Acquia, a startup that provides services on top of the open source Drupal web platform, has raised $30 million as it looks towards a 2014 initial public offering.
The round was led by Europe-based late stage private equity firm Investor Growth Capital, with new investors Goldman Sachs and Accolade Partners (which is a limited partner in venture funds), along with existing investors Northbridge Venture Partners, Sigma Partners and Tenaya Capital. Acquia plans to use the funding to expand sales and marketing and expand in Europe and Asia.
Acquia, a company commercializing Drupal, has raised another $30 million in funding and aims to ride the open-source technology to an IPO, according to Acquia Chief Executive Tom Erickson. More than 1.5 million websites, including whitehouse.gov, run on Drupal, an interactive software platform used for content management and e-commerce. Acquia's Series E round was led by Investor Growth Capital.
A $900 million deal Selecta Biosciences has formed with Sanofi could result in therapies that ease the fears of people with severe allergies to substances found in foods or in the air. Selecta and Sanofi said they will research treatments that teach the immune system to ignore triggers that cause serious allergic reactions. Using Selecta's nanotechnology capabilities, Sanofi will develop an immunotherapy designed to curb immune responses to an undisclosed, life-threatening food allergen.
Burlington-based Acquia, makers of the open-source software platform Drupal, said today it has completed a $30 million financing round, bringing total investment in the company to $68.5 million.
Led by new investor Investor Growth Capital, the round also included Goldman Sachs and Accolade Partners, as well as all of the company's current investors, including North Bridge Venture Partners, Sigma Partners and Tenaya Capital.
The new funding will enable Acquia to accelerate its sales and marketing efforts, and continue its international expansion across Europe and Asia, the company said.
Acquia Inc., a Burlington company that offers products and services to help customers build websites using an open source publishing platform called Drupal, said that it has completed a $30 million financing round, bringing total investment in the company to $68.5 million.
Led by new investor Investor Growth Capital, the round includes Goldman Sachs and Accolade Partners, as well as all of Acquia's current investors, North Bridge Venture Partners, Sigma Partners, and Tenaya Capital, Acquia said in a press release.
Acquia said that the new financing round will enable the company to accelerate its sales and marketing efforts and continue its international expansion across Europe and Asia Pacific.
Acquia, the company that dresses up Drupal for enterprise customers, has closed a $30 million round of funding.
Acquia helps its large enterprise customers get up and running with Drupal, the popular open source content management (CMS) system. It aims to be to Drupal what Red Hat is to Linux — "the Drupal community is filled with thousands of companies and contributors," said Tom Erickson, CEO. "Dries [Buyteart] wanted to become a member of the community like Red Hat and Linux did — he didn't want to disrupt the momentum."
Buytaert invented Drupal in his dorm room as a PhD student in Belgium. He cofounded Acquia in 2007; the goal was to build a successful business around Drupal. Acquia is used by large enterprise customers, including Stanford University, Warner Music Group and Twitter. In 2009, the team helped support Whitehouse.gov transition to run on Drupal.
One of Boston's fastest growing companies, Acquia, announced this morning a whopping $30 million E round, led by Investor Growth Capital. The funding was joined by Goldman Sachs and Accolade Partners, along with the company's previous investors Northbridge Venture Partners, Sigma Partners, and Tenaya Capital.
Acquia was co-founded by Dries Buytaert, the original creator of the Drupal open source content, and Acquia focuses on supporting enterprises using the Drupal system.
Acquia has taken its fundraising total to $68.5 million (£43 million) following a $30 million round led by new backer Investor Growth Capital.
The deal also sees return contributions coming from existing investors North Bridge Venture Partners, Sigma Partners, Tenyana Capital as well as additional new supporters Goldman Sachs and Accolade Partners.
Speaking exclusively to GrowthBusiness, Jim Shaw, general manager EMEA for Acquia, says that the past 12 months has seen 77 per cent year-on-year growth in European bookings.
'In this time we have also expanded the European team to 40 staff, over 20 of whom are based in the UK,' he adds.
'The UK continues to be our strongest European market with customers from a wide range of sectors including media, publishing, entertainment, government, higher education and high-tech.'
Acquia, the Burlington, Massachusetts-based software company co-founded by open-source CMS Drupal creator Dries Buytaert, has raised $30 million in new funding to boost enterprise adoption of the social publishing system, primarily across Europe and Asia Pacific.
Led by new backer Growth Capital with participation from Goldman Sachs, Accolade Partners, North Bridge Venture Partners, Sigma Partners and Tenaya Capital, the financing round brings the total amount of capital invested in the company to date to $68.5 million.
Nov 29 (Reuters) - Acquia, a U.S. startup that advises enterprises on open source content management system Drupal, said it has raised $30 million from Investor Growth Capital and other venture firms to finance its expansion.
"We are at a stage where we are seeing tremendous growth," Acquia co-founder and Drupal creator Dries Buytaert said in a telephone interview, adding the financing will enable Acquia to invest in new products, sales and marketing, and to expand in Europe and Asia.
"There seems to be a big shift from funding consumer Internet companies to enterprise Internet companies. It seems enterprise software is sexy again," Buytaert said.
Acquia, the company that makes a suite of software tools for the open source web development and content management system Drupal, has secured $30 million in a fresh new round of funding.
The round, which serves as Acquia's Series E, was led by Investor Growth Capital with the participation of Goldman Sachs, Accolade Partners, North Bridge Venture Partners, Sigma Partners, and Tenaya Capital. This brings the total amount invested in the Massachusetts-based Acquia to $68.5 million.
Acquia, which counts Drupal creator Dries Buytaert as its co-founder and CTO, was first formed five years ago in December 2007. Since then, the company has grown to 250 employees and it is well on its way to posting around $44 million in annual revenue this year on some $60 million in bookings.
Burlington-based Acquia, which provides tools for users of the open-source Drupal web publishing platform, announced Thursday it has raised $30 million in new funding to expand its business — in what CEO Tom Erickson said will likely be the company's last fundraise before it goes public.
The round was led by new backer Investor Growth Capital and included participation from new investor Goldman Sachs (NYSE: GS), the company said.
This year, Erickson said Acquia expects to double the $21.8 million in revenue that the company received in 2011. (The revenue results made Acquia the fastest-growing software company on the 2012 Inc. 500 list, and the eighth fastest-growing company on the list overall.)
Acquia is expanding globally in its support of the open-source web content platform, Drupal. The Burlington, Massachusetts-based company said the expansion means it is the first Drupal hosting provider offering high-performance hosting on four continents — Europe, North America, Asia and Australia.
In Sydney, Australia, Acquia will open an office to cover the Asia Pacific region. The office will have staff for business development, sales, cloud operations and tech support for that region. Additionally, two new cloud deployment options will be added to Amazon Web Services' (AWS) data centers in Singapore and Australia, in support of the company's Acquia Cloud product line.
Open Source software company, Acquia, continues its global expansion, opening its Asia Pacific regional headquarters office in Sydney, at the same time it has extended the reach of its cloud product line by adding two new cloud deployment options in Amazon Web Services' Singapore and newly announced Australian data centres. Acquia Regional Director for Asia Pacific, Chris Harrop, said the opening of the Sydney office reflected the increasing demand for the open source Drupal content management system in the Asia Pacific region.
Harrop said that, in addition to sales and business development staff, the office would support Acquia's cloud operations and technical support teams in the region, and local technical staff would ensure that global customers had 24x7 follow-the-sun support, no matter where they were located.
Drupal cloud services provider Acquia is making the cloud-based AppNeta TraceView Application Performance Monitoring (APM) solution available via the Acquia Network Marketplace, making the AppNeta solution easily accessible to Drupal developers.
AppNeta TraceView is designed to provide browser-based developer visibility into the databases and servers running Drupal applications. The solution provides real-time data visualization and analysis as well as error reports/alerts. The Drupal version of TraceView specifically targets Drupal developer concerns including comparative site performance for authenticated and anonymous end users, menu item performance (including reasons driving performance), what nodes render what pages and time spent in individual Drupal hooks.
BURLINGTON, USA: Acquia, the enterprise guide to Drupal, has announced that a commissioned study conducted by Forrester Consulting on behalf of Acquia, titled "Is It Time To Consider Open Source WCM For Digital Experience?" found that open source Web Content Management (WCM) solutions have the highest satisfaction rate for creating dynamic, multichannel digital experiences.
Of those who said they were 'very satisfied' with their existing WCM solution, open source had the highest satisfaction rate (37 percent) over "homegrown" (22 percent) and proprietary solutions (8 percent).
The Forrester study, commissioned by Acquia, surveyed 160 senior business, marketing and IT decision-makers from organizations with 1,000 to more than 20,000 employees. The survey revealed that 31 percent of organizations plan on switching WCM platforms this year and 58 percent indicate that their organization has considered or is considering open source WCM.
Cloud services provider Acquia has commissioned a Forrester report on open source WCM, and while the results are not overwhelming, it does show more enterprise companies are employing open source systems.
Nearly 60 percent of the 160 companies surveyed said they had at least considered open source for their WCM programs. The report also found that executives who make these kind of decisions are also the ones who are least likely to be very satisfied with their choice.
Acquia, the for-profit company that supports the Drupal open source web content management has announced it's entering the web experience management market. The new product is called OpenWEM and combines several tools into a web experience management solution.
Acquia says the beauty of its approach is that you can plug virtually any marketing module into the Drupal platform to achieve your web experience management goals. That could include tools like Salesforce.com, Google (NASDAQ: GOOG) Analytics or Marketo, or any number of other tools.
Tom Erickson, CEO of Acquia, says this flexibility is key and gives marketing departments much more flexibility than traditional proprietary solutions. "Acquia's OpenWEM offers digital marketers and IT organizations a much better alternative to proprietary WEM solutions that are slow to adapt to changing business needs and keep pace with the speed of the social web," he said.
The solution itself combines Drupal Commons, its cloud-based website development tool, Media Cloud, which appears to be a digital asset management tool for marketers (still in Beta) and Badgeville functionality from the gamification vendor, which lets website designers build in gaming kinds of engagement to reward visitors for certain behaviors.
Acquia has released Open Web Experience Management (OpenWEM), which has been built to help organizations create immersive digital content and campaigns, and socialize them across multiple communities and channels while leveraging the flexibility of the open Web.
Acquia has introduced several new products and tools that support OpenWEM, including:
Drupal Commons 3.0 for Drupal 7 (beta)—permits organizations to quickly create online social communities for both collaboration and content delivery; new features in Version 3.0 include a completely rebuilt user experience, deeper mobile support and bolstered analytics capabilities for enhanced moderator productivity.
Recently, I wrote about employees as brand ambassadors and how they can help – or hurt – an organization's global and social brand. It depends on how well the lines between personal brand and company brand are drawn.
Once a company and leadership has the brand issue sorted out, it's time to think more deeply about social community and the actual role of community managers.
Many of my clients have created community manager roles. In fact, my friend and colleague Tim McDonald (and several other talented, hard working people listed here - Take time to read the stories of those who are in the social trenches making this role a reality) is a living, breathing example as a Community Manager for HuffPost Live. I believe this role may be a necessity for any company which relies on the good will and contributions of many people, including those who aren't even employees. Think of the many brands that fall in this category: Apple, TOMS Shoes, The Linux Foundation, too many tech companies to mention (ok, Canonical, local Boston area heroes Google here in Cambridge, Black Duck Software, HubSpot and Acquia) and the gazillion other consumer brands who are waking up to the power of collaborating with loosely-coupled online social communities.

