With Scott Holland, senior director at the Hackett Group, a provider of business process best practice strategies and metrics
This interview originally appeared in the IT Business Edge weekly report on Aligning IT and Business Goals. To see a complete listing of IT Business Edge weekly reports or sign up for this free technology intelligence agent, visit www.itbusinessedge.com.
Question: How does a new CIO know that his organization's IT goals aren't in sync with its overall business goals?
Holland: The first red flag from a senior level is whether he or she is sitting at the table. Are they invited to the management committee table? If not, how can they possibly be aligned? It sounds kind of elementary school, but if the CIO is reporting to the CFO, the chances are that IT is being viewed as more of a cost center and more of a utility, than it is if he reports to the CEO where the CIO is viewed as a strategic enabler.
Question: What's the first thing you do to fix that situation?
Holland: You can't force yourself to report to the CEO. You're going to have to call upon what I would call external sources. For example, you would want to go get external metrics that would first give you a baseline of where you are, and secondly provide empirical data that supports your industry and what best practices are. What those metrics can do is help shed light into scenarios of who should report to whom, how things should be aligned. [You say] "Look, this is what's going on in our industry." If I were the CIO and reported to the CFO, I would suggest that we do this. If there were opportunities for improvement, then let the CEO or the CFO be the champion of the study, so that he or she could think that they are the ones making the right decisions.
Question: How does a CIO measure his or her success?
Holland: We only analyze and investigate when we perceive there's a problem. So it's more of a reactionary approach than a proactive approach. So I would advocate a continuous measurement or monitoring program. What you would do is, on a quarterly basis, say, you would do some form of measurement that would do a couple of things. One would [be to] determine success of progress you made in your endeavor to improve. The other thing is to test the market or the industry to see whether or not your choice to go down this path still follows suit.

ATLANTA - Life was rolling along for Allie Brokhoff.
She and her husband, Andrew, had just settled into their Richmond Hill home, and a trip to the doctor's office in mid-August 2007 confirmed she was three weeks away from adding a third healthy boy to their brood - Ethan Isaac Shark Brokhoff, a name their two sons helped to choose.
Days later, she noticed the baby wasn't moving much.
Brokhoff's slowly growing worry eased on a return visit to her doctor's office, where an ultrasound scan picked up a heartbeat.
Then came the bad news: That heartbeat was her own.
Ethan Brokhoff became one of the roughly 1,000 stillborn babies reported in Georgia each year. His grieving mother was later told she was not entitled to a record showing that he entered the world, only a certificate showing he died as a fetus.
"When you carry a child, you have all kinds of expectations and hopes and dreams - and they just end," Brokhoff said. "And for some people to not recognize your child as a child is just an added insult."
A law that took effect this month seeks to help ease the psychological pain parents feel after a stillbirth. The No Heartbeat Act allows parents to obtain a certificate of birth resulting in stillbirth, a document proponents say will help console parents and assist researchers studying the phenomenon.
A stillbirth occurs when a fetus dies after 20 weeks, halfway to full term. Although 25,000 babies are born dead each year in the United States, doctors and parents never learn the cause of death in about half of all cases, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Doctors were unable to determine why Ethan died, Brokhoff said.
Joanne Cacciatore-Garard, a doctor who researches stillbirths at Arizona State University and founder of a nationwide stillbirth-support group, the MISS Foundation, said infant deaths have been reduced in the past 20 years, largely because of monitoring.
Yet the number of stillbirths remains unchanged year to year because the deaths are not being recorded as such in many states, Cacciatore-Garard said.
The issue caught the attention of Marcia McGinnis, who runs a support group for grieving parents. McGinnis and a handful of group members enlisted state Sen. Dan Weber, R-Dunwoody, to carry a bill through the Georgia General Assembly to allow parents to get stillbirth certificates.
Georgia became the 23rd state to enact a law allowing parents to obtain the certificate.
Like many parents who experience stillbirth, Brokhoff and her husband keep a memory box that holds a picture, a lock of hair, footprints and ultrasound images of Ethan.
She expects her son's certificate to arrive soon from the state Vital Records Office.

Verizon's lawsuit against the FCC regarding net neutrality will be heard in the DC circuit court, this as a result of a lottery drawing. Verizon lawyers are high fiving because it's seen as a court that will be very sympathetic to Verizon's cause. At least I assume they're high-fiving. Seems like the kind of thing they would do.
"Verizon has good reasons for wanting to be in the D.C. Circuit," said John Hane, a telecommunications lawyer at Pillsbury Winthrop. "The D.C. Circuit has construed the FCC's ancillary authority narrowly, notably, just a couple of years ago, when it rejected an FCC rule that required wireless carriers to meet high standards for backup power at tower sites."
As we discussed on Tech Report today, the lawsuits will come down to whether a court finds that the FCC has authority to regulate the internet. The FCC says it does, those whom they would regulate say it does not.
The FCC also filed a motion this week to dismiss Verizon's suit pre-trial.

