text: by Teresa Jurgens-Kowal Apr 30, 2012 Comments (1) AIChE Topics: Recommended Reading Share This Post: Jumping the S-Curve by Paul Nunes and Tim Breene, Harvard Business Review Press: Boston, MA (2011). 270 + v pages, $29.95. Outside the realm of most technical literature that chemical engineers might typically encounter, "Jumping the S-Curve" offers insights into how high-performing companies function. Individuals working in technology fields will find this book important to help identify top performing companies for employment. Part One of "Jumping the S-Curve" describes the characteristics of successful businesses - those that have big market insights, build technical competencies, and retain "serious talent." Chemical engineers will find Chapter 4, Worthy of Serious Talent, the most relevant since we are passionate about our chosen work. Nunes and Breene identify subject matter experts as top companies "for whom work is not a job but rather a source of personal pride (p. 78)." Such serious talent possesses not just the right skills but also the right attitude. Is your company high performing? How do you know if you're working at a high performing company? Top firms employ highly engaged people who trust management and the organization. Those that lack trust will leave the company, introducing a downward spiral in the overall competence of the organization along with a decreased ability to provide quality products and services. Top performing companies do not tolerate low quality work, even in the case of misguided loyalty, and especially not to advance a political agenda. Successful employees demonstrate skills before they are promoted through stretch goals and assignments. Teams are mutually accountable for one another and act through a "culture of honor" instead of "culture of law." Of course, chemical engineers are smart, capable, and ambitious; and therefore, difficult to manage. In Chapter 8, Nunes and Breene offer some tips on how companies can retain talent and develop individuals for lifelong careers. Most companies experience financial growth through the so-called "S-curve" over time, with slow sales early, followed by a period of accelerating revenues, and finally a flattening of growth as the product or industry matures. As companies grow, they often add hierarchy and bureaucracy to contain operational costs. Flattening growth in low and average performing companies is accompanied by decreased R&D spending and declining employee training investments that result in short-term earnings per share increases. Yet in high performing companies, recruiting and training new employees continues throughout all economic and industry cycles. Employees are given a broad range of experiences early in their careers at top performing companies and management encourages job rotations so young talent can gain diverse knowledge of the business operations. Most high performing companies have transparent and well-defined career paths and encourage a certain degree of autonomy. 3M and Google are both famous for the "time to think" policies that have led to innovations like the Post-It note and Gmail. While "Jumping the S-Curve" is definitely a business book at its heart, I would encourage chemical engineers to take a look at this easy-to-read text for insights on how top performing companies manage and grow skilled employees. See the website Jumping the S-Curve for more information about this book. How does your employer measure up to high-performer standards?

Baseball super agent Scott Boras joined Washington Post reporter Adam Kilgore and Phil Wood for a two-hour panel presented by the Smithsonian Associates at the National Museum of Natural History on Monday. In addition to addressing the Redskins name controversy — yes, really — Boras shared stories about former clients and answered a variety of questions from the panel and audience members about the business of baseball and his role in negotiating on behalf of some of the game's biggest stars.
Boras, who represents six Nationals (Danny Espinosa, Bryce Harper, Anthony Rendon, Rafael Soriano, Stephen Strasburg and Jayson Werth), recalled one of his first interactions with Nationals owner Ted Lerner, who was interested in luring one of Boras's big-name clients to the District.
"I said to him, I don't really want you to make a bid on this player," Boras said. "I don't want our relationship to begin that way because this player is not coming to D.C., because the team is not ready for him and his goal is to win and win now. But I do need you to do something, if you want my advice. I want you to really do something. And I think your entity has been doing a good job of it. I need you to do something for a couple of years, which would really benefit your franchise. And he said, ,'What's that?' And I said, 'Lose.' And boy, they did a great job of that."
Boras, who later said he advised Lerner to keep on losing without actually saying it, knew that Strasburg and Harper were the consensus No. 1 picks in the 2009 and 2010 MLB drafts and that drafting them would increase the Nationals' chances of long-term success. Sure enough, the Nationals finished with the league's worst record in 2008 and 2009, earning them the right to draft Strasburg and Harper No. 1 overall in consecutive years. The Nationals improved somewhat in 2010 and entered the 2011 draft with the No. 6 pick.
"Drafting Strasburg and Harper was not a very difficult decision for Mike Rizzo," Boras said. "But, there was a decision that they made about Rendon, because Rendon was a player who was injured. Mike Rizzo called me a month before the draft and goes, "You know who I want." And I go, "No chance, you're not getting this player. It can't happen." Because they had just had the first pick two years in a row and I think they had the sixth pick then. All of a sudden, he got a little bit nicked in a game; his ankle was a little bit swollen, nothing severe. And lo and behold, the first, second, third and fourth players were taken and Rizzo called me and goes, 'I told you. I'm getting the best player in the draft three years in a row.' And he was right."
Boras on whether he would give the Nationals a discount if Harper has a bad year heading into free agency:
"People like myself do not create markets," Boras said. "We're barometers. There are times that players who are injured, the teams are happy about it because they know that the injury's not serious and that they can go out and prospect that this player will return to performance, or, particularly in a young player, be better. When you're looking at value, it's really in the eye of the beholder. A lot of teams have gone out and signed players that were injured for a year or two, and they've brought them in and they've flowered into great successes. And then there are some instances where players who played great really never perform at those levels once they've signed a contract with a particular place. So, part of the dynamic of being a fan, and the unknowns and the mystery of the game, goes to the business of the game, which I think lends to the popularity. The surety of these things happening, it's not anything that you can say for sure will happen. And our jobs, and the the challenge of our jobs, is to make sure that those probabilities increase to a high level so that it does happen."
Boras on his relationship with Peter Angelos:
"Look, what I know of Peter Angelos – we're both lawyers, we're both Greek. The idea of it is that this guy, whenever I call him, he's always in his office, he's always working, he's always available, he always returns my calls. I can't say that he often listens to my dynamic, but the reality of it is, you give a lot of credit to the idea that in recent time, they've gone out and put together a new manager, a new general manager, a coaching staff, and this team is in first place. They're there for a lot of reasons, and how long they'll be there, I don't know, but to be in first place in the American League East…you're really doing something right. That goes with trades, drafting, signing players. I think credit where credit's due. The Orioles have done a very good job of making their franchise relevant and of interest the last couple of years. Whether or not that continues will be, I think, a big question, but in the current today, I think that Dan Duquette and Buck Showalter have really formed a force that's allowed for the development and evaluation of players that, really, when you look at the decisions the last couple of years, are some of the league's best decisions."
Boras on renaming the Redskins:
"I'm going to tell you all that I have a family bias, and that is that I have some Indian heritage in our background and we were raised on a farm, and not far from us was an Indian reservation. So, I kinda believe that that decision is not one that belongs to a team or a professional owner. I believe that decision belongs to the very tribes and such, so that they themselves can determine what is best for their children, their families, their respect, and I think that only they are the ones that really know the meaning and the definition, whether they are pro or con, of whether those names should be used or not used. I would leave that decision to the Indian Nation."

