Storm leader Karen Bryant honored before 76-67 loss to Indiana
The crowd of 6,179 expressed appreciation for Bryant's part in creating a women's professional basketball legacy in Seattle.
Seattle Times staff reporter
There were plenty of differences from the first time Karen Bryant stepped on the KeyArena court for a pregame ceremony to her last appearance in an official Storm capacity on Thursday.
One constant was the appreciation and warmth from those in attendance for Bryant's part in creating a women's professional basketball legacy in Seattle. Bryant, the Storm's first employee when the city was granted a WNBA team in 1999, is retiring as the franchise's CEO and president.
"I never would have found my way to the WNBA had it not been for you and (owners) Force 10 Hoops," said fourth-year WNBA president Laurel Richie, who was spotted by Bryant while speaking at a banquet in Seattle.
Bryant addressed the crowd, ownership group and players during a pregame ceremony before Seattle faced Indiana at KeyArena. Bryant's words conjured a range of emotions similar to the Storm's first game in June 2000.
And like then, Seattle mistakes led to a loss — 76-67 to Indiana before 6,179 fans.
When Bryant first introduced the Storm to Seattle in 2000, there were 10,840 fans at KeyArena. The electric night was only dampened by a 77-47 loss to Houston.
"We would have liked to get a win for this special night," Storm coach Brian Agler said. "But I don't think anybody 10 years from now is going to think back on (Karen's) tenure here and say we lost the last game she worked here. Her legacy is much stronger and longer and impactful than that."
The Storm also acknowledged Lin Dunn, who's retiring from coaching as the leader of Indiana and began her WNBA career as the coach/general manager of the Storm. Dunn is credited for drafting franchise icons Lauren Jackson and Sue Bird.
Dunn was walked to the KeyArena sideline for the final time in her career while flanked by former players Charmin Smith, Jamie Redd, Kate Starbird, and Simone Edwards. Dunn closed her storied history in the building with a win, handing Seattle its seventh consecutive loss.
"We don't close games out," Storm point guard Sue Bird said of what went wrong. "There have been games where we've had a lead and games where we come back. Whatever the case is, we can't get it done to get wins."
Seattle led 52-51 at the end of the third quarter. It looked to be able to close out a win after starting the final quarter on a three-pointer by forward Shekinna Stricklen.
But Fever guard Layshia Clarendon and forward Marissa Coleman worked together to keep the score close. All-star Tamika Catchings scored 14 of her 16 points after the break.
Catchings' final two points, on a pair of free throws, moved her into third on the WNBA list of all-time scorers. Catchings (6,454 points) passed former Storm guard Katie Smith (6,452).
Stricklen led Seattle (9-20) with a season-high 20 points. She was the only Seattle player to reach double figures.

Pope Francis: The Contradictory Pontiff
On March 19, 2013, Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio of Buenos Aires, Argentina, was inaugurated as Pope Francis. At 76, he was not a leading candidate for the papacy, but his humility and optimism have been earning accolades. The new pope has also been raising eyebrows with his ascetic lifestyle and down-to-earth manner.
Pope Francis is the first pope from the Western Hemisphere, the first Jesuit pope, the first pope to take the name Francis, and the first pope to ask for prayers from the people before he blessed them. The Catholic community is eagerly expecting the unexpected from this new Bishop of Rome.

One Direction: LISTEN to how intelligent Niall Horan has become! Liam Payne & Harry Styles not so much!
OK, so we don't know if it is just the glasses or if Niall Horan has always been a bit of a brain box but we have to admit, we have been seriously impressed by the One Direction star this week.
Nialler always makes a big deal out of the fact that he left school at 16 years old, so doesn't have many of the same qualifications that lads his age have built up but from listening to a recent interview that he did in Auckland, we're not sure he needs them.
The Irish star shot to fame when he was still in the middle of his teenage years and has spent all his time since the middle of 2010 in a One Direction shaped bubble, however it sounds like he's been keeping up with his current affairs and keeping a finger on the pulse of real life outside his showbiz circles.
In a recent interview the 1D hunk and some of his bandmates were asked what they would do if they could become mayor of Auckland for a while.
The interviewer admitted herself she was expecting answers like 'I'd install a water slide down the main highway' but Nialler had some serious answers and said:
"I think we should start spending money. As natural resources go I think New Zealand is pretty good, I think we should start using money from our natural resources to up our transport system and also I think we could add a few more people to classes in school and maybe raise the wages for teachers."
How vey deep!
Liam Payne wasn't quite as realistic with his answer and said:
"We should build another bridge. We should build a high speed bridge to England from here."
It's not going to happen Payneo!
Niall was on a roll though and taking into consideration the very obvious pregnancy of his interviewer, he proved that he would be an effective politician and chose a topic close to her heart, adding:
"Also I think we should get a new maternity wing at the hospital, because we've got a baby coming"
Harry Styles hadn't got much to add in way of suggestions but he was clearly impressed by his pal and put it all down to Horan's new spectacle. Styles said:
"It's the glasses, when he gets some glasses he's like…."
Amazing, intelligent, coherent, insightful? Finish that sentence Harry!
Niall and his bandmates have left New Zealand this week and returned to Melbourne and very soon they will be wrapping up the final leg of their Take Me Home tour.
Horan sounds glad to be back in Australia, in the bosom of his cousins and Irish family (who relocated to Melbourne a few years ago) and he tweeted last night saying:
"Morning melbourne ! How are ya , ya se"
The boys will be performing once more this evening and he added:
"Ya ready for tonight?"
What do you think of Niall's political plans? Watch the video and leave your comments below….

