Todd Krieger | May 26, 2009 | Comments
Two recent developments move forward the marriage of TV and Web content.
A favorite part of my job is connecting the dots, whether that's connecting a marketer to a piece of content or a media owner to a piece of technology. And this applies equally to trying to divine trends and even tipping points for how we consume content today and into the future.
Two different data points emerged over the past two weeks that show how rapidly our various viewing methods are converging and have implications for the future.
First, during the turkey holidays, while the economy continued its downward spiral, the wily media wizards over at Sling took the wraps off the beta of its video site sling.com. More recently, in discussing its Internet-enabled Bravia TVs, Sony alluded to brokering a deal with Comcast to allow for a more seamless integration to allow that product to really flourish.
When Sling, makers of the Sling Box -- a.k.a., the consumer electronic device of the media elite -- announced it was creating an online video portal, those of you who let loose a collective yawn can certainly be forgiven. After all, YouTube has the mass (50 percent and growing), and Hulu, with its strong base of Fox and NBC content, looks to be cornering the market on premium content. What could Sling, now no longer an independent but a wholly owned subsidiary of a satellite company of all things, possibly do?
Well, take a look. Sling.com feels more like what a TV experience online should be. It's slicker, more user friendly, and affords better branding opportunities for marketers and content owners than Hulu.
So in addition to having made a deal with Hulu -- which means all Hulu content is available at Sling, it has made deals with a wide variety of small and large content holders, including CBS, BBC, Sony, and MGM, as well as Web faves, The Onion and College Humor. And as it is in the business of consumer electronics and distribution versus content ownership, its third-party status gives the enterprise the true feeling of "we're just here to get the content to you," as opposed to being the online extension of a media owner.
The big difference at the moment for Sling.com is that people who own both a Slingbox and a PC can stream TV content directly through the Sling portal. Though this involves a kludgey device (Slingbox) and requires a broadband connection on both ends, this is still one step closer to true convergence. Premium content from CBS, NBC, and Fox, plus Internet content like the Onion and blip.tv, recorded on a TiVo will all be delivered in one place, through one interface, without one having to troll around or open new windows.
Instead of content from TV appearing on your PC, the flip side of this involves PC content appearing on your TV. That's where the Sony Bravia Internet-linked TV comes in. (My hat goes off to Saul Hansell of "The New York Times" for picking this up.)
Stan Glasgow, president of Sony Electronics, says Sony has been working with Comcast to have Internet-related content appear in the same onscreen guide as TV content. Here's the money quote: "If you have to ask a consumer to switch sources constantly between cable and another source, it is not the normal consumer experience," he said. "There has to be a more integrated way to have cable and Internet content on the same user interface." And though he says it may not happen until 2010, it clearly is happening.
So with Sling you've got all your TV content on your PC, in one interface -- admittedly with too many devices. With Sony, you'll get your Internet content seamlessly integrated into your TV viewing experience. Now if that's not true convergence, I don't know what is.

My One and I are on the way back home after a week of riding in Morocco. I'm a lousy photographer, and I got basically no picutres of riding, but the place is unbelieveable. Some truly unique riding, and experences. I just had to share the stroke.
I think the only riding picture from the trip. You can see for easily 50 miles from up there.
View from the side of an unbelievable mule path. Trails aren't recreation for these people, they are transportation. This was in the middle of probably 10 miles of descending countour trail
I had some misunderstandings about the climate in this part of Africa. Up in the mountains, it's very green in the winter and spring. Apparently it gets more and more brown as the year goes on, and it gets hotter and drier.
Some Moroccoan kids giving it a go. Don't tell them the bike is too big! I was afraid they were going to launch it off a cliff or something...
Anyway, that's all for now. My One now has dirt on it from 3 continents, still the best bike I've ridden.

