Kalettes is a fresh new vegetable here to jazz up your garden. Developed through traditional breeding techniques, Kalettes is a non-gmo hybrid of kale and brussels sprouts. Like brussels sprouts, the plant grows into a tall stalk; but, in place of the compact cabbage-like heads, the plant produces open florets that resemble kale. It is an attractive plant with green frilly leaves and streaks of purple. Kalettes have a sweet and mildly nutty flavour. It is an extremely versatile vegetable, lending itself well to roasting, sauteeing, steaming, and even eating raw. Like other dark and leafy greens, Kalettes are an excellent source of Vitamin C and Vitamin K.

Seattle Mariners defeat Milwaukee Brewers, 5-4
Oh, yes, things could always be worse with your pitching.
You could, for example, have about 260 pounds of suspended crazy on your hands with $46 million left on the meter.
That's the Chicago Cubs' sorry state of affairs with Carlos Zambrano, heaven help 'em.
But here a little more than two weeks before the all-star break, a time when you thought the Milwaukee Brewers would be throwing the last of the rods and head gaskets on the engine that keeps a baseball team ...

Miller Park has not been kind to Randy Wolf this season, but the veteran left-hander admitted the two home runs he surrendered Saturday afternoon had nothing to do with the venue.
"I think both of those would have been home runs anywhere," said Wolf.
Indeed, the home runs by Milton Bradley and Jose Lopez that propelled the Seattle Mariners to a 5-4 victory, ending the Milwaukee Brewers' five-game winning streak, were hardly wall-scrapers. But, after surrendering five...

Nutrition Standards Proposed for 'Competitive' Foods in Schools
Apr. 25 -- A new report by the Institute of Medicine proposes a set of nutritional standards for foods and drinks available in schools that compete with the national school meal programs. The standards promote consumption of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and nonfat or low-fat dairy products and limit the amount of saturated fat, salt, added sugars, and total calories. The standards also recommend against the sale of caffeinated items.

Outdated Policies Are Impediment for Americans With Disabilities
Apr. 24 -- Although the Americans with Disabilities Act has helped increase awareness of barriers faced by people with disabilities, and advances in science and engineering have led to better assistive technologies that make it easier for individuals to lead productive, independent lives, outdated regulations too often impede access to health care coverage and assistive devices for many who need them, says a new report by the Institute of Medicine.

Robotics are Increasingly Used by Defense Department
Apr. 18 -- In 2004 the U.S. military had 150 robots in Iraq and Afghanistan, but today, there are nearly 5,000 in those areas of conflict, according to a story on MSNBC. They are being used to detect roadside bombs and mines as well as search caves and buildings for insurgents. The investment in such technologies has also increased with the government planning to spend $1.7 billion on ground-based robots between 2006 and 2012, up from $100 million in 2004. [more]

