Our second sustainability report focuses on the environmental, social, and economic issues that we believe are most important to build and sustain long-term success at Workday. We share our approach to issues that we believe are most material to our stakeholders. These include energy efficiency, data privacy and protection, customer satisfaction, company culture, community outreach, and governance and ethics.
We hope this report provides you with a sense of what we value as well as the progress we are making. We welcome your feedback on our progress and value innovative ideas on how we can improve.
Download our 2012 Sustainability Report
Workday believes that success is not only measured in financial terms, but also in how we operate in the context of our community and environment. Companies, just as individuals, need to assume responsibility for their actions as part of a global ecosystem. Workday is committed to reducing or eliminating any negative impact we have on our immediate and global environment.
The SaaS business model provides Workday with a unique opportunity to positively impact the global carbon balance. Owners of on-premise software are typically not strongly focused on reducing electricity usage and operate redundant and often outdated hardware in server rooms that are not optimized for energy consumption. SaaS can make this old server infrastructure obsolete and centralize the processing into Workday's efficient and modern data centers. This helps customers to achieve their own carbon-neutrality goals more quickly. In addition, Workday's multi-tenancy architecture allows us to provide Workday business services to our customers with a minimal number of servers as opposed to each customer having to operate a single install on sub-optimal hardware. Finally, modern data centers are pooling large quantities of processing power and can be dramatically optimized for energy- and cooling-efficiency. SaaS is inherently green and helps to achieve goals for a greener future.
Workday supports the development of renewable energy projects and has offset 100% of the electricity use in our office buildings and data centers. To achieve this, we have partnered with Renewable Choice to purchase over 14 million kilowatt hours (kWh) of renewable energy credits (RECs) annually.
Wind farms or other clean energy projects, can sell RECs to help finance their projects. This can provide the additional funds needed to make a wind energy plant cost-competitive with non-renewable energy sources. In this way, more clean energy is produced and added to the energy mix. More than 65 percent of U.S. electricity comes from burning fossil fuels like coal and natural gas, which emit the harmful greenhouse gases that contribute to air pollution and climate change. Wind or solar power-generated electricity is renewable, sustainable, and does not produce air pollution or contribute to climate change. Read more about how RECs work.
Many companies cannot directly source their electricity from clean sources, but through RECs the same positive global end result can be achieved. The process for RECs is defined by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the validity of RECs is monitored by a variety of institutions such as Green-e and others.
Workday's purchase of renewable energy credits has an annual impact that is similar to:
Workday's commitment to clean energy has been recognized by the EPA in the Green Power Partnership program and we have achieved "100% Green Power Purchaser" status.
Workday is pursuing energy efficient strategies in all aspects of the operations. This ranges from telecommuting to video conferencing to efficient hardware for our employees and in our hosting operations. We are committed to purchasing energy-efficient hardware (ENERGY STAR 5.0 specification) as well as using efficient power-management settings on all laptops and servers.
Workday strives to reduce office waste such as paper and print products wherever possible. A strict "question every print-out" policy and double-sided, draft printer settings help in this goal. Used printer paper can serve a scrap paper. For all remaining paper waste Workday provides recycling opportunities.
All glass and plastic bottles as well as aluminum cans from our vending machines are collected and properly recycled in all offices. Special waste such as old batteries, printer cartridges, or cell phones are frequently collected and recycled.
As part of our sustainability goals, we not only strive to use the most efficient hardware, but also to handle the entire lifecycle of all IT equipment responsibly. Workday is progressing toward a strict "no landfill" rule for all its equipment. A comprehensive electronics disposition policy ensures that all media is securely disposed, we maximize reuse of equipment where possible and dispose all remaining electronics responsibly by adhering to the strict e-Stewards standard.

We are testing some of those "As Seen on TV" products live on the morning show every Wednesday in the 6:30 half hour. The first one in the line-up is the iSlice. The packaging claims it's an incredible new cutting tool with thousands of uses. It has a ceramic blade that never rusts and stays sharp. Plus the silver part near the front of the product is a magnet so you can stick it on the fridge or here at work, our desk drawers.
"It promises to cut coupons, difficult plastic packages , CD's with ease and will be the most useful tool you'll ever own."
Let's see if it works.
You have to hold it flat and it does work well for cutting coupons out of the newspaper. We tried using it to open the packaging it came in, which I think is always difficult to get open and it worked like a charm. It didn't cut all the way through cardboard.
iSlice is selling on Amazon for 1.27, but it can go up to 6.50, I got this at Nyberg's Ace for 5.99
It does work.

Guns don't kill people, bullets do. Sell all the guns you can, just not the bullets, problem solved.

I vote NO
on Apr 9, 2012 at 12:40 pm
I vote yes! This needs to come to the fairgrounds!!
Its not guns that kill people, its people who kill people.
It seems pretty reasonable to compromise on both sides to allow the Gun show to be at the fairground.
If you don't like guns don't go.

Music, dance and fun mark halfway point for Malden fortnight
11:20am Monday 9th July 2012 in News By Clare Buchanan
Celebrations are in full swing as we reach the halfway point of the annual Malden fortnight.
Music, dancing and singing have swept the streets of New Malden since the start of the festival, which is in its 27th year.
Nearly 100 stalls selling crafts and cakes lined New Malden High Street and community groups performed music and dance routines in St Georges Square on Saturday, July 7.
A break in the rainy weather saw families launch themselves into space hopper races, welly throwing competitions and a tug of war for a fun day held in Beverley Park on Sunday, July 8.
Still to come are performances by the Juniper Hill Blues, Malden Wanderers and a big band night.
A sports club open day and dog show in Blagdon Park will wrap up the fortnight of fun on July 15, with classes for pets and their owners including waggiest tail and best dog's fancy dress.

