Laura Iorio '95 in her Harlem gallery.
Like fellow Colby alum Wylie Dufresne '92, a chef who is responsible for turning a formerly drab street on the Lower East Side into a diner's destination, Iorio is among the vanguard of people-"North Stars," Time Out dubbed them in a recent issue-infusing her section of Harlem with new vibrance. "I really think art is important, and people being involved in art is important," Iorio said. "By being in Harlem I can fill a real need, rather than being just another gallery in Chelsea. It's a challenge. But every day is a new experience." Besides, she loves how friendly and green the neighborhood is. On this particular spring afternoon, the door wide open to the breeze, a gaggle of neighborhood schoolgirls saunter in, pepper Iorio with questions and leave with promises to return. Cadbury, her big, furry dog, snoozes nearby on the floor.
With savings and help from her parents, Iorio opened Storefront 1838-one of only a handful of galleries in the area-last October, under the auspices of a small collaborative of artists called "Valaura Tea-But-ton" ("Valaura is my business persona. I'm her, but I'm also myself," she explains). Together they turned what had been a vacant beauty parlor into an art space committed to fusing "art, music, community and organization to create an atmosphere that is interesting, challenging, comfortable and real." To this end, Iorio recently applied for and received a New York Foundation for the Arts grant devoted to bringing Harlem artists together. The result will be the spring 2005 "Harlem Open Exhibition," an exhibit open to any artist living or working in Harlem. "We hope it will be good for community building and for getting people involved who might feel a bit put off by all the activity that's going on," she said.
Valaura Tea-Button has played host to four shows at Storefront 1838, each attracting crowds of at least 200 to their openings. The first show, "Carefully Drawn," presented works by emerging artists who had helped develop the space; "Girls, Girls, Girls" showcased art by "seven tough and beautiful women"; "Red-White-Black-Yellow" addressed questions of color. The final show in this space, "Living Room," was subtitled "Issues of Taste and the Politics of Decoration" and featured installations and murals exclusively-a resourceful response to the massive water leaks that were threatening to destroy the gallery along with any framed artwork.
Iorio is a painter herself, which is half of the reason she established the gallery. After receiving her M.F.A. from Boston University last spring, she moved to New York to begin in earnest her life as an artist. These days, she's making large, almost white paintings with oil and spray paints and stencils, which she describes as resembling nets or screens. "I've been thinking a lot about Japanese gardens and the principles of different Yoga and Zen practices, and how to relate some of this to the ideas in traditional Chinese and Japanese art," she said. "Running this space is great. I really enjoy having friends enjoy the space and bringing in other artists. But developing my own self as an artist is the most important thing."
The other half of Iorio's impetus is grounded in what she considers her social service roots. At Colby she majored in government and minored in women's studies. After graduation and before going to art school she worked as a private-school fund raiser, as an arts and crafts teacher for City Year in Boston and then as an intern in the Public Defender's office in Washington, D.C. Now she's finally pulling art and social service together.
Due to Storefront 1838's water damage problems, Iorio will move to a new art space on Harlem's historic Striver's Row next spring. Called GO2, the new gallery, like the old one, will stress community involvement and nurture emergent talent. Visitors, she said, are warmly encouraged to stop by anytime.

Maison Martin Margiela

The Vibe for Fall 2012
Camel hair, patent leather, and garbage bags don't read as the fabric inspirations of a refined menswear collection but this is the house of Margiela, where the unconventional often becomes the sartorial. The collection is built off of elegant tailoring, with strong double-breasted overcoats and tonal-pinstripe suits sharing runway space with patent leather turtlenecks, utilized in layered looks and pants. The aforementioned garbage bags take shape in outerwear, mimicking the panels of a puffer jacket, and by contrast serve to showcase the classic menswear pieces beneath them. If this is the brand's idea of trash, we'll happily rummage through.

He worked with both the Concert Choir and the Madrigal Ensemble (and a soloist/Pius alum who has gone on to study opera) on selections from a variety of operas including Lucia di Lammermoor, Romeo and Juliet and Dido and Aeneas.
All of us at the Florentine Opera would like to congratulate the Pius performers who presented their Opera Gala yesterday evening.

