Fenninger takes her chance in Giant Slalom and wins Bronze.
Anna Fenninger knew that the Giant Slalom was her last chance to win a medal at the 2013 Schladming World Championships. The HEAD World Cup Rebel said after the race that "These have been a difficult World Championships for me but I am happy for today as this was my last chance for medal. This morning I felt I could do it, I was not nervous, I skied what I can and made a medal," she smiled. Third after the first run, Fenninger held on to the place behind Tessa Worley who won and Tina Maze who claimed the silver.
After coming down into the finish following her second run, Fenninger was in second place with two more still to go. How did she feel? "The feeling in the finish was not nice," she explained. While the slope was not easy to ski due to the icy conditions, Fenninger explained "it was fun to ski here and I am happy with medal, yet the moment in the finish was not nice."
Having come to Schladming as one of the favourites for gold in three events, how did Fenninger sum up her Championships? "The first week was hard, not only for me but the other racers as well, there was so much to do with media and fans, not much time for myself, at the start it was not good without medals and the pressure got greater. I didn't feel good in the start of the speed events. The Combined downhill was good but not in downhill itself, it was not my day. I had lost the energy; I had no results so went home for one day. I then did two days Giant Slalom training and this was good; this has been the mirror of my whole season," she explained.
After the slow start to the Championships for her, how did Fenninger turn things around? "I did not have great expectations but I wanted to win a medal, the worse it got, the more I blanked my expectations, I then just concentrated on how well I can ski and take it day by day."
The result was bronze in the Giant Slalom.
Gold: Tessa Worley (FRA)
Silver: Tina Maze (SLO)
BRONZE: Anna Fenninger (AUT) HEAD
9th Maria Hoefl-Riesch (GER) HEAD
20th Anne-Sophie Barthet (FRA) HEAD
22nd Julia Mancuso (USA) HEAD
23rd Lizz Goergl (AUT) HEAD

New Department, Division Chairs Prepare for Academic Year
Classes will resume on campus in just over two weeks and Augustana's new division and department chairs are preparing for the beginning of the 2014-15 academic year. See who is stepping into a new position.
The Augustana Magazine: Summer 2014
People always ask me, "What's the best part of your job?" It's hard to answer that question because, quite honestly, it's difficult to choose just one thing about being president of this great place we call Augustana that stands out above the rest.
Mathematics Mentor
Augustana's Dr. Martha Gregg believes that creative thinking is a part of math, too — it's why she strives to teach the creative side of mathematics — that the subject demands both "imagination and precise computation." Read the story about mathematics mentoring at Augustana published by Private University Products and News.
Augustana's Hannus to Appear on 'Time Team America'
Dr. Adrien Hannus, professor of anthropology and director of the Archeology Laboratory at Augustana, will appear in an episode of "Time Team America," a science-reality series from PBS that sends archaeologists on a race against time to excavate historic sites around the nation airing at 9 p.m. (CST) on Tuesday, Aug. 19.
Construction Set to Begin on Froiland Science Complex
Construction is poised to begin on Augustana's new 125,000-square-foot Froiland Science Complex later this month, the largest and most complex building endeavor in the College's 154-year history. Phase one of the project includes a 41,000-square-foot addition to the existing Gilbert Science Center.

Sustainability Campaign Showcases Work of Augustana Art Graduate
Artwork by a recent Augustana graduate will be featured on Sioux Area Metro buses for the duration of 2014 in an effort to engage and educate the public about sustainability. "Vitality," a piece by 2014 graduate Anh Ta, appears in a new ad campaign designed by Sioux Falls' Public Works Environmental Division. The focus of the initiative is to "enhance social, economic and environmental interests in an effort to increase overall community vitality."
Friendship Family Experience: The Youngbergs
Augustana is currently looking for area families to host and/or spend time with international students through the Friendship Families Program. Many families have benefited from these exchanges including the Youngbergs. Karin and Mark Youngberg share their story.
Host, Friendship Families Sought for Augustana International Students
On Tuesday, August 12, six students from Kyrgyzstan, Ukraine and Pakistan will arrive in Sioux Falls. Each student will need a host family for two weeks prior to the start of the school year. Augustana would like to pair each student with a host family willing to provide room and board; transportation to the College Monday-Friday (The IPO will provide orientation and cultural programming each day, Monday through Friday, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.); and family and cultural activities during the evening and weekends from August 12-22.

Sergio Perez admits he has "big shoes to fill" at McLaren next season, but the Mexican has already set his sights on winning the World Championship...
Sergio Perez admits he has "big shoes to fill" at McLaren next season, but the Mexican has already set his sights on winning the World Championship.
After impressing at Sauber the past season and a half, Perez will get a chance to mix it with the title challengers from 2013 onwards after McLaren decided to sign him as a replacement for Lewis Hamilton, who is moving to Mercedes.
When asked by CNN about his goals for next season, the 22-year-old replied: "Just one goal - to be World Champion."
He added: "My target straight away is to win the World Championship. I need to get wins to do that. I know it will be very hard to win the Championship but it's the challenge I want."
The departing Hamilton finished second in the World Championship in his first year in Formula One in 2007 and then won the title the following year.
Perez concedes he has a hard act to follow at McLaren.
"For sure, I've got big shoes to fill," he said. "I rate him very highly and he's maybe the fastest out there. It's going to be tough to follow what he did."
The Mexican will team up with Jenson Button at the Woking squad next year and Perez knows it won't be easy to get the better of the 2009 World Champion.
"I've spoken to Jenson a bit since I signed for McLaren," said Perez. "He seems to be a great guy and I think he'll be good fun as a team-mate. He's a very tough guy to beat and is very experienced. He's one of the fastest guys out there."