Ponsonby Road Bistro
Portions are large at this modern, upmarket restaurant with an Italian/French sensibility and first-rate service. Imported cheese and wine are a highlight, and the crispy-based pizzas make a delicious shared snack.
Portions are large at this modern, upmarket restaurant with an Italian/French sensibility and first-rate service. Imported cheese and wine are a highlight, and the crispy-based pizzas make a delicious shared snack.
This friendly and stylish Italian restaurant covers all the bases, with a fireplace in winter and a courtyard in summer. And on the subject of bases, the pizza is pretty damn fine, as are the inventive Italian mains.
Once the grand entrance to a long-gone theatre, this narrow vaulted corridor has been transformed into a supremely cool licensed cafe serving excellent coffee, cooked breakfasts and made-to-order sandwiches and bagels.
Book a departure transfer from your Auckland hotel to Auckland airport, so you won't spend extra time waiting for a taxi or other transportation. Transfers operate 24 hours a day, 7 days a week in modern, comfortable minivans operated by a team of professional, trained and courteous drivers.
The venue of choice for the Warriors rugby league team (www.warriors.co.nz), Auckland Football Federation (www.aucklandfootball.org.nz), Athletics Auckland (www.athleticsauckland.co.nz) and really big concerts.
Vegetable-shaped salt-and-pepper shakers, superbright walls and the freshest ingredients entice punters to this upstairs eatery, popular with visiting vegetarian/vegan rock royalty. Grab a window seat if you can.
Near the excellent children's playground, this observatory offers regular stargazing and planetarium shows that aren't dependent on Auckland's fickle weather (usually 8pm Wednesday to Sunday; phone ahead).
Round padded booths are nestled among the shelves at this very appealing bookshop-cafe. Devour delicious counter food (salads, paninis, fancy pies, gluten-free slices) and literary greats all at the same time.
Built of volcanic stone, this 1857 home displays the subtle but skilful watercolours and memorabilia of the Reverend Dr John Kinder (1819–1903), who was the headmaster of the Church of England Grammar School.
Tours of Kumeu, Matakana and Waiheke wineries including four-hour Kumeu tour ($169), with cheese ($189); six-hour tour including Muriwai Beach ($245); food-and-wine tour with stops at city providores ($245).
For quick eats, head to Revive, a vegetarian heaven that has an enticing salad bar and extremely economical daily meal deals. Fast food that's healthy? Healthy food that's cheap and tasty? How can this be?
The navy has been in Devonport since the earliest days of the colony. Its history is on display at this well-presented and often moving museum, focussing on the stories of the sailors themselves.
Dining at Merediths is the culinary equivalent of black-water rafting – tastes surprise you at every turn, you never know what's coming next and you're left with a sense of breathless exhilaration.
Grab a beer in the cornerbar, a cocktail in the chic art deco housebar or nab a spot by the fire in the atrium, an interesting covered space fashioned from the alleyway between the old buildings.
This convenient door-to-door shuttle charges $28 for one person heading between the airport and a city hotel; the price increases for outlying suburbs. You'll save money if you share a shuttle.
Auckland's largest venue for theatre, dance, ballet and opera, with two main stages: the cavernous ASB Auditorium and the tiny Herald Theatre. NZ Opera (www.nzopera.com) regularly performs here.

Items from the Perlance Blanc Pur collection.
Founded in 1936 by Germaine Monteil, acquired by the German Wilde Group 70 years later and merged with leading European biotech company Brain AG in 2011, the prestige cosmetics brand Monteil Paris is harnessing its storied past and tech-focused present for a brand new brightening skin care collection entitled Perlance Blanc Pur.
Launching next month, the products reportedly target dark spots, age spots and irregular pigmentation via active ingredients that disturb the melanogenesis process—or the darkening effect that's produced as a protective reaction against UV light. Active key ingredients include Illumiscin, SulforaWhite and SphingosomeMoist.
A Perlance Blanc Pur visual.
The collection comprises two segments: Even Out, which reduces age and pigmentation spots via double lipfuscin reduction, and Brighten Up, which revitalizes the complexion via triple melanin reduction.
The nine-SKU regime begins with Even Out Cleanser, which features a gel formula that can be used wet or dry and also serves as an eye makeup remover. Even Out Peeling Powder—an intensive treatment—is intended for use two to three times weekly. The cleanser is priced at $63.99 for 5.9 oz. and the powder—packaged in ten, 0.07-oz. sachets—is priced at $50.91 (at press time.)
Post-cleanse, the Even Out Dark Spot Corrector serum (1.0 oz., $129.24) reduces dark spots on the face, chest and hands, and also provides free radical protection.
Another serum, dubbed Super Whitener, inhibits the pigment formation process and is meant to be used alongside UV Protector SPF 50, which decreases the production of melatonin while protecting against harmful rays. Together, they compose the line's Brighten Up segment. Super Whitener is priced at $142.30 for 1.0 oz. and UV Protector SPF 50 sells for $116.23 for 1.0 oz.
The collection also includes day and night creams, Even Out Day SPF 15 and Even Out Night. After cleansing, Even Out Day provides a UV filter and delivers intensive care and protection. Even Out Night ensures that hyperpigmentation does not occur during sleep, prevents future pigmentation and promotes the regeneration of collagen fibers. They are both sized at 1.7 oz. and priced at $129.24 and $181.46, respectively.
An eye cream, Even Out Eye (0.5 oz., $103.13) is enriched with Rovisome to smooth, hydrate and diminish dark undereye circles. And a skin-refining hand cream, Even Out Hands SPF 15 (1.7 oz., $77.02), rounds out the collection and enhances suppleness, promotes regeneration, protects against UV rays and blocks the production and appearance of dark spots.

