Shot in the Hand - Apsaroke (1908)
Portfolio IV plate 133
"Shot in the Hand (Maohpish) was born about 1841. He was
a Medicine Crow, and member of the Fox organization and the Whistle
Water clan. A very skilled and fierce warrior, he once rushed up
a height to strike the Piegan who were entrenched on the summit,
and although a shot brought him to the ground he arose and charged
again. Four times in as many different fights he seized an unharmed
enemy by the hair and hurled him from his horse." -Curtis

Enjoy a few more insights to DeDe's world. Here is how she describes herself:
What was your childhood ambition?
As an avid reader, I always wanted to be an author. But that was until I discovered I couldn't write! LOL!
What is your idea of a perfect day?
Sleeping in until 10-11. Spending the day watching movies with my family and eating delicious food that I don't have to cook! Having a little time to design and some time away with just my husband. That would be a good day!.
What time is your alarm clock set to?
7:45am - but my kids are usually my alarm.
Where do you get design inspiration?
Everywhere! I find a lot of inspiration from my family, but also from colors and patterns and the little things around me. But I think the thing that inspires me most is holidays/themes. Most of my kits revolve around holidays or seasons!
What is your favorite indulgence?
A long hot shower, followed by a Hersheys with Almonds candy bar!
What food do you dislike?
I really don't like anything MINT flavored!
What characteristic do you despise?
Disrespect and judgement of others.
What is your favorite TV Show?
This one is a hard one because my family and I LOVE movies and tv shows! I watch way too much, but I truly love it! I guess one of my most favorite TV Shows would have to be GILMORE GIRLS.

Whether your are all about the traditional colors of Christmas, or a free spirit who likes to mix it up a bit, here are some fresh new layout ideas to get your holiday photos scrapped.
Tips & Tricks
One of the best ways to make your scrapbook pages more meaningful is to have sharp-looking pictures in those pages! To some, taking great photos seems to come naturally. For the rest of us, does it feel like everyone elses' photos of the same event are better than what you shot? Here are a few tricks of the trade to increase your pictures' wow factor.
. There is nothing worse than a great moment in time being captured only to discover later it is out of focus. To avoid this, first, you need to get to know the focus method of your camera. Second, focus on the eyes of your subject. And third, hold still when you push the button!
This is actually harder than it may seem! I actually try to exhale slowly while I am pushing the button to make sure I am not rushing to the next shot and blurring the current one.
Be Selective
. Decide what you are really interested in and center your efforts on getting the best shot of that. Be sure to keep anything that would distract out of the picture. You can remove unwanted elements from the photo by a)
: Change your perspective so that tree isn't coming out of your Dad's head; 2)
: Get up close - this can be done by a lens or by you physically moving closer to the subject, but the effect is the same. You want to fill the viewfinder with just your selected subject; and c)
Being mindful of background clutter
: Look past your subject to the parameters of the photo. Are there things that will draw the eye away from the subject of the photo? Wait a minute, change your perspective or zoom in to remove distractions.
. Envision a Tic-tac-toe in your viewfinder and place the subject of the shot at any point where the lines cross, not in the middle square! Even if that is where your camera initially focuses, you usually have the option of recomposing the shot once the focus is obtained.

A homicidal repeat-offender drunk driver is not bad enough, not low enough, for some folks outraged over the accident this weekend that killed one Benedictine Sister and critically injured two others.
Politicians are all over the news that the driver was an illegal immigrant, not a home-grown repeat offender, drunk driver. And the Benedictine Sisters, in turn, are dismayed that the immigrant's illegal status has become a political fireball.
Michelle Boorstein has the story today at The Washington Post in which U.S. Rep. Harold Rogers (Ky.), blames the Obama administration's immigration policies, for example. But the religious order, evidently dismayed by the hijacking of the tragedy for partisan purposes, gave a poignant statement Monday.
The Benedictine Sisters are dismayed and saddened that this tragedy has been politicized and become an apparent forum for the illegal immigration agenda. While grieving and dealing with the death and severe injuries of our sisters, we would like to re-focus attention on the consequences of drinking and driving and on Christ's command to forgive.
And already the sisters have met with the parents of the driver and offered them comfort and sympathy.
Are you up to this heavenly level of forgiveness? Do you care about the nationality of the drunk who kills someone you love?

