No Noise Percussions performing during the George Town Festival in Armenian Street on Aug 31, 2014. - CHAN BOON KAI/The Star
It's been a breakout year, says festival director.
THE month-long George Town Festival (GTF) finally came to an end last Sunday, boasting a treasure trove of local and international performances and exhibitions, and festival director Joe Sidek, the man responsible for putting the GTF and Penang on the map of the world, can finally breathe a sigh of relief.
"I feel that this year has been our breakout year. Nearly all of our shows were sold out, we had bumper crowds, we had more events than we've ever staged before, and collaborated with creative groups from across the region and beyond," said Sidek.
Without entangling himself and his tireless team in a set of goals and objectives, Joe kept things flexible.
"My aim every year is to steadily grow the festival, to keep it an open platform that draws local and international talent. In that sense, I think it was a resounding success," said the 55-year-old.
What inspires Joe to keep at it is the relentless support of the local community.
"We've built some staunch supporters over the years, and it's one of the highlights of the festival for me to see familiar local faces coming to all of our shows.
"We've really focused on finding ways to give back to the community, and have introduced programmes like Friends of the Festival.
"I think it's important to see local support as a partnership – we need to find ways of really benefiting the community before we can expect their support," added Joe.
But the man is already looking into the sixth edition of the festival.
"Next year, one of the main challenges which I'm looking forward to tackling is the fact that Dewan Sri Pinang, the only high-capacity performance venue, will be under renovation which means that we really have to think creatively, find new spaces, new partners and artistic solutions to staging the big shows we want," he explained.
The enthusiastic and passionate Joe said last month had been "one of the most exhilarating (and exhausting) of my life and I can't wait to relive it."

CHICAGO – If you can remember the 1990s outside of childhood, you are in the glow of middle age, so congratulations. The Brown Paper Box Co. theater ensemble takes us back to those thrilling days of yesteryear with "Spike Heels," a relationship comedy centering on the co-mingling antics of two couples, with a slight nod toward George Bernard Shaw and the play "Pygmalion" (or its musical counterpart, "My Fair Lady").
John Cusack
Back to the Funny in 'Hot Tub Time Machine 2'
Submitted by PatrickMcD on February 20, 2015 - 5:19amRating: 3.0/5.0 |
CHICAGO – The concept is a hot tub, that also acts as a time machine. It practically writes itself! The too-meticulous plot of "Hot Tub Time Machine 2" still delivers a decent amount of laughs, although most of them fall under the crude and rude category. Better a cheap laugh than no laugh.
Author Remains Elusive in Documentary 'Salinger'
Submitted by PatrickMcD on September 20, 2013 - 9:13amRating: 3.0/5.0 |
CHICAGO – Jerome David Salinger, J.D. to his readers, remains one of the most influential and controversial authors of the 20th Century. Known intuitively for the classic novel "Catcher in the Rye," he also was known as a reclusive soul. His life and times make up the new documentary, "Salinger."
Nicolas Cage, John Cusack Get Buried in 'The Frozen Ground'
Submitted by BrianTT on August 22, 2013 - 10:55amRating: 2.0/5.0 |
CHICAGO – There have been a depressing number of bad career choices on the part of Oscar winner Nicolas Cage and once-great actor John Cusack in recent years. Anyone seen "Seeking Justice," "Stolen," "The Numbers Station," or "The Factory"? Someone owes you an apology.
'The Numbers Station' Feels Made by a Computer
Submitted by BrianTT on April 24, 2013 - 8:12amRating: 2.0/5.0 |
CHICAGO – John Cusack's new spy thriller is so routine, predictable, and dull that they could have called it "By-the-Numbers Station". Too easy? How about "Paint-by-Numbers Station"? OK, I'll stop now before @FakeShalit comes after me.
Nicole Kidman is Unique in Fluttery 'The Paperboy'
Submitted by PatrickMcD on October 5, 2012 - 1:37pmRating: 3.0/5.0 |
CHICAGO – With all the steamy heat, and the thick, gluey southern accents from mostly non-southern actors, the audience for "The Paperboy" might need to wear lawyer-like suspenders and flap a funeral home fan to take it all in. The sweaty new film features Nicole Kidman, Matthew McConaughey and John Cusack, all chewing the scenery.
Edgar Allan Poe Deserves Better Than 'The Raven'
Submitted by BrianTT on April 27, 2012 - 11:33amRating: 1.0/5.0 |
CHICAGO – "The Raven" is such a snooze fest that it could have the disastrous effect of turning young viewers off from actually reading Edgar Allan Poe. Trust me, young readers – nothing by Poe is this generic, dull, boring, or plain stupid. Taking the two hours of your life that it would take to see "The Raven" and reading anything by the man who inspired it would be a smarter use of your time. And you'd be less likely to fall asleep.
John Cusack, Rob Corddry Ride 'Hot Tub Time Machine'

