Baldrige FAQs: The Baldrige Criteria; ISO 9001, 9004:2009
Is Baldrige the same as ISO?The purpose, content, and focus of the Baldrige Criteria for Performance Excellence and ISO 9001 and 9004:2009 registration and guidance are very different. The Baldrige Criteria provide an integrated, results-oriented framework for designing, implementing, and assessing all operations of an organization. In addition, the Baldrige Criteria include a strong customer, workforce, and future focus. ISO 9001 is a standard used in implementing a compliance and improvement system and assessing conformity in organization-selected operations. Its central purpose is to provide a common basis for an independent supplier qualification system. ISO 9004:2009 provides guidance to organizations to support the achievement of sustained success by a quality management approach. Overall, ISO covers a small fraction of the requirements in the Baldrige Criteria.
The 2015 revision of ISO 9001 is even more complementary to the Baldrige Criteria, with three focus areas:
Baldrige, Six Sigma, and ISO: Understanding Your Options and Performance Excellence: A Systems Approach and Tools (PowerPoint presentation) provide insight into these three performance improvement tools. These resources explain the differences among the three systems and discuss how they can be used individually or in combination to meet organizational needs.
Why should we participate in the Baldrige Program when we have to do ISO 9001 certification?
In today's competitive marketplace, ISO 9001 registration is increasingly becoming a requirement for doing business in many industries and with organizations in Europe in particular—but to remain competitive, organizations need to go beyond ISO 9001. The Baldrige Criteria provide an integrated, results-oriented framework for designing, implementing, and assessing the management of all operations. The Baldrige Criteria focus on competitiveness—specifically the delivery of ever-improving value to customers, the improvement of overall organizational effectiveness and capabilities, and organizational and personal learning. The Criteria also place heavy emphasis on business results in areas such as customer satisfaction and engagement and customer-perceived value; product and service performance; financial and marketplace performance; workforce capability, capacity, climate, satisfaction, engagement, and development and operational effectiveness. Many organizations that have attained ISO registration often find Baldrige as the next step to pursuing excellence.
In "Better Than ISO? How Baldrige Benefits Manufacturers," Dr. Luis Calingo, current president of Woodbury University, said
If you fully implement the ISO 9001 QMS, you may be getting at less than half of what Baldrige asks about. . . . The Baldrige framework provides a holistic, systems-based business model that builds alignment across the organization by making connections between and reinforcing organizational systems, processes, strategy, and results. . . . The Baldrige framework is like the blueprint of a building, with ISO used for specific systems within the building such as electrical and air conditioning systems.

I have searched for this in the forums but haven't found anything. I am sure that a plug-in must exist or there is a simple fix for this but I can't figure it out.
I want to hide the main navigation menu on my wordpress site so that it only shows up by clicking on a button or hovering over a certain area of the page.
Is there an easy way to do this?

i think it's more of an problem down here in the South, where lifeguards are few and far in between, as opposed to up North, where the beaches are more tightly controlled. for instance, I have close friends in ACBP management and i've seen them in action up close - they don't even allow people in past their knees on big days. the policy seems restrictive but it saves the lifeguards a lot of aggravation and has probably saved the lives of more than a few fools. down here, surfers save more people than the lifeguards, because we're usually quicker to spot the problem. it's a solid argument against establishing surf zones.

Did Krystle snap out of her coma? Did Blake get out of jail? And did Alexis ever recover from that over-the-balcony tumble she took with ex-husband Dex Dexter?
When Dynasty was yanked off the air more than two years ago, many such big, unresolved story lines were left dangling like rubies from Joan Collins' ears — and now, finally, we're going to get some answers: On Oct. 20 and 22, ABC will broadcast Dynasty: The Reunion, a four-hour miniseries bringing the Carrington chronicles into the 1990s.
For eight years, from Jan. 12, 1981, to May 11, 1989, Dynasty's eye-popping excesses and loopy plot twists made it one of the decade's highest-rated dramas; in the 1984-85 season, it even beat out Dallas to become the year's No. 1 show. Fans ranged from college kids to world leaders (both Gerald Ford and Henry Kissinger did cameos). Its cancellation — caused by fading ratings and rising production costs that reportedly reached nearly $2 million per episode — marked the death of the opulent '80s on prime-time TV.
But for two nights, anyway, the Greed Decade will be back, and after visiting the set, we're happy to report that Reunion has everything that made the original Dynasty such a hoot: outlandish plots, fabulous wardrobes, lavish settings, and even a shin-kicking cat fight.
On these pages, a taste of what you'll see this week, when Lifestyles of the Rich and Heinous makes its gaudy return.
Dessert Storm
The evening meal is being served at the Carrington mansion. Blake Carrington stands at the head of the table, his champagne glass raised in a toast to his wife, Krystle, who has just returned from Switzerland, where she was detained by being in a coma for about three years. Seated at the table is the Carrington brood, including Blake's scheming ex-wife, Alexis (who tried many times to destroy his oil empire), his precocious daughter, Fallon (who once got amnesia and forgot whom she was married to), and son Adam Carrington, who once raped and beat his wife, Kirby.
"I am a very lucky man," Blake announces to the group. "Everything a man could want is right here."
Talk about forgive and forget.
"Don't try to analyze it," advises Kathleen Beller, the 36-year-old actress who plays Kirby. "This is Dynasty. It's supposed to be fun, not profound. I personally could never figure out why all these rich people who didn't like each other lived in the same mansion. I'm sitting at the dinner table with a man who raped me? I mean, c'mon!"
Let's Get Physical
The place: the Merchandise Mart in downtown L.A. Joan Collins, 58, and Linda Evans, 48, are getting ready to film another in their ( series of famous cat fights. In past episodes, Alexis and Krystle have duked it out in a lily pond, a mud puddle, a beauty parlor, and a burning cabin. This time they'll be mixing it up in a fashion-house workroom — and don't ask why.
"It would be more interesting if I said that I really wanted to slug Joan," offers Evans before the cameras start rolling. "But we've never had a (real) fight. Never screamed at each other. We respect each other."
Standing nearby, Collins is chewing intensely on a piece of gum. "I abhor violence," she says. "I bruise very easily. I dread doing these scenes. I hate them." She turns to a group of onlookers. "You're in my line of vision!" she snaps. "Stay still as stone!"

