Rockets land 'foundational' player in James Harden
Associated Press | Last updated October 29, 2012
Now that they've landed James Harden, the Houston Rockets have bigger goals in mind. Rockets general manager Daryl Morey officially introduced Harden on Monday, calling him a ''foundational'' player for the team's rebuilding effort. Harden joined Houston in a stunning trade with Oklahoma City on Saturday night. Coupled with Jeremy Lin, Morey is hoping that the high-profile backcourt and the salary cap space created by the move will lure another star to Houston. The Thunder received shooting guard Kevin Martin in the deal, along with first-round draft pick Jeremy Lamb, a first-round draft pick and two second-round picks. Harden was finalizing a long-term contract with Houston on Monday. He says he'll be ready to play when the Rockets open the regular season in Detroit on Wednesday.

Samardzija May Get First Start
UPDATE: Looks like Lou made up his mind after the first game and it will be Sean Marshall getting the start on Sunday versus the Marlins.
Just a little scheduling note, that Lou has tabbed either Jeff Samardzija or Sean Marshall for Sunday's start against the Marlins due to today's doubleheader. That is if Marquis cannot go on short rest.
"I can't bring Harden back on short rest, but I can bring Marquis back possibly," Piniella said Wednesday. "By him pitching the day game, it gives him a little longer time. If not, we'll either pitch Samardzija or pitch [Sean] Marshall."
Other than possibly using Marquis on short rest, there was another reason Harden will pitch tonight's nightcap.
"I know he's told us his preference would be to pitch at night and in cooler weather," Piniella said
As always, blame Canada.
Re: Samardzija May Get First Start
Does it make a difference that Samardzija is now pitching?
Re: Samardzija May Get First Start
Maybe Lou pulled Marquis with an 8-2 lead so he can go on Sunday?
Re: Samardzija May Get First Start
if ninja does start he needs to be stretched out...all he's had is a string of 10-40 pitch outtings since he's come up.
dont think he'd be a prime candidate, though he does need to be "auditioned" there for next season.
Re: Samardzija May Get First Start
I'd be willing to bet it will be Marquis starting Sunday, too.
Re: Samardzija May Get First Start
i HATE these freaking braves, but apparently not as much as they hate soriano.
i really hope this doesn't get into a ridiculous situation the last two games. the braves are out of it and really don't care what they do in terms of suspensions, ejections, etc.
remember the insanity of that sunday night game with renteria hitting fontenot, lilly getting ejected for no real reason. all that after soriano hit three homers friday night and then got hit to start saturday.
lilly pitching tomorrow, could be a dangerous situation if bobby cox has a bug up his ass which i'm sure he will.
just chill out, no suspensions needed for this team right now.
Re: Samardzija May Get First Start
It'd be great if the Cubs had a clubhouse meeting now to reinforce exactly that.
Re: Samardzija May Get First Start
Normally I would agree with with you, but this crap has been going on for 2 seasons now and trying to hit Soriano in the head is the last straw for me. Somebody from the BP needs to nail Larry in the nightcap.
Re: Samardzija May Get First Start
Anybody see the pitch to Sori? How bad was it? I thought Renteria's play last year was one of the cheapest shots I have ever seen.
Nice to see Geo's bat back in action, and with some pop.
Your turn, Kosuke.
Re: Anybody see the pitch to Sori?
It was a hummer aimed directly for his head. He was lucky to get out of the way unscathed.
Re: Anybody see the pitch to Sori?
Any reason for the pitch other than the Cubs scored a lot of runs in game one?
Re: Anybody see the pitch to Sori?
soriano's habit of looking at his shots smiling like a 5 year old in awe of himself.
that said...soriano smiles like a 5 year old pretty much full-time.
reminds me of "classic pedro martinez"...the guy that was in a perma-good mood that took things and rolled with them.
the pitch at his head was probably supposed to be destined for his ribs, but soriano took it REALLY well. he just stepped back and...well, he smiled like a 5 year old.
soriano probably knew what it was about and didn't freak out about it "missing a little high"...very classy/cool stuff you (well, at I do) wanna see outta one of your star power hitters in a pennant chase.
Re: Anybody see the pitch to Sori?
...yeah they were showing it on the Atlanta broadcast. Chip started talking about a hope that things don't escalate, then the other dude justified the near-beaning by ripping into Soriano's HR trot. He really doesn't like Soriano. I hate HR trots too, but I still can't understand why everyone hates Soriano so much; he seems like a really nice dude.
Re: Samardzija May Get First Start
Yeah, but as we mentioned in the chat, Fonzie deserved it (not to the head, though) - he basically posed on a ball that turned out to be a single, then was making movements towards stealing 2nd after the game was way out of reach. Don't pull an Ozzie, Lou.
Re: Samardzija May Get First Start
How 'bout that Samardzija?
Wasn't that long ago that he was having all kinds of problems at the AA level.
Very early yet, but he has been a great boost.
Re: Samardzija May Get First Start
numbers and stats tend to have a hard time showing a physical progression of talent except in hindsight. he's had a crazy break since he "got his shit together".
i'm a little concerned about how much he uses his fastballs, but when he's got one that's mid90s with that kind of movement...wow. that's one hell of a starting point to build a pitching career around.
Re: Samardzija May Get First Start
Stats lie sometimes. Simple as that. He was damn near MLB-ready when we first saw him in spring training '07. His 2-seamer looked every bit as wicked as Zambrano's. You just like to see him learn to control that pitch over time.
Re: Samardzija May Get First Start
It's my understanding that he struggled to get hitters out in the lower levels because they had him working on his secondary pitches and so he wasn't focusing on using his best pitch (the power sinker) to get people out. The closer he got to the big leagues, the more they allowed him to pitch the way he normally would.
Re: Samardzija May Get First Start
I'd much rather see a reliever somehow fall off the mound and throw a beaner at Cox's head; he may be a great manager, but he's also a world - class d-ckhead.
Re: Samardzija May Get First Start
I think it is ok to say "dickhead" at the renewed TCR.
Besides, I am sure you are merely referring to the head of the Reds pitching coach, Dick Pole.
Re: Samardzija May Get First Start
you can't say dick pole on the internet, dude.
Re: Samardzija May Get First Start
Are you saying he's an [censored]hole?
I wouldn't mind seeing someone pull a Pedro to his Popeye at this point. It's getting re[censored]ulous.
(At the same time, I'd much rather he run more and showboat less, he almost [censored]ed up a double a couple weeks ago against the brewers because he thought it was out. HE didn't start running until he saw the donut at first base pointing the outfield throw to second.
Re: Samardzija May Get First Start
I think this team has no balls. Chipper better get one in the back sometime before we leave atlanta.
Re: Samardzija May Get First Start
Braves have nothing to lose by fucking with the Cubs. Cubs have everything to lose by fucking with the Braves. There is NOTHING to be gained by going head hunting for Chipper (or anyone else for that matter). All that does is risk injury to a Cub if they retaliate, and can put a key pitcher on the bench for a week, with the Brewers (yes, that "terrible team" of yours that is about to win their 8th in a row) right behind the Cubs.
That's the type of shit that was the beginning of the Cubs collapse in 2004 when the Astros got in Barrett's head.
Re: Samardzija May Get First Start
As Ozzie would say, "ey, you gotta play de games, and I don' know, but we steel gotta play da Royals plenty more times, so we'll see, Okayee?"
Like Desi Arnez as Ricky Riccardo, but without all that pesky baggage of intelligence.