Johannesburg – The Association of Mineworkers and Construction Workers Union (Amcu) on Friday called on the Department of Mineral Resources (DMR) to start a preliminary investigation into the mining disaster at Lily mine.
Amcu president Joseph Mathunjwa said the safety of mineworkers was still not regarded as a priority by the mining industry, adding that the Mine Health and Safety Act needed to be transformed.
Three workers – Yvonne Mnisi, Pretty Mabuza and Solomon Nyarenda – have been trapped underground on February 5 when the container they were working in fell into a sinkhole created by a collapsed crown pillar, before it was covered by huge rocks at Vantage Goldfields Lily mine in Barberton, Mpumalanga.
Mathunjwa said though the union would have preferred removing the back-filling as a rescue mission at the site of the collapsed mine, their method was not "scientifically calculated" and they had to live with the decision confirmed by the DMR to open a new decline shaft which would take six months.
"We need to be clear that this does not suggest that once the decline shaft is completed, the container will be immediately recovered. There will still be another search operation that has to take place and that is the reality everyone must live with," Mathunjwa said.
"We call upon the Ministry to start a preliminary investigation into what led to this tragedy."
The Mineral Resources department has previously indicated that the investigation of the collapse would begin once the container was recovered from underground.
Mathunjwa was addressing the media on various issues related to the mining industry, including retrenchments, attacks and killings of his union members in Rustenburg, and allegations of corruption within the union.
Mathunjwa said Amcu was worried about contemplated retrenchments in the industry, and their impact on the economy as a whole.
He said they were opposed to the strategy employed by mining companies to support competitiveness and sustainability as it resulted in job losses.
"As a union, we are opposed to this strategy which uses worker retrenchments as cannon fodder for profits and shareholder interests," he said.
Mathunjwa claimed that through Amcu's interventions, they had managed to save 6 000 jobs at Lonmin, and a further 1 600 at Impala Platinum mine, through reskilling and deployment.
Addressing the attacks on his union members, Mathunjwa said four Amcu members were shot at by unknown suspects recently at the Acquarius Platinum Mine in Rustenburg, resulting in one death.
He said he would not point fingers at anyone, adding that the Amcu was cooperating with police investigations.
Mathunjwa also criticised the media for how it covered the arrests of its members who were arrested for corruption at Impala Platinum mine.
It was reported last week that seven Amcu members, who were all trustees of the Impala Workers Provident Fund, were arrested by the Hawks at Impala Platinum mine for allegedly soliciting more than R2 million in bribes from an insurance company that administers its retirement funds.
Mathunjwa said those were ordinary members of Amcu, not trustees as it was reported, also saying the Hawks had verified that the suspects had solicited R35 000 and not R2 million from service providers.

Gay Mumbai
Mumbai, formerly known as Bombay, is one of India's richest and most popular cities. It is a cosmopolitan metropolis that serves as India's commercial capital. Mumbai has seven districts, with each neighborhood having been built in successive waves of immigration. Because of its rich diversity, this city is one of India's most liberal.
Mumbai's three main seasons are Summer, Monsoon, and Winter- which is just a milder version of Summer. The ideal time to visit this rich city is between the months of November and February during winter. Summers can be hot and humid, and from June to September the city is hit with torrential downpour. During this monsoon season, floods cause normal Mumbai life to come to a stand still so the best time to visit is when the weather is less wet!
This rich cultural center is very connected to major cities around the world so it is easy to get direct flights. The majority of Mumbai residents use public transportation to get around. Taxis are cheap and plentiful so this is always a great option for seeing the city. Auto-rickshaws are alternatives for transportation, although they tend to involve some quite wild rides. Mumbai also has various bus and rail lines which are awesome ways to see the city.
Mumbai is a city that is relatively safe for its size and influence. Like any urban destination though, it is advised to take normal safety precautions like staying in well-lit areas and always traveling in groups. It's a good idea to keep cash on you because some places won't take credit card- although all forms of money should be kept well-concealed.

Watford will play their second match in six days at Boreham Wood's Meadow Park ground when they face Coventry City on Wednesday evening.
The Hornets continued their preparations for the new Championship season with a 5-0 win in scorching conditions at St Albans City on Saturday afternoon, following on from a 1-0 victory over the Wood 48 hours earlier.
For Steven Pressley's Sky Blues, Wednesday's clash is their sixth of pre-season after a 1-0 defeat at Newport County on Tuesday evening.
Pre-season began with a washout at local side Nuneaton Town; freak weather causing the match to be abandoned midway through the second half with the Conference side leading 1-0.
A three-match tour of Italy followed, with a win, a draw and a loss against Roma 'B', Chievo and Greek side, AEL Kalloni, respectively.
Pressley has been active in the transfer market, bolstering his squad with seven new faces. The most recent of those additions is former Nottingham Forest forward, Marcus Tudgay, who was signed on Tuesday evening.
The Derby County trainee joined the Sky Blues on a free transfer after finding playing time increasingly hard to come by at the City Ground.
In the past two seasons, the 31-year-old has played just 176 minutes of Championship football for the Tricky Trees, spending time out on loan at Barnsley (twice) and Charlton Athletic.
A return of 52 goals in 211 appearances in all competitions was enough to persuade Forest to take the then-Sheffield Wednesday frontman on loan before signing him for undisclosed fee a little over a month later.
Creative midfielder Danny Swanson has arrived from League One rivals Peterborough United on a free transfer, whilst forward Shaun Miller has joined from Sheffield United following a frustrating two-year stay at Bramall Lane.
Benin defender Reda Johnson – capable of playing at left-back or centre-half – has also joined following the expiration of his Wednesday contract, beefing up the City backline.
Former Celtic, Motherwell and Barnsley winger Jim O'Brien will inject some creativity and unpredictability into the wide areas after leaving Oakwell at the end of the season to move to Sixfields.
Between the sticks, former Arsenal and Bury goalkeeper Reice Charles-Cook will be keen to step into the boots of outgoing number one, Joe Murphy, who has joined Championship side Huddersfield Town.
Reice-Cook will face stiff competition from young Bournemouth stopper Ryan Allsop, who has joined on a six-month loan deal until January.
Versatile former Manchester United, Leeds United, Preston North End and Stoke City left-sider, Danny Pugh, signed on a free transfer after being released by the Whites at the end of his contract.
The main departure for City, who will play outside of Coventry once more this season, was striker Callum Wilson.
Twenty-two-year-old Wilson top-scored for City with 21 league goals in 37 starts last term, prompting interest from Bournemouth, who paid out to bring the talented young forward to the south coast.
Defender Cyrus Christie – also a product of the club's academy system – has stepped up to the Championship too, joining Steve McClaren's Derby County for an undisclosed fee.
Christie had made more than 100 appearances for Coventry at the age of just 21, joining the Rams after his contract with his hometown club expired.

