"For 35 years, we've been studying how companies get value from information. … We try to help organizations take a more holistic view of what they are trying to do."
"The conditions in the neighborhoods we were visiting were different than what we realized before getting there. Beyond that, what was surprising was that there weren't surprises!"
"We're very interdisciplinary. Among the faculty in the group are an economist, a political scientist, a sociologist, and an industrial relations specialist. We've always made a big effort to be open to a variety of perspectives, but also to go beyond being open to them, to want to bring them in, because it makes for a richer environment."
"[The India Lab] program is one of the reasons I came to Sloan. ... The hands-on learning that MIT offers was a huge differentiator."
"Our mission, along with the mission of MIT Sloan, is to both develop leaders who make a difference in the world, and also to make a contribution to thinking about the topic of leadership."
"Because of the diversity of our backgrounds, when we hit the ground in Tanzania it almost was a natural play where different people assume different roles."
"I knew about American business, but not enough about what's really become a global economy. … You can read about it all you want, but there's no substitute for being there and seeing the context and seeing how completely different these [other countries] are."
"One of the reasons I came to Sloan was because I wanted to be at a top MBA institution worldwide. But I also wanted access to working with the latest innovations and the highest technology that was coming out of the MIT labs."
"It was really rewarding that they wanted to know what we thought. We left there being fairly certain that they will do some of the things that we suggested."
"I can honestly say that when I was planning on coming to business school I never thought that witnessing the birth of a child would be included in the education. It was definitely an experience."
"I love being in a place that is such a nexus of people and ideas — people coming to learn something new and to define themselves. Being a part of that process is a real honor and a real gift."
"At MIT Sloan you have a lot of opportunities to explore entrepreneurship. Especially in a place like Kampala where you have a lot of development, entrepreneurship can be very exciting."
"I came to Sloan because of its high rankings within the sustainability community, specifically the professors. The S-Lab class itself is part of what drew me to Sloan. And the reason I came to business school was to learn the business speak that really is what connects with people."
"The relationships that we forged helped us to turn out a better project. We were able to test our hypotheses with the people that we spoke with every single day. And really, I think the friendships that you develop really propel the work that you're doing."
"We are preparing leaders to run the world's operations companies. And those leaders are at the cutting edge of both management and technology."

Univision Reports More Disturbing Information About Fast and Furious
From The Daily Caller and ABC News:
The Spanish language television news network Univision unleashed a bombshell investigative report on Operation Fast and Furious Sunday evening, finding that in January 2010 drug cartel hit men slaughtered students with weapons the United States government allowed to flow to them across the Mexican border.
"On January 30, 2010, a commando of at least 20 hit men parked themselves outside a birthday party of high school and college students in Villas de Salvarcar, Ciudad Juarez," according to a version of the Univision report in English, on the ABC News website.
"Near midnight, the assassins, later identified as hired guns for the Mexican cartel La Linea, broke into a one-story house and opened fire on a gathering of nearly 60 teenagers. Outside, lookouts gunned down a screaming neighbor and several students who had managed to escape. Fourteen young men and women were killed, and 12 more were wounded before the hit men finally fled."
Citing a Mexican Army document it obtained and published, Univision reported that "[t]hree of the high caliber weapons fired that night in Villas de Salvarcar were linked to a gun tracing operation run by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF)."
That operation was Fast and Furious.
So, our guns were used to gun down 16 teenagers and wound 12 more.
If you are not familiar with Fast and Furious, and I don't blame you if you are not, Fast and Furious is a gun tracing operation run by the ATF (Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives), where nearly 2,000 guns went unaccounted for. According to Mexico's former Attorney General, approximately 300 Mexicans have been killed by Fast and Furious guns. Nearly 2,000 high-powered weapons "walked" across the border to Mexico and were used by Mexican drug cartels that murdered hundreds of innocent people, including these teenagers. You may remember a gun from Fast and Furious was also used to kill U.S. Border Patrol agent Brian Terry.
According to ABC News, "Univision News identified a total of 57 more previously unreported firearms that were bought by straw purchasers monitored by ATF during Operation Fast and Furious, and then recovered in Mexico in sites related to murders, kidnappings, and at least one other massacre."
Although the mainstream media have tried their best to ignore Fast and Furious, Univision, which is no conservative place, feels a bit differently about it since it is Mexicans that are being brutally murdered with our guns.
Texas is involved in this as well. From ABC News:
Other firearms under ATF surveillance were permitted to leave the country from Texas, according to court documents and the exclusive testimony of Magdalena Avila Villalobos, the sister of an ICE agent who survived a confrontation with cartel hit men on a rural highway in Mexico on February 15, 2011. His fellow agent, Jaime Zapata, was killed during the attacks.
Earlier this year, Texas Senator John Cornyn had echoed Thomas' assertions . Moreover, on September 25, Congressman Darrell Issa and Senator Charles Grassley, the politicians behind the Fast and Furious congressional report released in July, sent a letter to the Department of Justice's Office of the Inspector General, requesting an investigation into Avila's and Zapata's case.
Pres. Obama has falsely claimed that "Fast and Furious" began under the Bush administration. So, lets clear that up. Bush did have a gun walking program called, "Operation Wide Receiver" in 2006-2007, but that program wasn't "Fast and Furious," which started under Obama. The "Operation Wide Receiver" program didn't lose track of 2000 guns, and it didn't result in the murders of hundreds of Mexicans and an American Border Patrol Agent. Pres. Obama likes to blame Bush for just about everything, but this was an out and out lie.
Attorney General Eric Holder has always maintained he knew nothing about this operation. Writing about the report by the DOJ's inspector general,: Lachlan Markay writes:
While the report does not claim that Holder misled Congress, it does say that those affidavits suggested gunwalking took place. Holder says he read those affidavits, and that they suggested no such thing. If the inspector general is correct, both claims cannot be true–either Holder did not review the affidavits, or he was not truthful about their contents.
More and more truth and horror is leaking out about the nightmare that was "Fast and Furious." If it takes a Mexican news organization to do, then so be it. Our media gave up on truth and investigative reporting long ago. After all, it took Univision to actually ask Pres. Obama tough questions for the first time.

