Zach Galifianakis, Paul Rudd reteaming
Valerie Faris and Jonathan Dayton are directing, with Will Ferrell and Adam McKay's Gary Sanchez on board to produce with Scot Armstrong.
The story follows an ordinary guy (Rudd) who lives in a world where people's lives and destinies are being written by scribes in Heaven. The man wakes up one day to find that his heavenly writer (Galifianakis) has decided to no longer draft his life, and he must go about his day unscripted, ending up on a journey to fulfill his hidden potential.
The script, by Demetri Martin, used to be a DreamWorks project but moved over to Paramount. Ravi Nandan is executive producing.
UTA-repped Faris and Dayton became a hit directing duo with "Little Miss Sunshine" but have struggled to find a follow-up effort. They were attached to do "Used Guys" at Fox, but that fell apart due to a ballooning budget.
Rudd, repped by UTA and Brillstein Entertainment Partners, also appeared in Paramount's hit "I Love You, Man."
For Galifianakis, repped by CAA and Brillstein Entertainment Partners, "Will" continues his streak of booking high-profile comedies that began with "Hangover." He next appears in "Due Date" with Robert Downey Jr.

We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
Some people would claim that the producer has more power than the consumer in this situation, but if consumers find that conditions a particular producer's SFC too onerous then they are free to switch to a competitor's product which has more favourable terms (i.e. dump Kylix/JBuilder for something else which is exactly what I'm sure many people were planning to do).
Whether people actually pay any attention to SFC's is another matter entirely. Steven E. Rhoades writes in The Economist's View of the World that in the mid 1980's one bank inserted a sentence in the midst of its disclosure statement offering ten dollars to anyone who sent in a postcard with the words "Regulation E" on it. Out of 115,000 recipients of the statement not one responded.
It is correct to use an apostrophe to pluralize a symbol or acronym
No it isn't. In fact the correct punctuation should be "V.C.R.s".
For the record apostrophes are used to denote possesives as in "the cat's feet" or "the cats' feet" if there is more than one cat except for the pronoun "it" so you would have "its feet". This is because the other place to use an apostrophe is to denote letters you can't be bothered to type such as the "no" in the preceding "cannot" and "it's" really means "it is". Now you could say that the apostrophe in "VCR's" stands for "ecorder", but to be consistent you'd have to have "V'C'R's".

WICHITA, Kan. (AP) _ Steady rain over the past few months has
dramatically eased the drought in Kansas.
Larry Ruthi, meteorologist for the National Weather Service in
Dodge City, told The Wichita Eagle (http://bit.ly/IyYgHf ) that the
recent rain in southwest Kansas has lessened the drought
Less than one-half of 1 percent of Kansas _ in the southwest
corner _ remains in extreme drought, compared to more than 28
percent of the state in late September.
Dodge City has recorded 7.39 inches of rain since Dec. 1, the
third-highest total over that stretch since records began more than
100 years ago. Medicine Lodge logged 10.37 inches and Cimarron had 8.44 inches.
About 11 percent of Kansas remains in the three worst drought
categories, compared to nearly half of the state last September.

But, the truth is that will all this cold, ice and slippery white crap everywhere, every week (and now a few times a week), I'd rather not think about it, much less look at it anymore.

That I finished this series June through August during my "summer residency" and it's now December and I'm just posting is a testament to my involvement in all things Internet and social media. I'm living off line anymore. Anyhow, I teach middle school students the science of climate change. I teach kids how our wholesale burning of previously stored ancient carbon throughout the Industrial Revolution and today creates conditions for climate instability (I stress that earth's climate is never "stable" but explain that a heat-reflecting, carbon-polluted atmosphere exasperates climate change). These three paintings are the result of what rattles around in my head. Someday this series will be exhibited in the Smithsonian galleries as means to show what the hell was on the mind of a contemporary artist in 2014.
it's going to be ok (3 new pieces and the short story behind them)
1. My uncle's print shop was being knocked down to make way for a parking lot.
2. I went to photograph it prior to destruction. The excavating company had spray painted "OK" on the sidewalk out front, I guess to mean my uncle was not passed out in the shop prior to it being demolished.
3. I took a photo of him watching his shop's end from across the street; it was a painful experience for him, as the apartment above was the place where he grew up.
4. The foundation tessellations for the series "it's going to be ok" is the roofline from another nearby building that was also demolished; it was my father's building, where he had an office once.
5. It's going to be ok.