Situated in a remote location in the North Atlantic Ocean, Iceland is a mysterious and wonderful country of great contrast. It is a big island, extending almost 300 kms. (185 miles) north to south and 500 kms. (310 miles) east to west. Its coastline is deeply indented by fjords and bays and extends to over 6000 kms. in length. Put in basic geographical terms, Iceland is a plateau, averaging 610 metres in height (2000ft.), with vast ice fields covering its highest parts. The largest of these is Vatnajökull in the southeast. The southern coasts are low-lying and without natural harbours. The high inland plateau is ringed with high mountains and peaks, the highest of which is Hvannadalshnúkur, at 2119 metres (6952ft.), in the southern glacier of Öræfajökull. The unusual landscape of this dramatic island is made up of volcanoes, hot springs, glaciers and tortured lava formations. Only in coastal regions has this harsh environment been softened by the activities of man. Here, in isolated pockets of settlement, there are pretty harbours, quaint houses and flower-filled pastures. With a population of fewer than 300,000 people and a land area of almost 40,000 square miles, Iceland is one of the least populated parts of Europe. Almost four-fifths of the country is uninhabited, the population being limited to a narrow coastal belt and to a number of valleys and lowland plains in the south and southwest. The interior of the country remains one of Europe's great wilderness areas.
Time Zone
The time in Iceland is GMT + 0 hours.
The official language of Iceland is Icelandic. This language is similar to the ancient Norse language and to the languages spoken in the Faroe Islands and in parts of western Norway. Most Icelandic people speak very good English, although your attempts to speak the local language will be well appreciated.
Iceland's climate is moderated by the warm ocean current known as the Gulf Stream. Summers are quite mild and winters rather cold. The maximum daytime temperature in Reykjavik varies beween 2 degrees centigrade in December and January to 15 degrees centigrade in July. Night time temperatures in the Icelandic capital fall to minus 3 degrees centigrade in midwinter and 8 degrees centigrade in July. From the end of May to the beginning of August, there is almost perpetual daylight in Reykjavk and in the north of the island the sun scarcely sets during this season. At any time of year in Iceland, there is a chance of poor weather, with rain and wind. But, there can also be pleasant, clear and sunny days. In short, you need to be prepared for a variety of conditions - like summer in the English Lake District. Don't forget your waterproofs!
The unit of currency in Iceland is the Krona. For up to date exchange rates visit: www.xe.com. Sterling, US dollars and euros are easily exchanged in Reykjavik. Credit cards can be used widely and you will also be able to obtain currency at cash machines (ATM's) at larger banks in the usual way.
Visa Requirements
A valid passport is required. Visas are not required by UK, US or EC passport holders. Nationals of other countries should check visa requirement with the relevant embassy in their own countries. More detailed information about visas can be found on the trip page for your holiday on the KE website.
You should attend your own doctor and dentist for a check-up. Your doctor will have access to the most up to date information on the required vaccinations for the country you are visiting. In general, no special immunizations or medications are necessary for travel to Iceland. A very good online resource is the NHS travel website at www.fitfortravel.nhs.uk

Ana made an excellent start to the 2013 season as she defeated Italy's world No.35 Francesca Schiavone at the Hopman Cup in Perth. The 25-year-old triumphed 6-0, 6-4 to give Serbia a 1-0 lead in the best-of-three rubbers team event.
It was a dream start to the new season for Ana as she whitewashed the former French Open champion in the first set.
The opening few games were competitive but Ana showed the greater class and grit to move into a 3-0 lead. At this point Ana relaxed and dictated play with her forehand, which was the dominant shot of the match.
Although Ana was broken when serving for the match at 5-3 in the second set, she broke Schiavone in the following game to clinch a most satisfying victory.
"It's so good to be back here, I really enjoyed coming out today," said Ana in her on-court interview. "Holding my serve in the first game was important. I didn't do much wrong in the first set.
Ana won seven of nine points at the net, hit 21 winners and produced a first serve percentage of 59, as top seeds Serbia opened their campaign with a win.
"A few times we were so close," said Ana, in reference to Serbia's wait to clinch the Hopman Cup crown. "I really hope this time we can put it together and go all the way. It's always fun to compete here. And we have a fun New Year's Ball to look forward to tonight."
ATP world No.1 Novak Djokovic takes on Andreas Seppi in the men's singles rubber, before Ana and Djokovic team up against Schiavone and Seppi in the mixed doubles finale.

