Unseen Hemingway play finally staged in NY
By Claudia Parsons
NEW YORK (Reuters) - The first professional U.S. production of Ernest Hemingway's Spanish Civil War play "The Fifth Column" has opened in New York, 70 years after it was written, begging the question, "What took so long?"
Director Jonathan Bank says people should not assume the delay was because the play is no good.
"That's the prejudice. That's the huge hurdle that you have to get over," said Bank, artistic director of the Mint Theater Company, which specializes in reviving long-forgotten or newly discovered plays at its 100-seat, Off-Broadway theater.
"Having done a couple of dozen very good plays that people have forgotten about over the years, I've realized there just doesn't have to be a good reason a play falls out of sight," he said in an interview.
Hemingway, who died in 1961, was best known for works such as "A Farewell to Arms," "For Whom the Bell Tolls" and "The Old Man and the Sea." He wrote "The Fifth Column" in Madrid in 1937, when the city was under siege and he was staying in the Hotel Florida as a foreign correspondent.
The play is the story of foreign correspondent Philip Rawlings, who is working as a secret agent for the leftist Republican side, and a glamorous writer named Dorothy Bridges, inspired by legendary journalist Martha Gellhorn, whom Hemingway had an affair with in Madrid and later married.
Thursday's opening night was attended by some of Hemingway's relatives, including his son Patrick. He said he enjoyed the play but his father admitted he was not much of a playwright.
"You can't expect that Hemingway could sort of descend from the clouds and write a masterful play like 'Richard III' or something," Patrick Hemingway told Reuters. Continued...

I got married last year @ the age of 23 and honestly i don't feel like im missing a thing. i did the partying and drinking in my teens. So as i got into my 20s i realized that that kind of thing no longer excited me the way it once did when i was younger. I know i was ready to settle down, so that's what i did. Btw getting married in your 20s isn't something new, my grandparents got married when they were 19

Most people sabotage themselves because they aren't mindful in the moment. Let your daily actions be governed by your goals & dreams. Whenever you are making an important decision first ask if it gets you closer to your goals or farther away. If the answer is closer, pull the trigger. If it's farther away make a different choice.

All Hail Tiberius, Least Media-Savvy of the Roman Emperors
Tiberius was proclaimed Roman emperor on September 17 in AD 14, exactly 2,000 years ago.
He was also a bit idiosyncratic. "He was the least media-savvy emperor you could imagine," says curator David Saunders, who has been in charge of this bronze portrait of Tiberius which leaves us on September 22. He point to this description found in the writings of Cassius Dio:
Tiberius was a patrician of good education, but he had a most peculiar nature. He never let what he desired appear in his conversation, and what he said he wanted he usually did not desire at all. On the contrary, his words indicated the exact opposite of his real purpose; he denied all interest in what he longed for, and urged the claims of what he hated. He would exhibit anger over matters that were far from arousing his wrath, and make a show of affability where he was most vexed…In short, he thought it bad policy for the sovereign to reveal his thoughts; this was often the cause, he said, of great failures, whereas by the opposite course, far more and greater successes were attained.
Moreover, David tells us, "Tiberius's accession itself was a farrago: Tiberius sort-of feigning reluctance, the Senate bullying him, he being all, 'Well, if-I-have-to,' and in the end—according to Suetonius—saying he'll do it as long as he can retire."
Suetonius is full of great, albeit spurious, anecdotes about poor old Tiberius, David reports. "When someone addressed him as 'My Lord,' it is said, Tiberius gave warning that no such insult should ever again be thrown at him."
Happy accession, My Lord!

