Rumors persist that Batman's first sidekick Dick Grayson is featured in director Zack Snyder's upcoming Batman Vs. Superman, with Girls actor Adam Driver the frontrunner for the part. However, that's news to the actor.
"Not that I know of, no," Driver told Collider about playing Nightwing in the Man of Steel sequel. "If you find out, let me know, then I'll know."
"[It's] intensely flattering as you can imagine," he added. "I mean, it's Batman and Superman. Who doesn't want to be involved in something not only of that scale but of who those characters are? That's an incredible world to be able to be in for a bit. Like, who wouldn't want to do that?
Wants aside, it sounds like word of Driver's trip to Gotham City was premature. Don't cross his name off the list just yet, but we can downgrade the threat level a notch or two.
He's not right for Nightwing. Jason Todd, perhaps. But not Dick Grayson.
He'd be a good Jason but not Dick.
He's not even a good Jason. The Mad Hatter? That I could see…
Im thinking Clayface… little makeup would be needed – hes a mess…
What is it about this guy that brings out the superficial gay dudes?

Greeny: Curry's not injured, but he's hurt
Mike Greenberg explains that Stephen Curry being "hurt" is a valid reason why he's not playing up to expectations: "Sometimes it's not an excuse, it's a reason."

The combination of a Kevin Love outlet pass and a LeBron James dunk is a pleasant sight.
Kevin Love has won every playoff game he's played in America. He's 15-0. (h/t @NBAReddit) pic.twitter.com/mgJhOzKmAI
Hours after getting obliterated by the Cavs, the Raptors PG made the nice gesture of taking a few selfies with Cavs fans.
A young Thunder fan who dressed up as Adams isn't the only lookalike around.
Kyle Lowry once signed an offer sheet with the Cavs, and the fans in Cleveland still have respect for the Raptors PG.
There have now been 8 nba playoff games decided by more than 30 points...most ever in a single postseason...& we're not out of the 3rd round
"I've been a part of some very adverse situations. And I just didn't believe that this was one of them." - LeBron pic.twitter.com/Lbk7tl3PV3
The fans still have plenty of love for Mo Williams, who isn't getting as much playoff run in his second stint in Cleveland.
The @Raptors didn't show up. espn.go.com/video/clip?id=…
Matthew Dellavedova stops to sign autographs and take selfies with fans on his way out of The Q after a Game 5 win.

J.R. Smith on how the Cavs can bring their success in Cleveland on the road to Toronto for Game 6.
Kevin Love, LeBron James and Kyrie Irving combined for 71 points as the Cavaliers went up 31 points at the half and routed the Raptors 116-78.

The mood in the Cavs locker room could definitely be called "light." LeBron James is sitting in his locker icing his knees while dancing and singing along to "Back Stabbers" by the O'Jays.
It was a good night for Cleveland. The Cavs crushed the Raptors, and the #UFC announced heavyweight champ and Cleveland native Stipe Miocic will defend his title Sept. 10 at the Q.

If I were a more methodical observer, I could produce for you a long, well-documented and specifically annotated list of the birds we have been entertaining here at home during the last couple of months.
But I'm not, so let's just say this winter birds of all colors, sizes and feathers have been flocking together in great numbers to the feeders in our yard. Some of them show up on such a regular basis, I'm starting to consider them house pets. I admit I look forward to their daily visits.
It is likely that most of the birds I see as I look out my window from the kitchen table where I work are regulars. I certainly would hate to be accused of stereotyping, but most of these daily visitors are so similar as to be indistinguishable from one another, at least to me.
Now I'm sure to another titmouse, each one of its buddies who shows up at the tray feeder is recognizable as an individual, but from where I am sitting, all titmice are pretty much alike.
Although I don't run to my National Audubon Field Guide on a regular basis, I have learned to recognize a few species, if not individual birds. Chickadees and juncos, wrens and sparrows are frequent flyers to our tray feeder.
Several varieties of finches enjoy the feeder named specifically for them, and what could be more beautiful against the white snow than the red cardinals that bless us with their presence.
A few individual birds do stand out from the crowd at the feeders. This one may have a distinctive color or markings that cause me to pay closer attention; that one may be very aggressive or display other behaviors that are notable.
Like Hollywood stars, they are the celebrities of bird society in our little part of the world, and when they show up, I am likely to grab my camera and become a bird paparazzo.
During the winter months, we have the pleasure of watching several species of woodpeckers. Both the smallish downy and hairy woodpeckers are regulars at the tray. A red-bellied woodpecker visits on occasion, and once or twice I have been excited to see a redheaded woodpecker (the one with the round head that is completely red) clinging to the nearby tree waiting to work the suet feeder hanging from the post at the end of our stone walkway. One thing I like about woodpeckers is they are fairly easy to identify.
Two pileated woodpeckers are daily visitors I have come to expect. At about 19 inches, they are the biggest of the woodpeckers in our area. (By comparison, sparrows and finches are about 5 inches long.)
Pileated woodpeckers usually are shy and avoid humans, but hunger builds courage and, during the winter months, they will risk getting close to the house. I love to watch them approach, gracefully swooping down from one tree and then arcing back up to cling to another closer tree, cautiously coming nearer to the hanging suet.
I call the bigger one "Big Red" and the slightly smaller one "Lil' Red." As I say, they are shy and fly off at the slightest movement, but one day Big Red was clinging to a dying tree in our front yard excavating one of the species' distinctive squarish holes.
I went out to get the mail expecting him to fly off, but it was like I wasn't there. I got closer and closer, but he was obsessed with whatever was inside, possibly carpenter ants. I got my camera and managed to get some close-ups.
When spring comes, I suppose Big Red and Lil' Red will go back to the plentiful food supply in the thick woods and I won't see much of them until next winter. I'll miss them, but it is OK. I understand that to everything there is a season, especially for us bird paparazzi.