STILWELL — In the pregame talk to his players, Greg Werner, Poteau's first-year coach, told his troops, "We need to go out and set the tone and the pace of the game right from the start." Even though the Pirates scored quickly in the opening quarter, they lost their focus somewhere along the way, and the Pirates only led 13-7 over the upstart Stilwell Indians at the intermission.
The Poteau locker room was not the place to be if you were weak of heart. The Pirtates got the message the second time around, and went out and totally dominated the game as they won 40-7.
SPIRO — The Spiro Bulldogs football team got back into the District 3A-8 race as they won their first district game of 2012 and blanked the Idabel Warriors Friday night at McClain Stadium.
The Bulldogs snapped a two-game losing streak with the win.
TALIHINA — The Talihina Golden Tigers' offense scored early and often, and their defense shut down the Union Christian Academy Eagles to collect a 55-6 notch in the win column Friday night at Doc Robinson Stadium.
HUGO — The Pocola Indians football team bounced back from its District 2A-6 opening loss last week against Vian, but it didn't come easy.
After being down in the first quarter, the Indians rallied to force overtime, then Devon Martin's touchdown run in the extra period helped Pocola outlast the Hugo Buffaloes 39-38 in overtime Friday night.
ARKOMA — The Arkoma Mustangs got off to a bad start Friday night and never got back on track falling to the Southwest Covenant Patriots 53-8 in District C-4 action at Mustang Field.
COUNCIL HILL — In a battle of teams seeking not only their first football win overall in 2012 but their first District C-4 victory, the Midway Chargers downed the Bokoshe Tigers 52-6 Friday night.
ROLAND — The Heavener Wolves lost a heartbreaker to the Roland Rangers by a score of 40-32 Friday night, despite Blake Smittle's 200-plus rushing yards and two-touchdown performance.
HARTSHORNE — The Panama Razorbacks will have to wait another week to try to get their first win of the 2012 football season.
The homestanding Harsthorne Miners handled the Hogs by a score of 41-7 Friday night in District 2A-6 action.
SALLISAW — The Poteau Pirates freshmen football team jumped on the Sallisaw Black Diamonds early, and appeared to be in cruise control. Sallisaw got to within two points of the Pirates, but then the Pirates got great plays on the defensive side of the ball to set up Austin Archey on a 70-yard romp for a touchdown as they posted a 21-12 win over the Black Diamonds Thursday night at Perry F. Lattimore Stadium.
While I'll get to the usual "meat and potatoes" of this weekly column in a bit, I need to share my thoughts about my fellow church member, brother Eddie Epstein.
I found out Wednesday night at prayer meeting at my church, Calvary Missionary Baptist Church, that brother Eddie was diagnosed with cancer.

Pejo is a valley rich with traditions in the heart of the largest Italian National Park. With 13 km of beautiful slopes from 1400 to 2400 meters, Peio is for those who love nature, want to avoid congestion, enjoy thermal baths, and take advantage of plenty of opportunities for entertainment and relaxation.
Only a few kilometers away, the impressive ski areas of Marilleva, Folgarida and Madonna di Campiglio, summing up to a total of 120 km of beautiful slopes between the Brenta Dolomites and the Ortles Cevedale group.
Pejo is the oldest tourist resort in Val di Sole, famous since 1650 for its thermal water, oilminerals and ferruginous. The connection between the various villages and the lifts is facilitated by a shuttle bus between Cogolo – Peio Terme that runs every half hour and the ski buses run by individual hotels.
Peio winter sports are ideal for those who want to avoid crowds and congestion and that love to be close to the nature. Snow in this area is abundant due in part to the vicinity of the Ortles Cevedale group – one of the highest oriental Alps with 23 peeks over 3500 meters high – and good skiingo is further guaranteed by the significant investment of snowmaking facilities, that now cover 60% of the ski area. The slopes are well maintained thanks to the daily work of several powerful grooming machines. With only a short drive by car or with the free bus service, NeveBus, it is possible to increase your options even further to experience other resorts: the impressive ski areas Marilleva and Folgarida and Madonna di Campiglio and the other resorts in the Skirama Dolomiti Adamello Brenta.
In addition to alpine adventures, Peio offers excursions in the National Park, and 18 km of cross-country skiing tracks with various difficulties.

Novak Djokovic set another record as he won his HEAD-to-HEAD final at the Australian Open, becoming the first tennis pro who captured the title for three straight years. Djokovic, recommending the brand new YouTek™ Graphene Speed beat fellow HEAD racquet rebel Andy Murray 6-7(2), 7-6(3), 6-3, 6-2 to run his Grand Slam title total to six.
"Winning three in a row, is a huge achievement." said World Nr. 1 Novak Djokovic. "I'm always motivated in every match that I play. But of course Grand Slam finals are always bringing something new, something special to every player, and that's where you want to perform your best." said the champion.
Over the past six months Andy Murray, who endorses the YouTek™ IG Radical, has reached new levels in tennis. "The last few months have been the best of my life. I made the Wimbledon final, won the Olympics, won the US Open. I was close here as well. I have to try and look at the positives of the last few months, and I think I'm going the right direction."
HEAD Racquet Rebel Roberta Vinci who combined with partner Sara Errani, won the women's doubles crown (6-2, 3-6, 6-2), defeating HEAD Racquet Rebels Casey Dellacqua and Australians 16 years old Ashleigh Barty, playing her first Grand Slam final in her career. The pair has won three of the last four majors – the French Open, the US Open and Melbourne.
In the men's double HEAD player Robin Haase reached the final with his partner Igor Sijsling. The team from the Netherlands was beaten 3-6, 4-6 by the Bryan brothers from the United States.
After starting the Australian Open with a wildcard, HEAD Racquet Rebel Matthew Ebden and Jarmila Gajdosova finished the tournament with a Grand Slam title in the mixed doubles. The Australian pair won the essential game against the Czech duo Lucie Hradecka and Frantisek Cermak 6-3, 7-5.
Maria Sharapova reached the semi-finals in singles where she came to the court with the loss of only nine games but was not able to get past China's Li Na 2-6, 2-6. With Sloane Stephens another HEAD Raquet Rebel surprisingly took a spot in the semi-finals. The 19 years old youngster was beating No. 3 seeded Serena Williams in the quarter finals.

