Spicy Chips, Ahoy!
and, Only Brand-Name Drugs For Me
I wrote recently about how Blair's Death Rain was probably the only contender for the "America's Favorite Spicy Chip!" crown.
Just coming from dinner at Speedway, I can tell you that Lay's has an entry I found quite good. It's called... wait for it... "Flamin' Hot."
Maybe it's been around awhile, I don't know. But any hot chip I've had been not-so-hot. With this, there was a bit of an afterburn. Nice.
In Other News:
Apart from the fact that the drug Requip has a side effect that results in "sudden strong gambling or sexual urges," I must say I do like the name. Is drug-name-comer-up-with-er a job? Because I think I'd be good at it. That'll be my next post, I think. Let me get to thinkin' on that.
Some drug names create portmanteaux: Re-equip=Requip. (Or maybe it's simply stating a witty remark twice?) Prevent Acid=Prevacid. Singular Air (?)=Singulair.
Some drug names just evoke a feeling: Zoloft makes me want to float away. Zyrtec seems futuristic. Claritin says, well, clarity.
So, stay tuned. Especially if you're a drug-namer. Pure gold is on its way, first-come, first-served. I also want to look into the drug-naming industry. Anyone have any resources?

Lockheed Martin Strengthens Ties With Small, Diverse Suppliers Through New Channel
BETHESDA, Md., Feb. 28, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Suppliers are critical to success at Lockheed Martin [NYSE: LMT], yet they are often the first impacted in a challenging economy. In order to strengthen the company's interaction with these small businesses and provide them additional opportunities, Lockheed Martin has introduced a supplier-focused website called Supplier Wire (http://www.lockheedmartin.com/supplierwire).
Supplier Wire offers a wide range of educational resources, including free webinars, video tips and supplier testimonials designed to help small businesses learn how to build, sustain and expand their business with the corporation. The site also features resources on immediate procurement opportunities; information on what Lockheed Martin buys, including a listing of corporate agreements with expiration dates; and a calendar of Lockheed Martin's supplier diversity events.
"With the launch of Supplier Wire, Lockheed Martin once again demonstrates why it is a leader in supplier relations," said Charles Ramos, chief executive officer and president of CR Dynamics & Associates, Inc., and Lockheed Martin supplier. "Supplier Wire takes an innovative approach to identifying and connecting small businesses with the appropriate procurement and business development personnel. This is a refreshing experience for any vendor—especially a small business looking to launch a relationship with Lockheed Martin."
To directly engage with small businesses, Supplier Wire will offer live chat sessions allowing firms to interact with subject matter experts and get answers to real-time questions. In addition, the site contains information on how to seek a partner on a proposal pursuit and how to get added to the Small Business Innovation Research directory.
"Lockheed Martin is committed to small businesses and we continuously search for better methods to educate and engage with qualified diverse suppliers through more affordable solutions," said Susannah Raheb, Lockheed Martin Corporate Supplier Diversity Leader. "Supplier Wire allows us to reach a targeted audience and strengthen our relationships through enhanced connections in a virtual environment."
In 2012, Lockheed Martin awarded $6.4 billion in contracts to small businesses and businesses classified as diverse. This amounts to approximately one third of the corporation's total purchase order commitments. For the second year in a row, the corporation exceeded Department of Defense goals and received an "outstanding" rating—the highest level given by the Defense Contract Management Agency.
Headquartered in Bethesda, Md., Lockheed Martin is a global security and aerospace company that employs about 120,000 people worldwide and is principally engaged in the research, design, development, manufacture, integration, and sustainment of advanced technology systems, products, and services. The Corporation's net sales for 2012 were $47.2 billion.

(Source: By Debra Gruszecki, The Press-Enterprise, Riverside, Calif. (MCT) – Foreclosures in the first half of the year eased up by 2 percent from the previous six months, and overall activity for property in distress in June was down on a year-over-year basis for the 21st consecutive month across the U.S.
Yet, California foreclosure starts for June rose 18 percent from a year ago to boost the Golden State to the top berth in the U.S., according to a report released today, July 12, by RealtyTrac.
It was the first time California's foreclosure rate ranked No. 1 since January 2005 when RealtyTrac, the online marketer of foreclosure properties, began issuing its report.
One housing unit in every 177 in San Bernardino and Riverside counties was in a phase of foreclosure in June, RealtyTrac reported. That has kept the two-county Inland area in the No. 3 spot for foreclosure activity across all metropolitan areas.
The top two regions were Stockton and Modesto.
In the Inland area, RealtyTrac reported a total of 8,477 foreclosure filings in June, up 1 percent from May but down 20 percent from the year before. There were 1,713 notices of mortgage default mailed in June in San Bernardino County, and 2,443 in June across Riverside County. In the two Inland counties, a total of 1,539 properties were taken over by banks or other lenders.
Brandon Moore, chief executive of RealtyTrac, an online marketer of foreclosure properties, said in a statement that additional scrutiny on how lenders and service providers process foreclosures, plus aggressive foreclosure prevention efforts by federal and state governments, have kept a lid on the foreclosure problem.
At the same time, Moore said, foreclosure starts began boiling over in more markets in the first half of the year, particularly in the second quarter. Those increases will likely translate into more short sales and bank repossessions through 2012 and 2013, he said.
For the first half of 2012, California registered the nation's fourth highest rate in America, with 213,988 housing units — 1.5 percent — in some state of foreclosure.