Get the legal help you need at a fixed price. No hidden fees or long-term commitment.
Real estate attorneys deal with the many laws and practice areas associated with land ownership issues. For example, a commercial real estate attorney knows which laws apply to commercial transactions for construction/development projects (such as condo construction), or land use/zoning projects (such as subdividing a parcel of land for development), or real property issues (such as financing a large land purchase). Likewise, residential real estate lawyers help you buy a home, or prevent you from losing your home in foreclosure. They also know how residential tenancy laws work and can advise you of your rights as a tenant. With so many types of real estate attorneys, it is important to find a specialist who does the work you need.

A polarization cloak was a sophisticated cloaking device used by Ramuran tracers to hide themselves and their ships. Tracer ships could fire weapons through the cloak, while remaining untargetable themselves. The personal version of a polarization cloak could be disrupted by a magneton sweep.
In 2374, the former tracer Kellin modified the USS Voyager sensors to penetrate the Ramuran polarization cloaks, albeit only for a brief time. (VOY: "Unforgettable")

The fatal shooting of Trayvon Martin in February turned a national spotlight on Florida's "Stand Your Ground" law. Following widespread outcry about the killing—in which George Zimmerman shot the unarmed 17-year-old Martin allegedly in self defense—Florida Gov. Rick Scott convened a task force to evaluate the 2005 law. This week, the group came back with their report. Their conclusion? The controversial law is just fine as it is. But there's just one problem: That verdict flies in the face of much troubling evidence to the contrary.
Stand Your Ground essentially makes it legal to shoot one's way out of any situation that feels threatening: Unless law enforcement authorities can prove that's an invalid explanation from a shooter, a resulting homicide can be deemed justifiable under the law, and the shooter is immune from criminal and civil prosecution. As Mother Jones reported in June, Florida's Stand Your Ground law kicked off a wave of such legislation across the country, with 24 of them passed elsewhere since, thanks to much backing by the National Rifle Association and the American Legislative Exchange Council.

Kenya Moore, who was Miss USA (not Miss America, people!) ups the irritation quotient week two:
Let me count thy ways:
1) She gets all catty with Phaedra Parks and Kandi Burruss at the Bottle Bar in Buckhead, recounting her time doing the "Jet Of the Week" judging contest with Cynthia Bailey last week with disdain, including the moment she had Cynthia's assistant "thrown out" by security. (Phaedra said Whitney Houston or Michael Jackson needed security. But Kenya? Really?) Kenya said she felt like the Wizard in the Wizard of Oz and Cynthia was the scarecrow with no brain repeating what she had just said. Cynthia thinks she's full of herself and disrespectful.
2) Kenya gets pointlessly jealous when her boyfriend Walter (who owns a towing company) said he once asked Kandi on a date but she rejected him. Kenya got real upset at one point, but the multiple tequilas seemed to calm her down.
3) While Cynthia holds an "appreciation" party for NeNe Leakes and her success in Hollywood at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel in Buckhead, Kenya openly mocks her by saying, "I love you Kandi. I love you Phaedra!" while Cynthia is talking. Then Kenya has the temerity to take the mic and starts her own speech, first by saying, "Enough of the clown show," followed by this unctuously insincere "It's really sweet Cynthia would throw a party for her BFF. It inspires us to be kind and sweet to each other."
4) Then she pulls NeNe to the side right in front of Cynthia and tries to befriend her by saying that Cynthia's negative impression of Kenya shouldn't impact NeNe's efforts to like her. She also mocks Cynthia as a mere "talking head." Cynthia has no real comeback, just says she's NOT a "talking head." Later, to the RHOA cameras, she comes up with some wittier comments, such as: "She's a very attractive woman. But if you're ugly on the inside, you're ugly on the outside."
Updates on the other women:
– Kandi is moving into her new fancy mansion home with her boyfriend Todd, a pad that impresses Phaedra more so than the dismissive Kim last week.
– The producers attempt to revisit the tiresome Kim Zolciak-NeNe dynamic yet again. Kim shows up to Cynthia's party for NeNe but leaves just as NeNe arrives. NeNe tries to be conciliatory again but Kim is her usual jerk-ish self. NeNe wants Kim to stay five minutes to hear NeNe's speech but Kim says she's running 40 minutes late to get home yada yada yada. Then Kim lies and says she's going to the bathroom and will be back to hear NeNe. She leaves. Classy, that Kim, as always.
– NeNe gets emotional at a Pride event in Los Angeles to promote "The New Normal." She's taken aback how much love she gets from the gays. She even brings her teen son Brentt along. Gregg, her ex husband, pops in at the last second. It seems like they've reconciled.
– Phaedra works out with NeNe and Cynthia at one point at Buckhead's Body Sculptor, owned by 'The Biggest Loser" trainer Dolvett Quince, but Dolvett isn't the trainer. Phaedra also noted earlier in the episode she wants another baby.
– Based on the trailers, Porsha Williams Stewart finally shows up in the third episode and quickly comes to blows with Kenya. Of course.
"I'm not used to living in a crammed space. We need every square foot of a 17,000 square foot space." – Kim Zolciak, acknowledging a problem 99.9% of the population does not have.
"Were you before or after Vanessa Williams?" – Cynthia, trying to ding 41-year-old Kenya Moore, who is much younger than Williams.
"If Miss USA could take her gown, her sash and her crown and just wave her way right out the door, I'd be very happy." – Cynthia.
Although there were signs people were getting tired of the show last season, "Real Housewives of Atlanta" came back strong last week. The fifth season opener debuted at a solid 3.2 million viewers. That's actually the highest opening ever for the show. This is up from the 2.9 million viewers that opened last season. The show averaged 2.8 million viewers last season and a peak 2.9 million viewers season three.

