ROCHESTER, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The San Diego Chargers football team purchased a CARESTREAM DRX-Ascend System for use at Qualcomm Stadium in time for the 2014 NFL season. Diagnostic imaging workstations are being installed in both home and visiting team locker rooms to allow for medical image viewing by physicians and trainers from both the Chargers and visiting teams.
This installation spotlights Carestream Health's focus on providing its digital X-ray technology for use in sports medicine. Several NFL teams and other professional sports organizations also have adopted Carestream's leading medical imaging systems for use in diagnosing player injuries.
"The DRX-Ascend system delivers high-quality X-ray images in seconds, which will help trainers and physicians accurately diagnose and treat injuries or other medical conditions. It also will enable our medical staff to more quickly and accurately determine whether a player can return to the game or if further treatment is necessary," said James Collins, Chargers head athletic trainer.
The DRX-Ascend is used for X-ray exams at hospital radiology departments, imaging centers, clinics and specialists' offices. This system is designed to simplify weight-bearing, cross-table and tabletop imaging studies with a versatile floor-mounted tube stand and a wide, elevating float-top table with a weight capacity of 650 pounds. Users can customize the stand, tables and accessories to match budget and workflow needs.
"Our digital imaging systems are being adopted by sports organizations because they offer not only excellent image quality but also immediate image access. Having the ability to accurately assess an athlete's condition can help prevent further injury," said Diana L. Nole, President, Digital Medical Solutions, Carestream. "We are also investing in the research and development of new imaging systems for use in sports medicine that will offer additional advantages, particularly for diagnosis of traumatic brain injuries."
The DRX-Ascend system is part of Carestream's flexible family of DRX systems that include portable and room-based systems. Carestream also offers the ability to retrofit existing room or portable imaging systems with DRX detectors, which enables healthcare providers to affordably convert from film or CR to a fully featured digital radiography solution.
About the San Diego Chargers
The San Diego Chargers originated as the Los Angeles Chargers of the American Football League in 1960. The team relocated to San Diego in 1961 and captured the American Football League championship in 1963. Since joining the National Football League when the two leagues merged in 1970, the Chargers have won 11 AFC West division titles, including six titles in the last 10 seasons. The team has played in 28 playoff games. Purchased by construction leader and real estate developer Alex G. Spanos in 1984 and under the guidance of Spanos' eldest son Dean – now the team's Chairman of the Board-President since 1994, the Chargers won the AFC Championship and played in Super Bowl XXIX. The Chargers are Southern California's only NFL franchise and all Chargers games are annually the highest-rated television programming in San Diego. The Chargers play their home games at Qualcomm Stadium and the Spanos family, nationally renowned as one of San Diego's and the NFL's most philanthropic families, has invested millions of dollars in an effort to secure a new Super Bowl-quality stadium for San Diego.

