Who We AreFor more than 60 years, we have focused on quality service and built strong leadership teams through our relationships with clients and individuals worldwide. Today, Heidrick & Struggles leadership experts operate from principal business centers in North America, Latin America, Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Asia Pacific.
Our beginning
In 1953, Gardner Heidrick and John Struggles sent a printed card to businesses in the Midwest announcing the organization of Heidrick & Struggles in Chicago, Illinois.
This announcement heralded the beginning of one of the first executive search firms in the United States, a firm that would grow to have global representation and presence in every major industry.
A global force
By 1957, the firm signed its first clients outside of the Midwest and soon expanded its US office locations coast to coast, into Los Angeles and San Francisco, and east into New York. In 1968 Heidrick & Struggles established its first international presence with an office in the United Kingdom.
The firm continued its expansion during the subsequent decades into the principal cities of North America and Europe and, later, in Asia Pacific and Latin America. Along with this growth came the development of specialized industry and functional practices to allow for intense focus and expertise.
Executive search became accepted by companies all over the world and our assignments were increasingly global in nature. As new kinds of businesses arose, changing the needs of markets and clients, Heidrick & Struggles evolved its geographic structure and practice categories to reflect the new environment.
In 1983, Heidrick & Struggles International was established as a separate entity, encompassing all European operations. The two corporations reunited in 1999 to form the integrated global firm of today. That same year, Heidrick & Struggles International, Inc. (HSII) became a publicly traded company on the NASDAQ stock market.
In recent years, Heidrick & Struggles has developed services to complement the core executive search business and to serve the broader leadership needs of clients.

Portland Harbor Superfund Charge
Due to sediment contamination, the EPA designated the Lower Willamette River between the Fremont Bridge and Sauvie Island as the Portland Harbor Superfund site in December 2000. The City of Portland owns over 20 stormwater or combined sewer outfall pipes that drain into Portland Harbor. The City is a potentially responsible party because of the potential of the City's stormwater system to carry contamination from upland areas to the river. The EPA ordered this investigation to identify the cause, extent and nature of Portland Harbor contamination and to evaluate health risks to humans, fish and wildlife.
The Superfund charge is not a new charge. In July 2007, the City added a Portland Harbor Superfund Program line item to the City water and sewer bill to show ratepayers exactly what portion of their sewer bills pay for the Portland Harbor investigation. City of Portland sewer rates have paid the City's share of this investigation since 2001.
The charge is based on both impervious area (I/A) and sewer volume (measured in one hundred cubic feet, or CCF). The current rate for the Superfund charge is $0.12 per each CCF of billed sewer volume and $0.32 per each thousand square feet of I/A (Impervious Area) per month. The $0.12 is based on either the actual measured water volume or on the winter average, whichever is less.
More information about the Portland Harbor cleanup is available from the The Bureau of Environmental Services.

Clear and Cool with a High Chance of Driving Enjoyment – Sep 19, 2013– Detroit, USA (Techreleased) – The techniques meteorologists use to create weather reports also help ensure optimal performance from Cadillac's new Twin-Turbo V-6 engine.
The power-dense engine, available on the 2014 CTS Vsport midsize luxury sedan and XTS Vsport full-size luxury sedan in the U.S. this fall, is equipped with a set of sensors that monitor air pressure, intake humidity and throttle intake temperature. The sensors act as an "onboard weather station" to continuously send data to the engine's wastegate and compressor bypass control system to make the most of engine efficiency.
"Just as a meteorologist uses high-tech sensors to detect barometric pressure, humidity, air flow and temperature, our system can detect these conditions and modify engine performance and efficiency accordingly," said Richard Bartlett, assistant chief engineer of General Motors' twin-turbo engine. "In the same way the tools for meteorology have become more precise over the years, so have the technologies for monitoring engine operation."
One of the conditions monitored by the Twin-Turbo V-6's sensor set is compressor surge, an air flow phenomena leading to flow reversal that can limit power output and increase unwanted noise. To reduce surge, the system sensors continually measure air pressure in the compressor, and optimize the wastegate position to produce maximum power and eliminate unwanted noise. The wastegate regulates the pressure at which exhaust gases pass to the turbine by opening or closing a vent to the exterior.
"Co-surge" is another phenomenon unique to twin-turbo engines that results when an air flow imbalance exists between competing compressors, leading one compressor to surge. Co-surge is most common in high altitudes, where low barometric pressure can more adversely affect vehicle performance.
Compressor air flow sensors allow the Twin-Turbo V-6 to correct air imbalances by repositioning a pair of vacuum-actuated wastegates on each turbocharger. This process allows the exhaust to bypass the turbocharger's turbine wheel and merge into the exhaust stream, allowing for the ideal turbine speed throughout the rpm band.
During spirited driving, compressed air temperature can exceed 265 degrees Fahrenheit. Cadillac's onboard weather station detects temperature conditions and a unique charge air cooling system reduces the temperature by more than 130 degrees, increasing the air density to provide maximum power and performance.
Likewise, the Twin-Turbo V-6's humidity sensor monitors moisture in the air to modify combustion spark and cam timing to make the most of engine efficiency and performance whether driving in often-wet Seattle or desert-dry Las Vegas.