The Wedding Party
Sarah's attendants
Maid Of Honor
Billie and I have been friends since the beginning. Our parents are still next door neighbors back home in Lewistown which has made our friendship even stronger. Billie and I have been through it ALL together. After graduating high school we both decided to go to Columbia College where we truly enjoyed the college life. Since then we have been roommates, work out buddies, road trip partners, best friends, and everything in-between. I honestly don't know where I would be in my life without this girl. She is a great listener, gives wonderful advice, and is constantly pushing me to be a better person. I am so happy to have Billie as a Maid of Honor because I know she will be there for me throughout this entire wedding process and for the rest of my life.
Maid Of Honor
I am lucky enough to have TWO best friends and TWO Maids of Honor!! Jordan is like my sister, she has been there for me my whole life. I remember going to her house for one of my very first sleepovers. Just like every little girl, we talked about weddings and I knew way back then that Jordan would be my Maid of Honor. Jordan and I have had many fun nights, vacations, and long chats on the phone together. We are probably two of the few people in America that still use the US Postal system, but we LOVE to send cards, notes, and packages back and forth. No matter the distance we are still close at heart. I am really looking forward to her sharing in my special day.
Ashley is another one of the Lewistown Girls! That town didn't know what to do when all 4 of us met up to go do something. Lewistown was definitely good to us and the fun continued when Ashley joined Billie and I in Columbia. I don't see Ashley as much now that she lives in Kansas City, but we have had many conversations about how the distance doesn't change our friendship. Because when we all get back together in Lewistown, you better watch out! :)
I became friends with Kelsey way back in my days at Small Talk Daycare. I think she is the one to blame for my love of "Ice Ice Baby". I remember her and I making up our own dance moves to that song and playing it over and over again on the tape player! No wonder I know all the words :) Kelsey is one of those girls that you can go months and months without seeing, but when you get together everything picks up right where you left off. I love this about her. Even if I don't see her between now and the wedding, I know she will be a great bridesmaid and it will be exactly the same between the two of us. I can't wait for the reception, because I'm sure "Ice Ice Baby" will be on our karaoke list :)
Jessica is my cousin, but growing up were were much more like sisters. For those of you who don't know, Jessica's mom Julie and my dad Jack are twins. When Jessica and I were born we were only 10 weeks apart! We were practically inseparable when we were growing up. We had sleepovers, played school, stayed with Grandma and Grandpa, and took all kinds of amazing family vacations together. I have so many memories from those summer trips in their van. I hope when we have kids we can get together and take them to some of the awesome places that we went on our vacations. I was lucky enough to be a bridesmaid in Jessica's wedding last summer. She was a beautiful bride and the wedding was a ton of fun! I am excited that she is going to be a bridesmaid for my big day this December.
Flower Girl
Addison is the daughter of Candice and Landon Nahler and the niece of Billie Washburn. I think Addison and Logan are going to be the cutest little people in the wedding :)
Ring Bearer
I am so excited for Logan and his twin sister Addison to be our ring bearer and flower girl!
Nick's attendants
Best Man
Justin has been one of my closest friends for as long as I can remember. We started off playing soldiers when we were younger, and we both ended up being soldiers after college. No matter what group of friends I found myself hanging out with over the years, Justin has always been around. Whether it was building tree houses, trying to learn the guitar, or drinking profusely, Justin always fit in. In many ways, we are a lot alike. That said, he also has many qualities I lack, like a conscience. This makes him a perfect fit for my Best Man. No matter where this winding road called life goes, I know Justin will be right there with me, riding shotgun.
Best Man
My little brother is several years younger than me, which means not only did he have to put up with my shit as we were growing up, he was helpless to do anything about it. Needless to say, I had a lot of fun at his expense. From playing against me in a very one-sided game of dodgeball, to hanging by his underwear on a doorknob, Zach was always a good sport. Though I've been away from home a lot in the last several years, I've gotten to see hints of the man Zach will become, and I am proud to call him my brother.
When I first joined ROTC, I looked around and was dismayed to see that most of the potential officers around me were, in fact, dweebs. I was very fortunate to meet Kirk, a non-dweeb and a kindred spirit when it comes to partaking in shenanigans. While most of the cadets around us were getting a chubby over the intricacies of standing in formation, Kirk and I were always finding a way to make each other laugh. To this day, no story I have tops the 'Streaking Incident of 2008', in which Kirk and I were detained by police for being publicly intoxicated, as well as publicly naked.
The first time I met Scott, I was planning his funeral. We were in 6th grade, and he had the audacity to date my ex-girlfriend. Luckily, the heartbreak of middle school doesn't last long. In 9th grade, during a weightlifting class Scott and I had together, we ended up becoming good friends. Over the course of the years, from high school through college, we have shared many drunken nights, discussing the complexities of women, money, and life. Scott always has a wise thought for a listening ear. To this day, I consider him one of my best buds. And though he probably doesn't believe it, he was officially removed from the 'Hit List' long ago.
Nick became a huge part of my life when he started working at Apple Market with me, back when I was in high school. That job was one of those rare ones that because of the guys I worked with, I actually looked forward to going in. We did a lot of dumb shit, and we had a blast doing it. Nick is one of those genuine guys that truly cares about people, and he was there for me when I was at my lowest. He's one of the goofiest dudes I know, but that's one of the things I love about him. To this day, I can't think of a nicer guy. Plus, he's also engaged to my best girl-bro, Maggie.
Zack is my 'brother from another mother'. When we were in high school, we were inseparable. People actually began to think we were related. We'd walk around with our chests puffed out in shirts that were probably a bit too tight. We would shamelessly hit on girls in the hallways between classes. When Zack lived with my family during high school, we would go home and think of the dumbest thing we could possibly do, and then do it. We were always trying to push each other to the limit. We have both calmed down a bit in the last several years, but I don't think a man can call himself a man unless he's had that friend like Zack.

