The former closer, who was not offered a contract after his postseason meltdown last year, returned to the team and got a save for the Tigers.
DETROIT — Jose Valverde wasn't supposed to come back.
After his postseason meltdowns against Oakland and the Yankees, the Detroit Tigers didn't even offer him a contract at the end of last season. Flame-throwing prospect Bruce Rondon looked set to be the new closer.
It didn't quite work out that way. And now Valverde is back.
And he went right to work Wednesday night, getting the final three outs for a save in the Tigers' 7-5 victory over Kansas City.

After Rondon failed to win the job in spring training and the Tigers' closer-by-committee plan didn't work, general manager Dave Dombrowski decided Valverde wasn't such a bad option. Detroit signed him to a minor-league deal. And after only a couple of extended spring-training games and three innings in Class A ball, "The Great Potato" was ready to close again.
"I'm surprised at how quickly this has gone," Dombrowski said. "He's throwing 95 consistently, he's hitting 97 and his splitter is back. He looks like the pitcher we had two years ago."
Valverde showed up on Wednesday 15 pounds lighter, sporting a two-toned beard and having ditched his trademark glasses.
"I'm excited to be back," he said. "I'm back in Detroit with all my friends."
Rays, penguins chill
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Rays manager Joe Maddon brought a pair of penguins, Cliff and Shelly, to the clubhouse before Tampa Bay's game against the Yankees.
"It's a continuation of our attempt to get our players to chill out a bit," Maddon said.
Earlier this week, he brought a cockatoo to the clubhouse, and last weekend he had a DJ play music and a magician do card tricks.
• Jon Lester's 89th win for the Red Sox matched Babe Ruth for fifth place in club history among left-handers.
• The Orioles' string of 17 extra-inning wins was snapped by Toronto. It was the majors' longest streak since Pittsburgh won 21 straight in 1959-60.
• Rays 3B Evan Longoria went 0 for 4, stopping his streak of reaching base safely in 34 games dating to last season.
• Colorado's comeback win denied Atlanta RHP Tim Hudson his 200th career win. It was 48 degrees in Denver, more than double Tuesday's 23 degrees at first pitch.

I have the solution for this one, I just need a bit moreexplanation regarding the theory behind it.
A bird stands on a dc electric transmission line carrying2800A. The line has 2.5x10-5Ω resistance permeter and the bird's feet are 4.0cm apart. What is thepotential difference between the bird's feet?
The solution uses Δ V=IRd (d=distance) to solvethis. Why are we multiplying by distance if it is "permeter"? Why don't we divide?

Scouting report: Kansas City Chiefs
Chargers' next opponent
Kansas City Chiefs (0-2)
1:05 p.m. Sunday at Qualcomm Stadium
Two games into the 2011 campaign, the Kansas City Chiefs could already use a bye week. A bye month. Face it. A bye season.
The total pessimist – and there are more than a few in K.C., given the Chiefs' doldrums before last year's resurgence – would suggest that K.C.'s season already is over. As reigning AFC West champions, however, they are obligated to go on defending their rare title as best they can.
"The season will not be canceled as far as I know," beleaguered Chiefs coach Todd Haley has said. "What we have to do is we have to stop doing those things that are costing us dearly, and putting us in very difficult positions."
What's costing the Chiefs most dearly – and, sorry, but cannot be stopped – is injury. Then again, in Kansas City, that damage is done.
The thing the Chiefs had going for them at the outset of 2011 was the league's best running game, namely Jamaal Charles, who burned the Chargers for a 56-yard TD burst last year and averaged 6.4 yards per carry in 2010. Now he's done for the remainder of the year with a knee injury sustained in Detroit. The Chiefs trailed just 7-3 on the field goal kicked one snap after Charles went down. They lost 48-3.
Doing the math is painful when you add the 41-7 loss to Buffalo to Kansas City's ledger, but more importantly, the Chiefs also lost both safety Eric Berry and tight end Tony Moeaki to season-ending injuries. Add the absence of K.C.'s first-round draft choice, Jonathan Baldwin, who hurt his hand in a locker-room fight in camp and is yet to play.
Otherwise, the most striking and telling numbers are attached to five fumbles and four interceptions, putting the Chiefs on pace to set an NFL record for turnovers at 72. A year ago, K.C. was the picture of ball control with a total of six fumbles and eight interceptions over 16 games.
In sum, the Chiefs have been beaten by a combined 89-10 in what some considered the easy part of their schedule. As it happened, the Chargers were the lone team defeated last year by Kansas City that had a winning record, and that season-opening win vaulted the Chiefs to a 10-6 record and AFC West title. But the crummy teams in the NFC West and AFC South are off the schedule this year, and coming later is a five-game stretch against playoff teams from 2010. In the meantime, two of their games in the next five weeks are against San Diego.
Three players to watch
Matt Cassel, QB: The best thing the quarterback had going for him last year was Jamaal Charles and the best Cassel did was not throw passes to the other team very often. Don't think it a coincidence that after Charles was sidelined Sunday, Cassel was picked off thrice. Needing to complete just 10 of 22 passes for 68 yards in last year's season-opening shocker over the Chargers, Cassel underwent an emergency appendectomy just days before the rematch in San Diego, wherein the Chiefs showed up with Brodie Croyle at QB and got blanked 31-0.
Dexter McCluster/Thomas Jones, RB: The Chiefs aren't going to stop trying to run the ball and shouldn't, considering the depth they've been carrying at running back the last couple years. Though overshadowed by Charles, Jones recorded two 100-yard rushing games last year, raising his career total to 34. McCluster is much younger and much more electrifying, but less dependable. He's carried the ball 12 times for 93 yards in the first two games, but also fumbled in each of them. McCluster was the one who who started the Chargers' season-long special-teams nightmare with his 94-yard touchdown return with a punt.

