IRS Releases Form to Help Small Businesses Claim New Health Care Tax Credit
IRS Also Announces How Tax-Exempt Organizations Will Claim Credit
IR-2010-96 Sept. 7, 2010
WASHINGTON –– The Internal Revenue Service today released a draft version of the form that small businesses and tax-exempt organizations will use to calculate the small business health care tax credit when they file income tax returns next year. The IRS also announced how eligible tax-exempt organizations –– which do not generally file income tax returns –– will claim the credit during the 2011 filing season.
The IRS has posted
a draft of Form 8941
on IRS.gov. Both small businesses and tax-exempt organizations will use the form to calculate the credit. A small business will then include the amount of the credit as part of the general business credit on its income tax return.
Tax-exempt organizations will instead claim the small business health care tax credit on a revised Form 990-T. The Form 990-T is currently used by tax-exempt organizations to report and pay the tax on unrelated business income. Form 990-T will be revised for the 2011 filing season to enable eligible tax-exempt organizations –– even those that owe no tax on unrelated business income –– also to claim the small business health care tax credit.
The final version of Form 8941 and its instructions will be available later this year.
The small business health care tax credit was included in the Affordable Care Act signed by the President in March and is effective this year. The credit is designed to encourage small employers to offer health insurance coverage for the first time or maintain coverage they already have.
In 2010, the credit is generally available to small employers that contribute an amount equivalent to at least half the cost of single coverage towards buying health insurance for their employees. The credit is specifically targeted to help small businesses and tax-exempt organizations that primarily employ moderate- and lower-income workers.
For tax years 2010 to 2013, the maximum credit is 35 percent of premiums paid by eligible small business employers and 25 percent of premiums paid by eligible employers that are tax-exempt organizations. Beginning in 2014, the maximum tax credit will go up to 50 percent of premiums paid by eligible small business employers and 35 percent of premiums paid by eligible, tax-exempt organizations for two years. The maximum credit goes to smaller employers –– those with 10 or fewer full-time equivalent (FTE) employees –– paying annual average wages of $25,000 or less.
The credit is completely phased out for employers that have 25 FTEs or more or that pay average wages of $50,000 per year or more. Because the eligibility rules are based in part on the number of FTEs, and not simply the number of employees, businesses that use part-time help may qualify even if they employ more than 25 individuals.

IRS Announcements
New Online Registration System for Paid Tax Return Preparers Is Now Available
Additional Information from
Filomena Trujillo-Mealy, Sr. Stakeholder Liaison
Dear Practitioner:
A Few moments ago, I issued a Press Release announcing that the PTIN Registration Database is now available. I also indicated the importance of reading the Press Release and all the attachments because there is a great deal of information. For example, if you encounter any difficulty with the database then you should contact the the PTIN Helpline at 1-877-613-PTIN (7846) as the release indicates.
In addition, the Press Release also has a link to updated FAQs, that you should review before completing the process explaining how a prior PTIN can be reissued based on whether a match is located during the authentication process.
Finally, I also included a couple of other attachments, alerting you to the fact that as part of the IRS outreach effort, a letter is being sent to the 1 million or more preparers who currently have a PTIN. A copy of this letter and the attached brochure will be part of the mailing that will be staggered over an eight week period beginning beginning 10/13 and ending 12/1.
Finally, I encourage you you to use the PTIN hotline with your inquiries because those employees have been trained to handle those types of inquiries.

