Pearl Jam Raises $11 Million to Benefit Seattle's Homeless
Pearl Jam has spent much of 2018 encouraging its fans to donate to help fight homelessness in the Seattle area.
The band's efforts culminate this week with two sold-out "Home Shows" at Seattle's Safeco Field.
As of Wednesday night's show, the band had already raised $11 million dollars to hopefully get housing for people in-need in the area, reports Q13 Fox TV. The next show is Friday.
And that $11 million isn't just due to ticket and merchandise sales and fan donations. Reports say 140 local businesses are donating 10 percent or more from sales this week to the homeless problem.
Seattle has the third largest homeless population in the country.
One fan told Q13 that he was homeless when he arrived in Seattle. He said it was emotional seeing how the community rallied around the cause.
The band has long been socially and politically active. It's lone release of new music this year, a song called "Can't Deny Me," refers to the U.S.'s policies on immigration and accepting refugees.
In addition to raising money, Pearl Jam is encouraging fans to volunteer their time to help. Pearl Jam has included a list on its website of charities in need of volunteers.
See the remainder of Pearl Jam's North American tour dates below. Get more information here.

Rizvanovici, Bosnia: Gnashing
For us at ESI, Bosnia is a special place. It is where we started. Over the last few years we have consistently argued that things at grass-root level in Bosnia are far better than the news headlines would have you believe. Look here for example for the report we made with our colleagues at Populari in Sarajevo on Doboj in December 2007. In it we talk about refugee returns and how, for example, in that area segregated education has begun to crumble. And yet, for all its progress, we would never seek to minimise the deep scars inflicted on Bosnia and its people by the war of 1992 to 1995. Like Eating a Stone is a book of reportage by the Polish journalist Wojciech Tochman which was published first as a series of articles and then as a book in Poland in 2003 and finally in English in 2008. In it Tochman travels with and visits survivors from the war, especially women whose men were captured and killed during the war. He also spends time with Ewa Klonowski, a Polish forensic scientist working in the country. "She has dug up some two thousand bodies," writes Tochman. "She has fished them out of wells, recovered them from caves, and dug them out of rubbish dumps or from under piles of pig bones." Most of this short book is arranged as a series of equally short pieces of reportage which can be read and understood by themselves or one can just chose to dip in and out the book. Here is a particularly moving example from the chapter entitled "The Return", which is about Bosniak women who have lost their husbands but who have gone back to the village of Rizvanovici, near Prijedor, now in the Republika Srpska from which they were ethnically cleansed during the summer of 1992. It is simply called "Gnashing".
We are drinking coffee at Halima's house (she is forty-two).
'I have got used to it now', she says. 'I have a wash and get into bed. When I feel cold, I reach for that red blanket. I fall asleep without any difficulty, straight off, worn out by the long day.
'Sometimes he visits me. I don't like those visits. What does he come for? I know he'll be gone very soon. I know that from the beginning. I turn over to face the wall.
'Go away, I say, go back where you came from. I'll wake up in a moment.
'He doesn't listen. He sits here, on the sofa bed, at the foot. He smiles. He doesn't even embrace me. If only he'd explain what happened. Where did he go to that day?
'If only he'd ask about the child.
'I could talk and talk, without stopping. About how I cleared bushes, for example. I ruined my hands that time, and my back.
'Nothing. He is silent, like a stone. He just stares, as if he knows everything. Sometimes I feel angry with him just for leaving me like that.
'Just then our son might come in from the other room (at two or three in the morning?), take another blanket from the armchair and cover me with it.
'I get up with the sun.
'"Same thing again, Mama," says my son. "You were gnashing your teeth in the night again."
"'Was I crunching again? Sorry."
"'As if you were eating a stone."
'I drink some coffee, open a window and look out. The world is still there.'

