I am looking for a method on how to draw a web page flow diagram. I have found this http://jjg.net/ia/visvocab/
However, I find it, most page diagram assume that "page" is the basic unit (which represent a state). Most modern Ajax style web page doesn't update the whole page, but only section of the page.
My question is, how to represent those partial updates on diagram?

Kim Gonzalez is a shy 19-year-old with caramel colored skin and big brown tits full of leche. She hasn't had a lot of cock-sucking experience, but this little Latina has her cock-stroking down to a science. I'm sure she passed out quite a few handjobs while she was keeping her legs crossed and fighting off the neighborhood boys. We love helping a girl hone her blowjob skills and we gave Kim a big cock to practice on. She was a little hesitant at first, but she licked and stroked her way all the way to a cum facial surprise.

A defected military officer in the Libyan army has confirmed the death of Mutassim Gaddafi in Brega. The officer reportedly witnessed the dead body of Muammar Gaddafi's son after a NATO strike on the city where fierce fighting has been raging for weeks. This news is trending on Twitter and cannot be independently verified.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
مُعْتَصِمٌ بِٱللهِ ٱلْقَذَّافِيّ
Born 1977 (age 33–34) Nationality Libyan Occupation National Security Adviser
Moatassem-Billah Gaddafi (Arabic: مُعْتَصِمٌ بِٱللهِ ٱلْقَذَّافِيّ, also transliterated as Mutassim or Al-Mu'tasim) (born 1977) is a former Libyan Army officer, and the National Security Adviser of Libya since 2010.[1] He is the fifth son of Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi.
In April 2009, Moatassem met with U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, the highest-level diplomatic exchange between the two countries since they resumed diplomatic relations several years earlier.[2]
He spent several years in Egypt following an internal leadership dispute.
Independent terrorism consultant Evan Kohlmann, writing about the death in Libya of Ibn Al Sheikh Al Libi, a former captive in the CIA's "high value detainee" program, suggested Gaddafi had played a role in the death.[1] Under torture directed by the CIA Al Libi confessed to using trainers from Iraq to train jihadists how to use Iraq's Weapons of Mass Destruction. Senior officials in the George W. Bush Presidency cited Al Libi's confession as proof of Al Qaeda's ties to Iraq and proof that Iraq possessed Weapons of Mass Destruction.
After several years of speculation as to what had happened to Al Libi, when it became clear the confessions wrung from him were false, human rights workers found he was being held in a Libyan prison.[1] They tried to make arrangements to meet with him, only to be informed he had committed suicide.
Kohlmann wrote that Al Libi's death followed shortly after a meeting between Moatessem-Billal Gaddafi and Omar Suleiman, a senior Egyptian intelligence official.[1] Kohlmann wrote that the reports in the Libyan press about Al Libi's death were authorized by his elder brother and rival, heir apparent Saif al-Islam Muammar Al-Gaddafi. He is a part of his father's inner circle. He has commanded units in Brega during the 2011 Libyan Civil War. [3]" Wikkepedia
Defected military officer confirms the death of #Gaddafi's 3rd son #Mutassim in NATO air strikes on #Brega after seeing his dead body. – @dovenews
The Libyan news site Dove News reported the following, translated from Arabic:
"...is close to the Libyan opposition yesterday evening, the officer's breakaway Gaddafi regime, which did not mention his name, saying that he saw himself in God's body Mutasim Gaddafi, after the bombing offensive aircraft NATO forces,''''about three weeks ago in Brega, pointing out that Mutasim, who served as national security adviser, is the third of Gaddafi's sons who died in the war going on in Libya, after both of Thurs Qaddafi, Leader of Legion 32 of the Libyan army, and the sword of the Arabs, the youngest son of Libyan leader, who was killed in a raid to''NATO''a few days ago, accompanied by three of the descendants of Colonel al-Libi.
He added the same source, quoting the officer dissident, that Gaddafi has his own murder and his defense minister, Lieutenant General Abu Bakr Younis Jaber, in his office, was shot dead, owing to the objection of the latter on the way to deal with the Libyan regime protests in Libya since its inception.
However, the renegade officer did not give a date for the assassination of the Minister of Defence by the Libyan Gaddafi in his office, but only by pointing out that his information that is unconfirmed reliable sources.
It is noteworthy that the Libyan Defense Minister Jaber Group, did not appear on the Libyan media some time ago, where only address the media in relation to the military aspect of the crisis, Libyan spokesman" Dove News
This in itself is fascinating news as it offers confirmation that Gaddafi did indeed shoot one of his top officers, as I had reported on May 19th, deriving the information from Twitter feeds.Did Gadaffi Assassinate Top Military Commander? http://www.allvoices.com/contributed-new

Tripoli: Suleiman Dogha: Bab Al Aziziya is completely destroyed. It has been razed to the ground today. #libya #feb17
Muammar Gaddafi's infamous compound Bab Al Aziziya was utterly annihalated on his 69th birthday, June 7th, 2011.
Today, news of his son's death put Gaddafi in good company with the thousands of Libyans who have paid the ultimate price for asking peacefully for their freedom from his tyrannical and corrupt regime, losing not only their homes but their loved ones in the many thousands. Last month another son, Saif Al-Arab was purportedly killed in a NATO strike in Tripoli. Rumours in March said that Khaled, yet another of the seven sons of Gaddafi, had been burned and perished when a kamikaze pilot defected and crashed his jet into Bab Al- Aziziya.
The daughter of Gaddafi, Aisha filed a case against NATO. It is hard to imagine what it must be like to be a member of the Gaddafi family right now. Gaddafi's wife herself said in a recent telephone interview with CNN, "History will judge us."

