On The Box
When it comes to having babies, I've always been happy to leave it to Mrs Brown.
While that may seem to be an obvious statement, given the biological advantage she has in performing the feat, I'm talking about the bits that happen afterwards.
To put it into today's bureaucratic babble, Mrs B is the one contracted to deliver the outcome - something she's done three times - but just who takes responsibility after that is not quite so clear-cut.
If our place was a hotel, she figured she's provided the womb, but other duties, such as providing food, drink and entertainment, were to be divided, delegated and done, once she'd decided. For example, she'd always said the baby was half mine, and obviously it was my half that cried at night, so therefore it was my job to get up to it.
While that was a matter of some ongoing discussion, there was a refreshingly irreverent look at some of these very issues on prime-time television on Wednesday night. Keep Calm and Carry On (TV One, 8pm) stars Jaquie Brown (no relation to either Len or me) and quite simply she is the show. She has that rare knack of being able to gently take the p . . . out of herself and has a good time while she does it.
She first came to prominence in the Jaquie Brown Diaries, which was a clever attempt to send up New Zealand's radio industry in a mildly David Brent way. Jaquie made her way from TV3 to TVNZ and this series is refreshingly different, and, dare I say it, funny.
It's self-deprecating humour and that, allied with an irreverent look back into time and what passed for best practice in the 1950s and 1960s is actually a treasure trove of silliness.
"I'm documenting the process of becoming a mum," Jaquie tells us early on and, fortunately, she bypasses the conception bit and it's more concerned with mother and baby.
When Mrs B insisted we watch this, I was a little dubious. After all, as a bloke the first thing I do whenever I am watching telly and some woman starts screaming the house down during labour, is to disappear quicker than Prince Harry's clothes at a Las Vegas party.
I needn't have worried. There's so much humour in there that the subject matter is almost incidental, apart from one part - and that came with a warning.
Not a government warning, but a Jaquie warning.
"Boys, it's time for you to go and make a cuppa . . . girls; it's now time for you to take a quiz."
She was right. Close-ups of female bits on a dummy and lots of unnecessary detail [for blokes], with the main focus on something called the pelvic floor.
Apart from that bit, the rest was fine. Good fun, even. It was filmed over the course of a year, "with me in various stages" Jaquie tells us. It's strewn with the highs and lows of such times.
"I had the most massive meltdown," she says candidly at one stage.
But my favourite part was when she remonstrated with the baby.
"Learn what to do. You're six weeks old now, so you should be able to work it out yourself."
Then there were the running gags, which came across brilliantly every time she went back in time.
Truby King was the father of Plunket, and those old black-and-white films, complete with the posh upper-class Pommie accent of the narrator, provided plenty of fun.
Mrs B's favourite bit of advice from Truby was this one on Mothercraft: "To prepare nipples for breastfeeding, scrub them with a very hard toothbrush for months before giving birth." She reckoned only a man would come up with that one.
I liked Jaquie's advice of leaving an hour to fit the baby seat before going anywhere in the car with a little one.
Nowadays parents [our children] are told to make sure their precious young ones [our grandchildren] have to be in special car seats until they're 23 or 1.5m, whichever comes first, so we have to oblige as well, even to drive them to the end of the driveway.
About the only thing missing in the opening series was a Mister Brown. There was the odd vague reference to him, but no evidence he actually existed. Mind you, Jaquie looked so blissfully happy, there must be one.
A final thought, just why does TVNZ these days insist all their presenters stand up when they are talking to the camera? From Peter Williams reading the news on Breakfast to Greg Boyed in the late news, they're all doing it, with the exception of the 6pm newsreaders. It looks uncomfortable, unnatural and is quite distracting, so please let them sit down again.