Stroke research director provides expert commentary for study published in Neurology
Anna Barrett, MD, quoted in press release on magnetic stimulation findings by Italian group
Dr. Barrett, director of stroke rehabilitation research at Kessler Foundation, is an expert in hidden disabilities like spatial neglect. She commented on the significance of new findings by stroke researchers in Rome, who found improvement in patients treated with magnetic stimulation. The press release is provided below:
NEW YORK. Dec. 14, 2011. New York. (Reuters Health, G. Pittman) - Treating stroke patients who have lost control and awareness of one side of their body with magnetic stimulation to the brain may improve their symptoms, researchers said today.
In a new, small study published in the journal Neurology, patients who were given quick bursts of stimulation over a couple of weeks improved by about 20 percent on tests of vision and attention, while those who got a fake stimulation treatment didn't improve significantly.
But researchers said it's still unclear what types of patients might benefit from the treatment and by how much.
About half of people who have a stroke end up with difficulty processing or reacting to things on one side of their body, most often on the left side after a stroke in the right side of the brain, said Dr. Anna Barrett, director of stroke rehabilitation research at the Kessler Foundation in West Orange, New Jersey, who wasn't involved in the new study. That post-stroke condition is known as neglect.
"People that have that tend to do much worse in their eventual recovery," Barrett said. "They're less likely to become completely independent."
Most of those patients can improve with therapy and exercises, she said, but the process is often slow, and keeping people in the hospital during it is costly.
She said that because of that, the new findings are "promising," but added that brain stimulation is still an experimental technique, and not ready to be used as part of normal stroke rehabilitation.
For the study, Italian researchers randomly assigned 20 patients with neglect to get real or fake magnetic stimulation in ten sessions over two weeks, in addition to their conventional rehab program. The treatment involved an electromagnetic coil placed over the left side of the brain that transmitted pulses of electrical currents.
Similar types of stimulation treatment are used in some patients with depression or during spinal surgery, according to Barrett. The device costs about $50,000.
Nine people in each group completed all the treatment sessions.
Before treatment, right after and another two weeks later, stroke patients were given tests to measure their visual-spatial skills, as well as attention and concentration. Those including drawing and shape-copying tests, as well as menu reading and map navigating tasks.
Patients in both groups started out with an average mark of about 170 on the tests, which are scored from 0 to 227 combined.
The "real" magnetic stimulation group improved by about 16 percent right after the treatment and 23 percent at the later time point, while there was no significant benefit seen in patients given the fake stimulation.
The researchers said that it's not clear what the amount of improvement they observed would mean for patients in their daily lives.
But, lead author Dr. Giacomo Koch said, "What we found is that the improvement was more marked in those patients that were more impaired."
Koch, from the Santa Lucia Foundation in Rome, told Reuters Health he thinks those patients with more severe problems would likely see a benefit outside of just test results.
He said that larger studies at multiple treatment sites are needed to determine how helpful magnetic stimulation can be in stroke recovery. But he was optimistic about the treatment's future.
"I think in a few years this could become another tool that could be used systematically in the neurorehabilitation wards," Koch said. He added that the treatment isn't painful, and only takes a few minutes for each session.
Close to 800,000 people in the U.S. suffer a stroke each year, mostly older adults. For those with neglect, doctors typically prescribe cognitive rehabilitation, in which therapists teach skills and help the patient become more aware of the affected side of the body.
Barrett, also from the University of Medicine & Dentistry of New Jersey, said that she wonders whether stimulation could help patients achieve the goals that are most important to regaining independence after a stroke, such as using the bathroom.
It's also not clear if the treatment might help most neglect patients, or if the findings only apply to certain groups, she told Reuters Health.
The ideal option might end up being a combination treatment that involves stimulation in certain patients and other therapies that address a range of skills important for regaining function, Barrett added. But, she said, "That all remains to be investigated."

From one photography collector to another: a venue for thoughtful discussion of vintage and contemporary photography via reviews of recent museum exhibitions, gallery shows, photography auctions, photo books, art fairs and other items of interest to photography collectors large and small.

Auction: Photographs from the Polaroid Collection, June 21 and 22, 2010 @Sotheby's
The whole sordid story, with its corporate buyers, Ponzi schemes, legal wranglings, bankruptcy proceedings, and angry artists has been faithfully investigated and recorded by esteemed critic A.D. Coleman in the past year and a half on his blog, Photocritic International (here). While the rest of the media generally ignored the Polaroid story, Coleman has produced 19 meticulously researched posts covering its many facets, with particular attention paid to tracking down where all the pictures have gone. It's well worth the time to read through the entire series to see how this drama has unfolded over the past months.
Next week, like it or not, a large slice of the collection will go up for sale at Sotheby's in New York. For museums and collectors, it will be a once in a lifetime opportunity to access top quality works that were never intended to find their way to the open market (and while the circumstances are unfortunate, this won't prevent plenty of sharks from circling the bait). For the rest of the photographic community, the previews later this week and weekend will be the last time to see this portion of the collection together in the same place - as such, the previews will rival the best shows of the year in terms of what's on view, particularly if Ansel Adams is one of your favorites. There are over 200 lots of Adams' work up for sale, an astounding compendium of known and unknown works, in all sizes, shapes, and colors. I'm also thoroughly looking forward to seeing the group of manipulated Polaroids contributed by Lucas Samaras.
Overall, there are a total of 482 lots available, many containing multiple prints, with a total High estimate of an eye-popping (at least for photography) $10774200. Without a doubt, this is the photography auction "event" of the year. (Catalog cover at right, via Sotheby's.)
Here's the statistical breakdown:
Total Low Lots (high estimate up to and including $10000): 295
Total Low Estimate (sum of high estimates of Low lots): $1961700
Total Mid Lots (high estimate between $10000 and $50000): 159
Total Mid Estimate: $3902000
Total High Lots (high estimate above $50000): 28
Total High Estimate: $4910500
The top photography lot by High estimate is tied between three lots, all by Ansel Adams: lot 94, Ansel Adams, Moonrise, Hernandez, Mexico, 1941/1950s or 1960s, lot 97, Ansel Adams, Winter Sunrise, Sierra Nevada, From Lone Pine, California, 1944/1950s or 1960s, and lot 100, Ansel Adams, Clearing Winter Storm, Yosemite National Park, 1938/1950s or 1960s, each at $300000-500000.
The following is the list of photographers represented by three or more lots in the sale (with the number of lots in parentheses):
Ansel Adams (204)
William Wegman (49)
Lucas Samaras (15)
David Levinthal (14)
Minor White (14)
Paul Caponigro (12)

