Requirements for Agility
The word "agility" is often used to describe small, nimble startups that are unencumbered by massive corporate hierarchies with multiple procedural layers, legacy products and expectations. People seem to think that only companies that capture the attention of an adoring public – whether the latest social media network, new and improved search engine, or revolutionary newcomer to the scene - are representative of what it means to use agility to create and expand a business.
Conventional wisdom says that the old guard of Corporate America can be neither innovative nor agile. In other words, a multinational conglomerate cannot change once it's achieved a certain critical mass.
This is far from the truth.
By developing an environment in which strategic exploration and business agility occur, a critical link is built in establishing and sustaining an organization's strategic position. Agile organizations have the processes and structures that allow them to know what is going on internally and externally, as well as the mechanisms to act on that knowledge rapidly.
To remain competitive, organizations must plan intelligently, make the most efficient use of available resources, and take quick, effective action. However, the key to thriving is being able to identify, understand and respond to accelerating change and disruption as it happens. Companies must find new ways to streamline business activities to eliminate redundancy or costly exceptions, while creating higher value. Leading companies have mastered the ability to reduce costs, despite the fact that the cost of doing business continues to rise, by increasing their ability to respond and adapt to frequently changing business conditions.
Oftentimes, the right response at the right time can be the key to a company gaining an edge over its competition. Previous BTM Research supports this position through findings that identify agility as that 'right response', and illustrating that the ability to be agile is the difference between taking advantage of change as opposed to falling victim to it. The findings show that these companies are agile because they have converged their management of business and technology. Organizational constructs, processes, and management behaviors drive business agility, and as a result, lead to improved financial performance.
Traditional business practices of the past did not stress the need for agility and innovation. Such terms were rarely viewed as necessary in the day-to-day operations or success of an organization. But today, business runs quite differently than it did in the landscape of the past. Boundaries no longer exist – we now play on a global field, where unforeseen changes, not only in the marketplace but also in your competitors, can spring up at any time. Both agility and innovation are necessary to the growth and survival of an organization. Constant change is the new dynamic of the global economy, and makes agility even more necessary than at any point in business history.
Business leaders often use agility to describe their business plans and strategic initiatives, but it's often little more than just a vision. But what does agility really means to business, and how does it help achieve higher levels of efficiency and success? Most people acknowledge that agility is the key to capitalizing on innovation and achieving success in the fast-paced and rapidly evolving marketplace.
Agility requires planning, processes and structures. Technology-based initiatives have long enabled business organizations to coordinate activities with their business partners. For instance, many companies share their forecasts and plans with suppliers and distributors to extract network-wide efficiencies, while others, such as retailers, have relinquished their decision rights to their suppliers on when and how much to replenish in the pursuit of even greater efficiencies for all concerned.
Although efficiencies can be extracted through the coordination of activities across a business network, such processes do nothing to sense and respond to unforeseen events. Simply put, such business networks, which improve performance in a predictable environment, provide, at best, a false sense of security under rapidly changing conditions. Agility requires the dynamic configuration of processes across a business network. Such efforts allow a company to know what is going on internally and externally, the ability to move quickly to take advantage of the changes it needs, and the imagination to see itself in a different light.
Regardless of where one begins the journey toward agility, a converged management of business and technology often plays a critical role in establishing the strategic position required to adjust or change, based on unforeseen market circumstances.
To do this, agile companies establish formal relationships outside of their walls with customers, partners, suppliers and the public. These relationships act as their antennae or sensors of change on the world, and serve to warn or predict shifts – whether opportunistic or threatening.
Being agile requires translating that information into the ability to sense-and-respond accordingly to each situation. Designing and managing business processes and technology enablers together shape these capabilities. Through this type of structured process, immediate action can be taken. Such actions incorporate agility as part of an organization's DNA.
Agile organizations have the processes and structures that indicate what is going on both internally and externally, as well as the mechanisms established to act quickly on that knowledge, as needed.
Companies don't survive unless they're agile. Even multibillion-dollar powerhouses must recognize when a shift in their original knitting needs to evolve in order to adopt new technologies, products and businesses as the market changes to ensure continued growth.
Enterprisers have three requirements for achieving agility.
As previously discussed, a sense-and-respond capability is needed. Companies must facilitate learning from various processes to respond to changes in their environment. This learning must operate at different levels and within different areas of the firm and should be based on recurrent sense-and-respond cycles. Business technology can facilitate these learning processes by supporting the collection, distribution, analysis and interpretation of data associated with business processes; and generating response alternatives, decisions on appropriate courses of action, and orchestrating selected responses.
Next is an emphasis on improvement and innovation. Business agility combines improvement and innovation responses. Opportunistic firms emphasize improvements, but often fail to foster innovations. They follow best practices, listen to the customer, and are good at improving current capabilities. Innovative firms, by contrast, are focused on innovating processes through new technologies, services and strategies. They generate "next" practices, but have a limited focus on fine-tuning current operations. When market pressures are high and the environment is turbulent, the ideal is an agile firm that combines improvement and innovation initiatives to constantly reposition itself. Agile firms are able to improve existing practices and innovates new ones because they have an enterprise architecture in place that forms a construct in support of the overall strategy.
Finally, having distributed and coordinated authority is key. Agile firms must adopt radically different forms of governance and translate their mission and objectives into information that can easily be interpreted by constituents. These firms must replace traditional command and control approaches with mechanisms that facilitate coordination within and across locales. These mechanisms must provide individuals, groups and units with the autonomy to improvise and act on local knowledge, while orchestrating coherent behavior across the firm. Processes—the assignment of task and responsibilities—must be supplemented with personal accountability.
The Converged Company
One sign of a converged company is that the people making decisions on business and technology are the same people – they are conversant in both. They have an understanding of the business mission and an appreciation for the technologies that enable it. However, enterprises that fail to take a multi-disciplinary approach can't move quickly or intelligently to seize advantage or respond to threats.
The quest for success in an organization today begins with repeatable, day-to-day disciplines through the converged management of business and technology.
Research conducted by the BTM Institute has shown that genuinely agile and innovative organizations have moved towards the convergence of business and technology management.
Convergence relies upon repeatable, cross-disciplinary management capabilities that will drive agile, innovative, extended enterprises. Convergence occurs in the establishment of organizational structures, processes, information flows and automation that unite decision-making from the boardroom to the project team.
Converged organizations are able to adapt and move rapidly in response to events and change. This is a direct result of the two "sides" of an organization acting in unison with full knowledge of what resources they have available and what they need to do to act on an opportunity or a threat.
Agility is the catalyst.
Survival is enabled.
Success is the result.