Skip to comments.U.S. Supreme Court to weigh cell phone searches by police
Posted on 01/18/2014 2:36:24 AM PST by BuckeyeTexan
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. Supreme Court agreed on Friday to decide whether police can search an arrested criminal suspect's cell phone without a warrant in two cases that showcase how the courts are wrestling to keep up with rapid technological advances.
Taking up cases from California and Massachusetts arising from criminal prosecutions that used evidence obtained without a warrant, the high court will wade into how to apply older court precedent, which allows police to search items carried by a defendant at the time of arrest, to cell phones.
(Excerpt) Read more at ca.news.yahoo.com ...

Good luck with that, my phone nukes itself if you enter the code wrong enough times.
Why is it that everyone forgot this about a warrant?
"particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized."
In other words, EXACTLY the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.
That's what the Constitution says.
And everyone needs to see your own relevant state constitutions for the exact wording.
Hint dint use an iPhone. Cops can easily pull info off of it.
With an iPhone you don't need a code.
I'm with you. Since the police can and do confiscate, inventory, and securely store all personal effects of an arrested person, to remove weapons and anything that might be used for escape, there are rarely (other than with the ticking bomb found in fiction and in big government fantasies) exigent circumstances which create a compelling need for immediate action to search the phone. If law enforcement wants to do a lawful search, they can get a warrant. Otherwise, government agents have no business searching "persons, houses, papers, and effects" when the phone clearly qualifies as "effects" and is the modern equivalent of "papers".
I have nothing sensitive on my phone, but I am sensitive to protecting what's left of our Constitution. If we're going to throw out evidence based on Miranda violations, we should certainly throw out evidence based on unlawful searches.
More fine tuning to "expectation of privacy"?
Oh, wait, we already know it is not private, the NSA has it all, already.
The school in which I teach is embroiled in a rape case that made international headlines. One of the issues was those who took pics on their iPhones. BCI could not retrieve that data after it was deleted, but only if the owner had not forwarded the pictures.
They are worried about someone initiating a remote wipe before they can get a warrant according to the article.
I read the article and saw nothing about that possibility, nor did I see any indication in either case under consideration that such a possibility was a consideration. One of the phones in question was not even a smart phone. Perhaps I missed it, but even so a remote wipe strikes me more as an excuse than a valid justification. In the rare event that they have a sophisticated criminal, worthy of "24", the police can shield the phone or remove the battery (least intrusive means to preserve evidence, comparable to stationing police outside the private residence of a detained suspect while awaiting a warrant) while waiting for a warrant.
My phone memory is encrypted so there isn't much they are going to do.
Uh, yes. If the guy was arrested for a crime, why not? If they arrest somebody, can't they search his car without a warrant?
Oops. Must of been in one of the other linked articles. I agree with your conclusion.
The courts and the police and their respective operations are anachronisms. They are buggy-whip manufacturers who happen to have the force of law behind them.
Like the 19th Century tax code they often enforce, their structures and staffing are meant to protect jobs.
This is why constitutional principles should trump any particulars of contemporary technology. Searching one's phone without a warrant is the same as searching a home or a vehicle. When courts get tangled up in the minutiae of a case they have unquestionably abandoned their mission.
All formerly "American" institutions are now "Imperial" ones. America died a long time ago. We worker bees just haven't received the memo to stand down.
My cell phone needs a pin number to access it. Let's say I was arrested and the police wanted to search my phone without a warrant. They ask for the pin number, I refuse. They then obtain a warrant and again ask for the pin number. Do I have to give it to them or can I cite the 5th Amendment protection against self incrimination?
Unless the phone manufacturer build a back door at the direction of the NSA.
I'd like to see a 48 hour GPS trail that Trayvon used up until his death. I'll bet it placed him inside of some neighborhood homes. But we'll never know because Attorney Crump had it erased.
IIRC, Trayvon Martin's cell phone was double encrypted. It took 6 months to break the encryption on it...but they did. And then the judge ruled it couldn't be used due to authentication issues.
The right to privacy applies only to the murder of the unborn, apparently.
You have the right to remain SILENT! Never, ever forget that.
Sometime after that, someone at the states attorneys office shipped Trayvon's phone to a law enforcement agency in California for analysis. The agency was "seemingly able" to access the internal memory. The state refuses to give the defense any information as to who at the states attorneys office decided to do this, the name of the agency it was sent to, the identity of the analyst who obtained the data, or the results obtained.