Have you tried using TED Talks at work? What is your experience?
I had this idea this morning to bring TED into my workplace (see http://www.ted.com/conversations/3928/bring_the_ted_spark_to_your_wo.html). I have actually created our network on the company Yammer group today to share the idea, test it and share feedback.
Have you tried this at your workplace before? What format? What worked? What didn't? Why? I would be very much interested to hear your experience using TED Talks at work.
Consider visiting the above TED Idea post to leave a comment on the TED@[work] concept.
Jul 3 2011: I've shown TEDTalks at work during lunch the first Wednesday of every month for a while now. (Laptop, projector, big screen, speakers.) I've also hosted a TEDx at work, a few hours after work, with free dinner for all attendees, courtesy of my employer, and is planning another in September. The feedback has been good, but I'd recommend TEDx style events, rather than lunch-talks, as you have more time to talk and reflect after each video. My intention is to have a TEDx event at work every other month, keeping it small and simple, but still enough to promote ideas worth spreading and making TED more available to more people. My company has been a great supporter, and that is a prerequisite for success for this kind of company events.
Jul 4 2011: Hello Martin and thanks for your insight. The situation you describe is pretty much where I would like to be at my location in a few months, and hope to energize colleagues at other locations in our orgnanization to do the same.
Lunch time is indeed short, hence the need for a focused discussion, possibly limiting attendance to a team (or small diverse group). I am not sure how this will work out in the end, but at least that is my going in game plan. Ultimately, the attendees will decide what they want out of this and what works for them. I believe this is key to keep the attendance and energy high.
I see great value in organizing a proper TEDx Event at work as well, and we may go that direction after a few monthly "TED@[work] moments" (lunch sessions). But as you pointed out, it would require organizational support. I believe the monthly sessions outcomes may provide material for a good discussion with management to secure support when the time comes. But this will take time to secure, organize, etc. and jump through all the hoops large organizations tend to have. Again as you said, I would like to keep it as small and simple for now, and as much open for replication as possible.
I would be interested to know whether you have been able to see implementation of outcomes of your lunch-talks or TEDx Events? My goal is to promote ideas worth spreading AND turn the resulting energy and inspiration into tangible change.Jul 24 2011: yes, i tried, but most of the people just think you are crazy, because TED talks show scientific things while people prefers their false ideas.
Jul 27 2011: Hello Nicolas. It seems easier for a number of people to deny facts that challenge established beliefs or references. I believe it's called resistance to change (change of mind in this case...). I can only suggest to engage in such sharing with people you trust first, people who you know are open-minded, and looking for ways and opportunities to be and do better for themselves and for others. Don't give up! And if these people aren't at work, that's equally fine. The most important thing is to surround yourself with people that are open to new ideas, and willing to share and try them to do good. Thanks for sharing.
Jul 27 2011: Exactly Oob !
Resistance to change is the good phrase to sum up what said.
Thank you for your comment and your ideas.

I teach public school English teachers in South Korea. I recently started using TED talks as topics for discussion.
I've used Jane McGonigal's talk http://www.ted.com/talks/jane_mcgonigal_gaming_can_make_a_better_world.html
The teachers come up with their own definitions, uses for, and examples of Urgent Optimism, Social Fabric, Blissful Productivity, and Epic Meaning. The concept of gamers being 'super-powered hopeful individuals' is a sharp change to seeing gamers as addicts wasting their lives.
This summer, i have a six week class on how to teach Divergent Thinking. I'm going to start it with Sarah Kay's poetry exercise: write 10 things you know to be true. Then we'll watch and discuss her talk--
(We also watch and discuss the RSAnimate's of Sir Ken Robinson: Changing Education Paradigms, and Matthew Taylor: 21st century enlightenment.)
I love my job!
Oob Nding
Jul 7 2011: Hey Dylan. Great to hear from your TED@[work] experience in a non-corporate environment! I'm sure your students do enjoy your class! I was actually referred to RSA Animate just last night. I haven't seen any of the videos yet but it came highly recommended. Thanks for sharing!

Jul 27 2011: Our school has a philosophy: It is not our job to maintain but to improve. I haven't shared any of the TED talks with coworkers, but several of the videos have inspired me to try new ideas in my classroom and to reconsider how I view the world and others. TED inspires me to be more concsious of the world around me and about how what I do affects others. Since I will be teaching seniors this year, I plan to share some of these videos with my students. I will let you know the results.

Indrani Kar
Jul 27 2011: I've often used TED at work - I am an ESL/EFL teacher and currently one of the electives I teach is called "Media Studies". I often show various TED talks after presenting or going over essential vocabulary, and then we all discuss some of the topics that have been discussed and listened to in a TED talk. It's awesome!Jul 27 2011: Good question Oob - I use TED talks to get students thinking in environmental science classes. e.g. Craig Venter, Pater Ward, Cary Fowler, Jonathan Drory, and Juan Eriquez when we discuss biodiversity and evolution; Dean Ornish, Ann Cooper, and Mark Bittman on food; Larry Brilliant and Laurie Garrett on pandemics, Anupam Mishra and Michael Prichards on water; to name a few. After seeing and discussing a couple of these, the content in the text has a context to which it can be applied.
- +1
Jul 27 2011: Glyn, thank you for sharing your experience. And thank you for the list of talks you have used with your students, which I am sure others will benefit from. Ann Cooper and Anupam Mishra are definitely some of my favourites. I will probably use your list as a starting point to trigger more thinking on environmental matters. Thanks again for sharing!Jul 25 2011: I showed my Year 13 (17-18 year olds) class the Sylva Earle Wish TED talk - they brought into it very quickly and were speechless throughout - Sylvias passion and hope tore down any adolescent pretence and united the group with the truth that they confronted a changing and possibly tragic future. It was the foundation for a serious talk about positive change and facing reality. The next generation shouldn't be depended on to fix our mistakes without our teaching them that we've made mistakes.

