Glimpse Conference 2013 Takeaways: Systems Of Engagement Need Access To Personal Data
Posted by Michael Yamnitsky on November 1, 2013

We attended the recent Glimpse Conference 2013, where members of New York's tech scene came together at Bloomberg headquarters to talk about social discovery, predictive analytics, and customer engagement.
Our key takeaway from the event: small, real-time data coming from very personal apps like email, calendar, social, and other online services will fuel next-level predictive apps and services. Specifically:
• Better insight doesn't require more data; it needs the right data. Amassing large databases of customer profiles, purchase history, and web browser activity only goes so far, and is costing companies millions, if not billions of dollars every year. Mikael Berner from EasilyDo sees a new opportunity in better utilizing data scattered across personal email indices, calendars, social networks, and file and content repositories that directly indicate customers' plans, interests, and motivations.
• Email, calendar, and location data is a goldmine for predictive analytics. Expedia or TripAdvisor can track web activities to recall a user searched for hotels last November and is likely to travel again this year, but a flight confirmation sitting in email or vacation time logged in calendar is a much stronger indicator of travel plans.
• Small data and big data interact. Real-time data provides immediate context for current activities, while historic logs of big data come into play in predicting what activity will come next. Eric Singley from Yelp mentioned its new "nearby" function that uses real-time data to figure out that it's raining and you're interested in going to the movies. Only then does it tap into big data collected from its larger user base to recommend a theater and predict what you're likely to do after the show.
How do enterprises gain access to these valuable sources of context? It won't be easy but potential providers are emerging:
• New mobile apps. Apps like Google Now, Cue (recently acquired by Apple), Tipbit, and EasilyDo ask users to volunteer their data from online services in exchange for personal assistance in daily activities. (We have a research report in preparation that will profile emerging vendors in this space.) These or other vendors may become independent intermediaries between users and enterprise systems of engagement.
• Major mobile platforms. Apple, Google, Microsoft, Amazon, and Facebook already hold digital assets for predictive analytics through a variety of online service offerings like email, social, and file sync. And they hold digital trust with users, in the form of credit cards on file. They'll follow Google in building proactive assistant apps like Google Now to better engage users, and explore using predictive technologies to play digital matchmaker between their users and a network of partners.
The key will be sharing such personal data between individuals and organizations in a clean and transparent way. Platform and app vendors will provide end-customers with: i) access and control over how their personal data is shared with institutions; ii) override control to share only data highly relevant to the relationship; and iii) the means to deny enterprises direct access to personal data.
How will widespread sharing of personal data impact the CIO and her organization? CIOs will see personal data impacting their:
• App dev teams. They will seek more seamless access to data stored in consumerized apps. There are simply too many services individuals are using today to integrate on a one-off basis. Ink Mobility, for example, gives developers a single API window to access data from many of the most popular online services like Dropbox, Evernote, and Box.
• Enterprise architects. They will build flexible IT systems for the marriage of big data and small, real-time data. Today's servers and infrastructure are ill-prepared for the interplay between high velocity, real-time data and systems of record. Tomorrow's systems will feature rapid analytics and extreme-scale operations on raw data in an affordable distributed data hub.
• Infrastructure and operations pros. They will support the digital self, not just apps and device end-points. Imagine simple task automation for onboarding a new employee: detect a new employee, sign her into Yammer, and add her Evernote account to her new team's shared license. The employee will be treated as a singular IT system.

No. Coconut is not a reimbursable item for FFVP in either a dried or fresh form.
The answer is possibly. Dates are fine to serve for FFVP as long as they are dried and picked from the tree. If the dates were intentionally left on the tree to be dried, then they are considered a reimbursable item because the growers classify the dates as fresh. If the dates are intentional
No. Keep in mind that the appropriate type of produce and portion size will depend on student age and preference as well as the ways you offer fruits and vegetables. The servings offered should be appropriate for the age and consumption pattern of participating children.
The FFVP does not allow dip to be served with fruit.
No. Juice is not allowed as part of the FFVP.
Yes. Fresh fruits and vegetables from USDA Foods and DoD can be used in the FFVP. SFAs can only submit costs incurred on the FFVP claim reimbursement. The entitlement draw down amount cannot be used, but fees, administrative, and delivery costs can be reimbursed with FFVP funds.
Schools may offer only fresh fruits and vegetables.