IL State Workers To See Pay Raises
By John Walker & The Associated Press
The Associated Press has learned that Gov. Pat Quinn's administration will begin July 1 to pay union workers at the contractual wage rate called for in 2011. There will also be some money for back wages owed, but not all of it.
An email from the executive director of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees yesterday says employees in six government agencies will get at least 7.25% more in the new fiscal year. That's the level they would have been at if Quinn had not reneged on raises in 2011 and 2012. AFSCME sued and won. AFSCME director Henry Bayer said a legislative request for $140 million in back pay would cover all the shortfall. But the General Assembly didn't act on it.

Martha Johnson, administrator of the General Services Administration, resigned April 2 after an investigation found agency officials had wasted money on a training conference.
The IG's office released its report on the Western Regions 2010 conference late on April 2. According to the report, the conference cost more than $822,000. The expenses included multiple "planning trips" and "test runs" in which GSA employees stayed at the luxury hotel where the conference took place in October; various violations of contracting rules, including telling a contractor the maximum budget for a training exercise -- $75,000 -- and then paying that amount; and a lavish reception costing $31,208.
Also out: Robert Peck, commissioner of the Public Buildings Service, and Johnson's adviser Stephen Leeds, who served briefly as acting GSA administrator in 2009 and 2010, while Johnson was going through the confirmation process. Johnson fired both men before submitting her own resignation, the Washington Business Journal reported.
In her resignation letter, Johnson said GSA had made "a significant misstep" and explained her decision to step down in the wake of an internal probe.
"Reports of an internal conference in which taxpayer dollars were squandered led me to launch internal reviews, take disciplinary personnel action and institute tough new controls to ensure this incident is not repeated," she wrote. "In addition, I feel I must step aside as administrator so that the agency can move forward at this time with a fresh leadership team."
Some observers noted that Johnson, who was confirmed in April 2010, had been in office only a few months before the conference took place and it is not likely that she played a role in the planning.
"When you come into an organization as complex and big as GSA, there are a lot of things in motion when you get there," said Bob Woods, president of Topside Consulting and former Commissioner of the Federal Technology Service at GSA. "There are a lot of moving parts. I don't think it's reasonable to think she came in in April or May and was down to managing things on the conference planning level in the Public Buildings Service."
Indeed, many of the abuses associated with the planning process and documented in the report took place in 2009.
Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee Chairman Joe Lieberman (I-Conn.) issued a statement calling the debacle "a stupid and infuriating waste of taxpayer dollars" and added that the "people responsible for it should be held accountable."
Procurement attorney Jonathan Aronie, a partner in the government contracting group at Sheppard Mullin law firm in Washington D.C., said that the broader effects of the IG report and the resignations are likely to be minimal, because the spending abuses are egregious.
"I find that big issues actually have a different type of impact that the issues that are in everyone else's sphere of reality," he said. "When I'm trying to give a compliance course to a client, I don't use a big, extravagant case as my example. Something like this, people will look at it and say, 'we don't do stuff like that.' The things that have a big impact are the things people look at and say, 'Oh, I've done things like that before.'"
Woods said the situation reflects bad timing.
"Given some of the guidance the agencies have received on spending, this is bad timing," Woods said. "The lesson is that you have to worry about, and manage, perceptions. Someone was not paying attention to the details."
At the same time, he was sympathetic to the people who are being harshly judged in hindsight.
"These are people who, for the most part, want to do well for the public. They are dedicated and passionate, and this stuff is judged in the rear-view mirror. It makes you think twice about public service," Woods said.
GSA has tapped Dan Tangherlini, the Treasury Department's assistant secretary for management, chief financial officer, and chief performance officer as acting administrator, according to published accounts.