Charles Durning Movies
Before he became an actor,
Charles Durning
, the son of an Army man, continued in his father's footsteps with valor and distinction, earning a silver star and purple heart in World War II.
held down several "joe jobs" -- iron worker, elevator operator, cabbie, waiter, and dance instructor -- until turning to acting in the late 1950s. Fresh from the national tour of The Andersonville Trial,
began his long association with
Joseph Papp
in 1962, distinguishing himself in
roles. He made his earliest film appearance in Ernest Pintoff's
Harvey Middleman, Fireman
's film roles increased in size and importance after his interpretation of a crooked cop in the Oscar-winning
The Sting
(1973). He went on to appear in several
Burt Reynolds
films, most memorably as the singing governor in
The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas
(1982). That performance landed him an Oscar nomination, as did his spin on "Concentration Camp" Erhardt in the 1983 remake of To Be or Not to Be.
In 1975,
was nominated for a Golden Globe Award for his portrayal of ulcerated police lieutenant Moretti in the theatrical feature
Dog Day Afternoon
(1975); he finally won that award 15 years later for his work as "Honey Fitz" Fitzgerald in the TV miniseries
The Kennedys of Massachusetts
. Other notable film roles to his credit include Peter Stockmann in the
Steve McQueen
An Enemy of the People
Dustin Hoffman
's "suitor" in the cross-dressing classic
(1982) (he later co-starred with
in the 1984 stage revival of Death of a Salesman), and the foredoomed Waring Hudsucker in the Coen Brothers'
Hudsucker Proxy
On television,
played Lt. Gil McGowan on the daytime soap Another World, officer Frank Murphy in The Cop and the Kid (1975), Big Ed Healey in
Captains and the Kings
(1976), Studs' dad in Studs Lonigan (1979), private-eye Oscar Poole in Eye to Eye (1985), the title character in PBS' I Would Be Called John: Pope John XXIII (1987), crooked industrialist Dan Packard (the old
Wallace Beery
role) in
Dinner at Eight
(1989), and Dr. Harrlan Eldridge in the
Burt Reynolds
TV vehicle Evening Shade (1990-1994), an assignment which afforded the far-from-sylph-like
his first nude scene.
While his television and film career have continued to be prolific,
has also continued to earn acclaim for his stage work. In 1990, he won a Tony Award for his performance as Big Daddy in the Broadway revival of Cat on a Hot Tin Roof.
He continued to work steadily well into his seventies in a variety of projects including Jodie Foster's dysfunctional family comedy/drama Home for the Holidays, the absurd comedy Spy Hard, and Jerry and Tom. At the beginning of the 20th century he reteamed with the Coen Brothers for O Brother, Where Art Thou?, and was part of the impressive ensemble in David Mamet's State and Main. He was also part of the original cast of the firefighter drama series Rescue Me. Durning died at age 89 in late December 2012, two months before his 90th birthday. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Adapted from Joseph C. Lincoln's best-selling novel Can'n Eri, this gentle tale of three retired sea captains living together and looking to get their house in order features an all-star cast including David Carradine, Rip Torn, Bruce Dern, and Mariel Hemingway. The story begins in turn of the century Cape Cod, where Captain Jerry Burgess (Torn), Captain Perez (Dern), and Captain Zeb (Carradine) decide that the only way to get their house in order is for one of them to get married. When no one jumps at the prospect of taking a bride, they decide to flip a coin and Captain Jerry is selected as the groom-to-be. After placing an ad for a mail-order bride in a big-city newspaper, the trio gets a response from Martha Snow (Hemingway), who hails from nearby Nantucket. The plan seems to be going along just fine until Captain Jerry gets cold feet, prompting Captain Perez to work overtime to keep Martha from leaving. But as Captain Jerry attempts to work up the confidence to propose, a strange thing happens: Captain Zeb falls in love with Martha and proposes. Now, if Captain Jerry can just find it within himself to forgive and old friend, this seafaring trio may find that everything will work out in the end. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Masters of Horror creator Mick Garris joins forces with literary horror icon Stephen King for this, the pair's sixth onscreen collaboration. In the wind-swept Nevada town of Desperation, a malevolent sheriff (Ron Perlman) delivers arrestees to a jail cell from which, by all accounts, no one has emerged alive. The streets are littered with the corpses of dead residents, and it appears that a sinister supernatural force has tightened its deadly grip on the once-thriving community. Arrested by the sinister lawman and subsequently thrown behind bars, a vacationing family, a traveling writer (Tom Skeritt), and a drifting hitchhiker (Steven Weber) narrowly thwart death by escaping their cold metal confines. Upon coming into contact with a mysterious prepubescent boy named David (Shane Haboucha) who seems to possesses an eerie insight into the ancient evil that haunts the town, the brave group boldly determines to solve the combat the evil that has infected this desolate landscape. Despite some notable help from the surviving town veteran (Charles Durning) and the dejected female half of a married couple (Annabeth Gish) who recently incurred the wrath of the nefarious sheriff, this unlikely band of weakened mortals seems no match for the powerful evil that now inhabits the town of Desperation. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Burt Reynolds, Robert Loggia, and Charles Durning star in this crime comedy following three retired war veterans who stumble upon $4million in stolen mob money and quickly find themselves targeted by both the Mafia and the Feds. Sam (Reynolds), Carl (Loggia), and Eddie (Durning) have all managed to survive their turbulent tours of duty, and now all they want is to settle down and enjoy their retirement in the desert paradise of Sunrise Park - located just outside of Phoenix, AZ. Up until now, the biggest concern for these three friends was who would wind up winning the affections of their sultry neighbor, a former Las Vegas showgirl named Christine (Raquel Welch). The stakes get more than a little higher, however, when the Witness Protection Program drops mob-informant Angelo Nitti in their midst. Having recently turned evidence on some of the most dangerous underworld heavies around, Angelo has been given a new name and a new home in Sunrise Park. But despite the fact that he's come clean about his criminal life, Angelo still harbors a whopper of a secret: He's quietly stashed $4million in stolen mob money, and he's planning on spending the rest of his days in style. His plan hits a hitch, however, when his three neighbors discover the loot and head out on a wild spending spree.

