Galatea Names JewelMark
Galatea Jewelry Corporation has appointed JewelMark Canada, Inc., located in Edmonton, Alberta, as the exclusive Canadian distributor for its collections.
With a growing customer base in Canada, a locally-based distributor was a logical "next step," according to Galatea CEO Chi Huynh.
"The Galatea-JewelMark alliance will bring an experienced and streamlined sales experience to our Canadian customers," says Huynh.
JewelMark Canada CEO Ed Kilbride has sold Galatea jewelry as an independent representative in Alberta and British Columbia since 2013. "We have full confidence in Ed's expertise and his ability to make this a successful transition," says Huynh.
Kilbride has extensive experience in relationships with American jewelry manufacturers, handling Canadian distribution for the Marathon and Benchmark brands throughout the provinces.Add a comment

Sequence similarity searching is a powerful tool to help develop hypotheses in the quest to assign functional, structural and evolutionary information to DNA and protein sequences. As sequence databases continue to grow exponentially, it becomes increasingly important to repeat searches at frequent intervals, and similarity searches retrieve larger and larger sets of results. New and potentially significant results may be buried in a long list of previously obtained sequence hits from past searches.
ReHAB (Recent Hits Acquired from BLAST) is a tool for finding new protein hits in repeated PSI-BLAST searches. ReHAB compares results from PSI-BLAST searches performed with two versions of a protein sequence database and highlights hits that are present only in the updated database. Results are presented in an easily comprehended table, or in a BLAST-like report, using colors to highlight the new hits. ReHAB is designed to handle large numbers of query sequences, such as whole genomes or sets of genomes. Advanced computer skills are not needed to use ReHAB; the graphics interface is simple to use and was designed with the bench biologist in mind.
This software greatly simplifies the problem of evaluating the output of large numbers of protein database searches.
Advances in technology have increased the speed and reduced the cost of DNA sequencing. This has resulted in a dramatic increase in the number of sequences contributed by both large sequencing centres and individual laboratories to sequence databases. Public biological sequence databases are growing at an ever-increasing rate, with 9 million new sequences being added to GenBank from August 2002 to August 2003 alone [1]. Currently, the GenBank database has almost 42 billion nucleotides from over 32 million sequences. The number of whole genome sequences of eukaryotes, prokaryotes and viruses is also increasing rapidly. Accordingly, tools like NCBI BLAST, which search those databases for sequences similar to a given query sequence, return larger and larger sets of results.
Sequence similarity searching is a powerful tool to help develop testable hypotheses in the quest to characterize genes and other DNA sequences and infer structural, functional or evolutionary relationships. Researchers interested in identifying new matches to query sequences, which may be a few genes or even whole genomes, must search through massive amounts of alignment data to retrieve new and interesting matches. In order to keep up with the growing databases, the researcher must submit the same queries periodically. However, the new results, no matter how significant, are often buried in a long list of results that were previously obtained on past searches.
ReHAB (Recent Hits Acquired from BLAST) is a new software package that was developed to address these problems. ReHAB performs PSI-BLAST [2] searches of a protein sequence database and keeps a database of all significant alignments ("hits") obtained; these searches are performed on a regular schedule against updated versions of the sequence database. It then compares the sequences in the new PSI-BLAST result with the ReHAB hits database to identify new matches resulting from recently deposited sequences. The complete ReHAB hits database can then be queried by date using a simple GUI to allow the researcher to easily identify new hits; these are highlighted, and pairwise or multiple alignments can be performed to assess the quality of the match. As well as filtering out results that have been found previously, the ReHAB browser can filter out hits against sequences that are identical to the sequences being submitted as queries (such as orthologs of the query sequence).
ReHAB is designed to be a practical tool for searching NCBI database updates with large numbers of query sequences. For example, our laboratory uses it with all open reading frames (ORFs) from fully sequenced poxvirus genomes (over 7000 query sequences). As the number of sequenced virus genomes continues to increase, the number of hypothetical ORFs of unknown function also expands. This is particularly true for large viruses like poxviruses, baculoviruses, and herpesviruses that possess many virulence genes that are not part of the core set of genes that define a virus family [3]. There are also numerous core genes for which no known function has yet been identified; for example, of 49 completely conserved protein families in poxviruses, there are 11 with completely unknown function and at least 5 others with only poorly defined function.
Other programs have been previously created to deal with this particular issue, including DBWatcher [4], SEALS [5], Swiss-Shop [6], Sequence Alerting System [7] and BLAST Search Updater [8]. However, WWW-based programs are not well suited to searching with large numbers of query sequences, and there may be concerns with a shut-down of service (as occurred with Sequence Alerting System) or allowing proprietary data out of a secure network. Other programs may be complicated to use, or require users to directly interact with UNIX operating systems. ReHAB is specifically designed for searching with large numbers of query sequences and can support a number of research groups; it also provides a user-friendly graphical interface. The client will run on most major operating systems including Mac OS X, Windows, Linux and Solaris.
Design rationale
ReHAB was implemented for the Java platform to simplify the support of multiple operating systems including Linux, Microsoft Windows, Solaris, and Mac OS X. Users initially access and launch the application (client) from a web page using Java Web Start, which also automatically downloads updated versions as they become available. This ensures users are taking advantage of improvements or added features in the latest software version. Furthermore, coding in Java allows interoperability with existing applications developed in our laboratory, including Base-By-Base [9]. Our choice was reinforced by past successes with the Java platform and Java Web Start for implementation and distribution of programs such as VOCs [10], VGO [11], and Base-By-Base [9].
ReHAB consists of four main components (Figure 1): (1) a MySQL relational database that stores information about hits, including biological sequences, alignments between them, and other categorization and annotation data; (2) a Java server that provides access to programs which cannot be run locally by the client on arbitrary user workstations, such as NCBI BLAST and EMBOSS [12] utilities; (3) a Java Swing graphical client, downloaded and launched on client machines using Java Web Start; (4) and a back-end Java program which runs alignment programs and compiles results in the database. Each of these components is described in more detail below. Although all components can be run on a single machine, it is envisioned that a single server will support a variety of users dispersed on an intranet or the Internet; if required, it is simple to offload the batch database searching to a more powerful cluster or grid system.
Figure 1. Organization of ReHAB processing steps. ReHAB is set up as four main components: the client, the Hits Database, the server and the back end. See text for details.
Hits database
There are four types of information stored in the ReHAB database: (1) biological sequences and their annotations, both those used as queries in BLAST searches and those which have been returned as hit subjects; (2) information on each query/subject pair (hit), gathered from individual search results and alignment programs (including bit-score, date entered, and percent identity); (3) organizing information, such as which query sequences belong to which organisms; and (4) other caching information, used to speed performance of server-side program functions. To reduce the amount of required storage space, actual alignments are not stored, but are regenerated for presentation when the user selects the specific query sequence or query-target pair to be viewed. Query sequences, which are entered using a simple FASTA-like format that includes additional annotation information in the identifying line, need only be submitted once to ReHAB since they are stored for future search cycles.
Back-end processing
The work of running PSI-BLAST searches is done in batch mode by the NCBI blastpgp program against a local copy of the NCBI non-redundant (NR) protein database. PSI-BLAST is performed for three iterations without filtering procedures (such as for low-complexity regions). Hits with an E-value less than 0.001 are used to generate the scoring matrix for the subsequent cycle. To increase speed, searches with query sequences that result in no new hits are terminated after the first cycle. Those with new hits scoring below the threshold continue to the third cycle. PSI-BLAST was chosen because it is a more sensitive search method than BLASTP. The searches do not need to be performed on the same machine on which the database or server components are installed. XML output from blastpgp is parsed and relevant information about each hit is stored in the ReHAB database. In addition to scores and identifying information, target sequences are copied into the ReHAB database to ensure that they are available for analysis in the future, even if they are no longer available from NCBI. This is important because, although NCBI does not actually remove sequences from its database, it may change the identifier of a sequence if it is corrected, updated, or merged with another identical entry. Any changes to a pre-existing entry are added to the database, but it is not registered as a new hit.
The server component consists of Java RMI classes that provide remote access to local facilities, and a loading program that registers those classes with an RMI Registry installed on the server from which the client will be downloaded. Requirement for the server is a system that can support Java 1.4.1 and MySQL 4.0.
Client GUI
The Java Swing client component allows a user to browse the information collected in the database by the back-end program. When the client is downloaded and launched from a website, it connects to the server and database specified in its configuration file.
The client program visually presents summary information about hits added to the database, and allows the user to quickly locate new, relevant hits and the sequences involved. There are five main views available in the client: (1) The management console lists the available databases, and has options for creating new databases or adding files to existing databases, (2) The Hits Browser window lists the organisms for which query sequences have been added in the database, and allows users to select filtering and highlighting options, (3) a Hits Summary, which displays the results in a table with highlighting to mark new hits, and (4) an HTML output or (5) a Hits Manager that displays detailed information about retrieved sequences and alignments.
Results and discussion
Finding new hits
ReHAB is a tool that works with BLAST to identify new hits in updated versions of sequence databases. It allows the researcher to ask the question: "what new sequences match my sequences since the last time I searched?" In the example of our work, the query sequences are all the ORFs of the fully sequenced poxvirus genomes (36 genomes, 7075 query sequences). These sequences are used to query the NR NCBI protein database and a MySQL database of all hits is generated and stored (Figure 2). Databases of hits for other virus families maintained by The Virus Bioinformatics Resource (TVBR; herpesviruses, baculoviruses, coronaviruses, and adenoviruses) will also be available in the near future. The hits database can then be accessed by double-clicking on the database name or by selecting "browse by organism" in the Action menu. This opens a new window to present browsing, sorting, and highlighting options (Figure 3). The user can browse by organism name, such as "Variola Virus strain Bangladesh-1975". To highlight recent hits, the "date option" is chosen to define the date after which the hits are considered new. The available dates are those on which the query sequences were searched against a then current NR NCBI database. The output can be sorted based on three criteria (name, new hit date, or maximum new hit bit-score) by selecting the appropriate radio button. The results are presented in a new window, using colors to indicate new hits (Figure 4).
Figure 2. ReHAB management console. A database is selected from the list on the left, and statistics are displayed on the right. More hits than target sequences are displayed because query sequences can match multiple targets. Double-clicking on the database or selecting an option from the Action menu allows users to browse the selected database.
Figure 3. Hits browser window. The ReHAB database is searched by selecting an organism name, then choosing the desired highlighting and filtering options. Clicking on "Show Summary" opens a new window to display the results.
Figure 4. Query sequences with new hits are highlighted. A user defined threshold (in the Browser window) is used to define the minimum bit-score that is highlighted in red, and all new hits with lower scores are highlighted in yellow. The Latest Hit column indicates the date of the most recent hit. Those with no entry in this column have no hits in the database (for example, VARV-Bsh-A33.5L). Sorting of the entries can be changed by clicking on the column heading. Details about the hits can be obtained by right-clicking on the entry or selecting an option in the Action menu.
Since all new hits are not necessarily significant, results are highlighted in different colors depending on the bit-score. The user can change the default threshold of the minimum bit-score, to show new hits scoring above this cut-off in red and new hits scoring below it in yellow. Since all query sequences that have new hits are highlighted, any that remain unhighlighted do not have new hits. However, unhighlighted queries may have significant hits from previous searches. The "Latest Hit" column indicates this fact: query sequences showing hits only from previous searches show an older hit date, and a bit-score of "0" in the "New Hit Score" column. Unhighlighted sequences with no information in the "Latest Hit" column do not have any hits in the database or they have been filtered out (see below).
Information about the hits can be viewed in two ways. Selecting "HTML Report" launches the user's default web browser and displays the "hit-list" in familiar BLAST-style (Figure 5a). Hits are displayed in descending order of bit-score, however, a key feature of this program is that new hits are highlighted in red or yellow. The pairwise alignment can be displayed rapidly by clicking on the score (a hyperlink). In contrast to the usual BLAST output, which presents the local alignment found by BLAST, a global alignment produced by Needle [12,13] is shown. More information can be obtained about the target sequence by clicking on the link to the NCBI file for that entry. Alternatively, a full list of hits can be viewed in the "Hits Manager" window (Figure 5b). Here, sequences can be sorted by highlight, and pairwise or multiple alignments can be performed. Pairwise alignments are displayed by selecting a single target sequence and clicking the "Global" button for global alignments produced by the EMBOSS program Needle or the "Local" button for local alignments generated by the EMBOSS program Water [12,14]. Multiple alignments are generated by selecting more than one target sequence and clicking the "Base-By-Base" button; the software automatically retrieves the appropriate sequences from the ReHAB hits database, performs a ClustalW alignment and passes the resulting multiple alignment to Base-By-Base, which functions as an alignment viewer and editor [9]. Finally, sequences in the Hits Manager can be viewed in FASTA format by clicking the "Show" button and can be copied from this window using standard keystrokes.
Figure 5. Analysis of hits. Hits can be viewed in A) HTML output, showing all hits listed in order of descending score, followed by a pairwise Needle alignment of the query and target sequence. The Info hyperlink links to the NCBI entry for the target sequence, and the score hyperlink takes the user to the Needle alignment. B) The Hits Manger window, which allows the user to sort hits and view pairwise or multiple alignments, or view selected sequences in FASTA format. A global alignment is shown between the query sequence and the top scoring new hit.
Filtering out identical sequences
Unless a sequence has not been deposited in the public database, a sequence similarity search will return results including the query sequence itself, as well as nearly identical sequences that are orthologs of the query. ReHAB can block the highlighting of hit sequences that are also present in the query database when the "Don't Show My Own Sequences" option is selected; such sequences will not be shown or highlighted in the Hits Results window. However, these sequences and their alignments with the query can still be visualized in the HTML Report and Hits Manager windows, thus allowing the user to access all the available information. This feature becomes essential when new poxvirus genomes are added to the public database, since a large fraction of the queries will hit proteins in the new genome and signal a "new hit" report when there may be no other new hits in the database. Although these are clearly high scoring matches, they are expected and therefore must be masked in the analysis if the full value of ReHAB is to be realized.
Browsing by other criteria
In the browser window (Figure 3), the user can chose to browse by the annotation included in each sequence's information line. In the case of our poxvirus sequences, useful annotations are organism name and protein family (as determined in POCs [10]). Selecting an item from the "Group by Annotation" list loads the new category in the list on the left side of the window. This sorting allows the user to quickly find query sequences of particular interest. For example, one may be interested in looking at only sequences from the Ankyrin family. Results can then be viewed and analyzed as described above.
Setting up ReHAB with user selected sequences
Researchers can use ReHAB to search databases with their own set of query sequences. In the example of our research, it is most practical to organize the query sequences by organism and protein family. Other researchers, however, may find other naming schemes to be more useful; no changes to the program or database are required. For example, a research group could organize query sequences and the hits results databases by laboratory name, and browsing of results could be by the researcher's name (Figure 6). Individual laboratory members would add query sequences to the database including their name in the identifying information line. In this example, the laboratory name would replace virus family, and user names would replace organism names. All query sequences would be searched in the same batch process, and each individual could then browse their sequences of interest. Users interested in establishing their own ReHAB database should contact the authors for assistance.
Figure 6. ReHAB set up for other users. A) Different laboratories in a department could have different query databases, which can be accessed as described in the text. B) The sequences within a lab's database could be annotated with individual lab member's names, or other identifying information, permitting individuals to view results for their own sequences of interest. In this way, large numbers of sequences of interest to a lab can be run simultaneously and frequently, and individuals can then browse results.
The goal of this project was to build a software package to aid in the identification of new results returned from sequence similarity searches. To this end, we developed ReHAB, a tool that highlights new hits by comparing results from previously run searches to those with a recently updated database. ReHAB allows researchers to query the NR protein database with large numbers of sequences and can highlight, sort, and analyze results in a user-friendly graphical interface. It can also be used to rapidly create multiple alignments with any set of sequences returned by a BLAST search. This enables researchers to recognize new significant sequence matches in the mass of results generated by high throughput database search protocols.

German prosecutors cite "medical documents that suggest an existing illness and appropriate medical treatment."
NEW YORK (AP) — Emergency workers continued searching Saturday for at least two people still missing after an apparent gas line explosion leveled three Manhattan apartment buildings while investigators piece together what exactly caused the blast that injured 22.
At a press conference announcing the findings of an investigation into a racist chant that prompted the shuttering of Sigma Alpha Epsilon's Oklahoma University chapter and the expulsion of two fraternity members, OU President David Boren saluted the student activists of Unheard, who first brought the now widely viewed SAE video to light.
SHARM EL-SHEIKH, Egypt (AP) — Yemen's embattled president on Saturday called Shiite rebels who forced him to flee the country "puppets of Iran," directly blaming the Islamic Republic for the chaos there and demanding airstrikes against rebel positions continue until they surrender.
By Scott Malone BOSTON (Reuters) - The Boston Marathon bombing trial shifts sharply in tone next week when prosecutors rest their case against Dzhokhar Tsarnaev and turn proceedings over to his lawyers, who have already admitted he planted explosives at the finish line in April 2013. One of Tsarnaev's lawyers, death penalty specialist Judy Clarke, opened the trial on March 4 with a blunt statement to the jury that "it was him" who killed three people and injured 264 in the attack. Clarke contended, however, that the 21-year-old played a secondary role to his older brother, Tamerlan Tsarnaev, in planning and executing the plot. Her goal: Persuade jurors in federal court in Boston that Tsarnaev deserves a sentence of life in prison rather than the death penalty.

Shrub selection, we like Holly, more information desired
This past winter was pretty brutal here in the northern lower peninsula of Michigan. So brutal that my Korean Boxwoods in front of my deck bit the dust after nine years of growing them from 4" pots to true full sized shrubs that came to the top of the deck. Trimmed for the first time last year, ah well.
My wife and I are now serious about replacing them, and were looking at the Blue Princess Holly. We really like how leaf green they are, something very different from the depressing pine needle green, which is typically the only green foliage in the area from October-April. However, I'm uncertain whether this Holly is suited to this climate. Some sites list the holly as a zone 5 plant, others as zone 4. I really don't want to do this again, so if it's suitable, that's great, and anyone have any ideas on where to get them at a reasonable price?
If however, they are unsuitable, I would appreciate some alternative, non-depressing pine tree options for zone 4 shrubs with year round foliage. All opinions welcome. Thank you for your time.
I think it might be really 'iffy' in zone 4. You'd probably get some dieback every couple years. But look around your region and see if there are any other hollies growing.
I'd check with your local nursery to see what they suggest. It might be that it will do OK with adequate winter shelter from winds but out of harsh winter sun.
Thanks for responding Dave. Unfortunately, my local nursery has often suggested things to me over the years that are not suitable for my climate, so I have learned to do research on my own.
Like I said, I really don't desire a repeat, so if I need to go with something hardier, I will.
If they are in an area of winter sun, they are likely to winter burn at least some of the time, so there will definitely be times they look fairly bad into June. I am half to a full zone hardier than you are, and we get consistent snow cover, often to as much as 4' deep. But my in-laws' hedge of Blue Princess & Prince has some bad winters, even with some shade in winter.
If you want an evergreen, I'd suggest a conifer since most broad-leafed evergreens will had at least some winter burn in sun in your zone, and may have a lot.

Isuzu Engine >> VALVE TRAIN TICKING SOUND ON 3.2L ISUZU ENGINES
Valve Train Ticking Sound On
1992-98 Isuzu 3.2L Engines
The AERA Technical Committee offers the following information regarding a valve train ticking sound on 1992-98 Isuzu 3.2L engines.
One or more hydraulic lash adjusters do not fully extend due to varnish build up inside the adjusters. This condition results from exceeding the oil and filter change intervals on the vehicle.
There are a couple of ways to possibly cure this problem that Isuzu offers. One of the simplest ways is changing the engine oil and filter using a 0W-30 synthetic engine oil prior to replacing any engine components. If the noise persists after those changes, refer to the following information.
Once we have determined which bank the noise is coming from, the cylinder head valve cover needs be removed so that we can inspect each rocker arm for clearance at the valve tip. The noisy rocker arms are the ones with clearance when the rocker is on base circle of the cam and the valve is closed as shown in Figure 1.
Note: Each cylinder head has an oil pressure relief valve that controls oil pressure to the rocker arms. If all rocker arms have clearance and/or the rocker arm pivot shaft is worn, then the cylinder head oil pressure relief valve may be stuck in the open position.
Remove the rocker arm(s) that have clearance on them and inspect the wear pattern of the hydraulic lash adjuster surface contact with the valve stem as shown in Figure 2. Then remove the hydraulic lash adjuster from the rocker arms using your fingers. Do not damage the O-ring on the outside of the lash adjuster or replacement of the entire rocker arm is required.
Insert a paper clip into the hole at the top of the lash adjuster and depress the spring loaded check ball while completely pushing in the piston at the opposite end. Some traces of oil may come out of the check ball hole.
Carefully remove the O-ring and spray the lash adjuster piston with cleaner to remove any varnish while holding the piston open. Submerge in cleaning solvent with the check ball depressed and pump the piston repeatedly to allow the solvent to penetrate through the lash adjuster.
Submerge the adjuster in clean 0W-30 synthetic engine oil with the check ball depressed and pump the piston repeatedly to allow the engine oil to penetrate through the lash adjuster. Then allow the piston to extend fully to fill the adjuster.
Reinstall the O-ring and lube the rocker arm bore that houses the adjuster with 0W-30 synthetic engine oil, then push the adjuster back into place. Inspect for leaks at the check ball and piston by attempting to compress the adjuster without depressing the check ball.

Why Most Things Fail: Evolution, Extinction and Economics (Google eBook)
Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group, Dec 18, 2007 - Business & Economics - 272 pages
With the same originality and astuteness that marked his widely praised Butterfly Economics, Paul Ormerod now examines the "Iron Law of Failure" as it applies to business and government–and explains what can be done about it.
"Failure is all around us," asserts Ormerod. For every General Electric–still going strong after more than one hundred years–there are dozens of businesses like Central Leather, which was one of the world's largest companies in 1912 but was liquidated in 1952. Ormerod debunks conventional economic theory–that the world economy ticks along in perfect equilibrium according to the best-laid plans of business and government–and delves into the reasons for the failure of brands, entire companies, and public policies. Inspired by recent advances in evolutionary theory and biology, Ormerod illuminates the ways in which companies and policy-setting sectors of government behave much like living organisms: unless they evolve, they die. But he also makes clear how desirable social and economic outcomes may be achieved when individuals, companies and governments adapt in response to the actual behavior and requirements of their customers and constituents.
Why Most Things Fail is a fascinating and provocative study of a truth all too seldom acknowledged.

It's a jewel
We stayed at Ledgeview for a week with 2 small kids in late August of 2010. Looking for a place to get away from the bustle of large city, this turned out to be just an ideal place for us. We loved the location (sunset on Cadillac Mountain, walks around Bar Harbor and sea-side treks were our favorites), the food and the place itself. The house has this great rustic charm, and if not for the kids, we would have stayed at the patio the whole time. Lora and Dick were most pleasant and went out of their way to help us. Definitely planning to come back! Alan & Elena

Flat Knit Cuffed Leg Warmers
Also found in:
♠ Arm Warmers ♠ Leg Warmers ♠ Foot Traffic ♠ Solid
Simple leg or arm warmers - they are a lot like a sleeve with a cuff.
Twenty-one inches long, with a maximum stretch around of 16-17 inches.
Additional Info: The bottoms are narrow - not the kind that will slip over your heels or hands.
Made in Taiwan, Foot Traffic has worked with the same mill for over 20 years and assures us they meet all benchmarks of positive and conscientious standards.
Fiber Content: 85% acrylic, 15% spandex.
Label: Foot Traffic
It says these won't "slip over your heels or hands". I'm looking for something that will go over my heel and to the middle of my foot (or so) to wear to yoga to keep my feet warmer while keeping my toes exposed. Would these work for that use?
I just got the Extraordinarily Longer Thigh Highs and loved them so much that I immediately had to tell you about it. I, of course, love all the socks I order from you, but these are my favorite!! They are not only long enough for my mutant legs, they are also the softest, most lovely thigh highs I have ever worn! I love them so hard.

From a distance, the 56-foot-high bell tower of the new Col Solare winery looks like an apparition hovering over the slope of Washington's Red Mountain. Even before its official opening last fall, the winery had become the most imposing presence of this 6-year-old appellation, which, at an elevation of 1,500 feet, qualifies as more of a hill than a mountain.

Bryan Eisenberg | June 25, 2004 | Comments
Even if you're not a renegade like our case-study hero, the simplest changes can improve conversion dramatically.
Today, a case study from our company's files. Thingamajob, the job search engine for recruiting giant Allegis Group, retained us in March 2002 to improve Web site conversion. We worked with Ethan Giffin, Thingamajob's Web project manager. Ethan used WebTrends to measure Web site activity, so he knew something was wrong with the site. People were simply leaving. Most likely, they were dissatisfied.
We developed a plan of things to change. Unfortunately, most were outside Ethan's control at the time. We evaluated over 50 site areas, comprising over 1,100 variables that affect conversion. These included system-generated email, search engine functionality, and the site's general messaging. Things were pretty bad. Conversion rates were in the single digits. Over 46 percent of all job searches resulted in a zero results set.
During the uncovery phase, we discovered a fundamental message wasn't articulated: The Allegis Group is a contract recruiter, not a job broker like many other job boards out there. We were able to change a banner to say, "We're Hiring." If you've ever been unemployed, those two words are just beautiful. Check out a screenshot of the site at this point.
That change, along with navigation reordered to focus on posting user resumes, increased conversions over 81 percent.
Several months later, Ethan reported to management how those couple of changes resulted in significant return on investment (ROI) increases. He'd taken the initiative, though it didn't benefit him directly. He just wanted to improve the company's Web presence. Ethan demonstrated how many new accounts and placements the site achieved from the changes and how these resulted in millions of associated dollars in increased revenue. He then requested a budget to fix the rest of the site.
We worked with Ethan to plan a new wireframe, produce all new copy and design, and mock up some of the back-end functionality that would allow Thingamajob to be a truly conversion-friendly Web site. That's as far as it could go. Several corporate issues halted the project.
Ethan spent the next year learning, training, and tweaking the Web site. Finally (renegade that he is) he decided to release version 1.5 of the site and make his case. Ethan and his team worked evenings and weekends on a cosmetic site redesign, rewriting some key pages and streamlining forms to increase usability. Though no functionality was altered, he was sure he could show a positive ROI.
Thingamajob relaunched on April 15, 2004, with the cosmetic overhaul. Conversions increased almost 400 percent for new visitors and over 200 percent for return visitors. By reducing the fields in the job search form, Ethan's team reduced the percentage of zero results from 46 to 23. Thingamajob is a site where first impressions are critical. Latency doesn't play much of a role. Almost 100 percent of people who create an account do it on the first visit, and the vast majority post resumes, too.
Ethan proved his business case out of sheer tenacity and an incredible work ethic. In May 2004, management authorized Ethan to take a small team and finish developing the site. Sometime before October, version 2.0 of Thingamajob will launch.
Ethan isn't the corporate worlds' only white-hat renegade. We recently worked with David (his name has been changed to protect the innocent), a program manager for a large multinational company. We helped him increase conversions by over 700 percent.
David struggled to get the different business units he served to work with him to improve the content and persuasiveness of their own silo-like divisions. No one really wanted to change the status quo. David finally decided to take the knowledge he gained working with us and launch his own business.
Many companies have employees like David and Ethan. They care so much, they take it upon themselves to improve the site for the sake of visitors and, ultimately, for the companies they work for. I sincerely hope their managers take this column to heart and allow those driven employees to prove their business cases, run with them, and succeed.