The resolution chart page is predictive of what me might see on a flat (planar) outdoor subject for the Hartblei 80/4. This page confirms those findings.
Images taken on the 24.4MP Nikon D3x. Try as I might, it's really hard to make a level image. A bubble level on camera top disagrees with the ballhead level, and both disagree with the built-in "virtual horizon". And unless I screw my head on straight in the morning, it's a challenge.
A Picture Control Contrast = +1 setting was used in Nikon Capture NX2 to compensate for the low contrast lighting. White balance was set to Cloudy. The f/11 frame was "pulled" -1/6 stop to better match the f/8 frame in brightness.

Salmon Creek — Peter Christensen and his miniature schnauzer, Mukaluka Dirtypaws, have been making weekly visits to Legacy Salmon Creek Medical Center since October 2010. As a therapy dog team, they bring comfort to patients and family alike.
Christensen and "Muka" enjoy putting on a show that's nothing short of a circus act, entertaining in the hospital's waiting rooms where families often have long waits. Muka makes a wonderful distraction whether he's walking on his front paws, saying his prayers, or packing his suitcase and jumping in himself for the finale.
The pair are registered with Delta Society, a nonprofit supporting therapy animal teams. Delta Society's Pet Partners program trains and screens volunteers with their pets so they can visit clients in hospitals, nursing homes, schools and other facilities.

text: Winter Weather The Latest on Winter Storm Jonas: Weather Advisories for W.Va. Expire By Dave Mistich, Ashton Marra & Liz McCormick • Jan 21, 2016 National Westher Service A foot or more of snow has fallen across parts of West Virginia, but winter weather advisories issued by the National Weather Service have all expired as a large winter storm moves out of the state. Flood Conditions Improve in Southern W.Va., Now What? By Jessica Lilly & Associated Press • Mar 5, 2015 courtesy Flood waters that left residents stranded in their homes have receded in most places, according to emergency services in some southern West Virginia Counties. The flood warning issued by the National Weather Service remains in effect until 6:45 p.m. Thursday for parts of West Virginia. Listen Listening... / 1:02 Listen State Officials Urge West Virginians to Stay Out of the Cold By Associated Press • Feb 19, 2015 Dave Mistich / West Virginia Public Broadcasting State officials are urging West Virginians to take precautions against bitter cold weather. Temperatures fell to record levels on Thursday morning in Bluefield and Lewisburg. The National Weather Service says the low temperature in Bluefield was 4 degrees below zero. The previous record for Feb. 19 was 3 degrees in 1993. Snowy Thanksgiving Travel Predicted By Associated Press • Nov 25, 2014 Cecelia Mason / West Virginia Public Broadcasting The National Weather Service says parts of West Virginia could get up to 7 inches of snow for the start of the busy Thanksgiving travel period. The weather service has issued a storm warning effective Wednesday in Greenbrier County. A storm watch is in place for 11 other counties, mostly in the northeastern part of the state. The counties in the watch area are Berkeley, Grant, Hampshire, Hardy, Jefferson, Mineral, Morgan, Pendleton, Pocahontas, Randolph and Tucker counties. West Virginia Spent Extra $13.5 Million De-Icing Roads By Associated Press • May 19, 2014 Janet Kunicki / West Virginia Public Broadcasting (File Photo) West Virginia's top transportation official says the state spent $13.5 million more than it expected to clear snowy, icy roads this winter. But Transportation Secretary Paul Mattox says extra revenue from motorist taxes more than covered the pressing winter road needs. Through April, state fuel and vehicle privilege taxes came in a combined $28.7 million higher than what the state projected. Registrations brought in an extra $2.6 million. Storm Breaks Cold Records in Several W.Va. Cities By Associated Press • Mar 5, 2014 Dave Mistich / West Virginia Public Broadcasting The winter of 2014 continues to break records in West Virginia. The National Weather Service says a blast of arctic air on Tuesday broke low temperature records for March 4 in Wheeling, Morgantown, Elkins and Lewisburg. In Elkins, the temperature dropped to minus-10 degrees. The previous record was minus-7 degrees in 1996. Red Cross Prepared for Next Storm By Beth Vorhees • Mar 3, 2014 Through the storm today, there have been no requests for emergency shelters, but the Red Cross was ready to provide them in any case. Red Cross Regional CEO Erica Mani says volunteers began preparing vehicles and supplies Friday afternoon in anticipation of the storm, but they weren't needed after all. Harsh Winter Reduces W.Va. DOT's Salt Supplies By Associated Press • Mar 3, 2014 Submitted Photo / WVDOT A harsh winter has reduced the state's supplies of salt used to treat snow and ice-covered roads. Department of Transportation spokeswoman Carrie Bly says the state is getting to the bottom of its salt supplies. 'Titan' Storm Closes Schools, Causes Delays in W.Va. By Associated Press & West Virginia Public Broadcasting • Mar 3, 2014 Dave Mistich / West Virginia Public Broadcasting Public schools across West Virginia are closed and some government offices are closing or delaying openings because of a winter storm. The storm began Sunday as rain and changed overnight to sleet and then snow. Winter storm warnings remain in effect through Monday evening for most of the state. Listen: A West Virginia Superintendent Sings to Announce Closings, Delays By Jessica Lilly • Feb 18, 2014 Winter weather has shut down government offices, shopping malls and, of course, public schools. School was in session for President's Day in some schools systems in order to make up for snow days. There's no doubt that children look forward to the automated calls from school administrators canceling or delaying school days. But some working parents dread those calls since another snow day means another day to find child care or even miss work. Fayette County Superintendent Keith Butcher is hoping to ease the tension by adding a melody to the message. W.Va. Shovels Out of Snowstorm By Jessica Lilly • Feb 13, 2014 Jessica Lilly Some parts of West Virginia are buried by more than a foot of snow as a winter storm barrels across the state. The National Weather Service (NWS) is calling for an additional accumulation of two to four inches throughout the day in several counties in the southern part of the state. Preliminary snowfall totals from the (NWS) include 18 inches in Mount Storm, 15 inches in Jefferson County, more than 14 inches in Ronceverte, and 16 inches in Athens. Residents across the state are shoveling out from the winter storm although snowfall is expected through the day. Power Crews Ready for Winter Storm By Jessica Lilly • Feb 12, 2014 Tim Doty Power crews are moving into the region along with the latest winter storm. In a release, Appalachian Power said nearly 100 contractors and employees moved into areas expected to experience the most severe effects of the storm. Phil Wright, Appalachian Power's vice president of distribution operations said in the release that colder temperatures and a lack of wind are expected to work in the power company's favor to limit wide-spread outages. West Virginia Prepares for Frigid Temperatures By Cecelia Mason • Jan 6, 2014 West Virginia is about to experience the coldest temperatures the state has seen in about 20 years. The National Weather Service issued the following winter weather message mentioning several counties in northern Virginia, western Maryland and eastern West Virginia this afternoon: Photos: Wintry Weather Hits Most of West Virginia By Dave Mistich • Dec 8, 2013 Jessica Kuniyoshi Residents around the state woke up to a wintry mix of snow, rain, and ice Sunday morning. In many areas, multiple inches have fallen and local authorities are cautioning residents not to travel unless absolutely necessary. Many events have been canceled throughout the state, so please check the organization sponsoring the event before traveling. Winter Weather on It's Way By Ashton Marra • Nov 26, 2013 National Weather Service The National Weather Service has issued a winter storm watch for most of the state Tuesday into Wednesday as a Nor'easter makes its way across the mid west and into the northeast. Meteorologist Ken Batty of the NWS said much of the state will experience light to moderate rain showers throughout the day Tuesday that will increase into the evening hours. The northern panhandle is the exception as they are experiencing colder temperatures already bringing them snow. Areas near Wheeling and Weirton will continue to see snowfall throughout the day Tuesday into Wednesday.


