Time Warner Inc. (NYSE: TWX) (formerly AOL Time Warner) is one of the world's largest media conglomerates. It operates Time Warner Cable and TV programming and magazines such as Time Inc., Warner Brothers, and HBO. Its publishing business segments have been hard hit with falling advertising revenue. In December 2009, AOL was spun-off from Time Warner, making it an independent company again for the first time since the beginning of the 2000's.[1] Time Warner Cable (TWC) was spun off from the company in March 2009.[2]
Although its filmed entertainment business produces successful block buster movies like "The Dark Knight" and franchises like "Harry Potter" and "Ocean's", a continuing trend of falling movie theater attendance is troublesome for the company; this decrease can be attributed to high priced movie tickets along with poor economic conditions, and as HDTV's become more inexpensive and home theater systems more affordable, consumers will switch to the latter option.
Time Warner operates three business segments: Filmed Entertainment, Networks, and Publishing
Time Warner, under Warner Bros. Entertainment Group and New Line Cinema Corporation, produces and distributes theatrical motion pictures, television shows, and license rights to the its films and television shows.
This business segment offers pay television programming services such as HBO and Cinemax and operates domestic and international networks. Revenue consists of subscriber fees paid by cable system operators and satellite distribution services, and of advertisings. Time Warner is planning to expand into the online TV market as well, showing some of its popular shows to paid subscribers, following in the suit of Comcast.[4]

Church members distribute back packs full of food
For many kids, school breakfast and/or lunch is the only meal they eat during the day.
That's only when classes are in session which leaves out vacations and other times school is dismissed.
State officials estimate that one in five kids in Nebraska, under the age of 18, is at risk of hunger.
The fact that some kids and their families are hungry is what prompted Kendra and Shawn Boyd to start a Backpack Program in Gothenburg.
Back packs are filled at the American Lutheran Church with non-perishable goods, to make food easier to carry, one week and are to be returned the following week to be re-stocked.
Usually, the pack provides two breakfast meals and two lunch or dinner meals.
Kendra said the program, launched in 2006 in Nebraska and Iowa, helps families that are struggling to make ends meet.
The push for Kendra and Shawn to start the program, she said, is because 29% of the students who attend Gothenburg Public Schools receive free- or reduced-price meals.
And they were noticing hungry children who attend J.A.M. (Jesus Alive in Me), an after-school church program open to all elementary-aged children, and who frequent the local food pantry in the church.
"The meal they get at J.A.M. is often the only evening meal they get and it's after school," she said.
The couple was also involved in the Backpack Program, through their church, when they lived in Lincoln. There they saw how the program could provide meals over the weekend and during vacations.
Kendra said the Boyds brought the idea to the mission team at their church, did a fund raiser and launched a local Backpack Program last spring.
Money from the fund raiser was used to buy backpacks and food. The backpack program is maintained as a separate program from the food pantry in the church.
"It feels good," Kendra said about the distribution of food to children and families that need it. "Anytime you do a mission that can be direct and local, it impacts the community."
At the moment, Kendra said food distribution is stalled because volunteers don't have enough names of families in need.
Such families or people with suggestions of families are asked to call the American Lutheran Church at 537-3433.
Kendra said they hope to do another food distribution in March.
In 2012, the program distributed backpacks full of food six different times.
Besides Kendra and Shawn, other coordinators of the Backpack Program are Wenda Keiser and Jim Long.

The Catholic Media Conference in Charlotte last week did not disappoint, as Our Sunday Visitor received 13 awards from the Catholic Press Association: three for books and 10 for periodicals, including nine for OSV Newsweekly.
For books, the "Encyclopedia of U.S. Catholic History" by Matthew Bunson and Margaret Bunson received first-place honors in the "Reference Books" category; "Immigration and the Next America" by Archbishop José H. Gomez received second place in the "Immigration" category; and "Catholic Mom's Café" by Donna-Marie Cooper O'Boyle received third-place honors in the "Family Life" category.
The Catholic Answer columnist Elizabeth Scalia received first place for "Best Regular Column" — "Ora Pro Nobis" — on spiritual life.
OSV Newsweekly received a nice variety of recognitions, starting with third place in the "Best Front Page" category, with what the judges called a "nice variety of designs."
OSV Contributing Editor Emily Stimpson won third place for her feature story on couples facing the cross of infertility. And freelance writer Scott Alessi won honorable mention in sports journalism for his story about the NCAA's "Catholic league."
Also recognized were Matthew Bunson, Russell Shaw and the entire staff for second-place coverage of the papal transition from the resignation of Pope Benedict through the conclave.
OSV also received first-place honors for its strong work at explaining the Church's position on marriage. A trio of articles was submitted for this entry: Brandon Vogt's wildly popular "10 rebuttals to arguments for same-sex marriage" and his corresponding interview with Harvard Professor Robert P. George (both in the issue of Jan. 13, 2013), and Melinda Selmys' essay in the July 14 issue.
The newsweekly also won third place for the "Saints for Our Time" special supplement from last November.
It was particularly gratifying for the staff, after much hard work, to receive the first place award for "Best Newspaper Website." Judges said OSV.com has "a clean layout that's not afraid to use white space effectively" and "a hierarchy of stories that's pleasing to the eye."
In addition, the Editorial Board received first place for its editorial "The Ideological Divide," from the issue of Aug. 25.
Finally, OSV Newsweekly received second place for "General Excellence." "Wonderfully written and thoughtful articles with very strong photos and art make OSV very difficult to put down," the judges wrote. "Simply compelling portrait of Catholic life and issues."
I might be biased, but I couldn't agree more.
While receiving awards isn't the end goal of this publication, I am very proud of the quality work done by our excellent writers and top-notch editors and designers week after week.
We love what we do, we are committed to our mission, and I'm glad that it shows.