Cincinnati Bengals at Cleveland Browns | FirstEnergy Stadium | Sept. 29, 2013
· QB Brian Hoyer completed 25 of 38 passes (65.8 percent) for 269 yards with two touchdowns, zero interceptions and a 103.9 rating. He completed his fist nine passes of the game for 85 yards and one touchdown. Hoyer is the first quarterback to win his first two starts in a Browns uniform since Mark Rypien in 1994 (vs. New England on Nov. 6 and at Philadelphia on Nov. 13).
· Making his 100th straight start, LT Joe Thomas extended his consecutive snaps streak to 6,125, the longest active stretch in the league. Thomas has started every game and hasn't missed an offensive play since being selected by the Browns with the third overall pick in the 2007 draft.
· Making his first career start, Browns 2013 first-round pick OLB Barkevious Mingo recorded his third sack of the season. After missing the season-opener due to injury, he has a sack in each of the past three games. According to the Elias Sports Bureau, Mingo is the first player with a sack in each of his first three NFL games since Oakland's Tommy Kelly in 2004. Mingo is also the first Brown to accomplish the feat.
· TE Jordan Cameron recorded a career-high 10 receptions for 91 yards, including a 2-yard touchdown. With a team-high five receiving touchdowns this season, Cameron is the first Browns tight end with at least five touchdowns in a season since Kellen Winslow had five in 2007. The only Browns tight end with more than five receiving touchdowns in a season is Hall of Famer Ozzie Newsome, who accomplished the feat three times (six in 1981 and 1983 and nine in 1979). Cameron also joins Winslow (five times), Newsome (four times) and Benjamin Watson (once) as the only Browns tight ends to catch 10 or more passes in a game.
· Cameron leads the team this season with 30 receptions, 360 receiving yards and five touchdowns, with all three figures representing career-bests. Cameron's five receiving touchdowns and 30 receptions are the most by a Browns tight end in the first four games of a season, and his receiving yardage is the second most.
Player Year Total
1. Jordan Cameron 2013 30
2. Ozzie Newsome 1981 23
3. Kellen Winslow 2006 22
Player Year Total
1. Kellen Winslow 2007 367
2. Jordan Cameron 2013 360
3. Milt Morin 1971 273
· DB Buster Skrine tied a career-high with three passes defensed, while adding his first interception of the season. It was his second career interception, with the other occurring at Arizona on Dec, 18, 2011.
· The Browns limited Cincinnati to 63 rushing yards on 20 attempts (3.2 average). Cleveland's defense had not allowed a 100-yard rusher this season and has limited opponents to an average of 79.0 yards per game and an average of 2.9 yards per carry. The Browns are the only team in the league to have not given up a rush of 15 yards or longer this season. The longest rush allowed by the club this season was 14 yards by Miami RB Daniel Thomas on Sept. 8.
· DB Chris Owens recorded two tackles, one sack, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery. It was his second career sack and first since Nov. 27, 2011 as a member of the Atlanta Falcons.
· RB Chris Ogbonnaya registered five receptions for 21 yards, including a 1-yard touchdown. It was his first career receiving touchdown and second career score (1-yard touchdown run at Jacksonville on Nov. 20, 2011). Ogbonnaya added 27 rushing yards on five attempts (5.4 average).
· C Alex Mack has started and played in each of the first 68 games of his career. He hasn't missed an offensive snap during his career, a stretch of 4,200 plays.
· LB D'Qwell Jackson finished with a team-high 10 tackles (according to press box figures) and one pass deflection, which was intercepted by Skrine in the fourth quarter. Jackson has been a part of a takeaway in each of the four games this season. He deflected a pass, which was intercepted in the opener; he recovered a fumble in Week 2; forced a fumble last game; and was a part of the interception this game.
· K Billy Cundiff connected on a field-goal attempt from 51 yards. He is 2-of-2 on field-goal attempts this season from 50 yards or longer.
· Inactive with a knee injury, LB Jabaal Sheard missed the first game of his career. He had previously started all 35 games since the Browns selected him in the second round of the 2011 draft.
· Cleveland's offense recorded its longest drive of the season after netting 95 yards on 12 plays for a first quarter touchdown. It was the Browns' longest drive since a 95-yard touchdown drive at Oakland on Oct. 16, 2011.
· The Browns have had the lead at halftime of all four games this season. It is the first time Cleveland has accomplished this through the first four games of a season since 1995.
· DL Desmond Bryant was held without a sack for the first time this season, ending his consecutive games with a sack streak at seven. Bryant, an unrestricted free agent this offseason, leads the team with 3.5 sacks this year.