To the person at GSA. All consciousness federal employees (there are a lot) feel your pain. According to some articles the rank and file at GSA tried to tell management that spending that money was not right but of course they were not listened to. I think all federal workers should take a sick day at the same time and then see what happens when folks can't get the things they want and need done. Yes, in the private sector there are also folks who don't work as hard as others or game the system or have friends in high place,s but you don't here about those. Also, you don't hear about the federal workers who work 10, 12 15 hour days to accomplish a mission, any mission, we go about our day in spite of the idiots they have in management, doing our jobs with little or no fan fare. I for one am sick and tired of fed bashing so the heck with all of you and I am going to retire and enjoy my larger than life, over-the-top pension ha-ha-ha.
Just in the beltway there is an estimated $5 billion in fraud being committed via the GSA every year. The GSA contracts program is used to park and preserve expiring funds, its used to negate the requirement for competition, the GSA MAS program is responsible for the 4th circuit rolling back the false claims act to the 1986 rule that government knowledge was defense for fraud. I met with Emily Murphy and Roger when she was being investigated with Safavian. The GSA has been provided a road map to fix the shenanigans once and for wall, but then how would clever politicians and bureaucrats play games with employment count and siphoning contract dollars off to PAC's?
So now that Martha and Dan Gordon is gone I guess Obama has sanitized any potential blow back on him for his order to implement FSSI at the cost of 30,000 jobs.
I was a former founding chair from industry on the GSA's Industry government Council. First Dan Gordon left OMB and now Johnson leaves GSA. What the media will not tell you is that Obama had both Gordon and Johnson implement the Federal Strategic Sourcing Initiative (FSSI) that is in the process of taking away GSA Schedule contracts from 3,000 companies that already have vetted GSA Schedules, which will result in approximately 30,000 jobs being sent to the unemployment line. The formation of GSA internal BPA's that then direct all agencies and activities to only use the select contractors within the BPA and not the other schedule holders violates FAR 6.102d3.
Seems like there are a lot of "pots" calling the GSA "kettle" black.

Lucky Bums was made for mini outdoor adventurers! Founders Jeff and Julie Streeter created the line of backpacks, sleeping bags, snowboards, and more because they couldn't find quality gear to fit their family's active lifestyle. Their first item, a ski training harness with a safety handle (which helps you scoop up your child off the ground), was an instant success. The line grew from there, and now tiny outdoor enthusiasts have the functional, quality clothes and accessories they need.
Teaching kids about math and money isn't always easy, but that's about to change (no pun intended!). This sale is filled with games and toys that help kids with counting, making correct change (think play cash registers), and other math-related skills.
Make learning even more fun with digital math games, alphabet puzzles, and more.
Play tents, puzzles, and more up-all-night essentials for a slumber party win.
Quirky-cool picks for a downtown play date.

INDIANAPOLIS -- Brad Childress might have provided the most memorable moment of the interviews at the NFL Scouting Combine but it had nothing to do with anything he said.
Instead, the Vikings coach serenaded those assembled around a podium inside the media center at Lucas Oil Field. This came after Childress was asked a question about E.J. Henderson's recovery from the broken leg he suffered in December. Childress went into a story about how he saw Henderson at the Vikings facility on Thursday and that the linebacker was using a cane to get around.
Upon witnessing this, Childress said he broke into song and then Childress actually started to sing. "He wore a cane and derby hat, they called him Bat, Bat Masterson." Media members looked on either surprised or at least amused. "[Henderson] looked at me and said, 'What was that?'" Childress said. "I said, 'Bat Masterson.' I said to the trainer, 'Google that right now.' So he Googled it and the first thing that came up the guy sang."
At this point Childress started to sing again. "He wore a cane and derby hat, they called him Bat.'"
Henderson soon found out Childress was talking about the classic TV Western series that featured the late Gene Berry and ran from 1958 to 1961. Here's the theme song in case you're curious and here's Childress' version.
"His new nickname is not E.J., it's Bat," Childress said.