Trails are one of our most used recreational amenities. We maintain more than 32 miles of trails for biking and hiking with varied scenery, including wooded areas, open prairies and along lakes and ponds. We encourage you to find a trail using the map below and explore the nature around you.
Kansas City Area Regional Trails and Bikeways Map (includes Lenexa trails)
We are committed to maintaining our current trails and planning strategically for new trails. As part of this commitment, we completed a trails alignment analysis in 2009. This document guides us on how to best integrate future trails in our community.
Lenexa Trails Alignment Analysis
Because many of our trails are in isolated or remote areas, we have placed emergency trail markers along the path to make it easier for emergency responders to find you. We encourage you to bring a cell phone with you when using the trails. If you need emergency assistance, dial 911 and tell the operator the numbers and letters that are posted on the nearest emergency trail marker sign.

Off-Broadway classic produced in Westport
Music Theatre of Connecticut artistic director Kevin Connors chose "The Fantasticks" to close out the 2013-14 season before he knew his company would be moving this fall from Westport to a new home in Norwalk.
Now he is struck by how perfect the show will be as the final attraction in the space MTC has called home for more than 20 years.
"It's all about coming of age and rebirth and relationships," Connors said of the themes in the long-running off-Broadway musical. "What we perceive the world to be and what it really is. It's the right show to close this space because of what it says."
MTC is prized by area theatergoers for its extreme intimacy -- no seat is more than three rows from the playing area -- and that was one of the major selling points of the original production in the tiny Sullivan Street Playhouse in New York's Greenwich Village.
"The Fantasticks" opened in 1960 and ran for 42 years, setting a record it still holds as the longest-running musical of all time. Broadway's venerable "The Phantom of the Opera" will have to run another 16 years to take that title.
"It was really a selfish decision to do it because it's one of my favorite shows ever. I never get tired of it," Connors said.
More InformationMusic Theatre of Connecticut, 246 Post Road East, Westport. Friday, April 11-Sunday, May 4. Fridays 8 p.m.; Saturdays 4, 8 p.m.; Sundays 2 p.m. $45-$25. 203-454-3883, www.musictheatreofct.com.
"The Fantasticks" is about two neighboring fathers who nudge their children to fall in love by pretending to feud with each other, assuming it will have a "Romeo and Juliet"-style result.
Several of the songs by Harvey Schmidt and Tom Jones quickly became standards, including "Try to Remember" and "Soon It's Gonna Rain."
Connors worked on a 2004 production at the Rich Forum in Stamford that used the "blown-up" scenery of a rather lavish national touring show that starred Robert Goulet (playing the narrator role that Jerry Orbach originated in 1960).
"It was a good production, but after seeing it two or three times on Sullivan Street, I always thought it would work even better in this space," the director said of MTC.
Because "The Fantasticks" ran for such a long time in New York City and has been produced by colleges, high schools and community theaters all over the country for the past 50 years, it has a strong nostalgic appeal for many theatergoers.
"I've had people tell me it was the first show they ever saw or that they wore out the original cast album in high school," Connors said.
The director believes that some of the continuing appeal of the show lies in its simplicity -- there is no need for much of a set and the original orchestrations were for one piano. Very little comes between the actors and the audience in "The Fantasticks."
"People love it because all of the characters are so rich and the story it tells is so rich. It's the perfect show for us. I would have felt regretful if we had left this space without doing it," Connors said.