In December Jean raffled off a 34 year old Doll house to provide Autistic children with a wonderful christmas party. I work for Jean everyday, she is such a blessing. I could go on and on." -Jennifer Albro Hometown Hero's name: Mitch Outlaw

 "My soul mate, my best friend, my lover often goes humbly unnoticed. He is a very selfless man who will drop everything when his family, friends and neighbors are in need. Mitch's passion in life is to serve his country and to be apart of something bigger than himself. He has successfully completed two deployments in the last five years -- Iraqi Freedom and his latest tour in Afghanistan. Mitch is currently an active duty member of the US Army, and has served eight years on the special forces team. He is a great leader, admired by his fellow unit members, and is constantly enrolling in optional training and courses to improve his skills. There is no bar too high -- the sky is the limit for Mitch Outlaw.

Mitch not only serves his country, but also his Tallahassee community. When he was a teenager, he was honored in his boy scout troupe as an Eagle Scout. An American flag was flown over the capital to honor his accomplishments and service. One great act of community service included helping build a pavillion at the Ronald McDonald house for families of abuse victims to enjoy while spending time with their loved ones. He has recently decided he wants to continue to serve his local community by following his father's footsteps and becoming a member of the Tallahassee Police Department -- a truly great honor and service.

Mitch is one of the most outgoing and pleasant people I've ever met. Even when things are down you won't hear him complain. It is Mitch's strength that carries me through each day, as I have been very ill for two years now. Despite having to quit work and constantly going in and out of the hospital, he pushes me to be strong and encourages me to resist the temptation to be negative. Anytime I'm sick and feeling discouraged, Mitch is always there to lift me up. I love him dearly and knew he was my soul mate after only one week of dating. Mitch and I have been married since 7/7/2007, but I think our relationship is just as strong as a marriage of 50 years or more. He is the best thing that ever happened to me, and I thank God everyday for placing Mitch in my path. I don't know how I could ever go through life without him. There are so many other noble things my husband has done, but those deeds usually go unoticed because of how humble he is. I want to show him how deserving he is of this honor, and how important he is to me, our family, his country, and his community." -Amber Outlaw Hometown Hero's name: Seth Mardis

 "My big brother is a hero to me because he is fighting for my freedom and everyone else's. He deserves to know how much everyone appreciates his bravery. He is in the Army National Guard and as far as i know, he's still in Kuwait and i miss him dearly." -Lizzie Winstead Hometown Hero's name: Winky Jenkins-Rice

"This amazing person not only owns backwoods bistro in Sopchoppy and Tallahassee but works 40+ hours a week while maintaining a youth group that has needs. She is one of those people that will help you no matter what. Winky has made fund raisers so her youth could have enough money to have school supplies due to their family not making enough. Shes not the wealthiest person but she is the biggest hero I no. She has came out at 4 in the morning just to comfort me while i was pregnant, this lady is the biggest hero in Wakulla county." Hometown Hero's name: John Swanson

"John is a former Marine who has started a local company called Fishing for the Brave. He takes out ALL active duty military and veterans fishing on a charter FOR FREE as a way of saying thank you from our country for serving. He is non-profit and comes completely out of pocket. There should be more people like him in this world!" -Steven Johnson Hometown Hero's name: SSG Michael Gaskins

"SSG Gaskins is my hero! He has served his Country since 2001 and has spent six out of eleven years overseas. He is a soldier who truly cares about the well-being of other soldiers and tries to mentor in any way possible. He is from Tallahassee, FL and is currently assigned to Fort Stewart, GA. " -Melissa Gaskins Hometown Hero's name: Taylor Crosby

"Taylor is not only a loving husband and father, but he is also with the Woodville volunteer fire department and a meter reader for the city of Tallahassee. Taylor works very hard to provide for his family and community. Taylor Ryan Crosby you will always be my hero." -April Crosby Photo 1 of 1 Continue Gallery

Severe vibration in a turn hitting pothole>>
I have an 07 Wrangler (approx 10K miles) and have experienced this twice before though less severe. Last night in a left hand bending freeway on ramp, I hit a bump/pothole, going approx 50 MPH and the jeep began to vibrate/shake violently. I had to slow down to almost a stop before the vibration passed and I was able to proceed. In the vibration, the jeep was shaking so severe, it was even difficult to steer it off the road. Very scary! Anyone experienced this? Any suggestions?
almost sounds like Death Wobble.. Is it lifted? or other suspension mods done?
Its not lifted and no mods....stock off the shelf JK :)
maybe the pothole knocked a weight off the tire. but that wouldnt explain why it went away.
It's death wobble!! I had the exact same problem in my old zj, sometimes i would hit a bump in the road and it would shake so violently that you had to slow down to almost a complete stop before it went away and it was almost impossible to steer. It usually happened while i was turning and hitting the bump at the same time too.
Take it back to the dealer and have them check it over cause a number of things cause death wobble. Make sure you get it fixed too cause not only is it very dangerous but when it shakes like that all the front end components get stressed.
That's very odd that you have death wobble on such a new vehicle, especially seeing as its stock. Is it under warranty?
Yes, its under warranty and going in tomorrow >>
When I made the appt, I asked the service rep if he was familiar with the term, DW, not wanting to go into a whole explanation but fortunately or unfortunately, they are familiar with the problem. Hopefully they find something to fix!