Breaking New Ground
This story appears in the May 1999 issue of Entrepreneur. Subscribe »
A watershed event occurred in the world of patent law last July. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit issued an opinion in the case of State Street Bank & Trust Co. v. Signature Financial Group Inc. that put to bed such important patent questions as whether a patent can be granted for the way you do business and whether you can receive a patent for software. The answer to both questions is now yes.
Tomima Edmark, the woman famous for her Topsy Tail invention has now turned her creative talents to the competitive retail arena of intimate apparel, HerRoom and HisRoom.
Laying the Groundwork
In its dealings with patent-related cases over the years, the Supreme Court has established a record for excluding three categories from receiving patents. The first is laws of nature, such as gravity. Natural phenomena are also unpatentable. Patents aren't granted for the discovery of phenomena such as electricity or fire. However, patents can and have been awarded for ways to make electricity or fire.
The third unpatentable category is abstract ideas. A mathematical algorithm (a step-by-step problem-solving method), for example, was not patentable. Such an algorithm was considered an abstract idea because it's not substantive; it's just a theoretical concept or truth. It's this third area that's recently been challenged in court and in the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (PTO), because computers and software make extensive use of mathematical algorithms and their use of such processes has become very valuable in the business world.
In addition to these three unpatentable areas determined by the Supreme Court, the PTO has been of the opinion for many years that a fourth area of unpatentability exists: methods for doing business. In its view, business methods aren't tangible and don't fall within any category of patentable ideas. For example, one business method involves lowering prices to increase sales. If you had been the first person to do this and could have filed a patent on it, no one else would be able to lower prices to increase sales without paying you a royalty. Since there's nothing tangible about a business method--it's just a way of doing something--the PTO has historically state that business methods can't be patented.
This bias of the PTO dates back to at least 1908, according to Joel S. Goldman, an intellectual property attorney at Troutman Sanders LLP in Atlanta. In the case of Hotel Security Checking Co. v. Loran Co., the court held that the patent in dispute, which covered a bookkeeping system, was invalid because it didn't fall within a patentable category.
It wasn't until 1983 that this beachhead opinion began to crack. Brokerage firm Merrill Lynch owned a patent for a system of combining a brokerage security account, a money market fund and a charge/checking account. In a patent dispute, the courts found Merrill Lynch's system did indeed contain patentable subject matter. In fact, the court's opinion went further and gave great weight to the fact that a computer carried out the method described in the patent. This established the precedent that the use of a computer to perform a business function was indeed patentable. Thus, a mathematical algorithm and a method for doing business were, for the first time, awarded patents.
Then in 1996, Federal Circuit Court Judge Pauline Newman made a ruling that patentability should not be determined based on whether the patent can be pigeonholed into a "business method" niche. Rather, consideration should be placed on the idea's technological usefulness as well as its newness and nonobviousness.
Defining Moment
With all this background in mind, here's why the State Street Bank decision has proved to be such a landmark case. U.S. Patent No. 5,193,056, titled "Data Processing System for Hub and Spoke Financial Services Configuration," was issued to Signature Financial Group Inc. in March 1993. The patent covered a business structure wherein mutual funds (the spokes) pool their assets in an investment portfolio that's organized as a partnership (the hub). This structure allows fund administrators to monitor and record financial information, and make necessary calculations and allocations within the partner fund structure.
State Street Bank & Trust Co. wanted to use Signature's patented business procedure, but its licensing negotiations with Signature failed. Subsequently, State Street sued to declare Signature's patent invalid. In his ruling, Federal Circuit Court Judge Giles Sutherland Rich declared "anything under the sun that is made by man" to be patentable subject matter. He went on to say that the courts should not take it upon themselves to create limitations on what is and isn't patentable.
Additionally, the court also cleared up the mathematical algorithm issue. Courts are now instructed to focus on whether an algorithm is applied in a useful way and not look at algorithms as just abstract ideas.
What It All Means
Because of these rulings, business methods and mathematical formulas are now on the same footing as other types of patents, and the software industry now has a powerful new legal tool. "There are no more barriers to patenting software, and because of this, the entire industry is adopting an aggressive strategy in obtaining patent protection," says Jerry Mills, a patent attorney for Baker & Botts in Dallas.
Q. Todd Dickenson, the PTO's Acting Commissioner, has added 20 new patent examiners to the division responsible for reviewing e-commerce patents. Dickenson predicts that by the end of 1999, more than 300 business method patents could be issued.
These new types of patents will be very important and highly valuable to small and start-up companies. Businesses owning such patents will be attractive to investment capital firms looking for investment opportunities. These patents could also be useful to small companies looking to make initial public offerings.
On the other hand, this ruling should cause some concern. Although the worldwide effect of the State Street Bank ruling remains to be seen, traditionally, more patents lead to more lawsuits. Also, entrepreneurs just starting businesses may find, some time down the road, that their way of doing business has been patented by someone else. They'll then need to pay a licensing fee to the patent holder or quit the way they've been doing business.
If your way of doing business is heavily dependent on computer software or a particular business method, you'll need to evaluate your intellectual property and determine whether a patent makes sense for you. Your planning should include not only an evaluation of the valuable opportunity such a patent can bring, but also the risks involved should someone else patent your idea first.
Fast Track
Name and age: Wyatt Earp IV (yes, he's the third-generation descendant), 35
Company name and description: Burn Out Wear LTD creates high-quality apparel such as T-shirts, sweatshirts and hats bearing authentic rubber tire marks and NASCAR serial numbers used by professional motorsports teams. After ruining many shirts, smashing a mannequin's head (don't ask) and using his mother's couch cushion to test his concept, Earp designed a customized machine to produce the burn-out effect on apparel.
Based: Waterloo, New York
Founded: 1997
Start-up costs: $100,000
1998 sales: $150,000
1999 projections: $3 million
Yeah, but was it America's Funniest? Earp got the idea for his apparel in 1994 while watching a TV program in which a man shot holes in blue jeans with bird-shot, then sold them for profit. Thinking if someone could sell jeans with holes, he could sell T-shirts with burn-out marks on them, Earp laid shirts in his driveway, then drove over them trying to create the marks. Shirts flew everywhere, and some burned. He decided a special machine was necessary to create the mark.
We're not laughing: "My biggest fear was that people would think my idea was a joke," says Earp. But he's had the last laugh: "To date, not one person has made a negative comment. Everyone I've shown it to says, `Cool.' "
From the driver's seat: "You find out very quickly that you're the only one who really cares about your vision," says Earp. "Go with what you think, and don't listen to others' suggestions."

