Operating Performance Ratios: Sales/Revenue Per Employee
By Richard Loth (Contact | Biography)
As a gauge of personnel productivity, this indicator simply measures the amount of dollar sales, or revenue, generated per employee. The higher the dollar figure the better. Here again, labor-intensive businesses (ex. mass market retailers) will be less productive in this metric than a high-tech, high product-value manufacturer.
As of December 31, 2005, Zimmer Holdings generated almost $3.3 billion in sales with an average personnel complement for the year of approximately 6,600 employees. The sales, or revenue, figure is the numerator (income statement), and the average number of employees for the year is the denominator (annual report or Form 10-K).
An earnings per employee ratio could also be calculated using net income (as opposed to net sales) in the numerator.
Industry and product-line characteristics will influence this indicator of employee productivity. Tracking this dollar figure historically and comparing it to peer-group companies will make this quantitative dollar amount more meaningful in an analytical sense.
For example, Zimmer Holdings' sales per employee figure of $497,878 for its 2005 fiscal year compares very favorably to the figure for two of its direct competitors - Biomet, Inc. (NYSE:BMET) and Stryker Corp. (NYSE:SYK). For their 2005 fiscal years, these companies had sales per employee figures of only $320,215 and $293,883, respectively.
The comparison of Microsoft (Nasdaq:MSFT) and Wal-Mart (WMT), two businesses in very different industries, illustrates how the sales per employee ratio can differ because of this circumstance. Microsoft relies on technology and brain power to drive its revenues, and needs a relatively small personnel complement to accomplish this. On the other hand, a mega-retailer like Wal-Mart is a very labor-intensive operation requiring a large number of employees. These companies' respective sales per employee ratios in 2005 were $670,939 and $172,470, which clearly reflect their industry differences when it comes to personnel requirements.
The sales per employee metric can be a good measure of personnel productivity, with its greatest use being the comparison of industry competitors and the historical performance of the company.

cheap diy hardscape
I put a basketball hoop in the backyard. My son really likes playing but its impossible to dribble ball on grass. Backyard was only option. Busy street front house.
I plan on do myself. Money tight and dont want anything fancy anyway. Something plain. What do u recommend?
Dig out 6-12" (depends on your climate), put down a weed barrier, and have some sharp gravel delivered. Tamp it down by hand and lock it into place with dry mortar mix. It's very labor intensive, but it's about as cheap as you are going to get for hardscape. If you want to spend a tiny bit more, rent a vibrating plate compactor for the tamping, and buy pizza and beer for your buddies for the digging. You will have to find something to do with the topsoil and subsoil, and there will be more of it than you think, so see if any of your neighbors or buddies needs to fill in a low spot or wants to make a planting berm.
I've used stone dust quite a few times.
It compacts very well; spread 4-6 inches, wet it or mist it with a sprinker, and compact it. I've used just stonedust, and I've also mixed it with dry portland to give a more durable surface.
If you're going to hand compact it with a tamper, you'll be better off doing it in several "lifts" or layers. Put down 2-3", compact it, then 2-3 more inches, compact it.
You can probably rent a gas-powered plate compacter for $40-$50 for a half-day. Well worth it. Well, well, well worth it!
Not sure how big you want to go, but a 20' by 40' area, 6" deep, would require about 15 yards, or 20 tons, of stonedust.
A 20' by 30' area about 4" deep would require half that, about 7-1/2 yards, or 10 tons.
thanks, I like that idea. Any idea of ratio of stone dust to portland cement? I was thinking of renting a mixer to blend it together.
The Portland/sand mix, aka dry mortar mix, is especially designed to lock together paver patios by being swept into the cracks and misted. The sand fills in any gaps that exist and creates a more knit together surface. You can use the mortar mix over tamped gravel and then mist instead of pavers, and this is what I suggested. Mixing stone dust and Portland and then tamping does basically the same thing but is more expensive and labor intensive since you are doing the mixing on the front end. That wouldn't be a weekend project, and you'd be better off financially buying a mixer than renting one so that you could do it on a longer more realistic timeline.
It depends on which area of the country you are in how much you would pay for stone dust. Here, where there is only wash gravel mining, stone dust is a trucked in luxury and is prohibitively expensive to use for a budget project. If you live somewhere that the stone dust is a byproduct of stone quarrying, then it's bound to be much cheaper and more budget friendly. Make some phone calls and find out the costs of the raw materials that are available to be used. Either way, to do a half basketball court, even in a budget manner, will be quite a project, both in muscle and in dollars spent.