We purchased this cargo carrier because we needed extra space inside the vehicle to carry passengers. During the 1500 mile trip the cargo carrier performed as expected. There was no rattling. Also purchased the stoplight kit and the ROLA storage bag. Auto Anything also provided excellent customer service and assisted greatly with making the right decision.

We demonstrate that a synthetic fluorophlogopite mica can be used as a proton-free, diamagnetic substrate for examining solid thin-film samples using conventional solid-state proton nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) experiments. The context of this work extends our previous NMR studies from bulk samples to thin films. We have previously used NMR to characterize the intimacy of mixing in bulk glassy photoresist formulations that are relevant to the microelectronics industry. In application, however, photoresists are exclusively used as spin-coated thin films. Since observations for bulk samples do not necessarily carry over to thin films, we sought an NMR-friendly substrate for performing similar proton NMR experiments on glassy thin films. Proton detection and multiple pulse methods were chosen in order to maintain sensitivity. Two natural micas as well as the synthetic mica were each evaluated as possible substrates for spin coated films where the mica occupied over 98 % of the sample volume. A particularly attractive feature of mica is its layered character which permits the preservation of some level of sensitivity via the use of very thin mica sheets. However, the strong paramagnetism of the natural mica thwarts attempts to characterize the polymer thin films due to the strong associated spinning sidebands and linebroadening under magic angle spinning conditions. While we were able to demonstrate some reduction in these unwanted characteristics using oriented samples, the residual level of these effects still caused too much ambiguity in the results. Use of the synthetic mica, on the other hand, proved very successful, showing no deterioration in resolution and only a very slight increase in spinning sideband intensities. Investigations of the intimacy of mixing in a commercial polymer blend and in a more difficult photoresist blend as 250 nm-thick films are reported. It also emerges from these examples that the mica is truly proton free; yet, for a successful experiment designed to investigate the intimacy of mixing, one must pay scrupulous attention to excluding impurities during sample preparation and handling. In addition, one must also be careful to correct for other proton background signals associated with the empty probe. This synthetic mica should also be a very useful, NMR-friendly substrate for many other types of solid-state thin-film investigations. Finally, in order to provide a firmer basis for interpreting our observations, independent magnetic susceptibility measurements, including in-plane and out-of-plane anisotropies, were performed on all micas used.

Google's much vaunted Nexus One smartphone has had the rug pulled from underneath it after just six months. On its official blog Google has announced that once it sells out of its current stock of Nexus One phones it will no longer be available to buy in the US from its online store.
The Nexus One was a bold experiment from Google to, like Apple, sell its own branded hardware via an online store. However, it proved unpopular with third party Android phone manufacturers and clearly with the public, who instead went for devices such as the HTC Desire and the Samsung Galaxy.
For UK customers the Nexus One has had a very short shelf life, as it only appeared on these shores in late April on Vodafone.
It continues to be available, but only for free from £35 a month packages, whereas the superior HTC Desire can be had for free from £30 a month. As such we think it'll be hanging around for a while longer.
Is anyone the proud owner of a Nexus One? Why not share your thoughts on its demise in the comments.

Patemm Pads
10 Recommendations
casalita's recommendation
Don't have a lot of baggage? Wish I could say the same but the Patemm Pad is perfect for when a diaper bag is too much to handle. A large, round diaper changing pad with pockets to store diapers, wipes, creams and spare clothes. A must when you don't need to lug around a ton of bottles and other garbage. It's easy to fold and carry and generously sized.
My Collections:
seneca's recommendation
Great circular diaper changing pad made from organic cotton. The Kinaban is the only organic cotton pad Patemm sells.
ExLibris's recommendation
A very good idea: carry this instead of a diaper bag.
My Collections:
mwilemon's recommendation
I would love to know where the heck I was when this little item was invented. HELLLLLLLLLLLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!! This is the coolest ever, it may look or appear that it just another changing pad, but you are oh so wrong. It has pockets, YES POCKETS to hold those used wipes and diapers. How many times have you changed your baby and not a waste basket was in sight??? Hallelujah to this product!
My Collections:
MomsFavoriteStuff's recommendation
This item is such a great idea! It's a round changing pad and it can be used in your home or for travel. It folds up nice and small and fits in a diaper bag.
amyCA's recommendation
Oh, if only something like this had been available when my kids were babies!! No need for a changing table if you have this. A changing table takes up too much room anyway.
asilversun's recommendation
I splurged on one of these changing pads when my son was born two years ago and I still love using it. It's also become my favorite shower gift, especially for a second child because chances are they don't already have it. The idea behind is that a round changing pad is harder for a child to squirm off of, but I like it because it's pretty and different, and those qualities aren't always easy to find in baby gear. Expensive, but worth the splurge if you'd like a little pick-me-up when you're changing 8 diapers a day.
mwilemon's recommendation
If you are like me, the changing pads that come with diaper bags can be REALLY small. That is why I love this round design by Patemm Pads. This pad allows you to change your baby in any direction and it also makes a cool pad to lay your baby on to protect them from grass or wood floors.
My Collections:
GraceWelch's recommendation
The "perfect" ROUND diaper changing pad. We take it everywhere for our squirmy 2-year old son Jack!
My Collections:
Vorpaks's recommendation
A truly beautifully designed pad. Has pockets for just the changing neccesities. I am a little past this stage with my son, but I can see so many ways it would have been prefereable to that tiny pad that came with my diaper bag. Although it is designed to be carried instead of a diaper bag I am guessing you can also put it into your diaper bag if you simply must hae both (that would be me). Perfect for my little niece. :)