|Dr. Sandra Gillam
A professor in the Communicative Disorders and Deaf Education department at Utah State University is now an American Speech-Language-Hearing Association fellow.
Dr. Sandra Gillam's award recognizes her contribution to communication sciences, and it's one of the highest honors given by the professional association. ASHA is the certifying body for audiologists and speech-language pathologists.
She will receive her award at the ASHA Convention in Chicago next month.
Her work supports an important field. "For many children with language impairment their struggle is lifelong." For example, a child with a language impairment may experience grammatical problems when they are five years old, struggle with reading comprehension in the third or fourth grades and ultimately with expressing themselves and solving complex problems in high school. The language impairment doesn't go away, rather it at manifests itself in different ways over time.
"A large number of children with behavior problems also have a language problem," Gillam said. And it doesn't stop with school—job prospects and lasting relationships also require good language comprehension and production skills that support effective communication.
"In my opinion the children in our schools deserve the same level of services for their language learning and academic needs as a child with a medical issue," Gillam said. "We should be working hard to bolster the underlying language skills they need to meet the Common Core Curricular Standards. Ethically, we should be doing this to the best of our professional abilities."
Her research has focused on the assessment and intervention for children with disabilities and language impairments. Her most significant research project has been developing the Supporting Knowledge in Language and Literacy program. Its manual and materials are used by speech language pathologists, special educators and classroom teachers across the US and Canada.
SKILL approaches language as it is used in conversation and in classroom settings and academic instructional materials. It was designed to target narrative comprehension and production skills. It is unique, Gillam said. "Most instructional materials in the field are designed to enhance an individual skill such as improving use of past tense forms, rather than teaching children to integrate multiple skills at the same time."
And the work continues. Gillam and a team of graduate and undergraduate researchers are now laying the groundwork for an additional section in the SKILL manual, aimed at improving narrative skills for students with high-functioning autism (ASD).
It has been a very enlightening project, Gillam said. "We have learned that some children with ASD do not perform like many other children with language impairments. For example, they often come up with really interesting stories, but have difficulty talking about and relating to the characters in a story. We are excited to see how they do with the program and what they can teach us about how to make it better."