Drivers in the Nelson region copped close to $1 million in fines in a year from being caught by the mobile speed camera.
And they are well on the way to doing the same again this year with $760,800 to the end of August.
Just one speed camera van covers Nelson, Marlborough and Kaikoura, manned by two operators covering different shifts.
In Nelson, the top speed camera site is on Haven Rd by Auckland Point School, then the northern end of Atawhai Dr, and Main Rd Stoke near Stoke School.
The Nelson Mail made an Official Information Act request to find how much speeding drivers are paying in infringements in Nelson Bays.
Last year the camera van caught them with 15,969 infringements and offences, and so far in eight months this year 13,522. Speeding fines are paid to the police then transferred to the Government's consolidated fund.
Of the $995,570 total fees last year, $806,920 was in fees paid and $188,650 was unpaid and referred to the court. This year to the end of August, $621,930 has been paid, and $138,870 unpaid fines referred to court.
Tasman district road policing manager Inspector Jenni Richardson was unavailable for comment but last month said she hoped to get another speed camera for the district. That depends on funding allocation.
The New Zealand Transport Agency has $10m set aside for speed cameras nationally, and has been waiting on a business case from police.

I want to hear more about how they rationalized this one:
Wired – Congress may take books, musical compositions and other works out of the public domain, where they can be freely used and adapted, and grant them copyright status again, the Supreme Court ruled Wednesday.
In a 6-2 ruling, the court said that, just because material enters the public domain, it is not "territory that works may never exit."
The top court was ruling on a petition by a group of orchestra conductors, educators, performers, publishers and film archivists who urged the justices to reverse an appellate court that ruled against the group, which has relied on artistic works in the public domain for their livelihoods.
They claimed that re-copyrighting public works would breach the speech rights of those who are now using those works without needing a license. There are millions of decades-old works at issue. Some of the well-known ones include H.G. Wells' Things to Come; Fritz Lang's Metropolis and the musical compositions of Igor Fyodorovich Stravinsky.
For a variety of reasons, the works at issue, which are foreign and produced decades ago, became part of the public domain in the United States but were still copyrighted overseas. In 1994, Congress adopted legislation to move the works back into copyright, so U.S. policy would comport with an international copyright treaty known as the Berne Convention.
In dissent, Justices Stephen Breyer and Samuel Alito said the legislation goes against the theory of copyright and "does not encourage anyone to produce a single new work." Copyright, they noted, was part of the Constitution to promote the arts and sciences.