After the unnamed agency returned the phone, during the first week of January, 2013, the state sent it to Cellebrite in New Jersey for analysis. Cellebrite also was able to access the internal memory, and the state provided the defense with the results on January 18. The defense says Cellebrite obtained an "enormous" amount of information from the internal memory. But, guess what's missing? All data for Feburary 26, the day/evening of the shooting.
That's an excerpt from the Talk Left blog. So, it was even more cunning than Crump's shenanigans.
Not true. A hacker retrieved it and got a worse sentence than the actual rapist.
Probably. I don't know why they bother. That particular phrase has pretty much destroyed the 4th amendment already.
You must be thinking of a different case. In this case no hackers retrieved anything; therefore, nobody was prosecuted except the two rapists. Five others have recently been indicted by the grand jury regarding an elleged cover-up though.
If this is the Steubenville rape then its the right one...if not then its a different one.
Yes, the Steubenville case. No hackers hacked anything. Some tech savvy activists pulled youtube vids that the kids posted then deleted, but there is nothing illegal about that. When you put something on the Internet it's always there. Our tech administrator is alleged to have tried to delete info off of our school computers and will go to trial soon for that.
See Arizona v. Gant (2009).
The court limited the regularly abused "search incident to arrest" which was originally carved out as an exception to the warrant requirement to prevent the destruction of evidence or officer safety.
But the cops were arresting people for minor traffic violations or outstanding warrants for failure to pay tickets, etc. then searching everything in the car while the person is handcuffed in the back seat of the police car.
Scalia griped about the abuse of search incident (since the cops expanded it to situations where the rationale for the rule wasn't implicated) since the late 80s. He was exactly right, and finally got a 5-4 majority in the above referenced case.
Now the facts must implicate the original basis for search incident to arrest, or the search must be an offense related search.
So, if one is arrested for running a stop sign and placed in the back of the patrol car, the cops can't search everything in the car pursuant to the arrest.
It's hard to imagine many stops where the contents of the phone should be subject to a warrantless search.
Either way, if I thought they might confiscate my phone I would probably go to settings and reset (erase) my phone.
I could always restore it later at home- that is if they gave me the phone back.
I would take this article with a grain of salt. First, the rapists have not had 1/3 of their sentences reduced. Richmond was just released, which is exactly one year. Mays has another year left, and if anything could serve more time. So that part of the article is incorrect. Second, Steubenville considers these two martyrs for going to jail. As far as the community is concerned, it is the victim's fault and they were just boys being boys. In fact, after the verdict two additional students were arrested for using social media to harass and threaten the victim. If somebody had been arrested for releasing this info, it would have been celebrated throughout the city. It was not. We've never heard of this guy. Third, BCI admitted that nothing was hacked and that the released info was already posted by those involved and then taken down. You know Twitchy's slogan: The Internet is forever.
Again, the only info released to the public was info posted on the Internet and then deleted or texts made public by those involved before arrests and warrants. None of this is illegal.
How bout UPI? http://www.upi.com/Odd_News/Blog/2014/01/13/Anonymous-hacker-who-exposed-Steubenville-rapists-facing-more-jail-time-than-sex-offenders/6451389643497/
I would like to add that I will ask the detectives about this guy at church today. I'd like more info because if it's true that he was arrested it's very creepy we've never heard of it.
Thanks. My question may be moot. My wife works with internet security and she told me there is software that can crack a 4 digit pin in under a minute.

Analyzing our assets
A team of specialists from the Mississippi Development Authority has analyzed New Albany's assets and attractiveness to visitors, as well as potential manufacturers and developers.
While generally praising New Albany's downtown, parks, the Union County Heritage Museum, and Baptist Memorial Hospital, the group suggested a number of "tweaks" to improve community attractiveness and signage for visitors.
Diane O'Toole, who headed the state group, said the downtown exit off U.S. 78 (Interstate 22) needs to be developed at the "gateway" to the city. She suggested working with the state to landscape the exit, keep the grass mowed, and develop and enforce uniform building codes along the route (Carter Avenue) downtown.
She recommended improving signage to downtown, the museum and parks by installing upscale, attractive signs featuring the logo already on New Albany's entrance signs.
The group recommended brick pedestrian crosswalks downtown, landscaped curb cuts and installation of larger flag pennants and extend the pennants and decorative lighting west beyond the Tallahatchie River.
"Pretty sells, ugly don't," she told the audience at the Union County Development Association annual meeting last week.
The group also suggested other things, including designating the Highway 30 exit at U.S. 78 as the "medical corridor," promoting the Bankhead Highway and the Tanglefoot Trail for tourism, and pushing expansion of the museum.
We support all of the recommendations made by the Development Authority. None are beyond the long-term means of the city; the problem is malaise, not money.