The art world was moved last week, as we were informed of the death of iconic English animator, John David Wilson, at the age of 93. Wilson was a household name in the animation world and is well known for his work during the 50's and 60's.
The Last of Us Concept Art

Escape Students go to Peerless!
Escape Student Sokratis Synitos writes...
"For what started out as a small tour, yesterday's visit to the Peerless Camera Company ended up a truly historical journey!
Small Soldiers - How was it done?
Small Soldiers was, no sorry –IS, in my book anyway - an awesome film, sure I may think that way because I've adorned it in a proverbial cloak of nostalgia, but regardless, I am part of a generation that found itself moved and entertained by the ongoing battle between the Gorgonites, led by the valiant Archer, and the antagonist Chip Hazard's Commando Elite.
Origami Anatomy!
Made a 3d model lately? Try downloading some of these templates... then print them out (yes, onto paper) and with a good old fashioned combination of glue and patience, you too can make these awesome sculptures of the anatomy human body.
"Two years from now, it's going to be one of the most badass things you've ever seen in your life"
The role of VFX in modern blockbusters has for a long time gone unnoticed, but since the recent furore at the Oscars it seems more and more people are speaking out about the importance of VFX and henceforth, the artists that create the magic.
Behind the scenes of some seriously iconic movies
I think it's fair to say, when it comes to films- everyone is a fan of behind the scenes photographs, especially when they're of some of the most iconic movies of all time, AND they show the making of some of the most well-known scenes ever.
Castling: A journey into folklore
Artist and friend of Escape, Tammy Lu, recently got in touch with regards to her latest project, titled 'Castling'.

Fast & Furious 6 – One epic finale sequence!.
The recent release of Fast and Furious 6 sees a refreshing change of setting - to the streets of London, which is fairly apt given that the lasting impression on the audience seems to be the epic VFX scenes, many of which were created right here London at Double Negative.
VFX that pass the test of time?
Doctor Who is a real household name for many people who grew up wanting to understand what VFX were all about, nowadays we consider the 70's and 80's visuals rather novelty, but it's worth considering that a lot of these opinions are derived from unfair context of hindsight.
3D Printing to hit the masses sooner than we think?
We do love a good Kickstarter project, and with 3D printing being all the rage of late, this one in particular caught our eye.
Escape Tutor Paul Harrison on the Wacom Cintiq13HD

Welcome to the Forum - General Aussie Chat
- 1Sep 25, '05 by gwenithHaving been guilty myself of hijacking threads saying hello and just chatting to my fellow Aussies I thought it might be worthwhile for us to have a thread that is just dedicated to general Aussie chat. We can then discuss issues like the Morris - oops Davis inquiry in Queensland and what it will mean for Q health and for the rest of Australia.
We can talk cricket, sport and anything else that is just us.
Say hello to new members dropping by.
Generally find out what is happening in the rest of the country.
I will make this thread a "sticky" so that it will always be at the top of the forum.
- 0Sep 26, '05 by Interested PartyNow that you have started this thread, I am stumped for words :stone ............. or maybe it's Monday-i-tis???? Let's wait til the weekend when my brains are working better
- 1Sep 29, '05 by jaxWell, I'll come and have a little winge. I am SO SICK OF FOOTBALL. Thank God the Aussie Rules is over and done with, only the league to go....
Then again, when I think it's all done, there's always soccer or gridiron or something that my husband and boys manage to find.
I know I'm a big spoil sport but sometimes enought is enough.
winge over ----feeling better now.
- 0Sep 29, '05 by Interested PartyHey Gwenith, maybe you should have called this thread 'Aussie Whinge'
My week's getting better ................ have 5 days off after tomorrow .............too tired to comment. Forster report coming out soon and hoping for extremely good recommendation from him and hopefully more funding for more staff:wink2:
- 0Good idea Gwenith!
Mental health was headline news here in S.A. again today. An elderly, -'bout 75yo, -suicided after being turned away, (as in probably not deemed "sick" enough!!), from hosp. after seeking help and support.
So,once again, the pollies, the beauracracts, hospital staff, etc. Are all blaming each other!!??!! :smackingf :deadhorse
Sad state of affairs really. It never used to be about numbers, $$$'s, etc. It once was mostly about caring for and providing health care for, PEOPLE!
That's the down side of getting older. :uhoh21: You have a memory of another time.
- 0Sep 30, '05 by gwenithHi Grace!! I am working with a couple of New Mexicans at the moment (and one Californian - the American invasion has begun) They can't get over some of our expressions like "Ta" for thank-you and "Boxing Day". Though with that lot I am not too sure who is pulling whose leg:chuckle

