There is a lot of good news being generated by the young people at the Oyster Bay High School. The Oyster Bay High School Foreign Language Honor Society put on a spectacular concert to raise money for the Haitian relief effort on Tuesday, Feb. 9 in the Oyster Bay High School Performing Arts Center (the PAC). Big Shot was performing. They are a premier Billy Joel tribute band. They raised over $11,000 for Haiti earthquake relief.
The Oyster Bay High School Varsity Basketball team did wonderfully at the semi-finals against Locust Valley played at SUNY Old Westbury. They won the semi-final on a 35-foot shot with less than one second to go in the game.
They will be playing in the finals at C.W. Post this Saturday evening, Feb. 20, at 8 p.m. Now that is the place to be on Saturday night, wearing purple and gold. Great good luck to the Baymen!
Gregory Adami correctly identified the Feb. 4 mystery photo as, "The florist on West Main Street, Andrew Pascoe at 47 West Main Street."
Alice O'Hagan said, "This week's is the florist in the renovated building next to Next to New used clothing."
Mystery-Mystery answers:
It was a great weekend in Oyster Bay. The snow didn't come but it did cancel the Oyster Bay-East Norwich School District budget presentation. It was re-scheduled for Tuesday, Feb. 23. [That left Saturday morning free for some of us.]
Raynham Hall Museum held its fabulous fund raiser at Planting Fields on Feb. 6, and Rebecca Finelli, co-chair said, "It went well. Most people liked having it at Planting Fields Coe Hall mansion. It's a lovely place and has a romantic atmosphere which went with the theme of the event – Valentine's Day. We were delighted to have Barbara Ernst Prey as our honoree. She has been a very generous supporter of the museum for quite a while. She is a lovely individual, and a friend of Raynham Hall and we thought it was a great year to honor her."
The problem with information is that it may be out there, but you sometimes really have to work hard to find it.
The Oyster Bay-East Norwich Board of Education members determined last year that they would vote on the salary increase of the Superintendent of Schools, the Assistant for Curriculum, and the Assistant for Business at the July 7, 2009 re-organization meeting – after the school budget vote had passed.
Billy Minicozzi said the Mystery Picture in the Jan. 28 issue of the Enterprise Pilot was the Town of Oyster Bay 9/11 sign in Oyster Bay. That is not correct. [On a sports note he said the last time the Jets won the Superbowl was in 1969. The Mets won that year too and what was interesting is that they both won while playing in Shea Stadium. He said there was no Giants stadium in 1969. The Jets beat the Colts that year he said.]
"It is a small sailing ship by the boardwalk on Shore Road by the traffic light," said Billy Minicozzi of the Jan. 21 mystery picture in the Enterprise Pilot. (It's not quite right though.) As for the Jets, he said he hoped they go to the Super Bowl. The last time they won was 1959. "It has been almost 40 years," said Billy Minicozzi. Unfortunately, the Jets lost to the Colts.
Michelle Pinto, director, Media Relations Dept. of Public Relations North Shore-LIJ Health System, alerted the media about a memorial event to be held at St. Dominic R.C.C.
She wrote, "On Jan. 25, 1990 , through a series of tragic miscommunications and human error, Avianca Flight 052 crashed in Cove Neck…killing 73 people, (passengers and crew).
Rosemary Colvin called and identified the Jan. 14 mystery picture in the Enterprise Pilot. She said, "I recognize the mystery picture. It's Christ Church on East Main Street. The windows face East Main Street. and the Hispanic Cultural Center has space donated by them and I see that view all the time." Ms. Colvin is on the HCC board.
As everyone is thinking about what to do to help the people of Haiti, some East Norwich firefighters decided to take action.
The results for last weeks and this weeks Mystery Pictures will be in next weeks issue.

Appropriately designed hybrid cars will help wean society off petroleum. The necessary technology is available now
Andrew Frank
Hybrid vehicles that can drive about 50 miles on battery power alone could satisfy most people's daily driving requirements without refueling, the car being recharged at night from the electric grid. Building such vehicles does not require any technological breakthroughs, yet very few plug-ins are currently being manufactured. The widespread availability of plug-in hybrid vehicles would be a welcome development, easing pressure on petroleum supplies and fostering energy independence among consumers, who would be that much more inclined to outfit their homes with solar panels or wind turbines to offset their increased use of electric power. Such an evolution could gradually build energy independence and security for society as a whole.