Richard Zimdars: Religious-right voters are misled by candidates
Former Republican state school superintendent and one-time candidate for governor Linda Schrenko's record of money laundering, not to mention adultery and the facelift, makes her an easy target. But who were her targets?
Heather Anderson: Take fried foods off Oconee school menus
I am writing in regard to the Oconee County Board of Education's consideration of a wellness policy comprising nutrition and exercise guidelines for the county's public school students (Story, "System tackles policy for nutrition," May 12). I agree with the need to revamp school menus, to encourage healthier foods in classrooms and to find incentives other than food to reward students. I do not agree with the few brief menu changes outlined in the story, with the exception of eliminating the plus-sized brownies. The other changes mentioned - eliminating pizza and juice drinks from cafeterias - seem a bit misguided, in that those items aren't necessarily the worst items served to students. Other items, including breaded chicken nuggets and chicken tenders - in other words, fried chicken - along with corn dogs, barbecue pork sandwiches, hot dogs, cheeseburgers, sausage biscuits and doughnuts, to name a few, are among the less-than-healthy foods served to students.
Patrick Tanksley: Alternative school is positive experience
I am currently in the 11th grade, attending the Clarke County School District's alternative education program. My home school is Clarke Central High School.
Bob Bowen: H.T. Edwards Building should be preserved
At times I find myself in opposition to the aggressive promotion of historic preservation. In my judgment, historic preservation efforts too often lead to applying historic preservation principles to facilities and sites of very little significant historic value.
Philip Herold: Little incentive for aliens to assimilate in America
Assimilation is an interesting thing. Which changes more - immigrants, or the country to which they come? When I moved to Athens from Los Angeles in 1980, there were just a couple of Mexican restaurants. I recall a significant debate locally as to the pronunciation of the word "taco." Imagine that today, with Athens' many Mexican cantinas filled with students and families.
John W. English: KA alumni asks frat to consider new site
Athens Banner-Herald reporter Blake Aued did a fine job of reporting a complicated story with his look at plans by the Kappa Alpha fraternity to move to West Hancock Avenue (Story, "As fraternity plans to move, its Old South traditions stir up painful memories for new neighbors," May 14). I'd like to add some additional comments on this timely issue.
Robert Heiss: Congress doesn't care about working class
I'm amazed at how poorly our leaders are handling the illegal immigration issue. The fact is, illegal immigrants are here in violation of the law and should be arrested. Why aren't our leaders enforcing the law? Has working-class America - and its opinions - become so insignificant that politicians don't care about attention being called to their corruption? Allowing open defiance of our law has brought to light just how corrupt politics has become.
Chad Wiener: Military officer shouldn't lead intelligence agency
Regarding the nomination of U.S. Air Force Gen. Michael Hayden to head the CIA, President Bush and the Senate should consider the fact that appointing a military official to a nonmilitary post, where duties overlap and conflict, distorts the fact that military and civilian enterprises are separate for a reason.
Robert D. Clements: President is diluting congressional power
Thanks to the Athens Banner-Herald for running the Associated Press news analysis headlined, "Is Bush overreaching his authority?" in its May 14 edition. In civics and social studies classes, we learn our government has three separate branches. Our Constitution grants to Congress the power to make laws and enjoins the president "to faithfully execute those laws."
Phil Jackson: There are limits on free speech
Is the writer of the May 12 letter headlined "Right-wingers also work to limit freedom of speech" really concerned about voodoo priests not being allowed to offer prayers at graduation ceremonies? How can anyone consider that an example of "right-wingers" limiting free speech? How far has America fallen into the abyss of secularism and political correctness that we are really concerned about voodoo priests? Perhaps we should kill a few chickens on stage at the 2006 Clarke Central High School graduation ceremony to make liberals happy.