The next 2 games are nationally televised. I think we dominate tonight, hitting 3 HRs off Shields. Great night for KB to end HR drought facing HR prone pitcher in one of the most hitter friendly parks in the league.
If the ball didn't deflect off the pitcher's mound, the game wouldn't have ended. Montgomery did miss his location though, but if that same contact was made and went in any of direction, good chance of ground out if it doesn't get through.
If it was 1 night later, Chapman would be out there and we probably would be going to extras.
Also, If KB wasn't robbed of a HR, perhaps we would have won. We will never know. Nice play by Melky though.
The comparison isn't Chapman replacing Rondon. It's Chapman replacing Richard (hopefully) in the pen. Chapman's better.
I'm with you, Rob. You pretty much summed up how I feel about it.
Been quite the roller-coaster the past two days -- both games, plus the Chapman kerfuffel. How about a couple of nice, comfortable wins before facing Sale? Cubs should definitely wear throwbacks for that game.
The Cubs are stronger defensively than most of the teams they play. In order to capitalize on that, they have to a) put the ball in play and b) run the bases aggressively.
That said, Cabrera has a strong, accurate arm, as witnessed by his 97 outfield assists over 12 seasons--mostly left field but also a lot of center. Bryant is rarely thrown out, but I guess you have to know who's throwing the ball.
On the other hand, Pries won his first start for Iowa, only giving up two HRs in the process. This trade has got some legs yet!
KB now with 0 RBI in his last 10 games and 1 in his last 15, despite having 19 hits in his last 15 games and raising his batting average from .278 to .286 over that span.
Maybe have Zobrist hit 2 and KB hit 4?
Also -- no HR in the last 15 games -- time for a bunch. Starting tomorrow.
Down a run. Fowler on first. Nobody out. KB singles to left, Fowler makes it to third, perfect throw from Cabrera nails KB trying to stretch for 2nd.
So, instead of 1st & 3rd and no out, you have 3rd with one out. It was a perfect throw, but why take the chance with 3-4-5 hitters coming up?
Must be a Cub thing - our lefties can;t get lefties out.
Splitting hairs, but Jake's pitch was poor execution, while KB's play was a poor decision (and the 2nd time he got thrown out trying to stretch in the game). Poor execution happens. Poor decisions are preventable. Speaking of poor decisions -- Baez's steal of 3rd made absolutely no sense.
Didn't Jake cost them the game with a pitch to Frazier?
Missed the play w/Bryant. What happened?
Not a good decision by Bryant in the 9th. That may have cost them the game.
Can we un-do the Montgomery deal? Please?