Moroccan Mint Iced Tea Recipe (Video)
Iced tea is so refreshing on those hot days of summer. Today, I infused fresh spearmint from the garden in green tea. The invigorating fragrance of mint makes it pleasing to even the most refined palate.
I just finished filming the cooking tutorial. You'll see how easy it is to prepare. Sit back, watch, sip and relax!

Olivier's Grandma's Pithivier Dessert Recipe
If you follow the blog, you've probably noticed the "pithivier cake" cooking tutorial my childhood friend Alexia, her husband Olivier and I filmed during their visit to Silicon Valley. We've received great feedback, but many of you asked for the recipe in print for easier readability. So without further ado, here it is.
I've baked another pithivier; they're so easy to assemble (we've made four already since I learned Olivier's grandma "Mamie Françoise's" 1930s award-winning pithivier cake recipe). It originates from the small town of Pithiviers, in the Loiret département in north-central France where Olivier grew up. As we mentioned in the video, "shhh," this recipe is a secret! It's only made with almond flour, eggs, sugar and oranges. There is no butter; the richness comes from the abundance of almonds in the batter.

Despite his team being up 2-0 against the Miami Heat, Boston Celtics coach Doc Rivers said Wednesday that the next part of this playoff equation will be keeping his team under control.
He was talking about Kevin Garnett, and South Beach.
With his star power forward back for Friday's Game 3 at AmericanAirlines Arena, after missing Game 2 due to a suspension for elbowing Quentin Richardson, Rivers said controlled rage is now the key.

Originality is such a hard thing to come by these days that it's no wonder you'll see so many movies, TV shows and music that look and sound the same. When is the last time you heard a song or movie that you couldn't compare to something else prior? Probably never. That doesn't mean that originality or creativity has died, but just means that people have a brand new way of seeing things. One of the greatest movies of all times, Star Wars is often compared to Star Trek. They have forums of geeks and nerds sighting the familiarities between these two, I'll save you the time and say that I've seen all the Star Wars series and none of the Star Trek franchise despite their many TV shows and spin-off movies but I'm aware of how they tend to overlap each other in some aspects.

Gentrification can be defined as the upward change in land use to middle and upper income residential. It is also defined as the upgrading of devalued urban property by the middle class or affluent people. We see gentrification happing all around us on a daily basis now but it has garnered a new term that is revitalization. Gentrification or revitalization is a common issue in urbanized communities around the nation. The presences of gentrification began to become common in the United States around the mid 1970's. Many factors feed into the existence of gentrification. Which result in numerous social and economic consequences. The process of gentrification sets off a chain of positive and negative effects. While the question that goes unanswered the majority of the time is, can gentrification have a long-term stability or more conflict from the socioeconomic differences between blacks and whites?

KISS and their front man Gene Simmons have made quite an impact on the Rock and Roll scene since their beginning in 1973. Known for their over-the-top performances and classic black and white makeup, KISS has been awarded 28 Gold Albums, which is is more than any other American Rock band. Not surprisingly, KISS was recently nominated for induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, a musical fraternity made up of rock legends such as Elvis Presley, The Beatles, and Bob Dylan.

"Spare the rod, spoil the child." "It takes a village to raise a child." These are quotes that we are all familiar with by now. However, does Facebook count as the "village" needed to raise children or is there a new trend that is getting out of hand? For the past couple of years, there has been a growing popularity of videos showing parents disciplining their children in front of a camera and posting them Facebook. While some videos feature a parent disciplining a child on camera to post on the child's Facebook page as punishment for misbehavior on the site, others have simply posted videos of them punishing their child on their own pages. So is posting videos of a child's punishment on social media a necessary part of the discipline, or does it go overboard? A Michigan mother and 2 others are probably asking themselves that question while they are behind bars.