Associated Press= TOLEDO, Ohio (AP) — The mother of three Ohio children who died in a murder-suicide had sought to have them back at her home after their grandmother had been caring for them.
Police say that's when the grandmother snapped, killing the three grandchildren and herself with the help of her 32-year-old son.
Toledo police say the bodies of the five were found Monday in a car, and they may have died of carbon monoxide poisoning. A truck was running with hoses leading from the exhaust into the car.
Authorities are awaiting autopsy results.
Police say letters found at the home indicate it was orchestrated by the grandmother and uncle.
A family disagreement over where the children should live erupted within just the past week, with police and children services workers being asked to intervene.

sail-world.com -- Celebrating 90 years for the M-Class at Auckland Anniversary Regatta
Celebrating 90 years for the M-Class at Auckland Anniversary Regatta
Tue, 15 Jan 2013
The M Class association with the support of Hyundai Motors New Zealand and the Royal Akarana Yacht Club are proud to announce the celebrations for the 90th anniversary of M-Class yacht racing.
The 2012/13 season will mark 90 uninterrupted seasons of racing on Auckland's Waitemata Harbour for the iconic M-Class, affectionately known as the 'Emmy'.
season's first regatta is set for Auckland Anniversary Day, 28 January. This will mark the 90th Year that the Emmies have competed in this regatta, a record for any class.
The official celebration of the anniversary will see a social race from the Royal Akarana Yacht Club at Auckland's Okahu Bay on Saturday, 16 March, with celebrations to follow that evening at the RAYC.
M-Class Association President, Bruce Craies says the yachts were originally designed by Arch Logan, and the Royal New Zealand Yacht Squadron adopted the design in 1922.
'It's a fantastic story of comradeship. I bet it would have never occurred to Arch or the Squadron that these yachts would still be racing in 90 years' time,' he says.
'These 18-foot Kauri clinker boats are one of the few traditional racing yachts that have survived the relentless march of progress. This is testimony to their quality and the fine New Zealand sportsmen committed to the class.
'We'd like to invite all current and previous M-Class sailors, young and old, to get in touch to join us in celebrating this iconic class and the season – and to toast to the future of many more. Interested sailors can register for the events at mclass-yachts.co.nz.' says Mr Craies.
The M Class is one of the last remaining and most popular traditional racing yacht classes.
Hyundai Motors New Zealand General Manager Andy Sinclair says his team is incredibly proud to be involved as sponsor.
'Sailing is an iconic part of summer for many Kiwis and these boats are an integral part of NZ's rich sailing history. Hyundai is happy to support Kiwi's enjoying the water, whether they're sailing competitively, enjoying a hobby or simply appreciating the open air' says Mr Sinclair.
For more information on the 2012/13 M-Class regattas and the official celebration of the 90th anniversary visit mclass-yachts.co.nz.

Cramer Quick Take: What to Expect for Amazon
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- The busy week of earnings continues Thursday with Amazon (AMZN - Get Report) set to report after the close.
Jim Cramer of TheStreet told "Mad Money" Research Director Nicole Urken the online retailer has been a pretty controversial stock for quite some time. Many fundamental investors continue to attack the valuation, suggesting that the price is not justified.
However, Cramer refers to Amazon as a "cult stock," which essentially excludes it from the normal valuations and boundaries by which most stocks are measured.
Even though eBay (EBAY), which sold off after reporting earnings last week, is a competitor to Amazon, investors shouldn't expect the same thing to happen.
"eBay shot themselves in the foot," he said, because the company talked about too many negatives, such as currency headwinds and European woes. Instead, Amazon only gives investors the bare bones, telling investors what they need to know and harping on the future and building out infrastructure. Cramer also added that people buy Amazon stock because they use the service. However, this is different from stocks such as Apple (AAPL), which has product constraints and a lot of competition. Cramer's charitable trust, Action Alerts Plus, has positions in EBAY and AAPL. -- Written by Bret Kenwell in Petoskey, Mich. Follow @BretKenwellCheck Out Our Best Services for Investors