Complications including medical, wound, and major surgical all significantly predict readmission
FRIDAY, Sept. 6 (HealthDay News) -- Postoperative complications significantly predict readmission following plastic surgery, according to a study published in the September issue of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery.
John P. Fischer, M.D., from University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia, and colleagues used data from the 2011 American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program databases to identify 10,669 patients who underwent primary plastic surgery procedures. Comorbidities, laboratory values, and intraoperative details were assessed.
The researchers observed a 4.5 percent readmission rate. The average age of patients was 49.5 years, 32.2 percent were obese, 15.2 percent were smokers, and 81.7 percent were women. Elective/cosmetic breast (23.4 percent), implant breast reconstruction (16.5 percent), revision breast procedures (14.9 percent), hand operations (9.7 percent), and body contouring (5.9 percent) were the most commonly performed procedures. The wound complication rate and the medical complication rate were 4.6 and 4.9 percent, respectively. Any postoperative complication occurred in 10.9 percent of patients, with 4.8 percent of these defined as major surgical complications. Readmission was significantly independently associated with risk factors that included procedure type; obesity; anemia; and medical, major surgical, and wound complications.
"Patients experiencing postoperative surgical complications were six times more likely to be readmitted," the authors write.

The award for a healthcare communication campaign was intended to recognise the potential benefits of large scale communication to educate and improve health at population levels. The judges wanted to see campaigns founded on solid evidence that were balanced and accurate, and that had the potential to change the way people think about an important issue. Raising awareness of an illness or condition was not enough—the campaign should improve public understanding of health.
The shortlisted candidates met all of these criteria, and showed imaginative and effective methods of communication, suitable for the intended audience.

Can someone recommend a Japanese Curry Restaurant?
You should check out Edo High Street (aka, Sawtelle Blvd.): see a previous post ? ! :
you have probably noticed the thread below about Duck's Spaghetti and Curry
...in which I made much the same query. good things have been said about this place in the past, and I might just make the trip soon to check it out. (although I wish I could get some recent positive feedback...)
I like the curry at Blue Marlin on Sawtelle.
Blue Marlin
2121 Sawtelle Blvd
(310) 445-2522
It's a little sweet (I think maybe they use apples) & a little spicy, and they serve it piping hot, the way it should be. Served in a metal platter. There are lots of configurations -- pork katsu, chicken katsu, even with an omelette on top. There are also plenty of non-curry dishes that are typical Japanese takes on western food, including their famous uni spaghetti!
(By the way, I like Blue Marlin much better than their neighbor Hurry Curry. Their sauce was bland/no depth.)
If you are in the valley near CSUN, go to E&E Cafe. They serve my favorite japanese curry. I prefer it over Hurry Curry and Curry House by far. There is quite a E&E following with all the Japanese students at CSUN.
Unlike the bigger curry chains, E&E makes their curry "homestyle" from scratch. The curry is thicker and more stewy at E&E. I feel like Curry House and Hurry Curry's curry tastes like something you can make at home with those curry blocks you can buy at the market. This is not the case at E&E.
I like ordering the curry at 6 spiciness level. It's not all that spicy. Some people who order it at a lower level find it bland and really miss out on the subtle quality of the curry.
E&E also has lunch specials and their iced green tea as well as their macha floats are excellent.
The Blue Marlins curry was way to sweet for me. Tasted like it should be served over
ice cream. Sawtelle Kitchen has the best curry that I have had in L.A. They cook the curry sauce for many hours and never cut corners. Try it you will love it.
re: loudenuff
While I haven't tried Blue Marlin's curry, I did really like the curry at Sawtelle Kitchen. You would expect decent and homemade curry at these yoshoku spots. I'd expect less at places that have more varied items on the menu. Another place that's quite good and homemade is Bistro Laramie in Torrance/Gardena.

Flowers in Glass bottles
Indoor Tulips . . . Step 1 - Fill a glass container about 1/3 of the way with glass marbles or decorative rocks. Clear glass will enable you to watch the roots develop . . . Step 2 - Set the tulip bulb on top of the marbles or stones; pointed end UP. Add a few more marbles or rocks so that the tulip bulb is surrounded but not covered (think support). . .Step 3 - Pour fresh water into the container. The water shouldnt touch the bulb, but it should be very close, so that the roots will grow