Background for Teachers
This is a very brief introductory video on stream ecology by Dr. Stephen Coghlan, University of Maine, Orono. After watching the video students should draw and explain their interpretation of how a stream works (as presented in the video). Steve's approach is to follow matter and energy through the system. As our focus is on the macroinvertebrates that live in the system here is an overview:
Macroinvertebrates are animals that are visible to the naked eye and have no backbone. Most stream invertebrates are insects (either larval forms or adults) but, there are some that are not- worms, snails, mussels, crayfish and leeches to name a few. This field chart can give you an idea of the diversity of macroinvertebrates:
Stream Foodwebs
Chances are very good that you have seen a food web before. For terrestrial (on land, often forest) food webs you might see something that looks like this:
Figure 1- source: http://mrsmaine.wikispaces.com/Southeast+1
In this food web there are herbivores, carnivores and omnivores. There are also detritivores and decomposers. And most students can tell where they get their energy and materials for living:
Trophic level
Energy and materials for living from:
A little bit of everything
Intact dead things
Intact or already broken down dead things
While most food for terrestrial foodwebs comes from plants that are eaten right where they grow this is not the case for streams, especially small streams. Much of the plant material at the bottom of the stream food web comes from plant material that falls into the stream. The plant material may be consumed far from where it grew.
Most stream macroinvertebrates are omnivores—eating the plant material and the microbial organisms that have colonized the plant material.
Figure from-http://www.cbd.int/programmes/areas/water/toolkit/html/1.8.2b_food_webs.html
This makes stream food webs a bit different than terrestrial foodwebs. The stream food web still traces how energy and materials for living move from organism to organism, but how animals eat becomes just as important as what animals eat. Macroinvertebrates are classified by their functional feeding group- their feeding mechanisms--
Functional Feeding Group
Energy and materials for living from…
How they get their food…
Trophic level
Large pieces of leaves and tree pieces, and the bacteria and fungi that have already started to break down the plant material
Have strong, sharp mouthparts that allow them to shred and chew
Collectors (also called gatherers and filterers)
Smaller pieces of shredded plant material,and the bacteria and fungi living on the shredded plant material
Sieve the water through rows of tiny hairs or nets that they have spun. They may also have mouth parts that create a vacuum to suck things up
Scrapers (also called grazers)
Algae, fungi, bacteria, diatoms, tiny pieces of shredded plant material found on the surfaces of rocks and debris
Have scraping mouthparts
Herbivores (mostly)
Other living animals
Some engulf their prey—eating it whole or in parts. Others pierce their prey—eating live animal tissues
Why is this important? Because streams are such a patchy environment that the relative abundance of the different functional feeding groups can tell us a lot about stream conditions—much more so than classifying organisms into herbivore, carnivore and predator.
The stream food web is summarized (a larger version can be downloaded):
Students understand:
- How the energy necessary for life moves through a stream system
- That different stream organisms have different strategies and adaptations for eating
Students produce a diagram of a stream and explain, in their own words, how stream organisms get their food
Where does this lesson happen in the Project?
This lesson is in Unit 1: Building Background Understanding. It introduces the basics of stream ecology and should be used with the Habitat Connectivity lesson to begin the project.
Getting Ready
Ask your students to tell you anything they can about streams and what lives in streams- how many fish, what different types, what do they eat (ask the same questions if the students start with frogs or salamanders, as we are betting they will not start with macroinvertebrates)? Where do all animals ultimately get their food (plants)? Where are the plants in streams? How do those non-fish organisms get their food? List all student information on a board.
Explain that, for this project, the students will need to understand how streams work as habitat for organisms and that they will be diagramming the stream system for themselves and then creating a reference diagram for the class to use while they are working on this project.
- Internet connection and access to the Stream Ecology video (https://vimeo.com/51613094)
- Video Question Sheet
- Video Question Sheet
- Question Worksheet
Student Prerequisites
- Students need to have a basic understanding of what a habitat is and that all organisms need energy to live
- Our energy for living comes from the sun, through plants to other organisms and to us
Time Needed
One class period (or less), can be combined with the second activity in this Unit: Habitat Connectivity.
Doing the Activity
Ask students to share what they know about streams, or ask them to describe a stream that they are familiar with or have seen.
Watch the video. It is very short; you may want to watch it more than once.
After watching the video students should create their own diagram of the stream system and answer questions about the video. If possible, ask the students to create the diagram in the context of the stream that they are familiar with.
Students should share diagrams with each other and then make a general classroom stream system diagram- to be used as a reference as this project moves forward.
Have your students explain their stream system diagrams to each other, have students write down the questions that they have about the stream system and their diagrams.
Having watched Dr. Steve Coghlan's video it may be possible for students to think about the how a stream changes from beginning to end. Have students draw an entire stream- is it exactly the same from start to end? Would the same creatures live in all parts of it? What might some differences be?
Ask a question; design a way to answer the question.
Using the Question Worksheet, ask students, individually, or in groups, to write down as many questions as they have about macroinvertebrates (individual species, interactions, competition, food preferences, habitat preference, etc.). From the list of questions have the students choose one or two. Ask the students to design a method to answer the question. If there is time- present some of the questions and designs and discuss the merit of the research design.
Have students explain the stream system to their parents, siblings or another class.
Lesson Extensions and Supplements
Ask students to bring in a picture of a stream (or using classroom resources they can find a picture of a stream). Share those pictures, look for and discuss similarities and differences in the pictures.
Ask about things you cannot see:
- What do you think the bottom is like?
- Do you think the water is warm or cold?
How deep do you think this stream is?

