Interview – Moises Norena – Whirlpool Corporation
I had the opportunity to interview Moises Norena, Director of Global Innovation, Whirlpool Corporation, about open innovation participation, strategies, and barriers to innovation success.
Here is the text from the interview:
1. Do you feel that companies need an innovation strategy? If so, where does open innovation fit in?
I don't think that having an innovation strategy is an option for companies, it is a requirement, especially in consumer segments. Innovation is the path to sustainability and growth. Innovation can be seen differently depending on which company you are looking at. There are companies like Apple that live innovation, that is what they do, Innovation is their strategy. Companies like Whirlpool, that have existed for 100 years, require an explicit innovation strategy, that translates into actions that people take, that force the change in behavior to stay relevant.
Open innovation (OI) is a way to exponentially expand your ability to generate ideas and develop them. I believe open innovation is a subset of the overall innovation strategy and tool kit. You can use OI in your discovery phase to generate ideas. You can also use OI to develop technologies or even to commercialize something you've created that others can use. Companies should think of open innovation as an element of their innovation strategy but not forget the internal organizational elements and management systems that are necessary to succeed in innovation.
2. Why is it important for organizations to consider participating in open innovation or why did your organization begin its open innovation effort?
It is important for organizations to consider participating in open innovation because having different perspectives creates new opportunities. Also because you leverage the resources of others, increasing your ability to deliver innovation. For example, Whirlpool has worked on refrigerators for many years. We create new organization, larger capacity, better cooling systems, etc. I am sure that food manufacturers see the refrigerator in ways we don't. When you put those two together, new things can emerge. The real challenge with OI is to establish the mechanisms that allow this interaction in a productive way in which there's a win-win situation AND that there are aligned goals both externally and internally.
3. What should an organization be aware of if they decide to pursue open innovation?
That this requires a shift in mentality. That is easier said than done. This involves the interaction of different people within your organization that will be threatened. You got to be able to show the win and show that there is management of the risks associated with OI. Organizations should also know that OI can provide real benefits but it should be managed in a way that complements with the internal efforts, not as a substitute.
4. What is the most important culture change for organizations to make in order to support innovation?
It depends on the organization. I see two important cultural shifts as necessary to make innovation work: The first is being able to manage both the short term and the long term within business units. This is challenging given the business priorities and to have a balanced portfolio really requires leaders to drive a change in their teams and organize in ways that allow this balance. The second thing I see, that is also very important, is the shift in mentality to do experimentation – this requires a big change because organizations have the tendency to expect the experiments to drive a business results and in fact, they should be designed to learn. That is a big change.
5. What are some of the biggest barriers to innovation that you've seen in organizations?
I think one of the biggest barriers is that there are conflicting business priorities in organizations. To overcome this barrier, innovation has to become an imperative and a priority AND be managed as part of the business operations. When that is done, this alleviates some of the issues that emerge from working in silos, which is in itself, another barrier that innovation commonly faces. In today's world innovation is taught in schools and companies have their own approaches to drive innovation. I believe that organizations should adapt one approach and drive it, bringing new approaches all the time slows down the machinery.
6. What skills do you believe that managers need to acquire to succeed in an innovation-led organization?
I think it is important for managers to learn the mind sets and behaviors to drive innovative thinking and growth. This includes understanding the value of the innovation process, experimentation as learning tool, portfolio management. As my colleague Deb Mills-Scofield says, learning to ask the dumb questions. I think that it is also important to learn how to assess and select talent, and create teams that are balanced in creative and analytical skills.
7. If you were to change one thing about our educational system to better prepare students to contribute in the innovation work force of tomorrow, what would it be?
I think the answer is already there, the Montessori system fosters curiosity and creativity. It would be hard to move the whole system to a model like that, but I think there are many elements that can be leveraged as the system evolves. Sitting in a desk for eight hours does not create innovators.

The adapter will attach to the bottom of the Wii remote to increase the sensitivity and accuracy of its motion sensors to an almost 1:1 scale � jet skiing and fencing are among the mini-games included in Sports Resort to show off the enhanced precision. Several other third-party games have also announced support for MotionPlus, including Ubisoft�s Red Steel 2, EA�s Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10 and Sega�s Virtua Tennis 2009.
Personally, I�ve found the Wii only mildly entertaining once the novelty factor wears off, mainly because its motion-sensing controls offer limited functionality in some games � Wii Tennis for example is nothing short of a joke compared to tennis games on rival consoles. Hopefully this adapter will come as a blessing for those games where accuracy have been off a step or two. Do you plan on getting one or feel the controls are just fine?

Fantastic art is one of our favourite things about San Francisco and the De Young Museum is great place to experience it. Not only is there an extensive and impressive collection of American, African and Oceanic art but it has a distinctive contemporary building and a wonderful location in Golden Gate Park which it has taken advantage of with this sculpture filled garden. Have a drink in the cafe and enjoy the views like we did on a sunny San Francisco day.

Arriving in China, most visitors turn automatically into iliterate fools the moment they step out of the airplane. In a text-based culture, visitors are surrounded by signs that are meant to be read. These signs are derived from images and for everyone who is not familiar with the code all textual messages actually are nothing but abstract pictures. The photographs in this book are a selection from thousands of pictures the author made while traveling through China, wondering about the transformation of image into text and back again. It's a book made by an iliterate author who is fascinated by the world of signs without having a clue of their meaning.
Jochen Friedrich is a restless traveler who turned his addiction into a profession. A self-taught artist, writer and photographer, he considers his books to be residual by-products of the encounters made on his travels.

Kuwait's tyre graveyard: so big it can be seen from space
June 7, 2013 1 Comment
This is a fire hazard waiting to happen. Again (check vid below). Other countries use old tyres in paving new roads, because it offers better stretch and break heat resistance. They should totally use them in Kuwait too, for two major reasons: we have millions of old worn out tyres and we are the hottest sunniest country in the world [link].