Tellybuzz brings to you 'Spooky and Uncanny' column with your favorite telly stars and tries to find out their beliefs in supernatural and their brush with uncanny! This week we got in touch with Varun Kapoor who is playing the role of Kabir in Channel V's Humse Hai Life!
Let's find out what Varun has to share with us.
Do you believe in supernatural?
Yeah I do believe in supernatural. I feel there is something existing in this universe, which is making things happen.
Craziest horror story ever heard as a kid.
I do have listened some of the craziest horror story as a kid. I used to hear such stories while I used to sit with my friends in school. Once they were narrating a story like whenever somebody will cross by a highway of our city with his bike all alone, he will find a lady dressed in white and she will ask for a lift.
Have you ever had a brush with uncanny?
No I haven't. I am a very simple guy and everything till date was normal with me.
When have you been the most scared?
I was scared the most when my board exam results were about to come out.
Favorite horror movie?
Shutter and The Exorcist are my favorite horror movies.
Horror dare?
Yes, I have experienced a horror dare when I was in Pune. There
is an Antichrist Church in the city area which is said to be haunted and once
we planned to go there. It was really a horror dare for me.

Driving through this stretch of Townline Road from Clay Pitts Rd to Pulaski Rd is like trying to drive through a minefield. There are pot holes EVERYWHERE and many of them are quite large. It is becoming very dangerous as people are constantly having to swerve out of their lane to avoid them and at night the lighting in the area is pretty poor, which doesn't help the situation.
Pot hole Archived297 Town Line Road East Northport, New York - Commack
Pot hole in southbound lane of Townline Road, across from entrance to Commack High School parking lot. Doesn't appear too deep at first glance, but I thought for sure I would find my tire blown out when I hit it the other day.

Potholes in middle of road.
County Road 66 Dix Hills, NY - Dix Hills
There is a deep pothole right where Deer Park Ave meets the on-ramp for Northern State Parkway. This area tends to flood when it rains so the hole disappears, and for someone who doesn't know it's there, you're almost guaranteed to hit it hard.
720 Larkfield Road East Northport, NY - Elwood
There's a deep pothole in the southbound right lane that you need to swerve out of lane to avoid. This is the closest address I could get, it's near one of the entrances to the Verizon yard.
Deep Pothole on Northwest Corner Archived4133-4199 Jericho Turnpike Elwood, NY - Elwood
Deep pothole on northwest corner of Larkfield/Jericho intersection. Makes turning onto Jericho somewhat difficult.

Wide deep potholes Archived324 Townline Road East Northport, NY 11731, USA - Commack
A few wide and deep potholes have formed on northbound Townline Rd just north of Scholar Ln. They take up the majority of the northbound lane.

Turn Arrow not Working Archived188 Indian Head Rd Commack, NY - Commack
Since this traffic light went out during last week's big storms the turn arrow at the intersection of Indian Head Rd and Somers Ln does not seem to be working. Specifically, this is the arrow for making a left off of Indean Head Rd onto Somers Ln (when heading northbound on Indian Head).

Can I split TriCor?
- Q: Can I split TriCor? I am not going to get it in my eyes, nose, or skin. I am going to put it in my mouth.
- A: TriCor should be taken whole, but you can cut it in half — if you need to — in order to swallow the tablet. If you are going to cut it, you should take it with food, because doing so will affect the coating on the tablet that is there to protect you from stomach upset.