Talks with Poland, EU, first step to resolve Polish-Belarus emergency: Belarus ambassador
Published : Jan 10, 2022 - 22:59 Updated : Jan 11, 2022 - 17:25
Belarusian ambassador to Korea Andrew Chernetsky speaks during a recent interview with The Korea Herald at the Embassy of Belarus in Itaewon, Seoul, on Jan. 4. (Sanjay Kumar/The Korea Herald)
Negotiations with Poland and the European Union are the first step toward normalizing the Polish-Belarus border situation and Belarus is ready for talks, according to Belarusian ambassador to Korea Andrew Chernetsky.
Speaking during an interview with The Korea Herald on Jan. 4, Chernetsky cited Polish and EU authorities' reluctance to consultations on the issue and military operations as root causes of the crisis.
According to the ambassador, Belarus has proposed the European Commission organize consultations on cooperation in combatting illegal migration several times since April 2021. However, Polish and EU officials consistently refused all efforts at dialogue and instead politicized the problem.
The European Commission is the EU executive body that promotes the general interest of the EU by proposing and enforcing legislation as well as by implementing policies and the EU budget.
Chernetsky accused the EU of applying double standards in gauging its member states' actions that have come under criticism from international organizations such as UNHCR, the International Organization for Migration, OSCE and the Council of Europe.
Chernetsky admitted he was not aware of the EU's plans regarding the Belarus-Poland border crisis but mentioned similar problems appeared constantly in many places, citing a recent example of 27 migrants who drowned while heading for the shores of Great Britain from France by boat across the English Channel.
"The routes for the people seeking better lives or escaping unbearable conditions in their homelands have always existed," he highlighted.
"It is possible to succeed in confronting this challenge only together, certainly not by building fences and deepening 'dividing lines,' imposing sanctions, closing the sky." Chernetsky urged all parties to communicate and to address illegal migration, a constant common challenge for neighboring states.
Chernetsky upheld that Belarus stands ready to work with all international partners, putting aside political differences to prevent the migration crisis in the region from spiraling downwards and to save human lives.
Chernetsky touted problems faced by refugees who were forced to leave their homes and are seeking salvation from tragic events due to military operations in Iraq and Afghanistan, holding Western states responsible for those wars.
"Belarus, unlike Poland, did not take part in these wars," he added.
In opposition to the views expressed by Polish Ambassador to Korea Piotr Ostaszewski in a recent interview with The Korea Herald holding Belarus responsible for the current border crisis, Chernovtsy said firm reasons and evidence must be put forth before blaming a government of the sovereign country.
Chernovtsy denied the involvement of Belarusian forces in promoting hope for settlement in Poland or Germany and emphasized that Belarus is not responsible for the reasons that made these people to leave their motherlands and head for Poland or Germany.
"A Belarusian airline did not bring these people to Minsk," Chernovtsy emphasized, adding the final destination of the refugees was not Belarus and they just chose a route through Belarus.
"In other cases, they will take other routes, through other countries. In particular, would it not be correct to blame England or France in the case mentioned above," he said.
According to Chernovtsy, people on the border between Belarus and Poland want to get to Europe because they have relatives and friends who settled in European countries earlier.
"They were looking for democracy, and they found it," he said, urging the Polish ambassador to think about facts instead of engaging in mutual accusations.

Chernovtsy underlined the desire to escape from the horrors of war at home as the major cause for the gathering of refugees on the Belarusian-Polish border.
Article 33 of the Refugee Convention ratifies that refugees cannot be sent to a place where they may be persecuted.
Chernovtsy recalled 1942 when 120,000 Polish people fled to Iran escaping the horrors of the World War II and were accepted by Iranian authorities.
He stressed that today the refugees are not accepted by Polish government.
"None of the independent journalists are able to report the real situation on the border from the Polish side, because the Polish government has closed access to this area for them," Chernovtsy highlighted.
"Poland has been insistently trying to blame Belarus in the current border crisis, but the main crisis is, in my opinion, in the Polish politics and recent challenging relations between Poland and the EU," Chernetsky said, acknowledging Belarus had no authority to intervene in the matter.
According to Chernetsky, Belarus cooperated with UNHCR, IOM and the Belarusian Red Cross Society and provided food, warm clothes, emergency assistance and humanitarian aid to people on the border.
"For those of them who are ready to stay in Belarus, my country is ready to provide asylum," Chernetsky announced.