- Yes, it's James May, aka, Captain Slow of Top Gear fame.
- No, this isn't from an episode of Top Gear. This was from a TV special
called "James May On The Moon", which was made to celebrate the 40th
Anniversary of the Apollo Moon Landings. James May has made several series
that are completely unrelated to Top Gear.
- The music is called "Flight" performed by Ty Unwin especially for this
I'm sad to say that it is not currently available on its own.
- The chase cars on take off and landing are a standard part of U-2
operations. They are there to assist the pilot, especially on landing.
A combination of fragile and unstable rear landing gear, the aircrafts
reluctance to descend and a high approach attitude that gives the pilot
poor visibility of the ground has made the U-2 very difficult to land and
so another U-2 pilot follows behind in the chase car to quite literally
talk them down for the last few feet.

Mirage 2000
Dogfight é uma modalidade de combate aéreo em que a aproximação é
efetiva, e de poucas dezenas ou centenas de metros, exigindo dos pilotos
elevada acuracia, atenção, rapidez e destreza nas manobras aéreas, na
tentativa de enquadrar o oponente, ou, em caso contrário, fugir a todo
custo do enquadramento rival, para, num momento adequado, voltar a
perseguir o inimigo. A proximidade é tamanha que, em muitos casos, o uso
da metralhadora é mais efetivo do que mísseis ar-ar.
Nesse tipo de combate aéreo, o uso de pós-combustão é quase que
integral. Sendo um combate "corpo-a-corpo", os caças leves, com elevado
índice de manobrabilidade, e com elevada capacidade de reaceleração
levam vantagem sobre caças mais pesados ou com pouca tendência a manobras
de elevadas cargas de aceleração gravitacional. Fonte: Wikipédia

Grilled Pork Chops with Anchovies and Swiss Chard
Most tasters couldn't detect anchovies in the marinade for the pork and were pleasantly surprised to learn that they actually liked the hint of pungent saltiness. One secret is to let the chops marinate at room temperature for 30 minutes, which yields juicier meat after grilling.

Swimming: Raiders have no trouble with Rangers
The Hastings girls swimming team had no trouble beating Forest Lake on Thursday, getting out to a big lead en route to an 88-77 win.
Hastings won every event.
The swimmer of the meet for the Raiders was sophomore Kate Reilly.
"She had a great first meet," Hastings coach Katie McAlpin said. "Her individual times were right on. She is going to be a great asset to our team this year."

MIAMI -- Philadelphia Phillies center fielder Shane Victorino has a grade-one sprain of his right thumb, and assistant general manager Scott Proefrock didn't rule out the possibility of placing him on the disabled list.
Victorino returned Tuesday to Philadelphia, where the injury was diagnosed by a hand specialist. A grade-one sprain is the least severe.
"He's feeling better," Proefrock said. "We will make a decision on what our course of action will be with him in the next 48 hours."
Victorino was hurt Sunday when he stumbled and fell making a throw in Toronto.
"He can't grip the ball, and it's hard to grip the bat," manager Charlie Manuel said.
Victorino was replaced in the starting lineup by Michael Martinez, who has four RBI in the past two games.