Our photo of the week comes from Montreal photographer and overall wonderful chap, Mr. Daniel Séguin. He has called this image "In Rhythm" — which is appropriate because he is capturing an iconic Montreal weekly event where travelers can literally feel the pulse of the city.
Every Sunday afternoon on the eastern side of Mount Royal Park (under the angel statue), there is a big, joyous drumming festival. It's called Tam Tams. It's an inclusive event where anyone can bring a drum and join in the rhythm. Or, if your bongos don't fit in your suitcase, you can simply shake your money-maker. We suggest bringing a picnic, checking out the various vendors and ogling at the "LARP'ers" (Live Action Role Play).
Thank you, Daniel!
Submit your Montréal pictures to our MONTRÉAL BUZZ FLICKR GROUP.

Transgender Mortality Rate
Suicide, Medical, Violence
by Laura Amato
The transgender mortality rate includes not only the suicide rate but deaths due to medical issues and violence. In a survey here combined with suicide crisis transcripts over 50% of transsexuals had at least one suicide attempt by their 20th birthday with some as young as age 7. Many had multiple attempts with one as many as 21 attempts. This is based on 78,800 suicide prevention online crises here over a five year period. These are actual numbers. Some esitmate the transgender suicide rate at between 31% to 50%.
Transgender mortality rates are difficult to estimate because families often don't report that there dead son or daughter was transgender. In addition deaths due to illegal hormone use and its complications aren't reported because they don't seek a doctor's help. Common problems are strokes, heart attacks, silicone injections and deep vein thrombosis. There are also thousands of cases of unreported violence leading to death.
Based on conversations with 9 million users and over 2 million emails I'd estimate the total Transgender mortality rate at between 60% to 70% and I'm being conservative here. This doesn't leave many of us left. Most of these deaths could be prevented with therapy and a doctor's visit. While the number of Transgendered is estimated between 1 and 3 million I feel the number is at least 3 times higher or between 8 and 10 million.

