Shai Agassi
- Date
- 24 January 2012
Shai Agassi, Founder and CEO, Better Place, speaks to us about debunking doubts on electric vehicles, the importance of providing leadership and inspiration for others to follow, and how he will realize the company vision of the world's top selling cars being electric.
- How would you describe your leadership style?
I'm an engineer by training and an imagineer by soul. I try to imagine the future the way it can be - not from the perspective of the constraints of today, but from the perspective of the individual customer and stakeholder. And once that imagination takes over, I use the engineering skills to engineer towards that future.
Then I instill that galvanizing vision into my team and let them do what they do better than me, which is build the solution and execute it on the ground.
- What kind of corporate culture do you try to foster?
No fear. We've embarked on a goal that is difficult. Most people, when we started, said we had no chance of actually executing on it. So I allow people to fail, as long as they fail forward. Our original plan developed in the form of a white paper, written back in 2006. In effect, that white paper laid out the roadmap that we've followed ever since. And if you read that white paper five years later, it's almost uncanny how closely we've followed the original plan. So we had a single galvanizing vision we were working towards, correcting what didn't work along the way.
- What were your biggest hesitations in taking Better Place from an idea to a reality?
I was on a fast track career in the IT industry. [My position at] SAP was something that I was comfortable with. I knew exactly how to manage in that environment, and so the level of uncertainty was very, very low. So it was like leaping off a tall building. And in that sense, I didn't even have my wings yet. I didn't have any of the tools that would allow me to execute on my vision. I didn't have any capital. And I still didn't have the car. All I had was the white paper and the promise of the President [Shimon Peres] that we could do it. And so we were jumping into a fairly big unknown.
- What good advice have you received?
I try to listen to everybody and their inputs. And some inputs are extremely valuable. For example, [when I explained my idea to him] President Clinton basically told me: "You can't go into the market with cars that are $40,000 and expect people to buy it. It's just not going to happen. You have to go way below that if you want to have any impact." At that time, our plan was finished and everything was ready. But he was right, and so I went back to the drawing board and decided that I needed to figure out a way to make our car cheaper for the consumer than a gasoline car.
Another good piece of advice I got from President Peres was: "Don't do this as a government project." In a sense, you can't prove a solution that doesn't work yet, if you are at the mercy of the government. If you look at the turmoil in the markets around the world, I don't think that there is a single government that hasn't undergone a budget change in the last few years.
But one thing that has always stuck with me throughout has been: "When someone tells you something won't work, but they don't have a good reason: ignore them."
- Some people doubt that Better Place will work. Do you ever have doubts?
That's one of the fundamental advantages that Better Place has. We started earlier than a lot of other people. We started back in 2005 and failed on paper ten different times. And with each one of those failures, we changed course, and we changed again. So today we don't have many doubts because we've been working through this for six years and now we are seeing the demand materialize.
- Can you elaborate on how it is working?
In Israel, many companies have already committed to begin converting their fleets as soon as the electric cars available. Those fleets alone represent more than 80,000 cars. And we've got 8,000 consumers who have expressed an interest in our subscription plan. So that's almost 100,000 cars just from current commitments. Israel is a country where people buy 200,000 cars a year. If 100,000 cars materialize in the next three to four years, Israel will be the first country in the world where the top selling car in the market is not a gasoline car - it's an electric car. If you can prove that you can get the number one selling car in a country to be electric, that changes the rules for the rest of the world.
- What needs to happen for that vision to be realized?
Israel needs to work in the first year. The first year is critical for us. We're in Israel, Denmark and Australia. Once we prove our model in those countries, we need more OEMs and more governments to understand that this is probably the only solution for sustainable private transportation in the long haul. Then we will be a model for other people trying to solve some of the world's problems. So it's not just that we see ourselves coming this far. We see ourselves providing inspiration and a template for others to follow.

Shai Agassi is the founder and chief executive of Better Place, which he founded in 2007. In 2008, Israel became the first country—and Renault the first car maker—to embrace the Better Place model of building an open network infrastructure to enable mass adoption of electric vehicles, and deliver transportation as a sustainable service. Denmark, Australia, California, Hawaii, and Ontario have all followed in its tracks since.
His visionary leadership with the Better Place model has been recognized widely. TIME Magazine spotlighted him in 2009 TIME 100, as one of the world's 100 most influential people, as well as one of TIME's 'Heroes of the Environment 2008'. Fast Company also placed him third on its '100 Most Creative People in Business' list. Even more recently, Scientific American Magazine ranked him in the 2009 Scientific American 10 and Foreign Policy Magazine included him in its annual 'Top 100 Global Thinkers' list.
Before founding Better Place, Shai Agassi was president of the Products and Technology Group at SAP AG, and a member of the software company's executive board. He led global development of SAP's product line and portfolio of industry-specific solutions.
Agassi remains an active member of the Forum of Young Global Leaders of the World Economic Forum, where he focuses on climate change, transportation and other key issues.