Lighting that stimulates sales
- Year: 2016
- Location: Tuuri
- Design: Kokema Design Oy
Nahkapaikka Oy is a family owned company, founded in 1976, which offers shoes, bags, gloves, belts and wallets. Their shop in the shopping village Tuuri, in Central Finland is one of the largest shops of its kind in Scandinavia.
Nahkapaikka started the planning of the extension in the summer 2014 together with Kokema Design Oy. Kokema Design is a Helsinki based design agency, which focuses on interior and spatial design.
The plan was to build an 800 m² new space to the shop. After the extension project the total floor area of the shop grew to up to 2000 m². At the same time both the interior and lighting were renovated completely. Wood, metal and acryl were combined in furnishing and interior design and special attention was put to the furniture´s functionality, design and colour.
The client was looking for an energy efficient, stylish and functional lighting solution, which could complete the new interior of the shop, emphasize the company brand and highlight the products at the most attractive way.
LEDs and modern control systems were a natural choice to this shop. Kokema Design Oy created the main idea of the lighting, and Fagerhult chose the products and produced a functional, comfortable and attractive lighting solution together with the customer.
General lighting
General lighting was implemented with black, suspended Notor LED luminaires with opal diffusers. Notor's minimalistic style and clean design with unbroken line of light creates a visually enjoyable feeling at the shop. Fagerhult delivered 780 meters of Notor lines to Nahkapaikka.
iTrack was chosen as a track system. Energy efficiency, flexibility and a stylish look, compared to basic 3-phase tracks, were the main reasons to this choice. The project contained totally 820 meters of suspended iTrack tracks and 530 pieces of black Zone Evo spotlights.
A special lighting solution was made by using different kind of colour temperatures. Notors with 4000 K create a fresh and bright general lighting at the shop. In order to highlight the warm tones of different leather products and to create contrasts and variability to the shop, 3000 K color temperature was chosen as accent lighting with Fagerhult's spotlight Zone Evo.
Smart controls
Nahkapaikka also applied a smart DALI lighting control system. Controls create a great flexibility in lighting for example by sensing the presence of customers and giving possibilities of varying the levels of illumination by dimming.
This combination of new technology and well-planned lighting solution enhance the shopping experience, guide the customers and definitely in this case also increase sales. In June Nahkapaikka achieved one of the best sales figures ever in the history of the company.

"Keeping up with the Kardashians" stars Kim, Khloe and Kourtney Kardashian are koming to the Chicago area to meet with Kardashian Kollection kustomers.
(See what I did there?)
The famous siblings are scheduled to take part in a meet-and-greet at Sears in Woodfield Mall in Schaumburg April 20 from 5-6 pm. The first 200 people in line who have made a Kardashian Kollection purchase between April 15-20 will receive an autographed photo. The Kardashian Kollection includes handbags, lingerie, swimwear, jewelry and footwear and is available only at Sears.
Kim last made a public appearance in Chicago at the Michael Hill jewelry store in Water Tower Place mall in 2010. Kourtney and Khloe appeared at Enclave nightclub in 2009.
New kid on the block: A new restaurant from the team behind Old Town Social has emerged as a go-to destination for celebrities in Chicago. And unlike most of the city's popular celeb hangouts, this place isn't located in the River North or Gold Coast neighborhoods.
Nellcôte — whose name and design were inspired by Villa Nellcôte, the 19th century mansion in southern France where The Rolling Stones recorded the album "Exile on Main Street" in 1971 — opened in the West Loop in early March and has already seen Smashing Pumpkins rocker Billy Corgan, former "American Idol" winner Lee DeWyze, Arctic Monkeys, The Head and the Heart and Wilco bassist John Stirratt walk through the door. The Pretty Reckless singer Taylor Momsen and Lady Gaga's DJ, Lady Starlight, will spin at Nellcôte Thursday and Friday, respectively.
But musicians aren't the only celebs coming to Nellcôte. "The Good Wife" star Julianna Margulies, Victoria's Secret Angel Erin Heatherton, former "Bachelorette" Ali Fedotowsky and the cast of the Dick Wolf TV pilot currently filming in the city, "Chicago Fire," including actor and Lady Gaga's boyfriend, Taylor Kinney, have also stopped by. (Captain Kirk himself, William Shatner, visited Nellcôte on a recent Friday night when the atmosphere is more bar-like. Because the 81-year-old actor was with his mother, he decided it would be best if they dined at a quieter, nearby restaurant instead.)
Of course, any trendy restaurant can draw a celebrity crowd in its first month or two. The challenge for Nellcôte is to keep them coming back, much like Hub 51 and Sunda have been doing for years.
Heads up: Bill Clinton will be the keynote speaker at the opening dinner of 12th World Summit of Nobel Peace Laureates April 23 at the Field Museum. ...