"Dan Brown's latest historical/conspiratorial/symbological mystery had a stellar first day," said Keith Staskiewicz in Entertainment Weekly. Brown's The Lost Symbol sold more than a million copies in the U.S., Britain, and Canada Wednesday, breaking Barnes & Noble's first-day sales record for an adult book—"'adult,' in this case, being shorthand for 'not Harry Potter.'" However you read the sales data, it "spells major success for the author."
That's great for Dan Brown, said Alexandria Sage in Reuters. But it's also welcome news for publishers and booksellers, who've "wallowed in a slump in recent years," especially during the recession. The first-day sales pushed shares of Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and Borders higher Wednesday, and Bank of America Merrill Lynch upgraded Amazon to "buy."
Sure, the release of The Lost Symbol was a "major moment" in the book world, said Jon Friedman in Marketwatch, but it "simply won't save a beaten-down industry." Why? First of all, Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and Borders, having been handed the "hottest book in two-plus years," are selling it "at a knockoff level," as a sort of loss leader. "Do the math"—this doesn't add up to good business.
The cheapest version of The Lost Symbol is on Amazon's Kindle e-reader, said Eric Engleman in TechFlash. And, amazingly, the $9.99 Kindle version is beating the discounted $16.17 hardback version on Amazon, as well as every other book at the world's largest bookstore. Amazon "scored a coup" by getting Random House to agree to release the Kindle version Wednesday, and its gamble is paying off.

Tips and TricksArt and the way it is used.It is not easy to say you are an artist because inevitably people want to see what you have done, they want to look at your work and say 'hmm yes that's art' or smirk with 'what the hell is she thinking?'For a person like myself, art is an expression of the moment. That moment might span weeks, even months of creation time, some floating around in the mind until it comes down on paper. The vision might be grander than the product, but the product is part of the vision. The product might not be one hundred percent what originally intended, it might have flaws, it might not have worked out at all. The important thing is that is was tried and that is what the vision was all about.So next time you start an artwork, or see someone else's artwork, try and see the vision behind it.That being said, I also find that I like to analyse the art and the process behind it. I take in progress shots to see the way the vision weaves itself into the final product. A
Creating your own MangaIntroductionYou have a great story, a bunch of characters and you want to create a manga. However, where do you start? Do you have it Left->Right or Right->Left? How should you publish it (*note: some publishers may have additional requirements/restrictions)?The process is pretty much the same for any graphic progression such as comics.Luckily, there are a great number of tutorials to help you on your way.StoryboardingA storyboard is a panel or series of panels which detail the sequence of significant events in a planned scene, i.e. a rough sketch coupled with some words to describe the actions in the scene.At this point you'd need to have an idea of whether you are making a left->right or right->left manga and your story has been separated into scenes and plot points you wish to use to drive your story.Tutorials

Using Failed Policies for Political Advantage
By IAfrica

When leftist economic and social policies result in catastrophe, the architects of those policies typically cite the bad conditions as evidence that their programs simply have not been implemented as fully as they need to be. And voters, in turn, are persuaded to vote for more of the same. This phenomenon has a name: "The Curley Effect."

this is one of the worst casts of BB I have seen. I hope Frankie gets voted out soon. He is so ****ing annoying.
the law is clear and DA's always charge people for killing fleeing criminals. the threat was over and the stand your ground defense ended when she fled and pleaded for her life
now if he had kept...
he killed her in the alley after she had fled the house. that is murder, he had to kill the ***** in his house to get off clean
my wife used to blow me, take it in the ***, and **** daily before we married. now I am lucky to get any p00n and never *** and never a bj
got damn I missed the show tonight, anyone know a place that posts it?
exactly right. he stayed in Miami until he realized Wade was done so he ran back to play with young studs.
in most peoples eyes he will always be an opportunistic ring chaser.
there is a baseball game tonight? :sleep:
I heard Jordan say that he wanted Phil to keep going but Phil ended it
why do these fools give up money for Lebron. Especially when their careers are at their end.
ok Dwayne
why do you care about someone who doesnt give a **** about you? poor guy will get by somehow
I live in sw fl so that is the team on my tv and radio
UD is better than an injured Wade yet makes a fraction of his salary