I worked at Epsilon full-time (more than 5 years)
*There are some really smart people who are great to work with.
*A lot of flexibility in schedule and telecommuting isn't an issue (depending somewhat on your direct supervisor)
*the work is challenging, and in most cases there is a lot of collaboration across project teams and business groups
*almost impossible to change career paths within the organization
*significant cultural differences between US offices which can result in disparate work ethics and one group feeling that they pick up the slack for another
*terrible health insurance
*disconnect between what is sold and what really needs to be delivered, which results in very long hours for the project team
*little regard for the institutional knowledge of long-time employees. Very much a "what have you done for me lately" environment, in which people get let go regardless of their contribution, to meet a bottom line financial promise. Then new, less expensive replacements are brought in.
*if you're not a favorite of senior management, forget about advancing
*always willing to push a product to market before it is ready, and usually before a support model is in place.
*very focused on the bottom line and short-sighted in building loyalty among employees.
Stop telling employees how valuable they are and show them - through career opportunities, better recognition, and through respecting their ideas, their commitment, and their potential. Sr management likes to brag about how great the employees are, but the bulk of the people working there feel extremely undervalued. Walk down a hall of cubicles/offices and more than half of the people there are truly miserable.

So for some reason I have friends that like a "shock top" kind of beer. So I want to try to make one. Any ideas? and when do I add the orange peel, during the boil? What have you all tried?
I asked this a few weeks ago. Also ended up searching the Extract Brewing forum and the General Discussion forum keying in on "orange" and "zest". You will be able to find a lot of useful information if you read around.
I ended up adding zest at flame-out, by using a peeler to get larger zest peels making sure not to get any of the white portion (bitter tasting). This beer is still aging and won't be ready until March, will give feedback then. Good luck on your search. Cheers!
My Hoegaarden clone recipe had me adding dried bitter orange peels (from lhbs) at 10 minutes before flameout. Shocktop has a different orange profile, so it may be sweet orange peel (more common) and a much more pronounced orange flavor (almost as if OJ is added to the beer). I believe they add lime zest and corriander too.
You may want to add a small amount of crushed corriander at the last 10 minutes. Corriander seed is often available in the mexican aisle of the grocery store at a very affordable price. Crush it in a baggie immediately before adding.
"You cant be a real country unless you have a beer and an airline it helps if you have some kind of football team, or some nuclear weapons but at the very least you need a beer"
- Frank Zappa
I suggest flame out or in the last 5 minutes. The longer you boil the less aroma and flavor it will impart to the beer. If of boil for much longer than 5 or 10 minutes you will lose most of the benefit.
+1 to corriander. It adds a wonder orange flavor without the bitterness you get from orange peel. 2oz whole seeds in 3 gallons had a very pronounced aroma in a Hoegaarden clone I made recently.
The 2nd edition is now available: Brewing Engineering Woodland Brewing Research Blog Applied Science for Better Beer.
Size of the orange peel (surface area) also plays into how long you might want it to be exposed to the hot wort. If you are using fresh orange peel, cut it real thin/small and it won't require as much exposure time. Blah blah blah, I cast my vote for 5 minutes as a good generic time to use.
The hardest part of all-grain brewing is arguing about it on the interwebs.http://www.facebook.com/pages/Tims-C...9089362?ref=hl

