Record Number of Companies Flock to Leading Enterprise Social Platform to Fuel Collaboration Across the Entire Business Process
New Work Patterns Combine Expertise, Content and Best Practices With Real-Time Business Data and Applications to Drive Action
Walldorf, Germany — On its own, social collaboration in the workplace is a nice idea, but unless it is connected to a business process, it is little more than that. A year ago, SAP AG (NYSE: SAP) transformed social collaboration with the launch of the SAP Jam social software platform and social business processes, and the world's leading businesses have caught on. With more than 10 million subscribers, SAP Jam is the leading enterprise collaboration solution and the only social platform that enables companies to collaboratei across the entire business process, where and when people need it — in their applications, on mobile devices or directly in SAP Jam.
Today, SAP is again pushing the envelope on innovation with work patterns, pre-built collaborative processes that give companies the 360-degree view into critical workplace activities needed to make more informed decisions rapidly and to act on them to deliver results. Work patterns can be applied to key operational processes that touch customers, employees and partners. The first work patterns support collaborative sales and service processes with the SAP® Customer Relationship Management (SAP CRM) application.
Connecting the Dots
The first functionality of its kind on the market, work patterns combine expertise, content, problem solving and templates with applications and real-time data from business systems. Because of the intelligent integration, constantly changing data is always current and relevant, allowing SAP Jam to recognize and interpret the data as well as expose related documents, people and projects. Employees can choose from a list of work patterns provided in SAP Jam that connect the dots to help them achieve the following:
- Obtain a complete picture of the situation or project at hand
- Have access to experts who can help execute effectively
- Create a fast and repeatable approach for work and quickly drive it to completion
- Flexibly change processes to meet the needs of the work
"Whether it's to manage account planning or devise a sales strategy, onboard a new team or be mentored, the way we work today involves leveraging data, content, process and people," said Sameer Patel, senior vice president and general manager, Enterprise Social Software, SAP. "Work patterns in SAP Jam are designed to bring these elements together to significantly accelerate performance."
Innovative companies like Marriott International, Kaeser Kompressoren and TELUS Communications, Inc. are using SAP Jam to help drive business results.
For its global associates and industry partners, Marriott is combining SAP Jam with applications from SuccessFactors, an SAP company, to support learning and knowledge sharing within the enterprise. The company is also using SAP Jam to put forth best practices, gather and rank ideas and turn the decision-making process around immediately.
Kaeser Kompressoren is following suit: "As our sales cycle continues to shrink, SAP Jam is playing an important role in helping us quickly build a bridge from the first client contact through to the offer," said Falko Lameter, chief information officer, Kaeser Kompressoren. "Because SAP Jam is a cloud solution, we can easily integrate our partners and SAP processes — such as SAP CRM — allowing us to share information and gather insight from across the business."
While work patterns is a market-first strategy, SAP Jam customers have been involved as co-innovators for this and other ongoing innovations.
"At TELUS, our goal is to push the needle with consistent innovation, and participating in the customer council for SAP Jam has helped us achieve this," said Dan Pontefract, head of Learning and Collaboration, TELUS Communications. "Through our strong relationship with SAP, we've been able to see our feedback reflected in the product road map, and are excited about the strategic direction of SAP Jam and the inclusion of work patterns."
The first pre-built patterns were made available on November 14 and bring together SAP Jam with data and objects from SAP CRM to support account planning, opportunity management, deal rooms and service requests for sales and service professionals.

YouTube may well be one of the best business decisions Google has ever made. The video sharing site actually was created by a trio of PayPal workers in 2005. In late 2006, Google picked it up for a mere $1.65 billion. That's maybe not quite as much money by today's standards, but at the time it was a huge deal. But it paid off.
Consider: According to Google, more than 1 billion unique visitors use YouTube every month. Some 100 hours of video are uploaded to Youtube every minute of the day. It pumps out hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue for its partners. And YouTube means anyone can become a publisher. Anyone can share their world in video, almost instantaneously. You can upload directly from a phone, if you'd like. And with the advent of Google+ and Google Hangouts, you can now use the power of YouTube to communicate your message live, in real-time. It's a free, portable broadcasting studio. It's used by dignitaries. Mothers. Fathers. Families. Students. And more than 6 billion hours of video are watched on YouTube each month.
Not bad for a decade's worth of work, eh?
And, yes. YouTube is home to many a cat video. Because what's the Internet without cats?

text: Windows 8 has proven to be a strange beast for traditional PC manufacturers. While laptops, as a form factor, have been thrown into disarray, all-in-ones seem to have finally come into their own. That showed at this year's CES. While Ultrabooks have been taking on increasingly disparate shapes, AiOs seem to be climbing a ladder of iterative innovation. These are some of the best ones we saw at the International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2013.

The Maloof family is finalizing an agreement to sell the Sacramento Kings to a group that hopes to move the franchise to Seattle for the 2013-14 season, league sources told Yahoo! Sports.
The deal will sell the Kings for approximately $500 million to a group led by hedge-fund manager Chris Hansen and Microsoft chairman Steve Ballmer. The group is seeking to relocate the franchise to Seattle's KeyArena for the 2013-14 season.
The Seattle group's plans, with support of the NBA, is to play two seasons in KeyArena before moving into a new Seattle arena, sources said.
Great news for Seattle and former Sonics fans if the deal ends up going through. A shame it has to be at the expense of the Kings and their lineage that dates back to the 1940s, though.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Federal Trade Commission on Tuesday said it would seek to block a proposed $330 million purchase of PLX Technology Inc <PLXT.O> by Integrated Device Technology Inc <IDTI.O>, saying the combined firm would have a near-monopoly on certain computer components.
Both companies make integrated circuits called PCIe switches, which perform critical connectivity functions in computers and other widely used electronic devices.
"The combination of IDT and PLX would hurt competition and lead to higher switch prices, lower innovation in the marketplace, and reduced customer service," said Richard Feinstein, director of the FTC's Bureau of Competition.
The combined firm would have a share exceeding 85 percent in the global PCIe switch market, the commission said.
Headquartered in San Jose, California, IDT makes a range of semiconductor components used in communications, computing, and consumer applications. It proposed buying PLX, headquartered in Sunnyvale, California, in April.
FTC said customers have traditionally used the competition between IDT and PLX to play one company against the other and achieve lower prices.
IDT closed at $6.92 per share, up 10 cents, on Nasdaq, and PLX Technology closed at $4.50, down 7 cents.

About This Artwork
Georges Seurat
French, 1859-1891
A Sunday on La Grande Jatte — 1884, 1884/86
Oil on canvas
81 3/4 x 121 1/4 in. (207.5 x 308.1 cm)
Inscribed at lower right: Seurat
Helen Birch Bartlett Memorial Collection, 1926.224
In his best-known and largest painting, Georges Seurat depicted people relaxing in a suburban park on an island in the Seine River called La Grande Jatte. The artist worked on the painting in several campaigns, beginning in 1884 with a layer of small horizontal brushstrokes of complementary colors. He later added small dots, also in complementary colors, that appear as solid and luminous forms when seen from a distance.
Seurat's use of this highly systematic and "scientific" technique, subsequently called Pointillism, distinguished his art from the more intuitive approach to painting used by the Impressionists. Although Seurat embraced the subject matter of modern life preferred by artists such as Claude Monet and Pierre-Auguste Renoir, he went beyond their concern for capturing the accidental and instantaneous qualities of light in nature. Seurat sought to evoke permanence by recalling the art of the past, especially Egyptian and Greek sculpture and even Italian Renaissance frescoes. As he explained to the French poet Gustave Kahn, "The Panathenaeans of Phidias formed a procession. I want to make modern people, in their essential traits, move about as they do on those friezes, and place them on canvases organized by harmonies of color." Some contemporary critics, however, found his figures to be less a nod to earlier art history than a commentary on the posturing and artificiality of modern Parisian society.
Seurat made the final changes to La Grande Jatte in 1889. He restretched the canvas in order to add a painted border of red, orange, and blue dots that provides a visual transition between the interior of the painting and his specially designed white frame.

NEW YORK (AP) — The mother of a man ambushed and killed in Manhattan says New York City detectives found no drugs, weapons or evidence of any kind in her son's Los Angeles condo.
Sandra Wellington told The New York Times (http://nyti.ms/Td0HBU ) the detective returned the key to Brandon Lincoln Woodard's apartment and told her they "found nothing."
She said the detectives told her they were working day and night on the case. One detective told her "they were very close."
But on Thursday, Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly insisted police hadn't identified any suspects in the execution-style slaying about a block from Central Park or determined why he was targeted.
Police are still examining three phones carried by Woodard when he flew to New York on Sunday for reasons that are unclear.

Has anyone had any experience with or know of Hypertrophic Osteodystrophy in APBT/AST's? I don't need info on the disease as I am a vet tech and familiar with the basics of it, but am asking regarding specifically to this breed. Someone I know has a pup at the vet with classic symptoms of HOD (severe pain, lameness, fever, anorexia) and they began less than 24 hours after his 2nd DA2P-PV vaccination. He has been hospitalized since thursday with no improvement and being treated with IV fluids, antibiotics (I don't know what) and from what the owner tells me I think they are using cortisone which is a bad thing in most HOD cases..... but the veterinarian hasn't diagnoised this pup with a thing yet, just administering supportive care. Owner doesn't believe xrays have been taken but he was told there is nothing significant on the blood work.
I know it has a tendency to run in certain larger fast growing breeds but am not familiar with it's occurance in this one. Has anyone here had to experience this disease in their dog? The pup is about 3 1/2 months and is from oversized parents though I know nothing else about his pedigree (BYB I'm fairly certain), though he didn't seem particularly large to me at about 25lbs.
Having worked in this field for many years I know that some vets need to be pushed to check for specific things and in some cases they don't know what's wrong and should refer the dog elsewhere but don't. I've told him to push for the xrays to at least R/O HOD and referred him to call my veterinarian who's vastly more experienced with orthopedic problems. Personally I think this vet is missing the obvious and I told him to specifically request xrays to look for HOD or pano, though I've never seen pano cause such severe symptoms before. Best I've been able to advise him is that most dogs do recover from HOD but I don't know of it's frequency in this particular breed.
Thanks in advance.

Suffolk, ss. DIVISION OF ADMINISTRATIVE LAW APPEALS
Appeal of:
Charles Piso,
v. CR-08-130
Framingham Retirement System,
Appearance for Petitioner:
Paul T. Hynes, Esq.,
Angoff, Goldman
45 Bromfield Street
Boston, MA 02108
Appearance for Respondent:
Thomas Gibson, Esq.
2400 Massachusetts Avenue
Cambridge, MA 02140
Administrative Magistrate:
Joan Freiman Fink, Esq.
Pursuant to G.L. c. 32 §16(4), the Petitioner, Charles Piso, is appealing the February 20, 2008 decision of the Respondent, Framingham Retirement System, denying his request for accidental disability retirement benefits without convening a medical panel (Exhibit 1). The appeal was timely filed in accordance with the provisions of G.L. c. 32 §16(4).
A hearing pursuant to G.L. c. 7 §4H was held on May 7, 2008 at the offices of the Division of Administrative Law Appeals, 98 North Washington Street, Boston, MA Various documents were entered into evidence at the hearing (Exhibits 1 -10). The Respondent's Pre-hearing Memorandum was marked as "A" for identification. The Petitioner, Charles Piso, testified in his own behalf. One cassette tape recording was made of the hearing.
Based on the testimony and evidence presented, I make the following findings of fact:
1. The Petitioner, Charles Piso, d.o.b. 7/30/64, commenced employment as a police officer with the Town of Framingham Police Department in 1995 (testimony of the Petitioner).
2. Prior to commencing employment with the Framingham Police Department, the Petitioner successfully passed a pre-employment physical (testimony of the Petitioner).
3. The Petitioner's duties as a police officer included serving as the crisis negotiator for the Critical Incident Control Team, a specialized SWAT unit deployed in specific dangerous situations (testimony of the Petitioner).
4. On March 12, 2002, the Petitioner was working an overtime day shift when he was dispatched to respond to a call involving a domestic disturbance (testimony of the Petitioner).
5. When he arrived at the scene, the Petitioner was confronted by a suspect who was naked and holding a knife. Although the suspect agreed to be taken to the hospital for a psychiatric evaluation, when approached by another police officer who had arrived at the scene, the subject stabbed that officer (testimony of the Petitioner).
6. The Petitioner drew his weapon and attempted to tackle the subject. He also tried to pepper spray the subject; however, the pepper spray inadvertently hit the wall. The subject then hit the Petitioner on the head causing him to sustain a head injury. The subject also bit the Petitioner on the arm through his police jacket (testimony of the Petitioner).
7. The Petitioner was taken by ambulance to the Metro West Medical Center where he was treated for a head injury, wrist injury, and injury to his jaw and face. The Petitioner had staples put in his head where the suspect had struck him (testimony of the Petitioner, Exhibit 10).
8. After this incident, the Petitioner remained out of work for approximately one month. In mid-April of 2002, he attempted to return to light duty. On the fourth day of light duty, while moving some boxes, the Petitioner experienced intense shoulder and wrist pain. He left work after that day and did not return until the middle of June of 2002 (testimony of the Petitioner).
9. Although the Petitioner underwent a course of physical therapy, he still experienced right shoulder pain. He was referred to Dr. Fabian, an orthopedic surgeon, for treatment (testimony of the Petitioner).
10. He underwent an MRI of the right shoulder on May 15, 2002 that revealed a "partial tear, degeneration or tendinitis in the distal supra-spinatus tendon; degenerative changes in the greater tuberosity" (Exhibit 8A).
11. In June of 2002, the Petitioner returned to work on a full-time basis. He performed all his duties including his work with the Crisis Incident Control Team (testimony of the Petitioner).
12. Although the Petitioner experienced periodic symptoms of right shoulder pain, he continued working until August of 2005 (testimony of the Petitioner).
13. On August 25, 2005, the Petitioner, while off duty, injured his shoulder and arm lifting his four year old daughter (testimony of the Petitioner).
14. The Petitioner reported the injury to his employer and was instructed to go to Framingham Orthopedics. He was treated at Framingham Orthopedics by Dr. Herman, who gave him a cortisone injection and put him on restricted duty for ten days (testimony of the Petitioner).
15. The Petitioner worked as a dispatcher for ten days but as his pain did not abate, Dr. Herman gave him another cortisone injection (testimony of the Petitioner).
16. The Petitioner then received authorization from the Framingham Police Department to be examined by Dr. Sean Rockett, an orthopedic surgeon. Dr. Rockett arranged for an additional MRI of the right shoulder that was performed on September 28, 2005. This MRI revealed a "full thickness tear which is worse now than previously noted on the comparative study from 5/5/02; mild inflammatory changes in the acromicoclavicular joint without impingement" (Exhibit 8B).
17. On November 9, 2005, Dr. Rockett performed right shoulder arthroscopy, subacromial decompression, and repair of massive cuff tear (Exhibit 10).
18. After surgery, the Petitioner underwent physical therapy (testimony of the Petitioner).
19. The Petitioner did not return to work after the surgery in November of 2005 (testimony of the Petitioner).
20. On September 24, 2006, the Petitioner filed an application for accidental disability retirement claiming that he is permanently unable to perform the essential duties of his position since November 9, 2005, as the result of an injury at work on March 12, 2002 (Exhibit 3).
21. Dr. Sean Rockett filed a Physician's Statement in Support of the Application in which he responded to all three certificate questions in the affirmative. Dr. Rockett stated that the Petitioner's permanent disability was due to persistent symptoms and weakness in his right shoulder following surgery performed in November of 2005 (Exhibit 4).
22. Dr. Rockett noted in his Physician's Statement that the Petitioner was treated in March of 2002 for a rotator cuff injury and that his "symptoms subsided with the treatment provided at that time and he was able to return to work full duty. He did have some persistent symptoms in the shoulder but not enough to prevent him from performing the duties required of him as a police officer" (Exhibit 4).
23. On the issue of causation, Dr. Rockett offered that while his injury at home in 2002 may have exacerbated his symptoms, his current right shoulder disability is the proximal result of the injury he sustained at work in 2002 (Exhibit 4).
24. On June 11, 2007, the Framingham Retirement System sought clarification from Dr. Rockett concerning the Petitioner's injury at work on March 12, 2002 and the subsequent injury resulting from lifting his child on August 5, 2005 (Exhibit 6).
25. On October 8, 2007, Dr. Rockett responded to this request for clarification indicating that "the right shoulder rotator cuff mechanism was compromised due to the initial injury which occurred on March 12, 2002 … The massive tear…could not have been caused in total by the child lifting incident." The Petitioner's "injury and need for surgical intervention were due to an acute tear superimposed upon a chronic tear" (Exhibit 7)
26. Regarding the initial injury, Dr. Rockett stated that the Petitioner "was able to function at a high level with the tear after the initial injury … however, the second incident where he lifted his child caused the shoulder suspension complex to erode due to the most recent injury of August 2005" (Exhibit 7).
27. On February 20, 2008, the Framingham Retirement System sent the Petitioner notification that it had denied his application without convening a medical panel (Exhibit 1).
28. On February 22, 2008, the Petitioner filed a timely appeal of this decision with the Contributory Retirement Appeal Board (Exhibit 2).
In order to receive accidental disability benefits pursuant to G.L. c. 32 §7, an applicant must establish by substantial evidence, including an affirmative medical panel certificate that he/she is totally and permanently incapacitated from performing all of his/her duties as a result of a personal injury sustained or hazard undergone while in the performance of his/her duties .
After reviewing the testimony and evidence presented in this case, I conclude that the Petitioner has not met the threshold requirements for entitlement to an accidental disability retirement benefits in accordance with G.L. c. 32 §7(1) in that he did not become incapacitated by reason of a personal injury sustained or hazard undergone as a result of, and while in the performance of, his duties.
There is no dispute that the Petitioner suffered a work-related injury to his right shoulder in March of 2002 as a result of his involvement in a violent interaction with a suspect in a domestic relations dispute. However, the record reflects that the Petitioner recovered sufficiently from that injury to return to his full duties in April of 2002. He remained in that position performing all the functions of a police officer including participation in the Crisis Incident Control Team for a period of over three years until August of 2005 when he sustained a further injury to his right shoulder while lifting his child at home, a non-work related injury.
Dr. Sean Rockett, the orthopedic surgeon who submitted a Statement in Support of the Petitioner's application for accidental disability retirement benefits, acknowledged that Mr. Piso was able to perform the essential duties of his position from April of 2002 until his injury at home in August of 2005. Dr. Rockett further acknowledged that the MRI of the right shoulder performed in 2002 revealed that Mr. Piso "may have sustained a partial tear of the rotator cuff," while the MRI of the Petitioner's right shoulder performed in 2005 after the lifting incident involving his child, revealed that the partial tear had "progressed to a full thick tear due to the August 25, 2005 incident."
It is well established that non-work related aggravations of a work related disability are not compensable under the provisions of Chapter 32. Lisbon v. CRAB, 670 N.E. 2d 392 (1996); Wakefield v. CRAB, 226 N.E. 2d 245 (1967). In Marie Leonard v. State Board of Retirement, CR-90-1158 (DALA. dec. 11/15/93; CRAB dec. 3/21/94), CRAB upheld the denial of an application for accidental disability retirement benefits without convening a medical panel where the Petitioner's act of sneezing in the shower at home caused her to become disabled by aggravating a prior work-related personal injury.
In accordance with 840 CMR 10.09(2), "[a]t any stage of a proceeding on an ordinary or accidental disability application the retirement board may terminate the proceeding any deny the application if it determines that the member cannot be retired as a matter of law." Since Mr. Piso has not made out a threshold showing of entitlement to accidental disability retirement benefits, the decision of the Framingham Retirement System to deny his application without convening a medical panel is affirmed.

VENICE (Reuters) - Taipei-based director Tsai Ming-liang said on Thursday at the Venice Film Festival, where his "Stray Dogs" is in competition, that the portrayal of a family subsisting on the streets of the Taiwanese capital could well be his last movie.
In the production notes, the director says he has become tired of cinema and that the mechanisms of the market, the "so-called entertainment value of films in recent years and the constant pandering to popular taste", disgust him.
"I hope this is my last film. This statement is for real, that is my hope," Tsai, 55, said at a news conference before the official premiere of the film.
He also says in the notes that during the making of the film, which is called "Jiaoyou" in Chinese, he was struck by an unspecified illness that made him feel "sick enough that I felt I might die at any moment".
Tsai said that while "Stray Dogs" could well be his final film, he could not predict what would happen.
"I also believe in fate and destiny so I don't know what awaits me," he said in Venice.
"Stray Dogs" shows a father and his two children struggling to survive on what he makes from menial jobs and by getting his son and daughter to visit supermarkets to eat food samples.
The slow-paced effort is the director's first since his Cannes competition entry "Face" four years ago. His second feature film, "Vive L'Amour", won the Golden Lion best picture award in Venice in 1994.
Tsai said he probably wouldn't have made "Stray Dogs" had it not been for a theatre performance of Lee Hsiao-kang, his go-to actor for more than two decades.
His leading man, meanwhile, described their collaboration as a form of torture.
"Making films with director Tsai is very tough," Lee said.
"Working with him is kind of torture, you have to endure a lot and in the process I really experience living like the character and feel the heaviness of his life. So, these roles have allowed me to improve my acting," he said.
The concluding shot of "Stray Dogs" shows the father and a woman who has befriended the outcast family standing one behind the other almost motionless and staring at a wall in a derelict building during a rainstorm for 20 minutes.
The film features Lee's nephew and niece, Tsai's godson and goddaughter, Lee Yi-cheng and Lee Yi-chieh, as the children.

Florida's Lauren Embree became the first three-time SEC women's tennis player of the year, the league announced Wednesday.
Florida's Lauren Embree became the first three-time SEC women's tennis player of the year, the league announced Wednesday.
UF's Roland Thornqvist was voted the league's Coach of the Year by his peers for the fourth time in his 11 years with the Gators.
Embree is one of five members of the UF team recognized by the league coaches to their All-SEC Teams.
Embree also was voted the SEC Player of the Year in 2012 and in 2010, when she became the first freshman to collect the award.
"It's really special to me," Embree said. "I've never thought I'd be the first player to win this award so many times because there are and have been so many talented and great players in the SEC.
"I'm not really focused on awards. I just try and come out every day and win for the team and for my teammates. It's an extra cool award to get and it's something I want to thank my coaches and teammates who have helped me."
Last year Embree joined Gator great Jill Craybas as the only two-time recipients, as Craybas was honored in 1995 and 1996.
Embree compiled a perfect 39-0 record during her dual match singles career against SEC opponents in conference matches and helped the Gators win four consecutive league regular-season and tournament championships.
"Lauren deserves every award that you can give her," said Thornqvist, who led Florida to a 22-2 overall record, a share of the regular-season title and the team's fourth straight postseason championship. "The cool thing about Lauren is that she's obviously an outstanding tennis player, but she is a tremendous team player. She not only plays for herself, but she plays primarily for the team. She gives everything she has every day in practice and elevates our whole team to new levels. I'm very pleased but not surprised that she's once again the SEC Player of the Year."
A Gator has been named the SEC Women's Tennis Player of the Year nine times, beginning with Lisa Raymond earning the honor in 1993, the debut of the award. In addition to Embree, Raymond and Craybas, Jessica Lehnhoff received the Player of the Year recognition in 2002, Alexis Gordon in 2004 and Allie Will in 2011.
Junior Sofie Oyen joined Embree on the All-SEC First Team, with juniors Alexandra Cercone and Olivia Janowicz and freshman Brianna Morgan having earned a spot on the All-SEC Second Team.

Diseñadores de todas las partes del mundo están proponiendo diseños creativos a bqsinc en la categoría de diseño otro - custom.
Complete preliminary design both sides of a deck of playing cards for a fitness program I have developed called WarriorFit
WarriorFit (tm)
I need the back of the card designed. This will appear on each playing card.
I need illustration of the exercises on the other side of the cards (I will provide pictures) so that the player can follow along.
Each card in the deck will need to be finished and have a cohesive look.
I have preliminary designs and a prototype done in Illustrator but need a more "professional and polished look"
I am not sure how 99designs works because this is my first attempt to find a designer but I would like to send what I have and have you work off that and improve it.
- Item 1...WarriorFit (tm) is the title of the program
- the tagline is "Shuffle The Deck...Shed The Pounds"
- I have one logo that right now appears in the corner of the cards
- I need an illustration of a fit-looking warrior, doesn't have to be too detailed, on the back of the cards with title, arms on hips maybe
- The box the cards will go in, the packaging, will have to be designed also
- The back cover of the cards will have to be the same design that works in different colors because the deck is divided into 2 different sub-decks.
- Item 1...I don't want cheesy, childish or girly. It should evoke power and be gender-neutral as possible.

Collaborations, festivals, new works and creative risk-taking largely paid off this year for central Ohio theaters.
CATCO and the Columbus Museum of Art amplified the power of Red, the area premiere of the Tony-winning drama about artist Mark Rothko, with the museum's first major exhibit of works by the abstract master.
Holding its own amid increased competition from other area professional troupes, CATCO shifted toward lighter and more tuneful fare - from musicals (Five Guys Named Moe, The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee) and comedies (Fully Committed) to sentimental favorites (A Christmas Carol) .
Forbidden Broadway Greatest Hits: Vol. 1, the central Ohio premiere of the satirical revue based on the long-running off-Broadway hit, proved popular. CATCO will revive it in January.
Shadowbox Live, co-founded and led by Stev Guyer, broke new ground artistically with Madness & Lust, perhaps the year's most impressive new work by local talents. Guyer directed and Katy Psenicka choreographed the bold and sexy new take on Emily Bronte's Wuthering Heights. The intense dance-driven story of a destructive romance, buoyed by singers performing rock songs, will receive a 2014 encore.
Short North Stage, bringing in Broadway talent to perform with central Ohio Equity actors, excelled with Sunday in the Park With George, Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine's exploration of the challenges of making art.
Red Herring Productions tackled Assassins with crisp eloquence. Sondheim and John Weidman's deeply mournful but darkly comic musical was well-timed, opening in November shortly before the 50th anniversary of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.
Ohio State University's extended partnership with the Royal Shakespeare Company brought an Africa-themed update of Julius Caesar. Columbus and New York were the only North American cities hosting the tour, a hit at the World Shakespeare Festival in Britain.
Veteran director Geoffrey Nelson, who co-founded CATCO in the early 1980s, returned to action with A Portable Theatre, a professional touring troupe that aims to enrich Ohio communities by making professional plays accessible.
As part of the Jewish Community Center's celebration of its 100th anniversary, Gallery Players made its annual children's-theater show a memorable world premiere: Elijah's Angel, a drama adapted by central Ohio writer Michael J. Rosen from his book about people of two faiths finding common ground.
Columbus Children's Theatre celebrated its 50th anniversary. The evolving troupe has taught more than 40,000 young people and reached more than 2.5 million children.
Focusing on women writers boosted the appeal of MadLab Theatre's second annual showcase for aspiring young playwrights from area high schools and Theatre Roulette 2013, its 14th annual shorts festival.
The Columbus Improv Festival, meanwhile, booked Midwestern performers and 15 local improv-comedy troupes at Shane's Gourmet Catering and other venues.

I. In Focus This Week
A primary cause for concern
2012 primary questions worry election administrators
While the national parties work to shore up their bases and GOP candidates jockey for position and those on the fringe just try to take it all in, local elections officials are busy preparing for the 2012 election season.
Some of these officials have numerous concerns about when the primary will be held, how much it will cost and whether or not new laws will impact part of the preparation equation.
Who's on first?
In 2008 states across the country jockeyed to be among the first to hold presidential primaries with some of the primaries being held before some people had even taken down their up-too-long Christmas decorations.
Four years later, while the race to be first may not be as frenzied, the battle over when to hold primaries still has some local election officials in a holding pattern for preparations for 2012.
The national parties have told the Sunshine State that it cannot hold its primary until March 6, however, a task force to choose the primary date — scheduled to meet Sept. 30 — seems to be leaning toward a February primary.
Elections supervisor throughout the state, already concerned about how/if new election reforms will impact the primary are in a worried holding pattern while waiting on the task force.
"We supervisors of elections wrote to the governor, president of the Senate, speaker of the house, and the secretary of state back in May to urge them to appoint the committee as soon as possible so we could plan appropriately," said David Stafford, election supervisor of Escambia County and president of the Florida State Association of Election Supervisors
Although there may be some budgetary impacts by the delay, Lori Edwards, supervisor of elections in Polk County said her greatest concern is securing polling locations.
"It's difficult," Edwards said. "Our biggest challenge is not being certain that rooms and buildings we use for polling locations or training rooms will be available. If a polling location is unavailable it can inconvenience voters."
Stafford pointed out that it's not just counties that are in a holding pattern because many municipalities have tied their elections to county elections and they too must wait on a decision.
Up the road a piece in Forsyth County, Ga., Barbara Luth, supervisor of voter registrations and elections said her county is doing the best it can to prepare, but like her counterparts are in a wait-and-see mode until Secretary of State Brian Kemp makes a decision—earlier this year the Georgia Legislature gave the responsibility of scheduling the presidential primary to the secretary of state's office.
"We are actually starting to prepare for the presidential preference primary now, by getting supplies together for that election," Luth said. "We do have to start mailing out ballots 45 days prior to the election, notify our polling locations of the election dates for advance voting and election day voting, and have enough time to get the ballot back from the printer. The sooner we know the better."
Luth may get her wish as a press release from the secretary of state's office said Kemp will announce his decision today. News reports have indicated that date will be March 6.
It costs how much?
One thing is certain about the South Carolina GOP primary — it is scheduled for February 28. What isn't certain is how much it will cost and who will pay for it.
Cash-strapped counties are up-in-arms about having to foot the bill themselves with some even threatening not to hold the primary at all.
According to Chris Whitmire, spokesman for the South Carolina State Election Commission (SEC), the state and counties conducted the 2008 primaries, and the state paid its expenses — including reimbursements (poll managers, polling places, ballots, absentee postage, etc.), and the counties paid for their expenses (overtime, extra county poll managers, office supplies, etc.).
The difference this year is that the state only partially funded the state cost, and the Republican Party has agreed to pay the difference. These state and party funds will pay all state expenses for the primaries, including the reimbursements to counties.
This leaves counties once again footing the bill for their own expenses, which can run into the tens of thousands of dollars. Many have complained that counties should not be paying for purely partisan elections. Although some have threatened to not hold a primary, Whitmire said that based on a recent ruling by the state's attorney general, it's the SEC's view that state law requires the SEC and county election commissioners to conduct the election.
"The SEC is moving forward with carrying out our primary duties under the law and preparing for the 2012 presidential primaries, and I would believe most counties are doing the same." Whitmire said.
Several counties are planning to meet next week to discuss how, if at all, to proceed.
More is not always better
While elections officials in Florida and Georgia are dealing with an unknown election day and most likely short timeline to prepare for the primary, elections officials in Ohio may have more time on their hands than they know what to do with.
As it stands right now, the primary is slated for March 6, however language in House Bill 194, which was approved by the legislature, signed by the governor and set to take effect tomorrow, would push the primary back to May.
House Bill 194 also includes an assortment of other controversial elections reforms and is being challenged by advocates and Democrats due to concerns over potential voter disenfranchisement.
Advocates have until today to submit the required number of signatures to put the law on ballot initiative. If advocates gather enough signatures — which media reports indicate they have — the law will not be implemented tomorrow and instead would be on hold till after the November 2012 election.
"We are working with the boards of elections in all 88 counties to be prepared that the law will be suspended," said Matt McClellen, a spokesman for the secretary of state's office.
McClellen said the secretary's office will work closely with county boards of elections to confirm the signatures as quickly as possible, although there is no set timeline for when a determination will be made. While concerned about the impacts this may have on the presidential primary, many Ohio elections officials are faced with an upcoming November election.

Validated Preclinical Technology to Be Used for Non-Toxic Treatment of Breast Cancer and Melanoma
Validated Preclinical Technology to Be Used for Non-Toxic Treatment of Breast Cancer and Melanoma
SAN DIEGO, CA--(Marketwire - Feb 26, 2013) - Bio-Matrix Scientific Group Inc. (PINKSHEETS: BMSN) announced today that its wholly owned subsidiary Regen BioPharma Inc. has entered into a Letter of Intent ("LOI") to purchase patented intellectual property covering a novel means of treating breast cancer by augmenting the immune system using a "gene silencing" approach.
The technology has been published in peer-reviewed journals by Professor Min, which documents its capacity of reducing tumors in melanoma (Zheng et al. J Immunol. 2006 Oct 15;177(8):5639-46) and breast cancer models (Zheng et al. Int J Cancer. 2013 Feb 15;132(4):967-77).
This gene silencing therapy was developed through over 1.5 million dollars of grant funding at the University of Western Ontario, Canada. This approach offers the possibility of destroying tumors in a non-toxic manner through leveraging the body's own immune system to recognize the cancer as "foreign" and subsequently eradicating it.
"For more than a decade our laboratory's focus has been to identify how to use gene silencing in the context of immunology. We are enthusiastic to have partnered with Bio-Matrix' Regen BioPharm. We believe this novel approach in treating breast cancer will greatly enhance outcomes for patients," said Professor Min. "While Dendreon's Provenge cancer vaccine has provided an industry precedent for immunotherapy as a practical alternative in oncology, we believe that our approach is capable at competing both at the cost, and efficacy level."
Provenge is a vaccine for prostate cancer that costs $93,000 per treatment cycle1 and had sales of $240 million in the last three quarters of 2012, despite only increasing survival by 4.1 months2. Dendreon's Provenge requires extraction of dendritic cells, a "master cell" of the immune system, and manipulation outside of the body. The technology developed by Professor Min involves "training" of the same dendritic cells inside of the body by administration of specific nanoparticles. Proof of concept of these nanoparticles were published by Professor Min in collaboration with University of California San Diego in the prestigious scientific journal Blood (Zheng et al. Blood. 2009 Mar 19;113(12):2646-54).
"We are eager to continue working with Professor Min and his team at taking his technology into cancer patients," said David Koos, Chairman & CEO of Bio-Matrix Scientific Group Inc. "The stellar academic record of Dr. Min and his continual involvement should not only help accelerate our therapeutics development process, but should also position us for numerous grant and philanthropic funding to support the ongoing translational development."
The transactions contemplated by the LOI are subject to the execution of one or more definitive agreements on terms and conditions mutually acceptable to the parties.

Scandal's Columbus Short Arrested for Public Intoxication
Columbus Short has found himself in trouble with the law yet again after getting arrested on Friday (July 4) for public intoxication.
The 31-year-old former Scandal actor was partying on the Fourth of July at the Katy Trail Ice House in Dallas. He had been running up a tab for four hours when security thought he was about to leave without paying and confronted him, according to TMZ.
Columbus accused the guard of racism and a scuffle ensued. Some off duty cops were present and broke up the fight, but Columbus started screaming at the cops and tried to attack them. He was then arrested for public intoxication and taken to jail.
This is the second bar fight that Columbus has been involved in this year. He was arrested for battery during a fight back in March and he was arrested twice for domestic violence this year as well.
Columbus will not be returning to Scandal when it premieres again this fall.

BANGKOK (AP) — Asian stock markets posted slight gains Monday after strong U.S. earnings pushed Wall Street indexes to multi-year highs, though Japan's Nikkei dipped amid profit-taking.
The U.S. is due to report durable goods and pending home sales for December later in the day, but the numbers would have to sharply disappoint to dampen enthusiasm for stocks, analysts said.
"The heavy slate of US data releases this week will keep markets busy but overall we see little to dent the positive tone to risk assets over coming sessions," Mitul Kotecha of Credit Agricole CIB in Hong Kong wrote in a market commentary.
The Nikkei in Tokyo opened higher but then slipped 0.1 percent to 19,917.40 as investors cashed in shares following strong gains. Hong Kong's Hang Seng rose 0.5 percent to 23,702.93. Benchmarks in mainland China, Singapore, Taiwan and the Philippines also rose.
South Korea's Kospi fell 0.6 percent to 1,934.54, dragged down at Samsung Electronics, the world's No. 1 smartphone maker, which plunged 3.2 percent after Friday saying the strong won would hurt earnings this year. Steelmaker POSCO lost 3.5 percent. Australian markets were closed for a public holiday.
On Friday, the Standard and Poor's 500 index closed above 1,500 for the first time in more than five years after good earnings reports from Starbucks and Procter & Gamble, the world's largest consumer products maker.
The S&P 500 index rose 0.5 percent to 1,502.96. The index had not closed above 1,500 since December 2007, the start of the worst economic downturn since the 1930s.
The Dow Jones industrial average rose 0.5 percent to close at 13,895.98. The Nasdaq composite rose 0.6 percent to 3,149.71.The Dow is now just 268 points below its record high of 14,165, reached on Oct. 9, 2007, two months before the Great Recession began.
Benchmark oil for March delivery was up 11 cents to $95.99 per barrel in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange. The contract fell 7 cents to close at $95.88 in trading on the Nymex. It ended the week with a gain of 32 cents.
In currencies, the euro slipped to $1.3455 from $1.3467 late Friday in New York. The dollar rose to 91.11 from 90.98 yen.
The euro rose to an 11-month high against the dollar Friday after the European Central Bank said banks in the region were expected to pay back emergency loans faster than previously expected, increasing confidence that Europe's debt crisis is easing.

Moultonborough school budget includes job cutsBy LARISSA MULKERN
Special to the Union Leader
February 13. 2013 7:43PM
MOULTONBOROUGH - The Moultonborough School Board hosted a sparsely attended public hearing Tuesday on the proposed school district warrant and the $13.9 million budget for fiscal year 2013-14.
The school board and the Advisory Budget Committee recommended approval of six warrant articles, including the district budget of $13,996,856.
This budget, which was the last of four budget proposals prepared by School Administrative Unit 45 Business Manager Kay Peranelli, reflects a $355,374 reduction in salaries and benefits due to the retirements or attrition of an assistant principal position at the Central School, a part-time physical education position and part-time community education position. Three part-time positions - music, physical education and art teachers - have been eliminated for a savings of $129,825. The budget includes the cost of increases in medical and dental insurance, contributions to the New Hampshire retirement system, and a 2.1 percent salary increase per negotiated labor contracts.
Overall, the proposed fiscal 2013-14 budget is $60,172 less than last fiscal year.
Peranelli said the Moultonborough School District is experiencing a decrease in enrollment, like many other districts in the state, with an aging population and out-migration of young families. She said the district has lost 142 students over the last 10 years.
At the elementary school, the decrease translated to five fewer elementary school classes and the loss of five elementary teaching positions through attrition, she added. Version three of the proposed budget reflected two additional cuts to teaching positions, but those were reinstated following public outcry at an earlier meeting.
Other warrant articles include a request to authorize and school board to contract with an independent auditing firm for a fiscal year audit; a request to add $50,000 to the special education expendable trust fund (no amount raised by taxation); and an article that would authorize the school district to retain a year-end unassigned general fund not to exceed 2.5 percent of the current fiscal year's net assessment. The fund would be used as an emergency fund.
School board and town elections will take place on March 12, at the Moultonborough Public Safety Building, 1035 Whittier Highway, from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. The school district and town meeting will be held on March 16 at 9 a.m. at the Moultonborough Academy auditorium.

Logitech MX1000 Laser Cordless Mouse
Price: $159.95
Rating: * * * * ½
Website: www.logitech.com
Laser is the future for mouse technology, according to Logitech. Just when it looked like optical mice couldn't improve any more, the peripherals maker has released a laser-equipped rodent it claims will make conventional LED-based optical mice obsolete.
The new device, it's claimed, has laser emitted scans that are 20 times faster than LED and work on high-gloss surfaces that would normally stop an optical mouse in its tracks.
In practice, the difference is remarkable when comparing the MX1000 Laser to any standard red light model (the laser is virtually invisible to the naked eye, so there's no glow to the mouse). Surfaces where a LED mouse wouldn't register movement proved no problem to the MX1000. This high-end model is pitched at gamers, graphic designers and CAD users, and it does perform brilliantly in fast action gaming.
What's more remarkable is the fact that it is cordless, communicating to an USB receiver on a radio frequency. It's not Bluetooth, though, which is still reserved for Logitech's most expensive model. There are no batteries to replace - the mouse is rechargeable. The USB receiver doubles as a charging dock, resembling a kind of futuristic throne where the mouse sits upright.
The MX1000's shape is heavily sculpted and is one of the most comfortable shapes Logitech has conceived. A three-segment LED battery gauge sitting between the thumb and index finger keeps you appraised of the power.
The obligatory scroll wheel is framed by "cruise" buttons above and below for scanning up and down pages with ease. The wheel also now rocks side to side for horizontal scrolling, like Microsoft's tilt-wheel. There are two more buttons that are handy for going back and forward in a browser, and an application switcher above the thumb recess. Logitech has done a brilliant job of making this high-performance technology both comfortable and easy to use.

1. Re: Factories with Optional @Qualifiers, @Stereotypes and @Produces, How?Marko Lukša Feb 29, 2012 7:11 AM (in response to Andrew Hughes)
Just make the producer method like this:
@Produces public Widget produceWidget(InjectionPoint injectionPoint);
The injectionPoint argument will contain the metadata of the field that is being injected. The producer method can therefore inspect the annotations of that field and produce the widget according to the annotations.
Look at the HttpParams example at http://docs.jboss.org/weld/reference/1.1.0.Final/en-US/html_single/#d0e1624

Hi Marko,
Thanks for your reply. I had hoped for a different answer, I am dissapointed. The reason is this... there is nothing in CDI to ensure that the resolved @Produces will have any consideration for the Injection Point's unique combination of qualifiers. Perhaps this is actually seen as an advantage?
So why am I saying all this...
After experiencing both Guice and CDI I can see several pro's/con's between the two. Like a kid in a candy store, Guice's @Assisted injection is just too damn good - I want it, I want it.... It's capability to realize a super clean and type safe factory pattern with almost zero effort is brilliant. Not to mention the fact that it can take in supplied (non primitive) arguments.
If there is a better way to realize this, or if someone can explain it better can I suggest we start an article (or some form of documentation) to help out as many people as we can to explain recommended solutions?