Dudley: No fooling, you can go home again
I was arguing with the ski rental guy when I heard a voice from across the room say, "That sounds like someone I know." I stopped, let go of my antagonist's collar and turned around to see our former California neighbors, Shelly and Elliot, looking up at us in disbelief. The four of us stood there gob-smacked, before falling into hugs.

Shipp: Schrenko case shows need for appointed school superintendent
Isn't anyone going to say "sorry"?
Perdue marches too early with Guard promise
Georgia Gov. Sonny Perdue has got to be hoping there's good news later this month from the National Hurricane Center. The center, part of the National Weather Service, will be issuing its predictions for the 2006 hurricane season sometime during the last full week of May. Unfortunately, an early forecast from Colorado State University indicates the upcoming hurricane season, which runs from June 1-Nov. 30, could produce as many as nine hurricanes, five of which could be classified as particularly intense storms.

Laroche, Mccann combine to can marlins from B1
runs. That's one fewer than catcher Brian McCann, whose three-run home run in the sixth appeared that it would be enough for Atlanta to rally from a 5-0 deficit.

Another person in the car was killed and police found a serious amount of cocaine with Camacho and his companion. Overnight though, the condition of the former champion worsened and his family is now deciding when to take him off life support. At several times last night, the boxer's heart stopped beating.

'Mob Wives: New Blood' Season 4 SPOILERS: Will Drita and New Mob Wife Natalie Fight? Episode 2 SNEAK PEEK [VIDEO]
Just one episode into season four of VH1's hit reality series, "Mob Wives: New Blood," the show headed to an all-time drama-filled high!
There are a few new faces on the popular show, Natalie Guercio and Alicia DiMichele, both of whom kick the show off proving they are not to be messed with. We're hearing that both Alicia and Natalie will have some pretty big beefs throughout the upcoming season as well.
Episode two, which airs Thursday, will show just how quickly the Mob Wives can turn up and some new beefs definitely start to conspire.
Alicia will have a sit down with Renee Graziano and confront her about the new evidence she's obtained against her in regard to her husband, Edward Garofalo's case. Alicia was already arrested along with her husband and was then allowed to have access to the wire tapes that are being used in the trial, Entertainment Tonight reported, some of which Alicia could hear women's voices on the tapes including Renee!
Meanwhile, Natalie decides to confront Drita D'Avanzo about the snarky comments she made at their group lunch date on last week's episode. Drita, not fond of Natalie already, felt as though something was really sketchy about the new girl and didn't bite her tongue to talk to the rest of the girls about it.
In a trailer clip for episode 2 Vh1 posted, Renee tries to play peacemaker between the two women by setting up a meeting, but before Drita arrives, Natalie gets angry and starts badmouthing her. Renee, being the friend that she is, instantly takes up for Drita and saying that Natalie needs to "calm the f*** down and change her tone because Drita's not the chick that she wants to go there with."
We can assume the meeting goes horribly wrong as the clip ends with Drita yelling at Natalie.
"I really don't want to hurt the new face of Mob Candy! Did Drita fail to mention that I might f***ing break your face?"

It would be nice if there was a way to override default serializers for primitive types. While it can be worked around by registering serializers before the sctor of BsonSerializer executes or by using Reflection, a more straight-forward way would probably be to include a version of BsonSerializer.RegisterSerializer that allows to overwrite serializers for already covered types.
This stackoverflow question might be able to provide more context (note, I am not the original poster of said question): http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12201812/mongodb-override-default-serializer-for-a-c-sharp-primitive-type/12636123#comment17048789_12636123

- duplicates
CSHARP-583 Allow Injection of custom primitive serializers into existing Seralization Stack
- Closed
While I understand what you are saying, it isn't a good solution to enable changing the serializer for a type after it has already been used. For instance, if this was possible, the below sequence of events would be awkward.
- save an entity with a double
- change the double's serializer
- read the entity with a double
Obviously, what would be read would be different than what was written, making the data un-uniform.
As Robert mentioned in the StackOverflow question, you can replace the default serializers for primitive types. The idea is that their is an implicit initialization phase for your applications, prior to any communication with MongoDB. In this initialization area, you can do virtually anything. The static ctor of BsonSerializer definitely runs prior to registration of new serializers (otherwise, .NET is broken). The reason Robert's suggestion works is because the defaults are part of a lazy serializer registration system (IBsonSerializabionProvider). Until a serializer for a type is needed, it isn't registered. Therefore, if you register a serializer for a type (e.g. double) before it is used, then you have replaced the defaults.