Two Upper Darby women were arrested on prostitution charges last week after their neighbors called police complaining about traffic outside of their homes, according to the Delaware County Daily Times.
Police tell the paper that 36-year-old Carol Watkins, a.k.a. "Kandee," of the 4200 block of Rosemont Avenue and 48-year-old Hong Li, who lived in a third-floor apartment on the 8600 block of West Chester Pike, were working as prostitutes out of their residences, using websites to solicit business.
Police say one of the woman charged as much as $200 an hour for her services and the other, Li, has a previous prostitution arrest in Texas.
Superintendent Michael Chitwood told the Delco Times that police confiscated lingerie from both "Kandee" and Lee's homes at the time of their arrests.

Goalpost returns to campusNov. 6, 1998
Within 24 hours of the monumental event, someone had plastered the scene on a T-shirt and was selling it to excited Baylor students. The front stated, 'The day the goalpost fell,' surrounding the inter-locking BU on the left lapel. The back stated, 'God may have made the sunset burnt orange, but Heaven is green and gold' with a photo of the after-game scene.
One year ago Saturday, the Baylor Line and other fans showed their love for the Baylor Bear football team when they attacked the south endzone goalpost at Floyd Casey Stadium and ripped the U-section from its base. The crowd, celebrating the Bears' 23-21 homecoming victory over long-time rivals, the University of Texas Longhorns, could not be stopped.
According to an article about the event in last year's Nov. 4 Baylor Lariat , Baylor Police Chief Jim Doak said his staff 'had no intentions of putting a damper on the fans' emotion and spirit.'
After the goalpost was torn off its base, the Baylor Line and others marched the trophy 25 blocks back to campus. After a short rest at the Bill Daniel Student Center, students took the goalpost to President Robert B. Sloan Jr.'s home. As reported last year, Sloan and his wife said they were 'excited to find the figure in their yard late Saturday night.'
After students left President Sloan's house, they returned to the Bill Daniel Student Center and placed the goalpost on the grassy area facing Fifth Street. The post remained there for all to see. Several television stations even came out to cover the event.
In the days to follow, students and faculty, armed with magic markers, wrote all kinds of messages on the uprights. Most messages were as simple as a name and classification, while others were testimonials of love.
These days, the prized possession of Baylor football fans, especially sophomores, is lacquered in three pieces and covered in plastic in the Baylor Physical Plant. The goalpost has been stored there since last November, free of charge to Baylor.
The goalpost will be on display for people to see during the homecoming festivities.
'Students will be able to see it in close contact during homecoming,' sophomore class president Jon Rolph said.
Students must make the most of this opportunity to find their signatures, however, because when the weekend is over the goalpost will return to its permanent home at the physical plant. The freshman class voted last year to keep the prize in storage and to only bring it out once a year.
'The freshmen decided to not put it in a permanent place because they thought it might lose some of its luster,' Rolph said. 'It would be more special to bring it out once a year.'
Although the Bears are underdogs to the Kansas State University Wildcats for tomorrow's game, the Baylor Department of Public Safety is considering some options in case of another monumental incident.
According to police Chief Jim Doak, the department has 'thought about it, and given consideration to it,' but prefers to keep its specific plans confidential.
A Baylor win over Kansas State would not only be an upset, it would almost be an open invitation to the Baylor Line to repeat the actions of Homecoming 1997, Doak hinted.
'If we beat Kansas State, maybe we deserve to tear the goalpost down,' he said.

"When returning love, becomes to Late"
From her eyes
His name the name
She mumbles silently
3 rivers, 3 years, 2 many tears
She loves him endlessly
Sending her soul
A free feeling,
Finally, he fell
Engaging, equal to the spell
Morning, mountains and more
Move across a new age moon
His heart happily
Traveling towards hers
Dashing dandy, onto her dinner plate
Too long she waited,
She's not hungry, her heart self healed
3 rivers 3 years 2 late
Her tears faded his rusty name
Copyright © SKAT A | Year Posted 2014
She tells me,
Of the belt of hunger that clings to her waist,
Of how it's only ever loosened by rampaging and rummaging through waste.
She tells me,
How her journey through payments, predicaments and pavements make her tire,
How her cracked feet and wracked heart are passed by Tyre after Tyre.
She tells me,
About the intricate diagnoses and prognoses that riddle her every fiber, vessel and vein,
About the cardboard pleas and pleads that have all been in vain.
She tells me,
That this is the existence her weeping womb has bred,
That her hope for her successors is that they may succeed her in the fight for bread.
She tells me,
Her name is poverty.
Do you remember her?

Roses blossoms in red like your cheeks,
violets are blue, like your opened eyes
If the rain makes all things beautiful.
Shower me with tiny drops plentiful
I sketched your face on the sand it got washed.
I wrote your name in air, it was blown
The grass and flowers too.
If rain makes all things beautiful
Why doesn't it rain on you?
then I wrote your name in my heart
after that, it became an incurable hurt

New Release,
Thin line,
Time descease,
Bright shine.
Ahead of the game,
Shown by evidence,
Professionals name,
Body filled; tense.
I'm clear of doubt,
Finally here,
All about,
The rippled sheer.
Unraveling down West,
Opening up; tall,
Best of the best,
If I can't walk, I'll crawl.
There's intense steam,
Blowing smoke,
Common ground; team,
Haters will hit;but choke.
Phrases by action,
My hand flow,
Stylistic traction,
High to low.
Artistic up front,
Surveying for you,
Messages to hunt,
Head of the crew.
Unwind to heal,
Natural mind at work,
Beauty to kneel,
Intentions to merk.
Parallel order,
Tinkering my brain,
Letter hoarder,
On paper to strain.
I shall generate,
The emphasis expectations,
Stirring up bate,
Hear my unique creations.

they work for lucifer so they do what they have to, to get thier share
piece the puzzle and you will find it
Jesus Christ is luccifer he has all you misguided he himself and his dominions where all behind it.

