow outs after that feed.
This is typical - he gets a feed of 7-8 oz and then ends up very gassy, uncomfortable, etc... Last night, he was up 10 times crying in pain from gas!
Please help me fix this problem... My husband wants us to just switch to formula but I really want to keep breastfeeding.

Leahy should end blue slipsApril 03,2014The New York Times said the following in an editorial:
The job of federal judge for the Eastern District of North Carolina has been vacant for
more than eight years, one of the longest vacancies of 83 on the federal bench around the country. In June, President Barack Obama nominated Jennifer May-Parker, a federal prosecutor, for the position, but she hasnt even received a vote in the Senate Judiciary Committee because Richard Burr, the states Republican senator, is blocking her.
The strange part is that Burr himself recommended her for the seat in 2009. But now hes changed his mind and wont say why, exploiting an archaic Senate tradition to make sure Obama cant fill that vacancy.
That tradition, known as the blue slip, gives senators the ability to block any judicial nomination in their state, no explanation necessary, before it even reaches the stage of a committee hearing never mind the Senate floor. Theres no formal rule enshrining this tradition, and the committees chairman, Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., could end it tomorrow. But he has inexplicably clung to the practice, preventing worthy nominees from being confirmed and allowing petty Republican politics to reduce Obamas influence on the bench.
If a home-state senator wont return a blue piece of paper agreeing to a judicial nomination, Leahy wont give the nominee a committee hearing or a vote. Its a form of senatorial courtesy that goes back to 1917 or so, giving senators an anti-democratic power never contemplated in the Constitution.
As with the filibuster, members of both parties have abused the privilege, but only when it suits them. When Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, was the chairman of the committee during the presidency of George W. Bush, he would allow nominations to proceed over the objections of both home-state senators, as long as the president consulted with them first.
Leahy has not the done the same for Obama and his nominees, thus undercutting the important Senate rules change in November that prevented a minority of senators from blocking any executive nomination. Blue slips, or the lack thereof, have held up 11 judicial nominees; there are also 30 vacancies with no nominees because it is clear that a Republican senator would object.
The administration has been reduced to nominating a few unpalatable judges in the hopes of cutting deals. Texas has nine court vacancies, but its two senators wont work with the White House on any nominees.
It doesnt have to be this way. Leahy claims that the Senate will always defer to home-state senators. But if he were to eliminate the practice, he would force senators to raise their objections publicly.
Now they hide behind a procedure that allows them to block able nominees because they want one of their cronies to get the job, or dont want liberals or minorities on the bench or are afraid that any appearance of collaboration would rile the tea party.
Senators with real complaints should state them on the floor and hope to persuade a majority. At the moment, unfortunately, Republicans believe they have a serious chance of regaining the Senate in November, and they seem to have no interest in approving any of Obamas judicial nominations through the end of his term. Thats an abuse of the system, and Leahy is running out of time to stop it.MORE IN CommentarySure, you can buy your uncle a necktie that he wont wear, or your niece an Amazon certificate...

For the fish: cod, flour, beer. For the chips: potatoes, salt. For both: vegetable oil, a lemon wedge, and malt vinegar.
Laura Davis instructs us to peel the outer edge of the spuds, but leave a cap of skin on top and bottom for crisp ends after frying.
Her instructions are simple: cut the potato into 1/2 inch slabs for starters.
Then cut lengthwise in 1/4 inch slices for even, rectangular fries.
A quick soak in salt water removes some of the potatoes' starchiness -- which helps them become all they can be in that bath of hot oil.
After their soak, be sure to dry the potatoes well on paper towels or dishcloths -- wet potatoes are dangerous to deep fry!
Meanwhile, we prepared the fish batter: as simple as pouring beer into flour and salt.
Just a quick stir -- a few lumps are fine.
Here's a cool trick: Laura Davis puts just a quarter-cup of flour into a plastic bag and uses it to coat the fish before dipping in the beer batter. It's mess-free and results in thicker breading, too.
After a turn in the IPA-fragrant batter, it's time to fry.
These french fries are twice-cooked: the first dip is meant to cook the potatoes through without browning.
Then after a quick rest, they go back in for their final browning. Don't forget to sprinkle them with salt afterward!
It's important to regulate your oil temperature so the fish doesn't brown before cooking all the way through. This piece looks about right.
Fish and chips, the original pub food.
A bevy of spices join the olive oil and potatoes for the fries, and the dipping sauce is just sriracha and mayonnaise.
To cut the potatoes, we first sliced them into planks.
Then cutting those lengthwise into long, irregularly-shaped fries was a snap.
After a quick toss with olive oil and a spice mix of chili powder, tumeric, mustard powder, oregano, and coriander, the fries emerged from the oven crispy and browned.
Okay, watch closely -- the dipping sauce is complicated. First, mayo and sriracha get acquainted in a bowl.
Start stirring...
Boom. Not so complicated, after all.
Fries, meet spicy mayo: dip, repeat. Try to share.

text: Kiya, in my experience on other message boards I have come to realize that posters like yourself who are so vehemently against a particular GM, coach or player are a waste of time to debate with. We will have to agree to disagree on this one. I for one am not losing any sleep over losing Landry Fields. He was a nice player for us in his rookie season but regressed badly last season. I am confident that the Knicks will be able to replace his production without much trouble. What I am concerned about is Shump's rehabilitation like you mentioned (which is a legitimate concern). I have no concerns about this GM, to me he has proven he knows what he's doing.

