The web site has a lot of useful information and sections, much more than the news edition. It is up-dated Monday through Friday during regular business hours.
A brief discussion is had about the edition with Brian Wong, the webmaster, who then converts the news edition into HTML. He posts on the web site.

The third step is to construct the e-mailing announcement. This is then sent by Constant Contact from 3am to 4am, PST, depending on the length and when the original material was received.
to the web site are made.
It is not unusual for stories to be expanded, or cut, pictures added, and the point is during the day Maria is up-dating the web site sections as needed. If there is a "serious correction," an announcement is made in the next edition, at the top.
The 1:00am goal is to reach the East Coast before they get out of bed, and to also try to reach European, the middle-east, and India before the end of their work day; otherwise, the news would be one day behind for them. It takes Brian three hours daily to complete the postings, so the goal is to call him that it is ready to go at 1:00am. Sometimes it goes past the "drop dead" point at 1:30am and goes into 2:00am. Neither the editor nor the webmaster are happy about being that late to start.
Web Trends tells us we have readers at 6:30am, EST, and 12:00pm, EST. Most read the edition in the morning.
Sometimes there are "extra editions" on a breaking story. The headlines click to the story on the web site, and bring the reader to the web site itself.
Tuesday, Thursday night, Saturday morning or day, other features and stories are researched, assembled, and drafts written. When it is not football season, several hours on Sunday are taken to catch up. Leasing News is a part-time effort by the editor, who is a principal in a 35 year old leasing company, American Leasing, Silicon Valley, California.
During the week, the editor generally opens incoming e-mail at noon, PST, working his lunch hour on Leasing News. E-mail is opened from time to time during the rest of the day, depending on time available. It is not kept open.
It should be noted, the Leasing News telephone number is not posted on the sight on purpose. This reduces the many questions from students, people who want to go into the leasing business, want to promote a press release, from attorneys or lessee or those with complaints, other reporters who have questions or information to share. There are hundreds of e-mails daily handled by one person. These are processed by e-mail which gives the ability to provide the specific information requested, to obtain information in writing rather than "verbal to writing," and makes it a more efficient to produce a news edition; hopefully more accurate, too, as everything then is in writing.
Why do I see yesterday's or an older version, and not today's issue?
Why didn't you print my e-mail message?
Please refer to our "on line" policy.
Where do you get your mailing list.?
Readers have to ask to join. We do not spam anyone. To be added to the mailing list, you must request it. We do not send anything about our company or personal e-mail or jokes to the leasing news list. We do not share our mailing list with anyone.
We follow Internet Netiquette at all times. Our sole purpose is to provide communication to improve our profession.
Leasing News generally has an edition on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. From time to time there are "extra's" or "flash" news, considered important to send out. Depending on the last date of the edition, we often sometimes will publish on a holiday, but usually note.
We follow Internet Netiquette at all times. Our sole purpose is to provide communication to improve, and entertain, our profession.
We reserve the right to deny sending the newsletter when requested. The majority of our readers reach us direct at www.leasingnews.org as the news edition is basically an "announcement' that the edition is posted.
How Do You Handle Accusations About Advance Rentals?
Leasing News does not want to print accusations. We confirm all information given to us before publishing. We verify all information given to us. We want to be "fair and accurate." Our role is industry news. We encourage your communication, but we have an adopted policy from the date of our inception.
We also invite all readers to utilize our "Customer Complaint" Bulletin Board.
in all the time, "know who you are dealing with." We hope you don't find out the hard w ay and our "Customer Complaint" Bulletin Board is one way to be alerted.
We do not want to discourage you from sending us "on" and "off the record," information, but we will not publish accusations. We will report the "inside" news and hope we are of sometimes entertaining, but always--- of educational benefit.
Do you know who funds ATM machines?
We have started a program for a bank network; it has a UNL agreement with teeth and they are a strong credit.
We have the ability to fund ATM deals, as you described, that fall within our parameters.
The dealer has a leasing plan where they get paid by the funding source.
No. Lessors can pay a referral fee. Several dealers are major publicly traded companies who "force" the lessee to use their "own leasing company." It is common. Many offer five percent to the vendor company who pay salesmen, if they like, part or all. It is not uncommon for US Bancorp, for one, to offer a vendor a five percent referral fee or "commission"( we have copies of the offer ). His is done at Dictaphone, among others.
Many will not even deal with a leasing company without copies of the lease contract, like CDW, or money in advance ( which many vendor related lessors have programs for this ).
They skirt the Personal Property License or Finance Law calling it a referral fee, and it is often paid to the company, who disburses it the sales staff or group involved in the "sale." Many even have a written agreement to validate the arrangement.
We don't say just because we disagree with you, we won't print what you have to say. Or you are in the minority, so we won't print what you have to say. We want to be fair ( and accurate ). You don't have to be part of the "in crowd" to get your opinion heard...or to give us some "insider news." We print criticism about ourselves. We always strive to be "fair and accurate." We care about every reader, no caste system here. Yes, we are provocative. That is one of our jobs. We also want to be informative, and entertaining, too.
When a writer signs his or her name to an article, they may be "bias" and have an opinion. It is their opinion. It is their viewpoint. They are then "bias." They also may appear "unfair" as they are expressing their viewpoint and opinion in the article. They are the writer of the article. They may be viewed as a "columnist" as in a printed newspapers.
When Christopher Menkin signs his name as publisher, it is considered an editorial of Leasing News. It represents the view of the publisher of Leasing News.
These are published once a month, sometimes more often. They are generally printed in chronological order when received. Often they have a response from the Editor, and so noted. Rarely are they edited, and if so, for netiquette. Letters that are longer than "usual," may be put in pdf format.

