Fine Print - May 2009
Business people, if they were honest with themselves, would have to admit to being the biggest self-help junkies around. You need look no further than book publishing for proof. The surest road to riches in the publishing world is to create a gimmicky book built around leadership secrets of some faintly obscure and decidedly nonbusinesslike figure from history Attila the Hun, for instance, or Sun Tzu. Once the author has teased out various business applications from the old Huns or Chinese warlords utterances, the path to the bestseller list is open, and high-paying consulting and speaking gigs will stretch ahead for years all because business people have an endless appetite for self-improvement.
Call me old-school, but I prefer to absorb my lessons in success via observation and study rather than paying $24.95 to the likes of Donald Trump, who has 14 books detailing his secrets of success, secrets of recovery (after his success proved fleeting), secrets other people have shared with him, etc. Want to understand the key to success in business? Its as simple as spending time in a well-run operation watching how its done. I do that at my local Waffle House in the quaintly named town of Fuquay-Varina. (Informal civic motto: Dont pronounce it like that, you pervert.)
Go ahead and laugh. I dont mind. Im a Waffle House partisan, accustomed to people rolling their eyes when I say, in all sincerity, that its my favorite place to eat. My fondness for breakfast eateries probably has a hereditary component, considering that my late mothers photograph still hangs on the wall of her hometown greasy spoon, Huddle House #92 in Clarkesville, Ga. But seven months ago, I received some reinforcement in my Waffle House crush when the tony food magazine Saveur published a paean from a fellow cult member, a well-traveled soul who declares in the article that Ive never found a breakfast joint to replace the Waffle House.
Preach it, brother. He admires Waffle House for the food, and so do I, but my business writers eye cant help but notice the operation itself. And therein are found four lessons ever so important in these trying times. To wit:
1) Its better to do a few things well than many things inconsistently. The menu, a laminated sheet covered front and back with various offerings, may look extensive, but its mostly different combinations of a few simple things: eggs, toast, potatoes, grits, batter and meat. Dont expect anything else. For more than a half-century, Waffle House employees have focused on the art of getting a plateful of those few ingredients, in whatever array youve ordered, in front of you within minutes. Its what they do and all they do. Countless food fads have come and gone, but the House has stayed true to its mission. Contrast that with, say, Sears, which at one time had ambitions of selling everything youd ever need, including a house and a motorcycle. Today its happy just to sell you jeans.
2) Every customer is uniquely valuable. Bad or indifferent service is a common aspect of too many businesses these days. Some banks, for instance discourage face-to-face encounters with customers, pushing them toward digital transactions. Others herd them into that special hell of automated phone lines, where the endless pushing of buttons leaves you sputtering with rage after youre asked for the umpteenth time to enter your number followed by the pound sign. Ive long remembered the reaction years ago when I complained to my mutual-fund company that my statement had been mailed to somebody else (who had the good grace to forward it to me). The funds president, as soon as he heard, called from an airport to apologize. That inspired years of loyalty. I dont expect to see Waffle Houses CEO at my local restaurant, but Roger the host is an exemplary stand-in. Hes my guarantor of good service, and if the wait for a table is too long and I leave, the coffees on him. But you know what? Ive never seen anybody leave without eating.
3) Make everything the same, but different. Ill turn this over to Esquire magazine for explanation: The great gift of Waffle House is not that the food at every single one of its units tastes the same, though, in fact, it does; the great gift is that every single one of its units is different and owes something to the vagaries of its location. Every company, no matter how big, ought to have the feel of a mom-and-pop outfit.
4) Transparency is good business. There are no secrets at Waffle House. Everything happens right in front of you, especially when you sit at the counter. Imagine if you could watch your car being repaired or listen in as your congressman talks to a lobbyist. Because we cant do either, doubts about the process always linger. People trust what they can see. Thatll be $24.95, please.

Orange has revealed that it'll soon be stocking HTC's debut Beats smartphone – the HTC Sensation XE.
We spied the handset on the network's Coming Soon page, alongside the cheap and cheerful HTC Explorer and the Windows Phone-powered Nokia Lumia 800. There's not yet any details on its pricing or release date, but we've been in touch with Orange for further information.
If anything like O2's pricing, the Sensation XE should be available for free from around £36 per month on a two-year-long contract. Over at O2 this'll bag you a decent 900 minutes, unlimited texts and 500MB data, too.
That's a reasonable price considering the phone's features, which includes a powerful 1.5GHz dual-core processor and, of course, integrated Beats Audio technology. As well as a pair of included Beats headphones, the Sensation XE comes with custom audio processing hardware and software, which promises to deliver "studio quality sound".
If that hasn't quite sold it to you, there's also Android 2.3.5 (Gingerbread) onboard, a 4.3-inch qHD screen, an 8 megapixel primary camera with 1080p HD video, a VGA front-facing shooter, and all of the usual connectivity options (Bluetooth, HSDPA, WiFi).