Weed Badger Division introduces the Model 4200 Weed Badger Series, a major breakthrough for in-row tillage and mowing in orchards, vineyards, nurseries, and berry farms.
The 4200 Model is designed for smaller tractors in the 18 to 30 HP range. With rising fuels costs affecting the bottom line, more smaller tractors are being put into the field for in-row, under-canopy maintenance. The new Weed Badger Series puts the aggressive weed killing tool to work on these lighter tractors with less field compaction.
The Model 4200 series is also very narrow. It is ideal for working in high-density plantings. When mounted on a 36-inch wide tractor this Weed Badger can squeeze through row middles as narrow as 47-inches and adds as little as 9 inches to tractor width when retracted.
The new machine saves money by reducing hand labor costs. It eliminates the need for toxic herbicides to burn back weeds in the strips.
The Model 4200 series will even take the pain out of weed control for some specialty vegetable crop growers, cut flower operations, and other crops where hand hoeing has been the only viable option. By straddling the rows and tilling beside the plants, hand labor is reduced to a bare minimum or eliminated completely.
It is loaded with features including a no-chatter pump drive system, on-the-go tilt, and a rugged frame. Interchangeable optional attachments make the machine a powerful in-row tool carrier. You can till, mow, sweep, stir mulch, disk, and more.
Ask for our free video or DVD. Call (800) 437-3392. 24-hour fax number (701) 778-7501. The Web site is: www.weedbadger.com. E-mail is [email protected].

Portsmouth have extended Scott Allan's loan stay by a further month.
The West Brom midfielder joined a month ago on for an initial one-month deal.
The 21-year-old has made four appearances for Pompey, scoring one goal in the defeat against Leyton Orient, but missed three games after receiving a red card against Notts County in the FA Cup.
Caretaker boss Guy Whittingham told BBC Radio Solent: "I am pleased to get that done. He can be influential has got good ability, can see a pass and unlock defences."
Allan, who had a spell at Fratton Park last season, has yet to appear for the Baggies' first team.

Technical informations
This slide guide is intended for simple applications for light loads that require few cycles. The detachable beam facilitates maintenance operations. It is used for retractable trays for computers or printers, keyboards. Very light, it is particularly well suited for aerospace applications.
we do not recommend vertical mounting (guillotine) for this model.
Recommended operating temperatures from -20 to 80°C.
Installing these guides in applications with severe vibrations is not recommended: indentation of profiles by ball bearings might occure. Do not hesitate to contact us.
This slide is very compact, do not use flat mounted: increased risk of friction between beams during operation. In addition, a flat mounting will create significant deflection.
Mounting in the minor axis is not recommended as the sections could deform when under load increasing friction and possibly damaging the slide.
These slides are not designed to withstand intensive use.
This product can be used as a keyboard drawer, Slide-pan, telescopic rod, drawer slide, furniture slide, handling rail, suspended horizontal guidance, or in some cases, as vertical guide as guard door.
Chambrelan produces this telescopic slide using extruded aluminum profiles.
Anti-corrosion standard coating is soft anodisation.
It is equipped with polyamide stoppers when opening and rubber stoppers when closing.
It has ball cages made of polyamid.
Its ball bearings are made of 100C6 chrome steel. It is greased with a white grease.
Chambrelan is specialized in the design and manufacturing of telescopic slides and rails for industrial applications: reinforced slides, linear slide bearings rail, bearings guide, steel, aluminum or stainless steel sliders, partial, full or over extension, heavy duty industrial drawers...
Standard slides are delivered slightly greased. We use a high pressure bearing grease for steel slides and a white grease for aluminum and stainless slides. Upon request, we can use food grease (compatible clean room) a high temperature grease a teflon free grease (for spray booths...) grease free mounting (although we do not advise this option)
A food safe grease, combined with stainless steel ball bearings, offers a cheap alternative to stainless steel slides.
Manual lock
- D444V : lock opened: when extended, push the lock to close the slider.
- D444F : lock closed: when closed, push the lock to open the slider.
the presence of lock and latches makes some shorter lengths impossible to manufacture. Moreover some standard holes may not be present.
we do not recommend locking options for use in vertically mounted (guillotine) applications.
Surface treatment
hard anodizing is not recommended with locks in opened position.
Stainless stell ball bearings mounting
It can be mounted with stainless steel balls to get a very good corrosion resistance, which in some cases can provide an economical alternative to stainless steel slides.
high temp use
We do not recommend using this product outside the standard temperature range.
Development changes
The extension of this slide cannot be modified on stock items. On request, we can produce the requested extension. Please allow a production lead time.
increased development reduces the maximum permissible load.
Vertical mounting
This slide can not be mounted vertically (guillotine).
Same models
This model has equivalent models, whose overall dimensions and the diagrams of drillings are close or identical:
Partial extension
Total extension
Over extension

Good news! TT has a complete set of 720p subs in, I believe, Chinese. I discovered I had downloaded a couple of these back some months ago when I was looking at alternatives to Huzzah. I ran mkvextract on episode ten and pulled the complete video stream, but mplayer displays it at very high speeds. I imagine I can figure out why this is, though any suggestions about how to fix the timings would be helpful. In the meantime I'm downloading the entire batch torrent. At current speeds, though, my torrent client estimates it will take two weeks! Lots of time to find a translator, and a lot better than $hundreds for Blu-rays.