Can confirm report -- 1st by AP -- that Wade's deal is 1 year plus option. Heat wanted flexibility in 2016. Got it. And he sacrificed again.
cue Nikeman in 3.2.1
mother ****er has not sacrificed more than Duncan, Ginobli, or Parker, those guys are more loyal by a mile than Wade. now Wade may be the prettiest ***** in the NBA....... or is it Chalmers
I for one will be on the edge of my seat everytime he gets the ball expecting the worst
Bulls will continue to treat Knicks like their *****
the wannabe thug above me posted a video of D Rose tearing his ACL to mock him. what a POS
yes, it is very impressive how loyal he is, I know he could care less about the money

Product description
The common man in the Roman street is beginning at last to attract the attention he deserves from specialists;his active, noisy role in the politics of the late Republic has been restored to him and now the time has come to try to look a bit further inside his head, at his culture, not in the conventionally book-defined sense of what - if anything - he read and wrote, but of the songs he sang, the dances and music he preferred, the shows he saw, the games he played, the scraps of knowledge he picked up, the Greek he learned from the Syrians across the landing, the odds and ends of the history of Rome he had picked up from statues, processions, plays. This is the first attempt to reconstruct what your average Roman talked about in the bar or in the multi-seater latrine. All Latin is translated and all due care is taken of the non-specialist's requirements.

Author information
Nicholas Horsfall has been an independent scholar for the last fifteen years, in Rome and then in Oxfordshire; before that he taught at University College London. He writes chiefly on Latin poetry, but has also ventures into late Republican history and epigraphy. This is his ninth book.
Review quote
"Most histories of Roman antiquity principally focus on the elite aristocracy and the military generals that supported or overthrew them. The Culture Of The Roman Plebs by independent scholar Nicholas Horsfall is a welcome and long needed history that specifically addresses the life of the common people that populated and made possible what became known as the Roman Empire. From the noisy, active role of the common populace, to their songs, dances, music, shows, games, and daily life, The Culture Of The Roman Plebs fills in the larger picture. Of special note is that Nicholas Horsfall has meticulously translated and reconstructed what the average Roman talked and thought about as recorded in graffiti and the other odds and ends of notation derived from the records of ordinary Roman life as they have survived over the past two thousand years. The Culture Of The Roman Plebs is a welcome and enthusiastically recommended addition to academic library collections and would make an excellent title for community library Ancient History collections for non-specialist general readers with an interest in Roman history." -- The Midwest Book Review

CHARGERS MATCHUPS: vs. New Orleans Saints
What to expect (Edge - Saints)
You have two desperate teams badly in need of a victory to avoid a 3-5 record at the midway point. Though both the Saints and Chargers were tabbed as possible Super Bowl participants before the season, neither team would be in the playoffs if the field were set today. Trying to pick which one of these up-and-down teams will be more ready to play at Wembley Stadium is like trying to decide whether Big Ben or the London Eye is the better tourist attraction. In other words, eye of the beholder reigns. Both teams can move the football through the air and both teams are prone to defensive issues. So the safe bet is to predict that the scoreboard operator will be kept busy. If you're looking for what could make the difference in a high-scoring shootout, consider this: The Chargers are scoring touchdowns in just 50 percent of their red-zone possessions (13-of-26), while the Saints are sixth in the NFL in keeping teams out of the end zone (allowing just 9 TDs in 25 chances) once opponents venture inside their 20-yard line. And with the Saints playing the second of four consecutive games away from the Louisiana Superdome, it's likely they are a tad more desperate than the Chargers to avoid a long dreary flight back to the United States.
PICK: Saints 38, Chargers 34
-- Mike Sullivan
Another view
Sheldon Mickles, Baton Rouge Advocate
Saints 38, Chargers 37
Let's see: the Saints lead the NFL in passing and the Chargers rank 32nd against the pass. On the other hand, the Chargers are ninth in passing, while the Saints are 21st against the pass. If the Saints can slow down L.T. -- Minnesota's Adrian Peterson had just 32 yards on 21 carries against them -- this winds up being a jolly-good Brees-Rivers shootout. First one to 38 (points) wins.