To succeed in any combat sport a fighter must possess a variety of physical attributes ranging through endurance, strength, agility and power. Fighters must be able to draw on all of their physical attributes for the duration of competition to ensure they never leave themselves more vulnerable to attack. Training and conditioning must be varied and exhaustive to ensure a fighter has the ability to adapt to all situations and be able to compete from beginning to end. From a nutritional perspective, the diet must encourage a number of functions including physical growth, energy production and recovery. Whilst a solid and structured diet is essential for anyone competing in a combat sport the use of sports supplements can provide a massive boost to performance and can often be the difference between winning and losing.
This section of the website will provide a number of helpful tips and products that will help improve your physical performance in your chosen sport.
Although a competition could be over within seconds, fighters need to prepare themselves for the long haul. This means they must pack their body with the kind of energy that will ensure a constant stream of muscular fuel. A high quality carbohydrate like Palatinose is a great way to consume a readily available source of energy. Consumed before, during and after exercise provides the athlete with a great source of energy and also helps them stay hydrated.
The intensity and volume of training required in combat sports often drains the body of all of its energy stores. As muscles become fatigued from exercise it is essential to give them the fuel to recover. Protein and carbohydrates are regarded as essential for helping the body recover and grow after physical exercise. An all-in-one supplement like Hurricane XS provides a number of useful ingredients to promote physical recovery and boost physical performance. The carbohydrate and protein content are ideal for re-fuelling the body whilst the other ingredients can speed up the recovery process and ensure the body is primed for its next exercise session.
Finding an extra edge in combat sports can easily be achieved via nutritional supplementation. Creatine Monohydrate is the ideal supplement for improving your ability to produce powerful and explosive movements. Creatine has been proven to increase the production of ATP in the muscle which allows for more explosive energy more often whilst simultaneously delaying the onset of fatigue.
MSM, Glucosamine and Chondroitin is an ideal supplement to help maintain and boost the health of your joints especially around the cartilage. Due to the number of knocks and falls a fighter is likely to take in both training and competition, it is essential that they look after their joints from both a short-term and long-term perspective. A complete vitamin and mineral supplement is a must for any serious athlete. Alpha Men Super Multi-Vitamin will help the body flush out any unwanted toxins and also help improve the rate at which your body repairs itself after heavy physical exercise.

Disciplinary action, How long after?
- 0Jun 3, '03 by michelle126How long after an infringment (sp) do you have to formally write some one up? I would say immediatly or no latter than a week is appropriate. Now if the information came to the supervisors attention much later, then asap? Does this question make sense? My DON waits for ever to hand out discipline (Well she'll wait to fill the schedule for the week). A nurse who doubles 5 days a week was written up for calling off a month ago. This DON used her for the doubles, then wrote her up. Shouldn't it be ASAP, esp for incidents that affect pt care

How long after an infringment (sp) do you have to formally write some one up? A nurse who doubles 5 days a week was written up for calling off a month ago. This DON used her for the doubles, then wrote her up. Shouldn't it be ASAP, esp for incidents that affect pt care
My concern is for the safety for patients who are under this nurses care -- this nurse works 80 hours per week. What type of facility do you work in? LTC? Acute care?
I would run away from your unsafe facility which is clearly punitive and does not support employees. Disciplining staff? Are you made to stand in the corner? Yes, if a nurse does not follow safe practice -- investigate, write her up, and then SUPPORT/EDUCATE this nurse regarding the incident so that she learns from it. Regarding calling out, DISCIPLINE?
I take my position & patient care very seriously. I do the best I can. If I'm truly ill, I call out sick -- let them write me up as much as they want. Our raises are dependent on our calling out -- we are allotted so many days then we do not get a raise -- this is determined on our "official" number of hours worked -- ex. 32-hour or 40-hour employee and DOES NOT take into account all the extra shifts worked. I really don't care -- and as a charge nurse I know that I WANT my nurses to stay home and not infect the rest of the staff/patients -- we'll cover the hole somehow or suck it up. I would NEVER be punitive for a call out. If someone is chronically absent, then that 's a different story. But what kind of support/flexibility can we offer a valued staff member who is an integral part of the patient care team?
I know I'm rambling ... I'm just sick of nursing being so punitive. This is NOT grade school ... and the thought of being DISCIPLINED!!! makes me shake my head in disgust. Write me up ... support me .... whatever ... but discipline me (I don't think so.)
Just my thoughts.
- 0Jun 3, '03 by susanmaryOriginally posted by redshiloh
The time SHOULD be ASAP. You can get away with later on, but it sure makes anything hard to prove. Depends on your facility's policies. Sounds like the DON has an ax to grind with that nurse.
- 0Jun 3, '03 by KaroSnowQueenOne of the main reasons I got away from LTC. I saw this at every facility I worked at. People being used by the facility until the powers that be saw less of a need for them, then written up.
I have also seen people not written up for numerous infractions, some of which were minor and ignored when done by others, and all writeups given in one day, and the person fired the next day.
In my experience, LTC management is the worst about this.
And I have seen people volunteer for hours and hours of OT, then if they get sick and call in, even with a dr. slip get written up. Happens ALL the time.
- 0Jun 3, '03 by ChainedChaosRNIn my facility I only give attendance disciplinary actions on paydays. I follow the companies attendance policies for nurses and the unions for the CENA's. I do not have time to check the attendance book daily for 120+ employees for who is due for an attendance disciplinary action. Many of the employees come to me...and say "I'm due" they know the policy very well.
Regarding other disciplinary actions I serve them after I have completed a full investigation and determine disciplinary action is appropriate...or counseling is appropriate. Again my company's rules are detailed and fairly complete...so I'm not winging it.
If it's a termination offense I will probably run it by my companies Human Resource consultant...and even legal if I feel it's necessary.
I dislike terminating anyone and rarely do unless it's blatant negligence or insubordination. I prefer to counsel and educate up the whazoo...sometimes that fails. I've never terminated anyone that wasn't fully aware it was coming and they had full understanding of why.
Communication is key. The staff must know what my expectations and the company's are and the consequences of not doing what is expected. This is not rocket science...but some managers lack communication of their expectations.
- 0Jun 3, '03 by ChainedChaosRNOne other thing I want to add because I've ran across this alot over the years. Is when I counsel or give disciplinary action...it's a private matter between myself and the employee.
So very often I am accused of "You didn't write so and so up when they did this". You get the picture. Well as a matter of fact I have written so and so up, and so and so, and so and so...but it's none of their business.
Staff can be very petty at pointing fingers to a co-worker behind closed doors...more than you would think.
- 0Jun 4, '03 by calliouI agree that it should be done immediately.
Our DON decided that after about 2 months, people who missed work were written up for attendance. We had to sign the write up before we could pick up our checks!
The secretary gave us the write ups she had in a stack on her desk.....couldn't get paid till we signed the papers.... what a crock!
But that's the way our facility is run....believe me, if there were any other nursing oppertunities where I live, I'd be outta that messed up place!
- 0Jun 5, '03 by HuqMost of these so called rules and regulations are in place simply because the facility knows that the employee will probably not question them.
One does not have to sign a "write up' this is optional`
It is illegal to withhold a pay check for ANY reason.