WASHINGTON — The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau said Thursday it was requesting public comment on the best ways for Congress to help struggling student loan borrowers.
The agency and others have been increasingly concerned in recent years that the $1 trillion in outstanding student loan debt is setting up the next potential financial crisis, noting similarities between student loans and mortgages. Private student loans make up about 15% of the overall debt outstanding.
The CFPB said many borrowers face high payments but lack chances to modify or refinance those loans.
"Too many private student loan borrowers are struggling with unwieldy debt that prevents them from climbing the economic ladder," said CFPB Director Richard Cordray, in the release. "We will be analyzing plans for policymakers to consider that might help avoid a repeat of the mortgage meltdown for today's student loan borrowers."
The CFPB released a formal request for information asking for comments on several issues, including: the impact of student debt on the economy and how it hinders access to mortgages and car loans; how distressed borrowers manage their debt obligations; lower monthly payment options that exist for student loan borrowers; and other alternative payment options that could be applied to the student loan market.
The CFPB will be taking comments through its website until April 8.

The Sandinistas introduced a major programme of land redistribution and a significant expansion of public health care and education services. However, initial gains were undermined under the impact of an armed opposition (the contra) organized and promoted by the U.S., a collapse of international raw material prices in the early 1980s, and Sandinista policy errors, including an over-ambitious programme of large-scale investments. ... read full story / add a comment

Days of protests in Iran have caught statesmen, analysts and observers by surprise, even though the anti-austerity and anti-establishment sentiments behind this primarily working-class revolt have been brewing for years. All the same, surprise is not a common reaction across the media. An early analysis offered in a tweet by the popular and self-styled Marxist pundit, Ali Alizadeh, captures a sentiment which is common across an array of responses to these events from individuals and groups as disparate, in both aim and ideas, as the Iranian reformists, the Iranian postcolonial left, and middle class Iranians both inside and outside Iran. Alizadeh asks: Do you realize that it is because [the Islamic Republic of Iran (IRI)] is secured and external threats [to Irans national security] have been minimized [by the policies of the IRI], that the right to protest [inside Iran] is now recognized [by the IRI government]? [This is why I] insist that [regional] security is the prerequisite to everything else, including [civil, political and personal] freedoms. ... read full story / add a comment

The protests against the high cost of living in the cities of Khorasan province on December 28th soon spread to many cities of Iran incredibly quick and almost turned into a revolt within a week. The protests primarily targeted the high cost of living, financial difficulties and corruption. However, they quickly became politicized and began to target the foundations of the Islamic Republic (IR), namely the religious autocracy. The slogans quickly turned from death to high cost of living to death to the dictator. ... read full story / add a comment

Hace ya años hubo un debate muy vivo e intenso en círculos politológicos en nuestro país sobre el tipo de régimen político que existía en España durante el periodo 1939-1978. Algunos politólogos, como el Sr. Juan Linz, de la Universidad de Yale (muy influyente en España, maestro de muchos de los profesores de Ciencias Políticas más conocidos en este país), sostenían que aquel régimen había sido un régimen autoritario, o lo que podría llamarse una dictadura a secas, sin más. Su misión era mantener el orden y la autoridad, siendo su dimensión represiva la más acentuada. Dirigida por un caudillo al que el régimen consideraba que tenía dotes casi sobrehumanas (Caudillo por la gracia de Dios, se decía en España para definir al Caudillo), tal tipo de Estado recibía el nombre de caudillista, siendo la forma de dictadura más común en América Latina, y que, según tales autores, incluía también la dictadura en España llamada franquista. ... read full story / add a comment

Hi everyone ~
This is so exciting! We were introduced to Ana and Isa Stenzel a few years ago when lung transplant became an option for me. They even took the time to have a few phone calls with me when I was going through the evaluation process and was so afraid.
They are identical twins with cystic fibrosis who have both received double lung transplants and have gone on to spread awareness all over the world about transplantation and the miracle of life. The documentary they created tells their story pre and post transplant and all the ups and downs that go along with that. They also travel the world sharing their amazing story and supporting others.
If you live with cystic fibrosis, there is a chance that a discussion about lung transplant may come up at some point.
You don't want to miss this beautiful, touching story of twin triumph!
Please watch and spread the word – they are two of my heroes!
Lots of love,