I posted a request for a translator in the staffing thread. We'll see what happens.
In the meantime when I tried to find the now-removed AS page for Hyouge Mono on Google tonight I found to follow this link to the DMCA request filed against this show. Well, the linked page at chillingeffects.org says only that the request "is not yet available," but what is more puzzling is that it was filed by Funimation! I have seen not one iota of evidence that Funi has any intention of licensing this show. I'm guessing they filed the request on behalf of the Japanese studios. I've heard they have been doing that even for shows they do not intend to license themselves. It's possible for someone to act as the agent of the rights holder and file a take-down request, so it might well be legitimate. Still it has to make you wonder what the point of this is. It was the case that NHK sent a C&D to AnimeSuki which resulted in the removal of the listing of Huzzah's subs. Perhaps I need to tread carefully here, though you would think that the JP rights holders would have gone after Huzzah or Koeisub if they were really trying to block access to Hyouge Mono.

I would imagine that the Japanese right holders asked Funi to file it in on their behalf, since I can not imagine them seriously consider licensing and trying to release this series all the while trying to turn a profit. It's not a seller, no matter what way you cut it. A few of us will end buying it, but even then that would just be drops in a bucket.
In any case, thanks SeijiSensei for the effort you are giving to make sure this series sees completion

Osen's eyes still really creep me out. I noticed that Oda's sibling (?) doesn't have that narrow-eyed look, but she is hardly the demure helpmeet that Osen appears to be.
The whole wireframe business was rather a trip. The direction in this episode felt different than in earlier installments.
So I take it Soueki-dono's one goal in life is to thrust all of Japan into some kind of darkness to match his preferred color scheme? What was wrong with Nobunaga in that role? Or perhaps Soueki felt he couldn't control Nobunaga like he can Hideyoshi? The fact that Soueki could incite those men to burn the tower was truly impressive. I was left with the impression that his whole purpose was to remove the white.
I went back and starting watching again around episode 13 or so to get up to speed with this one. I think now I want to go back farther and watch the plot against Oda unfold again and rewatch the remarkable assassination episode.
I'm glad I wasn't disappointed with the episode or the subbing. You know who you are; thanks!

Apparently there is no OST album for this series. I did some searching on Google and at CDJapan, and all I can find are a CD for "Kizuna" and one for "Bowl Man." (The marijuana/breakup events have seemingly not discouraged the music company from continuing to distribute this album.)
Rather surprising, don't you think, since the composer is the well-known Ôtani Kô.

A semi-OST: JSPCDK-1009 乙/ cro-magnon×Hyouge Mono
It's strange that nobody mentioned the 5 minutes specials "meihin-meiseki", which aired after Hyougemono, which featured some real nice information (real-life) about some of the masterpieces shown in Hyougemono.

I ran the Japanese description through Google Translate for that CD and got this:
Do you know if the various pieces on Otsu are the actual compositions by Ôtani performed by Cro-magnon, or were they composed by the group and inspired by the characters?
In any event, I saw that item while searching, but as you know it is not what I'm looking for. Thanks for suggesting it.
I looked in the Chinese batch and those shorts you mentioned are included without any subs, even in Chinese. They looked quite interesting, though while watching I wondered whether they would be difficult to translate because they appear to cover technical information like glazes and such. Who knows, maybe they will get translated into English, too.
I've started over from the beginning and have re-watched the first two episodes. They're brilliant. I still love Nobunaga in his Portugeuse garb. Also in episode two he asks his three tea masters what they think of his enormous warships and Soueki tells Nobu that they lack something important. The crowd murmurs as they have just seen another man sliced to death before their eyes for displeasing Nobunaga. Soueki of course says they should be painted black. Nobunaga is so taken with the idea of fleets of death attacking the Mori clan that he promotes Soueki on the spot. And so it begins.
Update: I have a couple of the individual episodes from Koei. They include the associated short subject and a set of Chinese subs. For some reason I cannot find the equivalent subs in the batch release, but they do exist. There's an archive of all the subs, but looking at the texts they seem to apply to the full episodes. I cannot find the equivalent archive for the short subjects.

My daughter told me that in the new Pokemon Conquest game you get to fight Nobunaga. I wonder what element he's weak against?

Here's another vote of thanks as I see episode 25 is now available. I've put off watching this show until I can give the full attention it deserves, but that doesn't mean I'm not grateful for Doremi's efforts on our behalf!

Whoa! You wait weeks for an episode of Hyouge Mono then three turn up at once!
Thanks Doremi!
Edit: And two more appeared since I wrote that. Fantastic!
Some heavy stuff goes down in this batch, but there are some funny bits to balance it.

I love Hyouge, but I wish the good folks at Doremi would divert some manpower to finishing up GeK. That's a series that's current enough to where finishing it in a timely fashion would have some import. Hyouge has been over so long that a fee extra weeks really don't make much difference.

demanding that Senator
Jeff Flake
take action to pass commonsense gun
reforms. Ads will air in key states during the upcoming Congressional
recess and can be found here: www.demandaction.org/recessads