Parking attendant discovers body in river near Mon Wharf
Pittsburgh police are trying to identify the body found in the Monongahela River Downtown on Monday.
The black man was between 50 and 60 years old and was fully clothed in a zipped up jacket and pants when a parking attendant spotted him floating near the Mon Wharf parking lot just before noon, Lt. Kevin Kraus said.
There's no indication his death was the result of foul play, Kraus said. It was unclear how long the body had been in the water.
The Allegheny County Medical Examiner's Office expects to conduct an autopsy on Tuesday.

Next 'Star Wars: Episode 7′ Trailer to Be Attached to 'Avengers 2′
The 'Star Wars: Episode 7' trailer just premiered online last week, but if you're already starved for new footage (and, who could blame you after that teaser), we've got word on when you can see the next 'Star Wars' trailer. The bad news is you're going to have to wait a while. The good news is, you were going to see 'Avengers 2' anyway, so now you have the added bonus of seeing a new 'Star Wars: Episode 7' trailer before Iron Man and Captain America start punching on some evil robots.
'Jurassic Park 4' Trailer: Welcome to Jurassic World!
"You just went and made a new dinosaur? Probably not a good idea."
And, there's the 'Jurassic Park 4' trailer summed up for you in pretty much one exchange. While the previous 'Jurassic Park' films dealt with the folly of John Hammond's original plans for the park, this new film imagines a world where Jurassic Park is now up and running. The kinks have been worked out. Raptors are trained. But, people are still people and that means they do really stupid things. Like create massive "hybrid" dinosaurs to goose attendance at their park.
'Peanuts' Trailer: Charlie Brown, Still a Blockhead
As Charlie Brown and Snoopy are perhaps best known for their classic holiday special 'A Charlie Brown Christmas,' it only makes sense that the new 'Peanuts' trailer debuts with a very Christmas-y feel. You have to wait until next Christmas to see the CGI 'Peanuts' movie, but you can get a taste of what it will look and feel like with this new trailer.
Marvel is Actively Hunting Down Whoever Leaked the 'Avengers 2′ Trailer
When the 'Avengers 2' trailer leaked online almost a week ahead of its planned debut during an episode of 'Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.', Marvel made light of the issue, joked about Hydra being responsible and, wisely, just uploaded an HD copy and let the leak continue. But, that doesn't mean behind closed doors that Marvel wasn't very upset and very concerned. The studio is moving aggressively to track and catch the person responsible for the leak.
Marvel Announces Even More 'Avengers 2′ Footage Will Debut During 'Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.'
The original 'Avengers 2' trailer plan was that the first footage would debut on October 28, immediately following that night's episode of 'Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.' on ABC. Not 24 hours after that announcement, a bootleg copy of the trailer leaked online. Disney and Marvel did the right thing and, instead of fighting to keep the bootlegs off the internet for a week, they pushed up the reveal and released an HD copy online. It didn't hurt the trailer (it still broke all kinds of records), but it did hurt that the planned synergy. 'Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.' was primed for a big ratings boost and the trailer leak hurt that. But, Marvel's got some new plans. Plans that will make fans happy as well as give 'S.H.I.E.L.D.' that boost it needed.
'Guardians of the Galaxy' Soundtrack to Be Released on Cassette Tape in November
As successful as 'Guardians of the Galaxy' was at the box-office (and, as the highest-grossing film of the year, it certainly was that), the film's iconic soundtrack was equally as successful. "Awesome Mix Vol. 1" spent two weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart and is currently the 10th largest selling album of 2014. You've been able to buy the digital album, the CD, vinyl and even a "Deluxe Edition," but so far, no actual cassette like the mix tape in the film. But, that's all about to change.
There Will Never Be a 'Back to the Future' Sequel or Reboot
It's almost surprising at this point that there has not been a 'Back to the Future' reboot or sequel. When you look back at the popular and successful properties of the 80s, there are few that haven't been modernized. Sony is practically falling all over themselves to get a new 'Ghostbusters' in theaters. This year alone saw new 'RoboCop,' 'Muppets,' 'Ninja Turtles,' 'Jump Street' and 'Transformers' movies. But, despite the frequency of these remakes, it doesn't look like you'll ever see a new 'Back to the Future' movie. And, that's a pretty great thing.
Original 'Ghostbusters' Star Thinks Female-Led Reboot is a Bad Idea
Most of us have felt that a 'Ghostbusters' sequel/reboot is a bad idea for a long time. In fact, so many people have thought it's a bad idea that Sony Pictures had a hard time finding anyone to even work on it (Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg turned the project down multiple times). But, when it was announced that Paul Feig would be directing a female-led 'Ghostbusters' movie, we had to at least respect that they were trying something different instead of just another tired sequel. Unfortunately not everyone feels that way, including original Ghostbuster Ernie Hudson.
Adam Sandler Signs Deal to Star in Four Original Netflix Movies
Hot off the heels of their partnership with The Weinstein Co. to release their first original feature film ('Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon 2'), Netflix has announced yet another deal that will bring original movies to their subscription service. The company has just announced a deal with Adam Sandler for the exclusive rights to four upcoming movies that the comedian will star in and produce.
'Avengers 3′ to Be Split Into Two Films?
With 'Avengers 2' over seven months away, it seems a little premature to already be talking about 'Avengers 3' rumors, but this one was too big and too crazy to ignore. A recent report claims that Marvel - following in the footsteps of 'The Hobbit' and 'The Hunger Games' - is looking to split 'Avengers 3' into two films that would be released in back-to-back years.
Celebrate 'Ghostbusters' 30th Anniversary With Stay Puft Marshmallow Donuts at Krispy Kreme
There are a few ways you could celebrate the 30th anniversary of 'Ghostbusters'. You could watch the film again with the new 30th Anniversary Edition Blu-ray. You could sing Bobby Brown's "On Our Own" at karaoke. Or, you could gorge yourself on sweet 'Ghostbusters' inspired donuts at Krispy Kreme. (We choose the latter.)
'Batman vs. Superman' Release Date Moved Up to Avoid Marvel's 'Captain America 3′
With 'Batman vs. Superman' going up against 'Captain America 3' on the same date (May 6, 2016), you knew one of them would have to move, and now one of them has. After seeing what Marvel was able to do with 'Guardians of the Galaxy' this past weekend (over $94 million), Warner

