Erfahrungsbericht zum Einsatz von Eclipse Model 2 Model Transformation mit ATL In einem Validierungsframework für Modelle
Dr. Oscar Slotosch, CEO of Validas AG
Abstract: The need for the application of validation suites for tools that may be used in safety critical processes that conform to international standards like ISO26262, DO178b,IEC61508 is growing, especially if the output of the tools shall be trusted, e.g. code generators, target compiler, or test tools.
In the talk a method is presented that systematically generates input and expected output values for tools with corresponding ecore models (reengineered or developed) in Eclipse EMF. The specification of the models in the validation suites is done using a DSL (based on xText), the generation of the tests is done using M2M (ATL). The end of the tests is determined using a model-projection mechanism that shows that all elements of the model that are used in reference projects have been tested. The method has been successfully applied by Validas AG to build two different validation suites for different code generators of leading modelling tools used in automotive sector. Further information is published at www.validas.de
Dr. Oscar Slotosch, Born 1966, Munich, Phd in Computer Science (Formal Methods), Leader of the award-winning academic case-tool AutoFOCUS, Founder and CEO of Validas AG, Expert for model-based development, model-based testing and Code-Generators.
Visual Tools for Analysis of Embedded Applications
Dr. Fridtjof Siebert CTO, aicas GmbH, Germany
Abstract: This presentation will explain visual tools for the analysis of embedded and time-critical applications. Short live demos will give an insight into the use of these tools during everyday development. The tools that will be shown are VeriFlux and aicas ThreadMonitor. VeriFlux is a JVM independent static analysis tool for Java thatperforms a program-wide analysis using abstract interpretation. As results, it finds possible run-time exceptions or deadlocks.Several views are used to browse through these errors: A source-code centric view highlights errors at package, class, method, source-codeand byte-code level, while a problem-centric view enables browsing through the errors detected and zooming down to the corresponding source positions. aicas ThreadMonitor enables remote recording of events that occur ina JVM running on an embedded device. These events include thread-switches, Java monitors, garbage-collection, user events, etc. The time-scale of these events ranges from hundreds of nanoseconds up to seconds or minutes, such that data at timeresolutions that are many orders of magnitude apart need to be displayed properly. The techniques used for the visualization andbrowsing through this data will be demonstrated together with specific tools such as worst-case execution time determination froma run-time measurement.
Dr. Siebert received his Diploma (MSc) in computer science at theUniversity of Stuttgart, Germany, in 1997. He worked for 2 years asa research engineer on compilation and optimization for embeddedJava at the The Open Group research institute in Grenoble, France. In 2001, he received his PhD at the University of Karlsruhe on thesubject of real-time garbage collection for Java. This technology became the basis of the JamaicaVM real-time Java implementation. Dr. Siebert is one of the founding partners of aicas GmbH that develops and distributes Java tools VeriFlux and JamaicaVM. He is Chief Technology Officer at aicas and technical leader of the JEOPARD project that addresses multicore real-time systems.
eTrice: a proposed Eclipse project for embedded MDD based on ROOM
Thomas Schuetz, Protos Software GmbH
Abstract: The proposed Eclipse project called eTrice is introduced. It will be pointed out why ROOM (Real-Time Object Oriented Modeling, Bran Selic et al.) is better suited for the modelling of embedded systems than UML2 - despite the fact that ROOM inspired some new concepts in UML2 like ports and composite structure diagrams. eTrice will not only deliver a ROOM meta-model but also state of the art tooling support with complete code generation in C, C++ and Java. An easily portable run time framework for each supported language and exemplary Hardware/OS combinations are also in the scope of the project.
Thomas Schuetz holds a degree in aerospace engineering of the University of Munich. He is CEO and consultant of Protos Software, which he founded in 1997. Many projects since, in which he served as project lead or architect, could benefit from his in-depth knowledge of model-based development for Embedded Systems.
Morpheus: the first telematics IDE based on Eclipse
Francois Robert
Abstract: Mobile Devices main goal is to provide to telematics field an easy way to add an modify features arising from demand. Based on the existing fully functional MCT SDK, Morpheus provides a full telematics IDE for our products using a large set of Eclipse technologies & frameworks. In the presentation, we'll see how we used EMF technology to provide userfriendly editors based on SWT. A GUI editor based on GEF is one of our prior challenge for this IDE, it creates EMF generated XML files that are transformed using XSL into Java classes to reduce users interaction. For testing purpose, and as we speak of embedded software, we created a device simulator plugged into Eclipse Debug tools.
Scaling configuration management: from single embedded device deployment to fully customized multi-customer, multi-device software. A case study
Abstract: In this talk I will show the path we took from an initial application that ran on a specific embedded platform to a software solution that allows the management of customer configurations and supports software packaging and deployment on a whole range of embedded platforms. This talk is a case study of the path we took from from configurable software to customized software.
The following applications were developed by MicroDoc GmbH for SkiData AG.
The initial application is called DEI (Device Enabling Interface) and it is an OSGi, embedded Java application that runs on an ARM, embedded-Linux platform. DEI is a hardware centric framework for running Skidata specific components called Modules, Protocols and Ports. A good example for a Module is a RFID reader, a Protocol can be CRC32, a Port implementation can be USB, and so on. DEI controlls the lifecycle, configuration and interaction of the various components and offers services like lookup and automatic discovery to the application.
The next step is called MDM (Multi Device Management). MDM deals with devices in a N:1 relation instead of a 1:1 relation as it is the case in DEI. Due to the fact that 3rd party equipment often doesn't have enough resources to run DEI on-board, the DEI is run outside of the device on a hardware instance that is powerful enough to run all the necessary instances of DEI.
The final step is called SCM (Software Configuration Management) and addresses the typical problems that arise in a multi-customer, multi-device environment: the management the lifecycle of software components, the management of customer configurations, the packaging and deploying of software compilations. A software compilation is a software distribution consisting of several customized software components, which can be deployed on a device.
I am a senior software engineer at MicroDoc GmbH in Munich and I was involved in the introduction of TDD within the MicroDoc development process. I have experience in tools development and automation techniques, in the embedded as well as the enterprise domains
Developing Smart Home Systems by using OSGi and Plug Computers
Dimitar Valtchev, CTO ProSyst Software
Abstract: There is a growing interest in using OSGi in residential products such as home gateways and intelligent home control panels, but the production of these devices have often required significant development and marketing resources. The availability of extensible, high-performance, always-on, and environmentally friendly computing units like Plug Computer makes the realization of OSGi-based use cases much more attractive to developers and consumers. This session covers :
- OSGi and Plug Computer: architecture and benefits overview
- Getting started with OSGi on Plug Computer
- Development/tuning tips
- Demonstration including the development, deployment and profiling of a simple smart home application
Dimitar Valtchev is Chief Technology Officer of ProSyst Software which offers several OSGi and Eclipse based products. His main interests are in the fields of embedded systems, device management, and distributed computing. Currently Dimitar is involved in numerous residential,automotive and mobile projects using the OSGi technology.
Lessons Learned und die Vorteile des Einsatzes von textuellen domänenspezifischen Modellen auf Basis von Open Source-Tools
Abstract: Textuelle domänenspezifische Sprachen sind ein starker Trend in der Software-Entwicklung. Welche Lessons-Learned macht ein mittelständisches Unternehmen bei der Einführung von modellbasierter Software-Entwicklung für Embedded Systems? In diesem Talk werden an Hand eines realen Projekts die Lessons Learned und die Vorteile des Einsatzes von textuellen domänenspezifischen Modellen auf Basis von Open Source-Tools erörtert. Gerade im Embedded Bereich wird Modellierung noch mit ineffizienter Implementierung in Verbindung gebracht. Mit neuen Modellierungstechniken ist dies jedoch nicht der Fall. Die Referenten werden darüber sprechen, wie sich die Einführung auf Anforderungsmanagement, Projektplanung, Design und Implementierung auswirken. Somit wird modellgetriebene Software-Entwicklung nicht nur vom technischen Standpunkt der Werkzeuge betrachtet, sondern aus einer gesamthaften Projektsicht.
Eclipse Anwendungen mit DITA dokumentieren
Gunthilde Sohn, isntictools GmbH
Abstract: Dokumentation ist wichtiger Bestandteil professionell entwickelter Anwendungen. Unser Vortrag zeigt, wie die Eclipse RCP Anwendungen auf Basis des DITA Standards effizient dokumentiert werden können. Es wird auf verfügbare freie und kommerzielle Dokumentationstools im Eclipse Umfeld eingegangen. Ausserdem wird gezeigt, wie Entwicklungs- und Dokumentationsprozess speziell im Bereich der Eclipse Anwendungsentwicklung syncronisiert werden können.
Testing embedded graphical user interfaces – friend or foe?
Abstract: Automated graphical user interface tests are widely used for end user desktop applications – but what about testing user interfaces for embedded devices? This talk will take a look at test design for small mobile graphical user interfaces (such as eSWT, eRCP) and will point out common obstacles and solutions in this advanced environment. Furthermore this talk will demonstrate inside project knowledge of eSWT and eRCP development for mobile devices as well as a basic overview of the competitors: Android and iPhone OS. The audience will get an introduction to automated testing on embedded devices combined with a handson demonstration of different embedded testing environments.
Markus is a software developer and tester at BREDEX GmbH. His main areas of expertise are the design and maintenance of automated tests and Eclipse RCP development. He is one of the core team developers for the automated test tool GUIdancer and holds a Diplom (German degree) in Computer Science from the University of Applied Sciences in Braunschweig.
Sphinx – an Industrial Strength Tool Platform Fostering Model-driven Development of Embedded Systems
Abstract: It is a known fact that embedded system complexity doesn't stop increasing and model-driven software development turns more and more out to be an adequate approach to keeping this complexity under control. But it is still a major hassle to provide corresponding integrated tool environments which are sufficiently domain-oriented, scalable, and robust. Eclipse as an open and extensible tool platform is a very good starting point but not a solution per se. The Eclipse Modeling Project provides many of the additionally required building blocks but is very fragmented and not up to the point where it could provide the level of tool support embedded system designers expect. The recently proposed Sphinx project is meant to significantly improve this situation. It will be seeded with code from Artop – a platform for creating modeling tools supporting the AUTOSAR standard which has already been deployed at several larger automotive companies. Complementary building blocks will come from the Papyrus project. Sphinx will provide a modeling tool platform enabling IDE-like tool support for specific modeling languages to be developed at reasonable effort and cost. It will leverage and foster the industrial strength known from Artop and head towards a domain- and vendor-independent interoperability layer (backbone) for modeling tools of any kind.
Stephan Eberle works as product development manager at Geensys in France. He leads the development of the core parts in the Artop open source project (www.artop.org) which provides reusable building blocks for Eclipse-based AUTOSAR design tools used in automotive software engineering. He is also committer for the Teneo component in EMF, EMF Search in EMFT, and will be co-lead of the recently announced Sphinx project under MDT. Stephan holds a Ph.D. in Engineering and a Diploma degree in Electrical Engineering, both from the University of Stuttgart (Germany).
Frischer Wind aus der Linux community umweht embedded Software Entwickler
Janos Koppany, CEO Intland Software GmbH
Abstract: Das von Linus Torwalds für die Linux Betriebssystementwicklung konzipierte Distributed Version Control System gewinnt unter Software Entwicklern eine zunehmend größere Popularität. Bedingt dadurch, dass Entwickler oftmals an die Grenzen bei herkömmlichen Version Control Systemen stoßen, suchen sie Alternativen als Ersatz für veraltete zentralisierte Systeme.
Immer mehr Anwender, die Linux-Komponenten im embedded Bereich verwenden oder Android-basierende Systeme entwickeln, steigen von herkömmlichen Version Control Systemen um und verwenden Git oder Mercurial, um Entwicklungsprozesse zu vereinfachen sowie Support- und Wartungskosten zu reduzieren.
Die neuesten Distributed Version Control Systeme weisen gegenüber der älteren Generation von High-End Version Control Systemen mehr und wesentlich verbesserte Funktionalitäten auf: Komplexe Prozesse werden mit deutlich niedrigerem Verwaltungsaufwand zu signifikant reduzierten Gesamtkosten abgebildet.
In einer Live-Präsentation stellen wir den Entwicklungsprozess eines geografisch verteilten Teams vor, das Eclipse und Mercurial anwendet. Unser Vortrag fokussiert dabei klar die wesentlichen Herausforderungen wie Kosten und Komplexität, mit denen Anwender beim Einsatz konventioneller Version Control Systeme konfrontiert sind und stellt die erzielbaren Assets heraus, die der Einsatz eines Distributed Version Control Systems im Vergleich zu konventionellen zentralisierten Version Control Systemen bietet.