Although he's hosted such luminaries as Michael Graves and Zaha Hadid, William Sawaya is always eager to stretch his own aesthetic muscles. He makes that point, quite literally, with Fei Fei. Introduced this year at the Salone Internazionale del Mobile in Milan, the chair emulates the folding qualities of origami, but with a curved sensibility. The injection-molded piece is formed from a single sheet of high-density polyurethane that's fi tted over a steel frame for stability. That's critical, especially since the back folds inward to form stilettolike legs. Standing 31 ½ inches high, 20 wide, and 26 deep, the chair is available in white, gray, red, black, or two-tone red and white. Custom colors are also welcome. 39-02-86395218; sawayamoroni.com.

Seven Traits of Successful Product Managers
5 Comments Latest comment by: Raj PandiI get several emails every week from readers with excellent questions on product management related topics. I try to answer as many as I can. Recently I received a nice email from a reader, Kim, that asked "Michael... What do you feel are the most important professional characteristics of a Product Manager?"
This question got me thinking. I started writing down the characteristics of excellent product managers I've had the good fortune of working with. Then I picked the seven traits that are most common among these folks - I summarize them in this article in order of priority.
By the way, I recently watched the movie Borat - in honor of that movie, I'm using the following subtitle for this article!
Observational Learnings of Traits for Make Benefit Glorious Craft of Product Management
Seven Traits of Successful Product Managers
- Communication Skills
Successful product managers are excellent communicators.
This is the most common characteristic shared by all excellent product managers I've worked with - written and oral communication skills. Why is this important?
At most companies, a critical role product managers play is acting as a communication hub on product-related matters - as shown in the figure below.
This means - a successful product manager not only has the ability to communicate effectively with different roles, but also has the ability to:- Communicate with different personality-types.
- For example, majority of engineers tend to be "introverted", while majority of sales/marketing folks tend to be "extroverted".
- Speak different "languages" when communicating with different roles.
- To communicate effectively, it is important that you speak the "language" of your target audience. This means you have to use a "different language" while communicating to marketing personnel, as opposed to engineers. Likewise, when communicating with executive management, you must focus more on "forest level" than "tree level" - this is a mistake I see many product managers make.
- Communicate with different personality-types.
- Leading Without Authority
Successful product managers are excellent leaders, even when they have no formal authority.
At most companies, product managers are expected to play "leadership role" in several areas. These include leading project teams, leading product strategy and roadmaps, leading cross-functional product initiatives, etc.
Yet, in most of these situations product managers don't have any formal authority. This means, you have to be really good at "leading without authority" to be a successful product manager.
How do you lead without authority? I'd say - using a combination of influencing, negotiating, relationship building and other similar skills.
Is it possible to lead without authority? My thought on this is summarized well by the question Tom Peters, the popular management author, asks:
- Learning Skills
Successful product managers have the ability to learn fast - even in relatively new areas.
In most segments of the high-tech industry, markets change fast. New technologies are always right around the horizon. What is a "differentiated product" today becomes a commodity within 6 months. Sometimes even faster.
A successful product manager must have the ability to learn fast - even in areas that are relatively new to them. If a product manager has this ability - it is relatively easy to manage products in new markets.
One mistake that I think most companies make when hiring product managers is - they look for "strong subject matter knowledge". For example, if a company makes security software - they look for product managers with "5+ years experience" in security software. I think this is a misguided approach. A far better approach is to look for a product manager with experience in the software industry, and the ability to learn quickly. This approach has worked well for me - some of the best PMs I've hired had no "subject matter knowledge" prior to hiring!
- Business Acumen
- Love for Products
- Eye for Details
- Routine Product Management Skills
How much formal authority did Mohandas Gandhi and Martin Luther King Jr. have?
Successful product managers have a good understanding of the fundamentals of business.
They understand how to identify market opportunities, importance of competitive differentiation, creating winning product strategy, pricing and promotion, partnerships, analyzing P&L statements, and so on.
This doesn't mean they need an MBA. As a matter of fact, most of the successful product managers I've worked with don't have an MBA - but all of them have a strong grasp of business fundamentals.
Successful product managers have an inherent love for products.
They delight in kicking the tires of new products in the market - as many as they can get their hands on. They sign up for a ton of "betas", check out the latest web sites, download trial versions of software just to check them out, and so on.
They delight in well-designed products - even if not made by their own company. They loathe poorly-designed products - even if made by their own company.
Above all, they love creating great products - whether it is a brand new product, or enhancements to existing products.
Successful product managers have an eye for details.
Focus on details is an essential pre-requisite to creating great products - as I mentioned in my previous article and Steve Jobs mentions in the following quote:
The iMac is not just the color or translucence or the shape of the shell. The essence of the iMac is to be the finest possible consumer computer in which each element plays together.
On our latest iMac, I was adamant that we get rid of the fan, because it is much more pleasant to work on a computer that doesn't drone all the time. That was not just "Steve's decision" to pull out the fan; it required an enormous engineering effort to figure out how to manage power better and do a better job of thermal conduction through the machine. That is the furthest thing from veneer. It was at the core of the product the day we started.
This is what customers pay us for--to sweat all these details so it's easy and pleasant for them to use our computers. (emphasis mine)
Successful product managers focus on details not only when it comes to product features - but also in competitive analysis, project plans, and in pretty much every major activity that they are responsible for.
Successful product managers have good "routine product management skills".
These are the skills needed to perform the routine tasks of a product manager job. They include writing MRDs & PRDs, performing competitive analysis, creating product roadmaps, creating presentations that communicate product features & benefits, defining user interfaces, and so on.
This set of required skills varies from company to company. I put this characteristic last, since I think most of these skills are easily learnable by product managers who possess the six earlier skills.
There you have it. My list of seven traits shared by successful product managers:
- Communication Skills
- Leading Without Authority
- Learning Skills
- Business Acumen
- Love for Products
- Eye for Details
- Routine Product Management Skills
I know I have seven areas to improve - how about you?!
I find that this list is not only useful in self-improvement, but also when interviewing candidates for the product manager position.
Does this list make sense? What are the other skills you would add? Let me know by clicking the 'Post Comment' link below.