Homemade Carnival Game – Hole in One!
Supplies for Hole in One Game:
Putting Green made from thick green outdoor carpet or fake grass cut into putting shape with holes for the golf balls.
How to Make this Carnival Game:
There are a few different ways to make this game, so first you need to decide which way is best for you.
Using a Large Piece of sloped Foam:
First, cut a shape for your putting green, out of the artificial grass. Next attach the foam for the final 2 - 3 feet of your putting green to have a slope for the golfers. Next, cut holes for the golf balls to drop through to the ground. Finally, build a wooden frame to keep the golf balls in play for the game.
Using a Large Piece of Plywood:
For this set up you will cut the plywood in a rectangular shape. Next, add a hole for the ball to drop. Next, add the 2 x 4 wood pieces to the frame.
The pictures above show a golf game that has a foundation of a piece of plywood with added 2 x 4 frame to keep the balls in play. At the end of the "green" you will see the turf stops short and that give the game more challenge than just the additional obstacles as shown in top photos.
Game Setup:
Before the carnival, set up your putting greens and tape to show children where to stand.
How to Play the Hole in One Game:
Typically, children are given 3 chances to put from the line and make it into one of the holes on the end of the putting green.
Depending upon how difficult your game is set up - choose your prize levels.
For example, if a player gets 3 holes in one, they receive a top prize (this will be rare!) If a child sinks 1 or 2, they receive the medium prize. If they do not get a ball into the hole they receive a consolation prize.
Additional Hints & Tips:
It is best not to allow children to walk down the putting green to continue to hit the ball more than one time – you do not want them tripping on the lumber – allow carnival volunteers to pick up the balls.

Seeking compliant catalog and shopping cart
I am employing a pretty clean shopping cart solution for my business called OSCommerce. However, since getting involved with WordPress, I am impatient with the clunky and confused mixture of logic and presentation found with this system. At the moment I am trying to rework a CSS-only version of OSCommerce's index.php, but it's rough going and index.php is one of many template files used by the system.
So I started wondering if there was a better solution, something more along the lines of what I like most about WordPress. Here are my criteria for a new system:
- PHP and MySQL
- Clean and compliant template files
- Produced by a primarily English-speaking team
- Smart and professional user community
- Lots of plug-in hacks for credit card handling, UPS handling, QuickBooks support, etc
- Stuff like that
If anyone has any experience or advice, your suggestions would be most welcome.
- The topic 'Seeking compliant catalog and shopping cart' is closed to new replies.