Our list of the best smartphones available to buy with a budget of £100
A few years ago you had to fork out a significant amount to get your hands on a phone with a decent display, good performance and the ability to browse the internet. But the price of smartphones has decreased rapidly in recent times, meaning there are some true bargains to be had.
We've picked out the best smartphones that are priced under £100 (SIM-Free or on Pay As You Go). You'll be pretty amazed at what you can get for your money. All the mobiles listed are available to buy in the UK and we'll continue to update our list throughout 2016 and beyond.
Anyway, enough talk and on with our list of the best smartphones available for under £100.
All of these phones are cheap, but at just £70 the Microsoft Lumia 535 is almost unbelievably affordable. For that money you get a 5.0 inch 540 x 960 display with a pixel density of 220 pixels per inch for clear visuals, a 1.2GHz quad-core Snapdragon 200 processor and 1GB of RAM, so it's not that powerful, but it still performs well, even under pressure.
It's solidly built too, with a colourful plastic shell which you can swap out if you ever feel like a change. There's no 4G, just a 5MP camera and only 4GB of storage, but there's a microSD card slot too so you can easily expand on that and it runs Windows Phone 8.1 so you can get brand new features like Cortana and Action Centre without having to spend much money. It also has a 5MP selfie snapper, which is a real bonus at this price and you can expect Windows 10 Mobile to make its way over before long too.
The original Motorola Moto E was incredible value and sold well as a result. Now Motorola's back with a slightly better and marginally more expensive successor.
At just £75 it's still incredibly affordable but it's surprisingly good too, with a 4.5-inch 540 x 960 screen for a pixel density of 245 pixels per inch, a 1.2GHz quad-core Snapdragon 410 processor and 1GB of RAM.
It also has a fairly attractive, albeit plastic design and feels solidly built. Plus it's water resistant so it can take a splash and while it only has 8GB of built in storage there's also a microSD card slot.
The 5MP camera is pretty poor and it lacks advanced features like NFC, but it's a reliable smartphone with solid performance for under £100 and it even has 4G, which still isn't standard at this sort of price.
The Nokia Lumia 635 is essentially a tweaked version of the Nokia Lumia 630, adding 4G connectivity and changing from a matte plastic cover to a more eye-catching glossy one.
Other than that it's the same as that already impressive handset, with a clear 4.5-inch 480 x 854 IPS LCD display, a 1.2GHz quad-core Snapdragon 400 processor, 512MB of RAM, 8GB of storage, a microSD card slot, an 1830 mAh battery and a 5MP camera.
That's combined with the lightweight and sleek Windows Phone 8.1 operating system that leaves it with slick performance and you can get all of this for just £80, or if you can live without 4G you could always opt for the Lumia 630 and save yourself a tenner.
At around £70 SIM free the LG Leon is about as far as you can get from flagship pricing, yet it has a surprising amount of the LG G4's features.
Knock Code is arguably one of the most exciting, letting you unlock the phone by tapping out a pattern, even when the screen is off. This is a skill that few phones can match, even high-end ones.
The LG Leon also has gesture and voice controls for its camera, which isn't that unusual but isn't something you expect to see on budget models.
Then there's its rear keys, which are unusual and unique outside of LG's range of phones. They make the Leon eye-catching in a way that few cheap handsets are.
The specs are more what you'd expect for a low-end model, with a 4.5-inch 854 x 480 screen, a 5MP camera, a 1.2GHz quad-core Snapdragon 410 processor and 1GB of RAM. But while they're not special they're solid for the money and as highlighted above the LG Leon stands out in more than one way.
The EE Harrier Mini can be seen as the successor to the EE Kestrel, along with the pricier EE Harrier.
For under £100 it gives you a sharp 4.7-inch 720 x 1280 display, a 1.2GHz quad-core processor, 1GB of RAM and a surprisingly high spec 8MP camera.
Being an EE phone it also supports 4G of course, so your mobile data needs are covered and with Android 5.0 its software is almost up to date.
Perhaps most excitingly it's currently one of the cheapest phones to offer WiFi Calling, giving it a serious selling point, particularly as only a handful of other handsets have the feature at all.
With solid battery life, a microSD card slot and a decent if unexceptional build there's not much that's missing here, especially not for such a low price.
The original Moto G with 4G is one of the best budget smartphones on the planet. With starting prices of around £100 it only just squeezes into this list, but you get a whole lot for your money.
With a 1.2GHz quad-core Snapdragon 400 processor and 1GB of RAM it's a snappy performer, while its 4.5 inch 720 x 1280 IPS LCD display is both big and high quality as low end phones go, with a pixel density of 326 pixels per inch.
There are other good things to say about it too. It runs Android Lollipop, has a capable 5MP camera and an attractive build and with 8GB of storage (or more if you pay more) it's not as limited as some cheap phones.
It's since been superseded by a 2nd and 3rd generation Moto G, with larger screens and more power and they're great options too, but they will stretch your budget even further.
This is a name you might not know, but you should, as this Huawei handset is fantastic value for money.
It comes with a big and surprisingly high resolution 5.0-inch 720 x 1280 display, a 1.3GHz quad-core processor, 1GB of RAM and a generous 16GB of built in storage, plus a microSD card slot.
But the camera is the real star here, as its 8MP snapper is capable of taking detailed shots and it even has a solid 2MP camera on the front for taking selfies.
The design is bland and Huawei's Emotion UI is a bit simplistic for our tastes, but with a big screen, a good camera and a decent amount of power it's well worth what it costs.
The long line of high quality yet affordable Lumia's has arguably reached its peak with the Lumia 640.
The phone squeaks in at just over £100, but you can expect to find it on pay as you go for less and you get an awful lot for your money. Its large 5.0-inch 720 x 1280 display is hard to ignore, while its 1.2GHz quad-core Snapdragon 400 processor and 1GB of RAM ensure it's not short on power, plus it has a capable 8MP camera and runs Windows Phone 8.1.
It's not likely to become dated any time soon as it will be upgraded to Windows 10 for phones when that launches and on top of the phone itself you also get a one year subscription to Office 365 when you buy it.
That's valued at £59.99 in itself and includes 1TB of OneDrive storage, so even though there's only 8GB of built in memory there's no reason to run short.
Not content with just providing SIM cards and contracts, Vodafone also makes own-brand handsets and the Smart Prime 6 is one of its best yet, combining an affordable price tag with surprisingly impressive specs.
The highlight is arguably its impressive battery life, as while Vodafone hasn't confirmed how big its juice pack is it's rated for up to 18 hours of talk time. That's well above average for any smartphone, let alone a budget one, so it's a great choice for power users.
It also has a 1.2GHz quad-core processor and 1GB of RAM so it's fairly powerful and it has a large 5.0-inch 720p screen. Its 8MP camera is seriously impressive for the price too and while it only has 8GB of storage it also has a microSD card slot with support for cards of up to 64GB. It even supports 4G for speedy mobile data.
The Vodafone Smart Prime 6 is surprisingly stylish too, with a slim 9mm thick build and metal keys, though the casing is still plastic.
Few brand name phones offer 4G on a budget, but at around £100 the HTC Desire 510 fits the bill. Speedy data isn't all it offers though, with the phone also providing solid performance thanks to a 1.2GHz quad-core Snapdragon 410 processor and 1GB of RAM.
A microSD card slot ensures there's plenty of storage space and its sizeable 4.7-inch 480 x 854 screen is a great way to enjoy all your apps and media.
The HTC Desire 510's 2100 mAh juice pack also provides pretty decent battery life, with the phone easily lasting a day or more with mixed use.
The 5MP camera could be better, but there are always going to be sacrifices at this price and in most other ways the HTC Desire 510 is a pretty good phone.