[Note: This is a version of a post that first appeared here and here. Its message is worth repeating.]
Pseudoscience is the shaky foundation of practices–often medically related–that lack a basis in evidence. It's "fake" science dressed up, sometimes quite carefully, to look like the real thing. If you're alive, you've encountered it, whether it was the guy at the mall trying to sell you Power Balance bracelets, the shampoo commercial promising you that "amino acids" will make your hair shiny, or the peddlers of " natural remedies" or fad diet plans, who in a classic expansion of a basic tenet of advertising, make you think you have a problem so they can sell you something to solve it.
Pseudosciences are usually pretty easily identified by their emphasis on confirmation over refutation, on physically impossible claims, and on terms charged with emotion or false "sciencey-ness," which is kind of like "truthiness" minus Stephen Colbert. Sometimes, what peddlers of pseudoscience say may have a kernel of real truth that makes it seem plausible. But even that kernel is typically at most a half truth, and often, it's that other half they're leaving out that makes what they're selling pointless and ineffectual. But some are just nonsense out of the gate. I'd love to have some magic cream that would melt away fat or make wrinkles disappear, but how likely is it that such a thing would be available only via late-night commercials?
What science consumers need is a cheat sheet for people of sound mind to use when considering a product, book, therapy, or remedy. Below are the top-10 questions you should always ask yourself–and answer–before shelling out the benjamins for anything, whether it's anti-aging cream, a diet fad program, books purporting to tell you secrets your doctor won't, or jewelry items containing magnets:
- What is the source? Is the person or entity making the claims someone with genuine expertise in what they're claiming? Are they hawking on behalf of someone else? Are they part of a distributed marketing scam? Do they use, for example, a Website or magazine or newspaper ad that's made to look sciencey or newsy when it's really one giant advertisement meant to make you think it's journalism?
- What is the agenda? You must know this to consider any information in context. In a scientific paper, look at the funding sources. If you're reading a non-scientific anything, remain extremely skeptical. What does the person or entity making the claim get out of it? Does it look like they're telling you you have something wrong with you that you didn't even realize existed…and then offering to sell you something to fix it? I'm reminded of the douche solution commercials of my youth in which a young woman confides in her mother that sometimes, she "just doesn't feel fresh." Suddenly, millions of women watching that commercial were mentally analyzing their level of freshness "down there" and pondering whether or not to purchase Summer's Eve.
- What kind of language does it use? Does it use emotion words or a lot of exclamation points or language that sounds highly technical (amino acids! enzymes! nucleic acids!) or jargon-y but that is really meaningless in the therapeutic or scientific sense? If you're not sure, take a term and google it, or ask a scientist if you can find one. Sometimes, an amino acid is just an amino acid. Be on the lookout for sciencey-ness. As Albert Einstein once pointed out, if you can't explain something simply, you don't understand it well. If peddlers feel that they have to toss in a bunch of jargony science terms to make you think they're the real thing, they probably don't know what they're talking about, either.
- Does it involve testimonials? If all the person or entity making the claims has to offer is testimonials without any real evidence of effectiveness or need, be very, very suspicious. Anyone–anyone–can write a testimonial and put it on a Website. Example: "I felt that I knew nothing about science until The Science Consumer blog came along! Now, my brain is packed with science facts, and I'm earning my PhD in aerospace engineering this year! If it could do it for me, The Science Consumer blog can do it for you, too! THANKS, SCIENCE CONSUMER BLOG! –xoxo, Julie C., North Carolina."
- Are there claims of exclusivity? People have been practicing science and medicine for thousands of years. Millions of people are currently doing it. Typically, new findings arise out of existing knowledge and involve the contributions of many, many people. It's quite rare–in fact, I can't think of an example–that a new therapy or intervention is something completely novel without a solid existing scientific background to explain how it works, or that only one person figures it out. It certainly wouldn't just suddenly appear one night on an infomercial. Also, watch for words like "proprietary" and "secret." These terms signal that the intervention on offer has likely not been exposed to the light of scientific critique.
- Is there mention of a conspiracy of any kind? Claims such as, "Doctors don't want you to know" or "the government has been hiding this information for years," are extremely dubious. Why wouldn't the millions of doctors in the world want you to know about something that might improve your health? Doctors aren't a monolithic entity in an enormous white coat making collective decisions about you any more than the government is some detached nonliving institution making robotic collective decisions. They're all individuals, and in general, they do want you to know.
- Does the claim involve multiple unassociated disorders? Does it involve assertions of widespread damage to many body systems (in the case of things like vaccines) or assertions of widespread therapeutic benefit to many body systems or a spectrum of unrelated disorders? Claims, for example, that a specific intervention will cure cancer, allergies, ADHD, and autism (and I am not making that up) are frankly irrational.
- Is there a money trail or a passionate belief involved? The least likely candidates to benefit fiscally from conclusions about any health issue or intervention are the researchers in the trenches working on the underpinnings of disease (genes, environmental triggers, etc.), doing the basic science. The likeliest candidates to benefit are those who (1) have something patentable on their hands; (2) market "cures" or "therapies"; (3) write books or give paid talks or "consult"; or (4) work as "consultants" who "cure." That's not to say that people who benefit fiscally from research or drug development aren't trustworthy. Should they do it for free? No. But it's always, always important to follow the money. Another issue that's arisen around pseudoscience is whether or not a bias of passionate belief is as powerful as fiscal motivation. If you have a bias detector, turn it on to full power when evaluating any scientific claim. If yours is faulty–which you might not realize because of bias–perhaps you can find someone in real life or online with a hypersensitive bias detector. Journalists, by nature of training and their work, often seem to operate theirs on full power.
- Were real scientific processes involved? Evidence-based interventions generally go through many steps of a scientific process before they come into common use. Going through these steps includes performing basic research using tests in cells and in animals, clinical research with patients/volunteers in several heavily regulated phases, peer-review at each step of the way, and a trail of published research papers. Is there evidence that the product or intervention on offer has been tested scientifically, with results published in scientific journals? Or is it just sciencey-ness espoused by people without benefit of expert review of any kind?
- Is there expertise? Finally, no matter how much you dislike "experts" or disbelieve the "establishment," the fact remains that people who have an MD or a science PhD or both after their names have gone to school for 24 years or longer, receiving an in-depth, daily, hourly education in the issues they're discussing. If they're specialists in their fields, tack on about five more years. If they're researchers in their fields, tack on more. They're not universally blind or stupid or venal or uncaring or in it for the money; in fact, many of them are exactly the opposite. If they're doing research, usually they're not Rockefellers. Note that having "PhD" or even "MD" after a name or "Dr" before it doesn't automatically mean that the degree or the honorific relates to expertise in the subject at hand. I have a PhD in biology. If I wrote a book about chemical engineering and slapped the term PhD on there, that still doesn't make me an expert in chemical engineering. And I'm just one person with one expert voice in the things I do know well. I recommend listening to more than one expert voice.
There is nothing wrong with healthy skepticism, but there is also nothing wrong in acknowledging that a little knowledge can be a very dangerous thing, that there are really people out there whose in-depth educations and experience better qualify them to address certain issues. However, caveat emptor, as always. Given that even MDs and PhDs can be disposed to acquisitiveness just like those snake-oil salesmen, never forget to look for the money. Always, always follow the money.