So yesterday I had the "failed to download a required file" bug, which I solved by doing a clean instal of my entire computer + SC2 (although I have to admit I didn't do it just for SC) And today I have the "download failed" error which I tried to solve by clearing what I though was my cache by following the advice in this thread: http://us.battle.net/sc2/en/forum/topic/2267600188 and now None of my Blizzard apps can connect to Battle.net and I don't know what to do because as per the advice I cleared my trash and lost the file forever.
I feel very frustrated and would like the most straightforward way to fix this.
Thank you,
Battle.net Connection Lost
"Unable to download an authentication module. Please try again later." - Starcraft 2
"There was a problem was an authentication module" - Diablo 3
Battle.net Error #114
"Unable to connect..." - WoW
Man that was some poisonous advice, is there any solution to this short of reinstalling everything? I don't even know what to reinstall since it was a shared folder.
I've solved the problem temporarily by copy pasting a very old version of the same folder I had on a backup drive instead of the original but now I can't even see the selection screen in "quick matches"...
This: https://us.battle.net/support/en/article/deleting-the-battlenet-cache-folder-mac
Should come with a blood red warning. I feel really pissed right now.
So I got two different responses from Blizz to the tickets I made about this problem. One was about fixing permissions on my shared folder and the other suggesting to delete another folder and tinkering with my firewall. Neither of which worked.
Any suggestions? I would really appreciate some technical help. It seem that battle.net shared folder should be re-downloaded when I launch one of the apps, which it is but it seems to dysfunctional and prevents any of the Blizzard apps from connecting (problem downloading an authentication module, error #114 WoW).
Should I just reinstal one of the apps, like SC2, in hopes of generating a new shared folders? Should I delete both the SC2 folder and the Blizzard shared folder and reinstall SC2? I'm scared if I do that it won't generate a new (functional) Blizzard folder... Any suggestions? I feel desperate and I really don't want to do a clean instal of the entire system again.
Just tried deleting the Blizzard folder and re-instaling SC2 but it didn't help. The new folder generated still causes the #114 error.... how hopeless. Nobody should ever touch that folder, ever. At least not without making a backup... man I feel dumb.
Have you tried to switch your DNS servers from your ISP's to something else? I've seen this from time to time due to a service provider issue, in which temporarily switching to another DNS server helps,
Try using Google's DNS for now and test. If it works after you switch, then you know it is an issue with the service provider.
Edited by Machkhan on 1/21/2013 8:36 AM PST
It looks like some ISPs in Australia/New Zealand are experiencing these issues. Do you happen to be in these areas? We've check it out, and it seems to be an ISP side issue. If you're in this area and the issues persist, then you might want to contact your ISP for follow-up.
I am living in Japan and I am facing the same problem. All blz games were ''unable to download an authentication module. Please try again late''.
It starts with I cannot create games vs AI due to ''unable to download something''. I try to fix this by deleting battle.net folder from /users/Share. But I made a mistake and delete all the files under /users/Share. Then the nightmare comes. All blz games were ''unable to download an authentication module. Please try again late''. I tried all possible ways from your FAQ part (all of them!!) and reinstalled both diablo III and sc 2 for a couple of times. None of them works.
What I can do?
By the way, I am using Mac OSX 10.8.2 on iMac (2012late).
Did you try what i mentioned before and use Google's DNS servers to see if you can connect?

This worked before. Now is happenning again, even change DNS doesnt work.
I'm connecting from France actually. Hope that helps in some way. I'm sure you're right about it being an ISP problem but it's strange it wasn't a problem before. Anyways, unlike Lust your DNS solution is still working for me and I hope it continues to.

it seems down load problem continues through out the battle net related games. I am so frustrated when sc2 partially works and now I can not log in to battle net at all. Computer expert has been looking in to it and followed the instruction you tech support gave us but next day problem continues again. I think this is a serious problem for players and hope to be fixed as soon as possible.

Flash photography made easy: master it all from pop-up flash to multiple flashguns
Flash photography made easy: using multiple flashguns to add depth and style
In this final section we'll look at the creative side of using flash. We'll explain how to use multiple flashguns to add depth and style to your pictures.
Once you've mastered all the techniques we've covered so far in this series, up your game and throw in another flashgun for the ultimate in cool off-camera techniques. Here, we used two flashguns, but you can use as many as you want.
One of our flashguns was tethered to our camera using the SC-17 cable. This was held away from the camera to light our subject from the side, as shown in our previous post on using off-camera flash.
However, in this set-up we've also added a second flashgun to create a backlight. As you can see from the before-and-after shots, the extra light helps to separate the subject from the background and create a sense of depth.
We switched the second flashgun to a remote mode. This essentially made it a 'slave' to the master flash, which was triggered by the camera when the shutter was pressed.
In Slave mode, the second flash will be triggered by the master flash and both will fire simultaneously.
Once again, while the automatic modes work well, we prefer working in Manual mode. It's best to start by getting the position and power of one light right, then adding additional lights as you progress.
Unless you've got a lot of willing helpers, you'll also need to get some sort of light stand or support for your second flashgun. Most flashguns come with a convenient hotshoe tripod adaptor that can be screwed into a tripod head, so if you're hand-holding your camera, try using your tripod as a light stand.
Flash of inspiration
For funky effects, try covering one or more of your flashguns with a coloured gel. For the image we used here, for instance, we used a red gel to light the brick wall in the background. Be careful not to go over the top, though, as too many colours can start to look tacky.