Jul 12 2011: Hi! I'm only a freshman in college, but I do private tutoring for those preparing to study abroad. I showed some of my favorites ( Sir Ken Robinson's "school kills creativity" and Elizabeth Gilbert's creativity talk, KIVA, etc,) and the students LOVED them. TED talks get them more and more excited about studying abroad and I hope TED keeps up with the high quality of its lectures. :D

Jul 9 2011: My advisor Dr. Ronojoy Adhikari introduced this TED to me very recently. I have shared this site to my research group.

I listened the talk by James Watson in the year of 2007. Since my research topic is relevant to DNA, I shared this video talk with my supervisor and in future I have the plan to use this presentation.
Jul 11 2011: Vanitha, fantastic! I would be interested to hear about your experience when you share this Talk with more people around you, and what that changes for you, for your workgroup, and possibly for your research. Thanks for contributing.
Jul 11 2011: Dear Oob Nding,
So far my research group has only two students( myself and my colleague). Recently, three more students have joined under my advisor. When I was discussing TED with my advisor, I requested him to gather once in a week to discuss TED talks. It will start very soon. My presentation on DNA will be coming in the month of August and I am eagerly waiting for the output from the audience.
Jul 11 2011: Good opportunities. Keep us posted once these have happened!Jul 8 2011: We are going to try this shortly....I will update you when I have. It will be something along the lines of the try something new for 30 days. To me....theres thinking inside the box and outside the box.....but its now about....there is no box....
Jul 11 2011: Samuel, that's what this conversation is about! Please share your experience! Thanks!Jul 8 2011: I often conduct training workshops as part of my job. I have downloaed 2 TED talks to use in future presentations. I have shared these with coworkers who did not know about TED. Now they do.
Jul 11 2011: Anastasia, I like it. Could you share whether this has changed anything for this group of coworkers? Anything you now do differently? Thanks for contributing.
Cesar Rossi
Jul 3 2011: Hy Oob, I´ve trying to introduce some of the ideas of TED to the bussiness enviroment. What I do is, I try to spread the idea to my employes, so they can try to figure out some that interest to them, by thenselves, but, to estimulate the use and the reflexions, I used to bring some talk to them in this format. I invite them to go to the auditorium and listem the talk in groups. (I invite more them we have space, It´s free and open to go if you wanna go. Not mandatory! And then, after the talk, we discuss in group and I try to mediate de debates! I try also to bring the subject that interest to the moment of the company. And also, we use a corporate tool called "getingContact" (is like http://www.salesforce.com/br/chatter/?d=70130000000FVxO&internal=true) that is a social network inside the company, and we try to put some links of the best talks on TED into this inside net. And it´s been a great experience. Just because starts to make people think diferent, and try to use this in a day to day basis! (And of course, the participation in this program, counts positive in the pay-for-performance politics we use. (To estimulate, becouse is not mandatory)