text: I picked up this Raleigh Clubman several ago and now it is time to move it out of the garage. Orig. owner said it was a 1979 model? It is fairly clean and mostly original (IMO) with Raleigh stamped components and wheels for the most part-Carlton built all 531 Reynolds tubes, but has been sitting for many years without activity. Unsure if the plastic fenders, light, etc., were an after thought or original to the bike? Any help on estimated value is appreciated.

always been a sucker for the newer incarnations of Kara Zor El/Supergirl
wonder what they will do for Cir El...
Awesome coloring work and detail. Love the shading and realism to her costume. Gorgeous job as always
Supergirl Rocks!
Do u take Request's?
This is the only costume in the 52 reboot that I actually like!
Knee-pads that don't cover the knees. As if a cape wasn't a useless enough accesory.
If only you drew for the comics, I think a lot of people would buy them.
sweet and awesome
very nice
beautiful and well detailed,colored
mmmm.... do those legs go ALL the way up, Miss?
Very Awesome! Her new outfit is growing on me. I love how you made her suit look like fabric with armor pieces sewn in.
Awesome artwork as always, even if the new 52 makes me cry
Supergirl looks very good, man! Beautiful!
Lovely colors^^
Very not bad. It'd be cool to see what you could do with Pilot Chase from Captain Power. The armor would be a prime candidate for your shading style.
Cool styley!

The arduous and sometimes emotionally taxing process of rehabilitating an injury is one of the least-visible aspects of organized athletics.
It's behind this sequence of closed doors Natasha Weddle gained a sense of who she was and what she would become.
The Indian Creek High School graduate, a member of the 1991 Indiana All-Star girls basketball team, is currently president and CEO of New Beginnings, a nonprofit she founded in Nashville, Tenn.
Weddle's business assists low-income women in the Nashville area transform their lives by maximizing the benefits of exercise and proper diet.
"My mission or my primary goal here is to empower women. Magic can happen in the weight room, and fitness and nutrition can be great platforms for developing personal growth," she said. "Being 6-foot-2, I understand body issues. A lot of these women are so busy taking care of everyone else, but they're terrible at taking care of themselves.
"I get so much from the relationships I get to build and just watching women transform themselves. We push people to grow, and growing is hard."
Weddle has been seated on enough training tables to know.
An ACL injury to her left knee during a pickup game in the spring of her senior year of high school preceded the two she experienced as a student-athlete at North Carolina State University, where she was a scholarship basketball player from 1991-1993.
In all, she's endured seven surgeries on the same knee, the last being three years ago when she had it replaced.
The 1,124 points Weddle tallied at Indian Creek places her fourth in career scoring behind Ally Lehman (1,928), Adrienne Squire (1,562) and Kylee Hamilton (1,360). Her skills gained her a certain measure of celebrity and a college education.
But it was the surgeries and hours of rehabilitation that gave her perspective.
"Honestly, I think I played in like two games (at NC State). I was always on crutches," said Weddle, who eventually transferred to and graduated from the University of Evansville. "It was heartbreaking, but I'm glad I went through that.
"It forced me to get another identity."
Weddle, like the clients she now coaches, had little choice but to forge ahead against her own physical battles.
The first injury prevented Weddle from anything more than late-game appearances in the annual home-and-home series against the Kentucky All-Stars.
As a member of the Wolfpack women's basketball program she gained a close-up look at the role proper strength training and conditioning play in one's recovery.
Transferring to Evansville and completing her basketball and academic pursuits in her home state only intensified Weddle's passion to give back doing something she loved.
"I was always rehabbing, and I just loved the weight room," Weddle said. "I had a strength coach at the University of Evansville, Jeff Sellers, who was very motivating and always gave the women's sports teams there a lot of attention."
After graduating in 1996, she immediately began aiming high. Some would say as high as a strength trainer could possibly aim during that time.
After corresponding with those in the strength training field at the University of Tennessee, Weddle drove to Knoxville to become a volunteer strength and conditioning assistant for the Vols' women's athletic programs.
Making ends meet meant working at a local pizzeria. Weddle also unloaded trucks for UPS at one point of her two-year stay at UT.
The experience proved critical in Weddle's professional development. Among the athletes she found herself working with were members of coach Pat Summitt's back-to-back national championship women's basketball teams of 1997 and 1998.
From there it was off to Kent State as a paid assistant strength coach from 1998-2000, followed by a five-year stint at Purdue University in essentially the same capacity.
Most recently, Weddle spent eight years at Vanderbilt University serving as director of strength and conditioning for women's basketball.
In time, the travel demands of Weddle's job began to wear her down.
A new challenge awaited. A New Beginning, to be precise.
The 6,000-square-foot facility Weddle now calls her work home also includes TNB Fitness, a business she started and presides over.
TNB's mission is to give women over 40 in and around Nashville a fitness option designed to differ from ordinary gyms.
Every client's individualized training regimen is designed to address specific problems, such as upper-body strength, endurance, flexibility, nutrition assistance and core strength.
A room filled with elaborate weight machines is not what Weddle offers. Instead, kettlebells often are used as are resistance bands and exercises utilizing a client's own body weight.
Perhaps best of all, a portion of each TNB client's membership fee is channeled toward The New Beginnings Center.
The two operations are working both separately and in unison in an effort to improve Tennessee's low ranking (39th) among the 50 states when in comes to overall wellness.
"I have five women who are over 300 pounds, and another four are over 250 pounds. It's a hill they have to climb, but this is not 'The Biggest Loser.' It's not about making these ladies look great in a bathing suit. It's about health. They're not coming to me because of vanity," Weddle said.
"A lot of women realize that the final third of their life isn't going to be what they envisioned unless they do something."
Trafalgar resident Connie Weddle used to feel the sting right along with Natasha, the second of her four children, every time she would undergo yet another knee surgery.
Yet the positive and at times life-altering impact her daughter is having on others two states away is a story that has come full-circle.
"The rehabilitation ... Natasha saw that side and wanted to help other people," Connie Weddle said. "That's the part I'm proudest of, and she gets to do what she loves.
"Not a lot of people get to say that."