I have to wait 20 minutes in between each question I ask on Stack Overflow. If I had more reputation would this period be lessened or removed?
To answer your question directly, I was able to submit two questions within two minutes, so apparently the rate limit on asking questions is reduced/removed at some point. (Possibly when you're elected moderator.) However, as indicated in the comments, it really does take some time to craft a quality question that can be reasonably answered. (I had to tinker around the quality filter to get two questions in so fast.) Twenty minutes is a reasonable time to wait. |

Market Structure, Price Pass-Through and Welfare with Differentiated Products
There is considerable literature on price pass-through modeling. This literature has focused on pass-through of cost shocks for homogenous products. To get results with the homogenous products case, empirical implementation has required the maintained hypothesis of competition, or agreement, in quantity modeling. A major contribution of this paper is modeling pass-through for a differentiated products market under the maintained hypothesis of price competition or price agreement. We estimate a mixed logit model for U.S processed cheese market using unbalanced panel data and implement a price pass through simulation and related consumer welfare analysis under different regimes of competition.Download Info

Super Mario 3DS feels like Galaxy, but without the planets and gravity-play. We're really excited to see how clever the level design will be in the game, and judging from our hands-on we need not worry. Best of all? Super Mario 3DS will see a release before the end of the year.

David Riesenberg's concept of a Canon ILC is exactly what we'd want in a mirrorless camera
Canon is one of the last major manufacturers to hold off jumping on the ILC bandwagon — but if they were to, this is what I'd like to see them do. This stunning concept is the Canon AE-D by David Riesenberg, who has crafted one of the more realistic concepts we've seen in a long time. Heavily influenced by the classic Canon AE-1 and AE-1P, Riesenberg referenced their classic and simple designs with this work.
The Holga D concept combines the simplicity of lomo with a digital sensor
This concept by Saikat Biswas combines two things people love to hate: lomo and concept renders. The Holga D is a concept that takes the simple controls and form of the Holga, and adds a digital sensor. In order to simplify the idea, Biswas' design removed many of the features and buttons associated with digital photography. There's no rear LCD, no way to see your photos as you take them, and only a handful of shutter speeds and ISOs, controlled with small dials. In order to save battery, the only screen is a small e-ink display showing the current settings. Biswas also posited used old generation, full-frame or APS-C sensors to keep the cost down.
Should camera design take a page from camcorders?
Designer Jean-michel Bonnemoy thinks that we're holding cameras all wrong. After all, modern camera design is very much a holdover from when cameras still needed to hold a roll of film, but with modern optics and tiny sensors, why bother being stuck on that form factor? As detailed at YankoDesign, his concept for the D-CAM is essentially that of an eye-level scope, with controls embedded on the side.
This crazy concept takes a modular digital camera to a whole new level
Designed by Steve Sangik Lee, the Digimo is a concept for a camera with that lets you control multiple modular lenses from a single base unit. Like so many design concepts, it might not ever make it into production, but there's some interesting ideas there.
This concept design marries both lens cap and lens hood into a single device, opened with a simple twist.
Designed for the 2011 Spark Awards, the Flower marries two things you probably already have on the front of your lens — the lens cap and the lens hood. This concept was put together by Rhie Hyi Joong & Lee Sang Hwa, and would make use of a semi-rigid material for the individual blades around the cap. A threaded ring at the base of the Flower could be twisted, opening or closing the iris as required.

