Vote could be start of transit system for all of DFW
A single regionwide bus and rail system is closer then ever.
Can more Dallas-and-Fort Worth teamwork be far behind?
Separated by a 30-minute drive but light-years in attitude, Fort Worth and Dallas have begun to talk lately about sharing more than an airport -- not only to save money but also to make money.
The Dallas Area Rapid Transit board's vote Tuesday to consider selling bus service to Arlington might eventually pave the way for what we now know Tarrant County desperately needs: a regional transit system tying both counties seamlessly together.
If Fort Worth and Arlington aren't an easy ride from Dallas, then future Super Bowls, conventions and a possible Olympic Games will bypass our cities completely or -- like the Final Four basketball championships next year -- rely on connected Dallas sites and bus to Arlington only for the stadium event.
Sure, we share the Trinity Railway Express and plans for TEX Rail. But that's not enough.
If Tarrant County leaders haven't already gotten the message that we've been left behind, it's as plain as the new signs at Dallas/Fort Worth Airport.
Giant signs on the luggage carousels point "To DART" -- "New DART Service."
Arriving passengers get directions only to Dallas.
They don't see a way to get to Fort Worth or Arlington.
That isn't the only reason the Fort Worth City Council overhauled the city transit agency, but it's definitely one reason the T's legacy bus-company mindset had to give way to rail-minded leadership.
DART opened a door to regional partnership last year by selling contract express bus service to Mesquite, charging the city a flat $300,000 a year instead of demanding a share of city sales tax.
A possible contract with Arlington would cost $700,000 for DART service between College Park and the far east Fort Worth CentrePort rail station. Both Mesquite and Arlington would be asked for a sales tax or other long-term commitment later.
Nobody is ready to say whether DART might someday take over Fort Worth's private contract to operate the T. (Fort Worth's current contract is with French-owned McDonald Transit, which has run the local agency for 42 years.)
But a DART deal with Arlington would be a start.
We're already running late.

