Search for Haitian boy results in hundreds of children Rescued from human trafficking rings

PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti — It was Super Bowl Sunday. Across America, people were having parties, eating hot wings and watching the big game.

Meanwhile, in Haiti, a group of Americans docked a yacht outside a small resort for what appeared to be a pre-game party on the beach. But their minds were not on football; they were on children.

Timothy Ballard and his team at Operation Underground Railroad (OUR), a nonprofit organization that fights human trafficking, worked undercover pretending to purchase young girls for sex. A Super Bowl party was the perfect disguise to lure in suspected human traffickers.

“They were so grotesque,” Ballard said, “talking about 10-year-old kids and what they were going to do; talking about them like they were selling computer parts.”

Ballard said the men sold him 20 minors as young as 11 years old and nine 18-year-olds — all of them trafficked for sex. “These kids were the subject of child pornography, videos that were being distributed outside of Haiti. Some of the kids had been branded as property,” he said.

When police arrived, they arrested nine men from three separate human trafficking rings and liberated 29 victims.

Ballard’s team has been conducting missions like this in Haiti for more than three years. They originally went to the country looking for Gardy Mardy, an American born in St. George, Utah, who was kidnapped outside an LDS church building in Haiti shortly before his third birthday.

OUR’s very first bust rescued 28 children from an illegal orphanage where kids were being sold. Ballard said he was humbled by Guesno Mardy’s reaction when he told him his son was not found in that initial attempt. He remembers the father saying, “If I have to lose my son so that your team could come and rescue these 28, that is a burden I am willing to bear.”

The search for Gardy led to more busts throughout Haiti and into the Dominican Republic. “We’ve rescued over 100 kids just on that island,” Ballard said, “and we’re on that island because of Gardy.”

Guesno Mardy is now a regular volunteer on the OUR team, serving as an interpreter and a liaison with Haitian police, but his satisfaction is bittersweet. He runs an orphanage in Haiti where some of the victims rescued by OUR now reside.

“When I think about it, myself caring for other people’s kids and knowing that my own child is at the hand of criminals, not being protected or loved, it is painful,” Guesno Mardy said. “But I understand it is part of my trial on this earth and I bear it.”

Guesno Mardy and his family have shed a lot of tears over the last seven years. Gardy would be 10 years old now.

“I’m just hoping and praying that we’ll find him alive, in whatever condition that might be at the moment. I’d be happy with that,” Guesno Mardy said.

With each bust OUR makes, Ballard remains optimistic they will find the first child they set out to save.

“We continue to look for Gardy. We’ll never stop,” Ballard promised. “What we’ve realized is the more that we look for this little boy, the more time we spend on this island, the more kids we end up rescuing.”

Since its inception a little over three years ago, OUR has rescued more than 600 victims in 15 different countries. Ballard said they’ve also helped police arrest about 280 traffickers and pedophiles.

How Infographics Go Wrong – Keep These In Mind…

Infographics are an amazing tool to generate enormous traffic because they can relate to every type of reader. For example, people will visit your blog from all over the world and illustrations like infographics can get the point across to them quickly. Infographics are very efficient at the same time because they can compress thousands of words into a language that everyone understands. Another example of this can be seen from the growth of, which was amazing over the last couple of years. However, it’s important to know how to utilize infographics correctly because many bloggers make mediocre mistakes that are very costly. In the end, what good are infographics if they fail to get your main point across and don’t generate the type of buzz you planned for when publishing?

I conducted some research online and managed to come up with 4 tips that will help you avoid some of the common mistakes. Implement them into your marketing going forward, which will increase engagement and conversions. Let’s get started and look at how infographics go wrong and what you can do to correct the issue.

Too Much Text

One of the biggest mistakes you can make when publishing an infographic is having way too much text. Infographics are supposed to be easy to understand because they compress lengthy content into an illustration. Your main objective should be to get your point across through images, charts, and very little text. In other words, you should make sure your infographic is right to the point and the images do MOST of the work for you. However, I can’t believe how many people don’t take this advice and add too much text, making it cluttered. Having way too much text will decrease overall engagement, especially because people are probably on your page to find an easy way to absorb valuable content.

The trick is to keep text limited to ONLY getting the main point across. I recommend using bullet points for any type of text you’ll be adding to your infographic to illustrate a point. Keep in mind, too much text will destroy any infographic, no matter how attractive or optimized the design.

Inaccurate Data

Here’s something else you should keep in mind because this will destroy your infographic. A majority of times, these types of illustrations have been used to help illustrate a case study so will contain charts and numbers. One of the ways to destroy your infographic is to have numbers that don’t match with the corresponding charts or graphs. You have to remember, many people who visit your page are experienced so know when data does NOT make any sense, having made this mistake will destroy your credibility quickly and people will leave and might NOT even come back. You have to keep in mind, people are looking for a credible source of information to provide them with the knowledge they are looking for and inconsistent or inaccurate data is a quick way to destroy this.

The Internet is full of information and people need to find what they are looking for right away. This means getting right to the point on your infographics, but this also means to get rid of any data that doesn’t provide value. I can’t count the number of times I’ve skim over infographics and found some data to be completely irrelevant. If you want to increase engagement and build credibility, then pay attention to what you’re adding to your infographic. For example, write down and have your main purpose right in front of you when building your infographic because this will help guide you through the process. This will also make sure you stay relevant to your topic, providing information that answers the bottom line.

  • Keep objective in mind
  • Know your focus
  • DO a review before publishing making sure information is relevant

The Design

The design of your infographic is very important because it will either increase engagement or push people away. For example, think about how design plays a crucial role on your website and what it does for your audience. Having the navigational menu makes it easy to find information and colors that are easy on the eyes will allow people to stay on the page WITHOUT experiencing eye strain. Anyway, keep these things in mind when designing our infographic, minus the navigational menu, of course. Here are a few key components to pay close attention to:

  • Text size should be big enough to easily read
  • Font style should be universally accepted on all browsers
  • Font color should be clear to read
  • Infographic colors should be easy on the eyes so people are relaxed when viewing
  • Charts and graphs should be easy to read
  • Not too much clutter so you have space around the text, charts, titles, etc.

Giggly Veronica Roth excited for Divergent Movie

Divergent author Veronica Roth has revealed her excitement about the forthcoming film adaptation of her debut novel.
The 25-year-old, who recently completed the Divergent trilogy with the release of Allegiant, told Digital Spy that she is "giggly" at the prospect of seeing her novel turned into a movie
"I've never seen behind that curtain before," she said. "Now I see that it's tough to make a movie. There's a lot of detail. It makes me a little giggly."

We are giggly too Veronica! The countdown to March is on.... The article also talks about how Veronica Roth came up with some ideas for Divergent.... while studying exposure therapy..
"Exposure therapy is when they repeatedly expose someone to a thing that stimulates their fear response in a safe environment," she explained.
"Someone who's afraid of heights is continually put in a glass elevator because it's safe but it's high.
"I thought it would be interesting if someone were to apply that therapy technique to regular, healthy people to make them fear something.
"That was where the idea came from. It all started with the creepy stuff and the rest sort of came out around it."

I love the idea and the story of how she came to create the Dauntless faction!
Asked if she is hoping to see all three of her Divergent novels turned into movies, Roth replied: "That'd be cool. I hope that it does well and people like it but obviously there's no guarantee."

True... but I have a feeling she has nothing to worry about... if every fan of the book sees the movie once, she is set...

Orcas Island, Day 4

We were all looking forward to this part of the trip - a visit with the Orcas!

On the way to the hotspot!

We went by an island, which I cannot remember the name of, where a bunch of a certain deer have been naturalized - really more like an antelope that comes from...  I want to say China...  Argh, I have a terrible memory!
There be critters in this picture, probably too small to spot lol.

Our tour guide - total crackup - kinda old biker energy.
We saw lots of whales, but you have to stay pretty far away from them.  Although sometimes if they come right by the boat, you get lucky.

First glimpse, way in the distance.

This was one of those lucky times, and the closest we got.

Up on the second story!

Kids on deck!

Ron didn't bring a hat or a jacket, so he stole my new scarf.

Kids had enough of being outside.  Glad they had another activity.

Seals, looking like they are floating.

Our captain.

Spotted a bald eagle on the way back.  Can you find it?

We’ve written about why the ingredients used in our salsas are not only delicious but also very healthy. Since ingredients like bell peppers have a number of health benefits, using any of our salsas in a variety of different ways can help every member of your family truly enjoy eating well on a consistent basis. To help you get inspired, we want to share some awesome ways to use our salsas to create family friendly snacks:

1.  Pretzel Poppin’ Good

If chips are the first thing that comes to mind when you think of pairing something crunchy with salsa, you’re definitely not alone. However, that doesn’t mean there aren’t other tasty options. Even though it may seem a little outside the box, pretzels go really great with salsa. The best way to fully enjoy this salty crunch is by going with crispy knot pretzels.

2.  Celery and/or Veggie Chips

Many of the best snacks involving salsa include something crunchy. While our first suggestion can keep calories pretty low, there may be times when you want to complement the all-natural ingredients in our salsa with something that’s equally as fresh. Celery is a great option for this type of snacking. And if you’re looking for a snack that bridges the gap between tortilla chips and vegetables like celery, veggie chips are a great choice.

 3.  Pita Bread

The next family friendly snack idea you should try is pairing Mama Flasch’s salsa with pita bread. What’s great about pita bread is it has a tasty but subtle flavor. This allows the salsa to really shine. An added benefit is the size and texture of pita bread makes it great for scooping.

 4.  Carrots

While we’ve already touched on a few way to pair additional veggies with salsa for a tasty snack, no list would be complete without mentioning carrots. We totally get that this one may sound a little weird at first! But if you think about how often carrots are paired with ranch, it’s easy to see how something with as much tasty flavor as Gregular salsa can go great with these crunchy treats.

 5.  Rice Cakes or Crackers

Although rice cakes are popular thanks to their low-calorie count, they aren’t a snack known for having great flavor. You can change this by pairing them with our salsa. And if your family has a few favorite types of crackers, chances are everyone will like them even more when paired with some delicious salsa.

Now that we’ve covered some awesome ways for your family to enjoy Mama Flasch’s salsa, all you need is a jar of Gregular salsa to get started. And we know there are a lot of other yummy ways for your family to enjoy our salsa. So if you have a favorite recipe of your own, be sure to share it with us!

I wok out

As you may recall, this month I am focusing on one of my core values: order.

In the midst of losing my mind, I've actually managed to complete quite a few projects (that I promise to share by the end of the month).

I have clean(er) closets, less junk in the (junk) drawers, (mostly) complete baby books, fewer mementos in the hope chest, more labels...

I even have some ideas and plans for organizing my blog life--thanks to fabulous readers like yourself.

I figure if you can help me get my social media under control then you should definitely be able to help me in an even more disorganized area of my life--the kitchen.

I can throw out. I can label. I can re-organize the pantry shelves. I can clear counter tops.

Unfortunately, I am not very good at actually utilizing the kitchen for its intended purpose: cooking.

We've tried E-Mealz. We've tried freezer cooking. We've tried crock pot cooking. Ultimately, we find take-out or dining out is most efficient. Considering eating out means taking two toddlers along, well, that should tell you something.

Maybe I am exaggerating (slightly). We've had some success with planning meals in advance and then trying to shop once a week. Last night, I hit a culinary homerun with a stirfry dish I whipped up in a wok that I had forgotten we owned. A little chicken, some veggies, teriyaki sauce, and rice, and BAM!

Marty and the babies loved it! And, I didn't even tell them it only took 15 minutes!

Could an inner cook be hiding in there, just waiting to be inspired??

I'd love to hear from you--

  • Do you have a favorite low-prep (healthy) recipe?

  • How do you handle meal planning?

  • Any favorite websites you use for recipes?

  • Tips for making my kitchen life more organized?

KERRY said...

When it comes to meal planning, I have lost my way lol
I used to be so organised I even had a little chalkboard where I would write down the week's menu and I would make sure I had everything I needed (maybe you could buy a whiteboard?). Most days now I don't know what is for dinner until dinner time! The key is to grocery shop :) I do have a genius plan for you to store your sauces, oils, salt, pepper etc in your pantry - wait for it...a Lazy Susan!!! Do you know what that is? That thing that swivels around (meant for a table centrepiece)so no more reaching for bottles in your pantry, you just give it a little whirl :)
I also keep my spice rack in my pantry to clear up bench space near the stove.
I had to chuckle at the fact that you forgot you owned a wok!! :)

Tasha said...

Find what works for you! Make it fun! If it is all homemade than GO FOR IT! If it is semi-homemade...then do it. My point is you have to just get in there and do something. It took me almost 7 years to get back in the kitchen after I had my twins. I am on fire now! And loving it!
I don't think you can really organize your kitchen until you are in there cooking. Then that gives you an idea of where to change things.
I look all over the web for recipes. Plus you just can't go wrong with the old Better Homes and Garden Cookbook! Or the Pioneer Woman.
As you know from my blog I am learning to make basics and things we love.
Now go make those biscuits this Saturday!!

Anne said...

I love easy recipes like pasta and curries. You can add as much fresh vegetables as you want according to the season and what suits your family best! Can't go wrong with casseroles either, they practically cook away themselves in an oven dish. Hope this helps a bit!

Julia said...

I always forget we have a wok too!

Much to my husband's dismay. I try to cook vegetarian at least once a week.

Our favorite is shitaake mushrooms, bell peppers, green onion, and egg. Toss that with some rice, and favor with soy sauce---love it! And---there's lots of good color in there, which I think means that it's heathy (when they're vegetables and not Skittles), or something. :)

Dvr Dame said...

Good for you! I'm pretty anal about organizing so shopping once a week is easy for me. Keep up with good work.

Kathy Radigan said...

I ask the kids what they would like to eat and I pretty much go from there. We have our own fav's and regulars like tonight's pasta and meatballs, but I'm always on the lookout for some good quick recipes. Good luck!! Love you!

Brad Jenkins said...

Step 1 - put meat on grill.

Step 2 - put vegetables on grill.

Step 3 - turn meat and vegetables.

Step 4 - Eat.

Easy enough?

MandyE (Twin Trials and Triumphs) said...

Another great question!!!

I used to love to spend two or three hours in the kitchen on Sunday, making a big meal. If I timed it right, we could eat two or three meals from it, and then we'd coast 'til the weekend, when we'd eat out. That was before kiddos, though. ;)

I do not have two or three hours to devote to the kitchen these days (!!!), so I've really revamped the way I do things. I make a lot of meals ahead...assemble casseroles at night that I can just pop in the oven the next day, or get things ready to go in the crock pot the next morning. If I do have to cook something from start to finish, I try to at least do my prep ahead of time...chopping veggies, usually.

My cheater meal is frozen cooked shrimp. I like to thaw it in the fridge a day ahead of time, but if I forget, it can be thawed under running water. I also keep frozen fish filets (tilapia, salmon, with no breading or anything) on hand. That's easy to thaw in 10 minutes and bake in about 15 minutes. The girls love the shrimp and the fish.

As for meal planning, I try to think about what I want to have for the week as I make my grocery list. For a long time I kept a food diary, so to speak. At the end of the week, I'd write down what we'd eaten that week (lasagna, chili, pork loin...whatever). Then when I'd feel stuck, not knowing what to fix some time, I could glance back and get some ideas.

I use a lot. I have a couple of favorite recipes I'll send you if you'd like. Do you like shrimp? Chicken?

You seriously have to assemble some of the comments from some of these posts! :)

Robin said...

I like Brad's comment; grilling and bbq'ing are great ways to eat healthy and efficiently.
But, I -like some of the commenters above- have lost my way a little when it comes to organization. Always a challenge to get a meal on the table for my big crew! Thanks for sharing this

Miss Megan said...

Meal planning and cooking is hard for us too (and was especially difficult during the first trimester of pregnancy for me because NOTHING sounded good - lol). We did a lot of take out and eating out (but the good stuff, not McD's or Taco Bell). And it was expensive! We had to stop...we were blowing SO much money!
Now we use a dry erase board and write our dinner plans for the week on the board, then shop accordingly. I try to schedule more time consuming dishes on days when we are home (Sat, Sun, Wed), and the easy meals (like tacos, spaghetti, etc.) on nights I know we don't have a ton of time. I also try to cook in bulk so the girls can have leftovers for lunches, and at least once a week we can have leftovers from the rest of the week for dinner. I have also dabbled in making and freezing food so that's always a nice option too! (so, for example, you would make a double batch of lasagna over the weekend, eat it for one meal, leave enough in the fridge for another meal, then freeze the rest in meal size portions to grab and defrost whenever you want!).
You will figure out what works for you! My DH has actually taken a keen liking to the kitchen, so he has started cooking about 4-5 nights a week. It's nice that then we can swap and it isn't always the same person in the kitchen =).
Oh, something else we do - we always try to keep chicken breasts on hand in the freezer. They can be thawed quickly and cook in about 30 minutes...BBQ chicken, chicken and rice, chicken stir fry, chicken tacos....=). Same with hamburger (although I find it more difficult actually to decide what to do with hamburger - meatballs, tacos, spaghetti, sloppy joes????)
Good luck!

Jennifer said...

First off, I must thank you for getting "sexy and I know it" stuck in my head! lol. Second, I saw the wok picture and had to say... get yourself some "five spice" seasoning because it is amazing and makes any stir fry yummy! In my humble opinion of course...

My meal planning pretty much consists of take out as well. But recently I've discovered my grocery store's web site, they have recipes on there and you can pick one (or more) out and it will add all the ingredients to your shopping list, then you can print it out! So you pretty much only have to sit down one day and pick out the recipes you want to make, save them or print them, and then you'll have your list and your recipes for the week. I went to, and you can definitely use their web site even if you don't have one by you, it will still do all that fun stuff for you, but when you have a Publix to go to, you can set a particular store as "your store" and when it makes your shopping list, it tells you what isle everything is in in your store! It is so awesome!!

Always Heather said...

I tend to use the crockpot a lot! It helps keep me sane..and there are some really easy recipies out there... Congrats on your stir fry :)

Olusola said...

Sauces in the fridge/freezer and lots of rice. Freezing some of our basics - beans, tomato and vegetable sauce, boiled chicken - helps me a bit. Pasta with store-bought sauce

Liz @ A Nut in a Nutshell said...

I am all over the place for recipe inspiration, but I go through phases on cooking. I love the crockpot but usually just once a week on that.

Coughing in cats - should you be concerned?

Coughing in cats is a symptom of a problem, rather than a problem in its own right. When the cough receptors in the larynx (the area at the back of the throat), the trachea (windpipe) or the bronchial tree (smaller airways), are stimulated or irritated a cough will result.  There are many reasons why this can occur and you should have your cat checked by a vet if you notice that your cat is coughing to ensure that the problem is identified and treated accordingly.

It is very common in cats for a cough to be followed by a vomit due to the force of the coughing. If you can describe what is happening in as much detail as possible it will help your vet differentiate between a respiratory and a digestive system problem.

Common causes of coughing in cats

The following is a brief but not exhaustive list of some of the causes of coughing in cats.

Feline asthma is a common allergic respiratory disease in cats and the more severe form can be accompanied by wheezing. It is a chronic progressive disease for which there is no cure, but the symptoms can be well managed (as with people with asthma).

Irritation of the airways mainly occurs due to inhaled liquids, irritant gases or foreign bodies.

Inflammation of the airways is a common outcome following irritation. It is also seen associated with viral (cat flu), bacterial, fungal and parasitic (lungworm) infections.

Tumours can develop in the upper respiratory tract (mouth and/or throat) or lower respiratory tract (lungs). Clinical signs will depend on where the mass is located and whether it is an isolated mass or diffusely spread throughout the lungs.

Nasopharyngeal polyps are benign growths that grow in the area at the back of the throat. They can block the nose and cause the cat to cough or reluctantly breathe through their mouth.

What will your vet ask?

The first thing your vet will need to do is differentiate between a respiratory and a digestive system problem, as this will guide the investigation.  Generally most cats don’t perform on queue and won’t cough or vomit in the vet clinic, so your detailed description will help in narrowing down the possibilities.

Here is a list of questions to consider prior to going to the vet:

  • What actually happens? Describe the cough, duration, frequency, and the general characteristics of your cat’s cough.
  • Is there something brought up when your cat coughs? Eg. white frothy fluid/ mucus/ hairballs or food?
  • Is there a time of day when it is more prevalent? At night or in the morning?
  • How long has it been going on?
  • Does your cat have a decreased or increased appetite?
  • Has your cat lost weight despite eating a lot of food?
  • Has your cat’s breathing changed (become more rapid or noisier)?
  • Have they started snoring when asleep?
  • Has there been any change in behaviour? Eg. sleeping more, change in voice.
  • Has your cat been in a cattery/ had access to or been in fights with other cats recently?

If your cat has been coughing, it is advisable to make an appointment to get them checked by your vet.  Once a diagnosis is made, your vet will provide you with more details on your cat’s problem and what can be done to ensure the best possible outcome for your cat.

I'd had one of "those days" at work.

You know, that kind of day... I really, really didn't want to be there. People who normally didn't bother with me or the account I worked on were suddenly hanging around, having meetings, asking questions. Projects I'd worked on months ago were landing back on my desk with issues. Everyone around me was in a mood, the atmosphere was tense, and people (myself included) were getting snippy.

I couldn't go home... piles of work on tight deadlines meant I was going to have to stay late, not leave early, regardless of how crappy I felt. Ugh. It was one of those days where I seriously question how I make my living. There has to be something better.... right?

Then I did this.

Mixed media includes collage (type written text and the face), Tar Gel, and acrylic paint. The hand writing is
in white acrylic paint pen in between layers of both fluid and heavy body paint. I think I may try this kind of thing
 on a large canvas, maybe incorporating some transfers... it will be tricky, but could be lots of fun.

Down, But Not Out: Still Time for IBM to Adapt to Cloud IT

By | February 17, 2015

Disruptive technologies are a time-tested means of upending the business environment. Remember Western Union? No, not the money order company, but the one that lost its communication empire to Bell Telephone. How about former business giants like Kodak, Motorola, WorldCom and most recently, Radio Shack, that once dominated their field and are no longer with us. All were undone by better mousetraps. The same fate awaits IT vendors who persist in defending stale technologies and business models: adapt or die.

IT is in a period of tumultuous change fueled by cloud and mobile technologies that field existential threats to titans like IBM, HP and even Microsoft, all once thought to be bed rocks of corporate stability (and profitability). As I discuss in this column, disruptive technologies spawning innovative new products and services have created seemingly unprecedented shifts in customer behavior, competitive landscape and profit margins that are severely affecting legacy IT vendors like IBM. A previous column focused on the damage inflicted on Big Blue and others, but argued that the financial and organizational pain has a silver lining for customers in the form of better products and services at lower prices: Survival of the Fittest as applied to business. Although it might have appeared I was writing IBM’s obituary, I don’t believe the company, or competitors like HP, Dell, SAP and others that have long sustained fat profit margins off of equally fat corporate IT budgets and overworked, under trained IT staffers, are in, or necessarily approaching an irreversible death spiral. Yet the old tech all-stars face a dramatically different business environment than the that in which they grew to dominance.

Today’s IT disruption results from the nexus of several factors:

  • rapidly commodified technology
  • universal network connectivity and globalized markets
  • significantly greater IT economies of scale promoting larger consolidation of infrastructures
  • enormous data generation and accumulation resulting in deeper data analysis and business insights
  • a consumer preference for services over products and subscriptions over purchases

Collectively these have created what some call the As-a-Service EconomyIndeed, as these charts illustrate, the growth of services as a share of total economic consumption is a trend going back decades, while IT spending on services relative to hardware, which was already several times higher, has increased by 25% over the past few years.

As I detail in the column, IBM already generates almost 87% of its revenue from software and (mostly) services, the problem is they are the wrong kind in the era of XaaS and utility IT services. IBM’s Global Services business specializing in developing, deploying and supporting complex, customized IT services built upon a foundation of on-premise, big iron hardware and software. IBM-Rev-Breakout_pie-2014Given the overstretched IT resources in large enterprises, where upwards of 80% of the effort is spent on sustaining existing IT services, the consulting, design and implementation business has been quite lucrative for Big Blue.

To prosper in the era of utility IT services, IBM refocus on delivering standardized, modular, usage based services that are easily integrable with third-party products. Instead of concentrating on consulting, design and implementation of one-off IT systems, IBM must rechannel its technical prowess towards building XaaS products and integration services for the as-a-service-economy.

Yet IBM isn’t starting from nothing, it already has thousands of developers, working on hundreds of projects in support of cloud and software services. Indeed the company is one of the leading contributors to OpenStack and 120 other open source projects having spent over $1 billion on Linux development alone. The company bought Softlayer to bolster its cloud infrastructure and service delivery and now reports total cloud revenue running $7 billion, up 60% yr-yr, with the as-a-service run rate amounting to $3.5 billion. The company has another promising services business in Watson Analytics, where the company is making a large, but wise bet on commercializing the quiz-show winning software into an extensive cloud platform with the goal of building a data analytics ecosystem. As my column concludes, IBM’s problem isn’t technology, it’s legacy: the company simply has too many people to support a lean, utility-like IT environment based on shared, open and extensible services built upon standardized hardware components.

In sum, IBM has the resources and skills needed to evolve into IBM 3.0 or 4.0, but it’s unclear whether it has the executive vision, will, talent and finesse to make the transition without wrecking the company in the process. When you’re dealing with a 400,000-employee, multinational behemoth, turning IBM into some hybrid of AWS, Google and Salesforce is akin to rebuilding an airliner in mid-flight. It’s also the perfect way for CEO Ginni Rometty to justify her big bonus.

As a commenter to my previous column pointed out, IBM has been through similarly challenging transitions before and come out more vibrant, innovative and profitable than ever. Successfully evolving Big Blue to the cloud-based as-a-service economy will prove similarly difficult and stressful, but given the firms many financial, technical and employee assets, it’s entirely achievable. I look forward to following its progress.

Why Bad News For IBM Is Good News Your Business, But Only If IT Exploits

By | February 8, 2015

The news from IBM, which has been uniformly grim for years, gives the impression of a venerable tech giant in a death spiral. I don’t succumb to such fatalism and believe Big Blue’s problems aren’t terminal, indeed my next column will offer suggestions for how it can adapt to the new world order of cloud IT. Still, there’s no denying that IBM has been making headlines for all the wrong reasons. As I detail in this column, after another weak quarter that saw IBM report the 11th straight decline in revenue, the company had to fend off doomsday rumors of impending employee cuts on a scale rarely seen outside of corporate bankruptcy. Yet the problems buffeting IBM (note that mega-investor Warren Buffett isn’t one of them) stem from disruptive technology and the resultant shift in business strategies that result from the evolution of IT into a utility-like service, aka the cloud. Declining profit margins and, in the case of HP and IBM also revenues, at established IT vendors like Cisco, HP, IBM and Microsoft are a sign that competitive pressures from alternative technology providers is working. The benefits of this disruptive shift largely accrue to customers, the buyers of IT products and services.

IBM’s revenues have been declining for years, but it’s margins held up until taking a precipitous plunge this year and while the company is too large and complex to pin the cause on any single factor, enterprise acceptance of cloud services and the escalating price war among the big three IaaS providers, Amazon, Google and Microsoft, are clearly major contributors. Data aggregated by RedMonk illustrates declining rates for basic IaaS services.

Cloud pricing has been called a “race to zero” by some analysts and ironically, IBM’s own Softlayer division (acquired in mid-2013) is price competitive with the big three. The problem for IBM, but also HP, Dell, Oracle, Cisco, EMC and every other large technology provider built upon (and used to) fat margins from proprietary systems and overpriced support contracts, is supporting competitive cloud pricing given their existing corporate overhead. Cloud services, namely selling canned infrastructure at $25-30 per virtual machine per month, threatens the existing businesses of traditional IT infrastructure suppliers and calls into question the sustainability of their entire business model. Amazon, the IaaS price leader and trendsetter, is doing to IT infrastructure and its vendors what it did to packaged goods and local retailers, decimating their margins through a combination of technology, scale and ruthless competitiveness. RBC Capital Cloud Price Comparison Source: RBC Capital / Business Insider

As I discuss in the column, the market cloud services while small is exploding. IDC estimates that spending on all forms of cloud services will have “five-year compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 22.8%, which is about six times the rate of growth for the overall IT market.” If correct, IDC estimates that by 2018, “public IT cloud services will account for more than half of worldwide software, server, and storage spending growth.”

One look at cloud pricing illustrates the challenge to old tech IT vendors. Google posted a detailed pricing example designed to illustrate its advantages versus AWS, however its numbers present an even starker contrast with the costs for traditional on-premise IT equipment. Using a prototypical three-tier application with server four components, each independently scalable depending on load, the analysis shows that the monthly cost on would be just over $1,000 on Google CLoud: $910 for the base load and $110 for peak capacity to handle 10x loads several times a day. Compare this to a $200,000 VMware EVO:RAIL system designed for the same sorts of virtualized workloads. In other words, you could run five of Google’s three-tier applications for three years for the price of a single converged (and highly cloud-optimized) on-premise system. Nevermind the fact that Google and company will continue improving through price cuts and system upgrades over time, even as dedicated, on-premise hardware technologically decays and fades to obsolescence.

Give credit to IBM leadership for recognizing the problem. Discussing the company’s latest quarterly results, IBM’s CFO identifies its fundamental challenge:

“For 2015, specifically, we are dealing with some transitions in our business,” Martin Schroeter, IBM’s chief financial officer, said on a conference call with analysts.

“For example, while we are fully participating in the shift to cloud, margins are impacted by the level of investment we’re making and the fact that the business is not yet at scale. We will see some year-to-year benefit to margins in 2015 as the business ramps, but we won’t be at scale.”

Unfortunately, the cure for IBM (and other old tech firms), in the form of radical cuts in employees resulting from the replacement of labor-intensive custom IT consulting and support services by automated, standardized cloud infrastructure, may be (or at least seem to be) worse than the disease.

Look at the numbers. Google runs its entire business with 54,000 employees. The vast majority are in product development and marketing, not IT  operations and support. IBM has over 400,000 employees, but here most are in consulting, service and support. The transition from customized, on-premise IT infrastructure to standardized, utility services renders many jobs superfluous.

I contend that the symbiosis between corporate giants and Main Street business, infamously summarized by GM’s then CEO, is ancient history. What’s good for General Motors or IBM isn’t necessarily good for America. In IT, the democratizing effect of commodified technology, universal connectivity and resultant utility (cloud) information services levels the digital playing field between tiny startups and multinational corporations. Turning IT into a utility effectively ends the rapacious exploitation of a customer’s technological ignorance by big IT vendors. If your business isn’t taking advantage of cloud economics, more enlightened competitors will soon be eating your lunch. It’s time for organizations large and small to rebuild information systems and business applications upon a platform of adaptable, metered utilities, not static, dedicated plant and equipment.

Box Delayed Its IPO To Refocus Strategy, But It Still Lacks A Competitive Moat

By | February 5, 2015

Almost a year after first filing the paperwork, Box IPO’d to much investor interest, up 70% on the first day of trading. The intervening weeks haven’t been so kind as Box now trades off almost 30% from its high that day even as the tech-heavy NASDAQ Composite index is flat. As I wrote in this column, Box’s saga from cash-burning cloud startup to wildly successful IPO has been well chronicled, but the initial reception on Wall Street is actually a testament to savvy leadership, which used the unusually long interregnum between filing and actual IPO, one funded by a much-needed interim round of private funding, to sharpen the company’s mission. The resulting message: Box is more than just another cloud file sharing site.

ycharts_chart (1)

Box’s leadership, notably founder and CEO Aaron Levie, were fighting an understandable inclination to lump Box in as just another consumer cloud sync-and-share service. Its appellative similarity to the most popular consumer service, Dropbox, and Box’s embrace of the freemium pricing model made it easy to conflate the two. Even for those of us that have been using cloud storage since day one find it a natural association given that Box, which actually predates Dropbox, initially sold itself as a convenient way for individuals to access files from anywhere on any system. But Box’s pivot from “store” to “manage” is key to its strategy of becoming a premier enterprise content management platform.

Box-v1_Form_S1 Box-v2_Form_S1

Box’s enterprise strategy was succinctly articulated by  CEO Aaron Levie moments after the firm’s opening trade on the NYSE:

“The thing that’s largely misunderstood about our business is that we’re not in the consumer space. Box helps manage corporate data and corporate information for the world’s largest companies.”

He then pivots to position Box as a cornerstone service facilitating the move of enterprise IT from in-house, on-premise software to cloud-based services.

“We are participating in a one-in-a-lifetime transition from on-premise computing to cloud computing. That’s a world in which you would invest in storage infrastructure, content management software, search appliances, security technology — all of that in your own data center — and what we do at Box is take all of that technology, put that in our data center and deliver it as a service.”

About Us - Reinventing How the World Uses Business Content - Box.clipular

It’s impossible to argue with Levie’s characterization of the disruptive change resulting from cloud computing. Indeed, as I recently argued, it’s a significant force behind the financial decline at old-line tech firms like IBM and HP. Box’s problem is that it’s service is indistinguishable from many existing SaaS content management systems and far less integrated with the most popular content generation platform, Microsoft Office, than Microsoft’s own cloud offering, Office 365, which includes access to Microsoft’s suite of collaboration software, SharePoint Online, Exchange Online and Lync Online. Indeed, as I pointed out in an earlier column, Box’s own S-1 filing outlines its lack of a competitive moat [emphasis added]Form S-1.clipular (4)

The market in which we participate is intensely competitive, and if we do not compete effectively, our operating results could be harmed.

The market for cloud-based Enterprise Content Collaboration services is fragmented, rapidly evolving and highly competitive, with relatively low barriers to entry for certain applications and services. Many of our competitors and potential competitors are larger and have greater name recognition, much longer operating histories, larger marketing budgets and significantly greater resources than we do. Our competitors include Citrix, Dropbox, EMC, Google, and Microsoft. With the introduction of new technologies and market entrants, we expect competition to continue to intensify in the future. If we fail to compete effectively, our business will be harmed. Some of our principal competitors offer their products or services at a lower price, which has resulted in pricing pressures on our business. If we are unable to achieve our target pricing levels, our operating results would be negatively impacted. In addition, pricing pressures and increased competition generally could result in reduced sales, lower margins, losses or the failure of our services to achieve or maintain widespread market acceptance, any of which could harm our business.

Many of our competitors are able to devote greater resources to the development, promotion and sale of their products or services. In addition, many of our competitors have established marketing relationships and major distribution agreements with channel partners, consultants, system integrators and resellers. Moreover, many software vendors could bundle products or offer them at lower prices as part of a broader product sale or enterprise license arrangement. Some competitors may offer products or services that address one or a number of business execution functions at lower prices or with greater depth than our services. As a result, our competitors may be able to respond more quickly and effectively to new or changing opportunities, technologies, standards or customer requirements. Furthermore, some potential customers, particularly large enterprises, may elect to develop their own internal solutions. For all of these reasons, we may not be able to compete successfully against our current and future competitors.

I continue to argue that cloud storage and file sharing isn’t a product, it’s a feature. Whether it’s Microsoft’s Office 365, reinvigorated by native iOS apps, Salesforce document management app plugins, or cloud-first productivity suites like Google Apps, Zoho or Quip, online content storage and sharing is now a baseline feature. As I point out in my Forbes column, although Box clearly has features enterprise customers value in a bolt-on file sharing product, what is its value when productivity and collaboration products companies already use, notably Office and SharePoint, but also cloud-native suites like Jive, Slack, Yammer (also owned by Microsoft) and Salesforce Chatter provide similar document sharing and workflow? Why pay Box $15 a month for content management when Microsoft gives you an entire productivity suite plus email and video conferencing for less?

I like Box, although I rarely use it anymore for exactly the reasons cited above: it’s redundant. Levie is certainly correct in his diagnosis of the fundamental shift in application deployment and usage to a utility-based model, however Box has no unique advantages and many shortcomings (like lack of native application support) versus competing services. I continue to believe that it’s viability as an independent company is dubious, however its cloud-savvy developers and IP would have value for another, more vertically integrated company. With a current valuation of about $2 billion, Box would be pocket change for a company like Apple or Google and even digestible by smaller SaaS pure-plays like Salesforce. Box remains an interesting company to watch in the cloud software market, but despite the IPO, I believe Box is still an acquisition target.

My Favorite Bit: Matt Mikalatos talks about The Sword of Six Worlds

Today we have a middle reader for your consideration, The Sword of Six Worlds, by Matt Mikalatos. Here’s how the book is described.

Validus Smith has three goals. Stay alive. Save the world. Finish her homework.
For centuries the paladins protected the Earth from a creeping darkness known as the Blight. That all changed when a new enemy destroyed the paladins, plunging the free worlds into danger. Validus Smith—an ordinary girl in an ordinary town—is next in line to become the paladin. Untrained, unsure of her destiny, and hunted by monstrous forces, she must recover the fabled Sword of Six Worlds, the only weapon capable of defeating the Blight. But in an unfamiliar world of monsters, talking animals and living rocks, can an ordinary girl like Validus survive?

And what is Matt’s Favorite Bit?

I love the moral simplicity of many fantasy novels, especially children’s novels. Heroes on white horses battle villains in black armor, and though there are frightening moments when all appears lost, the hero triumphs and justice prevails. All of my favorite childhood stories, from Tolkien to Star Wars, happily drew a line between good and evil and I never questioned who was on which side.

As I started writing my own children’s fantasy novel, I drew similar lines. On one side I had a normal human girl named Validus Smith who was chosen to protect the Six Worlds, an alliance of fantasy realms. Validus is only a middle schooler, but she is kind, brave and honest. On the other side I had Silverback, a violent, power-hungry creature bent on destroying the entire world. In my first draft, however, as Validus moved toward her final confrontation with Silverback, I felt increasingly uncomfortable with setting her up as as judge, jury and executioner. The message of violence as a solution to violence didn’t sit right in the context of the greater story.

The solution to this problem, which came in the second draft, is my favorite bit. Validus has a magic sword (of course!) called the Sword of Six Worlds. The sword has a variety of magical properties, but I added a new one in the second draft. If the Sword of Six Worlds is used in anger, or to get revenge or even out of necessity, it will break into a thousand pieces. It can only be used on a living being in a moment of compassion.

By compassion, I mean the ancient Greek concept. The Greek word (which sounds like someone sneezing and is σπλαγχν?ζομαι for the curious among you) means, “I feel compassion” but could be literally translated as “I am moved in my inward parts.” Let’s say, for instance, that you see an orphaned child. The Greeks would have said that compassion is when you see that child, alone and destitute, and you feel a sudden pain in your guts, the sort of pain that won’t go away until you do something to help. It’s not just sadness or pity, it’s a compelling desire to solve other people’s problems, to take care of them when they can’t take care of themselves.

This means that Validus can’t just find Silverback, break into his camp and murder him. To be victorious she needs to understand him. She might even need to learn to care for him. It doesn’t alter the moral simplicity: Validus is still the good guy, and Silverback is still evil. Validus still needs to stop him if she’s going to save the world. But she can only use the sword on Silverback if she uses it with compassion. That’s a little twist in the writing that pleased me.

It brought in new emotional weight, as well: here’s Validus, face-to-face with her enemy, and she knows that she needs to have compassion for him. But he has hurt her friends and has every intention of killing her family and destroying her world. How is that possible? How can she have compassion for someone like that?

I won’t give away the ending, but I will say this: Validus is a better person than I am. And that was one of my favorite bits as well.

Sony Literally Fills Rooms With Films to Immerse the Viewer [VIDEO]

Sony has launched a series of videos promoting the range of movies now available on the PlayStation Video Store. These extraordinary short films were shot in one take, in real time and with no post-production, and literally bring to life the store's tagline: Great Films Fill Rooms.

In the videos, the main character is immersed in the film as the ordinary room quickly transforms into a movie set. The room is filled with projected images that move in real time to create a virtual world

The effect was done using PlayStation devices synced with cameras scattered throughout the set. As Designboom explains, the devices "track the projection in real time to adjust the angle and deformation of its effects so that they align with the camera's viewpoint."

In addition, traditional film tricks such as stagehands and fishing wire were used to make objects appear or float in mid-air.

Watch the set of videos below and be blown away by the result.

Some small changes were needed to make Star Wars Saga Edition less Star Wars and more Mass Effect. Thus, the following changes were implemented:

  • The Jedi class does not exist.
  • Reduce all Hit Die by one die. D10 becomes d8, d8 becomes d6 and d6 becomes d4. Apply new 1st level HP accordingly.
  • Nobles do not gain the Linguist feat at level 1, but gain a free bonus feat from their bonus feat list.
  • Scouts gain Use Computer as a class skill. Soldiers lose Use Computer as a class skill.
  • The Jedi Knight, Jedi Master, Imperial Knight, Sith Apprentice and Sith Master prestige classes do not exist.
  • The Use the Force skill does not exist. It is replaced by Use Biotics, but the two do not share all the same uses. Use Biotics is used for prerequisites for any feats, classes or other features in place of Use the Force.

SADiE in Receivership

We found out today that Studio Audio & Video Ltd, who make the industry standard editing and mastering workstation SADiE, have ceased trading and are in receivership. This is a huge shock, to us and thousands of other users around the world, and also very sad - SADiE UK had it's headquarters just up the road from SRT and we have used the system from it's very earliest days. We are all hopeful that someone will come through and save the company from extinction, but in the meantime I just want to extend my sympathies to Jim, Steve, Mark and the other staff members who are currently without jobs as a result of the companies' difficulties.

DIY Mastering Part 1: Loudness Wars

Probably the hottest topic in mastering in recent years is loudness, and certainly one of the most important jobs for a mastering engineer is to achieve a satisfying, consistent level between all the tracks on an album. However the arrival of digital signal processors during the 90s, coupled with the perception that "louder is better" has led to the infamous "loudness wars" - a gradual increase in the loudness of albums over the years, to the point where some are hugely distorted and very fatiguing to listen to.

If you come to SRT wanting your CD loud, we'll be happy to oblige, but my own personal motto is "Louder is better, but Too Loud is worse" - meaning I believe there is a "sweet spot" for every recording where it's loud enough to "work" given the limitations of the original mix, but is not so loud that it suffers. Push something too far beyond this sweet spot and the effects are only negative.

Why is Too Loud bad ? Apart from problems like distortion, pumping or dynamic inversion, a great way to answer that question is to point you here:

Just check out the video for a great, simple demonstration of why louder is not necessarily better, plus a great selection of "loudness war" links at the bottom of the page.

In a later post I'll discuss how loud is "just right", and the best way to achieve it, but there's other ground to cover before then.

Where I'm At

So here it is - my first post - written while copying sources for a new Paul Weller box set one of our customers is putting together. Sadly it all comes from 16-bit CDRs rather than hi-res files or original tapes, but it's still a pretty cool project. I probably won't get to master it, unfortunately, since we have some DVDs coming in which need authoring and I'm commited to a large Interactive Whiteboard CD-ROM as of next week, but I know Simon will do a great job. On the other hand, once the sources are compiled in the right order they'll get sent away for approval by Universal, and that will take a while, so perhaps I'll be free by then. I'll have to fight him for it...

Looking forward to Richard Durrant's session on Monday - it sounds very different to the bonkers "Horse" album he produced for John Douglas Clark, which we worked on before Christmas. ( "...half album, half sound installation... described variously as 'Ivor Cutler meets Pink Floyd' and 'John Shuttleworth meets Prof. Stanley Unwin' " ) And, I'm really looking forward to working with Christine Tobin again next month - I was really pleased with the way her fellow artist and partner Phil Robson's album "Six Strings and the Beat" turned out last month, despite both of us struggling with the after-effects of flu. And looking forward to getting copies of the Opeth "Still Life" DVD - progressive Swedish Black Metal wouldn't necessarily normally be my listening material of choice, but Jens at Fascination Street did such a great job on the new 5.1 surround mixes, the band play really well and the menus came out nicely, though I say so myself. Plus I'm sure the packaging will be highly decadent, which should be fun.

So that's "where I'm at" at the moment - I think future posts will have updates on these and other interesting or enjoyable projects, plus ramblings on subjects like Mastering and DVD authoring - for example Blu Ray's so-called victory in the "Format Wars" and what it means for our customers who want to release in hi-def - and indeed if HD on disc is going to be a success at all, or go the way of SACD and DVD Audio...

Currently I am listening to "Seventh Tree" by Goldfrapp and loving it...

Xirius Defect v1.1

Atari, My games Add comments

Fakt sa mi to nechce prekladať do Slovenčiny…

Another year, another Abbuc Software Contest entry. This time it is logical game called Xirius Defect which development was described in my previous post. Game took potato medal (4th place) at Abbuc Software Contest 2013. Quite surprising result, it really made my day :).

I received feedback from Irgendwer that game is great candidate for mouse support so I decided to add this quick fix. I checked Irgendwer’s routine which he used in his game ECKN+ and it took me about an hour or two to make it work… at least in emulator.
Gameplay video:

I don’t know any controller other than joystick, I believe I have not seen paddle in real not even mouse nor touch tablet connected to Atari, so basically I had no clue how it works.

Mouse interface I use is called CMI8 and it is also fully compatible with Atari Touch Tablet. Irgendwer told me that it just uses Paddle0 and Paddle1 for horizontal and vertical coordinates, so I read POT0($D200) and POT1($D201) and wrote respective values to addresses which hold X and Y positions of cursor.

Sounds pretty simple, actually it was quite simple… but it also required to setup input in Altirra emulator which was not something I do often, so it took some time to make it work.

Mouse click is read from 1 bit of $D300 (PORTA) so it required simple masking (AND #%00000100) to get state of mouseclick (Paddle0 trigger). Everything worked just fine until Irgendwer tried it on real hardware. Result was (as you might guess) that game was not responding to mouse movement at all.

Irgendwer told me I cannot simply read POTx values, because they require kind of initialization. His game ECKN+ uses OsRom and he read those values from shadow registers (which should make it work). Thing is that Xirius Defect does not use OsRom so I have no shadow registers to use. So I ran Altirra debugger and traced OsRom code where POT0 value is written to shadow register and found out that there is one more instruction which I was missing. After successful read of POTx registers there is need to write any value to POTGO ($D20B) which will reset reading of potentiometer values. I checked memory map in Mapping The Atari and saw that this information is there, but I read it too swiftly that I did not noticed that, especially when game was working in emulator without such reset.

Potentiometers can return values from 0-228 ($E4) which is quite ok when using mouse, but it has specific behavior when Atari Touch Tablet is used. It returns $E4 when you lift your pen from tablet so cursor then jump to right edge of playfield… this could be ignored, but atari touch technology from ’80 was not that good as touch panels these days so sometimes it does not detect pen on tablet when moving which results in cursor flicker/jump between current position and right edge of playfield. This glitch was removed simply by not updating cursor position when POTx returns value $E4.

Irgendwer reported this behavior to Phaeron (author of Altirra emulator) so upcoming version of Altirra will work same as real hardware (btw Atari800win plus 4.1 has same issue) and it will require potentiometer reset by POTGO in order to receive updated POTx values.

It took 2 weeks to make this “quick” fix working. It was really torture because of bug in both emulators.

Controller selection has been added to title screen (press Select key to change between joystick and CMI08/Atari Touch Tablet). Game starts after pressing Start key (it was joystick fire button in Abbuc version). Also delay between title screen and info screen has been added so no more info screen skipping.

I also experimented with ST/Amiga mouse driver, but it sucked a lot (movement was too quirky and it feels like mouse being operated by drunken monkey) so I removed it from game.

Those are changes made to Abbuc version of game, so now it carries version number 1.1.

Does all this color indicate the arrival of spring?

I certainly hope so.....notice the insect getting nector from this flower.

I have not planted any thing new in my yard this season, all that is springing up in bloom here have been planted from previous seasons.

When I trimmed away all the old brown and dead branches from the surface, look at what I uncovered hidden away.
This is the flower from "Mother of Thousands", a succulent. Plants from this family are usually unusual and interesting.
And much to my surprise they all came back.......proving again you can grow plants anywhere and I do!

A healty tomato plant sending out flowers. One of many-many that reseeded itself from last season. The "critter" I have been battleing, that ate almost everything in my edible gardens, obviously does not care for tomato plants.....yet.

No color here, but as I walked my yard today, I was thrilled to see my Gossypium Barbadense (Egyptian Cotton tree), break out with leaves and doing well....for several reasons. This plant is a native of Peru and I started it from a seed that I collected on a visit to the Polansek Gardens and Museum in Winter Park, Florida. I did not know that I would be successful to propagate it, to begin with and I did not think it would tolerate and survive the severe cold temperatures we experienced in Central Florida for several evenings. Also, I am told that the garden no longer has it's tree where I obtained the seeds.
There is always a surprise in store in my garden and as usual, I welcome it.

Susan said...

Your garden is looking very spring-like. Is that an orange petunia that I see? It is so unusual and very pretty. You've got a nice start on that tomato plant...I dearly hope that critter in your garden doesn't develop a taste for them. Good luck to you!

Susan said...

Hey Maxine...Lots of wonderful spring color going on in your garden. I love the commode clever and quirky. Very unique!

Hey, if you would like a chance to win a $55 gift certificate to buy some caladiums...head on over to my other blog: and leave a comment by next Wednesday. Have a great weekend!

Missing man found dead

On 03-01-2013, approximately 12:15 p.m. the Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office was notified by a citizen that they located a male, believed to be missing person Jeffrey Panutsos in the woods near Redwood Fields, deceased. Deputies responded to the scene and the Humboldt County Coroners Office was notified. It appeared that Panutsos injuries were self inflicted.

On 2-27-13 at about 1000 hours, the Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office received a call from a concerned relative of Jeffrey Panutsos reporting him as a missing person.  The relative informed the sheriff’s office he was last seen on 2-26-13 at about 2:00 p.m. when he left for a walk in the 3200 block of Cedar Street, Eureka.

missingThe sheriff’s office also learned that Panutsos frequently walks in the areas of Redwood Fields, Sequoia Park and other forested areas surrounding these locations.  The relative is concerned because he suffers from unspecified medical conditions and for him to be gone overnight is unusual.

The sheriff’s office is asking the public’s help in locating Panutsos.  Panutsos is described as a white male age 20, 6’2, 175-180 lbs., blond hair and green eyes.  Panutsos was last seen wearing a green sweatshirt with “Humboldt” printed on the front, blue jeans, dark colored vans and a black beanie cap.

Panutsos has been entered in the state missing persons’ database and other local law enforcement agencies have been alerted.

Anyone with information is asked to contact the Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office at 707-445-7251 or the Sheriff’s Tip Line 707-268-2539.

Langhorne Left Out of Team USA Pool

With the FIBA world championships for both men's and women's basketball right around the corner, columnist Mechelle Voepel blasts Team USA and its coach, UConn's Geno Auriemma, for leaving Crystal Langhorne (2004-08) out of the national team pool this week. How did that happen? It's a very long story, but here's a short excerpt:
In July, USA Basketball had to submit to FIBA a list of potential players for the world championship. And from what I was told by USA Basketball, Langhorne's name wasn't on the list then. Thus, she couldn't have been added this week.

If that's the case, it seems like somebody was asleep at the switch. Was Langhorne's name left off the list in July because there wasn't a timely recognition of how well she was playing?

If so, how did that happen? She was the WNBA's most improved player last season, so there was every reason to keep a close eye on her this summer. As of June 30, Langhorne was averaging 17.7 points and 9.9 rebounds, and WNBA followers were already talking about her as a potential MVP candidate. It would have been hard to have missed her progress.