If it is an "out and out" advertisement, we will not use it. Best to make an inquiry. Often, we reject "news releases" when they are strictly promotions disguised as "news."
as we may not publish for another day, and if so, we place them in chronological order, unless it is very newsworthy. Often, if so, we will investigate it and add to what was sent to us. We may do that anyway, as we have found many press releases to be a "spin" or the exact opposite of what was sent to us. To sum it up, we do not automatically print "news releases."
There are two buttons under the masthead. One will take you directly to the current month archives of news editions. At the bottom, the archives are placed by year and month and go back to April, 2000.
The other button under the masthead will "search" the archives. It is free. Most archives are not free for stories over a month or so old. Our archives have been cumbersome at over 5,000 pages to say the least.
In trying to tweak this, we ran into stories that are not linked by chronological date, but other links we have created, such as "top stories," "the list," "funder." The good news is there are basically still in chronologically order as they appeared. The bad news, some may be duplicates of ones with a date. This has been a long term project to clean up, whenever we find the time for this chore. Luckily they only go back three years or so.

Q: Apache RewriteRule redirect except for 1 path and 2 IPs Hope I can explain this well enough!
I have some RewriteRules for a site under Apache that I am using to redirect users to the same pages on a different server. There are two exceptions - I need to let through 2 IP addresses to access the original server, and I don't want the rules to apply to a particular path. Here is my current ruleset:
RewriteCond %{REMOTE_HOST} !^10\.10\.10\.1(0|1)$
RewriteRule ^page/old/url/1$ http://www.site.com/new/url/1 [R=301,L]

# If the user is trying to get to /admin, let it past by skipping the next rewriterule
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/admin(|.*)$
RewriteRule ^.*$ - [S=1]

# Catch-all to send any "un-mapped" pages to the homepage
RewriteCond %{REMOTE_HOST} !^10\.10\.10\.1(0|1)$
RewriteRule ^ http://www.site.com/homepage [R=301,L]

# Other rules follow, but no redirections

So, I want the htaccess to redirect all users except for 2 IP addresses to the new site location. I want to ensure though, that anyone can access /admin. There is then a catch-all rule to pick up any pages that haven't been specifically redirected.
It seems either the REQUEST_URI line isn't matching, or the skip rule isn't working. Is there something obvious I'm missing?

A: It would seem simpler to catch the conditions you don't want rewriting first, that way you don't need to worry about them in your other rules.
Something like this:
#Don't rewrite known IPs or path /admin
RewriteCond %{REMOTE_HOST} ^10\.10\.10\.1(0|1)$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/admin($|\/|\/.*)
RewriteRule ^.*$ - [NC,L]

# Redirection rules
RewriteRule ^page/old/url/1/?$ http://www.site.com/new/url/1 [R=301,NC,L]
RewriteRule ^page/old/url/2/?$ http://www.site.com/new/url/2 [R=301,NC,L]
# Catch all
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.site.com/$1 [R=301,L]

Which were the only two horses to beat Red Rum in the Grand National?
The cancellation of the 2020 Grand National due to the coronavirus pandemic has put paid, at least temporarily, to any attempt by Tiger Roll to win the celebrated steeplechase three years running. Of course, Red Rum won the National three times, in 1973, 1974 and 1977, but what is, perhaps, less well-remembered is that 'Rummie', as he was affectionately known, also finished second in the National in 1975 and 1976 on his only other attempts.
In 1975, despite being sent off 7/2 favourite, Red Rum was denied a third consecutive victory by L'Escargot, trained by Dan Moore and ridden by Tommy Carberry, who won comfortably by 15 lengths. In 1976, Red Rum started at 10/1 and went down by two lengths to Rag Trade, trained by Fred Rimmell and ridden by John Burke.
Who is, or was, the most successful trainer in the history of the Grand National?
In the history of the Grand National, the original 'Master of Ballydoyle', Vincent O'Brien, had the distinction of saddling three winners in a row, namely Early Mist, Royal Mist and Quare Times, in 1953, 1954 and 1955, respectively. However, three men have saddled four Grand National winners apiece and are, jointly, the most successful trainers in the history of the Grand National.
In the pioneering days of the Grand National, Epsom-based trainer George Dockeray was the first to achieve the feat when, in 1852, the unfancied 50/1 chance Miss Mowbray, ridden by Mr. Alec Goodman, beat Maurice Daley and Sir Peter Laurie by a length and half a length in the fourteenth renewal of the famous steeplechase. Dockeray had previously trained the winner of three of the first four 'official runnings of the Grand National, namely Lottery (1839), Jerry (1840) and Gaylad (1842).
Over a century later, Fred Rimmell, a.k.a. 'Mr. Grand National', became the second trainer in history to saddle four Grand National winners when Rag Trade beat Red Rum by two lengths in the 1976 renewal. Rimmell, of course, was the trainer who had benefited from the dramatic collapse of Devon Loch in 1956, but aside from E.S.B., whose jockey Dave Dick admitted 'was a terribly lucky winner', also saddled Nicolaus Silver (1961) and Gay Trip (1970).
Last, but by no means least, Donald 'Ginger' McCain, trainer of Red Rum, who achieved legendary status by winning the Grand National in 1973, 1974 and 1977, finally achieved his fourth win, at the age of 73, in 2004. On that occasion, the twelve-year-old Amberleigh House, ridden by Graham Lee, defeated co-favourite Clan Royal by three lengths.
How many times has Tiger Roll won at the Cheltenham Festival?
At just under 16 hands high, Tiger Roll is small for a steeplechaser and was, in fact, originally bought by owner Michael O'Leary to win the Fred Winter Juvenile Handicap Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival. However, Tiger Roll proved significantly better than anticipated, winning the Grade One Triumph Hurdle, on just his second start for his new connections, in 2014.
Subsequently, despite his diminutive size, fences have been the making of him. Of course, in April, 2019, he made history by becoming the first horse since Red Rum, in 1974, to win the Grand National two years running, but he also has three further successes at the Cheltenham Festival to his name. He won the National Hunt Chase in 2017 and the Glenfarclas Cross Country Chase two years running, in 2018 and 2019, en route to victory in the Grand National.
Still only a nine-year-old, Tiger Roll takes the odd liberty with an obstacle but, although he did once unseat his rider in a novices' chase at Galway, when bumped by a rival at the second-last fence, he has never fallen. So, while Michael O'Leary has said that Tiger Roll is 'very unlikely' to run in the Grand National in 2020, another win in the Glenfarclas Cross Country Chase – which would be his fifth at the Cheltenham Festival – looks within the realms of possibility.
How many times did Donald 'Ginger' McCain win the Grand National?
Of course, the late Donald 'Ginger' McCain – who died in 2011, just two days shy of his eighty-first birthday – has his name writ large in the annals of Grand National history as the trainer of the incomparable Red Rum. Nevertheless, 'Mr. Aintree', as McCain was affectionately known in his heyday, remained in the training ranks until 2006, when he handed over his licence to his son, Donald Jnr., and, in 2004, won a record-equalling fourth Grand National.
That emotional victory came courtesy of the twelve-year-old Amberleigh House who, according to BBC commentator Jim McGrath, came 'absolutely flying down the outside' under jockey Graham Lee to beat joint-favourite Clan Royal by three lengths. Two years previously, Amberleigh House had been balloted out of the Grand National, despite winning the Becher Chase, over 3 miles 3 furlongs on the National Course, the previous November. Nevertheless, despite entering the 'veteran' stage of his career, Amberleigh House returned to Aintree to make Ginger McCain just the second trainer, after Fred Rimell, to saddle four Grand National winners.