My moon shun windows have been unhinged
and a panoramic mind binged on self deplore freed
Indeed by the defined journey I've moved through.
Through you the miraculous reflections of self-love I find
once blind, now bare to the rendezvous of this world,
of sound mind I realize my every breath is filled
as I am willed towards the prodigy I feel around me
I breathe…
and life is seethed by the seed that we breathe.
My solo soul drum beats its pure sound
of unbound rhythms found above ground as I stargaze
my eyes glaze over raving in shimmering light,
feeling every word that I write authenticated,
painted across my heart untainted…
I aspire to be a living love…
and I breathe…
as life is seethed by the seed that we breathe.
I am not alone with thought as I walk,
wobbling along the road of existence I implode
knowing another heart in hand senses what I feel
as though the wheel of vitality destined it to so be…
so it be…
A waterfall of awakening spirit I drink its sugary taste,
mingled around my space…that place you give me,
and a gift I graciously give to you…
my undistorted expression undressed I stand astonished,
forgiving regrets I've gathered on my shawl of shame
as if a new name within my name has unearthed me
and I breathe…
as life is seethed by the seed that we breathe.
The bird of dreams sang to me one morning I woke,
invoked in me the music I once spoke without doubt,
and now as you attract me out from my hiding place,
leave your unforgettable trace amidst my days
I find new ways to stroke my pen across this page…
Uncaged…an aged energy of new I feel within you
and I breathe…
as life is seethed by the seed that we breathe.

It's true that Bay's perennially tough girls soccer team moved up to Division I this year. It's also true that Bay won the West Shore Conference championship yet again.
But ask yourself: Would you rather be a conference champion on the sidelines, such as Bay, or a district champion still playing soccer and making school history?
Avon, which for years has been a strong team at tournament time, has always faced the unhappy likelihood of running into Bay somewhere at the sectional-district level. Bay, a three-time state champion, has been the one to advance to the Division II regionals.
This year, it's a different story in part because all of the above really happened.
Bay, based on female enrollment, moved up to Division I and was recently ousted from the Rocky River district tournament by North Olmsted, a former Southwestern Conference rival. Avon, still in Division II, made school history on Saturday, winning its first-ever district championship over Buckeye in a shootout.
The result is the Eagles (13-3-3) move on to their first regional semifinal at
7 p.m. Wednesday in Brunswick. They'll take on the Chagrin Falls Tigers (12-5-3), a former state champion and a team they've already defeated this year — 2-0 in a non-conference match at home on Sept. 15.
Don't get all excited, Eagles fans. It wasn't that easy and it could turn out differently this time, said Avon coach Brian Irwin.
"That was a game I look back on and it could have been 2-0 either way," he said. "It was a tough match and I'm sure Wednesday will be even more so."
Maybe. But co-captains Nicole Lavelle, the best female defender in Lorain County, and midfielder Jamie Meiser are confident.
"I would definitely think we can get through this next game," said Lavelle. "There's no excuse for losing to someone you beat earlier in the season, especially because we have worked twice as hard to get where we are now. I definitely think we can handle it Wednesday. I believe in our team."
Meiser said she knows Chagrin Falls will want to avenge the regular-season loss.
"If I were them, I'd definitely want to beat us," she said. "I know they're going to come out hard, so we need to play our game. I think we should win if we play well."
All of which is fine. But Chagrin Falls starts five seniors, including its goalkeeper, Alison Moy. Avon starts four freshmen and a sophomore, which sounds as though the Eagles are giving something away in terms of experience.
Not necessarily, said Meiser.
"Being a freshman and starting with the varsity is a huge deal," Meiser said, "and I think these freshmen have really stepped up. Throwing in a bunch of freshmen at the beginning was really hard, but I think we've gelled really well.
"It was crazy, it's amazing that we won on Saturday," she added. "That was important for the seniors and we really appreciate the freshmen trying to win for us."
The fact that freshmen are a big part of the season has been a factor in the team's success.
"I thought last year would be our year to do something, but we didn't," said Lavelle, who has started every game since she was a freshman. "We lost 10 seniors and we'd all played together. Losing 10 seniors and having all the freshmen we have this year — to do something like this is totally unexpected."
"It's really been different," said Irwin. "It's been a year of unknowns, really. At the beginning of the year, I was excited about the number of kids and what that held for the future. We went away to Ashland University for a team camp and all the freshmen went.
"I started to get a little excited sitting back and watching these freshmen play and figuring out where some of them will factor in. My only concern was size. I chuckled the whole time we were in Ashland thinking that with all these freshmen, this is the smallest team I've ever coached. We don't have a lot of big bruisers."
Case in point: Sammy Bender, a freshman and one of the Eagles' leading scorers, is 5-foot-1.
"But their personalities – they're a little bit more carefree than some of the older girls," Irwin said. "You could tell they were glad to get here and were willing to work hard, but they knew how to have fun. It's great to have that kind of youth. It's nice to have that energy out there and the older girls quickly realize this is a big plus.
"The whole season has been a huge surprise. It's a fun group of kids to be with and their enthusiasm gets in you. You come to practice and they're willing to do anything. They do it with enthusiasm and it becomes infectious. We're all having a good time."

Legal Question in Immigration Law in Wisconsin
I have a male family member currently incarcerated awaiting deportation to Pakistan. Is there a possibility he might be able to get to Canada to apply for residency based on humanitatian reasons. He was born in PAK but as a very young child moved to the UAE and at the age of 12 came to the USA and has been here since. I married his mom and applied for her green card but he was 18 at the time and I couldn't bring him under the application as I did the other minor children. He has never lived in PAK and returning there will be as going to an alien country . His current situation is a a result of 9-11 and circumstances beyond his control.
1 Answer from Attorneys
Re: Deportation
I need to ask a few more questions in order to give you guidance.
Are you and your wife still Permanent Residents? Or have you naturalized to become citizens? Is your family member married to a US Citizen or Lawful Permanent Resident?
What was the reason for your family member's arrest? Does he have a criminal record?
Perhaps I can provide some guidance once I receive the answers.
Thank you!