As such, Israel's treaties with both Egypt and Jordan must be redefined to reflect their present nature and utility: they are finite security arrangements, not immutable peace agreements.
Peace cannot be said to exist when, after more than thirty years, Egypt's state-controlled media continue to promote a genocidal hatred of Jews; its leading presidential candidates' platforms all include the plausible renewal of armed conflict with Israel; the Egyptian military remains idle while Islamic militants utilize Egyptian soil to launch a terrorist attack on Israel's south; and when the Muslim Brotherhood, Hamas' progenitor, is poised to become "democratically" empowered by the Egyptian electorate. (N.B.: In a subtle move epitomizing Egypt's simmering disdain for Israel, Cairo this week implemented a ban on the export of palm fronds to the Jewish state and Diaspora communities, leading to fears of a lulav shortage for the upcoming Sukkot holiday. This despicable act amounts to concerted religious warfare.)
Likewise, peace cannot be said to exist when Jordan's leading opposition party, the Islamic Action Front, is presently calling for the complete severing of ties with Israel, "in light of continued Zionist violations against the sovereignty and interests of Jordan;" nor when the kingdom's illegitimate monarch, Abdullah II, encourages Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas to reconsider his upcoming UN statehood bid not out of concern for his "partner in peace," Israel, but rather "to protect Palestine's future, and to safeguard…the refugees' 'right of return.'" In other words, to reserve the "right" to destroy the Jewish state through demographic subversion.
The failure to differentiate between genuine prospects of enduring peace and political opportunities to temporarily enhance security has given rise to the fallacy of our time—the Land for Peace formula. For conceding tangible assets in exchange for true peace, one that is based on mutual respect and a commitment to fostering normalization and successful bilateral relations between peoples, may indeed be worthwhile, however, compromising strategically imperative territory in exchange for relative calm, ephemeral promises, or out of conviction to higher-order principles, is not.
Land might only be exchanged for peace, in the real sense of the word.
But it never is. Instead, treaties are crafted, hope springs eternal, the "international community" pockets the goodwill before reneging on its commitments, and then Israel, alone, suffers.
And suffer it has. For upon the Land for Peace model has been built the equally delusional belief that the Israeli-Palestinian conflict can be resolved via Israeli concessions, as opposed to the recognition by Palestinians of Israel's legitimate existential right.
The Oslo process has caused nothing but damage to the Jewish state. This will continue, as evidenced by the Palestinians' upcoming UN debacle, which will serve only to intensify the global delegitimation campaign being waged against Israel, until such time that Jerusalem re-evaluates the fundamental principle guiding its policy vis-à-vis the Palestinians. And as Egypt and Jordan descend into madness, and the Palestinian Authority obstinately bases the resumption of negotiations on Israel's unconditional surrender to Palestinian demands, the time for analysis is now.
When a house crumbles, its foundation's instability is almost always to blame. For this reason, one can only hope that as Israel's house of cards—peace with its southern and eastern neighbors—exhibits further signs of faltering, its constructors will finally summon the courage to examine the root cause.

Former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi: "I think it's really important to know that President Obama was a job creator from day one. Now, was the ditch that we were in so deep that when you're talking to people and they still don't have a job, that that's any consolation to them? No. But I'll tell you this, if President Obama and the House congressional Democrats had not acted, we would be at 15 percent unemployment. Again, no consolation to those without a job, but an important point to make."
Reporter Justin Farmer: "I took in the man himself, this man, President Barack Obama. Regardless of one's political leanings, there's no doubt this is a gifted and complex man. Think about what he ponders in any given day?"
Justin Farmer: "I admit as he was answering one of my questions, I did look carefully at his face. (Our chairs were oddly placed almost uncomfortably close.) I pondered the responsibility, the challenges this one man bears."

Does it get any more exciting than this? I bet not. Why write about this? OPS is used by everyone but Joe Morgan as shorthand representation for batter skill. wOBA, on the other hand, has no such following, as much as fangraphs has helped.
So what is wOBA? It's short for weighted On Base Average. It takes all possible batter outcomes (single, double, strikeout, etc.) and weights them according to their run value. The total number of runs is divided by plate appearances to give, in effect, runs per plate appearance. The final figure has been manipulated to an on base percentage scale where .340 is about average.
Using the standard approximation of 10 runs per 1 win, we can find the value of a batter's plate appearances. OPS was never designed with that in mind, but it turns out that wOBA and OPS correlate very very well.
The graph is the correlation of OPS to wOBA of 125 major league hitters over the last 3 calendar years, the data for which I nabbed from fangraphs. If you can't see, the r-squared value is 0.967 and the exact equation provided is
wOBA = 0.362*OPS+0.059
For ease of remembering, .36 and .06 are perfectly acceptable values. Plugging .340 for league average wOBA, we get that an average bat is about .775 OPS. 20 runs worse over the course of a season (600 PA), or about replacement level, is about .670. As long as we're talking about a fairly standard line (the regression had 3 consecutive seasons per batter, which significantly normalized batting lines), this conversion should not only be useful, but show perhaps that more advanced stats aren't getting us as far away from the hoi as we think.
On the other hand, that's an extremely high r-squared value, almost absurdly so. Perfect correlation is 1. Why so high? Power and on base percentage are dependent on each other. Pitchers tend to stay away from big sluggers, but don't mind busting weak hitters inside. So, there's a margin of error associated with avoiding the big bats. I would bet this holds particularly for those who mash fastballs. As support for this notion, I ran a second regression comparing ISO and BB% using the same data set and found an r-squared of .314, which is fairly robust. There are obviously skills involved outside of hitting for power that allow some to take more or fewer walks than opportunity allows, but there's a reason why you don't see any .300/.400/.400 hitters.