Recipe delivery services Blue Apron, Plated and HelloFresh: Are they worth it? (w/ video)03/23/15Cooking
For good and bad, it was the single sage leaf in a zipped plastic bag that caught my attention.
I was spending a day in my kitchen testing recipe delivery services Blue Apron, HelloFresh and Plated, companies that deliver preportioned ingredients to your doorstep along with instructions on how to turn them into dinner.
The lone sage leaf exemplified the benefits and pitfalls of these kinds of online services, which aim to help with dreaded weekly meal planning and encourage healthier eating at home. The national startups, founded about three years ago, are some of the biggest players on the recipe delivery scene. (Peach Dish, based in Atlanta, has been another notable contender since 2013.) Blue Apron and HelloFresh each ship more than a million meals per month, and in early March, Plated announced it was going to start offering its meals in retail stores around Chicago....
Cook hack: Peel garlic cloves using a jar03/23/15Cooking
Peeling garlic: As much as I love eating garlic, that's how much I hate peeling the cloves. It takes forever, gets under your fingernails and leaves the tips of your fingers smelling like garlic for days. So I'm always looking for easier ways to do it. This method may be the best yet. All you need is a glass jar with a lid (or you could get creative and use two bowls stacked on top of each other to form a dome of sorts). If you're going with the jar, here's how it's done: Break two or three garlic cloves off the bulb with your hands or a knife, making sure to get any excess papery peel off, then throw them into the jar. Put the lid on, then shake the jar vigorously. Ten seconds should be plenty of time. The friction will encourage the peel off, leaving you with smooth, bare cloves. ...
'Better Call Saul' roundtable: Thoughts on episode 7, 'Bingo'03/17/15 Blog
Chris: Well that was fun!
What a great episode, Mike's apple-chow-down break-in scene a highlight of the season so far, like something out of a Steven Soderbergh movie, complete with funky soundtrack and panache to burn.
I know this ep featured two things that haven't really struck your fancy so far, Michelle - the Kettlemans and Jimmy's relationship with Kim. But I think both storylines coalesced beautifully here, adding depth and nuance to Jimmy's character. Another little thing I noticed: While Jimmy was thumbing through his law books in search of embezzlement, he first flipped through the entry electricity - perhaps a reference to Chuck, his strange illness and his efforts to overcome it. Throw in Jimmy's clever little trick leaving the files behind for Chuck to review, and the show seems to be striking at the theme of pondering whether questionable means can justify the ends....
Sheet pan meals: A simple, flavorful way to get dinner on the table fast03/16/15Cooking
The dream dinner after a long, cold day of cubicles and commutes is something warm, simple and fast. A dish that's easy to cook and to clean up, and scrumptious enough to satisfy your soul.
Enter the sheet pan meal, a new spin on the one-pot meals Martha Stewart helped popularize in which various ingredients are thrown into a pot and come out a complete home-cooked meal.
Sheet pan dinners take the concept a step further in terms of flavor and versatility: Meats and veggies alike develop divine flavor from roasting and broiling. Half an hour in a high-temperature oven can do wonders for everything from carrots and sweet potatoes to chicken legs and salmon. ...