In season one of the FX network "dramedy" Rescue Me, it is abundantly clear that the harrowing events of September 11, 2001, are still taking their toll on the firefighters of New York City's Engine 62 company even after three years. Senior firefighter Tommy Gavin (Denis Leary) is carrying around so much emotional baggage that he has prompted his wife, Janet (Andrea Roth), to file for divorce. Desperately hoping to remain close to his three children, Tommy moves into the house across the street from his estranged wife, and spends most of the first season trying to drive a wedge between Janet and her current beau, Roger (Jay Potter) -- even though Tommy himself is hardly what one could call celibate. At the same time, our "hero" courts insanity by carrying on spirited conversations with the ghost of his cousin Jimmy (James McCaffrey), a firefighter killed in the line of duty. He goes so far as to promise Jimmy that he'll look after the man's widow; trouble is, he doesn't like what he sees. Elsewhere at Engine 62, Chief Jerry Reilly (Jack McGee) continues to compulsively gamble away not only his life savings but also his future pension; rookie Mike Siletti (Mike Lombardi) is the butt of some truly nasty practical jokes; Franco Rivera's (Daniel Sunjata) serial womanizing catches up with him in appalling fashion; Laura (Diane Farr), the new female member of the previously all-male firefighting team, does her best to bear up against a barrage of cloddish chauvinism; and the ongoing bitter rivalry between the FDNY and the NYPD culminates in a savagely brutal hockey game. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