This blog is dedicated to all you Monday night quarterbacks, part-time analysts and wanted-to-be football coaches that keep telling me that there is still hope for this team. Yeah, right. Today's game elevated us to the 1 and 7 record at home. Someone should get a trophy for that. My goodness. Have you all noticed that, no matter what, they will invariably find a way to screw it. I don't know about you, but by the 15th game in the season, I have been conditioned, 'a la Ivan Pavlov, that, no matter how well it may seem to be going for these guys, they will find a way to lose games. That simple. When something like this happens, you do know, don't you, what is really wrong, right? Yes…you guessed right: the coaches, friends, the coaches.
In a micro-analytical world, there is no doubt that Chad Henne, just does not belong in a football uniform, until his badly damaged confidence is restored back to his Michigan days. The kid may have a good arm and good physical attributes going for him, but…there is definitely a problem with his "mind". I could not help but notice that in some of the post-game interviews, he comes through as a non-repentant soul. There is an air of arrogance; a lack of wanting to take responsibility; a lack of humbleness. At the beginning I gave him the benefit of the doubt and drawing on some of my psychology 101 courses, I thought this haughtiness may have had something to do with: "wanting-to-stay-positive" or the likes. I now have second thoughts about this guy. He keeps making the same mistakes over and over and over. So… I could have been wrong about him after all. He may very well indeed be one of these "willful" characters that will not learn from his mistakes. I don't know but with a 1 and 7 record at home, we just don't have the time to have psychotherapy as part of our practice sessions. Look, my summary psychoanalysis on this guy, is that Mr. Tony Sparano's and Dan Henning's brilliant offensive game-planning, including their Wild-Cat offense, managed to erode into this kid's self-confidence to where he now hesitates and is tentative about just everything he does on the field, and, even the worse defenses on the league know they are dealing with a mentally damaged QB, hence the unending interceptions. That simple.
Do we have a great team with a lot of potential? I'd probably say we do. Again, still under micro-analysis, I would redo the entire offensive line. I would revamp special teams, kicker included. I would take a look at some of the rookies that warmed our benches and give some of them an opportunity to replace some of the old renowned marquee players. I think Ricky is beginning to tire down. In the receiving core, Brandon, I don't know. Who knows how it would have played with a mentally sound QB. But…overall, yes, I think we have a lot of talented personnel. Talented enough to be better than the 1 and 7 record, now showing. Kudos to our defense that played great all year long.
In a macro-analysis, as implied by its name, we don't deal with any details, and look at the bigger scope of things; and…that, my friends, points almost exclusively to: "poor coaching". With all due respects to any of you out there that may disagree with me, I said it before, and I will say it again: Tony Sparano needs to go for us to have any hopes next season. If he stays, I guarantee you, even if you replace Henne with a semi-decent QB specimen, Tony and his offensive coaching pundits will find a way to screw things up once again, as they did in this 2010 season. God save us.
In ending, if you notice, I have stayed away from any personal attacks, or shall I say, personal defenses from comments made on my previous blogs. The witch-hunt earned me a "warning" from this site, which I will respect, even though I found it a bit unfair, considering that I was attacked verbally only to be reprimanded for trying to defend myself. But…I will just let it go.
My final comment after today's game is the following. I had promised myself that I would not turn on the TV to watch today's game, or at least, not until I heard on the news that Sparano and Henning were both gone for good. But…I didn't. I succumbed to the torture once again, which goes to tell you that there has to be a dose of masochism somewhere in me, I guess. Or, maybe not; it was too chilly out there to ride my Harley or go out on the boat. I finally began to relate and understand with Packers fans, when there is really not much more to do than watch football. Whatever the case, I ended up watching one more time, the prevalent flaws that have been ever-so-present throughout this entire season. Frankly, if there was anything positive that could come out of this horrific loss to Detroit, it is that maybe, just maybe, that the loss will serve a better purpose of letting the world know that we need a new coach; of letting the world know that unless we fire coach Sparano and all his coaching staff, 2011 will be an extension of 2010 and don't you doubt it. I don't know what will happen on our final game of the season. The players, God bless them are playing for pride, hope and better things to come. Sparano, I don't know what he is playing for. Could it be that he wants to reassess the Wild-Cat? Whatever it may be, I do hope that someone out there wakes up and smells the coffee. In my prayers and in all my wish lists for the New Year, I included a revamping of the Dolphin's franchise beginning with the replacement of our offensive coaching staff. As for Henne, I am sorry guy; you should blame your coach for the person you are today. Why not try golf.
And, finally, to all of you that still believe we are in a "rebuilding-the-team" mode with Sparano, and we should be gracious by giving the guy a few more years, you, my man, should run for poster-child of the "must ingenuous" club. If you do…how many more seasons do you think Sparano may need before he can take our team to the promised land? Two, Three, Four..or Never? Hello, Hello ! Earth calling the ingenuous !

MANCHESTER, Vt. (AP) - The removal of a decades-old dam on the Batten Kill is expected to boost trout populations in the southern Vermont river known for its trout fishing.
It's part of a larger movement to remove now-obsolete and risky dams that would cost more to repair and maintain than to remove.
The Dufresne Dam in Manchester was built in 1908 to power a sawmill. The sawmill is long gone and the earthen dam has been leaking, creating a safety hazard.
The concrete wall and earthen dam were removed this month, and the river is being moved to its original spot in the middle of the channel.
Water resource scientist and engineer Roy Schiff says it's exciting to think that fish will begin to move through the site again soon.

A man who many say would have been a front runner to succeed Larry Combest as U.S. Representative has turned the spot down. Republican Texas Senator Robert Duncan says he has a lot of unfinished work at the state level. Duncan says he would like to tackle big issues like higher education, agriculture, and transportation and says now is not the right time to move from the Texas Senate.
"I think it's very important, as we have seen redistricting and other developments in state, that West Texas maintains a strong voice in Austin. Right now, we have an excellent team," Duncan said Friday right before his announcement.
Former U.S. Representative District 19 candidate, Don Richards, ran against Congressman Larry Combest in 1984. Richards says the race is now wide open. "Several good candidates in West Texas, they all have pretty strong name identification so you see that emerge, but don't ever rule out a dark horse. You could have someone who comes out and campaigns better than anyone and can appeal to voters," Richards commented on Friday.
Potential candidates that have voiced interest in the congressional seat include:
However, Republicans Sam Medina and Mark Griffin or Democrats Pete Laney and John Montford have not said if they will run.

Ok, by now you know about the brawl that took place this weekend. It's deplorable how these kids acted, blah, blah, blah. I'm not defending their actions, but their kids. What I'm so upset about is freakin' Larry Coker. Thug U has tried hard to relinquish that title, but it just fits. Always has, most likely always will. Rivals has a good write up on the story, but Larry Coker's comments were despicable for any coach in any position.
Story: http://miami.rivals.com/content.asp?cid=595560
Larry's unforgivable comments:
"It started in the pre-game warm-up, that's when it started," Coker said. "We had one of their players run through and shove one of our guys, was talking noise. That's when it all started. It kind of escalated from there. When the game started to get away, you'll see they actually slam-dunked our holder [Matt Perrelli], grabbed our holder, lifted him up and threw him to the ground."
Oh, but wait... The next comment out of his mouth:
"But this isn't about who started what, it's about how we reacted. It's about the University of Miami."
So which is it Larry Boy? Your players' faults or theirs?
Let's move on.
"What's going to be portrayed around the country is probably not going to be positive,"
Ya Think?
"But I will tell you this: We have great kids in this program. They're not good kids, they're great kids."
Tell me something... Do great kids stomp on other player's legs and back? Do great kids hit people with helmets? Do great kids use their own crutch to hit other people? If, you answered yes, then yeah, your kids are great.
"I do have a grip on this program," Coker said. "Don't ever doubt that."
Too late. We've doubted that for quite some time.