In response to TheExaminer's comment:
There are multiple questions:
What would it cost to sign him long term? If he's as great as everyone is saying right now, maybe it takes a qualifying offer to keep him. Does anyone really think he's worth 14m?
What is his remaining upside versus downside potential?
Do we see him as the next Carlton Fisk?
If you think he'll break with tradition and continue this hot streak in the 2nd half, then fine, keep him. Otherwise I just don't see him as a lynchpin that gets us deep into October, as opposed to the right arm.

Seaport Capital selling stake in Mandalay Baseball, owner of the OKC RedHawks
Seaport Capital LLC, which includes a majority stake in Mandalay Baseball Properties, is selling its share of the holding company that owns five minor league baseball teams, according to Bloomberg.com. One of Mandalay's teams is the Oklahoma City RedHawks of the Triple-A Pacific Coast League.
Other teams owned by Mandalay are the Dayton Dragons, Erie Seawolves, Frisco Roughriders and Scranton Wilkes-Barre Railriders. Mandalay is half owner of the Railriders franchise, the Triple-A affiliate of the New York Yankees. The Yankees own the other half of the franchise. Bloomberg reported that the Mandalay-owned teams are expected to generate more than $40 million in revenue this year.
"It has run its course," said Bill Luby, a Seaport partner who overseas Mandalay Baseball. "We think we've developed a unique set of assets and that there's an opportunity to do a lot more."
Luby would not put a value on the company.
Investors in Mandalay Baseball Properties include Hall of Fame basketball player Magic Johnson, who is part-owner of the Los Angeles Dodgers; Peter Gruber, part owner of the Golden State Warriors and the Dodgers; and two-time Heisman Trophy winner Archie Griffin.

J M Barrie, author, playwright and creator of the much loved character Peter Pan, was born in this house on 9 May 1860. It was here that he spent his early years, growing up immersed in the traditions of the small weaving community, and finding inspiration in everything around him.
The house is now a museum dedicated to telling the story of J M Barrie. The exhibition rooms explore Barrie's life, the inspirations of his childhood and adult life, his route to success, literary and stage works, and his enduring connection with Kirriemuir. Furniture and personal items that belonged to Barrie help to tell the story.
Elsewhere in the house two rooms have been recreated to appear as they would have done when Barrie was a boy. Along with the wash house, where Barrie rehearsed and performed his childhood plays, these rooms give visitors a sense of what life was like in the busy Barrie household.

Just picked up a Motobecane 10 speed off CL. seller said it was "from the 1970s." Some rust on frame and spokes, but rims are in nice shape. shifts through all the gears, though some scraping the chain on the front derailleur. Says made in France, has Suntour shifters and some Weinneman (sp?) components as well. Rear tube and tire are shot, front seems ok. Cool paint job, which would be great to restore and touch up if possible.
Any thoughts? Was 40 bucks a decent deal for a fixer-upper?