The Message (MSG)
17 1-3 A Message concerning Damascus:
"Watch this: Damascus undone as a city,
a pile of dust and rubble!
Her towns emptied of people.
The sheep and goats will move in
And take over the towns
as if they owned them—which they will!
Not a sign of a fort is left in Ephraim,
not a trace of government left in Damascus.
What's left of Aram?
The same as what's left of Israel—not much."
Decree of God-of-the-Angel-Armies.
4-6 "The Day is coming when Jacob's robust splendor goes pale
and his well-fed body turns skinny.
The country will be left empty, picked clean
as a field harvested by field hands.
She'll be like a few stalks of barley left standing
in the lush Valley of Rephaim after harvest,
Or like the couple of ripe olives overlooked
in the top of the olive tree,
Or the four or five apples
that the pickers couldn't reach in the orchard."
Decree of the God of Israel.
7-8 Yes, the Day is coming when people will notice The One Who Made Them, take a long hard look at The Holy of Israel. They'll lose interest in all the stuff they've made—altars and monuments and rituals, their homemade, handmade religion—however impressive it is.
9 And yes, the Day is coming when their fortress cities will be abandoned—the very same cities that the Hivites and Amorites abandoned when Israel invaded! And the country will be empty, desolate.
10-11 And why? Because you have forgotten God-Your-Salvation,
not remembered your Rock-of-Refuge.
And so, even though you are very religious,
planting all sorts of bushes and herbs and trees
to honor and influence your fertility gods,
And even though you make them grow so well,
bursting with buds and sprouts and blossoms,
Nothing will come of them. Instead of a harvest
you'll get nothing but grief and pain, pain, pain.
12-13 Oh my! Thunder! A thundering herd of people!
Thunder like the crashing of ocean waves!
Nations roaring, roaring,
like the roar of a massive waterfall,
Roaring like a deafening Niagara!
But God will silence them with a word,
And then he'll blow them away like dead leaves off a tree,
like down from a thistle.
14 At bedtime, terror fills the air.
By morning it's gone—not a sign of it anywhere!
This is what happens to those who would ruin us,
this is the fate of those out to get us.

More Questions
My medicine seems much cheaper online. The website says that it can do this because the pills come from India. Why can't my pharmacy offer that as well?
The chances are that the "Indian" medicine is not licensed for use in your country. In Europe, medicines are strictly licensed and regulated, to protect you and your health. You know how it is produced, stored and dispensed. Stay safe!
I pay for my medicine and bulk-buying seems like a great deal! Is it?
In Europe, it is illegal to offer bulk discounts on prescription medicines. If your online "pharmacy" is breaking that law, the chances are it won't stop there. Check our advice on how to stay safe online.
I am afraid to go to the doctor because I don't think he would prescribe the medicine that I think I need. Why shouldn't I just go online, it's so discreet?
Obviously we can't know what your medical condition is but you should be aware that many quite serious illnesses can go undiagnosed (and therefore untreated) if you self-medicate to treat just the symptoms. For example, erectile problems are known to be an early indicator of cardiovascular disease and Diabetes. Your doctor is the person best placed to advise and, together with you, decide on the best treatment for you. The last thing you need to be is afraid.