CLEVELAND — Senior center Gabrielle Bulic celebrated her 18th birthday with a cake, balloons and the biggest victory of her career.
Bulic collected 14 points, a game-high 13 rebounds and two blocked shots Wednesday, leading Brunswick's girls basketball team to a 39-30 upset of St. Joseph Academy.
The Jaguars (14-1) are ranked No. 6 in The Associated Press Division I state poll, three spots ahead of Medina County superpower Wadsworth.
"This was the most amazing game and win of my life," said Bulic, who played in her 83rd varsity contest. "It was the most amazing, the most intense, the most tiring — really the most everything game any of us have been a part of."
Senior small forward Brianna Moss also came up big in the triumph, scoring 14 of her career-high 18 points in the first half for the Blue Devils (10-5), who won their sixth straight game.
Brunswick, which led from wire to wire, shut out St. Joseph in the second quarter to build a 22-4 advantage at intermission.
The Blue Devils' largest lead came with 3:15 left in the third when junior power forward Monica Wasson buried a baseline jumper to make it 32-5.
"We knew St. Joseph was really good, but we wanted to show them that we came here tonight to win," said Moss, who made 3-of-6 3-pointers. "We worked the ball around and we were patient, which is what made our offense work so well."
Brunswick's defense was even better, holding the Jaguars to 2-of-30 shooting (6.7 percent) over the first 16 minutes.
Shooting guard Katie Battaglia had 10 points, five rebounds and four assists for St. Joseph, but was 4-of-20 from the field.
The Blue Devils finished with 11 blocked shots, including a career-best six from sophomore point guard Paige Salisbury, who added three points, seven boards and three assists. She also held Jaguars point guard Daija Jones to a 0-of-9, zero-assist outing.
"Paige has shown that she can shut the other team's best player down, and she was great on Jones tonight," Brunswick coach Halle Lengal said.
St. Joseph rattled off an 18-0 run spanning the final 3:14 of the third and the first 6:21 of the fourth, then got as close as six points in the final minute.
But Bulic, Moss and senior point guard Courtney Laudato closed out the win by each making 2-of-2 free throws.
"This was, by far, our best regular-season win," a beaming Lengal said. "It truly was a signature win for our program. To beat an undefeated, 14-0, state-ranked team in their gym means so much to all of us at Brunswick."

This paper examines the main causes ofthe 1998 flood on the Yangtze and addresses a numberof issues related to the exploitation of naturalresources and counter-measures to the flood hazard.The records show that both the amount of precipitationover the catchment and the floodwater discharge fromthe upper basin did not exceed the historical maximum,but water levels in the middle basin were recordedmuch higher than the historical maximum. Humanactivities have greatly increased the risk of theflood hazard. Extensive reclamation of the lakes andfluvial islands in the middle basin has considerablyreduced the floodwater storage and drainage capacityof these natural landscapes of the Yangtze Basin.Deforestation in the catchment area has induced soilerosion, resulting in a large amount of sedimentdeposited in reservoirs whose storage capacity is thusreduced. Strengthening the flood defence to protectpeople living on the floodplain has raised the waterlevel during the flood. An integrated approach isneeded to produce a balanced management plan that canmeet the financial needs of local people in thecatchment area as well as reduce flood risk to theindustries and urban residents in the middle basin ofthe Yangtze.

PVCC at Black Mountain
PVCC at Black Mountain is situated on 10 developed acres of an 82-acre parcel of land owned by the Maricopa County Community College District at 56th-60th Streets and the Carefree Highway, the first phase of the campus for Paradise Valley Community College at Black Mountain has been developed through a public/private/non-profit partnership between PVCC, the Valley of the Sun YMCA, and the Foothills Community Foundation. The partnership enables PVCC to establish a presence in the growing community of North Phoenix, Carefree, Cave Creek and North Scottsdale well ahead of the Bond allocation schedule and provides an opportunity to participate in the multi-generational synergy expected from the activities of the three entities. This first phase campus includes classrooms, computer labs, student and faculty support areas, and administrative offices.
The college opened its initial 10,000-square-foot facility with six classrooms in the fall of 2009 in partnership with the Foothills Community Foundation and the Desert Family Foothills YMCA. The shared educational, community and fitness complex is known as The Black Mountain Campus. The college expansion project may fund approximately one or two new buildings on the site to expand classrooms and college class offerings for residents in the northeast Valley. Funding for the initial phase of development and the next $7 million phase comes from the voter-approved 2004 General Obligations Bond issue for the Maricopa Community College District. On March 29, 2011, PVCC held a public forum for members of the community to provide their input on this next phase.

The NFL free agency scramble begins March 11. And despite a bump in the salary cap number, the New Orleans Saints aren't expected to be big bidders this year.
As Larry Holder mentions in the initial offering of our look at free agents at each position group, the Saints have some work to do in holding on to their own players.
Part of that job will be to fill the impending vacancy in the backup quarterback position. Luke McCown is slated to become an unrestricted free agent. And despite mutual interest from both sides about a return engagement, an agreement has not been reached.
So, the question goes to you. What should the Saints do to back up Drew Brees in the 2014 season? Should McCown be re-signed? Should Ryan Griffin be given a chance? Or should another established veteran be brought in to handle that spot.
Let us know what you're thinking in the comments below.

He can get rid of that pump. I would take care of that, and probably be better than the pump. Hey guys, if any of you are hung like these dudes, let me know. I'm looking for a suck buddy that I can deep throat. Only met one dude that was a beautiful 11".....MMMMM!

I really like him, too. He's got something unconventional about his attractiveness. But he works it.
Marc-de-la-ToucheJuly 31, 2008 - 13:09:41 | See all My Comments
I just like tall skinny masculine guys- like the first picture shows when he walks into a room, -it's like he knows he's got a nice big dick-and Boom, he shows it! It 'd be nice if life was like that some time- a guy you don't know walks in the door and shows he's nice long erect cock confidently, puts it back in and sits down. I'd rip every single thread off him and suck it dry! Charlie-what a little stud.
pretty floydJuly 31, 2008 - 12:11:24 | See all My Comments
I do love Charlie Love Jack, He does have a sex appeal about him, love those long legs, a very nice dick and body, and picture #8, just knock it out of the park, and more icing on the cake, my personal perspective.
JiminOrlandoJuly 31, 2008 - 11:40:49 | See all My Comments
There's something really sexy to me about Charlie: maybe that crew cut hair, the gorgeous cock, or his free spirited attitude. I'm not much for "toy" photo shoots, but he really caught my attention.