A Very Married Christmas
Having lived a respectable and rather dull existence for most of his time on earth, database designer Frank Griffin (Joe Mantegna) is rudely awakened from his ennui when his wife Ellen (Jean Smart) announces that she is having an affair and wants a divorce. Although the couple agrees to stay together for the present out of respect for their daughter Zoe (Jordy Benattar), it is clearly going to be an unhappy Christmas for Frank. In his efforts to get his mind off his problems, Frank signs up to be a volunteer Santa Claus, subjecting himself to a curious training regimen conducted by a relentlessly optimistic fellow named Ozzy (Charles Durning). Although his first Santa experiences are grueling, Frank finds a kindred spirit in photographer Donna (Kari Matchett), who has similarly split from her husband and is raising her son Gabe (Andrew Chalmers) by herself. In his efforts to help Donna and to patch up his own domestic troubles, Frank begins to wonder if he should consider a future not with Ellen but with Donna. . .and that's only the beginning of the story. A few mildly risqué scenes notwithstanding, A Very Married Christmas proved to be suitable family fare when it was first broadcast by CBS on December 5, 2004. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Rescue Me [TV Series]
Another contemporary "dramedy" series from the star/creator of The Job, Rescue Me revolved around the activities of a group of professional firefighters operating Engine 62 in a post-9/11 New York City. Denis Leary headed the cast as senior firefighter Tommy Gavin, who had allowed the pressures of his job to botch up his home life, separating him from his wife, Janet (Andrea Roth), and their three children. Even more disturbing was the fact that Tommy was constantly haunted by the ghosts of his dead comrades, and regularly carried on conversations with his deceased cousin, firefighter Jimmy Keefe (James McCaffrey). Nor was Tommy the only member of the Engine 62 team battling personal demons. Chief Jerry Reilly (Jack McGee) was a compulsive gambler; handsome Sean Garrity (Steven Pasquale) was incapable of carrying on an intelligent conversation; and daredevil Franco Rivera (Daniel Sunjata) insisted upon living on the edge, both on and off the job, frequently with disastrous consequences. Meanwhile, Lt. Kenny "Lou" Shea (John Scurti) endeavored to channel his emotions and phobias into writing poems, and rookie Mike Silletti (Mike Lombardi) was kept busy trying to figure out what sort of practical joke would next be pulled on him by his sadistically prankish co-workers. The first season of Rescue Me was launched by the FX cable network on July 21, 2004. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Add A Boyfriend for Christmas to top of Queue
Way back when she was 13 years old, lonely Holly Grant (Kelli Williams), envying the busy social lives of her best friends, made a wish to receive a boyfriend for Christmas. Instead, Holly was given a glass globe, ostensibly by "Santa Claus" himself, with the attached message that her wish would be granted within the next two decades. Flash forward 20 years: Now a dedicated pro bono attorney, the still-unattached Holly has experienced great success in making everyone happy -- except herself. Enter two men in our heroine's life: Ted Powell (Bruce Thomas), her onetime high school heartthrob, and some guy calling himself Doug, who strangely resembles a person whom Holly ardently dislikes -- and who may well be the answer to the wish posted to Santa twenty years before! A Boyfriend for Christmas originally aired over the Hallmark channel on November 27, 2004. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Touched by an Angel: The Root of All Evil
Bound by the rules of the Confessional, elderly priest Father Madden (Charles Durning) is unable to turn in the person who has tipped him off about a planned bank robbery.