The good news for the economy - manufacturing running in top gear and job advertising at its highest level in almost a year - could be bad news for home owners, as the Reserve Bank meets today to consider interest rates.
A batch of unambiguously strong economic figures yesterday confirmed that interest rates will rise - probably in December, but possibly as early as this week.
The Bureau of Statistics said retail sales grew at the fastest pace in more than four years in the September quarter, and the ANZ Bank said newspaper job advertising rose strongly in October to hit the highest level in almost a year.
By the time 24 horses bolt at 3.10pm today, the Reserve's nine-member board will have already concluded its meeting, although it won't reveal its decision to the public until tomorrow morning.
Economists said a shock interest rate rise this week could not be ruled out, although most are betting on a rise following the Reserve's next board meeting in early December.
CommSec senior analyst Craig James said historically low interest rates could no longer be justified given Australia's "champagne economy".
"Consumers are cashed up, confident and increasingly wealthy and it is clear they are not shy about showing it," Mr James said.
"If the Reserve Bank doesn't surprise with a rate hike on Wednesday, it is likely to confirm a (higher interest rate) bias in next Monday's quarterly statement on the economy."
Other economists agreed.
"Such an economy simply doesn't require easy money, and that is what it's getting," BT Financial Group chief economist Chris Caton said.
Retail turnover increased by 0.6 per cent in September - the ninth consecutive monthly rise - lifted by the World Cup Rugby and strong spending on household furnishings, pharmaceuticals, garden supplies, flowers and watches.
Meanwhile, ANZ said the number of job advertisement posted in daily newspapers increased by 1.4 per cent in October to a weekly average of 22,021. It was the sixth increase in a row, marking the longest positive run in four years.
ANZ senior economist Melanie Hay said the figures suggested the economy was creating up to 18,000 jobs a month, enough to keep the unemployment rate around the current 13-year low of 5.8 per cent.
"It is in the more labour-intensive sectors of the economy, such as retail, construction and tourism, that activity remains strong or is likely to improve," Ms Hay said.
Strong manufacturing is also likely to keep the jobs market buoyant. A survey of 220 companies from the Australian Industry Group yesterday showed manufacturing activity surged to a 10-month high in October, although its deputy chief executive, Heather Ridout, warned that the recovering dollar could cause problems.
"It must be remembered that manufacturing activity contracted only four months ago, and any commencement of a new round of interest rate rises would add to the momentum of a rising Australian dollar, weaken our competitiveness and put the current improvement in activity at risk," Ms Ridout said.

Let's try an older dog
Here is Strauss in his prime at age 5
And here he is now, about a month and a half shy of 10 years of age
Looks like he's in Great Shape!
I bet you guys have shared some unforgettable memories! Thanks for sharing
What a handsome boy! He looks so healthy in his 10 yr old picture too! :)
Beautiful dog!

He looks pretty darn good, Jackie. :)
Thanks :)
I wish he had more muscle tone, but then I realize he's a month and a half shy of 10. He's normal. I let him exercise at his own pace and do what he wants. I keep him mobile and that keeps him happy.
Other than his color I have always liked Strauss. I would maybe like a bit more oomph to his rear. He looked/looks a little front heavy in both pictures, but this is just nit picking. He is holding up well.

I think he looks great! Especially for his age. Very balanced looking dog.
Lisa, I will admit when I see his color on any other dog, I go "Oh, God NO!" I recognize it as totally faulty and gross (haha). I'm pretty sure I can only tolerate it on him because he's my special dog.
He is a little front heavy.
Can't believe he's almost 10....cripes. UNACCEPTABLE! lol