Republicans block Tulsa judicial nominee as senators point fingers over inaction
WASHINGTON — Senate Republicans on Thursday blocked an attempt to confirm 17 nominees for federal judgeships, including one from Tulsa.
The move means Tulsa attorney John E. Dowdell — like Robert E. Bacharach, a U.S. magistrate judge in Oklahoma City — will have to wait until after the Nov. 6 presidential election to find out whether he will be confirmed. Senators and House members are expected to leave Washington this week until mid-November.
Dowdell has been nominated for a U.S. district judgeship in Tulsa and Bacharach for a seat on the 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, which is a step below the U.S. Supreme Court. Senate Republicans in July blocked an attempt by Democrats to get a vote on Bacharach.
Both Oklahoma nominees sailed through the Senate Judiciary Committee with bipartisan support and would be easily confirmed if not for presidential politics. Republicans have been blocking votes on judicial nominees for several weeks, hoping Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney will win the election and replace President Barack Obama's pending judicial nominees with his own.
Democrats have done the same thing in previous election years, though Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said Thursday they had not blocked district court nominees.
Reid tried Thursday to confirm 17 pending district court nominees by unanimous consent, a fast-track process in which there is no roll call vote.
Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vermont, chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, said Obama's first term may end with more judicial vacancies than when it began.
Senators point fingers
Reid's last-ditch effort on the judicial nominees came just a few hours after Republican senators made a series of speeches attacking Obama and Reid for a lack of leadership and inaction on the nation's problems.
Sen. Tom Coburn, R-Muskogee, one of about 30 senators who spoke, said the Senate, under Reid, was not confronting the hard decisions that had to be made.
Coburn said the Senate's failure to pass a plan addressing the nation's finances "is an absolute failure of leadership."
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., said, "Never before has a president and a Senate done so little to confront challenges so great."
Reid and other Democrats responded that Republicans had blocked consideration of numerous bills and tried to attach unrelated amendments to others. The first amendment offered on the highway bill, Reid said, was a GOP one on family planning.
Republicans were now holding up consideration of the defense bill, he said. Reid also blamed House Republicans for not taking up legislation that the Senate had managed to pass, including a long-term farm bill.
House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, said the House would "deal with the farm bill after the elections."

The Sideways Stories From Wayside School series is a popular series of 3 books by Louis Sachar. Sideways Stories From Wayside School, Wayside School is Falling Down and Wayside School Gets A Little Stranger are the three novel-length books. In 1989, Sachar also released a spinoff, which involves two books of mathematics and puzzles interspersed with stories: Sideways Arithmetic From Wayside School and More Sideways Arithmetic From Wayside School. The books tell many stories of a school built as a tower 30 stories high, with one room per story, but with no 19th story. Each book contains 30 chapters, called stories, complementing the 30 stories in the school.2 Comments

The Sametime Blog
Carl Tyler on the Sametime Proxy
Marlon Machado 100000PEST email@example.com Tags:  cebp sametime-proxy 1,853 Visits
Our good friend Carl Tyler blogged recently about his experience with the Sametime Proxy and its associated Web toolkit. As you all know, the Sametime Proxy was introduced in Sametime 8.5 to provide a way to surface Sametime services into Web applications using Dojo and Javascript. The new Web toolkit replaces the old STLinks toolkit and it's now the foundation for our integration strategy with WebSphere Portal and mobile devices.
If anyone's opinion should be taken into account on these things that would be Carl's. I'm pleased to see that he thinks we did a good job with the Proxy and that he qualifies it as a good replacement for STLinks. Thanks, Carl.
CEBP with Sametime and Ion Objects at Enterprise Connect