[caption id="attachment_39841" align="aligncenter" width="600"] [1] Ernesto Perez Chang, writer and journalist CubaNet (Internet photo)[/caption] [2]Cubanet, Jorge Olivera Castillo, Havana – The sensation that the Cuban regime is counting on a kind of blank check to carry out its abuses is increasingly apparent. The monthly reports of the Cuban Commission for Human Rights and National Reconciliation (CCDHRN), which expose to the world the repressive actions of the political police against pro-democracy activists, are ignored by the majority of international organizations responsible for monitoring this topic, flashing past their computer screed and being archived as soon as they read the headlines. It is logical, before the avalanche of events that anyone with a minimum of responsibility would classify as cruel, inhumane and degrading, without the intervention of censorship which contributes to its relevance. Month after month the arbitrary and violent arrests are repeated, the acts of repudiation that often include vandalism, and the drama of the political prisoners whose incarceration exposes them to a major dose of arbitrariness. The international interest in the face of these episodes is markedly declining, fortunately always with exceptions, which to some extent helps the issue from disappearing from some agendas. A method within the scientific repression applied by the Ministry of the Interior in its effort to prevent the growth of protest movements, are its veiled threats, blackmail, and covert actions that end with the loss of a job, or the impediment to occupy a certain place, all lined up against the friends and family members of the "counterrevolutuionary." In this jurisdiction of State terrorism we now find the writer Ernesto Perez Chang [3] who decided to inscribe himself on the roll of independent journalists. It is only the beginning of his ordeal. He knows it and assures that he will not go back on his decision. Something truly meritorious in the scenario that demands the complex and inexorable combination of talent and courage. His work leaves no room for doubts. Along with his pedigree as an excellent storyteller, he has exhibited in his still short journey in the unofficial press, his gifts for reporting and background. Without pretensions of turning myself into the bird of ill omen, nor to assume pedagogical poses, I would suggest not underestimating the capacity of the common adversary to do him harm, with its lack of scruples and determination to take the most misconceived reprisals. I say is with knowledge of the cause. In the blink of an eye, I was arrested on 18 March 2003 [4] and one month later I was sentenced to 18 years in prison for writing outside the established lines. It is often alleged that times have changed, but the criminal nature of the Power has not. Prison may be used as a last resort corrective, but the manual of the G-2 political police agents overflows with "persuasive" tactics. Before concluding I reiterate my support for a colleague who had the courage to jump the barriers of fear and censorship. It doesn't matter when he did it, what matters is that we are sharing a necessary and enriching and spiritual experience. Hopefully other government writers will decide to take off their masks and start to publish in the pages available to them to write with objectivity and transparency. That have nothing to do with obeisance to illegitimate and excluding Powers.