First Monday [TV Series]
Hoping to utilize the Supreme Court in the same dramatic manner that West Wing utilized the White House, the weekly, 60-minute CBS series First Monday focused on the nine Justices who laid down the law for the United States. Joe Mantegna headed the cast as Joseph Novelli, the newest member of the nine-person Supreme Court. Entering a political arena that was evenly divided between Conservative and Liberal, the "moderate" Justice Novelli generally acted as the tie-breaker in matters of national jurisprudence (though supposedly noncommittal politically, Novelli's beard and pugnacious personality indicated that he was the "champion of the underdog" type). James Garner co-starred as staunchly conservative Chief Justice Thomas Brankin, who displayed his contempt for contemporary political correctness by puffing away on a cigarette in his "officially" smoke-free private office. Brankin's chief ally was the whimsical, womanizing Justice Henry Hoskins (Charles Durning), while on varying extremes of the political spectrum were Jewish jurist Esther Weisenberg (Camille Saviola) and black Justice Jerome Morris (James McEachin). Created by Jag's Donald P. Bellisario, First Monday premiered on Tuesday, January 15, 2002, before settling into its standard Friday-night slot. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Published on 15 - May - 2012
Retail crime rate surges by 83% in two years
According to the British Retail Consortium (BRC), more than 35,000 members of retail staff suffered physical or verbal abuse last year, leading the retail association to publish a new guide on what is being done - and what more it thinks should be done - to tackle the problem.The BRC are calling for a stronger response from police as attacks on shop workers increase
Named 'Tackling Violence Against Staff,' the guide is endorsed by shop workers' union Usdaw, and contains details of initiatives such as conflict management training being offered to some employees. The rise in crime against retail workers cost £1.4bn last year, and the BRC is urging more retailers to come forward to report crimes against them so a fuller picture can be achieved.
Verbal abuse has been pinpointed as a growing problem for retailers; the BRC has criticized the police and criminal justice system for not responding effectively enough when shop workers are attacked.
BRC head of crime Catherine Bowen said: "Retailers invest considerable resources in protecting their workers, stock and property. Protecting staff from violence means taking many factors into account, from the positioning of in-store CCTV to how those who do carry out attacks are prosecuted. Companies are doing a lot to prevent trouble occurring in the first place, for example by giving customer service staff training in how to avoid conflict.
"Our new guidelines will help businesses be sure they've done all they can to prevent staff from being attacked or abused. The question that remains is whether the police and criminal justic system are doing all within their power to protect the country's three million retail employees. Those who are violent or threatening towards our staff are as guilty of a crime as anyone who behaves that way on the street. The police response needs to reflect that."
Usdaw general secretary John Hannett said: "Usdaw welcomes these guidelines form the BRC. The BRC's support for the union's Freedom from Fear campaign has been very helpful. Working together we have seen a significant reduction in serious assaults in the last five years.
"However we share the BRC's concern that reports of threats and verbal abuse have escalated and the rise in robberies over the last year shows that there is no room for complacency. Usdaw is committed to working with the BRC and with employers to make it clear that abuse is not part of the job."

This is a very versatile die that can be used to edge your card as shown on Sheila's note cards or to create a border as shown on the gift box. She also added a butterfly embellishment from the Exotic Butterflies Small die set to the top of the box. Thank you, Sheila, for this wonderful inspiration. It makes a fabulous gift for most any occasion.

Replica Watches Guide
When it comes to replica watches, the technology today has made it harder to harder to distinguish them from the originals. This can be easily be considered as an advantage, at least when we are talking about genuine replicas, not fake counterfeits.
In the beginning, watch replicas came as a way to fool buyers into thinking that they are original pieces. The quality of those counterfeit watches was so poor that it was fairly easy to make the difference between the authentic watch and the fake. Poor materials, shoddy structure were two main downsides of old replicas.
The idea behind today's replica watches is a completely different one. Born from necessity, genuine replica watches came as a response to the market's demands for quality designer watches at affordable prices. Obviously, grand labels weren't in the position of reducing prices such as to be affordable for everyday consumers.
However, what could be the solution for regular clients who wanted a designer watch but their income didn't allow them to pay thousands of dollars?
The solution came as replica watches, but high quality replicas. Made of the best possible replacement materials replica watches reproduced in great detail the elements of original pieces, making possible for everyone to enjoy the same style and designs featured by reputable bands.
Famous watch manufacturers didn't suffer much from the progress of the watch replica industry, mainly because their products aim a completely different category of clients: rich, stylish and with plenty of money to spend. Replica watch companies were targeting regular clients, people working from 9 to 5, perhaps with mortgage payments and other financial responsibilities. Watch replicas are not made of precious materials such as the originals (gold, platinum, diamonds, sapphires, crystals, crocodile leather). On the other hand, they are not made of poor quality materials. Replacements come as silver, gold coating, Swarovski crystals, and resistant glass.
The watch replica industry has evolved tremendously in the past decade. Using the top technology available and the finest replacement materials, it's no wonder that replica watches look exactly like the authentic watches. The Internet (used as sales /distribution channel), the availability and convenient prices of higher quality parts such as the ETA movements have practically revolutionized the replica watch market.
- Replica watches are generally made in Asia: China, Thailand, and Taiwan.
- Factories are also producing legitimate parts or watches for other marks, so the quality of the replica watches is quite high considering the fact that it's professionals who assemble them.
- The most popular watch replicas are made after brands such as Omega, Bvlgari, Cartier, Breitling, and Patek Philippe.
Raising the bar in the quality of replica watches is a current process, and new breeds of high-end replicas can make everyone's dream come true. Style becomes accessible on all levels, and people can enjoy the brands and the designs they see only on TV on in fashion magazines, only in a slightly different form. High-end replica watches are all about manufacturing materials. So what if you get silver instead of platinum? What if the watch comes incrusted with Swarovski crystals instead of rare diamonds? In the end, does it worth spending so much on an original watch? If it looks the same, functions the same but has a convenient price, this might seem like a good deal for the average Joe.

Article: Native Instagram App Is Not Coming to BlackBerry 10
Native Instagram App Is Not Coming to BlackBerry 10 - John Paczkowski and Mike Isaac - Mobile - AllThingsD
Sources close to Instagram tell AllThingsD that a native version of the photo-sharing application is not headed to BlackBerry 10 — anytime soon, at least. "There will be no [native] Instagram for BB10 for now," said one. "Frankly, I'm not sure there will ever be." - 02-21-2013, 05:26 PM #2
This writer is a joke. Alex Kinsella, from BlackBerry, got in argument with the editor of this article over twitter. Go read some of the recent tweets by @stevekovach, the editor, and you'll see what I'm talking about.

you can see Kevin Michaluk actually replied to this article with simply a picture of a native app on his Z10.
No words, no comments, nothing, just a picture.
He Kevin pretty much destroyed this guy's entire article with a simple photo.