Bob McDonnell on Tax Reform
It was Thomas Jefferson who called for "A wise and frugal Government which shall leave men free to regulate their own pursuits of industry; and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned." He was right. Today, the federal government is simply trying to do too much.
Last year, we were told that massive new federal spending would create more jobs 'immediately' and hold unemployment below 8%.In the past year, over three million Americans have lost their jobs, yet the Democratic Congress continues deficit spending, adding to the bureaucracy, and increasing the national debt on our children and grandchildren.
Therefore, if you pass a bill in this recession that raises taxes on the hardworking families of Virginia--I WILL VETO IT. And if you pass a budget embedded with those same tax increases--I WILL NOT APPROVE IT.
Republicans and Democrats in the General Assembly are on record opposing taking funds from these critical priorities to pay for roads. McDonnell's idea of using general funds for transportation is not new. In 2007, an editorial in the Daily Press of Hampton Roads said that McDonnell urged "the General Assembly to exploit the gap in state road funding as a rationale for reducing state spending on education, public safety, health care and conservation. That such an ideological purpose lies behind the Republican transportation proposal has been implied all along. McDonnell made it explicit.
McDonnell said he did not agree with all of Bush's policies but reaffirmed his belief that tax cuts are the right way to respond to an economic recession.

AMD Phenom II X4 840, Review, Fast, Cheap
New computer products are often fast, but rarely cheap. However, the new 3.2Ghz AMD Phenom II 840 CPU is very different (fast and cheap). The AMD Phenom II 840 CPU will replace AND upgrade my old QuickBooks systems. This mini review links to more substantial reviews, to save you time and money.
Despite the 840 Phenom name, the Athlon II core has a 2Mb L2 cache (no L3 cache). The 95 watt AMD Phenom II X4 840 also is very energy efficient, compared to other 125 watt Phenom II quad core CPUs. It delivers plenty of raw power, for only $99. Its 4126 Passmark CPU Benchmark makes the 840 #1 on the Top 50 Price Performance CPU list (fast and cheap). The 840 actually is 39% as fast as the fastest CPU, at 9% of its cost (fast and cheap).
Upgrades can be especially cost effective, because the 840 can use old Athlon II AM2 components. This means they can cost between $99 and $441. The AMD Phenom II X4 840 was strong in all benchmarks and actual usage. It far exceeded expectations for a $99 CPU. We are not kidding ourselves. The 840 is a sheep in wolf's clothing. In other words, the 840 may say "Phenom" on the box, but it is "Athlon" in the silicon. However, even though it is an Athlon, it is a 3.2Ghz quad core Athlon selling for $99. That is a staggering deal. As an AM2+ board upgrade, this CPU will blow you away (fast and cheap).
For the average user, this is a hard CPU to beat. It also runs incredibly cool, making it an ideal choice for an HTPC or a QuickBooks desktop.