Those look delicious! Thank you for the kind words about my artwork. I glue-stick my collage together. I love to start with a watercolor background and build on that. I dip my watercolor paper in a 'bath' and keep the prettiest ones to work with. I am woefully behind in doing collage. And wonder if I can find my way back again...lol. Do you have an art blog also?

I just made these according to the recipe. When I took them out of the oven, the filling was cooked completely through! It looked nothing like your picture. I'm not sure if you left out a step or something, but mine did not look like this. I'm modifying the baking time and adding the filling after the crust has cooked on its own to see if that makes a difference. Just wanted to let you know.

- Juliana Pulmakutsed said...
These are absolutely divine! However, I got only 12 out of this recipe- maybe the author used mini muffin tins..
I did put less sugar to the dough and one more spoon of lemon juice into the filling.

mmmm, lemon and shortbread. what's not to like?! and such a cute size too!

cake flour or all purose flour?:D
- May 7, 2016 at 8:43 AM
- GratefulPrayerThankfulHeart said...
All purpose flour.
- May 13, 2016 at 9:42 AM
- Corinne Harris said...
Can I refrigerate the dough overnight and then put it in the muffin pan the next day?
- May 25, 2016 at 2:23 PM
- GratefulPrayerThankfulHeart said...
I have never waited to complete the recipe but I guess the dough would be good if refrigerated. It takes just a little longer to make the lemon filling and bake and the finished tartlets keep well stored in the fridge.

"Trapped," Knott's Berry Farm's $60 maze, remains something of a mystery four days after the opening of Halloween Haunt.
The attraction was not part of Knott's publicity campaign for its 40th year of Haunts, and mainstream media hasn't paid much attention. Do a Google search on "Knott's" and "trapped" and you're apt to turn up stories about the riders who were stranded on Windseeker last week.
Even the theme park blogosphere has been silent. Maybe, like me, the bloggers don't want to spend $60 do find out what it's about.
Also, going through "Trapped" is a social activity. People go through the maze in groups of six. So if you don't bring five friends, it sounds like sitting at a Benihana teppanyaki table with a bunch of strangers.
But we have learned some things about "Trapped" from the forum at MiceChat.
The waiver guests are asked to sign seems like a publicity stunt.
Guests are asked to eat and touch gross things.
The maze begins with a rather disgusting room.
No one's in real danger, but each group is given a safe word. If anyone utters it, the whole group is ejected.

When Google Gives Us Lemons…
Both Avinash Kaushik and Jeff Jarvis tell us that we don't own our sites. In fact, our visitors / customers don't even own our site anymore. Google owns our site.
Need proof? Ask your mom to name her favorite store in the mall. Then ask her to their website online. If she doesn't use the search bar in her browser or go directly to Google.com, I'll give you a dollar.
We know people are creatures of habit. Search engines have become the main touch point in their online day-to-day. For many people, if you restrict their access to a search engine, they'll fall apart like I do when I'm given an O'doul's at a party. Why didn't your mother try to type the website directly into the URL bar?
On the bright side, when 50% of your natural search visits are from variations of your brand name or URL spelling, at least your numbers look good – that may give you some job security if you spin it right.
But Google is a pain in the ass because with all this ownership and inside data, they don't really play well with others. They don't share. Take WMT for example – it's very thin data in the grand scheme of things. It's like giving a free sample, but never letting you buy the product.
And what's with the rich snippets? I give you the content, and you post it in your result pages? I want people to click through. How do I know they're not clicking through? Because I'm not even clicking through on my own site. I've been sucked into the Google vortex.
Don't get me started on feeds, schema.org, or Google Places.
Granted, there's a lot to gripe about. When I go to a search convention, I see I'm not alone. I never skip a panel with a Googler – it's always a fun beatdown. But the same thing happens every time. By the end of the scolding, the Googler – be it an engineer or product manager, essentially commits social suicide, as he throws his hands in the air with the answer, "I don't know." As hard as he tries, he can't answer all the questions he gets. It's not always because he's not allowed to, but I think it's because he doesn't know how to.
I think there are ghosts in the machine. I envision Dali painting with a thousands of gears all clumped together. Turn one, there's no telling how many others will connect. At this point, I don't think Google knows. They can try to reshape the monstrosity, but at this point the algorithm has to be pretty insurmountable. Add on top of this, there are several other algorithms running different Google properties that are probably comparably unruly.
But let's face it. Google created this mess, and search engines created the SEO – both the good and the bad ones. But despite the hat you wear, we're all dealing with our own KPI's against this mutant algorithm. So are our competitors. Trial and error, testing, and patience are the key to building your experience. When you put together a marketing strategy, you're typically trying to overcome an obstacle. You're putting together a plan to move past the immovable objects. Google is an immovable object, so the SEO needs to strategize with that in mind. That's far different than what many SEOs do by trying to defeat or complain about it. Since goal setting is the key to proper strategy, the SEO (and the employer of the SEO) need to plan touchpoints that accept these realities.
Things to ask yourself when choosing your tactics:
- Why do I think this tactic will work? (What experience or data do you have)
- What will this affect if it does not work? (Will your scheduled touchpoints be affected)
- What is this tactic's plan B? (To stay on schedule, what is your alternative tactic and bandwidth)
- What are the points where we measure and analyze? (When do you take a break and make sure you're on track)
- When is it time to abandon the strategy? (Sometimes your best plans fall flat – be willing to accept that)
With this clarity comes opportunity. Again, many of our competitors are dealing with Google head on, and trying to plow through the algorithm instead of dance with it. They're probably granted the same amount of time and budget as you. SEO is a household word in business, but it's still rarely done right in the grand scheme of things. Spend some time with a clear understanding of what Google really is to your website, and spend more time in the planning stage.