legislation is on the table - it's time for our leaders in

"As many as 40 percent of all gun transfers take place without

The ads also precede the coalition's plans for more than 100
events across the country on Thursday, March 28 as part of its National
Day to Demand Action. Grassroots supporters of Mayors Against Illegal
Guns will organize events and petition drives and generate an
unprecedented number of calls into Senate district offices to call for
their representatives to support commonsense gun laws like expanded
background checks. In Arizona, events will be held in Tempe and Tucson.
The day is expected to be the largest gun violence advocacy event in
history and is part of the largest field campaign in U.S. history to
address gun violence. The coalition recently announced that it is hiring
organizers and opening campaign offices in ten key states.
Around 40 percent of U.S. gun transfers are conducted by unlicensed
"private sellers" who are not required to conduct a federal
check,[1] and who often do business at gun shows and on the Internet -
indicating that about 6.6 million guns are transferred in the U.S. every
year with no background check for the buyer.[2] This loophole allows
dangerous people who are prohibited from buying guns - including felons,
domestic abusers and the seriously mentally ill - to avoid a background
check by simply avoiding licensed dealers.
Evidence demonstrates that background checks save lives. For
example, in the fourteen states that already require background checks
for all handgun sales:
* Gun trafficking is 48 percent lower than in states that fail to
require background checks for all handgun sales.[3]
* In 2010, the rate of women murdered by an intimate partner with a
gun was 38 percent lower than in other states, while the rate murdered
by other means was nearly identical.[4]
* The firearm suicide rate was 49 percent lower than in other
states, even though people committed suicide in other ways at almost
precisely the same rate.[5]
* In 2011, of states with sufficient data, those that required
background checks for all handgun sales had 17 percent fewer firearm
aggravated assaults, controlling for population.[6]
Recent polls by Mayors Against Illegal Guns showed likely voters in
a wide range of states and congressional districts overwhelmingly
support background checks for all gun sales. The average support for
background checks for all gun sales among 41 congressional district
polls was 89 percent; the average among 21 statewide polls was 86
percent. In Arizona, 90 percent support background checks for all sales.
The findings of these surveys can be found here.
These findings are in line with recent independent polls that have
found more than 90 percent of Americans support background checks for
all buyers. Previous polling by Republican Frank Luntz for Mayors
Against Illegal Guns also found that 82 percent of gun owners -
including 74 percent of National Rifle Association members - support
requiring criminal background checks for anyone purchasing a gun.
Recent Mayors Against Illegal Guns research found that an estimated
96.1 percent of Arizona residents live within ten miles of a gun dealer
- disproving the gun lobby's claim that background checks would be
burdensome for private gun sellers and bolstering the case for checks on
all gun sales.
About Mayors Against Illegal Guns
Since its creation in April 2006, Mayors Against Illegal Guns has
grown from 15 members to more than 900 mayors from across the country.
We have more than 1.5 million grassroots supporters, making us the
largest gun violence prevention advocacy organization in the country.
The bipartisan coalition, co-chaired by New York City Mayor Michael
Bloomberg and Boston Mayor Thomas Menino, has united the nation's
mayors around these common goals: protecting communities by holding gun
offenders accountable; demanding access to crime gun trace data that is
critical to law enforcement efforts to combat gun trafficking; and
working with legislators to fix weaknesses and loopholes in the law that
make it far too easy for criminals and other dangerous people to get
guns. Learn more at www.mayorsagainstillegalguns.org.

MEXICO CITY (AP) — President Enrique Pena Nieto sought to calm tensions Monday over the still-undecided election for governor of the key Mexican border state of Baja California after both sides claimed victory and authorities said mistakes were made in preliminary vote counts.
Complaints over the election in Baja and other states have led the conservative National Action Party to suggest it could pull out of an agreement known as the Pact for Mexico that has become a centerpiece of Pena Nieto's administration.
"It is now up to all candidates and political parties to abide by the decision expressed by citizens at the polls," Pena Nieto said Monday, adding that the vote "confirms the strength and validity of our democracy, but also makes clear there are areas of opportunity to perfect the system."
The preliminary count from Baja California, with about 97 percent of the vote, showed National Action's Francisco "Kiko" Vega ahead with a nearly 3 percentage point lead. But because of technical errors, that count "should not be considered reliable," said election council spokeswoman Helga Casanova. The more thorough official count will begin Wednesday and conclude Sunday.
Vega, who ran in a coalition with the leftist Democratic Revolution Party, had earlier claimed victory, as did the PRI's candidate, Fernando Castro Trenti.
Baja California is especially important to National Action, which has held the governorship since 1989, when its victory was the first recognized opposition win in Mexico's modern history — a democratic milepost for a country dominated by Pena Nieto's Institutional Revolutionary Party, the PRI, from 1929 to 2000.
National Action lost the presidency itself to the PRI last year, but its leaders joined other major parties in signing the pact to cooperate with Pena Nieto in passing education and telecommunications reform laws. Important challenges remain in tax and energy reform.
But National Action officials allege the PRI is returning to its strong-arm tactics of the past, undermining their ability to cooperate.
"We are seeing two realities," National Action leader Gustavo Madero said.
"The Pact for Mexico is very civilized, very advanced policy, but on the other hand, when there are elections, it's back to acting like the 1970s or 80s," Madero said, referring to an era when the PRI ruled through vote fraud and handouts.
Pena Nieto urged continuing support for the pact, saying his government is committed to "continue the dialogue and agreements with all political forces to achieve the reforms needed to consolidate Mexico's democracy."
PRI leader Cesar Camacho brushed off criticisms of Sunday's election, saying the voting in most states appeared to be fair. He alleged that some voters were being intimidated in National Action-led Baja California and that someone had thrown a gasoline bomb at the home of a PRI municipal candidate.
Elections were also held Sunday for state legislators and mayorships in 13 other states after violence-marred campaigns. At least nine candidates, party officials or their family members were killed and others reported being kidnapped or shot at in the runup to the vote.
A young political activist was shot to death on election day in the Gulf coast state of Veracruz and Camacho claimed that he was a PRI supporter.
The causes of most of the attacks are still uncertain. Some fear that drug gangs are asserting their power. Others fear that candidates are being targeted by their rivals.
In local races, the PRI appeared to be winning the mayorship of the border city of Tijuana, while National Action was ahead in Mexicali, the Baja California state capital. Further east along the border, National Action was ahead in the cities of Nuevo Laredo and Matamoros.
To the south, National Action led in the colonial city of Oaxaca, while the PRI claimed to have won the mayorship of the resort city of Cancun.
In the Veracruz state capital of Xalapa, Morris — a cat whose owners ran him as a write-in candidate for mayor to illustrate disgust with the country's politicians — may have won several thousand votes. While electoral authorities simply list write-in votes in a column labeled "unregistered," and don't break down who they were for, there were about 3,400 votes in the column by early Monday. That was about 3.5 percent of the votes counted up to that point. No other city in the state showed anywhere near that level of unregistered votes.
The cat's campaign managers — his owners — asserted in a statement that his real number of votes may have been 8 percent or more of the total, because many precincts also appear to have listed votes for the cat as "void," a column that included about 5,400 more votes, rather than "unregistered." That would have placed the black-and-white feline in fourth place in the race, ahead of six other candidates.
Hundreds of voters sent photos of their ballots to the cat's web site, showing their voting cards marked "Morris" and "Morris The Cat."

