Why Modi, what is Gujarat Model ?
10 April, 2014
Is the BJP hyping the Gujarat development model to lure voters around the nation? Or, the Chief Minister of this much talked about state has actually delivered more than the other political leaders? Definitely, the voters must assure that the real picture is uncovered prior to concluding. ?Aabki Baar Modi Sarkar? has outshined all other campaigning tools and statements, and above all, the phrase has ranked the Chief Minister of a state above the national political entity, BJP. The need of the hour is to know the ground reality and then extend support to any of the claiming political groups/ leaders.
A noticeable expression by Forbes India- ?Gujarat?s growth story is an expression of the chief minister?s authoritarian power?. To start with, I will talk about the comments of critics who say that the historical and traditional entrepreneurship is what that helped
achieve the success we all talk about. What about the caliber of the Rajasthani Marwaris who despite of staying and building
a role model migrated to Gujarat in search of enhanced
prospects? 12.8 percent agricultural growth in last five years as compared to the national average of 2 percent. Programmes like ?SCOPE? for imparting English language skills, and increase in the number of technical education institutes from 442 (in 2001) to 18000 are the landmarks in Gujarat?s educational module.
Further, the initiative, EMPOWER enrolls more than 100 thousand students for computer education. Herein too, 84 percent students come from rural areas and 35000 are women. Sorry, you cannot find chewing tobacco as it is banned in Gujarat. The next, I would uncover the fact that the state of Gujarat is one of those seven states that has lower poverty ratio for Muslims as compared to the Hindus both in urban as well as rural parts. The figure, 7.7 percent is what makes Gujarat the state with lowest poverty ratio for the Muslims when we consider rural areas. From 2004-05 to 2011-12, the period witnessed a fall of 21.8 percent in poverty ratio for the Scheduled Castes and Muslims. Also, the SCs poverty ratio is only 1.4 percent higher than that of the general castes; however, the same gap is much wider nationally.Next, the Comptroller and Auditor General of
in the report of 2012 revealed that the state of Gujarat, from 2006-07 to 2010-11, was able to lower the proportion of underweight children by 32 percent, which, if talked about at the national level was only 9 percent. When talked about the ratio of female to male child, Gujarat was able to increase the figure of 865 per thousand to 903 per thousand from 2004-06 to 2008-10, thus showing better results in relative terms at the national level (892 to 905). Manufacturing sector in Gujarat accounts for 40 percent of state GDP as compared to 27 percent of national GDP. The only state where ground water level has increased in the last 8 years is Gujarat. Water management structures like check dams, boribandhs, and khet talavadis have been created in the last 10 years totaling to over 5.5 lakh in number.
The state?s own tax revenue as percentage of total tax revenue is the highest in the country. Japanese companies have relied on transparent and swift land acquisition policy, abundant electricity, and good infrastructure as said by Japan?s Ambassador, Takeshi Yagi.
Narendra Modi
?s tough stand on corruption has helped the state not to be a part of controversial corruption cases. The report of Labor Bureau says that Gujarat?s unemployment rate stands at 27 percent as compared with 63 percent, 57 percent, 56 percent, and 48 percent in Himachal Pradesh, Delhi, Chandigarh, and
respectively. Gujarat has emerged as one of the most secure states for women in the Female Security Index survey conducted by Tata Strategic Management Group.
A few more truths unearth that 25 percent of the national GDP comes from Gujarat. In the same context, 24 percent, 35 percent, and 51 percent of India?s textile, pharmaceutical, and petrochemical productions respectively come from Gujarat. The ?Jyotigram Yojana? delivers 24 hour power supply to nearly 100 percent of Gujarat?s 18000 villages. Considerable to note, all the villages in the state have broadband internet connectivity. When we talk about infrastructure, with schemes like Pragatipath, Pravasipath and Vikaspath Yojanas, the state has successfully connected tribal belts, coastal, industrial and rural areas with mainstream areas and the extremities of the state, triggering faster development in comparison to other states.
For those who have nothing except the Godhra massacre must know that the Special Investigation Team has reported that the state government took all possible measures and no evidence shows the participation of Narendra Modi. While many say that the experience of running a state would no way serve as a push to govern the nation, it is vital to note that the state of Gujarat is more or less equivalent to the U.K. in terms of area as well as population. Also, the U.S. presidents including George W Bush and Bill Clinton who proved competent had been state governors prior to tackling the issues at the national level. The battle has begun. Let?s wait for the final verdict of the voters.