Nigel Adkins scoffed at the suggestion an FA Cup third round tie away to Blackburn Rovers would become an unwanted diversion in a potentially pivotal month for Hull City.
Adkins knows this afternoon's result at Ewood Park will be secondary to next weekend's visit of Reading but City's head coach is keen to use the FA Cup as a stage to build confidence in a side bogged down by relegation fears in the Championship.
A win, no matter the opponents or the competition, is his only aim.
Do not expect City to submissively bow out of the FA Cup as they did the Carabao Cup in August. That defeat to Doncaster, when no player was aged over 22, was Leonid Slutsky's way of escaping a competition he had no wish to be part of but the team picked to face Blackburn should suggest Adkins wants to retain interest in the fourth round draw.
Blackburn are a club that share City's ambitions of securing their place in the Championship for 2018-19 and Tony Mowbray's promise of taking no risks should present the Tigers with a decent chance to progress. For a team that has won only one of their last 13 games, a victory at Ewood Park would not lack significance ahead of bigger tests in the Championship.
Tony Mowbray is expected to rest a number of his first team stars for the visit of Hull City, as the Blackburn boss keeps one eye on a crucial clash with League One promotion rivals Shrewsbury Town next weekend.
Mowbray has made changes for the previous FA Cup fixtures this season and is likely to leave out the likes of David Raya Martin, Charlie Mulgrew, Bradley Dack and Danny Graham for City's visit.
Richie Smallwood, who is just one booking away from a two-game ban, is another expected to sit this one out.
Opportunities are expected to be handed to Jayson Leutwiler, Peter Whittingham, Ryan Nyambe and Elliott Ward, while Dominic Samuel and Joe Nuttall could be Blackburn's front two after recovering from a recent sickness bug.
Darragh Lenihan remains out with a broken foot suffered on the opening day and Marcus Antonsson is sidelined with an ankle injury. Harry Chapman (hamstring) and Ben Gladwin (knee) are also ruled out.
Rekeem Harper this week returned to his parent club West Brom following an indifferent loan spell in East Lancashire.
Subs: Martin, Williams, Downing, Dack, Tomlinson, Butterworth, Graham.
Nigel Adkins has promised changes for the tomorrow's FA Cup tie at Blackburn in a bid to protect a slender squad ahead of bigger challenges in the Championship.
A fifth game in 15 days will see Adkins shuffle his pack against the League One side, with Allan McGregor, Michael Dawson, Seb Larsson, Jon Toral and Nouha Dicko among those being considered for a rest.
David Marshall has been told he will start his first game this season in goal and there should also be chances handed to Max Clark and fit-again Evandro.
Fraizer Campbell, who missed the bulk of the festive programme with a knee injury, could start as he aims to sharpen up lost fitness but Adama Diomande looks the more likely option to lead City's attack.
City's long injury list ensures Adkins does not have the depth to make wholesale changes. Kamil Grosicki (ankle) and Stephen Kingsley (groin) are close to comebacks, while Ondrej Mazuch is eyeing the Reading game next week.
Will Keane (knee), Abel Hernandez (Achilles), Ryan Mason (fractured skull), Moses Odubajo (knee) and James Weir (knee) all remain some way off fitness.
Subs: McGregor, Dawson, Aina, Stewart, Batty, Campbell, Dicko.
David Meyler and Corry Evans were midfield team-mates when Hull City won promotion out of the Championship under Steve Bruce five years ago but today they could be opponents vying for a place in the FA Cup fourth round.
Meyler's involvement is not guaranteed after four weeks out injured.
The long-serving vice captain has returned to training this week and Nigel Adkins was considering handing out a chance to impress. Keen to stop his former club in its tracks will be Evans, who left the KCOM Stadium in August 2013 when joining Blackburn Rovers in a £500,000 deal.
The Northern Ireland international has played over 100 games for the Ewood Park outfit.
He will be keen to add another promotion to his CV by helping Blackburn make an immediate return to the Championship this season.
Blackburn sunk to their knees at the end of last season when becoming a third-tier club for the first time since 1980 but there is a very real hope that League One will be home for just one season. Rovers are third, five points adrift of the automatic promotion places, and are unbeaten since October 14.
That 18-game sequence has included more draws than manager Tony Mowbray might have liked but there is no doubt this season is headed in the right direction. No visitor to Ewood Park has emerged with three points since the middle of September and only once in the last 18 games have they failed to score.
The goals are flowing freely, with 28 netted in the last 12 games. Promotion back to the Championship is the obvious aim for Blackburn this season but an FA Cup run would help to put a smile back on faces. They've overcome Barnet and Crewe in the first two rounds to set up this date with Hull City.
Blackburn might be the League One club hosting Championship opposition but the bookmakers believe a Hull City win would be the greater upset. Rovers are generally priced up at 6/5 with most firms to knock the Tigers out at Ewood Park, with Nigel Adkins' men available at 5/2 (Betvictor) to book their place in the fourth round. A replay is also 5/2 with a number of firms.
David Marshall is back in goal for the Tigers and if you believe he can finally claim his first clean sheet in his 19th start for City then it's 3/1 with William Hill. There will be interest in the first goal markets.
Adama Diomande is 15/2 to open the scoring, with former City striker Danny Graham, who could well be rested, available at 11/2.
Evandro, who netted his only goal for the Tigers in the FA Cup defeat at Fulham last January, is available at 12/1 with Unibet.
Skybet are offering the remarkable odds of 500/1 for City to lift the FA Cup in May.