It just again shows how some major blogging sites are disturbing with bull**** articles. I just hope the day will come when such articles will be the downfall of sites like AllThingsD.
That was a great reply by Kevin. It just goes to show how uninformed some of these blog tech writers are. I bet there was not even one ounce of research done prior to the article being written.

Typical article.
Say something of questionable veracity (no native app ever). Goes on to act like BB10 will never even get the app. Continues about how native apps are the holy grail cause they have to drive home that message as often as possible, next says that no other platform will ever get them other than iOS and 'droid (even though 'droid didn't have it for quite some time). Comes to the conclusoin that everyone is only going to ever compete for #3.
Wow. Even after stating that there will be an android port and they go with that train of thought. - 02-21-2013, 07:55 PM #10
I'm getting use to read this type of "Headlines" trying to scare users from just taking a look on the BB10 platform... but we will prevail.... Like we said here down in Mexico... "If the dogs are barking at your heels, you know you're leading the pack!!!!!!"

So is it a native app or a sideloaded Android app? The picture doesn't tell us. I know a lot of people say "well what does it matter"? It matters in the sense that a native app requires a company to dedicate resources to it. A side loaded Android app means they can just focus on iOS and Android development and still capture BB users without extra effort. It speaks to the faith companies have in the new BB 10 operating system.
Don't forget all the backpedalling over Alicia Keys posting a things to Instagram when she's supposed to be BlackBerry's creative director. The official response was that she was going through a "transitional period" but was now exclusively BlackBerry. Why not just ignore it if a native app was coming? - CrackBerry Genius

By Drew Brooks Staff writer
CAMP ARIFJAN, Kuwait - For soldiers, the Thanksgiving holiday is part meal, part spectacle.
Surrounded by hundreds of holiday decorations - from ice sculptures to carved melons and dioramas made from butter - the soldiers at Camp Arifjan, Kuwait, enjoyed a Thanksgiving meal to rival any other.
"Thanksgiving in the military, for cooks, is like the Super Bowl," said Master Sgt. Sheila Marshall of Fort Bragg's 1st Theater Sustainment Command.
Marshall, other senior noncommissioned officers and officers served the holiday feast, heaping helpings of turkey, ham, dressing and other holiday favorites onto the plates of their soldiers.
"It's good for the leaders to serve them for a change, instead of them serving us," Marshall said. "I want to make sure they get the good stuff."
Hundreds of Fort Bragg soldiers, mostly with the 1st TSC, are stationed at Arifjan.
Some, such as Marshall, have been there as long as 20 months. Others are stopping in Arifjan on their way elsewhere in the theater.
Preparations for the feast began more than two weeks ago, when dining facility staff began creating the artistic displays, said Krishna Panthi, who manages one of several dining halls on Camp Arifjan.
The cooking began 72 hours before the meal, Panthi said, and included preparations to feed more than 3,000 soldiers more than 1,200 pounds of turkey, 900 pounds of prime rib and 100 cans of sweet potatoes at his facility alone.
Panthi said the food artists have no formal training, but instead have honed their skills while for years working in the dining facility.
Sgt. Daniel Rodriguez, a Fort Bragg soldier with the 1st TSC who is originally from New York, said all the holiday preparations were worth it.
"The ham is on point," he said while enjoying his food.
Rodriguez has a wife, La Quia, and two sons, Jason and Christopher, back home, but has missed four of the last eight Thanksgivings while deployed.
"I could say you get used to it," he said of missing holidays with family, "but the little things bring you back and make you miss home."
Rodriguez said Thanksgiving should be about coming together and enjoying the company of family and friends while eating good food.
While deployed, that means spending time in the company of your fellow soldiers, which Rodriguez described as a "family away from home."
"We're out here on a mission," he said. "But we'll be happy to see our families when we get back home."

Gold Confiscation!… In This Country, It's A True Story
If you are considering buying gold coins as a way to invest for your retirement, you need to understand some historical facts that this country has gone through. Did you know that President Roosevelt, in 1933, created an executive order for all citizens of the U.S. to hand over their gold bullion, gold coins and gold certificates to the Federal Govt. in exchange of $20.67 per troy ounces? This is called gold confiscation. If you didn't hand your gold over and was caught with it, you could be fined up to 10,000 dollars and imprisoned for up to ten years. Now that was in our past and the whole executive order was repealed in 1974 by President Ford, but the point is that it could happen again.
What would you do if the investment you had put together in gold was called back again and you had to sell your gold for less than you had invested in it? Could this happen again? It's always possible. One thing you need to know is that in 1977 congress removed the power of the president regulating gold transactions during a national emergency, except for the the emergency of war. So it would have to be a very dramatic occasion before the president would cease your gold, but gold confiscation could happen again..
One very important exclusion to the gold confiscation has been the collector's gold coins. There were only certain types of gold taken, such as the regular gold coin, bullion or gold certificates during the 30's. The government had no interest in collectors coins, only coins that could be used for monetary reasons.
The one thing that we do need to look at is that history can repeat itself. And we might be faced with an emergency that would have the government confiscating our gold again. What could we do if that did repeat itself? Laws can and will change over the years. As people of this great nation, we need to let our senators and congressmen know what our concerns are. After all, they are the servants for us, the people. Letting your senator or congressman know what your concerns are is always a good idea. Also there is another person who could help you with your concerns, and that is the U.S. Bureau Metals Advisor. Just call (800) 775-3504 and give your point of view and questions to this person as well. After all, it's your investment and no one should be capable of taking it away.