This article and the comments on it, gives a classic overview of India's current political scenario. The machinery is busy proving Modi to be a HERO and the ONLY option available whereas the common man mostly sees through the distorted truth. Whether a greater section of Indians manage to understand the truth or fall for the gimmick will decide the fate of the country in 16th May.

As far as sex ratio is concerned, Gujarat stands at 23rd or 24th position in India.Now I am really laughing on this article. I don't want to prove anything further. This is an irony that even after ruling for 12 years by Modi, Gujarat is not number one state in india in terms of development. That very man is saying that he will change the fate of India in 5 years. Though it is also a fact that he has done some good work but not as author wanted to prove that he is the best in India. He is nowhere near the best.

As far as Own tax revenue is concerned again all the data are wrong. As per government data Gujarat is at 6th position not number 1 as declared by author.

I think author is righting his article by deriving the facts from wikipedia which is not reliable source of infromation for any research work. Most of the facts and figures are wrong and I am challenging the author to prove me wrong on this account. Let us see the falsification of truth- As per data available from Agricultural department of Gujarat state itself, the agricultural growth rate from 2007 to 2012 in Gujarat was merely 5% and several other states had done much better than Gujarat.

its rubbish. The BJP manifesto proved that Modi is just a face and there is a strong communal undercurrent present within the party. The hardcore hindu fanatics will rule unabashedly during BJP tenure, if they come to power. Also the Gujrat Model is a myth. Check out the various bylanes of the city or the ship breaking industry segment to know how human rights have been violated. Have you ever compared Gujrat with other states on where they stand in 'crime against women' or 'male:female' ratio or 'women education'? Do that before you praise Modi. Also, the Gujrat Model may not be replicable across India. Not every community or every region is business driven. Modi has no track record of upliftment of a community whose livelihood is based on 'fishing', 'farming' or 'mining'. Neither does he have a plan for them. I am not saying Congress has covered all the flaws I pointed out above - but on an unbiased apple to apple comparison, you will find that Congress probably will ensure a peaceful existence of us than Modi.

The former Fausto Carmona: "in truth there is triumph"
Feb 17, 2012, 10:31 AM EST
Roberto Hernandez — the real name of the man we know as Fausto Carmona — used a fake identity, got a nice bonus out of it and made it to the majors on the strength of his advancement at a certain, presumed age. But he wants kids in the Dominican Republic to know that it's wrong to lie about one's identity:
Roberto Hernandez Heredia, the pitcher Indians fans knew as Fausto Carmona, is telling young baseball players in the Dominican Republic to tell the truth about their age and identity.
Hernandez has been visiting independent baseball camps on the island since Feb. 7. After he speaks, he hands out T-shirts to the players. On the front is printed this message in Spanish: "In Truth, There is Triumph." Hernandez's name is on the back with his number (55).
I hate to be so damn cynical about it, but the shirts might also read "in truth there is a much lower bonus and a ticket to being organizational depth." Because, look, what Hernandez did was against the law and dishonest, but it also worked out way better for him than the truth would have. And it's that inefficiency in the system which should be addressed.
- mattintoledo - Feb 17, 2012 at 11:10 AM
"In eventual truth brought out by a lengthy investigation, there is triumph" must not have fit on the t-shirt.
- cur68 - Feb 17, 2012 at 12:33 PM
Sooo…you've tumbled to Beane's plan for the new inefficiency, eh? Given how the A's have gone about re-stocking their team I think Beane's tentatively titled this one "Older guys who can play". But, word up, bro, cause Sabean's been on this boat for years. He the king of hiring old guys to play ball (he seems to not be too good at it though…). Lets see if Herenandez is as good as Carmona, then, 'cause Beane and Sabean are watching.
- Cris E - Feb 17, 2012 at 1:08 PM
55 is also his age and career earnings. (*rimshot*)
If I were hoping to dissuade kids from lying about their age I'd almost prefer he stayed home. He's kind of the poster child for the efficacy of borrowed identities. Kids are smart enough to see through court-ordered kabuki theater like this. Oh wait, there's a chance he's doing this on his own. (snicker)
- Detroit Michael - Feb 17, 2012 at 1:54 PM
So "Hernandez" is what we're to call him?