Home Cookein'. PENS WIN.
Let's get it out there right now.
We don't feel bad about the Marc Savard hit.
We don't care about the Marc Savard hit.
You know why? Because we can see into the future. It comes with the territory of being part of the fanbase of the World Champs: The time will come when a Penguin is the victim of this type of hit, and whoever made the hit would be championed all across the Internet. We wake up every day preparing for that.
It was kind of sad on Sunday night reading stuff about the hit as we were making our rounds on the Internet. 95% of the coverage is coming from people who haven't watched more than 3 entire Pens games this season. They watch "NHL ON THE FLY" while looking at a box score and think they have a grasp on what the Penguins are all about.
Any Pens fan reading this right now has more than likely watched every game Matt Cooke has played as a Penguin. He plays the game on the edge, no question about that. But is he dirty? Nah. If we noticed him cruising around looking for cheapshots every game, we'd be the first people to mention it and make a photoshop about it. Bloggers everywhere will try to astonish you with stories of rituals and dazzle you with official-sounding terms like "repeat offender" and "code red." They might even cut into a few third-line grinders for you. But there's nothing else to talk about on their clichéd soapbox.
But this was a headshot. No doubt about it whatsoever.
It sucks to see hits like this take a player out; for any player to get injured, period.
(Pay no attention to fans from other cities wishing for Crosby to tear his ACL.)
Headshots have no place in the game.
But you know who else doesn't have a place in the game?
Matt Cooke...if he doesn't attempt a hit on Savard here.
There is a fevered competition on the Penguins' bottom two lines that has just kicked into high gear.
And Matt Cooke doesn't really light the lamp. He's on the team for a specific reason.
If he shirks away from delivering a hit, it is noticed in the film room.
Some thoughts:
1. -- Cooke is bearing down on Savard. Savard is taking the shot. By no means are we blaming Savard, but how can you expect any player in Matt Cooke's position to stop. What is Matt Cooke supposed to do? It's clear to anyone watching the video that Matt Cooke was preparing to hit Savard before Savard put himself into a vulnerable position.
2. -- People are quick to compare this to the Mike Richards hit on David Booth.
The Richards hit was 150% more brutal than this one.
Dirty, vicious elbow by Matt Cooke on Marc Savard to his blind side after he shot a puck at the Pittsburgh net. Just no regard for the health and well-being of another player right there. Replays showed Cooke lowered an elbow that smashed directly into Savard's head when he had his head turned away from the Penguins forward. The elbow knocked Savard right down to the ice. Savard was down for 10 minutes and trainers had to take the playmaking center off on a stretcher. Somehow there wasn't a penalty called on the play, but there's no way Cooke gets off without a lengthy suspension. That is the kind of play that the NHL is trying to rid their sport of, and it's yet another injury that the B's can't afford.
4. -- If you're coming here looking for us to wag the finger at Matt Cooke, sorry, you've got the wrong place. As we mentioned before, a player putting a hit like this on a Penguin, be it Crosby or Malkin, would have YouTube tribute videos made about him, all the while people would call Crosby a pussy or something.
But Karma makes its own rules.
Will Boston upset Pittsburgh in a first-round playoff matchup?
If the Hockey Gods are upset, we'll eventually know about it.
You think the Bruins are going to play a clean game on March 18th when the Pens play in Boston? They'll jump Cooke, and the Pens will go on the powerplay. It will be 3-0 before fat-ass Tim Thomas can muster up the fortitude to complain. Thanks for the 2 points in advance.
Cooke will probably get suspended 5-10 games.
Good. Rest up for the playoffs.
It gives a chance for Disco to juggle some lines and shit.
And this whole incident was a shame because it took away from a well played game. Playoff-like pace.
Pens could have won 10-1.
The Pens Magic Number.
The number of points they need to clinch a playoff berth.
Look at the standings.
Imagine every team wins the rest of their games.
wsh -- 130
pens -- 116
buf -- 115
njd -- 115
ott -- 109
phi -- 108
bos -- 105
atl -- 102
9th -- tb -- 101
10th -- mtl -- 100
pens -- 116
buf -- 115
njd -- 115
ott -- 109
phi -- 108
bos -- 105
atl -- 102
9th -- tb -- 101
10th -- mtl -- 100
Quick math says Tampa Bay's potential point total would be 101.
It would be the 9th-highest total in the Conference.
Finishing ahead of the 9th place team means you make the playoffs.
Don't worry about the Pens tying the 8th seed.
Pens already occupy one of the 8 spots, so it's moot.
The Pens sitting with 84 points means they only need 18 more points to reach 102 points.
There's tiebreaking scenarios we don't feel like getting into.
So let's just be safe and forecast it as 1 point above the 9th seed.
And the Devils lost.
The Devils have 2 games in hand on the Pens but are 5 points back.
Pens are finally atop the Atlantic Division.

Crosby was flying early.
Dished it to Koon and did the center drive.
Sid looked primed to snag a puck from the air and put it home.
But Thomas and his silver medal thwarted it.
Then came the Penguin parade to the box.
Orpik was up first.

Pens bench = not happy.
But the Pens killed that first penalty.
FSN then wants you to vote on your favorite Penguins forward line.
Crosby-Malkin-Sykora apparently was a line long enough to merit inclusion in this vote?
Who comes up with these polls? Even worse -- Who particpates in polls anymore?
Pens were heading to the box again for something.
Pens were heading to the box again for something.
Disco not pleased.
Kennedy was everywhere in the first period.
More aggressive than Big Ben in a bathroom stall in the south.

More aggressive than Big Ben in a bathroom stall in the south.
At the end of the first, Thomas feels a tug on his leg and falls faster than Team USA.
Penalty bridges to the second period.
No word if David Letterman called to ask Crosby to fill in for him during intermission.
Pens kill that one.
Then they go to the box yet again.
By this point, we didn't care who was the guilty party.
Mark Reechi is on the Bruins #1 powerplay unit.
And finally the Bruins capitalize.
In a nod to our high school years, the intent to blow was simply not there, even though we begged.
Like clockwork, the Pens get the next PP.
It looked like it actually surprised them, though, and they couldn't do much.
The game was taking on that familiar afternoon-game feeling.
Then Pascal Dupuis goes to work.
He takes a pass from Bing and just starts banging the puck in the crease.
No intent to blow again.
Goal. 1-1.
Dupes probably could have had 4 goals. He was everywhere.
Andy Sutton got a two-game suspension for eliminating Dupuis earlier this year.
just sayin
After a skirmish, there was some sweet 4-on-4 action.
Dupuis almost ended the world.
Great 2-minute stretch.
Early in the third, the Pens stake claim to the W.
Malkin cruises in.
Looks like he loses the puck. Net.
On the replay, Malkin actually fakes the drop pass.
Just a sick deke. Don't sleep on the center drive by Poni.
job job job job
Business started picking up in the last 10 minutes of the period.
MAF coming up with some stops. Bruins jobbing people.
After the final commercial break in the third...
The hit really sucked the life out of the game.
Pens held the fort after that. MAF was like Visa the rest of the way.
We're just happy David Copperfield is back in town.