STILLWATER, Okla. —
The sound in the Colvin Center was deafening. Voices screamed, hands pounded on the floor and crowds clapped as Special Olympics athletes practiced their motor skills for medals.
The athletes, many in motorized wheelchairs, tried their hand at rolling balls, crawling to the finish line, moving blocks and other events designed to improve motor skills.
"You can do it," urged Amanda Rosamond to her son Gabriel.
He sat in his motorized chair with a labeled tray over his lap. Slowly but surely, he moved a one-inch by one-inch blue block to the other side through intense concentration and encouragement from the crowd. As he dropped the block into a taped-off square on the other side, his face lit up and he giggled as the crowd burst into cheers. His mother beamed with pride.
"It's these little milestones that he's getting to do that show he's capable of doing these skills," she said.
Her 15-year-old son has been coming to the Special Olympics Summer Games in Stillwater from Tecumseh since he was 8 years old.
"It's the only thing like it," she said.
She listed the events in which he competes, including ball roll, ball toss, ball kick, rolling, turning over and moving blocks. He smiled and stuck his tongue out when she said ball kick. It's his favorite, she said.
Motor Activities Program Director Debbie Nobles said 18 athletes were competing in the motor activities events this year, many of them with multiple disabilities. In addition to being fun, the games also train the athletes in motor skills. Nobles said many schools use the same events for physical therapy with special needs students.
The Special Olympics Summer Games conclude Friday. This year's events have attracted more than 4,600 athletes from around the state to compete in golf, bowling, horseshoes, powerlifting, basketball and many others sports.

C/C++/C# Education and Training Key Terms
Some basic terms you'll encounter when learning C/C++/C#In today's tech market, the C suite of languages represents a very conventional part of the coding used to make the whole range of business applications function. Programmers often use C, C#, C+, and C++ for all kinds of projects, and collaborate on larger projects where C provides a basis for complex automation. When a beginner wants to get into C, it's good to learn some of the main aspects of C education and training. Knowing key terms that describe certain skills will help you get started.
C syntax
C code samplesC code samples are sets of code that demonstrate to beginners just how C programming works. Basic code samples can be powerful tools for any level of education in C or a C language. They also show how coding conventions have developed within the C coding community.
C and C# tutorialsTutorials are another common way that beginners get access to knowledge about coding and programming in C-based languages.
C certificationProgrammers who want to get in-depth with C, C+ or C# will often obtain C certification. Passing the C language certification exam that gives the programmer a useful programming credential.
Bellevue College. Before you invest the time and money in a certification course, make sure the certification administrator is recongnized throughout the industry.
Object-oriented programming, or OOPObject-oriented programming, sometimes abbreviated OOP, comes into play often when talking about C and related languages. OOP is the practice of using languages around "object" frameworks rather than in "free data" designs.
C compilerLike other languages, C uses a compiler to translate human language into machine language. Aside from syntax and coding, the beginner in C languages should learn about how the C compiler works.

Nick Calathes says he loves the Florida Gators. But they're a little more difficult to love after Billy Donovan took the head coaching position with the Orlando Magic.
Calathes, from Winter Park, Florida, said Saturday that he was surprised by Donovan's departure. Now, Calathes anxiously awaits the naming of the next head coach. Calathes would like to see VCU's Anthony Grant as the next coach, as Grant helped recruit Calathes to Florida when Grant was a Donovan assistant.
"Coach Grant is a great guy," Calathes said. "But any other coach (that the Gators may hire) would need to come down and talk to me."

One KOTA Territory credit union challenged the community to save half a million dollars in loan interest, and they have reached their goal with two months to spare.
The Sturgis Northern Hills Federal Credit Union challenged community members to save $500,000 in loan interest. 85 members took part in the challenge and when a member refinanced, the total loan interest savings counted towards the challenges goal.
"We could not be more thrilled with the results so far for the Community Challenge," said NHFCU President and CEO Cindy Griffin. "This was the inaugural year, so to pass our goal this early is very exciting."
Not only does the challenge save people money, but NHFCU has committed to donate a total of $6,000 to three local charities if the goal was reached.
"We are going to be able to make some nice donations to each charity, and we're also helping community members lower their loan interest," said Griffin. "We are very happy with our community and this challenge."
The challenge ends December 14th. The total savings will be announced and checks will be presented to various charities. The public will decide the total amount each charity will receive. To vote for your favorite charity go to www.MyCUSaves.org.

Glen Ernstrom – Neurobiology
Nerve cells in our brain talk to each other through packets of chemicals (Figure 1). The amount of chemicals in each packet is critical for relaying electrical nerve impulses from one neuron to the next. I am interested in how these chemical messengers are packaged and released. We know that these important chemical messengers called transmitters are loaded into tiny sacs, called vesicles, at the ends of a nerve. Triggered by an electrical nerve impulse, vesicles burst against the end of a nerve ending to unload its chemical packet. While the basics of chemical transmission are understood, we do not know what regulates the amount of chemicals loaded into each vesicle. Is there a molecular gauge? A switch? Using the genetic model organism, a round worm, Caenorhabiditis elegans, my research focuses on identifying the mechanism that controls vesicle loading and the release of neurotransmitters. In my lab we are currently testing the model that vesicle acidification regulates synaptic vesicle exocytosis. We use an interdisciplinary approach that applies genetics, molecular biology, electrophysiology, and live cell imaging.