A Little About Monterey
Monterey County is located around Monterey Bay and the Pacific coastline in the central portion of California. It directly borders Santa Cruz County on the north and the Pacific Ocean on the west. The county seat of Monterey County is the city of Salinas, found in the Salinas River Valley. Monterey County has an aggregate population of 415,057 according to the 2010 census. Monterey County's modern history stretches back to the beginning of California itself. The county was created in 1850 at the same time that statehood was granted to California. Monterey County takes its name from the eponymous Monterey Bay, which in turn was named after the County of Monterey and Viceroy of New Spain. Monterey County includes nearly four thousand square miles, making it substantially larger than some states, including Delaware, Hawaii, and Rhode Island. The majority of the population is concentrated around Salinas in the Salinas River Valley, although there are also a number of other large communities, including Carmel, Del Rey Oaks, Monterey, Sand City, and Soledad. Monterey County is home to a number of nature preserves and national forests, including the Salinas River National Wildlife Refuge, the Ventana Wilderness, Pinnacles National Monument, and Los Padres National Forest. The county is served by Salinas Municipal Airport, Monterey Peninsula Airport, and Marina Municipal Airport. Public transportation is provided by Amtrak as well as Monterey-Salinas Transit. Notable publications in the Monterey County area include the Monterey County Herald, the Carmel Pine Cone, the Monterey County Weekly, and the Salinas Californian. Despite having a relatively average median income, Monterey County consistently had some of the highest housing prices in the United States until the collapse of the real estate bubble in 2008. Current prices remain well below the peak of the market, although they are no longer as low as they were at the nadir of the most recent cycle.
There are a number of nationally recognized historical sites in Monterey County, including the Asilomar Conference Grounds, Carmel Mission, the Robinson Jeffers House, Milpitas Ranchhouse, the Point Pinos Lighthouse, and the Royal Presidio Chapel. San Antonio de Padua Mission and the Stevenson House are also found within the county limits. There are roughly two dozen different school districts in Monterey County, including some rather large districts such as the North Monterey County Unified School District, Salinas City Elementary School District, and the Santa Rita Union Elementary School District. Notable residents of Monterey County over the years include Robert Louis Stevenson, Robinson Jeffers, and Nobel Prize laureate John Steinbeck. One of the best known attractions of Monterey County is the Pacific coastline, which includes State Route 1, the 17 Mile Drive, Big Sur, and the Monterey Peninsula. There are three notable museums in Monterey County – the Monterey Bay Aquarium, the National Steinbeck Center, and the Monterey County Youth Museum. Other prominent historical and cultural sites in Monterey County include the Golden State Theater, the Forest Theater, the Golden Bough Playhouse, Monterey State Historic Park, Mission San Carlos (the burial site of mission founder Junipero Serra), and Cannery Row. Golfers residing in Monterey County can enjoy Pebble Beach, the Pacific Grove Municipal Golf Links, and the Bayonet and Black Horse Golf Courses. Those who enjoy the outdoors can hike, fish, and photograph in Pinnacles National Monument, Pfeiffer Big Sur State Park, the Elkhorn Slough, and Lake El Estero.

- BP has agreed to pay a record fine of more than $50 million. It stems from the company's failure to fix safety hazards at its oil refinery in Texas City, Texas. An explosion in 2005 killed 15 workers. OSHA is trying to collect another $30 million for other penalties that BP is contesting.
- Oil prices dropped for a third straight day amid renewed concerns that a weak global economy means consumers will use less energy. Benchmark crude for September delivery fell $2.28 to settle at $75.74 a barrel.
- Things continue to look up for General Motors. The company is moving closer to a public sale of its stock. The company says it made $1.3 billion from April through June. That was its second straight quarter in the black. The CEO who helped the company bounce back, Ed Whitacre, says he's stepping down at the end of this month.
- The dollar gained ground against other major currencies amid more reports of slowing economic growth. The jump was attributed to investors looking to put money in short-term U.S. Treasurys, seen as a safe place to park money. The dollar, however, lost ground against the Japanese yen.