Tour Squad Goals
With all the sun, sea and sporting shenanigans which ensue on tour, comes the need for heightened awareness and responsibility, not only for your own personal welfare, but for your friends and fellow squad members as well.
ILOVETOUR have always advocated safety on tour, and 2016 is no different. So here are a few tour squad goals which we kindly ask you to consider, before you set-off on your tour of a lifetime over the next few weeks...
SalouFest Students kick start a bumper year in Spain!
In just a few days time nearly 20,000 ILOVETOUR university students will be boarding COACHES and flights bound for mainland Europe on an Easter Springbreak sports tour of a lifetime.
Since the 1990's the cost-effective choice of tour for sports students has been to head to organised multi-sport easter festivals, however back then options were somewhat limited and the Isle of Man was the only go-to destination!
ILOVETOUR is the number 1 organiser of group travel for UK university students!
We organise the BIGGEST and BEST sports tours and trips for thousands of University students.
We believe that a student sports tour is an absolute rite of passage and if you haven't tried it yet then you haven't truly experienced all that university has to offer. The week is jam packed with sports tournaments, huge nights out, amazing DJs, fancy dress, beach parties, and boat parties. Find out more details about sports tours here.
We also arrange travel for student groups looking for a tailor made experience. Whether you are looking for an educational trip, a party weekend, a RAG fundraiser or just a tour for your group of mates we can sort you out with a package designed to suit you. Not only do we make sure you have everything you need along the way, we'll do it at student friendly prices so there's no need to blow the whole student loan on a weekend away.
Our team will work with you from start to finish and help you at every step. We will make sure it's as simple as possible to organise the trip and with our student friendly booking system it's hassle free for group leaders.
ILOVETOUR is ABTA and ATOL bonded so your money is safe when you book through us. Student safety is paramount to us and our Health & Safety procedures are marketing leading. You can find more details about student safety by visiting our About Us pages.

Manchester United Message Board

Luka Modric
No, Ian, this is Spursbabe.Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies
"What pro-United posters have been spamming the boards, and making unprovoked abusive comments?"
"I've never defended him for those comments, but fair enough, I should, and resolve to, point out that he can react to, and insult the content of your posts without references to your gender. That is something I should have been doing."
ian, eric & rikki all have made unprovoked abusive comments quite regularly towards me.
also, im not asking u to speak up against it. but im pointing out u speak up against it when a ABU does it but not when a utd fan does. for example, like i have pointed out with ian. but its your choice. when ian,rikki & eric say abusive comments towards me i just usually ignore it as none of us respect them so why should we care what they say. i dont need u to speak up against it. but as i explained, i just find it very selective, unwise & biased of u to speak up against it when its done to utd supporter. especially when that utd supporter is abusive & sexist. basically, choose who u defend more wisely! or dont. up to u.
me-"also how (many) posts does ian actually make about utd compared to arguing with abus/trolls?"
u-"More than he'd be making if the ABUs grew up and left. What I see seems to be Ian reacting to ABU abuse, not instigating it."
that just shows how biased u are being. if u thought rationally surely u could work out that the more u respond & the more attention u give to ABUs, the more they will post.
do u really think getting in to an argument with them is the most wise thing to do?
u could click ignore button if its still there? or theres just ignoring them mentally. surely u dont have any respect for these ABUs or what they say? so in that case why argue back.
can only be 1 reason. u & ian like to argue with them. in that case, it kind of defeats your whole annoyance at the ABUs for pestering the boards. u & ian both actively encourage ABUs.
u seem to want to whinge about them but at the same time do everything in your power to attract them & get them to post even more.
"I've never once tried to shut down or avoid a discussion on homophobia, so why say I'm ignoring it?"
because u dont speak up against it which means u are ignoring the problem arent u?
but u seem to think if u dont shut down or avoid speaking on an issue, u are doing enough for that cause.
also, i think u are being very naive if u don't think their are in things in regards to what to speak out against. maybe u live in a different community to me. but where i live its much more "in" to speak out against racism than things like homophobic issues. maybe u don't like the term "the in thing". by that i mean its more accepted to speak out against it. we can throw sexism & mental health issues in to the less so in things.
& i never meant u cant speak up against racism if u don't speak up on other serious issues. u are free to do what u want. all im saying is, shouldn't u be speaking up on other serious issues too? if u feel u shouldn't, then that's your choice.
u can use relevance as an excuse not to talk about other issues. When there's a thread about we should do more to combat racism in football, surely me saying we should also do much more about homophobic issues too is fairly relevant. & even if I do mention a issue that's irrelevant to the thread, that's a pretty irrelevant excuse for u personally not doing more to help with that issue.
& even when its an irrelevant issue to the thread, I still have a relevant point. its why are so many people quick to speak up against issues they don't do, yet bury their head in the sand on issues we do nothing about to stop! yet still no one has said an acceptable reason why they do this.
& just so we are clear, i never said i have a problem with people speaking up against racism. i have a problem with people who speak up against 1 issue like racism (happened to be racism because that's the only issue people have regularly really mentioned on these boards), but then are actively harming other issues. for example ian,rikki & eric. between them they have spouted a combination of sexist, homophobic & mental disability abuse. but then i see them on a thread speaking up against racism. i just think that's completely wrong. & i think they are smug speaking out against racism trying to make themselves feel like they are a good human being, despite the fact they spout sexist, homophobic & mental disability abuse. also i don't think it helps a cause when someone like ian,eric or rikki spouting sexist, homophobic & mental disability abuse supports your cause. its not good by association really is it!

Enlighted, the company bringing the Internet of Things (IoT) to the workplace with its smart sensor network and lighting control, announced that it has secured $20 million in a Series D funding round. All of Enlighted's current investors -- Draper Nexus Ventures, Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers, RockPort Capital Partners, Draper Fisher Jurvetson and Intel Capital -- participated in this round.
"Enlighted is on a tear, with strong customer momentum and revenue growth," said Joe Costello, who was recently appointed chairman and chief executive officer of Enlighted. "With this latest funding, we'll be able to keep up with current demand and continue to develop advanced workplace applications based on our sensor network and analytics platform, further extending the value of our system for customers."
Enlighted's people-smart lighting sensor product not only saves energy in commercial environments, but also increases comfort of occupants by adapting to individual and ambient lighting conditions. The system securely and anonymously collects data onto the Enlighted platform, to report on occupancy, environment and activity within a space. The evolving platform will soon add HVAC, security and other applications to the current lighting sensor functionality.
"Enlighted improves enterprise productivity and reduces operating costs through a combination of sensors, connectivity and big data analytics," said Trae Vassallo, partner at Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers and member of Enlighted's board of directors. "Enlighted turns commercial buildings into powerful computing platforms -- putting the Internet of Things to work for its customers."
The second quarter of 2014 marked Enlighted's best quarter yet. Enlighted's advanced sensor network and lighting control system is currently deployed in 45 million square feet of office space across customers such as LinkedIn, Google, AT&T, Barclays and Genentech.
About Enlighted
Enlighted provides people-smart energy efficiency solutions for commercial environments. Its first application -- advanced lighting control, built on the Enlighted sensor and analytics platform -- saves companies between 50% and 70% in energy costs while tuning individual workspaces for the comfort and efficiency of the people who work in them. Additional applications ranging from occupancy and real estate analysis, to HVAC controls to security services are based on additional data that can be observed and aggregated on the Enlighted Application.

With so much going on in this space you could be forgiven for thinking you were always working with yesterday's technologies. So much change, so quickly. What do you do if you have to build a solution from the ground up that is expected to live in the field for at least 5-10 years? This is the challenge we faced when we looked to refresh our existing 10-year-old custom hardware stack to measure the fullness of trash cans and compactors.

Love that poster.
The "Automobilist" looks like he could be some kind of gangster himself, with that gaudy fur coat on.
Note, as an aside, that that poster continues the pattern of illustrations of early automobiles - they frequently drove on unpaved roads.
Henry Ford developed the means to mass-produce automobiles.
Then, some time later, governments started paving roads.
Government did not, as The Won asserts, start paving roads to make it possible for someone to start mass-producing automobiles.
Those coats were the cat's pajamas at one time. I believe they were made of raccoon fur.
Wonderful post!!
They were.
The dude in the fur coat is obviously some rich robber-baron / tycoon tea-party nut job on his way to the weekly KKK meeting and those two innocent men on the road look like hard-working union-members simply asking for help or, as Great Leader would say, their fair share.
Proving also that Ford didn't need roads at all to be a successful manufacturer...the customers came to him and thereby demanded better access to Ford's product.

I hear tell there used to be a country called the "United States of America" ... land of the free and home of the brave.
What happened to it?
Turnbull manufacturing does an amazing job on restoring 1875 and 1886 winchesters. Their color case hardening is amazing, but sometimes they go over the to with exotic minerals and finishes. That is a beautiful 1886. I wonder who refinished it?

Oliver Stone's Untold History of the United States
"Untold History of the United States challenges the basic narrative of the U.S. history that most Americans have been taught.... [Such history] is consoling; it is comforting. But it only tells a small part of the story." Instead of clips of modern people pondering the past, Oliver Stone's ten-part series relies heavily on archival footage and clips from old Hollywood films, with narration by Stone. Towards the end, he gets into the assassination of JFK, "but that should not detract from a series that sets out to be a counterweight to the patriotic cheerleading and myth-making." [more inside]
The Cake Felt 'Round the World
Less than a year after the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the United States detonated the fourth and fifth nuclear weapons under the name Operation Crossroads in July 1946. Beyond testing the capabilities of nuclear bombs, the Navy said it wanted the Bikini tests treated like "the story of the year, maybe of the decade, and possibly of a lifetime." Only two of the three bombs were detonated, and the project was shut down over the next months. To celebrate the efforts of Operation Crossroads, a cake in the shape of a mushroom cloud was featured at a publicized event on November 5, 1946. In response to this display, Reverend Arthur Powell Davies, the minister of the Unitarian All Souls Church in Washington, D.C., gave a sermon on the "utterly loathsome picture" and the message it sent to other nations. That sermon set off a flurry of replies and reactions, that extended around the world, including a connection formed between Reverend Davies' All Souls Unitarian Church and school children in Hiroshima.

The day the sky exploded
The day the sky exploded. Ever wondered exactly what happened when the H-bomb hit Hiroshima? So did lots of scientists.. It's not pointless curiosity - these discoveries should help us all in the future. Of course, those in charge had other things in mind at the time. Hiroshima previously well examined here.

