Designing the sandbox for Enterprise Innovation
The previous post in this series, discussed issues confronting an enterprise and how they translate into the need for building innovative applications, and here is an outline the sandbox that could meet this need.
While it is easier to understand the need for innovative business applications, enabling their development in an enterprise is not easy. Let us explore four major factors that shape an enterprise innovation platform.
Speed: An enterprise innovation platform should enable applications to be developed quickly, integrated with data sources or System of Records in the company, and deployed for ready use by business. While speed of application development is important, it is also necessary to get the user experience and scalability right – two traditional time consuming elements.
Ideation: Innovative applications need ideas, inputs, and participation from many different people in the enterprise, even during stages of development. While most developer tools are not accessible to business users and those beyond IT, a collaborative environment provides an opportunity to the company to innovate faster.
Involvement: Apart from critiquing and suggesting improvements post facto, it might be good to involve business users early on in application building. The innovation infrastructure should provide a way for "citizen developers" (business-user-developer) in the company to compose applications using thin software staff.
Evolution: Really, no one knows exactly, and it cannot be pre-determined, what applications are needed for the company to succeed through innovation. At times the specs are unclear to start with or can only become clear when the application (and its underlying intent or strategy) is used in the market. That means, the innovation infrastructure must be designed for multi-round evolution of application with zero hindrance to change and always open to chance.
The Sandbox should obviate 'Shadow IT'
Business users and software developers are not happy at the pace of innovation in their companies and find it hard to understand numerous processes and limitations that prohibit them from moving faster. In some cases, this results in 'The Shadow IT'. While the intent may be good, the path may prove not to be.
Internet is full of stories of things gone wrong with Shadow IT. The worst of all is when sincere efforts at innovation end up in wasted resources and frustrated talent.
This necessitates an IT-sanctioned platform that not only encourages enterprise innovation but also makes innovation application projects effortless as much as possible.
How the Sandbox makes it easy
The speed and ease of development of apps is the key to enterprise innovation infrastructure (the Innovation Sandbox). Replace traditional methods of long-drawn software projects (possibly through an RFP process) with Rapid Application Delivery (RAD).
Speed of development is important, but not at the cost of user experience of the application. This is important, as every user (including employees of the company), is influenced by the great apps of the consumer world.
Therefore this sandbox environment must enable wider section of the enterprise to participate in building applications and not be limited to highly professional developers.
Any enterprise application has to integrate with important data stored in the company's System of Records (applications that hold key data) and perhaps with Systems of Differentiation (applications that automate processes).
Enterprise application integration is achieved rapidly when such integration is done through Application Programming Interfaces (or APIs). The simpler architecture of REST APIs and learnings from the consumer web are finding widespread adoption in the enterprise.
Building an app for scalability is a challenge that can slow down any development team. Gradual decline in hardware pricing and increasing power of commodity hardware means developers no longer need to build software for hardware scarcity, they can assume a scalable platform underneath.The sandbox has to enable designing for the cloud, where applications are built to horizontally scale (through addition of computing resources as needed at runtime, without the need for software changes).
An IT-administered private cloud (under IT control, flexible on-demand provisioning and enterprise data-safe, hence private) needs to power the enterprise innovation infrastructure to remove dependence on IT for provisioning computing resources and reduce wait times for apps to become available to business users.
Innovative applications cannot be conceived and built in isolation. The wider the participation, the higher the chances of innovation in the enterprise. Collaboration tools integrated into the development process improves visibility of apps being built, API design and coordination within the team as well as outside.
While the sandbox should be a simple, fully-integrated environment, the task of managing such an environment is obviously complex. Doing this complex job of configuring, managing and monitoring this system, needs powerful and integrated management tools.
Sandbox means freedom
The Sandbox for enterprise innovation (new piece of software running on IT-sanctioned environment) should provide the essential freedom from issues that confront today's enterprise app development teams. The picture above captures the essential ingredients of such an infrastructure. Clearly, to think outside the box is to think rapid development, to think Cloud and rapid integration through published APIs.
As Peter High, the author of "World Class IT: Why Businesses Succeed When IT Triumphs" says "Infrastructure excellence separates proactive organizations from reactive ones." Creating an innovation sandbox for their enterprise is fast becoming an important responsibility of the CIO office.
WaveMaker API Designer brings API-driven development to custom-built enterprise applications
APIs have evolved from just being the building blocks of an application to become the core part of a business strategy of an enterprise. Marc Andreessen's words – "Software is eating the world" – is true for macro level business changes, but the real enabler for the software are the APIs working silently, behind the scenes to connect apps and devices together. Forrester calls this as "APIs become the digital glue" and lists it as a top technology trend to watch for 2014-16. In the modern digital world, APIs have become the fulcrum for both business and the apps that drive the business.