"You really look like you are leaning out"....The receptionist at the gym said that to me today. I was like "excuse me?"...I didn't know what that meant, she had to explain, lol.
I felt good going in already because I had fit into a pair of workout pants that had been in the closet waiting for a few more pounds ...and they looked pretty good.
I still need to get some more cardio in . My trainer is working me harder everytime . I didn't even realize my heart could beat that hard.
He Took my measurements for the first time since I started in December. My waist is down about 7", hips about 4"....and it makes no logical sense at all but my thighs have either stayed the same or not budged ....too weird. I usually loose on my legs first . I am not complaining though. My legs were always thinner in proportion to the rest of me. ....so a good thing but it defies logic. Muscle takes up less space than fat ,that what I read .
He didn't measure around the bust but I had to buy some new bras to replace the ones I was floating in. Not too many women want bigger legs and smaller boobs..weird shape! but it's getting better !
Today's workout
treadmill warm up -5min @ 3.9mph 10'incline
dumbell chest press( on the ball ) 1st set (20lbs -20x)-too easy /2nd & 3rd set(25lbs-15x)
one-arm dumbell row 3sets-15x w. 25lbs(2)
stationary lunges 3 x 20
shoulder press 3x15 w. 20lbs

tricep pull down 3x15w. 20lb
high bench steps 3 x15 (2)
squats w.45lb weight on stability ball
up-right row 3-15x w. 20lb
side lying leg lift w.resistance 3x20(2)
I think there was some I forgot...and I may not have gotten the names right on a couple, but I know what I mean. I'm still learning . I will start writing them down immediately after. The workout moves too fast to do it during.
No strength training tomorrow but aiming for 45mins min of cardio.
Today, Here's to "leaning out" and looking good in form fitting work out pants!

Don't Kill Google Reader Petition On Pace For 75k Signatures In Under 24 Hours
A revolt is afoot. Since Google's announcement to close the popular Google Reader service 17 hours ago, loyal users have taken to a change.org petition in droves. Since being constructed by Dan Lewis 1 hour after the announcement, the petition has reached 76% of its goal toward 75,000 signatures:
The petition is averaging 3,570 signatures an hour which equates to a signature every second.
While there are other Google Reader Alternatives out there, the community is speaking out passionately against this early retirement. The petition itself includes some pretty poignant statements such as:
Our confidence in Google's other products — Gmail, YouTube, and yes, even Plus — requires that we trust you in respecting how and why we use your other products. This isn't just about our data in Reader. This is about us using your product because we love it, because it makes our lives better, and because we trust you not to nuke it.
So, please don't destroy that trust.
Most brands would love to have a problem like this — a product that is too popular to retire. Other sites like BringGoogleReaderBack.com are also trying to shed the light on the alleged injustice towards Google Reader as well:
We'll have to wait and see how Google reacts to this petition that is simply going gangbusters against their decision.
To view or sign, head on over to the Change.org – Google: Keep Google Reader Running petition.

Obama should issue an executive order that all federal agents will not be armed while they are on duty.Submitted by amc1953 on Mon, 01/14/2013 - 23:36
As horrible and disgusting as the school shooting in Newtown was,many more people were murdered by federal agents at Waco Texas in 1993. The agents who murdered 76 people including 21 children in Waco were not mentally ill. They were trained to be cold blooded killers by the federal government. They are responsible for the deaths of 76 people. If that is not sufficient proof that federal agents need to be disarmed, I don't know what is.I do believe that Obama has the authority to make rules for his employees so I don't think he would be violating the constitution if he had the agents go unarmed while on the job.

Hello, I am researching my G,G,G,Grandfather Andrew Dunlop (c1778 - 1 Oct 1851) of Garvagh, His wife was Jane and he had a daughter Elizabeth Dunlop (c1817 - 18 Apr 1901) who married My G,G,Grandfather James Jackson who was a Baker in Garvagh town.
Elizabeth had a brother Hugh Dunlop who was a Mercahant in Garvagh, I have not met any other relations to this family, I think all my Dunlops could be related to other Dunlop famillies in the Garvagh, Aghadowey, Kilrea areas.
Look forward to hearing from any relatives.

Fort Worth is launching a review of its master thoroughfare plan aimed at accommodating continued suburban growth and central city redevelopment with a greater variety of streets and more efficient traffic flow.
Longtime Fort Worth businessman, philanthropist and preservationist Holt Hickman died Nov. 15, 2014, at the age of 82.
A key linchpin in the Fort Worth economy, American Airlines Group Inc., is considering sites for a new headquarters, possibly outside the city, the airline's CEO said this morning.
Rarely does Golf Digest make the news. Leave it to Dan Jenkins to change that.
Residents of West Fort Worth's Crestwood Association are trying to block the rezoning of a small apartment complex at White Settlement Road and North Bailey Avenue to make way for a planned office building, saying it would represent the start of commercial encroachment into their neighborhood.

NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- American Airlines stock returned to Wall Street on Monday, emerging from bankruptcy after completing the merger with US Airways to form the world's largest airline company.
The merger of American Airlines and US Airways forms a company with more passengers than previous industry leader, United Continental Holdings, which itself was formed with a merger.
The deal cleared a series of legal hurdles, including an antitrust lawsuit this fall from the Justice Department and a last-minute challenge from a consumer group. It also had to win the approval of the bankruptcy judge overseeing the reorganization of AMR Corp, American's former parent company, which filed for bankruptcy in November 2011.
The airlines and Justice Department settled the antitrust suit last month, and the Supreme Court declined late Saturday to take up the challenge that the merger will lead to higher airfares and fewer choices for passengers.
The new American Airlines trades on the Nasdaq under the symbol AAL. Most of the shares were distributed to AMR's former creditors and US Airways shareholders. But in an unusual step for a company emerging from bankruptcy, American's former shareholders got 0.0665 share of AAL stock for each of their former shares of AMR, giving them just over 3% of the company.
The new shares rose more than 7% over Friday's close for US Air's shares. US Air's former shareholders received one share in the new company for each of their previous US Air shares.
Passengers likely will not see effects of the merger immediately. They will continue to book flights under the American Airlines and US Airways brands. Ticketing and frequent flier programs are expected to be combined -- at the earliest -- in 2014.
The first change that will be apparent to consumers will be a combination of the frequent flier programs at some point early in the year.
Doug Parker, the former US Air CEO who now heads the new company, told CNN on Monday that the deal will not cause a rise in fares, since only a fraction of the routes of the two carriers overlap.
But to secure the deal, the Justice Department required the airlines to give up some access at two major airports. The Justice Department said this would give opportunities to low-fare airlines.
Both Southwest and JetBlue will now expand flights at New York's LaGuardia and Washington, D.C.'s Reagan National airports. Southwest has already said it plans to add six round-trip flights between LaGuardia and yet-to-be-announced airports.
A 2012 study by PricewaterhouseCoopers found airfares "have not increased significantly" since 2004, when the first in a series of mergers produced the landscape of major carriers that exists today.
Still the combination leaves four U.S. airline companies, the new American, United Continental, Delta Air Lines and Southwest controlling more than 80% of the nation's air traffic. It was a series of five major mergers and seven separate bankruptcy filings in the U.S. airline industry since 2001 that have reshaped in industry.
Executives with American have argued the combination will help customers by providing a stronger combined network that can compete with the other mega-carriers, and deny the industry consolidation of the last 13 years has hurt consumers.
"We have antitrust laws we had to pass through...that will insure that any mergers...need to be competitive. This one certainly is," Parker told CNN. "I don't know if there are other large mergers in our future. What I know is we have a very competitive industry now."
But the combination could still pose problems for customers. There will be some routes with less competition and fares could rise, even if network-wide fare increases are limited. And service problems, such as lost bags, delayed or canceled flights and messed-up reservations, typically spike in the months immediately after airlines move to combine actual operations.
Parker said the airline decided to go slow with combining operations so as not to risk causing problems going into the holiday season.
American had returned to profitability even before the merger was completed. In July, it reported a record monthly profit.

Pilots, combat systems officers may be eligible for retention incentives
Printer-friendly versionPDF version
/ Published June 25, 2014
Related Biographies
Eligible active-duty pilots and combat systems officers have until Sept. 30 to apply for the fiscal year 2014 Aviator Retention Pay Program, Air Force officials said June 25.
"As we resize our force with the right balance of skills to meet Air Force mission requirements and continue to focus on retaining high-performing Airmen, ARP is a necessary hedge against external factors that could adversely impact the Air Force's rated inventory," said Brig. Gen. Brian Kelly, the director of force management policy.
This year, ARP provides specific eligible pilots and combat systems officers with monetary incentives in exchange for active-duty service commitments of five years, he said. Similar to the fiscal 2013 ARP program, fighter pilots are eligible for longer contracts of up to nine years.
Additionally, the program permits Airmen who will complete their undergraduate flying training active-duty service commitment anytime in fiscal 2015 to lock in a contract for next year. Aviators in this category were not included in past ARP programs, Kelley said.
"The Air Force's early sign-up option will contract aviators to a future service period before their current undergraduate flying training ADSC expires," Kelly said. "Kind of a bird-in-the-hand approach to ARP – since budget pressures and force dynamics have created such a fluid environment. Payments will not begin until after completion of the undergraduate flying training ADSC, but they will be guaranteed."
This year's ARP program applies to lieutenant colonels and below who will not reach 16 years of total active federal military service by the end of the fiscal year that their undergraduate flying training ADSC expires. Applicants must not be eligible for any voluntary or involuntary force management programs as of the implementation of the fiscal 2014 ARP program. Also, these officers must be qualified for operational flying duty and entitled to and receiving monthly flight pay.
Depending on the aviator category and length of the ARP contract, incentives will vary from $15,000 to $25,000 per year with some categories eligible to receive 50 percent of the ARP total payable up front.
"Aviator retention pay remains a viable and cost-effective method to help retain our experienced Air Force aviators and plays a huge role in sustaining a predictable inventory of well-trained rated officers to execute the Air Force's war-fighting mission," Kelly said.