Israeli Cabinet Defeats Move to Delay Pullout
By Ken Ellingwood, los angeles times — Jul 4th, 2005
An Israeli soldier walks in the Jewish settlement of Ganim, in the northern West Bank. At least eight Israeli families moved out of settlements in the West Bank and Gaza Strip in recent days, including one Sunday, in the largest number of voluntary departures so far ahead of the government's plan to tear down 25 settlements in August and September. Ariel Schalit | Associated Press
Israel's Cabinet on Sunday soundly defeated an attempt to delay the planned Gaza Strip withdrawal by three months.
The 18-3 decision was the first of two planned votes this week on proposals to postpone the pullout, scheduled to start next month. The parliament, or Knesset, is expected Wednesday to defeat a separate measure seeking a delay.
The proposals stoked fresh tensions between Prime Minister Ariel Sharon and his main political foe, Finance Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who joined two other right-wing ministers Sunday in backing the proposed delay.
Netanyahu, under pressure from rightist backers to resist the withdrawal, has indicated he would sit out the Knesset vote rather than back the current timetable — a move that Sharon aides said could lead to his dismissal from the Cabinet.
Sharon representatives were quoted anonymously in Israeli newspapers as saying Netanyahu was legally obliged to support the government's plan or forfeit his position as a minister.
Netanyahu aides insisted he is allowed to abstain from voting, and said Sharon did so while he was a minister in a Netanyahu-led government during the 1990s.
The odds of a showdown were waning by the time the Cabinet voted, as Sharon aides appeared to back away from threats Netanyahu would be sacked.
Netanyahu has voted in favor of the withdrawal when it has come up in the Knesset. But he also has been critical and maneuvered at times as if he were intent on derailing the withdrawal plan, apparently to bolster his right-wing following for a future battle with Sharon over leadership of their conservative Likud Party.
Israel plans to evacuate all 21 Jewish settlements from the Gaza Strip and four communities in the northern West Bank beginning in August.
The move defeated Sunday, sponsored by Agriculture Minister Yisrael Katz, would have delayed that until November.
Under last year's government decision clearing the way for the withdrawal, the Cabinet still must approve each phase in advance.
Sharon vows that the pullout will take place on schedule, despite opposition that has grown worrisome to authorities.

Humbled, stupid and ridiculous Rashida Black Beauty begs for money to take care of herself
Rashida Black Beauty
Tue, 20 Mar 2018 Source: Chris-Vincent Agyapong Febiri
I am extensively generous when it comes to donating to a random sane cause online but I wouldn't hesitate to call anyone who would even out of pity donate a pesewa to Rashida Black Beauty's ridiculous appeal for funds to take care of herself and pregnancy—brainless.
Rashida, a young girl from Berekum in the Brong Ahafo Region became a social media "star" after a video in which she was dishing out insults to a girl who had "snatched" her boyfriend, Kushman, went viral. Her delivery was funny, made better by the indigenous Berekum "bono" she flawlessly spoke.
A musical extension of the unintended viral video followed when Rashida's fame was fading. At that time, Ghanaians were losing the humour but that didn't stop Rashida—she was granted audience on several platforms and her ridiculousness defined the conversations on the Ghanaian social media landscape for almost a week.
A few months after Rashida's hilarious viral video, she went viral again. This hardly happens in the world of internet. Of course, except when you are Kim Kardashian who is capable of breaking the internet with her bare a$$ anytime she lets them out.
Rashida started trending for the second time: this was even more "powerful" as various feminists stepped in, to cleverly tap into the absurd publicity Rashida was receiving at the time, disguising their need for attention as a reach out to help the poor girl.
Nothing trends better in Ghana than leaked s*x tape—and this time, Rashida's own was out, with added extras, being a bunch of houseflies hovering around her coochie area as she n*kedly captures her "thang."
At this stage, it was no amusing—it became apparent that Rashida Black Beauty needed help and instead of offering her real help, Anita Erskine and a bunch of Ghanaian feminists stood up and wrote needless support letters while making promises they seem not to have honoured.
How Rashida became known was funny but what's even funnier is the fact that people like Anita Erskine, Lydia Forson and several others under what they call "women empowerment" jumped on at the time she needed real help and shaping, and offered what seemed at the time as brilliant words—which of course, she couldn't probably even read to understand, without really doing anything beyond just typing cheap words out of their smartphones for the girl.
Today, Rashida Black Beauty is pregnant and that's not the news, she is asking a section of the public to donate GH¢20 or more to whatever charitable cause or sense of entitlement she has, so she can take care of herself and her pregnancy.
And I am yet to read that, Anita Erskine or Lydia Forson has wired GH¢10,000 to Rashida, in support of her fundraising which she remains the sole beneficiary.
You would think a lot of Ghanaians care if the measuring rode for care was cheap words. Words are free, and everyone who loves making the headlines can dish them out. When it comes to paying out to make a difference, the loudest Ghanaian in the room suddenly goes mute.
Rashida Black Beauty did not need any radio interviews, public letters or whatever parody award her stupidity led those who ought to know better to grant her. She needed to be shaped, to be helped and a future laid in front of her. This costs money and because none of these people who reached out to her really cared, no one took the pain or challenge to invest in her and to take her out of the obvious mess she was glorifying herself in.
The latest video (below) I've watched of Rashida, appealing for funds has humility written all over it. Situations such as pregnancy without direction or even money to provide for yourself and the unborn child can turn arrogance into meekness and compelled a fool to reason. Hardship, though bad, teaches a lot of lessons.
Currently, Rashida needs just a place to stay, a single room for a year to rent that she says will cost only GH¢6000 —and no one is reaching out.
She now wants to learn a trade and there's no one out there to help. She's ready to stay in Berekum or move to Accra to learn this trade but accommodation is even a problem, let alone taking care of her upkeep during her apprenticeship.
Rashida has obviously been stupid but to me, this highlights the hypocrisy of Ghanaians, especially the headline seekers. When they have to back their words with action involving money, they disappear into thin air.
I wouldn't give a penny to Rashida and I am excited that, she has finally realized no one really gives a f*ck about her in Ghana.
That's reality, it has set in for her.
Perhaps you are wondering who's responsible for the pregnancy. It's the same Kushman—a clear indication that, nothing changed for Rashida. She even went back to the guy she called lame and all manner of names.