I would have to go back and read Jacqueline's blog piece to be sure, but I think she said that she met Chris when Ashley was 5 or so, and they tried a long distance relationship, but it didn't work out (Vegas to NJ). They reconnected at some point, and she moved to NJ when Ashley was 12ish.Originally Posted by Hobbes07;3979517;

At some point after that, Ashley went to live with her dad in Texas. I'm guessing she didn't like the rules Chris brought with him.
My thoughts too. I also read that she said she didn't get along well the kids in her school in NJ. Imagine that.Originally Posted by ubidiah;3979551;

Every time I see Ashley on tv she reminds me of a quote my great Aunt Evelyn had on her icebox (refrigerator).
"Why couldn't all of life problem's hit me when I was 18 and I knew everything?"
Ashley has a terrible combination of immaturity and arrogance. It will bring her, and her family, a lot of grief until she (hopefully) matures.
And I totally agree with everyone that Teresa started that argument. She was probably instructed by the Bravo producers to try and speak with Danielle at some point in the evening. But Teresa didn't have to lose her temper and start chasing Danielle and screaming at her.
I still can't muster any sympathy for Danielle. Her personality is just so awful, even when she's in the right. That poor, pitiful me attitude is just so annoying.

HOLLYWOODLIFE EXCLUSIVE! Danielle Staub Is Suing Teresa & Other NJ Housewives For Ripping Out Her Hair And Wild Attack! Hollywood LifeHOLLYWOODLIFE EXCLUSIVE! Danielle Staub Is Suing Teresa & Other NJ Housewives For Ripping Out Her Hair And Wild Attack!
...Danielle Staub's lawyer tells HollywoodLife.com exclusively that Danielle plans legal action against Teresa Giudice and Jacqueline Laurita's daughter Ashley Holmes, among others, for their wild attack on Danielle, which featured on last night's 'RHONJ' episode.
We told you earlier about the July 12 episode documenting the ridiculous and almost gang like fight instigated by Teresa Giudice, which ended with Jacqueline Laurita's 19-year-old daughter Ashley Holmes ripping out Danielle's hair. But HollywoodLife.com can exclusively reveal that Danielle is suing the women involved at the superior court in Passaic County, NJ.
"I've never seen anything like this," says Danielle's defense attorney Paul Giblin. "We are going to use this footage and prepare a case against these women. We are seeking assault and battery charges, defamation of character and punitive damages as well."
But that's not all: Paul is going to do everything he can to make sure that Danielle remains safe from the other housewives.
"We will get restraining orders by the judge against Teresa, Ashley and all others involved. We will subpoena this women to make sure they come to court. We are going to ask to impose sanctions against these women, whatever the law allows."...
You can always count on a murderer for a fancy prose style. ~Humbert
I can see and fully support Danielle suing Ashley. But the others didn't do anything to her. I think she should just focus on suing Ashely to make her case stronger.
Also, since this episode took place 6-7 months ago, I vaguely recall reading that Ashley was charged with assault and had to pay a small fine -- $143???? something like that.Originally Posted by tenchikiss;3979948;
Also, what the heck happened to cause Jacqueline to despise Danielle so much, when initially they were friends. Mama Manzo probably had a lot to do with it. Just curious!

Harding Loevner Emerging Markets PM Says Still Hard To Find Quality Growth In China
With the global economy likely stuck in a long slog, Craig Shaw, co-manager of the $1.6 billion Harding Loevner Emerging Markets Fund (HLEMX), says emerging market companies with strong, quality franchises should be able to generate better growth and get compensated for it eventually.
Shaw tells Barrons.com the fund. which favors high-quality growth firms, is still underweight China. While pockets of the market have become cheaper, estimates are still coming down in a number of areas. "Finding quality growth companies in China has not become any easier," Shaw says.
That said, the fund does own Tencent Holdings (TCEHY) , which Shaw says is growing rapidly with healthy margins.
He also still likes Turkey, noting the country's young population and improving GDP/capita. The fund has been overweight for a while, with holdings in Garanti Bank (TKGBY), the country's second largest private bank, and appliance maker Arcelik (ACKAY) . Concerns about the country's current account deficit persist, but Shaw says falling energy prices have helped the situation some lately.
The fund is also overweight Indonesia, with stocks like conglomerate Astra International (ASII.JK) , an auto and motorcycle manufacturer and distributor of brands like Toyota and Honda. Astra also has strong positions in construction and heavy equipment and contract coal mining.
So far this year, the fund is up 9%, putting it in the top 14th percentile of Morningstar's emerging markets stock category.