We got our first snow fall of the season two nights ago – I am in a festive mood! The funny part about living in Buffalo is that some people will get 3 feet overnight and some will get 2 inches. Guess what happened at my house…
Nothing! We barely have two inches. Guess we lucked out on that one but some towns have driving bans and mine and my husband's appointments for the day got cancelled. That means I'm inside crafting away.
Today I'm over at Redhead Can Decorate where I show you how to make this rustic wood slice wreath. It's much quicker to make than you think! So head out in the wood and collect some branches, then go over to visit Julie to see how to put one together for yourself.
P.S. No baby yet. I'm 39 weeks today, only one more to go!

Our favorite albino boo thang had a pretty amazing 2013. Shaun Ross has made the type of career moves many only dream about over the last few months. He's been consistently working what many would consider a disadvantage into an asset, turning him into one of the top Black male models in the industry and now pushing him over into acting roles.
He already made a noticeable mark with his acting debut alongside Lana Del Rey in the short film "Tropico" earlier this year. He also had appearances in a nw Lexus IS commercial, on "America's Next Top Model" and in the "On-The-Go" video by Crumpled Memories.
You can watch "Tropico" HERE.
Most recently, we saw him living many men (and women's) dream of touching all over Beyonce in her clip for "Pretty Hurts."
We've been following this guy from the beginning, and we gotta say we're super happy for the momentum he's picking up in the entertainment industry. Keep your eye on this one.
Check out this 2013 recap clip from Shaun's Instagram @shaundross:

The former Stinson cannery in Gouldsboro has become a symbol of economic frustration for many on the Schoodic Peninsula. After the last remaining sardine factory in the United States closed in 2010, it was bought by the Live Lobster Company and converted to a lobster processing facility with the backing of some USD 400,000 in public funds. A little over a year after the plant reopened, the facility was again shuttered when after Live Lobster defaulted on its loans from TD Bank. Some 70 local residents lost their jobs with the closure.
But this September, the plant was sold at auction to two buyers, the Groton, Connecticut-based Garbo Lobster Company and East Coast Seafood, based in Lynn, Massachusetts. The sale holds promise for the local economy and the Maine lobster industry, say seafood analysts and local officials. Whereas concerns swirled around the 2011 sale of the facility, many view the two seafood companies' purchase of the plant as a good omen for the future of seafood processing on the peninsula.
Gouldsboro selectman Roger Bowen is optimistic about the sale. He said the plant's buyers have projected to process between three million and five million pounds of lobster and employ some 80 people in 2013. Bowen feels such a goal is realistic.
"That's fairly aggressive, but I think it's doable," said Bowen. "Garbo Lobster and their partners have an outstanding reputation. They're experienced, they've done this before and they come into this with their eyes wide open."

I dont mind inspiration animation, but man this is pretty much frame by frame of Oscar's Castle trilogy. I mean its ok if you like to emulate your favorite artist but to copy and paist the same exact techniques is a bit over the top. Overall though I did like it but I would like to see a bit better branching off in your design.
...its good and bad.
1. Story line 8/10
2. Dramatization 3/10
3. Overall animation(with characters) 5/10
4. Sfx 7/10, but cuz exellent choice of splitscreens sfx 10/10
5. Music 10/10
Confusing, but epic as all hell.
Wow, i'm just...wow. I think i'll skip to the review, as i'm almost at a loss for words:
Animation (Some of the best i've seen thus far in a flash. I can tell you put a great deal of effort into it! Fluid, and all around spectacular.)
Atmosphere (It leaves you with a disorientated feeling afterwards, it's chaotic and creepy...just like the mind of the character it portrays)
Action (Dispite the fact it jumps around quite a bit, it was very intense.)
Story (I understand it's a dream, and i guessed and figured out a few things...but it would help to place some sort of narrative, but perhaps we'll get some answers in the next one...right? :D)
Conclusion: It's very promising, and i'm looking forward to an episode 2. If you continue, it can easily become my favorite series on newgrounds. I hope to be seeing more from you soon sir, keep up the excellent work. ;)
My mind is full of fuck.
But amazing animation, interesting. Yet very confusing.

