LOS ANGELES - NBC said on Tuesday it is broadening its comedies to bring in bigger audiences, and drove home the point by bringing out what could be the network's newest star - a scene-stealing monkey called Dr. Rizzo.
Rizzo, a capuchin monkey whose Hollywood resume includes the movie "The Hangover Part 2," is just one animal in a cast of tigers, cats, owls, boa constrictors and dogs in the upcoming "Animal Practice" - a comedy set in a veterinary hospital that NBC hopes will have mass appeal.
"We're going to transition with our comedy programs and try to broaden the audience," NBC entertainment chairman Bob Greenblatt told TV reporters on Tuesday.
Greenblatt said that although shows such as "The Office," "Community" and "30 Rock" are "award winning and incredibly sophisticated and clever," they don't bring in enough viewers for the network.
"They do tend to be a little more narrow and sophisticated than we would want for a broad audience," Greenblatt said.
NBC has ordered seven new comedies for the upcoming season starting in September, including "Animal Practice," and a show executive-produced by comedian Jimmy Fallon about young, hands-on dads and their babies called "Guys with Kids."
"I hope these new shows are also clever and smart but can also broaden the size of the audience," Greenblatt said.
"Animal Practice" stars Justin Kirk as a cranky veterinarian who relates better to pets than people. Dr. Rizzo is his cute resident sidekick in what producers on Tuesday called a workplace comedy with a twist.
"I have never seen a show where human behavior is seen through the prism of animal behavior and we were really excited by the possibility of that," executive producer Alessandro Tanaka said.
Tanaka and the show's other producers say the comedy is as much about the relationships - professional and personal - between the human inhabitants of the animal hospital.
"It is a smart, character-driven comedy which also happens to have a monkey in it. It's not the other way round," said executive producer Scott Armstrong.
But as if to challenge that notion, in zoomed Dr. Rizzo, perched on a toy ambulance with sirens blazing and giving a wave to assembled television critics at their bi-annual meeting.
"She is super cool. She is the most famous monkey in Hollywood," said Kirk. "She is pretty amazing."
U.S. viewers will get a sneak peek of "Animal Practice" next month during NBC's coverage of the London Olympics, before starting its run in September.

No Holds Barred: Muslim grievances do not justify murder
Borderline Views: The spirit of Ben-Gurion
The last of the anti-Semites