Q: Creating specific sub-study area in ArcGIS Desktop and classifying symboloy? I am using ArcGIS Desktop 10.1.
My study area is quite large (sometimes spanning across a few grid squares) and when I am running a viewshed analysis or calculating slope or euclidean distance it calculates for the entire region. But at times I just want to concentrate on a very small area (e.g. within a 10 km radius).
In these cases is there anyway to make sure that these analyses just focus on the required area rather than the entire region?
When it calculates for a really large area I am having difficulties with symbology - I can't classify results into anything meaningful!

A: I'm not as advanced as many of the users in this community, but I would clip each area I am interested in and conduct the analysis on each clipped area individually.  If you want to keep everything in one .mxd file, you may want to create a Map Book using Data Driven Pages.  It's a very efficient way to work on projects with multiple, distinct study areas.  Lastly, if this is a long-term project, you may want to look at building a model.  You can view a getting started video HERE.  I find ModelBuiler provides a great way to organise and improve your workflows.  It also partially automates your workflow.

A: There are a couple options, actually.

*

*Use Clip to trim the raster of interest (e.g. DEM) to only the area that you want to analyze.

*

*Advantage: you have a permanent feature that you can always use -- good for repeated analyses over the same area.

*Disadvantage: duplicate rasters consume file space and/or can get confusing.

*Set the appropriate Geoprocessing Environment (in this case, Processing Extent) so the analysis only operates on a "window" subset of your full raster (or features) of interest. You can set it to the display extents (what your window currently shows), to be the same as another feature (e.g. "match my buffer10km polygon"), or numerical extents of your own choosing.

*

*Advantages: no need to create new rasters each time, and the processing environments can be set either globally (through the menu) or each time you run a tool (button on the bottom of any tool's dialog box).

*Disadvantage: the extent isn't permanently stored (unless you're referring to another existing feature), and, personally, I occasionally forget to reset my processing extent.

Either one will work, although I tend to prefer using the geoprocessing environment to cut down on the number of rasters that I need to keep track of -- just one DEM used for everything, instead of making DEM_full and DEM_10km and DEM_county etc.