Jets sure they can fly higher and higher
FLATLINING less than two months ago, the Winnipeg Jets -- 11-3-1 since Paul Maurice stepped behind the bench -- are now tossing around two subjects that would have seemed laughable in mid-January:
1. Making the playoffs.
2: Cranking up their level of play another notch... or two.
"We know that we can beat anybody when we play well," said Jets defenceman Mark Stuart on Sunday, one day after his squad improved to 30-26-6 with a 3-1 win over the Nashville Predators. "There's some things that we'd like to do better from the last two games, but we were able to get the wins and that's the most important thing right now, getting those two points.
"We have two days here (Sunday and Monday) to work on some things, talk about some things, because we think the bar is a little bit higher right now. We know the good things we've done, I'm not taking anything away from that. But we know we can always push and push.
"It's just going to get harder and harder here down the stretch, so we're going to have to continue to push and try to take it to that next level. I mean, playoff hockey is a whole new level and we need to get there now because this is our playoffs here now, this next 20 (games)."
The Jets face the New York Islanders Tuesday, part of a critical stretch that will see them play eight of their next 10 at home.
"Since Paul's been here we're 11-3-1... that's got to be if not the hottest team in the NHL, it's got to be up there," said Keaton Ellerby. "We're making some noise. It's just been a great experience so far. It's fun to win, having this opportunity to be in this playoff hunt... but we can still get better."
That was a common refrain in the Jets' dressing room Sunday: A recognition that the two post-Olympic wins over Phoenix and Nashville weren't without their flaws and that now isn't the time to get fat and sassy with the recent success.
"We can be better," said Maurice. "Listen, our compete has been good. But that has to absolutely be our attitude every day that we come to the rink, that there's a way we can get better. I truly believe this team can play a better game of hockey. It's not from a lack of desire. If you're asking what's the one asset we've brought to the table every night, it's we've got a good bunch of really competitive guys. The mistakes that we've made, we've blocked a shot or got a great save or worked really hard.
"But in terms of being a pretty efficient, functioning team, we've got lots of room to get better with that and that takes time. So what you're hoping for is your compete and your drive can carry you by (until) that time..."
SICK BAY UPDATE: Winger James Wright, who left Saturday's win over Nashville with an apparent leg/knee injury, was being evaluated on Sunday and his status is iffy.
"He's getting checked out as we speak," said Maurice. "I think there's going to be an injury there... I don't know how long it is, so we'll just wait until we get the full and clean report. I would list him as very doubtful."
The Jets do have three extra forwards in Matt Halischuk, Eric Tangradi and Anthony Peluso.
Devin Setoguchi (flu) and Toby Enstrom (maintenance) did not skate Sunday.
KILLING IT: The Jets killed off six Predators power plays on Saturday, improving their penalty-kill percentage on the season to 84.6, sixth best in the NHL. Winnipeg's road penalty-kill percentage of 88.2 is the best in the league.
LEFT-WING UNLOCKED: Maurice said he'll likely do more juggling with the left side of the Jets' depth chart in the games ahead. He moved Evander Kane to the left flank of Olli Jokinen and Dustin Byfuglien, shifting Devin Setoguchi onto the trio with Mark Scheifele and Blake Wheeler.
"I think you're going to see some movement on our left wing. That's sometimes depending on the opposition, but having some speed with Jokinen and Byfuglien... I like that," he said. "Both Jokinen and Byfuglien can make some plays. Having all that speed with Scheifele and Wheeler at times is great and at other times it's... I don't want to say redundant, but there are times when they can be moving too fast."

Hi: 11° Lo:7°
By Connie Osborne Friday 13 June 2014 Updated: 13/06 09:21
REDUCING the stigma around mental health is the aim of students who are creating a film for fellow pupils.
A group of Year 10 students from Tudor Grange Academy Redditch have been working on the project which focuses on issues that impact young people.
Depression, self-harm and eating disorders are among the topics explored in the film and when finished, it will be shown to fellow students at the school to encourage them to talk about mental health, prevent stereotypes and also signpost people to support services in the area.
The idea was supported by the Young Health Champions (YHC), a project run by YMCA Worcestershire which aims to educate young people on different health issues.
Project co-ordinator Leanne Dance said: "The girls wanted to do something about mental health as it's an area they all felt really passionate about as it effects lots of young people but often people don't feel comfortable talking about it. Something they hope to change with this project."
She added one of the Young Health Champions who has been working with the girls on the project had also suffered from mental health issues and now volunteered to prevent stigma.