Interesting angle. I think some SEOs would argue that it can be dismantled though.

Interesting angle. I think some SEOs would argue that it can be dismantled though.
There are tribes of SEO's who focus on reverse engineering the engine. They could be hobbyists or spammers or some other interest group, but my point is that unlike 5-10 years ago, this thing is a mess.
Some SEO's are very successful at swinging their sledgehammer into the algorithm and taking out a chunk, and getting good ranking success on some keywords, but nobody has ever really come close to solving Google today. If they have, they sure kept quiet about it.

Godspeed You Black Emperor! - F# A# (Infinity) Music Review
- next ›
- 130 of 589
- ‹ previous
Godspeed You Black Emperor! (or GYBE) is a Canadian post-rock band formed in 1994. Post-rock, for those who don't really know, is a subgenre of rock that uses instruments found in rock (like guitar, drums, bass, etc.), but uses rhythms not really found in rock. They also use the guitars less for melody and more for texture. In the case of GYBE, they had 20 members of the band creating this album over the course of three years. Twenty members! That's, like, quadruple the amount of a regular rock band.
GYBE uses this rock-influenced composition normally found in stuff like classical music or orchestras, with instruments like bagpipes, violin, cello, French horn, and various percussion on top of the standard rock instruments like bass, guitar, and drums. With all of this together, GYBE creates such beautiful music that it might as well be played in an orchestra instead of recorded in an empty hotel room.
Track 1
"Dead Flag Blues," the first track in the album, opens up with a very eerie and atmospheric introduction with a dark narrative describing a very poor city where the government is corrupt and the people are drugged and hopeless. The narrator describes vivid images like broken cars on fire, dead people in sewers, buildings collapsing on themselves and mothers clutching their babies. Then, a nice string melody and slow guitar playing comes in. After that, it sort of crescendos a bit until it slows down into sounds of trains and distorted sound effects. It eventually turns into a nice Western melody and speeds up a little bit as if the trains are taking you to a better place.
Listen to "Dead Flag Blues" on YouTube:
Track 2
"East Hastings," the second track, comes in with a preacher spouting random religious things, followed by the same bagpipe/violin and ominous melody found in the first introduction, as if to say this new song is not any different from the beginning one. It's a bit slower to pick up on this track, since the beginning parts have more focus on some dark ambient stuff before the guitars come in, but it still adds to that atmospheric and dark postmodern feel, and I can't really complain.
Once it gets to around six minutes or so into the track, it starts to pick up a lot faster with drums, guitar, violin, and cello, but then slows down into complete silence. A nice guitar melody then comes in with a surprisingly loud burst of strings coming in every once in a while that caught me off guard because everything else was so quiet. I really love this crescendo because it starts to get really fast and really loud. It also gets super intense with all these instruments playing at once at such a high speed, and then it stops with a crash. After that, it's just some ambient stuff and distorted noises with some nice echoing reverb on the guitar that fills the empty spaces with tons of sounds.
Final Track
"Providence," the last track, opens up with the same clicky noises from the last couple of seconds from the previous tracks, along with a field recording of a guy talking about his disbelief at the preacher's callings of the end of the world. After that follows some repeating droning noises for about two minutes, then silence. A slow and sad melody from the strings and concert bells then comes in for a while. This song is significantly longer than the previous two, so it takes a lot longer to pick up speed, which is something some people may not like that much.
However, around seven-and-a-half minutes, it starts to pick up with some fast drum patterns and bass along with a nice guitar melody. This part is also another fantastic crescendo that's much longer than the one in the second song, with the same type of intensity that gets you pumped up by how fast the drums are playing and the instruments following it. After that comes some heavily distorted singing filled with reverb that I can't really understand. Once all of that weirdness goes away, in comes the final crescendo, which is very epic and filled with a wall of sound on the right side, and tons of other instruments playing on the left. A collage of random sounds and drones finishes off the track. After about four minutes of silence, which I didn't really enjoy waiting through, a "hidden track" enters at the end to finish the album.
This album is just so good. Not only is it a great journey to go through, but the music is so unique and powerful for the listener too. Nothing like this has been made before, and it's such a hard feat to pull off. This album and the group are as much classical as they are rock. They are able to blend so many different styles of music together into a perfect composition that couldn't really be copied successfully back at that time in the '90s. In conclusion, I give this album a 9.5/10.