Show us your gardens - a photo thread - April 2012
This is a place to post photos, and to discuss, what is in your garden. This is the thread for April 2012. Since Spring has arrived, we will be focusing on blossoms. If the thread starts getting to picture heavy, I will create an April Part II thread later in the month.
Here is a link to last years April 2011 Thread
For Previous Threads from 2012:
To see all of the 2011 threads, please click on the December 2011 link. The first post will have links to all previous months.
It seems like the gardens sputtered to life back in March, but have now run out of steam. Not much new blooming these days.
Grecian Wind Flower - About 4 years ago I planted 6 clumps at the edge of my white garden. This is the only clump that has survived. Not sure why the others did not survive.
My first tulips have bloomed. I bought these as purisima - a pure white tulip. But they turned out to be yellow and were promptly relocated out of the white garden!
Jonquils - dug from my grandmothers house. She always called them jonquils. I like them because they are a shorter variety - only about 8-10" tall.
Lastly, the white garden is coming to life. Rock Cress blooming in the front with hyacinths in back. Late daffodils and tulips also in the back ready to bloom. Lillies, Dicentra and Yarrow poking out of the ground. And garlic chives and white muscari poking out to make short borders towards the front.
Here on the sluggish coast we didn't really get started on Spring #1. By the time the garden opened one eye and looked around and yawned, it had turned cold again and the plants pulled the mulch back over their heads.
Forsythia are finally blooming now, not quite full, and Spring #2 seems to have started.
Scilla sibirica is mostly in full bloom, but some spots still coming up. Here the iris sprouts look hopeful.
Various daffodils in bloom - this is N. Toby the First, an early bloomer and planted (by me) in an unfortunate spot. I can't really see them until I cut back the ornamental grasses, and even then they face the wrong direction (by my viewpoint). A short daffodil, and I needed the movable LCD screen to get this angle.
Hellebore 'Green Heron' opened a few more buds.
The fuzzy pussy willows buds are opening to their frothy yellow flowers. So far the squirrels don't seem to have noticed. Last year they decimated these flowers.
Claire - that azalea is gorgeous.
It's blue season in the garden. Muscari, periwinkle and pulmonaria.
Something has eaten my lillies. Due to the size of the "chomp", I'm suspecting deer. However we have a deer deterrent outside. And the lillies were right next to tulips, which tend to be the preferred food of deer. The lillies were chomped but the tulips remain untouched. Hmmmm. . .
Either Deer or Rabbits, Claire. Try some Bobex. The idea is to get them to go to the neighbor's yard.
Opening Day for the Red Sox! The Hosta decided to open up as well today. Here's a few pics.
Hosta Sagae with King Alfred Daffodils
Hosta Sweet Innocence with Darwin Hybrid Tulip Ivory Floradale in the background.
More pics on the Hosta forum if you like these. Go Sox.
Still slower than other gardens, but progressing.
The squirrels haven't bothered the pussy willow this year, and the frothy yellow flowers are mostly all blooming. This smallish tree (maybe 20 feet tall?) has never been pruned but could almost be considered a specimen tree if carefully maintained. At least for early spring.
Epimediums are just beginning to bloom.
E. 'Warlayense'
E. 'Sulphureum' with a no-id hosta and scillas behind it.
And the wisteria buds are beginning to show! and I can smell them!. I just sprayed the wisteria with Repellex, a product I've never used before that is supposed to repel squirrels without damaging anything or anybody. I hate when the squirrels eat the wisteria buds.
A wisteria seed pod leftover from last year.
Viburnum are blooming...
Viburnum carlesii (could be 'Aurora', but I think it's V. carlesii.)
Viburnum 'Mohawk'
Narcissus 'Decoy'
This Narcissus had me thinking I was shipped the wrong cultivar. Both of these are Narcissus 'Fidelity'. They open a clear yellow and pure white but age to a peach corona with pale yellow perianth.
Lewisia Rainbow Mix --just bought this at the Farmer's Daughter and it's still in the pot. The flowers seem to glow from within.
Great photos. I particularly like the viburnums. When I see those pics I remember the fragrance. What camera do you use to get that close?
Here's a few of my garden this morning.
I bought Malus 'Candy Cane' from Weston Nurseries about 20 years ago. They no longer have it and neither does anyone else. Eight years ago when I moved I dug up a sucker from the plant and put it in my new yard. It looks very similar to the original with the semi-weeping habit that attracted me to it at first.
Here is a close up of the flowers.
Tulip Angelique
This Azalea is a NOID to me. It was on the property. Green foliage that bronzes up in the winter.
Hosta Touch of Class. Looks like temps got below the dewpoint last night.
A NOID Narcissus. Maybe Pheasant Eye. I was sent the wrong daffs last year.
The Dogwoods are out now in Central Mass.
A lot of the Hosta are still emerging. This is Frances Williams. Tends to be slow.
This is Sagae. I love the way this one looks when it emerges.
This one is Liberty. If you don't have it, what are you waiting for.
Hi Steve,
Love your photos! Malus 'Candy Cane' is gorgeous!
I use a Sony Cybershot H20. It's really just a point and shoot (set on Auto). I just try to hold still and not breathe. It does quite well on macro shots.
I have a number of different fragrant Viburnum, and the scent has been wafting in the open windows at night. We fall asleep and awaken to the scent. Mmmmm.
I've anxiously been awaiting my Lunaria to bloom. Didn't really notice that this particular plant didn't quite have the right shaped leaves. But I've been nurturing the plant anyway, and you can see the beautiful wood chips I carefully placed around the plant. What a surprise when it bloomed today and I realized it is garlic mustard.
It now resides in my trash barrel. Wasn't going to risk the compost pile or brush pile for this. I walked the rest of the gardens today and I don't see any more garlic mustard anywhere. So hopefully this will be an easy eradication.
Thank you for posting this, pixie. I have three of these little beauties this year and did not know what they are much less about their invasive behavior. Out they go. Interesting and edible, but I don't want a field of them. Thanks.
Jane (who still wants a pond)
Here's what was blooming this morning for me...
Jacob's Ladder
Tulips still going strong
Vinca Minor
Fluffy blanket of creeping phlox
So many things just starting to happen... can't wait for next month's thread! :)
A couple more....
I love this shot of Narcissus 'Lemon Beauty', but I cut a little off the top. Too bad.
'Fragrant Rose'
This is Daphne 'Eternal Fragrance'. I also have two other Daphne caucasica (or x transatlantica, if you prefer). One with lighter green leaves, and D. 'Summer Ice' with variegated leaves. I love them all, but this one has very shiny dark green leaves. The others aren't shiny at all. They all bloom all Spring, Summer, and Fall and are never without some flowers.
Muscari 'Valerie Finnis'. A light blue grape hyacinth.
My husband's weeping cherry (with bird feeders)
All sorts of lovelies above!
My coastal garden is slow, as usual, but today (a gray, gloomy day) I see:
Dicentra 'Gold Heart' in a bed of mostly Geranium 'Biokovo' with a few wild strawberries thrown in (maybe Fragaria virginiana).
Narcissus 'Thalia' in a woodsy setting, with Pinus strobus 'Louie' and lots of ivy. Later on the hostas will elbow the ivy aside.
Little Narcissus 'Hawera', unassuming but endearing.
And the first wild strawberry flowers. I occasionally see strawberries, but the critters usually see them first (it's an advantage if your eyes are closer to the ground).
We got 3 inches of rain over the past two days. The Hosta absolutely loved it and have just popped out of the ground. Here's a couple of pics.
Sum and Substance with a gold Spirea
Piedmont Gold with a NOID Azalea
H. Thank You on the rocks
Spilt Milk (Mildred Seaver from Needham introduced this plant).
My gardens are really thriving from this weekends rain.
Leslie - would it be possible to post a photo of the whole viburnum? I'm not familiar with the plant at all - so I'm wondering what the whole plant looks like.
Foam Flower was a recent addition. It's a native species. The flowers gained about 6" in height during this rain!
A close up of the Dicentra behind the Foam Flower.
Azalea - no ID. The bright pink of the blossoms faded in the rain.
I'm probably one of the few people who actually love Ajuga. It stays green in the lawn - all winter and thru droughts!
My newly mulched border gardens are filling out nicely. Tulips, violets and Dicentra are currenly in bloom. Lots of foliage from daylilly, rose campion, motherwort, fever few, columbine, shasta daisy, rudbeckia.
I love ajuga too, pixie_lou. In fact, there's one small patch of lawn where I'm trying to encourage the ajuga to take over. We don't need to walk on it, and it's a nuisance to mow (no picture).
Narcissus 'Sir Winston Churchill' bounced back from the pelting rain.
Other people have shown pictures of Narcissus 'Fragrant Rose', but I like the combination of 'Fragrant Rose' and Azalea 'Hino Crimson'.
The azalea is about 1/3 to 1/2 blooming now, which is the stage of several of my earliest azaleas. This is one I inherited.
I saw my first hummingbird today - maybe the red/orange azaleas attracted it.
Gelsemium and Lithodora at peak now.
Gelsemium sempervirens 'Margarita' is really putting on a show now! And it's evergreen and hardy in zone 6. What more can we ask of a vine?
Lithodora 'Heavenly Blue' is looking good too. The hens and chicks and tiny sedum are tucked under a rock.
Korean azalea and new (2011) upper garden. Needs a lot more plants but it's off to a pretty good start.
Steve, the paths and circular areas are made from individual pavers. The pine is a black pine, Pinus thunbergii 'Thunderhead'. This was all completed only last June, so I will enjoy adding new plants over time. I want to add some evergreen and low spreading plants to fill some areas, and more specimen type shrubs and trees. Keeps me thinking!
Rushing to get in at the end of April.
Fothergilla 'Mt Airy'
Highbush blueberry
The early azaleas are now almost full.
Azalea 'Hino Crimson' and 'Fragrant Rose' daffodils with an upstart self-seeded foxglove.
Inherited azalea