ESQUIRE: But it doesn't seem like people in general think they can demand anything of government anymore. We're divided between people who don't think government can do anything and other people who think that we can't demand anything. Do you think the outside-the-government fervor of the Occupy movement and other similar things is a good spur to change that?
CLINTON: Yes. Potentially it is, and that's what I've been saying from the beginning. I've gotten some criticism on some of the more left-wing blogs about it, but the complaining about the abuses of the 1 percent or tenth of a percent of Americans who are in finance, who helped to cause this mess, that's been very useful, because I've been talking about income inequality in America for twenty years, and when I was president, people didn't pay much attention to it, probably because wages were going up. But I don't think I've given a single solitary speech since I left office that I hadn't talked about it. It's a problem around the world and within the United States. So these people have put that on the agenda.
But what I've been trying to get them to do is to unite behind just one or two or three simple things that they can be for, and then mobilize people who won't spend the night outside in November. And the infrastructure bank would be a very good thing to do, because it really would put people to work. If you wanted to create jobs in a way that has minimal effect on the deficit but has government action, the two best things you could do are the infrastructure bank and a simple SBA-like loan guarantee for all building retrofits, where the contractor or the energy-service company guarantees the savings. So that allows the bank to loan money to let a school or a college or a hospital or a museum or a commercial building unencumbered by debt to loan it on terms that are longer, so you can pay it back only from your utility savings. You could create a million jobs doing that because of the home models that are out there now.

Yes, prosecutorial overreach has always been a problem. But it's getting worse, as the Cato Institute points out.
Jan 19th, 2012 at 10:14 am by susie
That librul media! It's my duty as a blogger to point out that this Think Progress piece is wrong. Republicans trust more media sources than Fox News – they trust Newsmax, Rush Limbaugh, Drudge and Andrew Breitbart, too! Duh:
A new PPP poll confirms what many have long suspected — that many Americans get their news from sources that hew to their pre-existing beliefs.
But this phenomenon was not balanced on both sides of the ideological spectrum. While Democrats trust most news outlets, to varying degrees, Republicans trust only a single one — Fox News. While a massive 73 percent of Republicans trust Fox, the next highest rating among any major TV news outlet is PBS, which just 30 percent of GOPers trust, according to the PPP poll.
The numbers show just how powerful Fox can be in setting the agenda and influencing the world view of conservatives, with virtually no competition or accountability from the outside world. This monopoly on news penetration for an entire half of the electorate would be bad no matter the network, but it's especially troubling considering Fox's shoddy, and often agenda-driven "reporting." And unlike an openly-ideological news outlet like ThinkProgress or the National Review, which freely advertise their perspectives, Fox insists it's a traditional "far and balanced" news outlet.

From: Austin, TX
Region: Southwest
Topic: Grasses or Grass-like, Herbs/Forbs
Title: Suggested plants for between flagstones in Austin, TX
Answered by: Nan Hampton
QUESTION:I would like to plant something between my flagstones on patio. I am taking up the cement mortar and want something that doesn't require a lot of water, low growing, and can stand a little traffic. It is in a partly sunny area. Any ideas for Austin, Texas?? Possibly a grass or sedum??
If the area is mostly sunny, Bouteloua dactyloides (buffalograss) would be a good choice. It requires very little water and doesn't grow tall. It can be sown as seeds or planted as plugs.
Sedum nuttallianum (yellow stonecrop) is another plant that would be excellent if your area is mostly sunny. It is cold tolerant and generally a bit shorter than buffalograss.
Another possibility is a sedge, e.g., Carex texensis (Texas sedge) or Carex planostachys (cedar sedge). Both these sedges do well in partial shade with little water.
Phyla nodiflora (Texas frogfruit or turkey tangle fogfruit) grows in partial shade and requires little water, but will also do well in poorly drained soils. it does spread somewhat vigorously. I suggest you might like to read the answer to a recent question about frogfruit.