Chickens winging it at Illinois governor's mansion
Chickens winging it at Illinois governor's mansion
May. 09, 2014
SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (AP) — Things are getting a little fowl at the Illinois governor's mansion.
A flock of eight clucking hens has moved onto Executive Mansion property, laying eggs that are eaten by guests dining at the home in downtown Springfield.
The chickens, which peck at flowers, recycle plant waste and provide manure for the gardens, live in a donated coop that's inside a fenced-in enclosure. The poultry's part of an ongoing sustainability effort.
Backyard chickens are legal in Springfield and several other Illinois communities and have become increasing popular as part of a local food movement, among other reasons.
The Springfield bureau of Lee Enterprises reports (http://bit.ly/1j9uchW ) the chickens typically lay an egg a day, which is often scrambled with cream by mansion staff. The barnyard animals have also become a popular spectacle for school children visiting the 159-year-old Italianate home.
"It's really the highlight, much more so than the house," said Mansion director Dave Bourland. "They all ask, 'Why do you have chickens at the governor's mansion?'"
The hen house includes various types of chickens, including Rhode Island Reds and Ameraucanas, which were rescued from a nearby farm. The hens munch on chicken scratch and garden vegetation.
There is, however, one thing missing from the backyard.
"We don't have a rooster," said Herman Lewis, the mansion's master gardener who tends to the chickens. "They'd make too much noise."

The Tulane Institute on Water Resources Law and Policy has released a White Paper looking at how the RESTORE Act will work and its implications on the ecosystems and communities of the Gulf. The paper, "Promise, Purpose, and Challenge: Putting the RESTORE Act into Context for the Communities and Ecosystems of the Gulf of Mexico", is aimed at improving the public's understanding about the Act and how it will work.
The RESTORE Act was enacted by Congress in 2012 and redirects ta portion of the Clean Water Act administrative and civil penalties flowing from the Deep Water Horizon disaster to the Gulf Coast for ecologic restoration, economic sustainability, and the encouragement of Gulf oriented science.
According to Institute Director Mark Davis, "The RESTORE Act is an unprecedented redirection of Clean Water Act penalties and like most unprecedented things comes with limitations, questions, and new responsibilities. The Act can help make many good things happen but there are many needs it won't touch. It will take concerted effort and meaningful public engagement to deliver on the promise of this Act. While no one wants future spills, history teaches that we will have them. Whether future Clean Water Act dollars will go to improving the areas impacted by those spills will turn largely on whether the RESTORE Act is an experiment the country thinks was a success."

Summary of key design principles
Scaling Edges
Achieving innovation at the institutional level is no trivial task. Executives that attempt large scale, internal change and transformation often face a great wall of resistance. The framework we describe provides executives in large companies with a framework for exacting major change via the pursuit of edge opportunities. In the final sections of this paper, we explore the three key levers of the framework (Focus, Leverage and Accelerate) in greater detail. The framework is further broken down into twelve key design principles to provide greater context and guidance on how to successfully achieve change through the pursuit of an edge.