The Party
To kick off summer correctly, we slicked on some SPF, slipped on our favorite shades and headed to the newly redesigned Salt for Modern Luxury Dallas' annual Poolside Beauty shindig.
The Scene
Exhale, Equinox, The Hair Bar, Lure Salon, CosMedica Specialty Laser Spa, Naila Malik MD, Salon Pompeo, Dr. Matthew Trovato, Vim + Vigor and others set up shop for everything from juice tastings to hair braiding, while Page Parkes models strutted poolside in local swimwear label Mahogany Blues, turning Salt into a health and beauty wonderland. Meanwhile, DJ Jose G spun tunes as Cointreau mixed the perfect summer cocktails with fresh lime juice and club soda, berries, or cucumber with mint. The evening's biggest hit? The Satellite Cointreau Rickey bar, where guests could create and muddle their own drinks. Refreshing!
The Highlights
Enjoying all the fun in the sun, plus light bites by T.K. Culinary, was a pool of the poshly attired: Ivan Bank, Terri Beckham, Whitney Bracey, Chris Houlihan, Terry Kranz, Edo Popken, Kate Tollefsrud and many more. We'd call that a successful pool day. –Photography by Kelly Alexander

This Evening and Tonight:
Rain clearing to the east through this evening and winds easing, leaving a dry night for much of the UK. Showers continuing across Northern Ireland and western Scotland overnight and perhaps the odd shower across northern England too.

Remaining changeable and often unsettled at first, with bands of rain pushing across the country, interspersed with sunshine and showers. The wettest weather is most likely in the north and west where it may be occasionally windy too, whilst the south and east will see the best of any drier and brighter spells along with generally lighter winds. Through the period, a generally more settled spell of weather may develop across the south, giving more in the way of drier, brighter periods here. Temperatures are expected to be on the cooler side of normal though it'll feel warm in any drier, sunnier periods especially in the south and east. Perhaps returning to normal or locally warm and humid in the south later.
Updated at: 1234 on Wed 29 Jun 2016
UK Outlook for Thursday 14 Jul 2016 to Thursday 28 Jul 2016:
The changeable weather is likely to persist at first in the north, with rain or sunshine and showers and temperatures near average, however the more settled conditions initially in the south may then spread north. This should bring longer dry periods to much of the country, along with warmer temperatures and lighter winds. There is also a chance of more humid continental air moving up across the south and southeast at times, bringing very warm temperatures and perhaps a risk of some thundery showers.

Tuesday morning, July 8, the Season 11 "American Idol" winner, Phillip Phillips appeared on "The View." He performed his latest single, "Raging Fire," off of his sophomore album, "Behind the Light."
After the performance, "The View" co-hosts joined Phillips on stage to check in. Jenny McCarthy asked him how he became so successful after his season of "American Idol" when so many others have had a tough time. Always humble, Phillips said he had no idea and that he just got lucky. Sherri Shepherd commented that she had even voted for him during his time on "Idol," mentioning how horrible it was he had so many kidney problems while on the show.
Phillips also talked about his new album, "Behind the Light." He said this album is 20 times better than his first one. This is more musical and has better drum beats. When asked, Phillips admitted he either wrote or co-wrote every track on the album.
Currently, Phillip Phillips is in a co-headlining tour with O.A.R. He says they are having fun, and O.A.R. is killing it every night. Wrapping up his appearance, Jenny McCarthy announced the entire audience was going home with a copy of "Behind the Light."
Recently, Phillip also swung by the "Today Show" to perform as part of their summer concert series at the end of June. He sang "Raging Fire," along with his previous single, "Gone, Gone, Gone." He also performed a new single off his "Behind the Light" album, "Lead On."
Phillips stopped inside the studio and told Tamron Hall and Al Roker about how he still gets nervous before performances. He also talked about recording the entire album in New York and adjusting to the cold. He prefers performing live as opposed to performing in the studio. Roker asked about Phillips' time since "American Idol," and he said he had been having awesome time getting to do awesome things and meet people like Lionel Richie, who he recently was introduced to.
Fans can also bid on auctions in order to win a chance to meet Phillip Phillips and his tour mates, O.A.R., as announced on his Facebook page today:
Want to meet O.A.R. and I? We're doing another round of auctions benefiting Habitat for Humanity! Bid now & choose your show below. #OARPP

RewriteRule ^Topic/([^/\.]+)/([^/\.]+)/([^/\.]+)/?$ /Topic.php?l=$1&e=$2&t=$3 [L]
However, all the page's content (.CSS files, images, etc.) ends up 404'ing because instead of, say, loading "/Common.css" from the directory relative to the rewritten URL:
it loads it from the un-rewritten URL's directory:
which obviously does not exist. However, I've found countless tutorials all over the web that advocate some variant on what I'm doing (one example here), but make no mention of this problem I'm having, so I'm wondering if there's just some configuration I'm overlooking. They can't all rely on having these 'virtual' directories exist and contain the page's content. I also really don't want to make everything into absolute paths.
I have tried adding rules earlier in the .htaccess file to try to short-circuit content requests, such as:
RewriteRule \.(css|jpe?g|gif|png)$ - [L]
but it seems to have no effect. Regardless, I wouldn't have thought such content would even match the original rule, as the regex in that rule does not allow for anything following the (optional) trailing slash.
If I change the rule such that its flag is set to redirect ([R,L] instead of just [L]), then it all works fine -- except now the browser displays the rewritten php parameter string, which is what we were trying to avoid. In the past, we've just accepted this as a work-around, but now I'm trying to understand why it's working this way, and what I can do about it.
In case it's relevant, I'm using CentOS 6.2, and Apache/2.2.15.