First National of Nebraska, number 3 on Computerworld's ranking this week of the nation's most green IT operations, has been using fuel cells to provide up to 340 kilowatts of clean power to its data center for more than eight years. So why hasn't the technology caught on? No one has overcome the cost and complexity issues yet, although one startup's efforts look promising.
First National uses fuel cell technology based on a phosphoric acid process that produces electricity for about 15 cents per killowatt hour. The national average for grid power is 10 cents per kWh, and you don't have the issue of maintaining your own power plant. First National can get power from the grid for about 5 cents per kWh, but the high availability aspect of fuel cell technology allows the company to meet uptime requirements for its credit card processing operations without investing $100 million in a backup data center. "It's a huge, huge number, says CIO Ken Kucera. "I'm not a Chase or Citibank that can [afford] three or four data centers." For Kucera, fuel cell technology was part of a high availability, "seven nines" design necessary to allow it to compete with those much larger players with deeper pockets.
The challenge with the solid oxide process is that the reaction produces temperatures in the range of 600 to 1,000 degrees Centigrade, and that has produced problems with corrosion. Bloom claims to have overcome those issues and says it has been able to mass produce its design. The first tests will likely take place in California and New York, where tax incentives and high utility rates create a proving ground on which to refine the design and start building manufacturing economies of scale. If all goes well, Gross says Bloom could be offering a fuel cell system that produces electricity at a comparable cost to utility power within the next two years.

6 Tips for bathing your dogMarch 5th, 2014
As any dog owner can tell you, bathing a dog is like entering the fray of a messy battle. You go in uncertain and won't make it out unscathed – likely covered with soap, shed fur and a dog coat's worth of water. But with some simple tips, you can manage the whole process with relatively little damage.
While there's the chance that your dog is as good-natured, sweet and bath-loving as they come, that makes your pet an outlier. For everyone else, prepare yourself.
1. Pick your arena
If you're lucky enough to be able to wash your dog outdoors, don't hesitate for a second. You'll save yourself, your tub and the bathroom walls a whole lot of grief! Still, indoor baths are the norm most of the year, and the tub is usually the best READ MORE...


text: The politics of marble consist in its historical significance and its domestic sources. The grandest structures of the ancient European empires, buildings that stand to this day, were monuments of marble. Marble "says" permanence and empire; marble is good for national self-esteem. The statues, halls and pyramids of Washington are conscious echoes of Greek, Roman and European predecessors. And each state is proud to have its specialty stone represented in Washington. These columns at the Jefferson Memorial are made of Vermont marble while the floors consist of marble from Tennessee, all of it seated on a foundation of Georgia granite.

Rear wheel drive: race architecture
Driving pleasure is the result of carefully balanced design. Rear wheel drive and a centrally mounted engine: the architecture of the Alfa Romeo 4C is typical of competition cars in which perfect weight distribution is the primary objective.
The Alfa Romeo 4C has rear wheel drive to make full use of the dynamic advantages afforded by this configuration. Rear wheel drive gives better grip under acceleration, when engine power throws weight towards the rear of the car. Rear wheel drive also lets you enter curves at higher speeds, delivering a far more intense driving experience.
The aluminium engine is centrally mounted. This significantly reduces weight as it eliminates the need for a propeller shaft and optimises weight distribution by concentrating mass near the centre for crisper handling.

A word from South Park Cafe
South Park Cafe has been serving rustic French cuisine since 1985. Gourmet Magazine called South Park "One of the best little French restaurants in San Francisco". Michael Bauer says "Feels like a little slice of Paris and the food is as good as ever".