Going to an orchard for the first freshly picked apple of the season has become a family tradition in the stateline. For many people, that first juicy bite into a crisp macintosh is the unofficial start of a new season — fall.
But why wait until September to visit your local orchard? Many area orchards have great produce available during the summer months as well, ripe for the picking.
Raoul Bergersen, owner of Valley Orchard, a 4,000-plus tree orchard on the east end of Cherry Valley, has fresh produce for customers as early as the end of May.
"Rhubarb is fresh and ready for harvest through mid-June, followed by strawberries through the end of June, and then we get into summer raspberries and blueberries through July."
Visitors to Curran's Orchard know when the cherries are about ready for picking when the "Cherries Soon!" sign goes up off of Kilburn Avenue.
"Our tart and semi-sweet cherries become available usually in the first week of July," said owner Pat Curran.
When fresh fruits start becoming available, people drive in from all over to pick their own or buy the freshly picked fruits.
"I would say that more than 75 percent of our cherry-pickers come from the Chicago suburbs," estimated Curran.
According to Bergersen, about half of Valley Orchard's customers are local, but they also get visitors from Elgin, Schaumburg and several other western suburbs.
Most local orchards have pumpkins and gourds that are ready for picking in the fall, too, but the apples remain the most popular seller.
"Zestar are the first apples available for picking in the late summer," said Mike Edwards from Edwards West.
Edwards West, an orchard that covers 20 acres dotted with dwarf apple trees on Cemetery Road just outside of Rockford, carries 16 varieties of apples that include crowd-pleasers like Gala and Fuji.
"We gather up to 5,000 bushels of apples in a good year," said Edwards.
For Bergersen at Valley Orchard, his favorite apple is the cameo.
"(It) is what a red delicious should taste like — a terrific eating apple — that becomes available in mid-October. I can't think of many apples that are better!"
Another popular fruit at Valley Orchard is the golden-yellow suncrisp apple, which also becomes available in October.
It's not just the apples that draw visitors to area orchards, however.
Hot apple cider and freshly baked apple doughnuts are also popular.
"25 years ago, when we first opened, our customers stopped by, and their first question was, 'Where are the doughnuts?'" Edwards said.
Edwards West has a doughnut line and a cider mill on site with fresh treats ready for sale in the fall.
"Sometimes people will call ahead and order as many as 12 dozen doughnuts to be picked up at 7 a.m. for work," said Curran. "People frequently end up knocking on our door 30 minutes before we open just to get their doughnuts."
For children, visiting an apple orchard can also be their first experience on a farm.
"We do hay rides and school tours," said Bergersen of Valley Orchard. "We built the best hay wagon in the area last summer complete with a canopy."
Edwards West offers a friendly, furry mascot.
"Bella is our Bernese Mountain Dog, and she's super friendly and great with kids," said Edwards who recently added a sidekick, Dakota, a new Bernese puppy. They also offer a special play area for kids at the orchard.
Curran's Orchard offers a corn tunnel and a mini-maze for the kids.
"It's always fun to look outside and see the kids playing on the hay bales, mom and dad sipping cider and sharing a doughnut. We look outside and see that people are happy," said Curran. "And it's always better when apples are on the trees."

Yost secures 700th victory against Tigers
KANSAS CITY -- Ned Yost notched the 700th victory of his managerial career when his Royals beat the Tigers, 6-5, on Saturday night. Now let's take a glimpse at his first win.
That came on April 8, 2003, his first season as manager of the Milwaukee Brewers. Remember?
"I think I do, but we went like 0-6 before we won," Yost said. "We didn't have a very good team."
Indeed, Yost's Brewers lost six in a row -- three at St. Louis and three to San Francisco at Milwaukee -- before getting a 5-3 victory at Pittsburgh. There were 36,003 fans -- it was the Pirates' home opener.
Ex-Royal Glendon Rusch pitched the victory for the Brewers and Scott Podsednik, who would later join the Royals, had two RBIs. The three Pirates runs came on a home run by catcher Jason Kendall, now on Yost's staff as a part-time instructor for the Royals.
"I hit a bomb. I hit three bombs the first week of the season and ended up with four," Kendall said.
Kendall exaggerated a bit; he finished that season with six home runs.
But the homer against the Brewers came against reliever Luis Vizcaino, which reminded Yost of a story.
"I had the kid for three years and he didn't know my name," Yost said.
Then-Brewers pitching coach Mike Maddux had a habit of giving all his pitchers nicknames and Vizcaino, who resembled movie star Lou Gossett Jr., was called "Chappy" after the actor's character in "Iron Eagle."
"So he became Chappy. So every day I'd say, 'Hi, Chappy, how you doing?' and he'd say 'Hey, good, Chappy,' back," Yost recalled. "So in the third year, he was out in the bullpen and Billy Castro, my bullpen coach, said, 'He doesn't know your name.' I didn't believe him so Billy says, 'Luis, what's his name?' And Luis says, 'Chappy.' 'No, what's his name?' And Luis looks at me [sheepishly] and says, 'I'm sorry, Chappy.' "
And, in the small world of baseball, Kendall wound up playing for Yost's Brewers in 2008-09. Then, he signed with the Royals for the 2010 season and has remained with the team in a part-time coaching capacity.
"I was there for his first win and, hopefully, tonight I'll be there for his 700th," Kendall said before Saturday night's game.
Sure enough, he was.