AUSTIN - A federal report blames a woman's death last year in a northeast Texas state mental hospital on unnecessary restraints and poor medical care.
The U.S. Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services found that Ann Simmons died in Terrell State Hospital in February 2012 of a pulmonary embolism. The 62-year-old Pittsburg woman developed the embolism after she was held in restraints for 55 hours.
The report obtained by the Austin American-Statesman (http://bit.ly/14khfhR) concluded that was excessive and that she didn't receive proper nursing care.
The Texas Department of state Health Services says corrective action has been taken, but it may close the hospital's medical unit. Medicare investigators will investigate the hospital's overall operations and could revoke its certification. That would disqualify the hospital for federal money.

The Fountain
September 1st 2008 12:14
The film is Darren Aronofskys interpretation of the graphic novel of the same name, and boldly explores complex and thought-provoking themes such as death and the meaning of life.
The Fountains fractured chronology moves between three main stories; one set in present day, one in Spain during the time of the Conquistadores, and a third in a futuristic bubble traversing through time and space.
The film focuses on two lovers, played by Hugh Jackman and Rachel Weisz. Whilst Weiszs performance is arguably one of her best, Jackman is truly the star of the show here. Featuring in every single one of the Fountains scenes, Jackmans talents are showcased here through a consistently powerful and emotional performance.
Some critics have labelled The Fountain as visual poetry, and the artistic creativity that Aronofsky offers certainly justifies this distinction.
The Fountain is a groundbreaking film that comes as close to redefining a genre as any can hope for, and is one that would be appreciated not simply by romantics but by those who appreciate cinematic innovation in general.

WASHINGTON (AP) - Senior Cabinet officials have gone to Capitol Hill to testify to the Senate Armed Services Committee, as the White House looks for additional congressional support for a military strike against Syria.
It's in response to the Syrian government's alleged use of chemical weapons.
President Barack Obama met earlier today with more than a dozen lawmakers to push for an attack aimed at dismantling Bashar Assad's chemical weapons capabilities.
Afterward, leaders of both parties in Congress said the U.S. needs to act.

On any given Friday or Saturday evening in Southern California, you can probably find mellow jazz somewhere nearby. Hotel bars and restaurants all over the LA and San Diego area host jazz musicians or at least pipe in some jazz for you to enjoy while sipping a martini and chatting it up with your friends. While this isn't a bad thing, it can make the search for a true jazz venue kind of confusing. This is because any restaurant or bar that has hosted a jazz musician at least once in the past six months likes to call itself a jazz venue. But you might show up at said venue only to find that the talent booked for the evening is hip-hop.
So what we've tried to do (hopefully with some success) is create a list of venues that predominantly feature jazz. This mission is further complicated because jazz venues seem to come and go with regularity. Feel free to tell us if something we have here is out of date or if we need to add a listing.