"I'm a storyteller, not a strategist
Anytime I get on the phone with a business who wants to hire me to do some social media work and they ask me about, analysis, measurement tools and anything that has to do with numbers I tell them "I'm an Indian person who is lousy at math. Contrary to popular belief we're not all good with numbers." My strength is the ability to tell great stories, and create content. Does that mean I'm useless? Absolutely not … and it's because there is a digital divide emerging."
I love the core message of this post -- for business success hire both a strategiest AND a storyteller!
Why? Because you will receive the best of both worlds. Not only will you identify and execute (hopefully) an winning social media strategy, you will also learn how to tell your business stories effectively in different social media channels. Yeah!

This wonderful piece was written by Milas Page - it is inspiring, it is true and it's what's is happening to many people as a result of interacting in social media.
The author talks about the "social mindset" connecting as human beings is what gets you in the door......
Here are some highlights:
**The Social Mindset sees the value in collaboration
**The Social Mindset cares about others – be it your customers, your employees, or your partners
**The Social Mindset lays the groundwork for the importance of listening
**The Social Mindset leads you to realize you can help – therefore makes you open to helping when an opportunity arises
**The Social Mindset surrounds you with positive thinking and empowers you to realize you can make a change
What's the point, she asks? I'm quoting Milas because I couldn't have said it better..........
An interaction like the she refers to in this piece is between her and another person whom in the past she would have closed the door but social media has made her see people in a different light.
"Tirelessly one door at a time, trying to activate communities. Now an interaction like that can not only reach me, it can reach you.
Messages amplified, reach expanding.Making the human connection is what get's you in the door."
** "Then think about the implications this has in our world, I believe it has many and it's a good thing. Companies and people who embrace social as a mindset will change this world, one person – one cause, one workplace at a time"
How has it changed you?

OK -- what's this got to do with biz storytelling? Well, everything!
I love the author's point: biz storytelling is how you imagine and re-imagine stories that will get your audiences inspired. Mitch Joel has other points to make in this article to help you build desire, which is also important.
Engaging audiences is hard enough to do. But sharing compelling stories about you, your company, your products/services is very powerful to build engagement.
But I'm thinking that these days, more and more, our biz storytelling needs to be about something greater than simply engaging our audiences -- we need to inspire them.
How do you inspire them? We can do this not only by following Mitch's tips, but by adding a story we forget to tell -- our future story.
This is a story about your vision of the future -- the future you are creating with your business and how customers, by being in a relationship with you, help create that future. Now that can be awesomely inspiring. Think TOMS shoes. Think Toyota's Prius. Think your company. How is your work making a difference? Start there. Keep exploring. The story is just below the surface. Find it. Bring it alive. Share it. Keep the inspiration flowing.

