Russell Davies: London 2012 proves reflective telly and honest people exist
By Russell Davies, campaignlive.co.uk, Thursday, 13 September 2012 08:00AM
This might get annoying.
I apologise, but I'm going to write about the Olympics and Paralympics again. Partly because it was so damn good and I can't get anything else into my head, and partly because this was a big, big media moment and we should all be poring over it in enormous detail, sucking every last morsel of inspiration and invention from it. We've just had the world's biggest media R&D experiment in our backyard and we should be taking careful note of the results. Here are a couple of thoughts that struck me.
There is something real, interesting and potent in "ambient TV" or "slow TV". We've discussed it before - things like the camera stuck on the front of a train crossing Siberia - but it started to really make sense to me during the long days of having the Olympics and Paralympics on in the background. An abundance of TV - cameras pointing at everything and no "attentional priorities" make things different in the same way the web's abundance of connections makes things different. Not everything has to be a highlight, not everything has to be montaged. There's value in the quiet glimpse behind the scenes, watching an athlete adjusting their blocks, watching a javelin trundle back to the thrower, watching a crowd yawning and stretching.
Possibly not the value you would need to support all that massive TV infrastructure, but it's not nothing. It's worth thinking about. TV doesn't all have to be "lean forward" and radio has done some great things with that kind of attention - some great creative things and some effective commercial things. If we only think of TV as the big production value stuff, the shiny floors and expensive scripts, then we're probably doomed just to stretch it more thinly over more channels. But if we can rethink what it means, make it quieter, more reflective, more observational, less needy, then there might be other interesting opportunities.
And remember user-created content? How about crowdsourcing? Remember how we all agreed it was rubbish and never produced anything of value? LOCOG has just proved us wrong. It crowdsourced 70,000 volunteers who, many people felt, were the best bit of the whole thing. And it wasn't about newfangled apps or challenging their creativity or even about the chance to win a prize. It was about the chance to participate and contribute to something memorable and important. I suspect the most important thing to note here was the honesty involved - there was no bait-and-switch with the volunteers, LOCOG was very clear that lots of them weren't going to do anything particularly fun. But it worked and the honesty and the spirit of the thing translated into something powerful.
Lots to examine, lots to think about.

Sophos Anti-Virus is Stanford's site-licensed anti-malware software. It can protect your computer against viruses, adware/spyware, and other malicious software.
System requirements
- Supported Operating Systems: Mac OS X 10.7 and above
- Hardware: Intel-based Macs (32-bit and 64-bit)
- Disk Space: 150 MB free
- Memory: 512 MB
- Under certain settings, Sophos scans all archives and compressed files on startup of an application. This makes scanning significantly slower. To configure Sophos to exclude archives and compressed files from its scans when launching applications, disable the Scan: Inside archives and compressed files option in the Sophos Preferences (located on the On-access Scanning panel under the Options tab).
- If you have an antivirus program other than Norton AntiVirus 10 installed on your computer, you must manually uninstall it before installing Sophos Anti-Virus.
- Sophos Anti-Virus updates itself automatically so your version of the program and the virus definitions are always up-to-date.
- Users who back up their Mac to Apple's Time Capsule product have reported that Sophos will significantly slow down backups in its default configuration. Time Capsule users should disable the Scan: Files on network volumes option in the Sophos Preferences (located on the On-access Scanning panel under the Options tab) while running their backup to avoid this problem.

Political Pulse: 07.06.08
CORPUS CHRISTI - Democratic poll workers must wait for the dough
Some Democratic Party supporters who worked in the 126 Nueces County precincts during the primary election are ruffled that they still have not received paychecks.
Newly elected party chairwoman Lucy Rubio has been fielding grumpy calls and wants answers.
"I just want people to get paid, but I don't even have the roster of workers," Rubio said Thursday.
Former party chairman Alex Garcia, whom Rubio defeated in an April runoff, said Thursday that he submitted a final calculation that includes pay for poll workers about seven weeks ago.
Each political party gets money from the Texas Secretary of State to administer primary elections and that money is used to pay for polling places and to pay poll workers at each precinct. Party chairs submit a budget that is plugged into a formula set by the state, and some of the assessed amount is paid in advance to use for rent or office space and administration overhead. After the election another report with final calculations is sent to the state for approval.
It generally takes several months for all of the state's receipts to be tallied, math checked, and funds divvied, said officials at the Texas Secretary of State office. The process also was compounded by state-required form changes.
Garcia said Thursday that he submitted a final calculation, which included pay for poll workers, about seven weeks ago.
"Once the runoff is complete and all the bills come in from the county clerk it gets submitted," he said. "We did have a delay to resubmit one assessment from the clerk's office that wasn't on the right state form."
The Democratic dough will roll in soon, Garcia promised.
'Chrobo' has change of heart in city race
At the Del Mar College Board of Regents meeting Tuesday, Del Mar Regent Haysam Dawod ushered around James Chrobocinski, who until recently was planning to run in this spring's Corpus Christi City Council race.
Chrobocinski, who ran unsuccessfully for an at-large seat on the council in 2007, recently said he was considering a run for the District 4 seat occupied by Michael McCutchon.
Turns out that "Chrobo," as he is affectionately known, has changed his mind about running for District 4 and instead will focus on an at-large spot on the Del Mar regents board in November.
"Yes, I'm running for Del Mar," he said Tuesday.
That was good news for Chris Adler, the chair of the Del Mar regents who plans to challenge McCutchon in District 4.
"We are cheered by that news," Adler's campaign spokesman Fred Dotts said. "The fewer candidates there are in that race allow the voters to have a clear choice. In District 4 last year, there were so many candidates it really muddied the water."
The regents with seats up for grabs in November are Dawod, Bill Martin, Gabe Rivas and Guy Watts.
Adler's look-alike Oscar is no wiener
After Tuesday's meeting, Adler was visiting with audience members when fellow Regent Elva Estrada, just back from Los Angeles, pulled a surprise for Adler out of her purse.
"For the wonderful job you do for us," Estrada said, bestowing Adler with a gold Oscar look-alike statue with "Chris" emblazoned across the front.
"I've always wanted an Oscar!" Adler said, showing off the statuette.
Standing at Adler's shoulder admiring the prize, Dawod grinned.
"My first Oscar was a wiener on a bun," he said.
Garrett committed to run for final term
Mayor Henry Garrett said a couple of weeks ago that the only way he wouldn't run for re-election was if his friend Port of Corpus Christi Chairman Ruben Bonilla stepped in to run.
Last week, Garrett said he is "absolutely, positively determined to run for a final term," regardless of who else runs.
Bonilla, reached at his office Thursday, said he is a firm supporter of Garrett, but he wouldn't rule out a run for mayor.
"All options are available," Bonilla said. "Everything is on the table."
Judge Rainey offers some sound advice
During Citgo's sentencing hearing on Tuesday in federal court, Federal District Judge John Rainey gave sound advice.
Mark Cheesman, Citgo's environmental manager, testified for the defense and stepped down from the stand almost two hours later.
Before Cheesman left the courtroom, lead prosecutor Howard Stewart reminded him about the documents he had been asked to present to the court. After the small list was read, Cheesman asked if that was all.
"Yes, and you had better leave before they think of something else," said Rainey, half laughing.
RTA director tones down PowerPoints
RTA Chairwoman Crystal Lyons read a resolution during Wednesday's board meeting thanking David Seiler, the organization's director of operations who has retired to spend more time with his family.
As he turned toward the podium to address the board, he checked his jacket pockets.
"I think I've got a PowerPoint here," said Seiler, causing the board, RTA staff and guests to laugh and clap.
Seiler, known for his undying devotion to PowerPoint presentations, admitted they had gotten smaller with time.
"I was with the city when I set the record for the most number of slides," said Seiler, the city of Corpus Christi's former traffic engineer. "I think it was 70-something. (Former City Manager) David Garcia got really mad at me that time."
Finance manager has her priorities
When Lyons got to item 12 on the agenda, she called RTA finance manager Susan Vinson to present information on amending the 2008 budget.
Vinson got up from her seat slowly and walked to the podium. On the way, she stopped to quench her thirst.
Lyons began speaking before realizing Vinson wasn't at the microphone.
"Sorry. I needed a drink," Vinson said.
"Of water," added board member Sara Salvide.

The question is whether Netanyahu believes that he can wriggle his way out of serious peace negotiations once again.
You can physicalize your desire to probe and to confront and not allow someone to wriggle out of things.
And most of us felt compelled to find a witty repartee while trying to wriggle out of his clutches.
late 15c., from Middle Low German wrigglen "to wriggle," from Proto-Germanic *wrig-, *wreik- "to turn" (see wry). Related to Old English wrigian "to turn, incline, go forward."

Dartmouth's Tuck School Launches New Center for Business & Society
Jul 17, 2012 | 0 comments
At the start of this month, the Tuck School of Business transformed its Allwin Initiative for Corporate Citizenship into a new Center for Business & Society, Tuck Dean Paul Danos announced last week.
The new center extends the efforts of the Allwin Initiative, created with a named gift by James Allwin T'76 in February 2002. The center has been designed to prepare Tuck students for leadership in an increasingly complex, interconnected world.
"The goal of this center is to ensure that every Tuck student will graduate with a deep, intellectual understanding of the role of business in society, a strong appreciation for principled, ethical behavior and a keen desire to work for a better world," Danos said in a statement.
The new center will bring together alumni and business leaders to serve as resources to students who are investigating best practices and current thinking on topics including corporate social responsibility, environmental sustainability, social entrepreneurship and community involvement.
Continuing the Allwin tradition of offering students both classroom and experiential learning opportunities, the center will host speakers, develop projects for academic credit, give students opportunities to make an impact locally and globally, offer financial support for internships and jobs in the nonprofit and public sectors, support new cases and courses, host executive programs and enable faculty research.
"We gratefully acknowledge the support of the Allwin Family who has enabled this transition," Danos added.
Senior Associate Dean Robert Hansen will serve as faculty director of the new center, and Professors John Vogel and Rick Shreve will serve as associate faculty directors.

Georgia man faces charges after waving pellet gun outside bar | Crime
Witnesses described a chaotic scene on a porch outside of a bar on Blair Street late Wednesday night.
Police said patrons were sitting outside when a man who had been kicked out of the Up North Pub earlier in the night returned and was waving a handgun.
Somebody shout, "Dude's got a gun," police said.
People began ducking and running, fearing they were about to be shot, police said.
Instead, the man, identified as Joshua P. Turner, 23, left the area, police said.
A short time prior to the incident, he and his girlfriend had been asked to leave the tavern following a minor disturbance, according to bar officials.
Officers were able to find Turner a short time later in the area. They said a pellet gun was found inside the couple's car.

Accreditation Home
Welcome to the Peralta Accreditation site. Here you will find documents supporting our accreditation efforts.
The Peralta Colleges (Berkeley City College, College of Alameda, Laney College, and Merritt College) are accredited by the Accrediting Commission for Community and Junior College of the Western Association of Schools and Colleges, 10 Commercial Blvd., Suite 204, Novato, CA 94949, 415.506.0234, an institutional accrediting body recognized by the Commission on Recognition of Postsecondary Accreditation and the U.S. Department of Education.
The four Peralta Colleges are approved by the Office of the Chancellor of the California Community Colleges and are fully accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC), the recognized local accrediting agency which is affiliated with the Federation of Regional Accrediting Commissions of Higher Education. The Office of Private Postsecondary Education also approves the four Peralta Colleges to offer courses to U.S. Veterans for collection of veterans' benefits.
Each institution affiliated with the Accrediting Commission for Community and Junior Colleges accepts the obligation to undergo periodic evaluation through Institutional Self Evaluation (self study) and professional peer review. The heart of this obligation is the conducting of a rigorous Institutional Self Evaluation during which an institution appraises itself in terms of its stated purposes. A Comprehensive Institutional Self Evaluation is required every six years following initial accreditation. A Midterm Report is required three years after the Comprehensive Institutional Self Evaluation.

Photo greeting cards created by Iowa 4-H'er.
AMES, Iowa--Brettyn Grover likes to take photos, hundreds of photos. In fact, the Howard County 4-H'er has so many "good" photos that she decided to turn them into greeting cards.
Brettyn's photo greeting cards were a hit at a recent silent auction, which raised more than $1,000 for the county 4-H program at the Howard County Fair. Following that success, she decided to make a similar donation, this time to the Iowa 4-H Foundation, which will have its first online auction, running through both the Iowa State Fair and the Clay County Fair (August 9 to September 16).
Proceeds from the auction will help support the Iowa State University Extension 4-H Youth Development program.
Online shoppers can see Brettyn's photo creations at http://www.ebay.com by searching i4h. Fairgoers also can see the cards at the 4-H Exhibits Building, located in the southwest corner of the fairgrounds, during the state fair. Brettyn created a visual arts exhibit to share how she makes the photo cards.
The cards are one of a long list of items donated for the Iowa 4-H Foundation's online auction. The list even has a 2007 Volkswagen Beetle convertible and two 2008 NASCAR tickets up for grabs. Fairgoers can see the items and place bids online at the foundation's booth in the 4-H Exhibits Building, using computers available at the booth.
Brettyn, who enters eighth grade this fall, enlisted the aid of her younger sister and mother in setting up her greeting card line, which the threesome dubbed, Grover Girls Galleria . The auction prize includes photo cards featuring subjects shot at events such as a Cruise to Cresco car show, a horse show and a drive in the country. As part of the prize, the threesome also will produce up to 50 original cards, using digital photos supplied by the auction winner. Brettyn's mother, Vanette Grover, who is a 4-H youth development specialist with ISU Extension, said her girls wouldn't mind if the greeting cards turned into a small enterprise. "They save their sheep money (another 4-H project) for their college funds and would add any income earned from the cards to those funds as well."
Vanette also said that the greeting card project is an example of how "the 4-H method helps young people. They learn to set a goal and develop a plan to work toward that goal. They can get past early frustration because they take small steps toward a larger goal." -30-

Originally written on Celtics Life | Last updated 6/15/13
Bombshell from the Herald's Steve Bulpett, one of the foremost Doc insiders on the Celtics beat. Bulpett is saying that with clear interest on both sides, a deal is being discussed that would send Doc to the Clippers, with players being involved. From the article. With some clear mutual interest having been established, the situation has progressed to the point where the Celtics and Clippers are now engaging in talks involving Doc Rivers and players. Sources told the Herald today that, while there are still many moving parts in the process, there is now significant impetus from both sides to find common ground. Beyond finding agreement on players to be included, the likelihood that an agreement can be reached is hindered by the general collective bargaining rules regarding player trades, which can tend to make major moves a difficult needle to thread. The compensation for Rivers would, in a strict sense, be draft picks, but his imprint would be on the player transaction, as w...

No Trent, the organization of the browns let you down by drafting you. I wish you could have went to a city that deserves your talents. cleveland is the gutter of all sports cities and it was obvious how they treated London Fletchers family, all because the Redskins beat the lowly sorry browns.
Originally written on Waiting For Next Year | Last updated 12/16/12
Trent Richardson had a few choice words about the way the team played today in Cleveland. He kept it respectful and said a lot of the right things, but you have to wonder if just maybe he questions the gameplan that saw him carry the ball only twice in the second half of a game. (On if he was surprised by the way this game went after the team played so well the past three weeks)- "It's very surprising. The way we game planned for the whole week, we thought it was going to be a good outcome, but you've got games where some outrageous stuff happens. Today, we let ourselves down and we let the whole city of Cleveland down. Everybody, especially season ticket holders, I feel bad for them and I want to say as a man, I just want to come to them and apologize. This was the last home game. We were supposed to go out with a blast. It was a big ball game for us and we didn't do what we were supposed to do." [Related: Browns pounded by Cousins, Redskins in home finale]

During the last eight months of my father's life, he was in and out of hospitals and rehabilitation centers. I had flown in to see him again. When I arrived, he was sleeping and my brother said he was having a hard day. I sat by his side. When he woke, he didn't know who I was. This had never happened before. More
An Interview With Bert Hellinger
Martin: First, a question concerning the expression coined by you, "the orders of love." What does this mean? Bert: Order is that according to which something develops. A tree for instance develops according to an order. Otherwise it will not be a tree any longer. And yet every tree is different. Order isn't something static. It is a living principle. Love, of course, means here the relationship between humans. It also succeeds according to certain orders. When we know about these orders, our relationships succeed better. More
When I was approaching seventh grade, I realized I was an introvert. That summer, Omega Teen Camp (OTC) helped me find the social and outgoing part of myself and embrace it. OTC is a warm, open, and welcoming place. That made it really easy for me to just go up to someone and say, "Hi." There's no reason for pretense. There are no charades—you meet other campers and counselors and they're not afraid to be exactly who they are. Some of my closest friends, to this day, are people I met at camp. More
Compassion in action is paradoxical and mysterious. It is absolute, yet continually changing. It accepts that everything is happening exactly as it should, and it works with a full-hearted commitment to change. More

In practicing mindfulness, we can learn to effectively integrate different parts of the brain and mediate internal conflicts. There is a basic neuroscience concept, "Nerve cells that fire together, wire together." Due to recent findings of neural plasticity, which is the ability for the connections in our brains to change and adapt throughout our lives, we now understand that our brains can generate stronger and healthier neural connections based on our mental habits. More
When I showed up for Omega Teen Camp at the age of 15, I was overweight and introverted and I didn't have any friends. I guess you could say I came from a broken home. My parents divorced when I was 12, and after that, my motivation evaporated. I started doing poorly in school. I had serious issues with my father. And I didn't do the normal things kids do, like go to the park and play ball. Instead, I'd stand on the sidelines or draw or play video games. More
What does it mean to be a man or woman today? What will it mean in the future? How can we grow out of old roles that stifle us? How can we move from a culture of violence to a culture of care? How can we transcend what we have now to a world in which we can be fully human—together? More

One of the many great things about the TAT, is the great memories you'll have after doing the trip. It ranks up there with the top 2-3 things I've ever done. Doing a RR with pictures is a great way to remember the adventure. I did a short TAT, TN, MS and Ar, and found out I had forgotten a lot of the roads and sights.
Ride within your ability, as it's a long trip and crashing out by being stupid isn't something you'll want to experience. The goal is to finish speed isn't worth it...especially solo.
I'll tell you, one minute you can be moving right along all happy and content, but then wham someting can happen to change then whole trip. I had just gone over Marshal Pass, the 1st mountain pass...and just got on a short highway section then pow....the motor died and I coasted to a stop.......I'll tell you a lot of things go through your mind in a hurry..trip over....long way from home.....this is gonna be costly....etc. Luckily it was a relatively simple fix, noting a 20 mile tow and a day and 1/2 layover wouldn't cure. Now we really enjoyed the riding, but also usually had one day off per week of relaxing in some hole in the wall place. This was nice to look over the bikes, do laundry and suck down some nice cold beer. we had about 3 days off due to, broken shift lever, lost contact lens and one other day for some reason. Going solo give you the freedom to go at your own pace, but might get a little boring. I was lucky to find two old dues...(I hope you guys are reading this) to ride with. For guys who had never met before things went pretty well for 4 weeks, a few small differences, but I still have fond memories of the trip and both guys.

Thunder's participation in free agent stakes a mystery
A popular free agent among Thunder fans has been Shane Battier, a defensive difference-maker who helped Memphis give Kevin Durant fits in the playoffs. But Battier fits the bill as a player who could be too costly and is nearly a clone of a current Thunder player, shooting guard Thabo Sefolosha. While Battier is a better perimeter shooter, Sefolosha is younger, possesses the franchise's "corporate knowledge" and, most importantly, already is signed to a relatively budget-friendly deal that pays him less than $4 million in each of the next three seasons.
Sorry, Battier seekers.
It'd be best for Thunder fans to turn their attention to the bargains, if anybody, in this year's watered-down class. Keep an eye out for specialists. Sharpshooters. Defenders. Rugged rebounders. Veterans who can supply stretches of sustained energy at a discount shouldn't be ruled out, either.
Those performers are about as attractive as RuPaul. They have names like Reggie Evans and Jeff Foster and Steve Novak and James Jones, which means it's probably best to not get too crazy about the possibilities for the Thunder in this class.
There might still be room in OKC's shopping cart for a free agent. But we're past the point of banking on one.
The only thing better than that is we're finally talking about basketball again.
Five under-the-radar, yet reasonable free agents that could fit nicely with the Thunder.
Marcus Thornton, G, Sacramento*
2010-11 stats: 12.8 ppg, 3.5 rpg, 1.8 apg, 0.9 spg.
The skinny: If it's bench scoring the Thunder needs, Thornton could be a one-man lightning bolt. He averaged 21.3 points in 27 games with Sacramento last season following a mid-season trade from New Orleans.
Kris Humphries, PF, New Jersey
2010-11 stats: 10.0 ppg, 10.4 rpg, 1.1 apg, 1.1 bpg.
The skinny: Humphries is known much more for his short-lived marriage to socialite Kim Kardashian than he is for his double-double average from a season ago. But, quietly, the rugged power forward was one of the most effective and efficient big men in the league, albeit for a bottom-feeding New Jersey club. Still, his $3.2 million salary last season made him one of the best bargains in the league. Might not be a bad bargain if the Thunder is looking to bolster its frontcourt depth.
Arron Afflalo, G, Denver*
2010-11 stats: 12.6 ppg, 3.6 rpg, 2.4 apg.
The skinny: After a career year, Afflalo could now cash in big time after proving himself to be a big-shot maker and bulldog defender. He'd have to settle for less money and minutes in OKC but could slide in nicely as a backup to Kevin Durant.
Peja Stojakovic, SF, Dallas
2010-11 stats: 8.5 ppg, 2.3 rpg, 0.9 apg.
The skinny: The first time he signed in Oklahoma City it was for a mammoth $64 million. Maybe this time things could work out a little better. The Thunder still could use one more dead-eye shooter, and at this point in his career that's about all Stojakovic can still supply. Unless another team is willing to vastly overpay the injury-prone 34-year-old, the Thunder could land the career 38.5 percent 3-point shooter on a cheap veteran's deal and dust him off only for specific game-situation or emergency minutes.
Anthony Parker, G, Cleveland
2010-11 stats: 8.3 ppg, 3.0 rpg, 3.0 apg, 0.9 spg.
The skinny: He's 36 but can still fill it up from deep and be a tough defender in spurts. His professionalism would be an added plus in the locker room, and the Thunder likely wouldn't need to greatly exceed the veteran's minimum to sign him to a short term deal if he's seeking a shot at a title in the twilight years of his career.
Others of note: Shane Battier, Reggie Evans, Jeff Foster, Grant Hill, James Jones, Jason Kapono, Carl Landry, Roger Mason, Luc Richard Mbah a Moute, Steve Novak.

11 new smart grid solutions from names you know
By Liz Enbysk
SGN Managing Editor
Whether your shopping list leans towards products that will improve grid reliability and performance - or a utility-scale solar inverter that can help improve your cost of energy, our latest roundup features a wide range of new smart grid solutions from S&C Electric, Silver Spring Networks, Itron, Eaton and other industry stalwarts. Scroll down and over to page 2 to see them all - including a free app from Siemens.
Dell's new Smart Grid Data Management Solution taps electric distribution system performance data to isolate and predict outages, enabling fast response and potentially averting service interruptions. Dell says the bundled solution combines high-performance computing, networking and storage to manage data and provide actionable results in real-time. Based on customer requirements and the age of the data, the solution provides three tiers of storage that Dells says enables customers to optimize performance at a low cost. Details >>
Silver Spring Networks new Direct-to-Grid load control solution offers utilities fast demand response resources to help reduce peak load and maintain grid reliability. The technology provides two-way communication capabilities, allowing utilities to directly monitor and manage energy intensive assets such as air conditioners, electric heaters, water heaters, and pool pumps. The company says the solution is unique in the ability to provide Direct-to-Grid, fast-DR without any need for existing AMI infrastructure. Details >> SSN also announced a new Speed-to-Value initiative designed to enable utilities to rapidly scope, deploy, test, and measure specific solutions to extract even greater ROI from their smart grid investments. Details >>
S&C Electric's latest IntelliTeam VV Volt-Var Optimization System release works with a broader range of equipment, ultimately helping utilities realize more system-wide energy efficiency improvements. In addition, the enhanced platform now supports 240-volt systems, which are used in Europe and Australia. The company says the new software supports multiple levels of line regulation and allows utilities to control them independent of one another. This gives grid operators more precise voltage control for an even higher level of power quality, and makes it possible to achieve greater reductions in peak demand and energy usage. Details >>
HAI by Leviton's new Omni LTe home control system coordinates multiple subsystems including lighting, heating and air, security, audio/video, scenes and messaging to promote efficiency and energy savings. The company says its Omni LTe system controls homes and businesses by schedule, motion detection, door openings, sunrise, sunset, alarm activation/deactivation and more. It features an Ethernet port and may be controlled remotely from a PC, laptop, tablet, Smartphone or e-Reader, as well as onsite from in-wall or table-top touch screens. Details >>
SAP's Grid Infrastructure Analytics rapid-deployment solution which analyzes overload data to help utility grid operators improve operational efficiency and maximize the lifetime of transformers. The solution monitors the health of transformers and guards against overloads. Workers in the field can quickly pull up these analytics via secure mobile devices. SAP says that unique to this solution is a rapid-deployment option that allows utilities to be up and running with it in less than 60 days. Details >>
Ambient launched the Ambient MicroNode and Ambient MiniNode, The new nodes were designed to complement the existing Ambient Smart Grid Node, which has been enhanced with more powerful grid analytics capabilities. The company says the nodes are purpose-built network devices, all with advanced processing capability and memory that, along with the AmbientNMS deliver benefits of distributed intelligence grid architecture. Details >>
Itron's new metering platform OpenWay AURUM was designed for the fast-growing Brazilian market where utilities face challenges that significantly impact operating costs. The new product combines Itron's metering and communication technology with unique packaging to help Brazilian utilities meet business objectives by lowering operational costs, improving service and protecting revenue. The meter is housed in a secure box, which is mounted on a utility pole rather than on a house or business, reducing the possibility of meter tampering. Details >>
Siemens' Environmental Impact Calculator is a new application that allows energy engineers, facility managers and others to estimate a building's baseline carbon footprint from purchased electricity, natural gas and heating oil. Users can also measure the impact of energy efficiency improvements on an annual basis or throughout the length of a given project's term. The tool is available free-of-charge through the Apple Store. Details >>

Josh Beckett injures back taking batting practice
May 11, 2010, 8:16 AM EDT
Yesterday afternoon the Red Sox announced that they were pushing Josh Beckett's next start back from Wednesday versus the Blue Jays to Friday versus the Tigers, which also put him in line to miss the Yankees next week after giving up nine runs against them in his last outing.
At the time the move was not made because of an injury, but then just a few hours later Beckett strained his back while preparing for interleague play by taking batting practice in an indoor batting cage. He'll undergo tests today to determine his status and in the meantime Tim Wakefield will slide back into the rotation Wednesday.
Beckett's pushed-back start is now up in the air, although some extra time off may not be so bad given his 7.46 ERA and need to "refine his delivery" with pitching coach John Farrell. His peripheral numbers aren't nearly as awful as his ERA, so assuming the back issues aren't serious he's a good bet to get on track.

I wonder if Hank Steinbrenner will come to Boston's defense and suggest that the NL needs to join the 21st Century like he did during the "Wang Baserunning Incident" a few years ago.
Noting like a good, old fashioned DH debate.
- MK - May 11, 2010 at 9:48 AM
Wait a second…if Beckett is starting on Friday vs the Tigers, his next start normally would be against Minnesota. He'd then miss the Philly series altogether, and they're not playing a NL team (Philly again) until June 11th.
Something's not right here.
- justin - May 11, 2010 at 10:02 AM
Boston is going to keep him away from another beating from the Yankees . I'll bet they're thinking twice about that contract extension . Just think , four more years of hiding him from the Yankees . It can't be done .
- BC - May 11, 2010 at 10:02 AM
I think Beckett screwed his back up the other night (Saturday I think?) and they're hiding it. He made one bad pitch for 3-2/3 innings but was striking out the world and looked great. Then he just lost it, walks, hit a couple guys, he was all over the place. I'm betting it was an in-game injury that he said nothing about at the time.
Captcha: mucks situation. There's that Captcha ESP again….
- paul - May 11, 2010 at 10:13 AM
I am a 35 year sox fan and i am as pissed as anyone and I must say your explanation is probably the correct one. I think they want him to skip NY. Though I still can't understand why on Friday he was throwing and spotting his fastball well in the first two innings at 95 – 97 mph then fell in love with his 3rd best pitch – curveball and got hammered.
This guy should throw only two pitches – Fastball and changeup. There are plenty of pitchers out there who do this. He should be one of them.
- paul - May 11, 2010 at 10:17 AM
I just replied to Justin about this same thing. He was spotting and bringing his 95mph fastball very well and looked damn good. But I don't know if it is him or Varitek always fall in love with his curveball. It is his 3rd best pitch. He just needs his fastball and changeup. That's it. You spot those two pitches and he will be fine.
- Jonny5 - May 11, 2010 at 10:20 AM
I guess that he just can't hang with the big boys. Maybe this is why he chose to go to the AL? It's quite simple, If you can't hit? pitch in the AL. If you can't play a lick of defense or pitch,but can hit well? become a DH in the AL. I guess it's the league that accepts people who can be considered "challanged" at some aspects of the game. Yeah, that's about it… ;>P
- Greg - May 11, 2010 at 11:12 AM
Right, Jonny, that explains the NL getting their butt kicked in the All-Star Game and WS every year .. can't keep up with those "challenged" players
- Manny - May 11, 2010 at 11:30 AM
Becks, I got some good stuff in my old locker that will take the edge off. Top shelf, behind the "cream" next to the "clear."
- justin - May 11, 2010 at 12:20 PM
At this point it may just be in his head . You're correct , he was throwing bb's at them , and all of a sudden he was lost. Sometimes a pitcher gets something in his head and he falls out off the planet . Take a look at Javy Vazquez for the Yankees , he can't pitch for that team . I look for the Yankees to trade him back to the National League before the seasons over . I'll bet they would undo that trade with Atlanta if they could .
- YankeesfanLen - May 11, 2010 at 12:44 PM
Nah, we don't want Melky back.
- Jonny5 - May 11, 2010 at 12:48 PM
The Allstar game is worthless, it's a demonstration game and the players know it. Anyway it was a joke. The AL does have more "challenged" players though. It's loaded with ball players who can almost play ball. Pitchers who can't take BP without getting hurt…….. Hitters who can't play defense…… The DH was created for chicks, because they love the long ball. ;>P Big poopie will tell ya that much.

Christmas Time at WR!
WOO! RPG Where it's Christmas at WR, and everyone hangs out and stuff. Rules much?
1. Original Characters are welcome, but no crazy names or overpowering egos welcome.
2. Try to stay true to your character, but if your too OOC, you'll get killed off.
3. Only control YOUR character. You can claim more than one though.
Let's start. I'll be.... Natasha(Oh NO! She's back!)
The snow has fallen over the great gate of Whispering Rock psychic summer camp as a student shuffled through the gates. Her brown hair was pulled back and a beret covered her head. She wore a long red coat and a black turtleneck. Her boots covered her feet as she trecked through the parking lot. IT WAS CHRISTMASTIME!!! And NAtasha Nein was back at camp.
"Holy guacamoly!" She yelled as she reached the main lodge. "The snow is all like WHA!!!" She took off her coat, but kept the scarf. A bag of presents she'd left over the summer stood in the corner. The lodge was empty except her, some tables, and a box of Christmas decorations. Her dad, Sasha(for those who remember, he adopted her.), sent her early to get ready.
She picked up the box of decorations and began tossing tinsle all over. "I can't wait to see Quentin." She said to herself. "I can finally tell him that his scarf is relevant to the season!"

Visual Studio is a powerful program offered by Microsoft that provides the tools and services necessary to create a wide variety of applications. With a code editor, integrated debugger, and the ability to support different programming languages, Visual Studio is an essential and effective development suite. Perhaps one of the most useful elements of Visual Studio from a business perspective is the program's ability to connect all of your teams and projects. Indeed, it is Visual Studio's capacity to work with its cloud-hosted services that can help businesses with tasks, such as online training, team process workflow, and issue and work item tracking management.
Connecting to the Cloud
In order to take advantage of the cloud-based services available with Visual Studio, the first step is to configure the program to automatically build and deploy to Windows Azure. The first step is to sign up for a Visual Studio Online account, which allows up to five free Basic users and the option to upgrade for additional user access. Once you have connected to Visual Studio Online, you can create a project and then check in that project to source control. From there, the project can be connected to Windows Azure. Once these steps have been completed, you are ready to take advantage of the beneficial cloud-hosted services available.
Visual Studio Features
Windows Visual Studio in conjunction with Windows Azure provides numerous benefits for businesses. Indeed, Visual Studio can help create modern business applications to serve a variety of goals, and with cloud capabilities, these applications become much more easily accessible. The following are some of the tools available when utilizing Visual Studio:
- Recruitment and Training – Visual Studio can save time through the creation of targeted apps that make things like recruitment and training virtually automated. For instance, a recruiting app that can manage job postings and potential candidates can simply be created through a cloud-based application. Moreover, online training for particular skills relevant to your business can be developed through Visual Studio and then through Azure and cloud-based services and be accessed across platforms; this makes training programs convenient for many different users. This feature of Visual Studio frees up time for productivity elsewhere.
- Track Workflow-Another benefit of Visual Studio is the ability to track workflow from within. For instance, a backlog can be created to define and manage what work needs to be completed. Moreover, through work item charting, you can visually chart and track the completion of work. Another feature that can help in tracking workflow is using queries to help you quickly find particular work items that need your attention. Finally, all of this information utilized to track workflow can be customized. With Visual Studio, keeping track of projects has never been easier.
- Collaboration – The heart of any successful business is collaboration, and with Visual Studio, collaboration is made easy. As previously mentioned, the ability to automatically link to Azure or other cloud-based programs helps increase the accessibility of these applications. Add this accessibility with the collaborative tools, and your business is off and running. Within Visual Studio, for instance, a team work room can be created, allowing all members the opportunity to discuss issues that arise, ask and/or answer questions, and share their status on projects. Teams also have the ability to work independently yet share information across the organization to other teams. With the ease of which collaborative resources are shared, Visual Studio is sure to increase productivity.
With Visual Studio, cloud business apps that help increase productivity can easily be utilized, allowing the tracking of workflow and simple collaboration. By working in tandem with Microsoft Office 365 certification and services and providing access to cloud-based services like Azure, Visual Studio becomes a valuable tool for business productivity.