To get symbols on Saturday; DK to live stream from 247 polling booths
The stage has been set for the April 17 elections to Dakshina Kannada and Udupi-Chikmagalur Lok Sabha constituencies with the nominations filed by all the 31 contenders being found valid on Thursday.
Nominees could withdraw their nominations till 3 p.m. on Saturday. Those who remain in the fray will be allotted symbols at 4 p.m. on Saturday, said Returning Officer of Dakshina Kannada A.B. Ibrahim. Seventeen contenders in Dakshina Kannada parliamentary seat and 14 in Udupi-Chikmagalur seat filed papers.
Addressing presspersons here on Thursday, the Additional Returning Officer B. Sadashiva Prabhu said that the Election Commission is expected to upload the final voters' list on its website Saturday evening. Earlier Mr. Prabhu had said the final voters' list would be available on the website from Thursday. "It was an error on my part," he said. Mr. Ibrahim, also the Deputy Commissioner, said that the officials would start distributing the voters' slips at least five days ahead of April 17.
They would take the acknowledgement (signature) from voters. He said that production of voters' slip at the polling station on the polling day was not a must. Referring to people at two places on the outskirts of the city threatening to boycott the polls, the Deputy Commissioner said that efforts would be made to convince them to withdraw their decision and exercise their franchise.
The Assistant Commissioner would visit the places and if required "I (the Deputy Commissioner) will visit," he said.
Muddu Mohan, Returning Officer of Udupi-Chikmagalur constituency, said that the nomination papers of K. Jayaprakash Hegde (Congress), Shobha Karandlaje (BJP), V. Dhananjaya Kumar [Janata Dal (Secular)], S. Vijaya Kumar (CPI), Zakeer Hussain (BSP), C.J. Jagannath [Communist Party of India (Marxist-Leninist) Red Star], V. Dhanajaya, M.D. Mainuddin, Manjunath G., Srikanth B. Acharya, Srinivas, Sudhir Kanchan, Sundar Kumar (all independent candidates) were fin order.
Web casting
Mr. Ibrahim said that live webcasting would be done from 247 polling stations in the Dakshina Kannada constituency with the help of engineering students. Using this facility, polling activities in those stations could be monitored at the election control room here. He said 16 engineering colleges were part of the webcasting project, and a meeting would be held with representatives of all the institutions for finalising it.
The Deputy Commissioner said that the officials were working out if it was possible to have the live webcasting facility viewed by people on the internet.
If people see some disabled persons, senior citizens casting vote, it could inspire them cast their vote, too. It could also help voters to see if there was heavy rush and when they should turn up for voting.
192 hyper-sensitive booths
Dakshina Kannada Lok Sabha constituency has 192 hyper sensitive booths and 424 sensitive booths, said Returning Officer A.B. Ibrahim. The polling stations are classified so going by the previous records of incidents at those polling stations like violence, re-polling, abnormal percentage of voting and the like.

"The card design was perfect. Everyone we sent cards to raved about it. The paper quality was great and the price was fantastic."
"This was my first time using tinyprints.com. I was very happy with the ease of personalization of the card, the quality of the card stock, the option to have a designer review the card, and the speed of delivery. The ability to have different shapes for the edge of the card is such a nice touch. My cards came out just as pictured on the screen. Very pleased and would order again in the future."
"This card is beautiful. Am very happy with the quality of the card, the design and finished product. Highly recommend it. Perfect choice for us. Will buy again."
"I purchased these birth announcements on the arrival of my second daughter and my only disappointment is that I didn't use Tiny Prints for my first daughter! The quality was excellent, I wanted the pink background on the cards but asked if the white swirl could be added to the pink background and this was accommodated with no trouble. The photos look great, the layout was easy to personalize and the order arrived several days earlier than expected. Overall I could not be happier with the end product and can't wait to give them to our family and friends!"
"I have received lots of compliments for this pretty, feminine card. It is really beautiful and displays the photos perfectly. The paper quality was very high and the print quality also."