PAKISTANI CHRISTIANS pray at a church in Lahore 370.
(photo credit:REUTERS)
In 2012 in Pakistan, as Christian children were singing carols inside their
church, Muslim men from a nearby mosque barged in with an axe, destroyed the
furniture, desecrated the altar, and beat the children. Their justification for
such violence? "You are disturbing our prayers.... How dare you use the
microphone and speakers?" Welcome to the true face of "Muslim grievance" – what
I call the "how dare you" phenomenon. Remember it next time "progressive" media
and politicians tell you that Muslim terrorism – whether the 9/11 strikes, Fort
Hood massacre, Boston bombing or recent London beheading – are products of
grievances against the West. Missing from their analyses is the supremacist
nature of Muslim grievances.The Conditions of Omar, a foundational
medieval Muslim text, mandates this sense of superiority over
non-Muslims.Among other stipulations, the Conditions commands conquered
Christians not to raise their "voices during prayer or readings in churches
anywhere near Muslims" (hence the axattack in Pakistan). It also commands them
not to display any signs of Christianity – specifically Bibles and crosses – not
to build churches, and not to criticize the prophet.If the supremacist
nature of Islamic law is still not clear enough, the Conditions command
Christians to give up their seats to Muslims on demand.By analogy,
consider when Rosa Parks refused to give up her bus seat to white passengers in
a white supremacist environment.Sincere grievances arose: how dare she
think herself our equal? But were such grievances legitimate? Should they have
been accommodated? In my new book, Crucified Again: Exposing Islam's New War on
Christians, I document hundreds of attacks on Christians.In most cases,
the Muslim attackers are truly aggrieved. For example, in 2007 in Turkey, a
publishing house distributing Bibles was stormed and three of its Christian
employees tortured, disemboweled, and finally murdered. One suspect later said:
"We didn't do this for ourselves, but for our religion [Islam]....Our
religion is being destroyed."Similarly, in 2011 in Egypt, after a 17-
year-old Christian student refused to obey his Muslim teacher's orders to cover
up his cross, the teacher and some Muslim students attacked, beat and ultimately
murdered him.These Turkish and Egyptian murderers were truly aggrieved:
the Conditions clearly state that Christians must not "produce a cross or Bible"
around Muslims. How dare the Egyptian student and Turkish Bible publishers
refuse to comply? In Indonesia, where it is becoming next to impossible for
Christians to build churches, Christians congregated to celebrate Christmas 2012
on empty land where they hoped to build a church – only to be attacked by
Muslims who hurled cow dung and bags of urine at them as they
prayed.These Muslims were also sincerely aggrieved: how dare these
Christians think they can build a church when the Conditions forbid it? (See
Crucified Again for a new translation of The Conditions of Omar.) Weeks ago in
Pakistan, after a Christian man was accused of insulting Muslim prophet Muhammad
– another big no-no according to the Conditions – 3,000 Muslims burned down two
churches and some 200 Christian homes.Take a look at their pictures;
these are undoubtedly people with a "grievance."Most recently in
Pakistan, when a Muslim slapped a Christian and the latter reciprocated, the
Muslim exclaimed "How dare a Christian slap me?" Anti- Christian violence
immediately commenced.In short, any time non-Muslims dare to overstep
their Shari'a-designated "inferior" status, supremacist Muslims become violently
aggrieved.From here, one can begin to understand the ultimate Muslim
grievance: Israel.For if "infidel" Christians are deemed inferior and
attacked for exercising their basic human rights, like freedom of worship, by
aggrieved Muslims, how must Muslims feel about Jews – the descendants of pigs
and apes, according to the Koran – exercising power and authority over fellow
Muslims in what is perceived to be Muslim land? How dare they! Of course, if
grievances against Israel were really about justice and displaced Palestinians,
Muslims – and their Western appeasers – would be aggrieved by the fact that
millions of Christians are currently being displaced by Muslim