Would you ever enter into an open relationship?
An Open Relationship
Gone are the days when relationships were conventional; now they are easy going. An open relationship is a pact between two people who don't have to be sexually exclusive to each other and may establish relationships with others. From a non-sexual perspective, an open relationship is where both partners don't keep secrets, including their past relationships and sexual experiences. (Image source:Getty)Loading...
The Perception
An open relationship is mainly seen as 'no morals and no true feelings' type of an entanglement. Most people get the wrong idea about open relationships. Owing to this reason, open relationships are often hidden. Irrespective of what society's view is, open relationships do work; like other relationships it has its pros and cons. (Image source:Getty)
Do Open Relationships Work?
Communication makes it work! There is no chance of an open relationship to work when there is no communication. You aren't completely devoted to your partner, but a healthy dialogue is important for the intimate bond between the two. (Image source:Getty)
The Rules
Just like monogamous relationships, open relationship too have certain rules and conditions. The common rules of an open relationship are to be honest, practice safe sex, maintain respect and be comfortable. If you want to enter into an open relationship, discuss with your partner what kind of relationship you want to have and listen to what they want from you. (Image source:Getty)
Safe Sex
When you are in an open relationship, always practice safe sex. You are responsible for your partner. Be cautious; don't bring home the risk of sexually transmitted disease. (Image source:Getty)
Keeping Jealousy under Control
People entering into an open relationship should have no issues like jealousy. If jealousy arises at any point of time, you must talk it out with your partner. If you ignore jealousy, there could be problems down the road. (Image source:Getty)
The Commitment
Yes, there is a commitment in an open relationship! It is whether you and your partner are really committed to an open relationship. The pact can only work when both agree wholeheartedly and create a non-threatening environment where both can express their true selves. (Image source:Getty)
Do you want it?
Open relationship is not for everyone. You need to think why you want an open relationship. If you are sure that you can be in the one, considering all the pros and cons, then only you can go a long way in such a relationship. (Image source:Getty)