Several surprises in this listing of most data savvy sports teams in the annual analytics issue of ESPN Magazine
VentureBeat discusses what to expect in Barcelona this week – the next billion smartphones, 5G. Mobile pays, next-gen chips, and Samsunng's next-gen products.
During two rounds of judging, science and visualization experts at the National Science Foundation and Popular Science winnowed 303 entries to 50 finalists, 10 in each category. To arrive at the Experts' Choice, a panel of final-round judges rated the visualizations on their artistic merit and communication excellence. Readers voted online for the People's Choice. Each of the winners was vetted for accuracy by independent experts.
In September, Novartis Chairman Joerg Reinhardt announced the company's new commitment to aging research. "Over the long term, one could argue that R&D productivity has relentlessly declined," he said in a keynote at a drug development conference in Basel, Switzerland. Aging represents a fertile field of discovery: Identifying the pathways and proteins associated with aging could yield promising drug targets, he said. By tweaking the right pathways, researchers could theoretically prevent a host of age-related diseases. Novartis is not alone in this: Chicago-based AbbVie has complete a $750 million partnership with Calico, an aging-research venture founded by Google.
Rapamycin isn't the only widely used medication that's turning out to have possible anti-aging properties. Millions of diabetics take a drug called metformin, which has been around for decades. Like rapamycin, metformin extended the life of federally funded mice in a clinical trial. And there is evidence that it might do the same for people. Diabetes typically shaves about five years off a person's life. But a large retrospective analysis found that diabetics on metformin had a 15 percent lower mortality rate than nondiabetic patients in the same doctors' offices. "To me that suggests that it's actually targeting aging," says Kennedy.

Apple® today announced a €1.7 billion plan to build and operate two data centres in Europe, each powered by 100 percent renewable energy. The facilities, located in County Galway, Ireland (see artist impression below) and Denmark's central Jutland, will power Apple's online services including the iTunes Store®, App Store℠, iMessage®, Maps and Siri® for customers across Europe.
The two data centres, each measuring 166,000 square metres, are expected to begin operations in 2017 and include designs with additional benefits for their communities. For the project in Athenry, Ireland, Apple will recover land previously used for growing and harvesting non-native trees and restore native trees to Derrydonnell Forest. The project will also provide an outdoor education space for local schools, as well as a walking trail for the community.
In Viborg, Denmark, Apple will eliminate the need for additional generators by locating the data centre adjacent to one of Denmark's largest electrical substations. The facility is also designed to capture excess heat from equipment inside the facility and conduct it into the district heating system to help warm homes in the neighboring community.
If so, don't bother with the Wired Sex Science issue. But your inner geek may be curious.
When viewers tune into the Academy Awards Sunday, they can be forgiven for thinking the swelling music is coming from an orchestra hidden somewhere inside the 3,400-seat Dolby Theatre. The truth is a little less glamorous - they are a mile away, playing live at Capitol Records.
The sound is then piped through fiber optic cables back to the theater - in only 2.7 milliseconds.
"We just keep trying to get that latency down as close to zero, so that performers can hear exactly what the orchestra's doing and the orchestra can respond,"
"The most requested thing that kids have wanted to do with Barbie, and Mattel's done unbelievable amounts of research over the course of decades, is to talk to Barbie," says ToyTalk CEO Oren Jacob, Pixar's former CTO, who worked at the groundbreaking animation company for 20 years. "That's the number one request over all demographics, over all geographies, of all time. For the first time we're doing that for real now."
Yet it's equally hard to overstate how dramatically the hyperloop could change the world. The first four modes of modern transportation–boats, trains, motor vehicles and airplanes–brought progress and prosperity. They also brought pollution, congestion, delay and death. The hyperloop, which Musk dubs "the fifth mode," would be as fast as a plane, cheaper than a train and continuously available in any weather while emitting no carbon from the tailpipe. If people could get from Los Angeles to Las Vegas in 20 minutes, or New York to Philly in 10, cities become metro stops and borders evaporate, along with housing price imbalances and overcrowding.
The only thing this geek fantasy is missing: Musk. With his hands full simultaneously running Tesla Motors and SpaceX, he's left it to others to make his theory a reality. He declined to comment for this story. But his fingerprints are on each of the groups vying to build the hyperloop, even though they couldn't be more different.
It wasn't long ago that the idea of a pre-IPO tech startup with a $1 billion market value was a fantasy. Google was never worth $1 billion as a private company. Neither was Amazon nor any other alumnus of the original dotcom class.
Today the technology industry is crowded with billion-dollar startups. When Cowboy Ventures founder Aileen Lee coined the term unicorn as a label for such corporate creatures in a November 2013 TechCrunch blog post, just 39 of the past decade's VC-backed U.S. software startups had topped the $1 billion valuation mark. Now, casting a wider net, Fortune counts more than 80 startups that have been valued at $1 billion or more by venture capitalists (full list here). And given that these companies are privately held, a few are sure to have escaped our detection. The rise of the unicorn has occurred rapidly and without much warning, and it's starting to freak some people out.