Dear Jefferson Community,
I am pleased to announce that Bay Area Tutoring Association/Leaders of Tomorrow will be the lead agency for the JAZ after school program for the 2015-16 school year. As previously mentioned in the May 2015, Issue 8 of the PTA newsletter, I am committed to enhancing our course offerings, student experience, and academic outcomes. Bay Area Tutoring Association has a history of academic skill building, targeted intervention, and Common Core aligned curriculum. Adrianna Smith will be staying on in a lead position, and will have on-going agency support to assist her in the day to day running of the JAZ program. However, there will be staff that will not be staying as they will be returning to school in the Fall. Let's send them positive thoughts on a successful transition as they pursue their academic endeavors. We will be hosting an introduction meet and greet for the new agency in August. Information is forthcoming, so please join me in welcoming Bay Area Tutoring Association/Leaders of Tomorrow!
Thank you,
Principal Sonya Martin

We still need help in a few areas for Mayfair:
1. We have plenty of cakes for the cake walk, but we need individual items for the bake sale.

Dear Jefferson Families:
After a productive meeting with Principal Martin, Jefferson's 4th and 5th grade team, and Admissions Manager, Francisco Martinez, we believe we have a working solution to the combination class dilemma at Jefferson for 2015-2016.
We reconciled district and site student counts fairly easily and determined that 2 larger 4th grade classes and 3 5th grade classes were doable for next year, and preferable, in the view of staff, to a 4/5 combo.
At present we are confident that 4th grade will load at between 61 and 62 kids given that we will freeze adding any additional kids to current third grade classes for the duration of the year and up until the start of school. Those numbers also reference pretty clear confirmation of students who will be leaving for a variety of reasons after this year.
The current 75 kids in 4th grade means a proposed 3 5th grade classes of 25 for 2015-2016 which could then accommodate a few additional kids, perhaps a larger amount of additional kids, should the attrition we predicted for 5th grade next year become a reality.
Additional details will be forthcoming from the Jefferson principal and discussion of how to best support the larger classes will continue.
Thank you all for your time, advocacy, and interest in our kids.

Dinner, Childcare & Translation Provided
Food at 6pm
Thanks to the rapid technological changes in recent years, our
children are growing up in a world that looks very
different from the one we grew up in. How are our children
using technology now both at school and at home, and how
will they continue to use it as they become teens and
adults? What is our role as parents?
Allison Krasnow and Wally Gutierrez, Teachers on Special
Assignment for Instructional Technology for Berkeley
Unified, Will help us explore this topic by discussing
how students use technology in the classrooms at Jefferson
and what students can expect in middle school, resources
available for families, and tips in keeping children safe
when using technology at home.
If you have burning questions about your children's use of
the internet, smart phones, and other technology—either at
home or at school? If so, please email them to me at firstname.lastname@example.com
and we'll use your questions to make sure we're covering
topics you're interested in.
All members of the Jefferson community are invited to
participate in this event.

LCAP Survey due soon
Hi Jefferson Community,
Please find the links to a very important survey below.
The District LCAP Survey Sub-committee created this survey to learn what you think about both, you and your child's/children's experiences, in the Berkeley USD schools. By participating in this survey, you are providing important feedback regarding funded programs and actions designed to meet district goals.
The survey will take about 15 minutes to complete and consists of two linked sections: the district survey followed by a School Governance Council (SGC) survey created by Jefferson's SGC.
The survey is anonymous, and demographic information is requested to make sure that the entire Jefferson community is represented.
Please stop by the school office conference room if you need access to a computer. You may also complete the survey by hand, and return it to the office. Paper copies of the survey are available in the office.
You only need to complete one survey per family, but feel free to use the comment boxes to describe your whole family's experience.
Please get your responses in by April 23rd! The survey will be closed on April 24th.

Dear Jefferson Friends and Families,
On the March 2nd spring deadline, I submitted $47.80 more of Box Tops to BTFE. I'm hoping for a big spring collection before we're off for the summer (during which you can still collect at home)! General Mills' Box Tops is a no-cost way to raise money for the school, and can really add up if everyone gets involved and notices those little pink labels on their groceries.
The latest complete Box Top list, which is comprised of over 100 familiar products, can be found here: http://www.boxtops4education.com/participating-products.
Please get in the habit of clipping and turning in your collection(s) to the fishbowl on the school's office counter. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to email me, Shauna at email@example.com. Thanks!