Great Value
By Alison WB
from New York
Blick had lowest price on this premium product. Oil prime can be mixed with oil pigments for a velvet finish across a pre-gessoed board or canvas. Very happy to deal with Blick - professional, FAST, and exactly as advertised.
My new favorite ground
By Paint Spry
from Butler, PA
I've just switched to this brand after years of using Gamblin's ground. Gamblin is still one of my favorite paints, but their ground makes little bumps even when thinned with gamsol. This brand's primer is much easier to apply smoothly to both canvas and aluminum panels. It is also much quicker. I love the way it takes the paint without absorbing it like a gesso would. Great product
I would buy it again
By Berry Boy Blue
from Idaho
Really thin compared to Gamblin but way Better than gesso! I would buy it again...
Great surface for oil painting
By Janutsa
from Durango CO
I am new to oil painting primer, so I cannot compare it to other brands, but I have been very pleased with it. I thought by purchasing pre-primed canvass that I was ready to paint. I was pleasantly surprised once I put a layer of primer on my canvas. It came out smoother and whitener - a great base on which to paint. The primer dried overnight and was ready to paint on the next day. Applying oil paint was much easier and blending seemed to be enhanced. On another canvas, I put a thin layer of the primer over my sketch. I was surprised that I was able to see the drawing through the primer. I will continue to use this primer even when my surface is already prepared.

Brushable Primer
By Elly
from Corunna, IN
To cover large canvases, I thin this primer with a little mineral spirits and apply three coats after a couple coats of rabbit skin glue. Easily the most brushable oil primer I've found.

Buttery and extremely long lasting!
By Quinacridone for the win!
from Bloomington, IN
This was my first foray into oil primer, and I couldn't be happier with the results. I covered a 6x4 foot canvas and used less than an inch of paint from the small can.

A man and his wife were arrested Thursday night following an armed robbery at the Footaction USA store inside the Chula Vista Mall, which was packed with holiday shoppers.
The woman is suspected of being a getaway driver, said Chula Vista police Lt. Daniel Hardman.
Two men entered the store about 5 p.m. One displayed a handgun. They forced employees to the back of the store and demanded shoes and cash. The robbers became agitated, causing the employees "to be in considerable fear," Hardman said.
The thieves tried to run out the back of the store, but could not get the door open. In the confusion, one employee was able to flee out the front and notify mall security, who called 911.
The robbers, carrying bags of stolen shoes, ran out the front door and through the mall. Police officers who responded saw two men running from the south parking lot onto Fifth Avenue and into a residential area.
One suspect was found on the roof of a nearby house. He refused to come down. Officers were able to get him to come off the roof about 15 minutes later. No one was in the home at the time, Hardman said.
Police officers, a Sheriff's Department helicopter and three canines searched for the other suspect, but were unable to locate him. Detectives have identified him, Hardman said. All the stolen property was recovered.
The two men may be suspects in other recent armed robberies in Chula Vista and elsewhere in San Diego County, Hardman said.
The suspect being sought was described as black, 5 feet 11 inches tall, and 180 pounds. He was wearing all black, Hardman said.
Hardman identified the man arrested as Lukmond Muhammad, 24 and the woman as his wife, Patria Muhammad, 20.

#BreadChat February 2013 transcript
Hello, this is bagel_and_rye from Chicago Amateur Bread Bakers. Today we hosted our monthly #BreadChat on Twitter. The topic was the various yeasts available to both amateur and professional bread bakers. We asked the following questions:
Q1: Let's review various types of yeast: wild, fresh, dry active, instant, osmotolerant. In which breads are they used? Why? #BreadChat
Q2: Some commercial yeasts are hard to find in some parts of the world. Can we substitute one type of yeast for another? How? #BreadChat
Q3: Baker's maxim: use minimum yeast to develop maximum flavor from flour. Techniques for this--time, temperature, pre-ferments? #BreadChat
Our co-hosts this month were:
- Eric Duhamel (@EricFrenchBaker ), Master Baker at @DaylesfordFarm (http://www.daylesfordorganic.com/engine/shop/index.html).
- Paulo Sebastião (@floursaltwater), baker's apprentice with Mattias Wallmark at Söderbergs Bageri in Stockholm, Sweden. Paulo's blog: http://takemybreadaway.se.
- Sonya Hundal (@MortalGreenWhim), owner of the micro-bakery, Greenfield Bakers (http://www.facebook.com/pages/Greenfield-Bakers/214020318661649).
This month's #BreadChat transcript is quite long, so we've made it available as a PDF: http://bit.ly/BreadChat2013Feb20PDF

Unilateral Resource Management in a Two-Country General Equilibrium Model of Trade in a Renewable Fishery Resource
We explore the effects of free trade in a renewable natural resource between two countries in the presence of incomplete property rights. While resource management by one country may benefit one or both trading partners, we demonstrate that resource management by only one of the partners may reduce welfare for both, when compared to the case in which neither manages its resource sector. These trade-induced losses may be reduced through import tariffs and production subsidies on the resource good or by permitting harvest beyond the rent-maximizing level. Our preliminary work suggests that the World Trade Organization (WTO) and North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) policy makers should not always insist on free trade and resource management. Rather, they must pay careful attention to the particular relationships between trade conditions and natural resource policies among trading nations. Copyright 2000, Oxford University Press.