Stephen Drew to postpone all ballroom dancing classes for six to nine months with a fractured ankle. His wife Nancy isn't gonna be happy. More time for mystery solving! If you haven't seen the video of Stephen Drew, I'd wait for it on the big screen in Faces of Death: The Drew Edition, which will also feature J.D.
Please, blog, may I have some more?Wilson Betemit
Wilson Betemit – When Wilson Betemit was 15, the Atlanta Braves signed him to a contract. He hit .212/.270/.283 in his first year at rookie ball and .220/.301/.399 his second year. He was just 16.
The following year he got his act together as an enterprising 17-year-old posting an admirable .320/.383/.463 line.
Please, blog, may I have some more?Not that there's anything wrong about being from NJ. Both Rudy and I are proud to be from NJ, though not in NJ. NJ ex-pats are great. We spread our love of high-haired women and capicola around the country. As for Jay Bruce, he's sucking on the ol' suckhole. You can say that again, but please don't just say it again cause that's lame; I really don't like when people do that.
Please, blog, may I have some more?Josh Hamilton left the game with a fracture to his humerus bone, which isn't connected to the funny bone. He was going down the line head first into home and… Well, he's Mr. Glass, so what do you expect? Ron Washington can't believe anyone could ever get hurt going down a line head first. "Nothing but fun to be had there!" That's Washington talking about the devil's dandruff. I think Kinsler, Cruz and Hamilton share gloves so one of them must always be on the DL. This opens up playing time for David Murphy. I've long been a fan of Murph. Has 15/15 potential and won't kill you in any categories. I'd grab him in all leagues. Yeah, even yours. Anyway, here's what else I saw yesterday in fantasy baseball:
Chris Davis – With the injury to Hamilton, Davis was recalled. Somewhere, Bill James can now wear his cut-off, denim shorts and proudly show off his tramp stamp tattoo that reads, "I love Chris Davis." Without an injury, I can't imagine Davis gets much playing time, but he's still worth a pick up in AL-Only leagues for the off chance of him pulling magic out of his hat.
Please, blog, may I have some more?Doesn't Danny Valencia sound like a bad actor's stage name? "For my audition, I'm going to do the scene 'Eating the Old 96er' from The Great Outdoors." Okay, try not to choke. (Quick side note: My aunt used to date Danny Aiello. But not Danny Aiello, the actor. A different Danny Aiello. It was like McDowell's vs.
Please, blog, may I have some more?Oh, Hanley Ramirez is Hanley Ramirez, and a guy that will play a bit bruised giving it his all is a guy that will play a bit bruised giving it his all, and never the twain shall meet. (I think a "twain" is a train as pronounced by Elmer Fudd. Don't quote me on that though. It could be referring to Shania. My Google's broke so I'm shooting from the hip.) Hanley playing with Pujols' level of dedication is probably the best shortstop anyone has ever seen. Hanley as he is now is probably Andruw Jones in five years. As I've said before about Manny, insouciance doesn't age well. Hanley hasn't played since last Wednesday, but for now he's listed as day-to-day. Half of me says hold out hope for Hanley to return ASAP. The other half of me says he has 2 homers and 4 steals this month. You can probably find that production elsewhere in the last two weeks. Since Hanley is undroppable in most formats, it's all probably moot. Anyway, here's what else I saw yesterday in fantasy baseball:
Chris Volstad – 9 IP, 0 ER, 7 baserunners, 3 Ks as he handily beat Carpenter (6 IP, 4 ER, 7 baserunners, 6 Ks) and the Cardinals. I'll tell ya what, when the Cards fold, they don't play.
Please, blog, may I have some more?Before the NAAPP, National Association for the Advancement of Polish People, write me, it's not Polish, it's polish. Pa-lish. Not Pole-lish… Oh, forget it. David Murphy has a hit in every game this month and, with Hamilton out, he's playing every day. In the month of September, he has a .380 average, 2 homers, 3 steals, 10 RBIs and 7 instances of "Who the hell is David Murphy?" from fantasy owners. Texas Rangers media guide has him listed as "That Guy" and a picture of William Fichtner. When Murphy goes to the plate, there's no song playing. Know why? Cause he's unsung! Thank you, don't forget to tip your waitresses. I know the prevailing thought with Murphy is he's a platoon player, but why does that have to be Murphy's Law? Well, because he can't hit lefties usually but he is right now, so, like a trophy wife, own while hot. Anyway, here's some more players to buy or sell this week in fantasy baseball:
Emilio Bonifacio – If you picked up Bonifacio in April of 2009 in your keeper then were abducted by aliens, your team's looking good again. The Xavier Nady pickup doesn't look too bad either. Though you may want to switch out Cantu.
Please, blog, may I have some more?So far in this month of September, Troy Tulowitzki has 11 homers and 27 RBIs. This is Hungrybear9562 owning Tulo in a H2H league this month — It's a DOUBLE HOME RUN! All the way across the sky! OH. MY. GOD. A double home run. Wait, is this a triple home run? No, it's a double home run. It's beautiful. *cries* The only thing ever holding Tulo back is health. If Tulo can stay healthy for an entire year… Well, look at his 2009 stats — 32 homers, 20 steals and a .297 average. Next year, he'll only be 26-years-old and hitters tend not to peak until the age of 27. Yum with a double shot of gimme. Anyway, here's what else I saw yesterday in fantasy baseball:
Eric Young Jr.
Please, blog, may I have some more?Yesterday, Ozzie Guillen said, "Bobby's not my closer right now, he's not, I'm very happy with Chris Sale. I'm not saying (Jenks has) lost his job, I have to wait to see to put him in the game to see how he's doing… It might take a little while, maybe one day, two days, three days… a week. Unless I find out Chris Sale is Asian, then I'm gonna make him work for it." The last line was inferred. Sale's been lights out since his call up — 0.57 ERA in 15 2/3 IP with 21 Ks. The manager says he's the closer, so I'm gonna say Sale's the closer. It's obviously not as easy as that when Ozzie's involved. The wind could change directions, Ozzie's weather vane that's labeled with Putz, Jenks, Thornton and Sale could spin and someone else could be the closer by tomorrow. As of right now, I'd grab Sale. Anyway, here's what else I saw yesterday in fantasy baseball:
Jimmy Rollins – Sounds like he's done for the regular season, or at least until very close to the end of the year. Rollins said, "Studies show, even if it's a mild hamstring, even though the doctors like to say 7-to-10 days, it's usually three weeks." Studies, yeah. Studies of Jimmy Rollins.
Please, blog, may I have some more?'Uh-oh' doesn't really do the sight of Stephen Strasburg throwing a pitch and shaking his elbow in pain. Word is now he might go see Dr. Freeze. Usually a visit to Dr. Freeze means the pitcher will be out for at least a year. I think a visit to Dr.
Please, blog, may I have some more?