A social media platform helps brands connect with consumers - and turn out inspirational and viral consumer-generated marketing materials.
Presenting your brand to an online community and the individual users within it is a bit like meeting, for the first time, your soon-to-be spouse's best friend. If you don't make a good impression with one, your future probably won't be too bright with the other. For this reason successful online community marketing takes value-based content, authenticity, and respect.
How wonderful would be, then, to find a digital marketing opportunity that affords the ability to blend all three? Marketers are drawn to communities that boast a loyal group of users because there's a chance that loyalty will rub off on their brands, and the same is true of marketing campaigns that illustrate a devotion to the customer's point of view. Introduce such powerful sentiments as dedication and respect - whether on the part of the consumer who loves your brand or your brand in the way that it deals with the consumer - and you have yourself a recipe for a lasting relationship.
As a social media platform that invites consumers to participate in the creation of digital content, Tongal gives its brand partners a chance to demonstrate their dedication to receiving consumer feedback. What do they gain in return? Marketing materials so unique that they go viral. Such was the case with one of the site's most recent campaigns for the Duck Tape brand.
Two weeks ago a consumer-generated video created through Tongal ranked second on the AdAge Viral Video Chart with over two million views across the Web – just a few days after being distributed publicly.
But this Tron-themed video for the Duck brand wouldn't exist without a great community of consumers.
"Brands now are developing their own networks or working with existing communities through social networking, and there's all this consumer intelligence around them," says James DeJulio, co-founder and president of Tongal. "Give people a voice and a chance to participate and you can leverage consumer insight to pull your marketing up, rather than try to push it down." In other words, the Tongal "micro community" allows brands to learn exactly what consumers want from them instead of formulating their ideas in a closed room and requiring consumers to follow along.
Brands can use Tongal to introduce their product to new users - those Tongal users who have participated in projects in the past - but also involve their most loyal fans. Most brands promote their projects through social sites like Facebook, Twitter, and wherever else they have an existing presence. While on average a project has a foundation of users 65 percent of which has participated with Tongal before, popular brands and those with consumer equity can attract 50 percent new users based on loyalty alone.
What's so interesting about this model as it relates to community marketing is the collective mindset that's involved. Tongal participants work toward a common goal: creating the best possible final product. Most projects involve several rounds of submissions, with a winning idea being chosen in the concept stage that other consumers must then use as the basis of their video. Instead of being pitted directly against one another, they are required to work together and build off what others have already done. "They're willing to co-create to make the ideas better," DeJulio says. "There's an enormous amount of good will that comes along with that."
And that good will, in theory, reflects directly on the brand responsible for bringing those consumers together. Besides offering cash prizes the Tongal model provides participants with personal exposure, the likes of which stands to up their cool factor and even further (or launch) their professional careers. In the process consumers are spending an inordinate amount of time interacting with the brands; the average time on a brand's Tongal page is 2.5 to 3.5 minutes.
For a brand like Duck Tape, an online community of creative consumers willing to help it market its products is an invaluable resource. It's also a trend that we'll surely be seeing more of as services like Tongal and competitor Current TV, with its VCAM (Viewer Created Advertising Message) program, continue to emphasize its importance through high-profile campaigns. They generate marketing materials, but they also incite action, interaction, and excitement. The advertising, and the brand associated with it, becomes a stimulus for conversation in a way that extends beyond a project contest, all the while engendering the true notion that the brand is genuinely excited to hear it. Without a population of active consumers, this kind of wildfire couldn't exist.
And so the lure of online communities continues.