Car Review
2013 Lexus LS 460 F Sport: New Car Review Video
Lexus, Toyota's premium brand, debuted the first generation Lexus LS sedan in 1989. At that time German luxury brands, including Mercedes-Benz and BMW, dominated the upscale sedan segment of the automotive landscape and Lexus really shook things up by offering a less-expensive, but more refined vehicle. Since then, the Lexus LS sedan has been a thorn in the side of those German powerhouses.
On the outside, the 2013 Lexus LS offers a new spindle grille, optional all LED exterior lighting and an aggressive creased hood. These new features really improve the aesthetics as compared to previous models, as they have been rather bland in the styling department in comparison to its European counterparts. Even though two wheel bases are offered, both share similar body lines unless one opts for the LS 460 F Sport, the first sport version of the flagship model LS.
The 2013 LS can be found in four trim levels: the base LS 460, the long-wheelbase LS 460L, the LS 600h L Hybrid and finally the LS 460 F Sport, which was mentioned above.
Once seated inside the new Lexus LS, the word serene comes to mind. The Lexus engineers have gone above and beyond to reduce the level of interior noise in the new LS, including fitting the wheels with internal air chambers that block unwanted road noise. You might not even appreciate the quiet ride because of the optional Mark Levinson Premium Audio system that produces concert-quality sound!
Unless you go for the top-of-the-line options, some might be disappointed by the semi-gloss soft plastic on the dash that is found on the standard LS 460. Optional interior features contain Shimamoku wood trim for the LS 460 or the genuine aluminum trim found in the F Sport, while optional technology that can be found in any trim version includes Blind Spot Monitoring with Rear Cross-Traffic Alert and a Pre-Collision System with Adaptive Cruise Control.
The engine found under the hood of the 2013 Lexus LS 430 is the same 4.6-litre V8 engine offered in the last generation model, but it does offer slightly more power for the rear wheel drive version for a total of 386 horsepower. All-wheel drive is optional for the LS, but power is rated at just 380 hp. Both drivetrains do come with a really smooth 8-speed automatic transmission; however, the LS F Sport trim comes with a reprogrammed transmission computer that automatically blips the throttle on downshifts when in manual mode for instant pleasure.
As for fuel economy, this big land yacht might surprise you with a 16 miles per gallon city/24 mpg highway range thanks to the 8-speed transmission. Fuel economy will be slightly less with the all-wheel-drive model.
The base price of the 2013 LS 460 model is $71,990. While that price does include a generous helping of standard features, if you're interested in the radical F Sport, with the lowered suspension and Brembo brakes up front, that number goes beyond $85,000. All LS trims do come with a 6-year/70,000 mile warranty.
Current competition for the LS includes familiar faces like the Mercedes S-Class and BMW 7-series. Also, new as of late to the upscale sedan segment are both the Audi A7 and A8, which both have models and trims that compete price wise to the LS 460.
There is not a lot to complain about with the Lexus LS 460 thanks to its great standard features, excellent build quality and available F-Sport version, unless the price is outside your budget. No matter what, this premium sedan has the ability to rival its European counterparts any day of the week.

Fortuna Dusseldorf are relegated to the second league after being crushed 3-0 by Hannover at the AWD Arena.
Steven Cherundolo provided Mame Biram Diouf with a fine pass in the 36th minute and the striker prevailed against the F95 defense before nutmegging Fabian Giefer to give his side the lead.
Halfway into the second half, Didier Ya Konan extended the lead by slotting the ball into the empty net, after he got provided with a perfectly timed pass by Diouf.
And, in the 76th minute, Ya Konan scored a double by accurately placing an effort into the short corner of Giefer's target.
H96 finished ninth in the league, while Norbert Meyer's men have no chance of staying in Germany's top-flight as they reside 17th after Hoffenheim performed a late comeback to beat Borussia Dortmund and leapfrog Dusseldorf in the standings.
Thanks to a late Stefan Kiessling strike, Champions League-qualified Bayer Leverkusen were able to conclude their fine season with a 1-0 win over Hamburg at the Imtech Arena.
Die Rothosen were eager to put their stamp on the match and held Leverkusen for 90 minutes of the match with a great display of fighting spirit.
However, when the match hit injury-time, Sidney Sam delivered the ball to this season's Bundesliga top-scorer Kiessling, who then fired into the lower-hand corner of the target from 15 yards out.
Leverkusen finished second and are now looking forward to playing in the Champions League next term, while Hamburg occupy seventh positon and therefore will miss out on playing in the Europa League.
A 2-2 home draw against Wolfsburg proved to be enough for Eintracht Frankfurt to qualify for the Europa League next term.
In the eighth minute, a corner for the guests was fetched by an unmarked Jan Polak, who seized his opportunity to tap in for the 1-0.
And after a great chance for Frankfurt, die Wolfe moved quickly into a counterattack in the 19th minute, extending their lead courtesy of Brazilian playmaker Diego.
However, before the break, die Adler got one back when Alexander Meier stepped up for a penalty and slotted the ball in the right corner with Diego Benaglio opting for the left.
Finally, an own goal by Ricardo Rodriguez saved the hosts a point, as they will now relish their chance of impressing in the Europa League as well.
Nurnberg defeated Werder Bremen, who recently parted with coach Thomas Schaaf, with a 3-2 win at the Grundig Stadion.
Zlatko Junuzovic passed into Kevin De Bruyne's path in the 37th minute and the Belgian talent coolly dinked the ball over Raphael Schafer.
After the break, however, the hosts restored parity when Marvin Plattenhardt found Per Nilsson with a corner. The Sweden defender headed on to the post, but then fired in the rebound without thinking twice.
Then, another corner in the 81th minute saw der Club take the lead. Again, Mak took it and found Sebastian Polter this time, who headed home.
Mak then provided his second assist when he crossed to Thomas Pekhart to tap in and, a minute later, De Bruyne completed a double to make it 3-2 to the visitors.
With the result, Nurnberg finished 10th while Werder Bremen sit 14th.
Points were shared between Stuttgart and Mainz as the teams drew 2-2 at the Mercedes-Benz Arena.
An early Nicolai Muller-inspired attack saw the ball ending up on Chinedu Ede's feet, who did not hesitate to blast in his first and only goal of the campaign.
The Swabians, however, were gifted the equaliser in the 22th minute, when Christian Wetklo tried to disarm a cross by Martin Harnik, but instead directed it into his own goal.
Ten minutes later, VFB turned the match in their favour thanks to a fine shot by Artur Boka, but Muller was able to level the score shortly after.
In conclusion, Stuttgart and Mainz both dropped down from their previous positions and now occupy the 12th and 13th spots respectively.
In the Bavarian derby, Augsburg recorded a crucial 3-1 victory over already-relegated Greuther Furth at the SGL Arena.
In the 30th minute, a free-kick from the half-right position by Tobias Werner saw the hosts taking the lead, which was doubled by Jan-Ingwer Callsen Bracker via header after another set-piece.
After the break, starting-XI debutant Florian Trinks scored a consolation for the visitors by making the best out of a poorly cleared ball.
But finally, in the 75th minute, Dong-Won Ji was able round off the afternoon's score by rocketing an impressive shot into die Fuggerstadter's target.
Thanks to the result, Augsburg saved themselves from relegation.