The following guest blog post is written by Jonny Walker, owner of Super International, which is a Creative group located in South Florida that specializes in creating progressive content for artists, brands and companies.
I was contacted to do a guest blog on The305.com by Dro a couple of weeks ago, and I was really taken aback. Not because the offer was extended, but because Dro is well aware that on any given day, on Twitter or in a daily conversation, I am likely to say things that are, though the truth (by my calculations), very controversial by societal standards. When he said, "You can talk about any subject you like" I thought, "Dro, you are one brave soul."
Thing is, there isn't just one subject I want to talk about. There are a whole array of them I'd like to touch on – hence the title. What fuels my drive is bigger than one issue or subject. Its bits and pieces of everything under the sun that pushes me to do and be better.
On January 1st 2009, a young black man by the name of Oscar Grant was killed. He was murdered by security officers in Oakland, California. He was tied up and screaming such things as "Please don't shoot me, I have a daughter." Until this day, no one can find any justification for his death. And on top of that, it was all caught on tape in front of hundreds of on lookers. The murderer has received less than a year in jail. It was really my first direct wake up call. I didn't just see Oscar there, I saw me and other young males there. It easily could have been any one us. It could easily still be any one of us at anytime.
Ironically enough it wasn't until I purchased a camera did I start seeing the world a lot clearer. The camera in essence is just a box with a hole in it that captures light. What it sees is what you get. But even luckier for me is I picked up a camera around the time when professional cameras started to integrate with video technology which really turned my world upside down and right side up again. Through photography and video I was able to capture and see a lot of things people normally wouldn't because the camera shows you everything raw, just as it is. I saw that there was a lot of responsibility being placed in my hands every time I hit the record button or camera shutter to start producing a project. I had to be more mindful of the people in front of it because their is a thin between making someone or something look great or look horrible. Easy to tell the truth or tell a lie. It helped sharpen my perspective a great deal.
Through that medium, A lot of progress was made with my company Super International. We've been able to do work with and help build a lot of brands and its been pretty amazing. From G.O.O.D Music, Maybach Music Group and Kodak, to Al dente clothing company, Sneaker Me Stupid and Ashley Outrageous. My partner Mandon Lovett (Pictured Above) and I have focused solely on bringing quality to whatever we touch. But first, it starts with maintaining quality and standards in our lives before anything else. From the way we view ourselves, to the food we eat, to the way we deal with each other and others, to how we plan and execute all of our endeavors – business and personal. The quality work we've been able to bring to the table isn't just something we do, its something we live. So every move we make has to be about growing or maintaining it. Its the only way to win.
And Its not just about us, its about the people we surround ourselves with, invest our time into and believe in. My homie Ashley Outrageous has grown into a force in hip hop in just one year and is continually growing. Amazing to see first hand. Then the Al Dente crew are building a really dope clothing brand thats bringing a lot of fun back in to street wear. Omar over at One Two Media is next up with video production and doing a lot of great stuff with a new young rapper named Sin as well as many others. My brother from another Jon The Barber is about to make his mark as well in art with his company "Dope Quotes Inc." And Ali over at SneakerMeStupid.com is bringing a lot of quality to the sneaker culture.
The rest of the decade is looking to be great and we only want to make it better. And well will. We wish everyone the best in all their endeavors. Holla at us. Lets win together. Expect to see us expand our brand into other mediums as well as outside of the country and live up to the name, Super International. Peace.

The ongoing strain of constant deployments, re-deployments takes a toll on many brave members of the military. All told, there were 4,698 soldiers who were classified as deserters, a 42.3 percent increase over the previous year when 4,399 deserted. In a rather surprising aspect of the desertion rate, about 63.6% of this year's desertions occurred from April through September. Marine desertions rates fell but it is the United States Army which has borne the greatest burden in fighting the Iraq war. Soldiers must spend a fifteen month tour in Iraq, return home for 12 months, and then are sent back for an additional 15 months. Lawrence Korb, a former member of the Pentagon during the Reagan administration notes, "It's a combination of not enough dwell time, and having to go back to the war as well as the type of people you're taking in." In an effort to boost recruiting, the Army has given waivers to 11.6 percent of new recruits.
War is not pretty and war creates tensions ordinary humans do not like to confront. There have been desertions in all wars and as long as people fight one another, some will opt out of the conflict. There is o question the strain of returning over and over is simply too much for many members of the military, particularly those with families who have been compelled to witness their civilian careers get torn to pieces.