Looks like Al Martin never played at USC
Despite a story he has perpetuated for at least 10 years, Al Martin appears not to have ever played football at USC.
The issue arose when Martin, the Mariners' left fielder, told The Seattle Times in May that crashing into teammate Carlos Guillen during a Mariners game reminded him of a 1986 football game between USC and Michigan.
"For some reason, probably because I was young and dumb, I decided I could make a head-on stop of (Michigan's) Leroy Hoard," Martin said back then. "I hit him, or rather he hit me. You remember those big tree-trunk legs Hoard had? That's what hit me."
But after a source pointed out that USC had not played Michigan in 1986 or at all in the decade before the 1989 Rose Bowl, The Times began looking into whether Martin had actually played for USC.
The answer, it seems, is no. Coaches and players at USC and at Martin's high school in West Covina, Calif., say they have no knowledge of Martin ever attending or playing at the university, and USC has no record of him ever having enrolled, receiving scholarship money or played in a game. He also is not in any of the USC team pictures.
Still, the story of him attending USC on a football scholarship has been in baseball media guides in Pittsburgh, where he played from 1992 to '99, in San Diego last season and Seattle this year, in several newspaper articles over the years, as well as on television and radio broadcasts. The information for those accounts was provided by Martin.
When asked about the discrepancy a month ago, Martin told The Times he would provide proof the next day. That has not happened, and Martin has had no further comment on the record.
Mariners spokesman Tim Hevly, who spoke with a USC official, said he would remove the inaccurate information from the guide's next edition.
On another matter, Martin misinformed The Times during spring training when he said he had been exonerated from a domestic violence misdemeanor conviction that stemmed from a fight he had with a woman who claimed he had married her while he was still married to someone else.
A recent check with the prosecuting attorney in Scottsdale, Ariz., confirmed that he pleaded guilty, spent a night in jail and remains on probation until November 2002.
Martin has a one-year, $5 million contract with the Mariners.

Could New Jersey Devils Sign New York Rangers Center Brad Richards if Amnestied?
The New Jersey Devils, at first glance, don't need any more depth at center. Andrei Loktionov emerged on the top line, Adam Henrique is a young playoff hero and should continue to get better and Travis Zajac signed a lengthy deal this offseason. The CBJB fourth line may have been the Devils' best line this season and certainly doesn't need to be changed.
Still, the New York Rangers have a center in Brad Richards that could hit the open market through the post-lockout amnesty clause, and the Devils desperately need to improve their top six.
Richards signed an impossibly long and expensive contract before falling apart this year for the Rangers. In the 2013 playoffs, Richards has been relegated to fourth line minutes after failing to produce. Still, he could be an effective center with the right team, it just seems apparent that the Rangers and Richards don't work.
John Tortorella is famous for putting his best players in the doghouse, benching top talent to prove a point after a mistake. He jettisoned Marion Gaborik after repeatedly hiding the talented scorer on his bench when his aggressive play backfired. With Richards finding himself on the bench in a system that never really fit his style of play, it would make sense if the Rangers used their amnesty clause to get below the new salary cap.
Though Richards and Torts worked well together in the past, the duo is failing now.
The Devils would be a great fit for Richards. He could play alongside one of the game's most dynamic scorers in Ilya Kovalchuk, and in a system that stresses aggression, Richards wouldn't have to worry about riding the pine.
It's clear that Brad Richards needs out of New York — why not take the PATH over to New Jersey this offseason? If the Devils offer two years, $8.5 million to the possible soon-to-be free agent, it could work out well for both sides.

Singer/Songwriter Drew Schofield to Release New EP Following Indiegogo Campaign
Denver-based singer/songwriter Drew Schofield has seen a fair share of success since the launch of his music career in late 2012. In March of 2013, Drew was hand-selected by Grammy Award Winning producer John Shanks as a top 10 finalist for the Guitar Center Singer Songwriter 2 competition. The recognition helped open new doors for touring, including solo tours to northern CA and NY/PA. During one such trip to San Francisco, Schofield was fortunate enough to share the stage with Grammy Award winner John Mayer during a special appearance at Hotel Utah. Just months later, Drew was selected as the winner in Southwest Airlines' "Take the Stage in Music City" national music competition.
Drew Schofield's latest release, "150 Million (-1)," being released August 22, 2014 is a collection of songs on various social justice themes, especially highlighting the cause of international adoption. Schofield hosted a successful Indiegogo crowdfunding campaign, raising over $10,000. All funds raised in advance as well as all future sales have been dedicated to Project: Home, a new non-profit being established by Drew and his wife Chelsea. Project: Home hopes to help raise awareness, funding, and resources for individuals and couples who wish to help make an impact in the 150 million orphans across the world through adoption. The money raised so far is enabling the Schofields to complete their adoption of a little girl from Uganda, thus the significance of the EP title, "150 Million (-1)."
LaunchPad Studios in Arvada, CO was a significant contributor to the EP project, offering their recording, mixing, and mastering services at a fraction of retail value as a statement of support for the Schofields' efforts with Project: Home.
Fellow Denver-based singer/songwriters Dave Preston, Lindsey Saunders, Megan Burtt and Andy Palmer contributed their talents to the EP, and the record is a testament to Drew's continued growth as a vocalist and songwriter. "It just feels right to use my music to bring people together and make a difference in the world," says Schofield.
Drew Schofield has elected to release a single, "Open Season," a month ahead of the EP release, and it can be purchased now on iTunes, Amazon, CD Baby and many other online stores.