September 27, 2003
Calder capped off a near-perfect TAC Cup AFL season with a 92-point demolition of Murray this morning at the MCG.
After not losing a game through the under-18 season, Calder suffered a shock loss to Murray three weeks ago in the qualifying final.
The Cannons then won their next three finals by at least 80 points each.
They won the 2001 premiership and suffered a one-point loss in last year's grand final against Eastern.
"It really is a reward for the whole club, the structures that are in this place are second-to-none in terms of junior football department," said coach Rob Hyde.
"To be in three grand finals in a row means what you're doing, you're doing pretty well.
"Last year was a pain in the arse, to lose by one point is a little bit soul-destroying, but to bounce back like they did....they deserved to do it."
Much of the game was played in atrocious conditions, with the ground lights turned on at 10am as a hail storm swept through.
Midfielder Brock McLean was best afield with 31 possessions, enhancing his prospects at this year's national draft.
The 17-year-old is the nephew of former Richmond and Carlton player Ricky McLean.
Brock and his team-mates did not concede a goal until four minutes into the last quarter.
He said the qualifying final upset had helped the players.
"We were probably expecting a loss, it was in the backs of everyones' minds that there was a loss to come," McLean said.
"I don't think any of the boys have gone through a season undefeated.
"It was a blessing in disguise, it's paid off now."
McLean said he had not thought much about the draft, with the VCE student saying he had wanted to concentrate instead on the Cannons' season.
He was a member of last year's grand final team and was determined to go one better this time.
Hyde said McLean, Zac Dawson, Jarrod Silvester, Adam Bentick, Brent Hartigan and Ben Clifton should also attract attention from AFL recruiters.
"In this year's draft, I don't know how many we'll get, but they've all given themselves a show of being recognised, at least looked at," he said.
Half-back Chris Goullet could also attract some interest from Essendon - he is the grandson of Bombers legend John Coleman.

Violinist Patricia Kopatchinskaja to Make US Debut with Boston Philharmonic, 11/21-24
On rare occasions, a musician will perform with such force and spirit that you sit up straighter, lean a little closer and in an instant realize that something extraordinary is happening. Moldovan violinist Patricia Kopatchinskaja is that kind of grab-your-soul performer. She makes her major US debut with conductor Benjamin Zander leading the Boston Philharmonic Orchestra (www.bostonphil.org) on November 21.
Concerts: Thursday, November 21, 7:30PM / Sanders Theatre, Cambridge Friday, November 22, 8:00PM / Mechanics Hall, Worcester Saturday, November 23, 8:00PM / Jordan Hall, Boston Sunday, November 24, 3:00PM / Sanders Theatre, Cambridge.
An acknowledged megawatt star abroad, the 36-year-old Kopatchinskaja arrives in Boston as the hottest property in classical music, having won the coveted 2013 Gramophone Record of the Year with her Naive CD of concertos by Hungarian composers Bartok, Ligeti and Eotvos. For the concert, Kopatchinskaja will perform the Bartok Violin Concerto No. 2, one of the standout pieces that netted her the Gramophone award. Bookending the program are two works that complement the Bartok concerto, Brahms' Symphony No. 2 and Weber's Overture to der Freischu?tz.
"What's astonishing about Kopatchinskaja is her intensity and virtuosity coupled with an absolute freedom and courage," says Zander. "Her music just comes at you in 3D. She is unpredictable but incredibly disciplined, with an expressive power that makes you feel as if you never heard the piece before."
Kopatchinskaja's combination of technical brilliance and explosive aural imagination find perfect expression in the work of Barto?k, whose music reflects a great intellect and a soaring spirit. They share a background steeped in the tradition of European folk songs-Kopatchinskaja's parents are popular folk musicians-and an appreciation of the past filtered though a modern sensibility. The violinist has said: "The Eastern European folklore is my blood, contemporary music is the air I breathe and classical music is the skeleton which holds all this together."
"I can't wait to play with her," says Zander, who was unfamiliar with her work until a colleague called to say he had just heard the most amazing violinist. "I listened to everything I could and woke up at 4 AM knowing I had to book her immediately. I have not been so excited to present an artist since I introduced Yo-Yo Ma to Boston when he was in his 20s. A talent like this comes along only once or twice in a lifetime."
"She plays as if she just composed the piece," he continues. "The color, the rhythmic incisiveness and the creativity that she shows in shaping every phrase transform Bartok's music into something that is both true and new. The concerto is the single most difficult piece for an orchestra to accompany in the standard classical repertoire, so the entire evening promises to be exhilarating."
The concert will open with the beautifully haunting Weber overture, a grand and romantic piece too infrequently performed in the US. Brahms-another composer greatly influenced by folk music-will follow Barto?k. "The Second Symphony shows the warmhearted, engaging side of Brahms," Zander explains. "I plan to use a lot of rubato, reinforcing the free spirit that will be afoot with Kopatchinskaja on the program."

Office products supplier Corporate Express Australia says it's been a challenging year with tough market conditions expected to continue.
The company told shareholders at its annual general meeting that the market remained challenging, after reporting earnings before interest and tax fell 15.2 per cent to $15.86 million in the first quarter of 2010.
Corporate Express's majority shareholder, US-based Staples Inc, has made an offer to buy out the rest of the company in a takeover offer that values the office products supplier at around $1 billion.
The board of Sydney-based Corporate Express has unanimously recommended the offer in absence of a superior bid.
The world's largest office products company, Staples Inc already owns 58.6 per cent of Corporate Express and is offering $5.60 a share for the remaining stake.