Nashville is an amazing place, but sometimes it can feel a little crowded. The Tennessean reports that Nashville grows by 100 people each day. When the Music City walls start closing in, it's good to take a day trip to experience a new place and get some space. Cue Clarksville! Clarksville is a 45-minute drive from Nashville and gives you all the fun, food, and shopping that you'd find in Nashville but with fewer bachelorette parties and tourists.
I headed to Clarksville on a rainy Saturday in January. The local university, Austin Peay, was still on winter break and it felt like I had the entire city to myself. I was excited to experience the energy and vibrancy for myself!
Read about what to do in Clarksville TN for the day.
Yada Yada Yada Deli – Located in downtown Clarksville, Yada Yada Yada Deli is a great way to start the day. Start your day in Clarksville with coffee, pastries, and if you're there on a Saturday, their yummy eggs benedict. If breakfast isn't your thing, stop by for a smoothie, sandwich, or coffee. Yada, yada, yada, everything on their menu is amazing.
Miss Lucille's Cafe – One of the most amazing places to grab lunch in Clarksville is at Miss Lucille's Cafe. Everything on their menu looked amazing, but settle on the Smokehouse Nachos as an appetizer. For an entree, try Fannie's Chicken Salad Sandwich and Sadie Mae's Grilled Cheese. Honestly, you can't go wrong with anything here so bring an appetite.
Roux Americajun – Roux is a newer restaurant in Clarksville that features New Orleans cuisine. The menu features crescent pies, po'boys, shrimp and grits, jambalaya and much more! No matter what, you have to get some beignets for dessert!
Journey's Eye – Journey's Eye is a home decor store that specializes in one of a kind pieces. There you'll find a wall of banjo's, a gorgeous chess board and other home decor odds and ends. The owners frequently travel searching for unique pieces to sell so you never know what you're going to find in there!
Humble Universe Distributors Used Books – If you love digging around in charming bookstores, I know just the place! It's easy to start looking through the bookshelves and spend hours discovering authors and reading up on topics like philosophy and women's issues.
AndVinyl – Love music? AndVinyl is the place for you. Here you'll find new and used vinyl as well as cool band t-shirts. The vinyl is affordably priced and they have a wide selection of artists and genres from Justin Bieber to Childish Gambino. Definitely dig through and find your favorite album.
Down On The Alley Vintage – The cutest little vintage shop located on a small corner of downtown, Down on the Alley sells vintage clothing, jewelry, and other nic nacs. The employees are so warm and friendly and love sharing the stories behind the vintage pieces they sell.
Miss Lucille's Marketplace – After having lunch at the cafe, work off your meal by walking around the marketplace. Here you'll find an eclectic marketplace full of so many goodies and gems. The first half of the marketplace is vendor booths. With over 200 vendors, you're bound to find something whether it's jewelry, antiques, or other handmade goods. The second half of the marketplace is a furniture design space. They have tons of chairs, couches, table and other furniture. The pieces reminded me of Restoration Hardware but more affordable. You definitely feel inspired and ready to decorate after walking around!
Urban Trails – On a beautiful brisk day, get outdoors! During our walk, we saw many people out running and enjoying the trails. You see great views of the city and also hear all the birds chirping along as you walk. The trails are historic and tell a small part of Clarksville history as you walk. Read all about the three trails here.
Planet 3 Extreme Air Park – You don't have to be a kid to enjoy a trampoline park. When you get to Planet 3, you buy a ticket and a pair of no-slip socks, put your personal items in a cubby and have fun! Planet 3 has foam pits, dunk zones, a ninja obstacle course, extreme dodgeball, and an open jump area. They say twenty minutes of jumping is the equivalent to an hour on the treadmill. This is great exercise while also having so much fun bouncing around.
There is so much more to do and see in Clarksville, but this is all we conquered in a day. We have a list of places to go at a later time and will definitely be back since it's such a short distance from Nashville. It's the perfect place to get away and slow down a little.