Review of Waters View Residential Home
A small friendly home where the decoration and fittings make it feel like your own home rather than an institution. The food is excellent with home made cakes every day and a good menu of food that encourages the elderly to eat. There are activities which involve everyone and a lovely garden to the rear where Residents can help or watch the gardener or watch the many birds that are attracted there. There are several communal areas to sit and chat, watch TV or a quiet room to just sit and watch the world go by. The care is excellent as the Home is small (15 residents) so the carers really get to know the Resident and their care individually tailored. As my Mother - in - Laws condition has sadly deteriorated Waters View has carried on coping with her and we know they will continue to that - she has great care and we her family have peace of mind!

what do you add to your congee?
- purple goddess Jul 3, 2008 09:10 PM
I have a hankering for congee. I've been poorly this week, and can't taste a thing, so I reckon congee is the answer.
What are your favourite additions to congee? What are the MUST haves in my congee to help me get over this 'flu?
when I have the flu and have to cook the congee for myself, I usually add in a can of chicken, and scramble eggs (scramble as you drizzle it into the slightly boiling congee). This way you can a little meat (so the congee doesn't run right through you) and protein. If you have some mix frozen vege, and is able to swallow, add some of that for the color and the nature vege sweetness. This is the same congee I made for a friend when she was recovering from sugery.
Now, when you are better, and able to stand to make yourself more, I'll go for the Chinese green bean congee. Greenbean is not the vege kind you get in American grocery store, but the dry, slighly oval shape ones you should be able to find in any Asian store. Beans need to be soak for several hours before you cook it. They are good to cool you down in this heat. During the cold season, you can change it to the red type.
Hope this helps, and you feel better soon!
I had the stomach flu a couple of weeks ago and the first thing I ate again (when I could stomach something) was congee. It was pretty plain - marinated some shredded beef with scallions, ginger, soy sauce and cornstarch to make it soft and then added to the congee near the end of cooking. Just drizzled with some sesame oil and sprinkled scallions on top.
Normally, I like chopped 100 year old egg, scallions, ginger and roasted peanuts in my congee.
Aw, youse guys!!
you always come thru for me!
I was thinking a little ginger, some diced pork belly, egg flower and some Chinese sausage. Maybe some fried won tons shredded up and some deep fried scallions to garnish.
I don't think the system could handle fermented bean curd just at the mo. Or peanuts.
Are you guys "boil from scratch" fans or " whizz some pre-boiled rice" kinda people?
re: purple goddess
This was my Mother cold/flu congee.
10 dried oyster
2 peeled whole potatoes
1 lb lean pork
cook one pot of basic congee recipes with these ingredients. My Mother called this Lower Fever Congee. I would not use Chinese sausage since fat is not good if you are ill.
When you get better than a whole new whole can be opened to you. Ask later.
Basic Congee
rice ( I use broken rice reduces cooking time, while other will use a blender to break up the rice to speed up cooking time)
whole cloves of garlic (normally not by garlic is good for the body)
A couple of dried shitake mushrooms would add flavor.
Good luck and hope you feel better soon.
re: purple goddess
Definitely "boil from scratch" for me! :)
re: purple goddess
Boil from scratch for sure! 2x broken rice and water go in the rice cooker the night before, followed by chicken bones/bits/whatever in the morning, set it to cook, and by the time I'm back from a run it's ready. Add some kim chee or scallion and chili oil and I'm good to go.
I like mung beans too as a meat alternative, and actually coco beans and favas work pretty well too.
I'm a purist, I prefer plain congee with Chinese soy pickle veggie stems or lettuce (that's how AGV, Chinese brand advertise it). Also pork sung, which is dried shredded pork. You can usually find it at your local Chinese markets.
dried scallops, 1000 year old eggs, shredded dried pork, scallions
I also like pickled turnips/daikons, the unnatural yellow ones and pickled cucumber (the chopped black ones) but they're just a nice addition. I don't have to have them. If you're feeling poorly, maybe spicy fermented tofu will help clear your sinuses.
one of my favorite ways is to add ground pork, scallions, cilantro, and hot chili oil. have also been known to toss in a little bit of fried garlic here and there...
when i eat congee, i like it really plain. sometimes all i need is just maggi seasoning or soy sauce and some black pepper. other times i would add some pork floss, depending on my mood. but my favorite congee would be shrimp with green onions.
When I was sick, my mother would serve me plain congee with some minced beef. Since you have the flu, staying clear of anything greasy would probably help your stomach. Some pickled cucumbers (from the jar) go great with plain congee.
I usually make my congee with chicken stock, ginger, salted spareribs (salted overnight) & 1000 yr old eggs.
hope you feel better...
Looks like a lot of savory enthusiasts here. I like it with savory ingredients, but I also enjoy it with things like chopped dried plums (prunes) raisins, dried apricots or just about any other dried fruit. Especially if I'm on the road to recovery from some nasty bug. Soft, sweet, gentle congee makes me feel better than savory dishes when my system is unsettled.
re: todao
Congee is normally savory but there are lots of sweet rice puddings (using sweet/sticky rice and fruits less like a soup and more like a pudding) less watery more.
Not something I normally cook, but I will check my recipes later after the BBQ and see if I have something to post. Lots of Asian dried fruits which get a different take on Western style rice puddings. Right now it is smoking time and I get to rest while the wood chips does it job.
re: yimster
Looks like I'm not entirely alone -
PG, my thai flatmate introduced me to "rice soup" many years ago. I always fall back to it when i'm poorly (or poor for that matter).
Start from scratch with the rice and think of chicken soup - chicken stock and bits of chicken. Grate in lots of fresh ginger and a bit of lemon rind, some greens (or Mali used to even add coleslaw mix). Stir in a lightly beaten egg at the end. Season with soy, sesame and garnish with spr.onions and a squeeze of lemon juice.
Even if you can't taste it, there's a lot of goodness in the mix. (btw i actually like my congee runny - more on the soupy side, and that is perrrrrrrrfect for poorly people) ;]
Plain congee: Semi soft tofu topped with scallions, cilantro, bacon bits, fried shallots/garlic with soy sauce and sesame oil dipping sauce. Add to this, shredded dried pork/ beef and fermented tofu.
Hot Chicken congee: one fresh egg and crispy chinese donut garnished with scallions and cilantro.....YUMMMMMM
from scratch... chicken w/ the pork sung. sometimes add in some pickled (spicy) radishes and/or bamboo shoots. pork w/ the preserved egg. try to have it w/ chinese donut or green onion pancakes on the side if possible
Here's a couple I haven't seen mentioned yet:
roasted pig's feet from one of those places where they have a roasted pig hanging in the window. I like some boiled with the congee but also some unboiled for the chewiness of the skin and the tendons.
roasted pig's head from the same hanging pig. makes for some greasy congee tho.
sliced fish w/ ginger and scallions.
from scratch, definitely! I make mine with chicken broth instead of water, additions are ginger, cilantro, diced thousand-year-old egg and a drizzle of sesame oil. heaven! feel better...
goji berries
salted duck eggs
1000 year old eggs
canned sardines
Chinese dehydrated fried shredded pork
Chinese pickled cucumbers
Taiwanese stinky tofu
preserved radishes
The congee? Always from scratch, and nurtured like you were making risotto from the finest Arborio rice.
because she's so modest, I thought I'd let you all know that she has now posted the congee experiment