AAII's Guide to the Top Investment Web Sites, 9th Edition, 2005
The Web has become one of the top resources for individual investors, with sites that contain timely and useful financial and investment data, research and other information, often at little or no charge. From stock and market statistics to financial and retirement planning calculators, there is something of value to every individual investor. Making your way through the maze of Internet sites can lead to plenty of dead endssites that are purely promotional, with little or no useful information, or even worse, pure junk. In addition, some sites charge a hefty fee for access to useful information. Finding the value through this maze without a guide can result in an enormous investment of your time.
AAIIs Best of the Net guide is designed to allow you to go directly to the most useful investment-related Web sites. The AAII editors have spent many days scanning and researching various sites. This 13th edition of our guide features the sites we have rated as Best of the Net for the most common investment needs.
|Click here to view the Top Web Sites.
This year, we present our findings in a new, easier-to-use format. The first section presents the Best of the Net sites that we have determined for each major subject area. The second section is an alphabetical listing of the individual sites, with more information on the individual sites, why we like them, and how to find information within each site. To facilitate use of the guide, AAIIs Web site at www.aaii.com presents the top sites with hyperlinks directly to each site, along with an illustrative screen shot.
The Best of the Net Ratings
AAII awards a Best of the Net rating to sites that provide investment information or service that, in our view, is both useful and substantial to individual investors and available either for free or for a reasonable price.
Most sites listed here provide the information or service that we are reviewing free of charge. Some offer basic information for free and charge various rates for more in-depth data or expanded services, such as real-time quotes. In the alphabetical listings, we show the lowest and highest rates to give you a general idea of the range; visit the sites for complete details on pricing. Where fees are charged, we note which sites offer a free trial.
Sites that provide advisory services for a substantial fee are not covered as these are geared toward institutional investors and highly sophisticated investors. Other types of sites not included here are covered in other AAII venues: broker sites are investigated annually in the AAII Journal and in Computerized Investing; and mutual fund family sites are listed in AAIIs annual Individual Investors Guide to the Top Mutual Funds. We also publish a guide to exchange-traded funds each year in the October AAII Journal. You can access these special articles year-round in the AAII Guides area of AAII.com.
Keep in mind that the Web is constantly evolving. Sites can change drastically in a short period of time. Be sure to verify the source of information or provider of a service when using Web sites. And read the fine print on pricing before agreeing to pay for any data or investment service.
Research for this article was contributed by AAII editors John Bajkowski, Jean Henrich, Cara Scatizzi, Maria Crawford Scott, and Wayne A. Thorp, CFA.

Returning to the 'business groove'
The past week was busy again. After I spent so much time hibernating for three weeks, I forgot how to get back into the "business groove."
At the start of the week, Lamont and I traveled to Lewis Center to attend the senior basketball ceremonies at Worthington Christian High School for our granddaughter, Amber.
Yes, she will be graduating this year, and it doesn't seem possible. Where did that tiny tot, who would put her little arms into the air and yell "tut down" while watching football, go? It was the Browns, no less, so she didn't get to yell touchdown very often. Then there were her dance classes, her soccer and softball playing and piano lessons, where she now plays so well.
Everyone was given an almost life-size face of his or her senior student on a stick, and they were to be waved about to cheer on the Warriors.
The first thing I noticed when walking into the school were students wandering around in pajamas, nighties, robes and slippers. And there was even one girl who had a sleeping mask propped up on her forehead.
It was "Wear Your Night Clothes to School Day," and many observed the request, looking very comfy.
Before we got into the gymnasium, Amber and Jessie, both cheering on the varsity team, ran over and gave us big hugs. They always acknowledge us wherever they are.
When entering the gym, my eyes rested on two young men, one in a nice suit and hat and the other in a white shirt and knee-high pants completely covered in red fabric. It sort of reminded me of Spider-Man. They were completely red from head to toe. And I know about the toe part as one was not wearing shoes.
I approached them by wiggling my way through the crowd and asked if they would let me photograph them. They nodded their heads in agreement as it was hard talking with the fabric over their faces.
They were with a student who was writing suggested cheers to perform on a chalkboard.
Papers were passed around called "Silent Night," where the audience was to remain completely silent until the 10th point was scored and then they were to go crazy. And they did.
It was a fun night and good seeing our two granddaughters on the same cheering team. Jessie made the varsity cheering squad in her sophomore year so we didn't have to go to two separate games to watch them perform and dance.