Energy Efficiency Benchmarks: Internet Explorer 10 vs. Google Chrome 26 vs. Firefox 21
Microsoft funded study confirms that IE is the best.
Back in 2011, we compared IE9 and its competitors to see which one consumes the least amount of power. Spoiler alert: Internet Explorer won and Opera lost heavily.
Well, guys at Fraunhofer Inc. decided to download Internet Explorer 10, Google Chrome 26 and Mozilla Firefox 21 and do a study of their own.
Here are the results:

Download Firefox 22 Beta
With no 3rd party cookie blocking.
Well, it looks like Firefox 22 won't be as exciting as it was promised to be. According to PCWorld, Mozilla has postponed the idea in order "to collect and analyze data on the effect of blocking some third-party cookies." whatever that means.
However, there is still at least one thing that will get you going. OdinMonkey, Mozilla's asm.js optimization module is a part of this Beta build and as you might know already, it's awesome.

JPEG Vs. Google's WebP
And one more thing…
How else can Google demonstrate its superiority? Display how WebP compares to JPEG or PNG, obviously. Without sacrificing the quality, WebP is able to achieve dramatic reduction in size by up to 34% when compared to JPEG and up to 26% when compared to PNG.

Google's VP9 Vs. H.264
Shows an amazing difference in bandwidth and file size.
As the I/O event continues, Google has just compared its VP9 video compression standard to H.264 and as you can see in the slide above, VP9 offered a decrease in size of 63% when compared to H.264, at least in one particular video.

SunSpider 1.0 Released
So what ground breaking features can you expect from the 1.0 release? None. Instead, developers focused on addressing various issues, such as with power management where delay between tests has been completely eliminated. In addition to that, they have added validation checks that "force the JavaScript engine to execute the test in full".

SPDY Coming To Internet Explorer 11 & Windows Blue
Follows everyone else.
What could top the upcoming WebGL support? How about SPDY? Thanks to Rafael Rivera, we have learned that Microsoft is actively working on implementing an open networking protocol that was developed by the Google itself.
The good news? Not only will IE11 support it but it seems that the software giant is integrating SPDY to the Windows Blue itself, which means that all store apps can utilize it (and reap performance rewards) from the get go.

Download Firefox 22 Alpha
With OdinMonkey (see benchmarks below).
Good news for all the Firefox enthusiasts out there, Mozilla has just released the very first alpha build of Firefox 22, which includes OdinMonkey module.
What's that? Basically it's an asm.js optimization module for Firefox's JavaScript engine that has a potential to run your code at 2x its native performance, all developers have to do is compile C or C++ to JavaScript by using Expect transcompiler. Mozilla promised to share more about asm.js module in the upcoming GDC conference later this week.

As if we haven't seen enough holiday themed web sites and haven't heard enough Christmas songs, Microsoft has decided to combine all of these into a web browser benchmark.
According to the IE Team, this test utilizes "hardware-accelerated HTML5 capabilities like canvas, CSS3 animations and transitions, audio, WOFF, power and performance APIs, and more."

Ontario Reign Vs Allen AmericansRead MoreFor the past six years, the Ontario Reign have dominated opponents as the ECHL affiliate of the Winnipeg Jets and the 2012 Stanley Cup champions, the Los Angeles Kings. Formerly the Texas Wildcatters, and before that, the Huntington Blizzard, the Reign rose to existence in 2008. And, rather than naming the team the old-fashioned way of letting a raccoon pick random letters from a bag of Scrabble pieces, the newly spawned organization turned to its fans with a name-the-team contest. That contest kicked off what has been a thriving relationship between the Reign and Ontario hockey fans. In fact, the Reign led the ECHL in attendance during their first three seasons. In 2012 and 2013, the team rewarded its loyal fans with back-to-back Pacific Division championships.4000 Ontario Center Pkwy.Ontario, CA US
Inland Empire 66ersRead MoreBaseball in San Bernardino dates back to 1899. More than a century's worth of history includes such team names as the Kittens and the Pioneers. It also includes a drought from 1950–1987, during which the city lacked enough dirt to build a baseball field. That drought ended when the San Bernardino Spirit began play as part of the California League. In 1996, the Spirit became the Stampede, and in 2003, the Stampede became the 66ers, a name chosen in honor of the historic U.S. Route 66 that is famous for its hitchhiking umpires. Over the years, the 66ers organization has spent time as the Class A-Advanced affiliate of the Mariners, Dodgers, and most recently, the Angels. The team has brought honor to each of its MLB partners, as it has won six California League championships since 1995.280 S E St.San Bernardino, CA US