IEM Alumni Spotlight with Todd Miranda, CEO and Creator of NxtDimension Solutions
Question: What was the biggest challenge you had to overcome in starting your business?
Answer: I think the biggest challenge for me was to maintain a healthy balance between work and family. This is very often a challenge whether you are starting your own business or working for someone else. It is especially difficult when starting your own business as there are so many demands on your time from so many directions. You, and often your family, will have to make sacrifices to ultimately achieve your longer-term goals. But those sacrifices should not diminish the need for a balance in life.
Question: How has your business changed since you started it?
Answer: My particular business has not so much changed from my original concept, but it has grown at a slightly more rapid pace than I expected. Opportunities have been presented to me, which have allowed me to grow into areas I had not expected to move into so soon.
Question: What is the single best piece of advice you would give others looking to start their own business?
Answer: There are so many good pieces of advice to give to someone wanting to start a business. I think one of the most important is to make absolutely sure you have the support of your family and/or whatever your support group is. Starting a business is not something one can do alone. You really need a support group, whether that is your family, friends or peers.
Starting a business often means making sacrifices that will affect other people in your support group. So ultimately, if they don't support your efforts, it can make the task of starting a new business even more challenging.
Question: How did IEM help you start your company?
Answer: IEM provided the obvious things like an introduction to, and some experience with, things like business plans and venture capital. But what I feel was the most important thing for me was the confidence to move forward with what I knew I wanted to do. When a child is learning to jump off of a diving board, they know that is what they want to do. The child watches others do it, maybe goes to the edge of the board multiple times and turns around. It often takes a little push from someone behind to help take that final leap. IEM provides that little push!
Question: Did you start your business while working full-time?
Answer: I started my business as a part-time business while I was working
full-time. It was very important to me to draw a very thick line between my full time job and the work I did under my business. I think that is very important when starting a business while working for someone else. You owe those paying you in your "day job" complete focus and attention. This can be difficult at times. Over time, my resolve grew and I grew less and less happy in my job. This was not necessarily because of the job itself, but more because I knew I was not doing what I really wanted to do.
Question: What is the best thing about being an entrepreneur?
Answer: To me, the best thing about being an entrepreneur is not money or flexibility. Often for the first one, two or more years, you will have overall less money, be working more hours, and have less flexibility. But, being an entrepreneur means that you, not someone else, are the author of your future. You are in control of your future and can do or be whatever you want, given you are willing to put in the time and effort necessary to achieve those goals.