Then on Friday, Jay, Darin and Matthew came down to help us with some needed repairs around the house.
The snow on Saturday kept Matthew busy rolling up three snowballs to make a snowman. Actually, it only snowed about 2 inches, so we cleaned up almost all the snow in the yard for the artwork. When he was done with the rolling, I helped him give character to the frozen creature.
First, we dressed him in Matthew's hoodie, which he took off to provide an outfit and then got cold and ran into the house for another coat. We used his prized Cabella's hat and his gloves to compete the outfit.
Realizing he would need the hoodie later in the day, we took it off and made a granny snow woman. She had a head scarf to keep her ears warm, a fuzzy scarf around her neck and pink gloves. Really classy!
She remained through Sunday when it snowed again and looked very angelic with snowflakes all over the outfit. This was the first snowman in our yard for many years.

I attended the surprise going-away party for Janene Smith, Jefferson County Farm Bureau office administrator. She truly was surprised and had us all in tears along with her.
Mary Ellen Grafton planned the party that was held at her daughter, Joy Sargeant's home. Jeanne Roberts made three wonderful coffee cakes. She won a Holiday Cookbook award with a coffee cake one year, so we know that she is good at it.
There were beer bread cubes to dunk in spinach dip, Buffalo chicken dip with crispy crackers and veggies, focacia bread sandwiches and an apple salad that was to die for. Mary Ellen had nice favors for us to take home with us. It was a nice party and a good time was had by all, except we will miss Janene terribly.
- ????
I went to talk to Flora VerStraten-Merrin, president of the Jefferson County Chapter of the Ohio Genealogical Society, about the project they just completed in their quest to get old records received from the Jefferson County Courthouse digitalized for all the world to see on a free website.
They are so proud to have all the probate packets digitalized and now will go on to the wills and ledgers. This is a tremendous boon for those into genealogy.
All the volunteers from the Church of Jesus Christ Latter-day Saints are so endearing. I noticed when I took a picture of the group that couples Albert and Lynn Mooney and Bill and Beverly Pace were holding hands. They are wonderful to talk to and willing to explain things I did not know. And I made the mistake of using the word geology rather than genealogy to the Mooneys. Lynn had a big grin on her face when she said in a kind way that she was interested in rocks as well, but this was genealogy. If there is a mistake to make, I will do it!
An open house will be held from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. March 11 at the Church of Latter-day Saints in Wintersville.
They will have 5-minute videos on how to access the program and how it came about. The public is invited to be there.

A Theory‑Based Approach to the Relationship between Social Capital and Communities of Practice pp257‑264
Look inside Download PDF (free)
There is almost a consensus that tacit component of organisational knowledge is of critical strategic importance because, unlike explicit knowledge, it is both inimitable and appropriable. Because of its characteristics, organisational tacit knowledge is usually created and shared through highly interactive conversation and shared experience, i.e., through a socialisation process. At the firm's level, the effectiveness of the socialisation process depends on the firm's social capital. At group level, it has been argued that communities of practice form the basis of a firm's ability to create and share tacit knowledge. Therefore, investigating the relationship between social capital, communities of practice and individual human action is crucial in understanding the dynamic of cross level knowledge creation and utilisation and in understanding organisational learning process. In order to study this relationship Giddens' theory of structuration is used as it provides an integrating meta‑theory that recognises social reality as constituted by both subjective human actors and by objective institutional properties and attempts to articulate a process‑oriented approach that relates the realm of human action and institutional realm. Based on Giddens' theory a model of the interaction between human action and social capital of the firm is developed. According to this model such interaction is mediated through a firm's communities of practice, which are conceptualised as the means for realising the different types of modality between social capital and human action. Such conceptualisation of a firm's communities of practice as the means for realising the different types of modality between social capital and human action provides a fine‑grained approach to study the impact of their elements, i.e., shared repertoire, mutual engagement and joint enterprise, on the structural, relational and cognitive dimensions of a firm's social capital respectively. In addition, it explicates the duality of firm's communities of practice, namely: they are both the medium and the outcome of collective human action. This model also shows the need for further research in two areas. First is the study of the constraining roles of a firm's communities of practice in creating and sharing organisational tacit knowledge. Second is the study of social capital influencing organisational members in their relation to communities of practice.