Energy Department Awards NREL Staff for Exceptional Achievement
May 21, 2013
Each year at the Annual Merit Review and Peer Evaluation Meeting, the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE's) Hydrogen and Fuel Cells Program presents "Program Awards" for contributions to overall program efforts and "Sub-Program Awards" to recognize achievements in specific areas. This year, the Hydrogen and Fuel Cells Program honored four National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) staff for their outstanding achievements. See the full list of award winners.
Hydrogen Production – Chris Ainscough and Kevin Harrison
This award recognizes NREL's Kevin Harrison and Chris Ainscough for their exemplary dedication and commitment to research and analysis of integrating wind power and hydrogen production. The NREL wind-to-hydrogen team—through noteworthy partnerships with Xcel Energy, Proton OnSite, Giner Inc., and other industry partners—has produced valuable data on electrolyzer performance and first-of-its-kind analysis to characterize the performance and costs of integrated renewable electrolysis systems. Their work has provided essential technical groundwork for further investigation of producing hydrogen from variable renewable sources such as wind and solar, and for the use of hydrogen for energy storage. They have demonstrated their dedication on multiple occasions—most notably in their efforts to meet DOE milestones by working round the clock to overcome unforeseen weather, equipment supply, and technical challenges. In addition to their many technical contributions, Kevin and Chris have also been proactive in their outreach on behalf of hydrogen and fuel cell technologies, providing information and technical assistance to numerous individuals, industry groups, and state organizations.
Hydrogen Storage – Philip Parilla
This award recognizes Philip Parilla of NREL and Karl Gross of H2 Technology Consulting for their vital contributions to standardizing measurement of the hydrogen storage properties of materials. Their work has helped reduce erroneous results from inappropriate techniques and experimental errors. Karl produced the "Recommended Best Practices for the Characterization of Storage Properties of Hydrogen Storage Materials," an invaluable document that defines key material properties related to hydrogen storage and provides guidance on how to measure those properties. This publication has been a valuable asset to new researchers and to established researchers looking to expand their measurement capabilities and ensure reliability and quality in their measurements. In addition to working with Karl on the Best Practices document, Philip has developed a thorough understanding of the intricacies and sources of error in hydrogen sorption measurements. This understanding and his ability to educate other researchers on how to properly carry out accurate and precise hydrogen sorption measurements have dramatically improved the reliability of results produced by researchers within the hydrogen storage R&D community.
Technology Validation – Leslie Eudy
This award recognizes NREL's Leslie Eudy for the valuable contributions she has made in support of the DOE Hydrogen and Fuel Cells Program's technology validation efforts over the last 10 years. Leslie has developed strong relationships with the Department of Transportation (DOT) Federal Transit Administration and numerous transit authorities that operate fuel cell buses. She began at NREL evaluating advanced diesel, hybrid, natural gas, bio-fuel, and fuel cell buses, and she later chose to concentrate her career on fuel cell buses, reporting extensively on their superior fuel economy and emissions reductions. She is acknowledged internationally for her leadership in organizing workshops that have brought together the world's experts on fuel cell bus development and deployment. She is also recognized for publishing six annual reports summarizing the status and progress of demonstrations of fuel cell transit buses in the United States. DOT, DOE, the California Air Resources Board, and other agencies rely on her expertise for evaluating proposed projects—not only for fuel cell buses, but also for other energy efficiency measures at transit sites.

Ryan Allis, CEO of iContact
To further our connection to employee-driven change we created an employee-led group called Changemakers. We now have a Social Changemakers Committee and an Environmental Changemakers Committee that meet monthly and come together once per quarter to make their recommendations to the company.
While putting in place the structure initially needed, coordination and buy-in at the highest levels of the organization, to expand our efforts and integrate the values and ethos of our company permanently into our culture we need the energy, support, and word of mouth of individuals at every level of the organization.
Making the Connection to Meaning at Work
Back in November 2009 I was speaking to an iContact employee who told me, "If you can connect the work I do at iContact to making an impact in the world, I would be so much more passionate about coming to work everyday." This was a key moment for me in making the immediate connection between 'meaning' at work and the incremental discretionary effort employees are willing to put into their jobs.
As Chip Conley wrote in Peak, if you can tie in "meaning" into the workplace, you will get orders of magnitude more productivity out of your team. Too often companies are meaningless, lifeless entities that are focused on short-term profit maximization rather than maximizing sustainable value creation for human beings, what actually maximizes long-term profits.
Meaning has three components to it:
- Personal Meaning – how the job ties into to the individual's life goals.
- Work Meaning – the significance of what the individual is enabling the company to achieve and the understood connection between their work and company success.
- Organizational Meaning – the significance of what the organization succeeding means for human society.
So in the "Employee Hierarchy of Needs," money is at the bottom, which creates base motivation. Recognition is in the middle which creates loyalty and meaning is at the top which creates inspiration.
What iContact Employees Think About Social Responsibility
So, have the social responsibility initiatives we've undertaken so far created added meaning for our team members, and can it for yours?
Here are a few examples of the comments we received from our employees so far either via Salesforce Chatter (shown above) or via the Culture Committee Meetings…
- "It makes me more excited about the company I work for."
- "It's a rare opportunity to be a participant in a company such as iContact."
- "iContact is a diverse group of individuals from all walks of life that come together as a team to both achieve and help others succeed."
- "iContact is a dynamic team-centric company that effectively balances customers, employees, and the world."
- "We have a holistic approach to business in terms of our impact on all stakeholders"
- "We do business differently, our employees are empowered, we work hard and play hard, and we are actively committed to helping others."
But the impact is not only in increasing employee engagement, but also increasing customers and partners that explicitly seek out wanting to work with socially responsible companies.
Here is an unsolicited email we received from one of our partners to illustrate this…
"I was impressed by the iContact's commitment to reaching beyond themselves to serve their community, to work toward making a positive impact on our community. It made my decision easier knowing I had found a company to work with that was like minded. As I work with my customers I make sure they know that we chose a company as a partner that would extend their reach."