Sold Out $1,300.00
2003 vintage is available for $3,599.00
Domaine de la Romanee Conti La Tache Grand Cru 2004
Pinot Noir from Burgundy, France
Winemaker's Notes
La Tâche 2004 is dark in color and has a lovely licorice expression typical of La Tâche. In the mouth, this wine is long and rich. A classic wine - a wine of charm and distinction; complete, profound and balanced.
Critical Acclaim
Wine Enthusiast - "Although this wine is very firm and closed at the outset, it opens—and keeps opening in the mouth—to offer great fruit flavors. It is finely balanced, very pure, combining an ethereal character with the proper feet-in-the-soil taste of great Pinot Noir. Age for 20 years, if you can bear to wait. "
International Wine Cellar - "Good bright, deep red. Wonderfully perfumed, nuanced nose offers raspberry, smoke, earth, white truffle and this vineyard's typical cocktail of Oriental spices. Compellingly silky-sweet and suave on the palate, with great aromatic lift to the red fruit, spice and mineral flavors. This offers a rare combination of high and low tones on the nose and palate. Taut and sharply focused wine, finishing with superb, palate-saturating minerally persistence and great finesse of tannins. A great 2004."
Domaine de la Romanee Conti Winery
Considered the pinnacle of Burgundy, Domaine de la Romanee-Conti produces some of the world's most revered wines from its tiny vineyards in Vosne-Romanee. Two of the Domaine's seven Grand Cru vineyards - La Romanée-Conti and La Tâche - are monopoles (appellations entirely owned by the Domaine) and unarguably the greatest vineyards in Burgundy. Richebourg, Romanee-St.-Vivant, Grands-Echezeaux, Echezeaux, and Montrachet (in Chassagne) are also Grand Cru vineyards, yielding sublime wines that are among the most highly-sought, seductive and rarest in the world. View all Domaine de la Romanee Conti Wines
About Burgundy
Burgundy is a small region, only about a fourth the size of Bordeaux. The narrow thread of vineyard land stretches from the city of Dijon to Lyon. The five main districts of Burgundy are – from North to South - Chablis, Côte d'Or, Côte Chalonnaise, Maconnais, and Beaujolais. Chablis is far removed geographically (above Dijon) and adheres to its own classifications. Beaujolais is its own region due to grape variety, vinification methods and regulations. Leaving us with the Côte d'Or, Côte Chalonnaise and Maconnais as the heart of Burgundy.
Grapes of the region are easy to remember - Pinot Noir for reds, Chardonnay for whites. Burgundy can be called home for both varietals, despite their increasing presence in every winemaking country. In this area red wines out number whites, although the quality for both is unparalleled.
A bit of History...Once owned and run by the church and nobility, the vineyards of Burgundy were seized during French Revolution and sold off piece by piece. Further separation occurred with Napoleonic Law, which ordered that inherited land be divided among children equally. These two factors put Burgundy where it is today – a myriad of vineyards and villages, each with a number of growers and producers.
NégociantsBurgundy is organized by plots of land and labeled as such. About half of Burgundy works on a négociant system. Growers of small plots sell grapes, or more often, barrels of already made wine, to négociant houses who then blend it with other wines from that region and put it under their label. While the négociant system may sound like a way to produce mass amounts of anonymous wines, that is, luckily, not the case. Wines are labeled with a sense of place, so you know what land you are getting. There are some négociant houses that are much more renowned and consistent than others, and for the most part, the system works. But times are changing. Some growers are purchasing more land and making the wine on their property, under their label, for more consistency. On the other side, négociant houses are buying up their own vineyards so they will have more control over winemaking.
Classification SystemThe classification system is similar to a pyramid. At the base of the pyramid is the most basic of the classifications, the Burgundy AC, meaning grapes can come from anywhere in the Burgundy region. Next up is a village wine, such as Côte de Beaune or Côte de Nuits, or the villages within these regions, like Givery-Chambertin or Puligny-Montrachet. The label will say Appellation Puligny-Montrachet Controlée. At the next level is the premier cru. A wine that says Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru will still be Appellation Puligny-Montrachet [premier cru] Controllée, but may include the premier cru vineyard name, such as Les Pucelles. At the tip of the pyramid are the grand cru vineyards. There are only 30 in the Côte d'Or and the name of the vineyard is the appellation name.
About France - Other regionsWhen it comes to wine, France is a classic. Classic blends, grapes and styles began in the country and they still remain. Think about it - people ask for a Burgundian style Pinot Noir, they refer to wines as Bordeaux or Rhone blends - Champagne even had to pass a law to stop international wineries from putting their region on the label of all sparkling wine.
The top regions of France are: Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne, Languedoc-Roussillon, Loire, Rhone. And these regions are so diverse! It makes sense that wine regions throughout the world try to emulate their style. Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah are no longer French varieties, but international varieties. They may not be the leader of cutting edge technology or value-priced wines, but there is no doubt that they are still producing wines of great quality and diversity.

Japan Goes for Animation in a Flash
Japan's multibillion dollar anime industry used to be dominated by a handful of major production companies. For decades, the rapid display of hand-drawn or computer-generated images superimposed on celluloid to create the illusion of animated motion was an intricate and expensive process. If you were an independent animator, you had to have a trust fund or major production company backing, or the odds of breaking in were against you.
Yet today Japan is a country of armchair animators who are shaking up the whole anime studio system. An aspiring animator with a desktop PC, some server capacity, and good working knowledge of multimedia programs such as Adobe Flash (or the Macromedia Flash and Shockwave Player programs) can generate professional animation that instantaneously can reach a global audience.
In Japan, several of these so-called low-budget "flash animators" have landed TV and DVD deals in the last five years or so, as familiarity with these Flash Web programs has improved, and affordable, high-speed broadband has become commonplace.
Not Difficult to Master
"Individual creators had few ways of getting their work seen by ordinary people, but with Flash and a broadband connection, they could put their animation out on the market in an unconventional way," says Makoto Sayama, an anime creator who organized the Japan Web Anime Convention (JAWACON) in Osaka in 2005 to provide business opportunities for independent creators.
Most of these Flash programs that arrived in the mid-1990s were initially designed to jazz up Web pages with animation and interactive graphics. Flash software programs by Adobe (ADBE) (which finalized a merger with Macromedia late last year), is a common application in most Web browsers and can be used to integrate video into Web pages, among other things. There are also Flash programs available for mobile phones and other digital devices.
With Flash, animators can create images, adjust them, and create animated motion quickly and cheaply. The software itself isn't all that hard to master, either. The arrival of this software technology and broadband has been a huge boon to Japanese Flash animators such as Ryo Ono.
Working for Peanuts
Ono, 35, spent more than a decade working in TV drama and film production in Tokyo, and became frustrated with the paltry pay animators receive in an industry dominated by TV stations, major production companies, and major film distributors. Animators can earn as little as $856 a month at most production studios, he said.
"Creators and directors have little reward," says Ono, "they provide the ideas and know-how but don't get a copyright for their work."
Ono thought his dreams of becoming a animation film director were a long shot, so he moved out of Tokyo to Shimane Prefecture, where living expenses were lower, and after a couple of years was producing animation on his personal computer with a Flash program. He also wrote the scripts and did the voice-over work.
Speed Sells
He published his first animation, Sugai-kun and Kazoku-ishi, on his own Web page in 2004. The title is a pun on the name of the U.S. funk-rock band Sly and The Family Stone. The story is about a black family living in Shimane. Within a couple of months, the site became explosively popular, pulling some 50,000 page views a day. His self-produced DVD sold 5,600 copies, which brought him $96,000 (11,200,000 yen). "I finally got an income," recalls Ono. He has had many business offers to make corporate advertisements using his anime characters by blue-chip companies such as Toshiba (TOSBF), EMI and Recruit.
A visual contents production company, DLE, decided to produce Ono's second major animation work called Eagle Talon. Japanese broadcaster TV Asahi ran the work for three months. Another animation series called Coffy the Cemetery Girl, a story about a high school girl whose body resembles the shape of an ancient burial mound or kofun, is now showing at two theaters in Tokyo and is sold on DVD.
Ono concedes that, graphically, the quality of his Flash-generated animation isn't as good as animators who have been at it for two decades, but he can turn things around quickly. "My sales point is a speedy production," he says. A 30-minute-long animation that used to take several weeks to produce can be finished in a matter of days. It's far cheaper, too. He produces an animation short called The Frogman Show that is aired on a late-night program for Japanese broadcaster TBS (Tokyo Broadcasting System), and that costs only 10% to 20% of what traditionally produced animation costs to make—and he gets to retain the copyright.
One-Man Band
Also gone is the need for the kind of incessant networking with established companies if you're hoping for a career break. With the Net, an anime artist can showcase his work as soon as it's ready, and e-mail a URL to programming producers and distributors—and also to all manner of companies and event organizers interested in using animation to sell products or draw attention to a meeting or announcement on the Web. "There is an increasing demand for Web animation in such fields," says Makoto Sayama, an anime creator who organized the JAWACOM industry event in Japan.
"Flash animation is the future shape of Japanese cartoons and animation," figures Kentaro Takemura, a critic who teaches the history of manga and anime at Tama Art University. "One individual can do everything on a low budget." And that is good news for independent animators in Japan and elsewhere who have had little control over their work.