Are All-Time Highs Supported By Target?
With shares of Target (NYSE:TGT) trading around $66, is TGT an OUTPERFORM, WAIT AND SEE or STAY AWAY? Let's analyze the stock with the relevant sections of our CHEAT SHEET investing framework:
C = Catalyst for a Stock's Movement
Target operates general merchandise stores in the United States that offer household essentials, personal care, pharmacy, electronics, sporting goods, groceries, and family apparel. The company offers most of what consumers are looking for in one store that offers a quick and convenient shopping experience. As American consumers continue to look for discounted essentials in a central location, look for Target to continue its dominance.
T = Technicals on the Stock Chart are Strong
A quick look at Target's long-term price chart sees the stock in an uptrend since its initial public offering in 1993. Of course, its run has slowed but that does not take away from the stock's amazing run. Currently, Target stock is trading near pre-crisis levels which coincide with all-time highs in the stock. A convincing break above these price levels would leave little price resistance in sight for Target.
Evaluating a price trend can be efficiently done with the use of key moving averages. In fact, the key simple moving averages can provide insight into the trend and strength of the trend. What are the key moving averages? The 50-day, 100-day, and 200-day simple moving averages. Target stock is currently trading above all of its key rising simple moving averages as well. As an added bonus, the stock is also trading above its rising 20-day simple moving averages. Target's moving averages are signaling a strong uptrend in the stock.
A relatively simple way to gain perspective into investor sentiment is through the use of the options market. More specifically, taking a look at the implied volatility and implied volatility skew levels of Target options may help determine if investors are bullish, neutral, or bearish. The implied volatility of Target options is at 17.04 percent today which coincides with a zero percentile over the last 30 trading days and zero percentile over the last 90 trading days. What does this mean? This means that investors or traders are buying a very small amount of call and put options contracts, as compared to the last 30 and 90 trading days.
The implied volatility skew of April and May put and call options is at about average. So as of today, there is an average demand from call and put buyers or average supply of call and put sellers, all neutral over the next two months. Investors are buying a minimal amount of call and put option contracts and are leaning neutral over the next two months.
E = Earnings Are Increasing Quarter-Over-Quarter
A rising stock price is often a result of increasing earnings and revenue growth rates. Of course, a seasoned company like Target is not able to post rates as large as pure growth companies and investors are aware. What do the last four quarterly earnings and revenue growth figures for Target look like? The last four quarterly earnings growth (Y-O-Y) rates have been: 2.08, 17.07, 2.91, and 5.05 percent while the last four revenue growth (Y-O-Y) rates have all been: 6.76, 3.21, 3.32, and 5.85 percent. Target has displayed great earnings and revenue growth rates over the last four quarters.
How did investors take these numbers? The last four quarterly earnings announcement reactions help gauge investor sentiment on Target's stock. The last four quarters have seen next trading session returns of -1.45, 1.72, 1.76, and 0.43 percent. The markets have been pleased with Target's earnings reports. The latest negative next trading session return has proven to be a buying opportunity as the stock has shot much higher in the days that followed.
E = Excellent Relative Performance Versus Peers and Sector
Target has been in a strong uptrend since its IPO but how has the stock done, relative to its peers and sector, year-to-date? Year-to-date, the stock is returning 12.46 percent while its competitors, Costco (NASDAQ:COST), Wal-Mart (NYSE:WMT), Dollar General (NYSE:DG), and sector are returning 1.42, 5.42, 10.81, and 7.36 percent respectively. Target has led its peers and sector by a significant margin.
Target offer the ease, prices, and convenience that a general merchandise store should. Consumers are pleased with their business model as seen in its increasing earnings and revenue growth rates. These increasing earnings and revenue growth rates have in turn fueled a rising stock price that has outperformed its peers and sector. Look for Target stock to OUTPERFORM.