What our happy customers are saying about our nuts...
This store definitely leaves an impression from the time you walk in to weeks after leaving. We stopped by on our way to the beach, and I never thought that I would have "white trash" on my mind so much. I can't wait to come back in a few weeks and get enough to last until I come back to the coast. The staff was friendly, and the sauces, nuts, etc..were extraordinary!! Who knew, that white trash could actually be a good thing!

Two of Rochester's largest employers came together to deliver what they called a major announcement involving millions of dollars. The Wegman Family Charitable Foundation donated $17 million to the University of Rochester. Seven million of that goes towards completing the new Golisano Children's Hospital. That leaves the hospital's fundraising efforts just $15 million shy of its $60 million goal.
Danny Wegman is also giving $10 million to the Institute for Data Science. The proposed 50,000 square foot facility will complete the University's Science and Engineering Quad and bear the Wegman name. "Businesses are going to use this education and the new technologies and they go together. I'm just so proud that here in our region and in New York State we're doing this. I think it's going to really help us grow in the future," Wegman said.
Besides the Wegman gift, more than $872,000 was allocated in the new state budget for the Institute for Data Science.

NBA Preview: Washington Wizards vs. Miami Heat Live Streaming Information

By James Patrick Quizon | March 11, 2014 12:05 AM EST
The Miami Heat have not lost four in a row in three years. They need the efficient LeBron James back if they want to avoid a skid that long when they face the Washington Wizards, winners of 8 of their last 9 games.
NBA: Washington Wizards at Toronto Raptors
The Heat are mired in the longest losing streak of the season with losses to the Houston Rockets, San Antonio Spurs and Chicago Bulls in their last three games. The skid matches the losing streak they suffered in January when they lost to the Toronto Raptors, Brooklyn Nets and the Wizards.
Washington beat Miami, 114-97 in that game and covered as 5.5 home underdogs. The Heat took the first meeting between the two this season, 103-03 but failed to cover the 12.5 spread.
LeBron James can blame the mask and the jersey sleeves but he can also point to his struggles from the field in the last three outings. He has averaged 19.3 points per game and shot a combined 23-of-59 (38.9 per cent) from the field in this stretch-- both figures way below his average for the season.
Against the Bulls, James also committed a crucial turnover at the end of regulation that led to the extra period.
Washington won over lowly teams Utah Jazz, 104-91 and Milwaukee Bucks, 114-107 in their last two. Still, their efforts have led them to the fifth spot in the weak East Conference with a respectable 33-29 record. Trevor Ariza led the Wiz in scoring in the Bucks win with 28 points behind five 3-pointers and Bradley Beal added 23 points. Star point guard John Wall only had 9 points but had 13 assists.

Hartford — Voters in Hartford today handily turned back a proposed $3.5 million bond issue to build a track and artificial turf field at Hartford High School. The measure lost on a 1,742-1,203 vote, with 59 percent of voters opposed, according to unofficial results. Supporters said the track and turf field would stimulate the town's economy, draw new students and improve the health and fitness of the community. Opponents said it was too costly and also raised questions about maintenance costs. ∎ Posted online Tuesday
Claremont — Voters in Claremont today overwhelmingly turned back a proposed change to the city charter that would have replaced the position of a hired city manager with an elected mayor. The measure was defeated by a vote of 2,726-1,023, according to unofficial results. U.S. Sen. Jeanne Shaheen and other Democrats on the ballot were also running strongly in the city. ∎ Posted online Tuesday at 7:55 p.m. Find a full report and complete election coverage in Wednesday's Valley News and follow the Valley News

As I closed my overnight case and took it to the car, I kept thinking to myself, "This should be interesting, but I really cannot think there could be anything entertaining about the Mississippi River flood of 1927."
Some of the sparkle went out of the world this past week with the death of Sylvia Higginbotham.
It is a shame that I cannot write about something that I have done before I do it, so that if it is good, I can recommend it to readers. I do not get to go to sneak previews very often, however; I just have to write after the fact.
I found Margaret Peterson. Well, I did not find her myself, but I have a reader who did! I wrote a column several weeks ago, before the Christmas holidays, remembering a long-lost childhood playmate and just wondering whatever had become of her. I had no realistic hope of ever finding out.

Red Sox manager John Farrell said Sunday that if John Lackey's rehab start in Double-A Portland Monday goes well, he could make his next start in Boston. Lackey, who landed on the disabled list with a strained right biceps suffered on April 6 after making his first (and, to this point, only) big league start since undergoing Tommy John surgery after the 2011 season, is scheduled to throw four innings and approximately 65 pitches Monday in Portland.
"He felt great coming out of his bullpen Friday, and he's ready to go in his outing [Monday]," Farrell said. "If he comes out of tomorrow as he came out of his bullpen, he may only make one start."
- Franklin Morales , on the disabled list to start the year due to a lower back strain suffered in spring training, threw a bullpen session at Fenway Park on Sunday, and he'll go to Double-A Portland for a rehab start on Wednesday. Farrell said that Morales will make at least two rehab starts (including Wednesday's) to get stretched out. After that, the team may elect to prepare the left-hander for possible duty as a reliever before potentially adding him t the Boston bullpen.
- Craig Breslow, on the DL for the first time in his career as a result of left shoulder tendinits, will throw one inning, also in Portland, on Tuesday. His fastball peaked at approximately 88 mph in an appearance in an extended spring training game, but Farrell said Breslow hasn't experienced any discomfort in his injured left shoulder, and that he expects the velocity to come back up as he increases his workload.
Farrell said he isn't concerned about the current lack of left-handed pitchers in the bullpen (at the moment, Andrew Miller is the only one), as that would be remedied with Breslow and Morales' returns.
"Our profile is, take the best pitcher regardless of left hand or right hand," Farrell said. "Fortunately, we've had starters go deep into games to give these guys a rest."
- The Sox hope to have Joel Hanrahan, who is rehabbing a right hamstring strain, throw off of a mound either Monday or Tuesday.
- Farrell said Shane Victorino is day-to-day with the tightness in his lower back that caused him to leave Saturday's game in the eighth inning. He will not play in Sunday's first game. There is a possibility he'll play the second game, but Farrell said that has not yet been determined.
- David Ortiz, who returned to the Sox Saturday, is unlikely to play both games of Sunday's doubleheader, but Farrell said it hasn't been ruled out completely. He is in the lineup for Game 1.
- Mike Carp will be in the Red Sox lineup in Game 2 of the double header, either at first base or in left field.
- Farrell spoke highly of Allen Webster, who is scheduled to make his major league debut in Sunday's second game. Since coming to the Sox from the Dodgers last season, the 23-year-old Webster has cut down on his walks early this year, with three in his first 10 innings to go with 12 strikeouts.
"One thing that's been different since he's come here is the consistency of his strike-throwing and the number of walks issued," Farrell said. "That's been drastically reduced. To his credit, he's trusting his stuff on the white part of the plate."

GREENWICH, Conn. – First Selectman Peter Tesei said he is "determined" to not cut any town services from next year's operating budget as Greenwich officials began Tuesday to review the costs of projects planned for the coming fiscal year.
As a result, the Capital Improvements Projects Committee will look to scale back or delay some projects to cut about $3 million before the budget plan is presented to the Board of Estimate and Taxation.
At the top of the list is $20 million for a new Central Fire Station and $14 million over three years to overhaul the town's outdated communications system.
Town services have been cut in the previous four years he led budget talks as first selectman, Tesei said. But this time he hopes it will be different.
"I have made the decision that I want to see the town continue current services," Tesei told the assembled town officials in the Cone Conference Room at Town Hall. "If you lower the operating budget you get discontinued services. We've done it before, and justifiably. But now having done this for four years and reducing town resources, I think we have the right number of people for what we're trying to deliver."
The initial draft of Greenwich's 2013-14 operating budget calls for an increase of $1.247 million, or 1.18 percent. That does not include the school budget increase of 1.97 percent.
Tesei said he expects that increase to decrease in the final proposal to the Board of Taxation and Estimation.
The budget has to fall within the guidelines of the Board of Taxation and Estimation's required 2.5 percent mill rate increase, he said. The town's mill rate determines the amount of taxes paid by property owners based on property value.
Tesei and other officials said the budget total will be a "moving target" until the final draft is done.
The Capital Improvement Projects will be approved by a voting board consisting of Superintendent of Schools William McKersie, Commissioner of Public Works Amy Siebert, Director of Parks and Recreation Joe Siciliano, Comptroller Peter Mynarski, Town Planner Diane Fox and Planning and Zoning Commission Chairman Peter Heller.
A public hearing on the Capital Improvements Projects will be held at 7 p.m. Jan. 28 at Town Hall.