Hope ypu find you way my friend.
Oob Nding
Jul 4 2011: Cesar, thank you for sharing. I see a lot in common between what you do and what I have in mind. I like the non-mandatory attendance, and the selection of a topic that is relevant to the company's current focus. Similarly to your "gettingContact" network, I have started a group on our company's Yammer network (www.yammer.com), and a Wiki page dedicated to this group. The intent is to let everyone in the company know about the TEDTalks we (our TED@[work] x[Location] group) view and the actions that come out of these sessions. The purpuse is to ACT locally, and hopefully energize others throughout the organization (which is a fairly large international one) to setup similar groups at their locations and share their TED experiences and subsequent actions.
- +1
On the "pay-for-performance" scheme, you may consider reviewing Daniel H. Pink's book ("Drive") and reflect on whether money (an 'extrinsic motivator') enables the creativity you expect from these sessions in the long run. Daniel Pink is also a TED Speaker (http://www.ted.com/speakers/daniel_pink.html), but I have decided to finish the book before I watch the TEDTalk.
Thanks again for sharing, I think it is terrific that you give your employees the opportunity to think and collaborate differently at work. Good luck with your continued TED@[work] experience!
Cheers, Oob.
Jul 4 2011: Hy Oob. Thank you for reply! I´m checking the yammer tool that you told me, and I already loved. (It´s free and judging by the companies that use, it´s also safe). I hope that you have success in this initiative in your company, and people get as excited as you are!
About the "Drive" book, thanks, I will go for it, I already watched him at TED but couldn't " link" that with the "p-f-p" scheme? Maybe, I will have to check the book! As a matter of fact, it is a non stop knowledge issue anyway.
Good luck for you too my friend, and let´s talk in the future about the results?
Cheers! CR
Gene Doray
Jul 1 2011: We have shown a number of TED Talks at work, and all have provoked thoughtful conversation. Whether it is Sir Ken Robinson talking about creativity or Daniel Pink exploring motivation (and a host of other great speakers), we have found it a wonderful investment of our time as it often elicits engagement and healthy debate.
- +1
Jul 2 2011: Gene, thank you for sharing. Two questions I have regarding your experience:
What was the format of these TED moments at work?
Did you ever implement an idea that came out of the debates?Jun 30 2011: http://www.ted.com/pages/tedx_within_corporations
It's called TEDx...
I once tried it... it was fun, but management stopped me.
Jul 1 2011: Christophe, thank you for your reply. It surely seems I didn't search hard enough to find this reference to TEDx within corporation. Great to see what others have tried/are doing at work. Yet, I see a slight difference between a full scale, centralized, branded (and licensed!) TEDx Event at work, and a free format, geographically distributed, TED-inspired "lunch & learn"-type recurring activity or as I refer to them, a "TED@[work] moment". I can certainly see room for both in the workplace.
I would be interested to hear more on why you think your management stopped you in the past, if you are able/willing to share.
Jul 12 2011: Reason must be that
0) I work for a government service
1) I made publicity without going through all the permission and forms required to organise something at work
2) the did not understand, was thought of as possibly disruptive...
Jul 12 2011: Sometimes governments really piss me off!Jul 27 2011: Time for some feedback.
I have held my first TED@[work] session yesterday, as part of a "lunch and learn" type event that we hold every month. For this introductory session, the Talk I picked is Dan Pink on the surprising science of motivation. http://www.ted.com/talks/lang/eng/dan_pink_on_motivation.html
After a few words to introduce the initiative, we watched the video (big screen, room audio), and then debated on the topic of motivation, incentives and the subsequent effect on performance, for employees and interestingly enough for contractor companies.
It was a good, balanced discussion, and the feedback from the audience is such that we have agreed to do it on a regular basis.
Jul 27 2011: I think it is great that this has worked for you in your workplace. The fact that people were/are willing to embrace a new idea is very refreshing.
Thanks for sharingJul 27 2011: Unless you work in a company with people that think more along the line as you do...it may not be a good idea. Its really odd how some people say they are open to change and want new, fresh ideas but then when someone gives them what they ask for...it may leave a bitter taste they never expected.
Some people are only up for new ideas on the outside but don't truly want it...its like they talk a good game but don't play by the rules.
Jul 27 2011: I agree strongly with this opinion. Frankly the work enviroment is not a right place for sharing ideas which could not follow the corporate rules. Even I can say that we can not expect that people will be open and honest with their opinions. Also we may loose the balance between work and privacy...Jul 27 2011: Christy, Mariola, It is probably a good idea to check on a few success factors before engaging in such an exercise at work. First of all you may want to check on your company culture. Also, you want to be selective on the topics you display, as not all will be relevant in the business environment. Plus they need to be compelling. And most importantly, you want to be selective as to who you invite to watch. Make sure this is a safe - not hostile - environment. Share it with people you trust first, that you may have engaged successfully on a one to one basis, as these will support you along the way.
Now on those people who say they are open to new ideas but go into a defensive mode as soon as you bring one... well if you are familiar with the SARAH model (exists under different acronyms), which can be used to describe how people react when they receive bad news... SARAH stands for Shock, Anger, Rejection, Acceptance, and Hope. Your colleagues might simply be at the beginning of their journey, or stuck at the Rejection stage...
Thank you for sharing your experiences.
Jul 29 2011: You asked if the TED community has ever used TED at work... and we gave our input as to why it would not be a good idea. I do not believe Mariola or myself said we are doing it so I am confused as to why you have gone into an instruction mode of communication.
Jul 29 2011: Hi Christy. The limits of written communication... sorry for the misunderstanding. I assumed you had bad experiences doing it and shared tactics that worked well for me. Thanks for your input.Jul 21 2011: We have been sharing TED talks within a diverse group of physicians, managers, nurses, hospital administrators, engineers, etc. as a part of our new academic medical center model that we are starting. We often share them and have a discussion during our "complexity conference" once a week. We are learning about complexity and systems science and how to apply that knowledge to health care. I think the talks have helped our group become more open minded and creative. We will continue to use them as we begin implementation of our new academic medical center. We are also considering starting a TEDx.Jul 19 2011: Hi Oob, I highlighted the virtual choir to prospective music and computing graphics students applying to University, but of course everyone/anyone can be inspired by the talks.
I really enjoyed the talk from the social worker about requiring a sense of belonging/attachment, and the need to 'feel vulnerable' to be successful. I showed this to one class of top set 16 yr old pupils- the concept is quite abstract for this year group- but they got it and a fine conversation developed-real critical and creative thinking- exactly what we aim for in Scotland teaching Religion and Philosophy.
I think the talks offer excellent 'chunks' of time, that is small amounts easily 'devoured' for the school audience, and are useful in the classroom, if delivered to the right 'academic' audience, to inspire the younger generation.Jul 18 2011: We used to do it on a weekly basis but as most things, inertia sets in after a while and then it seems to loose its impact. We found it's best to create an environment where there is a culture of sharing/inspiring for anyone at anytime, rather than forcing people to either come up with material of listen to talks. The more natural it happens, the more impactful. Hope this helps.Jul 12 2011: I used Ted talks as an assignment in my Sustainable Business class, to expand imagination and the students' perception of business. In a business workplace, I believe a chosen Ted talk would be much more valuable than some of the so-called team-building exercises. Instead of a speaker at a brown bag lunch, I would offer a talk or perhaps have a monitor queuing up talks talks chosen by the lunchroom denizens.Jul 12 2011: Hi, I am a Guidance Teacher in a High School. I was inspired by the Virtual Choir talk and graphics. I played this to a few classes, different year groups, age 12yrs, to 16 yr olds. The young kids were mesmerised by the choir, older kids enjoyed the talking part too! ; )
I explained to them that they are part of a global community to make good communication and harmony possible, in juxta position with the negative connotations of using the web/fbook/MSM for bullying name calling etc. I challenged those who plan to go to University to study Computing/Music etc to come up with other, better ideas.
I have also shown 3/4 minute talks as 'thinking points' at the end of lessons- eg 'Three things I learned when my plane crashed'.
Jul 18 2011: Hello Joanne. Great to see the Talks used at schools. Some really are able to get the attention of a broad range of viewers! What is wrong with computing or music? Or... What other answer are you satisfied with? What better ideas do you promote? Thanks for sharing and please, tell us more.