Beijing • Global stocks rebounded Monday from jitters about a struggling Portuguese bank as investors looked ahead to a busy week of data releases in the U.S., China and Europe.
Oil fell but stayed above $100 after tumbling more than $2 last week amid expectations more Libyan crude will soon hit markets.
In Europe, Germany's DAX added 0.8 percent to 9,742.95 and France's CAC-40 rose 0.6 percent to 4,341.37. Britain's FTSE 100 gained 0.6 percent to 6,731.64.
On Wall Street, futures for the Dow Jones industrial average and the broader Standard & Poor's 500 both were up 0.3 percent.
Traders regained confidence following concern about the soundness of Portugal's Espirito Santo International, which reportedly missed a debt payment last week, echoing issues that spawned Europe's debt crisis. Investors appeared to have been reassured any problems would be contained.

Jealousy! Makes You Naaah-sty! In Your Face!
So when I saw my shrink on Friday she asked me about my eyebrows. Apparently if you have sparse eyebrows, like in the last 1/3 of your eyebrows, it can signify a thyroid problem and I'm on medications that can cause that so she's ordered a bunch of blood tests. She probably made up the eyebrow thing and just noticed that I've gained weight but didn't want to be rude and say so haha
Right now Wes is the only person who's awake and as soon as I'm finished this (very brief) post, I think I'm going to ask him if he wants to play WoW with me. Right now I have a mage I'm playing with his shaman, a druid that I'm playing with Madison's warlock, a monk I'm playing with Blake's monk (I'm a healer monk, he's a tank monk) and my priest who I play by myself. None of my toons are dual specced because I'm not sure how that works.
I've been listening to a LOT of Die Antwoord. Mostly $O$ because I think it's a better album as a whole than Ten$ion, although "Fatty Boom Boom" is probably my favourite song right now. I really hope these guys come to Toronto and that the show's all ages so Madison can go. There's a lip syncing contest at school next week for house points and Madison and her friends are doing an edited version of "Fatty Boom Boom". I think today she wants me to bleach her hair out and this breaks my heart because her hair is so fucking beautiful au naturel. But she wants turquoise hair for Xmas so that's what she's getting. Yolandi of Die Antwoord has bleach blonde hair, so that's why we're bleaching it early.
Anyway, that's all I really have to post about. I'm gonna go bug Wes to play WoW with me now. Peace oot.

Here is a cheaper meter by Bosch for only $82.77 Also sold on Amazon.com
Octopart lists one supplier… [ http://octopart.com/search?q=AXK6F10547YG ] but they appear to be out of stock.
I've used both the SiRF II [ http://www.sparkfun.com/commerce/product_info.php?products_id=578 ] sold by Sparkfun and a uBlox and the uBlox is by far the better module. You can drive down the street and tell what side of the road you are on in Google earth. The SiRF on the other hand is all over the map, you would think I was riding the krazy coaster at a theme park when I was drving a stright line on a flat lot.
No public wish lists :(

Untitled - Poem by Grace Llöyd
The first time I saw you
My heart skipped a beat
Although it would cause controversy
You I'd like to meet
Your eyes of piercing splendour
Your features fine and grand
Your look is warm and tender
Am I worthy to hold your hand?
Now that I have seen you
I will never be the same
I don't know what to feel
Love is such a difficult game
The rules are so confusing
When there's strict boundaries to apply
I don; t want to do the choosing
Instead I look up to the sky
I hope to find some guidance
On the right path to take
If only I had more confidence
It would be an easier decision to make
Relationships or parent?
Both I cannot be without
But one I need to sacrifice
When my choice is out