I am in quite a state, as you will see. Sometimes writing about the kind of stuff I focus on is damn near impossible. I mean, when events themselves become more cynical than anything I can concoct, why bother.
It's been that kind of month. No matter where I look I find reality has out-cynicaled me. And it's not just the usual suspects on the right running amok, either.
For example, this Tuesday Hillary Clinton was asked if she agreed with Joint Chief of Staff, Gen. Peter Pace's, statement that homosexuality was "immoral."
And how did our little triangulation hag reply?
"I'll leave that determination to others."
Oh my. And Hillary, whatya about the genocide in Sudan? You gonna leave that determination to others too? You can bet she would — if there was a large enough block of pro-Sudanese voters here she could round up. That woman is beyond contempt.
Hillary Clinton is nothing less than the anti-Christ of the Democratic Party.
Known and very popular cialis coupon which gives all the chance to receive a discount for a preparation which has to be available and exactly cialis coupons has been found in the distant room of this big house about which wood-grouses in the houses tell.
Things have been no better on the right, as we've seen with the scandal at the Bush Justice Dept. It was hardly a revelation that Alberto was never anything more than George W. Bush's obedient legal houseboy. But Gonzales and Karl Rove's ham-handed execution of the US Attorney purge made the Bush/Cheney WMD gambit in Iraq look like a well-oiled scheme.
Then there's the growing mess in my wallet. Well, actually in all our wallets. The happy talkers on Wall Street are performing the financial-markets version of the movie, "Weekend at Bernies." Every time the public gets spooked by stocks, and the market dives, the insiders dress the stock market up in a lively Hawaiian shirt, slap on a pair of sunglasses, drag the body out in public and declare that rumors of the market's death have been greatly exaggerated.
So far it's worked. The suckers buy, afraid they are about to miss out on a rising market. The market recovers, once again – a classic dead cat bounce. They even have a name for it — "a sucker rally." That gives the insiders one more chance to unload their stocks — on who? The suckers of course.
Wonder where the insiders are putting their money? (Here) Hey, they may be evil, greedy, cynical little liars and cheats, but they aren't stupid. They count on you being stupid. You who buy their over-appreciated shares at the top of bull markets. You who pay them fat loan fees on high interest, usurious home loans, credit cards and cash-out refinancing, just so you can live beyond your means. You who so eagerly trade your precious home equity to "invest" in wasting assets – you know, like SUVs, boats, vacations... stuff a smart person would only buy with disposal income. But no, you borrow, from them, then buy their stuff with their borrowed money. In the old days it was called "the company store." Today it's just called stupid.
If the shoe fits, wear it. And you deserve all the misery that's heading your way.
Democrats in Congress – arrrggggghhhhaaaaaa! You little bastards. We voted for you last November because you said you were going to end the illegal-immoral-waste-of-money-and-lives war in Iraq. So why haven't you? You can't even rally enough gumption to force a freaking debate in the Senate on the war... a war that is draining nearly $10 billion a month from my wallet... my kid's wallet, my grandkids wallet's and my great-freaking-grandkids wallets.
You guys misled us. So don't be getting on your high-horse on the campaign trail about how Bush mislead us into the war. Because now you're in the same boat with him — you misled us into believing you were going to reverse that outrage. You haven't, and that's an outrage too. So shut up until you live up to your earlier promises. (Oh, and please spare us the bull about how "hard" it is to get the votes. When you say that you sound just like you-know-who.)
Then all week I had to sit through news footage of George lecturing South Americans on the promise of bio-fuels, as though he were Al Gore's twin brother, or something. Meanwhile we are still trying to find out just what Cheney's Energy Task Force cooked up with energy producers back in 2001 that gave us $3 a gallon gas and sky high home heating bills.
Walter Reed.... there's another wart that bugs the hell out of me. That damn hospital isn't in Omaha Nebraska, it's in down-freaking-town Washington D.C. It's just a few city blocks from Capitol Hill. Just a cheap cab ride from the offices of Republican and Democratic members of Congress who are now pontificating about the outrageous conditions and treatment of our wounded GI's.
I bet that every one of those blow hards has one of those yellow "Support Our Troops" ribbons on their bumper, the bastard hypocrites. How come THEY didn't know? I bet their staffers got plenty of complaints from military families and GI's long before the Washington Post reported on the mess. And I bet all those complaints were ignored. Am I wrong? Okay, then I demand an audit of every member of congress' email for the past two years. I will put my home up as collateral on a bet that we would discover lots of complaints – hundreds of them — about the shameful treatment our wounded troops were getting.
Then there's Halliburton – the company once run by Dick Cheney. First Halliburton makes hundreds of millions of dollars off a war started by it's former CEO, and screws American taxpayers blue in the process. Then, just as congressional subpoenas are about to fly the company skips the US for a safe haven in Dubai. But wait, there's more. At the same time the company removes itself from the line of legal fire, and US taxes, it announced that Halliburton was going to hire an additional 13,000 employees. My, my, but it would appear someone has big plans for the future. I wonder what Halliburton thinks is just down the road that would require that many additional food-servers, base-builders, logistic and supply services for the Pentagon?
See? See the state I'm in? See why I have not been able to put fingers to keyboard for days?
Just yesterday a federal court ruled that a woman dying of cancer has no right to relieve her pain by smoking marijuana. Hello? What are the feds afraid will happen? That the poor woman will ruin her life – or more precisely, what's left of it? With so many really important things going wrong, with so much blood being spilled in Iraq, with the administration working day and night to subvert justice with political sycophantic political appointees – US attorney's wasted our time, our resources, and their moral authority to make sure one woman dying of cancer can't smoke grass. What's wrong with that picture? Am I crazy for thinking they're crazy?
Up until now I've boosted my morale by reminding myself that Bush has "just" two years left in office. But that's not working for me anymore. I honestly don't think we can survive two more years of Bush/Cheney. Not because they are a couple of ultra-conservatives with whom I disagree, but because it's now clear they are as mad as a couple of hatters. And I don't mean that figuratively, either. I mean OCD, megalomania, paranoid/schizophrenic crazy. It's clear now that those two are capable of damn near anything – especially now that their days in control are numbered. When crazy people learn they're coming for them, they hurry up with whatever it is they are obsessing over at the time.
There is a solution, but it would require mature Democrats and thoughtful Republicans to do something: pull the national parking brake and refuse to let go until January 2009.
They need to bring the whole Bush/Cheney juggernaut to an immediate, screeching halt. They need to cut off financing for the war and begin an orderly withdrawal. They need to insist on congressional authorization for any new military deployments or attacks on anyone, anywhere, anytime. And if they claim we face attack, require compelling and independently confirmed evidence.
Oh, and just to let those two manics at the top know congress is serious, they should immediately begin impeachment proceedings against Attorney General, Alberto Gonzales. Because there's nothing quite like a fresh blood on the carpet to send the message that this time Congress is serious. Dead serious.
Whew! I needed that rant.

ranting is good for the soul
Bravo. You touched on so many issues and I found myself saying, "yep" to almost everything except
...Halliburton makes hundreds of millions of dollars off a war started by it's former CEOI just don't think Cheney, with all his faults, sat around and concocted a war to make himself some money. Shooting soomeone in the face with birdshot, sure, but not this.
Now that I think about it, what "compelling and independently confirmed evidence" are you referring to? What other company could provide this information? Cutting and (orderly) running is probably not the right answer, however I would agree that it is time for the Iraqi people to get off the pot. What we didn't expect 4 years ago was the fermenting violence among the Iraqi's to finally come to fruition when their despotic leader went into hiding. It is hard to unite people when they continually kill other muslims.
I read a lot of anti-war comments, although not in this post, that are along the lines of "We need to get out of Iraq because it is sucking up precious money that could be used to help the homeless, the hungry, illegal immigrants, etc." true that money could be used for that. But I think people are just using it as a talking point for their anti-war stance. Most of those people gave 2 shits about the homeless/hungry until the war started. Not all, but some.
Great commentary (rant) and i will look forward to more.