invaders.Needless to say, they are not.So the next time you hear
that Muslim rage and terrorism are products of grievance, remember that this is
absolutely true. But these "grievances" are not predicated on any universal
standards of equality or justice, only a supremacist worldview.The
author, a Middle East and Islam specialist, is the author of the new book,
Crucified Again: Exposing Islam's New War on Christians (Regnery, 2013). He is a
Shillman Fellow at the David Horowitz Freedom Center and associate fellow at the
Middle East Forum.

TAMPA, Fla. _ Reggie Jackson once nearly came out of retirement, as Andy Pettitte will formally do Tuesday when he returns to Yankees camp. It was midseason 1988, the Yankees felt they needed a boost and Jackson was just about persuaded to give it a try for one more October.
"I would have done it," Jackson said in the Yankees clubhouse the other day, "but there would have been so much attention on me going to the minors in Columbus that I didn't want to go."
Besides, he had grown more comfortable as an ex-player than he had been as a player. "I was mentally gone. I didn't believe it was because my physical skills had eroded. They had, but I could have helped somebody," he said. "The media demands, along with the physical demand of getting ready was too much. And the game was changing. With all those things together, it was time for me to retire."
The point is, it is different for every player. In a way, though, it also is the same. The decision about when it is time to go, and to stay gone, is intense and complicated. It also stays with you for a long time. So Jackson and the other former Yankee greats who are in camp as special instructors all can identify with Pettitte, who signed a minor-league contract last Friday and is scheduled to throw his first bullpen session as a former ex-player today.
They know that Pettitte has done deep soul searching that involves weighing the privilege, the joy and the riches that go with being a major league ballplayer against the physical toll and the urge to have a regular family life. "Mariano is handling it now, and Derek is dealing with the end of his career. He's handling it in his own way," Mr. October said.
One thing is sure. No one begrudges Pettitte the right to change his mind and absolutely no one in Yankee camp blames him for wanting to try again.
"You know what? When it's time, the game will leave you behind. You don't have to leave the game behind," said Goose Gossage, the Hall of Famer who is here working with Yankees pitchers. "Chuck Tanner told me this my first time in the big leagues. He came up to me and got right in my face and said, 'You make them tear this stinking uniform off.' And I did."
Yankees instructors know that Pettitte is among the lucky ones, who went out on his own terms rather than being released or uninvited. He pitched well in 2010, which is a major part of why he and the team believe he can come all the way back.
Jackson wasn't the dominant slugger he had been in 1987, his curtain call season with the A's. But he did hit 15 home runs in 374 at-bats. That was enough to make him leave with a good feeling. "I had appreciated the gift I had. I appreciated the opportunity to change my life, to change my whole family's life," he said. "I looked at it as an unbelievable present I had been given. I didn't have any negativity."
Closure does not come so easily to everyone. Joe Girardi was unsure about retiring in 2003. "You know I actually prayed about it. I asked God to make it evident to me," he said. Two injured discs and two locked vertebrae later, the former catcher said, "It was real evident I couldn't stay healthy."
Bernie Williams, another instructor here this spring, never has officially retired. "Well, he thinks he did," Derek Jeter joked. Jeter added that he could not see himself returning after a year off, as Pettitte is doing. "Pitchers are different," the captain said.
Pitchers are not only different from hitters, they are all distinct from each other, especially in deciding when it's time to move on.
"When I said I was done, I was done," Ron Guidry said, thinking back to 1988. "When I got home, I said this is what I want to do and I meant it."
So he never had even a hint of a thought of a comeback? "Not once," he said. "But not everybody thinks the way I do."