The search tools and information retrieval systems on the contemporary Web use keywords, lexical analysis, popularity, and statistical methods to find and prioritise relevant data to a specific query. In recent years, Semantic web has introduced new approaches to specify Web data using machine‑interpretable structures. This has led to the establishment of new frameworks for search engines and information systems based on discovering complex and meaningful relationships between information resources. In this paper we discuss a semantic supported information search and retrieval system to answer users' information queries. The paper focuses on knowledge discovery aspects of the system and in particular analysis of semantic associations. The information resources are multimedia data, which could be retrieved from heterogeneous resources. The main goal is to provide a hypermedia presentation, which narratively conveys relevant information to the queried term. The structure describes the related entities to the queried topic and a ranking mechanism assigns weights to the entities. The assigned weights express the degree of relevancy of each related entity in the presentation structure.

Assessing Success Factors of Knowledge Management Initiatives of Academic Institutions — a Case of an Indian Business School pp273‑282
Look inside Download PDF (free)
Effective knowledge management is considered to play an increasingly important role in creating competitive advantage. Knowledge is becoming a driving force for organisational change and wealth creation. As a result, organisations are at varying stages of planning and implementing knowledge‑based strategies in efforts to improve their competitiveness, productivity, organisational effectiveness and customer service. However, KM initiatives are both expensive and risky propositions. Financial resources put a ceiling on what can be expended on knowledge activities. There is a huge demand for skilled managers in the global economy, including India. This necessitates a re‑look at knowledge management initiatives in business schools, which can be considered to be knowledge intensive organisations. This paper is a result of an exploratory study that tries to explain the factors influencing the success of knowledge management initiatives in a business school to distinguish itself in the academic market place. A generalised model has been constructed highlighting possible antecedents and consequences of a business school in its quest for becoming a learning organisation. This model is then applied in a reputed business school in India as a test case.

This paper undertakes an ontological analysis of knowledge management systems from two perspectives: Popperian and Heideggerian. Earl's taxonomy of knowledge management schools is used as the proxy for the variety of systems that can be found in practice. The paper takes two contrasting ontological systems to identify generic strengths and weaknesses at the level of the School. The argument is made that many of the issues and difficulties frequently encountered in organisations are unlikely to have managerial or technological solutions as they are ontologically implied by the very systems themselves.

Knowledge Communication Problems between Experts and Decision Makers: an Overview and Classification pp291‑300
Look inside Download PDF (free)
In this article we examine the difficulties of knowledge communication among experts and decision makers. We begin by outlining where and how the communication of expertise from specialists to managers is crucial. We then review theoretical constructs that highlight knowledge transfer problems among experts and decision makers. On the basis of this review and using the results from six focus groups and thirty interviews with engineers and managers, we categorise these transfer challenges into five major groups. We distinguish among expert‑ and manager‑caused problems, reciprocal problems, problems due to the interaction situation and problems caused by the organisational context. These categories can be used to guide research on the micro‑aspects of knowledge transfer. Managers can use these problem categories to identify and reduce knowledge transfer barriers in their interaction with specialists.

The Application of Knowledge Management in Enhancing the Performance of Malaysian Universities pp301‑313
Look inside Download PDF (free)
The government's aspirations of making Malaysia a leading international educational centre in the Asian Region has put a strong pressure on local universities to improve the quality of education they offer. One of the major steps that has been identified by the government to achieve this goal is to enhance the performance of local universities through the application and implementation of an excellent knowledge management (KM) system. An effective KM system requires every academician to practice appropriate management of knowledge in his or her teaching and learning activities, which includes, generating, acquiring, storing and disseminating knowledge effectively to users of knowledge, especially students. A study by the Centre for Academic Development (CADe) of Universiti Putra Malaysia in 2005 found that the level of knowledge management practices in Malaysian universities was merely moderate; and to meet the national aspirations, KM practices need to be developed further from various aspects of structure, facilities and culture among the academic players. The objective of this study is to evaluate the level of practice among the academicians and to determine factors contributing to the effectiveness of knowledge management practices at individual, faculty and university level. Eight local universities, both public and private participated in the study. Factor Analysis was used to determine factors affecting the practices of knowledge management while Multiple Regression Analysis was used to analyse and determine the importance of various variables that will add value, thus improve the performance of Malaysian universities. The results indicate that info‑structure support; infrastructure capacity; info‑culture; and knowledge acquisition, generation, storage and dissemination; are important factors in shaping the KM initiatives. Info‑ structure is found to be the most significant variable. This is consistent with other studies, which confirm that people and cultural issues are the most difficult problems to resolve, but tend to produce the greatest benefits.

The major bottlenecks in expert system development lie within the processes of eliciting and representing knowledge. Knowledge representation schemes combine data structures, and interpretative procedures that enable the extraction of the knowledge embedded in the data structures. A broad spectrum of knowledge types need to be represented, but available representation techniques are not optimum systems since they vary in level of expressiveness and power. Knowledge demands more than the conventional representation structures used for databases and information. This is because information is derived from processing, refining and analysing raw data. The extra refinement, analysis and addition of heuristics to information converts it to knowledge. This paper discusses the major issues in the quest for an efficient knowledge representation technique and assesses the performance and level of usefulness of some of the most successful approaches in knowledge representation.