Diner Reviews
We keep coming back to this
restaurant for his constant quality of food, service and ambiance at a reasonable price for SF. We always love the pig salad, and the variety of entrees. Keep up the good work and we will keep coming back. Annie and Michael"
Dined on 7/26/2014
When I lived in the city, South
Park was a favorite little known secret on the edges of no mans land. Now as a result of development, it's central and accessible from South Beach and the ballpark yet it somehow retains that hidden gem appeal. This restaurant has been a go to favorite for literally decades. I had not been there in a long time and it was as good as I remembered. The prix fixe for $39 gets you three courses and wine is generously poured by the glass. Tables are closely placed but not too close. Intimate surroundings. Great service. The only demerit was the warm goat cheese salad. The crouton was burned. I would not have served it and there was slightly too much dressing. Otherwise a lovely meal."
Dined on 7/25/2014
I've been coming here, when I
could, for nearly 30 years, and have never had food or wine that weren't very, very satisfying. Same for service, ambiance, cleanliness, variety of preparations, etc., etc."
Dined on 7/24/2014
Food was great, service was fast,
and overall, it was a reasonable price (at least by SF standards). I wouldn't call it a crazy standout, but definitely an enjoyable evening and a solid meal! Worth a visit if you are in the SOMA area."
Dined on 7/19/2014
Pig salad was wonderful! Main
course was hanger steak which was also delicious. The big disappointment was the salmon. It was fishy - not fresh. Service was great."
Dined on 7/11/2014
Enjoyed a quiet, delicious meal in
a small, neighborhood spot. Food was prepared simply and well. The pate appetizer was excellent as was the duck entree. The salmon dish was not quite up to par. The zucchini accompanying the salmon was not great. Otherwise our dining experience was excellent."
Dined on 7/10/2014
After reading the Yelp reviews on
South Park, we decided to have dinner there and were not disappointed. Our server was friendly and engaging. The food was an absolute delight! We had The Pig Salad and Pork & Duck Pate to start and both were equally amazing but the dressing gave the salad the edge. Mains were duck confit and hangar steak. Again, duck confit was moist and full of flavour with the lentils soaking up all the jus and the steak was tender and done just right. Kudos to the chef and staff for a true french bistro experience."
Dined on 7/8/2014
South Park Cafe is one of my
favorite restaurants in the neighborhood, with friendly service and consistently reliable food that is simply prepared and delicious, every time."
Dined on 6/20/2014
This is another lovely local
place, like a little French cafe. South Park is an oasis, (if you can overlook the local seedy characters) of a quiet park setting amidst urban sterile buildings. The food is so delicious and reasonably priced. The best deal in the City may be the prix fixe for $39. Octopus salad is wonderful. The crispy pork belly appetizer is a must. The food is carefully prepared and presentation is outstanding. A great spot!!"
Dined on 6/12/2014
Returned to S.P.Cafe after many
years! It is a gem hidden in the south part of the city! Expect that my 82nd Bday will be spent there! When I was working, it was a lunch destination and occasionally for dinner. Glad to have rediscovered it!"
Dined on 5/30/2014
This restaurant fits South Park
like a nice garden party hat. The food is tasty, the choices just right. The staff are friendly, neighborly, in fact, and seem interested in making your party happy. It is noisy, mainly because of acoustics, but also because they have a lot of tables in a fairly small space. It is part of a neighborhood restaurant ambience, so in most cases it is not so bad, except for the occasional screechy laugher (screech laughing on both inhales and exhales LOL)."
Dined on 5/30/2014
I have been going to South Park
Cafe for many years. I love the food, the ambience, and the owners (Marty and Ward, the chef). I always get the three-course prix fixe menu, and I always start off with the Pig Salad ... it's delicious. Then I usually get the fish entree, which is always great, no matter which type of fish it is. My favorite entree of all times was the rack of lamb with baked macaroni and cheese ... alas, not on the menu now, but hopefully will return some day. I also usually eat a good sampling of everything my dining partner orders ... last week's veal ribs were terrific, as was the smoked trout appetizer. I also have a glass of Sancerre, a really tasty white wine. I feel at home there, and welcomed. "
Dined on 5/29/2014
Most people don't know that South
Park even exists. For a relaxing, neighborhood restaurant with fantastic food you can't beat it! I hope it never gets too popular as tables will be hard to get :-)"
Dined on 5/23/2014
A secret spot located on a hidden
park in the City. Small selection but the dishes are well prepared and presented. Very friendly staff. Reservations are a must. "
Dined on 5/16/2014
Has been a favorite for more than
25 years!! The waitress is always good humored and fun, the food always delicious. Feels like you're in a corner of Paris."
Dined on 5/16/2014
The neighborhood and the
restaurant and both attractive. We started with the pate' which was delicious. Then we split the mussels which were really good but a bit bland. Perhaps a little more garlic in the sauce would have made it better. I had the hanger steak which was perfectly cooked and the sauce was amazing. My partner had the duck breast. He loved the duck breast, it was perfectly cooked, but thought the sweet cabbage was way too sweet. The good thing about the sweet cabbage was that we didn't need desert. The wait staff was fantastic. Very accomodating. The restaurant interior is very warm and inviting. If people weren't speaking English, I could have imagined we were in Paris."
Dined on 4/26/2014
We have dined at South Park for a
dozen years, and have never been disappointed. Ward's amazing creations are consistently fresh and ever so French. This last visit was no exception: the meal shone, and the service was better than ever. Thank you again for a memorable meal and experience at So Park Cafe."