Home Movies: Through the Glass, Darkly
While director Alexandre Aja and longtime screenwriting collaborator Grégory Levasseur have proven themselves artful purveyors of fright, they too often squander their talents on stories that collapse beneath the weight of misplaced ambition.
Consider their singularly frustrating breakthrough, 2003's High Tension. It's a nasty slice of psychotic mayhem, straightforward and unsettling until, in its waning moments, Aja and Levasseur play fast and loose with the film's internal logic. Their follow-up, a remake of Wes Craven's The Hills Have Eyes, was little more than a technical exercise, but a mostly effective one, demonstrating that the French duo is quite capable of spinning nightmarish visions into tightly constructed yarns.

News Releases by Email
June 17, 2010
Florida Agriculture and Consumer Services Commissioner Charles H. Bronson and Chairman Rodney Barreto of the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) today announced that both the winter and summer oyster harvesting areas in the Apalachicola Bay System will be opened for harvest seven days per week through Aug. 31.
The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) has confirmed four panther depredations to date this month in the Golden Gate Estates area of Collier County. FWC biologists believe a panther family is roaming around residents' properties looking for food. The female panther has killed chickens and goats. The depredations occurred in areas that did not have predator-proof enclosures for the animals.
Teaching children a lifelong hobby, instilling appreciation for our marine environment and providing a fun family outing are the objectives of the Cape Canaveral Kids' Fishing Clinic.
Each flight also has specialists onboard, photographing what's seen during the trip.
FWC Facts:The largest lake in Florida is Lake Okeechobee.