Cook hack: Preserve lemons now for intense flavor later03/16/15Cooking
PRESERVED LEMONS: Make a batch of preserved lemons now, and a month later you'll be glad you did. The finished product can be used in a wide range of dishes (they're popular in Moroccan recipes) to add instant, unexpected zing and intense lemon flavor. And the best part is they keep for a long time (hence the name!), so they're useful in a pinch. Here's how to preserve your own lemons: Place a cup of salt in a bowl. Use just enough of the salt to coat 6 quartered lemons, then place them in a 1-quart canning jar. Add the rest of the salt and 1 cup of lemon juice. Cover the jar and shake lightly to get rid of any air bubbles. Uncover the jar and add more lemon juice, enough to reach the lip. Leave for 3 to 4 days, then open the jar and press the lemons down, adding fresh lemon juice to cover them entirely again. Close the jar, place in a cool place and forget about it for a month or more; the longer they sit the more flavorful they will be. To use, remove from the jar and rinse the lemon under water to get rid of the salt. The peel, not the pulp, is the part that usually gets used, a shaving here and there in risotto, or on chicken, or mixed with olives. ...
My Outfit Monday: Bring on spring (and floral dresses)03/16/15 Blog
For my first My Outfit Monday, I'm going to break the rules and share my outfit from Saturday. That's because I got to rock a new Banana Republic dress this weekend that I'd probably never wear for a normal workday. The occasion: A media preview for an HSN cooking event at the swanky new Sea Salt restaurant in downtown St. Petersburg's Sundial complex. Because this is St. Pete, I could have gotten away with far less glam (there were flip-flops in the crowd, people), but to me this was the perfect reason to take this dress for a spin....

A couple weeks ago I wrote about my love for Ipsy, the makeup subscription service. I find 80 percent of the products they send useful and practical and lovely.

'Better Call Saul' roundtable: Thoughts on Episode 6, 'Five-O' (a.k.a. the one about Mike)03/10/15 Blog
While Sean is off trying to make himself look more like Matlock, Chris and Michelle take on the latest episode of Better Call Saul, "Five-O," focused on the one and only Mike Ehrmantraut.
"He put me on a pedestal and I had to show him I was down in the gutter with the rest of them." - Mike
Michelle: Excuse me, Chris, while I continue to mop up the tears from last night's Better Call Saul. By far the show's most meaningful episode yet, "Five-O" is an excellent showcase for Jonathan Banks' Mike and a triumph for the show in terms of weaving the longtime Breaking Bad character's fascinating backstory into the Jimmy McGill-centric dramedy we've been watching so far. If this is an indication of what Saul can do as a TV show, I'm definitely all in....
Cook Hack: Extra broth? Grab the ice cube trays03/09/15Cooking
Keep leftover broth in ice cube trays: Leftover broth is inevitable in my fridge, whether it's because I used a leftover turkey carcass to make 8 cups of a homemade batch or because the rice dish I made for dinner only called for half of the amount in the carton. The other thing that's inevitable? Forgetting to use the broth before its seven- to 10-day use-by period. Here's an easy way to store it in the freezer so it keeps longer: Use ice cube trays. Pour any leftover broth into ice cube trays; one 32-ounce carton will fill roughly two 16-cube trays. After filling trays with broth, place into the freezer overnight. Once they're frozen, pop a couple of cubes out as needed while cooking. Or pop all of the cubes out into a large freezer-safe container or zip-top bag and freeze that way, grabbing as you need. ...
'Better Call Saul' Roundtable: Here Comes Mike03/03/15 Blog
Sex toilets aside, Episode 5 of Better Call Saul went to a very dark place at the end of its hour on Monday -- and that place is called Mike's House. Ooooh, Breaking Bad chills! Herewith, our resident weekly Saulers (Sean Daly, Michelle Stark, Chris Tisch) gush, debate and predict how the AMC hit show will unfurl as it creeps into the (hopefully twisted) second-half of its debut season...
SEAN: You guys are gonna eye-roll at me again (or maybe you never stopped), but I realized my affections for Better Call Saul were approaching Breaking Bad-ish intensity last night when I kept peeking at my clock to see how much time was left. I wanted more, to cram two hours into one. But I also felt that giddy-nervous stir when it blinked to 10:50 p.m. That's Vince Gilligan's magic window, always has been. All inventive, never-saw-it-coming hell would break loose on BB in the closing ticks; it does with Saul & Co. too. And Ep 5 finally, thankfully took us into a dark storm cloud, with fixer Mike (who loves his granddaughter -- and considers killing everyone else) finally seeing his story arc creak open. We might be happy about it -- but he sure isn't. Actor Jonathan Banks is the master of the deadpan deathstare; so much going on in that smooth-pated terrifying dome. The ex-cop is casing someone (hey Michelle, is that his daughter?) and the cops don't like it. Presumably, Mike is gonna call on Saul, and that's how America's Bittersweethearts will start doing business together....
Cook Hack: a recipe for making compound butter03/02/15Cooking
Compound butter: Here's an easy way to impress dinner party guests and add instant flavor to veggies and roasted chicken: compound butter. It's a scientific-sounding term for flavored butter, and it's endlessly customizable; all you need is a stick of butter and anything from chopped herbs or grated lime to jalapeno or paprika. Here's a starter recipe: Place 1 stick of softened butter, 2 cloves minced garlic and 1 tablespoon each finely chopped fresh oregano leaves, fresh chives and fresh rosemary leaves in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Mix well, then transfer to a piece of parchment or wax paper. Roll butter in parchment to form a log, then twist ends to seal. Refrigerate for a couple of hours until firm....
5 cooking ideas for cauliflower: soup, steaks, tabbouleh, more03/02/15Cooking
Cauliflower is certainly the most glamorous member of the cabbage family right now. The cruciferous veggie has been dubbed the next kale of 2015 and is popping up on restaurant menus resembling everything from tabbouleh to buffalo chicken. • It's a good thing, too, because unlike a bitter, leafy green, cauliflower is extremely versatile. The white florets can be used raw, steamed, roasted, grilled, even pulverized in a food processor. In Florida, cauliflower is produced during the winter months and typically most abundant January through March, which means it's time to stock up on a couple of heads and start experimenting. These five recipes vary wildly in flavor and texture, but in each of them, cauliflower is undoubtedly the star....