Implementation Model: Linking Energy Efficiency to Performance-based Compensation
Organization Type
Primary and fabricated aluminum manufacturer
Energy performance improvement crowded out by other business priorities
Link energy efficiency achievement to performance based compensation for Alcoa business leaders
Alcoa businesses are increasing their focus on energy efficiency and steadily reducing energy intensity to meet long-term sustainability goals
Alcoa uses its leadership performance pay program to reward business leaders who successfully implement energy-saving projects. This financial incentive is designed to make energy efficiency a higher priority within Alcoa's business units and help achieve corporate energy and sustainability goals.
In most companies, energy efficiency projects must compete for funding and management attention with projects that increase production, improve safety, address regulatory compliance, and enhance profitability. Alcoa has addressed this barrier to energy efficiency by setting long-term corporate energy goals and linking energy performance to the company's incentive compensation structure for business executives. By providing financial rewards to business leaders who set aggressive energy reduction goals and successfully achieve those targets, Alcoa is helping ensure energy efficiency initiatives receive adequate attention from senior leaders, even as they juggle other critical business priorities.
In 2010, Alcoa began compensating its business leaders for their achievements in meeting energy efficiency targets. Alcoa's CEO championed this linkage between energy performance and compensation to improve corporate energy performance and better integrate Alcoa's long-term sustainability approach into all aspects of its business strategy and operations.
Alcoa provides performance-based incentive pay to reward and compensate a wide range of employees at all levels of the company—from corporate executives to business level management to production level management and production line management. At Alcoa, performance-based pay, or variable compensation, is determined by a formula based on overall company performance and a qualitative evaluation of individual performance. Company performance is based on a combination of financial and non-financial goals.
In 2010, Alcoa's CEO classified energy efficiency, as well as other sustainability metrics, as one of the non-financial goals for use in calculating variable compensation. In 2011, up to 20% of Alcoa's variable compensation was tied to achieving significant aspects of sustainability targets, including safety, workforce diversity, and reductions in carbon dioxide emissions due to process improvements and improved energy efficiency. These financial incentives create a clear link between employee actions and business unit results, helping Alcoa enhance its corporate energy performance and promote a culture of energy efficiency throughout the organization.
Alcoa's executive compensation plan is a key element of a broader strategy to integrate improved energy performance practices into the company's core business strategy. The plan incentivizes business leaders to set and achieve energy reduction targets that are linked to the company's overall energy goals.
Alcoa established a four step process to set and meet these goals:
1. Set Corporate and Business-Level Energy Targets
In 2011, Alcoa set the following long-term, corporate-level strategic energy reduction targets:
- 10% reduction in the energy intensity of Global Primary Products by 2020 and 15% by 2030, both by a 2005 baseline; and
- 20% reduction in the energy intensity of all other businesses (Global Rolled Products and Engineered Products and Solutions) by 2020 and 30% by 2030, also from a 2005 baseline.
Alcoa has three major businesses: Primary Products, Rolled Products, and Engineered Products and Services. To support the corporate level targets, each Alcoa business sets annual energy intensity reduction goals and determines how these will be measured and calculated. These annual targets are linked to the overall sustainability goals for the corporation and are typically contrasted against the previous year. Corporate-level financial leaders (controllers) review and approve these targets, which are then communicated to sub-businesses and locations. Each business (and some sub-businesses) appoints an energy leader—a person with direct responsibility for promoting energy reduction initiatives and meeting targets at the plant level—to coordinate efficiency efforts and ensure projects are on schedule.
2. Determine Contribution to Incentive Pay
Business units are given autonomy to determine the extent to which energy efficiency performance will contribute to incentive pay of employees within that business. For example, Alcoa Recycling may choose to make energy efficiency count towards 3% of employee incentive pay, whereas Alcoa Building and Construction Systems may make it 5%. Once set within the business, the weighting applies equally to all employees. In other words, energy efficiency performance does not make up a larger or smaller percentage of incentive pay for different employees based on the individual's responsibilities.
3. Monitor Initiatives