If you haven't already you probably will soon be joining the nearly 75 per cent of Canadians who say they intend to make at least one New Year's resolution.
For those still contemplating the perfect vow for 2012 you could always drag out the usual suspects — lose weight, get more exercise, eat better, spend less or save more. But I say, chuck it; instead try something completely different — a financial resolution for every month of the upcoming year.
Don't gag. I know, keeping a single resolution is tough enough; tackling 12 seems impossible. But look at it this way: Big, generic resolutions are notoriously difficult to keep. In fact, fewer than 20 per cent of resolvers stick to them after the first month.
However, if you break a big job into more manageable smaller ones, success is within your grasp. The other issue with broad financial resolutions is that they overwhelm most people. A series of clearly defined tasks gives you a place to begin.
Here are some suggestions for a 12-month resolution program:
January — Save for Santa. There are 12 shopping months until next Christmas! Start saving now. Add up what you just spent during the holiday season — consult bank and credit card statements and don't forget to estimate how much cash was used. You'll probably be shocked. Make a decision about how much you want to spend next year and divide it into 12. Set aside that amount every month in a jar or separate bank account and there will no more holiday debt at the end of 2012.
February — Set up or adjust your automatic savings plan. If you are already contributing monthly to a TFSA, RRSP or RESP, take a look at each one and try to increase them a bit. Don't bite off too much. For example, if you are depositing $100 into your RRSP bump it to $110.
March — Start taxes early and do them yourself. You can get a discount on tax software through most of the major banks. At the beginning of the month organize receipts and pay stubs. Next do the math. Add up deductions such as medical/dental so you have the number at hand. Finally, fire up the tax program and let it guide you through filing your taxes. You will save money and be more aware of your finances.
April — Deploy the refund. Assuming you stuck to the March resolution you should have the refund in hand sometime this month. Apply it to high interest credit card debt.
May — Budget for summer. Most people like to take a summer holiday but few budget for it. Set some numbers down on paper and you will be amazed how that focuses your thoughts on where you can afford to go and how much you can spend.
June — Tax freedom month. It's time to smell the roses. You've worked all year to pay various taxes, now you're working for yourself. Take a break. Enjoy or rediscover a few simple pleasures this month.
July — Have a no-buy month. Summer is the best time for a spending diet since the weather is nice. Buy nothing this month except the absolute essentials. Such a spending purge leaves you feeling financially flush at the end of the month and wonderfully in control.
August — Axe a habit. Magazines are my weak point. What's yours? It could be multiple coffee and donut runs, cigarettes, lottery tickets or takeout. Get rid of a bad habit this month, estimate your savings and put the money on debt.
September — Involve your kids. Bring children into the family financial fold. Start giving kids responsibility for back-to-school shopping, including drawing up a list and buying the items, with supervision for the younger set. You'll be teaching them valuable skills and they'll have fun at the same time.
October — Donate now. Most of us like to give to charity but we often leave it to the last minute. Doing it in October relieves the financial stress in December.
November — Channel your inner Bobby Flay. Resolve to make every meal in your own kitchen. Don't forget to use leftovers. You'll be healthier and your wallet will be fatter at month's end.
December — Make a list and check it twice. Before holiday shopping create an "A" and a "B" list for gift-recipients. On the A list goes everyone you really want to give a present to and on the B list is everyone else. The B listers get a card and a personal note — no gifts unless it is something like homemade cookies. Put a spending limit beside each A name and stick to it. You'll have holiday happiness and no spending hangover in the new year.
Now you have it, twelve months and twelve resolutions for 2012.

Milton, near the Virginia state line in Caswell County, is home to the Union Tavern, also known as the Thomas Day House. Day was a free black cabinetmaker who lived in Milton from the 1820s until his death in 1861. From 1848 to 1858, when he occupied Union Tavern, he operated the largest furniture business in the state.
Milton is approximately 155 miles from Charlotte. Plan on a 2 3/4-hour drive
To see and do
Located near the Dan River, Milton (a contraction of "mill-town") was a trade and cultural center during the first half of the 19th century. Union Tavern, a Federal-style, two-story red brick building constructed in 1818, offered good food and drink and pleasant lodgings to visitors. The tavern is worthwhile in and of itself, but Thomas Day gives it added meaning and importance.
Day was born about 1801 near Emporia, Va., to a free black woman. At that time, the legal status of black children was defined by their mother's status, so Thomas was free, as well. He moved to North Carolina in 1823 and gradually established a reputation as one of the state's preeminent furniture craftsmen.
Day purchased Union Tavern in 1848 and used the building for the next 10 years as both shop and residence. In 1850, Day operated the largest furniture company in the state, using whites, free blacks and slaves in his shop. Since he was among the first to use steam-powered tools and mass production techniques, Day is regarded today as an early founder of the modern Southern furniture industry. During his lifetime, his furnishings were in high demand from Virginia to Georgia, and 150 years later, Day's are among the showpieces in regional museums, including the Museum of Early Southern Decorative Arts (MESDA) in Winston-Salem and the North Carolina Museum of History in Raleigh. Fortunately, many Thomas Day originals have found their way back to the restored Union Tavern. Tours of the building are given by appointment, spotlight a variety of Day pieces and offer a brief video.
In addition to Union Tavern, many other interesting buildings can be seen on the self-guided walking tour of the Town of Milton, described as a "museum without walls." One such structure is the 1837 Milton Presbyterian Church, with pews made by Thomas Day. Milton's main street is lined with shops, including the Milton General Store, built in 1835. Originally a dry-goods store, it is now an antique and gift shop that also serves sandwiches and desserts. The White Owl has antiques, consignments and a bakery. Milton Studio Art Gallery sells paintings, pottery, prints, textiles and jewelry made by local artists.