another good choice
This was kind of a big thing when i was in college. I bought it on vinyl when it came out and the pressing was very impressive, with embossed lettering and a picture glued to the cover. It also came with a bunch of interesting inserts, as the discogs listing describes: "a penny crushed on Montreal railroad tracks, blueprint album graphic and notes, credit sheet and reproduction of an early GY!BE show handbill - all placed inside a plain manila envelope (original first run of 500 featured acetone transfers hand-printed on each envelope). Additional 8"x8" insert card of train locomotive image silkscreened in various colours on various recycled papers over the years."

Join Couchsurfing to see MarcDeb's full profile. It's free!
About Me
Soaking up the island life in Guam....Deb. Marc is living in the USA
We are a Couple who lives in Virginia, but grew up in NY. We both have passion for traveling and between us we have been to over 30 different countries on 5 Continents. Marc was born abroad and Deb has lived abroad. We especially like to do off-the tourist path things. We are both certified scuba divers.
We both enjoy traveling very much as it opens us up to new experiences that we can not obtain from reading a book, watching a movie, or learning in school. Everyone gains a perspective on life that is shaped by his or her own personal experience. Meeting people lets us learn the perspectives of others and also helps us to expand our own.
Why I'm on Couchsurfing
We are new to this experience, so when we return to the USA we will host others.
We have both met people from couchsurfing in South America, Asia and USA. We have hosted in the USA. Deb found out about the site from a friend in Europe.
We both love to travel, wine taste, watch foreign movies. Deb loves to do yoga and hike, while Marc likes to scuba dive and watch hockey.
Music, Movies, and Books
Marc loves the Latin American Film Festival that happens each year in Washington DC. I also enjoy watching other foreign films as well. We recently saw a film at the Jewish American Festival in Washington D.C.
One Amazing Thing I've Done
In 2008 Marc went to the Chu-Chi Tunnels in Vietnam. These were some of the tunnels used by the VietCong in the Vietnam/American war. The ingenuity of the Vietnamese people was very fascinating. Also the New Years Celebration at Copacabana Beach in Rio de Janero in Brasil is the most amazing holiday celebration I have ever seen.

On November 19, Joseph Smith, Jr., the Monitor of the national mortgage settlement, released a report on the consumer relief activities of the five banks that are parties to the settlement. Between March 1, 2012 and September 30, 2012, those banks extended more than $26 billion in relief to more than 300,000 borrowers. The relief provided by the banks, discussed in detail in the report includes (i) first and second lien modifications, (ii) enhanced borrower transitional funds, (iii) facilitation of short sales, (iv) deficiency waivers, (v) forbearance for unemployed borrowers, (vi) anti-blight activities, (vii) benefits for members of the armed services and (viii) refinancing programs. The report also provides an update regarding the status of implementation of the mortgage servicing standards required by the settlement, noting that as of September 25, 2012, the Monitor and the banks had agreed to a series of work plans that will guide reviews of each banks' compliance with the new standards.