Wow, thank you so much for sharing this! Ana, to your question about not having women speakers, we've only just started this show, and this was the second episode. We do plan on having women panelists for future episodes, and some very influential ones at that. There are some really big plans for this format for the future.
Karen Dietz's comment, March 8, 2013 12:37 PM
Good to know Tommy! Thanks for jumping in and giving us an update.
From Karen: What a great article that is related to business storytelling! Biz storytelling is all about finding and sharing stories that create engagement. The steps below give tips for how to do this: listening, conversations, etc. I particularly like the last point: go offline -- because that is when storytelling REALLY starts happening, and where relationships are cemented.
So if you're not engaging on social media because you think "everyone else is doing it, so why bother," or you just don't think people are going to notice your content, that's a cop out. If you have something interesting to say, then SAY IT. You never know when your tweet, post, blog or video will be exactly what someone was hoping to find on any particular day.
Wait. Let's back this train up.
Before I go further, let me say first that you really have to buy in to the importance of even showing up. I mean, why talk about breaking through clutter if you don't believe there's value in adding your 2 cents to social conversations. You have to know who you want to talk to and where they play. What's your objective and what's your message? No need to figure out how to get people's attention if you don't know WHY you want their attention.
Once you have that all squared away, then by all means, start breaking through and turning heads. Here's how.
1) Develop a noticeable social presence. This is the bare minimum, but you'd be surprised how many brands and businesses don't have completed profiles. So here's the starting point—make your profiles interesting. Social media is fun, so have fun with your profiles! Post funny pictures. Have a sense of humor. And engage. Don't talk at—talk with. Social media is a two-way street, not a commercial.
2) Listen to the conversations. You know how when you're at a party and you walk up to a group of people, you wait a moment before you jump in? You don't want to be rude, so you listen first to see what they're talking about. You can learn a lot by listening. Figure out who your customers are talking to in their social circles, and listen. This will help you craft your message to be more targeted. More interesting, if you will. And your message will rise to the top.
3) Be an equal-opportunity player. I almost deleted that because it sounds bad—but it's interesting, so I'm going with it. What I mean is, it's impossible to engage with your entire audience and drive your message through if you aren't playing on several social networks. This may mean your social promotion campaign lives in various forms on several networks in order to be relevant. Not everyone tweets. Not everyone posts. Not everyone pins. But you, my friend, are a marketer, which means you speak the language of the people, wherever they are. You know. When in Rome.
4) Create a conversation, not just a campaign. A campaign is a good place to start—but don't end there. If you take away nothing else but this today, fine. Just get this: Marketing on social media is NOT about advertising and promotion. If you're on Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest to just sell your stuff and promote the heck out of it, you don't stand a chance of breaking through the clutter. People will turn a blind eye. Consumers are advertised to all day long, in so many ways. But a brand who actually engages with them? Listens to them? Asks questions and responds back to theirs? Now that is something they'll notice. Trust me.

5 tips on how to cut through the social media clutter and turn audience's heads, i think these tips are valid because nearly everyone is using social media as a marketing tool so naturally, the clutter is forever growing. The tip i agreed with the most was number 4 (create a conversation, not just a campaign). This rang true with me as i tend to ignore advertising messages on social media, however i am more likely to pay attention to an active conversation between a brand and its customers.
Malee Van Den Berg's curator insight, September 15, 2014 8:53 PM
This article provides tips on how to cut through the clutter in social media. Can be very useful and relevant for many businesses since the use of social media as an advertising and marketing platform is growing rapidly. The article encourages businesses to be interesting and engage with networks by using social media in an effective not careless way.
Duy Long Dang's curator insight, October 1, 2014 2:49 AM
there are five ways to beat the clutter and the most interesting way for me is the number 2, which is listern to the conversation
This article is from Brian Solis , and in collboration with Barnickel Design, they have created this infograph that clearly shows that there is a perception gap
what customers want and what executives think they want.based on research from Pivot referring "The Perception Gap"
Jan Gordon: My commentary
Hopefully this article and findings will help to provide some clarity so marketers can begin to engage with their customers, in a way that is meaningful to them. Word of mouth spreads like wildfire and you'll want to make sure your business is listening, engaging and responding to their needs before someone else does.
Here are some highlights:
** 76% of marketers feel they know what their customers want yet only 34% have asked customers
**59% of social customers wish to engge businesses for buying insights and customer service respectively, on the contrary only 37% of marketers believe that these services re in demand by their customers
**Take a look at Actual Consumer usage VS marketers' perceptions of consumer usage on the infograph, there is definitely a gap in perception here
mobile social apps
**15% of consumers use them on Linkedin, marketers think it's more like 36. 7%
**twitter 35% useage - marketers perceive this to be 82%
Daily deal & coupon sites
**Facebook usage is 35%
**Marketers perceive this to be 56%

Molly Frances Sheridan's curator insight, May 13, 8:51 PM
I like this "vs" one because it is laid out differently than the one in the example. But sometimes it gets a little confusing to understand the comparison they're making so they could have explained better.
This article explains the importance of storytelling in the workplace and suggests ways to build awareness of your own story. (I see so many negative stories out there. Be careful how you talk about your opportunities.
Here's what I like about this article -- it's pointing out the fact that the stories we tell about our business define us. Not getting the results you want? Find a new (and still authentic) story to share.
One single story that stereotypes a business is not written in stone. Any business, any group, any person is a complex of stories. If you are not happy with the story that you are telling about your business, or that others are telling about your business, start promoting a different story.
This article gets us thinking about the opportunity and perhaps our next action steps.