A New Breed of Leadership
Case study
When Wired Magazine Editor-in-Chief Chris Anderson had to find a president for his fledgling unmanned aerial vehicle business, commonly referred to as UAVs or Drones, it was not a litany of Stanford degrees, but an online video of a helicopter operated by Wii controller that moved Jordi Muñoz's resume to the top of the stack. Relatively untrained (Muñoz attended one year of University in Mexico before moving to San Diego with his wife), and completely untested in the world of business, it was Muñoz's passion for Drones and prominence in amateur Drone communities that won him the job.
In 2009, Anderson and Muñoz co-founded 3D Robotics – a robot manufacturing company with factories in San Diego, California and Bangkok, Thailand. In short order, the firm had grown to 11 staffers, and in March 2011, revenues hit over one hundred and sixty thousand dollars, up from a modest five thousand their first month. Still a small player in the space, 3D Robotics is generating buzz among large clients. 3D Robotics is able to innovate so quickly in large part because of its rich participation in knowledge flows, including a 15,000-member community of enthusiasts at DIY Drones centered on the open source coding to operate UAVs.
Though Muñoz did not have the traditional credentials to lead such a fast-growing venture, his passion for the work and access to rich flows of information made him the strongest candidate. This passion has carried over into his tenure at 3D Robotics. He and Anderson share a vision of a world where drones are household entities: "Our approach," he said in one interview, "is the personal computer." To achieve this, Muñoz has retained the questing and connecting dispositions that helped cultivate his boyhood fascination into a deep expertise.Return to the framework
SDN Measures Up For SAP
Case study
In 1996, Germany's SAP AG had more than 9,000 of its enterprise software systems installed at companies worldwide. As the number of applications grew, however, it was increasingly difficult to search for information and communicate across systems. To overcome this challenge, SAP developed an application called NetWeaver, which layered its existing enterprise applications on top of each other, enabling the applications to "communicate" more easily.
When SAP's product development team began selling NetWeaver, it became apparent that it's value in part depended on having a network of individuals that engaged with NetWeaver on an ongoing basis. SAP launched the SAP Developer Network (SDN) in 2005, which served as a platform for forums, wikis, videos, and blogs to enable developers to share knowledge about platforms and SAP products.
Since the success of SDN was so closely linked to the success of NetWeaver, it was imperative that leadership choose the correct metrics by which to evaluate SDN's impact. Leadership began looking at items such as collaboration activity, membership, forum posts, and average response time to questions on the forum. It was clear, by the average response time of 17 minutes and that 85% of all discussions were closed, that SDN had an impact within the community.
While important to SDN leadership, these metrics did not easily translate to show impact on SAP's core operations. To address this, SDN leaders also tracked metrics significant to the broader organization. For example, SDN demonstrated it could improve SAP's traditional customer service needs, decreasing the number of troubleshooting complaints to service centers. Tracking these metrics helped demonstrate the success of SDN and the NetWeaver platform to project and executive leadership.Return to the framework
Innocentive: The Community That's Cleaning Up Corporate Challenges
Case study
In 2008, consumer goods giant Procter and Gamble (P&G) wanted to create a specialized dishwashing detergent that would indicate when the right amount of soap had been added to a sink full of dirty dishes. Researchers and developers within the organization were stumped by the challenge, and unsure of how to proceed, decided to look externally for support.
P&G posted the innovation challenge with the help of Innocentive, a small, unknown start-up based in Waltham, MA. Using Innocentive's network platform, P&G described the problem and offered $30,000 to the individual who could come up with a solution. Soon, thanks to Innocentive's network of experts, P&G had its answer. Italian chemist Giorgia Sgargetta successfully pioneered a dye which met P&G's needs in her home laboratory. Sgargetta walked away with her "prize" of $30,000, and P&G had resolved its innovation challenge.
Innocentive started in 1998, when Alph Bingham and Aaron Schacht, then scientists at pharmaceutical giant Eli Lilly, were brainstorming how the growth of the Internet would affect business. In 2001, Eli Lilly launched Innocentive with seed funding, and since then, the site has posted more than 1,300 challenges across 40 disciplines to its solver community.
While the company's mission has stayed consistent over the years, the operating model has evolved to allow for increased interactions between community participants. Initially, the majority of interactions were centrally coordinated, using singular, transactional challenges. Since its inception, however, Innocentive has worked to create new offerings including eRFP systems and Team Project Rooms to encourage collaboration. These improvements have allowed for more relationship-based, dynamic ecosystems to form. Rather than transact on one-off challenges, it is not uncommon for participants to collaborate repeatedly, forming virtual teams that learn together and develop in the long-run. By encouraging these deeper relationships, Innocentive has evolved to a dynamic solver community of 250,000 individuals from 200 countries.Return to the framework
App-relief: Masses Help Clean The Gulf Coast Oil Spill
Case study
On April 20, 2010, the explosion of Deep Water Horizon caused the largest marine oil spill in history, releasing up to 4.9 million barrels of oil and causing economic and ecological distress in the Gulf Coast region. In the wake of this tragic event, oil seeped into fishing grounds, waterways, marshes, and beaches and a vast clean-up effort began.
Meanwhile, government agencies and civic organizations scrambled to deploy resources effectively across a vast spill zone. The government used hotlines and other outlets to report spill activity, but these methods were inaccurate and required a high level of effort for a citizen to file a report. Dissatisfied with its current means to track spill activity, the government needed to mobilize external support to fast-track its efforts. The solution: tap into the power of crowd sourcing.
The government used smartphone applications, such as SpillMap, to track the spill by enabling citizens to tag locations and submit content-rich incident reports with text, photos and videos. This geo-aware and open-source application tapped into the user mobile activity, allowing users to tag incidents in seconds, without logging in or waiting on hold. With more than 15,000 posts, SpillMap (and the corresponding Web site, spillmap.org) made real-time conditions publicly available to government agencies, civic organizations, and other interested parties.
Not only did the volume of incidents reported on SpillMap exceed the volume reported on many hotlines, but the geo-specific and image-rich posts often provided greater value, helping volunteer organizations prioritize and deploy resources, and allowing users all over the country to receive updates in real time. The success of Spillmap is just one example of how organizations can rapidly expand the number of participants in an ecosystem and get better results.Return to the framework
Company Command Grows The Right Way
Case study
In 1999, Nate Allen, Tony Burgess and Pete Kilner reflected upon their experiences as Captains in the U.S. Army. The three recalled the challenges as new army leaders, with limited working knowledge about how to manage the 50-300 personnel within their company. Despite training at West Point Academy, many skills needed for the position were learned on-the-job.
To address this problem, Allen, Burgess and Kilner envisioned a site that would allow company commanders past and present to share knowledge, learning, and questions and develop new military leaders. The next year, they launched an online professional forum, called Company Command (CC).The story of Company Command offers several insights into how an edge can maximize and capture learning.
First, the Company Command founders staged an iterative approach to the site's launch. The team began by hosting Company Command externally, on civilian servers. By beginning outside of the military, Company Command built trust with participants that it was not controlled by 'the man.' In 2002, the site was gifted to the U.S. Army. Company Command had scaled significantly and core leadership recognized the site's value with the impending invasion of Iraq to help commanders learn and react to new types of urban warfare. In 2004, the team transitioned Company Command to the Army's Single Sign On system on Department of Defense servers. Switching over to secure sign-on ensured that sensitive information could be shared, making the site even more valuable for participants.
In addition to staging, Company Command founders encouraged both horizontal and vertical cascades that resulted from the site's launch. As the site grew in popularity, other levels recognized the value in a shared platform. In 2001, Platoon Leader was launched as an equivalent learning portal for junior leaders in the Army. Simultaneously, Company Command founders utilized its network of "point-men" to roll-out the launch horizontally across commanders in different arms of the military. These cascades allowed Company Command to test ideas and progress the team's thinking.Return to the framework
SpineConnect: Using Trust To Sell Tools
Case study
Most surgeons rely on peer feedback when selecting which medical devices to use. However, in 2000, Scott Capdeveille recognized that medical device manufactures were failing to address this need, and as a result, were struggling to effectively communicate the benefits of new products they introduced to surgeons.
To address this, Capdeveille founded SpineConnect, an online platform for spinal surgeons. SpineConnect served as an online community of practice where surgeons could discuss innovative procedures and new devices from manufacturers and share case studies of their use. Ultimately, these conversations allowed medical device manufacturers to tap into expert user-feedback on their products and gain an effective channel for marketing to the surgeons who use their products.
To date, SpineConnect has successfully signed on 1,400 (more than 40%) of certified spine surgeons in the United States, and 74% of these surgeons have indicated that suggestions from SpineConnect have altered their surgical plans. In addition, Syndicom has also launched TraumaConnect and ArthroplastyConnect, which connect trauma surgeons and orthopedic surgeons respectively. Syndicom's share platforms allow users to build long-term relationships and engage in trust-based interactions, which in turn, create a great deal of value for all participants.Return to the framework