Hi @all!
We have Zimbra 8 and would like to change a theme to better fit our CI. However, I only found 2 sources with some explanations:
This very extensive manual and this short one from the wiki
Both of them are only for zimbra 7, I couldnt find something more up to date.
My Problems beginn with contradictory infos. The "big" manual states the logo dimensons are 120x35 pixels while the wiki describes dimensions as 200x28 pixels. Furthermore has the whole skin ... or setup of the Interface changed. I.e. there is no "web search" or "quota" field anymore.
Can anybody tell me
* where to find more up to date infos
* is there something like this for zimbra 8?
Sorry if I missed some infos here or chose the wrong sub-forum.

CONNORVILLE - Despite being a little short-handed, Wheeling Park's wrestling team finished second at the 24th Annual Pepsi-Ohio Coatings Panther Classic Saturday night.
The Patriots had two individual champions in Dallas Baciak (120) and Dylan Taylor (145) in piling up 224.5 points, which was a distant second to Plum, Pa., which amassed 274.5. Fox Chapel was third with 219.5, followed by Hampton with 175.5 and Chartiers Valley with 152.
"We were wrestling without Geremy Paige and Eric Banks, and even Jonny Davis got hurt early in the day," Wheeling Park coach Jack Doyle said. "Those three guys we expect a lot of points from, but we wrestled pretty good, regardless."
Baciak captured his crown on his 17th birthday and was serenaded by the crowd following his 17-2 technical fall against Caldwell's Tyler Wiley. Baciak, the top seed and OVAC champion, improved to 32-2 on the season.
"I've never seen a wrestler get sang to like that," Doyle said of the rendition of Happy Birthday the Patriots' faithful performed. "Dallas continues to do what he does. He keeps working hard and the sky's the limit for him."
Taylor (36-3), who was upset in the semifinals of the Ron Mauck OVAC Tournament, posted a methodical 12-5 decision of Plum's Eric Green.
"Dylan probably wrestled the best tournament he has all season," Doyle said. "I never want to say that a loss is a good thing, but it definitely sparked something in him to re-commit himself. He's taken his intensity to an all new level."
Two Patriots took second-place honors, those being James Parsons (113) and Isaiah Myers (195).
Parsons was tech falled by South Park's Dallas Bulsak, 20-3, while Myers dropped a 7-2 decision to Plum's Nate Turchick.
Only one other OVAC wrestler took home the gold, that being Martins Ferry's Jonathon Bodkin. The Purple Riders' 285-pounder defeated Brooke's Preston Wise 5-3.
"It feels good," Bodkin said of his title. "This is the third time that we've met in high school, and I've won all three times."
Half-a-dozen other OVAC wrestlers finished second. They included Martins Ferry's Bryce Coleman (152), Bellaire's Myliek Green (160), Edison's Blaine Cline (182), Wellsville's Seth Bloor (220) and Caldwell's Rayner brothers -Kolby (132) and Kameron (138).
Caldwell was the highest placing OVAC school in sixth place with 149 points. Martins Ferry was eighth with 135 and Union Local 12th with 99.5.

BUCKHEAD, Ga. -- "They're pretty good for the most part. I've had pretty much all of them."
Dave Dulock is buying three energy drinks. He doesn't choose Monster brand today. Dulock is in one of the most popular corners of the Quick Trip on Sidney Marcus Boulevard -- the energy drink cooler.
Evangelist Cherry likes one called The Rooster Booster.
"I don't know. I guess they make me feel better during the day, just a pick up," she says.
Monster Energy drinks are prominently displayed in the case at the store, but now the FDA is investigating whether this popular brand could be linked to five deaths.
The news of the investigation comes after the family of a 14 year old California girl filed a wrongful death lawsuit against the company. The girl drank two 24 ounce cans in 24 hours.
The teen's cause of death was cardiac arrythmia from caffeine toxicity. The FDA is now investigating four other deaths linked to people who had the drink.
A 16 ounce can of Monster Energy drink has 160 miligrams of caffeine. That's like drinking five regular or diet Cokes, or one full cup of cofee.
Monster has a warning on the label that people should not consume more than three cans in a day and children should not drink them at all.
A spokesperson for Monster says they are "unaware of any fatality anywhere that has been caused by its drinks."
Dulock says, "Oh I know they're not healthy. It's like when people smoke, right? I know it's not healthy so I try to keep it to a couple a week."

Buck, Gobble, Peralta under contract for 2009
Last night, the Royals inked left-hander Jimmy Gobble to a one-year contract, thereby avoiding arbitration. Today, catcher John Buck and right-handed reliever Joel Peralta (at left) reached terms with the club on one-year deals. Four arbitration eligible players remain unsigned: Brian Bannister, Zack Greinke, Mike Jacobs, and Mark Teahen. Teams and players are exchanging salary figures today. Arbitration hearings, if necessary, will start Feb. 1.

Message to GM Dayton Moore:
Please use your Atlanta Braves' connections and familiarity with their players' agents to go after SP Tom Glavine. He may be just the crafty lefty starter to help the younger guys in solidifying the rotation (Much like Charlie Liebrandt did with Gubicza, Jackson and Saberhagen for the KC Royals in the mid-1980s to help win the World Series). The only reason Glavine is still sticking around (and Smoltz with Boston) is to try to get back to the glory of the World Series and put the crowning touch on a HOF career. What better crown than a Royal crown? I=Rod would be the perfect compliment to the battery as well. He provides leadership and strength defensively that we do not have with Buck or Olivo. Buck should be in AAA. Olivo is a good back-up.