Nobody knows how Russian President Vladimir Putin and his lust for Ukraine eventually will play out. His taking of Crimea and the presence of Russian armed troops along the eastern border with Ukraine certainly resembles a country in an invasion mode and one with expansion plans.
There are those people, including close Russian observers, who believe Putin is doing what dictators often resort to when conditions are unsettling on the domestic front — they divert the attention of the people by creating a crisis, often with other countries that are portrayed as enemies. Putin claims he is taking actions to support Russian-leaning people in Ukraine. Russia has done this in other regions where there are Russian ethic groups. None, of course, are as big as Ukraine.
Jeffrey Mankoff is deputy director of and a Fellow in the Russia and Eurasia Program at the Center for Strategic and International Studies. He wrote this is Foreign Affairs magazine: "By annexing Crimea and threatening deeper military intervention in eastern Ukraine, Russia will only bolster Ukrainian nationalism and push Kiev closer to Europe, while causing other post-Soviet states to question the wisdom of a close alignment with Moscow." That's an opinion from a man who knows Russia. He may be right.
One result of Putin's actions is that he is much more popular in Moscow and other parts of Russia. His popularity has soared since he annexed Crimea and has fanned ethnic tensions in Ukraine. Putin may be a liar but he's not a fool. He knows Russia could not win a war with European nations, aided by the United States. He also knows that he has enriched his own standing with the Russian people.
Will tougher economic sanctions make Putin back off? If they really hit home, Putin is going to do something to save face. Like all dictators he is a proud man. He may agree to some kind of a settlement that won't make him look like a leader who has been forced to yield to a point that he appears weak.

NongFu Spring, USHA, Yazaki Europe, Among Many Companies Deploying SAP NetWeaver® Business Warehouse Powered by SAP HANA® to Enable High-Performance Data Warehouse
WALLDORF, Germany - As demand by companies to provide business users faster access to critical business information continues to grow, more customers are turning to the SAP NetWeaver® Business Warehouse (SAP NetWeaver BW) application powered by the SAP HANA® database as the optimal choice. SAP NetWeaver BW powered by SAP HANA offers a high-performing and flexible data warehouse environment, essential to enable a more responsive and effective workforce. SAP AG (NYSE: SAP) today announced that SAP NetWeaver BW powered by SAP HANA was the most successful early adopter program in company history. The general availability was announced in April, more than a month ahead of schedule and with a growing list of more than 90 customers. NongFu Spring, USHA International Limited and Yazaki Europe are already among the many customers that have successfully implemented SAP NetWeaver BW powered by SAP HANA.
SAP customers in the pilot program have already experienced impressive performance gains in their instances of SAP NetWeaver BW, leading to faster reporting, data loading and information access. For many, such as Lenovo and USHA, specific reports ran over 20 times faster with SAP NetWeaver BW powered by SAP HANA than when running SAP NetWeaver BW on their standard platforms. Customers were able to dramatically shorten the decision window by delivering information into the hands of business users faster and enabling them to be more responsive. Early adopters of SAP NetWeaver BW powered by SAP HANA include Hilti, HomeTrust, NongFu Spring, USHA, Yazaki and many more.
"SAP NetWeaver BW on SAP HANA delivers tremendous business value to our customers with dramatically better analytic performance – up to 1,000 times faster – and faster load times – up to 20 times faster – while simplifying the customer landscape with reduced footprint and lowering of costs," said Dr. Vishal Sikka, member of the SAP Executive Board, Technology & Innovation. "SAP HANA provides a single persistent database that runs underneath an existing SAP NetWeaver BW system non-disruptively, a great example of timeless software engineering at its best."
NongFu Spring Experiences Smooth Migration, Faster Performance
Nongfu Spring, the largest producer of bottled water in China, started using SAP NetWeaver BW for reporting, which greatly improved its decision speed. In 2010, the data volume in its SAP NetWeaver BW system sharply increased to 3TBs. The overall performance started to degrade, affecting business users' productivity and prompting the company to look at other options.
"At that time, SAP NetWeaver BW was running on an Oracle database, and we found that the data display and reporting performance was very slow. To solve this problem, we opted to adopt SAP NetWeaver BW powered by SAP HANA," said Patrick Hoo, CIO, NongFu Spring. "We are so satisfied with the operation and speed of the entire implementation. According to feedback from end users, the speed of their standard SAP NetWeaver BW reports has been improved greatly and is now very fast. In addition, the running of the whole production system is stable with fast speed of the data extract, ETL and incremental updates."
SAP NetWeaver BW powered by SAP HANA gave NongFu Spring faster performance and better operations, while protecting original SAP NetWeaver BW user experience and investment developing DSOs, cubes and reports based on SAP NetWeaver BW.
USHA Gains Greater Visibility Across Enterprise, Optimizes Operations
From sewing machines to ceiling fans, USHA International Limited has products in almost every household in India. USHA wants to continue building on this success with timely, market-driven business decisions. But just as India's demand for consumer products has grown, so has the complexity of running a business that spans a nation of more than 1.2 billion people. To remain ahead of the competition, USHA needed full visibility across this widespread supply chain and the ability to respond rapidly to changing market demands. It also needed faster performance from a business warehouse that had been growing by more than 20 percent annually in recent years.
"We have a lot of business data," said Subodh Dubey, group CIO, USHA International Limited. "Yet to take full advantage of this resource, we need high-performance business analytics as well. That means faster data loads and faster query response times. That's why we chose SAP NetWeaver Business Warehouse powered by SAP HANA to enable lightning-quick data analysis."
USHA worked closely with SAP® Consulting and SAP® Enterprise Support services throughout the implementation process. This helped USHA complete the entire rollout in only four weeks. Today, USHA is using SAP NetWeaver BW powered by SAP HANA to gain faster insights and support more effective decision-making in operations such as supply chain, procurement, finance and sales. SAP HANA has significantly improved performance in terms of better data compression, faster data loads and reduced query response times, enabling USHA to maximize the value of its business data. And the ability to quickly analyze secondary sales data and check progress against monthly sales also helps the sales force achieve established targets.
"Reports on cash-flow and daily sales are now available at the click of a button," added Dubey. "For the first time we have sales visibility down to individual SKU and regional levels."
Yazaki Europe Accelerates Processes for Production, Logistics and Finance
Yazaki Europe, an automotive supplier and the world's largest producer of wiring harnesses for cars and trucks, had been using the 3.5 version of SAP NetWeaver BW. The company was having challenges with the performance of the existing reporting system.
"We chose SAP NetWeaver BW powered by SAP HANA to improve and accelerate several processes in the areas of finance and controlling, production and logistics," said Salim Siddiqi, CIO, Yazaki Europe. "So far, we have already seen major improvements and were able to accelerate some processes within finance and controlling, such as end-of-month closing, year-end closing and other common analysis in the area of controlling. Our next big step will be the acceleration of processes within the productive ERP system, among others in the area of production and logistics"