Vegging Out in a Winter Wonderland: Top 10 Vegetables for the Winter Season
Posted By Worker Bee On January 8, 2008 @ 12:21 pm In Carbs,Diet,Health,Nutrition,Prevention,Top 10 Lists | 13 Comments
Mashed potatoes and steak, mashed potatoes and chicken, mashed potatoes and meat loaf. And we wonder why people pack on the pounds once winter hits. Break out of your vegetable rut with these popular winter wonders:
Touted as an excellent source of fiber, and vitamins A and C, artichokes also provide a hefty dose of magnesium, folate, copper, potassium and phosphorous. The artichokes themselves are compromised of a meaty lower half, known as the heart, and a protective covering of purple leaves and thorns (but don't let that discourage you!). Artichokes are best when submerged in cold water, rubbed with lemon (to prevent browning) and then steamed or served cold in salad with a tart vinaigrette.
Bok Choy:
Although once relegated to Asian dishes, Bok Choy is increasingly stepping out and moonlighting as another winter favorite…the cabbage. Indeed, this leafy green vegetable—which is an excellent source of folate and vitamins A and C—has become a popular addition to winter casseroles as well as a regular accompaniment to corned beef! Bok Choy is best when the leaves are glossy and free of brown spots and the stalks are a bright white.
Broccoli Rabe:
The international vegetable of mystery, this leafy green vegetable is not only easy to confuse with just plain ol' broccoli, but also has more aliases than Jennifer Garner (often going by the name of just rabe or, harking back to its Italian roots, rapini). This popular salad favorite—which is also good served steamed or lightly sautéed in olive oil—is a good source of vitamin C and iron and contains high volumes of phytochemicals, which are though to protect against cancer.
Rising to popularity during the Atkins diet frenzy of the 90s, if the cauliflower could speak it would request to be considered more than just a substitute for mashed potatoes. Counting broccoli and cabbage among its not-too-distant relatives, cauliflower is thought to reduce the risk of cancer, particularly those affecting the colon and liver. Cauliflower can be used to add bulk to winter casseroles and soups but is also tasty when steamed and paired with a cheese or chilli sauce or served raw in salads.
Celery Root:
Although it gets a bad rap for having a high Glycemic Index (and for being possibly one of the ugliest vegetables in the produce aisle) celery root actually contains very little sugar, meaning that it overall has very little impact on blood sugar levels. Further upping its health ante, celery root—or celeriac—is a good source of vitamin C, calcium and iron. Similar to cabbage, celery root makes a popular addition (or substitution) in coleslaw, stir fry, or to add flavoring in various soups and stews.
Logging off the chart levels of vitamin K, A and C and a high fiber content for relatively few calories, kale sure does pack a mean nutritional punch. The high vitamin A content—which logs in at 164% RDA for one cup—provides protection against ailments of the eye and promotes lung health, while the vegetable's vitamin C content bolsters the body's immune response and provides protection against rheumatoid arthritis. Kale is best served as an addition to hearty winter soups and stews.
A few carefully placed cuts can easily transform these mighty morsels into a beautiful rose garnish, but this little red stunner is also a rich source of vitamin C, potassium, magnesium, folate, sulphur, iron and iodine. Used to spice up a vegetable juice cocktail, liven up a salad or add punch to a stir-fry, the radishes anti-inflammatory properties can help clear sinus cavities, soothe a sore throat or even reduce the symptoms of asthma. In addition, the veggies' high potassium level can promote kidney health and reduce the risk of stroke.
Rhubarb and custard, rhubarb pie, rhubarb cobbler, rhubarb jam…and the desert list goes on. Despite frequently masquerading as a delectable desert option, this vegetable (that's right, vegetable!) also works well when paired with richer meats such as lamb or when added to salad dressings, salsas or sauces. Healthwise, rhubarb is considered a good source of calcium, fiber and vitamin C and is thought to extinguish heartburn, reduce cholesterol, decrease hot flashes in menopausal women and protect against infection.
Snow Peas:
Coming to us as the flatter, sweeter version of the run-of-the-mill garden pea, the sweet pea is a prime source of fiber, vitamin C, iron, potassium and magnesium. Eaten pod-included, the snow pea makes a welcome addition to stir-fried dishes featuring soy, sesame and ginger as well as in when added raw to salads.
Rumored to be a Liz Hurley slim down secret—when made into soup—watercress can also be added to salads, served as a garnish with fish or poultry or used to add flavor to stir-fry and other Asian dishes. Watercress logs high levels of beta-carotene and vitamin C as well as the minerals calcium and iron for increased immunity.