Once again, the UTSU has proven whom it is really representing — and it's not U of T's undergraduates. There is only one word that captures the UTSU's support of the looming TA strike: gall. The UTSU purports to act in the interest of undergraduate students and yet this move suggests otherwise.UTSU president Danielle Sandhu offered her complete support when she addressed those present at the strike vote press conference; this conference was held after CUPE members voted overwhelmingly in favour of a strike, should an agreement with the university not be reached. Sandhu extended to CUPE local 3902, on our behalf, congratulations, and expressed a sense of pride and solidarity, arguing that supporting the strike is in the best interests of undergrads. However, she is supposed to be representing undergrads, who would undoubtedly suffer were a strike to happen.Even in the sunniest scenario, classes will continue undisrupted, but tutorials will be cancelled and assignments may not be marked in time. This can have an especially injurious effect on those relying on final grades for graduate or professional school applications. I doubt that those schools would be satisfied relying on my word that I am an A student. In the gloomiest of cases, we may end up like the students of York University.In 2008, York's CUPE local, which includes TAs and sessional instructors, went on strike. The strike dragged on for three months, leaving students out of class and out of luck. Many felt betrayed by the York Federation of Students (a satellite union of the Canadian Federation of Students, like the UTSU). Students were overwhelmed with work after their Reading Week, and those who depended on summer income had to struggle to make ends meet when their classes spilled into the summer break.U of T students' tuition has been paid, and most people have made plans for after graduation — plans that hinge on the timing of their graduation. Neither the UTSU nor the university will reimburse our tuition fees, and no one can give us back the time we will lose.CUPE has rolled out an advertising campaign, and the UTSU has echoed its message. There is quite a bit of talk about tutorial sizes — a serious problem, to be sure. No one will argue that a 50-student tutorial is a conducive learning environment. The only real solution, however, assuming that this were viable, would be to hire more TAs — and since they're already demanding raises and resources are scarce, I doubt you will hear CUPE pressing for more TAs to share in the pie. When push comes to shove, this will likely be the first demand to be sacrificed. Including the tutorial size issue is little more than a transparent ploy by the UTSU to justify its indefensible actions, and to drum up undergrad support for a strike which clearly pits our interests against those of CUPE.There are countless TAs and sessional instructors who are truly outstanding and deserve the best conditions. That being said, undergraduate students cannot afford and should not be forced to suffer the consequences of a strike. So why is our student government giving priority to CUPE's agenda? Some may cite the supposed long-term benefits for undergrad students who may be considering graduate studies here at U of T. But what about those who aren't? Others may claim that we must stand in solidarity with CUPE. But why should we lose time, money, and have our education and life plans disrupted? The "avoid a strike by supporting it" rationale implicit in CUPE's literature and echoed in the UTSU's justifications is nothing more than Orwellian double-speak, and U of T students are too intelligent to be duped. The UTSU is playing a dangerous game with our time, money, and education; its support of the potential strike is both grossly irresponsible and an affront to the students it is supposed to be representing.How the UTSU can continue with its preposterous claims of unity and that it works for the students is incomprehensible. If that were the case, they would oppose the strike, or at the very least they would abstain from making an official statement, let alone such a congratulatory one. The UTSU is not working for our interests, but rather against them. I am absolutely appalled, and you should be too.