Dined on 4/25/2014
It simply doesn't get better
whether one is dining alone, as a couple or with a group of friends. They have a price fixe which is nice to consider if one is into adding a dessert. "
Dined on 4/23/2014
It makes for a good dinner
experience when the staff and kitchen are accommodating. I asked for something that was not on the menu and they delivered with a smile."
Dined on 4/9/2014
We appreciated that South Park
Cafe accommodated our large party of 7. Our server was patient and funny and it was a great evening! Like being in a neighborhood in the 6th or 7th in Paris. Great food."
Dined on 4/9/2014
I had lived many years in the
City, but was now out of touch with the restaurants. What a wonderful surprise! South Park was a charming little neighbor hood, and the Cafe was so comfortable there. The decor was minimalist but very tasteful and warm. Our meal was a a terrific hit. My friend and I ordered the 'pig salad' to share as it seemed to be a favorite in the reviews. The crispy pig morsels were amazing, especially when combined with the apples, frisee, and mustard vinaigrette. My hanger steak arrived perfectly cooked in a wine reduction sauce to die for. My friend ordered the halibut on a bed of spinach and she was totally delighted. Our service was perfect without being intrusive and the wine list was just right."
Dined on 4/4/2014
Breakfast, lunch, dinner - my most
favorite place in San Francisco for more than 20 years! Never changes - a menu update or addition from time to time, but always charming, great food and great service."
Dined on 4/3/2014
Had dinner with two old friends.
We could actually have a conversation and hear each other. The food and wine were great (steak/frites!!), as was the service. Our waiter was really patient—we were so busy talking it took a while to get around to ordering. Very warm ambience. Charming, European atmosphere. Great location...out of that Valencia Street and downtown chaos. I would definitely go back."
Dined on 3/22/2014
We have gone to South Park for
years, but the last couple of times -- the food has been pretty disappointing. I started off with the field greens salad -- it was just that....lettuce lightly dressed w/a very bland dressing. Would have benefitted from at least a crouton for eight bucks. Next I had the Skirt Steak and fries -- it was VERY tough and gristly. The sauce was not tasty and had a bad aftertaste. The fries were not anything special. I followed that with the peach and coconut sorbet. The coconut was good, but the peach sorbet tasted like it was made w/canned peaches and had the color to match. We won't be back."
Dined on 3/21/2014
Dined @ South Park for decades and
sad to see it has not decided whether or not to focus on food, service or ambiance [read, noise level]. I believe it could be all three, but thus far the food is typically 4 star, service uneven and noise level ridiculous."
Dined on 3/19/2014
Great food, with very personal
service. The closest you can get to a Paris bistro in San Francisco. You will never be disappointed. Excellent duck. Fabulous pig salad. Lovely first courses. Best hanger steak-frites in town. Very nice selection of wines. It's very satisfying to come back again and again."
Dined on 3/11/2014
We enjoyed the experience. Good
service. Food was very good, but not exceptional. Reasonable value for the money. We will go back."
Dined on 3/1/2014
As a business traveller I eat
alone mostly. I had a nice table, in this cosy little restaurant. The atmosphere is good, friendly. The food was excellent, this is a place where I will return if back in SF."
Dined on 2/18/2014
Seated right away with
reservation, service very friendly but not overbearing. Menu selection diverse, good wine selections and pairing advise. Food delivered promptly and hot, excellent flavors. Could use one or two non-dairy (for lactose intolerance) dessert choices."
Dined on 2/15/2014
In a location where modern dining
establishments rule the roost, South Park Cafe is refreshingly quaint and exudes neighborhood charm. The food is classic French bistro fare, and I very much enjoyed my pork belly appetizer, and the duck was also cooked perfectly. With a few minor upgrades to the interior (i.e. china, flatware, linens, and a fresh coat of paint), my "ambiance" rating would have been higher. With a menu that included more seasonal and local legumes, South Park Cafe could really go above and beyond a simple neighborhood dining establishment. I always ask myself if I'd return to a restaurant, again when I write a review. My answer is yes - it'll be exciting to see what developments might take place!"
Dined on 2/14/2014
This is a relatively quiet, not
inexpensive but not expensive, neighborhood bistro. Great food, good wine list, and charming. The prex fixe is the best way to go. Wonderful meal, relaxing and delicious. Parking is a challenge."
Dined on 2/13/2014
I hadn't been to the South Park in
years. I read the positive reviews and decided to give it a try. It stood up well to the reviews. The remoulade of celery root and beets was basically crudite, and was perfectly dressed and seasoned. Simple vegetables prepared such that they were exquisite. The Artic char was cooked perfectly and the accompanying vegetables went well with it and were also delicious. The service was prompt and attentive without being intrusive. It has an ambiance of a quiet neighborhood cafe, which I love in comparison to trendy, noisy, hyper kinetic venues."
Dined on 2/6/2014
have been dining at south park for
well over twenty years. great food, comfortable surroundings, attentive wait staff."
Dined on 2/1/2014
The atmosphere of the
neighborhood, the decor of the restaurant the small but perfect menu make this place just complete comfort and makes you feel like you've been taken away from the hustle bustle. Enjoyed the overall experience, and no complaints about the food which is above average, not the greatest I ever had however. The duck stood out though."
Dined on 1/28/2014
Great spot. I go once a year when
I am in San Francisco on business. I have dined at South Park now for 25 years in a row."