Alcoa has set up an energy spend reduction team, which includes representatives from each business unit—typically the financial controller, the energy leader, and the energy services group. Other ad hoc members such as procurement staff take part when needed. Every month, the team reviews energy reduction initiatives using a common project implementation tool to assist with completion. The tool specifies the project, timing, savings and responsible person. Projects or initiatives are approved at the business level, but can be approved at the individual plant or department level if they fall below specific cost thresholds, which vary from business to business.
4. Track Progress
Energy Intensity calculations are performed each month and communicated to the energy group and leader in each business. The team reviews the data to track and ensure progress.
Tools & Resources
Alcoa's global energy database is a valuable tool that supports energy intensity performance of each Alcoa business. It contains utility information that is entered from all business invoices when received, and therefore captures true energy consumption for every location globally. Alcoa's open project implementation tool is used to track and monitor the status of all energy projects. Additionally, Alcoa has established a standalone energy services group, which provides expert resources to assist locations in identifying and executing energy saving opportunities. Tools provided by the energy services group include energy standard practices, energy kaizen events (in-depth energy audits that search for low-cost opportunities), energy assessments, technical consultation, and reporting assistance.
Sustainability scorecards are also used to align sustainability targets with business strategy across every business and provide a dashboard to measure progress against key near-term sustainability metrics. Each business has also developed a roadmap to lay out the process steps, business decisions, and technical improvements necessary year-by-year to realize the longer-term objectives on energy efficiency and sustainability that it had committed to deliver.
Measuring Success
A rigorous computation was established to calculate energy intensity including the baseline year level. The calculation is performed by each business with approval from the business controller. At some Alcoa businesses, DOE's Energy Performance Indicator tool (EnPI 3.0) is used to help establish a normalized baseline of energy consumption and track annual progress of intensity improvements. Overall success is measured by achievement of the energy reduction target, and progress toward the target is communicated periodically to all levels of management.
Alcoa established a measurement and verification policy for its 2010 operating plan. The strategy requires that each business:
- Determine a measure of energy intensity (typically GJ per metric ton of product).
- Report energy consumption data to a centralized database.
- Identify where production numbers reside and if any normalization is to be applied.
- Formulate parameters for calculating energy intensity; there are also regional differences in the calculation.
In 2011, Alcoa's Global Primary Products business reduced its total energy intensity 2% against its 2005 baseline, positioning it to meet the 10% reduction goal by 2020. The Global Rolled Products (see chart below) business achieved an 8% decline compared to baseline, while Engineered Products and Solutions realized a 7% decrease compared to 2010.
Energy Intensity—Global Rolled Products
Gigajoules per metric ton of aluminum produced
Quantifying the precise link between Alcoa's energy efficiency results and its incentive pay plan is challenging; however, Alcoa has noticed increased attention to energy saving projects since energy efficiency was more clearly integrated with employee compensation. For example, Alcoa's energy services group is receiving a growing number of requests from business leaders interested in reviewing opportunities to save energy and meet their energy efficiency targets. Alcoa estimates that the number of energy cost reduction activities has increased by about 50% since 2009—the year before energy efficiency targets were explicitly linked to incentive pay. The incentive pay was not the sole factor driving this increase, but it did have an effect, according to Alcoa. Additionally, several sub-businesses have requested energy kaizens at their locations to help uncover low-cost energy saving opportunities.
While business leaders are focusing greater attention on energy projects, they are also employing different ways to achieve reductions. For the Global Primary Products business unit, management has focused on smart manufacturing—the integration of machine gathered data, analysis, and process simulation to conserve energy and optimize production outputs. In the Global Rolled Products business, a number of projects focused on improving metal pre-heating and casting to reduce energy. In many cases, the establishment of Alcoa's Centers of Excellence (COE) has played a key role. These Centers are set up at each business unit and focus expertise and resources to specific areas, such as energy, casting, rolling and technology.