It won't come as much of a surprise that after that last dish, I was interested in doing something a little simpler. While the tomato dish was unarguably fun to try, there's something relaxing to me about making and eating a dish like this one, which highlights flavors atomically and is eaten in one bite. […]

When you combine spring break and Las Vegas, things are bound to get exciting — or out of control.
For the MTV Spring Break 2011 performers — Snoop Dogg, Wiz Khalifa, Pitbull and Lupe Fiasco — the challenge is to keep the crowds entertained when shots, lost tops and sunny weather threaten to steal their attention.
According to Lupe Fiasco, though, it doesn't matter to him whether he's performing at a spring break gig or a room of Timberland-wearing concertgoers — the show goes on.
"It's no different," the Chicago rapper told MTV News recently. "I did a show for the hardcore [fans] yesterday and it was the same thing. The same energy. At the end of the day, it's about getting in touch with the energy — I don't want to sound too mystical — but that human energy. It don't matter if you black, white, Italian, Asian or in a bikini or have a fitted hat on thugged out, everybody wants to hear something and be moved by something, so for us, we want to take it to you as energetic as we possibly can."
On Monday, Wiz Khalifa's MTV Spring Break 2011 performance aired as the Pittsburgh star hit the stage for his breakout tune "Black and Yellow."
Later in the week, Snoop Dogg and Pitbull's spring break performances will be shown on MTV, MTV2 and mtvU.
Catch Lupe Fiasco performing in Las Vegas during MTV's Spring Break on Tuesday night (March 29) on MTV at 9:50 p.m. ET.

Jim Ross did a recent interview with WWE Hall of Fame superstar Jim Ross and they talked about a number of items including the UFC. In the interview with Submission Radio on Sunday, Jim Ross was asked if he thought the WWE and UFC were competition with each other. Ross actually supported the idea, saying that the two companies are both vying for a similar audience.
This is a completely opposite opinion than the WWE has often stated. Both Triple H and Vince McMahon have stated on occasion that they don't see the UFC as competition, just as they don't consider TNA Impact Wrestling as competition. The idea is that the WWE is not a legitimate fight company and that they also are not a professional wrestling organization. The WWE has always stated their competition is more of entertainment forms like the movie industry.
Ross agrees that the WWE and UFC are two completely different genres of entertainment. However, he said that both the UFC, with their pay-per-view models, and the WWE, with their WWE Network and limited pay-per-views, are competing for fan's disposable income. Ross said that people have to decide what they will spend their money on, and if they want to watch the UFC, they might not be able to spend the money on the WWE.
Jim Ross said that, for a lot of younger fans, it may not be as much competition between the UFC and WWE, but for old school professional wrestling fans, there is a displacement and a decision to move to the UFC. In that situation, whether the WWE wants to admit it or not, the competition between the UFC and WWE is strong.

Beancounters fret about Apple's memory supply
IHS thinks that Samsung has the edge
THE CLICKING SOUND OF THE ABACUS has delivered the news that analysts IHS are concerned about Apple's prospects without Samsung as a memory supplier.
"Apple Faces Thorny Memory Future as a Non-Samsung Customer" is the headline, and underneath we learn that the analysts are worried about the fruit themed firm's future as a competitor to a company that eats its own dogfood.
IHS said that not working with Samsung will be a challenge for Apple, and added that there are few chip provider alternatives.
"While the argument can be made that Apple sees some benefits by not sharing critical prototype design information with Samsung, the fact remains that Apple limits its options by not doing business with Samsung, which places Apple at a disadvantage," said IHS DRAM and memory senior principal analyst Mike Howard.
"The difficulties presented by this challenge become even more acute considering that the memory industry continues to consolidate, especially in DRAM. The recent closing of Micron's acquisition of bankrupt Elpida means there are now just three major DRAM developers and four NAND developers left. As Apple's memory suppliers get bigger because of consolidation, they are likely to gain more bargaining leverage. This is a trend all memory buyers will face, and Apple - even with its heft - is not exempt."
Apple has three options, according to the report, and they are own development, partnership or acquisition. IHS said that Samsung is unlikely to be a target for Apple should it take the third option.
Toshiba and Sandisk are deemed likely targets, along with the South Korean memory firm SK Hynix. µ

The Battles of the Somme: Battle of Albert 1-13 July 1916
In the early morning of 2 July 1916, the British 30th Division, holding the newly won Montauban Ridge repulsed two determined German counter-attacks. Both British and German commands recognised it was here, in the cramped southern sector of the battlefield (where most of the meagre British successes of 1 July had been achieved), that offered the most likely opportunities for further exploitation. But in the immediate aftermath of 1 July Rawlinson sanctioned repeated assaults against unbroken German defences over the battle-strewn uplands of the entire line of his original attack.
The period 2-13 July was characterised by a series of grindingly slow and costly British subsidiary attacks (principally in the southern end of the line), made to secure the flanks for a later major assault on the German second line positions. In a succession of bloody encounters the Fourth Army sought to secure Trônes Wood, Mametz Wood and Contalmaison; operations characterised by vicious hand to hand fighting, within devastated villages and shell-thrashed woods riddled with concealed strongpoints. Heavy rain on 3 and 4 July produced the first quantities of the infamous Somme mud and hinted at the difficulties which terrain and weather would pose later in the campaign. Chronology: 2 July Fricourt was occupied by British troops; 3 July saw the failure of the British attacks at Ovillers and Thiepval. La Boisselle was captured after much fierce counter-attacking between 4-6 July. Offensive operations began on 7 July to capture Mametz Wood, Contalmaison and Ovillers. 8 July saw the first attacks on Trônes Wood. The period 9-13 July witnessed bitter fighting for Trônes Wood and the eventual capture of Mametz Wood and Contalmaison.

The New England Patriots have added depth at the linebacker position on Wednesday. According to Mike Reiss of ESPN, the Patriots have signed veteran James Anderson, who was a tackling machine last season with the Chicago Bears. Anderson will help the Patriots defense because of his ability to play coverage, an area the team struggled with due to injury and inexperience.
It is a move that may turn out to be one of the team's more important moves as the team became thin at linebacker due to the departures of Brandon Spikes and Dane Fletcher. At 6-2 and 235 pounds, the 30-year-old veteran will also add physicality to a defense that has added cornerbacks Darrelle Revis and Brandon Browner and has Vince Wilfork, Tommy Kelly and Jerod Mayo returning from injury. His ability to play coverage will add to an already much improved passing defense.
Anderson is the type of defensive player head coach Bill Belichick relishes. He is a dependable tackler who will play whatever role the coach wants him to play. With the signing the Patriots are blending young talent with veterans who have proven leadership.
Last season with the Bears, Anderson led the team with 102 tackles and four sacks. The Patriots will be the third team the versatile linebacker has played for in his career. He will most likely be used in more of a reserve role behind Mayo, Dont'a Hightower and second-year linebacker Jamie Collins.
The veteran linebacker is also a durable player. He started all 16 games for the Bears last season. He played for the Panthers from 2006 to 2012. To make room for Anderson, the Patriots released 2013 undrafted free agent receiver Mark Harrison. The young receiver missed all of last season with a foot injury.