An Allen Superior Court jury convicted a mother of neglecting her child and causing serious injuries.
After a mere 30 minutes of deliberation Wednesday afternoon, the jury convicted 36-year-old Angela Beck of the Class B felony charge.
Beck's co-defendant, Gregory R. Higgins II, 27, pleaded guilty this year to the same charge.
Both were charged in September after her toddler suffered serious head injuries.
The verdict came after a two-day trial before Allen Superior Court Judge Fran Gull.
Three children – ages 15 months, 12 years and 10 years – lived in their home in the 400 block of Elizabeth Street.
According to court documents, Beck and Higgins often left the children home alone overnight while they looked for used metal objects to sell, but the high-level felony charges stemmed not from that but from injuries to the toddler's head.
According to court documents, Beck let Higgins take the toddler upstairs with him last May.
Higgins told investigators he fell asleep with the toddler in his care and that he found the child lying unresponsive on his back on the stairway landing.
Doctors who evaluated the toddler at St. Joseph Hospital's emergency room and later at Lutheran Hospital's pediatric intensive care unit said the injuries were inconsistent with Higgins' claim that the child merely took a tumble down the stairs.
Doctors found a midline shift of the child's brain from swelling, bleeding on his brain behind his forehead and unusual bruises around his scalp. According to court documents, the bruising looked like fingerprints, as if the toddler was grabbed on both sides of his head.
Additional bruises of varying age were found, as well as an unattended injury to his left big toe, a sore on the bottom of his lip and an injury to the inside of his mouth, according to court documents.
Beck told a detective the injuries occurred when the child hit himself in the head with his toys. But doctors said such injuries were not likely to be caused by that and were consistent with child abuse.
Higgins will be sentenced Monday and faces no more than 30 years in prison. Beck will be sentenced in September.

Only pros go shopping on Black Friday, psyched up for battle in the retail arena. Enter the cat.
Driving a bus? Returning a pantsuit? I love thinking about my cats doing "people things."
Your cat is part of your family too, so on special occasions, the DIY Tuna Turkey is a fun treat.
My cats give me reasons for ongoing gratitude, but this time of year I am especially thankful.
Save in-store and online from these pet supply retailers -- stock up on everything your cat needs.
We got to interview Grumpy Cat at the annual adoption drive and fundraiser in San Francisco.
I wanted my husband to understand that I don't fawn over Ghost Cat because I don't love the dog -- but because I do. I tried to explain to my husband that the love I feel for Ghost Cat and the dog are different, but both are awesome. Ghost Cat is my little shoulder-riding queen, my little cuddle bug. I don't carry my 60-pound Lab around on my shoulders, but he is my awesome outdoor adventure buddy. I love them both -- just differently.
I chat with a few founders of Seattle Meowtropolitan, an ideal blend in a city that's driven by coffee and filled with cat lovers.
My collection of cat-inspired clothes, accessories, houseware, and artwork is classy and cute.
Catkins Animal Rescue of Wisconsin gave him a set of wheels, and he's seeking a forever home.

The Penske File Lyrics - Kid Dynamite
you've had a lifetime to find yourself, lose yourself and find yourself again. paint yourself an excuse and take it for an end. rate it. frame it in consistency. bottomed bottles make jaded fragmented eyes look justified. when you cut your hangups down, be careful you don't dull the knife. you may want to slit the knot of what you're not, sever ties and all you've got.