Should the news outlet have cosponsored a GOP debate with the Tea Party Express? Fri., September 23, 2011
Caitlin Johnston
Editorial assistant Caitlin Johnston (@cljohnst, email@example.com) is a graduate student at the Philip Merrill College of Journalism.
Texas Gov. Rick Perry isn't the only one under fire this primary season. CNN is facing a flurry of questions from media critics nationwide after its decision to cosponsor a debate with the Tea Party in Florida.
On September 12, CNN partnered with the Tea Party Express to stage a debate featuring eight Republican presidential candidates. The organization is a registered political action committee that raised nearly $8 million for GOP candidates in the 2010 cycle.
"There was no doubt that that the Tea Party movement had a significant impact on the election," says Sam Feist, CNN's Washington bureau chief. "It was clear to me that there was going to be a Tea Party debate in the 2012 cycle, and I thought CNN should be the one to broadcast it."
Feist says this concept of a media outlet partnering with a political group to sponsor a debate is nothing new, and that CNN has been doing it for as long as it has aired primary debates. "In partnering with a group, we're not endorsing their views at all, and we recognize that they have a political perspective," he says.
But teaming up to sponsor a debate is not the problem, says Kelly McBride, senior faculty for ethics reporting and writing at the Poynter Institute. Instead, it's the Tea Party Express's status as a PAC.
"They've partnered with the League of Women Voters and lots and lots of organizations," McBride says. "That's all well and fine. But a political action committee is expressly created to influence a process and further the agenda. That might be the difference."
McBride is not alone in her criticism of the arrangement. A number of other journalists and media critics also have spoken out against the CNN/Tea Party Express partnership.
"I don't know if such an arrangement is unprecedented, but it is certainly being trumpeted and exploited during this presidential campaign, and it's wrong," says Marvin Kalb, former network correspondent, Murrow Professor Emeritus at Harvard and coauthor of "Haunting Legacy: Vietnam and the American Presidency from Ford to Obama." "News organizations should not be sponsoring political events. They should be covering political events."
The Society of Professional Journalists warns against such alliances in its Code of Ethics. Rule No. 1under "act independently": "Avoid conflicts of interest, real or perceived."
The possibility that audience members might perceive a conflict of interest on CNN's part is what's dangerous about this debate, according to McBride. "I think it runs the risk of harming their credibility," she says. "The audience could perceive the debate as a Tea Party event, meaning that CNN loses its independence."
Feist points out that CNN maintained editorial control of the debate, chose the moderator and paid all expenses. McBride says she knows the debate was not a Tea Party event, but, nevertheless, the potential for misunderstanding threatens to undermine CNN as a news organization. "People always assign the worst motive to journalists," she says. "There were alternatives to bring debate information to the CNN audience. But the reality is they also want a piece of the action. They want that new audience tuning into CNN. And that's not a bad thing."
Ed Fouhy, former executive vice president of CBS News and executive director of the presidential debates in 1988 and 1992, says he and other journalists were appalled by CNN's decision, and would have argued strongly against entering any such relationship. Not only is it an ethical issue, he says, but it raises questions about CNN's ability to evaluate such offers and the motives behind them.
"It seems to me the Tea Party, a very young and controversial institution, used CNN's name and reputation to gain legitimacy and standing through this alliance," Fouhy says. "CNN, in short, was manipulated."
Fouhy may be onto something. A press release for the debate on the Tea Party Express's Web site asserts that the event shows the party is growing in standing and legitimacy: "The debate demonstrates that the tea party, which began as a small grassroots movement, has grown tremendously in size and influence to become a powerful force in American politics."
This isn't the first time CNN has co-sponsored a debate with a political group. In 2008, the network teamed with the Congressional Black Caucus. Other news outlets, such as Fox News, CNBC and ABC News, are sponsoring debates later this year with different state Republican groups.
Not all journalists had problems with the partnership. David Zurawik, who writes about television for the Baltimore Sun, defended CNN, praising the network for its commitment to centrist credibility. "One of the primary roles of the media is to bring citizens reliable information that they can use to make informed choices in their lives, and didn't CNN (with the help of the Tea Party) do just that with this partnership?" Zurawik wrote in a September 16 column.
Feist emphasizes that the event was simply a vehicle for informing Republican voters. "The purpose of the debate is to give Republican primary voters the opportunity to see their candidates side by side," he says "One of the most important things we do as journalists is help people decide who they're going to vote for as president."
Still, journalists such as Haynes Johnson, a former Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist with the Washington Post and now a professor at the University of Maryland's Philip Merrill College of Journalism, say the partnership was out of line. "I think it's a terrible precedent for any legitimate news organization to partner with a political group, especially one that takes such a strong stance as the Tea Party," Johnson says. "I think we shouldn't do it, and I think it's wrong."
He adds, "I think it's a bad idea for news organizations to partner with political groups, period. I think it's even more egregious to bring in someone as polarizing and ideological as the Tea Party and give them a voice."

Partitioning is used to bind a workload to a subset of the system's available resources. This binding guarantees that a known amount of resources is always available to the workload. The resource pools functionality that is described in Chapter 12, Resource Pools (Overview) enables you to limit workloads to specific subsets of the machine.
Configurations that use partitioning can avoid system-wide overcommitment. However, in avoiding this overcommitment, the ability to achieve high utilizations can be reduced. A reserved group of resources, such as processors, is not available for use by another workload when the workload bound to them is idle.

The witch rarely gets to go to premieres of any kind, so the UK premiere of The Butterfly Tattoo made a welcome change. It was on last night at Cornerhouse in Manchester, as part of a short film festival, and whereas it wasn't full, it was very busy. They moved the screening to cinema one, which I assume was to accommodate more people.
The film? It was good. Very good. I'd heard it was very good, and then I read a review somewhere which claimed it wasn't, particularly. So we went with open minds, and Daughter was warned that it wouldn't end happily. The script follows Philip Pullman's book pretty closely, so you do get the bad end at the beginning, so to speak.
It's Romeo and Juliet, really. Some very intense love when boy meets girl, and then lots of confusion as they lose touch. Lots of searching, to a backdrop of someone else's criminal behaviour, which eventually comes to have a bearing on the lives of Chris and Jenny as well.
You can tell that the film was filmed on a budget, but I wish more films were, if this is the result. There is nothing that would have been better for more money. I was particularly struck by one of the love scenes, which was blissfully quiet. In a more commercial film the couple would have found they were accompanied in the bedroom by a large orchestra. Here, there was nothing. No sound at all. Just as it should be.
The screening was followed by a Q&A with the director Phil Hawkins and some of the cast and crew, with more crew members in the audience. I was going to say that they tried to save on money by having many of them be both cast and crew, but that's silly, as nobody got paid. I suppose it just shows how versatile they are. Who'd have thought that the drunk was actually the director himself?
The questions were along the lines of, well I don't remember, because they were so technically knowledgeable that I didn't even understand the questions, let alone the answers. I did get that they could only afford one camera, though. And it rained for the ball scene, and they had to hurry before the extras all died of hypothermia.
It was all done in five weeks, and I hope that cinemas all over the world will see the light and buy The Butterfly Tattoo. Philip Pullman was right to let someone young buy the rights to his book for peanuts. Sometimes enthusiasm will do more than years of experience and loads of finance. And perhaps I'm just put out that I didn't act fast enough to buy a share or two in the film.