As you may know, I demonstrated our recent integration with Ion Objects at Lotusphere. I blogged about it way back in December and I got a few questions from some of you about the integration. I showed the integration live at the Sametime pedestal at Lotusphere and we're going to do the same at Enterprise Connect. This time, though, we're going to demonstrate the integration at the CEBP pedestal.
John Kotch, Founder and Chief architect of Ion Objects is going to stop by the CEBP pedestal throughout the week to hang out and talk about the many cool CEBP applications they're planning to offer their customers now that Sametime is just another object in their framework.
Make sure to stop by the CEBP pedestal if you want to learn more. Here's a short overview of the integration:

UC in Parts
Marlon Machado 100000PEST email@example.com Tags:  uc cebp 2,187 Visits
There's an interesting article in eWeek titled "Unified Communications Adopted in Parts by Many Companies" (you can find it here). The author touches on a series of interesting findings that validate my view that UC adoption is more effective in the context of enriching business processes to enable people to collaborate or to participate more effectively or, as we like to say, in the context of CEBP.
First, the author quotes Mathias Machowinsky, an analyst with Infonetics, who says UC can mean whatever you want it to mean. This is a good thing because no two companies do things the same way--well, they do but they don't. Case in point: all banks do loan origination but the people and the corporate culture of individual banks influence the way loan origination is actually executed. Those nuances are the reason collaboration and communication services may be needed (or not) to enhance the business process. This falls well in line with our view of CEBP: you don't do CEBP with a closed product; you need a platform flexible enough to allow you to do what you need.
Secondly, Machowinsky recognizes that multi-modality is key and he points out that there is no absolute definition for the most commonly used modes of communication; that each company has different requirements and that choices depend on need. Moreover, that choices are driven by the needs of day-to-day operations. Again, well in line with our vision. I've always said CEBP is driven by line-of-business, not by IT.
Then the author goes into whether UC solutions require a PBX. I say it depends: if there's a PBX in place, a sensible UC solution should leverage that investment and integrate with it to help the customer get the most out of it. From a CEBP perspective, what's needed is the ability to call a person, not a location or a device, in order to minimize or eliminate human latency. So, what matters is the ability to integrate with what's in place and with what people use.
I find it interesting that, in the article, a Chicago-based company decided to adopt Microsoft's UC solution integrated with an Avaya PBX but they still use an external audio conferencing service "...for investor calls where you may have a few thousand people." From a CEBP perspective, scalability and availability are crucial. Once you move from BP to CEBP and your corporate culture internalizes the new modus operandi it's hard to go back. It's like going back to a 2,400 baud modem after experiencing broadband.
Overall, I think it's a good article. It validates some of the principles upon which we've built our CEBP strategy and confirms many of the trends we're seeing in various industries. It's a good read.

About a week ago I wrote a post on this blog in which I asked our readers two questions:
I asked that any responses to these two questions be posted in the form of comments on the corresponding post. So far, I see 58 people have seen the post but no comments have been recorded.