I saw this featured on check
please, Bay Area, and wanted to try it... I was not disappointed! The duck leg confit was amazing, and my girlfriend got the steak and frites in this delicious bourguigone sauce... wow! Service was attentive and speedy --- also, great wines available by the glass or bottles. All in all an A+ experience!"

Ouch! Once again the Blazers get hit with a last second shot.
It seemed the Blazers could do no wrong the first month of the season. They beat the Spurs by one when San Antonio misses at the buzzer, they beat the Kings the same way and we'll never forget Brandon Roy's 30 footer at the Buzzer to beat the Rockets.
This week, a little of their own medicine. Wednesday, Hedo Turkoglu banked home a three to beat the Blazers with 3 tenths of a second to go. Friday night, Baron Davis buries the three at the end of regulation to force overtime. Clippers win in 2 OT's.
I feel bad for Steve Blake, because he is a good player and a classy guy...and he just happened to miss four free throws in the last 20 seconds of regulation to clinch the win. He had missed just two all season. That opened the door for Baron Davis to nail the 3 at the buzzer to force overtime. Clippers win in two overtimes 120-112. Davis had 27 and former blazer Zach Randolph 38 pts and 11 rebs.
Blake is professional and after the game, perhaps the toughest of the season, he stepped up and talked with reporters.
"I'm taking it personally, yeah of course," said Blake. "I feel the game was on my shoulders in the end and I let everybody down.
Blake did say you've got to take it in stride and move on and he's right. There are 57 games left and many more chances. It's been a great season and it's going to get better. The Blazers now get three days off before playing the Kings on Tuesday at the Rose Garden.
Could there be another last second shot? That's what makes the NBA a great game. Good to the last shot.

To earn high marks in the Impact category, be sure to explain the expected impact for your idea and the metrics for how you will evaluate your success.
To earn high marks in the Implementation category, demonstrate that you can successfully implement your idea by providing a feasible timeline, explanation of who is working on the project (team members and/or mentors) and an appropriate budget.
SECOND ROUND JUDGING: Proposal Evaluation/Elevator Pitches
Based on marks from first round judging, a group of finalists will be selected to move on to the second round of judging. For the second round, a panel of government, business and social innovation and entrepreneurship experts will evaluate elevator pitches. The four judging criteria will again include sustainability, creativity, impact and implementation (see notes above).
The Pitch Process
Please check the dates and deadlines page for the elevator pitch portion of the competition.
Each team will be given 5 minutes to deliver a pitch before the second round judges' panel. These judges will have had access to teams' executive summaries in advance. Pitches should be concise, interesting, and outline the sustainability and creativity of the idea, its impact and the team's plans for implementation.
Each team's five minutes before the judging panel is inclusive of time for questions and answers. We recommend that teams pitch for three minutes and leave two minutes for questions and answers, but teams may divide their five minutes however they see fit.
Sample Pitch
In this exemplary 3 minute pitch the presenter successfully tells a story about her nonprofit organization, Girls and Gangs, and also conveys how her program addresses a need to support young women in the juvenile justice system. She uses her remaining 2 minutes to allow for comments and questions from the judges.
Pitch Rules and Tips
Although only one person presents in the sample pitch (above), you can involve as many members of your team as you wish in the pitch. We have found in the past that some teams only have the team leader speak, while other teams ensure that each team member has a role in presenting. We leave this up to your discretion. Play to your team's strengths; for example, if you have a team member who is an excellent presenter, he/she could deliver the majority of the pitch.
Teams will not have access to a projector or the internet during their presentations. Teams may use other visual aids, but they are discouraged, as they may be a distraction from the pitch, versus an enhancement (e.g., handouts, etc.).
Use this tip sheet to create a strong elevator pitch.

Walking by faith
- Style: Pop Worship
- 6 Songs
- Time: 25 minutes
- Release Date: January 31, 2012
- Label: Independent release
I'm gonna walk by faith, one step closer to you. I will live by faith, in the light of your truth. I'm gonna love by faith, because you first loved me. And fear will have no place. I will live by faith. The chorus to "By Faith" isn't just a catchy hook - it's how Laura Cooksey lives her life. The woman that best-selling author and speaker Angie Smith calls a "truly amazing worship leader" and Todd Smith of Selah calls one of his favorite singers has come a long way from the 5-year-old at a church Christmas musical audition who decided that she wanted to grow up and be a singer. Through the long years of studying vocal performance at Baylor University (and receiving a Bachelor's of Music), singing with a college Christian vocal group, leading worship for E Women and Women of Faith on various tours, singing with artists like Mandisa, Natalie Grant, and Nicole C. Mullen and even recording a theme song for Disney's Cinderella's Castle (Disney World) and the It's a Small World pavilion (Disneyland), one thing has remained constant ... her faith. That faith led her to a solo release, even when what she calls "the voice of practicality and reason" was telling her to stay put right where she was because it was comfortable, helped pay the bills and didn't require any risk.
Impassioned worship with a pop delivery
That risk paid off, for us listeners, in a big way. From the slow tunes that draw you in and wrap you in God's warm embrace to the faster, more upbeat songs that make you smile despite how bleak your day may have started, Laura sings each and every one with a sense of passion that you can't help but feel. Her vocal delivery, which seems absolutely effortless, can go from hushed awe to powerful highs in a blink, putting her talent right up there with some of our greatest female vocalists. You can watch a preview video on YouTube and see first hand that she doesn't need any special effects added to her voice.
I could spend a lot of time ranting and raving over each individual song. I could tear up telling you about "The Love of Christ," with its important message that has vocal talent spilling out all over it. I could wear myself out sharing how "Rest" will hit you where you live, since we've all had times where we are so weary of the world around us that we're not sure how we can take another step. I could smile until my face breaks, while sharing how her cover of "Hosanna" sounds like an angel is singing it. Instead, I'll just tell you to listen for yourself while I hit play again.
Bottom Line - Christian music isn't just about talent. While all music strives to connect listeners to something, Christian music is the one genre of music that makes that connection between you and the throne. With Unshakeable, Laura Cooksey does a wonderful job of showing us how talented she is, but more importantly, she does a tremendous job of connecting us to our Lord and Savior.
Unshakeable Track Listing:
- By Faith
- Unshakeable
- Hosanna
- Rest
- The Love of Christ
- Here We Go