Everyone remembers Nov. 22, 1963, differently.
Some were in classrooms as children when the news that President John F. Kennedy, the 35th president of the United States of America, was assassinated as he rode through a motorcade in Dealey Plaza in Dallas as part of a five-city campaign tour through Texas. It was broadcast over school announcement systems, some area schools even playing the radio or TV broadcast.
Crowds of people lined the streets to get a glimpse of Kennedy and first lady Jackie Kennedy as their motorcade drove through Dealey Plaza around 12:30 p.m. Both the president and Texas Gov. John Connally, who was seated in front of him, were shot.
Connally would later recover from the incident, but Kennedy, who was rushed to the hospital, was pronounced dead within 30 minutes of the shooting.
It was shortly thereafter that Lee Harvey Oswald was arrested for the assassination.
Some were doing normal, everyday tasks such as ironing the laundry; others found themselves in locations such as the hospital or at their military stations.
One thing is certain: Though everyone remembers the date differently, everyone alive at the time, seemingly, remembers it.
Many remember the day Kennedy visited Indiana during his 1960 presidential campaign on Oct. 15. Many have photos of the occasion and have told their children and their children's children the memory of his visit.
"I was at the front of the crowd assembled at the old Indiana courthouse," said Janice Dembosky, of Home. "When Mr. Kennedy leaned down to shake hands with people, including me, he gave me the poppy from his lapel because I had asked him for it."
Dembosky, who still has the poppy as well as a picture her Indiana University of Pennsylvania roommates took of her with it, charged students 5 cents admission to visit her room to see it.
"That was the backdrop for me personally on the terrible day when he was assassinated," she said, explaining that the news came over the intercom in her structural linguistics class.
"As I walked through the halls and the campus, students and faculty everywhere were standing in shocked silence … many sobbing uncontrollably. Our beautiful, young president, so full of hope and promise, was dead."
The lapel poppy made an impact on more than just Dembosky. A teenager at the time, Janis K. (Salley) Dunbar, was chosen from Heilwood Township to be a "Kennedy Girl" during the campaign visit to Indiana.
"We were adorned in hats, banners and campaign buttons, and were told to pass out pamphlets to those witnessing this event," Dunbar said.
"I remember how envious I was when Kennedy removed a poppy from his lapel and handed it to a girl (Dembosky) standing in front."
Retired Indiana businessman Carson Greene Jr. was a student in Oak Hill, W.Va., when Kennedy came to the school to speak while doing his West Virginia campaign in 1960. He remembers the future president emerging from the right side of the gymnasium in a dark, buttoned business suit, using his right hand to brush back his hair.
After his speech, the students were invited to go to the floor to meet the Massachusetts senator.
"My high school sweetheart and, now, my wife and I were fortunate to get right beside the senator," he said. "His staff passed out tri-fold glossy brochures with his profile as his picture. After I was given the brochure, I shook his hand and asked him if he would sign the brochure, which he did. I said thank you and he said, 'You are welcome. What grade are you in?'"
Little did Greene realize, he said, that on that day he met a man who would go down in history.
"As a 20-year-old Navy Airman stationed at Andrews Air Force Base in Washington, D.C., in 1963, I had a front-row view as President Kennedy's body was returned from Dallas," said Tom Wagner, formerly of Indiana and Homer City. "Jackie Kennedy, still covered in the president's blood, was less than 30 feet away from me as she entered the ambulance."
The veteran, who now resides in Henderson, Nev., remembers Jackie trying to open the ambulance door only to find it locked, her husband's body inside. New President Lyndon B. Johnson, Wagner said, gave the crowd in D.C. a short speech.
"The only thing I remember from his speech was when he said, 'I ask for your help and God's.'"
George Barto, of Blairsville, was at Fort Jackson, S.C., for basic training when he heard the news.
"On the day of the shooting, I was the barracks guard for the day while everybody was at the rifle range," Barto said. "The first sergeant came in and asked if I had a radio."
He didn't have one.
Barto said that the sergeant told him the news of Kennedy's death and the whole post went on alert.
Others have items in their homes that still remind them of the day. Bonnie Wiggins, of Indiana, was waiting to have her 10-month-old son's photo taken at Montgomery Ward on Philadelphia Street when the news was broadcast on television.
"I was numb, but waited and had the photo done," she said. "That photo hangs in our home, and every time I see it I remember. There's still emotion after 50 years."
Even those who were young children at the time can recall the sense of grief that came over them as the news of the 46-year-old president's death spread across the nation.
"I was 4 years old and living on Water Street," said Ruth Milner, who still resides in Indiana. "I remember my parents glued to the television set. As a 4-year-old, I felt sorriest for John Jr., and cried when I saw him salute his father's casket."
As a 16-year-old in California, Janice Reichert's mother told her to save the newspapers following the president's death because someday she could look back on them. To this day, she's saved copies of the Los Angeles Times, the San Francisco Examiner and the Fresno Bee, as well as a copy of Life Magazine, a special edition released following the assassination that cost 50 cents at the time.
Working for the Federal Aviation Agency in downtown Washington, D.C., Emily (Bistok) Fister, now of Clymer, was in the office when, all of a sudden, she said, phones started ringing off the hook.
Trying to get around a confused and shocked D.C. was an experience of its own, she explained, saying that she couldn't get to her apartment because of the crowds — crowds that were large but silent.
On Monday, Nov. 25, 1963, Fister attended the funeral of John F. Kennedy.
"Several of us went and stood on the Arlington Bridge and had a front-row seat to see the funeral procession heading to Arlington National Cemetery," she said, describing the limo with its dark, tinted windows and the scene of Secret Service patrols everywhere.
"One limo in particular stopped in front of us," she said, "and the Secret Service opened the door and we saw Mamie Eisenhower." Fister does not know why they opened the door.
"It was such a sad day in my life and all around me, especially when President Kennedy's casket, horse-drawn and draped with the American flag, passed by us. It brought us all to tears.
"I forget some details, but I can even remember what I wore that day — a long, wool, green coat, black boots and gloves. Those couple of days changed history in many ways."
"This was a day that those of us who grew up in the 1960s lost our innocence," said Greene.