Pujols = Morales
After tonight's game, Pujols' OB% is exactly .001 and his SLG% is exactly .020 better than Morales'. I think it's obvious that Pujols has been more valuable because of his study defense....but offensively that slight edge by Pujols is basically nothing. Morales has been better than I thought and Pujols is still not hitting even as well as you might expect given changes in league and aging and so on... Hopefully, both of them improve on these numbers: both hit some 2Bs and HRs and Pujols drawing some walks so they can become what I think most of us thought they might be able to be going into the season.

Twitter Watch: Patrick Stewart & Ian McKellen Gear Up for Super Bowl Sunday
BroadwayWorld.com presents Twitter Watch, which brings you only the best and most interesting reports straight from the mouths of Broadway stars, shows and more on the hot social networking service - Twitter!
On Twitter, NO MAN'S LAND and WAITING FOR GODOT's stars Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen shared a photo of themselves all geared up and ready for Super Bowl Sunday this weekend - with a European spin! Check it out below!
NO MAN'S LAND plays in repertory with Samuel Beckett's WAITING FOR GODOT on Broadway at the Cort Theatre (138 West 48th Street). The production was recently extended through Sunday, March 30 only. For performance schedule and more information, visit TwoPlaysInRep.com.

Judah to face Mabuza for IBF title | Zab Judah's Twitter
According to Zab Judah, his next bout will come against Kaizer Mabuza for the vacant IBF junior welterweight title. The location and date of the fight have yet to be determined, but the winner of the fight will probably get in line for an HBO fight against Amir Khan or the Bradley-Alexander winner.
Kameda brothers go three for three in Saitima | The Boxing Bulletin
Yesterday morning, Koki Kameda became Japan's first three weight class titlist, defeating Alexander Munoz by unanimous decision (115-111, 116-109 and 117-109). Koki's little brother Daiki also managed to retain his flyweight title, winning a seemingly controversial split decision against unknown Romanian Silvio Olteanu. The scores were 116-112 and 115-113 in favor of Kameda, with the third a whopping 118-110 in favor of Olteanu. Kameda was reportedly sluggish for the fight while Olteanu was the aggressor. Youngest brother Tomoki remained undefeated after beating an underqualified Thai opponent. While he's only 19 years old, he's already survived a tough test against EU titlist Stephane Jamoye, and may be ready for a title shot in the not too distant future if he decides to campaign at 122 rather than 118.
Cazares decisions Hisataka | Fight News
In what sounds like the last good fight of 2010, Hugo Cazares bolstered his reputation as a new action star in defeating Japanese fringe contender Hiroyuki Hisataka. While Hisataka was unaggressive and mostly counterpunching early, the fight turned into a brawl late, although at that point Cazares already had too many rounds in the bank. This makes for the third good fight by Cazares this year - his bout against Nobuo Nashiro was a great war and included my personal round of the year, while his fights against Albert Rossel and Hisataka were both fights he probably could have dominated on pure boxing skills, but chose to mix it up and keep true to his roots. 115 is already on the big side for him, but it would be interesting to see if Showtime might push a fight between Cazares and one of the bantamweights that the network has already been showcasing.
Barrios reported to have attacked son | El Dia
Only a day after it was reported that "La Heina" Jorge Barrios would not get charged in the hit-and-run death of a pregnant woman, Barrios is back in hot water again.

Huck vs Lebedev: WBO To Review Split Decision Verdict | Boxing Scene
The split decision victory by Marco Huck over Denis Lebedev has turned out to be even more controversial than we here at Bad Left Hook made it out to be. The WBO has already said that Lebedev will remain Huck's mandatory, and now has taken the somewhat unusual step of reviewing the decision. While it's almost impossible that the decision will be overturned, they could mandate an immediate rematch, rather than just keeping Lebedev the mandatory. Of particular note, Huck's stable mate and training partner Arthur Abraham has publicly railed against Huck, saying that Lebedev really won the fight.
Manny Pacquiao among biggest stories in boxing in 2010 | SI.com
Sports Illustrated included its list of the top boxing stories of the year, and Manny Pacquiao was listed at #1. Rounding out the top 5 were Floyd Mayweather's legal troubles, the return of stadium boxing, Sergio Martinez's breakout year and the dominance of the Klitschko brothers.
Abraham to fight a tune-up in February before Ward bout? | Boxing News 24
Down on his luck former IBF middleweight champion Arthur Abraham (31-2, 25 Ko's) is reportedly kicking around the idea of fighting a tune-up before heading into his Super Six semifinal match against Andre Ward. Having lost twice in a row, it might not be a horrible idea to take an easy interim fight where he has very little risk of injury, but as with the author, I doubt any tune-up fight will help eliminate his glaring weaknesses that have been exposed in his last two fights.
Sergio Martinez is the fighter of the year | ESPN
Dan Rafael has started to come out with his year end awards, and like Bad Left Hook and Ring Magazine, Sergio Martinez was named the fighter of the year. Can't really disagree with most of Rafael's choices here, although Jean Pascal may have deserved a shout-out, despite his disappointing draw against Bernard Hopkins. Ring has been working on their awards too, although their Round of the Year was a bit befuddling. While the winner wasn't a huge surprise (Khan-Maidana round 10), the fact that Kessler-Froch round 12 and Cazares-Nashiro round 12 weren't even mentioned smacks of lazy journalism.