It was pointed out that a quote from Father George Coyne which I shared recently doesn't quite put things accurately. I was able to track down some of the sources that were drawn on to make the composite quotation. The more problematic part comes from the interview with Richard Dawkins given above, in which Coyne is speaking off the cuff and so not articulating things as precisely as might be expected (although the wording is still surprising). Part of the quotation comes from an article in USA Today. And part seems to be from this interview with Bill Maher in Religulous:

Quest Diagnostics Ltd. (NYSE: DGX )
climbed nearly 3% today to $59.87. The company has confirmed it
will release quarterly earnings results on Wednesday prior to the
open. At least one investor on Monday expressed a bullish view by
buying calls looking for a potential bump in the stock.
Looking at the May 65 calls, we find that more than 9,000
contracts traded on the day. Open interest in these calls was 5,353
contracts at the start of the day. What is most noteworthy about
this volume is that most of the activity is on the buy side,
meaning there are more buyers of these calls than sellers. The
buying is understandable for two reasons. The first is that in the
May options, the investor will own the options at the time that
earnings are announced Wednesday. But a second catalyst for the
buying could be the fact that rumors have been making the rounds
that DGX could be a potential acquisition target. The name that
made the rounds as the possible suitor was
Merck & Co. Inc. (NYSE: MRK )
The May 65 call options traded for the majority of the day for
approximately 45 cents per contract. At that price, the buyer just
needs the stock to be above $65.45 to be in the money at
expiration, unless the calls rally prior to expiration, in which
case the investor could elect to sell out the calls and lock in
profits. For example, the calls finished the day at 55 cents, so
the investor is already up a tidy 22% on their $400,000

Now, the wonderful part of the week is the culmination of the Thanksgiving Food Drive. The parish I work for has a wonderful Help committee and team. It is led by a good friend of mine and she is tireless and fearless. She has been battling cancer and a heart condition and she has worked all through it. She is my hero. (I do not put her name or picture of her here because I know she would not want that.)
The Thanksgiving drive is led by three of my Christ Renews sisters. They are awesome and have turned this into a very organized event. It is amazing how smooth it runs. This year over 350 families were fed… over 1500 people. Like everywhere else, this area has been hit by the economy, and some of the people on the receiving end have difficulty being there. This is not normal for them.
Yesterday was very emotional and so many volunteered their time, labor, and money. This is what greeted me yesterday around 7:15 a.m.
There were rows and rows of these boxes filled with all sorts of food items.
All morning people were lined up to take the boxes with additional perishable goods to the homes of the recipients.
The drivers bring back undeliverable boxes where people are not at home or just don't live there anymore. There weren't many of those, but they did exist.
Unfortunately, we also had a couple of situations where the recipients know how to work the system and sign up at different food pantries under different family names and end up with multiples of both Thanksgiving and Christmas gifts. It makes us sad because there are so many who need this. I believe that karma will take care of those people. I have to believe that.
If you ever have an opportunity to take part in something like this… do! You can contribute hard work if other options are not available. Everything is appreciated. Helping is what sees us through these times.

How secure would your business be, if a high quality competitor turned up in front of your clients and future clients today?
Most people only consider this, after the fact. They wait until a new competing business, product or service shows up and THEN figure out how to respond.

Listen to your marketplace, find out what concerns them and figure out how to help them. This will make your existing clients love you and ensure you attract a regular supply of new clients too.
Of course, I recommend you simply avoid having any competitors.

Driver & Courier Scheduling: Delivery Express, Inc.
Delivery Express, Inc. (DLX), headquartered in Renton, WA, is a courier and logistics company serving the western Washington area.
DLX manages 80-100 drivers depending on the season, and covers three types of business: Dedicated pickup & delivery — supported by full time drivers; Distribution & logistics — flex drivers covering flex routes; and Courier services — on-call drivers who respond to real-time courier requests that vary hour by hour each day.
The Challenge
DLX suffered from a communication problem as the business grew. Scheduling information was spread over three locations. Excel was the main scheduling tool, but as VP of Operations Mike Moraski explained, "Excel just sits on someone's desktop. As soon as the schedule was printed, it was already out of date."
The dispatchers, who make constant adjustments throughout the day, referenced the Excel schedule, called the drivers, and tried to keep a web calendar updated. Drivers changed their availability by either faxing a form to the dispatchers, calling in, or stopping by the office. "It was cumbersome, took a lot of time, and a lot of information was being lost," Moraski said.
Moraski led the evaluation of a new system, which required:
- A single repository for all schedule information, updated in real-time
- Online scheduling accessible with any web browser
- Ease of use and significant time savings over the current process
Shiftboard Driver Scheduling Software
DLX chose Shiftboard and implemented online scheduling in two stages.
"We started with schedulers and dispatchers first, so everyone could see everything," Moraski said. "Before, there was no visual of routes and drivers. Now, we just look up the driver and round. Shiftboard has become a hub of what's going on day-to-day. "
The second step involved getting the drivers to view their schedules and update their status directly online. Dispatchers and schedulers could then see everything in real-time. "At this point, there is no confusion," Moraski said. "Did you put it into Shiftboard? If not, you didn't tell anyone."
Shiftboard also includes powerful management reporting, such as an hourly view designed with direct input from Moraski and a few other Shiftboard customers. "Hourly reporting is a big tool for us," Moraski said. "We can see how many drivers we have each hour of the day. Then we can match drivers to demand. It's a type of report Excel just can't do. "
Moraski says online scheduling with Shiftboard has been very well received by the entire DLX team. "Like any change, there was some resistance at first... but now people use it as an overall communication tool," he said. "Drivers really like it because now they can tell us their status with a couple of clicks instead of faxing. Shiftboard has allowed us to work easier and smarter."