Jul 11 2011: Glipona, I am so sorry to hear about your bad experience with TED Talks at work. I haven't seen the talks you refer to, but they all seem to be of the creative or artistic type. TED is all about ideas worth spreading, and I have been moved by more than one type of Talks, but one needs to be willing to listen to hear the messages.
I don't know which Talks you introduced to your colleagues in the first place, and whether there was room for an innovative approach to collaboration at your work to begin with. After all, it all depends much on organizational and possibly location-specific culture... All I can suggest is to stay true to yourself, share the messages that move you with people you can trust, and if that is not at work so be it! There is so much more in life.
Besides, you may want to reflect on whether the people that mock you for being open-minded and empathic are anything more than bullies in the workplace, and wether that is acceptable to your organization, and to yourself.
I understand there are over 800+ talks on this website. There are surely plenty more you will enjoy, and which will possibly help move passed that experience. Take care.

This story was updated at 6:30 p.m. on Feb. 12, 2013.
A rental truck allegedly used as the getaway vehicle in a bold daytime robbery of a downtown Frederick jewelry store last week led police to a cellphone that helped identify a suspect now in custody — and as well as the recovery of an assault-style weapon.
Alonzo Meadows, 32, of Fairfax, who is suspected of being one of three masked robbers who stole about $200,000 in merchandise from Colonial Jewelers on Feb. 5, is being held without bail, according to court records.
Meadows waived extradition from Washington, D.C., where he was being held after his arrest there on Feb. 6, and was returned to Frederick Friday to face 19 charges, Frederick police said.
Meadows was charged with five counts each of first- and second-degree assault and reckless endangerment, and one count each of armed robbery, robbery, theft of over $100,000 and use of a firearm in committing a violent felony, according to charging documents.
Frederick County District Court Judge Janice Ambrose ordered him held without bail Monday in the Frederick County Adult Detention Center.
When arrested, Meadows was driving a black pickup truck that matched the description of the vehicle used in the robbery of Colonial Jewelers, according to Lt. Clark Pennington, a spokesman for the Frederick Police Department.
Meadows is believed to be one of three men who robbed the store, located at 1 S. Market St., at about 1:30 p.m., using pepper spray on 10 employees and customers before smashing a glass display case to steal several "expensive watches," police have said.
He was being held by the Metropolitan Police Department on a fugitive warrant for his alleged involvement in the robbery, but was transported to Frederick last week after he waived his right to an extradition hearing, Pennington said.
The truck he was found driving had already been transported to Frederick, where it was being processed for evidence.
"We have the truck, and we are conducting searches on it," Pennington said.
Police traced the truck to a rental agency, and then found a phone number for Meadows, the court documents said.
Investigators were also able to trace call and usage data for the cellphone, which they say was in Frederick at the time of the crime, specifically in locations close to an alley near Carroll Creek Linear Park, where the truck was allegedly parked during the robbery, the documents said.
Detectives also interviewed Meadows and a woman identified as his girlfriend. While conducting interviews at the woman's house along with a detective from the Metropolitan Police Department, Frederick police obtained permission to search her house.
There police found a magazine loaded with ammunition and an AR-15 rifle stamped "law enforcement or government use only" under a bed in the house, as well as four, 30-round magazines, a 10-round magazine and a front handle designed for the rifle, the documents said.
Two Frederick police detectives were in the vicinity of the jewelry store on the day of the robbery when the department was notified that it was being held up at gunpoint, police said.
As Detective Michael Morgan approached the store on foot, he saw several men wearing masks leave and run east on Patrick Street, police said.
Morgan chased the men until they got into a black pickup truck with Virginia tags and drove away. Morgan was able to get the license plate number, police said.
During the robbery, the suspects ordered employees and customers in the store to lie on the floor, while one of the men brandished a handgun, police said.
A surveillance video released by police showed the men smashing a pane of glass in a display case that contained the watches with what appears to be a mallet.
After removing the merchandise, one of the men squirted pepper spray into the air, exposing about 10 employees and customers.
Employees and customers who were exposed to the pepper spray were treated on scene. There were no other injuries.
Pennington said the investigation is continuing into the identity of the other two suspects.
"We are continuing to [work on this case] and follow leads," he said.
Ledwell said last week that there were "similarities" between the incident and an armed robbery on Feb. 4 at a Zales Jewelers in The Fashion Centre at Pentagon City.
In that incident, four men wearing masks walked into the Virginia store, and two of them used a hammer to smash display cases, according to The Washington Post. The men took 27 rings worth about $128,000.
Pennington said later in the week that detectives were still investigating whether there is a connection between the Pentagon City robbery and the Frederick incident.
"We have not made a determination whether it's connected or linked, but we are looking at it," he said.
The police department quickly thanked the public for its help in investigating the case.
"This type of crime inevitably causes fear and shock not only to the victims, but also to the surrounding community. Despite this, both the victims and the surrounding community pulled together, and helped the [police department] to quickly establish crucial leads," city Police Chief Thomas Ledwell said in the release. "We are very appreciative."
Before the arrest was announced, Patty Hurwitz, co-owner of the Colonial Jewelers, said that it was hard for her to talk about the robbery.
"We're trying to recover bit by bit," she said. "Our staff is doing reasonably well.... We have a very close-knit staff."
Hurwitz attributed the fact that no one was injured during the robbery to the staff's professionalism and training.
"I'm just glad no one was hurt," she said.
Anyone with information is asked to call Detective Morgan at 301-600-1259 or the tip line at 301-600-TIPS.

