A woman driving to her local Walmart heard a funny noise coming from the front end of her car. When she arrived in the parking lot on Annapolis Road in Landover Hills she was surprised to find a small kitten had hitched a ride within the fender. Not being able to reach the small kitten she turned to her local firefighter/medics for help.
So it was around 8:30 am, Friday, June 22, that she called the nearby Landover Hills Fire/EMS Station 830. It just so happened that the Fire/EMS Department's cat loving Captain was working. Fire Fighter/Medic Captain Danon Ushinski and his wife had adopted a kitten a few months ago that she had rescued. The Ushinski's ended up adopting that rescued kitten "Mystic" after their beloved "Jeffrey" had passed about 2 months ago. Captain Ushinski has since earned the affectionate nickname of the "cat guy."
"We drove the engine non emergency to the scene and found a small grey kitten in the fender," explained Ushinski. "With approval of the car owner a decision was made to try and remove the fender for better access." After returning to the Fire/EMS Station to obtain equipment and returning to the scene, Ushinski was able to video the kitten and captured his meowing (video attached).
Using some feline type quick thinking, Ushinski replayed the video with the audio of the "meow" combined with the quick cat skill grab of Fire Fighter/Medic Shawn Croissette the vehicle remained intact.
Ushinski stated, "I played back his meow and he started meowing and he moved closer to the bottom of the vehicle." Captain Ushinski was joined by "cat guy #2" Croissette. "The kitten moved to a position that Croisette was able to grab him and pull him to freedom," said Ushinski. The kitten was assessed and placed in a box and accompanied the firefighter/medics back to the Landover Hills Station.
Plans are for Ushinski to keep the kitten at the station until 3:00 pm. When off-duty he will bring the kitten to the Anne Arundel SPCA. Danon and Morgan Ushinski will go through the adoption process once again of a this rescued kitten the firefighters have named "River."

Thursday last week was the 16th and final episode of the show That Fool/Accidental Couple in KBS. I really feel bad it's over. I'll miss Gu Dong Baek (Hwang Jung Min) and my TV time with Asul:(
The video below was a clip from episode 14. The way they sang Over the Rainbow was really cute (especially the "doom ba doom ba doom" lol ang kulet!:) and I was surprised at how good Hwang Jung Min's set of vocal cords is:) Not only is he my favorite Korean actor now, he's also my favorite singer! lol

Translating Scientific Research in Autism into Clinical Practice
Editorial and study series published in Journal of the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry addresses 'translation gap'
Washington D.C., December 5, 2012 – An editorial published in the November 2012 issue of the Journal of the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry (JAACAP) discusses the challenge of translating scientific research in autism into clinical practice, and presents a series of studies published over several months that address this 'translation gap'.
The translations gap, or the 'Valley of Death,' is a twofold challenge: first, translating the findings of laboratory research into a diagnostic test or method of intervention, which then must itself be studied, and second, using the information derived from evaluations of the new test or method to effect changes in patient care.
Tasked with bringing fresh, clinically relevant autism research to JAACAP, Editorial Board members Peter Szatmari, Tony Charman, and John N. Constantino solicited articles that "bridge the translations gap… by describing methodologically rigorous, newsworthy, and… clinically relevant scientific contributions" in the area of autism research. The resulting articles, published throughout 2012, address such topics as gender differences in the diagnosis of autism spectrum disorders (ASD), biomarkers for ASD, developmental trajectories and daily living skills, caregiver burden, and evaluations of several intervention and screening models.
Lead author Dr. Peter Szatmari said of the autism series, "Translational science requires a different paradigm than traditional research and these articles provide an exciting insight into what is possible when we take that challenge seriously."
The editorial "Into, and Out of, the "Valley of Death": Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders" by Peter Szatmari, Tony Charman, and John N. Constantino, (http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.jaac.2012.08.027) appears in the November issue of Journal of the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, Volume 51, Issue 11 (November 2012), published by Elsevier.

Note: green and mushroom dial phones are now SOLD.
Anyway, I cannot believe it has been nearly a month since our last post. Opps.
What have we been doing? Well, we now have a Facebook place page called the manufactory. This usually has our breaking news first ... although we have been a little slack there too recently.
We have an eBay store called the manufactory up and running. We are listing around 5 items a week. It's a great place for our out of towners to grab a little piece of the manufactory.
We are also keenly awaiting the release of our own website which will link together our blog, eBay store, Facebook page etc at the one site. A few server issues, but hang in there, it will be here soon...
So what do we have of interest in store? Great retro and vintage stock as usual. Plus, pastel hued Melbourne designed new homewares to brighten up your winter home, that's what!
Don't forget our Cristina Re teacups and matching saucers are still only $20. Just until stocks run out folks. Running low on black and pink teacups especially. Great for a warming cuppa.
And we have restocked our wonderful Angus & Celeste ceramic hanging planters. Four colours are back - green, yellow, pink and blue - in both the jelly mould style and pleated style. Gorgeous.
Oh yes, in this hectic June, we also had our 2nd birthday. June 16th was the 2nd anniversary of the manufactory. Hip hip hooray!

One of the most common error people do when configuring Office 365 is doing so with the wrong default language! And trust me this is so common that we are doing language migrations almost weekly.
It might sound like that's just something that you change like a setting but the default language is actually set when you configure the tenant for the first time and is something that you can not change after the initial provisioning is made.
Or actually it is possible to change it but that requires a reset of your default sites in SharePoint and often a migration of OneDrive for Business data etc.
Running the following PowerShell Command will list all your sites and the language they are created in.
Get-SPOSite -Detailed | select Url,LocaleId
If you have a LocalId other than 1033 on some of the default sites you are in trouble and our recommendation is to contact us to resolve this.

Hey every body! It's time to get creative! Get out any pretty card paper or construction paper you have! Were going to make a savings jar! I already made one and i am extremely happy with how it turned out! Mine is labeled for my pet fund. Mine is for buying food, new toys, or treats! Although i only put a small amount in per week, it will build up fast! And if i decide to, i can add more in! The littlest amount i can put in per week is $2.00 but i can go as high as i want! So this really will build up! Your prices, decorations, and purposes will obviously be different. But i did think it would be fun to share! Lets get started!
In the end, my second one did not turn out as nicely as the first one, just because it is taller and the paper was to short both ways. But, It will turn out well if you are careful, precise, and creative! This is actually something i learned how to make off of YouTube. The lady making it actually was making hers for a vet fund and it is a little bit different than mine because from the way she wrote it on her container, it seems like she adds more in every day rather than every month or week. But, i thought that i would share it with ya'll . Here is a link to the YouTube video and then her website all about hamsters ( well, for the people who have hamsters anyway.) I hope you enjoyed!

George Dubya Bush: An Appreciation: By JUSTIN DeFREITAS
George W. Bush has been good to me. To call him my savior would be overstating the case, but not by much. I was drifting, with little sense of direction or purpose, when he came to me and showed me the way. It will be difficult to vote against a man who has given me so much.
As a political cartoonist, it is my job to dwell on the negative, and President Bush has provided me with a seemingly bottomless well of negativity. All I have to do is reach down with cupped hands and drink my fill. A good cartoon channels the artist's outrage over hypocrisy, arrogance, incompetence and injustice into a clear, simple image which indicts the perpetrators and calls them to account. And I can't imagine a better muse than George Bush.
Not that John Kerry wouldn't provide plenty of fodder, should he be elected. The man's hair alone is worthy of satire. And with that elongated face and those sad hound-dog eyes, the man is a veritable anthology of caricature clichés.
And his politics, of course, would provide ample material; it is a testament to the extremism of Bush's policies that Kerry is in many quarters considered liberal. The New Democrat mentality, once Republican Lite, has been redefined as leftist, and leftist redefined as radical. More troops in Iraq; a harder line against Palestine; a pandering "right into the camera" pledge of no new taxes on a middle class redefined as those making less than $200,000—if this is liberalism, perhaps it's time I trade in my beard for a hammer and sickle.
So in a sense, I can't lose; the field of candidates guarantees me some measure of job security. But George Bush is special. What's bad for the country is good for the cartoonist, and Bush is evidently steadfast in his determination to revitalize the art of political cartooning.
When I began my post-collegiate cartooning career, the nation's biggest scandal, speaking figuratively, was in Bill Clinton's pants. And that wasn't a topic I found particularly inspiring.
Otherwise, things were pretty dull—it was a time of relative peace and prosperity, with most of the public debate centered on an absurd and petty soap opera of sex, lies and Linda's Tripp wire, designed to send the president stumbling into impeachment. This may sound like fertile ground for a cartoonist, and for many it was, but I did not get into this business to make penis jokes. That was, and remains, merely a personal hobby.
Political cartooning, already on a steady downward path from the heights of Watergate and the Reagan years, had taken another precipitous drop, reducing itself to a series of jokes and one-liners on current events, rather than statements of opinion and principle. Humor, once viewed as just one of many tools in the cartoonist's toolbox, had become the objective, rendering the editorial cartoon nothing more than a humorous diversion from the serious topics otherwise discussed with sobriety on the editorial page. Editorial cartoonists across the country seemed content to play court jester, attempting to line their pockets with the meager reprint fees shelled out by a nation of editors hell-bent on not challenging their readers. It was difficult enough for me to make my way as a freelancer; I didn't want to add to the cacophony of trite cartoons vying for the reader's eye.
Then the 2000 election fiasco came along and gave me something worth drawing about: fraud, corruption, voter disenfranchisement, stolen elections, a deposed family dynasty on the march. Things were looking up.
And after the inauguration, the hits just kept on coming: the Healthy Forests Initiative that wasn't; the Clear Skies Act that didn't—the Orwellian turns of phrase were abundant, transparent, maddening and inspiring. These were good times.
Then 9/11 came along, and with it a brief period of national unity, during which many of the nation's cartoonists embarrassed themselves with fawning portraits of Bush as a giant among men, a bold and statuesque leader who had grown in office—despite the fact that his administration had been caught with its pants down in a position far more compromising than any conceived in Bill Clinton's naughtiest fantasies. But the love-fest would be short-lived.
The conventional wisdom was that the 9/11 attacks had changed everything, but its true effects were far more insidious than anyone could have predicted: It transformed the bumbling presidency of George W. Bush into a seemingly unstoppable neo-conservative juggernaut, a focused and determined political machine that would ruthlessly channel the confusion and anguish of 9/11 toward a radical conservative agenda. And it gave me–and political cartooning in general–a second wind.
The administration used 9/11 to justify a series of outrageous and egregious policies, steamrolling over the Democrats and the nation in pursuit of the neo-con wet dream that had lain dormant for more than a decade, and culminating in the attempt to establish Iraq as a bright shining example of laissez faire Utopia. They demanded the unfathomable and settled for the unthinkable, making Orwell's nightmares seem like acceptable compromises by comparison. There is no more hospitable climate for a cartoonist.
And though I'm sure President Kerry could be depended upon to carry the torch and continue much of the ongoing circus of folly and hypocrisy, I'm not sure what will become of me if he doesn't. If worse comes to worst and I'm left without material, I may just be forced to use my considerable salary to finance another California recall.
In the meantime, while the optimist in me hopes for change, the opportunist in me is cheering for President Bush. The man came to me in my time of need and he's given me some good years. And it's hard to turn your back on a friend like that.

Team Sky and Sponsor 21CF Donate Bikes, Gear and More to Los Angeles Boys & Girls Clubs
Team Sky and Sponsor 21CF Donate Bikes, Gear and More to Los Angeles Boys & Girls Clubs
NEWSROOM: 21st Century Fox
CAMPAIGN: Sports & Well-being at 21st Century Fox
CONTENT: Blog
As Team Sky returned to the U.S. for the 2016 Amgen Tour of California, the team and its sponsor 21st Century Fox donated bikes, helmets, Team Sky shirts and more to the young members of the South Bay Boys & Girls Clubs in Los Angeles. The pro cyclists also spent the afternoon of May 11 guiding the kids from South Bay through a cycling confidence course, helping them get comfortable riding and giving them the tools they need to stay active and healthy. Team Sky has a long history of engaging fans on the issues of health and exercise, and 21CF has spearheaded those efforts during the team's visits to America.
The Boys & Girls Clubs provide after-school programs for young people in many of America's most underserved communities, and for many of the kids at South Bay, the bikes they received at the event were their first. Team Sky riders Andy Fenn, Peter Kennaugh, Lars Petter Nordhaug, Alex Peter and Danny Van Poppel, along with Fox volunteers, helped guide the kids through a cycling course, teaching them how to have a safe and enjoyable ride. Afterwards, the pros signed autographs and posed for pictures with Club members.
"We strive to help our youth reach their full potential as productive, caring, responsible citizens," said Viridiana Yahuaca, who directs the South Bay Club. "With any program that we run, we keep one thing in mind: our kids continue to be the future."
The event built upon previous partnerships among 21CF, Team Sky and Boys & Girls Clubs, including last year's SoulCycle | Team Sky Pro Challenge. Team Sky members Ian Boswell and Danny Pate, as well as FOX Sports reporter Jenny Taft, led a high energy spin class at SoulCycle Beverly Hills to raise money for the Boys & Girls Clubs of America. 21CF also donated bikes, equipment and Team Sky gear to several Los Angeles area clubs.
This emphasis on teamwork and inclusivity has long been characteristic of both Team Sky's athletic training and its outreach efforts. Its popular SkyRide events, for example, inspire Team Sky supporters to live healthier, more active lifestyles.
SkyRide began in 2009 to encourage fans to introduce regular exercise to their daily routines. The first event offered fans the chance to participate in a special traffic-free bike ride on a 15-kilometer route through London, and more than 65,000 people attended. The events have only grown in popularity since, and they now include dozens of partner rides in cities throughout the UK every year. Team Sky estimates that programs like these have inspired more than 1 million people in the UK to take up regular cycling.

Despite its seriously under-rehearsed opening night performance, Queanbeyan Players production of "The Merry Widow from Bluegum Creek" still managed to charm, not the least because of Frank Hatherley's entertaining new book and lyrics.
Hatherley has set his version of "The Merry Widow" in the Australian Embassy in Paris in 1901. The storyline follows closely on previous versions, but many of the characters have been Australianised to create some funny comic situations. He has managed this without either bowdlerising the characters or compromising the integrity of Lehar's music.
In fact, Lehar's glorious score remains largely intact, and is the great strength of this production, being very well performed by Jennifer Groom's large orchestra and, generally, well sung by the cast.
Director Peter Smith has assembled a cast of impressive singers, led by Louise Keast, who charms as the widow, Anna Gladstone, and provides the vocal highlight of the evening with her superb rendition of "Vilia" (in this version called "Bluegum"). Charles Hudson is also well cast as her reluctant love interest, Danny Macquarie.
Fine singing also from Ken Goodge and Stephanie McAlister, obviously relishing their roles as the lecherous Count Camille de Rosillon and his flirtatious paramour, Lady Valerie Wentworth, from Matt Greenwood, nailing every laugh with a fine comic performance as the embassy's only Frenchman, Michelin, and from Thompson Quan Wing, who not only designed the attractive setting, but also slyly flaunts an impeccable French accent to great effect.
Robert Grice earns his fair share of laughs as the bumbling Australian ambassador and Janene Broere shines as the doyen of the embassy wives, leading them with gusto through a display of unsuspected talents, as French can-can dancers.
Hopefully, blemishes that took the gloss off opening night, such as remembering to switch body-mics on and off; smartening up responses to line cues and mastering Belinda Hassall's very basic choreography, will be attended to so that Lehar's glorious music, and Hatherley's
very funny script can shine through, without distraction.

I'm currently using (I think) FAHCore 0xa7, at least according to FAHControl's Status, and using FAHControl v7.4.4 on a late 2009 quad-core i7 iMac with 16GB RAM and 1TB HD running under macOS v10.13.6 (17G3025) High Sierra.
Recently (I can't define that, but a couple of months or so I'd guess) I have found everything running very slowly - changing panels, opening applications, navigating through Mail, etc. etc. and I have just paused my latest Unit and things have speeded up dramatically. I am assuming, therefore, that F@H is causing the slowdown.
I have had a look at this august and highly esteemed Forum and there seems to be a bit of trouble with 7.5.1 so I have deferred upgrading as I prefer (if that's the right word) to deal with one problem at a time!
Can anyone tell me why F@H has started to interfere with my normal working? I don't recall experiencing this slowness on "day one" when I started Folding on this iMac back in early 2010.
Would updating to 7.5.1 help or merely introduce other problems?
Thanks in advance.

[I really hate to do this, but I took the liberty - since it is my blog - of bumping up Notting Hill's rating to 6.5 stars out of 10. N.H. isn't a great movie, but I might have been overly harsh when I reviewed it]
Synopsis: Rich, famous and beautiful alpha females just LOVE meek, apologetic and non-threatening beta males, Example #...um...1.
Blurb From the VHS Jacket: "Anna Scott (Julia Roberts) is the world's most famous movie star. Her picture has been plastered on the cover of every magazine, and every time she makes a move, the entire world knows about it. William Thacker (Hugh Grant) owns a travel bookstore in the quaint neighbourhood of Notting Hill. His business is stagnant, he has the roommate from hell and his love life is nonexistent."
What Did I Learn?: see "Synopsis".
You Might Like This Movie If: You've always wanted to fall in love in a quaint, romantic part of London.
Really?: See "Synopsis".
Rating: Notting Hill is an semi-enjoyable little rom-com (I watched it by myself...that's depressing) which is comparable in some respects to High Fidelity and Peter's Friends. Notting Hill offers a few laughs (Rhys Ifans is great as William's slobby Welsh roommate), but it's a tad predictable, the music is awful, and I kept thinking to myself: "this would never happen in real life", especially when Anna goes ga-ga for William when he's in full sputtering /apology mode. 6.5/10 stars.

In the context of the Sustainable Penang/New Mobility 2014 program, the key to the success of the project lies in the identification and eventual preparation and implementation of concepts and measures which give more importance to non-motorized transport and public transportation than to the traditional uses of the private car. One of the concepts that came up early in the Focus Group brainstorming sessions was that of providing voice announcements for the blind and others with visual impairments on the new Rapid Penang bus services being developed across the state. In the following excellent list of needed measures prepared by the local NGO Saint Nicolas Home we see how thoroughly they are looking at the problems of mobility and access for the visually impaired. Thus it is not surprising that Saint Nicolas Home is emerging as one of the most engaged champions of this collaborative project for 2014. (We shall be seeing more about that project shortly here.)

IPL 2018 MI vs KXIP Prediction: For MI, knockout matches have come early
A loss against Kings XI Punjab in their last home encounter on Wednesday this season will put an end to Mumbai Indians' campaign for good. A win against R Ashwin's team, who are likely to be reeling just like their net run-rate presently following the shock loss to RCB in Indore, will keep MI alive, but only barely. They'll need other results to go their way and, of course, win their final league game against bottom-placed Delhi Daredevils in Delhi. Punjab had started the season on a canter but they don't seem to have recovered from the apparent state of inertia since the five-day break in between a couple of weeks ago. They've lost 4 of the 5 games in May after having lost only once in their first 6 games of the season. Ashwin will be hoping that the lull in the middle is over and that his team will regain the momentum from the early part of the campaign, and they couldn't ask for a better time for this. Two wins from here will confirm qualification. A loss though will them on shaky ground.
Top Heavy with bat and ball: This is not a slight against Chris Gayle but it somehow turns out that whichever team he plays for ends up being too top-heavy with their batting, especially when he is having a good time. It's in a way a sign of just how single-handedly dominant he ends up being at the top. This year he's found an able and equally destructive ally in KL Rahul, and the two have averaged 50 and 55.80 respectively. The problem though is that the next best performer with the bat for Punjab is Karun Nair, who's gone at 22.45 so far. The rest have had a shocker. Only Mayank Agrawal has even managed to score over a 100 runs overall in 11 outings. Interestingly enough, even their bowling has been too dependent on two bowlers — Andrew Tye and Mujeeb Ur Rehman. Ashwin has been decent but his lack of wickets, and an economy over 8, hasn't really allowed the Kings to maintain the pressure for too long.

We are challenged every day. With so much being said about innovation and design thinking permeating the corporate and management genres and being an instrumental tool in strategy formulations, the onus on design – especially from a 3600 perspective is the call of the day. And as one delves a little under the surface, one is more oft than not, confronted with aeons-old wisdom. A simple case of old wine in a new bottle!
Our stories have tried to enunciate this rootedness, time and again. And here we are, once again, sharing with you nuanced architectural and interior spaces that tend to look back to look forward. Check out the features- especially the House with Character by Abin Design Studio and the thematic hotel suites and leave us your views.
A new feather in the architecture-design community hat is the opening of the CEPT University's Architectural Archives Centre. India's first, this surely promises to be an invaluable resource centre for all involved in the passion and appreciation of building design.

Remember Nive Jayasekar, the 17-year-old high-school graduate who wowed Facebook executives with her knowledge of mobile-app development—so much so that they offered her a job on the spot?
Those Facebookers can stop holding their breath. Jayasekar just told us she's accepting a summer internship at the social network.
"I will be working as a partner engineer intern focusing on mobile app development," Jayasekar told us.
Full-time partner engineers work with other companies that want to integrate Facebook's social platform into their products.
Sounds like it will be great experience.
Jayasekar's been accepted at Carnegie Mellon University.

Download (1MB) | Preview
We propose a procedure for estimating the critical values of the extended Kolmogorov- Smirnov tests of Stochastic Dominance of arbitrary order in the general K-prospect case. We allow for the observations to be serially dependent and, for the first time, we can accommodate general dependence amongst the prospects which are to be ranked. Also, the prospects may be the residuals from certain conditional models, opening the way for conditional ranking. We also propose a test of Prospect Stochastic Dominance. Our method is based on subsampling and we show that the resulting tests are consistent and powerful against some N −1/2 local alternatives. We also propose some heuristic methods for selecting subsample size and demonstrate in simulations that they perform reasonably. We describe an alternative method for obtaining critical values based on recentering the test statistic and using full sample bootstrap methods. We compare the two methods in theory and in practice.

Plans To Merge Park House With St Mary's Hospital Move A Step Closer
Plans to merge Park House with St Mary's hospital have moved a step closer after councillors voted in favour of developing the scheme.
It follows an appraisal of the options for the care of elderly and vulnerable residents on the islands, produced by Five Square Solutions, a consultancy firm based in Plymouth.
The report was presented to councillors at Tuesday's Full Council meeting.
Options ranged from keeping the existing arrangements for the care home, Park House, through to removing all residential care on the islands and accommodating elderly residents on the mainland.
The costs of providing residential care in Scilly have been increasing and last year, councillors were warned that the authority would have to subsidise Park House by almost £300,000.
Fees for residents were raised to more closely reflect the costs of providing the service.
But several councillors have voiced concern over any plans to send residents to the mainland for care.
Instead, councillors have now chosen to develop a model which could see Park House being sold off and new residential care facilities developed, either at the current St Mary's hospital or a new, purpose-built facility near the current hospital and Health Centre.
That would have fifteen en-suite rooms with space to build a further five in the future.
Costs would range from around £2.2m up to £4.8m for the new build option. Officers say this would be paid for in part by the sale of the current Park House site for around £500,000 and the hospital for £1m.
Co-locating in a new building could also bring savings on running costs, they say.
Officers say domiciliary care would also be expanded across all the islands to ensure that elderly residents can remain in their own homes for as long as possible.
Cllr Christine Savill said she "did have hesitations" about the plans at one stage but added: "If we achieve this, it will be one of the biggest and most important things this council has ever achieved."
At previous meetings, Cllr Gordon Bilsborough had been vociferous in his opposition to elderly residents being moved to the mainland, describing it as "a death sentence."
But Cllr Bilsborough said the proposed plans to move to the hospital site, "should hopefully minimise the chance of Alzheimer's and dementia patients being sent to the mainland against the will of their loved ones."
Officers will now develop the plans and bring them back to the Council for approval.
4 Responses to Plans To Merge Park House With St Mary's Hospital Move A Step Closer
Having totally lost our Airport which just recently cost many millions to redevelop and our old Sec School worth many millions which is wastefully being scrapped are we now about to lose our Hospital and our Care Home also @ scrap value. If our new school cost £16m to build then what value are we about to give away Councillors? Is this value for money or are you just digging a deeper hole of debt? I'm sure there must be much better options than these. How much money have you wasted on advisors Councillors and who will be held responsible if it all goes horribly wrong once again and we lose millions in value? No one as usual. Perhaps you don't know the difference in value between a working building and an empty one priced only at its scrap value. This is the con. Adapting buildings to other more profitable uses can save many millions and even create income. We need to hold on to everything we own and just adapt our buildings to other profitable uses but that takes brains of course. That way our Council can be earning money instead of losing it. Altogether how much are all these brainless so-called experts costing us all? One day there will have to be a reckoning.
That will be about £6m then.
Given their frankly dismal track record I worry about our council having any part in shaping the future of eldercare. Even if their sentiments were right I no longer have any confidence in the decision making processes they employ or the calibre of the officers responsible for the service. Eldercare is as essential to the life of the community as education, it is equal in the community's assessment of the viability of the Islands as a home for life.
The leadership provided by our councillors is near non existent and I reflect on just how very badly we have been served in the tenure of the present chairman.
Eldercare needs unbiased and capable evaluation by those in touch and in tune with the long term needs of the whole community, something our council is no longer equipped to provide.
No doubt this latest scheme will have been fully researched, meticulous financial planning will have been conducted, any resulting contracts will be handled in the appropriate and legal manner and we can all look forward to utopia for our elderly residents.
Watch this space!

Brent crude, the global benchmark, rises above $31 a barrel but remains near lows last seen nearly 12 years ago
Oil prices rose for the first time in eight days on Wednesday as positive Chinese trade data and an unexpected draw in weekly US crude oil inventories gave investors reasons to buy crude futures.
Brent crude, the global benchmark, was up 63 cents at $31.49 a barrel at 1151 GMT, but remained near lows last seen nearly 12 years ago.
US West Texas Intermediate crude (WTI) was up 69 cents at $31.13 a barrel, recovering from Tuesday's dip below $30.
"The API inventory data triggered a profit-taking wave, that's the main reason for this uptick," said Hans van Cleef, senior energy economist at ABN Amro in Amsterdam.
"But the overall sentiment is still negative, meaning downside risk is still greater than upside potential."
US crude stocks fell unexpectedly last week, data from industry group the American Petroleum Institute showed on Tuesday.
Crude inventories fell by 3.9 million barrels in the week to 480.071 million, compared with analysts' expectations for an increase of 2.5 million barrels. Crude stocks at the Cushing, Oklahoma delivery hub fell by 302,000 barrels, the API said.
China reported exports dipped just 1.4 percent in US dollar terms in December, compared to forecasts of an 8 percent drop, positively surprising world markets.
The world's second-biggest oil consumer has also been taking advantage of the oil price rout to stock reserves and increase exports of refined products, and may be set to overtake the United States as the world's largest importer.
But the bearish outlook for oil remains. Analysts at Morgan Stanley warned on Wednesday that a rise in demand for crude could be lower than previously expected.
"Any slowing in the rate of demand growth could delay the timing of rebalancing and ultimately a price recovery," they said in a research note.
The potential for the calling of an emergency OPEC meeting also weakened on Wednesday when Iran's oil minister was quoted as saying he had not received any request for such a gathering.
Nigeria's oil minister said on Tuesday that a "couple" of OPEC members had asked for an emergency meeting.
Days ahead of the expected implementation of a landmark nuclear accord between Tehran and world powers, Iran briefly detained a group of U.S. sailors after they entered Iranian waters.
Iran released the sailors on Wednesday after holding them overnight, determining they had entered Iranian waters by mistake.

I've been using 3Essentials web hosting service for about 4 months now. Let me give you my history. A year ago or so I decided to go with Webhost4Life.com as my web hosting company. They were fine for about a month and I started to notice problems. Like when I would ftp my files it would fail. I would surf out to my website and it was down. This happened repeatedly over and over for the next 2 months. I logged more than 20 outages which is unacceptable to me. WebHost4Life did respond to my emails but they never fixed the problem. I realized that they were never going to provide the type of service I require so I went web host hunting. I found 3Essentials and decided to try them. The first thing I noticed was the speed! They were prompt with my setup problems and very helpful. 3Essentials web hosting is affordable, reliable, and very cheap. I give them a two thumbs up and recommend 3Essentials website hosting to everyone because I couldn't be happier with them!

I used this web hosting company for about 6 months and the reliability was terrible. I had problem after problem which they could not seem to resolve. Website is slow, must be using old servers or something. All i know is that my experience was below acceptable guidelines. So much for 99% uptime guarantee because they would not refund me even though they knew that their hardware reliability sucks. First they told me that their router was down. Then they told me that it was my problem. I don't know whether or not they were just having a hard few months but I can't recommend them anymore...

WebHost4Life.com offers many options especially for Windows Web Hosting. I have had been using this web host service for about 1.5 years with no problems. My website isn't very heavily used but my service with Webhost4life has been exceptional. I did have a problem about a month ago but it was a network issue and not their fault. If you need a cheap affordable service I recommend this company.

India's top digital wallet Paytm on Thursday reversed the 2% levy on top-ups via credit cards it had introduced a day earlier, saying it was doing so keeping users' convenience in mind and that it would instead put in place new mechanisms to check misuse.
"We are conscious that this move caused inconvenience to a large segment of our users, including those who are using credit cards for genuine transactions. Keeping the millions of customers and merchants interest as utmost priority, we have decided to suspend the 2% fees and will continue to build a series of features to curb such misuse," a company blog read.
On Wednesday, the One97 Communications Ltd-owned company had imposed the charge citing that several users were using its platform to get free credit—they would recharge their mobile wallet using a credit card and then transfer the money back to their bank account.
Paytm had gone on to say that some financially savvy users were exploiting this model to rotate money at Paytm's cost, and that the company was having to bear hefty charges for it.
Market share on mind? Interestingly, Paytm's decision to scrap the 2% fee comes right after rival MobiKwik announced, seizing the opportunity, that it will continue to offer "free uploading of money to its wallet, including from credit cards".
Even though it understands the loophole, MobiKwik is ready to bear the cost. A MobiKwik spokesperson had told VCCircle that those engaged in rotating money are a very small percentage, almost negligible, and MobiKwik wouldn't levy such charges in line with its focus on boosting customer acquisition and growing the number of transactions.
With MobiKwik's latest announcement clearly directed at gaining more customers and, perhaps, attracting some from rivals, it's likely that Paytm could have sensed a threat even though it's market leader by a distance. Paytm currently has 200 million customers (including individuals and merchants) while MobiKwik's individual user count stands at 55 million and merchant count is about 1.4 million.
In November, when the economy was reeling under the effects of demonetisation and Paytm was capitalising on the cashless rush, it had rolled back its App PoS (point-of-sale) feature just a day after a blockbuster launch. To announce that feature, Vijay Shekhar Sharma had hosted a huge press conference claiming the PoS feature was going to be a game changer in the digital payments space. However, just a day after the event, it discontinued the service.

Many of our teachers still use Safari as their browser of choice at our school. There's nothing wrong with this BUT, as a teacher who regularly uses Google Docs, Sheets, Slides, Keep & Forms as well as Gmail, there's a lot of advantages for switching to Chrome. Over the next week or so I am going to try to show a number of ways in which Google Chrome consistently proves to be a better choice - for me anyway! - in the classroom.
Extensions are little add-ons which make your browser experience better for you. I have several extensions in Google Chrome that I would not - and could not - live without.... For more great extension suggestions check out the awesome Kasey Bell's "Shake Up Learning" post here http://www.shakeuplearning.com/chrome-database/.
Tab Scissors and Tab Glue: two awesome extensions that allow you to split your browser so you have 2 windows side by side - a great way to compare sites, work in two windows at once, copy and paste information etc. And, when you're done, you 'glue' them back together with the click of a button.
Session Buddy: This awesome extension allows you to save and share a set of tabs very easily with the click of a button. Think about the times where you're doing research or conferencing with a student or opened up a plethora of flight comparison websites and you need to shut down your computer or go into another meeting. With Session Buddy it is very easy to save or share a 'session'.
Black Menu: For Google Apps users, this is a life-changer. From one button, you have instant access to all your Docs AND all your favourite Google Apps. Definitely worth a look!
Google Calendar: Easily view and add events to your Google Calendar
There are MANY more Extensions that are designed just to make your life easier - just go to the Chrome Web Store and try out a few - you won't regret it...! It is important to note that both Safari & Firefox also have extensions - I just like Chrome better :)
Why Google Chrome is better: Part 1... How to access Google Drive files offline
Many of our teachers still use Safari as their browser of choice at our school. There's nothing wrong with this BUT, as a teacher who regularly uses Google Docs, Sheets, Slides, Keep & Forms as well as Gmail, there's a lot of advantages for switching to Chrome. Over the next week or so I am going to try to show a number of ways in which Google Chrome consistently proves to be a better choice - for me anyway! - in the classroom.
1. Accessing Google Drive offline
I work in a school in the depths of Africa which is currently dealing with 'loadshedding', 8 hours a day of no electricity - which in many cases means no internet. Google Chrome allows you to access - and edit - files offline through Google Chrome - you just have to check a box in settings first... :)
Uploading to MB from an iOS device
For the past two years, this has been the challenge with our 1:1 program: no way of uploading to ManageBac using the student device.
This meant that they had to figure out the loooong work-around of emailing it to themselves and then accessing a desktop or laptop from school/home and uploading it from there.
Before Christmas, I discovered 'Doc Uploads' an affordable (it was $2 but now I see it is $6!) app that allows you to upload files and upload through its own browser... A life changer for a 1:1 iPad school that uses Managebac!
More recently a Grade 8 student showed me a new way too. It is now possible - through ManageBac itself, to upload direct from Google Drive - from the Google Chrome Browser App only. This is an awesome upgrade which is VERY useful for our 1:1 iPad school that uses ManageBac AND Google Apps for Education.
Good news all round!

Perfect Presentations: a draft!
This is a complete draft and I would love some suggestions and feedback. I want it to be a go-to source for all teachers and students from G3+ in our school... Let me know what you think :)
Creative Commons Image Resource Bank
Doug Peterson of 'Off the Record' fame created this amazing Symbaloo of loads of creative commons image resources. This is a perfect go-to resource for students who need high quality images. I decided to take these sites and add them to a Google Custom Search to make it easier for students to search for specific images - I hope Doug doesn't mind! I have embedded it below - not perfect but a start - let me know of any suggestions. How can we improve this?
Online Storage compared...
There are SO many options and it is very confusing... Here are three of the most common places to store in the cloud - and one recent discovery... :)
This post has been a long time coming! Even though I feel that there is a lot of information out there to support teachers and students with this, many of us still get it wrong. We BELIEVE that we are secure and safe but, especially with regular Facebook changes & updates, we are not!
Checking - and rechecking - your Settings
As a general guideline, you should only have 'friends' be able to see your updates. A great way to check is to 'view as' so you can see what different people AND the general public can see when they view your timeline.
I was shocked to see some extremely inappropriate spam on my timeline when I 'viewed as public' and was able to rectify the situation immediately. I strongly recommend that you 'view as public' regularly just to be sure...
Another important note is that if you upload from another device, the settings may differ allowing everyone to see photos that you have uploaded - worth checking!
Should I use a FB Page, a FB Group OR a blog?
Information summarized from this source and from my own thoughts. Please contact me if you are unsure of what to choose!

GEMS ICT Network Meeting 2
Another successful meeting kindly hosted by Mario and the rest of the team at Winchester School Dubai (Oud Metha) – thanks again for your hospitality! We had 13 attendees in total - an increase in the last meeting…!
Syed from The Westminster School, Dubai enthusiastically shared his iBooks Author created interactive 'textbook'. This prompted a lot of discussion about the use of iPads in the classroom especially in a BYOT environment AND the limitations of having device specific resources as opposed to cross-device options like Adobe DPS. Some interesting discussions... :)
Google Drive, once again, was a highlight of discussions - from the youngest to the oldest students! We discussed the sharing and collaboration features, auto-save, the ability to access - and edit - from any device and many other positives from our experiences. Tony shared a Process Journal from his school (created as a Google Presentation) where students could add images, videos as well as written work in a format created by the teacher. So basically an online workbook - amazing potential!
Any Other Business?
NEXT MEETING: Wednesday 29th January - anyone like to host? Let me know!

Best Devices for our BYOED Program
We have a 'Bring Your Own Educational Device' Program at our school and get a lot of questions from students and parents. One of the (many - see here for our FAQ's) most popular questions is 'What device will be best?' This changes every day, and depends on the student, the subject, the usage and MANY other factors. Basically WE tell them that it is really down to personal preference - what works best for them...
However, here is an article from TechRadar (thank you Dan Grabham!) which I believe could be VERY useful for those students/teachers/parents who are out looking for their next device.
Let me know if you find it useful - and which one you chose!
There are times in your life where a life-changing tool comes along AND as a tech specialist, this is one of those moments! One of our Science teachers (full credit to him - thank you Allan!) showed me the 'users' feature in Google Chrome settings (I am not sure how long it has been there?!) - if like me, you have multiple accounts for different purposes this is going to change YOUR life too! Watch the short tutorial below:
This is one of the biggest frustrations in our school - especially at this time of the school year. All the large files and photos have eaten a massive chunk of your inbox space and the dreaded 'INBOX FULL' message appears. The automatic response is to archive but I personally think there is a better way - that helps you manage and organise your emails better: use the 'large mail search' to delete the biggest emails... See below!

BMW Airhead (& some twins prior to Airheads) Motorcycles
Model differences over the years. Technical details of importance.
Including a chart on weights and capacities.
Plus information to identify the model/year, if you do not have a serial number, etc.
© Copyright 2018, R. Fleischer
Identifying the year of production by serial and/or VIN number:
Beginning in 1980, and the process not completed until sometime in 1981, U.S.A.-shipped bikes from BMW changed from a pure serial number to a Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). This new type of 'number' is a combination of numerals and alphabet letters, and the total length is always 17 characters. The tenth position character (beginning from the left) is the official production year. As an example, for 1980, that was an "A". Each year following was one letter further in the alphabet. I, O, Q, U, Z, were all skipped. Beginning in 2001, a digit was used, with 2001 being 1, 2002 being 2, etc. Non-U.S. models might not use the 17 character VIN number system. In every instance, BMW records can use the last seven characters, which are almost always just numbers to identify the year and model; and, indirectly, the color and how equipped when it left the factory. All brands of motor vehicles sold in the USA since the 1980-1981 transition era use the same 17 character VIN system.
For BMW vehicles, there can be confusion between the year of manufacture and the model year. This has sometimes caused problems with titles and registrations with various States. The actual "model year" motorcycle could have been produced near the end of the prior calendar year, due to the BMW company-wide vacation month in August and restart of production immediately after that vacation, in September. There are exceptions & anomalies ...most of these are such as when a BMW bike was manufactured even earlier and mysteriously is identified by BMW as the following year's model. This has happened with some Airheads and some Classic K bikes now and then. There is sometimes additional confusion, because, for 1984, BMW stopped stamping the last 7 characters of the 17 character VIN, always a 7 digit number, next to the oil dipstick of all engines.
For very considerably more information about VIN and Serial numbers, how to read all 17 characters of VIN's, the sequencing, the anomalies, etc. see the following article: http://bmwmotorcycletech.info/IDnumbrs.htm
"Airheads", for the purpose of this website, and this article, mean BMW motorcycles with the 2 cylinder boxer-layout engine style with two valves in each head, as produced beginning 12/1969 as 1970 /5 models. Airheads are generally considered as being in production into 1995 and possibly a few into 1996. Airheads are not the other boxer type motors that BMW produced, slangly called the Oilhead, Hexhead, etc. Those are considered air and oil cooled, and have a very different type of engine design, which are also all fuel injected. Slash 2 is used generically, to mean the models more or less immediately before the Airheads; that is, before 1970. I don't get deeply into them. They were generally produced in the fifties and sixties.
The details in this article are not to be considered to list every year's change. I will add details to this article now and then.

For the first time, pharmaceutical and medical equipment companies can more easily move their core business activities to the cloud.
When biomedical companies develop and test new products, they are required by law to employ management systems that prove that everything they do follows the rules concerning safety, quality and privacy. That includes the computers and software they use.
Because of the strict requirements, these industries have found it difficult to take advantage of one of the most important new capabilities the tech industry has to offer – cloud computing.
Today, IBM Watson Health is changing the game for the healthcare industry by introducing a new cloud service, IBM Watson Health Cloud for Life Science Compliance, which enables innovators to share data while maintaining and validating full compliance with federal regulations.
For the first time, pharmaceutical and medical equipment companies can more easily move their core business activities to the cloud.
Today we're announcing new offerings and partnerships and our new global headquarters, in Kendall Square in Cambridge, Massachusetts, home to one of the largest and most sophisticated life science and healthcare ecosystems in the world, and now home to IBM Watson Health.
This move represents another major step in our effort to bring the power of Watson to the healthcare industry. Since we launched our IBM Watson Health business unit last April, we've attracted a growing roster of partners spanning research, clinical care and community wellness.
IBM Watson Health's mission is to bring together the disparate communities within healthcare and give them the most complete information and the most sophisticated analytical tools so they can help people live healthier lives.
" We're helping to transform a complex and siloed system into a community that makes every step in the continuum of care more personal."
[Also on Longitudes: Cognitive Computing in the New Era of Discovery]
When we announced IBM Watson Health in April, we laid out the three key foundational elements of our strategy. Today, we're announcing progress on all fronts:
Data sharing: Our open, cloud-based platform, Watson Health Cloud, offers a foundation for data sharing, collaboration and application development across the entire spectrum of the healthcare and life sciences ecosystem.
We seeded the cloud with massive health data stores via acquisitions of companies that are leaders in health data analytics. We expect partners and clients to bring their own data and to aggregate data from multiple sources to get richer views of their areas of interest than were possible before.
The new Compliance Cloud is part of our Watson Health Cloud platform. There, our clients and business partners will be able to integrate Watson cognitive computing into their applications, and IBM itself will use the new platform as the basis for some of the healthcare industry solutions that we bring to market.
" The individual is not just a consumer of healthcare but a well-informed manager of their own health and happiness."
Today, we're announcing additional partnerships. For instance, ICON Clinical Research will tap into data in the Watson Health Cloud to accelerate the development of new treatment options for patients.
Boston Children's Hospital will use our technologies in its OPENPediatrics initiative, which brings life-saving medical knowledge to pediatric caregivers worldwide.
[Also on Longitudes: Digital Will Tear Apart Healthcare – And Then Rebuild It.]
Analytics: IBM's Watson cognitive technologies are powerful insight-producing tools for physicians, healthcare delivery systems, payer organizations, pharmaceutical researchers and other health professionals.
We're now bringing a new wave of analytics tools to the platform that will enable researchers, physicians and others to gain critical insights by mining a wide variety of data types, from medical imagery to electronic health records for large numbers of patients.
" Improved healthcare for our 8 billion inhabitants would provide immeasurable benefits."
The service guides medical researchers, physicians and healthcare payer professionals through step-by-step exploration of large collections of data so they can find patterns that help them understand what has already happened and predict what's likely to happen next. Their results are displayed in easy-to-interpret on-screen dashboards and graphics.
Looking ahead, you can expect to see more technologies, more acquisitions and more partnerships coming from IBM Watson Health. We'll also go global.
In the early 1960s, President John F. Kennedy inspired a nation with his promise to land a person on the moon. Today, Watson Health is IBM's moonshot. Our ambitions are great: Improved healthcare for the world's 8 billion inhabitants would provide immeasurable benefits for individuals, societies and the global economy.
But don't get me wrong. We know IBM can't "fix" healthcare by ourselves. This is a moonshot that the entire healthcare industry and the people who are served by it must journey on together.

The Surfaris were a bunch of high school kids from Glendora, CA. Closer to the Inland Empire than the beach. Nevertheless, they released arguably the most definitive surf instrumental - Wipe Out.
The single starts out with a board break, a laugh and someone saying 'wipe out.' To those of you unfamiliar with Southern California surf slang, a 'wipe out' is basically falling off your surfboard and becoming a victim of the waves.
I never knew much about these guys - or even what they looked like - until I came across this record.
The Surfaris Play Wipe Out, Point Panic, Waikiki Run, Surfer Joe (Decca 1963)
They never really did much else. Surf instrumentals became the domain of The Ventures and Dick Dale.
There was a bit of confusion on what this album is actually called. The spine simply says The Surfaris. The cover says The Surfaris Play Wipe Out, Point Panic, Waikiki Run, Surfer Joe.
The label calls the record simply Play by The Safaris.

Volvo S40 DRIVe Green car of the Year
Working to improve efficiency - the team behind the DRIVe-concept
2007 marked the beginning of what has proven to be a highly successful project at Volvo Car Corporation. Engineers faced the challenge of developing cars that would meet the levels required for government incentives of below 120 g/km of CO2 emissions. The team at Volvo Car was convinced that it was possible to achieve efficiencies to bring the Volvo cars to the same emission levels as in smaller sized vehicles.
So far, Volvo Car has presented two generations of the so called DRIVe range - models that are extremely fuel efficient with low environmental impact. And today, as a testament to the projects success, the S40 DRIVe has been awarded the prestigious What car? Green car of the year.
"Our target was set right at the beginning - we were going to do better than 120 grams, and we were going to do it without compromising the way the cars behaved. And that's what we've done," says Ulf Nordström, Industrial Project Leader for the DRIVe- initiative.
The project was given high priority by the executive management at Volvo Car Corporation and resources were available to quickly move from planning to testing and development.
No part of the car was left un-scrutinized when the project started working from an existing C30 with a 1.6-litre diesel engine. Aerodynamics, the powertrain, parasitic losses - all areas had to be looked into. The team started experimenting with modified spoilers, design changes to the front and rear of the car, and introducing underbody panels to improve the air flow. The chassi was lowered by around ten millimeters and air intake from the grill was reduced.
"The engineers in the aerodynamics group were incredible. They were given hammers and aluminium profiles and let loose to do what it took to get results," says Ulf Nordström.
No performance sacrified
Throughout the project, it was important to the team that handling and performance should not have to be sacrificed for lower emission levels.
"We kept customer benefits firmly in mind throughout the process", says Jonas Caspersson, Chief Powertrain Program Engineer.
Customers should be able to have a car that was highly efficient, with low impact on the environment and still fun to drive. In the end, many of the test-drives reported better acceleration, improved road-handling and higher comfort.
Start/Stop techinque added
During the process that led to the first launch of the C30, S40 and V50 DRIVe, the project team became convinced that it would be possible to improve results even further. In March 2009, at Geneva Motor Show, the next step was presented with the cars reaching emission levels of 104g/km through added Stop/Start technique and regenerative charge.
The second generation of S40 DRIVe is the car that has now been awarded with the Environmental Car of the year award from What Car?.
The project of improving conventional powertrains is part of delivering Volvo Car ambitious roadmap in reducing CO2-emissions. The vision is to work towards a future that is entirely emissions free.
"This is an important step of the journey to reach the targets we have set in CO2 reductions and we will continue to look for improvements on our existing combustion engines. Combined with our electrification plans and the launch of the plug-in hybrid in 2012, Volvo Car will be at the forefront in environmental care," says Peter Ewerstrand, CO2 Director.

The investigative report that Best Buy directors received over the weekend presented them with their second sensitive personnel situation in just a couple of months.
First they'd learned of what the report called an "inappropriate relationship" involving CEO Brian Dunn, leading to his April departure. Now they faced a situation that was in some ways even trickier: a report that reflected badly on company founder Richard Schulze, the man who has led Best Buy in one capacity or another for nearly half a century.
On Monday, the company announced that Schulze, too, would go.
"It's a rare company that will turn on its founder with any kind of real discipline," said Paul Hodgson, senior research associate at New York-based GMI Ratings, a governance researcher formerly known as the Corporate Library. "I think this was pretty strong."
Schulze is stepping aside for failing to alert the board's Audit Committee in December when he received a whistleblower's signed statement with allegations about Dunn's behavior. Several corporate governance experts on Monday gave the giant consumer electronics retailer good marks for its response to what one called a "coverup."
F. Daniel Siciliano, a law professor and head of Stanford University's Rock Center for Corporate Governance, said Schulze's departure was a "very good sign" that corporate governance is being taken seriously by the company's independent directors, who asserted their power.
"The board acted pretty quickly and decisively about the chair's coverup," Siciliano said. "That behavior is more clearly inappropriate than the CEO's behavior. Sitting on an allegation? There is no real excuse."
Schulze steps down as chairman on June 21 and will serve out the remainder of his term as director through June 2013. He also becomes founder and chairman emeritus, an honorary position that allows him to continue to keep an office at Best Buy's Richfield headquarters, and for him and his wife to receive medical insurance benefits.
The board also said it will support a shareholder proposal to vote on all directors every year.
Some thought the board should have done even more, noting that Schulze remains a director and that Dunn walks away with a goodbye package worth more $6 million.
Jeffrey Sonnenfeld, senior associate dean for executive programs at the Yale School of Management, said he found the board's response to both Dunn and Schulze "amazing" in its leniency.
Schulze should not be on the company's board in any capacity, he said, and Dunn should not have been rewarded given Best Buy's recent struggles. He said he couldn't understand the payments "unless they're paying him for silence about somebody else who has been in cahoots here."
"Could this company have done any worse without a board of directors? They had zero value here," he said. "Shame on this board."
"The best they could hope for is that Wal-Mart would hire this guy."
Best Buy officials defended Dunn's severance package, arguing that the payments were "fair value" given the length of Dunn's no-compete period. Normally companies and ex-CEOs agree to a one-year period, but Dunn can't work at a competitor for three years.
B. Espen Eckbo, founding director of the Lindenauer Center for Corporate Governance at Dartmouth's Tuck School of Business, said the decision to keep Schulze around probably reflects Best Buy's deep financial challenges. The big-box retailer lost $1.2 billion last year as it slashed prices to keep pace with more nimble rivals Amazon and Wal-Mart.
"My sense is that the board is trying to handle this in a decisive but not panicky way," Eckbo said. "They are sidelining [Schulze] without necessarily losing the input of all his experience. It's hard to generalize whether he should have been pushed all the way out at this point or not."
Millions for ex-CEO Dunn
As for signing off on Dunn's separation agreement, Best Buy's directors probably had less latitude on that decision, several noted. Dunn receives a package worth more than $6 million, including a $1.14 million bonus for the company's fiscal 2012 year, which just ended, and a $2.85 million severance payment, despite findings that Dunn used "extremely poor judgement" and violated company policies.
Rotten judgment and policy violations aren't enough to cut payments, said Hodgson, at GMI Ratings.
"Clearly he violated company policy, but employment agreements are written very, very carefully and that will not be reason to terminate somebody for cause, which is what you need in order to withhold the money," Hodgson said. "From my experience the only thing that leads to cause is a felony charge of some kind."
Dunn likely would have sued his former employer if it withheld severance, Hodgson said, and such costly litigation is the last thing the struggling company needs at the moment.
Former Best Buy CEO Brad Anderson, reached at his home in Minneapolis, said he was "still perplexed by the story."
"Why is Brian Dunn getting a severance package?" Anderson asked.