Characteristics of an API
In API lifecycle there are 3 primary roles: API Publisher, who designs and deploys the API, API Gatekeeper, who manages and monetizes the API and API Consumer, who discovers and integrates with the APIs. Each of these API roles have multiple functions associated with them and those functions define the characteristics of the API. (See FIG-1)
WaveMaker Studio enables app developer to play the role of an API Publisher and API consumer, within the context of application being built. The role of API Gatekeeper is exercised in WaveMaker Gateway, a module that is planned to be integrated with WaveMaker Enterprise platform and is available in the upcoming releases.
What does API-driven App development mean in the context of RAD?
In traditional development approach, an API driven development methodology advocates that the front-end developers take control of the API design and build mocks, while the back-end developers use the API specs to concurrently implement tests and the back end business logic. This paradigm is applied to Rapid App Development in WaveMaker Studio, where the back-end services and front-end development is done concurrently based on the auto generated API contracts. However RAD tools should additionally have features to design APIs for business needs, to configure APIs for access and finally to publish these APIs to be consumed.
API Designer in WaveMaker Studio 7.1, provides a native integrated solution within the WaveMaker Studio to ease the process of designing, creating and consuming APIs within the context of a WaveMaker application. All the characteristics of an API as defined in the previous section will be addressed by the API designer and with ease. Lets jump in.
Say Hello to the new "API Designer" pull out in WaveMaker Studio 7.1
Currently WaveMaker generates REST APIs using Swagger based contracts for the following WaveMaker Studio back-end services
1. Database Service
2. Java Service
3. Web Service
Also WaveMaker generates standards based REST annotations for the above services, which are understood by API tools for generating API documentation. Look out for a detailed blog post on all the auto generated API components in WaveMaker Studio.
Lets see how API Designer eases the process of using APIs as a publisher and consumer.
As an API Publisher: Design, Test & Publish APIs
Lets take a simple use case where the API publisher wants to publish an API to get a list of departments in the enterprise. You can import the sample database provided with WaveMaker Studio to quickly test this. Currently WaveMaker generates Data Access Objects (DAO) with CRUD based REST APIs for every table in the database schema. WaveMaker also generates REST APIs for all the custom SQL queries that user creates. The various end points corresponding to all the tables imported into the data model and their respective REST APIs are shown. See FIG-3, which shows a few CRUD based REST APIs of the "Department" endpoint.
You can further update the design of these auto-generated REST APIs by configuring their description, visibility, method types, parameter type etc.
For instance in FIG-3, user is configuring the visibility of the GET method of the "Department" end point. The visibility options available to the user include the following:
° Unavailable- API is not visible even within the app
° App-Only- API is visible only inside the app
° Private- API visible to all the apps inside the Enterprise Developer Network(EDN) [1]
° Public- API visible external to the enterprise [1]
Java Services APIs have additional configuration options like the parameter types and method types. Currently all the methods defined inside the Java service classes are automatically exposed as REST APIs that can be configured further. For instance, if there is a Java service that is created for email services and receiveMail() is a method in that service, this method is automatically exposed as a REST API. In our example, receiveMail() method has 3 parameters "emailId", "count" and "unread" (to get only unread mails) and the expected REST API definition looks like this:
The above (FIG-4) given REST API definition can be easily configured using the API Designer as follows (see FIG-5):
Once the REST APIs are defined successfully, the next step is to test the APIs instantly using the "Test" tab. Lets refer back again to FIG-3 and test the GET method of the "Department" end point, as shown in FIG-6.
Assuming that the API testing was successful, the next step is to publish the API [1]. Publishing the API would make it available for consumption in others apps, based on the visibility (see FIG-3) that was set earlier. In WaveMaker, API publishing is done along with the 1-click deployment of the application as shown in FIG-7
As an API Consumer: Discover and integrate API into the app [1]
The integration of Enterprise Developer Network(EDN) with API Explorer inside the WaveMaker Studio, makes it really easy to discover APIs in other apps shared in the EDN and consume them. You can easily browse through the shared APIs, select the API and then import using WaveMaker's interactive web-service import infrastructure. For instance see FIG-8, where the DELETE method of the "Employee" end point in the HRMS app, shared in the EDN, is tested and imported.
EDN DevPortal [1]
Now that the API Designer feature in WaveMaker Studio has eased the functions associated with the API publisher and consumer, the next logical step is to enable the DevPortal integration with EDN. DevPortal icon in the EDN home page (see FIG-9) will now take you to the DevPortal API Explorer where you can see all the apps in EDN and their respective APIs and it allows you to further discover, test and collaborate on these APIs.
WaveMaker is working to provide a complete end to end API driven app development approach through WaveMaker's Enterprise Platform. API Designer is another big step towards this goal. Keep watching this space for a host of planned features, in future WaveMaker releases, which includes API deployment, consumption, 3rd party APIs integration and also WaveMaker Gateway, a new module in the WaveMaker Enterprise platform that will give a full fledged API experience for the users.

IT Challenges for the Modern Enterprise
Even as you begin to read this, you are probably already in the midst of a disruption in the industry and are wondering how to equip your company to meet the new challenge.
5 big reasons why enterprises face challenges
1. Customers are more demanding – The digital world is constantly redefining customer taste, trends and needs. Sometimes, these changes present opportunities that your company shouldn't let go, to stay relevant.
2. Rate of business change is ever increasing – Constant speeding of business change caused by internet and mobile technologies is hugely determining who survives and who thrives.
3. Size doesn't matter – Size is no protection in this digital world against market traction. The digital age has enabled everyone to innovate and cause disruption. New startups and lean competitors have no baggage of running business on older models (or backward compatibility, in simple terms).
4. Lineage doesn't matter – Customers are lapping up innovation and fresh ideas brought by younger and smaller players. Those with no lineage in an industry are chipping away market share of large established players. Experience is no safety and reputation is transient.
5. Competitive threats are hard to see or act – Companies need to experiment, and plan products and services that cannibalize their own successful (in the past) offerings. Innovate or perish paradigm is now a reality.
"40 per cent of the top 500 companies (US) are no longer in the top 500, 10 years later" – Gordon Graylish, Intel global vice-president and general manager, Enterprise Solutions. Clearly, there is no reason for complacency.
Implications on IT
Whip the horse. Isn't IT supposed to enable companies to steer through challenges? Do enterprise challenges translate into challenges for IT?
Application strategy is of high importance as every business strategy is powered by a software application behind – When Marc Andreessen said "Software is eating the world", he meant it and it is not surprising that software is going to play a significant role in solving these enterprise challenges. Apps drive every strategy. Hence, app development (powering innovation in strategy) is of utmost importance to the enterprise.
Applications are needed faster than ever – Traditional development practices no longer meet needs of new age businesses. Enterprise IT taking business needs and translating them to software requirements for vendors (after an RFP process), is too slow to be acceptable. IT needs to find new ways of catering to this demand.
Do more with less, as budgets are limited and uncertain – Gartner estimates that 70 percent of IT funds go to things other than business innovation; most likely keeping the current systems running (keeping the lights on). Older software become a liability for numerous reasons and reduces the ability of an Enterprise to change. The problem of shrinking IT budgets is compounded by gradual turning of software investments into legacy (a liability, not an asset). IT needs to generate more value out of prior investments and build on top.
Technology is changing too fast, limiting capacity build up – Scorching pace of technology infusion is crunching the time enterprises have to build up their internal capability. New technology is rapidly multiplying possibilities for business leaders, but is also questioning their status quo.
Incentive for saving time than money – Instead of striving to save its own expenditure, IT can serve better by equipping the company for its future battles in the shortest possible time. This forces IT to think of "Wrap and reuse" instead of "Rip and replace" strategies.
Innovation and reuse are at a premium.
What then?
This calls for a relook at what the enterprise IT spending and overall effort is focused on. Gartner has nicely captured how applications stack up (based on their pace of change), that also provides the proportion of focus and budget traditionally accorded by Enterprises.
However, considering the new set of challenges, higher focus is needed on "Systems of Innovation" now than ever before. We should stop treating Technology or IT investment as capex that needs predictable ROI. "Technology is a metaphor for Change. Technology is also a metaphor for Risk", as Dr. Kenneth Green, Director of The Campus Computing Project, said at DiECon 2013.
In subsequent posts, I would attempt to further elaborate this new kind of Enterprise Innovation Infrastructure and options available for enterprises to implement them in their organizations.

WaveMaker: Rationale behind the product
Today, enterprises are facing tremendous challenges in the market that can only be addressed through business strategy innovation. Given that every new strategy needs to be powered by software, time has come to analyze how their software applications are built and explore if newer technologies or methodologies can make that better.
The intent of this series of postings is to talk about how software-powered enterprise innovation can be put to work. This thinking shapes the WaveMaker product and I would welcome views and suggestions from everyone connected with the topic.
Here is the rough outline for the series.

Maven support for WaveMaker Projects helps developers use their familiar IDEs
The new release of WaveMaker Studio (version 7.1) expected to be released next week offers a bi-directional integration of WaveMaker projects with other IDEs. WaveMaker Studio projects can be exported and imported into any IDE of your choice i.e., Eclipse, IntelliJ IDEA etc. providing an easy way for developers to utilize their familiar IDE for complex programming tasks. Maven based project export feature is especially relevant to Professional developers and Enterprise Architects, who want to do more than just a simple drag-n-drop operation to build their applications. While WaveMaker Studio provides visual-design based drag-n-drop, code generation, collaboration, readily available templates and widgets for faster application development, you can now export WaveMaker project with a Project Object Model (POM) file to code, debug, or test with a different development environment that supports Maven.
In this post, we will learn how you can export your project from WaveMaker Studio and experience the added benefits of a Maven compliant project.
Currently in WaveMaker Studio 7 you can export your project as a ZIP file using the "Export" menu option.
These exported projects are Maven compliant and generates a Maven based pom.xml as shown below in FIG-2
The biggest benefit of making the exported project as Maven compliant is the ease with which the user can switch between WaveMaker Studio and the IDE of his choice to leverage the superior Java code editing and debugging features of the IDE. Lets see how you can import a project into Eclipse IDE and use it.
Importing WaveMaker Studio projects into Eclipse is just a 2-step process as shown in FIG-3 & FIG-4. This allows the user to instantly switch from WaveMaker Studio to Eclipse, work and leverage Eclipse features, switch back to WaveMaker Studio and import back the modified project.
Some of the common tasks in WaveMaker that can leverage Eclipse (or any IDE) features include the following
1. Writing and debugging Java services
2. Debugging a WaveMaker app deployed on Tomcat or any other web server
Java Services are just Java classes that can be written and debugged with far more ease and authority in an IDE like Eclipse than in WaveMaker Studio itself.
For debugging the app you can use the "Remote Java Application" (see FIG-5) feature in Eclipse to remotely debug your Tomcat deployed app.
If your organization is using WaveMaker applications as part of a bigger project that uses Maven, you can include WaveMaker project as a Maven sub-module.
You can also instantly generate the project war file to deploy using the Eclipse "Maven install" menu option as shown in FIG-6.
And finally after you are done making your changes to the files using Eclipse, you can import the ZIP file (%PROJECT_HOME%/target/export/PROJECT_NAME.zip), created automatically using "Maven Install", back into WaveMaker Studio. You can do this using the "Update Project Source" (see FIG-7) feature in WaveMaker Studio.
WaveMaker continues to focus in bringing the new trends in application evolution such as API-driven development and design-first paradigms to WaveMaker Platform in the upcoming releases, keep looking out for more exciting news from us.

Deployment to Docker-architected cloud
WaveMaker Enterprise also includes WaveMaker Cloud, which provides simplified Docker container management to deploy and manage your custom enterprise apps. Docker provides the basic building blocks to optimize custom app workloads but requires a well-architected Docker management platform to reap and amplify the benefits. While Docker caught a whole lot of buzz in the enterprise tech industry only recently, we have been working on Docker for well over a year now to build a platform to extract the value out of Docker. During the WaveMaker Cloud beta, we found that Docker provided us 30x the VM density, 50-100x better performance and also 80% cost savings. And we are offering a Docker-architected cloud through the WaveMaker Enterprise platform.

Medial epicondylitis, also known as golfer's elbow, baseball elbow, suitcase elbow, or forehand tennis elbow, is characterized by pain from the elbow to the wrist on the inside (medial side) of the elbow. The pain is caused by damage to the tendons that bend the wrist toward the palm. A tendon is a tough cord of tissue that connects muscles to bones.
Medial epicondylitis is caused by the excessive force used to bend the wrist toward the palm, such as swinging a golf club or pitching a baseball. Other possible causes of medial epicondylitis include the following:
Serving with great force in tennis or using a spin serve
Weak shoulder and wrist muscles
Using a too tightly strung, too short, and/or too heavy tennis racket
Throwing a javelin
Carrying a heavy suitcase
Chopping wood with an ax
Operating a chain saw
Frequent use of other hand tools on a continuous basis
The following are the most common symptoms of medial epicondylitis. However, each individual may experience symptoms differently.
The most common symptom of medial epicondylitis is pain along the palm side of the forearm, from the elbow to the wrist, on the same side as the little finger. The pain can be felt when bending the wrist toward the palm against resistance, or when squeezing a rubber ball.
The symptoms of medial epicondylitis may resemble other medical problems or conditions. Always consult your doctor for a diagnosis.
The diagnosis of medial epicondylitis usually can be made based on a physical examination. The doctor may rest the arm on a table, palm side up, and ask the patient to raise the hand by bending the wrist against resistance. If a person has medial epicondylitis, pain usually is felt in the inner aspect of the elbow.
Specific treatment for medial epicondylitis will be determined by your doctor based on:
Your age, overall health, and medical history
Extent of the condition
Your tolerance for specific medications, procedures, and therapies
Expectation for the course of the condition
Your opinion or preference
Treatment for medial epicondylitis includes stopping the activity that produces the symptoms. It is important to avoid the movement that caused the condition in the first place. Treatment may include:
Ice pack application (to reduce inflammation)
Strengthening exercises
Anti-inflammatory medications
Corticosteroid injections
Surgery (rarely necessary)

This paper describes a new and innovative approach to measuring relationships, contraception, and unintended pregnancy among young women. The ongoing project begins with a 60-minute in-person interview about family background and current relationship characteristics. At the conclusion of the interview, respondents are enrolled in an ongoing journal, which consists of a 5-minute survey via web or phone, and occurs weekly for 2.5 years. We have enrolled over 1000 young women in the study and have experienced excellent baseline response rates and high journal participation rates. The current paper describes the study and its design strengths and weaknesses. The results presented throughout the paper are preliminary as data collection ends January 2012.
Country of focus: United States of America.

A rare and magnificent example of early French pottery! I have been collecting Barbotine pottery for 30 years and I have only managed to find 2 clocks.
This is from my own personal collection, but I have simply run out of space, so I must part with a few pieces.
It is in great condition, without any repairs. There is only 1 very small piece of a leaf and 1 very small piece of a petal missing. Exceptional condition for a piece of this age.
The clock mechanism had been removed before I purchased it years ago, and it had been replaced with an electrical mechanism, which is working, but it could be easily replaced with an old french mechanism. I just never bothered with it because it didn't matter to me.
It measures 21" h x 11.5" w x 7.5" d
Item ID: 2785B
Only 1 available, and 3 other shoppers are interested. Don't miss out!
Purveyors of fine museum quality Scandanavian & European antiques!
We travel to Europe to hand select each piece for its uniqueness & beauty. Especially dear to us are our Swedish Mora clocks.

I love this makeup! Very good coverage. Reasonable price. It feels good on your skin, unlike many that are too thick and you feel the makeup. Your not supposed to feel your makeup on your skin and if you do your probably wearing too much or bad foundation. This product is amazing especially paired with the "almost powder".
I was given a sample of this foundation at Sephora after an SA color matched my skin. They now have a device which "reads" your skin and assigns you a skin tone number, somewhat like Mac's matching, but Sephora's system matches you with every foundation they sell, and then emails you your shade in each foundation. The clerk offered me a sample of the Clinique foundation in Golden Neutral. I liked the coverage, but didn't wear it long. I have to warn you that Golden Neutral is VERY YELLOW!! Way too yellow to look healthy on most people. I'm not joking when I tell you I actually looked jaundiced. So this is just a heads up, unless you have extremely yellow undertones, don't buy this shade!

This is one of my everyday foundations, my other favorite is lock-it by Kat Von D. I prefer the finish of this one, it's a little more natural and glowy without being shiny. It does settle into lines slightly, but I just blur them with my finger if I need to. I usually only have to do that once throughout the day. It stays well if I finish with a light powder. The packaging is okay, functional but not fancy. I do like that it's in a hygienic squeeze tube and I'm sure the opaque packaging helps keep the ingredients a little more fresh but I like to see how much product is left so I don't run out. Overall I will continue to purchase unless I find something better.
I have just purchased this product and tried it out for a few days.
With horrible dry winter flaky skin and redness on my combination skin, I had found that my favourite colourstay was not providing enough coverage to last the day. (old version, haven't tried the new formula) I was impressed with the coverage in the store when matched by the assistant so purchased it. I am impressed with the coverage, however it may be just a bit too heavy looking for me to apply all over my face for my regular day look, it is creamier than the very liquid colourstay and found the foundation covered my blemishes and redness easily without need for a concealer, which was always a must with the colourstay. (basically i was painting concealer to my entire nose and chin under my foundation to balance the redness) I was impressed that I got home from work with still very little redness appearing through my skin, though nose and chin started to get shiny a few hours in.
I'll give it so more time, I think it will make a great evening foundation, or even just to cover my red blemish prone t-zone instead of a concealer and use in combination with the colourstay.
I was pretty disappointed with this product considering it's supposed give you 'flawless coverage'. It feels nice and it's SPF 15, which I like, but I found that you couldn't tell if I was wearing the foundation or not. I have some redness and a lot of freckles, and while I know regular foundation won't make freckles disappear, it usually makes some sort of difference. But this one was way too sheer- not the way they advertised it at all!
I was honestly disappointed with this foundation, Clinique is not a terrible brand, but it's definitely not the best. This foundation oxidizes terribly, and I actually went out in public with an orange looking face! :( I had my color picked out perfectly, and when I applied it it looked great, but as the day went on, it turned orange and made my skin disgustingly cakey and oily. If you have oily or combination skin, this product is definitely not for you!
This is my everyday foundation that I use as foundation and concealer. It is very creamy and doesn't smell bad, but can get rather tacky. It covers up discoloration well, but does not hide dark spots/acne scars all that well. Overall, i'd say it is a good basic foundation (better than most) but might be a bit heavy.
Just got this foundation yesterday. so far im loving it! Its not cakey at ALL! It feel like you have nothing on and the color matches my skin tone amazingly (alabaster) its easy to apply with a brush. The only negative was i had to re touch a few spots up that i have dark spots but thats about it! nice medium coverage
I have been using this foundation in 06 Honey for about six months and the bottle still has some foundation left. The lady at the counter matched the colour up perfectly to my skin but this foundation isn't thick enough for my liking and begins to wear off after 3 hours!
I've used this foundation for years and it's a real staple in my kit and to use on myself when I'm in the mood for it. It has a lot of mileage, little goes a long way and can be built up to full coverage if required. It's now Cliniques no.1 foundation (used to be superbalanced) and it's great so I can see why. Like all Clinique products, it's good for the skin and also has some of the even better clinical serum in so it genuinely evens skin instantly and more so over time.
I use Alabaster, but could do with a lighter shade. Good news is that Clinique are in the process (could still take a while mind!) of making lighter shades for us wee ghosts! Exciting stuff :D

EAST ST. LOUIS- A standoff in East St. Louis between police and a man who held a knife to his throat ended Wednesday near the old Obear Nester glass factory when police subdued him with a Taser.
Police said the incident began when Jeffrey L. Almos, 38, of Granite City, went into an office at Zambaldi Dental, located on Collinsport Drive in Collinsville, and threatened a woman with a knife, then battered her until she was unconscious.
The man took an undisclosed amount of cash and the woman's keys to her Ford Taurus. He fled in the woman's car. Police pursued the car, which ended up crashing near the intersection of Broadway and 18th Street.
When an East St. Louis police officer spotted Almos, the man was up against a fence holding a knife to his throat.
An U. S. Marshal negotiator spent at least two hours trying to convince Almos to surrender. Almos had used a steak knife to inflict wounds to his neck and arms, police said. Almos was taken to St. Louis University Medical Center for treatment.
The woman at the dental office told police that she planned to drive herself to the hospital.
East St. Louis Police Chief James Mister said the initial call over the police radio was a carjacking involving a child, but they later confirmed that it was not a carjacking and that the man was alone in the car. March 2, 2006

What can you do?:
1) If you haven't rented a movie from Videoscope in a while - GO NOW! Show your support. And see some films you may not be able to get again.
2) Do you know a space in Mountain View that has reasonable rents and would be a good option for Odin? If so, let him know.
City of Mountain View: How can you let this small business go away? The collection of films is historic, like a library. Many films are not available from Netflix. It would be a terrible shame to break up this collection in a "going out of business" sale. If you have any ideas, please share them. We've only got a month or two before Videoscope closes its doors!

Hi ksm3327 -
Parkinson's Disease is a degenerative disorder of the central nervous system characterized by tremor and impaired muscular coordination. To put it simply, Parkinson?s Disease (or PD) is progressive. It will eventually get worse with time. It can and commonly does affect the central nervous system - the whole body. It can be identified by several factors, one being tremors, another being the patients lack of coordination in moving, due to their muscles being affected.
Basically, a healthy brain will produce the correct amount of dopamine needed for the brain to function properly. A person who has Parkinson?s doesn?t produce enough dopamine, having a lack of control over their movements.
Dopamine is the brain?s oil, causing it to work effectively, much like oil is to a car engine. When the oil gets low, you begin to experience a lot of problems.
I?m not sure if that?s what you?re looking for ? let me know. Good luck!

Went here to get school credit for my son missing school ( never had to do that ridiculous stuff when i was a kid, my parents just said we wouldn't be there and that was that... Pardon me while I vent lol). Anyways the attraction was interesting, initially thought it was a burial mound and found out it was not at all. The cultural center had a lot of displays and information on native American culture and was the best part of it all. You have access to 4 different historical museums including a schoolhouse, civil war museum and post office, all for one price.

The official religion of the Byzantine Empire was Christianity, as defined by the patriarch and the church hierarchy in Constantinople and by the emperor. In the sixth and seventh centuries, efforts to enforce loyalty to the Orthodox faith met with resistance from Christian communities in the empire's southern provinces. Central to these debates was the acceptance or the rejection of the official definition of the person of Christ as having two natures—human and divine—as formulated at the Council of Chalcedon in 451. The efforts of Emperor Heraclius (r. 610–41) to promote a compromise only intensified the debates. With the shift of authority to Islamic rule, Christians loyal to Constantinople's church generally remained in the eastern Mediterranean, as far south as the Sinai Peninsula. Sites such as the patriarchate of Jerusalem and the monasteries of Mar Saba near Jerusalem and Saint Catherine on the Sinai Peninsula remained important intellectual centers for these communities, whose people wrote in Greek, Christian-Palestinian Aramaic, and ultimately Arabic. Because of their loyalty to the Orthodox Church in Constantinople, these Christians were known as Melkites ("royalists"). During the first centuries of Islamic rule, Orthodox and other Christians held important posts in the Islamic administration and played a vital role in the intellectual life of the major cities.

Visit to Martin Van Buren's Home: Lindenwald
... I am trying to remember where we saw the other servants quarters - could it have been the Gould house? There seems to be more recognition of the role the servants played in the historical sites. We were to hear and see how the Irish servant women lived in several different houses on our tour of New York.
Frederic Church's Olana
After our tour of Lindenwald, Martin Van Buren's home, we continued south to Olana, the home of Frederic Church of the Hudson River School of painters. It was rather cold and blustery so we sought refuge in the museum/office where I ran into Adrienne and Sharon of the Red Rock Circle. Vesna had tentatively ...
Mohawk Trail with Fall Colors
... adjacent to the noisy, busy freeway, secured one night in a serviced pull through, turned on the air conditioners (it was warm), put on the Giants game and relaxed with some fresh caprese from our larder.
Perhaps we would have remained overnight up in the Berkshires had we found an open campsite. The Walmart in North Adams doesn't allow overnights so we moved on.
Long day but colors of fall were out in force. Now we are in Pennsylvania.
Heading west

This is an amazing 18th century inn which felt so old school for America. It was a charming spot to unwind and the local Great Barrington Brewery make a lovely IPA. Looking forward to properly exploring the rest of the Berkshires tomorrow as we head north before passing into Vermont and towards ...

We are a complete floor covering store, offering one of the upstate's largest selections of Carpet-Hardwood-Laminate-Vinyl-Tile. Also, we offer Professional installation on all the products that we sell. Started in 1992, we have become one of Mohawk Colorcenter Elites Dealers.
For $30, you get a seat in section 111, 118, 205, 206, 223, or 224 (a $47 value before fees, or up to a $59.40 value online, including all Ticketmaster fees).
Though employees sporting the Bug Avengers uniform could be referred to as exterminators or technicians, many see them as heroes. And for good reason: the team routinely rescues homeowners from perilous infestations such as termite colonies and mosquito nests. Rather than prescribing a general, one-size-fits-all solution, they assess the individual situation and recommend tailored attacks to the problems at hand, whether that means a full-scale fumigation or recommending a product from the local hardware store.
When ridding homes of pests, they strive to keep their services as environmentally-friendly as possible by limiting the chemicals they use and performing fixes such as sealing up critter entryways and recommending different food-storage solutions. They also perform complimentary termite inspections and during visits, they'll keep a lookout for potential moisture problems that could attract pests who can't resist a good pool party.
The job of a SupaKleen technician doesn't begin with a mop and a broom; it begins in the classroom. Before they head out on commercial assignments or residential house calls, the bonded and insured SupaKleen staffers must undergo rigorous training. Afterward, their supervisors continue to track their progress, whether the staff is scrubbing kitchens and bathrooms, steam-cleaning carpets, or pressure-washing stains and the graffiti of rival squirrel gangs from siding. SupaKleen's commitment to training makes it a favorite helper at construction sites and a reliable source of janitorial services, including floor waxing and mold repair.

Improve the interiors with a thorough shampoo of the floors, seats, door jambs, nooks, and crannies, uncovering priceless gold doubloons and missing pets in the process. The motor is also specially shined to evict freeloading dust bunnies and exorcise lingering motor-oil ghosts.

'PlayStation 2013' event set for Feb. 20
Normally, posting the teaser for some kind of upcoming announcement isn't our jam, as a wink from marketing isn't really news, per se. With Sony's latest move, however, we felt we would make an exception.
Inviting us to "see the future," the above trailer portends a PlayStation announcement set to take place at 6 p.m. Eastern on Wednesday, February 20. The promotion's corresponding website has email and birthday entry fields, allowing interested persons to be "the first to know."
Now, we're not going to pretend like we know exactly what this is all about, but we think it's safe to assume we're all thinking the same thing here. Yup, the return of Blasto.

Awesome ride, plenty challenging for this not-so-seasoned mt. biker, fantastic views… and you earn your Smiley Creek milkshake once it's all over. Have a blast!
I've commonly heard this Fisher Creek Loop referred to as the "Best Trail in Idaho". It's hard to argue with that. There's a nice gradual uphill at the beginning that ends with a steep section that's easy to walk up. The downhill is through fun, flowing single track.
I like to start at Williams Creek and ride up the highway...
This is a very popular destination for Mountain Bikers and the trails are both beautiful and challenging. If Mountain Biking is your sport - you should definitely check it out!
17 miles of great fun. Start at Williams creek and ride the loop counter clock wise - ride/climb out the dirt road until you hit the single track. Though portions were affected by fire this is still a classic ride. Great riding surface and loads of fun.. beautiful views and great downhill sections to let it go.. enjoy
As one mountain bike book says "put on your fun hat"! But, it's not easy, it's pretty kick b*tt to get to the top. Some of it is still burnt from a fire around 7 years ago, but most is pretty. Great views. This ride has it all. The quintessential MB ride.
The downhill back to the beginning is awesome....
Great mountain biking, incredible view on top, should see this in the fall or winter on snowmobiles.
Can't miss, great ride. Good climb, fantastic descent. Worth the drive. Don't forget the post-ride milkshake at Smiley Creek.
I have hiked, ridden horseback and hunted all through this area.
Hiking back into Mountain Home Canyon or Iron Basin you can see Deer, Elk, Moose, Wolves, Mountain Sheep and Goats... I've even seen a Lynx while muzzle loading there... just fantastic country... this is the REAL Outdoors.
this trail has it all. steep, and tecnical at times. just don't get lost. the first time we did this trail, we had to figure out where we were. this trail is great, streams, forests, views, and is long enough to really make you feel like you road a back country trail!!!
Fisher Creek to Williams Creek is a trail you must do. The up hill is all on a forest road, with one really big rocky climb that seems to last forever. Once at the top, it's all single track downhill from here. Hardly any rocks, very smooth. Watch out for the steep drop offs towards the top. Starts and ends...

Outlook 2013
The use of mobile devices in the government got a boost in 2012 when the Obama administration made mobility a central element of the Digital Government Strategy. President Barack Obama's re-election ensured that the push from the top will continue.
It is not just a top-down effort, however. The proliferation of mobile devices also has a bottom-up impetus. Employee demand, in fact, is the prime mover behind the bring-your-own-device trend.
Read the other stories in our Outlook 2013 feature package. Click here.
There's no question that the government's future — and indeed, much of its present — lies in mobility. "There is no holding back the tide here," said Warren Suss, president of Suss Consulting. He and other experts agreed that 2013 is likely to see a significant expansion of mobility as an integral part of acquisition and agency policy-making. And BYOD will spread.
And yet, challenges remain. Security and privacy are harder to ensure on mobile devices, especially on those that the agency doesn't own.
"People are struggling on the security side," said Tom Suder, president and founder of Mobilegov and industry chairman of the Advanced Mobility Working Group at the American Council for Technology–Industry Advisory Council. "Enterprise mobility is a lot more complex than citizen services."
Still, the initial mobility strategy that followed on the heels of the larger Digital Government Strategy marked a turning point, Suder suggested. "We really got our arms around the issues" in 2012, he said. "We've galvanized the government to get things together."
Tom Suder
The Agriculture Department and the Department of Veterans Affairs each awarded mobile device management contracts in 2012, he added, and most agencies have at least a draft BYOD policy. In 2013, he expects both trends to accelerate.
BYOD makes the security situation more difficult, but the government is working toward solutions. Because agency and personal data are mingling on devices that are not under the agencies' full control, concerns persist.
One common security measure is to allow no data at rest, or persistent data, on mobile devices. Government employees could use their own devices to interact with data stored on an agency server, and when they finish their work, no data would remain on the mobile device.
There's no holding back the tide here. -- Warren Suss, Suss Consulting
But there's a significant disadvantage to that approach, said Bryan Pagliano, special adviser to the Bureau of Information Resource Management at the State Department. It means that employees cannot work off-line. For State's Foreign Service officers stationed in remote parts of the world, connectivity is not always ensured. Other federal employees, including the military, operate in similar conditions.
At State, one solution is to provide agency-issued BlackBerrys that are allowed to store data, he said, but that approach undercuts the advantages of BYOD.
Nevertheless, the security approach is evolving, and 2012 saw the beginnings of a new focus on applications that should continue to expand in 2013, said Brian Duckering, senior manager of Symantec's Enterprise Mobility Group.
"We realize there may be 50 or 100 apps on a device, but there may be only three or four that actually have the ability to access and transmit the data we're concerned about," he said. If the agency can control those apps, it can secure the device more effectively than trying to apply mobile device management to employee-owned devices.
State is expanding its Global OpenNet mobility program, Pagliano said. "We've continued to adapt that platform so it can be used on more devices," he said. Originally called OpenNet Everywhere, the next iteration now under development might be called iGO, a play on Apple's naming convention and the G.O. acronym for Global OpenNet.
BYOD is likely to take center stage in State's 2013 mobility efforts, he said. "We're trying to find out where's a reasonable amount of risk to accept to do a BYOD program," he added.
Among the department's goals for the year is creating a system in which an employee can use a single device, such as a tablet computer, to log in from home, from the office or from a meeting with the same level of access and functionality at each point.
"Since our foreign services officers rotate every one to three years, there is a lot of overhead in transferring data," he said. "To have a single profile to follow [one's whole] career through the State Department, that would be very interesting."
But widespread adoption of BYOD isn't a given, he added. "Can you make a business case? Users might like to carry just one device, but would two really be a hardship? What our leadership is interested in is, if we do BYOD, what savings do we find? What is the cost?"

Its actually kinda nice that the Govt is only behind the commercial world by 10 years this time.
BYOD - I am not about to spend hundreds of dollars to be able to do my job away from the office. While having a device would be nice when on travel, I do not get paid to work while I am not at work and I want to enjoy my time away from the office and not be distracted from important things like family. But that is a moot point, devices that have memory or transmit a signal are not allowed in our area, too much chance that our 'friends' like China will more easily be able to pick up some more classified data.