UA students rebuild baseball field in Sumter community
Published: Friday, February 20, 2009 at 3:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, February 20, 2009 at 11:25 p.m.
The field consisted of nothing more than a couple of posts strung together with chicken wire.
Trash littered the run between bases, and the soggy ground made a good game nearly impossible.
Last fall, someone ripped out the rotten posts and threw out the tangled chicken wire. A well-constructed backstop appeared. A week ago on Valentines Day, concrete forms had been constructed, mapping out the location of the anticipated sidewalks and dugouts.
These are just some of the changes one will see firsthand if he or she visits the brand new baseball field at Kinterbish Junior High School in Cuba, Ala. A group of UA engineering students will continue working on this project in the Sumter County community this Saturday.
The project was first introduced to engineering students in the classroom as a way to engage the community, promote exercise and health, and give the kids a safe place to play.
According to Phil Moncayo, a senior civil engineer major and director of Local Projects for the group, the team is revitalizing Americas favorite past-time.
Not only does the team hope to throw the ceremonial first pitch on April 4, the Dixie Youth South plans to use the new field for league games.
The community will benefit. They are participating in the project, and I expect that that field will be used for baseball and softball at every age level in the community, said Philip Johnson, associate professor of civil construction and environmental engineering.
The team plans to meet the concrete truck on location early Feb. 21 and to fill the forms placed on Valentines Day. At a safety meeting held Monday, Feb. 16, students were reminded to encourage one another out of bed early Saturday, bring their tools and a good pair of mud boots.
The students will benefit from engaging in a "higher-order learning experience," Johnson said.
The budget for this project is estimated at $20,000. Participation is not limited to engineering students; anyone can help, and the community is encouraged to join in the construction. At least 40 people postponed Valentines Day festivities to participate, and the team estimates 40-50 people, including the students, will be on location Saturday, Feb. 21.
Michael Black, an Alabama graduate in civil construction and a current employee at URS Washington Division has agreed to act as a professional mentor for the duration of the project.

THe question is how much revenue will requisite contribute for this quaters numbers. I have a feeling the revenue number will be close but that the acquisition will not be accretive for at least another quarter as every other press release stated that it will be accretive in a particular time frame. Did we ever find out how much requisite had in revenue in the last fiscal year. If it is close to 20 million then I can see us exceeding the revenue estimates.
"THe question is how much revenue will requisite contribute for this quaters numbers. "CKCM will only have the acquisition for 1 month not the entire quarter. Therefore, they will get 1/3 of the revenue that they would have if they had the acquistion for the full quarter.The acquisition of Requisite will likely be accretive almost immediately because the old owners appear to have already "resized" Requisite for an acquisition.

SBIR Phase I: BeZnO UV Detector

Research Institution:
AbstractThis Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project will assess new designs for single-element solid state ultraviolet (UV) detectors based on BeZnO alloy material with cut-off wavelengths 300 to 370 nm, thereby eliminating undesired visible and infrared (IR) radiation. Photomultiplier tubes (PMTs) and silicon photodiodes can be used for selective UV detection in this region. PMTs are bulky and require high bias voltages (ca. 1000 V), and both PMTs and silicon possess a broad spectral response. System quantum efficiencies, near 30%, are reduced by filtering. Wide band gap BeZnO semiconductor materials can now be grown with optical cutoff wavelengths in the desired UV range. The research objectives are to develop a new class of high-sensitivity UV detectors featuring high-speed response, compactness, lightness, low operational voltage, low noise current, high quantum efficiency, high visible/IR rejection, and high radiation hardness. The crystallinity, electrical, and optical properties of BeZnO will be characterized and theoretical simulations performed to optimize layer sequences and doping profiles for metal-semiconductor-metal (MSM) UV detectors. Anticipated technical results are 300 to 370 nm cutoff wavelength, greater or equal than 5 orders of magnitude UV to Visible/IR responsivity, 60% QE, and 0.1 to 1 microsec response time. The broader impact/commercial potential of this project will be enhancement of scientific and technological understanding of the crystalline qualities of BeZnO semiconductor materials and how crystalline defects impact optical responsivity in the ultraviolet (UV) and in the visible and infrared (IR) spectral regions. Relating defect types and densities to optical response is of interest in photodetector development. Detection of UV in the presence of large visible/IR backgrounds has many commercial and military applications. Commercial applications include flame and heat sensors, medical sterilization monitoring, plasma diagnostics, Earth monitoring from look-down space platforms, sniper location by law enforcement, early stage sparking failure in high voltage transmission lines/transformers, and combustion engine monitoring. UV detectors can be used to determine if a flame is associated with a hot object, an important consideration in fire detection systems. Military applications include the detection of missile/gun plumes, missile guidance, base perimeter monitoring and detection of enemy combatants, and detection of biological/chemical agents for defense and homeland security. The technology can be further developed such that light-weight, high-resolution, and high-speed 1-D and 2-D imaging systems can be deployed. The technology area is semiconductor-based optical sensors, and the market sector is UV radiation monitoring.

