Seattle-based Verdiem is announcing today a new partnership with San Jose, CA-based Cisco Systems (NASDAQ: CSCO). Under the terms of the agreement, Cisco will market and sell Verdiem’s energy management software for PCs and networked devices under Cisco’s “EnergyWise Orchestrator” brand, through its worldwide distribution network. Financial details weren’t given, but it’s an original equipment manufacturing deal, so Verdiem’s software will be built into Cisco’s products—which could make it a very promising sales strategy for Verdiem.
Verdiem makes software to help big companies, government agencies, and universities control and manage energy usage by PCs on their network. The software includes features like automatically turning off computers when they’re not in use, and turning them back on when they need to install software updates. It also includes sophisticated dashboards for monitoring energy use. The partnership with Cisco extends Verdiem’s reach to other networked devices such as Cisco IP phones, wireless access points, and edge switches.
Verdiem was founded in 2001 and is venture backed by Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers and NCD Investors, among others. Jaech, the co-founder of Aldus, Visio, and Trumba, joined the company in late 2008. Last summer, Verdiem said more than 300 corporations, government agencies, and universities had used its software, and had slashed their PC energy costs by 30 to 60 percent.
Police arrested a Sheepshead Bay man on charges of manslaughter, vehicular manslaughter, driving under the influence, and three counts of vehicular assault after he allegedly collided with another car, killing one person and injured two others near exit four of the Belt Parkway on July 12.
The crash occurred near the highway’s Verrazano Bridge-bound exit at Bay Eighth Street just before 2 am, when the arrested driver was allegedly traveling in the wrong direction on the highway — traveling towards Bath Beach on the Bay Ridge-bound side — in his Volkswagen sport utility vehicle. Police say he driver crashed head-on with a Honda Accord that had two passengers.
Emergency medical personnel transported the drivers of both vehicles to Maimonides Hospital, where they are listed in stable condition, police said. And medical personnel also transported the Honda’s two passengers to Lutheran Hospital, where the man in the backseat was pronounced dead, and the woman in the front passenger seat is listed in stable condition.
The Police Department’s Highway Collision Investigation Squad is conducting an investigation, police said.
The Naamans 15- and 16-year-old all-stars won the U.S. title but couldn’t nail down a world championship Saturday in the Senior Little League World Series in Easley, South Carolina.
Pariba Little League of Willemstad, Curacao, overcame a first-inning two-run deficit to down Naamans 7-2 in a championship game nationally televised on ESPN2 Saturday night.
Georgetown’s 1981 Senior League championship remains the only World Series win by a Delaware team at any of the Little League baseball levels, which also include Majors (11-12) and Juniors (13-14) and once included Big League (17-18).
The Wilmington team, which won state and East titles, downed Southeast champ North Springs of Coral Springs (Florida) on Saturday morning 6-3 after scoring five sixth-inning runs to win the United State title. The Florida team was the defending U.S. champ.
That moved Naamans into Saturday night’s final against Curacao, which won the international division 9-5 Saturday morning over Emilia Romagna of Bologna, Italy, the Europe-Africa champ.
Naamans came out swinging and scored two runs in the top of the first inning on singles by Sam Gise and Will Davis, two walks and Adam Tommer’s sacrifice fly.
Jake Andreoli and Sully Williams then opened the Naamans second inning with singles, but outs were made on the next three batters.
Curacao then answered with four second-inning runs and tacked on three more in the fifth to pull away for the win. The Caribbean champs had seven hits.
Winning pitcher Elchero Fransisca allowed five hits and struck out four over six innings for Curacao.
Naamans was plagued by an uncharacteristic six errors in the game.
Curacao had also won the 2002 Senior Little League World Series and finished second twice since.
Naamans team members are Luke Gabrysh, Sam Gise, Jack Taylor, Mark Cruser, Joe Sheets, Adam Tommer, Christian Ceccola, Sully Williams, Matt Querey, Danny Storm, Jake Andreoli and Will Davis. The players attend high school at Salesianum, Wilmington Friends, Concord and Archmere.
The manager is Jim Gise, and coaches are Gary Karp and Jeff Fullerton.
Naamans won the District II (northern New Castle County) title without allowing a run in four games, downed Lower Sussex 8-1 for the state championship and swept through the East Regional in West Deptford (N.J.) by winning all five games to reach the World Series.
After a first-round bye, Naamans downed all three U.S. foes en route to the national title – West champ Central East Maui (Hawaii) 5-3 on Sunday, then North Springs 4-3 on Wednesday and North Springs again on Saturday. Curacao was also 3-0 entering the final.
Naamans was founded in 1957 and draws players from the U.S. 202 corridor north of Wilmington. Naamans was the first Delaware team to qualify for the Little League World Series, which is for the Majors division, in Williamsport, Pennsylvania, in 2003, a feat equaled by Newark National in 2013.

Trade Minister Steven Ciobo says Australia can ‘kiss goodbye’ a trade deal with the European Union should the government pull out of the Paris Agreement. The Liberal frontbencher is issuing a stern warning to those within his own party who stand in opposition to the initiative. Mr Ciobo told Sky News the government cannot simply afford to follow in the US President's footsteps, urging his colleagues to take a step back and act in the national interest.
In a cross-region showdown of two of the Bay Area's top programs, No. 7 ranked Foothill took down 16th-ranked Novato 21-3 Friday night in Pleasanton.
After both defenses controlled the tempo in the first half, Foothill (1-0) rattled off two touchdowns in the third quarter to seal the victory.
Holding a 7-3 lead early in the third quarter, the Foothill defense held Novato (0-1) to three-and-out on the opening second-half possession.
Running back Rob Andrews took over from there, leading the way on an 8-minute, 16-play scoring drive. The 6-foot-3, 215-pound junior carried the ball eight times in the decisive sequence for 36 yards.
Foothill found the end zone through the air, when senior quarterback Josh Mendonca hit Andrews on an 8-yard scoring strike.
Foothill wasn't done. After Foothill stopped Novato quickly on the next possession, wide receiver-defensive back Jordan Johnson handled the punt, started right, and cut back around the left side for a 30-yard touchdown, making the score 21-3.
Johnson was busy in all three aspects of the game. Along with the punt return, the senior scored Foothill's first touchdown on a 24-yard pass from Mendonca, and spent much of the night shadowing Novato standout wide receiver Mike Nicolini from his cornerback position.
Nicolini finished with 5 receptions for 44 yards.
Novato's defense put plenty of pressure on Mendonca (11-21, 101 yards) through much of the game, including three first-half sacks, but was unable to recover after Foothill's 14-point output in the third quarter.
Novato defensive end Andre Shiskan performed well, recording 2 sacks, along with linebacker Alex Liu and Nicolini, who both intercepted passes.
Rico Rodriguez, a ska and reggae trombonist who played with The Specials, passed away on Friday, Sept. 4. He was 80.
Rodriguez notably appeared on the band’s 1979 single “A Message to You, Rudy.” He also recorded as a solo artist and played with Jools Holland’s Rhythm and Blues Orchestra.
Other musicians, including Elvis Costello and members of No Doubt, also paid tribute to the late Rodriguez on social media.
My condolences to his family and my friends in The Specials at the loss of the great Rico. What a moment it was to hear him play on "Rudy"
Rodriguez was born in Jamaica and moved to Cuba as a child, according to a profile in the Jamaica Observer. He developed his early skills as a musician at the Alpha Boys’ School. In 1961, he relocated to England.
He later worked with The Specials, Jools Holland and others.
Rodriguez was awarded an MBE (Member of the Order of the British Empire) for services to music in 2007.
In 2012, Rodriguez was awarded the Silver Musgrave Medal from the Institute of Jamaica for his contribution to Jamaican music.
Can it be possible that the real reason the Romney campaign sidelined foreign policy spokesman Richard Grenell—leading to his damaging decision to quit barely two weeks into his new job—was that the campaign had second thoughts about his vituperative Twitter feed?
The Twitter feed had been there all along. Did it really not get it read until after the fact? Or did the campaign fail to foresee that the new spokesman's old record could be used against him?
Ezekiel Elliott will be in New York on Tuesday for the appeal of his six-game domestic violence suspension in what will likely be the first of multiple steps to keep him eligible for the Cowboys season opener against the Giants in Dallas in two weeks.
Will he be running the ball the night of Sept. 10? "This is completely unpredictable," one source close to the action told the Daily News.
Elliott's hearing, scheduled to last into Wednesday, is expected to take place at the NFL's Park Avenue headquarters, perhaps even in the Tom Brady Conference Room in the basement where Roger Goodell conducted the marathon 10-hour Deflategate hearing in 2015.
Goodell will not be there this time. He's handed off the job of appeals officer to Harold Henderson, the former executive director of the NFL Management Council. Really, talk about having the deck stacked. How could the NFLPA sign off once again in the 2011 CBA on a system where Goodell makes the ruling and if he doesn't hear the appeal himself, it goes to a former high level NFL employee?
Henderson made one key ruling in advance of the hearing. The NFLPA requested that Elliott's accuser Tiffany Thompson be present for questioning and the NFL denied the request. The union appealed to Henderson, and in a shocking development, he sided with the NFL.
"They refuse to produce her," said one Elliott source. "In a 'he said, she said,' it would be nice to know what she said. The player will be under oath, but the accuser won't walk through the door. It's indicative of what this is all about."
The authorities in Columbus did not charge Elliott. Goodell uses different standards in the personal conduct policy. Henderson's decision is expected Friday. The suspension remains on hold until Henderson rules. What has to happen for Elliott to be in uniform against the Giants?
- Henderson has to wipe out the suspension entirely. "The union is trying to get the whole discipline eliminated," the source said. "It's based on the facts and procedures." The Jets have a better chance to win the Super Bowl this year than Elliott has to get the slate wiped clean. The most he can hope for is Henderson reducing the suspension to four games on a conditional basis if Elliott follows the guidelines set forth by the NFL to get a clinical evaluation and, if recommended, go for treatment or counseling.
- If Henderson's ruling is not to Elliott's liking, which means he doesn't completely eliminate it, he's expected to immediately file for a temporary restraining order, which is granted in emergency cases if the plaintiff shows he will face irreparable harm if and that he can prove he has a likely chance to win in court. The TRO, if granted, lasts 10 days. The NFL can immediately appeal. It the TRO remains intact, it can be later be extended 10 days while a preliminary injunction is sought. If Elliott gets the preliminary injunction, there is a stay on the suspension until there is a ruling in the case.
- If Elliott wins the initial rounds in court, he can play until his case is heard and adjudicated. That could take a couple of weeks or it could take months.
What has to happen for Elliott's suspension to miss the Giants game?
- Henderson's ruling involves some form of reduced suspension and Elliott elects to accept it. Not likely.
- Henderson rules against him and the courts refuse to issue a TRO.
There is one huge gamble for Elliott. If he chooses not to accept Henderson's ruling, sues the NFL and gets a TRO and then a preliminary injunction, he is at the mercy of the court when the case will be heard. Only a judge who is a big Cowboys fan would defer the case until after the season.
Otherwise, if the case is heard in October and takes two weeks and Elliott loses, he would then serve the six-game suspension at a more important time of the season. If the case isn't resolved until December and he loses, then he could be unavailable if Dallas makes the playoffs.
If Elliott beat up his girlfriend as alleged, then he has far bigger personal issues than how soon he's back on the field.
One of these years, George Young is going to get into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. The late Giants GM lost out Friday for the one contributor finalist spot in the class of 2018 to former Washington and San Diego GM Bobby Beathard, who was his best friend in football.
There are two spots for the class of 2019 and I think Young and former Cowboys VP Gil Brandt will be elected. Broncos owner Pat Bowlen is third in line.
I'm disappointed the contributors committee didn't pick Young for the fourth year in a row. So far, he's lost out to Bill Polian, Ron Wolf, Ed DeBartolo, Jerry Jones and Paul Tagliabue, although Tagliabue was subsequently voted down by the full 48-member committee in February. Before this new category was created in 2014, Young had been a finalist as a modern era candidate but didn't get the required 80% of the vote on the last ballot.
I have one of the 48 votes, but I'm not on either the senior committee or the contributor committee. Each has nine members. They reduce the lists of candidates in preliminary voting and then five members of each committee meet in Canton to vote.
Beathard built two Super Bowl winners in Washington, one Chargers team that went to the Super Bowl but lost 49-26 to the 49ers and deserved to make the HOF. Just not ahead of Young.
I think the HOF is well run by the folks in Canton, but it's such a bad look that they used Charley Casserly and John Madden as consultants last week to the contributors committee. Casserly worked for Beathard in Washington and eventually succeeded him and won a Super Bowl. Madden was Beathard's roommate and teammate at Cal Poly.
There is a perception problem that the fix was in for Beathard. He was already among the favorites going into the meeting Friday and to have two of his friends as consultants providing input on the 10 finalists is just wrong. Casserly and Madden gave their opinion on each and were not consulted again and did not have a vote.
Casserly and Madden are football lifers and men of integrity, but there's a lot of other people the HOF could have picked to help out this year.
Young is among the three or four most important people in Giants history. He's also such a big part of NFL history that this category could have been named for him.
It was also disappointing that Joe Klecko lost out to Jerry Kramer and Robert Brazile for the two senior finalist spots. The good news is there is more conversation about Klecko's candidacy now than in recent year. … The scouting combine will be back in Indianapolis in 2018, according to the NFL's 2017-18 calendar. There had been talk it would move to Los Angeles. That still could happen in the future but for next year it's in Lucas Oil Stadium Feb. 27-March 5. … The league has not yet announced the site of the April 26-28 draft next year, but with the bathroom bill failing in Texas, the Cowboys are the favorite to host. Their plan is for the first round on Thursday night and the second and third rounds on Friday night to be held at AT&T Stadium in Arlington with rounds three through seven on Saturday afternoon to be conducted at The Star, their new state-of-the-art training facility in Frisco. If the league doesn't like their split plan, the Cowboys are willing to hold all three days at one site. The announcement should be coming in the next month.
I will be hosting "Chalk Talk" at WFAN again this season. Opening night for 2017 will be Sept. 13 at 6:30 p.m. My guests will be Hall of Famer and Super Bowl champion Harry Carson and Super Bowl champion Jim Burt. It's 30 1/2 years since the Giants' first Super Bowl championship. Carson and Burt were not only great players, but they are great storytellers. Listen to WFAN in the week leading up to the event to win tickets.
WHOSE THE MAN FOR TOM?
Now that Tom Coughlin has a team with Blake Bortles and Chad Henne at QB, he's probably having dreams about Eli Manning. It's a good thing for Coughlin's blood pressure he's not coaching the Jaguars but I put the over-under at 10 games before he's down on the sidelines standing next to Doug Marrone. … Rookie DeShone Kizer will be the Browns 27th different starting quarterback since their expansion season in 1999. … Cyrus Mehri, who along with the late Johnnie Cochran helped initiate the Rooney Rule in the NFL, requiring teams to interview at least one minority candidate for every head coaching job, plans to challenge DeMaurice Smith next year in the election for NFLPA executive director. If Mehri gets the job, it will be hard for him to be more pompous than Smith. … The collective bargaining agreement still has four seasons remaining but Smith is already posturing with his prediction of a work stoppage in 2021. Just what fans want to hear on the eve of a new season.
Plans in Ocala/Marion County call for a new Burger King at a current site, the county's 39th Dollar General store and more.
Businesses are expanding, building and changing hands in Marion County as the economy continues to boom.
Fidelity Manufacturing recently bought an 86,000-square-foot warehouse at 1101 SW 37th Ave., Ocala, for $3.19 million, according to Marion County Clerk of Courts records.