Speaking at a forum on women in the banking and finance industries yesterday, the CBA boss noted an unconscious bias in some companies that prevented gender equality.
"The issue in many organisations is a boys' club which is embedded and has to be broken – it can be seen as something that alienates or excludes women," he said. "We've had pockets of the boys' club and had to address that."
A portion of Mr Norris's controversial $16 million remuneration is linked to achieving diversity targets, which are also an input to the pay packets of other leading banks' chief executives.
Mr Norris noted that while many companies gave lip service to gender equality, this was of little use without a process to get results.
"We have looked at remuneration levels and compared like with like [in terms of roles] and found a discrepancy," he said. "We want to understand why that exists and turn it around."
Mr Norris suggested this was due to staff composition within the retail bank, where 73 per cent of employees are women and remuneration is at relatively lower levels compared to areas such as the business bank.
Other people to speak at the forum, including sex discrimination commissioner
They noted this would support the more sustainable progression of women through senior management to boards, in comparison with countries such as Norway, where companies are simply delisted if they fail to meet gender quotas.
But Ms Segal warned that in the absence of "serious progress across boards, we will probably see additional government intervention like procurement guidelines", which would exclude the grant of tenders to companies that fail diversity targets.
On measures to support diversity within CBA, Mr Norris noted that 42 per cent of staff worked flexible hours while 22 per cent of managers job share or work part time. A diversity council chaired by Mr Norris meets monthly.
"There is nothing worse than promoting people into roles they are not prepared for then not supporting them appropriately," he said.
Ms Broderick said cultural factors that played against equality would be tougher to overcome.
"Australians believe good mothers are always with their children and that the ideal worker is available 24/7," she said.
CBA has a target of 35 per cent of women at senior management by 2013 – up from 27.5 per cent currently. This compares with a target of 40 per cent by 2014 at
Separately yesterday, CBA confirmed it had postponed a staff Christmas party amid concerns the celebrations would draw attention to the bank, which has angered home owners by lifting mortgage rates above the Reserve Bank of Australia's official cash rate.