Product Description
The Sprout Chair offers an ideal, comfy fit during all stages of your child's development.
View larger.
By changing and growing with your child, the OXO Tot Sprout Chair offers an ideal, comfy fit during all stages of your child's development. The high-chair setting, featuring three seat height-and-depth settings, a gentle crotch post, adjustable food tray, and five-point harness, is great for children 6 to 36 months old. Parents can easily adjust the tray with just one hand so children can easily reach their food, regardless of how fast they grow. And the footrest includes four different settings to ensure your child's legs are comfortable while they sit. The seat, back and cushions are contoured for comfort and to promote "sitting up straight."
The Sprout Chair is available in the following styles:
Orange/Birch (left), Taupe/Birch (center), and Green/Walnut (right).
Once children have reached three years old, parents can convert the high chair to a youth chair, as shown on the far right. An extra cushion comes included. The chair can then also lowered to table height, so your child can enjoy meals with the rest of the family.
This Sprout Chair measures 12 1/4 x 19 x 37 inches (L x W x H)
Tool-Free and Easy to Clean for Your Convenience
The Sprout Chair allows parents to easily build and adjust the seat height and depth, tray, and footrest with just a few quick motions. The tray provides a stable setting for children to eat from, and can easily contain accidental spills up to seven ounces within its walls. For big messes, the cushions are easily wipeable so parents can quickly clean crumbs and other sticky messes off the chair for the next mealtime.
Built for Safety and Comfort
The Sprout Chair complies with both the ASTM and CPSIA standards. Both colorful cushions are BPA-, phthalate-, and PVC-free, so parents can feel reassured that their children are eating in a safe environment.

Customer Reviews

It came with a few more pieces than I thought it would but assembly was not hard at all. The instructions were not that clear, however, it was self explanatory on how to assemble. Once I had it built I was so impressed with it. I tried it out with my daughter, 6 months, with the sticker still on the tray. I was able to pull her up to the table with me. The great thing is you are able to remove the tray and push the chair up to the table and it is the perfect height. My daughter was sitting at the table with us instead of by herself. You could tell she likes feeling more included.
One thing my daughter never has liked is being strapped in. A lot of straps are also really harsh material and dig into their neck or skin even if not tightened. I love the straps/harness for this chair. Very easy to adjust and does not bother her one bit. The thing I love, you can tell by my photos I am adding, that once the harness is on her with a bib, you cannot see the straps. I have not had to worry about her getting her favorite food, sweet potatoes, all over them.
I own another conventional high chair that claimed to have a swing out tray. I hated that high chair and the tray did not swing out. The company stated you can hold you baby while opening the chair. It never worked for me.Read more ›
First, the cushions can only be wiped down with a wet cloth and the bottom side can't even get wet because it is an absorbent type material.
Second, the velcro which is supposed to hold the seat cushion in place stops working properly after a few months and it is because of that fabric I mentioned on the bottom of the cushion.
Lastly, the biggest and MAJOR problem with this chair is the tray design. It is constructed of two halves that screw together with a dozen screws and even if you run a little water on this tray to assist in washing it off, the water gets inside the tray and is near impossible to get out. I took it apart once because I could see pink mildew forming around the parting line. Luckily the first time that is all it was. The second time though was tonight before I wrote this review. I took the trays apart and I was in disbelief. There was pink mildew all over the inside of the tray and even food particles that had gotten in. It was absolutely disgusting and makes me furious. I had to completely take apart the tray (there are four other pieces inside the tray that have white grease all over them) and scrub in ever crevice. And let me tell you there are TONS of places for water to sit after looking at this thing. And only two very tiny drain holes for the entire tray.
OXO should recall this in my opinion. The tray is a breeding ground for germs and mildew or mold. I will be contacting the company immediately.
Really nice design, is not an eye sore in my kitchen
Plastic seat and cushions are easy to wipe clean and comfortable to sit in
Crotch post keeps baby from submarining under the chair
Shoulder harness (the Tripp Trapp etc only has a waist belt) keeps a squirmy baby from crawling out of the chair, and a younger baby from flopping over.
Good sized plastic tray, ONE HANDED RELEASE (so important when you have a baby in one arm, and the tray in the other!!!)
The seat is height adjustable
I like to rest my foot on the foot rest--great for mama, good for baby when he is old enough to climb into the chair himself.
This chair is advertised to slide up to the dinner table to allow toddlers to eat with the grown ups, just like the Tripp Trapp and the Keekaroo.Read more ›

