No state subsidy for ZEN tenant
Posted: at 2:55 am
Albany
M+W U.S. is not taking state subsidies to move into the ZEN building under construction at SUNY Polytechnic Institute in Albany, a top college official said Friday.
M+W, a German high-tech construction company that built the GlobalFoundries computer chip factory in Malta and many of the buildings at SUNY Poly, moved its United States headquarters from Plano, Texas, to Watervliet Arsenal in 2012 after the state Assembly promised the company $6.5 million.
On Thursday, Ron Oakley, CEO of M+W U.S., said that the company would again move its headquarters from the Arsenal to SUNY Poly's $191 million ZEN building when it is completed later this year.
But this time, the company is not getting state aid. Nor will it apply for tax benefits under the new Start-UP NY program, even though the ZEN building is a Start-UP NY site.
"M+W is not receiving any tax incentives for moving into ZEN, not even Start-Up NY (tax breaks)," Alain Kaloyeros, the president of SUNY Poly told the Times Union on Friday.
M+W, which is part of M+W Group of Stuttgart, Germany, is planning to take 30,000 square feet of space on the fourth floor of ZEN for 160 employees, although it will keep space at the Arsenal as well, which is the site of its pipe-fitter training lab and where many of its subcontractors work.
The company employs approximately 2,000 people across the state.
The space at ZEN will also become the new headquarters for Gehrlicher Solar America,
At a ceremony held Thursday at the SUNY Poly campus, Kaloyeros and Oakley signed two agreements covering training and research programs and a major solar installation effort at SUNY campuses across the state that will require hiring 400 workers and spending of $105 million over a five-year period.

OracleVoice: Zen And The Art Of Enterprise IT
Posted: at 2:55 am
Hiroshige Sugihara, CEO and president of Oracle Japan, has an enlightened view of enterprise systems. And this view can be summed up in a word:
Its a Buddhist word, and its hard to translate, he explains from the executive boardroom of the companys Tokyo headquarters. Nevertheless, the amiable Hiro, who joined Oracle in 2013, endeavors an explanation. He says that the human tendency to define the world by dividing it into (often binary) categories prevents us from seeing things as they really are.
Or, as thirteenth-century Japanese Zen scholar Dgen Zenji wrote, Dont think about good or bad, right or wrong. Dont give rise to the minds common concepts, the judging of thoughts and observations.
In the enterprise, this tendencyoften translated as dualistic thinking from Japanese, Chinese, and the Buddhas native Pali languageleads to what is more commonly known as siloed thinking in modern corporate vernacular. Hiro believes that this view of the world plagues the enterprise IT marketcausing CIOs and business managers to unnecessarily segregate technologies from each other. The result: Essential IT decisions are made based on job title, organizational role, management bias, or legacy thinking.
If you are too preoccupied with what software lives on what computer, you are going to miss the new opportunities the market is presenting, Hiro suggests. We are living in an era defined by a question: What do you want to accomplish?
Cloud. On premises. Public. Private. My servers. Your data. Thats all becoming irrelevant. The top concern should be with results.
In a less-enlightened enterprise, progress may be stifled by a dualistic view of the organization. Efforts to improve system performance may lead the CIO to ask, Is this job for the hardware or the software team? But that overlooks the reality that increasingly, the software and hardware are coeval, with mutual interdependencies (as with Oracle engineered systems). Business managers looking for fast results may want to shift a key process to a cloud-based solutionoverlooking the fact that the CIO is ready to quickly deploy an internal solution built on a strong, internal platform-as-a-service architecture.
Hiro believes that the current speed of business makes it critical for organizations to awaken from this way of thinking. Things are changing very fast, and to be prepared for changes in the market, we need to adopt a new way of thinking about management, he says. Managers cant use brute force to outrun the marketthey will lose that race. Rather, they need to adopt a more adaptive mindset. Or as Zen master Dgen wrote, It is too late to be ready.
Hiro hopes to bring holistic thinking to Oracle CloudWorld Tokyo, which takes place April 9-10. He believes that the Japanese companies featured at the event will have a lot to share with IT and business leaders from all over the worldparticularly in business execution and customer service, areas in which he believes Japanese companies excel.
We are very confident about the way we make things and work in a disciplined way. That is why I believe the Japanese are successful, says Hiro. This is a way the global market should eliminate false separations. Japan, the US, China, India, Europe, everyonethere should be no artificial boundaries.

New aerobics class for wheelchair users to be trialled
Posted: at 2:54 am
First published in News Last updated by Rebecca Cain, Senior Reporter
A DISABLED fitness instructor is trialling a new aerobics class while raising money for his London Marathon race.
Kris Saunders-Stowe started his business Wheely Good Fitness to provide fitness classes for disabled people in Herefordshire.
Now Hereford Leisure Pool has agreed to trial his seated aerobics class, which is aimed at both self-propelling wheelchair users and able bodied people.
Mr Saunders-Stowe said: "Ordinarily Halo trial new classes for six weeks, but as seated exercise has a dowdy image for being slow and uninteresting (unlike what we do) they have given me a 12 week period to get numbers and hopefully keep the class running."
The first class will be combined with his fundraising for the London Marathon.
He was selected to be just one of 12 standard wheelchair entrants in the marathon and is raising money for the Ross and Hereford branches of the MS Society.

70-year-old Kalama resident still teaching fitness classes after 40 years
Posted: at 2:54 am
In 1977, Judy Bain laced up her sneakers, dug out her childrens red plastic record-player, picked out some bouncy 45s and started teaching aerobics at the YMCA.
Nearly 40 years later, the Kalama resident still teaches exercise classes, including low-impact aerobics, Zumba Gold, Move-ing With Music and a class called Betty Bones and Balance designed to build strength, keep osteoporosis at bay and increase balance to lessen the likelihood of falls.
The 70-year-old, who is a retired medical assistant from Longview Surgical Group, is going strong much of which she attributes to the lessons she teaches others.
Judy instructs 15 classes a week at the Youth & Family Link building. Besides Link, she offers classes through Lower Columbia Colleges Continuing Education program and Longview Recreation. Her busiest days are Mondays and Wednesdays, with back-to-back lessons starting at 7 a.m. and ending at 1 in the afternoon.
Drumming and moving in place helps students strengthen their bones and improve their balance to help avoid falls.
Everybody says, When are you going to retire? but this is really not a job, she said. Its just fun. Do what you like and like what you do.
Fitness became a part of Judys life when she took up running in the late 1970s. A member of the YMCA, she was approached by Pat Hahka, the aquatics director, about teaching a class. Judy was hesitant, but she took some training through the Y.
I taught my class in this big gymnasium, and it was so quiet, she said. I got my kids red plastic record player and taught the next class playing 45s and just kept shuffling the records to songs that I liked.
These days, Judy instructs using an iPod and a headset. With classes containing upward of 50 participants, the headset helps reach the ears of each person in the Link gymnasium.
Judy started teaching Better Bones and Balance in 2003. The results have been impressive, she said.

Hard-partying Gronk gives a lap dance at a Miami club
Posted: at 2:54 am
Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski partied hard at a Miami club Thursday, giving a woman a lap dance and doing pull-ups from an overhead beam.
His group took over a VIP table at LIV at the Fontainebleau, with several linebacker-size friends and one of his agents, Michael Katz from Rosenhaus Sports, during Tistos set.
Gronk greeted a Page Six reporter with a high-five and the advice, Dont get too drunk tonight and then he and his crew jumped around and danced like they were in an aerobics class.
After a magnum of Dom Prignon was brought to their table, the Super Bowl champ, who stands 6-foot-6 and weighs 265 pounds, got down on his knees with his friends and sang along to a dance mix of John Legends anthem, All of Me.
But Gronks best move was when he gave a woman a lap dance, then grabbed the steel beam above her head, kicked his legs up and did a set of straight-legged pull-ups over her.
Sweating Gronk grabbed a towel to dry off, and then repeatedly thrust his pelvis and swung the towel like a lasso.