Oak Lawn, IL — Sixty-four-year-old Leroy Haynes was all smiles as he left Advocate Christ Medical Center with his wife, Patricia, by his side, after becoming the first patient in Illinois to be discharged to home with a total artificial heart. The mechanical implant completely replaces the function of the human heart, doctors at the medical center said during yesterday's (September 13) news conference.
Surgeons implanted the retired postal worker with a SynCardia temporary Total Artificial Heart, the latest advancement in mechanical heart technology. Haynes suffers from end-stage heart failure and requires this temporary device to remain alive while he awaits a heart transplant.
"The Total Artificial Heart is the first device of its kind to receive FDA approval. The device is implanted in place of the heart and keeps blood pumping throughout the body," said Michael Bresticker, MD, cardiac surgeon, Advocate Christ Medical Center's Heart and Vascular Institute. "This is tremendous technology that can have a lifesaving impact on patients who are experiencing advanced heart failure. For this patient, it was the only option to keep him alive until a donor heart becomes available."
A 13.5-pound backpack is outfitted with a mechanical pumping device called the Freedom® portable driver, which is designed to power the Total Artificial Heart outside the hospital. The system will give Haynes the freedom to be more mobile and perform normal, daily activities.
The Total Artificial Heart serves as a bridge to transplant for patients who suffer from end-stage biventricular heart failure, a condition in which both sides of the heart become weakened and cannot pump blood adequately throughout the body.
"An artificial heart is distinct from a ventricular assist device, which is designed to support – not replace – a failing heart. It is also distinct from a cardiopulmonary bypass machine, which is an external device used to assume the functions of both the heart and lungs for only a few hours at a time, most commonly during cardiac surgery," said Geetha Bhat MD,medical director of the campus' center for Heart Transplant and Mechanical Assist Devices.
Surgeons say the Total Artificial Heart is appropriate only for patients with severe end-stage heart failure.
Meanwhile, Haynes was happy to be leaving the hospital where he spent some three months recovering and learning to be mobile and self-sufficient with his new mechanical companion.
"I'm looking forward to going home and enjoying my friends and family," he said.

About the SynCardia temporary Total Artificial HeartSynCardia Systems, Inc. (Tucson, AZ) is the privately-held manufacturer of the world's first and only FDA, Health Canada and CE approved Total Artificial Heart. Originally used as a permanent replacement heart, SynCardia's Total Artificial Heart is currently approved as a bridge to transplant for people dying from end-stage biventricular heart failure. There have been more than 1,000 implants of the Total Artificial Heart, accounting for more than 270 patient years of life. Similar to a heart transplant, SynCardia's Total Artificial Heart replaces both failing heart ventricles and the four heart valves, eliminating the symptoms and source of end-stage biventricular failure. Unlike a donor heart, the Total Artificial Heart is immediately available at SynCardia Certified Centers. It is the only device that provides immediate, safe blood flow of up to 9.5 liters per minute through each ventricle. This high volume of safe blood flow helps speed the recovery of vital organs, helping make the patient a better transplant candidate.

If you are already activated and looking to switch from a monthly or pay as you go plan to the pay by the day, you will need to call in. Some stores can facilitate this, but calling prepaid customer care is the best way to handle the process!

by Joe Little, 28 July 2012 | The Agile Blogosphere
This post is from LeanAgileTraining by Joe Little. Click here to see the original post in full.
We have this idea in Agile, that the Team should self-organize. This is an important idea. And also an important occurrence (eg, the reality precedes the idea).
In Agile, self-organization is compared to command-and-control.
We think self-org is an important thing to study, both in general and in your Team.
Well, one, because it is just right. People are free, and self-organization is saying that the Team is allowed to be free.
I guess this needs to be explained a bit. Some will say: well, the company has bought their time as employees, so the company gets to define what the Team does. Well, let is concede this at a high level; let us say that the company may define the vision or the goal or the general product. Perhaps even the user stories. The Team members are not slaves, but we can assume that, as employees, they agree to do the company's work for pay. A contract.
But, devising the work, figuring out how they will get to the goal, they should have the freedom to do.
The second main answer is: self-organizing humans tend to do better work than human 'slaves' (humans directed by one or a few command-and-control people).
There is lots of evidence of this. The first book I recommend is...read more

Menlo Park: Battle heats up over Stanford's proposed mixed-use project on El Camino
Original post made on Aug 14, 2013
Read the full story here Web Link posted Wednesday, August 14, 2013, 10:20 AM

While I am not opposed to this project, as a business owner and Realtor, I do have some simple questions.
Since roads and schools get some funding from property taxes, how and what is the tax basis for this project. Will the project increase the tax basis of the property to help defer the cost of the chilren that will live in the 170 living units? If these are rental units, they do not supply revenue for the over burdened Menlo Park Schools. This is the same question for roads both during the construction and after to carry the increased burden of traffic, additional repairs and research on the timing of the signals throughout the El Camino corridor through Menlo Park. Stanford's non-profit staus may influence the property tax revenue.
on Aug 14, 2013 at 1:58 pm
So this is what has become of Menlo Park the last opportunity the city had to demolish decrepit buildings and up grade our blight stricken corridor resulted in a referendum (spearheaded by a group called MENLO PARK TOMORROW) and a law suit and once again NOTHING this is also why the Stanford Cadillac site now sits vacant NO DIRECTION the last owners of the property Sand Hill properties pulled out and sold it because of the cities and citizens dysfunction (please see Alma Plaza in PA this is what happens when you have a community design a project) now SAVE MENLO PARK is threatening a lawsuit after Stanford made concessions? I hope Mr. Arillaga and his cyclical development dollars scraps the whole project and gives this city what it deserves blight and dysfunction all to satisfy a small minority? and to all those naysayers who say that all this is background noise that doesn't affect future development should ask the question why was the Derry project not pursued? get used to the view we have become the city of CANT DO and we have the blighted land to prove it thanks to SAVE MENLO and MPT? hopefully the citizens will wake up someday and ask them selves why is development going on all around us but not Menlo we have had the same blighted spaces for years remember Park theater? its still there and vacant? is this what you call smart growth? you are just cementing our reputation as a city who cant dream big and by the way I have been a retailer and property owner for over 40 years and have seen it all.
on Aug 14, 2013 at 2:24 pm
SOSO - look around. Obviously you haven't seen it all.
There are a number of projects being built on El Camino right now. These ALL were approved under the old rules.
The Derry applicants got a project approved by the Planning Commission after that referendum; they just didn't take it forward to the council, probably because of the economy. Remember? The economy that tanked for a while? It's better now and projects are coming forward.
The Park Theater is another matter. The owner closed a popular tehater and created the blight.
I have no doubts all the vacant lots could be developed, even under the old rules. Just keep watching.