The club features RC's patented Driving Cavity technology, which positions a horseshoe shaped cavity on the club's soleplate to facilitate extremely efficient clubhead to turf interaction at impact for ease of use from the fairway and the rough. The Driving Cavity also enhances the club's sweetspot, which makes it more forgiving on off-center hits.

Relating to their Characters: Comedy Showrunners Roundtable
Carter Bays of How I Met Your Mother and Steve Levitan reveal how they relate to a couple of their main characters.
Steve added, "At first I thought, "OK, I am Phil Dunphy, we did a couple of episodes in the beginning that were very specific to me, and then as time has gone on, I have realized that I am really Claire. I am the uptight neurotic woman overthinking everything, and my wife lives in the moment and is happy and doing fun, goofy things with the kids. I am the one saying, We have to get her ready for bed. It's not a realization that I am particularly happy with."

But that wasn't it. And when pressed, he drew another blank.
"Seriously?" asked moderator John Harwood, one of the CNBC debate hosts. "You can't name the third one?"
"The third agency of government I would do away with — the Education, the Commerce. And let's see. I can't. The third one, I can't," Perry said. "Oops."
Later in the debate, Perry revisited the question and said he meant to call for the elimination of the Energy Department.
On Thursday, Perry said he just couldn't think of it.
"There were so many federal agencies that come to mind, that I want to get rid of, that the Energy Department would not come out," he said in an interview taped for ABC's "Good Morning America."
He's trying to turn it to his advantage. On NBC's "Today" show, Perry sought to make the best of the gaffe, saying that forgetting the name of one of the agencies illustrated the "core point" of his campaign — that there are too many agencies. He's already blasted an email to supporters asking them, "What part of the Federal Government would you like to forget about the most?" His website now asks them to vote for one.
The immediate fallout has been brutal.
"We all felt very bad for him," Michele Bachmann, the Minnesota congresswoman also running for the nomination, said after the debate.
"Rick Perry just lost the debate. And the entire election. You only had to name three," Tim Albrecht, the top spokesman for Iowa Gov. Terry Branstad, who is unaligned in the GOP race, tweeted from his personal account.
"Perry response will be on highlight reels for years to come," tweeted businessman Jack Welch.
His campaign obviously recognized just how bad it was. In dramatic fashion, Perry bee-lined it to the "spin room," the place where reporters gather to interview campaign surrogates, and immediately indicated that he knew he had made a really bad mistake. The first words out of his mouth as reporters crowded around were: "I'm glad I had my boots on because I really stepped in it tonight."
The next few days will shed light on whether voters care about the misstep — and punish him for it.
Over the past two weeks, Perry has sought to prove he's still a credible challenger to Romney by rolling out detailed policy proposals. But he's found himself dogged by suggestions that he had been drinking or taking drugs when he gave an animated speech in New Hampshire. It went viral online, prompting Perry to state that he was not, in fact, under the influence of a substance.
NBC's "Saturday Night Live" did a widely viewed Perry parody last weekend.
In recent days, the candidate started to take his message directly to voters by running sunny, biographical television ads in early primary states like Iowa and New Hampshire. It's an effort to reintroduce himself to Republican primary voters in a safer setting that circumvents the news media.
Wednesday's was the latest tough debate for the GOP candidate who has struggled in the national spotlight since entering the race in August, the last time he was at the top of polls. His standing has fallen throughout the fall, and he's fighting to gain ground less than two months before the leadoff Iowa caucuses.
He has committed to four more debates in a year when the GOP electorate is clearly tuned into them, but his advisers are considering skipping future ones.
Presidential debates have offered pivotal moments for decades, from Al Gore's audible sighs in 2000 to Michael Dukakis' tepid answer about the death penalty in 1988.
A statement by Gerald Ford in a 1976 presidential debate is among the most memorable, however. Ford famously baffled audiences when he said, "There is no Soviet domination of Eastern Europe" and refused to back down when pressed by the moderator. The moment haunted the rest of his losing campaign.
Perry canceled private fundraisers in Tennessee and instead headed to New York for another round of interviews, including the appearance with Letterman. His next public campaign stops were scheduled in South Carolina on Friday — the day before yet another debate.

Applying for financial aid can be a challenge and many parents delay the process as long as they can. Some think they need to wait until their taxes have been filed, when in fact an estimate based on your previous year's taxes is completely acceptable. Sometimes parents feel embarrassed to apply for financial aid, even in this uncertain economy. Too many parents do not apply for financial aid because they do not believe they will qualify. Never make this assumption. The easiest way to lose out on available financial aid is to not apply for it.
FAFSA stands for Free Application for Federal Student Aid and is the main form used to determine eligibility for federal aid, including Pell Grants and student loans. The majority of parents fill out the FAFSA application online. It is the first step to getting financial assistance for college. Some private colleges also want their families to fill out the CSS form.. Many student financial aid programs are on a first come, first served basis.
The FAFSA is the critical connection between you and your student's future financial aid package. FAFSA deadlines include federal, state, and college deadlines. Any outside scholarships you apply for may also have a FAFSA requirement and deadline. FAFSA deadlines vary from state to state and from school to school. Some deadlines are as early as mid-January, while others are later.
Parents need to avoid making mistakes on the FAFSA form because this will only delay the application from being processed. Some common mistakes that parents make include the following:
1. Not listing all of the colleges to which your student is applying
2. Writing in incorrect tax amounts
3. Not updating your information once your taxes are filed
4. Leaving a question blank
5. Not signing the FAFSA form
Most colleges and universities start sending out admission acceptance letters between January and April. Financial-aid award notices come close behind. Expect a financial-aid award letter to arrive within two to three weeks after an acceptance letter. If you have not heard from a school, it is appropriate to contact the financial aid office and inquire about your financial aid package and when you can plan on receiving it.
Who gets financial aid for college? Those who take the time to apply for it.