A period of global warming from 53 million to 47 million years ago strongly influenced plants and animals, spurring a biodiversity boom in western North America, researchers from three research museums report in a paper published online in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
"Today, the middle of Wyoming is a vast desert, and a few antelope and deer are all you see," said lead author Michael Woodburne, honorary curator of geology at the Museum of Northern Arizona. "But 50 million years ago, when temperatures were at their highest, that area was a tropical rainforest teeming with lemur-like primates, small dawn horses and a number of small forest rodents and other mammals. In fact, there were more species of mammals living in the western part of North America at that time than at any other time."
Woodburne and co-authors Gregg Gunnell of the University of Michigan Museum of Paleontology and Richard Stucky of the Denver Museum of Nature & Science examined the records of ancient temperatures and information on the fossil plants and mammals that inhabited North America during the Eocene epoch and found that diversity increased and declined with rising and falling temperatures.
The Eocene began about 56 million years ago with a short period of increased warming, when many modern groups of mammals first appeared in North America, probably by emigrating from other areas. The period the researchers studied, called the Early Eocene Climatic Optimum (EECO), began about three million years later and included a long-term temperature increase coupled with a long-term rise in diversity.
During that time, as mean annual temperature warmed from about 60 degrees Fahrenheit to 73 degrees Fahrenheit (15 degrees Celsius to 23 degrees Celsius), vegetation changed, with many new plant forms appearing, and mammal diversity increased from 90 genera to an all-time high of 104 genera, the researchers found.
"This is also the part of the Eocene when we see the most new appearances of mammals due to evolutionary innovation, rather than immigration," said Stucky, who is curator of paleoecology and evolution at the Denver Museum of Nature & Science. Some 30 new rodents, carnivores, primates and artiodactyls (the group that includes sheep, goats, camels, pigs, cows, deer, giraffes and antelopes, among others) appeared on the scene.
But then, as temperatures declined again, the number of mammal genera dropped to a low of 84, with the complete loss of many mammalian groups that previously were well represented. Lower temperatures and a dryer climate continued to influence mammal and plant evolution as savanna habitats began to emerge.
Until this research, the consensus among paleontologists who study North American vertebrates was that climate played only a background role in supporting the evolution of mammals during the Paleocene and Eocene (65 million to 35 million years ago) and that only at the end of the Eocene, when Antarctic glaciations began, did Earth's climate deteriorate enough to cause observable changes in land mammal diversity.
"Our paper documents the fact that global change affected plants and animals on a wide scale," said Gunnell, an associate research scientist and vertebrate collection coordinator at the U-M Museum of Paleontology. "Some plants and animals flourished while others suffered."
When considering today's global warming, Woodburne said, "The question is, on which side of this picture will mankind be found?"

Wall Street Likes Facebook's New Pitch
Facebook had a very rough summer. But fall is looking up.
At least by Wall Street's estimation: After falling to an all-time low of $17.55 after Labor Day, FB shares are up 25 percent, to $22.
Again, you always want to be wary of turning lots of buy/sell decisions into a single narrative. That said, here's the new conventional wisdom about the way investors see the company:
- IPO pricing aside, it's still a giant Web site with a newish ad business, so even in a worst-case scenario it has lots of growth left. It does have a big mobile problem, but every Web publisher has a big mobile problem.
- Mark Zuckerberg appeared onstage at TechCrunch Disrupt and did not melt! So that's good.
- All of these new product lines Facebook is showing off or hinting at — e-commerce, "premium services" for big users, search — are promising.
And today is a chance for Facebook to polish that story a bit more. COO Sheryl Sandberg is scheduled for two high-profile appearances: First, Charlie Rose, the two-show TV interviewer, will chat up Sandberg and Facebook board member Marc Andreessen at a Web ad conference in New York. Then Sandberg and her top lieutenants will host a press conference, where the rest of us can lob questions.
Hard to imagine any surprises coming out of their event, as Sandberg is very practiced and controlled when it comes to these kinds of interactions. See, for example, her interview with CNBC's Julia Boorstin, which aired yesterday.
Still, at a minimum, it's a chance for Facebook to distribute its sales pitch — we're huge/we're still growing! — to lots of different outlets. We'll see if investors want to hear anything else.