Ipsy: Is the makeup subscription service worth it?02/25/15 Blog
I've never been great with makeup: Where to buy it, what kind to buy, how to apply it. It wasn't until the past two years or so that I started to realize the benefits of spending more than $6 on powder or concealer (hello, better-looking skin!), of stocking up on quality essentials instead of another cheap purple eyeshadow. I splurged on Bare Minerals face products, which are ideal for my sensitive skin and contain SPF because we're not 19 years old anymore; I'm the proud owner (like, maybe too proud) of an Urban Decay Naked eyeshadow palette that I apply daily....

Border bust: heroin in bra
Presidio — U.S. Customs and Border Protection Office of Field Operations officers working at the Presidio port of entry seized 290 grams of heroin. The drugs were concealed within the bra of an Odessa woman.
"This is a significant amount of heroin to be stopped at the border," said CBP Presidio Port Director David Lambix. "The work of CBP stopped more than 10 ounces of heroin from making it to its intended destination."
The seizure was made just after 8 p.m. Monday when a 2010 Ford F-150 truck entered the port from Mexico. CBP officers selected the vehicle for a secondary exam. CBP drug sniffing dog "Izmir" initiated an inspection and made a positive alert to the driver of the truck. CBP officers prepared to begin a search of the driver when she turned over two bundles of heroin she had concealed in her bra. The contents of the bundles tested positive for heroin.
The driver and a passenger were arrested by CBP officers. The driver is identified as 37-year-old Blanca Liliana Madrid of Odessa, Texas. The passenger was 34-year-old Rigoberto Huerta Madrid, who is the driver's spouse. Both were turned over to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents. Federal prosecution was accepted on charges associated with the failed smuggling attempt.

Life-Lessons of Go: "If life is a game of go. I wish I (could) place my first move again." (Go Spotting: "Go Stone" Tweet 2/22 EJ) "And that is the life-lesson of go," writes Terry Benson. "We don't get to play our first stone again. As in sports, we have to 'suck it up' and look for the next best move with our mistakes glaringly in full view. Go 'is' life."
Did Go Save Edward Lasker's Life? "What I find most remarkable about Lasker's story (Go Spotting: Lasker's "Chess Secrets I learned from the Masters" 2/23 EJ) is that one can argue that go saved Lasker's life," writes Vernon Leighton. "Out of college, Lasker worked for a multinational German corporation. He wanted to be transferred to the Japan unit so that he could study go. His company said that he had to be fluent in English to work in Japan. He got a transfer to England to work on his English. WWI broke out and he was jailed as an enemy national. He was transferred to the United States, where he settled and lived the rest of his life. Had he not been in England, he might have been drafted into the German army and killed in a trench in France. Therefore, go may have saved his life."