Fair Questions--No (Friday Funnies) Soup For You!
Marlon Machado 100000PEST firstname.lastname@example.com Tags:  strategy web-browser expeditor cloud cebp 1,963 Visits
Today instead of giving you something to make you smile (or just roll your eyes) I would like to, instead, ask you, dear readers, a couple of questions.
I'm interested in your opinion because, first of all, I'm very curious about the make-up of the readership of this blog and I hope your feedback will give me a better idea of who actually reads this stuff. Secondly, because I think these are fair questions to ask.
The only thing I can promise you to do with your feedback is to internalize it and use it to enrich the awareness I rely on to nurture my decision making. If you feel so inclined as to indulging me with your feedback please feel free to comment on this post.
The first question I'd like to ask is: What's your take on the direction we're setting for the Sametime platform vis-a-vis CEBP? If you recall, our take on CEBP basically says that CEBP is about collaboration facilitated and empowered by unified communications. Moreover, we're saying that, to be effective, CEBP must be intimately linked to business process management (BPM). We call the whole thing BPM + UC² = CEBP and the BPM world looks at it as "Social BPM" (see this post for more on the philosophical underpinnings of this rationale).
My second question is: Do you see things such as CEBP and Cloud being delivered exclusively through the Web browser? The reason I'm asking is because we're seeing the Web browser as the easiest way to implement many of the CEBP scenarios we're working on. We're working with the WebSphere Portal team in building templates for industry use cases in banking, retail and insurance and a few work streams we're pursuing with the IBM BPM team and a few select business partners are also centered around Web browser interfaces. I'm also noticing the emergence of an unwritten assumption that everything coming from the Cloud must be delivered through the Web browser.
I don't think this should be the case because not all applications are suited for the browser--especially in situations involving task workers. I happen to believe the idea of heterogeneous mashups--the kinds of applications you build using Lotus Expeditor and, by extension, the Sametime Connect client--is also a viable proposition for both, CEBP and Cloud alongside the Web browser particularly for task workers.
I'm looking forward to hearing your opinion about these two issues.
Have a good weekend, everyone.
My CEBP is Better Than Your CEBP
I want to elaborate a bit on the ideas I rambled about on one of my previous posts about how UC without collaboration doesn't do the trick and how this makes IBM's vision for Communication-Enabled Business Processes (CEBP) better than our competitors'.
Humans are wired for communication. We just cannot shut up (some more than others) and that's why our brains developed the ability to create language as a coding system to express ideas. This is also the reason our bodies evolved to have the anatomical features that allow us to talk and not just grunt and howl at each other--we still do that in general but that's another story. In short, communication is natural to us and we will communicate no matter what; even when we have nothing important to say (Twitter anyone?)
Collaboration, on the other hand, is trickier. We are social animals but human nature is not necessarily wired for cooperation. Instead, we are wired for survival at a very individualistic level. Our brains have evolved to understand that cooperation is a more cost-effective way to survive than going it alone and, arguably, having learned to internalize that understanding is what makes us civilized. However, collaboration is learned behavior and that's why it doesn't come as natural as communication.
So, when we put the two together and we end up participating in a CEBP having the ability to communicate with others doesn't mean much unless we have something to talk about, i.e., a context. Some of our competitors will tell you that CEBP is all about adding voice to everything, which suits them well because they sell hardware and phones, but what do you do once you got the SIP session going? What do you say besides "Hello!"?
In my view, CEBP is as much about collaboration as it is about communication. In order to get there you need to create the conditions that will provide the context in which people will collaborate before they have anything meaningful to communicate about. This is known as Business Process Management, or BPM, and IBM is a strong player in this market.
For us, BPM is not just about automating everything and removing people from the picture. It's about optimizing and creating context. Collaboration is a new theme within BPM and there are new buzzwords such as "social BPM" and "people-centric BPM" that reflect the ways in which this may play out:. The way I see it, collaboration is the realm where people operate within an optimized business process and communication is what enables them to collaborate.
We always say we don't do just UC. Our thing is UC² (Unified Communications and Collaboration). When you do BPM+UC² you're bound to get a better CEBP as a result.
We're working with the IBM BPM team in building concrete scenarios for CEBP. We're just getting started and we're very excited about the possibilities. Stay tuned.
Sametime and WAS 7 FP CEA integration
Marlon Machado 100000PEST firstname.lastname@example.com Tags:  was cea sametime cebp 2,013 Visits
People are asking me about how one would integrate Sametime and the new WebSphere Application Server v7 Feature Pack for Communication-Enabled Applications (WAS 7 FP CEA). The answer is you use the new Sametime 8.5 Proxy Toolkit to aggregate the functionality at the user interface level on the Web browser and let the servers sit next to each other or, potentially, run on the same box--after all, the Sametime 8.5 Proxy server is a WAS-based REST services runtime.
A customer service scenario where a Web application provides WAS 7 FP CEA-based co-browsing and reactive click-to-call can be enriched by adding presence and instant messaging capabilities through the Sametime Proxy. Co-browsing can be greatly enhanced by giving customers the ability to chat with a specialist on the other end of the firewall when talking is not an option for whatever reason. The same goes for peer-to-peer co-browsing scenarios.
The integration itself should be pretty simple. In both cases, all it takes is importing CSS and Javascript files, adding a few lines of code to the page and that's it. Enabling a page for co-browsing, displaying LiveNames and giving users the ability to start a chat session should be a breeze to any Web developer.
A Comment on some CEBP literature.
Marlon Machado 100000PEST firstname.lastname@example.com Tags:  cebp sametime industries 2,131 Visits
I've been reading lots of literature about Communication-Enabled Business Processes, or CEBPs over the last few weeks. Most of it seems to revolve around the notion that CEBPs are nothing but voice-enabled business processes; that all you need to do to enable a business process with communications services is add voice to it. Other ideas around CEBPs call for taking the basic premise of eliminating human latency to the extreme and to actually measure how much a business process can be accelerated through communications enablement in actual minutes. I think both notions fail to present the full dimension of what CEBPs are and why we need them.
I agree that the main purpose of turning a regular business process into a CEBP is to deal with human latency. However, there are business processes in which human intervention is an intrinsic feature and, as a result, expected to be part of the process. I'm talking about processes where human decision-making must be rooted on reflection and careful evaluation of pros and cons, reflection that will invariable manifest itself as latency in the overall business process. I wouldn't mind, for instance, having my doctor taking enough time to evaluate the best treatment options for me or a fund manager taking time to go over a company's books and strategy before investing my money in it. What I would like is for both, my doctor and my broker, to be able to access all the contextual information they need to support the thought process and to have the tools to eliminate latency from their own decision-making process.
I think in these cases the goal behind communication-enabling business processes should be to prevent the process from slowing down as opposed to accelerating it just because faster is better. Doing this requires more than voice, chat and video. It requires a healthy combination of real-time and asynchronous communications and collaboration services to reduce not only human latency where needed but to enhance the context to support decision-making.
I think work styles have a lot to do with the perception that CEBPs are all about voice and reducing human latency. Traditional work styles tend to hover towards extremes: you're either sending email (the most asynchronous way of communication aside from snail mail and fax) or you get on the phone with that person if you can't walk into his or her office. And so, if these are your parameters, that's what you're going to try to optimize. When, on the other hand, you're used to live in a multimodal environment in which chat, voice, a blog post, an entry on a Wiki or a tweet can get you the information you need and when knowing the person who gave you the answer is just there without you having to talk directly to him or her, that's when you realize email and voice alone are way too extreme. Then you learn that just having access to the context in which that person operates can be enough.
Why am I talking about this? Well, this is how we define CEBPs in the Sametime world. We view Sametime as more than just real-time communications--hence the "UC²" thing. We do have the real-time communication capabilities that our competitors have and we also provide the asynchronous and context-based means to provide a better way to do CEBPs through Sametime Advanced and with the help of our sister products and I think we need to talk more about this. I know I should probably write this in a white paper at some point (and I will) but I thought it necessary to rant about it a bit here just to get it off my chest..
See you all in Orlando.