KINGSTON, N.Y. -- Ulster County Executive Michael Hein has ordered flags at all county buildings to be flown at half-staff today in memory of Alphonso Sellet, an Ulster County resident who was a decorated military veteran.
Sellet, a former superintendent of the Ulster County Office Building, died on April 17 at age 91.
Sellet served in the U.S. Army during World War II and the Korean War and in the U.S. Air Force during the Vietnam War.
He was awarded the Bronze Star with Valor for his distinguished actions during World War II at the Ludendorf Bridge in Ramagen, Germany. He also was awarded a Presidential Citation and eight Battle Stars.
Additionally, he was awarded the Good Conduct Medal with Clasp, the American Defense Service Ribbon, American Theater Service Ribbon, European African Middle Eastern Service Ribbon and World War II Victory Ribbon.
Sellet was instrumental in the creation of Vietnam Veterans Day being proclaimed on March 29, 1974, and was present at the proclamation signing by President Richard Nixon.


text: My 1999 Chevy Silverado Z71 with the electronic 4wd Autotrac won't come out of 4 wheel lo. Before you ask, I know the routine... 2mph or stopped in neutral. I do need it occasionally to pull a trailer out of a snowbank, haul a buddy out of a ditch, or get out of a dicey situation where the pickup is buried up to the floorboards in mud. Last time it was stuck in 4lo, it came out by kicking the transfer case really hard a few times, but maybe that was just a coincidence. The time before that it happened, I was pulling a boat off a steep ramp. I finally got it to come out by going in forward, reverse, letting it roll in neutral, etc, all while hitting either the 4hi, 2hi, or 4auto buttons. It finally just came out. The lights on the control panel blink when I press 2hi or 4hi or 4auto but always go back to 4lo until it finally comes out. Anyone having this problem. What's wrong with it? I replaced the fluid this summer but that didn't help. Thanks

Netgear has announced the release of the new Airgo Gen3 MIMO (Multi-In, Multi-Out) chipset, the latest addition to their RangeMax wireless line. When using RangeMax 240 products on both ends, it is theoretically possible to get up to 240Mbps, though to be able to achieve that kind of speed, some serious fiber-optic technology is going to be needed. Of course, the unit is also compatible with standard 802.11b/g products, but Netgear is saying that this new device gives them up to a 50% boost in range and speed.
Your internet speed probably won't benefit from the Airgo Gen3 MIMO chipset, but it is definitely a promising solution for streaming media off of your computer without affecting other activities, like Voice-Over-IP (VOIP). Netgear claims you can stream HDTV using this thing. Reportedly hitting shelves in time for Christmas, the router and notebook card are $199 and $129 respectively. The USB 2.0 adapter should hit the market sometime next year.

There are many customizations you can add to this invitation including jewels, embossed stamped envelopes, font, colors, etc. To start with the invitation has a ruby metallic pocketfold 6 x 6 with flap. The second layer matting is metallic antique gold and the invitation itself is printed on antique ivory cardstock. My wedding theme is a vintage Moroccan Casablanca theme, so it was very difficult to tie the two themes together and took me months of playing around and searching for inspiration, so it feels great to have it done. vendors: JuJuBee Designs

Bangalore: Riding on Adam Gilchrist and Azhar Mahmood's fifties, Kings XI Punjab beat Royal Challengers Bangalore by seven wickets to keep themselves in the play-off hunt at the Chinnaswamy Stadium here on Tuesday. In pursuit of 175, Punjab got over the line in 18.1 overs to register their sixth win in 14 matches, while Bangalore's chances took a beating with their 7th defeat in 15 matches.
In pursuit of 175, Punjab suffered an early blow when Zaheer Khan, playing his first match this season, cleaned up Shaun Marsh for 8. Veterans Gilchrist and Mahmood thereafter glued to the crease. They were not overly aggressive but muscled anything loose coming their way. Gilchrist reached his first fifty this season with a six off Zaheer in the 14th over. Mahmood too reached his first fifty this season with a six off Muttiah Muralitharan in the next over.
Jaydev Unadkat succeeded in breaking the 118-run partnership in the 16th over with the Mahmood wicket for 61, but by that time the visitors were well on course for a win, needing just 33 off 28 balls. The in-form David Miller didn't stay for long as Muralitharan breached the South African's defences for two, but Gilchrist struck a few lusty blows in no time to make sure there wasn't any surprise. He remained unbeaten on 85 off 54 balls, hitting 10 fours and three sixes. Rajagopal Sathish complemented Gilchrist well with a 12* off six balls.
Earlier, after being put into bat, Bangalore lost Cheteshwar Pujara early to Parvinder Awana for 19 in the fifth over. Virat Kohli joined Chris Gayle and both got into an uncharacteristically defensive mode straight away. On a wicket posing no threats, both batsmen were ultra cautious as Bangalore scoffed 55 balls to reach their fifty.
But then all of a sudden everything changed with both batsmen hitting top gear. Fifty-three runs came between the 12th and 15th overs. Gayle hit Manpreet Gony for three successive sixes in the 15th over brighten things up a great deal for the hosts. Kohli wasn't far behind and picked up boundaries whenever opportunities presented themselves.
Awana finally broke Gayle's off-stump in two pieces in the 19th over to end the West Indian's 53-ball 77 that included four fours and six sixes. During the course of his innings, Gayle wrested back the Orange Cap from Chennai Super Kings' Michael Hussey taking his run-tally to 680 runs. Awana struck again two balls later, rattling AB de Villiers' stumps for six this time.
In an attempt to get more runs, Kohli also perished in the next over after a 43-ball 57. Lokesh Rahul then picked up two boundaries off the Mahmood over to help the hosts go past 170. Awana took 3 for 39 to be the best Punjab bowler, while Mahmood returned with 2 for 26.