The Newton-Evans Research Co. identified a number of interesting findings from four of its recently completed studies on the electric power telecommunications usage patterns and trends:
"The World Market Study of SCADA, EMS, DMS and OMS in Electric Utilities: 2013-2015"
"Global Study of Data Communications Usage Patterns and Plans in the Electric Power Industry: 2011-2015"
"Worldwide Study of the Protective Relay Marketplace in Electric Utilities: 2012-2014"
"The World Market for Substation Automation and Integration Programs in Electric Utilities: 2011-2013."
Following is a synopsis of the findings from those studies published during mid-2011 through February 2013.
Communication Methods
In January 2013, Newton-Evans released new information gleaned from more than 110 North American electric power utilities in its study of emergency management systems (EMS), supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems, distribution management systems (DMS) and outage management systems (OMS). Based on the study, when it comes to wide-area communications methods used to connect EMS, SCADA and DMS systems to substations, 78% of responding utilities said they either currently use or plan to use at least some fiber to connect SCADA to substations.
The more critical the substation, the more likely fiber will be used, with redundancy provided by either another wire-line approach or some form of wireless technology. This usage pattern is followed by licensed radio (51% currently use this method and 5% more plan to use it by yearend 2015), unlicensed radio (38% currently use this method and 3% more plan to use it by 2015) and leased analog lines (41% currently use this method).
Utility cooperatives tend to use less fiber and more radio; only 48% of coops reported the use of some fiber to connect SCADA to substations. Given the lower customer density per line mile and per substation of coops than either investor-owned utilities or public power utilities, this makes sense. Investor-owned utilities use more of every available communications technology across the board.
In February 2013, Newton-Evans released its findings of international utility telecommunications usage patterns used in conjunction with EMS, SCADA and DMS. Of the international utilities responding to the survey, 91% said they currently use fiber to connect EMS, SCADA and DMS to substations. All 11 European utilities that responded to the survey use fiber, and 17 out of 18 utilities that responded from the Asia-Pacific region use some fiber as well.
In Latin America and the Middle East/Africa regions, microwave communications are used more often than in other parts of the world; 8 out of 12 utilities from Latin America and all four responding Middle East/Africa utilities reported use of microwave communications to connect SCADA with substations. Many of the utilities in these latter regions must span large distances between generation sites and distribution load centers. These findings are very similar to the observations reported in several other recently completed Newton-Evans studies.
Communications Protocol Usage
In late 2012, Newton-Evans Research Co. spoke with the president of the DNP3 user group, H. Lee Smith, concerning the outlook for continued distributed network protocol (DNP) development versus efforts for expanding the use of 61850. It certainly appears the ongoing collaborative efforts within the DNP organization, working with IEEE and the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC), will provide a road map for a translation/mapping capability between these two widely used protocols.
On June 28, 2010, IEEE announced a new collaboratively developed DNP standard that would benefit the worldwide smart grid and process automation industries. IEEE ratified the old DNP3 standard and gave it a new label: IEEE 1815.
When evaluating the outlook for IEC 61850 adoption among North American utilities, it is important to understand the rationale for continuing to rely on and extend the use of DNP3. There are several reasons for this seeming lag between standards available from the IEC and IEEE, and the speed of electric utility adoption in North America.
North American vs. International Utilities
First, the size differential between major utilities in North America and many of the top 100 international utilities is vast, with North American utilities being smaller than many of their international counterparts that serve entire nations or very large regions within a nation. Second, capital and human resource availability are provided, or sought after, on a different basis internationally than in North America. Third, there have been no national or transnational telecommunications policy directives developed that carry as much weight as those in Europe and elsewhere. North American utilities also specify and procure equipment, systems, communications and software differently than is the practiced internationally.
With this as background, repeated studies conducted by Newton-Evans Research have found that, for the most part, North American utilities plan to stay with DNP3 as the protocol of choice for communications between control centers and substations, and down into the distribution network. Nonetheless, 20 of the 25 largest utilities have plans to implement at least a few modules of 61850 from 2013 to 2015.
If an analogy is made that DNP3 is a lovely rose, then it also could be said that IEC 61850 is a floral bouquet, offering an array of communications-centered data-handling services for the increasingly complex substation environment. The only problem with this analogy is most utilities today cannot arrange flowers very well, but those with transmission assets can certainly choose one or more of the components of 61850, such as GOOSE messaging, process bus and even substation configuration language, to their benefit.
Finally, the two charts above compare recent findings among North American and international utilities regarding IEC 61850 use. In the top figure, note the difference in the use of 61850 component modules, indicating limited North American use of available 61850 modules compared to those used internationally. GOOSE messaging capability is, by far, the most popular 61850 component used by North American utilities. In the lower figure, note the stark differences in the extent of 61850 usage patterns in substations as of mid-2012.
|Still in embryonic status, moving to emerging status
|In the developing market phase
|Large utilities investigating, experimenting with at least some modules; many using GOOSE, process bus
|Field deployments underway, with perhaps 350 to 500 substations operating with 61850; the majority will be new construction, with most of these being EHV high-voltage substations
|A few (<100) 61850 substation automation rollouts underway; the majority of new substations being planned for 2011-2013 will include at least some 61850 components/modules
|Mapping of DNP3 into IEC 61850 will enable mid-sized utilities to realize some benefits for distribution automation communications coming into the substation; GOOSE messaging will be widely used among early adapters
|20-plus major utilities now belong to the UCA2 user group (could be viewed as the North American 61850 fan club)
|Use of third-party services from SISCO, Kinectrics, Triangle MicroWorks, Tamarack Consulting, UTInnovation and other specialist consultants expands to additional field engineering, installation and equipment/ communications testing services
|Use of third-party services for education, initial round of consulting, training and support
|DNP 3 will continue to dominate the growing DA communications installations and will continue to be implemented in medium-voltage substations; DNP3 continues to evolve with active user group