Paul Coro of The Arizona Republic: In mid-May, Suns President of Basketball Operations Lon Babby and newly hired General Manager Ryan McDonough met with Michael Beasley to lay out expectations for the summer. Beasley could not last three months before he let the Suns down again. His on-court regression might have been enough to cut ties but an early August arrest for marijuana possession in his car was intolerable. Faced with owing him $9 million of guaranteed contract, the Suns escaped the failed Beasley experiment with a buyout Tuesday that emphasizes a character standard which was overlooked last year and saves the club $2 million in salary and even more in cap hits for the next two years. Babby negotiated to reduce Beasley's salary for this season from $6 milliion to $4.67 million and next season's guaranteed $3 million of a $6 million salary to $2.33 million. Using the waive-and-spread provision of the collective bargaining agreement, the Suns will spread that $2.33 million in payment and cap hits over the years to $778,000 annually. The buyout, along with the ability to spread next year's salary, creates $1.4 million in cap space this year (now about $6.7 million of total space) and $2.2 million more of cap space next year.
Bob Young of The Arizona Republic: So long Michael Beasley, at least until your next court appearance. The Suns got it right Tuesday, announcing that they have waived Beasley after negotiating a buyout of what remains on his contract. Heck, they even managed to save themselves a couple of million and gave themselves some salary cap relief. But even if it had cost them every penny of the $9 million in guaranteed money they still owed Beasley, it would have been worth it to get rid of him. The Suns had to clean up the mess made by former general manager Lance Blanks, with approval of team president Lon Babby and owner Robert Sarver, after Beasley was arrested in Scottsdale for possession and where he still has a sexual assault investigation hanging over him. The Suns, after a disastrous couple of seasons, finally have begun to rebuild goodwill with their constituents. The last thing they needed on a roster full of young players and with a new head coach is a guy like Beasley.
Adam Green ArizonaSports.com: The Suns threw down their bet, and the dice came up snake eyes. They lost, plain and simple, and now they will look to move on from one of the worst mistakes the franchise has ever made. Yet, it was the right move to take achance last summer, just as it is the right call to end the relationship now, even though it will cost the team $7 million over the next few years to not have him around. Signing Beasley gave the Suns a shot at landing a star player at a time when, quite frankly, they had little ability to do so. Years of choosing mediocrity over bottoming out led to middling first-round draft picks, and refusing to part with aging veterans while they could have brought back more in return left them with little in the way of young talent to build around. Sure, the Suns had cap space, but they were not going to lure a big-time star to the desert last summer and were still a season away from landing the first top-five pick since 1987. They were in position to take a flyer on a player who, remember, was just a few seasons removed from being the second-overall pick in the NBA Draft. Had Beasley been able to turn his life around, the Suns very well could have landed an All-Star-caliber player at a time when they badly needed one. Of course, Beasley was unable to change, and now his once-promising career is on the ropes.
Dan McCarney of the San Antonio Express-News: America is addicted to sports, bringing with it the obsessive need to dissect even the most insignificant morsels of these silly games that command so much of our attention. (Of which this post, and web site, are but a tiny piece.) Those who exist under that white-hot glare experience the full spectrum of human judgments, not least of which is blame. Spurs coach Gregg Popovich experienced this during the Finals as he rarely, if ever, has during his Hall-of-Fame career. The details are permanently etched in Spurs lore: Spurs up five, less than half a minute remaining in Game 6, Popovich sits defensive anchor Tim Duncan for not one but two crucial possessions. Miami grabs an offensive rebound, and hits 3-pointers, on both to force overtime. The Heat win the game, and then the series two days later. A Google search for "Game 6 Gregg Popovich's fault" on Tuesday got 408,000 results. The general consensus among the critics: How could you possibly take Duncan, one of the best rebounders and defenders in the game, off the court for such a critical possession? Then, after that didn't work, how could you possibly do it again? Or as one poster at Pounding the Rock put it, Popovich overthought it so much that he underthought it. This line of thinking ignores two critical factors: 1. The Spurs had tremendous success subbing Duncan out for more mobile defenders on late defensive stands — typically Boris Diaw — throughout the season. 2. The odds of everything breaking the way it did down the stretch were so minute that the biggest factor, by a gigantic margin, was dumb luck.
Greg Cote of The Miami Herald: Heat star LeBron James is executive producer of a planned new hour-half sitcom on Starz tentatively led Survivor's Remorse. Set in north Philadelphia, it's about two men from the streets who achieve fame, one in the NBA, the other not, and how they deal with family, friends and changing attitudes about them. LeBron will not star in the show but clearly the premise is autobiographical. "I think the main thing for me is, making it out of a place where you're not supposed to. You're supposed to be a statistic and end up like the rest of the people in the inner city," James said. "When you make it out, everyone expects ... they automatically think that they made it out and it's very tough for a young African-American 18-year-old kid to now hold the responsibility of a whole city, of a whole community. I can relate to that."
Page Six of the New York Post: Jay Z is selling his minority ownership in the Brookyn Nets to coach Jason Kidd, sources exclusively tell Page Six. We're told Kidd will take over Jay's .067 percent (1/15th of a percent) stake in the team for about $500,000. The move comes as Jay was forced to sell his Nets shares over a conflict of interest after he started a sports agency, Roc Nation, signing clients including Yankee Robinson Cano and Oklahoma City star Kevin Durant. A source told us, "Other owners want to give Jason a part ownership of the team, and urged Jay to sell his shares to him."
Ailene Voisin of The Sacramento Bee: Rookie Ben McLemore must be a little prescient. A short while ago on Twitter, he alerted Kings fans that he was changing his jersey from No.16 to No.17 "for a good reason." Like the fact the organization plans to retire Peja Stojakovic's No.16 jersey in the near future? No confirmation yet - and nothing is imminent - but that's very likely the plan. Meantime, McLemore will stick with No.16 at least for the upcoming season. "We have considered retiring Peja's number," said team president Chris Granger, "and he certainly deserves that honor. (But) at this time, that's all I will say."
Ben Standig of CSN Washington: In a world in which the Wizards don't draft Otto Porter, Glen Rice Jr. or any wing player but instead selected an interior option (thus eliminating the need for Al Harrington), Rip Hamilton could have filled the veteran-scorer-off-the-bench-that-backs-up-Bradley Beal role. One issue with Hamilton is that his game has always required him running off constant picks to get open. When he was arguably the NBA's top mid-range shooter, cool, but that's far too big of a scheme tweak to make for a limited role player even if he can still score.
Bob Finnan of The News-Herald: Player development is the name of the game for the youthful Cavaliers. A league source said Steve Hetzel has accepted the job as head coach of the Canton Charge of the National Basketball Development League. He will replace former Charge coach Alex Jensen, who left after two seasons to become a developmental coach on Tyrone Corbin's staff with the Jazz. The Cavs are still reportedly working on contract details. They've put a strong emphasis on player development on the Cavs with so many young, emerging players. They have eight players on their roster 25 or younger, including rookies Anthony Bennett, Sergey Karasev and Carrick Felix. Phil Handy and Vitaly Potapenko make up the development staff on Mike Brown's staff. However, that's also Hetzel's strong suit.
Chris Haynes of CSNNW.com: Chicago Bulls head coach Tom Thibodeau has promoted assistant coach Adrian Griffin to lead assistant, a league source conveyed to CSNNW.com. The source spoke on the condition of anonymity because an announcement on the promotion has yet to be made. Griffin's advancement comes a little over two months since Chicago elected not to retain longtime lead assistant Ron Adams in late June. Adams has since joined the Boston Celtics' coaching staff.
Dan McCarney of the San Antonio Express-News: As much as their constellation of NBA stars, France's EuroBasket reputation is one of heartbreak and disappointment. Blowing a fourth-quarter lead against Greece in the 2005 semifinals. Doing the same thing against Russia in 2007. Destroyed by Spain in the 2009 quarterfinals. Rolled again by the Spanish in the 2011 finals. Including those defeats, France has never won the European title in 37 appearances dating back to 1935. Despite that history, and the absence of Bulls center Joakim Noah, Les Bleus enter this year's tournament, which starts today in Slovenia, as one of the favorites to challenge arch-rival Spain. British gambling house Ladbrokes puts France's odds at 7-2, the same as Greece and only slightly worse than Spain at 2-1. Much like his team back stateside in San Antonio, the French go largely as Spurs All-Star Tony Parker goes. The veteran point guard has endured a pair of scares with minor knee injuries, but he's shaken them off to enjoy a solid exhibition run-up that included yet another loss to Spain. He's joined by fellow Spurs Boris Diaw and Nando De Colo, which are pretty much the only three reasons the vast majority of Spurs fans will pay much, if any, attention to Europe's biennial championship. (Unless, of course, you're dying to get an early look at Marco Belinelli with Italy.)
Ryan Wolstat of the Toronto Sun: Canada hasn't been rolling like this since Steve Nash was a young pup. The senior men's hoops squad picked up its third win in four games at the FIBA Americas tournament Tuesday with a blowout 93-67 win over Uruguay. Canada clinched second place in its pool at 3-1 (though one win will not be carried forward because it came against a team that has been eliminated) with its second convincing win in four contests and heads forward in great shape. Four of the eight remaining teams will be knocked out, while the other four will advance both to the semi-finals and to next year's FIBA World Cup in Spain. The game was a challenge for both teams, since it was supposed to start eight hours earlier. However, the lights went out in Venezuela, forcing the long delay. … Canada will open the knockout round against Mexico, also 2-1, faces host Venezuela a day later, the Dominican Republic Friday and Argentina on Saturday to close the grueling stretch.
Mary Schmitt Boyer of The Plain Dealer: As a kid, C.J. Miles was not allowed to listen to rap music. His father, Calvin Andre Miles Sr., is a preacher (C.J. stands for Calvin Jr.) and the only music he allowed in the house was gospel, Al Green, and Michael Jackson. So what does he think about his son releasing a collection of his own rap songs on Twitter? "My dad was actually the person that encouraged me to do it,'' Miles said in a telephone interview ahead of the release. "He always told me since I was a kid that he felt like it was a big thing that I was drawn to. He always encouraged me to do it. He'll call me some days and say, 'Hey, boy, are you still rapping?''' The answer to that question is an emphatic yes. But Miles wants to make it clear that his music does not detract from his basketball. "My first love is still basketball,'' said the Cavs 26-year-old swingman, who averaged 11.2 points, 2.7 rebounds and 1.1 assists in 65 games last season, his first in Cleveland. "That's still what I'm the most passionate about, what I spend the most time on. When I have free time, I have these other outlets and interests.'' Miles has been involved with music his whole life. He and his parents, three siblings and even his grandmother all sang in the church choir. The first instrument Miles learned to play was the drums, which drove his parents nuts until the drum set mysteriously was ''lost'' in a move. "I figured it out when I was older,'' Miles said, laughing.