Symantec has found an advanced malicious software application that appears to have been used for spying and collecting data across the globe. Named Backdoor.Regin, or simply Regin, the software is essentially a very powerful Trojan Horse that appears to have been circulating since 2008. It has been hitting government agencies, internet providers, telecom companies, airlines, industrial entities, research institutes, energy companies, and individual systems with impunity, using sophisticated encryption and targeting systems to spy on targets. It is speculated that most infections came from computers visiting "spoofed versions of well-known websites," says Symantec, though one case confirms Yahoo! Messenger was also involved.Read More

IT Managed Services for SMBs
One question consistently asked by our clients is, "Why should we use your Managed Services?" Many of these clients perceive that it would be better and more cost effective for them just to contact us as their technology issues arise. It is a common misconception that having their technology under a Managed Services agreement is like insurance and that they would be paying for something they may or may not use. Nothing could be further from the truth.Read More

The Cloud -- it is now the talk of business world, but is it right for you? Here are 7 reasons why your business would benefit by moving to the cloud.
- Your current IT is outdated or you have little investment in your existing IT: Some of the resistance from businesses we talk to about cloud services is their current investment in existing technology and sometimes we agree. But if you are about to buy new server, or workstations, or a new back up disaster recovery product, you should give the Cloud serious consideration. You will save a lot on Capital. Also a move to the cloud is not an all or nothing it can be done in stages. And can easily be expanded or retracted in regards to seats that are needed or not needed
- You're no IT guru: You got into business because you liked what you do, not because you wanted to look after IT. The cloud will allow you and your business to make the most of enterprise level software but all the headache of looking after enterprise level hardware is left to an expert and it is all part of the monthly price.
- You spend your time installing updates: With cloud services the software is always up to date. By choosing the right cloud management company you can expect it to constantly be improving. No longer will you have to run around machines installing updates and patches.
- You want increased Productivity: People can work wherever they are, sometimes even without an internet connection. This means downtime associated with travelling and weather etc. can be overcome making staff more productive.
- You're worried about Data Security & Backup of your data: Cloud services are built with security in mind, teams of experts know of and prevent security breaches without you ever being aware that they exist. And what's even better is that the cloud is monitoring your systems 24 hours a day 7 days a week 365 days a year.
- You want your employees to be happier: Cloud computing is delivered through a browser, the benefit of this being it does not matter if your employees use a Desktop, Laptop, Tablet or Phone. Nor does it matter if the operating system of choice is Windows, OSx (Mac) or even Linux/Unix as long as the system can run an Internet Browser your staff can work. This means they can choose whatever hardware they like, perhaps even bringing their own device (BYOD) to work. http://blog.nskinc.com/byod-and-security
- Your business can not afford a hardware failure or the time it takes to fix one: If a desktop PC stops working you can be up and running within five minutes just by starting up another PC or a laptop, and you can carry on working from where your desktop stopped working -- as cloud is constantly saving as you work.

The rise of mobile and streaming video technology has given audiences several new ways to consume content, including binge-watching Netflix series. However, the majority of the shows, including those specifically made for online platforms, like "House of Cards" and "Orange Is The New Black", still rely on the same narrative devices like the ones produced for traditional television. Hooked Digital Media, a studio based in Santa Monica, California, is trying to change this tendency through the creation of films and shows that can be watched on mobile devices.Read More

In the last few years, many larger companies have enacted restrictive policies regarding the access to Facebook in the workplace, and many employees across the United States have been penalized, if not even fired for breaking the rules. However, it appears that the Silicon Valley Company is now secretly working on a new website called "Facebook@Work" with the purpose of getting a foothold in the office. In fact, Facebook is developing a new product designed specifically for use in the workplace, which will allow users to chat with colleagues, connect with professional contacts and collaborate over documents, competing with Google Drive (Google+) and Microsoft Office (Yammer). The project, which was reported on November 16th by The Financial Times, is currently in a testing phase, and it is expected to be introduced within the coming months.
The new site will look very much like Facebook but it will allow users to keep their personal profile along with their holiday photos, political outbursts, and silly videos separate from their work identity. Currently, Facebook@Work is led by a team based in Facebook's London offices. The effort, however, is not new, Facebook began working on the project years ago.

Yammer is essentially a social network that is entirely focused on your business.