Allot Communications Releases Financial Results
Feb 08, 2013 (Close-Up Media via COMTEX) -- Allot Communications, a supplier of service optimization and revenue generation solutions for fixed and mobile broadband service providers, announced its fourth quarter and year end 2012 results, with a significant increase in annual revenues.
In a release on February 5, the Company noted that on a non-GAAP basis, excluding the impact of share-based compensation, settlement of repayment of grants to the OCS, revenue adjustment due to acquisitions, expenses related to M&A activity, deferred tax assets and amortization of certain intangibles, revenues for the fourth quarter of 2012 reached $28.5 million, and non-GAAP net profit for the fourth quarter of 2012 totaled $4.6 million, or $0.14 per basic and diluted share, compared with non-GAAP net profit of $4.2 million, or $0.15 per basic share and $0.14 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2011, and non-GAAP net profit of $5.1 million or $0.16 per basic share and $0.15 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2012. For the full year 2012, excluding the impact of the factors mentioned above, non-GAAP revenue reached $107.1 million, compared with $77.8 million for the full year 2011, and net profit for the year reached $19.8 million, or $0.62 per basic share and $0.59 per diluted share, compared with non-GAAP net profit of $12.5 million, or $0.50 per basic share and $0.46 per diluted share, for the full year 2011.
The discrepancy between GAAP and non-GAAP revenues is related to the acquisitions made by the Company during the year, and represents revenues adjusted for impact of the fair value adjustment to acquired deferred revenue related to purchase accounting.
These non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, comparable GAAP measures.
Total GAAP revenues for the fourth quarter of 2012 reached $26.4 million, a 20 percent increase from the $22.0 million of revenues reported for the fourth quarter of 2011, and a decline from the $27.8 million of revenues reported for the third quarter of 2012. On a GAAP basis, net loss for the fourth quarter of 2012 was $15.1 million, or $0.46 per basic and diluted share. This compares with net profit of $3.5 million, or $0.13 per basic share and $0.12 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of 2011, and net profit of $2.4 million, or $0.07 per basic share and diluted share, in the third quarter of 2012. For the full year 2012, GAAP revenues reached $104.8 million, representing a 35 percent increase over the $77.8 million of revenues in 2011. On a GAAP basis, net loss for the year 2012 was $6.7 million, or $0.21 per basic and diluted share, as compared with net profit of $8.8 million, or $0.35 per basic share and $0.33 per diluted share, in 2011.
During December 2012, the Company recorded a liability for the early payment of $15.9 million due to settlement with the Israeli Office of Chief Scientist (OCS), representing the full balance of the contingent liability related to grants received, which will be paid during the first quarter of 2013. Upon making this payment, the Company will eliminate all future royalty obligations related to its anticipated revenues and save the associated future interest payments related to such obligations, as well as entitle it to apply to a grant program with the OCS with no repayment obligations. These expenses are included in the cost of goods sold reported for the quarter.
"Allot demonstrated significant revenue growth in 2012 despite a challenging macroeconomic environment, particularly in Europe," commented Rami Hadar, Allot Communications' President and Chief Executive Officer. "With the completion of two acquisitions during the year, we now offer a comprehensive video solution to empower our customers to optimize and monetize on Over the Top ("OTT") delivery of video based content and applications. We also delivered on our promise to complete initial commercial deployments with two nationwide mobile operators in the US, in addition to our significant and growing customer base throughout the world. As we enter 2013, we believe that we have a significant funnel of worldwide opportunities and that growth in broadband traffic, applications and devices will drive the need for our products." As of December 31, cash, cash equivalents, short term deposits and marketable securities totaled $143.1 million, with no debt.