For Vikings, pass rush the key at Green Bay
Green Bay --- Leslie Frazier sees two reasons for the longevity of the "Tampa 2" scheme. For one, the Minnesota Vikings coach says, it's simple. Players can fit into the scheme and be effective immediately. And two, the coverage works when there's a steady pass rush up front.
The details can be different team to team, but the basic Cover-2 principles have given Green Bay some trouble. For the Vikings, this will be the key on Sunday at Lambeau Field.
"If you can rush the passer, you have a chance to make it work," Frazier said. "If you don't, it can be exploited."
Both Detroit and New York maintained pressure and flustered the Packers' passing game. Other than Green Bay's late game-winning drive at Detroit and 61-yard touchdown to Jordy Nelson in New York, Green Bay has only 326 yards through the air in those two games with Aaron Rodgers being sacked eight times. Detroit generated pressure with its interior linemen, New York with its defensive ends. The big play was eliminated.
The Vikings will be counting on their four-time Pro Bowler, Jared Allen, to keep the heat up so the players behind him can cover. After Allen's 22-sack outburst in 2011, he has seven through 11 games.
Frazier says he's still the same, dangerous player.
"People are still blocking him the same way, putting a tight end over there and chipping in with backs," Frazier said. "They're still doing a lot of the same things. We need to get some leads so we can pin our ears back a little bit. But, yeah, he is still the same player. He is still as talented as he ever was. He still plays as hard as he ever did. His play has not dropped off."
Frazier added that he would not be surprised if the Packers copied what the Chicago Bears did a week ago. With some dire offensive line problems of their own, the Bears kept extra blockers in house to contain Allen and relied on a short passing game. Jay Cutler's longest completion was only 20 yards and the Bears averaged only 8.2 yards per reception.
But instead of running for his life and taking cover, Cutler was sacked only once.
The Bears cruised, 28-10.
"They did some things to offset our rush," Frazier said. "And then the fact that we couldn't get a lead, all those things factor in when you want to rush the passer. So good job by them. They had a good game plan."
Without question, Mike McCarthy and the Packers are spending plenty of time this week game-planning for another two-safety look. The coach himself expressed regret with how he called the Giants game. Much like the first half in Seattle, the Packers were unable to stop the bleeding. Protecting the quarterback this week will likely be McCarthy's top priority.
"Part of what helped the Giants is they got off to an early lead and then you force teams to throw when they don't want to throw," Frazier said. "That's the kind of game you want if you have a pass rush. I'm sure they're working as hard as they can to not fall into a situation like they were in a week ago. So we have to do a very good job of trying to counter some of the things that we expect them to do."

So with Boeing not selling the 787s for a bit, no overtime for me, so i finally went to look at some guns.
Everyone loves the Ruger LCR's so the wife and i finally went to look. Its way to small for my hand, but she loved it, she picked up the .38. The had a Ruger SP100 there, that was perfect for my hand, a 4 inch barrel, so i picked that one up.
Enjoy your new guns and be safe.
Lucky you.. I have to work overtime in order to afford to buy a new gun, you don't get to work overtime, so you go out and buy two... Life just isn't fair sometimes!!
Enjoy your new guns, my wife is considering the LCR. I am split on that for her, I am worried about her tolerance of recoil, yet it fits her hands so nicely, and she really liked the trigger.
"Gun Free Zones" is where only criminals carry guns.
+1 for the Rugers !
Find a range where you can rent an LCR with Hogue Tamer Grips and let your wife shoot it.
When you get ready to buy look for one with the XS sights.
Ruger LCR XS 01.jpg
To be sure of hitting the target, shoot first and call whatever you hit the target.
Obviously Boeing pays well.

That is nice that they had guns in stock. When I went to my local gun shop they said that they have been running at 10% their regular inventory.
Ruger LCR is an excellent firearm. It was my wife's first, and I'm going to end up taking it for a BUG I think! Recoil is very manageable so don't worry about that (at least with .38s) Trigger is very nice on the LCR as well. Congrats on your pickups. They'll last you a long time and you'll be happy with them.
SP101 or GP100? Pics please!

More fox news fear mongering
Violence Prompts Strong Warning At Ariz. Monument
U.S. Land in Arizona Given to Illegals, U.S. Citizens Told Stay Out - 6.15.2010 Sheriff Pinal County
This is not several years old
From my post above: " Bream [The FOX commentator] welcomed Pinal County Sheriff Paul Babeu who furthered the suggestion that the refuge had been recently closed. Babeu said, "It's literally out of control and violence has increased just in the last four months."
Bream didn't mention that the refuge is not in Babeu's jurisdiction.
Bream falsely added, "We're talking about something that's north of Tucson, I mean, 80 miles away from the border." Perhaps she was referring to Pinal County but the refuge is not only along the border, that's where the closure is. A media advisory from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service states,"
Problems can't be solved when their magnitude isn't correctly understood, or when their magnitude is exaggerated. This isn't the first time, and I'm sure it won't be the last when this particular sheriff has gone on tv to talk about things in parts of AZ which are quite far removed from his jurisdiction.
Again, DC member Gilraens tag line says it all, ""Those who believe things without evidence will believe anything."
I've scoured Google news and can find no news reports about this alleged closure that didn't originate from that one Fox report.
Maybe we should be asking US Fish and Wildlife what the story is.
Again, I'm not saying things are rosy. I'm not saying there isn't a problem. I'm just saying the claim of the US ceding territory to Mexico is ridiculous.
Fear mongering. That one has gotten a lot of play lately, almost as good as "Astroturf".
Propaganda 101 - when met with resistance, cry out "fear monger!".
Don't listen to them or be frightened little girl, we'll protect you from harm, keep you warm, and you won't be scared in this lovely concentratrion camp.
Hopyard......I understood the "claim" of US ceding territory to Mexico meaning that we just put up signs saying "hey you need to stay out due to the outlaws in this area that we aren't doing anything about"
of course we haven't officially given any territory back, just in theory since we're not doing anything about it
that is a fact and the area is large
FOX news made a fictitious story out of this. I have no doubt that the signs are real and the problem is real. We certainly need to get this problem under control. However, FOX made completely false statements including... "Obama gave parts of Arizona to Mexico" is a ridiculous inflammatory statement that is designed to enrage and incite anger in people.
This type of story is pure hype designed by FOX to get viewers to watch their shows. The angry right wing sit salivating like Pavlov's dog for the next tasty pack of lies and FOX knows it. (BTW...Nazis will be marching down your street soon according to Glenn Beck so be sure to tune in.)
I'm shocked how gullible people are. (This includes the left wing.) The far right takes anything FOX says and then, without any question, swallow it hook line and sinker. They run with it and spread the message as if it were gospel. Hate mongering at its best. I don't believe this is a good thing for our country.
I don't know about the rest of you but when someone tells me outright lies I will lose my trust in them. I'll take what they say in the future with much more scrutiny. Again, that goes for both Left and Right news sources However, I find FOX to be the most egregious offender.
Actually when a governor of a state and a county sheriff BEG you for troops to combat an invasion and you sit back and do nothing you technically ceded that territory to criminals, in this case illegal Mexican cartels. How many more citizens and cops need to get shot?
So technically Obama, and Bush before him by ignoring repeated calls for help, ceded that territory.
Please, read more of Fox News lies
Don't get me wrong, I think we should employ the military to deal with these people but we need to use them to do it because all other parties involved seem to be ill equipped to deal with, NOT because it's a invasion.
What I'm saying is FOX reported a story that had many false statements that was manufactured to create headlines. They lied. Once again they fire up the viewers to gain ratings. They made the story much more inflammatory.
#1. Biggest lie... Obama is "giving a major strip of the U.S back to Mexico"
#2. Closing the park all along the U.S. border
#3. "Closed the park 3 counties deep. Well into Arizona." "Closed North of Tucson 80 miles deep."
None of these statements are true and did nothing more than cause chaos. Look what happened here. It worked just as they planned.