Molina pulls out of Lipinets fight; Inson steps in

After appearing at the final prefight news conference Wednesday, welterweight John Molina withdrew from his bout with Sergey Lipinets on Thursday night because of a back problem.
"Very frustrated right now. My back went out last night," Molina told ESPN in a text message Friday.
Molina was due to fight former junior welterweight world titleholder Lipinets in a 10-round bout between brawlers on the Manny Pacquiao-Keith Thurman Fox PPV card Saturday night at the MGM Grand Garden Arena.
Sean Gibbons, president of Pacquiao's MP Promotions and a co-promoter of the event, told ESPN that Jayar Inson, an MP Promotions fighter who was supposed to box journeyman Mahonri Montes on the undercard, accepted an offer to fill in for Molina and face Lipinets. Bob Bennett, the executive director of the Nevada State Athletic Commission, told ESPN that Inson had been approved to face Lipinets.
Ringside Seat: Will Thurman be too much for Pacquiao at 40?
"We received a call from PBC, and they asked if Jayar Inson would like to step up to take on Sergey Lipinets and we accepted, 100 percent. He's looking forward to this opportunity," Gibbons said. "He knows how to fight."
Molina said his initial back issue happened three weeks ago and that it forced him to take a week off from training. He said his back went out again Thursday night while "keeping my body loose."
Molina (30-8, 24 KOs), 36, of Covina, California, a former lightweight and junior welterweight world title challenger, was seeking to bounce back from a disputed decision loss to Omar Figueroa Jr. in February.
Inson (18-2, 12 KOs), 28, a southpaw from the Philippines, is coming off an eight-round split-decision loss to Jonathan Steele on Jan. 19 at the MGM Grand on the undercard of Pacquiao's victory over Adrien Broner.
Lipinets (15-1, 11 KOs), 30, a Kazakhstan native fighting out of Los Angeles, is coming off a 10th-round knockout of former titlist Lamont Peterson on March 24 in a leading candidate for fight of the year.

Lilly is so tender like a real flower. She needs to be loved and kissed. She painfully worries about how people treat her, how she is perceived. In generally, Lilly is a proud and brave woman. She is able to command, take responsibility for any actions she makes during her life. She does not tolerate lies and flattery; she can command well and even sacrifice something dear for herself in the name of a good goal.

It is important to pay attention to her, recognize her talents and merits. She does not care about failures, she is an optimist.
Besides, Lilly is very sentimental. She is sensual, honest, frank, and faithful. In addition, in a relationship, she requires the partner to have similar qualities. Jealousy is not peculiar to her, but she also will not tolerate jealousy from the partner, because, in her opinion, this will destroy the relationship. It is important for Lilly to satisfy her own ambitions. She inspires and charms everyone, who meets her. She will make the night a particular one. She has many ideas, which she is going to bring to life. Surely, there are so many wishes that cannot be omitted, so you can help her to realize them.

It's 4:30 on the last day of a tough quarter. You're getting flooded with new customer emails, singing the praises of sales reps who ARE KILLING IT!!!!! High-fives are thrown, beers are cracked, and future commission checks are pretty much inked.
But not everyone is happy. Not all deals were won. Some of your sales colleagues are still in their seats, silently seething over why they didn't hit quota. More often than not, they're blaming the product, thinking about the lack of highly requested features. The ones they've been harping over for months. The ones you chose not to build.
Hearing your product broken down into missing features and lost deals is enough to make any product manager wary of working with sales. It's hard to focus on building a truly great product when you're just trying to stay afloat in the non-stop flood of requests, often tied to strong personalities and large dollar signs.
The problem with this dynamic is that sales has such good insight into the market, and they know very well what your product's strengths and weaknesses are.
When product managers collaborate with sales, they create better products.
Like product managers, salespeople can be visionaries — 20% of CEOs started out in sales or marketing. Plus, their core skills lie in getting people to flock to, and love, your product.
They talk to scores of people about the product, and they have a vast amount of data about who buys and who doesn't.
They have a deep understanding of how your product stacks up to the competition and a strategic viewpoint of your industry.
They're amazing negotiators. Learning how they work might help you improve your prioritization skills.
These are definitely people that you want to have in your camp.
Product managers may know features and functionalities inside and out, but sales teams know the language of the users. They hear the emotion behind the decision to buy. They know every customer who ran into that bug during their trial. They vividly recall the deal they lost to a competitor three times more expensive over a feature that won't really help the business.
Understanding this insight could help you build more engaging products from the start and improve the most relevant features as your product grows.
Alex Stanciu, Product Manager at Auth0 says that sales calls let project managers see the mental model customers have about the product early on.
"The most interesting calls are when customers have unique edge cases, stretching and pushing the boundaries of what we offer. We discover potential new 'jobs' we can aim to solve, and test our foundational principle of 'Build a Platform, not a Product' when we see our Platform provide solutions to challenges we've never seen before."
Product and sales teams who sit close together may find it easier to collaborate — this is especially important for early stage teams, when usage data is not statistically significant.
Dejana Bajic, Product Manager at Yelp and formerly at UserVoice, writes that she was usually introduced to UserVoice prospects by sales teams.
When she wasn't able have a one-on-one conversation with a prospect, Dejana asked her sales colleagues for the top three no-sale reasons and the top three questions/concerns before or during the free trial. This is a great approach if you're crunched on time.
In most organizations, sales people have the most data points about prospects and soon-to-be users. Collecting and understanding this data will point to which parts of the product are resonating with users and which parts are duds.
Because a lot of this data is valuable at the aggregate level, collecting insights ad hoc through chat or the occasional check-in won't be as effective.
An easy-to-use system for collecting feedback will make your life easier and prevent key insights from slipping through the cracks. To ensure that salespeople to stick to it, embed the process into one of their regular, core activities. For example, every time they update whether they've won or lost a deal in the CRM, have them fill out a form with more information.
The information also sits in Typeform, which we can use to easily export to Excel for further data analysis.
Jake Butler, Product Manager at MeYou Health, uses sales conversations and cross-functional data to prioritize features.
Tom Huntington, CEO of Windshield, warns product managers about taking alignment for granted.
To take this even further, you could have a rule where you don't go furthering into building the product until sales "buy." Not only can this increase your product sales, but it can also help you predict the potential impact of what you build, before you pour countless hours into creating it.
Don't let your product fail because you didn't get buy-in from sales. Or even worse, don't let your product fail because you weren't able to work with sales on a product they actually loved.

The Bills over SIU by 1
By The Wiz, December 3, 2018 in Billikens.com Main Board
The Wizard of Odds
What a great win over Butler....For post game analysis...see the But spread thread.
For those that didn't think it was a great win because of the swing in the spread..."how good could But be ....we whupped them"...I would say they are missing the point.....It;s not that they aren't that good ...it is that we are playing a suffocating defense. Championship D....the best D that most of these teams will see all year. You will see it in the report card below. Butler came in with a grade of A and while their numbers took a hit....after the game they remained an A. How could this be? Because the computer figured that the loss to SLU was a "good" loss....ie Butler lost to a good team.
As for the Bills, we move up a notch to a grade of B.....B is good enough to win the A-10 but B+ would put us in the running for an NCAA at large spot...not to mention a better chance at winning the conference....so we are almost there. In the But spread thread I mentioned the next 2 games (But & SIU) were important for setting the tone for the rest of the season (not to mention completing the data set for more accurate forecasting)...I said if we win 2 we are rolling....if we split , we will stay in the B to B- area and if we lose 2 ...not so good. So we beat But ...we have the 1st win....and now we come to SIU....
This will be tricky sledding ....if you haven't figured it out from the spread in the title of this thread ...this will be a tough game....for a number of reasons...not the least of which ....they are a pretty good team. SIU enters into this game as a B- team...so this will be B- vs B and the fact we are away pretty much evens it out.....there is a large variable spread on this game too...3 pts either way....So we could win by 4 OR lose by 2. We can't take this game lightly. Forecasting would be so easy if we were consistent. One of the things I always look for are trends and one of the disturbing trends now is we play to the competition (up or down)...couple this with the fact that you have a normal let down after a big game (particularly if the next game is away against an even or lesser team.) We can't take this game lightly....I like the fact that this is the Billiken Club travel trip ...the extra support will be a help. I would love to go to this game but can't get off from work...I went last year to Hinkle and it was a good time even though we got squashed by the bad guys...what a difference a year makes......If you can make the trip , I would recommend it...So it's time to look at the report card.....
.................................SLU..............................SIU.................................................SLU.............................SIU
..................................................OFF......................................................................................DEF...............
PPG.........................D-....................................D+.................................................A.................................B+
FG%..........................C-...................................A-..................................................A+ (14th ITN)............B
3P%..........................D.....................................A+ (13th ITN)...............................A.................................C
FT%...........................F.....................................B-..........................................................................................
Reb............................A-...................................F+..................................................B.................................B-
Top 100 ITN
BLKS....French and Gordon tied at 73rd ...2 on the list at the same time....these 2 have more blks than whole teams do.
FG%.....Fletcher...69th
Honor Roll ...the Bills Defense.
WWN2D2W...............This will be a little different then usual....Yes we have to stop Fletcher....a hot shooter right now....slashing ...61/56/80....hold this guy to 10pts and the slash to 42/33...we can do it ...till now most teams haven't bothered him much...we need to bother him....but this will be a little more difficult because....SIU has 6 players shooting A+ from the arc (40%+)...So the Bills will really have to patrol the perimeter. I would put our best defender on Fletcher and make sure the other Bills players are not giving any open shots. Hold SIU to 33% from the arc as a team...... We need to bring down the TOs to 12....the good news is that while we are a grade D in TOs SIU is a D-....but lets not play to their level....if we can get the TO diff up in our favor ...it is no longer a close game....we could win by 8-10 pts. We need to out rebound them and let's keep those blks coming...at least 4.
Bottom line....This game will be about... the unstoppable force (SIU 3P shooting) against the immovable object (SLU shooting defense)...who will win the battle....we should....there shooters are on a hot streak...an unsustainable hot streak...If we bother them those numbers should come down. If we play like we did against But we win ....take away the excess TOs and we win easily.....Did I mention ...We can't take this game lightly.
I will be updating the injury report in the next few days as info becomes available.