Cast announced for 2014 Wexford Festival Opera Festival, Running Oct 22-Nov 2
Wexford Festival Opera has announced the casting for the internationally renowned Festival, which this year will run for 12 days, from 22 October to 2 November.
The evening main stage opera productions are Salomé by Antoine Mariotte (1875-1944), based on the play by Oscar Wilde, the 19th-century comedy Don Bucefalo by Antonio Cagnoni (1828-1896) and the European premiere of Kevin Puts's first opera Silent Night which won the 2012 Pulitzer Prize in Music. The opera's libretto by Mark Campbell was inspired by the 2005 film Joyeux Noël about the spontaneous 1914 truce between the combatants in the First World War.
Wexford Festival Opera each year attracts audiences from home and abroad who travel to Wexford to be part of this unique celebration of opera. Renowned for its presentation of rarely-performed operas (winner of 'Best Re-discovered Work' for Cristina, regina di Svezia at this year's International Opera Awards), the Festival also provides audiences with an opportunity to experience performances from leading names and emerging Irish and International talent in opera.
This year's Festival features 60 singers, many of whom will be making their Wexford debuts. The Wexford Festival Orchestra will bring the total company members, including the artistic teams, to more than 150.
The Festival opens with Mariotte's Salomé conducted by David Angus and directed by Rosetta Cucchi, with designs by Tiziano Santi (sets) and Claudia Pernigotti (costumes). The Israeli mezzo-soprano Na'ama Goldman will make her Festival debut in the title role, while Canadian mezzo-soprano Nora Sourouzian will sing the role of Hérodias. Nora impressed audiences and critics alike last year in her performances in the Massenet double bill, in which she sang two widely contrasting roles in the same evening, demonstrating her versatility and talent.
Joining the cast in Salomé is Russian baritone Igor Golovatenko, who will sing the role of Iokanaan. Igor sang in last year's production of Cristina, regina di Svezia. America bass Scott Wilde will make his Wexford Festival debut as Hérod and Irish tenor Eamonn Mulhall returns to his home town of Wexford to sing the role of Narraboth.
Sergio Alapont and Kevin Newbury return to Wexford to conduct and direct Don Bucefalo. Designs are by Erhard Rom (sets) and Vita Tzykun (costumes) in their house debuts. The Italian baritone Alessandro Spina will return to Wexford to sing the title role. Also joining the cast, and new to the Festival, are Italian baritone Davide Bartolucci as Don Marco, Canadian coloratura soprano Marie-Ève Munger as Rosa and American tenor Matthew Newlin as Count Belprato.