[caption id="attachment_39249" align="aligncenter" width="623"] [1] José Daniel Ferrer, Felix Navarro, Hector Maseda, Jorge Olivera and Librado Linares[/caption] [2] 14ymedio, Havana, 19 March 2015 -- Twelve years after the Black Spring [3], 14ymedio chats with some of the former political prisoners currently living on the Island. Two questions have been posed to those activists condemned in March 2003: one about their decision to stay in Cuba, and the other about how they see the country today. José Daniel Ferrer The whole time we were in prison, the Castro brothers' regime did its best to pressure us, to force us to abandon the country. A few of us decided to say no, regardless of the circumstances. Today I am more convinced than ever that my having stayed is worth it. We are doing our modest bit to have a nation where there will never again be something like that spring of 2003, when so many compatriots paid with prison for attempting to exercise their most sacred rights. "Today I am more convinced than ever that my having stayed is worth it" Many things have changed, but they still maintain the repression, and sometimes increase it, against human rights activists and also against the people. Recognizing the changes doesn't mean we go along, because what we don't have is a prosperous and democratic Cuba. In the last days when I walked freely on the street, at the beginning of 2003, some people approached us and whispered in our ears, "I heard you," referring to having heard us on some station like Radio Martí, one of the few media where they could learn about what the pro-democracy forces were doing. Felix Navarro Having stayed in Cuba after leaving prison is probably the best idea I've had in my entire life. On Saturday July 10, the day on which I spent my 57th birthday in prison, I received a call from Cardinal Ortega. He informed me that he was forming the third group of ex-prisoners and that I could leave together with my family. I thanked him for the gesture and the fact that the Church had always fought alongside the unprotected and against the injustices, but I would not abandon the country even if I had to serve the entire 25 years of my sentence. On 22 March he called me again and the next day they released me from prison. Along with José Daniel Ferrer, I was the last to get home. Right now I'm on conditional release, on parole, but I am convinced that sooner or later they are going to allow me to travel normally like any other Cuban. In my case, I have no intention of traveling abroad as long as the president of Cuba is not a democratically elected member of civil society. "I would not abandon the country even if I had to serve the entire 25 years of my sentence" In my opinion, the country has changed, but for the worse. It is true that since the beginning of December of last year the political police have stopped repressing in the way they had been the expressions of peaceful struggle of the Ladies in White in Cardenas and Colon. Before that, every Sunday they prevented their walking down the street, they were beaten and insulted, put into vehicles and abandoned to their fate at whatever place. This doesn't happen any more and we believe it is very helpful, but the repression continues in other ways, with police citations and surveillance. Héctor Maseda I was contacted three times by the Cardinal to leave for Spain and I said no. When they told me I could get out of prison on parole I refused, making my point that Raul Castro had announced months ago that we would all be released. I left prison against my will. In September 2014 I made a complaint to the People's Power Provincial Court in the section for crimes against the security of the State and the Council of State for them to release me unconditionally. They responded that the court had determined that I would have to remain under control. I have no interest in leaving the country, this is my decision and I don't have to explain it to anyone. "I left prison against my will" Some changes have occurred in our country, but I continue to insist that they are not fundamental. The government of Raul Castro maintains very rigid positions. The fact that relations with the United States are being reestablished is perhaps the most notable change, but behind this are the economic interests of the Cuban and American governments. In the case of Raul Castro, what he wants is to extend his dynasty in power, but I can't see what the benefits are for the Cuban people. Jorge Olivera Just under five years ago I decided not to accept the offer to go into exile in Spain. I received a lot of criticism, but my closest friends, my wife and my family supported me in my decision. At one time I desired to leave Cuba, but one has a right to change and today I have no regrets. In the most difficult moment of the dilemma I chose to stay for many reasons, one of them is the trajectory of the independent press, where I worked with Habana Press since 1995, and also my convictions. After thinking about all aspects, I considered it better to stay here trying to open spaces for independent journalism, to bring our experience to the young people. I am here, happy, although it seems a contradiction in terms, because I am doing what I love and contributing with my modest efforts to a better country. "The country has changed and will change again, perhaps not with the speed we want" Life is dialectical and everything changes. Sometimes we do not notice because we are in the forest, but the world has changed and Cuba as well. The Cuba of 12 years ago was very different. Now, for example, events that no one expected have occurred, like the reestablishment of diplomatic relations between Cuba and the United States. They have opened spaces that were unthinkable back then, there are people who don't see it that way, people who think it is very little, others say nothing has changed. The country has changed and will change, perhaps not with the speed those of us on the pro-democratic route would like, but there have been changes. Our work is made visible with the existence of new technologies, Internet and cellphones; discreet but important spaces have opened up that have contributed in a greater or lesser way to improving our work, both in the political opposition and in the alternative civil society. Librado Linares When I had been in prison for about a year and a half in Combinado del Este in Havana, some officials from State Security interviewed me to find out my willingness to leave Cuba as a way to be released from prison. I told them flat out no, and their leader assured me I would serve the 20 years without any benefit. I decided to stay because of the commitment I have to the development of a dynamic of change that will do away with the Castros' totalitarianism and produce a transition to democracy. On the other hand, I greatly identify with and have a great sense of belonging to Cuban culture, with its values, the people in the neighborhood, the climate, with las parrandas de Camajuaní [4]. I can't find this in any other country. "We are more pluralistic, less monolithic" Some experts in the areas of transition have said that there are four types of non-democratic regimes: totalitarian, post-totalitarian, sultanistic and totalitarian, but in the '90s a process of "de-totalitarian-ization" began and this has happened because of the pressure from the internal opposition and internationally and because of other reasons, including biological. The regime has been evolving toward post-totalitarianism and perhaps intends to move towards an authoritarian military regime. They want to stay in power and that has led to allowing certain improvements in freedom of movement, they have facilitated aspects of the issue of ownership and non-state management of the economy, such as land leases and non-farm cooperatives. Despite the enormous repression, the opposition has been gaining spaces. We are more plural, less monolithic. People are forgetting their fear, breaking their chains and learning to speak up in public and to demand their rights.

I'm putting together photo packages for team portraits for my gym.
I've done it in the past for another gym and used to offer wallets, 4x6's, 5x7's and 8x10's... but the more I think about the less relevant I feel like wallet prints are. I know I personally haven't carried any wallet size prints in years, I keep personal photos on my phone instead of in my wallet and I have a feeling that's what most people do.