|It makes no sense that the Humans here are stuck in the old west after all this time. They obviously have the capacity to manufacture guns, which means that they have factories, metallurgy, chemistry, and engineers and scientists to make it all work. If so, then there is no reason why their technology shouldn't improve over time. Okay with a small population base maybe they wouldn't have advanced to the point of building Starships or anything, but they certainly should have got well beyond the whole western thing.
Also, where did Archer and Trip get their guns from? Can Enterprise manufacture stuff like this without replicator technology? Or does Reed have an ancient weapon collection like Worf did?
|Great Moment :
|Archer wins another fight, even after being shot! Plus I also liked Reed's "shoot the hostage" solution to T'Pol being captured. Direct, sensible, practical, and it involved shooting people - a perfect Reed plan.
|Body Count :
|One alien hung at the beginning. Several people are – presumably – stunned during the battle, including T'Pol by Reed. Bethany is shot but recovers, Archer got shot in the shoulder but recovers.
|Factoid :
|Archer was born in upstate New York.

Karim Yaghmour
CEO Opersys: Embedded Android and Embedded Linux. Author, speaker, instructor, entrepreneur, and, above all, father.
Sherbrooke, Quebec
Areas of Expertise:
Karim J. Yaghmour is part serial entrepreneur part unrepentant geek. He is the CEO of Opersys Inc., a company providing development and training services on Embedded Android and Embedded Linux, and is most widely known for having authored O'Reilly's Building Embedded Linux Systems — which sold tens of thousands of copies worldwide and has been translated into several different languages.
Karim pioneered the world of Linux tracing by introducing the Linux Trace Toolkit (LTT) in the late '90s. He continued maintaining LTT through 2005 and was joined in this effort by developers from several companies, including IBM, HP, and Intel. LTT users have included: Google, IBM, HP, Oracle, Alcatel, Nortel, Ericsson, Qualcomm, NASA, Boeing, Airbus, Sony, Samsung, NEC, Fujitsu, SGI, RedHat, Thales, Oerlikon, Bull, Motorola, ARM, ST Micro. Other contributions include relayfs and Adeos.
Karim has presented and published as part of a number of peer-reviewed scientific and industry conferences, magazines and online publications, including Usenix, the Linux Kernel Summit, the Embedded Linux Conference, the Android Builders Summit, AnDevCon, the Embedded Systems Conference, the Ottawa Linux Symposium, LinuxJournal, the O'Reilly Network and the Real-Time Linux Workshop.
"Definitely one of the most valuable and complete resource about the Android system stack. A must-have for every Android system engineer."
"So you thought you knew about Android internals ? Well...think again! Chapter after chapter, you'll discover what's behind the scene and why Android is anything but yet another embedded Linux distribution. Get yourself ready for stepping into 'cause Embedded Android is a goldmine for anyone looking for serious hacking on Google's OS."
"Embedded Android has been a great resource for our company. It is a must-have when porting Android to new hardware or integrating new features at a low level. Karim is a great instructor and his writing captures his style well."
"Although Android is officially designed for mobile and tablet segments, it's unquestionably getting considered for many other product segments like automotive, UI panels like HMI, wearable gadgets, and so on. This book is highly recommended as it covers all the essential fundamentals and concepts that help developers port and develop Android based solutions for both mobile and non mobile product segments."
"A great resources not only for embedded Android developers but also for Android App developers to learn the wiring below the Java surface."
"When I was handed a development board running Linux, and was told to "get Android running on it", it was difficult to find much information about how to bring Android up on a new device. Luckily for me "Embedded Android" became available about the same time that I was beginning development. What a lifesaver! Embedded Android gave me the kick-start I needed to understand the underpinnings of Android and what I would need to do to bring Android up on a new piece of hardware. I loved all the details and background from the boot sequence to the build system. After having read Embedded Android I felt I had a much better grasp of Android and how it interacted with the Linux kernel."
"If you or your team works on creating custom Android images, devices or ROM mods, you want this book! Other than the source code itself this is the only place where you'll find an explanation of how Android works, how the Android build system works and an overall view of how Android is put together. I especially like the chapters on the build system and frameworks (4, 6 and 7) where there are many nuggets of hard to reverse engineer information from the AOSP source. This book will save you and your team a lot of time. I wish we had it back when our teams where starting on the Frozen Yoghurt version of Android 2 years ago. This book is likely to become required reading for new team members working on Intel Android stacks for the Intel reference phones."
"For the first time embedded system developers have access to an open and vertically integrated stack that contains everything they need to build robust and performance Linux based products. Android's revolutionary execution model transcends phones and tablets and its application developer platform is unmatched in the industry for features and development speed. This book will allow developers a valuable resource for understanding everything between applications and the kernel and how to extend and change things to create an infinite variety of Androids."
"This book offers practical in depth guidance for developing embedded Linux systems...After reading the book, anyone involved with an embedded Linux system project will be better able to fully appreciate the strengths and weaknesses of Linux functionality and participate in development discussions about the system."