The Mosaics of Zeugma on the Euphrates: Visual Culture on the Roman Frontier
The Near Eastern Archeology Foundation Public Lecture Series
Tuesday 20 July 2010: 6.30 - 8.30 pm
Menzies Room, Women's College, University of Sydney
The Mosaics of ZeugmaIn the summer of 2000, as the city of Zeugma was about to be partially submerged under the waters of the new Turkish dam across the upper Euphrates, archaeologists from various nations worked hard to reveal all that they could about the areas of the city that were fated to disappear. The most spectacular of the finds, and certainly those which attracted the greatest media attention, were the magnificent mosaics which adorned the houses of the city's elite, mosaics often of very high quality, and decorated with a wide range of figured scenes. This talk aims to look at those mosaics in their context, to replace them where possible in their original architectural settings, and to use them as evidence for the wider culture of the individuals who commissioned, made, and looked at them. Zeugma was a frontier city, Greek in origin, but undoubtedly of very mixed population; yet the mosaics reveal a cultural atmosphere that seems remarkably homogeneous, clearly deliberately cultivated by their proprietors as an assertion of identity.
Katherine M.D. Dunbabin is Professor Emerita, Department of Classics, McMaster University. Publications include The Mosaics of Roman North Africa, Oxford: OUP, 1978; Mosaics of the Greek and Roman World, Cambridge: CUP, 1999; The Roman Banquet: Images of Conviviality, Cambridge: CUP, 2003; and numerous articles on Graeco-Roman mosaics, dining practices, and iconography, many of them published in the Journal of Roman Archaeology. She has given the Jackson lectures at Harvard in 1998. and the Townsend lectures at Cornell in 2005, was a Visiting Fellow at All Souls College, Oxford in 2001, and has held a Killam Research Fellowship from the Canada Council for the Arts in 2004-6. She is currently engaged on a book on the representation of theatre and spectacle in Roman art.

One of four suspects who broke into Lufkin's R&R
Washateria on Jan. 12 and tried to set it on fire received 5 years of shock
probation for his part in the crime.
Adan Cordero, 17, of Lufkin, appeared in Judge Paul
White's 159th Judicial District Court Monday morning. Cordero, who also
threatened to stab a jailer with a pencil, pleaded guilty to felony charges of
escape and arson and accepted a 10-year prison sentence.
However, at the time, Judge Gerald Goodwin told
Cordero that he would consider placing Cordero in shock probation once he
completed boot in the Texas Department of Criminal Justice system.
According to the conditions of Cordero's shock
probation, he is required to get a job within 30 days, and he is supposed to
get his GED in 2 ½ years. In addition, Cordero is banned from having any
contact with the other three people involved in the failed attempt to set the
washateria on fire. He also cannot have any gang-related clothing or symbols.
Cordero will also be required to pay restitution
once that amount is set. In a previous East Texas News story, District Attorney
Art Bauereiss said the damage to R&R Washateria was estimated at $7,000.
Boot camp is modeled after military boot camps and
is designed to teach convicted felons discipline. Shock probation is a method
used when a felon is sent to prison and then "shocked" into good
behavior after having served a few months and granted probation for the
remainder of the term
At the time of the attempted arson, Cordero was 16.
However, he had turned 17 by the time he tried to escape from the Lufkin
Juvenile Detention Facility when he assaulted a detention officer and
threatened him by placing a pencil near the man's throat.
However, Cordero's escape was short-lived. He was stopped at the facility's
back door and taken back into custody. Cordero was then transferred to the
Angelina County Jail.
However, Cordero's escape was short-lived. He was stopped at the facility's
back door and taken back into custody.
Cordero was 16 at the time of when he was arrested for arson, but turned 17
by the time he had tried the escape, allowing him to be transferred to the
adult jail.
Cordero was named a suspect in the arson case of R&R Washateria on Jan.
12. Video surveillance showed Cordero and three others trying unsuccessfully to
damage and burn the building.
Francisco Cordero, 19, and Luis Alberto Ramirez, 17, and a juvenile were
also arrested.

The most complicated puffer ever - designed by imbeciles! Terrible instructions, impossible to tell whether it's working. NO instructions on use with spacer. TOTAL waste of money. Ask for alternative until the brain-dead at Merck come up with something better.

My daughter takes asmanex every time she gets a cold. She uses it for about a week and the hacking cough stops. She gets illness induced asthma and this has been the only thing that has helped. It knocks the cough right out. I have not noticed any side effects with this medication but she only takes it for about a week at a time.

Our guys never intenionally run out of bounds. I watched several other games yesterday, and saw a bunch of dudes run out. Then I watched the highlight reel, and noticed that TR, JJ, MI never run out of bounds to avoid a hit. They lower their shoulders' and knock the other guy on his ass, before 6 or 8 guys come tackle them. I'm sure they would run out of bounds, if we were down and the clock was ticking, if they needed to; but they seem to play with an "f-that, I'm gettin' 2 more yards" attitude.
Oh shit.
Just noticed there is much more to posting a fanpost than there is to posting a fanshot.