Demand is up; supply is down. Not talking about the markets here, or the hottest toy. This is the problem afflicting the nation's charities.
The recession continues to take its toll, with more people in need. They include individuals and families who had always been able to take care of themselves, but are now unemployed for two years or more.
That same recession has taken a toll on charitable giving. Last year, 51 percent of charities reported a decline in giving -- which forced them to cut budgets and staff. Now, the Nonprofit Research Collaborative's latest survey finds that giving is edging up -- but still nowhere near what it was a few years ago, and nowhere near keeping up with rising demand for services.
That's where you and I come in. Consider what an extra toy or winter jacket could mean to a local family in need. Because this is a personal finance column, let me remind you of the rules for making charitable contributions tax-deductible.
-- Always get a receipt from the charity. Keep these paper receipts in a file for use next April when you file and to substantiate your deductions in case of a future IRS audit. And you should copy your canceled checks, or keep bank or credit card records, or payroll receipts, as well.
-- Some appraisals needed. If the clothing or household goods you donate is worth more than $500, the charity must note the "fair value" on the receipt. If the contribution is valued at more than $5,000, a qualified appraisal of the property is required. Special rules apply to donated vehicles.
-- Timing is everything. If you make a contribution by check, it is considered delivered on the date mailed and must be deducted in the year of mailing. Credit card charges are deductible in the year the charge is made. Pledges are not deductible until payment is made.
-- File for a deduction. If you want to deduct your contribution, you must file form 1040 and itemize deductions on Schedule A.
-- Reporting required for gifts over $500. If you made a gift, or gifts, of non-cash property worth more than $500, you must file IRS Form 8283.
-- Thanks, but your services aren't deductible. If you donate services, only your out-of-pocket expenses are deductible.
-- Get valuation for fundraising events. If you bought a ticket to a fundraiser (not political), the organization will give you written confirmation of the value of your contribution. Likely only 80 percent of the ticket payment is deductible.
This is not only the season of giving, it's the season of scamming. Sad but true. So check out any organization claiming to be a charity. You can easily do that at CharityNavigator.org, which tracks and rates the performance 50l(c) charities, based on the forms they must file with the government. This allows you to make sure your money is going to a worthy cause that will spend your donation on good works, and not on administrative expenses.
Here's a last thought on the subject of charity: It's not all about the tax deduction.
There are many people around you who need help -- but they're not registered charities, so you can't get a deduction for writing a check to your elderly aunt to pay her heating bill for the winter or to your adult child to help pay down student loans. You don't get a deduction for dropping coins in the Salvation Army bucket or giving the taxi driver an extra tip this holiday season.
You don't have to be "rich" to be charitable. As novelist Jack London once wrote: "A bone to the dog is not charity. Charity is the bone shared with the dog, when you are just as hungry as the dog."
So use these coming weeks to re-think your definition of "charity" -- and to open your eyes to the need around you. If there's anything we've learned, it's that government does not do a good job of "sharing" our money. This is something we can do for ourselves -- with far less "administrative costs" and a far greater sense of personal satisfaction.