After many years of involvement on the Ogeechee Technical College Board of Directors, F. Tommy David presided over his final Board meeting at the College June 18. In honor of David's departure from the Board, David's long-time friend, and freelance writer, Ric Mandes, spent some time as David reminisced about his passion for technical education and Ogeechee Tech. The story follows…
Some of Statesboro's more "seasoned" citizens may remember back in the early 1940's when a man named R. D. Bowen would "buzz" Statesboro during his basic training in the Air Force.
On May 4, the Girl Scouts of Historic Georgia awarded four teens with the prestigious Girl Scout Gold Award during an awards ceremony at the Elks Lodge #183. One of these awards was given to Statesboro resident Ashlin Reid.
DeAngelo Tyson is just like any other high school senior – his situation is just a little bit different.
Statesboro resident Martha Woodbery has three sons in the service of our country. For her and her sons, serving their country is just part of the family business.
Photography has the unmatched ability of communicating the value of a human life," said Tyler Moore.
Georgia Southern University's fitness director Michelle Martin is a bit of a task master - for health, that is.
Last Tuesday morning, my editor, Jim Healy, presented me with an interesting proposition.
Making its mainland U.S. debut, the musical "On Dragonfly Wings" opens Thursday in Georgia Southern University's new Black Box Theatre located in the Center for Art and Theatre. The show, presented by Georgia Southern University Theatre and Performance, runs April 10 -13 and 15 -19 with evening shows starting at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday's matinee at 2 p.m.
There's a family of eagles living in Bulloch County. Eagle Scouts that is.
It was a bittersweet ending for the Portal Panthers basketball team as they lost in overtime, at a Class A semi-final game Thursday in Macon.
Walk into Jessie Simpkins' rented home in Statesboro, and you will find the decor a little unusual. Where most people might have ornamental pieces or decorative furniture, Simpkins has shelves of medical supplies.
I have a new friend. A mockingbird has taken to arriving at Sandhill early every morning to perch on the empty shepherd's crook standing at the edge of the deck. Balanced carefully on the cold curve of iron, beak tilted into the crisp morning air, he looks for all the world like a well-fed vassal surveying his fiefdom. Or better, with his pale gray feathers that end in a long square tail, like a British bridegroom in cutaway and ascot.
The lights are coming up on the Center for Art and Theatre, the stunning $7-million home for the visual and performing arts at Georgia Southern University.
NEW YORK - On Wednesday, HarperCollins unveiled the jacket art for Harper Lee's "Go Set a Watchman," the unexpected follow-up to her classic "To Kill a Mockingbird."
When it comes to Easter eating, our family has favorites: Deviled eggs, baked ham, potato salad and Rice Krispies cereal treats are a must. However, we also like trying something new. We found ground lamb on sale and decided to try some curried lamb meatballs.
When it comes to pie, everyone has a favorite, from bright citrus key lime to the dark decadence of chocolate silk. There are fruit lovers who demand all pies have a double crust and go well with ice cream, and there are those who delight in creamy pudding mixed with coconut or bananas. Then there are the pumpkin lovers who argue a pie without a squash isn't a pie at all. Around our house we love them all, but there is one pie we love the best: the cheesecake.
Did you know that St. Patrick was an English missionary who shared the message of Christianity with the people of Ireland and that his color was actually blue? (See history.com and catholic.org.) Or that corned beef was an American food that Irish immigrants ate when they moved to New York? (See history.com.)
There were many who tried — the Babylonians around 1990 B.C., the Egyptians in 1650 B.C. and others — but it was a Greek mathematician, Archimedes, born in 287 B.C. in Italy, who figured out the closest value for pi, the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter, according to "A History of Π" on exploratorium.edu.