The Cyclocross forum has one of these, but aside from the Pay It Forward thread (which I have used), there is no similar thread here in Commuting. I would think a thread like this might be helpful, so hopefully the mods won't take issue with it. There are things that are not for donation, nor are they for sale - just trade.
That being said, can someone please sticky this thread?
I have a set of flat bar 'Bar Mitts' for cold weather riding I'd like to trade for a drop bar set of Bar Mitts.

How's everyone adjusting to the time change? DD's bedtime was 6pm but with the change it ended up being around 630. As predicted, it didn't help her sleep later or better- was up multiple times including an hour around 1am, then again up at 5am. She's sleeping now at 6am, so I'm wondering how she's going to adjust...My big issue is it being light out at bedtime. Even with room darkening curtains, her room is still light as day until the sun goes down. So frustrating. I'm dreading sunset getting later and later for this reason...any ideas? She needs to be asleep by 630 at the latest, since we're up around 5-6am every day and she never gets enough sleep as it is.
Anyone else with an 8-10 month old- how's nighttime going? Nightmare for us, literally...still up at least once a night usually with a feeding in there and multiple other times crying, fussing, etc. Around 5-7 months, she WAS sleeping solidly all night and has majorly regressed...can't take the sleep deprivation anymore.

Amanda Seyfried Gossip
Amanda Seyfried gossip, latest news, photos, and video.
Remembering Lilly Kane
Amanda Seyfried covers the new issue of Allure and most of the headlines are about her breasts because she talks about how they're not as big as they used to be: She once referred to her breasts in an interview as "sacks of fat," a description that she now reconsiders. Full Story
Worst Oscar Space Case: Amanda Seyfried
BROWN /KLAMAR /Merritt /Harrison /Djansezian /Buckner /Winter /Getty Images
Amanda Seyfried actually kind of makes me laugh at the best of times, and though I thought the Jimmy Kimmel piece was really overdone, I did like the part where she broke it down dancing in Cosette's clothes. She's harmless, she's entertaining at times, she's pretty cute. My issue with Amanda at this point is mostly that I wish she cared about herself a bit more. Full Story
Worst Globes Hair: Kate Hudson and Amanda Seyfried

My dear women of Hollywood, You may find yourselves surprised to be getting this award, for each of you has long, beautiful flowing tresses that you're known for. You may find me harsh in saying that you made a mistake with your hair, when you have long golden locks, and I have long struggling locks with a bump where I didn't dry the crown completely enough. Full Story
Mega Envy Face

How many times did Jennifer Lawrence win last night? A lot. I can't find the clip but did you see Amanda Seyfried's face when Lawrence was called up for Best Actress in Silver Linings Playbook? She was only shot in profile in the background but on Video Assumption I'd call it Mega Envy. Full Story
Les Miserables: an underdog?
LEON NEAL/ Stuart Wilson/ Getty
The new issue of The Hollywood Reporter features Les Miserables -- its film history, the journey of this particular iteration under the direction of Tom Hooper, the production, and the cast. The story that's told, at least at the beginning of the article, Nate Silver reference notwithstanding, is that this was always a risk. Full Story
Les Miserables on Election Night
Two new tv spots were released yesterday for Les Miserables, my favourite movie of the year. I already know it will be. I know I will love it. There is no way I won't love it. The clips were broadcast across several networks during election coverage. Anyway, obviously, I cried during both. Full Story
Les Miserables: the posters
Four new posters for the upcoming Les Miserables -- THE MOST ANTICIPATED MOVIE OF THE HOLIDAY SEASON (Hobbit what?) -- have been released but... and you know how much I love Les Miserables ... I hate them. Hate the cheesy tag lines even if they're germane to the story (Heart Full Of Love on a poster, I don't care how hard you try to argue it, is never not eye-rolly) and hate especially how glossy the women are. Full Story
Three Months More!
I have so many things to say and don't have the time or, frankly, the concentration to organise it all because... There's a new extended trailer, but really an abbreviated making-of feature, for Les Miserables - and NOT LES MIZ for Christ's sake! - that's just been released and. Full Story
How many times already?
How many times have you enjoyed the first teaser for Les Miserables? As I mentioned last week, many of the anticipated award films have been rolling out their previews the last couple of weeks. At this rate we should see something soon then from Anna Karenina. So... how's our list looking so far? In no particular order: The Master Anna Karenina Gatsby Django Unchained Lincoln Life Of Pi . Full Story
Amanda's weekends with Josh
Fame/Flynet, snitcherdesk.com/Splash
Amanda Seyfried was photographed in London for the first time last week in costume for Cosette in Les Miserables. By the weekend she was already back in LA - on Saturday out for lunch in Venice with boyfriend Josh Hartnett and then again yesterday at breakfast. That's how you make it work though, right? You have to spend the time. Full Story
Over & Under the Number 5
When did this become a PR rule for women in Hollywood? Never admit to sleeping with more than 5 men. Three years ago, Mariah Carey famously claimed: "Please! I never had any type of sexual relationship with (Eminem). I can count the number of people I've had sex with on fewer than the fingers on one hand. Full Story