History | Were Paterson FC the first stateside association football club?
Posted By John Turnbull On 16 April 2008 @ 19:04 In History,USA | 6 Comments
Which was the first American association football team? The answer is difficult to pin down. Some evidence points to Oneida Football Club [1] of Boston, honored with an obelisk [2] in Boston Common as "the first organized football club in the United States."
While Oneida played one of the football codes—perhaps a soccer-rugby hybrid—beginning in 1862, photographic evidence offered by a descendant of a Paterson FC captain suggests that the New Jersey side, formed in 1880, staked claim early to playing by the Football Association rules established in London in 1863 (see also Mar 30 [3]).Canada-based historian Colin Jose [4] notes the Internet-aided trend toward soccer research. With people "digging things out of their closets," mostly material from the post–World War II era, the researcher's winnowing and fact-checking—typically on eye-straining, locally held microfilm collections—begins. "Who knows?" says Jose, asked if Paterson FC might have a claim as the first U.S.-based association football team. "Everyday something new comes out of the woodwork."
Paterson had representatives in American Football Association competitions, with sides known as Paterson Thistle, Paterson Rangers and Paterson True Blues. The latter won the American FA Cup, launched in 1885, three times. By 1887, according to a New York Times report, Paterson had two association teams. Whether UK resident Patricia Wright's photograph is of the "True Blues" or another side is unknown; the team's hooped kit is of uncertain color. One clearly sees, however, the extent of the administrative apparatus: 23 dapper gents, most with facial hair, well outnumbering the 11 players.
Paterson remains an important site in industrial history. As early as 1794 a cotton-spinning factory was drawing energy from the Great Falls' 77-foot Passaic River cascade. Silk production began in the late 1830s and quickly drew attention from abroad, especially from Macclesfield in England's northwest. In 1890 New Jersey had 17,500 workers in the silk-weaving and dyeing industries, most in the "Silk City" of Paterson. That association football became an important recreation should not surprise. In 1882, the New York Times reprinted a Times of London article that testified to the association game's popularity in the British capital:
Saturday is the great day of the week for foot-ball players, and a rough calculation would indicate that on every Saturday afternoon during the season from 30,000 to 40,000 men and boys are engaging in the game, of whom nearly one-fourth are players residing in and around London. … The final round of the association challenge cup ties … produces a wonderful exhibition of combined skill, in which the players seem to use their feet with as much natural precision as they would use their hands, reminding us of those painters who, by whim or compulsion of nature, have successfully wielded the brush with their toes instead of their fingers.
Given the availability of skilled UK workers, English-born silk-industry owners predominated in Paterson between 1850 and 1890. The Paterson Weekly Press in 1872 published a poem, "The Silk Weavers," in northern English dialect ("Aw'm a poor silk-weaver, it's plain / To be seen by my coat an' my hat; / For a ghost aw mat easy be ta'en / For aw'm very near equally fat."). Immigrants believed that Paterson offered more opportunity for entrepreneurial and class mobility, sometimes citing a 19th-century saying that "in England the chances for success are one out of ten unless born of rich parents; in America, nine out of ten."Around this time, in 1883, the man who would become the poet laureate of New Jersey's industrial north, William Carlos Williams, was born in nearby Rutherford. He said he chose Paterson for the setting of his epic five-part poem, published in increments between 1946 and 1958, in order "to embody the whole knowable world about me." "A man is indeed a city," Williams writes earlier in his autobiography, "and for the poet there are no ideas but in things."
I thought of other places upon the Passaic River, but, in the end, the city, Paterson, with its rich colonial history, upstream, where the water was less heavily polluted, won out. The falls, vocal, seasonally vociferous, associated with many of the ideas upon which our fiscal colonial policy shaped us through Alexander Hamilton, interested me profoundly—and what has resulted therefrom. Even today a fruitful locale for study. I knew of these things.
Patricia Wright says of her husband's great-grandfather, the one-time captain of Paterson FC, that he decided to return to England in the late 19th century. "He became very involved with football in the UK but we have no information," she writes.
Naturally, we would welcome more in-depth news of this nascent Paterson side. Williams, himself, does not write of the association game and its north Jersey traditions, although he does speak of the gridiron variant, in the negative, in In the American Grain:
Our life drives us apart and forces us upon science and invention—away from touch. Or if we do touch, our breed knows no better than the coarse fiber of football. … To me, it is because we fear to wake up that we play so well. Imagine stopping money making.
Richard D. Margrave, "Technology Diffusion and the Transfer of Skills: Nineteenth-Century English Silk Migration to Paterson," in Silk City: Studies on the Paterson Silk Industry, 1860–1940, ed. Philip B. Scranton (Newark: New Jersey Historical Society, 1985), 9–34; William Carlos Williams, The Autobiography of William Carlos Williams (New York: New Directions, 1967); idem, In the American Grain (New York: New Directions, 1956).
Smith dates the first report of an American association game in a non-scholastic context to 15 Nov 1879: a 6–6 draw between Brooklynites Foot Ball Club and Bostonians Foot Ball Club.
The full provenance of Wright's team, Paterson FC, is not known or whether it correlates to the team referred to as "Thistle" or the "True Blues."

Thank you—especially for that marvelous line from In the American Grain. Williams was a marvelous poet and writer, and I was waiting to see if you'd bring in his epic poem Paterson. What an interesting story, and what a great picture of 19th-century New Jersey!

I have been researching the Oneida Football Club of Boston and have found some of their original documents. The boys saw their original game carried across the Charles River to Harvard from Boston Common and meshed their rules with McGill's Rugby play.
Gridiron football did not develop from soccer according to their records.
I visited the Oneida "round ball" yesterday … he does get lonely.
I am publishing a photocopy collection of the documents in May 2010 for researchers.