One more for U.S. striker Jozy Altidore; his game-winner guides AZ Alkmaar to Dutch Cup glory
May 9, 2013, 3:05 PM EST
For the record, Jozy Altidore's Dutch club had already qualified for Europa League action next year, a significant achievement for a smaller club in a smaller European league.
But also for the record, it is still very, very cool that U.S. international Jozy Altidore has scored the game-winner for his team in attaining Dutch Cup glory, also a massive achievement for AZ Alkmaar.
AZ was underdog to PSV in Thursday's final of the Dutch Cup in Rotterdam. His first half goal provided the margin as the club went on to a 2-1 win, claiming its first Dutch Cup since 1982.
So the U.S. international's current club is bound for tournament play in the continent; the KNVB Cup winner gets a Europa League berth, although PSV already has one in pocked by virtue of its impending league finish. As for the man himself …
(MORE: Altidore unlikely to be available for early U.S. summer matches)
This was almost surely one of Altidore's final games for the lowland's club, where his career has taken off in ways that it did not during previous, far less productive stops at Spain's Villarreal and England's Hull City. AZ has one more match in league play (although there's an outside chance the club could still finish 8th and find itself in the Eredivisie playoffs.)
Either way, Altidore is elsewhere-bound this summer. And why shouldn't he be? With 31 goals across all competitions this year, the former New York Red Bull now has 50 goals in two years for AZ.
Don't forget, Altidore struck twice back in late February as AZ stunned heavily favored Dutch giant Ajax in the tournament semifinal:
Altidore's goal Thursday:

Depressing and Odd
The art style was distinct and the music captured the mood. Great animation. (By the way, just letting someone know that fast food is unhealthy doesn't make you a hippie, just health conscious.)
That I was eating a burger as I watched this. When the movie was done, I went and made another, just to spite the message. I liked the style your animation had, but leave your hippie protests at the door.
Loved it from start to finish.
It was... awesome. This kinda of stuff puts a smile on my face.
See? : D It's there.
I'm semi-anti fast-food too. Ever since my job at Braums I've had a growing disdain for all fast-food. Seeing how horribly they could be working things tends to change your appetite some.
Let's see... they shoved me on the grill the very first day with about a half-hour of introduction. I was also in charge of buttering and sending the buns through a heater/flattener. I was hired as a porter so I also did every single disgusting job that one normally doesn't want to do.
I got yelled at by the woman who only spoke Spanish for not slicing the rotten and unripe tomatoes as well. And there was a cockroach problem as well.
So yeah. I fairly well understand disgust of that food. I don't even think it should be called food anymore. I wasn't too fond, but tolerable of it before.
Back on topic, though, nice. I can understand the message well enough, and enjoyed your movie thoroughly. Even though I ranted awhile, that smile is still there.
Good job!
i loved it...absolutely loved it!
i dont have much to say other than...it's awesome...i sat glued to the screen through it...haha
keep em coming...ill watching anything you put on here!
Interesting movie, even though your perspective on fast food is a lil off course. But hell this is a review on your movie not my opinions.
To be quite honest I like this kind of work. Stick figures drug you down a bit, but it added to the style i think, since i saw that you actually COULD draw a body due to ronald and the king. It was demented, but not that demented. Your style was a saving grace. That style is done often by alot of flash artists, but not many do it in a gray scale, so it was well put together I think. Bravo overall, but theres room for improvement. Keep it up and you soon might join the ranks of the flash greats.