Tontine Bonheur Group
Alidou is 43 years old and married to a homemaker. He has five children, three of whom go to school. He has been the leading member of the TONTINE BONHEUR savings group for quite some time, and he is requesting a fourth loan from WAGES for the purchase of farming tools.
He would like to buy a motorcycle, increase his surface area and build his own house.
Additional Information
More information about this loan
This loan is part of a special WAGES program for groups of Togolese farmers and livestock breeders, offering financing at a lower interest rate in addition to relevant training. The reduced interest rate is designed to hit a sweet spot, empowering clients in rural Togo to capture significant, impactful profits and become more financially stable after three credit cycles. WAGES is working with the Togolese government, Veterinarians Without Borders and the African Institute for Economic and Social Development to make this program possible. By supporting this loan, you're extending opportunity in a country where 70% of the population works in agriculture but financing options remain scarce.
About Women and Associations for Gain both Economic and SocialThis loan is administered by Women and Associations for Gain both Economic and Social (WAGES), Togo's second-largest microfinance institution. Along with a wide range of savings and loan products, WAGES offers its clients training programs in basic literacy, health care (HIV/AIDS and malaria), and business-related subjects (business management, marketing, accounting). You can show your support for WAGES by joining its lending team!
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

The record Powerball jackpot is now even bigger.
Powerball officials say they've boosted the jackpot for Wednesday's drawing to $500 million from the previously posted $425 million. Huge ticket sales nationally are pushing the payout higher.
A single winner choosing the cash payout will take home $327 million before taxes.
Record jackpots encourage players who usually sit on the sidelines to play and group purchases from work pools increase.
The jackpot is the largest ever for the Powerball game and the second largest lottery jackpot of all time, eclipsed only by the $656 million Mega Millions record set in March.

Pharrell Williams has no interest in waiting around until will.i.am files a proper lawsuit, it seems.
Just days after will.i.am filed a notice of opposition over Pharrell's i am OTHER creative venture, Pharrell has filed a lawsuit of his own.
TMZ reports that will.i.am sent Skateboard P a cease and desist letter informing P that he owns everything with a right to "I Am." In response, Pharrell appears to be suing will.i.am to prevent him from suing the Neptunes member.
In the suit, Pharrell argues that his use of "I Am" differs completely from will.i.am's use, in that the Black Eyed Peas frontman's use is akin to Dr. Suess' use in the beloved children's book "Green Eggs and Ham," which features a character named Sam I Am.
"In contrast, the I Am Other mark means 'I am something else,' leaving what that 'else' is to the imagination of the consumer," reads the suit. "It certainly does not mean 'I am Will.'"
Pharrell is asking that the New York federal court judge to whom the suit was filed give Pharrell written permission to keep using the "I Am Other" trademark.
"I am disappointed that Will, a fellow artist, would file a case against me," said Pharrell in a statement after will.i.am's notice last week. "I am someone who likes to talk things out and, in fact, I attempted to do just that on many occasions. I am surprised in how this is being handled and I am confident that Will's trademark claims will ultimately be found to be as meritless and ridiculous as I do."
(July 1)
will.i.am has countersued Pharrell over the use of I AM in I AM OTHER, reports TMZ. will.i.am believes that the use of I AM in I AM OTHER may confuse listeners because of their similarity in styles and the fact that they are both on Interscope Records, according to TMZ.
To support his lawsuit, will.i.am has stated that Pharrell has copied several others, according to documents obtained by TMZ. An example of this cited by will.i.am includes Pharrell's work as a co-founder of Star Trak Entertainment, which is likely a reference to Star Trek. Another example is Pharrell's attempt to register a trademark for Pink Slime, which will claims is similar to Mattel's Slime.
will.i.am also notes that Pharrell is being sued by Marvin Gaye's family over his recent work with "Blurred Lines."
will.i.am is seeking an unspecified amount of money, according to TMZ.

Sisters of Charity host youth homelessness forum
More than 1000 Ohio youth age out of foster care
CLEVELAND - The Sisters of Charity Foundation of Cleveland hosted Assuring Stable Homes, a conversation of how best to prevent homelessness of children who age out of foster care.
The Child Welfare League of America has sited national surveys showing that up to 24 percent of children will have experienced homelessness with four years of aging out of foster care. To help combat this problem, the YWCA of Cleveland created Independence Place , which offers homeless youth housing and supportive services. Independence Place provides a safe and nurturing environment for children to make the transition from foster care to independent living. The program serves youth in Cuyahoga County from ages 18-24.
Nan Roman, CEO of the National Alliance to End Homelessness , Gary Stangler, Executive Director of the Jim Casey Youth Opportunities Initiative, as well as representatives of local social service organizations and health care providers, gathered today at The Club at Cleveland Marriott Downtown at Key Center , 127 Public Square, Cleveland, Ohio.
Watch Newschannel5 at 11 p.m. for more coverage of the forum and the issue of young adult homelessness.