Nice McKinsey interview with Lorraine Twohill, Google's senior vice president of global marketing
"The way I think about marketing—and the way I tend to talk to my team about it—is "knowing the user, knowing the magic, and connecting the two." Knowing the user means understanding who your consumers are, who your customers are. Not just knowing who they are, but what they need, what are their deep insights, and understanding how we can help them. Knowing the magic means knowing what's in the hearts and minds of your engineers and your product managers, and what they're building. Connecting the two means bringing the magic built by engineers to the world in a way that is relevant, meaningful, and compelling to the everyday consumer. So we create something that the world will be excited about."

"Daytona Rising is a $400 million reimagining of an American icon – Daytona International Speedway.
Five expanded and redesigned entrances, or "injectors," will lead fans to a series of escalators and elevators, transporting them to three different concourse levels. Each level features spacious social areas, or "neighborhoods," along the nearly mile-long frontstretch.
At the conclusion of the redevelopment, Daytona International Speedway will have approximately 101,000 permanent, wider and more comfortable seats, twice as many restrooms and three times as many concession stands. In addition, the Speedway will feature over 60 luxury suites with track side views and a completely revamped hospitality experience for corporate guests.
The project officially broke ground in early July, 2013 and is expected to be completed in time for the 2016 Rolex 24 At Daytona and DAYTONA 500."

Good friend Troy Angrignon has an excellent analysis and a large photo gallery of wearable technology he saw in Vegas at CES in January.
Troy, who describes himself as Entrepreneur, Athlete, Adventurer, brings the credibility of having watched these devices evolve over years and the field testing he does with the very athletic lifestyle he leads
"Some patterns clearly emerged in the wearable sector, which I'll outline below in more detail. But in short, here they are:
The WSJ has a nice spread on how to learn to play golf, to code, to ski downhill, to learn a new language, and to sing.
Carroll's book, The Nurnberg Funnel, outlined a new philosophy. Instead of focusing on the needs and values of the system designers, it shifted attention onto the end-user, the secretary in the office who needs to hyphenate a compound word.
Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak, among others, quickly adopted a similar approach and more would soon follow. Writing a manual from a minimalist point of view, Carroll says, proved enormously successful because it harnessed the true source of all learning—active engagement. Short, succinct manuals allow the user to dive into many different tasks and to accomplish them quickly, thereby gaining a sense of control and autonomy that inspires further learning. "Skeptics would say we weren't providing the user with any theoretical foundation," Carroll says, "but we found that people got through their initial learning faster, and that later on, when they needed to learn more complex tasks, the users were also better at doing that, too."
It is remarkable how our cars have evolved in the last decade, and the rate of change is only accelerating
The antenna can now pick up satellite signals and many of the old radio formats, and is much more discreet, even sleek looking
The rear view mirror is for way more than applying lipstick
The key has grown much fatter
The sunroof lets in lots more sunshine
The service documentation is now an email sent by your car
The AAA guide and map is a lot less useful these days
The butt is way more pampered these days
The tire pressure gauge looks way different
The latest weapon in the luxury high-rise arms race: a private pool in every unit on every floor. At ONE KL, a 35-story luxury building in Kuala Lumpur completed in 2009, the building's tagline boasts, "94 Apartments, 95 Swimming Pools." In the Bahamas, each of the 34 units at Honeycomb, a condominium with a hexagonal-patterned facade that's expected to be completed in mid-2016, will have a 70-square-foot pool with a transparent edge, offering views of the marina and ocean. And in Mumbai, 30 stories of about 100 residential units at Bandra Ohm will include crescent-shaped pools on balconies enclosed in acrylic, the same material used for large aquariums.
In several of my books I have brought out why innovators need to think multiple releases ahead because competitors catch up rapidly with ubiquitous access to technology. This week, the fleeting advantage from technology was in vivid display at the Hyundai dealer.
My family tends to be "value" shoppers when it comes to cars. Our vehicles tend to average 7 to 8 years and 80,000 to 100,000 miles. Our Vera Cruz SUV was approaching that EOL and the dealer called me to offer a very generous trade-in. I expected to walk out with the base model of the replacement Santa Fe – my technophobe wife would have preferred that. Instead I got a model chockfull of technology. What's remarkable is the vehicle for about $ 30K packs features which just a couple of years ago were only available on Mercedes, Lexus, BMW, Tesla models at twice or three times the price.
Panoramic sunroof
Proximity sensors for auto tailgate open and for blind spot detection
Touch screen for all kinds of navigation, communication, rear view and entertainment options
Mobile app to control access to car, monitor whereabouts etc.
Next-gen rear view mirror
HID Xenon headlights with LED accents
And some of the features are available even on Hyundai's smaller cars for $15K.
And as you look around there is so much more technology in the form of electric options, autonomous driving, mobile hotspots and more that our new SUV is already dated.
A handful of companies, including film producers, have gotten waivers from the FAA to use drones for commercial purposes. But the filmmakers, for instance, must notify the FAA three days in advance, only film on a closed set and obtain permission from nearby people.
Such restrictions wouldn't make sense for covering breaking news, said CNN Senior Vice President David Vigilante. The network is proposing a different approach, such as regulations similar to those for helicopters, "so it allows us the flexibility to deal with breaking news," he said.
CNN is testing a range of drone types, from the hobbyist models that many people got for Christmas to powerful pieces of machinery that could carry a glass lens camera and transmit high-definition video, he said. The TV network plans to share its findings with the FAA over the next 12 to 24 months.
I am more of a dog person, but I saw a fascinating cat program on PBS last night. With GPS chips and night vision cameras around their necks and elaborate data visualization technologies, 50 cats share their nocturnal habits, and their tribal and social behaviors.