1st time using a delivery service
like the title says I've never used a delivery service before. my thoughts were well idk can't see the medicine, gotta go by their description. but in this case I was no disappointed at all I called like 4 minutes prior to their cut off for new patients. the guy I spoke to was super cool talked me threw the process. they hooked me up great, I haven't had enough strains to no exactly wat I want or wat it is by name I told them the feeling I'm trying to achieve. to which the had 1 suited for me. there was a bit of a wait but that's to be expected alot of people cannot leave there house and need the medicine so I was in no rush. the driver was cool didn't freak out wen my dogs broke back in my house haha.. so all in all for the price and quality of these flowers I'm a super happy camper and I am definitely definitely using them again
strains I picked up
crystal coma which I read was quite rare but damn is it beautiful
grape ape looks delicious smells great
and a top shelf preroll in an on the go container which I always reuse
definitely a must try spot they helped me hopefully they can help you..
Good experience!
Thought I'd try these guys since they have the free 1/8 first time patient deal going on. I purchased a 1/4 of the Crystal Coma because there was a free 1/8 deal on that too. The guy that registered me over the phone was nice & professional. The delivery guy was also cool and he arrived like 20-25 minutes before the estimated time. So with all the freebies I ended up with a 1/2 for the price of a 1/4. One of my free 1/8 was Crystal Coma and the other free 1/8 was 3 Kings. 3 Kings was popcorn buds but can't complain at all. Crystal Coma was good. Will definitely be calling these guys again! Very pleased at how easy the process was.
Still a 5 star
Alpha medic never let me down till last night.. Weight was on point I ordered some Paris og n it wasn't the same Paris I usually get still good but it was fluffy light on weight and looked like homegrown this is the only time this happened so far been using alpha for a couple years the Sherbert cookies was on point tho.. Still going to continue using my favorite spot
Late-Night Callers BEWARE!!!
Their page says "Open 9:00am - 10:00pm" but they take their last call at 9:30pm. Everything else about this place is awesome so I'm not going to rate them low just for that, though I do wish they specified this rule somewhere...
Been Looking
Had a spot, lost it. been going everywhere looking for that bomb, This that place, came thru quick and they hooked it up with a fat ass free eighth for first time patient. all i got to say is i found my new Candy shop

Dank ass bud here. By far the absolute best delivery service ever! You won't regret this i promise!
Bud is Super Fire!
What else can I say? Top quality meds for a decent price. This was my first time ordering and I got a free 1/8 and two fat ass pre-rolls!! Can't complain about free weed! Driver was chill and made it within the set time. This is a great delivery service that I will be coming back to!
Shittiest F#%k-ing dudes!!!

Buds are super fire! But that's why these f#%k-ing douche bags think they can skimp me on my sac every other time i pick up here. F that!! They thought i wouldn't know the damn difference between a quarter and a half ounce.. but I called them back. And they said something must have gone wrong and they marked it a quarter.. b.s. you asked me for 180. sound like a quarter price. i weighed it out. quarter not half o. So y'all had to bring me my money back, and me give back the bud. So let me get this straight..not only do i not have any meds. but they try'd to jip me 180 for a 1/2 o.. to top that all off they wasted my whole day waiting on these Jerks.. these Guys aren't cheap to begin with, but then they have shitty employees with sticky fingers too! Totally Not Cool!!!! Never Go Back To A$$holes!!! I was the last of my friends to remain faithful to alpha medics.. or the last one to get f-ed over. you take your pic. Cant believe i trusted them over everyone else. Go to anyone else
I can absolutely recommend this delivery service!
1. Amazing Meds (Can't stress this enough!)
2. Driver is very kind.
3. The person picking up the phone is super nice and knowledgeable
4. Sweet deals!
5. Super detailed menu!
1. Can be a bit pricey (Quality though)
2. They can be a bit late, but its not too bad.
Try it out, you will NOT be disappointed.
Top dog (cont'd)
I just received my third delivery and I wanted to say that the driver, Carlos was super chill