Who Is the Best Gossip Girl Couple Ever?
Who Is the Best Gossip Girl Couple So Far?
by Entertainment 88 Reactions 35 Shares Print
In case you missed it, Blair called it quits with Chuck on this week's episode of Gossip Girl. All good things come to an end for our upper east siders (often after just a few episodes), but is there still a chance for these two? The latest promo for the show seems to think so, paying an over-the-top homage to Chuck and Blair's tortured love story. While their initial hookup back in season one is one of my favorite episodes, I'm not sure that Chuck and Blair are my all-time favorite couple. Who do you think is the best couple Gossip Girl has ever seen?

Vasectomy reversal: first cut isn't final
(But at £3,000 for a reversal, it isn't a snip)
Monday 30 March 2009
The rising divorce rate and boom in second marriages is leading to a surge in demand for an operation on the most sensitive part of the male anatomy. Breaking up, as the song says, is hard to do – but falling in love again and creating a new family poses a particular challenge for men who have had the snip.
Almost 40 per cent of weddings are second marriages and for men who have undergone a vasectomy, believing their family was complete, the only prospect of having children with their new partner is an operation to reverse it.
But surgery to restore male fertility is tricky, costly and not offered on the NHS, other than in exceptional circumstances. A spokeswoman for BPAS, the pregnancy advisory charity, said: "We are seeing a rise in enquiries about vasectomy reversals but there is no NHS commitment to fund them. Lots of men contact us but when they find the cost is £3,000 and the outcome is uncertain we don't hear from them again."
"Second and third families are being given a really hard time. Partners come together for whatever reason late in life and want to have children and we don't think that should be seen as a bad thing."
No figures are kept on vasectomy reversals but doctors say it is not limited to men in new partnerships. Some couples in stable relationships change their minds about wanting to enlarge their families at key moments such as when the children leave home for school or university.
Vasectomy reversal is not included under the guidance issued to the NHS by the National Institute for Clinical Excellence (NICE) on fertility treatment. One PCT in Yorkshire agreed to pay for surgery for the father of a family, but only because he had lost a child in an accident.
To fill the gap left by the NHS, private specialist clinics have sprung up around the country offering the operation and there is a thriving trade in Harley Street.
Around 16 per cent of men in Britain have had a vasectomy, according to figures from the General Household Survey. The operation is a simple 20 minute procedure, carried out under local anaesthetic, in which the tube carrying sperm from the testicles is cut and tied off. The man still produces semen, from the prostate gland, and can have sex and ejaculate in the normal way, but is incapable of fathering children. Some clinics advertise "laser vasectomies" but this offers no advantages because an incision in the scrotum must still be made and the laser used, in place of a scalpel, to cut the tube.
Reversing the operation is a difficult procedure, requiring precision surgery to reconnect the tube conducted with the aid of a powerful microscope under general anaesthetic.
Even if the surgery is successful and a normal sperm count restored – claimed success rates range up to 90 per cent – a subsequent pregnancy is not guaranteed. Sperm quality can be poor and some men form antibodies against their own sperm. The chances of ending up with a baby are put by BPAS at 55 per cent if the reversal is performed within 10 years and 25 per cent if over 10 years.
Duncan Harriss, a consultant urologist who runs a specialist vasectomy reversal clinic at Nottingham's private BMI Park Hospital, said he was performing 150 operations a year compared with 10 to 15 a decade ago.
"In the last three or four years I have done a lot more," he said. "I can't say how much is due to increasing demand and how much to the clinic becoming better known. Sadly, marriages break down, divorce is rising and people's circumstances change. People tend to come for treatment quite soon after remarriage when they realise the length of time since they had the vasectomy is important.
"Nowadays, specialist clinics offer reasonable value. It is better than going to a jobbing surgeon who does the odd one or two. I went to the US to learn the technique and I am far better at it than 10 years ago. We get a lot of people from London; costs are lower in the east Midlands."
Some doctors say the NHS should offer the operation because it has a moral obligation to reverse a procedure it has carried out. Latest figures show three out of four vasectomies were performed on the NHS in 2007-08. Although the number of reversals is not known, US research suggested 6 per cent of men change their minds at some point after vasectomy and seek to restore their fertility.
Sam Nag, a retired consultant urologist who still performs vasectomy reversals at the BPAS clinic in Brighton, said: "The NHS stopped doing the reversals in the late 1990s as a result of budget constraints. In my view, if you are offering one service you should also offer the other. The divorce rate is so high there are many cases where men will want to reverse what they had done earlier. But the managers holding the health authority budgets put it at the bottom of the list."
Men who request vasectomies are advised that the operation is irreversible and they should only contemplate it if they are confident that they will not want more children in the future.
One possibility for men who want to keep their options open is to consider freezing some sperm before the operation. The stored sperm can then be used in IVF should the need arise in the future.
In practice this is likely to present difficulties as it requires the man to contemplate a future in which he may not be with his current partner – at a moment when she is likely to be sitting beside him.
With men in whom vasectomy reversal has failed, the last option is the use of a technique in which sperm can be extracted directly from the testes. However, this is more expensive than a reversal and has a lower success rate.
Dr Nag said: "We do tell men seeking vasectomy that a reversal is possible but we warn them that it is an expensive procedure, not available on the NHS and the results are not that good. It is difficult to know what the results are in terms of pregnancies because the men often do not stay in touch. Follow-up is difficult."

Paul Johnson, Accountant, 43: My second chance at fatherhood
Paul Johnson and his second wife, Hayley, were overjoyed when they discovered last summer that she was pregnant. Max, their son, was born four weeks ago and is living proof that it is possible to restore a man's fertility, even 15 years after a vasectomy.
Mr Johnson has two children from his first marriage and had the snip in 1992, two years after his second son was born. The marriage broke down, he got divorced and later remarried to Hayley, who also had a child from a previous relationship. They both accepted that they would not be able to have more children together.
Soon after their marriage, however, they began to wonder if it might be possible. Mr Johnson searched the web on vasectomy reversal, looking at success rates and costs, and went to see urological surgeon Duncan Harriss at the BMI Park Hospital in Nottingham.
"He told me my chances were very slim because of the length of time that had elapsed since my vasectomy – from 1992 to 2007," Mr Johnson said yesterday. "If Hayley had been 35 instead of 34 he might have drawn the line because the duration of my vasectomy combined with her age meant a pregnancy would have been highly unlikely. My response was that I am a big believer in fate and if it is meant to work it will."
Three months later, he submitted a sperm sample to be tested: "Mr Harris called personally to tell me the results because he was so impressed by the sperm count."
Exactly a year after that, Hayley took a pregnancy test and discovered that their son was on his way. To cap it all, it was Father's Day.