Ain't even worth that.
Wet powder.
Not even worth the powder and shot.
If Jesus was perfect then how could he learn anything new?
Scriptures say he learned from his mistakes. How can a perfect man make mistakes.
When you think about it, when anyone uses 2015 as this year, or refers to any other year as A.D., anno Domini, "in the Year of Our Lord", or even the secular C.E., Common Era, they are following the idea of today's holiday in the church calendar: The Naming of Jesus. Years ago I recall it being referred to as what it was, the Circumcision of Jesus. This is the only inherently "male" holiday I can think of, from a totally historic point of view. It goes a step beyond the Incarnation. and specifically focuses on the obedience of the Holy Family to the Jewish law, and as I have read elsewhere, foreshadows the sacrifice, being His first blood-letting. Even though I am not circumcised, I rejoice in the shared maleness between us and Jesus. I believe that part of our worship should fittingly declare not just His humanity, but his full manhood. In that sense, the True Art of Manliness is emulation of Jesus as we say to Him "You the Man", indeed, "Ecce homo!", Behold the Man, as Pilate said. Happy 2015!
Heard a story from prison this morning through my son-in-law (who himself is in prison) and who told it to my daughter, Debbie. It immediately brought tears to my eyes. There is a Muslim man there who my son-in-law has known for many years. The man is from Pakistan and has been in prison 22 years. He came to visit this country with his friend 23 years ago but his friend did something Muslims consider "dishonorable" and so, feeling justified, he killed him. He is now serving a life sentence. He hates all non-Muslim "infidels." He has Osama Bin Laden tattooed on his body. He has walked around for years glorying in 9/11 and all the violence that "extremists" have done and are doing in the Middle East.
A few months ago my son-in-law challenged him to read First Work (my commentary book on Genesis) and Strange Work (my commentary book on Revelation) and gave him two worn copies to read. Afterwards, the man was transferred to a different part of the prison and Jaime (my son-in-law) lost contact with him. Then, last night, the man was moved back into the area where my son-in-law is and he brought the books back to Jaime (which were now so read that they were taped together with many things underlined and worn). He said to my son-in-law, "Please tell Pastor Munson that after reading these books over and over I gave my life to Christ and now see where I've been under control of Satan. Even though I will never get out of prison, I have never felt more free in my entire life." Please pray for our new brother in Christ doing life in prison in Livingston, Texas.