The shoes are adorable, but unfortunately due to the height and lovely shape of the shoe - they do run a bit small. Make sure you order at least a half size up on this sexy shoe. Quality was great and the material was very nice, has a really nice padded insole for comfort.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. - Officials at Saint Francis Hospital are celebrating the facility's 100th anniversary in conjunction with the chosen name of the new pope.
Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio, who is from Argentina, this month became the first pope from the Americas and the first pontiff to choose the name Pope Francis.
"I think it's great," said Steve Dexter, the hospital's president and chief executive officer. "I'm excited. I'm also Catholic. I think he will do a good job. That he picked the name Francis was just the icing on the cake."
Dan Lauffer, chief operating officer, said the name choice has renewed interest in learning about Saint Francis.
Sister Virginia Yeager, vice president of mission and pastoral care at the hospital, is impressed with the lifestyle of the new pope and his concern for the poor.
"Saint Francis was a man who had everything at one point in life," she said. "Through life experiences he encountered God and found himself called to a simpler lifestyle. He cared for the poor. He had a vision of God telling him to rebuild his church. At first he thought structurally but it was actually renewing the life of the church."
Meanwhile, she notes the faith-based hospital has maintained a caring attitude for patients throughout the decades.
The hospital got its start in 1913 when an old home at 333 Laidley St. was purchased by Bishop Patrick J. Donahue. It was converted into a 25-bed facility that was initially run by the Sisters of St. Francis of Perpetual Adoration from Williamsville, N.Y.
Throughout the years, the facility has undergone new construction and expansion, acquired modern equipment on an ongoing basis, and changed hands a few times. Go to www.stfrancishospital.com for details about history, growth and services at the hospital.
While changes have been dramatic, officials say some things have remained the same.
Yeager points to a sense of caring that has continued through the years at the Christian-based hospital.
"It's more than a job," she said. "It's a healing ministry. It's a continuation of the healing ministry of Jesus."
Lauffer added, "After 100 years, we are in the same location. We are in a different building at the same location with the same mission statement."
The written statement says the mission of the hospital "is to provide a broad continuum of quality health care services to enhance the well being of the people of Charleston and surrounding communities.
"Drawing its inspiration from Christ's healing love, this mission compels us to continuously evaluate and improve the excellence of our care, the quality of our services and the cost-effectiveness of those services. Our mission requires that we be in the forefront of envisioning new and better ways to address the ever-changing health care needs of the people we serve."

Disaster Spiritual Care Training
This week at Hartford Seminary, thirty religious leaders and other professionals from many parts of the United States plus several other countries have been engaged in disaster spiritual care training.
This marks the first time this two-day training by National Disaster Interfaiths Network (NDIN) has been held in Connecticut. Its curriculum prepares faith leaders or institutional chaplains to volunteer as disaster chaplains in mass-care settings or to serve as disaster chaplains within their house of worship, religious community or professional institution. It helps other professionals understanding best practices of disaster spiritual care.
The training covers such topics as the emotional and spiritual phases of the disaster "life cycle," spiritual first aid, disaster human services and site operations, phases of psychological reaction to disaster, effective caregiver self-care practices, mental health assessment & referral, and the FEMA Incident Command System.
This curriculum was originally developed for Episcopal Relief & Development and New York Disaster Interfaith Services. It is now taught by NDIN, and is offered by a several seminaries and state disaster spiritual care organizations with NDIN's guidance.
NDIN's disaster chaplaincy training was one component of a new six-day course in Chaplaincy Models and Methods – one of two foundational courses for Hartford Seminary's new Graduate Certificate in Chaplaincy in Multifaith Contexts.
"Developing disaster spiritual care competency is an important element of Hartford Seminary's new Graduate Certificate Program in Chaplaincy in Multifaith Contexts," says Dr. Lucinda Mosher, Faculty Associate for Interfaith Studies, who directs the program. "We are delighted that our first effort at hosting such training attracted a smart, engaged circle of participants who confirmed the value of the skills and information NDIN teaches."
"The Disaster Chaplaincy Training was well-orchestrated," one student said. "It was comprehensive, informative, and very practical."
Hartford Seminary's new Graduate Certificate Program in Chaplaincy in Multifaith Contexts is designed to deepen understanding of religious diversity and to sharpen professional skills needed for service in religiously complex environments.