Kyra Sedgwick may be one of Hollywood's strongest women, but The Closer star says her path to self acceptance has not been easy. In the new issue of More, the 44-year-old admits to struggling with her body image as a young actress and reveals she still has food issues.
"[Food] has never been easy for me," Sedgwick says. She told the magazine that she developed eating disorder patterns after having to lose 20 pounds to play a Holocaust survivor in the 1985 film War and Love.
"I came back from that and it triggered something," she says. "I ate everything in sight. My weight went up and then too far down."
Sedgwick says that after a year of mood swings and being so hard on herself she decided to simply throw away her scale. "I'm so grateful that I don't get on a scale because it's never going to be the right number," she says.
Sedgwick married actor Kevin Bacon in 1988 and the couple had their first child together, son Travis, when the actress was just 23. Two years later they welcomed their daughter, Sosie, now 18, and Sedgwick entered therapy to work on her issues.
"I used to be so serious. My life was weighty, and my heart was heavy," she says. "When the kids were little, any joke made at my expense, I couldn't handle it. I've done a lot of interior work, embracing my mortality and knowing I'd better have a good time because I'm not going to go this way again."
She saw her therapist for nine years. But now, "I embrace my flaws and quirks and can laugh at myself. Having children, you're got to face your sh*t or be ruled by it," she explains.
As for their kids taking a stab at Hollywood, both Sedgwick and Bacon hope their children take different career paths.
"I don't want my kids to have all the rejection and pain and insecurity of this crazy business," she says.
Spending just about six months of the year away from their home in New York to film The Closer, Sedgwick says she marvels at how well Bacon handles the distance between them.
"Kevin has to share me with more of the world now than he signed up for," she says. "He did sign up for an actress, but my life has become bigger, and I've become more independent... he's been home a lot with the kids. I go to work, and sometimes at the end of the day, I'm too tired to have a really long conversation… To be able to count on someone like that, it moves me."
Do you think there's more pressure on Hollywood stars to be thin? Chime in below!

Salesforce.com Inc. rose to its highest in two months Monday after Piper Jaffray & Co. said the software company had signed the largest sales contract in its history.
The deal exceeds a $140 million sale to State Farm Life Insurance Co. Salesforce booked earlier this year, and is notable because it comes in the middle of its fiscal year, not in the fourth quarter, when many large transactions close, Piper Jaffray analyst Mark Murphy said in a note to clients Sunday. Salesforce is scheduled to report fiscal second-quarter earnings Aug. 23.
Shares of San Francisco-based Salesforce were up 3.8 percent at $145.15 at the close in New York, the highest since May 29, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. The shares have lost 9 percent from the end of a rally on April 19.
Salesforce, the biggest supplier of online customer management software, is adding programs for managing human resources and handling customer support and marketing on social media websites to its core software that tracks sales leads and quotas. The company, whose software is delivered through a Web browser, is diversifying beyond its base as competitors Oracle Corp. and SAP AG emulate its business model.
Salesforce and Workday Inc., which sells online HR and accounting software, have been winning deals against Oracle and SAP in recent months, selling clients on the lower costs of renting software on a monthly or annual basis, instead of installing and maintaining it themselves.
"The unprecedented cluster of multi-year mega-deals for Salesforce.com likely signifies a changing of the guard in the enterprise software industry," Murphy wrote in his note.
Andrew Schmitt, a spokesman for Salesforce, didn't immediately return a call seeking comment.
Tomorrow, Salesforce is expected to unveil a new version of its Chatter business-networking software called Chatter Communities for bringing customers, partners and employees into online conversations, two people familiar with the matter said.

Clay And Dale Talk Buffalo Sports On CW-23′s 'Winging It' [Video]
Clay and Dale visit with CW'23's 'Winging It' and talk Sabres and Bills.

A new contract between Ford and the UAW brings good news to the Woodlawn plant. It'll mean $136-million in new investments in the local plant. Ford also plans to recall 120 laid-off workers and create 400 new jobs at the plant.
I couldn't be more excited for this season of Buffalo Sabres hockey. It's apparent how much has already been put into this team and I'm looking to see what Terry Pegula gets out of them. It looks like Drew Stafford has been working hard this summer. Here's a quick video to show you a little of what he does to get himself in shape for the games. (Try not to laugh)...
The Buffalo Sabres scored all of their goals in the third period to win their preseason opener 3 to 1 last night at First Niagara Center. Linemates Paul Gaustad, Nathan Gerbe and Patrick Kaleta all found the net to send the sell-out crowd home happy.
The Buffalo Sabres' season is right around the corner and crews are working around the clock to get the new Sabres' locker room ready for the home opener on October 14th against the Carolina Hurricanes.
There are many different ways pro sports teams decide on a nickname. Many are decided by suggestions from the fans. Some by the teams' geographic location. Some just by the whim of the owner. Among the teams in the NBA the Seattle Supersonics were named after a supersonic jet proposed by the Seattle-based Boeing Company in the late 1960's - a jet that was never built.
It's hard to hold back excitement for the Buffalo Sabres. They get a new owner and it's like a breath of fresh air. Suddenly the arena is getting updates, it's even got a new name, players are waiving no trade clauses to come here, and they've taken the excitement that we already had for our beloved Sabres and amped it up to 11. Wednesday, they gave some fans a new reason to get excited.
It was first called 'Crossroads Arena'. Then in 1996 its name was changed to 'Marine Midland Arena'. Three years later in 1999 the name changed to 'HSBC Arena' and now the building that The Buffalo Sabres call home is going to be called something else again.
This is really exciting, Mary Wall a writer/producer that has worked on the NBC TV show "The Office" is creating a documentary about Buffalo Sabres fans! I love when I hear about a project that makes Buffalo and western New York look good
Buffalo has had some of the greatest sports memories in recent history. Who can forget the incredible come back game between the Bills led by Frank Riech and the Houston Oilers. Unfortunately most of our memories involving sports in Western New York are not something we care to remember
Sabres owner, Terry Pegula, is taking names and kicking...well, you know. Since his arrival the King of Sabreland has installed hope and excitement all throughout this team and city. He wants to win. BAD. The King has proved it again yesterday that he is indeed ready to rock and roll.