Mannarino's hairy situation needs managing - stat!
Yes ladies, gentlemen and those in between. This is the baller who beat Juan Martin del Potro 7-6(3), 7-6(7) at Queen's Club today. His name is Adrian Mannarino, a Frenchie who sits at 54th in the rankings, and he's got a hairy situation like no other.
I mean, how could the Argentine lose to someone whose hair role model is obviously Michael Myers?? Fine, it was great win for Manna but if he's going to deplete the Delpo HAWTNESS of a tourney like Queen's Club he should tame that whispy helmet and give us something pretty to look at. Or use conditioner. For the love.
More proof of Manna's hairy situation after the jump. And, remember: YOU'VE BEEN WARNED.

A Michigan candy company is recalling some of its sugar-free peanut butter fudge because an ingredient used to make it is associated with a recall linked to 35 salmonella illnesses in 19 states.
State officials say in a release Monday that Kilwins Quality Confections, Inc., of Petoskey, is recalling all 7-ounce packages of the peanut butter fudge sold in its retail stores between Oct. 1, 2011 and last Friday.
The packages bear the bar code 000648. No illnesses have been reported in connection with Kilwins' product.
The Food and Drug Administration says it has found salmonella at a Sunland, Inc., plant in New Mexico. The plant produces nut butters for national retailer Trader Joe's and several other grocery chains. The Trader Joe's peanut butter is linked to the salmonella illnesses.

I want to enable people to use LDAP to access their contacts from mail clients.
I would prefer if this information were not made public though... so I want to require authentication.
But Zimbra seems to use LDAP internally without authentication, and adding "require authc" to slapd.conf seems to stop mail sending etc from working
http://www.zimbra.com/forums/adminis...-security.html suggests blocking access to LDAP with the firewall but then people can't use it externally at all
Is there any way to configure openldap to do this or should I be filing something in bugzilla?

Obama Routs Republicans on Sequester as 56% of GOP Support His Balanced Approach
By: Jason EasleyFeb. 21st, 2013
Republicans have lost the sequester battle so comprehensively that according to the new USA Today/Pew Research poll, 56% of Republicans support Obamas balanced approach to reducing the deficit.
According to a new USA Today/Pew Research poll, http://www.people-press.org/2013/02/...uester-happen/ 49% of those surveyed support the presidents short term delay of the sequester. Forty percent think the spending cuts should be allowed to go into effect. The Republican argument that new tax revenue should not be a part of further deficit reduction is being soundly rejected. Seventy six percent of those surveyed believe that the president and congress should focus on lowering the deficit through a combination of tax increases and spending cuts. Only 19% agree with the Republican approach of spending cuts alone.Republicans have also lost a majority of their party on this issue. Fifty six percent of Republicans support Obamas balanced approach to reducing the deficit. Just 42% of Republicans support their own partys position that the deficit should be reduced through spending cuts alone, but seventy three percent of all of those surveyed think that the balanced approach should be weighted towards spending cuts.
The entire standoff over the sequester is centered around whether or not the cuts will be avoided with a balanced approach of revenue and cuts. Judging by this poll. it appears House Republicans dont have a leg to stand on. They dont have public support for their cuts only position, and they even lack the support of a majority of their own party.
President Obama has already won the messaging war on taxes, the deficit, and the sequester. His victory is so comprehensive that even a majority of Republicans support his position. This poll illustrates that Republican members of Congress are no longer only out of step with the rest of the country. On this issue, they are out of step with a majority of their own party.
This same poll found that if the sequester cuts go into effect, congressional Republicans will be blamed by 49%-31% margin. The Boehner plan to blame Obama for the sequester is now a verified flop. If House Republicans maintain their unpopular position, you can expect their percentage of the blame to increase in the coming days.
House Republicans arent going to win a battle of public opinion with President Obama. The more they try, the bigger they lose.

Romeo Santos Events
|Sorry, Romeo Santos tickets aren't available at this time.
Known to most simply as Romeo, former Aventura lead singer and Latin bachata king Romeo Santos was born in the Bronx and got his first taste of rhythm from the Dominican/Puerto Rican household where he was raised. His foundations in the Bronx hotbed of Latin, rap and R&B music led to the success of the bachata band Aventura including four sold-out nights at Madison Square Garden.
Following the peak of Aventura's popularity, Santos started his solo career with his debut album Fomula Vol. 1 and the red hot single You which sizzled all the way to the top of the Latin charts. Romeo Santos tickets were at least as popular if not more than those for Aventura as Santos began to cross-over into mainstream American fare, introducing a duet with Usher called Promise. Santos shrewdly stretched the envelope of traditional bachata to include bilingual Spanish-English lyrics and R&B rhythms. His widespread appeal coupled with a unique voice piqued the interest of Will Smith's production company Overbrook Entertainment which approached him about starring in a sitcom.
With a television deal and a best-selling album under his belt, Romeo Santos tour dates are blowing up! Don't' miss his latest crossover single All Aboard with Lil Wayne and pick up Romeo Santos concert tickets to see this rising star in person!