AT&T's 4G LTE comes to 30 new markets
AT&T has continued to expand its 4G LTe network at phenomenal pace, bringing the service to 30 new markets today, whilst expanding several more.
The 30 new markets are as follows:
- Pine Bluff, Ark. (includes parts of Altheimer, Sheridan, Stuttgart, Redfield and White Hall)
- Searcy, Ark.
- Chico-Oroville, Calif.
- Grand Junction, Colo.
- Silverthorne, Colo.
- Homosassa Springs, Fla.
- Palatka, Fla.
- Milledgeville, Ga.
- Valdosta, Ga.
- Lafayette, La. (also includes portions of Broussard and Youngstown)
- Morgan City, La.
- Cape Cod, Mass.
- New Ulm, Minn.
- Corinth-New Albany, Miss.
- Greenwood-Cleveland, Miss.
- Grenada, Miss.
- Meridian, Miss.
- Cape Girardeau, Mo.
- Lawton, Okla.
- Atlantic City, N.J. (includes Brigantine, Hamilton Township, Longport, Margate City, Mays Landing and Ventnor City)
- Batavia, N.Y. (also includes portions of surrounding areas)
- Dunn, N.C.
- Dillon, S.C.
- Midland and Odessa, Texas
- Sherman-Denison, Texas
- Victoria, Texas
- St. Croix, Virgin Islands
- St. Thomas, Virgin Islands
- Bremerton, Wash.
- Moses Lake, Wash.
- Yakima, Wash.
- Beckley and Oak Hill, W.Va.
As mentioned, on top of this, AT&T has expanded some of its pre-existing 4G LTE markets. This covers the following areas:
- Greater Mobile market, Ala. (now extends to parts of Central Baldwin County, including Bay Minette, and South Baldwin)
- Duluth-Superior, Minn. (now includes Duluth-Superior, Cloquet and the I-35 corridor connecting the Twin Cities and Cloquet)
- Twin Cities, Minn. (now extends north to Stacy and along the Interstate-35 corridor to Cloquet; east to Elmwood, Wisconsin; south to New Prague; and west to Winsted)
- Starkville, Miss. (now includes parts of West Point)
- Corpus Christi, Texas (now includes the Interstate 35 corridor from Corpus Christi to San Antonio)
- San Antonio, Texas (now covers the Interstate 37 corridor from San Antonio to Corpus Christi)
If you happen to live in these areas, then this is fantastic news. However if you don't, then hold on! AT&T's 4G network is probably the fastest expanding service in the U.S. If you haven't yet fallen under its massive blanket of 4G coverage, then that day is not far away.

You Ain't Got To Lie To Kick It!
After being in a relationship with my husband for 7 years, I know when he's lying. It's not a look in the face or how he says it, I feel it. Something in his spirit tells me when he's lying. Then I get that invisible slap in the face. Why lie to me? It's Mack.
Stupid Dudes that Suck
I am at work and got 3 missed calls from him, and 7 text messages. WTF? Where is your wife?! When I called him back, I simply said in my Boujie tone, "Hey, don't think I was avoiding your phone calls and texts today. I was really busy at work. Next time just leave me a message and I will call you back, don't blow me up." TELL ME WHY did this dude go off on me
Are WE in Love Yet?
Another woman meets a nice guy. He didn't show any qualities of a loser or crazy-stalker-who-might-kill-you-in-the-middle-of-the-night signs. After about a month, he starts talking about having no place to live and wants to "crash" at her place until he gets himself together.
Peace &Wants…when roses are not red…
There comes a time when you have to choose between Peace and Wants. Sometimes peace leaves you alone but happy. When we are in relationships with people, be it romantic, friendship or families, we come to a crossroad. When we reach these crossroads we make a decision on whether or not to continue with this other person.
Are You FU^%$^$% My Man Part 3
After you realize that your other half is trying to make a whole with someone else, there are things we need to immediately understand. It is important to be calm at all times. Go and let your rage out somewhere else before you deal with him, because if you do it while he's there, i.e. confrontation violent style, things will only go left. Let the shock settle when you know for sure. Do NOT go accusing anyone of anything until you are sure. Period.
"Are you FU^%$^$ My Man" Part 2
The first rule you need to comprehend and I mean you need to get this. SHE DOES NOT OWE YOU ANYTHING. Contacting a woman that you think you man is doing God knows what with, will not guarantee you anything. You should be taking it up with him. If he is lying and you don't believe anything he has to say, why are you with him? Don't spend your life stressing over a liar. It's a hard truth but you know better.
"Are You FU%$# My Man?" Part 1
If you are "messing" with him and you didn't know. Again, you can go two different ways. You can let her know you didn't know and have a conversation that big girls can have. The other option is to fry his ass. Is this who you want to be with? If he did this to her, can he do it to you? Technically he already did.

A MOTHER whose six-week-old son died has raised hundreds of pounds to thank the doctors and nurses who tried to save him.
Tessa Jack held a fundraising event at St Luke's Church in Canning Crescent, South Oxford, on Saturday, with dance performances, face painting, a bouncy castle, Henna tattoos, games and a raffle.
The 21-year-old raised about £400 for the John Radcliffe Hospital's paediatric intensive care unit.
Miss Jack, who lives in Windmill Road, Headington, said: "They tried so hard to give us a peaceful goodbye and I am really grateful. I found it inspirational.
"It was a really good event and I think I am going to organise another one."
Takai Omari Jack was a "perfectly healthy" baby when he was born on February 23, 2013, weighing 6lb 10.5oz.
But on April 8 that year, Miss Jack found her son wasn't breathing and rushed him to hospital where he was diagnosed with two viruses and his organs started failing.
He was in hospital for 38 hours and died on April 10, 2013.