REDWOOD SHORES, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 01/09/13 -- Oracle (NASDAQ: ORCL)
News Facts
- The American Red Cross has implemented Oracle's ATG Web Commerce solutions, components of Oracle Commerce, to improve personalization and drive donations in support of its humanitarian services and programs through an improved customer experience on redcross.org.
- Red Cross deployed ATG Web Commerce to replace several hundred local Web sites with a single, standardized site that provides a better customer experience, reduces overall expenses and at the same time allows regional organizations to shape information and address local needs.
Delivering During a Crisis
- In the days following Hurricane Sandy, Red Cross relied heavily on its new Web site so people could get regional updates, find local shelters, donate money and volunteer for disaster relief efforts.
- During the Hurricane Sandy telethon on NBC, the Red Cross site handled peak volumes of more than 500,000 page requests per minute, 75,000 concurrent credit card users, and 22 financial transactions per second with 100 percent uptime.
- The ATG Web Commerce platform enables Red Cross to deliver information based on a visitor's location, so the organization was able to target content. That means that people in affected areas saw shelter and services updates while those coming to the site from outside the Sandy-impacted area could quickly find ways to volunteer, give blood, or make financial donations.
Helping to Mobilize the Power of Volunteers and Donors
- Volunteers and donors engage with the Red Cross in many different ways; the new site provides patrons with a consolidated view of their involvement, including volunteer work, monetary contributions, blood donations, online CPR courses and merchandise purchases.
- The charitable organization -- which responds to roughly 70,000 disasters per year, helping millions of people in need -- uses ATG Web Commerce On Demand to contain costs while having the infrastructure required to handle extreme increases in traffic during domestic and international disasters.
- Red Cross also uses ATG Web Commerce Service Center to make it easier to relay vital information gathered locally during disasters and respond faster to volunteer and donor inquiries.
- Empathy Lab and McFadyen Consulting Group, both Gold level partners in Oracle PartnerNetwork (OPN), worked with Red Cross on the new Web site.
Supporting Quotes
- "We used Oracle's ATG Web Commerce personalization and content targeting capabilities during our Sandy response to update and make changes hourly, to keep people informed and make it easier for them to get help and know how to help," said Craig Oldham, Vice President of Marketing, Digital Engagement, American Red Cross. "Bringing all of the touchpoints onto a single platform makes it possible for us to offer users a personalized, consistent experience while reducing overall costs. We are using ATG Web Commerce to streamline how we engage and interact with donors, volunteers, course-takers and supporters."
- "Oracle's ATG Web Commerce has enabled us to standardize and simplify e-commerce operations, improve security and compliance, handle a disaster-related surge in activity, and provide new and better ways to connect with and to serve individuals and communities," said Suzanne Hall, Vice President of Information Technology, Multi Channel Commerce and Security, American Red Cross.
- "By standardizing on Oracle's ATG Web Commerce, the American Red Cross is equipping its teams to connect more effectively and efficiently with key audiences while making it easier for people to get involved," said Mike Webster, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Oracle Retail. "When you centralize commerce operations and deploy the right tools, you also improve the ability to make the end user's experience more personally relevant, satisfying and productive."