I am good with the selections of OLB ANTHONY BARR at nine and trading for QB TEDDY BRIDGEWATER at 32. The new head coach with the well respected defensive mind gets to work with one of the most athletically gifted players in the draft and maybe its third best pass rusher, and the new offensive coordinator with the well respected offensive mind receives the opportunity to talk the QB through whatever caused him to drop to the end of the first round.
I do expect the Vikings to select a QB in next year's draft assuming they move on from PONDER, and then we would have second-year Teddy working with the rookie and the veteran in CASSEL on the final year of his deal. Then we would have two kid QBs carrying us into the new stadium in 2016. Obviously with Bridgewater or next year's guy we have to dagger the spot for the long term.
The steam last night (JAY GLAZER, who doesn't miss much) was the team attempted to trade up from 40 with the Eagles for the right to house JOHNNY FOOTBALL. Cleveland landed the spot and the mercurial QB.
I believe the news to be true but also don't feel the Vikings had much draft-opinion separation between Manziel and Bridgewater. To wit, if Philly had said "Yes" the team probably would have been cool landing the Texas A&M kid but if it didn't work are more than enthralled to work with the high completion percentage kid from Louisville.
That QB call didn't mean that much to me because I am not totally sold on either first-round pick. Teddy seems to handle pressure well and can make most of the throws, and Manziel runs markedly better and has a better arm.
My end-game take on Manziel was I didn't trust his reckless playing style that much in the NFL. He plays like RG3 and an ACL and assorted bumps and bruises later the Redskins guy wasn't much last year. He very well could bounce back this year and be quality, but QBs who play like Griffin and Manziel are risky props in the big show.
Barr's 10 forced fumbles the last two years excite me. That he only played two years of defense and is improving by the minute excites me. That he has NFL pedigree excites me. And that he's 6'5, 255 and runs a 4.4 40 very much excites me. I love this selection and expect him to contribute with a minimum eight sacks next season.
Starting today with the two thirds I am casting my gaze the way of a back-up to ADRIAN. With NORV at the helm I feel this spot is important, and I'd like Adrian to run a little less and for us to pass more and more explosively.
The two names either for today's third round or tomorrow fourth round on which I am focusing are CHARLES SIMS from West Virginia and JERICK MCKINNON out of Georgia Southern. Probably need to get Sims today because he's more of a true RB than McKinnon.
Sims caught 45 passes last year and can lineup as a WR. Sounds perfect for Norv, who loves throwing to his running backs.
McKinnon could be the new-age JOE WEBB in that he can do a bunch of things well. At Georgia Southern he played QB, RB, KR and some DB. If we have some "Wildcat" to the arsenal this kid would be perfect.
With the other selections I'd like to find help at MLB, CB, S and maybe land one of these nice WRs up and down the draft.

A pocket guide to sects and new religions
Posted by at 00:00 on 6th May 2010
by Nigel Scotland, Lion, £6.99
This book is an ideal work for basic information about better-known religions such as the Jehovah's Witnesses and the Latter Day Saints (Mormons), as well as newer sects such as Falung Gong and the Raelian Church, together with developments in Paganism, for example, Wicca.
Scotland is also helpful in providing information on more recent changes in beliefs in some of these sects such as the Worldwide Church of God. This is a good handy guide – entries on each religion can be read easily in five minutes. Pastors and other key leaders may want fuller workers on the main sects and other religions but this one is a great little book. Excellent value.