Mounting the Shotgun
When you "mount the shotgun" you place it to your shoulder. To do this, first place the stock against your cheek, then put it against your shoulder. This ensures that the firearm is in exactly the same position each time you shoot. Do not raise the firearm to the shoulder first and then drop your head to rest your cheek against the stock. You will likely miss the target.

November 22, 2011
In 1992, Congress allocated $2 million for a National Institutes of Health (NIH) Office of Alternative Medicine. Seven years later, in 1999, the Office of Alternative Medicine evolved into a fully independent NIH center called the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine (NCCAM). Since 2000, NCCAM has been awarded $2 billion for research, and currently has an annual budget of $134 million.
Yet nearly twenty years of study have shown that most alternative medicine "cures" work no better than placebos, and that NCCAM should be defunded or abolished, according to the authors of an upcoming report in the magazine Skeptical Inquirer. In Culling Non-Science From Scarce Medical Resources, Eugenie V. Mielczarek and Brian Engler examine all NCCAM research between 2000 and 2011, and find no discoveries that justify spending taxpayer dollars to maintain its existence.
A downloadable preview version of Culling Non-Science From Scarce Medical Resources is available here.
The full report will appear in the January/February issue of Skeptical Inquirer, which is published by the Committee for Skeptical Inquiry, an affiliate of the Center for Inquiry.
Culling Non-Science From Scarce Medical Resources was authored by Eugenie V. Mielczarek, emeritus professor of physics at George Mason University in Fairfax, VA. Her 40 years of research is in the area of materials science and biological physics. Mielczarek was assisted by Brian Engler, a retired U. S. Navy Commander. His fields of study include operations research and business administration.
The report builds on a 2009 paper that Mielczarek lead authored for the Center for Inquiry, A Fracture in our Health Care: Paying for Non-Evidence Based Medicine. You can read more about that report here.

Juniper tops off Ethernet switches
Wee one on the way
On Tuesday, Juniper Networks rolled out the final - and biggest - hunk o'hardware in the line of Ethernet switches they announced back in January of 2008.
"It's the end of the beginning," said Chris Spain, the company's VP of product management and technical marketing for its Ethernet Platforms Business Group. Spain - who referred to the EX 8216 as "one of my children" - told The Reg that Juniper now offers a line of switches that can serve market segments "from the smaller facility to the data center."
The new EX 8216 is aimed squarely at the high end of the market. This half-rack big brother of the company's EX 8208, which shipped in March, doubles the number of modular slots in the EX 8208 from 8 to 16 with an increase in physical size of only 50 per cent.
Although the EX 8216's power requirements are a hefty 9.6 kilowatts, Spain was quick to point out that if you spread that power consumption over the switch's two billion packets per second (pps) capability, it works out to only five watts per million pps.
The EX 8216 accepts three different line cards into its 16 slots: one with eight 10-gigabit SFP+ ports, another with 48 10/100/1000 Gigabit Ethernet RJ-45 ports, and a third with 48 1-gigabit SFP ports. As with all of Juniper's lines of gateways, routers and switches, the EX 8216 runs the company's Junos network operating system, currently at version 9.5.
In a non-redundant config, an EX 8216 will run you $76,000 (£50,232). The cost of a redundant set-up comes to around $100,000 (£66,095).
If that's a bit rich for your CapEx budget, you can step down to one of Juniper's smaller switches, such as those in the EX 3200 and EX 4200 series, which were also announced last January and which are currently shipping.
Or you could wait until the first quarter of next year, when you'll be able to pick up an EX 2200, which was announced just last week. At $2,400 (£1,586), you'll be able to buy around forty EX 2200's for the price of one fully redundant EX 8216. ®

About The Living Institute
The Living Institute is a teaching centre committed to exploring humanistic, psychodynamic, existential and mythological themes in individual, cultural and cosmological evolution. The basis for this work is the Holistic Experiential Process Method (HEP). HEP is a model for understanding systemic management and growth that is both social and personal, providing a method for facilitating the evolutionary emergence of self-organizing complexity from apparently chaotic disorder.
The Living Institute recognizes the importance of spiritual and human values in institutional and organizational functions that serve society and culture, based on the interdependence of humans with each other and the natural world.
The Living Institute is also participating in the current re-emergence of spiritual models that draw on ancient cosmologies, from both eastern and western mystical traditions, where nature is seen to embody patterns of integration that link the part with the whole, so that everything is understood to be interconnected.
What makes the Living Institute exceptional is the depth and breadth of our faculty. They are leaders and innovators in their fields.