Every game scares me because our team has not learned how to close out games too many turnovers and missed free throws.
BigMouthBilliken reacted to this
I know they are just numbers but look at the offensive stats for Butler before last Saturday's game, and the current offensive stats for SIU. Among other stats the % TOs is worse for SIU (20.1%) than what it was for But (14.3%) and what it is for SLU (18.6%). I am not saying it will be easy but it is winnable.
slu72
Wouldn't call it a trap game, because SIU's a good team and they're at home. Also this is a rivalry game of sorts; the country bumpkins vs the Big city slickers. Correct me if I'm wrong but we've played SIU just about every year for 50 years.
Hopefully Ford and staff can get this team focused and off their sugar high of beating Butler. Also, hoping Bess' injury was minor and won't be one of those nagging things. I don't hold out much hope to see Wiley play, but don't think he's a key to a winning this game.
More concerned about the number of TOs and squandering of points on our fast breaks. A lot of these have been unforced errors and must be cleaned up.
Go Bills!
Beer is available for purchase this season at SIU Arena as well.

I picked up a ticket today. Call Margo Lubis at the Billiken Club for details, sounds like a hoot and a half, especially after we win. 314-977-4758.

SIUC has five averaging double figures, ranging from Fletcher at 13.6 to Loyd at 10.3. Bartley is at 7.5 ppg but has a season high of 18. We have to have all five playing solid D.

This is a scary game .... SIU will play with a chip on their shoulder, they are better than us (ala us and Mizzou), they will be at home, we are coming down off a huge win, we are somewhat injured with Wiley and Bess limping out of the last one, and we are still struggling trying to find the various roles these guys are supposed to play. I think playing to the level of our competition is a good thing so maybe we can count on that. I think Mo Valley refs will be gunning for French and Gordon and Goodwin, so we have to be careful here and not repeat a Pitt first half.
I'd also like to see Isabell stop throwing the forearm out when he's dribbling. He's getting called way too much offensively to accumulate those type of fouls.

I wonder if the coaching staff worked with the bigs on altering instead of block shots or if Butler just didn't try to get the ball into the paint. We really seemed to avoid fouling.

Regarding the coming game with SIUC, without Bess or Wiley we can still win this game, it will just be harder to do so.