SANTA FE, N.M.- A former Catholic priest who was accused of sexually abusing an alter boy has been found guilty on all seven federal child abuse charges.
He faced six counts on aggravated sexual assault and one count was on criminal sexual contact of a minor.
The jurors began deliberating in the trial for Athur Perrault Wednesday morning and returned the verdict by 1 p.m.
Prosecutors in closing arguments described Perrault as a "serial molester," while his defense questioned whether the case was built on "false memories."
Once the pastor of one of New Mexico's largest Catholic parishes, Perrault vanished from the state in 1992 as an attorney prepared to file two lawsuits against the Archdiocese of Santa Fe alleging he had sexually assaulted seven children.

Rachel Stevens, Kayla Jones: 5-Year-Old Says Mom And Her Lover Kicked Him In Groin, Beat, Duct-Taped Him
Jonathan Vankin
A 28-year-old mom, Rachel Stevens, and her live-in lover Kayla Jones, are in custody this week, charged with such horrific and prolonged torture of Stevens' five-year-old son that the little boy suffered two strokes — and according to what the child told investigators, Jones, who the boy identified only as "L.G." called his "stepmother," kicked her girlfriend's son in the groin so hard that she caused bleeding in the area.
According to the charges brought by police in Muskogee, Oklahoma, the mom and her 25-year-old girlfriend are accused of "willfully/maliciously abusing L.G., who was 5 years old at the time, resulting in broken bones, bleeding of the brain, lesions on his head and neck, various scabs and bruises about his body."
Stevens (above left) and Jones (above right) had reportedly been in a romantic relationship for about 18 months, according to a report by KOTV News. No information about the father of L.G. was made available and he is said to be uninvolved with the child.

— News On 6 (@NewsOn6) January 12, 2016
Police first became aware of the case on December 8, when Stevens brought her son to a local medical clinic due to lesions on his face and apparent seizures that he had suffered.
But doctors at the clinic quickly realized the seriousness of the boy's problems and transferred him to St. John Medical Center in Tulsa, Oklahoma. The severity of the abuse the child endured, sadly, was so great that even that Tulsa facility felt inadequate to treat him and he was quickly sent by emergency airlift to Oklahoma University Medical Center in Oklahoma City.
It was while he was being treated by emergency doctors at the OU hospital that the five-year-old suffered not one but two strokes, according to a police affidavit cited by the Tulsa World newspaper.
"Through forensic interviews, it was determined that the victim had been tied up, duct tape over his eyes and had been locked in a room," the affidavit stated.
"The victim also disclosed that both suspects [i.e. Rachel Stevens and Kayla Jones] had hit him on the hand, head and butt with a belt. It was also disclosed that the mother hit the victim on the hand with a hammer. The victim disclosed that the stepmother kicked him in the groin so hard that it made him bleed," the notarized affidavit read.
The entire affidavit is viewable in the graphic below. Stevens and Jones were finally arrested on Tuesday of this week, a month after Stevens' son was hospitalized.

The following video news report contains further details regarding the arrest of Rachel Stevens and Kayla Jones.
In addition to allegedly causing the boy's horrifying and sickening injuries, the two women, according to KOTV News, had created a GoFundMe page to raise money purportedly to help with the boy's medical care, claiming on the page that the five-year-old caused his own injuries by falling and by picking at his face.
They portrayed themselves as dedicated parents on the page, even sleeping in their car during the child's hospital stay, because the hospital could not spare them a bed, they claimed.
But police said that their claim of the boy inflicting his injuries on himself simply didn't match up with the evidence.
Two other children, ages five and seven, also lived with Stevens and Jones, but their relationship to one or both of the women was not made clear. Police were able to learn more about the abuse of Stevens' son by interviewing the other two children, who did not appear to have suffered any abuse, according to a report in the Muskogee Phoenix newspaper.
Tests and X-rays at the OU hospital revealed that the boy had numerous broken bones, many of which were still healing. Before taking him to the local clinic on December 8, the boy suffered repeated seizures, but his mother did not bother to take him to a doctor. When police discovered that apparent neglect, they began their investigation of Rachel Stevens and Kayla Jones.

