crabwise (KRAB-wyz) adjective 1. Sideways. 2. In a cautious or roundabout manner. [From the sideways movement of crabs.] "John Smith is still moving crabwise towards modernity." John Major's Last Year?, The Economist (London), May 15, 1993. It's a blessing to have a child at home. As parent of a four-year old, I strive to answer my daughter Ananya's incessant questions about moon and earthworms and clouds and trees and bears as truthfully as I can. Our investigations into these seemingly mundane matters often reveal insights that are learning experiences for both of us. But there are times when my thoughts are elsewhere and I simply answer the question "Why?" with "Because that's how God made 'em." I didn't know the joke was on me until the evening I found the corner of our living room wall scribbled with bright shades of crayons. When questioned why we had that mural on the wall, she simply replied, "Because that's how God made it." Well, if we were to ask why a crab moves crabwise or sideways, that'd be a pretty good answer: because that's how God (or nature, depending on how your beliefs run) made it. Because that's how their legs bend. That's how their muscles flex. That's how they've adapted. That's how they survive as a species. And that's how we got a synonym for the word 'sideways' in our dictionary. If we were to look up the term 'humanwise' in a crab's dictionary, chances are it would mean 'sideways'. This week's AWAD features more words derived from animals (the only animal-based products we use around here). -Anu

IN: Tracy and James, Elaine and Phil thought it would be nice to include this summary page in the plan review package for Stan's review next week. I think Rod mentioned that Stan has set a target for Phil of 5.0MM for 2002. Please advise if this is still valid because Phil personally has not heard that from Stan. The numbers that we have in Adaytum match the $4.4 MM net contribution. The remaining $0.6MM are salary offsets on NNG. 42P does not have employees and they use NNG employees. When they do that, NNg charges the salaries of the employees for the applicable # of hours to 42P. Therefore, 42P covers expenses that NNG would have to bear otherwise. Phil feels that the $0.6MM of salaries offsets should be counted toward the 5.0 target since it's a benefit that 42P brings to NNG. James and I talked about this on the phone. Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns. Thanks!