It's a fair summary of Nike's annual challenge—to unveil a new shoe that promises more agility, more durability, and, somehow, more LeBron. The company does its job well: This year, James's shoe will bring in $300 million in U.S. revenue, according to SportsOneSource. So as Nike releases the newest model, the LeBron 12, its team dishes on how it designs in collaboration—and keeps fresh a very important, very visible 12-year relationship.
While many have highlighted Apple Watch's payments software and health-monitoring capabilities, its ability to connect us to what our phones already know about where we are and what we're doing—augmenting our reality with a new layer of data—makes me think it could bring about profound behavioral change in its users. As Apple illustrated with the iPhone, it's changes in what we find it easy and enjoyable to do that beget changes in our habits and social norms. And those are the shifts that create real opportunities for the next billion-dollar startup.
Dash, a pair of waterproof, wireless earbuds, can play music from its own hard drive or streamed from another device. It can also make phone calls and track the wearer's fitness.
Electronic House has a list of technologies including the Epson projector and speakers
"If you think that 65-inch Samsung TV is big, then imagine what you could do with this Epson Home Cinema 3500 LCD projector. It can work either for permanent installation, or just bring it out on special occasions and aim it at a temporary screen or a white wall. It includes built-in speakers, so all you need to do is hook it up to your TV box. With 2,500 lumens of brightness, it will light up any football party."

Even better is the support Silicon Valley is showing for the movie which depicts the origins of the modern day computer and the math and science which has helped our industry evolve. The ad above shows quips from various tech executives, not movie critics.

Ellis says it was a controversial decision to run it early, even among the ad agency and VW's marketing team. "But I thought if everything goes right, this thing will catch fire and go viral," he says.
By 8 a.m. Thursday, "The Force" had been viewed 1.8 million times on YouTube and had racked up 17 million views before kickoff, according to figures provided by Deutsch. Today, "The Force" has 61 million views on YouTube and is still the most shared Super Bowl ad of all-time and the second most shared TV commercial ever.

"Come this spring, expect the start of the same kind of interest and attention for Tampa's combined Gasparilla festivals, including the debut of the Gasparilla Interactive Festival.

Royal Caribbean in April will debut the 4,180-passenger Anthem of the Seas, a sister to the much-ballyhooed, two-month-old Quantum of the Seas. Norwegian follows in October with the 4,200-passenger Norwegian Escape (below) -- its largest ship ever. Also debuting this year is the 930-passenger Viking Star, the first ocean ship for river cruise giant Viking. And the transformation of upscale adventure line Ponant continues with the arrival of its fourth new vessel in five years: the 244-passenger Le Lyrial.
A Delta pilot sitting next to me yesterday gave me a tour of the navigation and other apps on his standard issue Microsoft Surface. It was the proverbial cherry on a fortnight of a technology dessert I have experienced on Delta 717-200s, 737-900s, 767-400s and its terminals.
Pleasantly on the flight to Spain, the GoGo wifi was available across much of the Atlantic. Soon many international flights will support connectivity.
With the connectivity, the entertainment options on your mobile device via Delta Connect have expanded exponentially.
Most planes now offer power outlets and USB ports
The self service options at airports have grown significantly to include iPads to order meals, to change flights and even expedite immigration processing via the Automated Passport Control kiosk
The Delta mobile app besides allowing all kinds of seat selection, check in, flight notifications also has useful features like tracking your bags and storing details of your car parking space.

The grocery business is plagued by notoriously slim margins. The trade group Food Marketing Institute estimates the supermarket industry as a whole turned in a 1.3% net profit after taxes in 2013 on $620 billion in sales.
Those numbers haven't stopped venture capitalists like Mr. Mortiz from taking a chance again. "After our experiences with Webvan and the electroshock therapy we needed, none of us thought we'd venture ever again into the grocery business," said Mr. Moritz, who sits on Instacart's board. "The one thing we were very right about is that if there is an easy and reliable way to order groceries from home, the demand will be insatiable."
I have been excerpting here from the book's case studies. They profile 12 strategies across four groupings of customers A) Un-adopters B) Diversifiers C) Pragmatists and D) Committed.
The customer profiled below is part of the third group which has four strategies in the book:
When I heard about Project Slingshot at British Gas, and SAP's role in it, I was eager to profile it in the book. There are so many unique aspects to the project; CRM, industry extensions, the Internet of Things, a systems integrator who delivers on budget — many of which are elusive to find these days in the SAP roadmap where most recent focus has gone to HANA projects. So, I pursued an interview with Cooper, even delaying the release of the book to include his comments. What I expected was an enthusiastic analysis of the project — instead I got a flattering commentary on the outcomes based performance by the systems integrator, Cognizant, but also questions about SAP's direction.
Such problems are common with "over customization" of the SAP software. They also reflected SAP's functional immaturity in this industry vertical, when the project was started over a decade ago. Given this track record in the B2C segment, and that a previous B2B implementation had stalled for a number of years, a different approach was called for. Having come from the telecom industry where SAP has not been a significant industry vendor, Cooper evaluated his options for Slingshot with an open mind. He says he decided to stay with SAP because it was the least-costly option providing the project stuck with
out-of-the-box functionality.
Besides the Red Hat investment, Cooper is a big believer in other open-source software and commodity platforms. From a Big Data perspective, British Gas has a significant commitment to Apache Hadoop. He also likes to use commodity hardware as it is easily swappable and scalable in the form of low-cost servers. The proprietary SAP appliance hardware from its partners around HANA goes against that philosophy. British Gas has evaluated HANA and thinks it is fine for speedier queries. In order to replace its Oracle database, however, HANA would have to match resilience and disaster recovery thresholds needed for heavy transaction processing. When considering the business case for HANA, the years of experience in the team working with the Oracle database and the cost of retraining need to be considered. His conclusion so far
is — British Gas does not have a burning performance problem today to justify the risks of moving to HANA as a transaction engine.
FanDuel paid out more than $500 million in winnings in 2014 and took in $50 million in fees. This year Eccles expects to pay out more than $1 billion, which translates into $100 million in revenue (and a $1 billion valuation using the multiple analysts apply to the industry). FanDuel currently has about 75% of the daily fantasy market and has the most liquidity, allowing it to offer the biggest payouts and cheapest fees.
Over the next few weeks I am excerpting here from the book's case studies. They profile 12 strategies across four groupings of customers A) Un-adopters B) Diversifiers C) Pragmatists and D) Committed.
The customer profiled below is part of the second group which has four strategies in the book:
According to Martin-Festa, while the consolidation of ERP systems continues in parallel — Schneider Electric is consolidating into a "federation" of 11 ERP instances, most of them SAP-based — the real value is from the sales, inventory, operations, and planning (SIOP) tools on top of these ERP transaction feeders. 'We get an end-to-end view with Kinaxis, the planning vendor we have partnered with," says Martin-Festa. "That
allows collaboration and connectivity all the way from key customers to critical suppliers."
By all accounts, the rollout has progressed well. By the middle of 2014, as Figure 2 shows, collaborative sales forecasts were available for nine countries, distribution planning across 57 distribution centers, and manufacturing planning across five plants. Clayton has shared, at industry events, some of the early returns on investment, including €778,000 of excess inventory in Russia that has been
turned into extra revenue and a significant reduction of inventory levels in Saudi Arabia.
It's particularly hot among universities in the Tampa Bay area. Consider:
♦ The University of Tampa has announced it will begin offering an undergraduate major in cybersecurity this fall.
♦ Saint Leo University launched a master's program in cybersecurity in August, complementing its undergraduate program in information assurance and security.
♦ The brand new Florida Polytechnic University in Lakeland has a concentration in information assurance and cybersecurity in its computer science and information technology degree track.
♦ Last year, buoyed by a $5 million allocation from the Legislature, the Florida Cybersecurity Center, or FC², opened on the campus of USF, acting as a statewide clearinghouse to share knowledge, resources and training among the state's 12 public universities.

The customer profiled below is part of the third group which has four strategies in the book:
"We have the best product in the market. Now we have to also make our interface with our customers the easiest," says Jeff Robertson, CIO of DigitalGlobe, a leading provider of earth imagery solutions. Its portfolio includes information products derived from imagery, geospatial analytic software, and expert services that derive insight from the imagery.
DigitalGlobe brought in a consulting firm earlier this year to see if the SAP customizations could be reversed by moving to more out-of-the-box functionality that has since been delivered by SAP. It also helped evaluate if the new SAP UX of Fiori and Personas could be leveraged to improve the user experience.
By starting with the customer first, DigitalGlobe is relooking at all of the core lead-to-order processes. A customer advisory board is helping to define the next generation interactions with the company. In addition, DigitalGlobe is leveraging a more agile, rapid, prototyping approach. Rather than defi ning the entire end-to-end experience in detail, the team is quickly configuring and defining new experiences.
It is another example of a pragmatic customer who did not just take SAP's talk of Fiori UX at face value — especially when SAP expected customers to pay a premium for it
After all, it's one thing to participate in the so-called sharing economy by pushing some buttons on your phone and watching a sleek black Uber vehicle roll up. It's another to show up at a stranger's home and nestle in for a few days--or hand your house keys to some guy from the internet.
And yet the founders of Airbnb--Brian Chesky, 33; Nathan Blecharczyk, 31; and Joe Gebbia, 33--have convinced many, many strangers to do just that. So far, about 20 million of them; 10 million in 2014 alone. This year, their website surpassed 800,000 listings worldwide, which means they now offer more lodging than Hilton Worldwide or InterContinental Hotels Group or any other hotel chain in the world.

The customers profiled below are part of the second group which has four strategies in the book:
In the 1980s, as AS/400s and LANs matured, many multinationals adopted two- or three-tier application strategies — a mainframe-based application for corporate and domestic subsidiaries and regional hubs, with decentralized versions for international subsidiaries. J.D. Edwards (now part of Oracle), Platinum (now Epicor), Sage, and other vendors were beneficiaries of such tiering. Things have evolved quite a bit since — now companies can go with SaaS systems for smaller subsidiaries, and as a result not even need local IT support.
Procter & Gamble, a major SAP shop, rolled out NetSuite to its major distributors in the Philippines. Conversely, ABS-CBN Global, a Filipino company, kept SAP at its headquarters, but adopted NetSuite for global operations.
Lexmark is a major SAP customer using BusinessObjects, HANA and many other SAP products. It is also an SAP partner helping its customers with print solutions. In 2010, it acquired Perceptive Software, a leading
provider of Enterprise Content Management solutions. Perceptive was using, and has continued to use Professional Services Automation functionality from FinancialForce.
The Würth Group, a German distributor of a variety of furniture and construction fittings, has more than three million customers across 400 subsidiaries in over 80 countries with global revenues of over €10 billion. The Würth Phoenix Group, the company's IT sub, developed Trade+, a template based on Microsoft Dynamics AX with customized inventory functionality and reporting. The template has been deployed in 65 of those subsidiaries so far (55 running AX, ten running CRM). The distributed architecture allows efficient local handling of low-value, high-volume customer orders with centralized finance and materials management on the SAP system in Germany. The CIO has asserted that they now can "integrate new businesses into the group practically at the touch of a button."