BBB: Moving forward means keeping up with technology
The phone books get delivered outside our condo building each year. One of the residents hauls them into the common area for each owner to take into their home. Those same books get delivered to the BBB office, one for each of the 25-plus telephones we have. Quite the pile of books in both locations.
At home, the majority of books go directly from the entryway to the recycle tubs. At work, they sit in a corner until someone gets tired of looking at them. Almost all of those, too, end up in the recycle bin.
But last week I was sitting in the passenger seat of a rental car in Washington, D.C., wishing I had a phone book … to sit on! Passenger seats that do not adjust up and down make it really hard for us short people to see over the dashboard.
So I guess there are still uses for the directories. But I am beginning to wonder just how many people actually use traditional phone books anymore. In looking at the BBB's 2012 budget, we are spending thousands of dollars on listings in Central Washington, Montana and North Idaho so people can find the number for our BBB office here in Spokane, which serves their areas.
Years ago we helped people select good businesses or resolve complaints via phone calls. Now, 98 percent of our services are delivered over the Internet. What do you do when you need a phone number? Google or Yellow Page it? Or call 411 and ask them?
I am aware that the directory industry employs all sorts of people, and we are talking about jobs. But we are also talking about relevance.
Younger staff in my office think we need to drop all these directory listings. They really see no use for a phone book and think the money could be better spent. I have to admit, they did persuade me to drop our 800 numbers in this age of free long-distance with cell phones, and that went off without a whimper from anyone. So maybe they are right on this issue, too. But I am still on the fence.
I asked my intake folks to ask callers where they found our number, and 411 is leading this survey so far, with the phone book a close second. But if it were not in the book, could they still find it without us spending all that money?
Business is changing so fast these days. We are constantly evaluating where we need to focus our resources. If we blog about a topic and it catches fire, we reach 50,000 people – much more effective than one phone conversation. If we post a scam alert on our Facebook page and it gets shared by hundreds of people exponentially, we have reached hundreds of thousands. So is that where our attention should be? But when my 85-year-old dad needs help figuring out if he should make that donation or move his health insurance, we must also be ready to take his phone call and help him make that decision.
In the past if an interesting scam story aired on KHQ at 6 p.m., we could track the jump in referrals to our website from the TV station. I could see our Web hits peak on Sundays when The Spokesman-Review ran such a column. But now everything is so diluted with multiple choices of where to get information that those of us in business find it increasingly difficult to figure out who we are reaching where, and how often.
So where should businesses focus our resources as we plan for 2012 and beyond? Does current consumer engagement require a shotgun approach? If that is the case, how will we measure success? Do we abandon the shrinking phone book users, many of whom are elderly or low-income, and put resources into social media? How do we reach our potential and current customers? We will keep trying new things, evaluating and measuring and changing, just like everyone else.

Leaders and replies
Thursday 16 November 2006
Letters: We welcome the inclusion of a climate bill in the Queen's speech (Report, November 14).
Leader: The days when the jingling of the weekly pay packet set the rhythm of domestic life are long gone, with most people routinely spending significant sums of money that they have never held in their hands.
Leader: All of us have much to thank stem cells for: they are the flexible building blocks from which each and every human being is constructed in the first place and they repair us throughout life.
Leader: Even Tony Blair sounded unconvinced by the slogan wrapped around yesterday's Queen's speech, 'security in a changing world', a thin cover for a package that carried with it a strong sense of old strategies and unfinished business.