Tech-nical how she nibble, uhh
from ScHoolboy Q (Ft. Jay Rock) – 2 Raw Lyrics on Genius
Fucking around with women is a game to Schoolboy, or so he purports. Notice the numerous basketball references in the first verse (ballin, refereeing, whistle, dribble). Q continues this as he plays off of his description of a woman as "foul", implying she redeemed herself because the way she went down on him was "technical".

... fries(fancy style) and Ash had spaghetti bolognaise. The dishes were expensive, mine costing about $30 and Ash's costing $25 but what shocked us even more was the €6 each bottle of coke we had with it. That's $18 for two bottle of coke! And no the bottles weren't gold! And no there was no alcohol in the drink either. Massive rip off! Luckily the food was good otherwise I'd have been really spewing! Our last night in Europe. We are looking forward to the comforts of home ...

We skied for a few more hours and we had an awesome time. We both had fun getting some sweet speed. So far this was my favourite day of the holiday! I was very proud of Ash and how much her skiing ability improved the second day! After about 6 hours of skiing we went back to the hotel and gave our rental gear back. It was now ...

I wasn't sure if she was going skiing or visiting the moon... Haha. I got my board and Ash her skis and we were off to hit the slopes. There were some easy runs outside the hotel that were fun and allowed Ash to get back into the swing of things. She was doing pretty good and having fun! We decided, ...

Luckily it only came to €25 so I was pretty happy about that and the taxi driver was great, telling us all about the area. The hotel was lovely, a huge spacious room and a fantastic view of the mountains. What more could you ...

The guide was great and introduced us to many sights including the Church of St Ignatious of Loyola which included a huge fake painted dome - when you are building a church and run out of money you have to improvise.

Galleon Group, the $3.7 billion hedge fund at the center of the insider trading ring that the government, its wire taps and a reportedly secret SEC data-mining project exposed last Friday, is liquidating its funds and shutting down following what amounts to a run on the bank, according to a letter sent to its investors Wednesday.
Buyers are reportedly at the ready. Galleon has big positions in Google among others and was one of the three biggest technology hedge funds. If it dumps its stock, it could bring prices down.
Robert Moffat, the senior IBM executive responsible for the company's $5.4 billion hardware business who personally transmitted an acquisition offer letter to Sun on IBM's behalf earlier this year, was indicted last week along with five other conspirators in the scheme and is out on $2 million bail.
Described in a Wall Street Journal piece as the "quintessential IBMer," Moffat, now on leave from the company, reportedly intends to plead innocent to charges that he divulged quarters' worth of material insider information on IBM and Sun earnings as well as details of AMD's joint venture deal with Abu Dhabi to Danielle Chiesi, an employee of New Castle Partners, another hedge fund, who both traded on the information herself and passed it to Galleon.
Supposedly Moffat didn't profit financially from the trades. It's unclear how his lawyer Kerry Lawrence will explain his alleged actions – trying to impress a girl maybe? They'd better come up with something more bullet-proof. He's been charged with conspiracy to commit securities fraud and could do five years.
Galleon founder Raj Rajaratnam, who planned to leave the company last Friday which explains his arrest, is out on $100 million bail. He is one of the richest men in the world with a net worth of around $1.3 billion.
The New York Times figures Galleon lost $30 million on the allegedly illegal trades, mostly on the 16 million shares of AMD it bought for $85 million-$90 million, wiping out the $20 million supposedly made on the rest of them.
The Boston Global says investigators plan to charge at least 10 more securities professionals with insider trading. They would have all probably been caught up in the dragnet if the government didn't have move quickly last week to prevent Rajaratnam from fleeing the country.
One question – aside from motive remains – why was Moffat, the guy who sold IBM's PC unit to Lenovo, allowed to turn himself in and escape the perp walk Rajaratnam and Chiesi were exposed to? Arrangements had to have been made ahead of time. The SEC's civil complaint means to see that if nothing else he's never again an officer of a publicly traded company.