* The Cardboard Box Cat Fort
I started to call this post, "The Cat Box" and then I realized it sounds like
I'm writing a post about a litter box!
The girls call our big box fort, "The Cat Box" or "The Cat House".
"C" calls our sensory rice table the "Kitty Litter Box"
It was great fun and a wonderful photo prop at "C"s Pink Kitty 4th Birthday party
this past weekend.
It all started with a ginormous appliance box from our new wall ovens.
I actually had my hubby trim 2-3 feet off the box since it was taller than me!
Then, I cut an arched doorway and some window openings.
"C" helped me paint the box one sunny morning in the art studio.
A mini paint roller made it go pretty quickly, it took us about an hour to paint the whole thing.
Then, I painted kitty cats, grass, and a tree.
The scrapbook flowers are leftover from that cute book of punch-out flowers that we
used for our Heart-Shaped Re-Cycled Cereal BoxValentine holders.
(there is a link at the end of the heart box post if you're looking for your own
paper flower making book!)
Real buttons glued to the center of each flower
added the final perfect touch of whimsy.
We've had so much fun with our new box fort that it's living in our playroom
with plans to go out to the backyard shed for some yard/garden play once spring arrives!
Happy Fort Making!

Titanic – A Night to Remember
This year marks the 100th anniversary of the sinking of that unsinkable ship – the Titanic. Prior to it's sinking, it was certainly a good time with lots of food and plenty of booze consumed. The menus from the first and second class dining rooms are nothing but impressive. I can only imagine what drinks accompanied them. Folks back then knew how to throw them back. Poking around on the internet, I found that the ship carried cases upon cases of Champagne, wine and spirits. I would imagine that a good time was had by all until the ship went down.

Will TV Shows Help Save the Music Industry?
Increasingly, television shows such as Gossip Girl, America's Next Top Model and Pretty Little Liars are incorporating recording artists' songs into their scenes and then featuring them in online play lists. It may seem like a minor promotion to viewers, but the results have been nothing short of astounding for some bands.

ANCHORAGE, Alaska - Alaska State Troopers have fatally shot a man suspected of wounding a young Anchorage man at a cabin along the Parks Highway.
Agency spokeswoman Megan Peters said the armed man was killed as law enforcement officers attempted to arrest him at mid-day Friday.
Peters said the man who was killed has been tentatively identified as 34-year-old Atom Ziniewicz of Falls Church, Va.
The spokeswoman says 21-year-old Brenton Green of Anchorage and 21-year-old Kimberly Scharber of Wasilla were at a cabin early Friday near Mile 270 of the Parks Highway when they were confronted by a man armed with a handgun. Peters says the man threatened the couple and shot Green twice. Green and Scharber fled and reported the shooting to troopers in Fairbanks before 7 a.m.
State troopers, wildlife troopers and members of a regional Special Emergency Reaction Team responded and set up a perimeter.


text: With the draw results going to be posted very soon, I was just wondering what everybody applied for this year. I applied for Antelope-61, Deer-141 and elk-95. I hope I draw something but I won't hold my breath. I never draw but it is fun to play the game. Good luck to everyone in the draws, I hope you all draw that tag you've been waiting for.

"We knew it would be a tough game," said Kenedy head coach Lin Havron. "We control our own destiny though."
The Indians scored three times in the first quarter. The first score came with 7:32 on the clock as Billy Jones scored on a 1-yard run, with John Martinez kicking the PAT. Martinez went 5 for 6 on PAT attempts, only missing the final try of the game. The second score took place at the 4:46 mark from a 40-yard run by Ray Salazar. The last score of the quarter came with 24 seconds to go as Jones scored on a 77-yard run to put the Ganado lead at 21-0.
The second quarter's lone score came with 1:38 to go as Kyle Sparkman caught a pass from Salazar for the 20-yard score, putting the Indians' lead at 28-0 at the halftime break. Ganado's final scores of the game came in the third quarter and came from Ken Kocian, as he scored on 2-yard and 21-yard runs to put the final tally at 41-0.
Statistically, the Lions gained 91 yards of total offense, with 38 yards rushing over 18 carries and 53 yards passing over seven completions. The Indians, by comparison, gained 502 yards of total offense, with 447 yards rushing over 52 carries and 55 yards passing over three completions. In terms of penalties, the Lions were flagged seven times for 50 total yards and the Indians were flagged three times for 35 total yards.
"We'll rebound," said Havron. "We're always optimistic and the kids respond well after a loss. We knew being in this district that it would be a battle for third."
This week, the Lions will have their regular season finale as they travel to Yorktown to face the Wildcats. In recent years, the Lions and Wildcats have been no strangers to each other, trading victories in the regular season and postseason.
"It's just a matter of us executing," said Havron. "We match up better with Yorktown. It'll be a war. We're very familiar with each other."
Kickoff in Yorktown is set for Friday, November 2 at 7:30 p.m.