Titanic Belfast has been built on the old shipyard where the liner was built and almost 100,000 people have already bought tickets to tour the £97m building.
Choirs, street performers and ship horns all played their part in celebrating the opening of Titanic Belfast, the dramatic structure in the city's Titanic Quarter that houses exhibits and visitor experiences devoted to the ill-fated liner.
The building was opened by the First and Deputy First Minister on Saturday and it is expected that around 425,000 people will visit the attraction in the first year.
The Enterprise Minister Arlene Foster was also at the launch, as was Belfast's Lord Mayor Niall Ó Donnghaile. Also present was 105-year-old Belfast man Cyril Quigley, who saw the Titanic leave Belfast Lough ahead of her maiden voyage a century ago.
The story of the Titanic's sinking, in which more than 1,500 people died, is told throughout nine galleries at the six storey centre.
The design of the building is based on the bow of the Titanic and has been built right beside the slipway where the liner was floated in 1911.
Peter Robinson said: "Titanic Belfast marks not just a commemoration of the internationally recognised story, but a new beginning for Northern Ireland on the world stage.
"It is a genuinely global brand that will be a superb draw for visitors to our shores reflecting the importance that the Northern Ireland Executive attaches to tourism as a major arm of our economic strategy."
A memorial garden has been planted at the slipway, with different-sized strips of grass and wood representing the proportion of lives lost and saved among the crew and first, second and third class passengers when the ship sank after striking an iceberg on her maiden voyage.
Martin McGuinness said people should be proud of Titanic Belfast.
"Titanic is such a global story that it is only right and fitting that it is properly remembered in the city of its birth.
"For too long, perhaps more than anything because of a sense of profound sorrow, the Titanic has never been truly remembered at home but all that has now changed and I have no doubt that Titanic Belfast will be a focal point for locals and visitors alike, now and in the future."
The launch also marks the beginning of the Titanic Festival, which runs until 22 April and includes events such as the MTV Titanic Sounds concert, a light show which will be projected onto the building and the opening of a memorial garden at Belfast City Hall.
Ms Foster said it was a "proud day for Belfast".
"Located beside the very slipway where Titanic was built, Titanic Belfast has an authenticity which will bring the ship's legend to life.
"Together with the exciting range of events that are taking place across Northern Ireland this year and next, this will establish Northern Ireland as a key player in the global tourism industry and a must-see destination for visitors from all over the world," she said.

The Vibe for Spring 2013
The Kenzo show began with a coordinated flurry this season, as models jumped and somersaulted across color-blocked red and yellow platforms. The same structured dynamism was on display on the clothing, as well, with a whirlwind of boldly juxtaposed patterns and hues: From graphic letter prints, to yellow herringbone, to three shades of camo spliced onto a single look, the collection was an explosion removed from the minimalist trend sweeping the rest of Spring 2013, bringing streetwear's chromatic gynmastics to the menswear crowd.

Georgian Jews, which comprise one of the world's oldest and proudest Diaspora communities, have lived in Georgia and the region for over 2,600 years. Tradition holds that Jews migrated to this area during the Babylonian captivity beginning in 586 BCE. From the beginning the Georgian Jewish community separated itself from the native population; however, though separate, Georgian Jews tried to live in peace with their non-Jewish neighbors. Unfortunately, Antisemitism made this practically impossible.While there are several accounts acknowledging the presence of Jews, not much is known about early Jewish history of Georgia. During the Middle Ages, life for the Jewish community was extremely difficult. After the terror of the Mongol invasion of 1236 CE, most Jews were forced to live in the independent western region of Georgia. There, they formed small communities along the Black Sea. However, their extreme poverty eventually forced them into serfdom - a humiliating fate that would plague them for 500 years. Jewish serfs were sold from master to master. As a result, Jewish families and communities were torn apart, and Jewish life became virtually impossible. When Georgia became part of the Russian Empire in 1801, the serfs became the property of the government and were forced to pay taxes to the Tsar. However, by the mid 1860's serfdom was abolished and the former serfs were allowed to move to villages where other Jews were living. This intermingling led to the formation of Jewish communities throughout Georgia that became very close and protective of themselves. Unfortunately, antisemitism once again reared its ugly head under the Tsarist Government and Jews, who left the fields and began working as merchants and traders, were seen as a threat and as competition.To date, Georgia has been the scene of six blood libels against Jews. The first was recorded in 1850 - it was the first not only for Georgia, but the first in the entire Russian Empire. The worst case occurred in 1878 when nice Jews were accused of killing a Christian child to make Matzo with his blood for Passover. While the accused were exonerated, but blood libels continued to plague Georgia.Georgia enjoyed a short period of independence after the Russian Revolution, but by 1921 the Red Army invaded the Republic and seized control. Life under the Soviets, at first, was tolerable and basic freedoms were enjoyed, but quickly followingthe Georgian Rebellion of 1924 anti-Zionism and antisemitism became the norm. Jews were persecuted religiously and financially and were not allowed to leave the country.