Knowledge Management in Call Centres pp324‑333
Look inside Download PDF (free)
Call centres, or their contemporary successors contact centres, are the preferred and prevalent way for many companies to communicate with their customers, but perhaps the greatest challenge of running a call centre, is to ensure that customers are provided with the right information in a timely fashion. Knowledge management has a number of practical tools and strategies to meet this challenge but to leverage the potential of these tools organisations must understand how to implement knowledge management especially in their call centre department. This research paper focuses on five main roles of knowledge management namely; knowledge acquisition, utilisation, adaptation, dissemination and generation, while knowledge management is achieved by identifying and managing these roles efficiently in an organisation. The primary data comprises interviews with managers of the call centre department of two largest car makers in Iran. Using case study approach, this research tries to describe and illustrate how participating companies are managing their organisational knowledge in their call centres, which items are supported under their supervision and which items have not been covered.

This article describes a knowledge management (KM) approach conceived from countermeasures targeted at addressing failure factors suggested in the literature. In order to counteract failure factors, the approach combines the technology of knowledge‑based KM systems, with the flexibility and understanding of knowledge facilitators, and the processes of the target community. In the KM system, the approach uses knowledge engineering concepts to represent knowledge artifacts and to enforce managerial responsibilities. By imposing a strict representation format, the approach guides and helps users. It does so by determining what knowledge to contribute, by enabling knowledge collection, and by representing knowledge. The purpose of knowledge facilitators is to complement the limitations of the computer‑ based component by verifying the quality of submitted artifacts and by motivating members to adopt the system. The design and operation of this approach is guided by identifying the processes of the target community and the level of specificity where they are useful. The importance of this contribution is that it offers guidelines to design a KM approach that relies on conclusions from published literature. In addition, it also proposes a means to validate knowledge sharing. A conclusion of this work is that it may be easier to address failure factors of KM approaches when all members of the target community have the same technical goals, are motivated by a common interest, are organized on a flat hierarchy, and are receptive to innovation. In addition, the use of a representation of the community's processes helps standardize capture, guide contributors, and associate existing with new artifacts. This association of artifacts can be used to validate knowledge sharing.

- Abstract
- Framed by the idea that ethnography is a trans-disciplinary praxis, this paper adopts Alan Barnard's framework of the theory as questions, assumptions, methods, and evidence (QAME) to compare how ethnographic praxis is approached across the domains of anthropology, marketing, and design. The companies Intel, Cheskin, and IDEO serve as exemplars for each domain, respectively. Through a content analysis of academic journals and popular media, the paper explores the discursive meanings of ethnography as a 'boundary object' across many domains. The paper concludes with how Barnard's QAME framework can be used to make visible ethnography's multiple meanings so that practitioners can improve interdisciplinary collaborations within organizations and better articulate ethnography's value to business.

Taking care of their own
The Fork in the Road to host fundraising drive for families of Arizona firefighters who lost their lives
By Carl Kozlowski 07/18/2013
Sometimes a funny gag can lead to some seriously good results, and Pasadena's giant Fork in the Road sculpture is a prime example.
Created in October 2009 as a humorous birthday gift for Bob Stane, owner of the Coffee Gallery in Altadena, the sculpture is a replica of a fork that is 20 feet tall and weighs 500 pounds, with its teeth embedded in the ground.
The fork was relocated from its original location near the Coffee Gallery in October 2011 and has since been the hub of numerous charity events at its new location at Fork Plaza at 200 Bellefontaine St., just south of Pasadena's Huntington Hospital.
On Friday and Saturday, the fork will be the location of a fundraising drive for the families of the 19 Prescott, Ariz., firemen who lost their lives while fighting a wildfire on June 30.
Off-duty and reserve firefighters from the Pasadena Firefighters Association, Local 809, will collect cash and checks made payable to the Yarnell Hill Firefighters Fund, with 100 percent of all donations going to the cause.
The collection hours will be from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. Friday and 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday.
"All the events at the fork up until now have provided a need to our community in terms of collecting food, donations and toys for the less privileged," said Phil Coombes, who conceived the idea of using the fork for charity drives. Coombes heads the Fork Foundation, which spearheads these charity campaigns.
"The reason I am putting this event together is because I see a real need to reach out to the families of the firefighters that risked and lost their lives in this horrific fire," Coombes said. "It is important to these families to not only receive financial support but also community and emotional support to help them get back on their feet. By supporting these families, you are also sending a message of support to all the local firefighters that risk their lives on a daily basis to keep us safe."

So far I am highly impressed with these tires! I wasn't expecting too much from a $125 tire, but these have been great! Noise isn't any different from my old set of a/s touring tires and handling is much better. Surprised to see they're made in the US!