The Sprint is one of the five Scrum events. In my Professional Scrum Courses, this is the event that people often forget about because it is a container event, not necessarily something you distinctly schedule on the calendar.
Specify only the absolute "must dos" and "must not dos" for achieving a purpose. Ideal for creating a Definition of Done, a Minimal Viable Product or a Team Manifest.
It's been a year since I joined the Scrum.org Professional Scrum Trainers Community. 2018 marks my fifth year in teaching Scrum. Allow me to reflect on this journey.
In August 2015, Ken Schwaber and Scrum.org introduced the Nexus framework to the public via the Nexus Guide, the definitive guide to scaling Scrum. Today, on January 17, 2018, we release the first update to the Nexus Guide.
Yes I can Continously Deliver with Scrum!
During some Scrum training classes, I have been asked, can teams practice Continuous Delivery (CD) , using the Scrum Framework? The answer is a resounding yes! Let's explore why some believe that Scrum only allows you to release at the most, every Sprint against what the Scrum Guide says.
Diversity boosts innovation in companies in times, when the rate of outside change is high. Diversity of people across culture, gender, religion, physical ability, ethnicity and other individual differences have to offer value for the group. Diversity in teams can generate greater idea flow and help making faster and better decisions.
In this article we'll bust the myth that in Scrum too much time is spend in meetings. We'll not only describe how time-consuming the Scrum events factually are, but also clarify the purpose and importance. After explaining the origins of this myth, we'll offer some practical tips to prevent or resolve the symptoms.
The intention of this blog post is to test the content of an upcoming book that I am writing on Leanpub called So You Want To Be A Hero: Soft skills at the core of Agile leadership. While I agree that Agile is eating the world, I believe we have to revisit our understanding of leadership to support Agile. To quote Denning in his article, "this kind of leadership is beyond the capabilities of the lumbering industrial giants of the 20th Century."
Everyone building software products today aspire to be able to seamlessly update the production software in a continuous manner. To be able to deploy code without the 'normal' friction of process controls, reviews, test departments and committee meetings.
Most Scrum Teams that I encounter don't do refinement of their Product Backlog and try to work on things that they don't understand correctly. However, if you get to the Sprint Planning Event and your backlog is not ready, then you are doing it wrong.
In my last post about Professional software teams creating working software David Corban made a good point. How do you determine what "Free from fault or defect" means?
Everyday I wake up and wonder, "Where am I"? Where am I going?
Do you know any coaching patterns?
Do you ever influence or coach people? How? Do you use a gut feel approach or do you have coaching patterns that you use? I have several coaching patterns that I step through when trying to influence people.
In this article we'll bust one of the more radical myths in Scrum; the belief that plans and planning have no place in Scrum.
Many Scrum Teams use User Stories as a technique for creating their Product Backlog Items (PBIs). But when the teams bring big stories to the Sprint, this causes lots of problems.
In this post, we'll explain the Liberating Structure "Troika Consulting" and how we apply this facilitation technique within our Scrum training and coaching engagements.
Flashback to 1995, Jeff and Ken had presented their paper at OOPSLA on Scrum. People recognizes it as one of the new ways of working. Fast forward to Feb 2001, no ski resort gathering and no Agile manifesto.
Yes, you read it right, it was really challenging for me, and may be other PSTs have the same or different experience. A couple of times I thought about quitting it but because of some or the other reasons I continued.
There is a frustrating misunderstanding of reality when one thinks that the Product Owner can reject a single story at the Sprint Review.
People in the Agile community must have heard or have came across this white paper multiple times.
Do you think people need to be forged into a T-shape? Think again. Focus on the aspects preventing people from employing their intrinsic T-potential.
In this blog post we'll bust the myth that "The Scrum Master is a junior Agile Coach". Effective change is driven from "the inside-out". The Scrum Master - being part of the Scrum Team - is in a better position to facilitate this change than an (external) Agile Coach.
There is a better way than staggered iterations for delivery that will keep you on the path to agility. Staggered iterations lead to more technical debt and lower quality software.
If you are not doing Test First then you are doing it wrong!
Many teams are struggling with delivering modern software because they are not building with Test First Principals.
Use "Shift & Share and Caravan" as facilitation pattern in Scrum for Sprint Reviews, brainstorms and involving stakeholders. Spread novel ideas across groups of any size with "Shift & Share" and rapidly receive feedback with "Caravan".
What is a "Proxy" Product Owner? Why it is found so often?
In this post I will review what's a Proxy Product Owner, why you can find so often this role in organizations embracing Scrum, and some proposals to avoid this role and achieve a true Product Owner.
As a Product Owner, you are responsible for Product Backlog management, stakeholder management and forecasting. Therefore, you will probably use a variety of tools and techniques to track progress, manage expectations and keep people informed.
And after reading Jeff Gothelf's and Josh Seiden's book "Sense and Respond: How Successful Organizations Listen to Customers and Create New Products Continuously", I realized that the world is full of complex problems. This got me thinking about the relationship between Scrum and modern organizations as they pivot toward becoming able to 'sense and respond'. So, I decided to ask Jeff Gothelf… Here is a condensed version of our conversation.
Today we bust the myth that it is the responsibility of the Scrum Master to resolve all problems that are hindering the Development Team.
Appreciative Interviews (AI) is a Liberating Structure that helps identify enablers for success in less than one hour. By starting from what goes well - instead of what doesn't. In this post we'll share examples of how we've applied this structures within our Scrum training and coaching engagements.
As a Product Owner, you are responsible for stakeholder management. It's important that you know your stakeholders, their interests, what they need from you and your Product and how they may be able to help you out as well!
Value comes in many different forms, value is context dependent and the definition of value in a certain context may change over time! What? Yes, that's right! What 'value' is, or what it means, is firstly context dependent.
The Product vision describes the purpose of a Product, the intention with which the Product is being created and what it aims to achieve for customers and users. The Product vision describes a future state of the Product and what problems it tries to resolve or what ambitions it tries to fulfill.
What's Driving Your Need For Agility?
I have created a little exercise that I like to use to help focus the on things we can change, or at least situations to seek out or avoid, to help focus change efforts. The essence of it is summarized in a picture. I call this the agile affinity model, and the dimensions the key drivers of empiricism.
In this post, we'll bust the myth that the Product Owner is a proxy for stakeholders. The bottom-line is that Scrum Teams become significantly less Agile when only the Product Owner communicates with stakeholders. Instead of framing the Product Owner as a proxy, we instead prefer to explain the Product Owner as the person responsible for including stakeholders in the conversation.
The Product Owner role is totally different from traditional roles that are know in most organizations. Some people think that the Product Owner is a kind of 'Agile project manager' or that the Product Owner is sort of a 'business analyst'. This is not true!
There is no need to choose between Scrum and Kanban, but certain myths have led some to believe this is the case. It's time to debunk them once and for all.