My husband and I just returned form our second trip/vacation to Casa Velas. Our first time visiting Casa Velas in 2011 was great, this time was even better!
From the titme we entered the Casa Velas lobby on our first day until we left, service at this hotel was once again top-notch.
We requested our same room that we had stayed in last year and we were granted this request without any problems. Our favorite place at Casa Velas is the Beach Club. Once again the service by the staff there exceeded all of our expectations. The food--lunch and dinner is excellent and the drinks are plentiful! Jorge, Rangel & Daniel--3 of the best guys you will ever meet while relaxing poolside or on the beach!
After a day at the Beach Club, we would have a late afternoon drink on the patio. Bennie always served drinks with a smile. By the second day he knew our names and drink preferences! Claudia and Bernadino always made our evening dining at Emilianos exceptional!
One of the highlights of our 10 days at Casa Velas was feeding the resident peacock at breakfast! Breakfast at Emiliano's was always prepared as ordered. It is so relaxing to sit poolside and begin your day.
The spa--one word--EXCELLENT!
We walked every day to the Beach club and many afternoons down to Marina Vallarta. Please do not let negative press about violence in Mexico keep you away from the beautiful city of Puerto Vallarta or Casa Velas. We never felt threatened or unsafe in our surroundings. We even walked back to Casa Velas in the evening after our sunset sail (Vallarta Adventures) from the marina.
Casa Velas truly exceeded our expectations. It is such a beautiful and relaxing place. We are already counting down the weeks until we return in 2013. I am sure that even more great things will be in store for us!
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):

Healing hopes
HOUSTON – She can talk, even saying short sentences. With some help, she can walk. She also knows that she was shot.
But for doctors, some of the greatest moments in treating Rep. Gabrielle Giffords occur when her true personality shines through and she shares big grins and excitement over milestones in her recovery from a devastating gunshot wound to the head.
"That's Gabby. It's a constant, wonderful thing," said Dr. Dong Kim, a neuroscientist.
Doctors provided the new details about Giffords' condition Friday, their first official update since she began intensive rehabilitation in Houston on Jan. 26. Until now, tidbits of information came from friends and family, but the doctors, those with the understanding and knowledge of what each setback and step forward means for long-term recovery, remained tight-lipped.
Kim and two other members of her medical team described several breakthroughs in Giffords' recovery from her brain injury, saying she has made "leaps and bounds."
He breathing tube was removed last week, a "fist-pump" moment, said Dr. Imoigele Aisiku, a neurosurgeon. She also can express desires, such as "I'm tired. I want to go to bed."
Giffords can't remember the shooting, but her husband, astronaut Mark Kelly, has told her about the incident, though it remains unclear whether she knows six people were killed and 12 others injured at the Jan. 8 political event outside a supermarket in Tucson, Ariz.
The demeanor of the news conference was largely subdued – until the doctors were asked whether Giffords' personality was starting to surface. Then, the three men grinned and nodded simultaneously. They snickered with affection.
"She has a personality that's already showing through," Kim said. "She's very upbeat, focused on getting better. She hasn't shown us depression, and she's just been very forward-looking and even with the speech she's not showing much frustration."
That Giffords is showing emotion is especially encouraging because the bullet pierced the front of her head, an area that controls personality. Some people shot in the front may recover their ability to speak but never truly show emotion again, said Dr. Steve Williams, chairman of rehabilitative medicine at Boston University.
While doctors were enthusiastic about Giffords' progress and Francisco said it was better than they had expected, they refused to commit to her being well enough to travel to Cape Canaveral, Fla., to watch her husband rocket into space as the commander of the Endeavour space shuttle when it launches on its last mission next month.
Giffords had a piece of her skull removed shortly after the shooting to allow room for brain swelling, and has been wearing a helmet adorned with an Arizona state flag. Doctors said they expect to reattach the skull in May, but she would be able to travel before that happens.
Friends and family say they are planning for her to attend the launch.
Saving for the future
sponsored According to two 2015 surveys, 62 percent of Americans do not have enough savings to handle an unexpected emergency, much less any long-term plans.


text: Singer/songwriter Lisa Cerbone has always spoken for the most vulnerable among us in her songs. Her fourth recording, "We Were All Together" is a spare, hushed collection written during the edges of her days and taped when her children were at school or asleep late at night. In her lyrics and vocal melodies, you can hear her reaching out of that solitude to pull the listener into a place where affection and forgiveness can heal the ache of isolation and loss. Her acoustic finger-style guitar-playing references older influences such as Paul Simon and Neil Young, while the production's velvety textures and minimalist approach reference newer indie influences such as Maria Taylor and the Great Lake Swimmers.