By now, as the show itself predicted, the key details of Black Mirror's deeply disquieting first episode have been discussed at length and publicised in the most base and unsubtle way imaginable by Channel 4. The upside is that gives us a free pass to acknowledge the programme as partly shock tactics (how many people watched the first episode because of the lurid previews circulating online?) and partly cultural comment and discuss the merits of the show as a coherent whole. That Black Mirror seems to have anticipated its own reception is reason enough for optimism for the remaining two episodes. SPOILERS BENEATH.
Anyway, the first instalment of what is being compared to The Twilight Zone but in execution is far closer to the nerve, involves the kidnapping of beloved Princess Susannah, held hostage by a man who turns out to be an art-prankster who demands that the Prime Minister becomes the centre of the largest television event since the Beijing Olympics.
What follows is equal measures Spooks, The Thick of It minus all the fun, Nathan Barley and Brooker's intense mistrust of the general public. Fran Singh raises a very fair point that Brooker's misanthropy is in some need of redress – what sets him aside from many comedy writers is his social conscience; what holds him back is his unwillingness to build in a feeling of hope once the crisis is ended. This falls at the centre of Brooker's philosophy: an eagerness to criticise and lament that is not quite held in balance by a desire to invent a more hopeful future. Where are we without our dream of an ideal world?
Of course, the very fact that his forty-five minute essay on the brutality of pop culture can provoke such thought is a small victory of its own. You'd have to go back to Time Trumpet or Brass Eye to find television with the same power to provoke discussion. The tone of the episode, which understandably begins with an air of disbelief and amused disgust, very gradually and persuasively builds into something much more sinister and disquieting, all while never quite snapping a very delicate suspension of disbelief.
In that vein, it's a technical work of great skill. The scenes are shot, paced, cast and written with a deliberate idea of the intended impression: the early buzz in the various press offices dissipates into large, bleak, empty sets and the screen is increasingly filled with the slightly bowed doughiness of Rory Kinnear's PM and the prim pragmatism of Lindsay Duncan's political aide. It's worth taking a moment to remember how well-cast the whole thing is.
But to return to the brass tacks, a lot of your experience with the episode will live or die by how far you agree with Brooker's opinion that our hunger as a viewing public for the obscene and humiliating is all-encompassing, or more simply, that we are bad and should feel bad. To play a little game of Script Doctor, there could have been a small, rival movement of Don't Look protesters, and a swift investigation of their motivations.
The one moment I felt the episode didn't quite add up was during the slow-motion close-up of the viewers in the pub, who are in various states of distress but still watching. The guy at the hospital who justified his actions as 'watching history' didn't connect properly. You would have to truly despise someone to remain so cud-chewingly unmoved.
But perhaps that's Black Mirror's ultimate goal: to take the tactics of 1984 and show the worst of all possible worlds in an attempt to shock us into action. If only Brooker left our range of response just a little more open. Regardless, this was an electrifying open to what will hopefully be a bit of television worth remembering. Here's the teaser for episode two: 15 Million Merits:
How did you find The National Anthem? Did it make you want to tune in next time round? Let us know in the comments.

State executes Elroy Chester
HUNTSVILLE - The State of Texas has executed Elroy Chester.
He was executed at 7:04 p.m. Wednesday in Huntsville, according to a spokesman for the Texas Department of Criminal Justice.
KFDM News reporter Tom Wright will have reaction from Huntsville at 10.
The 44-year-old Chester was executed for the February 1998 shooting death of a Port Arthur firefighter. Willie Ryman III is one of five people Chester confessed to killing in about a six month period from 1997 until early 1998. Ryman was trying to prevent Chester from raping Ryman's nieces at their Port Arthur home. Ryman often checked on his nieces when their mother was away and he'd gone to check on them when he walked in and Chester contronted him and shot him.
Chester pleaded guilty to the crime and it took a Jefferson County jury only 12 minutes to decide he should die for killing Ryman.
Relatives of Ryman, as well a number of Port Arthur firefighters and police officers, including Chief Mark Blanton, traveled to Huntsville for the execution.
Shortly after 6 p.m. the U.S. Supreme Court denied a request from attorneys for Elroy Chester to delay Wednesday night's scheduled execution.
Earlier Wednesday KFDM News learned a three judge panel on the Fifth Circuit Court denied the convicted killer's request for a stay of execution.
The Fifth Circuit Court panel denied the stay at about 10:30 a.m. Wednesday, according to information provided to KFDM News by Monica Washington with the Fifth Circuit.
Attorneys for the 44-year-old Chester convinced a three-judge panel at the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals to move his case Tuesday to a new panel.
They argued that a judge who ruled earlier in his case, Edith Jones, showed her bias against Chester when she talked about his case at a law school. Chester's lawyers say during a lecture the judge delivered earlier this year she commented that African-Americans and Hispanics are predisposed to crime and defendants facing capital punishment who claim mental retardation disgust her.
Jones was in a 2-1 majority in 2011 that determined Chester wasn't mentally impaired and was therefore eligible for execution.

There is such a thing as a pet passport. I don't know the details, I just know they exist. You will then be able to bring you kitties with you.

You can try going to some vets' offices and asking if you can place an ad (some have bulletin boards for stuff like that). You can also place an ad in your local paper, and state that you want some sort of personal reference for anyone that wishes to adopt your cats.

BERLIN, Md.- Maryland State Police took a dozen children Christmas shopping in Berlin on Saturday.Troopers at the Berlin Barrack adopted the 'Shop with a Cop' program this year.
The program helps struggling families put gifts under the Christmas tree. Hillary Colonna of Pocomoke City is thankful for the opportunity.
Colonna and his wife lost everything when their previous home in Virginia caught fire two months ago. Colonna says the presents they purchased for their five-year-old daughter and six-year-old son were gone. An electrical fire happened while they were away from their home."Our kids Christmas went up in flames, and we lost everything," Colonna said.
Since then, the family moved to Pocomoke City. Before today, the couple worried about how they would prepare for Christmas.
Colonna says it's been rough."You have to pick and choose between buying food and buying presents. It's heartbreaking," he said.
The Colonna's children joined 10 other kids on a shopping trip to Walmart.
Troopers paired up with kids on the trip. "Believe it or not it was very difficult for these kids to just step out, let their hair down and go shopping," First Sgt. Christopher Davala said. " Our troopers helped them;gave them focus. Some brought for themselves, and many brought for their families." Worcester County's Cricket Center partnered with the Board of Education to find families in need, according to MSP.Troopers say with the help of donations, children were able to spend up to $100.
Walmart and local businesses contributed to the program.Law enforcement agencies across the country have also adopted 'Shop with a Cop.' Troopers at the Berlin Barrack say they plan to expand the program next year.Parents like Colonna are grateful for their help."Thank you big time. It means a lot to me and a lot to these other families, especially the kids," said Colonna.

Bachelor of Science in Hospitality Administration
Degree Requirements
These requirements apply to students who enroll in SHA after Fall 2008. Prior students are subject to the former system of requirements; these details are available from the SHA academic advisor.
Course Credits and Distribution
A candidate for the degree must earn 128 credits in distribution, elective, and specialization courses. In addition, 800 hours of on-the-job experience are required. This experience, monitored, and supervised by faculty, is divided equally between two separate 400-hour experiences and may be completed at any time during the degree program. An international experience is also required.
Students must complete distribution requirements within the College of Arts & Sciences that include English, foreign language, natural science, social science, and humanities courses. They must also complete specialization courses within SHA that focus on the hospitality industry and general business knowledge.
Course Load
Students ordinarily proceed at the rate of four courses (16 credits) per semester. Most SHA courses carry 4 credits; special electives carry 1, 2, or 4 credits. Students wishing to register for 19 or 20 credits, but not more than 20, must receive prior approval from the academic advisor. All students must be in good academic standing (have a GPA of 2.5 or better) to do so. First-semester freshmen and first-semester transfer students may not overload. Additional tuition will be charged for credits in excess of 18; however, students with a cumulative GPA of 3.3 or higher and students in their senior year who have filed a graduation application are exempt from additional charges.
Enrollment in fewer than three courses (12 credits) in any semester requires prior approval.
Residency Requirement
For the SHA degree, students must complete 128 credits of academic work. A total of 60 credits are required in the areas of specialization and hospitality elective courses and 48 credits in the distribution category.
Students are expected to remain as full-time students throughout their program in SHA. Students with fewer than 12 credits remaining in their final semester before graduation may request to be coded at part-time status.
No more than 14 credits in the area of specialization may be allowed to transfer from outside of the School of Hospitality Administration. Nine courses from the area of specialization must be completed for the degree. A maximum of 60 credits total is allowed for transfer from outside institutions.

- International Experience (0 cr)
- All SHA students are required to demonstrate significant exposure to a culture outside the United States by completing SHA HF 440. For many students, this experience may involve an internship at one of our Study Abroad sites. For others, it may involve specifically designed coursework completed at the University. Students may also propose independent projects to fulfill this requirement. (International students may use their study or work experience in the United States as their international experience.)
Freshman/Transfer Course Selection
Freshman and transfer students are guided in the selection of first-semester courses at a registration and orientation process held before the beginning of the semester. Students are encouraged to take at least one course at the School of Hospitality Administration each semester.

Mobile game startup boss set own bar
Social networking concept, acquisition of Japanese skills all part of ownership challenge
Staff writer
David "DC" Collier, 44, from Britain, could not speak a word of Japanese when he first came here seven years ago.
Not only has Collier, president of mobile phone game company Pikkle, become conversant in Japanese, but he conducted e-mail correspondence with The Japan Times in Japanese and reads game-related blogs in Japanese. He credits his ability to owning a company.
"You can live in Tokyo without speaking Japanese, but it is very difficult if you set up a venture company," he said. "Very few employees can speak English in my company."
Collier is now into learning the "emoji" (picture language) that Japanese youngsters use in mobile text messages. One of his favorites is an airplane mark followed by the hiragana "ku," meaning "hayaku" (quickly.) "These emoji are fascinating. I'd like to learn a lot more of these."
Perhaps it is the industry he's in. His career dream of creating games for mobile phones naturally placed him in Japan, which sits at the cutting edge of games and other applications for cell phones.
He wasn't interested in creating games like "Final Fantasy" with cutting-edge visual quality for Sony's PlayStation 3 or Microsoft's Xbox 360. His company makes what he calls social network mobile phone games, including one in which friends care for and breed fish.
The key to success in social network games is having an original idea, whereas traditional video games like "Final Fantasy" and "Call of Duty" depend more on technology to enhance graphic quality, Collier said in explaining why he prefers the route he has taken.
"I founded Pikkle to create the next wave of social entertainment — social networks with a game flavor," he said.
CyberAgent Inc. and Mixi Inc., the operator of Japan's top social networking site, Mixi, invested in his company.
Born in London, Collier has always been interested in games. "London is a historic city, but I thought Tokyo is a future city. I wanted to come to Tokyo because it is the world's center of games and science fiction," he said.
Shortly before the Internet bubble burst in late 1990s, Collier moved from Europe to San Francisco to form a company to create Web games. He met his future Japanese wife at a company-launch party in San Francisco.
Around the time when the Internet bubble burst, he sold his company to software firm PacketVideo Corp. and began working for the acquiring company in 2001 and was transferred to PacketVideo's Japan unit in 2002.
"Mobile phone technology was still taking forever to happen in the U.S. Meanwhile in Japan, PV's main client, DoCoMo, was doing all kinds of cool things. I decided to move to be in the heart of things," Collier said. After changing jobs from PacketVideo to Namco, he established Pikkle in 2005.
"I love making games because I can realize my idea quickly. It's really fun," he said. "Architects, for example, have to wait for a few years to see tangible results of their ideas."
Having set up venture companies in London, San Francisco and Tokyo, he considers Japanese to be the most conservative about startups. He said he has a hard time finding good people for his company here.
"Japanese don't want to quit after entering large companies. In San Francisco, those working for large companies are considered lacking the ability to work for venture companies," he said.
"It's not only during the Internet bubble era. San Francisco is a magnet for people with entrepreneurial spirit." London's venture community is also bigger than Tokyo's, he added.
"When I showed a Namco business card, everybody in Japan would say 'Namco sugoi! (Namco is a great company!)' With Pikkle's business card, everybody says 'What is Pikkle?' "
Large companies like Namco hire many foreigners and he had many to hang out with, he said. Now he is in a completely different situation, where most of the business language in and outside Pikkle is Japanese.
And he enjoys it. His passion for learning Japanese made him launch the grammar learning Web site www.jgram.org/ as a hobby.
However, his Japanese wife, whom he met in San Francisco, is not much help, as she still speaks English to him. "She says she cannot change the language she has been using to speak to me," he said.
On a typical day, Collier is at work by 11 a.m. after conference calls to the U.S. West Coast. At night, he either goes out for socializing after 7 or 8 p.m. or works until late, he said, adding that his wife typically gets home from work between 9 and 10 p.m.
"Running a startup in a foreign country is a challenge, but seems to be paying off so far," he said.

Best Lefties Sit vs So-so Righty?

I know Zito's not what he was once, (to say the least), but wouldn't tonight have been a better time to showcase XD?and "rest" Big Papi? And bring back Ross? I must be missing something here.

Bogaert had no business in that game when Drew is this hot in August. Farrell was listening to Bill-806, always a mistake.

They said on the espn cast Mon night that Ortiz has trouble playing back to back days at first base. Said its tough for him to have to move around, bend over, etc. He's not used to it, and is 37 years old. Also note that in his last at bat Mon he went back to the dugout holding his left side, probably for the same reason. Suttcliffe said he wouldnt be back last night, and he wasnt. So thats why you didnt see him last night, but you probably will today. Besides, Zito isnt exactly a flame thrower. The fact that hes LH alone would not be reason to sit Ortiz, esp in light of the above.

In response to TheExaminer's comment:
It's the fact that Ortiz has no range, is slow as molasses and is about as useless at firstbase as George W. Bush was in the oval office.
Keith Hernandez was a firstbaseman, he could run rings around many of today's DHs and firtsbasemen at 40 , and he was a smoker!

Drew is a lifetime .333 hitter in 33 AB's vs. Zitto. Not much to go on, but it's more than mostly everyone else in our lineup.
Farrel isn't a complete tool he looks at numbers.
posted at 8/21/2013 2:05 PM EDT
In response to ctredsoxfanhugh's comment:
First, I'm not one to rip Farrell. I might not agree with some decisions, but that doesn't make me right and him wrong like some posters think when they disagree. It's just my opinion. Also, just because a move doesn't work out, it doesn't make the move the wrong one.
About last night, when I saw Drew's stats against Zito, it made a bit more sense about sitting Drew last night to get Bogaerts in the lineup right away. Still, the way he's been hitting RH'ers, I hated seeing Drew sit, and maybe it would have been better to give Bogaerts his first game against a lefty.
And I understand about Ortiz going back-to-back, I still wish there was a way to play him last night and sit today. But maybe Ortiz has a big day today.

[/QUOTE]Maybe...but that's the reason why.
Maybe if they played tonights game 162 times Boagerts would bat .300 with a .950 OPS and Drew would go .200 with a .600 OPS. But maybe tonight Drew goes 4/4 with 2 HR's who knows. Personally I would have liked to see Bogaerts there tonight, but I understand the decision. I would put Bogaerts in there.....but that's just my opinion.

In response to bosoxmal's comment:[QUOTE]
[/QUOTE] If ever there was a prototype of what a baseball Manager should look like physically, Farrell is the man. Unfortunately, like any Manager, he makes some head scratching decisions and perhaps thinks too much about pre and in game strategy. Like many other posters, his lineup last night was probably the worst ever to many in the Red Sox Nation and press where Farrell was perhaps thinking too much about "tomorrow" and not enough about the game at hand. Same goes for his pitching decissions from starter to relief. To bad. With the Rays winning earlier in the day last nights game was a big one but unfortunately Farrell didn't see it that way.

More California students are taking Advanced Placement tests for college credit, and low-income students are participating and succeeding at a greater rate than in other states, according to a report released Wednesday by the College Board. But Latino and particularly black students are still underrepresented in AP classrooms, and those who took the courses posted scores well below other groups.
Last year, 34% of California high school seniors took at least one AP exam, up from 28.6% in 2006. About 22.3% of public school students scored a 3 or better on one or more of the AP tests, ranking the state sixth in the nation. Maryland ranked first, with 26.4% of its students achieving that benchmark.