I enjoy being an AIE artist working with students both young and old. My approach to photography in a classroom setting is to introduce students to the fascinating and powerful work of photography. By being exposed to photography as an art form, they can learn to express themselves in a positive way. The possibilities of digital photography are unlimited, but in my past residencies I have also delved into the science and history behind the camera, constructing a camera obscura and using light reactive fabric panels to make photos. These programs were very well received and had many positive outcomes in addition to the obvious learning about photography. I promote visual literacy through the use of digital cameras. Students are taught the correct usage of the cameras, and are then allowed to explore and express themselves through photography. The digital camera is a very practical, hands on instrument that helps make children more aware of their image saturated world. I align my photography goals with those of the classroom common core standards. Students are learning the concepts of vertical and horizontal orientation, contrast using black and white or colors, image selection, and manipulation of a selected photograph, size and proportion. Students are also using their writing skills to write stories or simple sentences that tell about their photographs. Journals are created as a final project to share with their parents. There are massive learning opportunities with the discipline of photography.
My love for photography began in my early childhood with memories of the black and white images taken by my father. I learned the most about photography from my journey through life. I found that photography awakened the artist within me. I think of my camera as my brush and my film as my canvas. I love my film camera, black and white film, and working in the dark room, as well as working with digital media. I enjoy sharing what I have learned through the past 25 years of experience. The digital age has led to many rapid changes in the media of photography. I-pads, cell phones, and digital cameras are the new tools of the trade. These changes keep the art form new and fresh. I am currently the Photographer in Residence at the South Arkansas Arts Center in El Dorado where I teach photography classes through the AIE program and document events for news releases, publicity brochures, the web page, and archives.


Wondering how your medicine may affect you and your baby? The U.S Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has updated its rules about pregnancy and lactation labeling of prescription medication. The new format is intended to provide the most useful information for you and your healthcare provider. Because pregnancy can affect various health problems and chronic conditions, this information helps ensure your health and your baby's.
New labels will also include information about how to join a pregnancy exposure registry, if there is one for the drug. Registries study the effects of medications used by pregnant women. It will take several years for companies to revise the labeling for prescription medications, but new labels will inform you and your healthcare provider so you can choose the best medication to take.

Engage Healthcare Communications, LLC. v. Intellisphere, LLC.
ENGAGE HEALTHCARE COMMUNICATIONS, LLC; GREEN HILL HEALTHCARE COMMUNICATIONS, LLC; and CENTER OF EXCELLENCE MEDIA, LLC, Plaintiffs,
INTELLISPHERE, LLC, MICHAEL J. HENNESSY & ASSOCIATES, INC., ARC MESA EDUCATORS, LLC, MICHAEL J. HENNESSY, JOHN DOES 1 TO 5; JANE DOES 1 TO 5, Defendants.
Hon. Freda L. Wolfson United States District Judge
Pending before the Court is a motion by Defendants Intellisphere, LLC, Michael J. Hennessy & Associates, Inc., Arc Mesa Educators, LLC, and Michael J. Hennessy, individually (collectively, "Defendants") for an order declaring this case exceptional under 15 U.S.C. § 1117(a) such that, for a defined period of time, reasonable attorneys' fees and costs be awarded. Defendants seek costs and fees after prevailing on their summary judgment motion against Plaintiffs Engage Healthcare Communications, LLC, Green Hill Healthcare Communications, LLC, and Center of Excellence Media, LLC (collectively, "Plaintiffs"). The First Amended Complaint ("FAC") alleged that Defendants infringed on 16 of Plaintiffs' trademarks. For the reasons that follow, Defendants' motion is denied.
I. FACTUAL BACKGROUND AND PROCEDURAL HISTORY
The present matter, a long-running and contentious dispute between two medical publishing companies controlled by competing members of the same family, stems from Defendants' purported infringement of 16 trademarks that Plaintiffs use as titles for medical-related magazines, seminars, and continuing education courses. Summ. J. Op. at 3, November 29, 2018, ECF No. 300.[1]
The dispute began on December 7, 2011, when Plaintiffs, through their counsel, sent a cease-and-desist letter to Intellisphere and MJH & Associates regarding several of Defendants' marks. Id. at 11. In response, Intellisphere filed a cancellation proceeding before the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board of the Patent and Trademark Office ("PTO"), seeking the cancellation of Plaintiffs' registration for the mark VALUE-BASED CANCER CARE. Id. On February 9, 2012, Plaintiffs filed a Complaint against Defendants, alleging, inter alia, trademark infringement and unfair competition, and amended their complaint shortly thereafter. ECF No. 1, 10. The FAC asserted the following causes of action: (1) trademark infringement under 15 U.S.C. § 1125(a); (2) trademark infringement - unfair competition under 15 U.S.C. § 1125(a); (3) false designation of origin under 15 U.S.C. § 1125(a); (4) declaratory judgment under 28 U.S.C. §2201, et seq; (5) an unfair competition claim under N.J.S.A. 56:4-1l; (6) a New Jersey common law unfair competition claim; 7) false advertising under 15 U.S.C. § 1125; and (8) tortious interference with prospective contractual relationships. On April 20, 2012, Defendants filed their first Counterclaim and Third-Party Complaint, asserting the same causes of action that were asserted in the FAC. ECF No. 12.
The case proceeded through discovery, but the parties reportedly reached a settlement on December 3, 2013, and the Court administratively terminated the matter. ECF No. 69. However, there was a dispute over the scope of the settlement terms, and for almost all of 2014, this matter was the subject of a number of failed mediation attempts. On March 15, 2015, the case was reopened and assigned to this Court. ECF No. 118. Various motions to dismiss and motions to enforce the settlement were filed shortly thereafter, including a June 19, 2015 motion by Defendants to dismiss Counts One through Four of the FAC for failure to state a cause of action. ECF No. 135. On November 24, 2015, Defendants filed another motion to amend their counterclaims to assert prior usage and superiority of their trademarks. ECF No. 154.
In December 2015, Defendants changed counsel to their present counsel, Day Pitney. In a letter withdrawing their motion to amend, Defendants' counsel wrote:
[W]e have evaluated the pleadings in this matter, including the pending Motions. We believe the pending Motion to Amend is deficient and cannot proceed as currently filed. By withdrawing the Motion, we will seek to correct these deficiencies and refile the Motion a later date, which will streamline several issues related to the claims and parties in this case.
ECF No. 164 at 1. Defendants' counsel also informed the Court that Defendant would not be filing a motion to dismiss, which had been discussed at a previous Court conference Id. Instead, in May 2016, Defendants filed a Second Amended Answer and Counterclaim, reducing the claims asserted from eleven to three and withdrawing the pending Third-Party Complaint. ECF No. 195. According to Defendants, the purpose of this "streamlining" was to "focus[ ] the attention on a threshold and dispositive issue: secondary meaning." ECF No. 173-1 at 5.
On August 11, 2016, the Magistrate Judge appointed a Special Master to handle discovery disputes. ECF No. 205. Discovery was indeed contentious, and, over the course of the case, the Special Master issued, by this Court's count, eighteen orders and eight reports and recommendations. These disputes included:
• Plaintiffs' motion to enforce a subpoena served on Shannon Hennessy Pulaski, co-counsel of record for Defendants and the daughter of Michael J. Hennessy, which the Magistrate Judge rejected. Hr'g Tr. 26:13-27:7, May 12, 2016, ECF No. 199.
• What Defendants contend were "large document dumps" involving 210 Gigabytes of ESI consisting of approximately 200, 000 documents. Id. at 29:17-31:7.
• Disputes about Plaintiffs' interrogatory responses, which Defendants contend Plaintiffs unreasonably delayed and, once provided, consisted of boilerplate explanations of why their marks were arbitrary or suggestive. Declaration of Michael L. Fialkoff, dated January 4, 2018 ("Fialkoff Decl."), Ex. B (Plaintiffs' Interrogatory Responses) at 10.
• Plaintiffs' failure to produce a Rule 30(b)(6) corporate representative who could testify on the issue of when the marks had attained ...