I'm trying out IMAP for several email accounts. I want to use it as a backup so I don't have to worry about backing up my email.
But to Sync everything up takes quite a while because WLM is checking each folder for new messages instead of juct the Inbox. Is
there any way I can control this? I would like to sync up all the folders only when I've made a change (like after I just created a
new folder and rearranged the messages in that account). I don't need it to check 100 folders for maybe 1 change I made a few
minutes ago. I just need it to check for new incoming messages - the Inbox.
POP isn't so bad but every time I create a folder in WLM, now I'll also have to do the same on my webmail account and move the
messages around. It will be a real hassle. Maybe backing up the email isn't so bad an idea after all!

(SportsNetwork.com) - LaMarcus Aldridge and the Portland Trail Blazers will close out a three-game homestand Wednesday versus the Cleveland Cavaliers.
The Blazers have won two straight since dropping two in a row and four of the previous six contests, and recorded a 112-104 victory versus Boston on Saturday at the Moda Center. Aldridge had 21 points on 8-of-15 shooting and also pulled down 13 rebounds. He was one of seven players to score in double figures and has netted 20 or more points in eight of his last nine contests.
Aldridge has posted 15 games of at least 20 points and 10 rebounds this season, the fourth most in the league.
Nicolas Batum added 16 points, seven rebounds and seven assists, Wesley Matthews had 18 points and Robin Lopez finished with 15 points and 13 rebounds for the Blazers, who improved to 15-4 in the Rose City. Damian Lillard scored 15 points to go with six assists, Mo Williams scored 11 points and rookie C.J. McCollum contributed 10 off the bench in the win.
"Well it's always good to get a win," Blazers coach Terry Stotts said. "You try not to be disappointed about not playing necessarily as well as you wanted to. Offensively, we were good and defensively, we were good when we needed to be. But this stretch of playing teams with a lesser record, apparently is tough for us to get up for. But in the end, it was good to get the win."
Portland is first in the NBA with 109.1 points per game, but is allowing 102.9 ppg on defense. After hosting the Cavaliers, the Trail Blazers will begin a four-game road trip against San Antonio, Dallas, Houston and Oklahoma City.
The Cavs will continue their five-game road trip and won for the third time in the past four tries with Tuesday's 120-118 victory over the Los Angeles Lakers. Luol Deng led the way with 27 points and Anderson Varejao chipped in 18 and 18 rebounds.
Dion Waiters and Kyrie Irving scored 17 and 13 points, respectively, while Tristan Thompson recorded 15 points to go along with 13 rebounds for the Cavaliers, who buried 13-of-17 3-pointers. Deng buried all five of his shots from downtown and Matthew Dellavedova made 3-of-5 3-pointers en route to 11 points.
"We found a way to win. Give our guys credit, they scrapped their way to a win. We have to understand we have to defend first. We did enough just to get a win," said Cavs head coach Mike Brown, who returned to Los Angeles for the first time since he was fired by the Lakers after a disappointing 1-4 start to last season.
Cleveland outrebounded L.A. by a 48-35 margin and is 4-16 on the road. It will close the trip Friday at Denver and is scheduled to play five straight at home versus Dallas, Chicago, Milwaukee, Phoenix and New Orleans.
The Cavaliers lost to the Trail Blazers 119-116 on Dec. 17 at Quicken Loans Arena, where Lillard hit the game-winning 3-pointer and finished with 36 points, 10 assists and eight rebounds. Aldridge had 26 points and 15 boards in that one, while Irving and Waiters scored 25 points apiece.
Portland is 5-1 in the last six meetings with Cleveland.

Sony to Sign $60 Million Live Nation Deal for Upcoming Shakira Albums
Sony is reportedly thisclose from signing a $60 million deal with Live Nation that would enable the concert promoters to record and release Shakira's next albums. Historically, Live Nation had to pair up with record companies to implement its 360 deals, which govern the revenue from sponsorships, merchandise, concerts and recorded music. Jay-Z and Madonna are two artists who've recently ditched standard record backers to go the Live Nation route.
Under the terms of the deal, Sony and Live Nation would split sales, according to The New York Post's insider. Sony would then serve as the distributor for Shakira's next three albums.
Insiders quibble on the exact details of the deal — some say it's $60 million, while others say it's less than that. Madonna's deal with Live Nation for MDNA was rumored to be around $30 million.