LITTLE SOCKS: A True Story - PART IIIDecember 31st 2011 11:19 am[ View A Comments (4) ]
When you live in a small village, anything new tends to attract attention and comment. Certainly, a little kitten sitting in the display window of a vacant business didn't go unnoticed! The Papa first saw Little Socks when he came to work after Christmas. This was on Tuesday. Though the sight was startling, he remembered having seen the kitten out roaming before, and assumed it must have found a way to come and go from the old building. He can be excused, we hope, for not being too concerned. After all, there have always been cats - and dogs, for that matter - loose around the tiny, somewhat quirky, backwoods village. When he looked again later, the kitten was gone, presumably back to where it came from. Yay! Little Socks must have been so happy to see Mama and Papa! And fellow kitties! And food!! :-) Can't wait for the next part of the story!!! Oh my gosh we re so loving the story. Moma loves kittens and kitties, no really really loves them like little people MOL we are headed off to read the conclusion. thanks for my prizzie and for remembering my trucker story. Bring her in! Just catching up on the last three installments... |

Product Type: Skoda cars
Newest Review: ... to sum up, if you're looking for a good value family sized hatchback, you could do a lot worse than the Skoda Felicia. And for those who... more
To me they are Luxury
Skoda Felicia 1.3 55 HP
Member Name: marco69uk
Skoda Felicia 1.3 55 HP
Date: 22/05/01, updated on 28/05/01 (591 review reads)
Advantages: Cheap, Lots of Extras
Disadvantages: Skoda Name, Bit underpowered
I am about to come to the end of a years, virtually, trouble free motoring after purchasing a 'P' reg Skoda Felica Gli last summer.
After being given £3,000 to spend 'on a car' (yes lucky me!) and looking around the local dealers etc for a something new looking, (as to me that is a lot of money to spend on a second hand vehicle). I was drawn to the little local Skoda dealership, which I passed every day on the way to take the kids to school.
"They're not bad looking little cars" we had always used to say, looking at the modern looking VW lookalikes with their smart new style Skoda badges. Most with one elderly owner with full service histories (really!)
A short test drive confirmed what I had always thought.
Although a little under powered they are a pleasure to drive with plenty a room inside for a small car. For the price you do not get luxury, unless like me you would normally spend £800 max on a car and then central locking; sun roof; decent stereo cassette player and interior trim that would match any car in it's class, is luxury.
Having traded in a Mkll Astra Estate I was a bit concerned about boot space etc being a keen DIYer. Obviously a hatchback is going to be have trouble competing with an estate but with the back seats removed you have the space of a small van. Even for a quick trip to the DIY shop is accommodated by the split rear seats and I have had 2 kids and five 6' planks of wood in the car at the same time.
As I said at the beginning it has been virtually trouble free. Not being used to the fuel injection system I tended to press the accelerator when restarting after a stall, which resulted in a few times sitting for 10-15 minutes in a dead Skoda the height of embarrassment. Obviously my tip would be don't. Leave it a few seconds then turn it over without touching the accelerator. I have had no more trouble. Other than spending
£40 on a 6-month service it has not cost me any more than the normal running costs. I have no immediate plans to change my car but my next one will definitely be a Skoda.

Re: Completly Embarassing Moment
youre lucky if one of my teachers, except for 2, the two male ones coincidentally, would have a little fit like they always do and get my ID taken away for however long it is.
I got banned from the school library for coming on here too, haha.
I was on they told me to get off of it, so I did, then like 10-15 minutes later they caught me again and said I can't come back for 2 weeks. I had to come back to do actual schoolwork, they caught me (even though I was actually working, I wasnt supposed to be in there) and kicked me out for a month.
This happened like 2 weeks before spring break.
So I came back from spring break, and I had forgotten about my one month banishment, the monday after the draft was my first day back to school. So I came to post on here and the same librarian who always catches me, says "Mr. Anderson (she actually called me that)I will see you next september".
So I'm not allowed back in the library for the rest of the year.
Not that I care at all, because I can just go to the computer lab.
Re: Completly Embarassing Moment
Dude, how do you get caught on here so many times. When I was in school I'd visit this site every chance I got on any computer and never get caught.
The best part of my day is when I get down on my knees, with my head in my hands, and thank GOD for everything he has given me.

Breaking: Delta to refund taxes collected during FAA shutdown
The outrage has slowly been trickling through the media and into the political ranks of our government, most notably in a letter to Delta from Aviation Operations, Safety and Security Subcommittee Chairwoman Maria Cantwell (D-WA) and Chairman John D. (Jay) Rockefeller IV (D-WV).
Believe it or not, the airlines may be listening. Just this afternoon, Delta Air Lines announced that they would be the first major carrier to refund extraneous hikes imposed by the airlines, provided that the IRS puts plans into place. You can read the full release over on their website.
Lets hope that the other airlines make the right decision and follow suit.
update: Delta Corporate communications got in touch to clarify the refunds:
[flickr image via Refracted Moments]
"..what we're refunding are the taxes customers paid on tickets purchase before the FAA shutdown, for travel during the shutdown period. The IRS has said that customers who travel during this period, who already paid those taxes, were technically overtaxed and may be eligible for a refund. Delta announced yesterday that to help facilitate those refunds, we'll provide them directly to our customers so that they don't have to file a claim with the IRS."

So they got caught with their hands in the perverbial cookie jar? Nice that they will reimburse...would have been nicer had they done this on their own!
Peter Van Veen Aug 1st 2011 4:57PM
Pocketing the extra money by the airlines should provide every consumer with knowledge of how the airlines look at their customers....they see us as DOPES. I suggest a boycot of the airlines...one day, two days, a week or a month.
We are just cattle to be milked.
Pizzed Aug 1st 2011 5:07PM
Now if they'll finish paying Minnesota the $175 million they owe, then maybe we won't have to boycott them...............
Franco Family Aug 1st 2011 5:08PM
Delta had better be "the first" & "listening". They are the main transport airline for the U.S. military. Jackasses. They would not have done this if they hadn't been confronted about it.
skidaily Aug 1st 2011 5:21PM
Read Delta's press release carefully; they are NOT refunding the fare hikes since the expiration of the taxes; they will be refunding the taxes that were collected prior to the expiration of the taxes for travel that takes place after the expiration of the taxes (but before the taxes are imposed again).
Poor reporting.
Lisa Aug 1st 2011 6:08PM
First Delta does business with countries that forbid Jews and Catholics from entering. Now they take money that is not rightfully theirs.
Sounds like they need a good kick in the pants!
Hank Aug 1st 2011 5:29PM
You know if it was a mom & pop that did this the Goverment would shut them down or fine them. What the air lines going to get??