Stanford, CA (SPX) Apr 24, 2007
Large swaths of garbled human DNA once dismissed as junk appear to contain some valuable sections, according to a new study by researchers at the Stanford University School of Medicine and the University of California-Santa Cruz. The scientists propose that this redeemed DNA plays a role in controlling when genes turn on and off.
Gill Bejerano, PhD, assistant professor of developmental biology and of computer science at Stanford, found more than 10,000 nearly identical genetic snippets dotting the human chromosomes. Many of those snippets were located in gene-free chromosomal expanses once described by geneticists as "gene deserts." These sections are, in fact, so clogged with useful DNA bits - including the ones Bejerano and his colleagues describe - that they've been renamed "regulatory jungles."
"It's funny how quickly the field is now evolving," Bejerano said. His work picking out these snippets and describing why they might exist will be published in the April 23 advance online issue of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
It turns out that most of the segments described in the research paper cluster near genes that play a carefully orchestrated role during an animal's first few weeks after conception. Bejerano and his colleagues think that these sequences help in the intricate choreography of when and where those genes flip on as the animal lays out its body plan.
In particular, the group found the sequences to be especially abundant near genes that help cells stick together. These genes play a crucial role early in an animal's life, helping cells migrate to the correct location or form into organs and tissues of the correct shape.
The 10,402 sequences studied by Bejerano, along with David Haussler, PhD, professor of biomolecular engineering at UC-Santa Cruz, are remnants of unusual DNA pieces called transposons that duplicate themselves and hop around the genome. "We used to think they were mostly messing things up. Here is a case where they are actually useful," Bejerano said.
He suspects that when a transposon is plopped down in a region where it wasn't needed, it slowly accumulated mutations until it no longer resembled its original sequence. The genome is littered with these decaying transposons. When a transposon dropped into a location where it was useful, however, it held on to much of the original sequence, making it possible for Bejerano to pick out.
In past work, Bejerano and his co-workers had identified a handful of transposons that seemed to regulate nearby genes. However, it wasn't clear how common the phenomenon might be. "Now we've shown that transposons may be a major vehicle for evolutionary novelty," he said.
The paper's first author, Craig Lowe, a graduate student in Haussler's lab at UC-Santa Cruz, said finding the transposons was just the first step. "Now we are trying to nail down exactly what the elements are doing," he said.
Bejerano's work wouldn't have been possible without two things that became available over the past few years: the complete gene sequence of many vertebrate species, and fast computers running sophisticated new genetic analysis software.
"Right now it's like being a kid in a candy warehouse," Bejerano said. Computer-savvy biologists have the tools to ask questions about how genes and chromosomes evolve and change, questions that just a few years ago were unanswerable.
Bejerano and his colleagues aren't the first to suggest that transposons play a role in regulating nearby genes. In fact, Nobel laureate Barbara McClintock, PhD, who first discovered transposons, proposed in 1956 that they could help determine the timing for when nearby genes turn on and off.
The work by Berjerano and his colleagues, however, is the first to show the widespread nature of the phenomenon in the human genome.

Hot on the heels of the new Android Wear update, Motorola has added a bunch of new features for the Moto 360 2nd generation.
The 6.0.1 Marshmallow update for Android Wear landed on Google-powered smartwatches last week (check out the video in partnership with Btekt below), but now Motorola has tacked on its own additions, to amp up its flagship smartwatch.
In addition to the new gestures and improved battery life, which include flicking through screens and shaking away notifications with your wrist, Motorola has added a new version of Moto Body, its fitness app. You can use Moto Body – previously the preserve of the Moto 360 Sport – to track runs on your smartwatch, and then hook the data up to existing platforms such as Strava, Under Armour Record and Fitbit.
Elsewhere you'll find new app permissions (yawn), six new languages and also big improvements, including one that affected pairing with Bluetooth headsets.
We're going to be spending time with the new additions and updating our Android Wear reviews and guides shortly. If you've already got hold of the updates, why not let us know how you're finding them in the comments below.

The Bay Area Air Quality officials are issuing the season's first Winter Spare-the-Air Alert for Wednesday.
The alert bans burning wood, manufactured fire logs or any other solid fuel, both indoors and outdoors for 24 hours.
Jean Roggenkamp, deputy air pollution control officer of the Air District, says the cold, still weather will cause wood smoke pollution to build up to unhealthy levels on Wednesday.
Exposure to wood smoke has been linked to increased frequency and severity of respiratory illnesses such as asthma, bronchitis and lung disease.
During this spare-the-air alert, it is illegal for Bay Area residents and businesses to use their fireplaces, wood stoves and inserts, pellet stoves, outdoor fire pits, or any other wood-burning devices.

I'm trying to integrate the Quform plugin, as I need a more complex form than what is included in this theme. I'm running into problems where the CSS of the theme is causing some very strange things, and I can't seem to figure out what CSS is causing the issue.
I've tried disabling CSS that has to do with the contact form but it doesn't change the strange layout that it puts on this page.
Would it be possible for you to take a look at this test page: http://entecinc.com/test-form/ and see what might be the problem?
How did you add the form? Where did the gray and white strips background come from?
I tried to remove the css styling of Enfold forms located on css > base.css but it doesn't do much. Please try to use Contact Form 7 or Gravity Forms, the compatibility between the theme and the plugins are much better.
I added it using a shortcode. I will try one of those forms and see if I have any luck. Thanks for the suggestion
I suggest you use Gravity Forms because the theme comes with the plugin's config modification.
The topic 'Trying to integrate form plugin but getting CSS conflicts' is closed to new replies.

Three wellness center sites identifiedApril 05, 2013 · Jennifer Pandich
The Mount Vernon City Council in March approved a contract with Mount Vernon's Sauter Baty Associates for initial architectural design of a wellness center. Cost is not to exceed $58,500.
Preliminary estimates put the cost of a wellness center at $6.3 million. There's $400,000 set aside from a previous City of Mount Vernon local option sales tax. Voters in 2011 approved a 20-year extension of a local option sales tax, with 25 percent of the revenue going toward a community center. That's estimated to bring in $1.5-$2 million. The rest of the funding would come from grants and donations. The proposal also calls for working with the school district and Cornell College.
Ed Sauter, who operates Sauter Baty and has been involved in wellness center planning for several years, presented an update of the proposal to the school board last week.
There are three possible sites for a facility, two of which are on school district land. The first is west of the track, requiring the relocation of the tennis courts; the second is south of the high school. Both of these sites have access from Palisades Road.
The third site is on Cornell property, north of the high school along College Boulevard.
Some school board members were skeptical, however, about losing land owned by the school district.
"I think it would be a mistake to sell land we might need later on," commented board member Paul Morf.
Board member Mark Weldon asked if plans for an early childhood center might be included in some conceptual drawings.
Sauter replied that including room for such a facility is certainly possible in some of the conceptual drawings.
"I think you'll find the board more receptive if you include some of our facility needs, such as the space for early childhood or an auditorium," Morf said.