CORTLANDT MANOR, N.Y. – The Hendrick Hudson High School football team will try to move up in the standings when it hosts Yonkers at 5 p.m. Saturday.
Which team will win the Hendrick Hudson vs. Yonkers football game on Saturday?View Results
Which team will win the Hendrick Hudson vs. Yonkers football game on Saturday?
Hendrick Hudson Sailors96%
Yonkers Bulldogs4%
Hen Hud has been up and down all season. The Sailors blew out Riverside, 54-8, in week four but then suffered a 38-3 loss at Sleepy Hollow.
The offense has carried Hen Hud all season. The Sailors scored 29, 23 and 54 points in their three wins but just six and three points in their two losses.
Hen Hud now has a golden opportunity to move up the Class A League 1 standings. The Sailors' 3-2 record is the same as five other teams in the league. Harrison is the only undefeated team in League 1, and both Sleepy Hollow and Walter Panas sit above the Sailors at 4-1.
If Hen Hud beats Yonkers, it would give itself a leg up in the standings and could separate itself from the pack and help close the gap with the three teams above it.
The Bulldogs have struggled mightily this season as they have been shut out four times and have scored just six points in five games. Yonkers also has allowed 36.2 points per game and has given up at least 28 points in each contest.

Sharks GM Will Lose His Job If They Experience Playoff Failure

Comments (0)
from Tim Panaccio of CSNPhilly,
Now that Dany Heatley has been traded to San Jose, if the Sharks don't reverse their long history of playoff failure, it will cost general manager Doug Wilson his job….
"We're completely comfortable with the type of player Dany is, and more importantly, with the type of person he is," Wilson told reporters. "There are often cases where players have asked for trades. ... Sometimes, it is best for everybody involved. We have zero concerns about that."
What Wilson should be concerned about, however, is his job. The Sharks have greatly underachieved in recent years, even with the presence of Joe Thornton. They've been expected to challenge or outright win the Cup, but have faltered in the playoffs.

Yankees reliever Chamberlain nearing game action
Joba Chamberlain could soon pitch in a minor league game for the first time since injuring an ankle during spring training.
The Associated Press
Joba Chamberlain could soon pitch in a minor league game for the first time since injuring an ankle during spring training.
The New York Yankees reliever said he is scheduled to throw in a simulated game on Friday. Chamberlain threw a pair of 20-pitch segments Monday during his third batting practice session at the team's minor league complex.
"Especially after today with the way I felt, the way my command was, I 100 percent believe I can get big league hitters out right now," Chamberlain said. "That's half the battle, saying you can do it. We're over that hump. I felt like today was my best day, overall."
Chamberlain dislocated his right ankle bouncing on a trampoline with his son March 22 and expects to see game action within two weeks. The right-hander was coming back from elbow ligament-replacement surgery at the time of the ankle injury.
"Everything is good," Chamberlain said. "The ankle is taken care of. The ankle is fine. My elbow is, obviously, great. I just have to continue to maintain those two good feelings and get back into some games."
Chamberlain also took part in defensive drills, with New York manager Joe Girardi and pitching coach Larry Rothschild watching. The Yankees are in Florida for a three-game series against the Tampa Bay Rays.
"Another step," Chamberlain said.
Girardi was impressed by what he saw.
"It was fun to watch him," Girardi said. "I thought he looked good. I'm pleased."
Also, ace CC Sabathia, who strained his left groin July 24, felt good after he resumed throwing Monday. The left-hander played catch and threw long toss in the outfield.
Notes: Girardi said DH-OF Raul Ibanez, who cut his lip and broke a tooth when he hit his face on the bench avoiding a foul ball Sunday in the dugout, was scheduled to re-join the team Monday night. ... LHP Pedro Feliciano, rehabbing after left shoulder surgery, is scheduled to have his next bullpen outing Tuesday and said he could throw batting practice next week. ... The Yankees optioned RHP Cody Wade to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre to make room for RHP Chad Qualls, who joined the team after being obtained in a trade Sunday with Philadelphia.