Senior forward selected in 4th Round
HARTSVILLE, S.C. – Coker College men's soccer player Daniel Jackson has been drafted by Real Salt Lake in the 2014 Major League Soccer SuperDraft. He was the 13th selection in the fourth round (70th overall). Jackson is the first soccer player to be drafted in Coker history.
"It is such a blessing, honor and, most of all, surreal feeling to be drafted by a Major League Soccer team," said Jackson. "I'd like to thank the Coker coaching staff for helping me reach this point. I am forever grateful and indebted to coach (Paul) Leese and coach (Mike) Moya for giving me the chance to play Division II soccer.
"I would also like to thank the Real Salt Lake organization for this fantastic opportunity to play professional soccer. I am just extremely elated right now."
Jackson will leave Coker to pursue a professional career. Real Salt Lake players have to report to Salt Lake City, Utah, for an entrance physical on Fri, Jan. 24. Preseason training begins Saturday, Jan. 25 in Casa Grande, Ariz.
A forward, Jackson was a two-year starter for the Cobras after transferring from Cumberland University. As a senior, Jackson had 14 goals – including three game-winners – and two assists as he led Coker to a 9-5-3 overall record. The 14 goals were a single-season team record and good for second-best in the South Atlantic Conference.
Additionally, Jackson was named to the National Soccer Coaches Association of America 2013 NCAA Division II Men's Soccer All-Southeast Region third team, the Daktronics All-Southeast Region second team and the All-South Atlantic Conference third team. He was also the SAC men's soccer player of the week Nov. 5 after tallying five goals and one assist in two victories. Four of those goals came in one of those wins, tying a school record for most in one match.
As a junior, Jackson scored five goals – with two game-winners – in his first season at Coker. He was named Conference Carolinas third team all-conference as the Cobras went 12-4-1 overall and finished the season ranked 10th in the Southeast regional poll.
"This is a tremendous achievement for Daniel and a great achievement for Coker men's soccer," said head men's soccer coach Paul Leese. "It demonstrates the growth of our program that we can attract and produce players of this caliber. I have seen Daniel grow immensely during the last two years. He is a humble, honest and respectful young man. Daniel deserves every ounce of his success, and I am very proud of him. I am excited to watch Daniel play on the professional stage this year and look forward to following his career."
Originally from Silver Springs, Md., Jackson was a computer science major at Coker. He is the son of Toni Moore and Clinton Davis.
Jackson is the second student-athlete from Coker to be drafted by a professional sports team within the past year. Zach Loraine, a pitcher from the baseball team, was selected by the St. Louis Cardinals in the 2013 Amateur Draft in June.For the full release from Real Salt Lake, as well as its preseason schedule, visit here.
For more information, contact Chris Dougherty, manager of college and athletic media relations, at 843-383-8018 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
Coker College readies undergraduates for personal and professional success through a distinctive four-year program that emphasizes a practical application of the liberal arts as well as hands-on and discussion-based learning within and beyond the classroom. Coker is ranked among the "Best Colleges" in the South by U.S. News & World Report as well as The Princeton Review. Located in Hartsville, S.C., Coker is within two hours of the cultural, financial and recreational resources of Charlotte, Columbia, Charleston and Myrtle Beach.

With NFTA, UB researchers are testing features that could make public transit better for all users
A temporary building on the University at Buffalo's South Campus houses a humble-looking contraption that could serve as a spark for improving public transit everywhere: a full-scale replica of a 40-foot public bus, complete with a fare box, seats and wheelchair ramp.
For five years, researchers at the UB Center for Inclusive Design and Environmental Access (IDeA Center) have been inviting volunteers with disabilities to take part in everyday activities such as boarding, disembarking, paying fares and getting seated on the indoor vehicle.
The objective: To make suggestions about improving the design of buses by actually analyzing what works and what doesn't work with current models.
While this may not sound like a radical concept, many features of transit fleets meant to accommodate people with special needs are put into production without being adequately tested, said Jordana Maisel, IDeA Center director of outreach and policy studies. The same goes for buildings and public spaces.
"Using a simulator allows us to see what the actual problems are," she said.
"By testing simulated designs prior to production, accessibility, safety and usability problems can be reduced in production models of vehicles and new buildings," said Edward Steinfeld, Arch.D., director of the IDeA Center. "For example, we identified a problem in our lab with a new ramp system two years before it was later reported in the field."
The study, which is ongoing, has resulted in recommendations including:
•Creating a continuous handrail that goes from the front entrance of the bus to the fare box, which will help blind and visually impaired passengers locate the device.
•Using smart cards that you can simply tap against a card reader to improve boarding speed and convenience for all riders, especially those with poor motor control and those with visual impairments.
•Enabling mid-vehicle boarding for wheelchair users; this would enable faster boarding, as boarding in front requires navigating wheelchairs through a difficult turn and narrower spaces between the front wheel wells.
The research team used motion sensors and video recordings to study areas where volunteers experienced difficulties.
Findings were sent to the Niagara Frontier Transportation Authority in Western New York, whose latest 1300 Series buses already have two changes recommended by the study: placing a metal bumper on the floor beside the driver's seat to prevent mobility devices from running into uneven edges and getting stuck, and adding another bumper by the front doors to direct mobility devices onto the bus ramp while disembarking.
The NFTA has four of these upgraded vehicles in service, said Jeffrey Sweet, an NFTA equipment engineer who manages bus procurement. He said the hope is to incorporate additional IDeA Center suggestions as the authority procures more buses and updates its on-board fare collection system.
"The interior of a bus is rife with unintended consequences of design elements," he said. "This study helped to show areas where current designs could be improved to assist our riders with disabilities."
Kimberley A. Minkel, NFTA executive director, commented, "We are very fortunate that members of our Metro division have had the opportunity to collaborate with the IDeA Center to help improve public transit accessibility for our customers in a way that we could not accomplish on our own."
As the new NFTA buses hit the road, IDeA Center staff plan to partner with the authority to study whether the new design features are making a difference.
Research on the model bus will also continue, exploring issues including how well different types of ramps work, and how to improve wheelchair securement. The team will also alter the simulator to reduce its size from a clone of a full-scale bus to a smaller shuttle bus for additional study.
The model bus was built as part of a multifaceted, $4.7 million Rehabilitation Engineering Research Center on Accessible Public Transportation that UB and Carnegie Mellon University established in 2008 using a grant from the National Institute on Disability and Rehabilitation Research. Steinfeld co-directs the center with his son, Aaron Steinfeld, Ph.D., a researcher at Carnegie Mellon's Robotics Institute.
This year, the two universities received a second, $4.6 million NIDRR grant to continue their work, which involves everything from exploring how real-time trip information can empower accessible travel, to studying how vehicle and sidewalk improvements can reduce reliance on paratransit, which is significantly more costly than public transit.

Somewhere in this crazy, mixed-up world, there is a man in a black top hat with a huge smile on his face. Why? Because Axl Rose took one of the most comically brilliant faceplants in rock 'n' roll history at the 2012 Hellfest in Clisson, France.
If you've ever seen old 'Saturday Night Live' footage of Chevy Chase, you would know that few could take a spill like him. However, at Hellfest, the Guns N' Roses frontman gave the crowd a performance of 'Welcome to the Tumble' when he tripped on the stairs of the band's drum riser.
Actually, it was during 'Sweet Child O' Mine' when Axl took this soon-to-be-legendary fall. As the current GN'R lineup played the intro to the song, Axl began to ascend the stairs from the direction of stage left. About one-second before the first verse, the singer took a tumble that introduced face to floor as Axl's cowboy hat flew off his head. Defying the laws of physics, the singer's sunglasses somehow managed to stay on.
To give Axl a bit of credit, the fall didn't cause him to miss a single word (even though he began with the wrong verse) as the frontman gathered himself and continued on with the classic GN'R track.
It's not the first time Rose has taken a spill this year. In Liverpool, England, the singer fell backwards while exiting the stage at the end of the night. And in Russia, he apparently fell off a table at an after-show party, bruising his leg. But like the Energizer Bunny, Rose takes a licking but keeps on ticking.

Regimental Losses In the American Civil War
A Treatise On the
Extent and Nature of the Mortuary Losses in the Union
By William F. Fox, Lt. Col., U.S.V.
President Of the Society Of The Twelfth
Army Corps, Late President Of The
Albany, N.Y.
. . .There has been a dearth of official information regarding a certain class of regimental statistics which are essential to the history of the war, and are of interest, not only to the surviving participants, but to all who are interested in the story. Regimental affairs are of more importance to the average soldier than Corps or Army matters; and, so, an effort has been made to supply within these pages certain facts regarding regimental losses which are outside the province of the Government publications.
It is with pleasure that acknowledgment is made of courtesies extended by the Adjutant-Generals of the various State Military Bureaus, and the Adjutant-General's office at Washington. Without their kindly assistance the work could not have been completed.
No statistics are given here that are not warranted by the official records. The work represents the patient and conscientious labor of years. Days, and often weeks, have been spent on the figures of each regiment. It is hoped that before disputing any essential fact, a like careful examination of the records will be made. Having done that, if any fail to reconcile facts and statements, they will confer a favor by addressing a communication on the matter, so that an opportunity may be afforded to explain the seeming discrepancy, or, if an error, to correct it in a subsequent edition.
ALBANY, N.Y., May 1, 1888.
|Chapter I
|This chapter deals with the casualties of war, maximum of killed in Union regiments, maximum of percentages. As you might guess, lots of tables.
|Chapter II
This chapter presents the maximum of regimental loss in killed in any one battle--proportion of wounded to killed
|Chapter III
|Percentage of Killed in Regiments in Particular Battles--Comparison of Such Losses With Those of European Regiments.
|Chapter IV
|Loss in
Officers--List of Generals Killed--Surgeons and Chaplains Killed
|Chapter V
|This chapter deals with the losses in the Civil War compared with those of European wars, Loss in each arm of the service, classification of deaths by causes, etc. Keep in mind this deals with the Union Army only!
|Chapter VI
|The colored troops. History of their organization, their losses in battle and by disease
|Chapter VII
|Muster -Out Rolls --Anthropological Statistics. Very interesting. Not at all what you might think. Every thought about how tall the average Union soldier was?
|Chapter VIII
|Union Corps Organization. Want to know a little of the history of each Union Corps that fought in the late Rebellion? This is the place.
|Chapter IX
|This chapter deals with famous Divisions/Brigades. I have provided a selected few in this portion of the site. Again keep in mind this deals with the Union Army only!
|Chapter XII
List Of Regiments And Batteries In The Union Armies With Mortuary Losses Of Each--The Number Killed And Number Of Deaths From Disease Or Other Causes.
|Chapter XIV
|This chapter deals with the greatest battles (and many of the minor ones) of the late Rebellion. It give stats such as killed, wounded, captured, etc. Not complete yet but will be soon.
|Chapter XV
|Confederate Losses, Strength of the Confederate Armies--Casualties in Confederate Regiments--List of Confederate Generals killed--Losses in the Confederate Navy.
|Chapter XVI
|Conclusion. Don't be fooled by the title. Good thoughts here.

The festivities begin at 2 p.m. with the customary antique-aircraft flyover marking the launch of the parade, which will feature marching bands, fire trucks, equestrians, canine units and creatively decorated floats by local organizations and businesses. Bill and Claudia Evans will also display a show of antique tractors this year in the parade, which will ride alongside more floats and equestrians than have ever been seen before on the parade route west down Girard Avenue and south down Prospect Street.
This year's theme, "Christmas in the Village," revisits Christmas parades past by paying homage to the history of local merchants in La Jolla.
La Jolla Christmas Parade chairwoman Ann Kerr Bache's inspiration for the theme stemmed from a 1984 Christmas parade photo from the La Jolla Historical Society's archives, featuring the venerable Cameron Highlanders Pipe Band and a banner showcasing its community merchant sponsor, the La Jolla Music Store.
"As is the tradition, funds are raised for the parade from sponsorships by local businesses and individuals. I saw that the banner that was in the photo was for the La Jolla Music Store sponsoring a longtime and wonderful participant, the Cameron Highlanders Band," she said. "I had noticed the sign displayed at the music store that it was going out of business in July — a sad event — and I thought it would be great to honor them for their years of support."
Although La Jolla Music Store skirted outright closure thanks to the efforts of dedicated resident and La Jolla Town Council trustee David Woo, who purchased the community's 50-year-old shop, the prospect of losing a local treasure prompted the idea for a theme dedicated to La Jolla's merchants, both old and new.
To build on old traditions, new educational activities at the Holiday Festival, which takes place at the La Jolla Recreation Center, will add a fresh new twist to kid-friendly entertainment this year.
"For the first time, we will have educational activities that will include lessons on surfing, painting, an exercise station, and wonderful music and singing, in addition to our usual activities of Santa photos, games and the tree-lighting ceremony," said Kerr Bache.
Cultural education opportunities will also include arts and crafts stations, equestrian docents teaching kids about different horse breeds and a Wells Fargo stagecoach, complete with information about the history and role of stagecoaches in Western development.
This year's Christmas Parade and Holiday Festival will feature time-honored traditions alongside multi-generational activities, culminating in a dynamic community event as vibrant as La Jolla itself. For more information about the event, visit www.ljparade.com or call Pat Wells at (858) 922-4046.

There doesn't seem to be too much concern in Sixerville about Andre Miller at this point.
To this reporter, determining Miller's fate is the most important move this offseason, because how can any long-range planning be made without knowing his future intentions?
The other day, Ed Stefanski said there are other priorities and yes, it's true the Sixers have to settle the situation with restricted free agents Andre Iguodala and Lou Williams now, while Miller's contract doesn't expire until after the 2008-2009 season.
Still, it's a litttle baffling that the Sixers wouldn't sit down with Miller and just get a feel as to whether he would like an extended stay in Philadelphia.
Miller said last week he isn't sure what he wants, but he didn't sound like somebody who has long-range plans to stay.
What Miller did say he would listen to all talks from the Sixers and why not start them now?
Because if Miller absolutely refuses to commit to the team, or keeps them hanging, the Sixers would have no other choice but to explore trade options.
Right now, Miller's value, after the best of his nine NBA seasons, will never be higher.
That said, it would be better for the organization if he stayed in Philadelphia. At age 32, he would likely demand a three-year extension beyond next season. That isn't unreasonable.
He also owes it to the Sixers not to string them along. If he doesn't want to stay, tell them now. If he isn't sure, that's fine also, but get some gauge on his level of commitment and what it would take for him to want to stay.
It would have been the right time, the day after the season to sit down with Miller.
Because despite all the talk about needing a power forward and a shooting guard, the Sixers' biggest hole would be at point guard if Miller has it in his mind that this coming season will be his last in Philadelphia.

[Those curious about the history of the Victorian Web (which began before the WWW in another hypermedia environment) might be interested to learn that this document was one of the very first written specifically for what became this site by someone outside Brown University. (The materials on public health that Professor Wohl also contributed came from his previously published book [GPL].]
[W. M. Thackeray created the decorative initial "A" for Vanity Fair.]
n her novel Marcella , Mrs. Humphrey Ward described how visitors to the "filthy gutters and broken pavements" of a "sickening and decaying" Drury Lane came upon "children squatting and playing amid the garbage of the street [who] were further than most of their kind from any tolerable human type." Indeed, everything in the slums conspired to make the working classes "barely tolerable human types" and to reinforce the sense that they belonged to a different species. Like animals, they seemed inured to their own filth. Illustration upon illustration showed the poorest classes picking over (and the children playing in) "dustheaps"--euphemisms not just for garbage but also for animal and human excrement.
One medical journal noted that the poor in Bradford "dunged" in the streets, thus using an animal term I have never come upon for the defecation of other classes. Just like animals, they performed their private functions in public. In an age that increasingly associated cleanliness with respectability--no class more so than the working classes for whom cleanliness was a symbol of one's survival amidst filth, or of one's essential separation from the criminal classes--the personal habits of the lower orders marked them off as a lower form of life.
What can one conclude from the fact that references to the poor are full of anal imagery? Mayhew, for example, refers to "this vast dungheap of ignorance and vice" that is "breeding a social pestilence in the very midst of our land" and again to a "vast heap of social refuse--the mere human street-sweepings" who "serve as manure to the future crime-crop of the country." Hollingshead similarly writes of the "refuse" population.
The poor were dirty and smelled. The provision of regular piped-in water has been taken as such a feature of Victorian progress that it might come as a shock to learn that as late as 1879 over one quarter of the local authorities in Great Britain had no running water at all, that in Manchester, as late as 1904, only one house in fourteen had running water, or as late as 1894 only 5% of the houses in northern industrial towns had baths. Cleanliness, however close to Godliness in the minds of virtuous Victorians, was clearly beyond the reach of many members of the working classes. Smell, as much as anything, separated the working classes from respectability, especially in an age when smell was associated with dirt and disease.

For example, the 2013 Dodge Dart Mopar takes the familiar Dart Limited with a turbocharged engine and adds some performance enhancing bits. The Mopar Dart uses the same 160 hp engine you can get in the Dart Rallye or Limited but adds a bigger exhaust system, lower, stiffer suspension, gloss-black wheels, sport seats with deeper bolsters, blue accents inside and a front and rear spoiler. There will only be 500 of these made but you can pick and choose the parts you want from your local Dodge dealer. Each Mopar Dart comes with a number plaque on the dash.
The Kia Cross GT concept isn't your typical performance car. In fact, it's not a car at all but more like a luxury crossover SUV. It has an interior that's made of natural or recycled materials. Power comes from a 400 hp, 3.8 liter V6. That engine is connected to an 8-speed transmission which then sends power to all four wheels. The Cross GT is just a concept but it could indicate that Kia is considering a larger-than-Sorento SUV in the near future.
Also, Nissan showed the Nismo Juke. It sits a little lower, gets bigger wheels and tires, plus exterior enhancements like a more aggressive front fascia, prominent sills, redesigned spoiler and rear diffuser. This gives the car a sportier look, but the features are functional as well. Inside, suede-trimmed seats provide better lateral support, keeping the driver planted in high-speed maneuvering.

I made sambal tumis the other day for nasi lemak, still have about one cup in the fridge. Homemade sambal is similar to homemade jam, can be stored in the fridge for short period. I often keep a small jar of this sambal in the fridge either for cooking or as dipping sauce. A lot of Malaysian dishes are prepared with this sambal such as mee goreng, sambal ikan/sotong (fish or squid) and the list goes on. Today I cooked this sambal prawn, one of my favourite dishes. I can eat a lot of rice with the chili gravy, one of the "evil" dishes I should say.
Ingredients (2 servings):
1 large onion, sliced
2 clove garlic, chopped
1 tbsp cooking oil
2 tbsp sambal
2 tbsp tomato sauce
Salt to taste
Sprig of coriander for garnish
- Heat oil in a frying pan, stir in garlic and onion. Stir fry until onion softened.
- Add in sambal and tomato sauce, bring to boil over low heat.
- Add in prawn and stir to coat with sauce.
- Cook for 2 to 3 minutes or until the prawn is almost done.
- Add salt to taste and remove from heat.
- Garnish and serve.
I promised one of my classmates for this sambal recipe long long time ago. Here is my sambal recipe after umpteenth times of experiment. You may want to adjust the amount of sugar and belacan to suit your tastebuds.
Ingredients (makes 3 cups):
- 200g dried chili, seeded
- 2 tbsp of tamarind paste, mixed with ½ cup warm water
- 5cm belacan (shrimp paste) - add more if desired
- 10 bulb shallots, peeled and chopped lightly
- 1 head garlic, peeled and chopped lightly
- 1 large onion, peeled and sliced
- ½ cup sugar
- ¼ cup cooking oil
- Salt to taste
- Wash and soak seeded chilies in warm water for about 30 minutes and drain.
- Meanwhile, sift the tamarind mixture to remove seeds.
- Blend together chilies, shallot, garlic and tamarind juice to form smooth paste. Set aside for later use.
- Heat a large saucepan over low heat, toast belacan until the colour started to change.
- Add in oil and stir in onion. Stir a little until onion is softened.
- Pour in chili paste, bring to boil on low heat and let it simmer for about 10 minutes.
- Stir in sugar and salt to taste. Continue to let it simmer over low heat for 30 minutes or until it is thickened.
- Remove from heat and cool completely before bottled.

COMMERCE CITY, Colo. – Real Salt Lake retained the Rocky Mountain Cup for yet another year as they battled the Colorado Rapids to a 0-0 tie at Dick's Sporting Goods Park on Friday night.
Despite having a few opportunities throughout the match to score the winning goal, both RSL and the Rapids failed to find the net in what turned out to be a tight and physical game.
The home side created the best chances of the match, particularly in the first half, when Sanna Nyassi, Kosuke Kimura and Brian Mullan caused the left side of RSL's defense a lot of problems.
Just three minutes into the match, Nyassi turned his man brilliantly and dialed in a cross that teammate Wells Thompson failed to turn in from close range.
In 28th minute, after Brian Mullan played a through ball to Nyassi, the speedy attacker got to the ball ahead of Nick Rimando and was seemingly brought down by the RSL 'keeper, but no penalty was called on the play.
Thompson made his presence felt again just seconds before the end of the first stanza. After he collected a loose ball at the edge of the box, Thompson fired a blast towards the near post but Rimando was there to parry away the attempt.
RSL finally started to come on in the second half, especially shortly after the hour mark, when Nat Borchers, Javier Morales and Fabián Espíndola all went close. Still, the better of the chances belonged to the home side.
Nyassi kept troubling RSL, but this time with his crosses off set pieces. In the 56th minute, Nyassi delivered a free kick service to Jeff Larentowicz at the far post, but his header from close range went high. Then, in the 70th minute, Nyassi again delivered a cross from a free kick, but this time it was defender Drew Moor who failed to find the net with his attempt.
However, it wasn't until the introduction of big forward Caleb Folan that the Rapids proved even more troublesome, as in the span of a couple of minutes, the Ireland international twice missed some golden chances.
In the 82nd minute, Folan out-jumped RSL defender Jámison Olave to head a Nyassi cross towards goal, but Rimando again made a good save. On the ensuing corner kick – again delivered by Nyassi – Folan met the ball cleanly with his head, but this time he was denied by the crossbar.
The final 10 minutes were frantic for both sides, as each pushed forward on the counter to try and get the winning goal. Both defenses, however, held firm to see the game end in a stalemate.
With the result, Real Salt Lake retained the Rocky Mountain Cup thanks to a 1-0 win posted earlier in the season against the Rapids. RSL, who qualified for the playoffs long ago, also ended a four-game losing streak with the tie. Their final match of the season comes at home on October 22 against the Portland Timbers.
The Rapids, meanwhile, inched closer to the postseason with the draw, but were unable to confirm their playoff position. They next play their final match of the CONCACAF Champions League group phase on Oct. 19 against Santos Laguna in Mexico, before flying to Vancouver to take on the Whitecaps on Oct. 22 in their final game of the MLS regular season.