The UCI recently announced that the track program for the 2012 Olympics would be drastically changed (December 10th), with some traditional events (such as the Individual Pursuit and Points Race) dropped and a new Omnium event added. Men and women would now have the same number of events (five). the UCI has now announced the format of the Omnium, and it will be a gruelling one. Below are the details of the new Olympic Omnium:
The UCI Track Commission has redefined the format of the omnium. The objective is to make this event more attractive to the public and to place more emphasis on endurance compared with the format used at the last three World Championships.
On this basis, the UCI can now announce the details of the omnium format to be used at the next Olympic Games:
• Flying lap (250-metre time trial)
• Points race (men: 30 km, women: 20 km)
• Individual pursuit (men: 4000m, women: 3000m)
• Scratch race (men: 15 km, women: 10 km)
• Kilometre time trial (men), 500-metre time trial (women)
• Elimination race (24 starters)
The flying lap is not completely new, as a flying 200 metres is traditionally used for qualification in the individual sprint. However, the distance of 250 metres is an innovation.
The points race will be run over the same distance as at World Cups.
The individual pursuit, one of the iconic endurance specialities, will also maintain its traditional distances.
The scratch race, a new addition to the Olympic scene as part of the omnium, will be run over longer distances than previously, equivalent to traditional scratch race distances.
The kilometre (standing start) is the only event that is not traditionally held during Six-Day races for endurance riders. Because of this, it will be a decisive component of the omnium.
Finally, 24 riders will compete in an elimination race. Every two laps, the last rider over the finish line will be eliminated.
The omnium, after the World Championships in Copenhagen (24-28 March 2010), will thus be made up of the four endurance and two sprint events described. It will be held over two days in a sequence to be defined.
The omnium is one of the five events of the Olympic track cycling programme together with the individual sprint, team sprint, keirin and team pursuit. An equal number of medals will be awarded to men and women in track cycling at the London 2012 Olympic Games.

Business of Metalforming
Entrepreneurial Economy: Change the Rules
Having made it through the fray, now may be the best time to redefine your stamping offerings or overhaul your entire approach to the business. Historically, post recessionary economies represent some of the best times to start new business ventures. Encouraging entrepreneurial thinking within your workforce can be a catalyst to new opportunities. Taking a fresh perspective by questioning everything you do, why you do it and how it came to be may create some uncomfortable conversations with individuals who tend to be averse to change, but the payoff exceeds a few bruised egos.
To really dig deep takes an unwavering commitment by management. Your company also may benefit from an outside perspective that isn't restricted by political or emotional equity—someone who isn't concerned with tipping the sacred cows. Recognizing and embracing alternative strategies can be a challenge that may simply escape longtime executives and employees who may have had little opportunity for exposure to other approaches—you don't know what you don't know.
A recent conversation with a retired stamping executive highlighted the importance of making the hard choices, challenging the status quo and reaping the rewards of changing the rules governing the we do business.
Frank Maday has a long history in stamping, having served his tool and die apprenticeship at Chrysler, then becoming a tool and die manager at VW, tooling and QC manager at Budd, tooling manager for Ford Walton Hills and then, where our story begins, as VP of engineering at Mayflower Vehicle Systems' U.S. operations. The few years leading up to 2000 were taxing on Mayflower's European operations, specifically its vast operation in Gaggenau, Germany. In early 2000, Maday was named managing director for the division, where he immediately began dissecting the multiple-plant campus' $65-million business to better understand how it was losing nearly $8-million annually.
As a Tier One automotive supplier, Mayflower produced stampings and finished assemblies for European automakers, including catalytic converters and exhaust systems. To understand the cost structure, Maday implemented detailed value mapping exercises to break down material, labor and general overhead costs on a per-job basis. This quickly uncovered a number of jobs that were generating losses with each part shipped. After assembling the details, Maday led efforts to approach customers in an attempt to justify piece-price increases. In those cases where the customer refused, Mayflower tactfully gave back the nonprofitable work. This helped, but it did not solve the basic problem of having too little opportunity and too many competitors driving prices down.
In a game-changing move, Maday shifted Mayflower's basic focus of being a Tier One supplier to becoming a Tier Two supplier. This had the immediate effect of growing its customer base from around six to more than 30—effectively converting competitors into prospective customers. Further, it placed Mayflower at the top of the Tier Two competitive food chain. Its experience as a Tier One supplier better prepared the company in terms of equipment, capabilities and processes. Its overall capability surpassed that of the other Tier Two suppliers it was now competing against. It also changed the nature of how it conducted business.
The company was able to shutter unnecessary and consistently unprofitable engineering centers, and to thin bloated middle management by creating self-directed teams—all told, a reduction in headcount by 20 percent. By concentrating on the elimination of all nonvalue-added elements, improving work flow and methods and refocusing their business into a Tier Two operation, the company quickly ended its losing streak. Within 18 months it recognized profits of $4 million on sales of $60 million.
Encouraging entrepreneurial thinking and sparking some bureaucratic controversy can be productive. Consider the following;
• In business there are no sacred cows; challenge everything. Assume nothing and ask "Why?" "Why not?" "What if?" etc., then listen. Questioning enables you to break the status quo and consider new possibilities.
• Look outside, benchmark, learn from others and find fresh perspectives.
• Keep your people on their toes, drive out complacency and reward innovation.
• Understand the origins of your business processes and challenge their current validity. What worked in the past may hold no value today; again, challenge everything.
• Kindly pass along to unwitting competitors your customers who cost more than the value they bring. Let your competitors become the charitable organizations of your industry.
• It's easy to grasp expressed needs, try to recognize the market's latent needs.
• Take a page from Maday's playbook and flip the playing field.As you embark on the post recessionary economy of 2010 recognize that you're in the position, possibly the best of your career, to recast your business into something stellar. Don't let this moment pass. Identify and take advantage of this opportunity, invent, redefine and break free from the things that constrain you. MF