(See the image below.) The "sexy" and uncharacteristically risque cover photo — paired with the objectifying headline "Who knew Michelle Williams had this body?" — will surely raise the actress' profile in the run-up to the Oscars, and is reminding pundits of Kate Winslet's nearly-nude 2009 Vanity Fair cover, which some consider a factor in her narrow win over Meryl Streep in a tight Best Actress race that year. This year, the category is once again neck and neck. At last week's Golden Globes, both Streep and Williams took home trophies: Streep for Best Actress in a Drama (The Iron Lady), Williams for Best Actress in a Musical or Comedy (Marilyn).
The reaction: Sadly, when it comes to the Best Actress Oscar, you can often boost your chances by titillating voters with a sexy photo, says Sasha Stone at Awards Daily. The typically demure Williams is wise to fire up her sexuality — she "might pull off an upset after all." She's certainly garnering "attention at just the right time," says Guy Lodge at HitFix. But keep in mind: Williams not only looks unexpectedly sexy, she comes off as "smart and engaging" in the interview, too. In the end, though, this shoot may be too much of a "far cry from Williams' perpetual pixie-mom persona," says Jen Yamato at Movieline, and backfire. Check out the cover:

Boston Celtics coach Brad Stevens visits former Butler forward Andrew Smith
Feb 11, 2014, 8:05 PM EST
Once a @butleru Bulldog, always a Bulldog. Thanks for flying in, @BCCoachStevens! pic.twitter.com/ttdWGvlDMM
— Samantha Smith (@Samantha44Smith) February 11, 2014
In one of the more surprising moves of the summer, Brad Stevens left his post at Butler University to take the Boston Celtics coaching vacancy.
Andrew Smith played four years for Stevens, helping the Bulldogs appear in the NCAA tournament three times, averaging averaged 8.6 points and 4.8 rebounds per game in his career.
On Friday, it was announced that the former Butler forward was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, discovered while he was playing overseas with BC Neptunas in Lithuania.
Stevens, in the middle of a 19-34 season with the Celtics, took time to travel to Zionsville, Ind. to visit Smith and his wife Samantha. According to Zak Keefer, this isn't the first time Stevens has taken time to visit former players.
It's one thing to send well wishes, but it's another to take time out of a busy schedule, from a demanding job. "Once a Butler Bulldog, always a Bulldog," as tweeted by Samantha Smith pretty much sums up Stevens and his connection to the university.

Those who work or shop in the downtown area have one less dining option. The Five Guys Restaurant in the 300 block of East Main Street has permanently closed. During most of the 20th century, the building that included that Five Guys was the downtown location of the old Miller and Rhoads department store.

Winnipeg Free Press - ONLINE EDITION
Emergency room wait times now online
The Winnipeg Regional Healthy Authority has started posting emergency room wait times online.
The list of current wait times at seven city hospitals is at http://www.wrha.mb.ca/wait-times/
The WRHA says it wants to share the wait time information with the public so they can decide where they need to go to get the care they need with minimum wait.
The health authority also says the posted wait times can change without warning and are not guaranteed. Patients will be seen in the ER based on their medical condition.
"Emergency demands can change quickly and dramatically," the WHRA says in a disclaimer on the website.
"Due to these changing demands in emergency departments, these wait times posted on this website may not be the time you will need to wait once you arrive at the emergency department. The provision of the wait times on the website are not medical advice or a recommendation of one emergency department over another."

"If he could go to North Korea and Iran, he could round out his government-oppression tour," Rogers said on NBC's "Meet the Press."