The Romanian American Chamber of Commerce (RACC) scheduled its second annual "GO USA! Roadshow" business conference in three Romanian cities - Bucharest, Cluj, and Timisoara on November 5-9, 2012. The Bucharest seminar focused on the themes: "Is America Open for Business?" and "Overcoming Obstacles to U.S. Entrepreneurship". The seminar was designed for Romanian entrepreneurs seeking to establish a presence in the United States. The RACC asked CS Bucharest to use its contact database to promote the event in Bucharest since "Select USA" is an initiative under the US Department of Commerce, whose goal is to increase foreign direct investment. CS Bucharest supported the event which enjoyed a good turnout. In addition, CS Bucharest provided talking points related to the "Select USA" topic, since the seminar in Bucharest benefited by the presence of H.E. Mark Gitenstein, the US Ambassador.

If you're saving $1,000 a month in a tin can, that's an accumulation
vehicle. If your tin can pays some interest, that helps. And if
your tin can invests your money in stocks like a mutual fund, that
helps, too. The insurance industry is trying to disguise the variable
annuity as mutual funds when it's a mutual fund with an expensive
wrapper that's sucking away about 1.5 percent a year of your money.
People don't really get anything for that expense. I would agree
that an annuity can be a useful tool if it's paying out money, but
I don't see it as a good accumulating vehicle.
I would use an annuity as an immediate annuity. It's different from an accumulating annuity in that you put a sum of money in it and it instantly turns into a payment stream. The problem is most people are just buying annuities when they think they're buying investments.
Assess your situation
The first thing people should do is take stock of where they are financially. How much are they spending per month? It can be very hard to do your own accounting; we have a tendency to overstate income and understate expenses. Sometimes it's best to go to a third party and have them do it, if you can't be objective. If you retire and only have a fourth of the income coming in that you have now, you're not going to be happy.
Have someone measure your resources to tell you objectively how much money you can expect from your resources in retirement -- Social Security, pension, 401(k), IRA and any other assets you may use as funding sources for your retirement. Have the planner do various scenarios against different backdrops -- low interest-rate environment, high interest-rate environment, high inflation, low inflation, stock market crash, etc. Anybody can make you look richer by just raising your rate of return. But raising your rate of return may not be realistic because you may be taking far more risk than you can afford to take. A lot of people say they need to make more on their money to make up for lost time. Don't do that; you'll crash and burn.
Estate planning
Examine your will, trust, power of attorney, insurance coverage -- life insurance, health, long-term care, disability, property and casualty. You don't want to get in a car wreck and not have enough liability insurance; you could lose your retirement because not all states protect retirement money. You also want someone in power to handle your affairs if you can't. That's why you need a legal document like power of attorney, which has to speak to handling retirement plans, life insurance products, annuities, filing tax returns and health care decisions.

An unnamed hiker on Washington State's Mount Baker fell about 100 feet Saturday and suffered several injuries, including wounds to his chest. He was unable to get off the mountain on his own.
Whatcom County Sheriff's deputies located the hiker at the 4,500 foot-level on the mountain, but low visibility prevented any kind of rescue mission until the sun came up Sunday morning.
Even then, options within the local sheriff's department were limited and officials contacted Naval Air Station Whidbey Island, some 100 miles away, for an assist.
The Navy helicopter, with ground guidance from the sheriff's department, located the 24-year-old hiker and airlifted him to Seattle's Harborview Medical Center's trauma unit.
There was no information on the condition of the hiker and no indication of why the Navy was called for the rescue versus the Coast Guard or the Washington State Air National Guard located at Camp Murray near Tacoma.

Legal Filings
CREW Asks OCE to Investigate Rep. Grimm
Washington, D.C. – Today, Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) asked the Office of Congressional Ethics (OCE) to investigate whether Rep. Michael Grimm (R-NY) exchanged illegal campaign contributions for his promise to assist a prominent fundraiser in procuring a green card. CREW also filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request with the Department of Homeland Security seeking any communications between Rep. Grimm or his office regarding the issuance of green cards. Rep. Grimm was named one of the Most Corrupt Members of Congress in 2011 for unrelated actions. Click here to read CREW's letter to the OCE. Click here to read CREW's FOIA request.
"Campaign fundraising can sometimes be shady, but Rep. Grimm has sunk to a new low. A former FBI agent meeting in the shadow of the Manhattan FBI office to take an illegal campaign contribution in an unmarked envelope? Sounds like something out of a Grisham novel," said CREW Executive Director Melanie Sloan. "In addition to the illegal campaign contributions, it also appears Rep. Grimm may have promised to use the powers of Congress to assist a fundraiser in procuring a green card. In other words, Rep. Grimm may have engaged in bribery. These are serious allegations that demand an immediate investigation."
According to a report in The New York Times, Rep. Grimm forged a close relationship with Ofer Biton, an Israeli citizen with close ties to prominent New York Rabbi Yoshiyahu Yosef Pinto. According to the report, Mr. Biton raised funds for Rep. Grimm's campaign "in hopes that if Mr. Grimm won, he would help Mr. Biton obtain a green card." If true, this might constitute a bribe.
Mr. Biton was an extremely successful fundraiser, bringing in more than $500,000 for Rep. Grimm's campaign. Reportedly, both he and the now congressman actively persuaded potential donors to give the congressman large sums of cash, some in excess of the contribution limit and some in the name of others. Both of these actions violate federal law.
"As a former FBI agent Rep. Grimm used to investigate crimes. Now he may have committed some and has become the subject of investigation himself, said Ms. Sloan. "With members like this, no wonder Congress has only a 10% approval rating."