Man critical after Westside crash
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – A Jacksonville man is in critical condition after crashing his car Friday night on the Westside.
It happened around 8:30 p.m. on Normandy Boulevard near Country Club Boulevard.
According to the FHP report, Michael T. Hackett, 44, was driving a white Buick west on Normandy. For unknown reasons, Hackett veered left and hit the median. This caused the Buick to roll over, ejecting Hackett.
Hackett was transported to Shands Jacksonville Medical Center with critical injuries.
Troopers said Hackett was not wearing a seat beat and alcohol was not a factor in the crash.

Twilight Set Day Two: St. Helen's
Unlike the day before, my second day on the set of Twilight was gorgeous- bright blue skies, a light breeze, and a very welcoming and maneuverable setup situated around the town
When I arrived around noon they were filming the dress shopping scene with Jessica and Angela. Of course the weather once again wasn't working for them; while it was gorgeous, it was supposed to be a rainy day in
The next scene was shot down the street- the infamous restaurant scene where Edward spills some of his secrets while Bella forces down mushroom ravioli (again, I felt such sympathy for Kristen Stewart… I have no idea how much ravioli she had to eat, but I'm sure it was more than she wished for!). Setting up the scene took quite some time as it was still daylight but they wanted to give the appearance of evening. All of the windows were covered in black cloth, white Christmas lights were strung over the trellis and the surrounding trees, and a big wooden toad sat on a stump next to the sign proclaiming the restaurant as "The Bloated Toad." So it was no Bella Italia as it was in the book, I'm not sure why the change to "The Bloated Toad," but it still looked just as I thought it should. One of the set dressers said they just found the carved, wooden toad on their travels and thought it was great and had to use it. I guess that's as good of a reason as any to name your fictitious restaurant after an ill amphibian!
Once again I stayed on the periphery at first and tried to observe, but stay out of the way. The nice thing was that there always seemed to be a few people doing just what I was doing, and it was pleasant and easy to start a conversation with them. A woman standing next to me asked how I was involved, I told her my story of my studies and how they were nice enough to have me on set for a few days, and she told me that she was Catherine Hardwicke's sister, Irene, and that she, her husband Lance and her mother Jamie were all on set that day watching Catherine work (Catherine is the director- IMDB her, she's amazing). They were absolutely lovely. They are funny, friendly, they enjoyed every aspect of the experience as I did, and after about forty five minutes I felt like I was with my own family. We took some pictures, wandered the town a bit, and then headed to the catering tent for lunch. While enjoying our gourmet meal and chatting about the striking good looks of Rob Pattinson at the next table, Catherine herself came over to chat with the family. Irene introduced me to her with great gusto and Catherine was so gracious and enthusiastic. I definitely got the feeling that she is the kind of creative artist who can see the whole picture of everything around her but is able to focus intently and specifically whenever it is required. She asked me a few questions, and then summed up her thoughts about the adaptation of Twilight. She said that in one way, the film takes you further than the book does. She said "we can take you up in the trees and actually show you all of that crazy beautiful stuff. It takes you on a ride." Like Wyck told me yesterday, she emphasized that this was a very contained book, as most of it was internal, in Bella's mind. "With The Lord of the Rings you have this huge kingdom at your disposal. Forks isn't naturally like that, so we expanded all of the action to bring it out, to make it more visual." She added a few scenes and tweaked existing ones to make it more visual and have this 2D media translate to the screen, but all while focusing on the story and never straying far from the original work.
After this unexpected but extremely welcome interview, Catherine and Irene went on a hunt for the perfect mini-lamp to light Bella and Edward's dinner table. After procuring said lamp and spray painting the bulb to the correct level of dimness, the scene was nearly ready to begin filming. I made my way to 'video village' which is a bank of monitors with director's chairs set up to watch the filming that was going on inside. Ironically, the actors don't really use the chairs, so I sat in Rob Pattinson's chair for most of the day. The producers handed me a set of cans (headphones) so I could hear the dialogue and then I don't think I picked my head up for about three hours. I'm afraid I can't share the dialogue of the scene, but I can say that it was beautiful, their tones and intentions were spot on, Bella's incredulous expressions were perfect and Edward's eyes smoldered as they should. And the perfect mini-lamp looked perfect.