The following is a transcription of the message Sheriff Ed Brown left for The Daily News but apparently did not disconnect before Gerald Jackson, who is accused of several bomb threats in the area, entered his office:
In message left April 11, 2014, at 12:23 p.m.
Unidentified male: Is it OK if Gerald comes in?
Brown: Yeah, oh yeah, I�ve called him in.
Brown: How you doing, Gerald?
Britt: Sheriff Brown, this is Gerald Jackson and, uh, I talked to him a little bit and he knows that you�re probably going to have him initial and sign a form saying that he understands he has the right to remain silent and he can have an attorney present. He�s waiving those rights and he�s waiving his right to stay silent. And he knows these things can be used against him and he thinks he has an idea of what the big topic of conversation is going to be and he wants to cooperate and he says he�s not going to play around and play any more games.
Brown: OK.
Britt: All right.
Brown: OK. Thank you, sir.

Joe DeBonis '10
F09-S10 D-plan: R-R-R
French Studies (major), Economics (minor)
Favorite and least favorite things about your department:
The French and Italian Department includes a faculty with diverse research interests and specialties, all of whom are engaging and incredibly friendly. The study abroad programs offered by the department are some of the best at Dartmouth and are structured to encourage the completion of two programs back-to-back (i.e. LSA+ in Toulouse followed by the FSP in Paris), which is a great option to take advantage of. With a rotating major advisor position, however, advising continuity (as a major or minor) can be a bit sporadic.
Important info for potential majors:
Take the time to explore the French Studies/Italian Studies major, a flexible interdisciplinary option that allows for courses across several departments. Definitely look into fulfilling a minor or major after studying abroad, because you often only need 2 or 3 more courses.
Talk to me if:
Talk to me if you're interested in pursuing the French Studies major, doing research with a professor in the department, or contemplating doing the French LSA+ and FSP back-to-back.
Most valuable academic info learned:
Getting to know professors outside the classroom and learning about their research interests, hobbies, educational background, etc. is one of the best things I've done as an undergrad at Dartmouth, especially within the French and Italian Department.
Favorite class and professor:
Every class on the Paris FSP—Art History with Pierre Leglise-Costa, French Culture with Mathilde Sitbon, French History with Laurent Douzou, and Literature with Faith Beasley (Dartmouth prof)—was incredibly interesting, engaging, and fun.
Major classes taken:
Major journey:
I came to Dartmouth interested in languages but determined to follow an interdisciplinary track. After spending two terms in France and discovering the flexibility of the French Studies major, I decided on French Studies and never looked back.
Major-specific activities:
Office assistant, French & Italian Department; Freedman Presidential Scholar Research Assistant to Lynn Higgins, Dept. Chair
Thesis status:
No thesis plans at the moment.
Other activities:
President, Casque & Gauntlet; Directorate Member, Dartmouth Film Society; Tour Guide, Admissions Office; House Manager, the Hopkins Center; Tucker Fellow in Arusha, Tanzania; Member, Sigma Phi Epsilon; MAV (Mentors Against Violence); Arts Staff Writer, The Dartmouth

Harel Levy beats Andreas Vinciguerra to decide World Group first-round series in near-empty Malmo arena. Israeli fan: I think it's a great day for tennis; finally, sports won over politics
Associated Press

Associated Press
Israel advanced to the Davis Cup quarterfinals for the first time since 1987 after rallying to beat seven-time champion Sweden 3-2 Sunday in a close series overshadowed by political protests.
In the first match, Sela got so upset when he lost the third set he cracked his racket against the indoor carpet. The burst of anger appeared to have energized the Israeli, who broke Johansson's serve in the first game of the fourth.

