SAN JOSE, Calif., Dec. 11, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Global eCommerce sales will pass the $1.25 trillion mark in 2013, according to the Interactive Media in Retail Group (IMRG). As online retailers prepare to take advantage of this growth opportunity in the new year, a new survey of nearly 500 global retailers conducted by SLI Systems (www.sli-systems.com) shows improving conversions (63%) and attracting more customers to their websites (61%) continue to be their biggest challenges. As such, retailers plan to address these challenges by upgrading or changing their eCommerce platforms (18%), improving their site search functionality (18%) and SEO efforts (17%) and solidifying their mobile commerce strategies (15%).
To view the multimedia assets associated with this release, please click http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/global-survey-reveals-retailers-new-years-resolutions-for-ecommerce-and-site-search-to-drive-sales-in-2013-183023631.html
In order to ensure website visitors can more easily find the information and products they are looking for, retailers plan to focus on improving or adding A/B testing (52%), refinements (48%), merchandising capabilities (39%) and rich auto complete functionality (34%) to their site search strategies.
Mobile commerce will double in 2012, according to Internet Retailer, and this growth is predicted to continue in 2013. Retailers who took part in the SLI Survey support this prediction, as 40% plan to institute a mobile strategy in the New Year with 20% planning to build a mobile app. Of the retailers that already have a mobile site, 18% said they will take measures to improve the user experience and increase sales by enhancing site search functionality on their mobile sites.
Additional Survey Findings
Improving 2012 Holiday Shopping Outcomes
- Retailers took a number of actions this year in preparation for the 2012 holiday shopping season. More than 40% increased their SEO efforts and focused on better merchandising capabilities, while better refinements and navigation (38%) and improvements to ensure more relevant site search (34%) also topped the list of holiday website enhancements.
Adding Non-Product Features to Increase Usability
- In order to better educate customers and provide them the information needed to make purchase decisions, retailers also regard non-product related functionality and information important to increasing the effectiveness of their eCommerce efforts. More than half of retailers (57%) have already posted Twitter feeds to their sites, as well as articles and press releases (56%), blog posts (53%) and videos (53%). In the coming year, retailers plan to add additional non-product features to drive sales, including how-to-information, more video options and blog posts.

Cloud environments have created situations that allow users, customers, consumers, and employees to access Public, Intranet, and Extranet applications from different locations, devices, and as different personas. The focus of all the Internet and enterprise front-end applications today is to enhance the user experience. In addition, with advances in mobility and BYOD, the line between public and private becomes a deep shade of gray.
At the same time, organizations are leveraging SaaS applications, such as Google Apps and DropBox, for their internal business communication and collaboration. This opens up challenges in providing a universal identity for the user, while at the same time retaining the flexibility to segregate access depending on the scenario. While cloud computing environments may offer different levels of abstraction to its users, federated identity management does not leverage these abstractions; each user must set up her identity management solution. This situation is... Mar. 15, 2014 03:00 PM EDT Reads: 1,306 |
By Pat Romanski A myriad of new methodologies and technologies from cloud computing to BYOD have changed the IT landscape demonstrably. In parallel, higher-value functions around data, customer engagement and revenue growth are pushing CIOs to consider alternative approaches. The nexus is moving IT to a zero footprint infrastructure model. Organizations including Healthcare, Financial Services, Insurance and Airlines are moving in this direction. Unfortunately, traditional IT paradigms present a challenge to adopting these new methodologies. Mar. 15, 2014 03:00 PM EDT Reads: 1,135 |

By Elizabeth White In the Subscription Economy, purchase-to-use is winning, and purchase-to-own is on its way out. The key to success is that customers are actually using a product or service and in the Subscription Economy, the future is clear: delivering value drives revenue.

In his session at 14th Cloud Expo, Matthew Shanahan, SVP of Marketing and Strategy at Scout by Service Source, will discuss how businesses in industries such as telecom, SaaS, financial services, healthcare and education can, and are, leveraging data science methods to predict and avoid customer churn and increase revenue.

By Elizabeth White Netflix has long been known for being a leader and innovator in delivering its Netflix service by leveraging public cloud service provider, Amazon Web Services (AWS). However, Netflix's IT team wasn't quite there, and still had many legacy applications and infrastructure in place. One thing is to start a platform from the ground up solely leveraging cloud. It's an entirely different process to do so from a legacy environment to more SaaS based and infrastructure as a service. The goal for Netflix is to achieve 100% of this by beginning of 2015. Mike Kail joined Netflix in 2011 as VP of IT Operations and is tasked with ensuring that this migration happens as smoothly as possible. Mar. 14, 2014 10:28 AM EDT Reads: 988 |

By Liz McMillan The world's largest and most successful private cloud operations are revolutionizing their approach to demand management. These organizations have recognized that while self-service portals are a component in the overall cloud architecture, these tools do not enable demand management. In fact, in many cases the portals and end-user interfaces don't actually capture anything to do with demand, but instead force the user to enter the capacity "supply" requirements that they think will meet their demands. This is very different. Large enterprises have recognized the need to look beyond immediate requests to also model the "pipeline" of new demands that will be coming down the road. It is only by capturing new immediate requirements, an understanding of the pipeline and what is running in environments that organizations can possibly hope to accurately model demand and properly allocate compute, storage and network resources.

By Elizabeth White Almost everyone sees the potential of Internet of Things but how can businesses truly unlock that potential. The key will be in the ability to discover business insight in the midst of an ocean of Big Data generated from billions of embedded devices via Systems of Discover. Businesses will also need to ensure that they can sustain that insight by leveraging the cloud for global reach, scale and elasticity. Without bringing these three elements together via Systems of Discover you either end up with an Internet of somethings and/or a big mess of data.
In his session at @ThingsExpo, Mac Devine, a Distinguished Engineer at IBM, will focus on how to ensure businesses have the right plans in place for Systems of Discovery for the Internet-of-Things world we are entering. Mar. 4, 2014 09:00 AM EST Reads: 2,504 |

By Pat Romanski As businesses aspire to move more and more application workloads outside of the boundaries of their private cloud data centers, public cloud service providers are increasingly implementing a private cloud staple: resiliency.
In his session at 14th Cloud Expo, John Roese, SVP and Chief CTO at EMC Corporation, will summarize the key architectural tenets of resilient private cloud architectures. These tenets can be implemented in any service provider cloud implementation, regardless of hypervisor choice (e.g., VMware, Hyper-V, Xen), cloud orchestration software (e.g., vSphere, OpenStack), network implementation (e.g., SDN, NFV), or storage implementation (file, block, object). A resilient public cloud will naturally attract increased workload migration, and the rest of the session will describe foundational technologies that facilitate not only secure and seamless application workload migration, but secure and seamless data set migration as well.

As government agencies start to adopt cloud computing, additional challenges including security in the cloud have become prominent barriers to adoption.
In his session at 14th Cloud Expo, Majed Saadi, Director of the Cloud Computing Practice at SRA International, will focus on providing a quick Cloud Computing technology update with an emphasis on current Cloud Computing security trends and drivers. Examples of these trends include: the utilization and evaluation of Clouds in both active and passive surveillance systems and the use of High Performance Clouds for expanding scientist ability to access data. He will also introduces best practices and lessons learned for securing both public and private cloud environments.

By Elizabeth White With Windows Server 2003 end of extended support approaching, enterprises must begin their migration planning for all affected production applications. There are a variety of approaches and many people will take a "mix and match" approach. Whatever the approach, it's important to have a migration plan now – 200 business days goes by quickly when some applications take weeks to migrate. This is the perfect opportunity to move those applications to the Cloud. There's a way to move your applications and modernize (move to the cloud) at the same time.

By Pat Romanski Software development, like engineering, is a craft that requires the application of creative approaches to solve problems given a wide range of constraints. However, while engineering design may be craftwork, the production of most designed objects relies on a standardized and automated manufacturing process. By contrast, much of what's typically involved when moving an application from prototype to production and, indeed, maintaining the application through its lifecycle remains craftwork.

Many people associate chiropractic care with sore backs. Jeremy Bernath, a doctor of chiropractic, ends up working with a much broader group of patients, though. At HealthStrong Chiropractic and Rehabilitation, he oversees a team working to treat carpal tunnel, headaches, and a range of other issues. Because the back is connected to so many other systems, simple adjustments to the spine or changes in posture can help. The crew also relies on a range of high-tech equipment, x-ray machines, and computers that aren't grossed out by the human body.
As a board-certified acupuncturist and herbalist, Abraham Lim specializes in relieving chronic pain and helping his clients overcome ailments such as insomnia and depression. He accomplishes this by adopting a holistic and naturalistic approach that's based on the millennia-old teachings of traditional Chinese medicine.
Lim's acupuncture treatments mainly help clients find relief by correcting energetic imbalances and reenergizing the body's natural healing capabilities, but he can also use his ultra-thin needles for cosmetic purposes. Such procedures stimulate collagen production throughout the face to dramatically improve skin tone and texture without resorting to surgical facelifts or Botox injections. Herbal remedies similarly restore a sense of balance to the body as organic medicines derived from roots, bark, seeds, flowers, and leaves help alleviate symptoms caused by everything from allergies to fatigue.
At The Body Center, a staff of physical therapists works with Pilates instructors to mend injured bodies while strengthening clients' defenses against future discomfort. Individualized treatment plans help clients overcome the effects of auto accidents or sporting mishaps, such as trying to swim laps in an ice rink. The fleet of Stott-certified Pilates instructors take participants to the next fitness level by guiding them through a series of intricate moves on specialized equipment. Before stopping by for an appointment, consider loading the car with any unwanted backpacks, clothing, or baby supplies, as The Body Center serves as a collection site for local charities.
Doctor of Chiropractic Frank Castiglione has been realigning spines for nearly 20 years. In addition to fixing backs, his adjustments help alleviate migraines, hip pain, and sports injuries. When not in the office, he also serves as the athletics chiropractor for Upland High School and Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

Caterpillar claim their C175-20 genset offers greatest power output of any high-speed diesel
The 20-cylinder C175 produces the greatest power output of any single high-speed diesel generator set available on the market, producing up to 4 MW of power, requiring less maintenance and provides the highest power density of any current high-speed generator set.
"The C175-20 represents a true breakthrough in generator set technology," said Robert Koval, Investors Projects general manager of Caterpillar Electric Power Division. "Others have made promises about similar offerings, but the C175 is the largest high-speed generator on the market, period. And better yet, it's available today."
The C175-20 package is built on the proven C175 platform, which has demonstrated its reliability in Cat® machines and other power generation applications. The C175-20 is built with the same core engine parts as the C175-16, which has been in use across the globe in a variety of applications since 2008.
Because they're built with the same basic engine design and to the same engineering targets, the C175-20 is as reliable and durable as the current C175-16 generator set. The high power density of the C175-20 generator set provides more power from a smaller footprint.
A single 4 MW C175-20 represents a 55 percent reduction in footprint when compared with two 2 MW 3516B generator sets and a 28 percent reduction when compared with a 4MW 3612.

They got all the brains and the beauty while you got stuck with.. What? Nothing. Well, you were pretty artistic, but they don't care about that.

Birthday Cold (ItalyXSick!Reader)Sunny skies, cool breeze, today was perfect. Well, for everyone but you, anyway. The sun shone in through the window and you hissed as it hit your face. You tunnelled further down into the comfort of the warm, striped blankets surrounding your shivering body. A single bird chirped outside your window, but the sound was cut off as eyes blocked themselves once more.Sniffing pathetically, you cursed your bad luck of catching a cold at the worst possible time. It was your birthday today, and it was never fun to be sick on your birthday. You pounded the pillow next to you with your fist and coughed. You couldn't stop or breath properly and you felt like crying.You cried out and sat up, leaning over as you felt the urge to vomit. A strange smell wafted into your room. It was a nice smell, one of pasta sauce. Great, now my nose is acting up too! You frowned and pulled back your sheets, heading into the bathroom to blow your nose on the toilet paper.When you came back, your ears

Not literally invisible of course, but invisible to your little brother and his girlfriend, who were going out on their first date.Now, trying to keep out of sight with an Italian is hard work. Mainly because the Italian:a) Wears bright colorsb) Makes no effort to move quietlyc) Won't shut upd) Starts complaining after a whileTo be honest, you weren't quite sure why you brought Feli of all people with you, when Kiku the ninja was obviously the best choice. However, you were too shy to mention this fact, so you stayed quiet.You and Feli, who was chattering about pasta, followed them through a path in the woods, ignoring all the animals that seemed to cry out in response to Feli. Every once in a while, your brother would look back, coming out of his happy place whenever Feli was too loud, but you would make a little noise like "eep!" and jump behind a tree while Feli, still no

It was a beautiful, sunny day, and the weather was perfect for playing some soccer- or football, as they call it everywhere other than America- with your best friend, Feliciano. The cheerful Italian loved the sport, as did you. You had been to see his friend Ludwig at his place already (which was where he usually was when he wasn't with you) and had had no luck in finding him, so you decided to try his own house.The door was opened, and you saw the darker-haired of the two Italian brothers glaring at you. Oh, great..."Hi, Lovino," you said, smiling sweetly and waving. Your cute grin caused him to blush a bit. "Is Feliciano around?"He scowled and his hazel eyes flashed. "Hell if I know," he snapped, and slammed the door in your face.You sighed, not really expecting any other response from the constantly PMSing guy. You'd think he could at least be civil one day of the year...Glancing around as if your bubbly friend would pop

Well, you guessed it was a date at least. Your little Italian friend, Feliciano, had asked you to come with him to the park to hang out. When you asked if Ludwig or Kiku or any of his other school friends were coming, he just smiled and said "Nope~! Just you and me!" Feliciano was such a laid back person but, damn, he was complicated. You'd see him flirting with girls, then he'd act all childish and inncoent around you. You loved the Italian to death but he seemed to be toying with you. But he was so naive! How could he toy with you if he just flirted unintentionally? "________!" you heard someone yell. You looked up to see Feli running towards you then skid to a stop an inch away from your face. He smiled and wrapped his arms around you. "Ciao, _______~!" You smiled softly, "Ciao, Feli." "I'm-a so glad yo

He is blushing, his smile that of a dreamer. It almost seems like he looks trough rose-tinted glasses. He probably does so."Ve~ She's so pretty!"

Light waves played with the side of the ship he was on and a zephyr toyed with his hair with frivolity matching that of the sea. The afternoon sun warmed his skin and clothes. The brilliance of the aforementioned celestial body made him squint through his examination of the sky. A few clouds were enjoying the blue sky as well, and none were gray with a sour mood. It was a perfect day for sailing.Ships were very comfortable to Feliciano; he grew up fishing, among other Mediterranean activities. The Mediterranean had always been kind and nurturing to his family, supplying them with copious fish and an enjoyable - albeit temperamental - playground.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) -January 31, 2012 (WPVI) -- Actress Cynthia Nixon is trying to clarify her earlier remarks that got her in hot water with some fellow gay rights activists.
The "Sex and the City" star's personal life became an exercise in the politics of sexual orientation last week when The New York Times Magazine quoted Nixon saying that for her, being gay was a conscious choice. Nixon has been in a relationship with a woman for eight years. Before that, she spent 15 years and had two children with a man.
After some gay rights activists complained that Nixon's remarks could be used to deny a biological basis for homosexuality, the actress on Monday released a statement to The Advocate magazine explaining she is technically bisexual, and not by choice.
Nixon told the magazine: "What I have 'chosen' is to be in a gay relationship."

Mike Lee blazes new kind of tea party influence
1st-term senator became key voice in debt debate
SALT LAKE CITY — Shortly after arriving in Washington after his election, Sen. Mike Lee placed a call to Chris Chocola, an influential former Congressman.
Lee told Chocola, the president of the conservative advocacy group Club for Growth, that he wanted to pass a Constitutional balanced budget amendment he had started drafting before even taking office, and asked for his support. To Chocola, the exchange showed how serious Lee was about keeping the promises he'd made during his campaign.
Fast-forward six months. For a freshman senator from a relatively small state, Lee played a surprisingly large role in shaping the recent discussion about raising the nation's debt limit. On July 7, with less than a month to go before the Aug. 2 debt-ceiling deadline and no firm proposals on file in Congress, Lee introduced the Cut, Cap and Balance Act of 2011, which required a balanced budget amendment. About two weeks later, Lee's new book, "The Freedom Agenda: Why a Balanced Budget Amendment Is Necessary to Restore Constitutional Government," went on sale.
"We've found ourselves in a strange moment in time with this big debt ceiling debate consuming everything," said Kirk Jowers, director of the Hinckley Institute of Politics at the University of Utah. "And without question Mike Lee was a key voice in that debate."
After only seven months in office, it's too early to tell what kind of impact Lee will have during his six-year term as a Senator. But Lee's role in the recently concluded debt-limit debate and his willingness to endorse up-and-coming Republican Congressional candidates suggest that the junior senator from Utah is making good on his campaign promise to infuse tea-party principles into the national political debate.
"Six or seven months ago, there was serious talk in Washington of another stimulus package of more new spending," Lee said. "Now, we're talking about cutting trillions of dollars from the federal budget over the next few years, and we're actually talking seriously about a balanced budget amendment."
After Lee narrowly emerged victorious in June 2010 from a tooth-and-nail Republican primary with Tim Bridgewater, a chorus of dissident voices started haranguing Lee for being too ideological to effectively function in the Senate. Chief among these was Jim Bennett, a lifelong Republican and the son of outgoing Sen. Bob Bennett, who crossed party lines and became a paid staffer for Sam Granato, Lee's Democrat opponent in the general election.
"If (Lee) is elected, he will either be ineffective as a senator, or he will disappoint many of the followers who helped elect him," Jim Bennett said in the weeks leading up to the general election.
Undeterred by the naysayers, Lee started drafting a balanced budget amendment before even taking office. The call to Chocola soon followed. Lee quickly established himself as a rising star, regularly appearing on cable news shows, and before long under-the-radar Congressional candidates started reaching out to him for his support. To date, Lee has met with 10 candidates who seek his endorsement for the 2012 election.
"Mike Lee is a credible tea party Constitutional conservative, so whoever he supports, people will see that and see a credible candidate," said Brendan Steinhauser, the director of federal and state campaigns for FreedomWorks. "There are a few senators, if they endorse someone, that I take note of, that we consider, that we say they're probably a good guy. One of those is Mike Lee, and the other is probably Jim DeMint. Mike Lee's (endorsement) is a good signal to us that he's probably vetted this candidate, and that candidate is probably rock-solid on their issues."
So far Lee has endorsed two Republicans running for open Senate seats: former Texas solicitor general Ted Cruz, and Rep. Jeff Flake, a BYU alum representing Arizona in the House. Because of the cachet Lee's name carries in tea party circles, deciding to issue those endorsements is no small gesture.

Here comes the first 12" of Intuit´s new album "Intuit"! Welcome to the wonder of Planet Birth, with this first single accompanying the fabulous and high acclaiming debut album! The first remix is by Xantoné Blacq (Vinyl Junkies). Xantoné found time beside producing his first solo album, to contribute some deep jazz funk with a little disco flavor to his version of "Planet Birth". He added more seventies synthesized sounds to the original afro jazz version & of course Xantoné did not pass on the unique lyrics by Andy Bey, how could he! "Bubblin´ Jam" happens just like that, jammin´ with Ray Obiedo on the guitar, and Doug Carn drops over for a piano solo. That Franck and his baritone also turn up at the studio. Toshio Matsuura has been a founding members of U.F.O., and also co-founder of Brownswood Studios with U.F.O. and Gilles Peterson! With "Western Sunrise", Toshio creates an easy flowing bossa, with slight percussion as the balance point. He also set value to the vocals of Andy Bey. The track lets everything end in harmony.

Inventory Available For RTB Grew 35% In 2013; Supply And Demand Evening Out
The growth rate of inventory made available on real-time bidding (RTB) exchanges was precipitous in 2012, and while it tapered off in 2013, it still carried some headlong speed throughout the year.
Around the globe, publishers put 35% more inventory into the exchange-traded media marketplace in 2013. That figure is down from the 101% growth rate it saw in 2012 compared to 2011, but diminishing returns came into play and supply and demand has started to balance out.
That's according to Arthur Muldoon, co-founder and CEO of Accordant Media, which today released its Q4 Programmatic Pulse Report. Muldoon told RTM Daily that until the holiday period, the supply and demand was near equilibrium.
"For the holidays, we saw that inventory was pre-sold upfront — guaranteed. So that took some inventory off of exchanges," Muldoon explained. Despite this trend, there was still a 37% increase in available impressions in Q4 2013 compared to Q3 (6% increase in the U.S.).
In the graph below, one can see how supply (blue) dropped dramatically toward the end of December while demand (orange) remained steady, which supports Muldoon's theory of upfront buys occurring around the holiday season.
Muldoon called the year as a whole "incredibly vibrant" in regards to innovation. He said the market saw lower prices, more inventory and new market players, namely agencies or even marketers directly. He called 2013 "the year of audience targeting," and noted that "the marketplace was really opportunistic because of [the balance between] pricing and inventory."
"There are many more buyers and participants than compared to a year ago," Muldoon said. "There was a large influx of inventory in the past 18 months because you had Facebook coming online with the Facebook Exchange, and you had a really large influx of mobile participants. Now it's reaching equilibrium. We expect prices to be stable and tight going throughout this year."
The report also covers programmatic ad viewability, a hot topic in the market and one that could have a sizable impact on trading and pricing. Additionally, if viewability concerns are put to rest, more brand dollars could make their way into RTB exchanges. Viewability is defined as 50% of an ad being in-view for at least one second.
Muldoon pointed out that, in general, the more money advertisers spend for impressions, the more likely the ad is to be viewable. "Advertisers willing to pay four times the cost can gain a 20% improvement in viewability rates," the report reads.
This might seem like common sense, but it's not always true. For example, when the clear price of an ad was $4-6, the chance the ad was viewable was actually slightly less than ads with a clear price of $2-4, per the report.
The report did find a clear connection between the amount of time ads spend in-view and conversion rates. Ads that were in view for less than four seconds had below-average conversion rates. Ads that were in view for at least five seconds but less than one minute led to conversion rates about 30% above average. Finally, ads that were in view for at least 60 seconds led to conversion rates 50% above average.

- These are the kinds of stats that advertisers and developers should be taking into consideration and getting more excited about as they look to the year ahead. Especially in terms of mobile RTB, there's no putting it off any longer. I really believe its about to blow up. All signs point to that eventuality.

I have been working at Quiktrak full-time for more than 3 years
Pros – They do a great job of creating a positive company culture and the work environment is extremely low stress.
Cons – Salaries are a little on the low side and since people stay at the company forever, it takes a lot of time to move up.
Advice to Senior Management – Management genuinely cares about the well being of the employees and is doing a great job.
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend

We book to stay in the Whitford Hotel & were told they had a Superior Delux Family room available with a Queen, Double and a single bed. This sounded fantastic so we booked as the photos of the hotel on the web look fantastic. When we arrived & went to our room we were so disapointed with the room it was tiny & dated there was no queen bed just a double & two singles with a pull out bed underneath one of them. There was hardly any room to pull out the bed either. The bathrooms were awful & dirty. The photos on the web were misleading as to what we got. My parents also stayed in the hotel & there room was a double. It was considerable better than ours but still not up to the standard you would expect for a 4 star hotel. Having said that the staff were very friendly & the food was very good.

Bought the bike I was after at a good price. Delivery was also on time. However read the returns options for bikes specifically not just the top 365 returns headline and paragraph. My own fault I guess as I tested the bike and found it slightly too big, I was not worried as I thought I could return it on these grounds. The top returns paragraph apparently does not apply to bikes so now as its used (one ride up and down the street) I cannot exchange it.

My Layman's Explanation Of MREITs In The Current Market. Did I Get It Right? [View instapost]
Investors are leaving mREITs because their book value is dropping, and because they will have to take some losses to re-position themselves in a rising long term rate environment. Fundamentally though, I think they have a strong position at least through 2015.