Food for meditation
Bhakti is fast becoming the best source of free vegetarian food on campus. As Ajay Mangal, CC '10, remarked, "If you're allergic to delicious, this [Bhakti] isn't the place for you." However, Bhakti is about more than food—it is also one of Columbia's strongest spiritual communities.
Two beloved Hare Krishna monks run the club: Dave, who never fails to throw in a joke, and Pandit, a true sage and father figure. Although some students might be initially worried about the strange orange outfits these monks don, their open-minded approach to all backgrounds, all belief systems, and all faiths quickly breaks down these barriers. Bhakti reaches in seconds what it sometimes takes years to achieve in diversity training: a safe environment that is free of judgment, allowing students to be themselves, without stress. It's kind of refreshing after spending time on the campus of, reportedly, the country's second-most-stressful university, in the midst of the world's busiest city.
Students put up walls—through habits, silence, or attitude—when stressed. After Bhakti removes the cause, a flood of pent up emotions, feelings, and ideas rush out that most of us don't even realize are there. Bhakti gets students talking about hushed issues like mortality, anger, or fear, without generating the heat of debate or pushing a religion.
Bhakti's voice in the exchange of ideas is meaningful. In addition to offering a safe environment, Dave and Pandit offer a perspective relatively unknown to the typical westernized student. The level of difference in worldview is epitomized by Krishna, the supreme deity of this sect of Hinduism. He is not portrayed as a martyr suffering for human sins, nor is he spiteful or angry; rather, Krishna is always smiling and often portrayed dancing and playing a flute. This contrast effectively opens the minds of students and offers an alternative way of looking at life, which is invaluable, regardless of one's personal belief system. Students are trying out more than just new food—they're trying out a new mindset.
Minds are not just opened by Bhakti—they're also strengthened through meditation. Every Thursday morning, students are invited to a 7 a.m. meditation session, followed by breakfast. The monks recommend that everyone meditate every day and warn against the dangers of an untrained and unfocused mind. Practicing daily meditation reduces stress and chance of illness, while improving sleeping habits and the ability to concentrate. Meditation instruction is the most useful service offered by Bhakti because it is almost never taught in the western tradition.
Yoga is another strong program offered by Bhakti. Although yoga is now one of the more popular forms of exercise in the States, the form most commonly practiced is westernized and has lost touch with many of the tradition's original values. As Pandit explains, yoga is not just exercise—it literally means "union with the divine." Though yoga classes are common in New York City and even on campus, few maintain the spiritual approach that is so essential to proper practice of the exercises.
I suppose I might have been intimidated myself if I'd known beforehand about all of Bhakti's spiritual activities. All I knew—like most of us, I suppose—was that there was a vegetarian cooking class on Tuesday nights. Upon discovering just how delicious this food was, I started coming every week.
But even those who only attend meetings for the free food inadvertently reap the benefits of Bhakti. "One way we express love for others is by cooking for one another. At every Bhakti meal, we show love to each other through cooking, but also to Krishna by offering food to the divine," says Pandit. Eating is essential to life, and when practiced with a vegetarian's reverence for life and a respect for a higher power, strengthens the community and the connection with the divine and is thus another form of yoga. Perhaps it is these qualities that make the food prepared during Bhakti especially delicious and warming.
Bhakti is a celebration of life and peace. It's a chance to slow down, eat, and ponder life's mysteries—something that we tend to cut out of our schedules as we become increasingly ambitious. As the programs continue to flourish, one thing is becoming clear: students come for nourishment of the body and stay for nourishment of the soul.