The 2015 edition of the Iwamoto Awards has gone global. "Thanks to internet and social media, the world has become smaller, so we think it is time to invite people on a global scale to submit go promotion projects," says Harry van der Krogt of the European Go Centre, which organizes the awards, supported by the European Go Federation and the Nihon Ki-in. "So many people are trying so many things these days," says AGA president Andy Okun, who's serving on the awards jury. "I think it is great we are giving them rewards, encouragement and incentives to keep to at it." Now called the World Wide Iwamoto Awards, the contest – with €2,000 in prizes — is named in honor of Iwamoto Kaoru, who devoted much of his career to promoting go around the world. The goal is to motivate go players "to think about how go can be promoted," organizers say, so that "through the gathering and exchange of ideas it can lead to a higher quality of popularization of go all over the world." A top prize of €1,000 will be awarded, and two "encouragement" prizes of €500 each will also be awarded; click here to see examples of previous winners. Deadline for submitting proposals is June 1, 2015; click here for criteria/rules and to apply online.
The 2014 American Go Foundation College Scholarship winners are Amy Su of Bridgewater, New Jersey and Leon Lei of Bardonia, New York, AGF President Terry Benson announced. "We had nine applicants this year, more than ever, and all of them worthy candidates," Benson said. "For the first time, students included school-related assignments as part of their applications; one winner's paper was favorably received at a regional competition. Another applicant tried to measure the impact of go instruction on school performance. It's great to see students exploring the mathematical, psychological and other intricacies of go in their schoolwork."
The AGF awards two scholarships of $1000 each year to " high school students who have served as important youth organizers and promoters for the Go community," according to the AGF website. College-bound US citizens are encouraged to apply in the fall by submitting an application form and an essay; the scholarships are awarded in November.
Amy Su 5D of Bridgewater NJ was already an experienced tournament competitor when at age 12 she "decided to change my relationship with go. Instead of playing for my own satisfaction, I chose to devote my time to teaching others about the game, to give them a chance to discover the art, and for me to pass on my enthusiasm for the game. I learned to teach by watching my mother [Feng Yun 9P] teach at her go school." After starting go classes in two different Chinese schools, Amy became active in The American Go Honor Society, where she is now serving as Promotion Head. "Teaching Go [has] given me leadership, mentoring, and speaking skills," Amy wrote in her essay. "It taught me patience, and how to encourage others to learn. As a student, it taught me how to think and use logic. It changed me as a thinker, a dreamer, an artist."
Leon Lei 10K learned go at the The Huaxia Chinese School in White Plains, NY from Ms. Tang Jie 4D. After bitterly grieving his early losses, Leon "realized that much more can be gained from a lost game than an excess pile of teardrops," going on to win his school's tournament two years in a row. " When he graduated from Chinese school, which had grown to more than 40 students, he stayed on as an assistant teacher, while also starting a club at his high school. He also submitted a paper, "Go and Mathematics", to The Greater New York Math Fair, where it gained entry into the second round of competition. Leon explored the question of how to calculate the number of possible go games, noting that it is far larger than commonly thought. Many calculations only consider the number of possible arrangements of stones on the board, but he noted that the stones can also appear in any order; any single ending position accounts for thousands of possible games. Leon's paper and other school-friendly resources are available on the AGF's Lesson Plan Cooperative.
The AGF College Scholarship recognizes high school students who have served as important youth organizers and promoters for the Go community. Juniors and seniors who plan to attend college and believe they meet the criteria are encouraged to apply by November 1 of each year. Scholarships may be awarded to one male and one female applicant based on merit. "If we continue receiving so many applications of such high quality, we may need to increase the budget for scholarships," Benson said. — reprinted from SENSEI: The American Go Foundation Newsletter.

"When I was reading the book 'Chess Secrets I learned from the Masters,' Edward Lasker's semi-autobiographical book, I found that weiqi/go is mentioned in the introduction and in the middle of the book," writes Xinming Simon Guo. "To my surprise, his go story covers two and half pages in the 6-page introduction." Lasker and a friend had learned go's rules from a magazine. "To our amusement, the game was called a 'competitor' of chess," Lasker writes. "But on closer examination we found the statement was well-founded, and we played Go at the slightest provocation."