Common Names: American walnut, eastern black walnut
Habitat: Black walnut typically grows as scattered individual trees or in small groups throughout the central and eastern parts of the United States. Although it is found on a variety of sites, black walnut grows best on good sites in coves and well-drained bottoms in the Appalachians and the Midwest.
Description: Under forest competition black walnut develops a tall, clear trunk. The bark is grey-black and deeply furrowed. The "chambered" pith of the twigs contains air spaces and is a key identification feature. The leaves are alternate, odd-pinnate with 15–23 leaflets with the largest leaflets located in the center. The male flowers are in drooping catkins and the fruit ripens in fall into a brown corrugated nut with a browish-green, semi-fleshy husk. The whole fruit, including the husk, falls in October; the seed is relatively small and very hard.
Uses: The fine straight-grained wood makes prize pieces of solid furniture and gunstocks. High quality black walnut is also used as veneer attached to woods of lesser value. The distinctive tasting nuts are in demand for baked goods and ice cream.

Town Square
Why put your child in danger?
Original post made by Renee Batti on Mar 27, 2007
Last week's photo of 5-year-old Hanna Kopisch riding her tiny bike in a narrow space between a row of parked cars and moving traffic is compelling.
Clearly, measures need to be taken to make pedestrians and bikers safe. But until something is done, why would parents knowingly put a child in this kind of danger day after day?

Over the past several Call of Duty releases, PC gamers have been left feeling disappointed by the lack of dedicated servers. Modern Warfare 3 had dedicated servers, sure, but they were limited to unranked games only, which doesnt quite cut it for some.
For some reason or another, Activision has been a bit off-and-on when it comes to dedicated server support for Call of Duty games on the PC platform. The original Black Ops supported dedicated servers, but only from one provider. Modern Warfare 2, arguably the best title to date, shipped with no dedicated server support at all.
With Modern Warfare 2, Activision and Infinity Ward wanted to push its so-called IWNet multiplayer system on the PC, rather than going the dedicated server route. Infinity Wards Robert Bowling had this to say in IWNets defense at the time:
The biggest benefit of using IWnet by far is the fact that you dont have to worry about joining a server full of aim-bots, wallhacks, or cheaters, Bowling writes. Or relying on the server admin of the server to constantly be monitoring, banning, and policing it.
Treyarch director of technology Cesar Stastny has confirmed on Twitter that the latest Call of Duty will feature dedicated ranked multiplayer servers on PC.
Its good news, and more than a little overdue. Dedicated servers made a return with Modern Warfare 3, but were unranked and therefore didnt contribute to your overall progress. It seems like reliable, full-featured servers have crawled back bit by bit since they originally vanished from the series. Last week brought the news that Neversoft, the studio behind the Tony Hawk and latter Guitar Hero games, are at work on Call of Duty. Check out the E3 trailer for the first extended look at the game, in which terrorists steal the keys to the robots of the future. Im not sure why robots would have keys, unless the robot owned something that needed to be locked like a house or a car. A robust moral compass would probably be a better way of preventing a drone army from laying waste to Los Angeles, ultimately.

News: Red Cafe Names NY Knicks' Biggest Weakness, "They Break My Heart All The Time"
Tuesday, Feb 21, 2012 9:44AM
Bad Boy Records' Red Cafe recently gave his thoughts on the sizzling hot New York Knicks, pre-Jeremy Lin era, and said the team needed more toughness in order to excel.
Recalling the past days when Knicks stars like Latrell Sprewell and Patrick Ewing took the floor, Cafe said the New York hometeam is in dire need of aggressive leadership.
"I'm a hometown guy. I'm a neighborhood guy. There were a lot of great years I saw the Knicks do some explosive things. John Starks, Ewing, Sprewell. I liked it. We were tough guys. It was nice to see them match up with guys who had more talent. I just love the Knicks. They break my heart all the time," Cafe said in an interview. "You gotta win the game before you get on the court. You have to take their heart. I think [Carmelo Anthony] can do it. [Amar'e] Stoudemire can do it. They just have to make the decision. We're in New York City. Coming into that Garden, that's a big deal. Other guys go on that stage and they know they gotta show up. We need [expletive] Anthony Mason and Charles Oakley right now. Those guys came in the game and took hearts, asap." (The Post Game)
As of late, the Knicks' overnight star Jeremy Lin has captured the attention of hip-hop artists like Lil Wayne, who is not buying into the hype.
"Jeremy Lin has been added to Rising Stars Challenge game for All-Star Weekend after recent Lin craze," Weezy said, reading from a report. "Now, everyone got the Lin fever and everybody doing the Lin -- I don't, I'm trying to figure out what I call him. Well, he beat my Lakers. So ever since that game, I hate him. So I call him Lin Laden. Yeah, that's what I call him. Lin Laden. Trend that. That's what y'all need to start calling him. Lin Laden. But for tonight, Lin Laden was defeated by the Hornets. So seems like Lin couldn't beat New Or-Lins. Ha! Score for me." (Weezy's Sports Center)
Former Ruff Ryders rapper Jin recently penned a tribute record in Lin's honor.
"I saw this interview about a year ago. Maybe it's the Asian American connection combined with the fact that at the time I was taking steps on my own spiritual path as well, but I was just super inspired. Later on, as Jeremy landed a spot on the Warriors, I had the notion to work on a song inspired by him. Interesting how God works.. The Warriors track never got released cause I couldn't get it to a point where I was comfortable with the overall direction of the song.. and next thing you know J gets released from the team. As he continues on his path to Houston and then ultimately the Knicks, I think it's safe to say that countless amount of us are continuously inspired and uplifted by what God is doing in this brothers life.. His story and I'm sure many of ours can attest that like the song says, "HE always come thru in the nick of time."" (Channel APA)
Despite an impressive win against the Dallas Mavericks on Sunday, the Knicks fell short to its local rivals, New Jersey Nets, last night.
New York Knicks forward Carmelo Anthony didn't take the air out of the Jeremy Lin Show. Guard Deron Williams and the New Jersey Nets did on the final leg of a back-to-back-to-back set, beating the Knicks 100-92 on Monday at Madison Square Garden. Williams, perhaps still smarting from the Nets-Knicks game Feb. 4 in which Lin began his improbable run with 25 points and a victory, reminded the NBA there's another high-profile point guard in the New York metropolitan area.

Below are a few pictures of Francoise in lingerie (top row) as well as a few pictures from her recent (non nude) appearance in the June 2010 issue of Playboy (bottom row). And yes, she's on Twitter.