Used these to setup a large campsite for a BBQ Cookoff. These sure beat having to use a hammer to try and hammer anchors into the ground by holding them with your fingers!! NO MORE SMASHED FINGERS!
I am a little concerned about burring the edges of the bolts, as they do not seem easy to replace through the black hooks. I will cross that road someday with more use.
I wish these were sold in the U.S. as they are a very valuable addition to any canopy or tent!@Texas BBQ'er Great review thanks Blue diamond camping and caravan product are really well made , tough for outdoor use and great value for money.

Today there was another informative guest speaker at Saint Mary's. Will Oberton came to speak to students and the Winona community. He is the current CEO of Fastenal which started right here in Winona. He focused on why the company is successful, and he gave students some advice. Some of his tips included:
1. If you are flexible and open-minded, there are job openings
2. Choose a company first and a job second. It is better to have the worst job at a good company than the best job at a bad company.
3. Have a positive attitude.
4. Take the dirty job when the opportunity arises. Your employer will notice your efforts.
5. Most importantly, have Fun.
These are some of the important points that I took away from the speaker, and I will be sure to use them as I am searching for a job. One of the great things about being in college is have access to CEO's like this as they speak to the community. It's even better at a small school like Saint Mary's and being able to ask them questions.

How can I generate a stencil for a d/d(n*x) operator?
I am writing a program that needs a method to calculate line derivatives in an image. If we want to calculate the simplest forward derivative approximation with regards to d/dx, we can run the following operation:
diff[x] = -1.0 * image[x] + image[x+1]
If I want a more precise calculation of the derivative, I can increase the size of the stencil, and possibly recalculate as:
diff[x] = -3./2 * image[x] + 2*image[x+1] - 1./2 * image[x+2]
I have been using the finite difference method in obtaining these coefficients (specifically http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finite_difference_coefficients )
Now suppose I want to take the derivative in regards to d/d(3*x), I could simply stretch the original stencil like this:
diff[x] = -1.0 * image[x] + image[x+3]
However, here I am not using the information from image[x+1] and image[x+2] and so the derivative approximation can be greatly improved. How can I generate a stencil that WILL use this information and hence be more accurate?

Robin Thicke was spotted dancing close with a mystery woman in Paris at Club 79 where he had been performing. According to the Daily Mail on Jan. 20, the two were very chummy as pictures of the pair showed up in various reports.
However, upon closer inspection of the married Mister Thicke and his female companion of the moment, the stopped action due to the still photographs could very well have just indicated some serious dancing and nothing more.
Nevertheless, Robin Thicke and the mystery woman are a trending topic on Monday. And, while the "Blurred Lines" singer is well and truly wed to Paula Patton, this couple has been together since they were high school sweethearts. That's a long time in the short life of these celebrities who have each had a share of fame and glory.
This year was a big year for Robin Thicke, who appeared on almost every music award show that has aired since last fall when he so boldly appeared with a twerking Miley Cyrus on the MTV VMAs 2013.
And so, as Robin Thick and a mystery woman who is said to be a fan seem to blur lines in Paris at Club 79 where the singer performed, this scene could have easily been an innocent chance to get up and boogey the night away far from the fray of Hollywood. Blurred lines? Probably not.

College Hockey:Nanooks Even Governor's Cup Series
ANCHORAGE, Alaska — The Alaska-Fairbanks Nanooks shutout the Alaska-Anchorage Seawolves 4-0 on Saturday night at the George M. Sullivan Arena. The blanking of the Seawolves ties the teams at one game apiece in the annual Governor's Cup — the four game non-conference series for Alaska's college hockey crown.
Due in large part to the stellar play of UAF junior netminder Preston McKay, who stopped all 22 shots he faced, the Nanooks rebounded after falling Friday night 4-2 to the Seawolves. UAF coach Guy Gadowsky was proud of his teams pronounced Saturday victory saying "we played better and finished better tonight" and adding that his team was "a different hockey team tonight."
In an opening period that saw UAF outshoot the Seawolves 11-6, the teams left the ice with the Nanook's leading 1-0. The lone goal came from freshman Kelly Czuy at 15:47 when he tipped Scott Farrell's drive from the right circle past the UAA netminder Chris King, who slowed the puck but could not gather it in before it trickled across the line.
The Seawolves mounted fierce pressure in the first half of the second frame but they could not solve McKay, and UAF went up 2-0 at 11:16 on a goal from Felipe Larranaga. Larranaga slid an off-speed shot left to right sneaking it just inside the right post.
The Nanooks built momentum through the reaminder of the second period and struck again before the close when Czuy got his second of the night at 18:16. Taking a feed from Alex Staudt, Czuy skated in on center, brought the lone defender to one knee with a faked pass, stepped around and sniped a wrister cleanly past King's glove.
The teams went scoreless through the bulk of the third period with both teams finding offensive opportunity with physical play from underclassmen — UAA from freshman center Curtis Glencross, and UAF from their 6-foot-4-inch sophomore winger Aaron Voros.
After a UAA defenseman broke his stick trying to chip the puck out of the zone, freshman Russell Spence grabbed the puck and fed Jared Sylvestre who punctuated the Nanook win with the final goal of the game at 18:46.
Gadowsky was happy to even things up in the Governor's Cup saying "you always want to win on Saturday in the Governor's Cup" but he was equally pleased to find confidence for the Nanook's CCHA opener next Friday against Ohio State.
UAA heads into another weekend of non-conference play when they host the Nye Frontier Classic in Anchorage. The Seawolves play Iona on Friday night and then face sixth-ranked Maine on Saturday.