Exxon to build Houston-area campus, says no employees leaving Va.
- Jennifer Dawson and Sarah Krouse
Exxon Mobil Corp. confirmed Tuesday it will construct a large office campus to house employees currently working across the Houston area, though that complex will apparently not house employees from Northern Virginia any time soon.
Sources in Texas told the Houston Business Journal that Exxon employees in Northern Virginia will be relocated there, but the company denies that report.
Spokesman Alan Jeffers said the company completed a formal study of its real estate nationwide last year and concluded, for now, that only workers from some Houston-area offices would move into the new facility.
"We will continue to look to see if it makes sense to add workers to this," he said. "The Fairfax office and operations in New Jersey are not included."
Jerry Gordon, president and CEO of the Fairfax County Economic Development Authority, said he has had recent conversations with the company and was told local employees would not move to the new campus.
"As of this moment, it doesn't look like we will be losing these people," he said. "From what I understand, the space they are building out in Houston is for employees from various locations in Houston. It doesn't include any Fairfax or New Jersey people."
Bryan Milton, president of Exxon Mobil Global Services Co., sent an internal memo to all U.S. based employees saying the new Houston campus will be built on 385 acres at The Woodlands near the intersection of Interstate 45 and the Hardy Toll Road.
"Moves to the campus will be carried out in phases as the campus is constructed, beginning early 2014, with full occupancy by 2015," Milton said in the memo. "Houston-based employees working in upstream, chemicals and various staff support functions will move to the campus in that time frame."
Irving-based Exxon (NYSE: XOM) has previously confirmed that it has been evaluating its real estate and personnel nationwide. It employs about 2,600 people in Fairfax, and its campus there, at Route 50 and the Capital Beltway, spans about 118 acres. It was Mobil's headquarters before its 1999 merger with Exxon.
Exxon's new Houston campus will include multiple low-rise office buildings, laboratory, conference and training facilities, restaurants, child care facility, wellness center and retail space.
Here is the memo in its entirety:
From: EMCampus /SM Sent: Tuesday, June 07, 2011 6:23 AM Subject: INFO: ExxonMobil Announces New Houston Campus To all U.S.-based employees: Following extensive research into best practices in workplace design and benchmarking the world's top facilities, we are proceeding with construction of a new ExxonMobil office campus in north Houston for employees currently working in a variety of locations and functions across the Houston area. Located on a company-owned 385-acre wooded site near the intersection of I-45 and the Hardy Toll Road, the campus will deliver an unparalleled working environment that promotes innovation and employee collaboration, while also demonstrating our commitment to health, wellness and environmental responsibility. The decision to proceed with the campus resulted from a comprehensive U.S. Real Estate Strategy Study by a team of experts from GREF, EMIT, functional companies and support services, as well as external experts. The campus will include multiple low-rise office buildings, laboratory, conference and training facilities, outdoor open spaces, several food venues and other employee amenities including child care, an on-site wellness center and various retail offerings. Moves to the campus will be carried out in phases as the campus is constructed, beginning early 2014, with full occupancy by 2015. Houston-based employees working in Upstream, Chemicals and various staff support functions will move to the campus in that timeframe. The company is continuing to study whether any other U.S. office locations will ultimately be located in the complex. During the study we considered the evolving needs of our organization and the changing nature of the workplace. We benchmarked more than 100 state-of-the-art facilities and campus environments to design a campus that can provide the platform for enhanced collaboration and business execution excellence. We believe you'll be excited by the work environment, the beauty of the natural surroundings, the technology capabilities and the campus amenities. You can begin learning about plans for the new ExxonMobil office campus on the intranet site listed below. The site has additional information about the campus including a video and FAQs and will be updated as the project progresses. Bryan Milton President, ExxonMobil Global Services Company