World's Best Product Owner: Evil Genius Steve Jobs
A lot of people confuse product vision with strategy vision for the company. Product vision has to do with crafting a product that is so cool that when people see it they don't understand how they ever lived without it. Most senior management teams have no product vision although for some companies like Apple, and several of OpenView Venture Partners startups, the CEO or the CTO is the product visionary.
Levy's article on the birth of the iPod shows how Steve Jobs hovered over every aspect of the iPod during its creation. He added features, removed features, ordered features, committed to the final dates, and showed up to evangelize the product when it was announced. This is what a Chief Product Owner should do and precious few companies have a good Chief Product Owner.
In my Scrum training, I refer to this article as one that aspiring Product Owners should read. So here is a link so everyone can find it. Product Owner Lesson #1.
The Perfect Thing
Five years ago, Apple engineers used foam core and old fishing weights to craft a model of a new MP3 player. The age of the iPod was about to begin.
By Steven Levy - Wired Magazine 14.11 Nov 2006
In mid-October 2001, I received an invitation to one of Steve Jobs' carefully choreographed, exquisitely casual shows. It was to be held at Apple's headquarters in Cupertino, California, on October 23. The most interesting thing about the invitation was the teasing addendum: "Hint: It's not a Mac." Usually, I would have hopped on a plane to see the latest wrinkle in the consistently fascinating saga of Jobs. His return to Apple was a great business story in itself, but what was novel about his whole career was its unapologetic and unprecedented grafting of 1960s values – everything from rock and roll to cracker-barrel Buddhism – into the corporate world. Jobs was a great salesman, a guy who out-suited the suits when it came to mastering the pulleys and levers of global high tech product development and manufacturing, a chief executive of two companies traded on the Nasdaq (Apple and Pixar Entertainment). But I'd also seen him stroll into his boardroom wearing scissor-cut shorts almost up to his balls and a pair of flip-flops. All of this – the austere authority of a Zen poet, the playfulness of Mick Jagger, and the showmanship of David Copperfield – would be on display at this event. And if history was any guide, the product he unveiled would be worth writing about.

Agile Contracts: Money for Nothing and Your Change for Free
A team was working on the Open Plans Agile Contract Project in 2008. The following general principles were agreed upon.
We mutually agree on working together, and thereby build trust in each others expertise.
Customer Participation in Scrum Team:
The Customer is expected to be active in the project. The role of the Customer includes the following:
1. Prioritize features by business value and have them implemented in order of maximum value
2. Mutually agreed estimates for all work items. The official representatives of both parties need to agree. This needs to be noted in a signed addendum to the contract for each change.
3. Participate in each Sprint planning meeting by discussing the selected features with Company team, including answering questions to provide clarification to the team.
4. Participate in writing the conditions of satisfaction for each feature, so the team and client have a shared definition of when a feature is done. These conditions should be completed as part of a user story before any code is written.
5. Participate in each Sprint review meeting, and provide timely feedback both for both work-in-progress and completed work.
***To company: Things to ensure are defined in the contract:
* Total value of the contract
* Rates for time and materials billing
* Scope of the contract
Clause: Early Termination (Money for Nothing)
The Customer may terminate the contract at the end of any Sprint. The standard metric for termination is when the Customer perceives the cost of continuing the project is higher than the additional value received. The Customer will pay Company 20% of the remaining contract value to exercise early termination.
Company commits to delivering 80% of the project scope as high quality by the agreed upon delivery date. High quality is defined by the agreed upon Definition of Done.
This clause can only be enacted if the Customer maintains Participation in the Team Scrum during the project.
In the event that both parties cannot mutually agree on work item estimates or that the Customer does not maintain participation in the Scrum Team, the contract shall revert to a time and materials billing.
Clause: Change For Free
If the Customer maintains Participation in Scrum Team during the entire project, Customer shall be able to make changes to the Scope without incurring any additional cost if total Scope of contracted work is not changed. New features may be added for free at Sprint boundaries if items of equal scope are removed from the contract.
Clause: Guarantee of Work
Jens Ostergaard: 80% of the functionality of high quality is guaranteed at the fixed price. The 80% of high quality means that you deliver according to your definition of DONE (which is an agreement between customer and supplier on a feature level).
Jeff Sutherland: Vendor assumes the risk of late delivery.
Jens: As to sharing the risk, if you have a confident team who have done this several times you could do what Jeff says. I would however be cautious starting this with a new company, and have some kind of risk sharing. Remember we are in this together and do the best we can. Customer knows what they want built, supplier knows how to get there, and both parties need to recognize that we have to work together.