CARACAS (Reuters) - Venezuela's opposition warned that talks with the government of President Nicolas Maduro are "in crisis" due to repression of student demonstrations and officials' refusal to grant concessions that could defuse three months of street protests.
Ramon Guillermo Aveledo, head of the opposition umbrella group MUD, said Socialist Party leaders have undermined the dialogue with constant insults and a refusal to consider amnesty for opposition-linked prisoners.
"We can say today, thirty days after the process started, that the dialogue is in crisis and it is the fault of the government," said Aveledo in a statement late on Tuesday.
An opposition source said it was unlikely they would attend Thursday's scheduled next round of talks, which are being mediated by representatives of the Vatican and Unasur group of South American nations as a way to stem this year's unrest.
Maduro on Tuesday night said he did not plan to halt dialogue and hoped the next round would go forward.
The MUD is also seeking the release of demonstrators arrested during recent protests, as well as participation in the selection of new leaders of Venezuela's electoral council.
In what has been the OPEC member's worst unrest in a decade, at least 42 people have died in violence around the protests and about 800 have been injured. About 150 people remain in jail from nearly 3,000 rounded up since February.
Aveledo's comments may also be aimed at boosting pressure on the government to release former Caracas police commissioner Ivan Simonovis, who was sentenced to a 30-year prison term for his involvement in a 2002 coup that briefly ousted late socialist leader Hugo Chavez.
Freeing Simonovis has been a rallying cry for the opposition. Supporters say Simonovis suffers osteoporosis and is held in a tiny cell without daylight.
While their political leaders argue, polls show that Venezuelans are far more concerned with scarcities of basic goods and violent crime than debates over human rights and democracy.

OTG has announced that it is deploying more than 7,000 new iPads at three major airports over the next 18 months to give travellers a new level of access to tech amenities and high-quality food at the gates.
This deployment represents an investment of more than US$10 million in technology and infrastructure alone. Combined with OTG's newly renovated chef-driven restaurants, the company aims to improve the traveller's airport experience.
To date, OTG has deployed 300 iPads in LaGuardia Airport Terminal D, with hundreds more to be installed throughout the terminal during the summer. The full deployment at the three major airport hubs will occur over the next 18 months. OTG will deploy more than 2,000 new iPads at LaGuardia Terminals C and D; an additional 2,500 at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport; and another 2,500 new iPads throughout Toronto Pearson International Airport.
"We believe this to be the largest deployment of consumer-facing iPads in the world, and for us, it's just the beginning," said Rick Blatstein, chief executive officer of OTG. "We have plans to roll out thousands of additional iPads at other airports around the United States and the world. Technology is an important complement to the customer service experience."
For travelers, this means a new level of comfort at the airport. The experience starts when a customer sits down in front of a new iPad at one of OTG's chef-driven restaurants or newly renovated seating areas at the gates. From there, they can order meals through an intuitive visual menu, where OTG wait staff is on hand to assist throughout the entire process. Orders are then prepared fresh, and delivered to their seat in 15 minutes or less.
Travellers can also use the iPads to log in to their Facebook, Twitter and personal email accounts. Travellers can also check their flight status, play games and watch the news through pre-loaded apps on the iPads.

Report Roundup
Educational Technology
"Teachers' Use of Educational Technology in U.S. Public Schools: 2009"
Teachers in high-poverty schools are less likely to use technology to keep in touch with parents and students throughout the school year than teachers in schools with low poverty, says a U.S. Department of Education report.
Ninety-two percent of teachers in low-poverty schools used e-mail to address individual concerns with parents, compared with 48 percent of teachers in high- poverty schools. Sixty-nine percent of teachers in schools with low poverty sent out group updates through e-mail, while only 39 percent of teachers in high-poverty schools reported delivering information that way.
Data was gathered from a national survey of teachers completed during the winter and spring of 2009 by the National Center for Education Statistics.