Climate change is impacting wildlife and their habitats across the globe. Canada lynx, the threatened mysterious cat of northern climes, is not immune to such impacts. Numerous studies predict lynx habitat and populations will decline with increased temperatures and reduced snow levels, as lynx require deep, fluffy snow in order to have a competitive advantage over other predators that cannot move across such terrain. Not only are lynx faced with reduced amount and quality of habitat in the future – but their primary prey, the snowshoe hare, may also be challenged by climate change.
Lynx are specialized hunters that focus almost entirely on snowshoe hares – in fact, lynx can only sustain populations where there are adequate snowshoe hare populations. Snowshoe hares are a prey species and thus have evolved ways to avoid predators. Each year, their fur changes color from brown in the summer to all white in the winter (and back again come springtime) in order to camouflage themselves and match their surrounding habitat. This color-changing molt begins based on day length; as we're all aware, in the northern regions days shorten throughout the fall into winter, and lengthen into spring. It is this changing photoperiod caused by the Earth's rotation that triggers the molt, rather than the actual amount of snow on the ground. There have always been those awkward time periods between seasons with sudden snowfalls and rapid melting snow that leave snowshoe hares embarrassingly (and possibly threateningly) mismatched from their surroundings. But as climate change alters these landscapes with snow arriving later and melting earlier, hares will continue to start turning white at the same time each year based on photoperiod. Hares will fall increasingly out of sync with these new seasonal cycles. When they are mismatched, they are more likely to be noticed by predators, and hare populations could get into trouble. Reduced numbers of hares would then of course impact lynx populations that rely almost completely on the hares.
However, it may not all be complete doom and gloom. While photoperiod changes set off the start of the color-changing molt, ongoing research is shedding light onto whether hares can adjust the pace at which their coat changes once it has started. Hares may be able to seek warmer or cooler places to speed or slow their change. The speed at which their coats change seems to partially vary from year to year depending on snow conditions. Yet, the shorter winters of the present and future due to climate change may stretch this variation beyond its limit.
Defenders' Rockies and Plains program has a local partner in Missoula, Montana that is helping researchers investigate the coat color change of snowshoe hares and whether they will be able to adapt to climate change. MPG Ranch is a privately-owned conservation property that promotes conservation through restoration, research, education and information sharing. They are kicking off a contest that will help support Defenders' Rockies and Plains work to conserve lynx, wolverines and fishers! MPG has an extensive wildlife camera network and you can view it on their website.
The contest involves two parts, and you can participate in either or both:
1 – Guess when the first all-white hare will appear on MPG North's camera network
In Montana, hares begin to change color in mid-October and appear all white by early December. Guess the date when the first all-white hare will appear on the camera network and enter to win a $300 donation in your name to Defenders' work on wolverines, fishers, and lynx, and receive MPG and Defenders' t-shirts for yourself. Go to MPG's Contact Us page to submit your guess. Submissions for this part of the contest will be accepted until midnight on Monday, November 4.
2 – Find the first all-white hare!
Go to the image galleries from MPG's live cams and check them as often as you like. When you see the first all-white hare, note the date and time stamped on the image and be the first to send them to us right away using the Contact Us page as described above. Win a $700 donation in your name to Defenders, and receive MPG and Defenders' t-shirts and hats for yourself.
Thanks for participating, and good luck!

Shahid Khan's delight at Fulham takeover
Fulham's new owner, Shahid Khan, told of his delight at taking over at the Premier League club from Mohamed Al Fayed and insisted he would build on the work Al Fayed has done over the past 16 years.
"The man rescued Fulham and had a great vision which he's shared with me. I think it's very, very important to all the Fulham fans," Khan, the billionaire owner of the NFL's Jacksonville Jaguars, said. "I think what has happened has been absolutely incredible, something I'm going to remember forever."
Al Fayed, the former Harrods owner, has transformed Fulham from a third-tier club to an established Premier League side since taking over in 1997. "I think it what Al Fayed has done is incredible,'' Khan added.

CONNOR CREEK. Connor (Conner) Creek rises a mile south of Sewell oilfield in southeast Young County (at 33°05' N, 98°27' W) and runs southeast four miles to its mouth on Possum Kingdom Lake (at 33°00' N, 98°29' W). It was named for Delaware chief John Connor, who was granted a league of land by the Republic of Texas on which the creek was located. The surrounding rolling hills are surfaced by clay and sandy loams that support scrub brush, mesquite, grasses, live oak, and juniper.

Former Blue Jays contributing for Twins
Former Blue Jays contributing for Twins
Outfielder Darin Mastroianni and pitcher P.J. Walters each appeared in one game for Toronto last year, and each are making their Twins debut this weekend against the Jays.
Mastroianni was Toronto's 16th-round pick in the 2007 Draft and worked his way up through the Blue Jays' system before finally getting the call-up to the big club Aug. 24. But his stay in Toronto wasn't long. In fact, he only got the call because recently-acquired Kelly Johnson had to return to Arizona to pick up his passport, leaving the Blue Jays shorthanded for a home game against the Royals.
In his only game as a Blue Jay, Mastroianni played center field and batted ninth and went 0-for-2 with a sacrifice bunt in a 4-3 win over Kansas City. He promptly returned to the minors and was designated for assignment after the season, allowing the Twins to claim him off waivers in February. They recalled him earlier this week, just in time to face his former team.
"It is pretty ironic. ... I know most of the guys over there," Mastroianni said. "Fortunately, I got a lot of that out in Spring Training -- the one game I did get to start was against them, so I got all that, 'Oh hey, it's good to see you guys' stuff out of the way. Now it's just a matter of playing and going out there and trying to help the team."
And help them he has. On Friday night, Mastroianni had two hits and drove in the Twins' final three runs in a 7-6 Minnesota victory.
Walters arrived in Toronto as part of the trade that brought Colby Rasmus from St. Louis last July 27. He pitched just once for the Blue Jays, throwing a scoreless inning of relief in a win over Baltimore on July 28 -- before ending the season in Triple-A, where he went 1-3 with an 8.38 ERA in Las Vegas.
The Blue Jays granted him free agency at the end of the season and he signed with the Twins in December. He went 3-1 with a 2.70 ERA in six starts at Triple-A Rochester before being recalled to face his ex-team when the Twins sent Francisco Liriano to the bullpen earlier this week.