Visual Collaboration – A Future Of Work Trend
Cloud services are enabling team members to simultaneously edit, comment upon and review an ever-growing variety of assets.
New technological tools are giving workers the ability to excel productivity and workflow on a wide array of projects. In 2012, 80% of new commercial enterprise apps will be deployed on cloud platforms. How will capitalizing on cloud-based services enhance the future of the workplace?
Powerful cloud-based software programs have progressed to the point that users can now collaborate on a wide array of projects ranging from simple document building to sophisticated engineering schematics that need input from massive number of people. More democratic and intuitive visual interfaces can transcend language and skill level, allowing anyone regardless of background or discipline to contribute to a project. At the same time, this more democratic workflow has necessitated the creation of more sophisticated project management systems that allow large numbers of users to work on projects simultaneously.
David Armano of Edelman Digital says:
I feel there's a bit of a triangulation around having a shared work- space or a shared whiteboard that is more functional and capable of evolving to reflect the work people are trying to get done. These are reflecting what is happening on the iPad where you can really have a shared space that is elegant, simple to use, completely open to multimedia and unlimited in its space and size.
Below we've higlighted two examples of the Visual Collaboration trend:
Company Creates Google Docs For Engineering And Design
Public Noticeboard Lets Everyone Share And Discuss Ideas Virtually
- Intuitive interfaces enable greater focus and deeper connections enabling connections between workers that can foster offline collaboration, adding efficiency to the process.
- Workers are able to use simple to understand tools to interact with peers and measure engagement and success metrics.

Murphy's law rules in Nova Scotia
- Updated: February 12, 2014
It came right down to the wire in the Nova Scotia men's provincial Tankard playdowns, Feb. 4-9 at the Halifax Curling Club. But, when the rocks came to a rest in the 10thend of the championship final, Jamie Murphy was left with three counters in the rings to defeat Mark Dacey by a 12-8 score.
The emotional victory presented Murphy with a second opportunity to compete in the Canadian men's curling championship, March 1-9 at the 2014 Tim Hortons Brier, presented by SecurTek.
Murphy, who represented Nova Scotia at the 2012 Tim Hortons Brier, will lead teammates Jordan Pinder, Mike Bardsley and Donald McDermaid into the Interior Savings Centre in Kamloops.
The final showdown against Dacey – a six-time competitor at the national championship and winner of the 2004 Tankard – saw Murphy jump into a four-point lead after the first end.
The Dacey squad battled back, cutting the deficit to just one heading into the final frame. But with the last stone of the game, and the championship on the line, Murphy cracked a double to score three and seal the victory.

Florida Tomatoes Declared "Tastiest In Years" -- By The Florida Tomato Marketers
Photo of last year's presumably inferior crop
Lee Klein
The Florida Tomato Committee is touting the upcoming crop as "the best tasting in years". The marketing organization for tomato growers estimates that 80 percent of the winter crop was wiped out this past year. To date this season, Florida tomato growers have packed 52 percent of the total packed last year during same time period. The bulk of Florida's tomato shipments are now coming from the Palmetto-Ruskin growing region where plants were set in February and March, after the worst of the freeze conditions passed.
"The quality is excellent and the flavor is absolutely phenomenal - best in years," said Reggie Brown, manager of the Florida Tomato Committee. "We want our neighbors throughout the southeast and the rest of the country to know that we are back."
With almost every southern county in the state cultivating tomatoes, Florida produces virtually all the fresh-market, field-grown tomatoes in the U.S. from October through June each year, and accounts for about 50 percent of all fresh tomatoes produced domestically.
In related news, The Florida Avocado Association is declaring this year's avocado crop as the best in years, the Florida Grapefruit Compendium swears that 2010 will be a banner year for citrus, The Florida Jackfruit Union predicts bigger flavors in the current crop, The Florida Couch Potato Co-Op insists that eating stuff while watching TV will never taste better, and the Florida Pot Growers Group also had something to say along those lines, but they can't remember.