ST. CHARLES – Michele Boyle never has attended Scarecrow Fest – the event began after the former Lombard resident moved to England – but she knows about the festival through articles in "Midwest Living" and from her 87-year-old aunt, who lives in St. Charles.
After learning the Autumn Pumpkin Festival about 30 miles from her home in Dorset was "twinned" with other festivals around the world, she set out to twin it with the St. Charles festival she had heard so much about, she said in an email.
"I thought of the idea of twinning the two festivals because I love to connect people," Boyle said. "It makes me really happy to see a successful connection."
Organizers of the Autumn Pumpkin Festival jumped on board and emailed Amy Egolf, executive director of the Greater St. Charles Convention and Visitors Bureau, late last month about establishing a relationship.
Egolf took to the idea immediately, saying it adds another fun aspect to the three-day event.
"What I like about this is the local connection," she said. "I think it's another way of showing how word of mouth carries the story of what our festival is."
The 27th annual Scarecrow Fest begins today in downtown St. Charles. The three-day event has grown to host crowds in excess of 150,000 people and has gotten national attention, such as last week's mention on NBC's "Today" show.
In addition to the scarecrow contest display – which features dozens of entries from individuals, families, businesses, Scout troops, schools and other organizations – the weekend features live music, an arts and crafts show, a carnival, pony rides, petting zoo and other family-friendly activities.
Admission is free, but some activities have a fee.
To celebrate the "twin" relationship, Egolf said, the visitors bureau built a British scarecrow for the festival. This will be the first time since at least 2005 that the agency has its own scarecrow in the fest.
The CVB also sent a box of items – the city of St. Charles flag, the American flag, 2012 festival brochures, a scarecrow tote bag and a Greater St. Charles Visitors Guide – to Hampshire last week, Egolf said.
The Autumn Pumpkin Festival is set for Oct. 13 and includes a scarecrow component that has become popular in the last five years, organizers John and Sonja Davison told Egolf in an email.
On its pumpkin side, they said, the festival is twinned with the Virginia Pumpkin Festival in Ireland and the Goomeri Pumpkin Festival in Queensland, Australia.
"It is with great pleasure that the Jubilee Sailing Trust Autumn Pumpkin Festival and Scarecrow Avenue, Southampton UK offers the global gauntlet of friendship and respect to the St. Charles Scarecrow Festival, Illinois, U.S.," the Davisons said.
"As volunteers, we all appreciate the hard work and planning for such a community event and we wish you all the very best for your fabulous festival."
With help from her son and his fiancee, Boyle plans to make a scarecrow for the Autumn Pumpkin Festival. It will be named Charles, she said, noting a small fox plush will perch on its shoulder.
Boyle said she would love to see American-style autumn festivals established in England. While scarecrows always have been popular, pumpkin festivals are few and far between.
"I think a twinning like this will bring the best of both [countries'] customs together and hopefully will grow and grow together," Boyle said.
She noted her town of Bournemouth is twinned with Lucerne, Switzerland, and Netanya, Israel – relationships that have resulted in positive commercial and social exchanges.
Egolf said she doesn't know what to expect.
"We're early in the twinning process," she said, "so who knows what's going to happen."

I am not saying Chad Henne is better than any of these quarterbacks, though I hope he will be one day. I am just looking at the numbers. It is kind of incredible that Eli Manning was payed three quarters of a million dollars for every touchdown he threw.
If you would like me to analyze the numbers for another QB not listed here you can either comment on this post asking or feel free to email me at firstname.lastname@example.com.
I cannot guarantee that I will be able to do it, but I will try my best.

I don't see any relevance between pay and play. It doesn't show who is a better QB. That's what QB ratings are for.ReplyDelete
I don't care if Henne makes 100k a year or 100000k a year. It doesn't matter. Wins matter that's all. No one can doubt that. In my mind the best QB to ever play the game that I have seen is Marino. Yet all we hear is he never won the big one. So the honor of best ever goes to Joe Montana. Give me a break, Montana couldn't have held Marino's Jock strap when it came to passing. But Dan never won "the big one" so he gets passed over for the best ever.
It comes down to winning if Henne QBs the Dolphins to wins and the playoffs then he will be a great QB. Even if he throws 20 ints. a year. The amount of money he makes won't mean a thing.
I know I'm just interested in stats and pay. I like crunching numbers. It gives me something to do if nothing else.ReplyDelete

Little Blabbermouse
Both "Little Blabbermouse" and "Shop, Look and Listen" have the same premise, and the same crew behind them. My guess is that they came up with too many gags to fit in one cartoon, so they made two seperate cartoons. In both, A W.C. Fields caricature leads Blabbermouse on a guided tour of a department store full of unusual, funny and futuristic items. It's a rather unusual melding of Freleng's inamimate-objects-and-packages-come-to-life obsession, and the Tex Avery style of blackout spot-gags and puns. Also notice that the idea of W.C. Fields as a mouse would turn up again 27 years later as Merlin the Magic Mouse...and the connection may very well be Cal Howard, writer of the first Merlin short who was a frequent collaborator with Ben Hardaway and Cal Dalton in the early 40's. Both Hardaway and Dalton appear in the credits for the Blabbermouse cartoons.
"Little Blabbermouse"
"Shop Look and Listen"
"Unbearable Bear"

Wow! I remember watching some of these cartoons. And boy, that mouse can talk like there is no tomorrow. He and "Shorty", the fast talking rabbit from "Rabbit's Kin" should have a convention together.

Little Blabbermouse is one of my favorite cartoon characters based on the great W.C. Fields. I even have two of the Little Blabbermouse dolls in my W.C. Fields memorablia collection.
Thank you for writing about the character and helping to keep the spirit of W.C. Fields alive.

The character's roots actually go back to the hyper-talkative duck in Avery's 1937's "I Wanna Be A Sailor". He then showed up two years later in Hardaway and Dalton's "It's An Ill Wind", before Friz took a shot at trying the same type of fast-talking, never-shutting up character in the two 1940 cartoons.

Michael Burrows, a forensic detective in the S.F.P.D. becomes fascinated by the number of "Darwin" deaths being reported. Darwin deaths result when the victims commit a bizarrely stupid acts, resulting in their own demise. Determined to prove a common theme in these cases, Burrows joins forces with Siri, a clinical, no-nonsense insurance investigator specializing in the more bizarre claims. Along the way they come across a parade of unforgettable characters: the speed freak who straps a rocket launcher to his Chevy Impala in his quest to set a land speed record; two guys who decide that dynamite is the fastest way to break through a patch of ice to go fishing; teenagers who will do anything to break into a Metallica concert; and an ad executive who is so confident in the strength of his shatterproof window that he throws himself at it, despite being on the 25th floor.