Read More » Most viewed questions
What are the membership and transaction fee for?
Membership and transaction fees are used to cover the inherent costs of training, support and technological services to all the organizers from around the world, to enable them to organize their own event, graciously offered by Diner en Blanc International. These services allow us to preserve the values conveyed by the concept, to sustain the corporate standards by regrouping them within a single network and, to develop these technical tools. The membership offers members a number of online services that will be multiplied in the coming years. Diner en Blanc International is working in updating its platforms - release planned for 2016 - in order for all participants of a Dîner en Blanc event to become members. In addition, this annual fee will allow members to register for as many Dîner en Blanc events in the world as they wish.
Is it an illegal activity?
Le Dîner en Blanc - Paris is held on the most prestigious sites of the city, without authorization. The first editions were not easy to put in place. Today, the French authorities know the organization and know that it's always well controlled. Moreover, the event's photogenic quality adds to the city's image of a modern and stylish city, open to the world. To ensure the safety of our International DEB guests, we require that the local hosts have the proper authorization, permits and insurances before proceeding with their event.
How many Dîner en Blanc events are there in the world?
There are close to 60 events scheduled, or in the process of being approved for 2015! Most take place in North America and Europe with a total of one hundred thousand members participating each year. The largest and most internationally recognized Dîner en Blanc, is the original event in Paris. Instigated over 27 years ago by François Pasquier and his close friends, it attracts today almost 15,000 people yearly. The second largest event is based in Montreal, Canada with 5,500 guests.
I have seen that many of your events worldwide are associated with certain brands, is there a possibility for sponsorship opportunities?
Dîner en Blanc International prides itself on being associated with some of the most exciting and elegant brands worldwide, however this event is first and foremost a dinner amongst friends and is not intended to be an event overly saturated with brand and marketing opportunities.
How can we participate?
One must know a member of the organisation to receive an invitation. In other words, it's a friendly co-optation system.
What are the key rules of the event?
Le Dîner en Blanc is quite different from other evenings. Seats are allotted on site in a very specific manner. - Once confirmed, the presence of each guest thus becomes essential and mandatory, whatever happens and regardless of weather conditions; - Colour: white only; - Bring a picnic basket, white table cloth, table (between 28"x28" and 32"x32") and foldable chairs (white); - Arrive and depart by bus or organised public transit; - Bring one's refuse when departing and leave the place as clean as it was upon arrival.
Why are the tables and chairs not being rented this year?
It's almost impossible to find 1500 identical tables and it can be very difficult having to deal with several suppliers. In Paris, guests have always brought their own table and chairs and it's much simpler that way. They thus play a bigger role and, in a way, they too become organisers of the festivity. As well, we would like to keep the same friends over several years and their table will in this way become cost-effective.
With a waiting list of several thousand people, why not open up more registrations this year?
Le Dîner en Blanc is not trying to beat participation records. We wish to maintain the spirit and quality of the event. For this reason, we have no choice but to favour quality over quantity and to expand without taking shortcuts.
San Francisco

I'm really impressed with the background
That's a very neat outfit. Any chance i can get a full viewing of it?
Pretty Nice.
Like the outfit much better than the in-game version!
This is really cool!
What's with the weird plat design? The colors are nice, though.
Little Lightningish ;D
When I first saw this pic, she looked like Lightning from the first game
Wooow! So great!!!
oh wow i love the redesign. i love your artwork, they are all really nice. if the background were a different color it'd show up more, like more purpley or blue :3
yay serah i love her
Really astonishing perspective on the picture plus the outfit looks really good too
I thought this was Lightning and then I take a closer look and I see the title .____________.
i like the mix between her two outfits (13 &13-2)
Freaking awesome! I love the whole concept, and the dress(own designed, right?)!!
Awesome work! Love the pose.
This just looks amazing (: I'm not much of a fan for pink or Serah (I am Lightning fan XD) but this amazing piece just caught my eye. Serah's dynamic pose, the artful wind twisting around, and the vast city behind...all very beautiful (: Nice job!!
I like this outfit better. Not sure why
Haha, is she gonna kick that skyscraper? xD
Impressive. You have done great work. ^^
Is the FF&KDH today to buy?