Dissecting Blackwater
A congressional report says Blackwater guards have an aggressive history, and that the security firm has tried to cover up several shootouts in Iraq. These guys are making life harder for uniformed soldiers by "needlessly" alienating Iraqis, sai
Acongressional report released Monday found that security firm Blackwater USA's guards have been involved in 195 "escalation of force" incidents in Iraq since 2005. The company's guards, who protect U.S. diplomats, repeatedly fired guns from moving cars in Iraq without stopping to check on casualties. In some cases, the report said, Blackwater—the firm involved in a controversial fatal shootout last month—tried to cover up incidents, and the State Department made little effort to hold the firm accountable.
Blackwater was "a polarizing force in Iraq and in Washington" long before last months shootout, which killed 10 Iraqi civilians, said The Washington Post in an editorial (free registration). Our own military officers "resent the private fighters," who play by more aggressive rules than our soldiers and "needlessly" alienate Iraqis.
The Blackwater shootout "has reinforced a negative image of contractors in Iraq," said the National Defense University's Peter McHugh in The Miami Herald (free registration), but "we still don't know exactly what happened." Witnesses have given conflicting reports. Maybe the media's "rush to judgment results from recognition that this might be an opportunity to attack the president and the strategy in Iraq without attacking our military heroes."
Blackwater has certainly received more attention from reporters than the good news in Iraq, said Pete Hegseth in National Review Online's The Tank blog. "While the mainstream media reports on roadside bombs and missed benchmarks, American soldiers—along with Iraqi security forces—continue to make great security gains."
The "surge" of U.S. troops is clearly working, said John Podhoretz in the New York Post. How else do you explain the fact that civilian fatalities dropped by 53 percent, from 1,975 in August to 922 in September? The bottom line is that "hundreds and hundreds of Iraqis are alive today" who would be dead if U.S. forces weren't making progress.
OK, but progress toward what? said Barbara F. Walter in the Los Angeles Times (free registration). History tells us that civil wars almost always "drag on" for many, many years." So "if we don't plan to stay for a very long time in Iraq, there is no added benefit in staying a few extra years." And even then we're not likely to see a government that ties together the country's warring factions—most civil wars end with a "decisive" victory for one side, and resentful losers who refuse to "lay down their arms" for good.