Jan. 25, 2011 -- The FDA today approved over-the-counter sale of Allegra, the best-selling antihistamine also sold generically as fexofenadine.
Allegra maker Sanofi-aventis says Allegra will be on retail shelves on March 4, in plenty of time for spring allergy season.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- Dinner and a play. For 46 years the Alhambra Dinner Theatre on Beach Boulevard has entertained hundreds of thousands. The Alhambra is the oldest continuously operating dinner theatre in the United States. TV stars like Bob Denver, Dawn Wells, Alice B. Davis, Barry Williams and Mickey Rooney have graced the stage here. "The food is fabulous and the shows absolutely wonderful," said theatre patron Kay Osban who drives from St. Mary's to see the shows.
Originally opened in 1967, Tod Booth bought the Alhambra in 1984. "This place was and still is a major cultural asset to the community. It's the quality of life and to me it was the choice to be here and do my thing and we have been appreciated by all these wonderful people again and again," said Booth.
But in 2009 the bad economy, fewer bus tours and the Beach Boulevard resurfacing project nearly closed the business for good. That's when Craig Smith, who came to Alhambra as a boy, along with other investors stepped in and saved the dinner theatre. "We're finally at a place where it's self-sufficient and folks are coming and loving it," said Smith.
The buffet is gone and now dinners ar served tableside. Plus, the stars of TV long ago are back like Michael Learned of the Waltons. She's currently starring in "Driving Miss Daisy." "This particular theatre, the Alhambra, has a wonderful family feeling to it," said Learned.
From Driving Miss Daisy, to the Odd Couple, Wille Wonka and The Wizard of Oz, some who have performed here not only come from Broadway but end up going to Broadway. "My vision and dream and hopes of getting these young people of having an opportunity to go to the next and transpired. At the same time we have entertained 100.000 folks last year that came and loved it like I did when I was a little boy," said Smith.
Back in 1976 there were 147 equity theatres in the country. Now, there are only five including the Alhambra. The Alhambra, the country's oldest continuously operating dinner theatre and a Landmark Legend in Jacksonville.

Tonka's moved out
20 April 2007
Wow how time has flown, Tonka's already 17 months old, and boy is he getting a big fella, weighing in at a whopping 10.7kg (Thanks to mum, Dozer).But the time has come for Tonka to move away, across the paddock to aunty Minibus, so that mum can have well deserved rest, (at night at least), but they still have access together through out the day. In the wild most common wombats are weaned by about 18 months of age, and in the recent months, Dozer has been teaching him how to defend himself through play fights getting stronger and more aggressive as he ages, for the challenges he might face as an adult.
Although still the smallest of the tribe Tonka has been getting some cheeky lessons from sister Kato and already tries to boss his sisters and dad, Chizel around. With his natural instinct to dig, Tonka's been digging up a storm, last week he dug a tunnel 12 metres long, which got all the wombats excited. With all his new found skills and lovely personality, Tonka is a credit to Dozer and is getting ready to face the big wide world ahead.

DAMAC Ocean Heights DAMAC Properties Co. LLC Ocean Heights, located in Dubai Marina, is a 310-meter residential tower. The project was the recipient of the Bentley 2006 "Best Architecture" award. The design evolved to maximize views toward the ocean with a deliberate twist on three of its faces. This allows the units, even in the back, a view toward the water beyond. The 82 storey tower is planned for completion in 2008. The building immediately starts its twist of its three faces at the base. As it rises, the tower's floor plates reduce in size, allowing the rotation to become even more pronounced. At fifty stories, the building rises over its neighbors. This movement allows two faces of the building, unobstructed views to the ocean. The tower breaks away from the orthogonal grid and re-orients the project toward one of Dubai's Palm Islands to the north. A challenging aspects of the design was accommodating the client's strict requirement of unit layouts within a changing envelope. What resulted was a rational 4-meter module, which tracks its way down through the entire building and only changes at the facade. This also considerably simplified the structural system of the project.

The bachelor of science in healthcare management degree program prepares graduates for healthcare management and administrative careers within any healthcare facility or business that must stay current with healthcare laws and regulations. Examples of career paths for graduates include:
Careers in healthcare management/administration exist in hospitals, physician offices, clinics, outpatient care centers, insurance carriers, home healthcare organizations, and assisted long-term care facilities. While professionals in this career work primarily in an office setting, executive-level administrators may travel on occasion to oversee satellite offices. The typical work week for Healthcare Management careers extends beyond 40 hours, however professionals in the field are often rewarded with an excellent benefits and compensation package.
Healthcare administration careers offer advancement and increased earning potential as the administrator takes on additional responsibilities. This can occur through promotion at the current employer or by accepting a position at a larger facility. Bachelor degree graduates with little or no industry experience typically start out as administrative assistants or department heads, while those with a master's degree may enter the industry as an associate administrator or manager/supervisor of a department.

Butternut Squash, meh.
Get off my back, Babylon!
I dislike it for quite a few reasons...
One, its flavor isn't very good...pumpkins and sweet potatoes are along the same lines flavor-wise and they are much better.
Two, I hate prepping those stupid things for my job. Not only are they a bitch to peel, but its embarassing-looking too, like I'm handling a giant cock and balls. Also, they leave this awful residue on your hands that takes a million handwashings to get rid of.
Get off my back, Babylon!