He'll chew on it and push the nipple out with his tounge and then once some bm gets in his mouth he'll spit it out. i've tried 3 different bottles, warming the nipple, holding him in the same position...no luck. Anyone have any tips? And if he doesn't want it how long do I wait to BF him? How long should I let him cry? Can I try a sippy cup or is he too young? I have to go back to work in a month and am afraid that he won't take a bottle by then? Thanks, I know this was a lot of questions!

Sewer work begins anew
Federal, state and county officials took part in a groundbreaking ceremony for the $7.4 million Norton-Harding-Jimtown Public Service District Phase II Sewer Extension Project – that will provide services to nearly 300 residents in Randolph County – Wednesday at Leslie Equipment Company near Norton.
"Phase I of this project was started as early as 1986 when the citizens of this area complained to the local, state and federal officials about the raw sewage going into the creeks and streams of this area," Randolph County Commissioner Mike Taylor said at the outset of the ceremony. "Phase I of the project was not completed until 2006 to 2007.
"We are here today to break ground for Phase II of the $7.4 million project that will serve the communities of Norton, Harding and Coalton, and the residents in between. The project also includes improvements for the town of Junior's waste water treatment plant."
Congresswoman Shelley Moore Capito, R-W.Va., spoke of the many benefits the sewer extension project will provide for the area.
"(I) thank all of you for being here today," Capito said. "It shows me that projects like this do not get done by one singular person. It's everybody working together. That is refreshing.
"I have been your representative since 2001 and I really didn't realize until one of the representatives from my office came back with a story of what was happening in this area in terms of sewer. These were graphic descriptions of what was going on. I thought to myself, could this really be going on? It's 2001. I have to say a thank you to Glen Lee, who continued to call my office saying we had to do something about this.
"So Phase I groundbreaking made me realize how very important things that you take for granted are the essentials of building a community and making it a better place," Capito said. "So for the PSD, congratulations to you."
Capito praised everyone who helped make the extension a reality. She pointed out the project will be a boost for the local economy, as most of the work will come from local companies using employees that reside in Randolph and Barbour counties.
"One of the other things I think is really great is the use of local companies like J.F. Allen and Thrasher Engineering," Capito said. "By creating local jobs and using local companies, it keeps people in the area and allows them to stay in the community that they love. I think that's a good way to use the infrastructure dollars.
"Part of the funding for this was from the stimulus package," Capito said. "I voted against this, so people may ask why I am here. I am here because what I fought for at the time is what I thought this project is emblematic of – in that an infrastructure bill should have more than 7 percent infrastructure in it. If it had been double that, or triple that or quadruple that, think of the job creation and the community lives that would have been enhanced. So an infrastructure bill is a jobs bill and we see that with the funds that are here today."
Local officials said the project will improve the quality of life in the area.
"We are excited to provide sewage after all of these years," said Coalton Mayor Jim Rossi. "This is a real plus for the community. Hopefully, it will allow some growth in the area."
"Anyone who lives in rural areas understands the importance of water," said Delegate Bill Hartman, D-Randolph. "Probably no one in this group today that lives in Randolph County has not had a problem with water, if they have water. Some have to treat the water – some have wells that go dry. This is absolutely a very important project.
"I would like to thank the Public Service District and their board for all of the work they have completed. They are the heroes that make these things happen. And it contributes to a better life in these areas."
Delegate Denise Campbell, D-Randolph, said, "This is really a great opportunity. People who do not live in rural areas do not really recognize some of the struggles we face. I think this is so important for the health of our community and its children. I think it's great people are persevering and not taking no for an answer. This will make the communities stronger and give them the basic necessities that every community should have."
Norton resident Carol Edmond attended the groundbreaking and expressed her enthusiasm.
"I am so excited for this addition," Edmond said. "It has been a long time coming and something we have wanted and asked for for quite a while."