Thought I'd share this one with the group. It's become my house beer. So simple, so good.
10lbs Maris Otter
.25oz Mosaic (12.7%) @ 60min
.75oz Mosaic (12.7%) @ 15min
1.0oz Mosaic (12.7%) @ 0min (hopstand for 20min before chilling)
2.0oz Mosaic (12.7%) - Dry Hop
US-05 (rehydrated)
Mash at 152-153*F. The US-05 will drop it pretty low, so adjust for your preference.
Calculated for ~75% mash efficiency.
Whirlfloc at 10min
Simple SMaSH beer that tastes unbelievably good. Great showcase for the Mosaic hops. Comes in right around 5%, so it's a great session beer. Nice tropical fruit notes from the Mosaic. Do the hopstand - I think it's noticeable and worth the extra 20min during brewday. I do it with all my hoppy beers (I give it a few stirs throughout the hopstand with the chiller). You do get some bitterness from such a hopstand, so keep that in mind. I put 3min into Beersmith for 20min hopstand additions to account for the additional bitterness. YMMV.
Ferments out nicely in 2 weeks. I usually start at 64*F and then crank it up to 68*F after 4 or 5 days to finish out. After that I rack to a keg - usually cold crashing first. If it's going straight into the kegerator after racking I add the dry hops to the keg (strainer bag tied w/ dental floss), put it in the kegerator, force carbonate cold for 10 days or so, then drink. I leave the dry hops in the whole time while drinking. If it's not going into the kegerator right away I add the dry hops to the keg for 4 or 5 days at room temp, then remove them (strainer bag again) and prime the keg with corn sugar. It will be carbed and ready to go in a couple weeks. Tastes amazing either way.
The name has no special meaning (my name isn't Manwell) - a while back my buddy and I drank a keg of this goodness over a couple days and he just started calling it that. Woke up the second day and it was scribbled on the keg board. The name has stuck.
If you like Mosaic or are looking to try it, I highly recommend making this beer. I'm going to make another batch this weekend. I like having a keg of it in the back room all ready to go. Hope you dig it and happy brewing.
This sounds very interesting to me. Been looking for something lie this. Guess I'll have to give it a try next weekend. I got half pound of mosaic for Christmas, so.... I'll let you know how it turns out! Should be ready for big fishing trip with the guys.
Nice man. Good luck with the brew - I think you'll really enjoy it. Should be a great beer for quaffing on a fishing trip. Look forward to hearing how it goes.
I'm assuming this is for 5 gallons right?
I'm going to make this for a party. Everybody likes pale ale. (I think) And it should be cost effective and tasty.
Just waiting for my temperature controller to come in the mail so I can dial in the ferm temps just right
Yeah, 5 gallons man. Should be a great party beer. Post back how it goes. Cheers.
I just placed an order for the MO and Mosaic. I had a Mosaic pale ale at Freestate brewery a few weeks ago that was fantastic. I cant wait for this one!
I did this pretty much to directions with a couple mishaps. I substituted nottingham for 05 because I just like nottingham and they're practically interchangeable anyways
During my mash, heated strike water to 167 to try to hit 153-152 as directions said. My stove pot is just really good at keeping heat and I found after five to eight minutes it was in the 160s. I freaked and threw a bunch of ice cubes in it which brought it down to about 152-150 for the next 45 minutes or so. I've heard once you mash too hot, the conversion just happens and there's not much you can do. Needless to say, I might have a thicker, sweeter beer than intended.
Still hit a OG of 1.057 which is fine, but I'm assuming some of those are definitely unfermentables
Chilled to 64 degrees and pitched. Currently going at 64 as is the ambient temp in my house (still waiting on that johnson temp controller, ugh)
I'll post results and pics in a few weeks. Thanks again!
Got a lb of Mosaic hops for 10 bucks from a pro-brewer friend and was wondering what to do with them. Now I know. lol
Gonna brew this one up in the next few weeks with only slight variations. I'll let you know how it comes out. Thanks for the recipe!
Brewing this up tomorrow!
Nice. Let us know how it goes. I'm brewing a red ale with Columbus and Mosaic tomorrow morning. Great minds hop alike apparently.
Enjoy the brew.

If Amniofix injectable stays on market during FDA studies and Pete beats the SEC, what will MDXG status/ stock price be?
My two suppositions seem likely, but would someone buy MDXG prior to completion of required FDA studies which may take a couple years?
If Medtronics can market epifix on a global scale then the 2014 estimated revenues could be far too low. The estimate of their contribution of 1 million in revenue may be far to low.
The injectable is a non issue or they would have pulled it by now. The studies are low cost.
Pete's SEC troubles do not effect the fundamentals of MDXG, I hope he wins.
I am hoping for at least 16.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
I believe Epifix is worth 20 bucks to some firm. If amniofix takes over cortisone shots, and other indications like oral dentistry , rotator cuff, spinal surgery, plantar fasciitis, tennis elbow, Achilles' tendon ,prostate surgery and many others, pick a number for that 7 billion dollar market per year. As we have said many times, the disruptive product Epifix is a home run, Amniofix has the chance of being a grand slam, and in all my years of investing the time to make money is before the proof comes, not afterwards.
Somewhere between $6 and $10.
$12-$15. Smelly, did you see doc asked about Q2 in 2015 not the current quarter? if those 2 positive outcomes happen, I see now way the stock is anywhere close to $6 a year from now