Hinoki Press founder Chris Greene died last Friday. Greene, who had cancer, died at home in Libertyville, Illinois. He is survived by his wife, Vicky, and his daughters, Melissa and Elizabeth. "I was lucky enough to work with Chris doing a little copy editing on some of Hinoki's books, and found him to be a gentleman and a friend to the go community," said AGA president Andy Okun. "The books he published represent a lasting contribution to the game and its enjoyment."
A long-time go player, Greene started the go book publishing company in 2006 after retiring from his career as a programmer and published 18 go books before selling it late last year to Go Game Guru (Go Game Guru Buys Hinoki Press, Will Keep Titles in Print 11/12/2014 EJ). "Chris made an immense contribution to the body of English language go literature in a relatively short time," said Go Game Guru's David Ormerod. "He was incredibly modest about his achievements and stoic about his illness. When I last spoke to him, on Thursday, he was primarily concerned that the material that he'd worked hard to have translated and published in English remain available to future generations of go players. His motto for Hinoki Press was, 'always carry a go book in your hand.' We will miss our friend and fellow go player and will do everything we can to honor his wishes."
After a long period of low attendance, things are looking up for the Evanston Go Club. "The new location has sparked a lot of interest" says clubpresident Mark Rubenstein. "We started meeting at the new Starbucks in downtown Evanston (IL), and the response has been fantastic. Customers are showing an interest in the game, and we're teaching more beginners than ever! This week I was setting up a board and stones at an empty table. I went to get my opponent, and when I returned I saw that two college students had sat down at the board and started playing Go Moku. They didn't even know about the club!" Check out the club's website for more information.

Tim Kington, a software engineer at Fog Creek Software and 2-dan amateur go player, talks about go, Artificial Intelligence and attempts to create computer programs that can beat human players in "Go and Artificial Intelligence – Tech Talk," produced for his Fog Creek colleagues. Kington gives an overview of go, explains how to play it and why go AI is hard. He finishes by describing the progress so far with go AI programs and what the future is likely to hold. The post includes a handy guide to the talk's content and timing so viewers can jump to the area of interest, as well as a written transcript.
"On your site, you've posted a poem about go by Jorge Luis Borges, and asked about his connection to the game (Go Spotting: Jorge Luis Borges on "the astrological game of Go" 10/1/2012 EJ)," writes Scott Enderle. "I am not currently aware of any direct connection, but I think it's worth mentioning that Borges' writings explored the idea of combinatorial explosion more deeply than perhaps any literary writer before or since. His story The Library of Babel is a particularly notable example — there's a fairly recent book about the mathematics behind it, William Goldbloom Bloch's The Unimaginable Mathematics of Borges' Library of Babel (click here for a review). So the connection as I see it is more conceptual than historical. I wouldn't be surprised to learn that Borges never actually played the game, but I imagine that he was immediately able to intuit some vague sense of its beauty because of his fascination with other sources of combinatorial complexity."
The Go Blog @thegoblognet recently tweeted some stills from the Korean go film "The Stone" (Go Spotting: New Korean Movie "The Stone" 11/28/2013 EJ). #baduk #weiqi #igo #囲碁 #바둑 #围棋 #gogame #moviestills ift.tt/1C98g3g .
1st US Go Congress, Not: "The group photo said to be of the 1st Go Congress in 1985 is not (Go Filmmakers Looking for US Go Congress Photos, Videos 2/16)," writes Michael Bull. "That photo predates the Congress and was taken in San Francisco, CA at one of the last of the East Coast/West Coast championships. The long time manager of the SF Go Club Shinji Dote is seated in the front and he never attended a US Go Congress, (he was unable to attend the 1999 Congress in SF because of poor health). The photo was taken by a SF Go Club regular known only as St. Clair."
The American Go Honor Society has announced the 2015 School Team Tournament (STT) will be held March 28 and April 4. "The STT is our annual flagship tournament, played in the classic Hikaru no Go team style where each school sends three representatives to compete against other schools," said AGHS Co-President Hugh Zhang. All matches will be played online, and schools from Canada, the US, and Mexico are all invited. As a new top prize this year, the American Go Foundation is offering full scholarships (tuition + room/board) to the AGA Summer Go Camp. All three members of the top dan and top kyu team will win the scholarships. Prizes will also be awarded in the other divisions, including $75 cash for first place, $50 for 2nd, and $25 for 3rd, as well as medals, and the stylish new AGHS T-Shirt pictured at right. This year's tournament will be held on March 28 and April 4. To register, fill out the form here, by March 20. More information may be found on the AGHS website. -Paul Barchilon, E-J Youth Editor.
We had the immense honor, here in Galway, to receive the visit of Matthew Macfadyen, 6 dan and 25 times UK champion.
The session was a busy one : we were having one of our not-so-usual-but-usual-anyway wine and go evening session at my home plus some students who were already practicing with me in their school who decided to join the evening club plus some new beginners and finally Matthew and his wife Kirsty who joined out of the blue. Altogether, 17 players took place around gobans in the middle of glasses, tables, chairs, arms and legs, and it was cosy, and it was messy and it was absolutely great time ! Matthew played something like 14 games, with simultaneous games, commented games, and Kirsty teached some new beginners about the game. Their kindness and generosity brought a fabulous atmosphere to the evening and the Galway go club wanted to thank them deeply for their venue ! We are all going to play again and again so that for their next trip to Galway, Matthew will meet three or four 6 dans to compete with !