Vote centers no longer an option for Goshen referendum

Elkhart County Clerk Wendy Hudson told local leaders Monday, Feb. 25, that funding to certify new voting equipment has been eliminated from the state�s budget. The county has been eyeing the cost of buying new voting machines and electronic poll books for the transition from precinct-style voting to vote centers, an effort to save money and boost voter turnout. Vote centers would give registered voters more flexibility by allowing them to cast ballots at any designated center instead of being tied to a specific polling site.
�I�m disappointed that we�re not going to be able to move forward as quickly as I had hoped, but we will continue working on moving forward as soon as we can,� Hudson said.
Goshen officials and citizens have been discussing whether to pursue building a $27.6 million community center, but approving that process would require a referendum. Leaders promoting the community center have said that the referendum would give the county a chance to use vote centers for the first time.
Hudson said voting equipment is certified through Ball State University�s political science department using the Voting System Technical Oversight Program, or VSTOP. The program has run out of funding to certify equipment, which assures that new voting machines will be functioning correctly on Election Day.
�Until the VSTOP program can continue, we can�t get anything certified, and we�re stuck with our current equipment,� Hudson said. �We can work with our current equipment. It�s just not designed for vote centers.�
Hudson said the lack of funding for equipment certification is a huge roadblock, but the vote center concept could re-emerge in a couple of years.
�What I�m hearing from the council and commissioners is they think it will be more likely that we could move forward in 2015,� she said. �Because we�re unable to move forward with vote center equipment for a countywide vote, I don�t want to use the vote center concept for a special election this fall. I don�t want the voters to get used to the vote centers for this special election and then take them back to precinct voting next year. I think that would be confusing.�
But for now, �the state has stopped the process,� county commissioner Mike Yoder said. The commissioners will not seek bids on new voting equipment until it is able to be certified, he said.
Hudson and Yoder are not the only ones who were anxious to see how the vote centers worked out.
�I thought it would be a good trial run because it�s not a big election, and it would allow us to work any bugs out that it might have,� said Jim McKee, Goshen City Council president. �I think it�s going to cost quite a bit more now.�
News of the step back from vote centers comes on the heels of the Goshen City Council�s discussion on how to pay for November�s special election.
At this time, the estimated cost of the election is $58,000, which would be split proportionally between the city and Goshen Community Schools, relative to their respective costs of the project.
McKee introduced a resolution at the Feb. 19 council meeting, however, that would request Goshen Community Center Inc. to reimburse the city for the cost of the special election.
The council ultimately decided to postpone any action on the resolution until more details of the special election and its cost became clear.

Belle Isle plan blocked by Detroit City Council
Matt Helms of the Detroit Free Press reports the Detroit City Council has dug their heels in on a plan for Belle Isle. The plan calls for the state to lease the park from the city and run it as a state park.
The Council has "indefinitely postponed" plans for a public hearing on the plan.
From the Freep:
The council's decision means the proposal can't go forward until council members get what they want: more funding guarantees from the state as well as a fuller hearing on alternative proposals for the island park.
Council members said the state had yet to respond to its request that guarantees of millions of dollars in upgrades to the island be put in writing, information that was not specifically spelled out in the state's proposed 30-year lease. The lease would be for 30 years with two optional 30-year renewals.

By Drew Brooks Staff writer
Sgt. Jeffrey T. Hurst will become the latest soldier to be court-martialed in the death of Pvt. Danny Chen when he goes on trial today at Fort Bragg.
Hurst is the sixth of eight soldiers from Fort Wainwright, Alaska, to be tried in Chen's suicide.
Chen, 19, killed himself in Afghanistan in October 2011. Prosecutors have said he was driven to suicide by the mistreatment and racial taunting of his fellow soldiers.
Hurst is accused of negligent homicide, reckless endangerment, maltreatment of a subordinate, two specifications of dereliction of duty and two specifications of violating a lawful general regulation.
His trial is expected to last a week.
According to court documents, Hurst used racially disparaging names like Dragon Lady and Bruce Lee toward Chen in the weeks leading up to his death. He's also accused of failing to stop other instances of hazing and maltreatment.
Two other soldiers, 1st Lt. Daniel Schwartz and Staff Sgt. Andrew Van Bockel, also face charges related to Chen's death. Both have trials scheduled for this month at Fort Bragg.
Five soldiers have been punished for their maltreatment or hazing of Chen. They are:
Sgt. Adam Holcomb, who was convicted of maltreatment and sentenced to 30 days in prison, the loss of one rank and the forfeiture of more than $1,100 after a seven-day trial.
Spc. Ryan Offutt, who pleaded guilty to hazing and mistreating Chen and was sentenced to six months in prison, a demotion to private and a bad conduct discharge following a plea agreement.
Staff Sgt. Blaine Dugas, Chen's platoon sergeant, who was demoted one rank and sentenced to three months in prison following convictions for using alcohol in a combat zone and dereliction of duty. He will not have to serve any time in prison because of credit for 90 days in prison based on unlawful pretrial punishment.
Sgt. Travis Carden, who was demoted one rank and will forfeit two-thirds of his pay for a month following convictions of hazing and maltreating Chen by calling him racially disparaging names and ordering him to perform pushups with his mouth full of water.
Spc. Thomas Porter Curtis IV, who was demoted to private and sentenced to three months in prison after pleading guilty to hazing and maltreatment.
All eight of the soldiers were assigned to the 1st Brigade Combat Team, 25th Infantry Division, but they fell under the command of the 82nd Airborne Division while deployed to Afghanistan.

Our Mission
Rubicon's mission is to prepare very low-income people to achieve financial independence and to partner with people with mental illness on their journey of recovery.
Our Results
Rubicon served more than 3,000 people across Alameda County and Contra Costa County last year. We placed nearly 500 unemployed people in jobs more than at any point in our 40 year history. More than 1,400 children were positively impacted by our life-changing work with their parents. We reduced hospitalization rates for people with serious mental illness by 54%.
Our History
A nationally recognized nonprofit, Rubicon was founded in 1973. Rubicon is one of just five organizations nationwide to be awarded a special federal grant to make sure parents coming out of the criminal justice system can provide financial and emotional support for their children and stay on the right side of the law. The name Rubicon refers to a decision from which there is no turning back the beginning of the journey to change.
Our Approach
People in our hardest hit communities need intensive support to access the jobs and opportunities that will enable them to move out of poverty. Rubicon finds support thats right for each individual a personalized, comprehensive suite of services that includes job placement, housing, legal services, and financial literacy. We place low-income East Bay residents in jobs and housing and get them access to legal services and healthcare.
