Plan for using compatibility mode in Office 2010
Applies to: Office 2010
Topic Last Modified: 2011-08-05
Although standardizing on the Microsoft Open XML file format is the best way to minimize compatibility issues, this goal can be difficult to achieve for organizations that plan to deploy Microsoft Office 2010 over a period of months or years. Even after the migration is complete, users might continue to collaborate with partners, customers, and other organizations that use earlier versions of Office. To help users maintain productivity during all phases of an Office 2010 migration, you can let users continue to work in the 97-2003 binary file format (*.doc, *.xls, and *.ppt) and use the compatibility features that are included with Microsoft Excel 2010, Microsoft PowerPoint 2010, and Microsoft Word 2010.

Overview of Office document compatibility in Office 2010
When planning a migration to Office 2010, you face the challenge of not only determining which versions of Office documents are being used in your organization, but also assessing how those documents will function when users open and save them by using different versions of Office. Your task can be even more challenging if you are performing this assessment for millions of documents of varying complexity, age, and history.
Nevertheless, in the middle of planning an Office migration, it is easy to forget that converting Office 2003 and earlier binary files to the Open XML format is not a strict requirement of Office 2010 migration. Organizations that do not have a strong business requirement to convert binary files to the Open XML format can skip the bulk conversion process completely. They can let users edit binary files in compatibility mode, which is enabled automatically when a user opens a binary file in Excel 2010, PowerPoint 2010, or Word 2010. Compatibility mode disables certain features that are exclusive to these applications in Office 2010 so that the binary files remain compatible with previous versions of Office.
The disadvantage of using compatibility mode is that Office 2010 users cannot use the full feature set of Office 2010. Users who need full Office 2010 functionality can create new Office documents in Open XML format, or convert existing binary files to Open XML while they edit them. To edit Open XML files after the files are created or converted to the Open XML format, users of Office 2003 or earlier versions of Office must have the Compatibility Pack installed. More details about the Compatibility Pack are provided in Preparing Office 2010 users for using compatibility features, later in this article.
Is using compatibility mode right for your organization?
Reviewing a simple list of document management characteristics can help you decide whether using compatibility features in Office 2010 is sufficient for your organization. For example, if your organization does not use extensive document management policies or systems, you may not have to spend time identifying Office documents to convert and you may not need to perform a conversion. You might also find that business groups in your organization have different requirements, some of which can only be met by conversion, and other requirements that can be satisfied by using the compatibility features.
The following considerations will help you decide whether to pursue compatibility, conversion, or both.
Compatibility is the better strategy if your organization or business group:
Relies on end-users to troubleshoot issues with their own Office documents.
Does not have business justification for converting binary files to Open XML format.
Is not adversely affected by feature differences that occur when compatibility mode is used.
Conversion is the better strategy if your organization or business group:
Uses document management products and understands the location and kind of Office documents that are managed by those products.
Manages documents by using retention, compliance, information rights management, or auditing policies.
Needs conversion to Open XML format as a business justification for migrating to Office 2010.
Supports Office documents through a Help Desk or IT department.
The instructions in the remainder of this article will help you prepare to work in compatibility mode. However, if your organization chooses conversion as its strategy, you can conduct the assessment and conversion of binary Office files by using the Office 2010 Migration Planning Manager (OMPM), which is available on the Microsoft Download Center. For more information, see Plan for document conversion in Office 2010 and Office Migration Planning Manager overview for Office 2010
If you need guidance on assessing the compatibility of Office add-ins and applications, see Office 2010 application compatibility guide.
Preparing Office 2010 users for using compatibility features
As part of your overall Office 2010 training plan, you should provide guidance to users on how to use compatibility mode. Topics to cover include the features that are disabled in compatibility mode, the visual clues that indicate that compatibility mode is being used, and, if using Open XML is supported by their business group, how to exit compatibility mode by converting files to Open XML format.
The following table provides links to information that you can use to prepare users for working in compatibility mode.
|Excel 2010
|PowerPoint 2010
|Word 2010
Enabling compatibility mode
Work in compatibility mode in Excel 2010 (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=196420)
Features are lost when you open a presentation created in an earlier version of PowerPoint(http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkID=207536&clcid=0x409)
Use Word 2010 to open documents created in earlier versions of Word (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=196421)
Create a document to be used by previous versions of Word (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=196422)

Convert a PowerPoint presentation from a previous version to PowerPoint 2010 (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=196424)
Convert a document to the Word 2010 mode (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=196425)
Office 2010 users who create or edit files in the Open XML format can convert the files to binary format by using the Save As command and selecting the appropriate 97-2003 format ( .doc, .ppt, or .xls). Compatibility Checker will alert the users to any content in the file that is not supported by earlier versions of the application. If you expect this to be a common scenario, you can also provide guidance on how to use Compatibility Checker. See the articles listed in the following table:
|Excel 2010
|PowerPoint 2010
|Word 2010
Running Compatibility checker
Check an Excel 2010 workbook for compatibility with earlier versions of Excel (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkID=196429)

Compatibility Checker (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=196431)
Compatibility changes between versions (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=196432)
If your Office 2010 users will be creating new files in the Open XML format, you must deploy the Compatibility Pack to users who will use Microsoft Office 2000, Office XP, or Office 2003 to edit files. The Compatibility Pack is not required for the 2007 Office system with Service Pack 2 (SP2) or later versions. To download the Compatibility Pack, visit the Microsoft Download Center (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkID=191166).
For links to additional reference topics about compatibility features, see Document compatibility reference for Excel 2010, PowerPoint 2010, and Word 2010.
Changing default file formats and other settings for Office 2010 documents
By using the Office Customization Tool (OCT) and Group Policy, you can configure Office to save new Office documents in binary (97-2003) format instead of Open XML, the default file format. Changing the default file format is useful if you have business reasons that require users to continue to create new files in binary format. In addition to settings for default file format, there are also settings to configure how Word 2010 saves Open XML files to make them compatible with Word 2007 and Word 2003.
The following table describes the location of some file format options in the Group Policy Administrative Template files (ADM, ADMX, ADML) and the OCT for Office 2010. You can find a full list of settings related to file formats in Group Policy and Office Customization Tool settings in Office 2010 for OpenDocument and Office Open XML formats.

The following sections provide more details about these settings.
Default file format
Although we recommend leaving the default set to Open XML, you can change the default to binary format if there are business reasons that require users to continue to work in binary files. For example, if you are performing a phased migration of Office 2010 and have not yet deployed the Compatibility Pack, you will want Office 2010 users to continue to create and work in binary files so that users of Office 2003 or earlier can edit the files. When your deployment is complete, we recommend changing back to the default so that all newly created files use the Open XML format.
Set default compatibility mode on file creation (Word 2010 only)
This policy setting lets you specify the versions of Word (2003, 2007, or 2010) that you want new Word documents in Open XML format to be compatible with. Three configurations options are available for this setting:
Word 2003: This mode disables features in Word that are incompatible with Word 2003.
Word 2007: This mode disables features in Word that are incompatible with Word 2007.
Full functionality mode: This mode ensures that all new features remain enabled. This is the default setting for Word.
Selecting the Word 2003 option configures Word to create new Open XML files that have Word 2007 and Word 2010 features disabled. Doing so ensures that the Open XML files do not contain content that Word 2003 users cannot edit. However, users of Office 2003 and earlier must still have the Compatibility Pack installed before they can edit Word Open XML files that are compatible with Word 2003.
If you select Full functionality mode, there is no effect on the Word 2007 users. Word 2007 can open and edit Word 2010 documents. The only difference is that new features in Word 2010 are not available in Word 2007.
Save As Open XML in compatibility mode (Word 2010 only)
When a user uses the Save As command to convert a binary file to the Open XML format, the user has the option of selecting the Maintain compatibility with previous versions of Word check box. When users select this check box, the newly converted document is compatible with Word 2007. Features that are exclusive to Word 2010 are disabled. The user then edits the document in Word 2007 compatibility mode.
When you enable this policy, the Maintain compatibility with previous versions of Word check box is selected and hidden, and Word 2010 will always save the file so that it is compatible with Word 2007.
Planning security settings for binary files that are opened in Office 2010
Office binary files are susceptible to file format attacks that exploit the integrity of a file. These attacks occur when someone who intends to add malicious code modifies the structure of a file. The malicious code is run remotely and is used to elevate the privilege of restricted accounts on the computer. As a result, attackers could gain access to a computer that they did not previously have access to. This could enable an attacker to read sensitive information from the computer's hard disk drive or to install malware, such as a worm or a key logging program.
Office 2010 includes new features to make viewing and editing binary files safer. Each of these features has settings that you should consider as part of your deployment planning. The following sections provide brief descriptions of these features, their planning considerations, and links to more information.
Office File Validation
Office File Validation is a new security feature in Office 2010 that helps prevent file format attacks by scanning Office binary file formats before they are opened in Word 2010, Excel 2010, or PowerPoint 2010. To validate files, Office File Validation compares a file's structure to a predefined file schema, which is a set of rules that determine what a readable file looks like. If Office File Validation detects that a file's structure does not follow all rules described in the schema, the file does not pass validation.
Any files that fail validation are opened in Protected View. Users can decide to enable editing for files that fail validation but are opened in Protected View. Users are also prompted to send Office File Validation information to Microsoft. Information is collected only for files that fail validation.
Office 2010 provides several settings that let you configure how the Office File Validation feature behaves. These settings let you do the following:
Disable Office File Validation.
Specify Office file behavior when a file fails validation.
Prevent Office 2010 from sending Office File Validation information to Microsoft.
Although we recommend that you do not change the default settings for Office File Validation, your organization might have to configure Office File Validation settings to suit special security requirements. For more information, see Plan Office File Validation settings for Office 2010.
Office Protected View
Protected View is a new security feature in Office 2010 that helps mitigate exploits to users' computers by opening files in a restricted environment so they can be examined before they are opened for editing in Word 2010, Excel 2010, and PowerPoint 2010. When a file is opened in Protected View, users can view the file content but they cannot edit, save, or print the file content. Active file content, such as ActiveX controls, add-ins, database connections, hyperlinks, and Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) macros, is not enabled. Users can copy content from the file and paste it into another file. In addition, Protected View prevents users from viewing the details of digital signatures that are used to sign a document, presentation, or workbook.
By default, Protected View is enabled in Excel 2010, PowerPoint 2010, and Word 2010. However, files open in Protected View only under certain conditions. In some cases, files bypass Protected View and are opened for editing. For example, files that are opened from trusted locations and files that are trusted documents bypass several security checks and are not opened in Protected View.
We recommend that you do not change the default behavior of Protected View. Protected View is an important part of the layered defense strategy in Office 2010. It works with other security features such as Office File Validation and File Block. However, we recognize that your organization might have to change Protected View settings to suit special security requirements. To that end, Office 2010 provides several settings that let you configure how the Protected View feature behaves. You can use these settings to do the following:
Prevent files that are downloaded from the Internet from opening in Protected View.
Prevent files that are stored in unsafe locations from opening in Protected View.
Prevent attachments opened in Microsoft Outlook 2010 from opening in Protected View.
Add locations to the list of unsafe locations.
For more information about how to configure Protected View, see Plan Protected View settings for Office 2010.

The plugin uses multimedia sharing tech from Dyyno to allow viewers to switch between four different character POVs - Druid, Hunter, Warrior and Warlock. This is the second such broadcast via Xfire — this event is expected to take up to four hours from start to finish. Numb bums all round, then, and this definitely qualifies as niche viewing.

I am just done with my spring cleaning and finally sorted my kitchen cabinets. Pheww. My kitchen cabinet's been overflowing, with all the stuffs jumbled up in spite of cleaning them every couple of months. Things being lost deep in the cabinets and myself trying to fish them out standing on a chair and often knocking the jars off the shelf has been happening regularly since the past few weeks. So I had to do organize it and I planned to do it big. It took me several hours for 2-3 days to sort them out, but finally it is done. There were many unused and sparingly used spice jars and that left me wondering if there is any spice that I don't really own! I never even used some of them.
While cleaning the cabinets, I also found out these pack of hazelnut hiding in a corner. I went ahead and baked some great biscottis a while ago and with the leftover ones, I could not think of baking anything but macarons. Hazelnut macarons tasted very different from the regular almond ones and had a great hazelnut flavour which would pair well with nutella. It was delicious, came out perfectly baked and looked great.
I felt honoured when Ambika asked me to do a guest post and these macarons were the first that came to mind. To see more of the post, recipe and pictures, please hop over to Ambika's Kitchen. She's got a great space there

U.S. Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission
Three Lawsuits Filed in Pacific Northwest This Week As Part of Ongoing Effort, One Involved Male on Male Harassment
WASHINGTON-The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) filed three lawsuits this week alleging sexual harassment and abuse of farmworkers-a group which is particularly vulnerable due to isolated working conditions and lack of familiarity with the protections of the law. The lawsuits are part of an ongoing effort to protect workers in agricultural industries.
In the lawsuit filed against Roy Farms in U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Washington, EEOC alleged that a male supervisor barraged male workers with sexual and threatening comments, touched them in a sexual manner and insisted they watch him urinate. When a worker complained, nothing was done to ameliorate the situation, and the worker felt he had to quit because he feared for his physical safety.
A supervisor for the self-proclaimed largest onion grower in the United States, River Point Farms of Hermiston, Ore., not only made sexual comments and requests for sexual favors to a seasonal farmworker, he also encouraged her husband to engage in domestic abuse, culminating in his publically encouraging the woman's husband to kill her, the EEOC's lawsuit claimed. After her husband did try to kill her, the supervisor blamed her for causing her husband's arrest and fired her, the complaint filed in the District Court of Oregon alleged.
National Food Corporation, a major supplier of eggs to the Pacific Northwest and Midwest United States as well as East Asia, permitted a supervisor at its egg farm in Lind, Wash., to demand sex from a female employee as a condition of keeping her job, the Commission alleged in its lawsuit filed in the Eastern District of Washington. The victim worked alone in an isolated barn where the harasser was the only management person on site.
"Unfortunately, we continue to see cases involving employees who suffer sexual exploitation at the hands of their bosses," said EEOC General Counsel David Lopez. "All workers are entitled to a workplace that is free of harassment and discrimination, and employers should think twice before assuming that vulnerable workers will not exercise their rights due to fear or the lack of understanding."
These three recent cases, all filed by the EEOC's San Francisco District Office and Seattle Field Office, join three earlier cases that were settled in the past six months also involving the sexual harassment of farmworkers: Mid Valley Labor Services ($150,000 relief for female grape vineyard workers in Northern California); DiMare Ruskin (nationwide consent decree to prevent sexual harassment at its tomato farms stemming from lawsuit filed in Florida, as well as $150,00 in relief); and Giumarra Vineyards ($350,000 in relief from one of the largest growers of table grapes in the U.S., suit filed in southern California). The Giumarra settlement is notable because the company undertook to use part of the monetary relief to train some 3,000 migrant workers on sexual harassment and retaliation in languages that they would understand, as well as training its managers and revamping its procedures for reporting and investigating sexual harassment.
The EEOC enforces federal laws prohibiting employment discrimination. Additional information about the EEOC is available on its web site at www.eeoc.gov.

Popcorn Hour is one of the biggest names in media boxes, made for those with gigantic collections of downloaded movies and TV shows. Yes, they're popular among pirates, but the Popcorn Hour C-300's claim to be able to play any video or audio file you can throw at it should appeal to at least a handful of other folk too.
An update to the C-200, this is the top-end model in the Popcorn Hour line-up. It's big, versatile in at least a few senses and costs more than £300. And while capable in its field, missing features mean it simply isn't worth if it you're remotely legit.
The Popcorn Hour C-300 is a serious-looking piece of kit. As long as an old-fashioned Hi-Fi separates system and with edges sharp enough to take an eye out, this is not a device to please partners and housemates who would complain about surround sound system wires littering the lounge.
With an imposing black brushed metal front and an all-metal frame, it's undoubtedly solid. But attractive? Not really. This is a box that largely trades gorgeous design for the practical needs of its intended audience – those with full-to-the-brim media libraries.
On its front are two unashamed, uncovered USB 2.0 ports, there to quickly stick pen drives into, and an easy release 3.5in/2.5in bay door. This lets you – quite literally – shove in a hard drive or Blu-ray player. At the end of the bay are the power and connector plugs waiting for their arrival. The Popcorn Hour C-300 doesn't come with either drive as standard, though.
Having to spend more to unleash all of the box's potential is a running theme of the Popcorn Hour C-300. Although it's eye-wateringly expensive compared with some media boxes, such as the sub-£100 Western Digital TV Live, Wi-Fi does not come built-in. You'll need to buy a £25 Popcorn Hour WN-160, which helpfully seem to be out of stock in the UK at present. We tried using a handful of non-official sticks but none worked.
Not willing to splash out on accessories? You have to use the LAN port on the C-300's rear. Popcorn Hour and media enthusiasts may argue that a wired connection offers much better reliability and streaming quality, and they're not wrong. But the idea that HD-quality streaming over Wi-Fi is impossible is wrong. And not everyone keeps their router in the lounge.
For a more reliable signal than the WN-160 Wi-Fi USB stick provides, Popcorn Hour also offers a three-antenna internal Wi-Fi card, the MN-200. Once again, though, it seems to be about as easy to get hold of as bigfoot's phone number.
Also on the Popcorn Hour C-300's rear are composite, S-video and component video outputs, coaxial, optical and phono audio outputs and – most likely to be used these days – an HDMI 1.4 port, which of course handle both audio and video. There are two additional USB 2.0 ports to plug-in drives, external hard drives or the Wi-Fi dongle. This is the same spread of audio/video ports as was seen in the C-200. But, then again, it's all you need in a device like this.
The screen
The most important hardware change in this new generation is the 3.2in colour LCD on its front. For the first versions of the box's firmware, this screen did precisely nothing, but with the latest it shows a cropped version of whatever's on the main screen. We found it a bit of annoyance during normal usage, but it does enable skipping through a music library without turning your TV on. But isn't peering into a teeny screen a bit antiquated in the days of AirPlay and other forms of wireless streaming?
Popcorn Hour proves the point itself, offering an app for Android smartphones and iOS devices. However, it's not free (£1.99) and doesn't have a particularly slick interface.

It must be exciting times for all those Engineers who couldn't be bothered to study for their First Class License. You just get to walk right into what others have had to invest considerable time and effort to earn. Everyone is a Chief Engineer now, yay. But there's a catch, now everyone has it and as we all know when everyone has something it no longer has any value. It really makes the whole profession not a profession anymore, its just a dead end thankless job. There's nothing to aspire to or achieve, you graduate from some Cadet program, knock around on some tugs for a few years and then you are automatically qualified to be the Chief Engineer on even the largest and most complex vessels. That doesn't make any sense.
Look how poor working conditions are for Marine Engineers at the moment. They definitely will not improve now that we will all be so very, very disposable. Many companies that have been providing decent leave systems are already starting to eliminate them. Another very important point is this; in the past, when there have been economic downturns, companies have kept Chief's and Seconds around. Sometimes they will ship keep, double up on another boat or some other arrangement to retain their employment. This was due to the difficulty experienced in recruiting "big tickets". That won't happen anymore. If your boat lays up, you're gone! The taxi's will be waiting on the dock before the lines are out.
Chief Engineers could derive a certain confidence (not much) from the fact that they were not easily replaced. Now that Chief's will be a dime a dozen, there will be a considerably reduced ability to make any "demands", for parts, stores, competent crew etc. Most Chief's aren't in a Union. Our job security was partially derived from the fact that we had a license that was difficult to attain. Those days are over.
This is a sad, sad time to be a Marine Engineer. They might as well eliminate Cabotage and get it over with. Stop pulling off the band-aid slowly. Any young person getting involved in this industry now should have their head examined. I can't blame the people who became engineers a few years ago. Once you advanced there was reasonable job security.
Could somebody please answer one simple question for me? Why do things in the marine industry keep getting worse? Every single day it gets worse. You can't go ashore anymore, the licenses are a joke, the leave systems are moving away from month on/off instead towards it, crews are getting smaller, the companies aren't feeding us, the ships are run down, Class doesn't enforce anything, etc. etc. etc.I'm completely fed up.
Cadets and recent graduates, do something else its not too late. Seriously, don't end up like me, middle aged and without real options.
The office, or anyone ashore will never respect you, to them we are garbage. semi-literate boat garbage. The lowest down person in the office, whoever that is, is more valued than the most experienced ship based employee. I would actually say that maritime personal are despised by the office. Listen to the way they patronize you the next time you talk to anyone ashore. Working on ships is no life, I was told that when I was a Cadet and didn't listen.

Lowell National Historical Park
America's self-image is founded in part on the Nation's rapid rise to industrial preeminence by World War I. While there is no single birthplace of industry, Lowell's planned textile mill city, in scale, technological innovation, and development of an urban working class, marked the beginning of the industrial transformation of America. Visitors can see today the working components of this early manufacturing center---the dam and nearly six miles of canals that harnessed the energy of the Merrimack River; the mills where the cloth was produced; a boardinghouse representing the dozens of like buildings that housed the workers; the churches where they practiced their faiths; the ethnic neighborhoods. These are the roots of American industry and of American w
orking people. As much as the massive brick mills along the Merrimack, "mill girls" were an innovation of the early industrial revolution in New England. Lowell's mill workforce in the antebellum decades consisted largely of young single women from the farming communities of northern New England. Most were between 15 and 25, signing on for short stints that rarely exceeded a year at a time. Overall, they averaged about three years of employment before leaving the mills for marriage, migration to the west, other employment, or return to their hometowns.
Dissatisfaction with the work environment was a major reason for leaving the mills. In the 1830s and 40s women operatives protested against mill conditions. Their labor movement was not a narrow lobbying effort, but a broad reform campaign embracing a wide range of issues and underpinned by firm ideals. Writing in the Voice of Industry, Huldah J. Stone described the attitude of Lowell Female Labor Reform Association members toward reduction of the hours of labor: They do not regard this measure as an end, but only as one step toward the end to be attained. They deeply feel that their work will never be accomplished until slavery and oppression, mental, physical, and religious, shall have been done away with and Christianity in its original simplicity..shall be reestablished and practiced among men. In return for monthly cash wages, female workers in Lowell agreed to regulations that varied little from company to company: work for at least a year, live in a company boardinghouse, attend church. Many worked for a year and went back to the farm, some repeating this pattern two or three times.
The rows of long brick boardinghouses adjacent to Lowell's mills distinguished the city from earlier New England mill towns. Lowell's first female workers at the Merrimack Manufacturing Company were put up in wooden boardinghouses. By the mid-1830s, however, firms were adding brick buildings near their mills and requiring women without family in the city to live in them. Their behavior came under the watchful eye of boardinghouse keepers, who were required to report any misconduct to mill management. Typically 30 to 40 young women lived together in a boardinghouse. The first floor usually contained kitchen, dining room, and the keeper's quarters. Upstairs bedrooms accommodated four to eight women, commonly sleeping two in a double bed. In these close quarters, experienced workers helped new hands adapt to their situation. The boardinghouses began to fade from prominence as Lowell aged, profits fell, and the workforce changed. At first, Lowell firms rarely accommodated immigrants in the boardinghouses. After the Civil War, increasing numbers of immigrants found themselves "on the corporation," as the native-born left the mills.
By the turn of the century, however, immigrants were less interested in company housing, and boardinghouse keepers had to take in non-mill workers or offer board alone to make ends meet. The corporations sold off the boardinghouses, most of which were subdivided into tenement apartments for immigrant families or converted to other uses and eventually demolished. In the early 1970s a few people with vision, political know-how, and business sense stepped forward with plans to revitalize Lowell. Educator Patrick J. Mogan insisted that any revitalization of the city should be based on its industrial and ethnic heritage. This was the soul of the city-and not incidentally, a key to its economic salvation. Through the efforts of Mogan and others, the city undertook its rehabilitation. The Human Services Corporation and other community organizations worked with the Lowell Plan, the Lowell Development and Finance Corporation, and business and banking groups in a partnership to guide the city's revival. After years of study and debate on Mogan's proposal to make Lowell a new kind of national park based on labor and industrial history, Congress established Lowell National Historical Park and the Lowell Historic Preservation Commission in 1978. Lowell has once again become a place that is visited by planners from other cities, and even from other countries, who want to follow Lowell's example of using public-private partnerships to bring new life to their communities.

North Korea is undoubtedly one of the most closed off countries on earth. Few Western reporters are on the ground in the country, and its own media efforts are rarely taken as anything other than propaganda.
Not only does this mean that poorly-sourced stories about execution by dog make headlines around the world, but, more importantly, it also means it's exceptionally difficult to analyze the changing state of domestic politics inside the country. If outsiders can't accurately get a feel for the situation on the ground, it can be difficult if not impossible to know how to work with (or against) the North Korean government.
One man who is trying to gauge the situation in the country is Jiro Ishimaru, a Japanese journalist who works with Asia Press to operate a network of secret cameramen and women inside North Korea. The leaked footage acquired by Ishimaru shows subtle changes in the country. For instance, in the footage below, women who are accused of illegally running businesses or breaking the rule on females wearing pants angrily accost the soldiers who are targeting them.
It's remarkable footage. Don't forget, North Korea is a country known for its horrific political prison system. Both the women in the video and the person filming it could be jailed for violently defying authority.
Ishimaru's footage forms a core part of an hour-long Frontline documentary titled "Secret State of North Korea" due to air on PBS tonight. The show's director, James Jones, has told Foreign Policy magazine that one of the most startling moments — when a once-fervent North Korean state supporter called Kim Jong-un a pumpkinhead — didn't even make the cut. For Jones, these are just some of the many examples that seem to show North Korea is changing.

The 1772 Philadelphia Furniture Price Book: A Facsimile
In 1772, a group of Philadelphia craftsmen published Prices of Cabinet and Chair Work, a thirty-six-page book listing the furniture forms they made along with suggested retail prices and the rates master furniture makers should pay journeymen for particular items. While some standardization of prices within the craft had occurred in both Europe and America prior to 1772, the Philadelphia publication is the first furniture price book known to have been printed. This single surviving copy, now in the collection of the Philadelphia Museum of Art, contains fifty-six headings for furniture forms, including desks, bookcases, high chests, chairs, sofas, beds, clothes presses, and numerous tables for specialized uses. Listed below each heading are choices for variations in the design and styling, with three columns to the right giving, respectively, the price to be charged for each option in mahogany or walnut as the primary wood and the amount that should be paid to the journeymen who produced the components.
In her introductory essay, Alexandra Alevizatos Kirtley explains how this seemingly simple book of lists provides an extraordinary view into the world of furniture making in Philadelphia in the latter part of the eighteenth century. By quantifying what was valued in design and style based on the extra amount the patron was willing to pay for embellishments, the 1772 Philadelphia price book unveils the "art and mystery" of Philadelphia furniture making. In her guide to the price book, Kirtley explains the types of furniture listed and details many of the options available to eighteenth-century patrons of Philadelphia's fine furniture craftsmen.With an introduction and guide by Alexandra Alevizatos Kirtley Purchase Online

I need a logo for a boutique immigration law firm that will be used for business cards, letterhead, advertisements and website. My clientele includes small to mid-size companies, professionals in various industries as well as nonprofessionals. You can read more about my firm by going to http://www.dhananilaw.com. The website will be redone in part based on the winning logo so don't rely on the current site's look for coming up with a logo.
1. Should look good both in color and black and white.
2. Should convey a sense of professionalism, respect and prestige yet not appear overly conservative.
3. My initial thought is that blues and grays would be a good color scheme but I'm open to other color schemes if they look good.
4. Choose text color that contrasts with the background such as dark text on a light background.
5. Limit use of colors to no more than three.
6. TAG LINE: Immigration Attorneys. If you can design a logo that also looks good without the tag line that would be ideal.
7. Final logo must be provided in either Photoshop and/or Illustrator format.
1. The statue of liberty, globes, bald eagles and passports are overused on immigration law firm websites. Try to avoid these symbols unless they are used in a clever/creative way.

Ron George, the chief justice of the California Supreme Court, may be the most powerful California public official that most Californians have never heard of. But they knew his work, most memorably his decision to legalize same-sex marriage, a decision that was effectively overturned by voters with Prop 8.
He announced his retirement Wednesday, creating a vacancy at the high court at a very interesting time.
Too interesting if you're a fan of Jerry Brown, the Democratic gubernatorial nominee. George's retirement is likely to focus some public attention on the state supreme court and what the chief justice does, with Gov. Schwarzenegger having to decide who to nominate as George's successor. (He has until Sept. 16 to name someone). And that, in turn, could bring more attention to one of the most controversial decisions of Brown's first governorship: his appointment of Rose Bird as chief justice.
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
Bird was a path-breaking, progressive lawyer who had never been a judge when Brown nominated her for chief justice. A series of liberal decisions she issued on the environment and consumer legislation soon made her a lightning rod. But it was her opposition to the death penalty that ended her judicial career. California voters removed her and two other Brown-appointed justices in 1986.
Brown's appointment of Rose Bird was a political liability for him then, and he remains a source of dispute among those who still remember the controversy. Even some former Brown allies have called the appointment of Bird politically reckless. It would hardly be surprising if Meg Whitman's campaign piggybacked on the conversation about the California Supreme Court to re-introduce the Rose Bird story to Californians who have either forgotten it or are too old to remember.
AN IMPORTANT NOTE TO ADD: Brown, as attorney general, serves on the three-person commission that confirms judicial appointments.

The Lytro cam is probably my favourite piece of tech that has come out in the last couple of years. You never have to worry about a photo being in focus. Well according to The Verge, who interviewed Lytro's Director of Photograpy Eric Cheng, a video-capable Lytro cam is totally possible.
Cheng said there are hundreds of possible applications for the light field capture technology that the Lytro uses. When directly asked about the possibility of video, Cheng has the following to say:
Yes. Absolutely. Because light field capture is still single frame, and the entire light field is captured in a single shutter open and close like in a traditional system. sBecause it's all frame based, there's no reason why we can't build a light field based video camera. Things that would potentially be bottlenecks would be processor speed and things like this.
That sounds exciting. I want this like tomorrow. Lytro please make this happen. [The Verge]

The Filipino nickname Juan de la Cruz has been part and parcel of Philippine culture and even national identity. If the Northern Americans have Uncle Sam or John Doe to represent them, the Filipinos have Juan de la Cruz.
But did you know that Juan de la Cruz was coined by a Scot?
Juan de la Cruz was coined by Robert McCulloch-Dick, the editor and publisher of The Philippine Free Press in 1900s. He noticed the frequency with which the names appeared on police blotters and court dockets. He often wrote small verses about Juan de la Cruz in The Philippines' Free Press who was often depicted narrating the petty crimes committed by them. Later on, McCulloch-Dick widened his idea of Juan until he made Juan de la Cruz as a typical Filipino. Juan de la Cruz is associated with the image of a naïve-looking man wearing a salakot, camisa de chino, native trousers and slippers. Jorge Pineda, a resident cartoonist of The Philippines' Free Press, first drew the image of Juan in 1912.

Target's first-quarter profit rose almost 8 percent as attempts to turn its business around appear to be gaining some traction. Sales at established stores fell for the fourth consecutive quarter, but the decline was less than expected, and online sales surged 22 percent.
While the good pieces of news sent shares up more than 2 percent in midday trading Wednesday, CEO Brian Cornell still needs to find a way for Target to thrive in the face of intense pressure from Amazon and Wal-Mart. One of Target's key problems is that customer traffic declines extended into the first quarter and the amount shoppers put in their baskets also dropped. And Target also is still struggling with groceries and essentials, which drive shoppers to the store.
"While we are pleased that our first-quarter financial performance was better than expectations, our results are not where we want them to be and we have much more work to do," Cornell told investors. He noted that results have been volatile week to week since Christmas.
U.S. & World
Facing those challenges, Target had announced plans in February to remodel more than a third of its 1,800 stores over the next three years, speed up its expansion of small-format stores, bolster online operations, and launch new brands.
The company will also use stores as local distribution hubs — using the backroom storage areas to also house goods bought online directly to homes, or held there to be picked up by shoppers. Target is now using about 1,000 stores for direct shipping in a bid to match Amazon's free, two-day delivery available to its Prime customers.
With those measures in place, Target said it expects profits to start growing again in 2019 after taking a hit of $1 billion this year.
Cornell had said Target wants to return to more consistent low prices on essentials to deepen loyalty among shoppers, a shift from the temporary discounts it had been promoting. That might look like it's taking a page from Wal-Mart's playbook. But Cornell said Target is focusing on exclusive brands and the experience customers have in stores as well. Target said it launched a new ad campaign focused its convenient and low-price assortment of everyday items late in the first quarter.
All traditional stores have struggled as Amazon and other online retailers draw shoppers away. Under Cornell, Target had cut costs, revitalized its fashion and home decor sections, tested smaller formats, and expanded online services. But Cornell found those efforts were not paying off.
As Target works to rebuild, Wal-Mart is expected to post another quarter of higher customer traffic and increased same-store sales Thursday as its efforts to merge online sales with its vast number of stores click. Wal-Mart had warned in 2015 that stepped-up investments in stores and in its employees would hurt profits. Those investments appear to be paying off. Traffic and sales are solid at stores as a renewed emphasis on low prices has lured shoppers back.
Target said it's been seeing significant market share gains across clothing, including women's, children's and swimwear. And Cornell told reporters that Target is benefiting from other companies closing stores. He estimates that $45 billion to $60 billion in sales are up for grabs.
The company is also testing a program called Restock that lets its REDcard customers order household essentials like laundry detergent, paper towels and peanut butter and have them delivered to their homes the next day. The service, being tested with employees for now, is similar to Amazon Pantry. It will be expanded to customers in the Minneapolis area this summer.
Target had quietly raised its free shipping threshold to $35 from $25 this month, going in the opposite direction of Wal-Mart and Amazon.
For the quarter ended April 29, Target earned $681 million or $1.23 per share. Adjusted earnings came to $1.21 per share, well above the 91 cents per share that Wall Street had expected according to FactSet. Revenue fell 1.1 percent to $16.02 billion, but still beat analyst projections of $15.62 billion.
Comparable-store sales fell 1.3 percent, but that was better than the 3.7 percent decline analysts had expected.
Target shares gained $1.15 to $55.67, but they're still down more than 24 percent for the year.

Michael Gethen necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 89 diseños de 30 diseñadores freelance.
I am a corporate advisor and management consultant who requires a new logo and visual identity for my business. I work with clients in the digital media, publishing, marketing & communications services and technology sectors, in Australia and Asia. More detail here: http://www.gethen.com.au and here: http://www.linkedin.com/in/mgethen
I need a new logo and corporate identity created, then draft designs for website and business cards.
Gethen Media
First task is for a logo and visual identity, then once finalised, draft designs for website and business cards.
As an established advisor with regular referrals from existing clients, I don't spend much on marketing and advertising, so the website and business cards are my primary marketing "touch points" with new clients. They need to convey my values, particularly my experience and professionalism.
I have two types of clients: The first are the senior management in large companies and organisations in the media, publishing, marketing & comunications services and technology sectors. I work with these clients on business strategy for the web and mergers & acquisitions deals. The other type of clients are early stage or start-up businesses, where I work with entrepreneurs on how to grow their business and make them valuable. I also work with investment bankers to raise capital for businesses.
- My design ethic leans strongly towards classic and minimalist design with a contemporary (but not fad-ish) interpretation
- Favourite fonts are Gills Sans and Garamond, although their use is not compulsory
- Key words for tone and feel of design would be: professional, intelligent, beautiful, refined, approachable, insightful, techno-literate, dependable
- Looking for a logo that combines great typography with a simple graphic device that creates a professional looking core element for an enduring corporate id
- No rainbows
- Prefer muted colours to bright ones
- Nothing that is too much like 'today's design fad', must be a design that will be classic and durable
- No script or cursive fonts

The last of Sony's trio of new phones, unveiled at IFA, is another budget deal from the big S. The Xperia J forgoes the top-notch screen on the better models for a 4-inch FWVGA display - and it shows. The phone is definitely budget but still has one of the best-looking displays we have seen on an affordable handset.
Available in either black or gold - or from the looks of it, pink - all three are fairly plasticky but feeled very robust and nicely put together. We didn't get to see the intelligently illuminating social media update light in action, but rest assured the phone was flashing a lot.
The camera on the back of the Xperia J isn't exactly great but does the job, as does the slimmed-down Android OS which is quick enough. Sony has kept most specs on the phone to itself, so we can't tell you exactly what sites inside, but we would be surprised if it was anything dual core.
All in all the Xperia J feels like a nice budget offering from Sony and should punch its weight in the cheap Android phone market.
Like the sound of the Xperia J? Let us know in the comments below ...

Hi Steve,
1) For a Concentration (Lasting), Sustained (Lasting), or Continuous (Lasting) power with a staged effect, does the power work (unless you mention otherwise, I'll assume the answer here is the same in core and Ultimate Power):
A) Every round that the power is maintained the target has to save against the effect again (no attack roll necessary) and if his save result gives a worse result than what has occurred so far, the effect gets worse accordingly (but a success doesn't help anything, since this is just a save against another use of the power, not a "breakout" save).
B) The target saves when the power is initially used. Then merely maintaining the power in a subsequent round doesn't force the target to make any additional saves; you have to take the power's normal action (and make the usual attack roll if the power requires one) to use the Lasting power again on the target. If the save fails by a greater "stage" than before increase the existing Lasting effect accordingly (with some of the answers above being relevant here).
C) Something else?
2) The last sentence of the Pain power in UP (pg 177) states, "A save that fails by a greater margin than before increases the power's effect, as described previously"
What is this referring to? I think this may be a reference to the "accumulating levels of failure" clause from the Nauseate power, but if so, as Pain is based on Stun, this is erroneous.

Hey friends. If you like what you see I would love for you to follow along in my creative adventures on Instagram. You can also find me pinning away on Pinterest.
Back in 2011 I redid the inside on one of my cabinets to hang all of my measuring cups and spoons and then added in a vinyl measurement conversion chart above that. Between these two projects I have gotten over 177,000 pins and those two posts continue to be in the top 5 pages visited on my site each month – two and half year later. So I thought I would revisit it. To this day the cabinet looks exactly the same, and I have not lost one measuring spoon or cup – minor miracle and an organization success in my book. Here is the picture Better Homes & Gardens took of this spot…
I showed you how I organized my measuring cups and spoons with cup hooks and paint sticks. You may have noticed a large, blank space above where I organized them. While hanging anything else up there would have proven to be a challenge to get down I decided to use that space to have a commonly used conversion table that I constantly use for my baking needs.
In the past I had this little conversion table laminated on my fridge for over a decade. I thought it would be perfect to take it off my fridge, making it appear a little less cluttered, and take advantage of the primo space in my cabinet.
I just made it in my Silhouette Studio program and then applied the vinyl into the interior of my cabinet door.
I removed the transfer paper and Viola! instant vinyl measurement conversion chart. Mine measured about 7" tall by 14 1/2" wide.
I contacted my friend Laura at Say it on the Wall and she agreed to design and sell the vinyl for the measurement charts and the cup and spoons vinyl words in her shop for you.
The Kitchen Conversion chart is $12
The Kitchen Measurement Label Set is $7
Or you can buy The Combo Pack of both of them for $15!

Eminem is my favorite Artist. He is currently 38 years old living with his daughter, Hailee. Sadly, he had a depressing childhood. He was bullied, he had to move from place to place, his dad left him, and he didn't even get to meet him. But that all changed when he found his voice, and Eminem was born. Now he is considered one of the most admired people in the world. I hope you enjoy drawing this tutorial!

Going to college; getting your first job; moving into your own place. To these rites of passage, add one more: doing your own taxes. And, it doesn't have to be scary. There is actually a simple way to do your taxes that can help save you time and money.
Free File — available at IRS.gov — lets you choose brand-name tax software that does the hard work for you, all for free. The IRS has a partnership with the Free File Alliance, a coalition of leading tax software companies. About 3 million people use it every year. There is also a software option that is available in Spanish.
Free File facts:
– There is a Free File option for every taxpayer.
– Free File's brand-name tax software is available to those who made $57,000 or less in 2012.
– Free File's online fillable forms are the electronic alternative to IRS paper forms and have no income limit for eligibility.
Three steps to getting started:
Step 1: Gather your tax materials
Collect the tax materials needed to do your taxes and log on to Free File through the IRS website: www.IRS.gov/freefile. Here's some of what you need:
– A copy of last year's tax return
– Valid Social Security numbers for yourself, spouse and children
– All income statements, i.e. W-2 forms, from all employers
– Interest/dividend statements, i.e. 1099 forms
– Form 1099-G showing any state refunds
– Unemployment compensation amount
Step 2: Choose an option
File your taxes using Free File's brand-name tax software or online fillable forms. The "Help Me Choose A Company" option helps you pick the tax software that fits your needs. The software then helps guide you through the tax process. Fillable forms are electronic and perform basic math calculations, and are designed for people who are comfortable preparing their own paper tax returns.
Step 3: Prepare and e-file your return
E-file your return for free. No matter what option you choose, IRS and software providers use the most current technology to ensure tax information is encrypted, so it's safe and secure when it's transmitted.
Use e-file and direct deposit:
E-filing your return and selecting direct deposit are still the fastest way to get your refund. There's even an IRS smart phone application, IRS2Go, that you can use to find out the status of your refund. You can also track your return with the "Where's My Refund?" tool on the IRS website.
What if you can't meet the April 15, 2013, filing deadline?
You can use either Free File software or online fillable forms to file an extension. Use Free File to complete and submit Form 4868. And then, return to Free File by October 15, 2013, to file your return.
The Free File software — designed to provide a fast, safe and free filing option — is available online 24/7, giving you the freedom to choose when and how you do your taxes.

Tooling Update
Die Shop Assigns Waterjet-Cutting Machine to Carve Out Die Sets and Stripper Plates
"Machining molds and dies, we used to rough things out that we'd finish-machine later," says Rebecca Gramse, an engineer at MRG. "We wanted to do a better job by cutting more quickly and efficiently as well as save money on material. Flow's 87,000-psi waterjet-cutting machine helps us accomplish those goals. We're now cutting die sets, stripper plates and aerospace parts that involve different fixturing and tooling."
Using the new machine, "we've realized a tremendous improvement in productivity," adds Gramse. "For example, cutting die-set plates, what previously took 25 hr. to accomplish now takes just 15 hr., with nice edge quality."

30 Meals Under $30
(page 1 of 6)
By Starr Begley, Jennifer Ching, Lois Ann Ell, Tiffany Hill, Christine Hitt, Michael Keany, A. Kam Napier, Catherine Tarleton and Kathryn Drury Wagner
Thirty dollars used to be plenty of cash to buy a nice meal. But recently, we've noticed that restaurant entrées are routinely pushing that threshold, with many menus showing dishes costing $30—and up. That's why we were particularly inspired to find entire meals that cost less than $30. Real, satisfying meals, at nice restaurants, even with a glass of wine. It can be done—here's how.
Baci Bistro
$25.40! House salad ($5.50), linguine with clams ($13.95) and profiteroles ($5.95).
A cozy little spot with Italian music playing and plenty of wine available, Baci Bistro is the perfect place for meeting up with friends. We tried the house salad, topped with an artistic ribbon of beets and carrots, then tucked into a giant bowl of sweet clams and linguine. Our server had recommended the "natural" sauce, but you can also choose a white or red sauce if you like things a little heartier. Decadent, chocolate-topped profiteroles filled with vanilla ice cream finished our meal. La dolce vita! Lunch Monday through Friday, 11:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. Dinner nightly from 5:30 to 10. 30 Aulike St., 262-7555. bacibistro.com.
Mermaid Bar
$20! Soup du jour ($6.25), Mermaid custom salad with sautéed shrimp ($13.75).
There's no need to jockey with the hoi polloi for a seat in the crowded food court at Ala Moana Center. The Mermaid Bar, tucked away on the second floor of Neiman Marcus, offers a secluded, peaceful lunch experience, for just a few dollars more than you'd spend on a regular old plate lunch. On a recent Saturday we enjoyed a wonderful chicken lentil soup and a fresh salad made to order with all our favorites: broccoli, cucumber, blood oranges, tomatoes, bacon, croutons. We also sprang for the sautéed shrimp, which added $4 to the tab, but, all in all, it was an entirely reasonable bill for an entirely civilized lunch. Monday through Saturday, 11 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. 1450 Ala Moana Blvd., Neiman Marcus, second floor, 951-3428.
Gyotaku Japanese Restaurant
$21.70! Zaru-soba, California roll and tempura combination ($15.95), iced tea ($2.50), green-tea ice cream ($3.25).
The golden tempura, the colorful sushi rolls—we couldn't decide, so we got it all: cold zaru-soba noodles, four pieces of California roll and three pieces of spicy tuna sushi, tempura and a small tossed salad in one combination plate. Top it off with a refreshing dessert—green-tea shave ice or ice cream, or the new Okinawan sweet potato and haupia pie. Sunday through Thursday, 11 a.m. to 9 p.m., and Friday to Saturday, 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. King Street location: 1824 King St., 949-4584. Niu Valley location: 5730 Kalanianaole Highway, 373-2731. Pearl City location: 98-1226 Kaahumanu St., 487-0091. gyotakuhawaii.com.
Sapori Enoteca/Birreria
$24.50! Stuffed pork-loin chop ($18) and a glass of pinot grigio ($6.50).
Sapori Enoteca/Birreria is a mouthful to say, but your stomach will thank you for stopping by. Sapori means "flavor" in Italian, and chef Donato Loperfido creates dishes that live up to the name. Nestled in the ground floor of the Uraku Tower, Sapori is a classy, tapas-style place. Looking for a larger dish, we opted for the stuffed pork-loin chop. The dish's aroma captured us even before the waiter set it down. The pork is stuffed with Montasio cheese and speck (a type of dried ham) and neatly sliced, with a red wine tartufata sauce. The entrée featured roasted potatoes and haricot vert on the side. With a glass of pinot grigio and complimentary bread, you'll leave more than satisfied. Open nightly from 5:30 to 10 p.m., except for Fridays from 4:30 to 10 p.m. 1341 Kapi'olani Blvd., 955-3582, saporihonolulu.com.
JJ Bistro and French Pastry
$24.95! Four-course meal special: spicy-lemongrass soup, Lao Rock and Roll chicken summer rolls, lamb Wellington, strawberry cheesecake and mini crème brûlée.
This restaurant offers high-quality food and a friendly, neighborhood vibe—we wound up chatting with people at the table next to us to strategize on what to order. The first course, a lemongrass/chicken soup, tasted magically comforting, like it could cure the common cold, while the summer-roll appetizer featured unusually tasty summer rolls. When the lamb Wellington arrived, the scent of rosemary rose up and surrounded us. Too full for the cheesecake? Yes, but it was too delicious for us to pass up. Monday through Saturday, 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., Sunday, noon to 9 p.m. 3447 Waialae Avenue, 739-0993, jjfrenchpastry.com.

Mariners all in as Seahawks get ready for Super Bowl
SEATTLE -- Spring Training is less than two weeks away and free-agent discussions are still under way, but there's something else buzzing at Safeco Field's offices this week.
The 12th Man fever gripping sports fans in Seattle is fully evident at Mariners headquarters as well in anticipation of Sunday's Super Bowl appearance by the Seahawks.
As an organization, the Mariners have left no doubt that they're all in with their Northwest neighbors. Two weeks ago, 12th Man banners proudly flew on each of the flagpoles atop Safeco Field prior to the NFC championship game at Century Link Field, which sits just across the street in Seattle's SoDo District.
Now the Mariners have taken out a full-page ad in Friday's Seattle Times Super Bowl section showing jerseys of nine of their top players -- from newcomer Robinson Cano to Felix Hernandez to Kyle Seager to Hisashi Iwakuma -- all with the No. 12 replacing their usual number and a message to "Bring it home, Hawks."
Mariners' front-office employees all wore Seahawks gear on Friday and posed in the ballpark with a huge 12th Man flag for a photo that will be sent to the Seahawks, along with a giant postcard signed by fans at last weekend's FanFest.
General manager Jack Zduriencik ended a recent pre-Spring Training news conference at Safeco Field by putting on a Seahawks hat and tossing out a "Go Hawks," and new manager Lloyd McClendon visited a Seahawks practice last week at the team's facility across Lake Washington, in Renton.
The Mariners are embracing the Seahawks' success, knowing what their Super Bowl appearance means to a fan base hungry for a championship. And yes, they clearly know their own supporters are hoping for a winning team to rally behind as well.
"It is unbelievable how the Hawks have pulled this town together," said new team president Kevin Mather. "The 12th Man has taken over every corner of the Northwest. We know firsthand that Seattle is filled with sports fans, and like the Seahawks did, we just need to give those fans something to cheer about."
Kevin Martinez, the Mariners' vice president of marketing, has had his staff put together social media messaging, and the advertising campaign, in support of their NFL brethren.
"The Hawks' season has been an incredible ride for our entire region," Martinez said. "Sports bring a community together in a way nothing else can. There is so much passion and pride throughout the Northwest. You get goose bumps walking down the street and seeing all the displays of support. It's fantastic."
Mariners and Seahawks players have long supported one another. Richard Sherman and other Seahawks were frequent visitors at Safeco Field last season, Mariners Hall of Famer Jay Buhner raised the 12th Man flag at Century Link prior to a Seahawks game this year, and Ken Griffey Jr., Ichiro Suzuki and Jamie Moyer did the same in previous seasons.
Even while living in Denver, in the heart of Broncos territory, this offseason, outfielders Michael Saunders and Logan Morrison have made no mistake about their rooting allegiance.
"I'm getting asked that a lot," Saunders said of living behind "enemy" lines. "But I was a big Seahawks fan growing up [in Victoria, British Columbia]. Now, obviously, living in Denver, I'm not going to lie. I'm a big Broncos fan as well. They're a lot of fun to watch. Who wouldn't want to watch Peyton Manning on a daily basis?
"But I have to stay true to my hometown team. Go Seahawks," he added with a grin. "It was a win-win for me, but I want to see the Seahawks take it home. It's going to be a heck of a game, best offense against the best defense. It's going to be a lot of fun to watch."
Morrison, acquired via trade from the Marlins this offseason, has no Seattle ties yet, but his 12th Man card this week comes courtesy of his own hometown roots, having grown up in Kansas City, where the Chiefs are a heated foe of the AFC West-rival Broncos.
"I'm the opposite of a Broncos fan," Morrison said. "I just can't bring myself to root for them, since they're in the same division. So I'll definitely be pulling for the Seahawks."
Cano is just getting to know Seattle after signing his $240 million deal this winter, but he's well aware of the Seahawks' rousing support and is eager to bring some of that excitement to the Mariners as well.
"This city is about sports," Cano said. "You can see how the Seahawks are playing and how packed the stadium gets. Even soccer. It's all about winning. I know if I'm a fan, I want to go see a good team. I want to go see a team that really performs and does really good. This is a sports city, and I just can't wait for our season to get going."
McClendon has yet to manage his first game in Seattle, but he's already found himself drawn to the calm and confident charisma displayed by Seahawks coach Pete Carroll during the heat of a game.
"I thought it was absolutely phenomenal when the Seahawks were playing the 49ers and the 49ers were up and taking it to us pretty good," McClendon said. "And they showed the picture of Pete Carroll [on TV], and he was very confident, just a very quiet confidence. He put a stick of gum in his mouth and was just very relaxed.
"I thought that was a very important moment, because you could just sense that his players were feeding off his confidence. Being a leader, that's what it's all about. You want your players to take on your personality and how you go about your business and how you prepare."
That's the sort of culture McClendon wants to instill in a Mariners team that hasn't made the postseason since 2001. And his players know that Seattle sports fans will embrace them eagerly as well if they can bring winning baseball back to Safeco Field.
"I truly believe this is going to be a different year for us," said Saunders, who feels the signing of Cano sent a signal to both the team and all of baseball. "I've bought into the atmosphere here. There's a buzz, obviously, with the Seahawks. The Sounders [of Major League Soccer] had a great year. It's a great sports city, and we want to be a part of that as the Mariners. So I'm all in."
And he's not alone.