EMC loses round 1 in fight to block vote to separate CEO, chairman roles
Send this to a friend
- Don Seiffert
- BioFlash Editor- Boston Business Journal
- Email | Twitter
A California man known for filing proposals at dozens of companies every year seeking changes in corporate oversight has won a round against EMC Corp. The Hopkinton storage giant, however, has indicated it will continue trying to block a proposal for a vote to separate the CEO role at EMC from the chairman role in its annual proxy report.
John Chevedden of Redondo Beach, Calif. helped EMC shareholder James McRitchie of Elk Grove, Calif. in a proposal calling for the non-binding vote to be included in the proxy and be voted on at the annual meeting. Joe Tucci has held both the CEO and chairman positions simultaneously since 2006.
EMC (NYSE: EMC) sued in January in a Boston federal court to block the proposal, on the grounds that Chevedden did not satisfy ownership requirements and that "various aspects of the proposal and its supporting statement are false and misleading." Chevedden is not a shareholder in EMC.
But after a two-hour court hearing last Friday, Judge Mark L. Wolf dismissed the case, according to Reuters. A spokesman for EMC told Reuters that the dismissal "did not reach the issue of whether the proposal satisfies SEC rules" and that "EMC is exploring all its options."
Asked by the Journal via email why he sought to separate the roles of CEO and chairman at EMC, Chevedden replied, "When the CEO is also the chairman then the CEO has no boss." He added that "this is a strictly advisory proposal. EMC can ignore whatever vote it obtains."
According to Reuters, Chevedden has filed at "scores of companies each year" calling for similar changes, and some companies have successfully sued to block his measures.
It's unclear whether the idea has any support from other shareholders. Tucci, who has been CEO since 2001, has overseen a 71 percent stock increase, as well as a revenue increase of $10 billion in fiscal 2005 to $23 billion last year, in the time since he was also appointed to the chairman position.

Making the Most out of Your Pinnacle Awards Submission
Staff Writers
In their 16-year history the annual AFP Pinnacle Awards for excellence in treasury have received many submissions—some good and some not-so-good. Many fall somewhere in between, with a good story obscured by a problematic entry.
Video: Last Year's Winning Solutions
Tom Hunt, CTP, AFP's Director of Treasury, offers some tips to make your Pinnacle Awards submission as strong as possible. The AFP Pinnacle Awards are sponsored by Wells Fargo.
Be clear and concise.
"A good Pinnacle submission is all about good business writing," said Hunt. "It needs to state the case as plainly as possible. Describe the problem, the solution, your goals and how you achieved them. The submissions also need to fall within the recommended word count and character limit. The judges have told me that submissions that are too wordy don't impress them. The entries are being reviewed by a panel of volunteer judges so being as clear and concise as possible in describing your situation helps the judging process run efficiently."
Articulate the impact on your company and treasury department.
"You have to explain how your submission made a difference and what makes it stand out from other submissions," said Hunt. "Sometimes we see submissions that fail to explain how it helped the organization. Results matter."
Utilize the Official Entry Form.
"Only use the online form found at AFP's website—no additional forms, PowerPoint presentations or follow-up phone calls to expand on your entry," said Hunt. "That's not fair to the submissions that followed the rules and deadlines and it makes the judging process more difficult."
No turnkey solutions, please.
"We're looking for a solution that is not off-the-shelf," said Hunt. "This is probably the area we receive the most questions about. A turnkey solution by definition is a product or service implemented with little to no customization internally to the company or from the provider.
What made your solution unique? Why was it right for you? You probably had other options; why did you choose this particular path and how did you customize it?"
Highlight the innovation.
"Check to see if this solution has been done before elsewhere," said Hunt. "If it has, your submission needs to be different in some way or the judges will notice. Ask yourself: 'Does it elevate the profession or identify your company as an innovator?' If so, it's probably a strong submission."
The submission window for the Pinnacle Awards will close June 10. Enter your submission

Link-O-Rama: Bay has always been really good

* Now that Jason Bay is starring on a contending team in a big market the baseball world seems to have discovered him,
but that has as much to do with no one paying any attention to the
Pirates as it does his actual performance with the Red Sox. Seriously.
Bay has hit .290/.389/.564 in 111 games with Boston, which while
very good is also very close to the .296/.399/.546 line that he posted
with Pittsburgh between 2005 and 2006. Take out his injury-plagued 2007
season and Bay posted a .932 OPS in Pittsburgh. He has a .953 OPS in
* Dave Cameron investigates Johan Santana's struggles like only the boys at FanGraphs.com can. Turns out there, the whole blister theory may be correct.
* Within his latest outstanding blog entry,
Joe Posnanski passes along this amusing tidbit: "Carlos Zambrano has
hit 14 home runs in his last 282 at-bats. David Ortiz has hit 10 home
runs in his last 348 at-bats." Sure, but how many homers has Ortiz allowed during that time?
* Despite facing a year-long recovery after the second Tommy John elbow surgery of his career, Jason Isringhausen is not ready to call it quits.