Newt Gingrich on Mitt Romney "Gifts" Remark: Insulting and Wrong!by Free Britney at . Comments
Newt Gingrich is weighing in on Mitt Romney's controversial comment that President Barack Obama won reelection by promising "gifts" to young and minority voters.
The former U.S. House Speaker, who battled Romney for the Republican nomination this year, pointedly criticized that assertion on two different grounds.
Said Gingrich on PBS:
"I'm very disappointed with Governor Romney's analysis, which I believe is insulting and profoundly wrong. First of all, we didn't lose Asian-Americans because they got any gifts."
"He did worse with Asian-Americans than he did with Latinos. This is the hardest-working and most successful ethnic group in America. They ain't into gifts."
"Second, it's an insult to all Americans. It reduces us to economic entities. You have no passion, no idealism, no dreams, no philosophy."
"If it had been that simple, my question would be, why didn't you outbid him?"
"He had enough billionaire supporters, if buying the electorate was the key, he could have got all his Super PAC friends together and said, don't buy ads, give gifts."
"Be like the northwest Indians who have gift-giving ceremonies. We could have gone town-by-town and said, 'Come here, let me give you gifts.'"
"'Here are Republican gifts.' An elephant coming in with gifts on it."
Mitt Romney? Owned.
Republicans lost because many in this country have lost all hope in having any chance at the American dream and many do want the Government to provide for their needs. Romney had no chance of winning because Americans see Obama as someone who understands their lack of desire to try and provide for their own self. Obama is their Rock Star and he plays off their weakness. His followers don't care if he makes this a better country they just want the perks and they will do nothing but sit and wait for the scraps. He seems to think he is some sort of civil rights world leader and he distances himself from Americas problems. He constantly puts himself in a position to NOT take the fall- for Libya, Higher taxes on the rich etc. The only thing that's certain in the next 4 years is nothing will change. His mission is to 1st divide then conquer. This is a time when people must see for themselves that nothing good comes with hard work. Romney misjudged the American public. He thought people were smart enough to see the hole they were in and he thought they were miserable enough to dig themselves out of this mess. He was wrong on both accounts. If there ever was a waste of time and money it was this election. Evidently this "Reality intervention " is necessary for America.
do all of you rethugs keep telling yourselves lies to make yourselves feel better for your short comings? you people will never have the usa the way you think it should be. people are not all sucking off of welfare. how ignorant are you? i feel sorry for you that you;d rather live in a crappy place where no one gets along and the rich prosper while the rest of us who actually make the country go round by working our hearts out. you people should be ashamed of yourselves for spewing the stupid nonsense you spew.
Sick- of taking you by the hand. If you think that taxing the rich more will somehow trickle down to you then your are wrong. Creating jobs and letting private sector jobs insure people through their jobs is the answer. Obama has an agenda. Green Energy Taxed Health care and civil rights and if this economy don't recede then it will continue to move at a snails pace. I'm pulling in plenty of Green- Legally! Short comings? I think not! Seems like Republicans want you people to work more than you do! You are not miserable enough yet!
@ HJ- It's funny how the people who have nothing find it your RESPONSIBILTY to point out the necessities of becoming a community! So what were you doing all those years we were working day and night- saving- buying insurance, paying income tax? Bush? America had terrorism brought to our soil 8 months after he was in office and not one other time did they attack again. Obama goes to Asia and congratulates Cambodia on their progress towards human rights and... Your rights? What's he doing about your right to work- to feed your family? Is he making progress? 2 wrongs do not make one right. Obama has not a clue as what to do about you or your misfortune but he always has someone to blame. The problem we have is their is no defining measuring device in this country between the USELESS/Lazy and the unfortunate! 50 million on food stamps and growing and OBAMAS in Asia shaking hands! Peachy- JUST PEACHY!
So when Bush gave tax cuts to the rich, where was the trickle down? Where were the jobs? They kept the money and didn't create jobs. We ended up in the worst economic crisis since the great depression! Pure capitalism is evil and pure socialism is equally evil. You have to have free enterprise balanced with social justice. Work hard and make as much as money as you want legally, but you are also part of a community and can't function alone, so you have an obligation to the community you live in.