People as Books! The first Indigenous Living Library event Hosted at Lauriers Waterloo Campus
By Margo Lee
Mar 31/14
During the week of March 3rd there were many amazing events at the Laurier Waterloo Campus, in celebration of Aboriginal Awareness Week. One of those events was a Living Library, highlighting Indigenous Stories.
What is a living library? It is a library of human books. Each individual volunteered to represent a subject that they either identify with or have knowledge about. The human books were signed out for a half hour each, by students, faculty, staff and community members. One of the comments offered as feedback was, This was exactly what I was hoping it would be. Thanks to all the books for their stories and conversations.
The "Living Library" had a variety of people from our Indigenous communities. Students and guests chose from our collection of 11 human books and "read," (had an interesting, informal 30-minute conversation). People could choose to sign out: Issac Day-Traditional Healer, Melissa Patriquin-Mnaasged Native Child Welfare, Ela Smith-Wholistic Practitioner, Diane Mitchell-Mikmaq Language, Kalin Stacey- Indigenous Ally, Shawn Johnston- Two-spirited, Lila Bruyere-Residential School Survivor, Gus Hill- Indigenous Scholar, Darren Thomas-Indigenous Scholar, Gale Cyr-Elder and Paige Sillaby-Indigenous Student. The Living Library: Indigenous Stories was a group project developed and organized by Wilfrid Laurier University - Master of Social Work-Aboriginal Field of Study (MSW-AFS) students. This project was developed as part of the course: Diversity, Marginalization and Oppression.
Lauriers Waterloo campus library hosted the event on Thursday March 6th. It was a full day event that had great success. Many people signed out the human books and one professor brought her entire class. The Aboriginal Student Centre (ASC) was a wonderful support to the success of the event. The ASC has the intention to bring back the Living Library again next year as an annual Aboriginal Awareness Week event. In addition, the Laurier Library and LSPIRG were also a great support to the success of this event and we are thankful to have such important partnerships.

The Maryland Academy of Sciences and the Maryland Science Center will present the 2013 Annual Outstanding Young Scientist (OYS) award to Dr. Jason S. Kalirai on Wednesday, November 20, 2013.
Kalirai is the James Webb Space Telescope Project Scientist at the Space Telescope Science Institute and an associate researcher at the Center for Astrophysical Sciences at the Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Md. He will share this year's award with Dr. Claire E. Cramer of the National Institute of Standards and Technology.
The OYS award program was established in 1959 and recognizes Maryland residents who have distinguished themselves early in their careers for accomplishments in science. Award recipients are chosen by members of the Maryland Academy of Sciences' Scientific Advisory Council, which provides expertise and content review to the Maryland Science Center in Baltimore, Md.
Dr. Kalirai's research in the study of stellar populations has yielded important insights into the ages of stars in the Milky Way. These efforts increase students' scientific interest and keep the public aware of the scientific advances achieved through the funding of academic research.
Kalirai received a Ph.D. in astrophysics from the University of British Columbia in 2004 and was then selected as a Hubble Fellow postdoctoral researcher at the University of California at Santa Cruz.
Planned for a 2018 launch, the Webb telescope is the successor to the Hubble Space Telescope and is one of the biggest scientific projects happening in the world. It will travel 1 million miles from Earth, past the Moon, to reveal our clearest and deepest images of the universe to date. About once every month, Kalirai visits communities across the country, including many schools, and engages students on the promising future of space astronomy.
Kalirai lives in Ellicott City, Md., with his wife and twin daughters.

Question by : oregon christmas parade attempted bomber – what should happen to this man/boy?
his plan failed but it this story is to be believed, he would have definitely gone through with it. what do you think should happen to people like this? I wouldn't object to a medieval type of justice to be served up in cases like this. he would have wiped out whole families if he had his way.
is his age a mitigating factor? is he the victim of brainwashing? is he mentally ill? or is he just a bad person who deserves the worst suffering imaginable?
to Paul Jackson – there is one important difference between me and them. I would do it as punishment/retribution. they would inflict a medieval act randomly on innocent people they have never met.