W. David Stephenson is the principal at Stephenson Strategies in Medfield, Mass., and a government/enterprise 2.0 consultant.
I've heard nothing in early discussions about the so-called supercommittee charged with finding more than $1 trillion in budget cuts to indicate that it is considering structural changes in how the government operates. That's a terrible omission.
There's little hope for long-term savings if we continue to run the government using obsolete 20th-century methods. That's why the final package of cuts should include a management plan that builds on the proposals by the GOP and the Obama administration to radically alter the way government agencies report on their operations and process information from corporations.
The benefits could include billions of dollars in savings and improvements in operational efficiency, service delivery and transparency.
The Digital Accountability and Transparency Act, introduced by Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) in June, would require government agencies and their grant and contract recipients to report on all spending on a quarterly basis using systems based on a global open standard. The same day Issa introduced his bill, the Obama administration issued an executive order to promote greater government efficiency and accountability. It included a requirement to ensure the reliability of government spending data and collect and display that data.
By building on those two approaches, we could have a one-report system that government and business could use for daily internal operations and external reporting, with a wide range of benefits to the organizations and the public.
The key is the Extensible Business Reporting Language (XBRL), a free global standard. Its "tags" bond additional information to data to give it context. With the right support systems, the data could flow automatically and in real time to wherever it is needed. And data would only have to be entered once, thereby producing major improvements in accuracy and efficiency.
It could give employees at companies and agencies the real-time information they need to make better decisions. It would let employees better coordinate with suppliers and customers to improve efficiency and earn public confidence through transparency. The tagged data is machine (i.e., computer) readable, which would also allow many manual processes to be automated.
In addition, regulatory reports could be generated automatically from that same data, which would achieve the Republican goal of cutting regulatory compliance costs.
The key elements of such an approach are already in effect in the Netherlands and Australia under what is called Standard Business Reporting. It allows businesses to file a single XBRL report with the central government. The data then flows automatically to the relevant agencies. Companies can save as much as 25 percent on their reporting costs, while the public interest is better protected because multiple agencies can analyze the same information simultaneously. U.S. companies must already use XBRL when filing reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
But Standard Business Reporting is only the start of a one-report system. To realize the full benefits, agencies and businesses would need to start using an expanded version of XBRL, called XBRL Global Ledger, to run their daily internal operations. If the legislation that results from the supercommittee's deliberations mandates that government agencies adopt XBRL GL, their increased efficiency should inspire companies to follow suit.
The Technology CEO Council, a group of technology innovation companies, recently reported that the federal government could save $1 trillion by pursuing a variety of proven private-sector innovations, such as cloud computing. Single reporting could further add to those savings and allow for a smaller, more efficient government while encouraging economic growth. That would constitute 21st-century management for government and the private sector.

These XML-based standards are fine as enablers, but all the supporting pieces have to be there as well, namely: 1) Agencies must require machine-validated documents, rejecting those that do not validate. 2) Agencies must maintain validation schema(s) with new XML standards updates 3) Agencies must control the constructs of the XML to prevent the goals of the standards being put out of reach or violated. With XBRL, the Security and Exchange commission, and the managers of the XBRL standard, has failed on all these counts. The voluntary XBRL submissions are not being validated as a condition of acceptance. The XBRL standard has allowed for organizationally-defined calculation methods of arbitrary complexity to be inserted in the data. And obviously, if companies can redefine calculations, there is no schema to validate the calculations, the basic goals of transparency through a single data stream which is both human readable and machine processable, have been lost.
It's not enough to have an XML standard that _could_ be used for auditable automated transparent data reporting, there must be no way to successfully follow the submission steps _without_ yielding auditable automated date reporting. Else those with an interest in obfuscating the information, whether it is the businesses themselves, or even those companies living off providing the machine-readable data to clients at a high rate of profit, will continue to do so.

Goodwill Gets Federal Grant To Help Veteran Families
The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs is awarding a $1.4 million grant to Goodwill Industries of Central Oklahoma.
The grant announced Tuesday is to be used to provide support services to very low-income military veteran families living in or transitioning into permanent housing.
Goodwill plans to work with The City Rescue Mission, The Homeless Alliance, Upward Transitions, Legal Aid Services of Oklahoma, Heartline and Volunteers of America to provide the services. The services are to include housing counseling, vocational training and employment services, personal financial planning, transportation, income support and legal services.
Goodwill expects to provide services to nearly 500 low-income families.

Im sure we'd all like to lower Vinny's cap hit but I doubt Yzerman and this organization really want to lose Vinny and it looks like Ohlund will retire, or at least that's what EE keeps saying.
I agree, and considering it league wide, it seems to make sense. It certainly makes things predictable for the PA since it's already known who is bought out.
Infact, I just did the math, and excluding the numbers for whatever is saved for this season, the league would take off $14,527,444 total. (that number would be split unevenly across the next two years, but I don't know how else to phrase it)
It should at least be an option for the Islanders to get rid of the 4.4mil left for Yashin or Minnesota's $927k for Mark Parrish.
Tampa Bay actually has the 2nd highest buyout hit after the Islanders with Prospal's 2.3m after this season.
Here's the numbers I got:
Carolina - $125k
Columbus - $2,283,332
Dallas - $233,333
Florida - $333,333
Minnesota - $927,778
New Jersey - $1,583,334
Islanders - $4,408,000
Ottawa - $200k
Philadelphia - $100k
Tampa Bay - $2,333,334
Toronto - $2,000,000

B.J. Penn has retired 3 times already. It's never a matter of IF but WHEN he's going to come back. But I think Rory MacDonald has his number. His fight against Condit was something special and that was over a year ago. Think about how much he's improved while B.J. has been smoking up and trying to keep his weight under control.
So BJ Penn didn't stay retired for very long?

What does 'women's leadership' mean?
|June 10, 2013
|Posted by Jenica under conferences, Growly, Leadership, Off Topic
It occurred to me today that the phrase 'women's leadership' might be more challenging than I would have have thought of, in ways I would never have thought of. Put more specifically, to some people it apparently means 'lead like a woman', while to me it means 'lead while being a woman'. I don't know how to have it mean anything else, because I don't think there are things I do particularly well just because I'm a woman. I think I was acculturated to behave in particular ways, and that I've practiced certain skills more than others, and that some […] keep reading…

PARIS, July 24 (Reuters) - France's prime minister on Thursday called for the European Union to do more to help those member states carrying out reforms and reiterated France's views that the euro is overvalued.
"You know I consider that the euro today is too expensive, too strong. To implement the stability pact we need more flexibility ... Europe must do more to accompany the policies carried out by governments," Manuel Valls told RTL radio.
Valls referred in particular to the European Commission's President-elect Jean-Claude Juncker's pledge to present within the first three months of his mandate "a Jobs, Growth and Investment Package" to generate an extra 300 billion euros ($403 billion) in investment over the next three years.
Francois Hollande's government has repeatedly complained this year about the strength of the euro, calling on both the ECB and governments to take action on the currency front to boost growth.
Hollande himself said on Monday it could be hard for France to reach EU fiscal targets next year because of disappointing growth, saying France would use available margins of maneuver if necessary.
In any case, France will not go beyond its 50 billion-euro public spending cut plan for 2015-2017, he said. 1/8D:nL6N0PX37U 3/8
European Union leaders signaled at a summit last month they were ready to be flexible by giving member states extra time to consolidate their budgets as long as they pressed ahead with reforms.

Filmmakers Discuss Hank Cochran Documentary
Hank Cochran was a prolific songwriter, penning hits recorded by artists ranging from Patsy Cline and Burl Ives to Natalie Cole. But Cochran more than just the songs he wrote. And that's what producer Greg Welsch and director Wesley Pryor want to show in their documentary "Livin' For a Song" showing this weekend at the River's Edge International Film Festival in Paducah. The documentary show times are 3 p.m. Friday at the Maiden Alley Cinema and 1 p.m. Saturday at the Market House Studio Theatre.
Whitney Jones spoke with Welsch and Pryor, who are musicians themselves, about their experience making the film with the music legend.