History of the Velsheda-The Velsheda was designed by Charles Nicholson and built by Camper & Nicholson in 1933 at Gosport for Mr. W.L. Stephenson, owner of the Woolworth chain of shops. She was Nicholson's second design for a J Class and Stephenson's second big yacht. "Velsheda" was named after Stephenson's three daughters, Velma, Sheila and Daphne. She raced with the greatest names in classic yachting including "Britannia", "Endeavour" and "Shamrock" between 1933 and 1936. In her second season she won more than 40 races and achieved an outstanding record of success at Regattas from Southend to Dartmouth. Other venues included Torbay, Swanage and of course the Solent, all under the control of the very famous Captain Mountfield. The permanent crew at that time was approximately 16 men and would have been augmented to around 30 for racing. When not required for sail changes, spare crew were moved below decks.

Hi there,
sorry to bother you... two days ago I got hacked (and they made it really well, even deleting my backup disk etc.) despite that I got a .sql to recover my database (i'll try to recover data as images and upload after this) and I found two problems:
1) Typical CHARSET problem: even when the .sql indicates that every tables is
ENGINE=MyISAM AUTO_INCREMENT=72796 DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8 ; when I see the site I got every single accent/character wrong like: "Denken Ãœber" instead of "Denken Über"
Any Idea on how to fix that?
2) The backup and the new install have different table suffixes; i.e.: i used to use wp_users and the default install on my new hosting is blog_S23rs_users
Question: Can I just change the table name or should I create the tables EXACTLY as in my backup? If so, how can I do that? :)
Many many thanks in advance