From the Sponsor's Desk - Ten Steps to Lean SuccessWritten by Drew Davison
In my last post, Beware the Change within a Change, we looked at the damage done when one organization didn't pay sufficient attention to a change within a change. It's easy to get distracted when dealing with a major project, like an acquisition. But, as we learned, being busy with a big change is no excuse for ignoring other significant changes that are going on concurrently. Appropriate oversight and diligence is always needed.
In this post, we'll review the approach new owners took with a successful, forty year old, formerly family owned manufacturing company to improve bottom line results. They used just the right blend of project and change management best practices and lean techniques to transform the organization and improve performance while retaining and growing their customer base.
Thanks to D.N. for the details on this case.
The Situation
This manufacturing organization had been recently acquired by a private equity firm. The acquirers justified the acquisition on a number of factors: the company had a long history of success, profitability and growth; it had a diverse and loyal customer base; it had narrow but very competitive product lines; the family wanted to sell. In addition, there was an expectation that profitability could be boosted significantly by improving manufacturing productivity and quality and offering a suit of new products.
Don't Be a Victim, Break the RulesWritten by Charles Gallagher
"You are remembered for the rules you break."
Douglas MacArthur
Anyone who has studied the history of medicine will notice that some of our biggest breakthroughs have been the result of a single scientist breaking the rules. History tells us these are the same people who have also effectively changed a conventional paradigm. For example, the world is flat, wash your hands, earth revolves around the sun. Often times, the rule-breaking scientist pays a considerable price for being a change agent. The pain of change forces an outlandish idea to become a piece of conventional wisdom.
Even in the social sciences, we often see rule breaking as a means to progress and enlightenment. Just look at Rosa Parks and others like her during the Civil Rights Movement. Nelson Mandela in the face of Apartheid. Ronald Reagan challenge to Gorbachev to tear the wall down.
Avoiding Top Project PitfallsWritten by Lisa Anderson
Project results drive business performance! In my experience in working with countless companies ranging from small to multi-billion dollar ones, I've yet to run across one that wasn't dependent on project results to meet critical company objectives. Actually, quite the opposite is typically the case – too many projects with too few resources are vital to performance. Thus, those executives who find ways to ensure project success will outpace the competition.
For example, one of my significant manufacturing aerospace clients is experiencing delivery challenges. Thus, there are several projects which are geared towards improving the order fulfilment processes to improve delivery performance. If they do not deliver results, customers will leave. What could be more important than that?
The bottom line is that project failure is not an option! Yet 0% of my clients have enough resources, and they are especially short on the right resources with the right skills to deliver these projects. Given this state of affairs, it is important to understand the top project pitfalls – and, of course, how to avoid them.

We are reaching the end of the beginning with WebRTC, and real systems using this technology have begun to appear. One challenge that faces every WebRTC deployment (in some form or another) is identity management. For example, if you have an existing service – possibly built on a variety of different PaaS/SaaS offerings – and you want to add real-time communications you are faced with a challenge relating to user management, authentication, authorization, and validation. Service providers will want to use their existing identities, but these will have credentials already that are (hopefully) i...

How do APIs and IoT relate? The answer is not as simple as merely adding an API on top of a dumb device, but rather about understanding the architectural patterns for implementing an IoT fabric. There are typically two or three trends: Exposing the device to a management framework Exposing that management framework to a business centric logic Exposing that business layer and data to end users. This last trend is the IoT stack, which involves a new shift in the separation of what stuff happens, where data lives and where the interface lies. For instance, it's a mix of architectural styles ...

Scott Jenson leads a project called The Physical Web within the Chrome team at Google. Project members are working to take the scalability and openness of the web and use it to talk to the exponentially exploding range of smart devices. Nearly every company today working on the IoT comes up with the same basic solution: use my server and you'll be fine. But if we really believe there will be trillions of these devices, that just can't scale. We need a system that is open a scalable and by using the URL as a basic building block, we open this up and get the same resilience that the web enjoys.

Divorce battle could get ugly Brad Biggs
Deion Sanders filed for divorce in December when he said he was on good terms with his soon-to-be ex-wife Pilar.
That was then and this is now.
According to TMZ.com, Pilar has filed court documents that accuse Sanders of cheating on her with multiple parties.
Per the report, she says Sanders "has been guilty of unkind, uncaring, insensitive, cruel and unusual treatment of (Pilar) ... as well as physical, mental and emotional abuse of (Pilar) and the parties' children."
She also said Sanders "committed numerous acts of adultery ... on numerous occasions throughout the marriage" and he "voluntarily had sexual intercourse with others who were not his spouse."
In the documents, she also accused Sanderson of being a bully who "suffers from a narcissistic personality disorder, needs a full psychological evaluation."
Pilar Sanders is requesting the judge throw out the couples prenuptial agreement. Sounds like this could turn into a knockdown, drag-out battle if it already hasn't.