It takes courage to re-launch an existing product rather than start from scratch, to announce a refreshed and updated offering as if it were something brand new. That's certainly the case with Synopsys' recent release of TetraMAX II. It took courage to build on a franchise that first arrived on the scene not just in the last century, but in the last millennium.
And it was with this sentiment that Synopsys' Robert Ruiz and I started a recent phone call to discuss the July news that TetraMAX II has arrived on the scene.
Ruiz began: "This is TetraMax II. We wrote the key engines from scratch, an effort that took the R&D team a full two years to complete. The goal was to get 10x faster and 25-percent fewer patterns."

OK for kids 13+
Docu one-sidedly reveres late right-wing media provocateur.
What Parents Need to Know
Parents need to know that Hating Breitbart PG-13 (the original cut, which was rated R for language, was titled simply Hating Breitbart) is actually an homage to the late right-wing activist and new media entrepreneur Andrew Breitbart. The documentary offers an overwhelmingly reverential portrait of the conservative media mogul, who considered it his job to discredit what he considered the liberal mainstream media. It's not an objective film; all but one or two of the people interviewed are friends, family, or admiring colleagues. Where your family stands on the political spectrum will likely determine how much you enjoy this documentary, which portrays Breitbart as a brave, almost heroic figure in American journalism.
Messages: Regardless of your politics, the message that journalism should be about the truth -- or that biases should be clearly noted -- is an important and thought-provoking one. But whether an audience will appreciate this film's additional messages about "citizen journalism," covertly video-taping people, etc. is completely tied to how much you agree with the late, self-described provocateur's opinions.
Role models: Andrew Breitbart is depicted as a brave voice of truth in the otherwise untruthful world of media, but its position may be interpreted in different ways depending on viewers' political leanings.
Violence: Not an issue
Sex: Mentions of prostitution and of an elected official's sexting scandal.
Language: Lots of "f--k"s are bleeped out, but other words aren't: "a--holes," "piss," "bitch," "hateful bastards," "bulls--t."
Consumerism: Apple (MacBook Pro), Starbucks, and various publications are shown or mentioned.
Drinking, drugs and smoking: Breitbart speaks at a couple places where people are drinking (most notably New Orleans and a restaurant with a full bar behind him), and he says that if he hadn't been so drunk throughout college, he would have "joined the left."

Ellen's "Perfect Size for Me" Kitchen
Like this entry? Favorite it below!
- Name:
- Ellen
- Location:
- Seattle, WA
- Square Feet:
- 60
- Division:
- Rent
- What makes your small kitchen so cool:
- My kitchen is the perfect size for me - my little fridge fits perfectly under the big butcher-block counter and holds everything I need for a week or two of meals, and I love the open shelving above the sink and the overall streamlined feel. The best part about this kitchen: It was designed by my wonderful dad! He and my uncle built it from the drywall up in about a week, after which my mom and I did the painting and tiling and created the window treatments and "fridge curtains" from old table runners!
- Describe a challenge you've overcome or a smart resource you've found for your kitchen.:
- The major challenge with a small kitchen like this was where to put the fridge? (Especially without blocking the window that provides much-needed daylight into this basement apartment.) The answer was a mini-sized fridge. My dad and uncle constructed the cabinets around a space just large enough to place a small 3' tall fridge into. I bought the fridge on craigslist for $50.
- What's your favorite meal to cook here?:
- Pie! Rhubarb, specifically, from the garden in the backyard. That's a meal, right? My big butcher-block counter is great for rolling out pie dough - I bet I have the space to do 4 crusts at a time! (I will not be doing this, as I do not have the patience.) Also, even though my oven is small, it's large enough to bake 2 pies at a time. Who needs a big fancy beast of an oven when you can have a little worker-bee oven like mine?