Toasted Pecan Shortbread
How to Make It
Heat oven to 350° F. Butter an 8-inch round cake pan and line with a circle of parchment.
Spread the pecans on a rimmed baking sheet and toast, tossing occasionally, until fragrant, 6 to 8 minutes. Let cool, then chop.
Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, and salt; set aside.
Using an electric mixer, beat the butter, sugar, and vanilla on medium-high until light and fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes.
Reduce mixer speed to low and gradually add the flour mixture, mixing until just combined (do not overmix). Gently fold in the pecans.
With floured fingers, press the dough into the prepared pan and prick all over with a fork.
Bake until golden and firm, 30 to 40 minutes. When cool enough to handle, turn the shortbread out of the pan and, using a serrated knife, cut into 12 wedges. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Yesterday at DEMOfall 07, dimdim launched what it's calling "the world's first free Web meeting service based on an open source platform." The browser-based hosted service reportedly can accommodate meetings of any size.
According to the press release, features include audio conferencing, broadcast webcam, slides, desktop sharing, and chat -- with no client-side software requirement. DEMO Conference executive producer Chris Shipley indicates the technology has the potential for social change:

SOURCE: American Hotel Income Properties REIT LP
September 30, 2016 06:00 ET
VANCOUVER, BC--(Marketwired - September 30, 2016) - American Hotel Income Properties REIT LP ("AHIP") (TSX: HOT.UN) (OTCQX: AHOTF) announced today that it has agreed to acquire through its subsidiaries, a portfolio of four Marriott-branded, select-service hotels (the "Acquisition Properties") located in Jacksonville and Lake City, Florida, and Chattanooga, Tennessee for an aggregate purchase price of US$47.0 million, excluding closing and post-acquisition adjustments. The purchase price does not include US$2.8 million for the completion of brand-mandated property improvement plans ("PIPs").
The Acquisition Properties are being purchased at a weighted-average capitalization rate of approximately 9.0% on trailing twelve months net operating income (after inclusion of all hotel management fees, franchise fees, a 4.0% FF&E reserve contribution, and PIPs).
Ian McAuley, AHIP's President, commented, "When I toured this younger Marriott-branded portfolio, I was impressed with the high quality hotel and real estate product, as well as the diversity and strength of the Florida and Tennessee markets' demand generators and limited new supply." Rob O'Neill, AHIP's Chief Executive Officer, commented, "This acquisition is consistent with AHIP's strategy of owning high quality, branded, select-service hotels in strong secondary markets. This portfolio will integrate nicely with our existing portfolio of Florida and Georgia hotels and increases our percentage of Marriott-branded hotel rooms to over 40% of our Branded portfolio." Mr. O'Neill continued, "The availability of long-term, low-cost, fixed-rate debt highlights a key aspect of our conservative approach to leverage, aimed at providing highly stable returns and delivering value to unitholders."
Upon completion of this acquisition and the previously-announced acquisition of two Embassy Suites by Hilton hotels in Dallas, Texas and Tempe, Arizona, AHIP's portfolio will consist of 86 hotels totaling 8,022 guest rooms with 41 branded hotels totaling 4,233 guest rooms and 45 rail hotels totaling 3,789 guest rooms.
The Acquisition Properties will be managed for AHIP by its exclusive hotel manager, Tower Rock Hotels & Resorts Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of O'Neill Hotels & Resorts Ltd.

On the heels of its $4.9 billion acquisition of Hewitt Associates, Chicago-based Aon Corp. announced a three-year restructuring plan that it expects will save the company $280 million annually.
Intended to streamline operations across the risk management services and reinsurance brokerage, the restructuring came to light in a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
"The restructuring plan is expected to result in cumulative costs of approximately $325 million through the end of the plan, primarily encompassing workforce reduction and real estate rationalization costs," the filing states. "The total estimated cost of $325 million consists of approximately $180 million in employee termination costs (all of which is expected to be incurred in cash) and approximately $145 million in real estate rationalization costs (of which approximately $95 million is expected to be incurred in cash). An estimated 1,500 to 1,800 positions globally, predominantly non-client facing, are expected to be eliminated as part of the plan.
In addition to the $280 million of annual savings related to the restructuring plan, the company expects additional savings in areas such as information technology, procurement and public company costs for total savings of $355 million annually by 2013.