I'm a big fan of video village. It's certainly exciting to watch the scene filmed live, but I also greatly enjoyed watching the scene as it would look on the screen. How the camera is angled, how it catches their eyes, and how people and props are strategically placed to frame the shot exactly as they want it framed. The cans were also great because not only could I hear the dialogue, but also the chatter between takes. The talk between Rob and Kristen, the comments by Catherine or Jamie Marshall (assistant director and co-producer), and the instruction, thought, and intent put into each shot before action was called. At one point Rob said, "I felt like I was falling apart during that take…" and Catherine told him, "Then go with it. Fall apart. Fall into her. You are falling so into her, just use that." And of course the following take was flawless.
Irene, Lance and Jamie joined me in video village for awhile, as well as Gillian Bohrer, the creative executive from Summit Entertainment- the studio behind Twilight. Gillian, like Greg and Wyck, was another fountain of friendly and helpful information. She was eager to share her story, her thoughts on the adaptation and the details of Twilight's journey from page to screen. I asked all three of them (Wyck, Greg and Gillian) if they ever re-read sections of the book before filming to refresh the scene in their mind and they agreed that like a good student, they try always to keep re-reading; not just to read for the test, but know the material and have it be fresh in their minds all of the time. It isn't feasible for them to reread all of the time as they have dailies to watch, scripts to go over for the following days filming, and paperwork to complete every night, but they also said that at this point, the script has gone through so much work, and Stephenie Meyer has approved every line of it, that when the time rolls around for filming they can work off of the script alone and know that it still reflects the original work.
After another hour or two in video village, I realized, however, that this group of people really didn't need to keep re-reading the book to keep it fresh in their minds. They were able to rattle off whole passages from memory, they could complete entire character conversations between them, and the one time there was a discrepancy over an aspect of the book (we got into a debate about the waitress's hairstyle) the book came out and we found the tell-tale paragraph. Every aspect of this gave me a sense of their commitment to the film. In a video interview recently (I think it was the mtv.com video) Rachel Lefevre, who plays
I'm rambling now… so that scene was brilliant. I got some great information, I felt productive and incredibly inspired by the work happening there. They finished the inside shots of Bella and Edward at dinner, and then they moved outside to film the scene where Bella and Edward come to the restaurant just as Jessica and Angela were finishing and Edward offers to get Bella dinner. It was nice to be outside and moving around (it was frigid, so movement and hot tea were very welcome). While I was outside I met some of the Twilight Moms, another Twilight fan site. They were also a friendly bunch and enthusiastic about all that they had seen that day and eager to hear what I had seen too. Also on the sidewalk was probably half the town's population of
We passed midnight while gathered around the propane heater (thank god for the propane heater, I think it's the only reason I still have ten toes) and got the call sheet for the final day of shooting in
Check out all of the pictures here.
I beamed the whole way home, and was eager for the next adventure: an all-night shoot in

Thank you Slartarama I will bookmark these pages and try tomorrow, as I've just got back from watching Blyth Spartans play Blackburn and have to be up at 4.45 am for work and I've been here before ended up not even getting to bed thanks to starting something that looked simple and ended up getting personal between me and the equipment involved.
The strange thing is, it used to work better than it does now! I'm sure I had two way networking at the beginning and I definitely know the laptop was picked up by the mac's wireless connection. Could I be causing problem having both the ethernet and wireless networking active on the mac?
Another thing I could try is boot into the other OS, Windows XP and see if that works both ways - in fact I don't know why I haven't done that before
Many thanks for your continued help and I'll let you know how I get on tomorrow night.