This week IF proved they manipulate the rankings'by mistake, they published 3 articles tagging Drashti. Lo and behold, she received over 2300 comments on her solo article and over 1000 comments each on the other 2 articles. IF admins realized this would upset current rankings so they went about "fixing" the issue. Suddenly, they brought about a rule to delete MIDs, spam & duplicate comments resulting in pages and pages of comments for Drashti being reduced- 900 (from 2300 to 1400) for her solo article and 300 & 400 each for the other 2 articles. A token amount of 200-300 comments were also reduced from other actors articles but nothing compared to Drashti's!
Fans Numbers...so IF you would have us believe that a person with 13000+ fans, would after deleting MIDs be left with 7000 fans only!! so almost half the fans were MIDs...and why should we believe that? What a way to bridge the gap!!! havent seen anything so corrupt and random that its almost ridiculous!!!! well, if your system can be so majorly manipulated, just scrap the crappy system!!!!!
IF, since you are so scared of Drashti toppling your rankings, wouldnt it be best you remove her profile entirely from the Tv celebs. Then you wouldn't have to resort to unfair means to fix rankings to keep your favs on top. Although must say, you do the biggest disservice to these actors as it is clear now that without manipulation they wouldn't be topping your rankings.
To all those who keep bashing Drashti fans and call them obsessive, IF's arbitrary action this week was proof enough of its bias and manipulation. Something, we have been protesting about for a long time only to be bashed repeatedly. Agreed, Drashti's popularity and success dont depend on IF or its rankings. Infact, I doubt IF is important in any actor's scheme of things. But, to us members, who spend considerable time on this forum, thereby improving this forum's earnings, its a breach of trust. IF is most welcome to openly rank actors as per their assessment but then, pls stop calling it a democratic assessment done on the basis of fan activity and feedback''we all know by now, that's sooo not true. !!!

Recent advances in the pharmacology of sedative drugs have expanded their use in the intensive care unit. Indications and endpoints for sedation, however, often are defined poorly and are difficult to assess. Nevertheless, the complications of sedative drug administration are real. New indications for sedation have been proposed in recent years, including enforcing sleep/wake cycles, manipulating cellular metabolism, and preventing myocardial ischemia. The evidence supporting the efficacy of these new indications is not yet complete.

Money & costs
Within Mongolia, travellers on organised tours spend around US$100 per day (more for extra luxuries). Independent travellers can see the same sights and stay in midrange accommodation for around US$80 per day. Sharing the cost of a private jeep or minivan and camping rather than staying in more-expensive ger camps can bring this down to about US$25 to US$40 per day. If you are hitching and using public transport around the countryside, allow about US$10 to US$15 per day for this.
Accommodation and food will cost at least US$10 per day in Ulaanbaatar, but allow up to US$20 per day for half-decent accommodation, some tastier, Western-style meals and trips to the theatre and museums.
The Mongolian unit of currency is the tögrög (T), which comes in notes of T5, T10, T20, T50, T100, T500, T1000, T5000, T10, 000 and T20, 000. (T1 notes are basically souvenirs.) There are also T50 and T100 coins. The highest-value note is worth around US$17.
Banks and exchange offices in Ulaanbaatar will change money with relative efficiency. Banks in provincial centres are also fine; they change dollars and give cash advances against debit and credit cards. However, since they are so remote it's still a good idea to leave the capital with enough cash to keep you going for a week or so.
When paying out large sums of money (to hotels, tour operators and sometimes airlines) its fine to use either US dollars or tögrögs. Other forms of currency aren't usually accepted, although the euro is probably second best. Cash offers the best exchange rates and you won't be paying any commission charge, but for security purposes you can also use debit cards (travellers cheques are going the way of the dinosaur).
Moneychangers who hang around the markets may or may not be legal. They offer the best rates for US dollars and are usually safe, but the risks are obvious. Remember to change all your tögrög when leaving the country as it's worthless elsewhere.
The Trade and Development Bank has plonked down ATMs at a few key locations in Ulaanbaatar, Darkhan and Erdenet. These ATMs accept Visa and MasterCard and work most of the time, allowing you to withdraw up to T400, 000 per day. Because most of the Golomt Bank branches are open 24 hours, they don't have ATMs (just give your card to the teller). Ordinary ATM cards issued from your bank at home probably won't work; try to get a 'debit' card linked to your bank account. It should be associated with a credit card company.
Credit cards
You can't rely on plastic for everything, but credit cards are becoming more widely accepted in upmarket hotels, travel agencies and antique shops. Most of these, however, charge an additional 3% if you use a credit card. Banks can give cash advances off credit cards, often for no charge if you have Visa, but as much as 4% with MasterCard.