Telugu superstar Prabhas who is always in the limelight especially after Baahubali has faced numerous questions on his wedding and alleged relationship with his co-actor Anushka Shetty.
Once again, the news of Prabhas' marriage with Anushka Shetty is spreading like a wild-fire. However, like every time, this time too he has rubbished it as just a gossip.
Recently during an interview with a leading national newspaper he was asked to talk about his impending and long-delayed wedding, Prabhas said, "It is my personal matter. I don't want to comment or reveal anything now."
Prabhas also said that he would reveal the news only when he is comfortable and when he gets engaged.
On the other hand, Anushka said in an interview that, Prabhas and she are just friends. She said, "We are very good friends. But we aren't getting married. I am in no hurry to settle down."
38-year-old Baahubali famed Prabhas is one of the most eligible bachelors in India.

The Next Horizon
Chris Bonington, the legendary British Mountaineer, is a master story teller when it comes to telling a real story. In The Next Horizon Bonington writes about his climbs from 1962 to 1972.
Seek your horizons
Each story is interwoven with his mountaineering life and the non-climbing life thus making the book all the more readable. It is a phase of his life where he not only develops as a climber and as an able expedition leader but also when he left the so called secure jobs and lived off mountaineering first as a photographer then as a photographer and journalist.
The books starts with the exploits on the Paine in Chile when he had recently married Wendy and after his return from Chile takes us to the beautiful Lake District in search of a home for them where they had their first son, whom they unfortunately lost after just a few years when he drowned in a stream. Then follows a period of his alpine climbs, several of them as first ascents.
The photo-journalistic assignments take him not only to the mountains but also to the active volcano of Sangay in Ecuador and to the remote Eskimos of Canada and to the Blue Nile where after escaping narrowly after the rafts were overturned by the rapids they also had to face gunfire attacks of the bandits.
The jubilation at the successful first ascent of the South face of Annapurna under his leadership when Don Whillans and Dougal Haston became the first ones to climb is dampened by the death of Ian Clough who is swamped by an avalanche at the fag end of the expedition. The book concludes at a stage when he is preparing to go for the climb of the South-West Face on the Everest Expedition. The quest for the next horizon continues.
There are several top notch climbers who have survived the climbing years but there is none who is equally a great story writer like Chris Bonington.

This Thanksgiving 2011 Know EXACTLY How to Eat, Be Healthy, AND Maintain a Healthy Weight!!
Have Healthy Weight Loss Over The Holidays Instead of Gaining the Mass of an Entire Turkey This Thanksgiving Day!!
Healthy families, or EVEN BETTER- families aiming to be healthy, need to be looking into 1.) what to eat and 2.) how to be healthy over the holidays. Everyone talks about "HOLIDAY WEIGHT" as if it is a given… As if the Turkey Fairy [oh my… that would be an awesome job], Pie-Godmother, and any other sort of festive-food-elf came over every American and sprinkled Holiday-Weight-Dust in our eyes every single year… As if we have no control over the matter!! Well, I will retract all of my previous and future statements if I ever come across a Pie-Gotmother… But until then, matters are FORTUNATELY in your own hands!!
When it comes to "what to eat" that REALLY is up to you… There is just the matter of what goals do you have in mind.
If you want to gain wait… Take on the "Average American" plate. This is where the majority of your meal is junk to your body and since it is not in moderation, it will increasingly move towards your goal of gaining weight!!
If you want to experience healthy weight loss… Take on the "Healthy Lifestyle" plate. This plate will increasingly help you reach your goal of getting fit in a VERY HEALTHY mannor- no tricks, no gimmicks, just pure motivation & results! The secret to healthy living is 60% nutrition and 40% fitness. So really, this is the easy way out!! Instead of sweating bults, you just eat more veggies than anything else and you are set! However, the balance is very important- so make sure you have your lean protein and legumes/grains for fiber!
If you want to have a healthy and balanced Thanksgiving 2011 Meal… Take on "YOUR Thanksgiving" plate! This plate leaves a WIDE variety of choices for foods to fill each of those slots… This way you can have your sweet potato pie and eat it too!!… just keep in mind that the percentage should fit the diagram here, so you should balance it out with your mama's yummy cheesy cauliflower, green-bean casserole, and turkey!
Joey's "Thanksgiving Pants"… Believe Me- You Don't Want This To Be You!!
Although hopefully it is a friend or someone because it is down right HILARIOUS!!!!