HP wants R&D to be serious business
Hewlett-Packard is measuring out business suits for its research and development arm, HP Labs. The vendor is reshaping its prestigious - yet never terribly profitable - research arm to "balance exploratory research with an entrepreneurial approach", the company announced today during a press event at its Palo Alto, California, …
Tough call
You never know when a line of research will lead to something breath-takingly original that can create whole new markets out of nothing. So if you clamp down too hard on innovation and blue-sky thinking, and limit yourself to "buzz-word du jour" conventional wisdom, you may end up missing something hugely profitable.
On the other hand, you don't want to throw money into a pit forever. That's no way to run a business, as the original .bombs discovered too late.
It may be tough to make those calls. In fact, my gut feel is that the ability to make the right decision on research, most of the time, is what separates crap companies from outstanding ones.
Or, you could just copy everyone else's ideas, produce crap, and make people buy it anyway 'cos you're a monopoly. That sure saves on the R&D costs!
HP R & D - Good, bad and the ugly
I have worked through a number of HP R&D teams and personally I think I have experienced through a spectrum of good, bad and the ugly.
[Good team] First, I worked for a very well structured & managed team ie very little meetings, simple & light documentation process, and very solid technically. I have learnt a lot of build, test, review process. Very professional and good team spirit. I am in debt to the expertise and knowledge that I have gained from the team and it has been very helpful for me to move on to another job.
[Bad team] Then, I moved on to another team on some crappy product called E3. Basically it's a joke, especially in management. Meeting almost everyday, like having a meeting for another meeting. I remember one of the meetings was for everyone to moan about the Java IDL kept crashing and lost their works. The meeting went on for 1.5 hours and at the end there was no solution or decision made.
[Ugly management crowns] We once got gathered for a meeting by a senior management crown for informing us some so called 'confidential information'. After the meeting, I found out the news was already on the web!! So I thought I am an HP employee and I am not even worth to outsiders.
Another time, the morale in the dept. was pretty low. So the management crowns decided to create a survey for each staff to find out why morale is low and how to improve it. They told us they will release the survey results and work on the morale. However, nothing has happened. I guessed the management team realised how awful the survey was and decided not to disclose it.
Most start-ups die
' "In a way, we plan to inject startup DNA into HP Labs," said Banerjee. '
Yeah. Google was a start-up once. So was TransMeta. So were thousands of dot bombs in the 90's, soaking up cash and never heard from again. Which start-up does Banerjee have in mind, hmm?
Well, hope springs eternal. The joke when I worked at HP was,
"HP Labs. Where the rubber meets the sky:"
'M outta here.
et tomorrow?
Is anyone doing basic research anymore?
The colleges work for corporate funding or publication
The corporations are r&D ...(except maybe Watson labs)
The national labs have been politicized long ago

'... talented upcoming star' (Time Out).
Tom Rosenthal tour dates
Stella Graham
Coventry born Stella Graham is a naturally funny stand-up comedian and writer, with great gags and killer banter. Ballsy, intelligent and inappropriate, no subject is off limits. Charming, and not entirely ladylike, all punchlines connect with a resounding thud.
Stella first hit the stage in New Zealand before returning home to the UK.
Stella has worked on and written for TV and radio.
"If you're a TV executive, drop what you're doing and go see her now." - The Skinny
**** - Fringe Guru
Stella Graham tour dates
Stephanie Laing
Goofy and peculiar, Stephanie Laing's comedy is partway between the needy oddness of Maria Bamford and the upbeat affability of Josie Long. Her material is a mix of silliness, filth and unusual observations, underpinned by a disarming honesty which makes her seem charmingly vulnerable.
Stephanie Laing tour dates
Martin Besserman
Stand up comedian and regular compere at Monkey Business Comedy Club in Camden.

Christopher Russell, 19, of North Platte, was charged March 1 with first-degree sexual assault of a teenage girl.
The girls mother reported to police that Russell was involved in a sexual relationship with her underage daughter, age 14. Russell was in jail on charges related to shoplifting when investigators looked into the allegation.
When the investigation was finished, Russell was charged with first-degree sexual assault. He was released on bond before then, and was picked up again and put in jail.
His bond on the sex assault charge is set at $250,000.
The young girl said the relationship was consensual, but regardless, Nebraska law makes it illegal for anyone over age 19 to have sex with anyone under 16.