Matilda by Roald Dahl
Dahl, who also brought us Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and The BFG deserves his reputation as one of the most-loved children's authors ever, and readers will never forget the colourful characters in this book particularly the bullying Mrs Trunchbull.
Buy this book from the NOOK store here
War Horse by Michael Morpugho
The former Children's Laureate is a master story teller – and along with Private Peaceful and A Medal for Leroy – this moving tale is a way to introduce children to the difficult subject of war through Joey, the much-loved horse of young Devon farm boy Albert.
Buy this book from the NOOK store here
His Dark Materials by Philip Pullman
Admittedly this is actually three books, but once you start the trilogy which begins with The Northern Lights you will just have to go on to read The Subtle Knife and The Amber Spyglass which are truly epic and fantastical tales. One for older children (and adults).
Buy this book from the NOOK store here
Harry Potter by J K Rowling
From Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone through to the finale in the series, the Deathly Hallows, these are must reads that contain so much more detail than the films. Children will be missing out if they do not read at least one in the series.
Buy this book from the NOOK store here
Billionaire Boy by David Walliams
Walliams' use of humour (you will hear them chuckling as they read) in this touching tale of the boy who has everything but a friend, deservedly propelled him to the bestseller list. They will then have to read Gangsta Granny, Ratburger, The Boy in The Dress and Mr Stink.
Buy this book from the NOOK store here
Stormbreaker by Antony Horowitz
Spies, suspense, daring chases, gadgets and a 14-year old orphan forcibly recruited to MI6, make Alex Rider (a junior James Bond), the perfect hero for young boys aged 10 to 14. There's plenty in the series so then move onto Point Blanc.
The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night Time by Mark Haddon
Many think of this as an adult book, but it was in fact written for children. However as it does contain swearing so you might want to read it first (you will enjoy it). Although it starts with a mystery (the dead dog), this tale of Christopher Boone, a 15 year old with Asperger's is also a story of dealing with being different, the big wide world and the impact of parental separation.
Buy this book from the NOOK store here
The Boy in Striped Pyjamas by John Boyne
Another book that adults have enjoyed as much as children. A moving story about the extermination of Jews in WWII concentration camps told through the eyes of a 9-year-old German boy whose father is sent to become Commandant of Auschwitz. It avoids graphic detail so is suitable for children from 10 up.
Buy this book from the NOOK store here
The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins
The first in the trilogy is said to be by far the best although the three books combined (which include Catching Fire and Mockingjay) have outsold Harry Potter's seven on some book lists. Although about children, the violence (they have to fight to the death) makes them more suited to 13+.
Buy this book from the NOOK store here
Discworld series by Terry Pratchett
Fantasy novels may be topping the teen best selling charts today, but they are nothing new. The Discworld tales of wizards, witches and wee free men are now 30 years old and started with The Colour of Magic. With 40 books in the series they have become much-loved by more than one generation.

Mango Mouth HTML version
By Victor Peter-George ©22-7-2010
Chapter One
A gentle morning breeze crawls down the lush green hills and tenderly strokes the
leaves of the trees, as it cools the quiet country village of Toco, a farming
community peacefully resting in a valley under the protecting embrace of the
Pariah Hills. The lazy Guapo River runs through Toco quenching its thirst
whenever the need arises.
Toco is known island wide for the many crops its fertile land produces so
effortlessly. However the sweetness of its numerous varieties of mangoes is
almost legendary. So tempting is the taste of these mangoes that all of its
inhabitants eagerly await the mango season. When they can sink their teeth into
the juicy flesh of a mango and savour the taste as nectar runs down chin, fingers
and arms.
One little girl living in Toco named Annie, is known by the villagers to have a huge
appetite for the mangoes. Annie who is just 9 years old seems to know before
anyone else in the village, which tree will bear the first mango and which will ripe
first. Every mango season since her fifth birthday, Annie is always the first person
in the village to be seen eating a mango. She also knows where the largest
mangoes can be found. Therefore it came as no surprise to anyone living in Toco
that Annie got the name 'Mango Mouth'. No one can recall who gave her the
name or at what age she acquired it, Annie just became 'Mango Mouth'.
Mango mouth lives in one of the larger houses in Toco, with her parents, two
brothers and two sisters. Her house is situated alongside the winding narrow road
which runs through the center of Toco, dividing the village into two equal parts.
The northern section slopes directly from the first Pariah hill until it meets the
road. The southern section slopes from the road down to the Guapo River,
crosses it and ascends the other Pariah hill. Mango mouth lives in the Southern
section with the window to her room facing the river, looking down upon her

FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. – The Northern Arizona women's tennis team was awarded the Lumberjack Cup through their efforts giving back to the community, their success on the court and excelling in the classroom during the 2012-13 academic year.
The Lumberjack Cup is a year-long competition between teams that incorporates academic achievement, team performance, community service, attendance at mandatory programming, and support of fellow athletic teams. The winner is selected by being the most well rounded team with an exuberant amount of pride in NAU Athletics.
"It means so much to our team to win the cup," said senior Tatum Rochin. "We put in a lot of hours in for community service and it means a lot to be recognized for that."
The women are coming off a stellar 2013 season where they finished with a 17-10 record and placed second in the Big Sky Conference. The Lumberjacks went 8-2 in conference play and were not defeated in their home matches going 7-0.
At every home sporting event for Northern Arizona, when the women are in town, they are out supporting their fellow NAU student-athletes.
"It's important to support other student-athletes because it makes our athletic community at NAU stronger," said Rochin who is a Student Athlete Advisory Committee officer at NAU. "Teams perform better when they have a good support system and I think that support starts when their fellow student-athletes make a strong presence at all of our athletic events."
Women's tennis has also been active in the community giving back in any way possible. The women have helped out at local food banks boxing food to be shipped and also preparing dinner to serve. The Lumberjacks also give back to the young kids in Flagstaff participating in Red Ribbon Week visiting schools and talking to kids.
After wrapping up their fall schedule, the women are now preparing for their 2014 season, which begins Jan. 18 at Arizona State.