BioM: Volovsek, Ann M. (1948)
Email: stan@wiclarkcountyhistory.org
Surnames: SLADICH VOLOVSEK STAUT BLATNIK
----Sources: Marshfield News Herald (Marshfield, Wis.) 08/??/1948
Volovsek, Ann M. (31 JUL 1948)
A gown of Chantilly lace was worn by Miss Ann Marie Volovsek, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Volovsek Sr., Willard (Clark Co., Wis.), for her marriage to Frank Russell Sladich, son of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Sladich, Greenwood, on Saturday, July 31, 1948.
The bridal gown was fashioned with a fitted bodice buttoned down the back, a sweetheart neckline, and a full marquisette skirt that extended into a long train. She wore mitts pointed at the wrists and a full length veil edged in lace, which fell from a lace tiara. Her flowers were a cascade of white carnations and roses centered with an orchid. She carried a pearl bound prayer book and a rosary.
Holy Family Catholic Church in Willard was the scene of the ceremony and the Rev. Odila Hajnsek celebrated the Nuptial High Mass.
The bride's sister, Mrs. Mary Staut, Willard, was matron of honor in a yellow marquisette gown styled with a sheer neckline and a ruffle bordering the skirt. A matching sweetheart bonnet completed her attire and she carried a cascade bouquet of white roses.
The bridal aides wore gowns similarly designed. Miss Betty Volovsek, Willard, another sister of the bride, was in orchid and carried a cascade bouquet of yellow carnations; Misses Frances and Josephine Blatnik, Fayette City, Pa., nieces of the groom, were in blue and yellow, respectively, and their flowers were cascades of pink carnations.
Two nieces of the bride, Judy and Barbara Volovsek, as flower girls, preceded the bridal party. They wore yellow rayon gowns with white marquisette overskirts and peplums and matching sweetheart bonnets. They carried bouquets of pink carnations. Another niece of the bride, Mary Anne Staut, acted as a miniature bride, dressed in white sharkskin and carrying pink carnations.
The bridegroom was attended by his brother, Alvin Lawrence Sladich, Donora, Pa. Eddie Volovsek, a nephew of the bride, was ring bearer. Two brothers of the bride, Al and John Volovsek, ushered.
After the ceremony breakfast was served at the home of the bride's parents and at 5 o'clock a reception was held there for 250 guests. A wedding dance was given at the West Side Hall in Willard.
Mr. Sladich is a graduate of the Greenwood High School and a veteran of five years' service in the Army Air Force. He is employed at the Electro Motive Division of G.M.C., Chicago. The couple will make their home in Chicago after a short honeymoon in northern Wisconsin.

Q: Any hyperelliptic curve is never a complete intersection. Show that any hyperelliptic curve is never a complete intersection. As any curve of genus greater than 1 is either hyperelliptic or canonical, I think  we can equivalently show that any curve of genus greater than 1 which is a complete intersection must be canonical. Any ideas?

A: Suppose that the curve $C$ has genus $g> 1$ and it is a complete intersection of hypersurfaces $X_1,\dots ,X_{n-1}$ in $\mathbb{P}^n$. We will calculate the canonical sheaf by induction. By adjunction formula, $$\omega_{X_1}=\omega_{\mathbb{P}^n}\otimes O_{X_1}(\deg X_1)=O_{\mathbb{P}^n}(-n-1)\otimes O_{X_1}(\deg X_1)=O_{X_1}(\deg X_1-n-1)$$ Also $$\omega_{X_1\cap X_2}=\omega_{X_1}\otimes O_{X_1\cap X_2}(\deg X_2)=O_{X_1\cap X_2}(\deg X_1+\deg X_2-n-1)$$ Proceednig like that we get $$\omega_C=O_C(\deg X_1+\dots+\deg X_{n-1}-n-1)$$ Since $\deg \omega_C=2g-2>0$ the expression $\deg X_1+\dots+\deg X_{n-1}-n-1$ must be positive so the canonical sheaf is very ample and $C$ cannot be hyperelliptic.

A: As suggested in the question, it suffices to show that, if $C$ is a complete intersection of genus greater than 1, then $K_C$ is very ample. Let $i_C: C\hookrightarrow\mathbb{P}^n$ be the complete intersection of hypersurfaces of degrees $d_1, \cdots, d_{n-1}$. First off,
Claim: For any $P, Q\in C$, $h^0(C, L(P+Q))=1$.
Proof: Equivalently, it suffices to show that the linear system $L(P+Q)$ consists of constant functions only. Suppose on the contrary that $f\in L(P+Q)$ is not a constant rational function. Write $\displaystyle f=\frac{i_C^*g}{i_C^*h}$, $g, h\in\Gamma\mathcal{O}_{\mathbb{P}^n}(m)$ for some $m\geq 1$. The possible zeros of $i_C^*h$ are $P$ or $Q$ or both of them. Let $S$ be a degree $m$ hypersurface defined by $h$. Then $S\cap C=\{P\}, \{Q\}$, or $\{P, Q\}$ and thus by Bezout theorem, $|S\cap C|=md_1\cdots d_{n-1}=1$ or $2$. If $|S\cap C|=1$ then $d_1=\cdots=d_{n-1}$ and $C\cong\mathbb{P}^1$, which is of genus 0. If $|S\cap C|=2$ either $m=2$ and $d_1=\cdots=d_{n-1}$, in which case $g(C)=0$, or one of $d_i=2$ and $d_j=1$ for $j\neq i$, in which case $C$ is isomorphic to a conic (i.e. $\mathbb{P}^1$), which again has genus 0. So we have contradiction.
By Riemann-Roch,
\begin{align*}
&h^0(C, L(P+Q))-h^0(C, K_C\otimes L(-P-Q))=3-g(C)\\
\Longrightarrow &h^0(C, K_C\otimes L(-P-Q))=g(C)-2=h^0(C, K_C)-2
\end{align*}
The last line is exactly equivalent to $K_C$ being very ample.