Kimberley A. Strassel @ The WSJ:
To win the next presidential race, the GOP will have to understand what went wrong in 2012. To do that, they've got to come to grips with what did, and did not, happen with turnout.
Even as Republicans have engaged in some agonizing over their candidate and agenda, many have sought comfort in the notion that a big part of the loss came down to simple mechanics. President Obama had a stunning Election Day operation, which turned out his base. Mitt Romney's shop, by contrast, failed to get people to the polls. That explanation is soothing because it suggests that, in the future, all the GOP needs is a slicker piece of get-out-the-vote software.
It's also broadly wrong.
The turnout myth comes from a statistic that has been endlessly repeated: Mitt Romney got fewer votes than John McCain in 2008. This isn't quite true (Mr. Romney this week eked past the McCain totals), and in any event it is somewhat irrelevant. The Romney vote count reflects a nationwide voter turnout that was down nearly five percentage points from 2008. What matters is how the GOP did in the battleground states.
And there? Mr. Romney beat Mr. McCain's numbers in every single battleground, save Ohio. In some cases, his improvement was significant. In Virginia, 65,000 more votes than in 2008. In Florida, 117,000 more votes. In Colorado, 52,000. In Wisconsin, 146,000. Moreover, in key states like Florida, North Carolina, Colorado and Virginia, Mr. Romney turned out even more voters than George W. Bush did in his successful re-election in 2004.
By contrast, Mr. Obama's turnout was down from 2008 in nearly every battleground. He lost 54,000 votes in Virginia, 46,000 votes in Florida, 50,000 votes in Colorado, 63,000 votes in Wisconsin. Ditto Iowa, Nevada, New Hampshire, Ohio. The only state where Mr. Obama increased his votes (by 36,000) was North Carolina, and he was still beaten by a Romney campaign that raised its own turnout by a whopping 147,000.
The temptation here is to conclude that Mr. Romney did better than Mr. McCain, just not well enough, while Mr. Obama did worse, just not badly enough. Yes, there is no question the GOP turnout effort could have been improved. Project ORCA, developed and run by the Romney campaign to refine its turnout efforts, was a dismal failure. And the GOP lagged behind the Obama campaign's sophisticated use of technology, in particular social media.
Could better use of these tools have added enough to the Romney totals to eke out victories in key states? Maybe. In the end, it was 334,000 votes—in Florida, Virginia, Ohio and New Hampshire—that separated Mr. Romney from the presidency. Then again, had Mr. Romney succeeded in grinding out a narrow victory, it might also have masked the party's bigger problems.
Because what ought to scare the GOP is this: Even with higher GOP turnout in key states, even with Mr. Obama shedding voters, Democrats still won. Mr. Obama accomplished this by tapping new minority voters in numbers that beat even Mr. Romney's better turnout.
In Florida, 238,000 more Hispanics voted than in 2008, and Mr. Obama got 60% of Hispanic voters. His total margin of victory in Florida was 78,000 votes, so that demographic alone won it for him. Or consider Ohio, where Mr. Romney won independents by 10 points. The lead mattered little, though, given that black turnout increased by 178,000 votes, and the president won 96% of the black vote. Mr. Obama's margin of victory there was 103,000.
This is the demographic argument that is getting so much attention, and properly so. The Republican Party can hope that a future Democratic candidate won't equal Mr. Obama's magnetism for minority voters. But the GOP would do far better by fighting aggressively for a piece of the minority electorate.
And that, for the record, was the GOP's real 2012 turnout disaster. Elections are about the candidate and the message, yes, but also about the ground game. Republicans right now are fretting about Mr. Romney's failures and the party's immigration platform—that's fair enough. But equally important has been the party's mind-boggling failure to institute a competitive Hispanic ground game. The GOP doesn't campaign in those communities, doesn't register voters there, doesn't knock on doors. So while pre-election polling showed that Hispanics were worried about Obama policies, in the end the only campaign that these voters heard from—by email, at their door, on the phone—was the president's.

Hi everyone...not sure if this is a good place to ask this, but I'll give it a try!
I nursed my daughter for 7 months. We stopped nursing over a year ago. Since then I've never stopped having a small amount of leakage, especially with pressure on my breasts or if I'm not wearing a bra (I'm fairly large-chested). What's this all about? Does this just happen to people sometimes, or should I be concerned that something might be wrong?

The Revolution in Medical Genetics and Personalized Medicine - A Symposium
JSPAN (Jewish Social Policy Action Network) and the Katz Jewish Community Center of Cherry Hill, NJ present a symposium titled, "The Revolution in Medical Genetics and Personalized Medicine: Hope for Novel Therapies, Concern for Ethical Use."
At the Betty and Milton Katz Jewish Community Center, 1301 Springdale Road, Cherry Hill, NJ
The mapping of the human genome in 2004, combined with recent understanding of how genes are regulated, has created one of the greatest revolutions in the history of medicine. The ability to individualize prevention and treatment, given an understanding of an individual's genes and the genes of specific tumors or infectious agents, is potentially dramatic. However, the possible ethical and social consequences of this research and how to perform it, as well as its future use, are profoundly challenging. Issues include the economic impact, the choice of who will receive potential therapy, and the possibilities of termination of a pregnancy for what may seem inappropriate reasons, as well as the potential to genetically engineer humans.
The program will be moderated by Dr. Richard Malkin, Chair of the Healthcare and Bioethics Policy Center of JSPAN, who will briefly explain the current status of well- known prenatal genetic tests and amniocentesis, establishing a basic foundation for understanding genes, their purpose, and their regulation. Two renowned medical scientists will then take us to the future:
Dr. Genarosa Grana, Director of the Cooper Cancer Institute, will address the issues presented by the discovery and ability to test BRCA genes and hormone receptors in breast cancer and the consequent individualization of cancer treatment, "Personalized Medicine."
Dr. John Gearhart, Director of the Penn Institute for Regenerative Medicine, will proceed to the amazing possibilities of changing the control of our genes, actual genetic manipulation, ending at the frontier of creating new tissue, "Regenerative Medicine."
These presentations will be followed by a panel discussion, including our two medical scientists and Rabbi Richard Address, Senior Rabbi of M'kor Shalom, who has devoted 33 years of his career to bringing such issues before the public as Director of Caring Community and Family Concerns for the URJ. There will then be ample time for audience questions. The goal is to inform the public about the amazing possibilities of the "Medicine of the Future" in the context of the ethical, social and economic questions that must be answered as we travel to that future. Please join us.