TIM PALMER: The layman the Catholic Church has appointed to run its engagement with the Royal Commission into child sex abuse, says he hopes the church will release any documents requested, without limitation.
Francis Sullivan has left the Australian Medical Association to take up the role of CEO of the church's new Truth, Justice and Healing Council.
He says the council's role is to generate a sense of pastoral healing rather than evasiveness. But he doesn't support any changes to the confidentiality of the confession box.
Francis Sullivan, what is the Truth, Justice and Healing Council?
FRANCIS SULLIVAN: Well, as the name implies this is an organisation that has been set up by the Catholic Church leaders, the archbishops and legislators, to enable it to fully embrace the Royal Commission and the ramifications that come out of it.
TIM PALMER: Well, let's look at that a little more in detail. For example where the church has acted in the past to laicized priests in layman's terms, to defrock them, I know the church doesn't like that term - will the church release to the Royal Commission all the documents involved in making the case against a priest to be laicized because of child abuse and will that extend to documents that went to the Vatican for example?
FRANCIS SULLIVAN: Well, I don't want to sound evasive. I want to say this to start with, that we currently don't know yet what the terms of reference for the Royal Commission will be. In other words what is going to be in scope and what isn't, but what I can say and what the bishops are on the record as saying is that they want to be open and transparent and embrace the workings of the Royal Commission.
Here the Royal Commission at times will want certain documentation. The role of the council is to facilitate that. Our responsibility from here on is to assist the Royal Commission so the truth can come out.
TIM PALMER: So will that be without limit, as I said, in past cases if the Royal Commission sought for example all of the documents involved in essentially internally prosecuting a priest to laicize that priest, would the church be prepared through your council to make all the documents available including those that went to Rome?
FRANCIS SULLIVAN: Well, I know we are dealing with a hypothetical at the moment Tim but as I said earlier the principle upon which we are operating is that we will fully cooperate and be open and transparent so that the truth can come out.
I can't be more specific than that until we have a specific request from the commission.
TIM PALMER: Let's look at what's been perceived as a legalistic approach in the area of the seal of confession. I know that your colleague on the council, Barry O'Keefe, has supported maintaining that. You yourself I think have spoken in support of quarantining the seal of confession in terms of reporting offenders.
Do you see that as immediately to victims who are looking at the church's response as a slap in the face to them, that the church won't go past that issue?
FRANCIS SULLIVAN: Well, I don't think it is slap in the face. What I think is important here is that the position the church takes needs to be explained so that people can understand that ultimately churches, because they are committed to the gospel, are committed to a compassionate response to everybody.
TIM PALMER: Other institutions that are equally human take a similar approach but are bound by the law to report under a mandate when they are informed of a crime in the area of child abuse. Why not the church extending that to the confession box?
FRANCIS SULLIVAN: Well, there are two things there I think Tim. Firstly that certainly the issue of mandatory reporting by priests of information that they have about crimes and about child abuse that they've got from outside the confessional definitely needs to be reported.
The issue of the confessional is sacrosanct. It is a more intimate issue for the church and for people who participate in confession. At the end of the day what we'll be looking for in the Royal Commission is an opportunity for victims and others who have been damaged by the atrocities to be able to tell their story and I think this is something that government must be grappling with because there will be many people who want to tell their story.
TIM PALMER: But can you give a commitment on the part of your council that you'll help that process as much as possible by presenting documents when they're required by the Royal Commission without limit.
FRANCIS SULLIVAN: Well, that's our hope.
TIM PALMER: Francis Sullivan, the incoming CEO of the Catholic Church's Truth, Justice and Healing Council.
The full story...
Catholic Church hopes to provide all requested documents to Royal Commission
Tim Palmer reported this story on Friday, January 4, 2013 08:18:00
TIM PALMER: The layman the Catholic Church has appointed to run its engagement with the Royal Commission into child sex abuse, says he hopes the church will release any documents requested, without limitation.

Chapter 1-2 Part 2
Resident Evil 5 HD Walkthrough S-Rank Chapter 1-2: No Damage
|BSAA Emblem #1 - Before leaving the house with the Antique Clock in it, you may want to take the time to find and eliminate the very first of thirty BSAA Emblems found in the game. If you're on the second floor of the structure you just traversed, then you're in the right area. Remember where you found the Antique Clock? Well, you want to head not to that balcony, but to the other balcony on the second floor. Head to the right side of said balcony and look at the houses in front of you. The emblem is hanging off of one of them.
With the Antique Clock and myriad other goods from the house in hand, you can then head back out to the streets. Adjacent to the building you just traversed is a gate that will require both characters to kick it open simultaneously. You'll find a relatively quiet scene on the other side. Remember the Old Building Key you picked up earlier? Well, that now has a use. Unlock the door on the small building to your left, and grab the goods from within, including the Ithaca M37 shotgun from on the wall. As for the ladder leading to the roof, you can ignore it, as there's nothing up there to see. With the shotgun in hand, you can run across the street and climb up the stairs to the second floor entrance, where a cutscene will take place. You'll need to kill the blond girl-turned-Cephalo here, as well as her male partner. Cephalos are zombified enemies that sprout menacing-looking bug-like heads when slain. Thankfully, that shotgun will help make quick work of her (her male friend is a basic zombie, so fell him with normal pistol rounds).
Unfortunately for you, this fray will have attracted even more Majini to the scene, giving you a fair amount of foes to deal with. They'll come from the rooftops of the area you just went through, and from other areas. Your best bet is to stay put, and let them come to you. Just watch your back, since Majini, like so many other Resident Evil enemies, are wily. They'll crawl through windows and get to you in just about any way possible. When all are slain, scour the ground for drop goods (being sure to grab the valuable treasure Ivory Relief dropped by the deceased blond woman), and then head through the yet-unopened door to get out of the building. As you climb down the stairs back down towards street level, your team will radio in. This will cause four more enemies to confront you. Deal with all of them, as well.
When all is quiet, you can proceed to the area adjacent to you. The big red doors will be locked from the far side, but thankfully, there's a hole in the wall to the left that allows you to access the same area. Shoot the lock off of the doors you couldn't earlier breach if you so desire, and be sure to knock the barrels down on the far end of the pathway to grab the goods within. Then, head through the red door on the left to enter this mysterious looking building. Heading through the first floor of this building is easy enough; simply work your way through the makeshift labyrinth all the way to the opposite corner of the building, where a staircase leading up to the second floor can be found.
You'll find a grizzly scene once through the door. One of your fallen comrades lay butchered on the ground before you. Grab the goods on the table nearby and then head rightward, where you can find a ladder leading upward through the destroyed structure. You're ultimately seeking out a door above that will allow you to continue, but be sure to deviate from your path to find the nearby treasure chest across a chasm, chock full of money. Once through the door itself, you'll find another enemy-less pathway, this one leading to an elevator heading downward. Now before getting into said elevator and triggering the checkpoint turn the page and score your next emblem.