We think Delta Airlines is the worst airline we have ever flown and while we live in one of their hubs, we go out of our way to not use them Rude staff, bad service awful refund policy we wish they would be bought by another airline
vince Aug 1st 2011 8:20PM
Amazing that VIRGIN airlines did just the opposite, didn't raise their fares, instead lowered them. Dump Delta, AA and all the other rip-off artist.
Flagrante Delicto Aug 1st 2011 6:16PM
Now, if Delta would only let it's flight attendants organize for collective bargaining.
Dana Bennett Aug 1st 2011 6:20PM
Delta has fallen on hard times but I am willing to bet that it is mostly because of poor customer relations and this is the perpetuation of same. When my daughter flew UAM (unacompanied minor) Delta failed to meet her at her destination until 12 minutes after disembarking and while our daughter was on the phone with us wondering what to do. They had to run to the next flight. This is what we got for $100 payment to assure she would be well taken care of. SO Delta provided a voucher to use on future flights...way to go Delta. You get to keep your "refund" because I won't be using your carrier ever again.
Marshall Aug 1st 2011 6:27PM
We really should think in terms of trying to bring back at least some of the great
former classic airlines that we have lost on a domestic route system level,such
as Northeast, TWA, Braniff Int'l(but under new management team), Eastern,
Mohawk, Western, Panam, North Central/Republic, Ozark ,Universal and
Overseas National. but with no more baggage check fees and better services
across the board/better connections/back to paper tickets/more leg room.Like how it
should be!?!
Don Aug 7th 2011 3:24PM
First Delta charges our troops for extra bags upon return to the United States from serving in war torn areas of the world and now they try a cheap trick like charging taxes when it was clear that they were not to do so. Time to boycott Delta, clean out senior management and hope Delta fades into the sunset.
bba007 Aug 1st 2011 7:34PM
I didn't see any Repub congressmen or women putting the airlines on notice. Gee, I wonder why?
John B Aug 1st 2011 7:59PM
Why shouldn't they? Airlines have been LOSING money for years. The comments here represent another selfish American sense of entitlement that they don't want to pay for.
Rasberryrum Aug 2nd 2011 10:58AM
Really? Well, then, how did Delta afford to buy Northwest if they were so broke?
Scott Aug 1st 2011 8:06PM
I hope they don't refund the money, it's ridiculous that the Govt takes 40% of their ticket prices anyways. Just because the govt stop collecting it, why is it the passenger's right to get the money, shouldn't the company losing the money to begin with get it? This "all about me" attitude of the American public is disturbing, "get me from NYC to LA in 5 hours for $99, and if you're an hour late, I better get a $200 travel voucher too". Get real.

Joggler To Make World Record Attempt
By editor
Originally published on Wed July 25, 2012 5:12 am
Good morning. I'm Linda Wertheimer. Matthew Feldman won't be competing in the Olympics, but he'll be trying to break a record this Friday in joggling. That's what it sounds like: juggling while jogging. He's trying to run one mile, continuously juggling five objects. He broke the Guinness world record in practice, and if he doesn't drop the ball Friday, he can make it official. But there are no gold medals for joggling so far. It's MORNING EDITION.

The "Parade" dates all the way back to the 1870′s. Originally the church goers would carry Easter flowers from St. Thomas Church to St. Luke's Church. It became a tradition to show off your finery and amazing hats. As time went on the parade route got longer and longer and the hats got bigger and bigger.
Today, the tradition continues and while not really a "parade" in the usual sense (there are no floats or marching bands) it is now eye candy for those who enjoy the slightly more bizarre and eccentric.
Here are some photos I took…
A man on a bike wearing a sequined bike helmet.
A one-eyed dog wearing an Easter Bonnet.
Three amazing eccentrics who have a passion for Bakelite jewelry.

A New Adventure
... carriage to the hospital where I will be staying for the next few months. Very close to the downtown, close to pubs, shopping centers, etc so it should work out well. Today I met much of the team here at the clinic - I think I'll fit in just fine here. Healthy mix of youth, sarcasm, and wit behind the the scenes with professionalism while on the job and I couldn't ask for more. Having a grocery ...
... car rental return and drop it off. A few texts to family and friends assured us that it would clear......and it finally did after we passed an accident. Doing 100mph we reached the car rental by 8pm and needed to check in at Terminal 3 by 8:30pm. Bags went flying into the Hertz shuttle and we dashed to checkin at 8:10pm. Hoorah! Sad to leave our loved ones, but glad to be going ...
In Heathrow
Sitting here watching the world go by in Pret. Nearly had a nice surprise when Emirates asked if we wanted to change seats - "business class?" I charmingly asked ... that will be £1k came the response. Err no just an empty row will do for now. So there we go. Me and Kammy able to enjoy the trip in relative ...
Oxford to Reading
... there was just going off duty so we let ourselves through the lock.
We moored at Reading Tesco where there were only three other boats. Usually there are many more and we have had to moor alongside others. We saw the local family of Australian Black Swans – four cygnets this year.
We stocked up with provisions and bought some road diesel for our heater. Someone had suggested it is less likely to freeze than red diesel. Ours froze last year on ...