Iyama close to defending Kisei title: The third game of the 39th Kisei title match was held at the Bella Vista Sakaigahama Hotel in Onomichi City, Hiroshima Prefecture, on February 5 and 6. Yamashita Keigo 9P (right) held his own in the fighting and in fact finished the middle game with a slight edge over the titleholder, but he slipped up in the endgame. Playing black, Iyama Yuta Kisei secured a win by 1.5 points. This was his third successive win, so Yamashita will face his first kadoban in the fourth game. Fortunately for him, there is a two-week break, so he has time to recover mentally from his bad start. The game will be played on February 19 and 20.
Ida to challenge for Judan title: The play-off to decide the challenger for the 53rd Judan title was held at the Nihon Ki-in in Ichigaya, Tokyo, on February 5. Playing black, Ida Atsushi 8P (left) defeated Kobayashi Satoru 9P by resignation after 137 moves. The title match with Takao Shinji will start on March 5. This will be Ida's second challenge for a top-seven title.
Meijin League: The February round, which is the third round, of the 40th Meijin League has already been completed. The two undefeated players, Takao Shinji Tengen and Ko Iso 8P, both lost their games, so there is now a four-way tie for first. Takao and Ko are joined by Cho U 9P and Murakawa Daisuke Oza. Third-round results are given below.
(February 5) Cho U (B) beat Takao Shinji by resig.; Kono Rin 9P (W) beat Kanazawa Makoto 7P by resig.
(February 9) Murakawa Daisuke (W) beat Hane Naoki 9P by resig.
(February 12) So Yokoku 9P (B) beat Ko Iso by resig.
Honinbo League: Yamashita Keigo 9P is keeping up the pressure on the leader of the 70th Honinbo League, Ida Atsushi 8P. Yamashita won his fifth-round game, so he goes to 4-1. Ida is undefeated and will meet Kono Rin 9P (right) in the fifth round on February 19. Cho U 9P also won his fifth-round game and, on 3-2, is next in line. Both Yamashita and Cho have already lost to Ida, so they have to rely on other players to pull him back.
(February 12) Cho U 9P (W) beat Takao Shinji Tengen by resig.; Yamashita Keigo (W) beat Mimura Tomoyasu 9P by 3.5 points.
To 8-dan: Rin Shien (150 wins)
To 4-dan: (Ms.) Kim Hyon-jon (50 wins)
"The rare, post-fermented tea called Goishicha is made in the town of Ōtoyo in the mountains of central Kochi Prefecture on the island of Shikoku," according to the Yunomi tea website. "The name, goishicha (碁石茶), is taken from the Japanese game Igo because the tea is reminiscent of the stones used in the game." "I haven't tasted this," says Richard Simon, who passed this along. "It may not be everyone's cup of tea."
Irish Go Congress: On February 6 to 8, the Irish Go Congress took place in Gresham Hotel, Dublin. For the first time, it featured a Chinese Chess tournament alongside the traditional Confucius Cup (Irish Open) and Irish Rapid Play. Chinese guests from the Go and Chinese Chess organisations attended, including 7p Go professionals Hua Xueming and Huang Yizhong. The winner of the main event, the Confucius Cup, was Kim Young-Sam, and the Friday night Irish Rapid was won by Oh Chi-Min 7d.
Alistair Wall Wins Largest Cheshire Tournament: Alistair Wall 2d beat the previous winner, Mark Elliot (1d Manchester), in the last round of the Cheshire Tournament, thus winning first place. Tony Pitchford and Tony Atkins organized the event. 34 people attended in total.

"Narrator distracting"
I read these books year ago and thought they were great. Listening to them, I found the narrator to add little to the story, even frequently distracting me, with little variation in her voice characterizations. The story is unique and worth listening to, but I didn't find it as gripping as the book and can't recommend the narrator. I'm glad to have refreshed my memory about the story line but won't listen to it again.

Spiced mince
To serve
To make the hummus, blend all ingredients, adding a little more lemon juice or water until you have the right consistency (like a smooth, spreadable paste). Season to taste.
For the mince, heat the olive oil over medium heat and cook the onions for 5 minutes. Add the baharat and stir well. Cook for another couple of minutes then add the mince. Break it up with a wooden spoon and cook, stirring regularly for about 10 minutes.
To serve, spread the hummus on a large platter, top with the mince, sprinkle with pine nuts and parsley and serve with flat bread on the side.