(REMSEN) – The fifth-ranked Gehlen Catholic girls hit the Christmas holiday break with a perfect 8-and-0 record Tuesday night with a 47-29 War Eagle Conference victory over Remsen St. Mary's. The Lady Jays closed the first half on a 9-3 run to take a ten-point lead at 21-11 and just steadily pulled away after halftime, leading by 18 after three quarters and eventually going ahead by 22 early in the fourth quarter. Gehlen has now won 14-of-the-last 15 from the Hawks. Emily Holtgrewe led a balanced attack for Gehlen with eleven points. Amber Timmins and Steph Rohe had ten each and Katelin Langel added nine. Lyndsie Schorg led St. Mary's with twelve. The Hawks fall to 2-and-7 for the season and 0-and-4 in the War Eagle Conference. Gehlen is 5-and-0 in the league.
In the boys half of the doubleheader in Remsen Tuesday night, Trevor Bouma ran off nine straight points in the middle of the first half to erase a 9-8 deficit and Gehlen Catholic steadily pulled away from that point to win 68-37 over Remsen St. Mary's. Bouma finished with a game-high 23 points. Michael Whitehead had 18 for the Jays. Beau Pick finished with 15 for the Hawks and Tyler Delperdang added 12. The win was the seventh in a row for Gehlen and sent the Jays to the holiday break with a 7-and-1 record and 5-and-0 in the War Eagle Conference race. The Hawks fall to 4-and-5 and 0-and-4 in league play.
Gehlen returns from the holiday break to host Akron-Westfield January 3rd.
(LE MARS) – Shane Graves hit a three-point play with two seconds left in overtime after a Paul Jacobson steal and pass and number-five Bishop Heelan handed number-seven Le Mars their first loss of the season, 59-56. The outcome leaves the Bulldogs with a 6-and-1 record at the holiday break while Heelan improves to 5-and-1. Graves finished with 25 points to match Le Mars' standout Austin Homan's 25 points for game-high scoring honors. Jordan Eisma had 14 for the Bulldogs and Cameron Farrell added 13 for the Crusaders. The two were tied at 52-all at the end of regulation play. Homan's basketball with two-tenths of a second left sent the game into overtime.
In the girls game, number-six Bishop Heelan remained unbeaten with a 77-50 win over Le Mars. The Crusaders built a nine-point lead by halftime and steadily pulled away after intermission. Madison Yohe led Heelan with 19 points and Natalie Vondrak added 16. Mary Kate Eckstaine had ten for Le Mars and Emily Ellefson tossed in nine. Bishop Heelan is 7-and-0 at the holiday break and Le Mars slips to 3-and-6.