Past offensive and into pointless and wrong.
Plot Summary:In Santa Monica, a woman becomes alarmingly concerned over her fiancé's unnaturally close relationship with his teenage daughter. In Westwood, a sexual act turns into a psychological obsession for a young woman. In West Hollywood, a gay couple buys a young daughter and attempts to mold her to fit their lifestyle. In Holmby Hills, maladjusted kids and their equally maladjusted mother play murderous games. In Sherman Oaks, a rape victim faces her violator. In these five stories, one thing is clear, everything is taken to extremes in California.

Daniel Scott catches up with old acquaintances at Hong Kong Disneyland.
Since opening in 2005, Hong Kong Disneyland has had a staggering 31 million visitors. Yet I doubt many of those entering its grounds are as reluctant and grouchy as me.
We have been at the theme park in Hong Kong's broth-like humidity for about an hour when I have a meltdown. It comes after we are almost run over by a stampede of excited guests when the Disneyland gates open at 10am; after a 40-minute wait to board the train that travels the park's perimeter; and after disembarking at Fantasyland, at the opposite side of the park, only to queue for another 30 minutes for the chance to ride prancing horses on the Cinderella Carousel.
No matter how much I tell myself that we are here for my daughters - Mila, 4, and Freya, 2 - and that Disneyland provides them with a perfect interlude on our journey to Europe, I can't help feeling gruff.
I swear that if that cast member - one of 5000 staff at the park - dressed as Mickey Mouse comes near me, I'll do something regrettable with my daughters' fairy floss. I grit my teeth, ignore cries of "We want to go to Sleeping Beauty Castle", and frogmarch my family to some glittery towers and minarets, where we join a blessedly short queue.
Then, from speakers mounted at the ride, I hear a familiar song:
"It's a world of laughter, a world of tears
It's a world of hope, it's a world of fear
There's so much that we share
That it's time we're aware
It's a small world after all."
I'm transported back to a day 30 years ago when, as a sulky teenager, I was dragged to Disneyland in Anaheim, California, by an overenthusiastic host. I was just as determined then not to enjoy myself, but the moment I stepped aboard the US park's It's a Small World ride, with its schmaltzy representation of the many faces of our planet, the magic of Disney somehow reached inside the attitudinal adolescent to uncover an enchanted child.
Decades later, aboard the "happiest cruise that ever sailed", I have a similar epiphany: there are some places - Wiggles concerts, Disneylands, Santa's grotto - that I must willingly enter because I'm a dad. So as we progress through Hong Kong Disneyland's regions of the world on a water-borne boat - with its representations of Eskimos fishing, pink giraffes in Africa and gawky kangaroos in Australia - I gradually shed my cynicism.
Then I begin to enjoy myself. On go the rose-tinted 3D glasses to watch Mickey's PhilharMagic adventure; I delight in a journey through the Hundred Acre Wood with Winnie the Pooh; and I even smirk at a Mickey character strolling down the park's Main Street, USA.
If we didn't have a flight to London to catch, we would stay at Disneyland well beyond dusk. Our young children are not quite ready for the roller-coaster rides of Tomorrowland or Toy Story Land so we spend the last hours of our visit at Adventureland, taking a jungle-style cruise past bathing animatronic elephants and yawning hippos before attending a musical based on The Lion King.
The show's acrobatics and dancing, elaborate costumes and familiar songs (by sirs Elton John and Tim Rice) leave the biggest impression on the family. Indeed, it remains my daughters' abiding memory of our eight-week sojourn in Europe.
Before we leave Hong Kong, however, we slip back to our accommodation at the Regal Airport Hotel, where the children rest while my wife and I indulge in massages at the hotel's OM spa. The Regal is remarkably quiet for an airport hotel, yet it couldn't be more convenient for stopovers as it's just a five-minute walk from the passenger terminal via an airconditioned link bridge. Even beyond the confines of Disneyland, it's a small world after all.