Starting in the mangrove swamps of South Florida as Tarzan's Cup, The Jungle Cup tests runners' warrior instincts and brute strength with a bevy of jungle-inspired challenges. Lone wolves, coed pairs, or teams of four take on the 5K course's rivers of mud and swinging vines with the hope of winning the coveted Jungle Cup—or at least a finisher's medal. Obstacles vary based on the run's location, but contestants can rest assured that their endurance will be put to the test through primal trials such as leaping over fire pits, hurling javelins, and swimming through water hazards. After the race, athletes cool down with a frosty beverage at the Jungle Party, which celebrates their victories with fire shows, hula hoop-offs, and costume contests.

Drawing on her thorough knowledge of myoskeletal alignment and other facets of health, she can target chronic pains in private sessions or work with larger assemblies.
Her studio's group classes strengthen participants with diverse Pilates modalities, from standing routines that promote alignment to jump intervals, which employ the reformer machine for a joint-friendly cardio workout. Postworkout, patrons can detangle muscles under the percussive Thumper massage device, which combines the precision of a machine with the comfort of a machine that has learned to bake cookies.
With more than 43,000 square feet of wall space displaying more than 3,000 different sports artifacts and memorabilia, the Georgia Sports Hall of Fame celebrates the state's greatest swimmers, skiers, shooters, short stops, and more.

Members gain access to GSHF's February 26 induction ceremony, honoring such gaming greats as Robert Davis, Joe DeLany, and James "J.T." Thomas. On the second Saturday evenings in March, April, and May, classic sports flicks such as the Bad News Bears, Hoosiers, and Rudy play in the 205-seat GSHF Theater during the sports film series, inviting you to root for the underdog or challenging you to remain staunchly neutral. Additional member benefits include 10% off at the museum gift shop, invitations to important museum events, and two guest passes. Museum members must give the Sports Hall of Fame their e-mail address in order to receive event invitations.
The Georgia Children's Museum invigorates young minds with a healthy dose of fun, interactive educational exhibits and events. Curious kids can embark on an international trip in the Passport to the World exhibit, in which younglings absorb different cultures by trying on Japanese kimonos, dropping beats on handmade African drums, and fencing with French baguettes. Wee ones learn through play at the Little Learners' Loft, which lets kids investigate a dinosaur's world, discover the culture of Native Americans, and embrace their inner Shakespeare in a puppet show. Finally, precocious tots can take their newfound wealth of knowledge and share it with others in the WGCM Studios exhibit. Up-and-coming anchorpeople can deliver a news broadcast or forecast upcoming soda storms from cotton-candy clouds.

Logitech TV Cam HD review
4.5 out of 5
Superb quality, easy to use, zoom and move feature, sound is brilliant
Quite expensive, big and a bit ugly, uses electricity all the time
Since the telephone first rose to prominence there has been chatter about the video phone. BT tried it years ago before there was even broadband - and before there was even ISDN - and it was always a flop. But it didn't fail because people didn't want... read the full review.