NFLPA executive director DeMaurice Smith called the referee lockout "one of the most deliberate disregards of player safety that I think has occurred in the National Football League."
NEW ORLEANS — So much for labor peace in the NFL.
Less than 18 months after the league and players ended a lockout by signing a 10-year collective bargaining agreement, NFL Players Association executive director DeMaurice Smith and union president Domonique Foxworth used a Super Bowl news conference to lay out a series of complaints about safety issues Thursday.
Smith began by threatening to file a grievance if the NFL refuses to institute a system to verify the credentials of all medical personnel on the 32 teams. He mentioned three amendments the NFLPA wants to make to the new CBA, including the appointment of "a neutral chief safety officer who can hear appeals about acceptable levels of medical care."
He called the NFL's lockout of its officials at the start of this season "one of the most deliberate disregards of player safety that I think has occurred in the National Football League since our inception."

The union has been pressing the NFL to put independent neurological consultants on sidelines during games to help diagnose and treat concussions, something league general counsel Jeff Pash announced at a news conference earlier Thursday he expects to begin next season.
But Smith would only acknowledge having "heard that they have relented, at least in some respect, to have sideline concussion experts. We have not seen the proposal."
Pash did say that "details need to be worked through" with the NFLPA.
Foxworth mentioned the use of replacement officials, the NFL's desire for an 18-game season, the increased slate of Thursday night games and the New Orleans Saints bounty investigation as examples of items that have driven a wedge between the players and the league. "All those things are happening, and our players see it," Foxworth said, "and they lose trust."

A gallery talk and closing reception for the current exhibition in the Bobick Gallery will be held on Thursday, April 25 at 5 p.m. Pulitzer Prize finalist and photographer, Chris Walker, created the featured exhibit titled "Six Nights a Year." The exhibition is Walker's 22-year social documentary series exploring the coming of age for rural Midwesterners under the lights of the region's myriad, rural county fairs.
Walker has photographed assignments for clients ranging from The Associated Press and The New York Times to Scientific American, Inc., and Camping Life magazine, where he has been the regular photography columnist for four years. In 2000, Chris and two co-workers from the Toledo Blade were Pulitzer Prize finalists for a story exposing a government cover-up responsible for the ongoing deaths of 8 percent of a company's workforce. In 1995, the Ernst Haas Awards named Chris to their annual list of the world's top 100 emerging photographers for his "Six Nights a Year" project.
He currently resides in Baltimore, Md., where he is an affiliate professor of art, teaching various aspects of technical photography at Loyola University Maryland.
The Bobick Gallery is located on the first floor of the humanities building and is open Mon-Fri from 9 a.m. until 5 p.m. This exhibit is free and open to the public.

Boy killed by car Sunday second resident to die after running away from DHS Tulsa facility
Police have been called to a Tulsa DHS group home more than 200 times since 2009, including reports of sexual assaults, fights and runaways, records show.
An 11-year-old boy who died Sunday after being struck by a car was at least the second resident to die after running away from the facility, a Tulsa World review shows. A 16-year-old girl died in 2009 after running away from the home and being struck by a train.
Authorities continue to search for a pickup that left the scene Sunday after striking Christopher Seaton, 11, on Interstate 44 near 24th West Avenue.

Today, we stand on the cusp of another mistake that could sink American industry in the midst of a recession. Congress is toying with the idea of placing artificial caps on executive compensation.
The AIG BacklashThe latest battle in this crusade began on Wall Street. Several years ago, a handful of people in the finance arm of AIG began engaging in risky behavior that led to heavy losses. To prevent the firm's ruin, the US government bailed out AIG with cash infusions exceeding $180 billion. And just as the media was primed to report on every dollar spent by the company, public disclosures revealed that AIG had given out more than $218 million in 2008 bonuses—a hefty sum by most standards, but hardly a dot on the balance sheet of the firm's otherwise staggering losses.
Nevertheless, the backlash was harsh. A Gallup poll showed that 85 percent of Americans were bothered or outraged by the bonuses. Chief Executive Edward Liddy, who took office after the firm's most egregious recklessness, was subjected to a grilling on Capitol Hill.
Now Americans are demanding regulation of executive compensation. However, the call for broad caps on what executives can earn, without regard for their performance, is not the solution. In fact, such a blunt tool would ultimately hurt American interests and leave us at greater risk.
"We cannot attract and retain the best and the brightest talent if employees believe their compensation is subject to continued and arbitrary adjustment by the US Treasury," Liddy wrote in a letter to Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner earlier this year.
Previous attempts to legislate limits on executive compensation have only escalated the arms race. In 1993, Section 163(m) of the Internal Revenue Code limited the deduction for executive compensation under the corporate income tax to $1 million; but corporate America not only found a way over the hurdle by turning to stock options, it used the hurdle as a jumping-off point for setting higher baseline salaries.
"The $1 million limitation on deductibility of senior executive compensation resulted in many companies increasing CEO salaries to $1 million," says Richard Floersch, executive vice president of McDonald's and chairman of the Center on Executive Compensation. "Earlier limitations on exit packages had the same effect—the ceiling became a floor."
Many Options for Reform
Lawmakers need to realize that they have more tools at their disposal than simply capping what key employees can earn. For example, it may be time to review the relationship between boards of directors and management. Because boards often set executive pay, a chief executive who also sits on the company's board can present a conflict of interest. A clearer separation of the CEO and chairman roles would go a long way toward ensuring the board's interests lie with the shareholders.
Another idea is to link executive pay more closely to performance. Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke supports new rules tying management's rewards to its accomplishments.
In a study conducted in 1999 at the University of Southern California's Marshall School of Business, Kevin Murphy found evidence that stock ownership and stock options are more effective drivers of performance than base salaries. One way to increase managers' stake in the company's health would be to place stricter limits on the length of time executives can hold onto stock options before cashing out.
Many firms are also instituting "Say on Pay" policies, in which shareholders are given the opportunity to cast votes on compensation. The vote is nonbinding, but it offers another voice in the boardroom that's difficult to ignore.
In sum, there are many options for reforming how companies go about rewarding their employees aside from setting arbitrary limits on what they take home. Simply writing down a number may quiet the crowds for now, but in the long run it will do the country a disservice.

GUARDIAN Hinges are the finest hinges made in the world for heavy gates - there is no equal. Our hinges have unique engineering qualities that enable them to bear weight differently than any other hinge. That is not to say that the other hinges are bad; quite the contrary. However, when it comes to heavy gates, or gates that are used frequently - for instance, trash gates, heavy commercial gates, community pool gates, or gates with an electric operator - then a better hinge should be employed. This is where GUARDIAN Hinges come in, and have done so for 30 years and counting.
We just don't claim our hinge is the best, we set out to prove it. Guardian Hinges are the only hinges known to have independent testing by an engineering facility. The Guardian Hinge is superior to our competitors' hinges with features that are unparalleled, and this is why we can back our product with the only Lifetime Warranty in the industry.

Half The Sky MovementTurning Oppression Into Opportunity for Women Worldwide
The central moral challenge of our time is reaching a tipping point. Just as slavery was the defining struggle of
the 19th century and totalitarianism of the 20th, the fight to end the oppression of women and girls worldwide defines our
current century.
Hidden in the overlapping problems of sex trafficking
and forced prostitution, gender-based violence, and maternal mortality is the single most vital opportunity of our time —
and women are seizing it. From Somaliland to Cambodia to Afghanistan, women's oppression is being confronted head on and real,
meaningful solutions are being fashioned. Change is happening, and it's happening now.
Journalists Nicholas Kristof (we LOVE Mr. Kristof and "Like" him on Facebook!) and Sheryl WuDunn took on
this urgent moral challenge in 2009 with their acclaimed best-selling book, Half the Sky: Turning Oppression into Opportunity
for Women Worldwide. They encouraged readers all over the world to do the same.
Now, a landmark movement — inspired by Kristof and WuDunn's work and also entitled Half the Sky
— is working to amplify the book's impact. Ignited by a high-profile national television event and fueled
by innovative multi-platform initiatives, Half the Sky is galvanizing even more people to join the burgeoning
movement for change.

Kilo for me too.......
I put a long boring post up a while ago about building it out of the box.
how much does the stock kilo tt weigh?
i think in one of the newer threads someone said 19lbs, but that's not exact. i ordered a frameset but don't have it yet and it won't have the stock components so i won't be able to measure it for you... maybe someone with a stock one could?
and just for future reference, when asking a question in an existing thread, it's advisable to ask it in one that is the most recent. this kiloTT thread is comparatively outdated.
im pretty sure the OP was kidding
who knows. he posted on new years.
It's Kosher too. Once you peel back the gelt wrapper, it's all good inside.
You don't even have to search, just scroll down on the main page and there's a whole page about them.

i hear this is one of the finer track bikes if your on a budget.
Ok. Even *I* am getting tired of Kilo TT threads, and I have one.
Mods, can we just sticky an "All About The Kilo TT" thread or something? Merge all the threads into one, and then if anyone asks another question about the Kilo TT we can point them there. And then drop them into a vat of boiling oil.

Nearly two-thirds of benefit plan sponsors think employer-provided health care should continue to be the primary way individuals receive health insurance, a new survey found.
The survey also found that 25 percent of respondents said the current health care system should be replaced with a government-sponsored system, while 20 percent supported a universal health care system with coverage purchased by individuals.
Many of the respondents—71 percent—said the current U.S. health care system needed an overhaul, with 64 percent of those saying that a uniform, nationwide approach to health care was needed.
Findings from the study, which was conducted by the Brookfield, Wisconsin-based International Foundation of Employee Benefit Plans, were based on responses from 1,054 U.S. benefit plan sponsors, trustees and others associated with employee benefits.
While many plan sponsors agree that health care reform is needed, 54 percent don't expect big changes in the immediate future, and less than half expect major federal reforms on the issue within the next presidential term, the International Foundation of Employee Benefit Plans said.
"Like many Americans that are struggling with health care, employers are also frustrated with the system, yet they are skeptical that a solution is imminent," Sally Natchek, senior director of research at the foundation, said in a statement.
The report is available for foundation members for $67; nonmembers may purchase it for $100. The report can be found at www.ifebp.org.

NeNe Leakes Wants Nothing To Do With Kenya Moore Or Marlo Hampton
February 24, 2014 03:30 PM by Megan Thompson
It was supposed to be all fun and games at Cynthia's Bailey Bowl, but the event was a huge disaster. The girls from The Real Housewives Of Atlanta formed teams to compete in some fun activities. But the team spirit turned ugly when Marlo tried to confront NeNe about their friendship. Find out what NeNe had to say about Marlo and her new BFF, Kenya.
Could the Bailey Bowl have turned out any worse? It seemed like organized chaos, people cheating at games and then a girl fight abruptly ended the event. Poor Cynthia was only trying to organize a fun day! But these girls can't all be in the same place and not have some drama. So let's rewind and remember why NeNe wasn't happy with Marlo at this event. Let's just say that NeNe and Kenya aren't on good terms and Marlo was supporting Kenya. In Nene's mind Marlo is her friend and not Kenya's! So let's take a look at what went down at the Bailey
Brawl Bowl.
"I supported Marlo and helped her unselfishly when nobody wanted her around. Some of these girls were uncomfortable with Marlo's criminal background and didn't want her around. I looked past that and really tried to see her heart," NeNe wrote in her Bravo blog that she tweeted out. She also went on to say that, "A so-called friend that fraternizes with the enemy is an opportunist in my opinion." So now NeNe wants nothing to do with either of these two women going forward. "When I'm done with you, I'm done with you," NeNe wrote.
NeNe is getting a lot of support from her Facebook fans. So let us know if you think NeNe is right about Marlo or if she is just jealous of the friendship that Marlo and Kenya have. We want to hear from you, so leave us a comment below!

NeNe Leakes basically showed her True Colors. She is Too Ghetto and Hoodrat. She has No Class whatsoever. For instance, NeNe Leakes was clearly seen Throwing Water bottles at Marlo Hampton. And she should (Not) be Jealous of Marlo Hampton and Kenya Moore (New) friendship. She is The Oldest and she is Acting like her shoe Size. She doesn't have another Job other than Real Housewives of Atlanta, and if Nene Keeps acting like this she Will be definitely (Jobless). And Homeless asking Marlo Hampton and Kenya Moore can she come and Live with them. She is clearly (Not) wise for her Age.

The only thing I disagree with nene about is that just because I don't like someone doesn't mean that you don't have to dislike them. Neither Kenya or Marlo has done or given nene anything. So she shouldn't worry about either of their friendships. Lets see what Kenya can do for Marlo or Marlo can do for Kenya. I think Kenya will drop Marlo quicker than their friendship lasted

Noelle and Conor's Wedding
"This was the perfect place for me to have my wedding, I loved the homey feel of it, with the fireplace and the concrete floors, and I loved my pictures in the park. The reason I only give it 4 stars is because I feel the staff I met with for my walkthrough didn't communicate things well with the guy who was my manager for the night. It was about stupid stuff that only I noticed, but I felt like my walkthrough was pointless if they weren't going to tell the guy all the things I wanted. The things were: my chairs were supposed to be curved but they were setup in straight rows, the dividing doors were supposed to be closed before the ceremony, and they didn't get closed so my guests started walking in and sitting down then had to be asked to move when they did decide to close the door. We were supposed to have drinks ready for us in the bridal suite and after the ceremony, and we had already told the staff what we wanted, but they never told the manager, so he had to keep asking me if he could get me anything. I loved the venue, but their communication with the night-of manager was bad."