WATCH: Elite LSU recruit shows off impressive athleticism
LSU wide receiver Drake Davis has ups, and plenty of style.
Davis, who signed with LSU in the Class of 2016, hit the gym at IMG Academy and threw down a reverse, two-handed windmill dunk just to show off his athleticism. Kellen Mond, a 2017 quarterback and Baylor commit, tweeted a video of the dunk.
His tweet simply says: "When you the best athlete in the country."
When you the best athlete in the country … ???@ZabuzaaMomochi pic.twitter.com/siGsStnw41

Davis, who's listed at 6-foot-4, 215 pounds, has expressed interest in playing both football and basketball at LSU, but it isn't clear whether or not he'll get that chance.

A little earlier today I got access to Facebook Graph Search. This quick post is just a collection of "raw thoughts" and first impressions. My immediate reaction was positive overall, however.
Graph search isn't a replacement for Google but it could be a primary choice in some cases for Facebook users looking for recommendations.
The Graph Search bar sits at the top of the screen and is persistent. This has the potential to dramatically change the way people use Facebook. One way people will likely come to use it is to identify friends and contacts who may have stayed at, eaten at or gone places and message those people for more information. (This is not something that one can readily do on Google.)
The following screenshot shows a search result for "restaurants in San Francisco." It's an attractive SERP and quite different from a Google SERP. If you click through you obviously get the business' Facebook Page. It will thus become imperative for businesses that don't have Facebook Pages to create them and those that do to enrich and further develop those Pages.
Search refinements are in a module on the right. I can refine by place type, food category and other criteria (in this restaurant scenario). I can also filter based on whether people in my network (including specific individuals) have liked and/or visited the place in question.
If I search on something that isn't within the scope of Graph Search (e.g., plumbers) I'll get Bing results. This is significant because people are going to start searching on anything and everything to see what happens and what comes up. It avoids the "no results" problem that might have undermined getting users to "come back" to Graph Search.
Facebook users are almost certainly not going to stay within the boundaries and categories defined by Facebook. People are going to think of this broadly as search with "friend recommendations" or "like Google but I can see if my friends liked it."
The Bing-powered "web results" screen above is actually a pretty good experience. Some folks have predicted that Microsoft will be the big winner from Graph Search. We'll see but there will probably be millions more queries coming Microsoft's way as a result.
My quick summary of my initial reactions is the following:
- Facebook Graph Search is off to a fairly strong start in selected categories
- People will use it but in tandem with other things: Google, Yelp, vertical search, etc.
- Graph Search will be expanded and improved, but version 1.0 is good enough to "come back for"
- The local emphasis of Graph Search 1.0, combined with Nearby, could make Facebook a major player in local in the near term
- Microsoft and Bing will gain from this although it won't help the Bing brand or direct Bing usage very much
If anyone else has tried Graph Search let me know what you think. I'll have more to say after I've used it more extensively but I wanted to get these "first thoughts" out.

BAGHDAD – Amnesty International says Iraq's Shiite militias have abducted and killed "scores" of Sunni civilians in retaliation for the onslaught of the Sunni militant Islamic State group.
The rights watchdog says these attacks are supported by Iraq's government, and that the Shiites are not prosecuted for their crimes.
Amnesty's senior adviser Donatella Rovera is accusing the Shiite-led government in Baghdad of "sanctioning war crimes and fueling a dangerous cycle of sectarian violence that is tearing the country apart."
Amnesty says the fate of many of the Sunni abductees remains unknown and that some captives have been killed even after their families paid ransoms of $80,000 and more.
The accusations, based on interviews with families and survivors, came in a new Amnesty report released Tuesday, entitled "Absolute Impunity: Militia Rule in Iraq."

This was the Boston school of jazz in more ways than one. The Stable was a Jazz Workshop where most of the important developments in New Englands mid-50s jazz scene were made. The men who played regularly there invited Bostons serious young jazzmen to sit in; there were no cutting sessions; newcomers were not given a rough time in a sink or swim situation. These men were performing a service to jazz and made Boston an important center for developing jazz talent. Its epitomised by the key band of Herb Pomeroy and His Stablemates.
A well-integrated ensemble packed with quality musicians, the quintet served up a fine brand of bop-derived contemporary swing, hard blowing, fast thinking, to a full house in the small room, and always with the essential emotional elements that all good jazz must comunícate.