Vicem 67 FlybridgeBy Jeffrey Moser
Every afternoon at just before sunset in Tuzla, Turkey, a small town approximately 15 miles outside of Istanbul, loudspeakers summon Muslims to Magrib, or sunset prayer. If you were just offshore in the Sea of Marmara at this time, the prayers coming from the loudspeakers would certainly float over the onion-shape minarets of the city's numerous mosques to reach your ears. Looking towards the shore, with the sun setting over the ancient boatbuilding city, would surely be an awesome sight.
It would also be a stunning setting in which new customers could sea trial a new Vicem. Indeed, says Dave Mallach of Down East Yachts, Vicem's U.S. distributor, "We [often] take owners on their maiden voyage at this time of day." Mallach explains that when the owners of Hull No. 1 of the 67 Flybridge visited Vicem's Tuzla factory, they were ecstatic with their boat and mesmerized by the local color that Turkey offered. They were equally enthralled with the spirit of Salah—an Arabic word that describes spiritual relationships and interactions and how they are communicated—and the way in which it makes the jump from religion to first-rate boatbuilding at Vicem.
The setting for my sea trial, Fort Lauderdale, Florida, was not quite as exotic as the waters off Asia Minor, though I doubt I'd have noticed the scenery no matter where I was after stepping aboard into the 67's saloon via a mahogany and glass sliding door. Salah is said to use intense concentration to obtain harmony and accord, and those characteristics are reflected in the 67's saloon: Occupying the entire 18'5" beam, its mahogany interior is simply astonishing. Honey-colored mahogany soles with sapele pommelle inlays play beautifully off the high-gloss Epifanes varnish of the dark, solid-mahogany cabinetry. In fact, most of the mahogany aboard is solid, with the exception of some of the larger bulkheads, which utilize veneers. Light from three big, forward-facing windows and four side windows, two of which slide open, and more than seven feet of headroom make the saloon open and airy.
While the mahogany is gorgeous, the artisanship applied to it places the Vicem's saloon in elite territory. A credenza that graces the saloon's port side features curved mahogany doors that open to reveal two sliding drawers stocked with wine glasses. To fill those glasses, another cabinet here houses a glass-front, 26-bottle wine cooler. And like nearly all the custom cabinetry aboard the 67, each cabinet door is louvered. This not only looks great, it allows for air circulation in spaces that are prone to mold. An optional 42-inch LCD TV (a 20-inch is standard) rises from the aft portion of the credenza and is easily viewable from the upholstered settee to starboard.
In addition to Vicem's meticulous craftsmanship, the ability to work with a semicustom builder was a big selling point for the owners, says Mallach. This is revealed in two ways: in the 67's interior decor and the design of her well-equipped galley.
The decor is by Sandy Mitchell Designs, and it is Mitchell, now Mrs. Brock, and her husband, former U.S. Senator Bill Brock, who are the owners of the 67 I am aboard. Because they reside in Annapolis, Maryland, the 67's style is Chesapeake classical rather than trendy. Mrs. Brock smartly allowed the mahogany interior to take center stage, choosing subtle colors for the settee, bedspreads, and pillows, except in the four-berth starboard stateroom that's reserved for the grandchildren, obviously fans of the vibrant hues and bold prints of Lilly Pulitzer.
The Brocks love to entertain and cook onboard their yacht, and nowhere was this more apparent than in the 67's galley. Three steps down from the saloon and to port, it's a distinct space that's also within easy conversation range of the saloon. Its array of high-end appliances would make Wolfgang Puck envious: A Wolf steamer and two-burner cooktop are set in a cream-colored marble countertop and flanked by a stainless steel sink that's deep enough to fit a tall colander of pasta. Stainless steel appliances—a Miele microwave/convection oven, a full-size Jenn-Air refrigerator/freezer, and a Fisher & Paykel drawer-style dishwasher—contrast nicely with the high-gloss mahogany of both the backsplash and cabinetry. There's an abundance of stowage as well, and for those bleary-eyed mornings that often follow a lively evening of entertaining aboard, a slick Jura Capresso automatic coffee/espresso maker is recessed into a drawer near the oven.
Although the spirit of Salah was obvious in the 67's layout and design, I wondered how it would translate during an offshore wring out. Unfortunately, an early-morning breeze that was blowing the flags stiffly at my hotel had waned, so while conditions offshore were gorgeous for cruising, they weren't ideal for a sea trial. Still, as I put the 67 through the paces from the flying bridge, some attributes shone through.
The first of these is the location of the starboard-side helm. Sightlines are excellent on three sides although somewhat limited aft—I'd add a docking camera just above the aft deck for this purpose. I also found both the optional Northstar 6000i and Furuno NavNet chartplotters here easy to read at a glance under full sunlight, while still keeping my focus on the horizon.
Optional power for the 67 is twin 1,100- or 1,360-hp MANs. But with the standard 900-hp MAN V8s, our 67 performed admirably, with a top end just less than 30 mph at 2300 rpm and a cruise of 27 mph. I found the smooth and responsive single-lever ZF electronic controls a great match. While she took about five boat lengths to come around during high-speed, 180-degree turns, her helm response was nearly instantaneous. Additionally, from a dead stop to WOT, my test boat saw a running angle that never exceeded 4 degrees.
As I steered the 67 through the crowd of boats and ships in Port Everglades Inlet, I reflected on her unusual pedigree. In fact, for a moment, as I stood at the helm and looked to the south over the four red-and-white towers of a powerplant, I swore I heard chanting being carried in on the light breeze.
Of course, it was my imagination—or maybe it was the spirit of Salah infused into the Vicem's cold-molded mahogany hull.

I am in the unique position of having a front row seat to some of the most egregious spending stupidity in our nation. It�s not scientific, but because I�m in the news media, I receive a lot of press releases. A large number of these come from politicians. It doesn�t take more than a couple of press releases touting the latest government accomplishment to figure out how we got into our current mess.
For example, the state recently successfully prosecuted a woman who billed Medicaid as a provider, which is a perfectly normal thing for a provider to do. Except that she billed more hours in a year than actually exist. In other words, she claimed to work as a therapist something like 26 hours a day, and it took the geniuses who were overseeing this woman�s claims over a year to figure out that you can�t work more hours than actually exist. Duh. A first-grader could do better.
Then there is Sen. Kay Hagan. I don�t want to pick on her because I am sure that other senators probably have an embarrassing number of riches on their staffs also, but they didn�t bombard me with dozens of mindless press releases. I counted at least three � maybe four (I can�t remember) � press assistants sending them out on her behalf. I finally managed to stop them after weeks of telling the senator�s staff that I highly doubted she was responsible for every positive thing that happened in North Carolina and to please go the heck away.
So that leads me to ask: Why does government believe it�s fine to employ staff for the sole purpose of manipulating the press and making the government (or bureaucrat or politician) look good? I have no problem with them marketing themselves on their own time and their own dime. But government organizations should not, in my opinion, be shelling out taxpayers� dollars to make them personally come across as competent. If they�re competent, we�ll be able to tell because they�ll actually do the jobs for which they were elected to office. It they�re not, well, shouldn�t we know that? And shouldn�t we be able to tell the difference without their help?
Government agencies should not have communications divisions, except to facilitate press inquiries. I have no trouble with an employee whose job it is to get the answers to a question so the professionals can do their jobs. But running interference by putting the best possible face on a political candidate? Nah. That�s where I draw the line and, for that matter, close my wallet.
Here�s to real transparency in government, starting with the elimination of publicly funded flaks. Government doesn�t need PR. It just needs to do its job the right way.