Jeff Sutherland started the first Scrum at Easel Corporation in 1993. He worked with Ken Schwaber to emerge Scrum as a formal process at OOPSLA '95. Together, they extended and enhanced Scrum at many software companies and IT organizations and helped write the Agile Manifesto.
Jeff is the CEO of Scrum, Inc. powered by OpenView Venture Partners and Agile coach to the OpenView venture group which runs all its internal operations with Scrum, as well as their portolio of software companies. As Senior Advisor to OpenView he focuses on using Scrum to transform companies as well as empower software developers. In his last position as CTO of PatientKeeper, his Scrum implementation was the key to quadrupled revenue in 2007. OpenView is using Scrum to create similar high performance portfolio companies. Jeff will share the secret sauce that helps development teams radically improve productivity and quality while providing a more rewarding and fun working environment for developers.
Jeff spends one week a month working directly with development teams in OpenView portfolio companies. This gives him continuous hands on experience in implementing Scrum and helping to improve engineering practices. The other three weeks a month he does consulting and training for companies worldwide. As Chairman of the Scrum Training Institute he leads one of the largest global Scrum training organizations.
You can learn from Dr. Sutherland's experience as consultant to the world's leading companies. Their experience can help make your Scrum implementation world class. Jeff's clients include: Google, Yahoo, Microsoft, IBM, Oracle, MySpace, Adobe, GE, Siemens, BellSouth, GSI Commerce, Ulticom, Palm, St. Jude Medical, DigiChart, RosettaStone, Healthwise, Sony/Ericson, Accenture, Trifork, Systematic Software Engineering, Exigen Services, SirsiDynix, Softhouse, Philips, Barclays Global Investors, Constant Contact, Wellogic, Inova Solutions, Medco, Saxo Bank, Xebia, Insight.com, SolutionsIQ, Crisp, Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory, Motley Fool, Planon, OpenView Venture Partners, Jyske Bank, BEC, Camp Scrum, DotWay AB, Ultimate Software, Danube, Rally Development, Version One, Scrum Training Institute, AtTask, Intronis, Version One, OpenView Labs, Central Desktop, Open-E, Zmags, eEye, Reality Digital, DST, Booz Allen Hamilton, and many other companies.
Jeff is an expert on distributed/outsourced Scrum (see Agile 2008) and on implementing Scrum in a CMMI Level 5 company. As CTO/VP of Engineering of nine software companies, he has created, scaled and distributed Scrum using his companies as laboratories for continuous process improvement. His last company, PatientKeeper is run by a MetaScrum, and is one of the most advanced implementations of Scrum worldwide. Mary Poppendieck, in her latest book on Lean Software Development, comments:
"Five years ago a killer application emerged in the health care industry: Give doctors access to patient information on a PDA. Today there is no question which company won the race to dominate this exploding market; PatientKeeper has overwhelmed its competition with its capability to bring new products and features to market just about every week. The sixty or so technical people produce more software than many organizations several times larger, and they do not show any sign that the size of their code base is slowing them down.
"A key strategy that has kept PatientKeeper at the front of the pack is an emphasis on unprecedented speed in delivering new features. It will not surprise anyone who understands Lean that PatientKeeper has to maintain superb quality in order to support its rapid delivery. CTO Jeff Sutherland explains it this way:
"Rapid cycle time:
- Increases learning tremendously
- Eliminates buggy software because you die if you don't fix this.
- Fixes the install process because you die if you have to install 45 releases this year and install is not easy.
- Improves the upgrade process because there is a constant flow of upgrades that are mandatory. Makes upgrades easy.
- Forces quick standardization of software via new features rather than customization and one off.
- Forces implementation of sustainable pace. You die a death of attrition without it.
- Allows waiting to build new functionality until there are 4-5 customers who pay for it. This is counterintuitive, and caused by the fact everything is ready within 90 days."
"I find that the vast majority of organizations are still trying to do too much stuff, and thus find themselves thrashing. The only organization I know of which has really solved this is PatientKeeper." Mary Poppendieck
In Jeff's courses, participants learn how to stop thrashing and improve performance along with everything necessary for getting started with Scrum. There are very few rules to Scrum so it is important to learn its fundamental principles by experiencing them directly from those who have implemented the best Scrums in the software industry. Participants gain hands-on practice with the release backlog, sprint backlog, the daily Scrum meeting, tracking progress with a burndown chart, and more. Participants experience the Scrum process through a "59-minute Scrum" and the "XP Game" which simulate Scrum projects through non-technical group exercises.
Dr. Sutherland's training is helpful to every employee in a Scrum company. Most of his Openview portfolio companies use Scrum in sales, marketing, finance, or in the senior management team, so you will often see these people in his classes. Every developer can benefit by getting a thorough grounding in Scrum basics. Some of Jeff's companies send every employee, including adminstrative assistants to his courses. These companies always experience radical growth and profitability when everyone in on the same page with the Scrum process. In addition, many Certified ScrumMasters use his courses as a refresher as they often contain advanced material depending on who is in the class. CSMs and CSPs may attend his training at reduced rates.

Scrum Gathering Stockholm: Pretty Good Scrum
I'll be doing a Certified ScrumMaster training with Henrik Kniberg on Thursday and Friday. You can still sign up for the course!
I'm beginning to incorporate learnings from OpenView Venture Partners portfolio companies. I meet with many of the companies once a month to review progress on their impediment backlog for improving their Scrum implementation. They will aggressively try new things and report back the next month on what happened, making them an excellent laboratory for validating and improving the Scrum experience.
OpenView Venture Partners runs all of their internal operations with Scrum teams so when our senior partners attend board meetings of the companies, they can thoughtfully examine the state of each Scrum implementation. They are mainly concerned about senior management understanding the velocity of their teams so their release plans make sense. And they want to know how many impediments the management removed since the last board meeting to help the teams increase velocity while simultaneously improving quality.