'The Adventures of Tintin' is The Best Comic Book Movie of the Year [Review]
As embarrassing as it might be for someone with my job to admit it, I've never read Tintin, the classic comic series by Belgian artist Hergé. It's always been described to me not only as a masterpiece, but as exactly the kind of genre-busting all-ages adventure story that I love, but it's just been one of those gaps in my comics knowledge that I've never gotten around to filling.

Composition Courses
This is a hands-on, lab-style course, focused on skills particular and unique to theater conducting. Each student will choose a different musical from a list of possibilities and during the course of the semester will prepare, analyze and conduct parts of it. Additionally, all students will conduct each other. Students will also sing, play, and read dialogue for each other in order to simulate specific, relevant theater conducting situations.
This is a lecture/discussion class, which begins with a brief history of the modern American musical and basic definitions of theater terminology. Topics discussed will cover the period from the 1920s through the present, following the development of the musical from its song-and-sketch and European operetta roots to the modern integrated music drama. The body of the course follows the journey of a show from its inception through to closing night. Each participant will choose a songwriter or songwriting team as a subject for an in-depth presentation for the rest of the class. Basic theater terminology will also be taught and students will be tested on history and theater craft.
This is a course designed to benefit both conducting students and vocalists who wish to hone their theater skills. Conducting students will observe the instructor coaching singers in theatrical material, both in performance and audition settings, eventually taking over the coaching under the instructor's supervision. The format is much like a master class. Each vocalist will have his/her moment to perform each week. Text and character analysis; choosing and fully realizing the dramatic action of the material; and determining the appropriate vocal style, correct key, and song's routine is discussed in each case. Emphasis is on the dramatic elements of the material as a basis for musical decisions, and how musical and theatrical aesthetics inform each other. Basic elements of song structure will also be addressed for the benefit of both singers and coaches. Vocalists may rehearse off-hours with conducting student/accompanists if they wish, but part of the training involves singing with pianists they have not rehearsed with to in order to improve communication skills with accompanists and simulate actual audition conditions.
Presentation and discussion on the topics of what it takes to succeed as a professional conductor in the 21st century. Several topics will be presented throughout the semester, including how to run a recording session, the business aspect of being a conductor, interpersonal responsibilities, management, and planning. Conducting remains one of the music's elusive professions: why do some succeed while others fail? Following Richard Strauss, we spend our whole lives trying to become better conductors, only to find out at the end of our lives how much more we have to learn. In addition, the financial and managerial aspects of our organizations and of our own careers ought never to be too far from our minds: for in them we occupy the dual roles of senior manager and principal artist.
This course instructs students in the fundamental principles of free counterpoint (i.e., composition with melodic lines) with an emphasis on two-part writing. Through the utilization of a three-pronged focus on principles, literature, and experiential practice, students complete exercises and projects involving composition and performance within the common-practice period with additional attention to and experience in contemporary tonal practice.
Free counterpoint within a functional tonal context. Emphasis on two-voice writing, binary, and melodic phrase forms.
Continuation of CP-211. A thorough study of canon and two-part invention through analysis and composition within a functional tonal language.
A thorough study of the Two and Three-Part Inventions of J.S. Bach through analysis and composition within a functional tonal language. There will be two projects, a two-part invention and a three-part invention in the style of Bach.
Analysis and writing of three- and four-voice imitative counterpoint based on traditional models. Models include fugue, chorale prelude, and passacaglia or chaconne.
The course is based on the examination of different realms of 20th-century counterpoint through the detailed analysis of contrapuntal styles and techniques of leading innovative composers such as Ravel, Stravinsky, Shostakovich, Hindemith, Bartók, Messiaen, Honegger, Barber, and composers of the New Viennese School. More recent stages in the evolution of counterpoint will be studied in examples by Ligeti, Lutoslawski, Penderecki, Schnittke, and Gubaidulina, as well as contemporary American composers (including Berklee composers).
A survey of the major styles in Western music from about A.D. 600 to the conclusion of the baroque. This includes a summary of ancient music. Audiovisual examples of scores and photographs of related works of art.
A survey of the major styles in Western music from the early classical period to the present. Audiovisual examples; correlation of characteristics of each period with activities in related arts.

The Chicken, the Fish and the King Crab
One of Spain's leading chefs sets out to defend his nation's honor on the field of culinary battle in this documentary from filmmaker Jose Luis Lopez-Linares. Jesus Almagro is a master chef who was named proclaimed Spain's finest cook in a nationwide poll in 2006, and in 2007 he's chosen to represent the country in the Bocuse d'Or, an international competition held in France which pits chefs from around the world against one another. While Spain has never fared well in the contest, many believe Almagro is the country's best hope of finally bringing home the prize. In the Bocuse d'Or competition, chefs are given five and a half hours to create two original dishes using certain specified ingredients; the dishes should incorporate their homeland's traditional flavors within the framework of classic French cuisine. As Almagro and his competitors are given chicken for one dish and king crab and halibut for the other, he strives to dream up something original, creative and delicious, and during his off-hours from the test kitchen, he offers his own thoughts on the virtues on each of the featured foodstuffs (and encounters them while they're still on the hoof). El Pollo, El Pez y El Cangrejo Real (aka The Chicken, The Fish and The King Crab) was an official selection at the 2008 Berlin Film Festival.~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide
