Rayquaza would be great as a legendary companion. I love its flying/dragon type as well
Huge thanks to Blue Dragon for my EPIC avatar & sig
I'd go with a Mew for sure. It looks cool, isn't gigantic and can transform into any Pokemon.
Latios! love it's type combination
I don't use "uber" Pokemon, I don't calculate stat values, I don't use cheating devices, I don't breed my way to perfection, and I don't care about natures. I catch my Pokemon the way they are, and treat them like individuals instead of brainless drones. If you use this philosophy, copy & paste this into your signature
Either Mew or Mewtwo. Definitely my two favorite legendaries and up at the top of my list of favourite Pokémon in general.
If I had to choose one... maybe Mew? Mew's cuter and she's rarer / more elusive, game-wise. Then again, Mewtwo has an awesome backstory and is even rarer than Mew, story-wise. But StrikingMidfield brings up a good point about the Transform...
Mew has, is and will always be my favourite!
Now I can use my Gene Wedge (Polymerisation card) to fuse my M E W and my A X E W
to summon MAXEW
Reshiram, because they are fluffy and cuddly, and perfect for cold winter.

For the first time in history – income will have a greater influence on food security than population. During the Taming Agricultural Risks meeting at the Chicago Federal Reserve, Purdue Extension agricultural economist Dr. Mike Boehlje said growth in terms of incomes is critical to the long-term growth of agriculture.
In this Precision Pays Podcast, sponsored by Ag Leader Technology, we'll take a look at why income growth is important to agriculture, and ultimately the technology that's used to make farmer produce more efficiently.

Cell-mediated Immune Response to Influenza Vaccine
- Full Text View

- How to Read a Study Record
Influenza virus is an important cause of morbidity in the transplant population and can lead to viral and bacterial pneumonia. Although the annual influenza vaccine is recommended for organ transplant patients, studies have shown that the standard inactivated influenza vaccine has poor immunogenicity in this population. One major hurdle in the evaluation of the response of influenza vaccine in immunocompromised patients is the lack of correlation between humoral response and efficacy of the vaccine. In patients with poor immune responses, cellular immunity may have a better correlation than humoral immunity with vaccine protection. We plan to assess the utility of 3 assays that evaluate the cell-mediated immune response (granzyme B, interleukin-10 (IL-10), and interferon-gamma (IFN-)) after influenza vaccine in kidney transplant recipients. Results from this study have the potential to directly improve patient care. The new monitoring assays may more accurately determine the risk for development of influenza infection, and therefore allowing a better prevention strategy.
Study Type: | Observational |
Study Design: | Observational Model: Case Control Time Perspective: Prospective |
Official Title: | Humoral and Cell-mediated Immune Response to Influenza Vaccine in Kidney Tranpslant Recipients. |

Hide Detailed Description
Detailed Description:
There is limited prospective data on influenza infections in transplant recipients. However, influenza can be a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in some organ transplant populations. Reported attack rates have varied considerably and are likely due to differences in transplant populations, immunosuppression protocols, exposures, and type and virulence of circulating influenza viruses. Complications of influenza infection appear to be common in solid organ transplant (SOT) populations. There appears to be a relatively high rate of progression to viral pneumonia in some reports especially in lung transplant recipients. In one study of organ transplant recipients over a 10-year period, the rate of influenza infection ranged from 2.8 cases/1000 person years (liver transplant) to 41.8 cases/1000 person years (lung transplant). Complications including secondary bacterial pneumonia (17%) as well as extrapulmonary complications such as myocarditis, and myositis were observed. Influenza (and other respiratory viral infections) may lead to important immunological sequelae resulting in graft rejection and/or graft dysfunction. This may be secondary to activation of immunological mechanisms, including the upregulation of pro-inflammatory cytokines such as TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-8. Some studies of kidney and liver recipients have reported a high incidence of acute rejection following infection with influenza. However, while associations between influenza infection and rejection have been reported, a causal relationship has yet to be established.
Influenza vaccination has become the standard of care for several population groups. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Canadian National Advisory Committee on Immunization (NACI) currently recommends this vaccine for children > 6 months, healthy adults, the elderly and all immunocompromised patients such as those with organ transplants (www.cdc.gov). The currently available influenza vaccine is a subunit vaccine containing the purified surface glycoproteins of the virus, hemagglutinin and neuraminidase. The vaccine contains 15g antigen from each of 2 circulating subtypes of influenza A and 15 g of an influenza B subtype (www.who.int). The vaccine is administered by the intramuscular route, generally in the deltoid muscle in adults. The standard dose is 0.5 mL.
Annual influenza vaccination is currently considered the main strategy to prevent influenza infection for all organ transplant recipients. However, a large number of studies have shown that the immunogenic response to this vaccine is suboptimal and ranges from 15-70%. This number varies depending on the organ transplanted and the immunosuppressive regimen used. Indeed, some studies in kidney transplant recipients, especially in the pediatric population, have shown similar responses to the influenza vaccine than in healthy controls.
Monitoring of immune response to influenza vaccine. Laboratory monitoring of response to influenza vaccine can be done by hemagglutination inhibition assay. Although laboratory serology is a surrogate marker for protection, it is widely used. This is primarily due to the large numbers of patients that would be needed to show vaccine efficacy if documented influenza infection were used as the outcome. The HIA is also used by the World Health Organization to validate annual vaccines. However, it is not known if the criteria used for the general population may be applied in immunocompromised patients. In fact, in the elderly it has been clearly proved that the standard cutoff for antibody levels of 40 units did not protect against influenza. In a study with 397 elderly vaccinated against influenza, 60% of persons who developed influenza had an antibody level of 40 units. To our knowledge, the absolute titer of antibody required to confer significant protection from illness is unknown in transplant patients.
Cell-mediated immunity after influenza vaccination. Recently, specific cellular responses have also been implicated in protection against influenza, independently of the humoral response. Cellular mediated immunity has been evaluated measuring IL-2 and IFN-(for T-helper type 1 response), IL-10 (for T-helper type 2 response), and granzyme B expression (which correlates with lytic activation). The cell-mediated immune response has been mainly used to evaluate the response to influenza vaccine in the elderly. In a study with 90 persons >60 year-old, the IFN-/IL-10 ratio and granzyme B levels were significantly higher in persons who did not develop influenza during the follow-up, compared to persons who developed influenza. There was no correlation between the antibody levels and the risk of developing influenza infection. In a previous study, granzyme B levels were found to be higher in young people than in old people. Taken together, these data suggest that cell-mediated immune response may correlate better with the risk of influenza after vaccination.
The cell-mediated immune response after influenza vaccine has been only assessed in one study involving solid organ recipients. Mazzone et al. evaluated in 43 lung transplant recipients and in 21 healthy controls. IL-2, IL-10, IFN-, and granzyme B levels did not increase from pre- to post-vaccination in the lung transplant group. Both pre- and post-cytokine levels were lower in the transplant group compared to the control group.
The study we propose is a prospective cohort trial designed to assess the immunogenicity after a standard influenza vaccination measuring the cellular immunity in a cohort of kidney transplant recipients, and correlate it with the standard humoral immunity.

Set an Email Reminder for Shameless
When: Sunday, April 7, 2013 9:00 PM
Why is it so good to watch people do bad? Does it make us a bad person to enjoy this sort of thing? We think that if this were a reality series, it might be bad of us to enjoy this, but it isn't, it's a scripted series--a scripted series that will return with a new season next year--so it's probably okay. "Shameless," based on the British original series, stars (amongst others) William H Macy and Emmy Rossum and is sure to end the season with a few fireworks... maybe even actual fireworks, we wouldn't dare to guess.

save the quarterback...save the season
...bottom line...give Brady some time and he will get it done. Get him killed on almost every dropback and we go nowhere!
Did anyone see the time Brees had yesterday? It was a thing of beauty, the perfect pocket...How about Rivers...he had a perfect pocket and damned his weapons down the field are pretty hard to beat. For one season, I would love to see Brady with a legit probowl WR or TE! It would be great even for just one season. Unfortunately, I will probably happen when Brady is 34-36 and is too haggared and beaten to throw over 10 yards! |

A simple and reliable method for measuring NDPase activity in sub-cellular fractions based on the detection of the inorganic phosphate released from NDP by the appropriate NDPase. The color formation, measured at 700 nm in the presence of molybdate, is proportional to the amount of the inorganic phosphate released by enzymes.
1 unit of NDPase releases 1 μmole of inorganic phosphate per minute at 25 °C under conditions specified by the assay.
GDPases/UDPases (NDPases) in yeasts are located exclusively in the Golgi complex and are a convenient marker for Golgi detection. NDPs are degraded to NMPs by nucleoside diphosphatase (GDPase/UDPase). The NMPs are then used in antiport transport of new nucleotide sugars into the organelle lumen. ADPases are known to be expressed on the cell plasma membrane (endothelial cells and vascular precursors) where they participate in nucleotide metabolism.

"Excellent central location"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Feb 9, 2013
Excellent central location; friendly and knowledgeable staff, large breakfast buffet and very good price for the value. Would definitely stay in this hotel again when I come back.
"A very adequate property"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Jan 29, 2013
Quality Inn Portus Cale was a functional, if not notable, choice for staying in Porto. Value for price was good, and everything worked (although I had a bit of a hard time adjusting the heat in the room). Off street parking is a must if you have a car, and the hotel has it, if at a price. My room was comfortable and functional, and slightly larger than a lot of European hotels provide. I'd stay again for the value, although I might explore other options if I had a recommendation from a local.

The hotel is 10 minutes away from the metro station which is clean, unexpensive and reliable. It takes about 20 minutes to get to the "real" downtown where the attractions are. Our room was large, clean and confortable. The staff was very helpful, friendly, and speaks English fluently. The breakfast buffet is large and of good quality. The hotel sells bus and Aquarium tickets at a discounted price, so you get a great deal and you don't have to wait in line.

The earliest known image macro was posted on the picture hosting site Chan4Chan[7] on January 20th, 2009, which featured a photograph taken during filming of the 2009 comedy film The Rebound in which a man representing the /b/ (random) board exposes himself to a family representing the Internet (shown below).
On April 24th, 2009, an image macro featuring a Hentai screen capture of a naked woman in bed with a crying young boy (shown below) was posted to the website My[confined]Space[1] (shown below).
On October 1st, an exploitable template image was posted on the /b/ board on 4chan, which featured a side for photos representing the Internet and a side for images representing the /b/ board (shown below, left). The thread received many replies with custom versions of the image (shown below).
On June 7th, 2010, FunnyJunk[5] user joshic submitted a compilation of Internet vs. 4chan image macros, which gained over 8,200 views and 200 up votes in the first three years. On October 30th, 2011, DeviantArtist Mezkalito4p uploaded a My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic animated GIF in which Pinkie Pie drinking chocolate rain is depicted as 4chan (shown below).
On August 7th, 2012, YouTuber Filip Hjelm uploaded a video titled "Internet vs. 4chan," which compared the treatment of newcomers on 4chan with Reddit, 9gag and FunnyJunk (shown below).
On September 14th, Redditor TheShrubberyDemander submitted an image macro featuring a naked man laying upside down next to a flower arrangement to the /r/4chan[8] subreddit (shown below, left). Prior to being archived, the post garnered upwards of 930 up votes and 10 comments. On May 23rd, 2013, FunnyJunk[6] user arneanka submitted an animated GIF titled "4chan vs. Rest of the Internet" showing a baboon placing its rear end against the glass at a zoo (shown below, right).

Written by Jiordan Castle
While USF appears to have many Greek colonies, the vast majority of fraternities and sororities on campus is service-based and/or academic-oriented. The socially based Greek groups are often affiliated with a particular culture or special interest, whereas only one of each fraternity and sorority is based solely on social interest. Since the University isn't particularly interested in having more social Greek groups, and there's absolutely no pressure to join one, there's a blatant lack of interest in Greek life at USF. There are no designated houses on campus (or anywhere, for that matter)—just a random assortment of sweatshirts with Greek letters being worn to class, so most students are oblivious to any kind of Greek presence at school.
Though Greek life is hard to come by, designated fraternities and sororities maintain quite a bit of involvement in major campus events, like Homecoming, the annual Greek Games, a Thanksgiving potluck, a Christmas clothing drive, and quite a few mixers and socials. The annual USF Idol competition has become increasingly popular, what with the Greek Council focusing on promoting a stronger presence on campus. While the majority of students chooses not to participate in Greek life, there is still the opportunity to do so at USF, without the fear of being bombarded by it, like you might be at a larger university.

It resteth now that I distinguish the seeming plenties of mony from that which is only substantial and able to perform the work: For there are divers ways and means whereby to procure plenty of mony into a Kingdom, which do not enrich but rather empoverish the same by the several inconveniences which ever accompany such alterations.
As first, if we melt down our plate into Coyn (which suits not with the Majesty of so great a Kingdom, except in cases of great extremity) it would cause Plenty of mony for a time, yet should we be nothing the richer, but rather this treasure being thus altered is made the more apt to be carried out of the Kingdom, if we exceed our means by excess in forraign wares, or maintain a war by Sea or Land, where we do not feed and cloath the Souldier and supply the armies with our own native provisions, by which disorders our treasure will soon be exhausted.
Again, if we think to bring in store of money by suffering forraign Coins to pass current at higher rates than their intrinsick value compared with our Standard, or by debasing or by enhancing our own moneys, all these have their several inconveniencies and difficulties, (which hereafter I will declare), but admitting that by this means plenty of money might be brought into the Realm, yet should we be nothing the richer, neither can such treasure so gotten long remain with us. For if the stranger or the English Merchants bring in this money, it must be done upon a valuable consideration, either for wares carried out already, or after to be exported, which helps us nothing except the evil occasions of excess or war aforenamed be removed which do exhaust our treasure: for otherwise, what one man bringeth for gain, another man shall be forced to carry out for necessity; because there shall ever be a necessity to ballance our Accounts with strangers, although it should be done with loss upon the rate of the money, and Confiscation also if it be intercepted by the Law.
How we must get Treasure to make it our own.The conclusion of this business is briefly thus. That as the treasure which is brought into the Realm by the ballance of our forraign trade is that money which onely doth abide with us, and by which we are enriched: so by this plenty of money thus gotten (and no otherwise) do our Lands improve. For when the Merchant hath a good dispatch beyond the Seas for his Cloth and other wares, he doth presently return to buy up the greater quantity, which raiseth the price of our Woolls and other commodities, and consequently doth improve the Landlords Rents as the Leases expire daily: And also by this means money being gained, and brought more abundantly into the Kingdom, it doth enable many men to buy Lands, which will make them the dearer. But if our forraign trade come to a stop or declination by neglect at home or injuries abroad, whereby the Merchants are impoverished, and thereby the wares of the Realm less issued, then do all the said benefits cease, and our Lands fall of price daily.

Chechen militant leader Doku Umarov has been tied to the terrorist attack in late January at Moscow's Domodedovo International Airport, North Caucasus Federal District presidential envoy Alexander Khloponin said on Friday.
The powerful blast that ripped through the international arrivals hall of Moscow's busiest airport on January 24 killed 36 people and injured more than 100.
"There is involvement; Doku Umarov's participation is being investigated," Khloponin told journalists.
Khloponin added, however, that in his opinion Umarov "is no longer as influential as before in the Caucasus in regard to defining positions or setting tasks."
Earlier reports said Chechen warlord Umarov, who claimed responsibility for the deadly Moscow subway bombings in March, could have been killed in a special operation in January. A source in the Russian special services refuted the rumors saying there were "no facts."
"Police are continuing the search for the gang leader and the search will go on until he is killed or detained despite [rumors] that he died, ran or is hiding in a hole," Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov told reporters in mid-January commenting on the information on Umarov's death.
In the past years, there have been several reports about the death of Umarov, currently Chechnya's most wanted terrorist leader, but all have been proven false.
Several of the most notorious North Caucasus militant leaders have been killed in the past ten years, including Shamil Basayev, Khalim Saidullayev, Aslan Maskhadov, and Emir Ibn al Khattab.

Estimates of the Output Gap in Armenia with Applications to Monetary and Fiscal Policy
This paper employs several econometric techniques to estimate the Armenian output gap. The findings indicate that the output gap is significantly positive in 2007 and 2008 and decreased dramatically in 2009. The paper uses these results to estimate a New Keynesian Phillips curve for Armenia, suggesting a significant role of the output gap and inflation expectations in determining current inflation. Finally, the underlying fiscal stance over the period 2000-09 is assessed by estimating the cyclically-adjusted fiscal balance. Most of Armenia's fiscal deficit is found to be structural. Fiscal policy, while providing counter-cyclical support in 2009, has been largely pro-cyclical in the past.Download Info

The Problem With Princesses
June 10, 2009
Over on The Root, Monique Fields laments the fact that her girly girl daughter is into princesses and sparkles, declaring, "Enough with the princesses!"
Whatever in the world do princesses do? More importantly, how do they get paid? Real life is not a fairy tale, and few folks live happily ever after. So just what are we telling our girls when we dress them up in frilly dresses, dust them with makeup and put glitter in their hair before they really know who they are?
I went through stages of obsession with all of the Disney princesses as a little girl, but I can assure you that I never wanted actually be a princess, and I knew this wasn't reality. Kids are pretty smart -- they know the difference, and they know that fairy tales are just for fun. We should let them have that fun while we can, as reality will set in all too soon. (I still want to dress up in frilly dresses and put glitter in my hair, but since it's less socially acceptable for an adult, I'm glad I got it out of my system as a little girl.)
What do you think? Is Fields right, or are princesses harmless?

According to his account, he then put on his prostheses and tried to kick down the locked toilet door, and battered it with a cricket bat to get to his girlfriend after realising what he had done.

Mark Richt
When Auburn unveiled its spread offense last December in the Chick-fil-A Bowl win over Clemson, some initial struggles were expected.
What wasn't expected was being hindered by the officials.
"There were times where we were standing around waiting for them to spot the ball so we could go," Auburn center Jason Bosley said at the SEC Media Days in Hoover, Ala. "We were like, 'Get out of the way, please.' Our coaches were yelling at us to go faster, and we couldn't go any faster because they were in the way."
For teams such as Auburn and Tennessee, which have new offensive coordinators seeking to quicken the pace, help could be coming soon.
In February, the NCAA Football Rules Committee voted to implement a 40/25-second play clock similar to what the NFL employs. Instead of using a 25-second clock that doesn't start until officials mark the ball ready for play, college football will now use a 40-second clock that will start at the end of the preceding play.
The 25-second clock still will be used on the first play following a change of possession, as well as after penalties, measurements and timeouts.
"For all of our lives in college football, we've been used to the referee making the ball ready for play and starting the 25-second clock on every single play," said Rogers Redding, the SEC's coordinator of officials. "For the first time in the history of college football, that's not going to be the case most of the time. The way it's going to work is when the ball is dead without any signal from the referee, just a dead-ball signal from the covering official, the 40-second clock will start ticking down.
"The referee will not declare it ready for play. It will be ready for play when the umpire places the ball on the ground and steps away."
The NCAA has implemented several rules changles this season, some of which affect the clock:
— Following a play that goes out of bounds, the game clock will now start on the referee's signal and not on the snap, with the exception of the last two minutes of each half.
— The play clock will be set to 40 seconds and will start when the ball becomes dead on the previous play. A 25-second clock that will begin on the referee's signal will be used after a penalty administration, measurement, change of possession and timeouts, whether they be charged, media or injury.
Other new rules
— A facemask penalty will be for twisting, turning or pulling and will result in a 15-yard penalty. The incidental 5-yard facemask has been eliminated.
— Players are prohibited from "horse-collar" tackles, in which they grab the inside back collar of the shoulder pads or jersey and pull the runner down. Any such tackle outside the tackle box will result in a 15-yard penalty, but the rule will not apply to a runner inside the tackle box or a quarterback in the pocket.
— Any contact initiated with the crown of a helmet will result in a 15-yard penalty. If it's even questionable, then it's a foul.
South Carolina coach Steve Spurrier said the new rule, which is the NCAA's third major clock-related change in as many years, favors no-huddle offenses and allows quarterbacks more time to read defenses. Georgia's Mark Richt labeled himself "jealous" when asked about the change, because he tried to play fast earlier this decade with David Greene at quarterback.
Richt turned over play-calling to offensive coordinator Mike Bobo late in the 2006 season, and the Bulldogs continue to maintain a controlled approach.
"Seven years ago, I would have been thrilled about it," Richt said. "My ambition was to play as fast as we could possibly play and run the no-huddle and get to the line of scrimmage as fast as possible and get the ball snapped in a hurry and run as many plays as possible. We were not allowed to do that.
"In my opinion, the officials in this league were more deliberate than in any league I had been. The SEC, to me, was grinding it to a halt. Now, all of a sudden, you can play as fast as you want to play."
Offenses still can't substitute freely or go from one personnel group to another and snap the ball quickly, and defenses still will get time to make their own personnel changes. Yet SEC coaches agree that offenses that want to go fast can go faster now, or they can stay at the line of scrimmage a lot longer.
"The officials are going to get out of the way, and there might still be 30 or 32 seconds on that 40-second clock, where before the most you would ever have is 25 at the line," Richt said. "I think you're going to see more teams quick-snapping it, and I think you're going to see more teams also simulating like they're going to quick-snap to try to recognize what's going on and then sit there at the line of scrimmage and have literally 20 or 25 seconds to deliberate.
"That might drive some people nuts. I don't know."
Georgia receiver Mohamed Massaquoi and defensive tackle Jeff Owens admitted they expect to be better educated on the clock change at the start of preseason camp, but Tennessee tailback Arian Foster said the Vols experimented with it all spring. Foster said the coaches, especially new offensive coordinator Dave Clawson, preached tempo and emphasized getting in and out of the huddle more than they had in the past.
Tennessee head coach Phillip Fulmer likes the new rule.
"We managed it pretty well this spring," Fulmer said. "That's not at Auburn or Georgia, you know, with the crowd noise and the intensity that will be. But our system allowed us to work and maximize the potential that you can get from the clock, whether it's fast-huddle or if you wanted to milk the clock.
"Some people say we'll lose some plays from it, but if we play offensively like we did in the spring, I don't think we'll lose any plays."
Trying to shorten games — because television networks aren't reducing their commercial time — was the primary motive for the change. Another new rule that should have a bigger impact in that aspect is the game clock now will start once the ball has been made ready following a play that goes out of bounds.
Under old rules, the game clock would not start until the snap, and the old rules have been left in place for the final two minutes of the half and game.
Two years ago, sweeping changes that included starting the game clock after changes of possession resulted in the length of games going from 3 hours, 21 minutes to 3:07. There were roughly 13 fewer plays a game, however, and five fewer points per contest than the year before.
When the NCAA scrapped that plan and went back to the old rules a year ago, the number of plays and points returned to former levels. The length of games, to nobody's surprise, ballooned to 3:22.
Now coaches are having to adjust again.
"The clock rule is the third one in three years, and I don't want to get started on that because I don't agree with it," Florida's Urban Meyer said. "You keep moving that hat around a little bit. Now coaches have to relearn a rule that's going to have a significant impact on the game. How significant? I have no idea, but it just keeps changing and that bothers me."
Said Kentucky's Rich Brooks: "Every year now we've got to address new clock rules with the players. It's just kind of foolish, in my mind, that you tinker with it in a three-year cycle like we have."
Foolish, of course, unless you're eager to run a new spread offense.
"I think it will really help us," Bosley said. "We can just go, go, go, go, go as fast as we want."

"We chose SAP solutions because they integrate seamlessly with our existing SAP general business management and financial software." - IT Technical Manager, Transportation Company
An Italian transportation company
Travel & Transportation
Deployment country:
IT/infrastructure, Enterprise Resource Planning, Information Infrastructure, Optimizing IT, Server Consolidation, Virtualization, Virtualization - Server
From its roots as a family business, this Italian transportation company has grown to become an international transportation and logistics provider, moving freight by road, rail and sea to clients throughout Europe, and handling more than 700,000 shipments every month.
Business need:
A family-owned regional transportation company wished to transform itself into an international logistics service provider. This would require improvements in its customer relationship management, with optimized business processes capable of managing up to 700,000 shipments a month. Existing Hitachi Data Systems, Sun and Oracle systems were not able to scale up to meet the rising workload, and management and maintenance expenses were increasing.
This transportation company replaced its Sun and Oracle systems with two IBM Power Systems 770 servers for its core SAP applications, and migrated its data to IBM DB2. The company also replaced its Hitachi Data Systems storage array with an IBM System Storage DS8300.
The company has reduced CO2 emissions by approximately 375 tons a year, or around 25 percent, raised logistics productivity by 30 percent, decreased the unit labor cost per 100 kg transported by 10 percent, and cut storage space for goods to be transported by 20 percent.
Case Study
From its roots as a family business, this Italian transportation company has grown to become an international transportation and logistics provider, moving freight by road, rail, and sea to clients throughout Europe and handling more than 700,000 shipments every month.
During its international expansion, this transportation and logistics company has frequently reengineered and optimized its business processes. To support recent growth, the company is focusing on its transportation and warehouse management methods, to maximize efficiency and enhance customer service levels.
The company's growth is driven both by attracting new business and building volumes from existing customers. Alongside operational efficiency, the company also wanted to fine-tune its customer service by developing better customer relationships, generating targeted promotional campaigns, and structuring new customer acquisition programs.
Fuel for change
The company's legacy Hitachi Data Systems and Sun hardware, running Oracle databases, was unable to handle its growing transportation volumes or accommodate increasing requests for specialist, custom-designed logistics services.
The objective was to standardize processes that would allow the company to manage larger workload from its existing resources. At the same time, this company wanted to offer customized transportation services, which attract higher margins, and manage them as efficiently as the rest of its business.
This transportation company looked for a solution that would fit well with current work volumes and be able to scale up rapidly with minimal change. Additionally, the company wanted to integrate the solution with its existing SAP ERP and SAP warehouse management software. To meet its needs, the company chose SAP Transportation Management and SAP Extended Warehouse Management applications.
This company uses SAP ERP software to run its core business management and financial processes, and was confident that the specialized SAP components would fit well into the existing landscape as well as integrate with line of business software.
Additionally, the company chose to implement SAP Customer Relationship Management software to support its marketing efforts, which would help the company continue on its growth path.
The company's IT Technical Manager comments, "We chose SAP solutions because they integrate seamlessly with our existing SAP general business management and financial software.
The SAP for Transportation application component meets our core needs with no modification, which greatly accelerated the implementation and enabled us to enjoy the benefits sooner."
Choosing the best infrastructure
Having chosen SAP software as its strategic business environment, this transportation company turned to the selection of a suitable IT landscape. With data volumes growing around 400 GB each month and a complex network of remote and mobile users, not to mention some 15,000 customers with direct access to shipping details, the company team wanted to find a high-performance solution at a commercially acceptable price-point, and one that could scale significantly to meet its ambitions for growth.
This transportation company selected the IBM Power Systems platform as its strategic hardware infrastructure, and IBM DB2 software as the core database architecture. The company chose to replace its Sun servers running Solaris with two IBM Power 770 servers running IBM AIX, each with 48 POWER7 processors. It also migrated from Oracle to IBM DB2. The IBM Power 770 servers support the production SAP applications, accessed by 450 internal users. A further 1,200 palmtops used by distribution truck drivers provide on-the-road access to collection and delivery data, and the system also supports up to 15,000 customers via SAP NetWeaver Portal.
By replacing two Sun servers running Solaris with two IBM Power 770 servers, the company has saved 25 percent in energy and floor space costs, and cut related server administration and maintenance costs by 10 percent. The data storage infrastructure was also refreshed: the company replaced its Hitachi Data Systems disk array with an IBM System Storage DS8300.
During the data migration, the company took advantage of the data compression features in IBM DB2 for Linux, UNIX and Windows. The original 3.8 TB of data in the Oracle database supporting the SAP ERP applications was reduced to 1.2 TB in IBM DB2, a saving 68 percent in the total amount of data stored.
The reduction in database size helps to increase application performance and, in turn, serve customers more efficiently. Data backups, managed and automated by IBM Tivoli Storage Manager, complete more quickly with less impact on production systems, and backup storage expenses have been cut.
System planning, configuration and tuning services were provided by the IBM Montpellier team, which showed this transportation company how to exploit the combination of the advanced POWER7 processors in the IBM Power 770 servers, using techniques such as Active Memory Expansion (AME) and Live Partition Mobility (LPM). AME enhances system efficiency and scalability by allowing more data to be stored in the available main memory by using on-the-fly memory pages compression. This unique POWER7 technology can be combined with DB2 compression to increase system performance and reduce memory requirements.
The company runs its SAP applications and DB2 in separate logical partitions (LPARs) on the IBM Power 770 servers using IBM PowerVM as the inherent virtualization layer. The POWER7 systems support LPM functionality, which permits LPARs containing active SAP applications to be moved across different physical machines even during continuous operation. In the business of international transportation where clients want shipping information to be available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 52 weeks a year, the company can use LPM to ensure customers continue to be served even if one of the two servers is planned to be unavailable during, for example, system maintenance.
This company also implemented IBM BladeCenter technology, deploying a mix of IBM PS702 Express blades featuring POWER7 processors, IBM HS22 blades powered by Intel® Xeon® 4800 series processors, and IBM HX5 blade servers powered by Intel Xeon E7 processors. The different servers are configured to handle different workloads of different SAP applications, to operate the company's SAP system as efficiently as possible.
The Intel Xeon processor 5600 series automatically regulates power consumption and intelligently adjusts server performance according to your application needs, maximizing both energy efficiency and performance. The Intel Xeon processor E7 delivers performance designed for the most data-demanding workloads with improved scalability, and increased memory and I/O capacity. The series helps adapt to changes in short-term business demands, and at the same time address requirements for longer-term business growth. Advanced reliability and security features help to maintain data integrity, accelerate encrypted transactions, and maximize the availability of mission-critical applications.
The PS702 blade servers running IBM AIX provide test, development and quality assurance environments for the core SAP applications. The HS22 and HX5 blade servers support SAP NetWeaver Business Warehouse and SAP NetWeaver Portal applications in a VMware virtualization environment. As demand increases, the company will be able to add more blade servers to the chassis to provide almost linear scalability for interactive and web-based users. The IBM Power 770 servers deliver the high-capacity database processing and interactive SAP application performance for the 450 users. This two-tier arrangement allocates processing workload to the platform most suited to the task, optimizing the company's investments in IT infrastructure.
Smooth implementation
With the support of its implementation partners, this transportation company deployed the new software on time and within budget. An essential step in this process was planning and optimizing the key business processes prior to the implementation, to ensure that the software configuration matched the company's requirements.
The company team cut project execution time and reduced the project risk by using best practices supported by the ASAP methodology, the PRINCE2 project management method, and the COBIT IT governance framework and tool set. The new logistics processes based on the SAP applications were operational in just five months. The SAP warehouse management solution was integrated with the automated warehouse system within four months.
The group used SAP NetWeaver Portal to communicate project progress across the implementation team and through the company, and to collaborate with the SAP development team on the transportation and warehouse management solutions. Users were trained by deploying the SAP Productivity Pak application by ANCILE.
Move to the future
With a newly optimized and simplified application landscape based on the integrated SAP software, this company has realized dramatic business benefits. The company uses SAP Transportation Management to optimize transportation routes, and as a result has reduced CO2 emissions by approximately 375 tonnes annually, a reduction of 25 percent a year. The company team is exceptionally pleased with the benefits gained from using SAP applications. Closer integration between the logistics and transportation processes is improving operational efficiencies and reducing costs. For example, the volume of goods moved per hour by the same infrastructure has increased by 30 percent, and the cost of transporting goods has been cut by 10 percent. On the warehousing side, optimized processes based on SAP Extended Warehouse Management software have cut storage space required for goods to be transported by 20 percent.
The company's Organization and IT Director, says, "For example, warehouse worker productivity increased by 30 percent, as measured in hours spent per 100 kg transported."
Similarly, by using the integrated campaign management and customer data provided by SAP Customer Relationship Management, marketing effectiveness also improved. Campaign execution is faster, and with enhanced timeliness and clarity of communications, the conversion rate for marketing leads is up 26 percent.
The Organization and IT Director concludes, "In such a widespread, complex business transformation process, having the right methodology, organizational structure, and communication is fundamental to project success. With the help of our SAP software, and IBM technology, we will continue optimizing our processes and adding new services to enhance customer satisfaction and support our ongoing growth."