Norman Long is a high school loner, a self-aware and darkly funny teen who's just trying to handle his daily existence. In the wake of his mother's sudden death, Norman must now also deal with the reality that his father is starting to lose his battle with stomach cancer.
Norman, depressed and angry, unintentionally gets caught in a lie that he, in fact, has stomach cancer. Soon his complete distortion of the facts spirals out of control. Part coping mechanism, partially as a way to feel closer to his father, and to a certain degree to prepare others for his possible suicide, Norman begins to imitate his father's debilitating physical symptoms, dramatically affecting his life and the world around him.
Emily, a magnetic girl with one of those rare enchanting smiles, gets caught up in Norman's fabrication and struggles with her deep rooted romantic feelings in the face of Norman's "impending" death. Ultimately, Norman must confront a burning set of conflicting emotions as he struggles to define his relationship with his father, his love for Emily, and ultimately who he will be as a young man.

OUR FEARLESS leader
Meet the irreverent and slightly jaded mind behind the bobs, our fearless leader, Julie. Since starting eyebobs in 2001, Julie has parlayed her unique style, business savy and brassy 'tude into the company you know today. She's come a long way since her first job, detasseling corn in Iowa! In addition to designing frames for the hippest reader needers around, Julie's favorite things about running eyebobs are problem solving and working with our crew of loveable maniacs.
While attending to all her Presidential responsibilities, Julie sports a rotation of all her personal favorite designs. But which bobs would she claim as her signature look? One of the most distinctive of all her creations, the delightfully quirky Square Root. But don't let the name fool you, folks - she's no square!
Even Moguls Take Vacation
When she isn't here at eyebobs, you'll likely find Julie racking up frequent flier miles while traveling the globe. Her love of travel began early on – she spent her junior year of high school studying in South Africa. But with all her world travels, it seems all roads lead back to eyebobs. And you'll always find Julie dragging an overstuffed suitcase full of inspiration behind her. Seriously, if you see her at baggage claim, don't just stand there…..give her a hand!

Its a shame people don't trust Police Officers. It's not "ALL" Officer's but The Timillicky Trio sure has made it look this way. When ever we are given a black eye it reflects on everyone wearing a badge. 3 Cop's do something stupid all of us look silly then you get people like Guest12 not trusting us. Just Upsets me...I just so happen to know several Officers That would do awesome running the Leland Police Department. Me?????? Nah!!! I'm usually busy being hilarious. Hang in there everyone I promise there truly are some really good Cops out there. After we get rid of the bad ones all will be just fine....And Please believe me Sheriff Ingram is a great guy, again give him a break. Say's who? Say's Kblue! »

Guess againSubmitted by Commonsensenotc... on Mon, 11/23/2009 - 2:19pm.
The main reason not to hire overqualified candidates is that the minute a better, higher paying job in their area of expertise is offered, they are gone. That's exactly why college graduates find it difficult to get hired into non-management, entry-level positions at places such as Wal-Mart and McDonalds.
You invest in a new employee with uniforms and training and are too oftenrewarded with a two-week notice.
If you need a ditch digger, hire the best, most experienced ditch digger you can find. DON'T hire the guy who designed the backhoe he'll be using. He won't be around long.

It looks good against a dark colored tshirt but is not a real high quality. He will wear it because I gave it to him but I doubt we would have bought it if we actually saw it in a store.
I work with a number of Marine groups and all the guys have noticed my new piece. It is the right length and weight for my needs, plus it looks good.
Beautiful necklace and very good price. Overstock ships very quickly!
I wanted to give my son something special he could take with him on his first deployment coming up in April. This necklace was the perfect gift. He loved it an I'm sure will cherish it. For the price I paid it was such a great deal, the chain was a lot bigger than I expected but that was a great thing. I would highly recommend this to anyone who was looking for a special gift for that marine.

Chicago 16
Follow Me (James Pankow And David Foster)
One shoe on; one shoe off.
Nothin' in life is decideable; wouldn't you know.
Nothing's supposed to be easy.
Take one day at a time. Ain't no need to hurry.
Realize where you are, and where you're going to.
Follow me, ain't no need to go on all by yourself.
Follow me; don't need nobody else.
Follow me; and together we'll build a better life.
Follow me.
One more time; toe the line;
Nothing in life is impossible. Both of us know
Life is as good as we make it.
Dark reflections of the past
Drown in our tomorrows.
Time to laugh; time to love;
Time to live again.
Time to laugh; time to live again.