Find Yourself with the Google Maps API
Listing 3. XML Listing of Markers
<assets> <asset id="1" name="Home" desc="The home base" lat="35" ↪long="-105"></asset> <asset id="2" name="BC Site" desc="The off-site site" ↪lat="34" long="-106"></asset> </assets>
The parse_zones() function on line 24 of Listing 2 works similarly and describes shapes to be drawn on the map. The corresponding XML looks like that shown in Listing 4.
Listing 4. XML Listing of Zones
<containers> <container id="1" name="HQ" description="This is HeadQuarters"> <point lat="35.0" long="-105.0" /> <point lat="35.0" long="-106.0" /> <point lat="36.0" long="-106.0" /> <point lat="35.0" long="-105.0" /> </container> <container id="2" name="OffSite" ↪description="This is the Offsite Site"> <point lat="37.0" long="-104.0" /> <point lat="37.0" long="-105.0" /> <point lat="38.0" long="-105.0" /> <point lat="37.0" long="-104.0" /> </container> </containers>
Here, you see two containers and a list of lat/long points that define their boundaries. So, with what you have so far, and some slightly different data, you get a map that resembles Figure 1. By default, the map centers on a location just outside of Albuquerque, New Mexico. You see a red triangle that's filled in with green. The triangle is semi-transparent, so you can see the map through it. You also see one of the markers in the lower-right corner of the triangle. In Figure 1, I've clicked on the marker to demonstrate the information window, which I discuss a bit more later.
Let's take a closer look at the parse_markers() function defined on lines 29–51 of Listing 2. This function is fairly straightforward and simply loops over a list of assets. For each asset, the function parses the lat/long coordinates of the marker and creates a marker object with them (lines 34–37). Notice on line 37 that I had to use the lat and long variables to create an object to pass to the marker constructor. Next, I set some additional attributes for each marker for later use. Then, on line 46, I added the marker to the map. Lines 48 and 49 are interesting—they allow users to click on (or mouse over) a marker and display additional information. I've commented one of the lines out because it doesn't seem to work well to have a mouse-over and mouse-click event at the same time. I probably need some additional logic, but you get the idea.
The parse_zones() function is only slightly more complex, because it has to build a GPolygon object from the points listed for each container. Lines 53–62 are similar to the first part of the parse_marker() function. The main difference is in lines 64–72 where I loop over each point that delineates the zone, create a GLatLng object for each point and push the object onto the bounds array. Then, on line 74, I create a GPolygon object with this array of points. The GPolygon constructor also allows you to specify a border color and size, as well as a fill color and opacity setting. I add the polygon to the map on line 80. I add an on-click event handler on line 81, so that when users click on a given zone, the application can perhaps provide more information about the zone.
The event handlers defined on lines 86–96 are almost identical and quite trivial, so let me make some passing comments about them all at once. They each call the map object's openInfoWindow method to open the little message bubble and display a message. In these cases, I simply display the name or description of the object the user clicks on. In a real-world application, you might use the id attribute to make an AJAX callback to a server-side database and do some really cool things.
Finally, the update_gui() function on lines 98–105 is responsible for updating some of the display information at the bottom of the map. To do this, the function uses some of the map object's methods to get the coordinates of the southwest and northeast corners of the map. Then, those coordinates are converted to strings and placed inside the appropriate container on the Web page. The map's zoom factor is handled very similarly.
As you can see, using the Google Maps API is pretty easy. The API is fairly intuitive and exhaustively documented at Google. As I mentioned in the beginning of this article, it's pretty easy to plot businesses' office locations or the locations of their customers. But, this is the Web, and it should be fun. How about a geography quiz game with real maps? Or a Risk-like game, or any number of military simulations set on a virtual Earth? I recall playing a racing game that allowed you to drive a car around a Google Map. The Google Maps API is simple and powerful, and lots of interesting things are waiting to be done with it.

Use the Source, Luke
Why not using Open Source tools when working on Linux?
For example Open Source Leaflet (http://leaflet.cloudmade.com/) with Open Source Mapdata from Open Street Map (e.g. via Leaflet).
As easy as Google Maps, but free as in "free speach", not only "free beer".
That's the way we like it!
Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

Punter Britton Colquitt is one of just two players in the league to rank in the top three in gross punting average (Colquitt's 50.1 ranks third) and net punting average (Colquitt's 43.6 ranks second).
Wide receiver Eric Decker caught his fifth touchdown pass of the season on Sunday. He is now tied for fourth in the NFL in that category this season.
Cornerback Chris Harris became the sixth different Bronco to lead (or share the lead) in tackles for a game this season. He joins linebacker Wesley Woodyard (three times), cornerback Jonathan Wilhite, linebacker D.J. Williams, linebacker Joe Mays and safety Brian Dawkins.
Colquitt's net punting average of 46.1 yards against the Lions marked the second-highest single-game total in franchise history (min. 7 punts). His 50.4 gross punting average ranked seventh in team single-game annals (min. 7 punts).
Three different Broncos rushed for 60 yards or more against the Lions. Knowshon Moreno led the way with 69 and Tim Tebow and Lance Ball each gained 63 yards on the ground, totaling 195 yards on 30 carries amongst the trio.
With all three of Matt Prater's kickoffs resulting in touchbacks, he improved his league-leading touchback percentage on kickoffs to 89.7 percent this season. 26 of his 29 kickoffs have resulted in touchbacks this season.