@Bonk lovely pics, what camera are you using? I would like to able to throw distracting backgrounds out of focus (like in the pics of Sania using her phone)
Anyhow, here's some pics I took of Sania recently in the 1st round of qualifying at Eastbourne, the week before Wimbledon. These would be much better images if the background was more out of focus but, hey, there's no doubting the beauty of the main subject

DNV GL, a ship and offshore classification society and technical risk service providers, has acquired Marine Cybernetics, a company for third-party testing of computer control systems. The acquisition expands DNV GL's scope of services in the offshore and maritime industries.
Marine Cybernetics was established in 2002 as a spin-off from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU). Based in Trondheim, Norway, the company introduced the concept of Hardware-In-the Loop-Testing (HIL) to the maritime and offshore industries. HIL testing significantly reduces the risk of accidents, off-hire costs and non-productive time due to software-related issues.
"The decision to invest in Marine Cybernetics was driven by the increasing importance of software dependent systems in ensuring safe, reliable and efficient operations. We have now come to a point where we cannot only rely on testing and verifying hardware," said Remi Eriksen, DNV GL Group Executive Vice President and COO. "We see that an increasing number of incidents, many of them severe, are caused by software- related issues. There's a weak spot in the way the offshore and marine industries work to ensure total system quality. That weak spot is getting bigger every day, but we're going to rectify this," he continued, adding, "Marine Cybernetics has unique technology and processes for the third-party testing and verification of computer-based control systems. This will be a game changing platform to enhance safety and increase operational efficiency in the offshore and maritime industries."
A requirement of software-system certification was introduced into the offshore classification rules by DNV GL some time ago. Currently, the market for the third- party testing and certification of control systems is small but has huge potential.
According to Eriksen, the short-term synergies will facilitate a global roll out of HIL testing services via DNV GL's worldwide network, allowing Marine Cybernetics to reach even more customers across the globe. A mid-term perspective is a combination of service offerings. "As such, we strive to actively drive the further development of the concept of classification. And a longer term goal is to use the competencies and technologies in other asset heavy and software intensive industries, such as the power generation, transmission and distribution industries," Eriksen said.
Marine Cybernetics Chief Executive Officer Stein Eggan said, "This is an important milestone for Marine Cybernetics and true recognition of our capabilities as the leading provider of third- party testing and verification of control system software for the maritime and offshore industries. Since DNV GL is the leading global ship and offshore classification society and the leading technical assurance provider to the oil and gas industry, this transaction will also strengthen our global delivery capabilities and continued technological development, benefitting both companies' customers and industry partners as well as creating interesting opportunities for our employees."
Eggan continued, "We have enjoyed a good working relationship with DNV GL for many years and look forward to bringing our companies together to continue to build a sustainable business in the software integrity field, strongly vested in shared philosophies and core values."
"Main shareholder Statoil Technology Invest (STI) first supported Marine Cybernetics through its LOOP product development programme in 2003 and then invested in 2005, recognizing the importance of being able to independently test critical control system software on vessels and rigs. We are pleased to see that MC has found a good home in DNV GL," said Richard Erskine, Managing Director of STI.

As we start the week … I'm finding myself struggling a little bit with the January Blahs. I've decided to take some positive action, including forcing some flower bulbs, doing a bit of cleaning and organizing, and making sure I get plenty of mama time to recharge and daydream. There are some great ideas for being the blahs in this post from Confessions of a Homeschooler, too.
Just for fun … I took this quiz after Reading Rainbow linked to it on Twitter: Which Children's Book Character are You? I was The Giving Tree. Which one are you?
I am thankful … for the opportunity to apologize. I was very cranky this morning (see January Blahs above) and my temper got the best of me. It was humbling, but good soul food, to apologize to my family. If it is a good thing to teach our children about humility and how to sincerely apologize when we mess up (and I think it is) then I'm thankful that my mistake can be used as an example.