Storytelling, history, antiques highlight Blanchard's fall festival
EDMORE— American tales, clowns and old-fashioned charm delighted visitors of the fourth annual Harvest Fest on Saturday in downtown Blanchard.
It is apple harvest time and storyteller Rebecca Bundy likes to connect stories to actual events.
"I weave storytelling with reading practices," said Bundy, family programming coordinator for the Chippewa District Library system. "I want to encourage parents to become role models and I give ways to tell stories that relate to history, places and events."
After Bundy's audience at the Rolland Township Library listened to the American tale of Johnny Appleseed, she explained the truths and exaggerations about Johnny, including that his real name was John Chapman. He was born Sept. 26, 1774, planted apple trees to provide food for traveling settlers and went barefoot with a pot on his head.
However, he didn't sleep in a hammock from the top of the tallest tree, couldn't talk to animals and his callused feet weren't impervious to the bite of a rattlesnake. Bundy finished by treating the group to homemade apple turnovers and smiled as she told one last story.
"I remember baking apple turnovers with my grandmother and asking when they would turnover," she said.
Other tales from the time when Blanchard was a turn-of-the-century logging camp linger in the old shops. The creaking wooden floors at Loafers Glory tell of its previous existence as a late-1800s hardware store.
A mini village of several quaint shops, Loafers Glory was established in 1986 by Alan and Jo Anne Camp and has become a popular travel destination. At Loafers Glory, guests browsed for antiques and home decor, ate lunch in the Wild Flower Tea Room, visited the Sunflower Bakery and watched a rug braider and blacksmith at work.
Other vintage items were available at Best Friend's Antiques and Art and Style. Owner Linda Lowther says each display in her shop is a work of art.
"I look for things that are unique to create a display by using a common theme or color," Lowther said. "Sometimes the first thing I buy at an estate sale or flea market gives me an idea and then I find myself gravitating toward things that go with it."
Outside the Colonial Treasures mercantile, Wally and Rachel Ewing of Fremont re-enacted pioneer life. Colonial Treasures, now owned by Jim and Martha Perkins, was built in 1865 in the logging camp of Dwightville.
After logging was completed in the 1890s, the abandoned building was rolled on logs by a team of horses to its current location about a mile away. It has housed a country store, furniture store, restaurant, post office, beauty shop, dress shop, antique store and now has returned to a country mercantile.
Leighton Chapman told the history of blacksmithing as he made a yard votive holder in a charcoal-filled forge by using a cast steel floor cone, hammer, vise, anvil and other shaping tools and a slack tub to cool the 1,500-degree steel. Chapman was assisted by Jeff Barstow, a retired engineer who teaches blacksmithing at a Boy Scout camp in Kalkaska.
"I always wanted to be a blacksmith from the time I was a small boy," said Chapman, who does blacksmithing as a hobby. "Unfortunately, you don't make a lot of money as a blacksmith."
Another local hobbyist, Jim Patrick, displayed his Do-Nothing Machine outside Time N Again consignment store. Made in Indiana by Jim's older brothers, onlookers were entertained by the machine's perpetual movement of recycled machinery and other odds-and-ends.
Jim says he would like to enter the machine in the Grand Rapids ArtPrize competition in the near future.

Need Appliance Repair Help? Ask a Technician for Answers ASAP
Good evening! Thanks for using JustAnswer.com! I was just going over your question and I have a few of my own. When you say it gets very hot, do you mean hotter than you have it set for? Also, have you self-cleaned the unit recently? Have you used any cleaners inside the oven, such as Easy Off? Has anything spilled over onto the bottom of the oven or on the elements? If you can, more info would be very helpful. Kelly

Once upon a time there was a professor who taught Constitutional law and urged students to come away from the course with respect for human rights. Ah, that was once upon a time, but now the professor is president of the United States and his office has now become a bastion of opposing human rights in this nation. A gay former Army officer, Dan Choi, was among a group of 13 protesters in November 2010 who handcuffed themselves to a White House fence in order to express their anger at the infamous, "don't ask, don't tell" military policy.
Choi was discharged from the military in 2003 for being gay. Ordinarily, people who protest at the White House, at best, face a local court and a fine. But, these people were sent to a federal court where they could get jail time. The other protesters pleaded guilty and paid fines. Choi argues he could not hear the police due to crowd noise.
The real issue is why are any of these people charged with anything. They protested, handcuffed themselves, the handcuffs were removed and they went home. Why not leave it like that?

Thoughts on Rosetta
My wife and I are expecting in August, and for a girls name, we're thinking Rosetta. We want to call her "Etta" and found Rosetta to be the most pleasant longer form of that name. Plus it gives her some options down the road (Rose, Etta, Rosie..) Also she'll be a mix of chinese / white / hispanic.
I know some people here don't like the old names, but I was wondering what you all think.