3.88/5 rDev -6.7%
look: 4.25 | smell: 4 | taste: 3.75 | feel: 3.75 | overall: 4
A: Poured from bottle to snifter, the beer produced a finger of tan head made of mostly fine bubbles with a few larger ones. The head fell fairly quickly (under 30 seconds) and left a dusting on top along with a ring around the edge. The beer is a very dark brown with some ruby highlights in the cheers and very clear when back-lit. Alcohol legs are noticeable when agitated and the foam kicks up a little more also.
S: A mild toasted nuts and peanut aroma on the first whiff. Also getting milk chocolate, almonds, sweet caramel and light fruity esters. Very low hop aroma, just an earthy, spice that sits below the candy bar aroma.
T: Chunky peanut butter taste, true to its name, on the first sip. Balance is on the malt side with it coming of sweet but not overly so. Almonds, peanuts, toasted pecans, milk chocolate, toast and toffee flavors all coming through in various intensities. Peanut is defiantly the dominant, slightly artificial tasting. Very low bitterness and almost no hop flavor coming through. A slightly grainy flavor at the end that leaves the pallet slightly dry.
M: Moderate body with carbonation on the lower side. Low alcohol warming.. surprising for the ABV. Maybe its a mental thing but it feels like a slick, gritty peanut butter spoonful after about 2-3 mins without a sip.
O: Unique beer that lived up to its name. Malts shine and the peanut butter flavor blends well. I don't know that I would get it again, but glad to try it.

4.49/5 rDev +7.9%
look: 4.25 | smell: 4.75 | taste: 4.5 | feel: 4 | overall: 4.5
Appearance is a dark brown/black color with zero head.
Aroma is like no other. Dry roasted peanuts up front with hints of milk chocolate. It smells like a Reese's cup.
Flavor is of dark and milk chocolate dominant with dark fruit and lingering peanut butter flavor at the very end that sticks around til the next sip.
Simple but complex flavors in this.
Mouthfeel is bubbly, doesn't coat your mouth totally which keeps you going back for more.
The 12 abv is extremely well hidden, you cannot pickup any alcohol at all.
I could hurt myself on these!

A-black with a small tan head that leaves a small lacing
S-peanut butter with a sight alcohol and chocalate smell
T- peanut butter with a roasted caramel aftertaste with some warming after the roast flavor fades
M- creamy, low carbonation, full bodied
O- my first time with this beer without eating peanut butter cheesecake. This is a great beer without the cheesecake, but it will be with a cheesecake from now on

look: 4 | smell: 4.75 | taste: 2.75 | feel: 3.25 | overall: 3.5
Pours a dark honey color with some ruby highlights. No head, just some wisp from from the continuous and forceful carbonation. Yep, it smells like peanut butter, or more accurately a Nutter-Butter cookie. There's a salty-sweetness on the nose, too, and some chocolate notes. This is a glorious beer to inhale.
The taste, however, is a bit of a disappointment. Roasted malts, dark rum, cane sugar up front: sweeeet. Then there's a fruity, spicy, sourness that takes over and lingers: pomegranate, sorghum, chocolate, pepper. The peanut butter is, unfortunately, masked and detectable only when smelling the beer. It's a bit over-carbonated, and for 12% not as full as I thought it would be for a porter. Maybe if they could bring the focus of the beer - peanut butter porter - back to the center, then this could be an exceptional beer.

Cough Follow-upThe best plan for follow-up care for a cough of any nature is to discuss when and where follow-up should occur with a doctor, or the doctor from the emergency department. Acute coughs typically get better on their own and often will not need follow-up. Many chronic coughs will take weeks to months to improve or resolve even when treatments are followed closely. Follow-up should be arranged based on this time schedule. For coughs that do not improve with standard treatments, referral to a specialist may be needed to decide the cause and best treatment.

Is it Worth Automating?
Some people can find me a bit over-earnest in my quest for automation. I've finally figured out how to know whether something is worthwhile to automate.
Are you making any decisions when you do this?
And if someone is making decisions that may be unnecessary:
Can we get from A to B without making any decisions?
I value the people I work with and I want them to be more effective. Sometimes people are afraid I'll automate them out of a job, or they like a manual part of their workflow. More often they take pride in being the manual bottleneck behind a tricky or brittle process.
Humans are valuable because we can make complex decisions very quickly. When I automate an area someone isn't immediately comfortable with, it's not because I don't value what he or she does. On the contrary: because I value their skills and time, I want to see them doing something that requires their unique abilities.

The two round ratings will be added to determine the player's "Global Score". For the rounds to qualify the event must include two rounds on the same course/layout and also have five players rated 800+ (male or female) to keep the ratings consistent across the competition. The Global Scores will be updated and ranked throughout the day to find our overall Women's Global Event Champions.
We will be offering all Pro and Am divisions, and you do not have to be a current PDGA member to play. This event has been coordinated to make it as accessible as possible to encourage more women to get out and play!PER REQUEST OF THE WOMEN - WE'VE ADDED MEN'S DIVISIONS:
