12oz brown bottle with no freshness date.
LOOK: Nearly clear pale golden color, ample stickage of lacing
SMELL: Clean, bready, macadamia nuts, clementines, piney hops, ripe passion fruit, faint spice
TASTE: Very smooth, fresh grain, dried grass, citric peel, mint, biscuity, nutty yeast, faint ripe fruit, spicy dry finish
Very well balanced with a good use of hops, this pale ale is a step or two ahead of the pack and is something I'd go for on the regular basis.

look: 4 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 3.75 | feel: 4 | overall: 3.75
A: 2 1/2 finger head, mixed bubbles, bright white in a standard pint glass. Great retention, as it fell there was a honey comb lacing on the edge of the glass. The beer is a hazy dark yellow color with no sediment.
S: Grapefruit and citrus hop aroma is moderate. slight biscuity / toasty aroma comes through from the malts. no esters detected.
T: Low to moderate grapefruit bitterness that follows through to the end. very clean crisp fermentation character. More pine and citrus hop flavors are noticable in the middle and add a nice balance to the grapefruit bitterness. Malt flavor is low but detectable as a toasty undertone.
M: Crisp mouthfeel with a moderate level of carbonation and low body. Very drinkable.
O: A very close beer to SNPA. Same grapefruit hop character with maybe a little more bitterness and some different subtleties peeking through. Solid pale ale just not all that exciting.

3.45/5 rDev -2.5%
look: 3.5 | smell: 3.25 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 3.5
First had: on tap at the brewery
Clearish amber pour, with a bubbly white head; moderate retention and lacing. Basic APA aroma of citrusy hops and crackery malts; a tad soapy. Decent balance in the taste, citrus-pith hops, pale malt sweetness, with the former edging out the latter by a margin. Some of the soapiness from the aroma was reflected in the taste, but it wasn't that bad. Light-medium body, moderate carbonation, generally good drinkability, though I wouldn't let this sit on a shelf for too long. A decent pale ale overall.
Serving type: on-tap

look: 3.5 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 4 | feel: 4 | overall: 3.75
Consumed from a tulip.
Poured a cloudy pale amber with half a finger of head which left mild lacing.
Smell is fairly constrained, hints of citrus and spice.
Excellent, balanced spicy taste, with more of the citrus than I expected. Nice lingering finish. Tastes great.
Perfect carbonation, somewhat thick mouthfeel.
Overall, a great session pale ale. I wish this were available back in Ohio where I live.

2.86/5 rDev -19.2%
look: 3.5 | smell: 2.75 | taste: 2.75 | feel: 3 | overall: 3
12 oz bottle, poured into a pint glass
Appearance: Pours a pretty golden color with a half of a finger of white head that quickly dissolved into a thin lacing of foam that covered the top of the beer in wispy clouds.
Aroma: Not much of an aroma at all, either that or I'm congested. I get some faint hints of biscuits and honey and clover, but not much else.
Taste: Not much in the flavor department either. Again, some malty biscuit notes with a nicely balanced hop bitterness. There is a just a hint of sweetness, but overall it's a very underwhelming flavor profile.
Mouthfeel: Medium-thin, but with some good carbonation to tickle the taste buds. With an ABV of 5.5%, there's no presence of alcohol on the palate.
Overall: This is a decent pale ale, but not really memorable either. There are better pale ales out there and there are certainly better Port City beers out there as well, especially, Port City's Porter and Oktoberfest.

3.73/5 rDev +5.4%
look: 3.75 | smell: 3.75 | taste: 3.75 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 3.75
A- came out a hazy orange with a creamy white head. minimal retention but did leave lacing throughout the beer
S-big citrus notes, a little tangy aroma to it
T- there is a nice balance between the malt (bready) and hops (citrus). One doesn't dominate or overwhelm the other and there is a nice interplay between the two
M- thinner but with a little carbonation fizz on the finish and a little bitter bite on the opening
O- a really good Pale Ale. Tasty and well-worth trying
Serving type: on-tap

3.6/5 rDev +1.7%
look: 4.25 | smell: 3.75 | taste: 3.25 | feel: 3.75 | overall: 4
Appearance: Cloudy and golden with a two finger white head with decent retention, leaving behind a layer of residual foam. Fairly good lacing.
Smell: Piney hops with some resin, grapefruit, some herbal notes and perhaps a little bit of spiciness.
Taste: Similar to nose, pine and grapefruit make up the bulk of the flavor profile, with some herbal and malt notes in the background.
Mouthfeel: Wet with middling carbonation. Highly drinkable and moderately refreshing.
Overall: A very serviceable pale ale that is certainly on the hoppier side of the spectrum. That being said, this is far from the best I've had.

RIM wakes up woozy in Australia
Research In Motion's attempts to remind Australians that its phones can be quite useful for business have rebounded on the embattled company. The first salvos in the campaign were fired last week, when journalists (not El Reg, as it happens) were sent black pieces of paper bearing the words "Wake Up", but without any hint as to …
Oh good grief....
....who RUNS the Marketing depts of these companies???? And I thought it was mostly the HR goons (goonesses?) who excelled at obfuscatory incompetence. Oh, and the overpaid, overfed Sales grunts. And, now that I mention it, how about most CEOs? (Where's Leo gone, btw? Anyone know?)
Marketing by Arnold J. RIMmer perhaps?
There are three kinds of people who use RIM phones in Austfailia:
1. corporate types who are forced to - it is the only thing on offer by their firms. Suckers.
2. Hipsters. iPhones are too mainstream; "Yeah, like, I've been using my RIM like since like way before the like iphone, like."
3. Nobody else.
4. Bloggers who are paid to make idiots of themselves outside Apple stores. (see 2. above)
Ok, so that's four.
Does pulling up in a black bus and staging a 'protest' outside the store of a competitor without telling anyone who you are not defeat the object of marketing and... give publicity and attention to said competitor?
I'll help them out, if they're reading this. You need to make a good phone that does not cost too much, is well built and looks nice, does everything we would expect, and does not cut corners with things like missing MicroSD card slots and the like.
Once you have built that phone, the only marketing you need to engage in is the type that shows us (on television, the internet and at bus stops, etc) how great the phone is and what we can do with it. No stunts, nothing stupid... Go!
"You need to make a good phone that does not cost too much, is well built and looks nice, does everything we would expect, and does not cut corners with things like missing MicroSD card slots and the like"
Apple might take issue with much of that. Their original iPhone was expensive and full of technical compromises (like missing a MicroSD slot, removable battery, poor battery life, limited calling ability etc), but while admittedly a pretty phone, was made desirable by superb marketing. (As always).
The truth is that humans are mostly (perhaps all) gullible idiots, and you can sell us anything if you package and present it to us in the right way.
The flashmob marketing approach can work - if it's executed well and has a purpose. I'm not sure either of those criteria was met, though it's certainly got people talking about RIM if nothing else.
No surprise RIM doesn't currently have a CMO.
Meanwhile in Queensland...
Its a holiday on Monday so we won't get the news till Tuesday. Oh Well.
when you run out of ideas, try marketing
Wonder what they could come up with if they put this sort of effort into their products ?

By Luciana Lopez
NEW YORK, May 15 (Reuters) - U.S. Treasury debt prices rose
on Wednesday after a week of losses as manufacturing data
pointed to lingering weakness in the economy and price pressures
remained subdued.
U.S. industrial production fell more than expected in April,
down 0.5 percent.
Regional data suggested there could be more contraction
ahead, as well, with the New York Fed's 'Empire State' general
business conditions index shrinking to minus 1.43 in May,
despite expectations for growth from April.
In addition, the U.S. Labor Department said on Wednesday its
seasonally adjusted producer price index fell 0.7 percent last
month, the biggest decline since February 2010.
That combination of economic weakness and slow inflation,
analysts said, suggested that the Federal Reserve could continue
its massive easing program for months, if not longer.
'So we've got slower growth, sliding inflation and central
bank stimulus,' said Kim Rupert, managing director of global
fixed income analysis at Action Economics LLC in San Francisco.
'Today's data add to expectations that there's not going to
be any slowing in central bank stimulus anytime soon,' she
The Fed is now buying $85 billion per month in Treasuries
and mortgage-backed securities in a bid to boost the U.S.
economy and bring down stubborn unemployment.
Prices for 10-year notes rose 12/32 to yield
1.942 percent, from 1.9766 percent late on Tuesday.
Prices for 30-year bonds advanced 25/32 to yield
3.158 percent, from 3.1939 percent late on Tuesday.
Investors are trying to gauge when the Fed might slow or
even stop its easing program.
While some labor market data have been encouraging recently,
there have remained enough disappointing data - such as
Wednesday's factory figures - to underscore the continued
potential for weakness in the world's biggest economy.
'Today's figures remain consistent with the soft patch story
that is likely to prevent the Federal Reserve from scaling back
their QE efforts before' the fourth quarter of this year, said
James Knightley of ING Bank in a note to clients.
The unemployment rate also remains at 7.5 percent, a full
percentage point above the 6.5 percent that Fed policymakers
want to see.
And with inflation also well below target - the Fed wants to
see that figure around 2 percent - there are few concerns that
price pressures will eat into economic gains.
'Over the next year at least, inflation is more likely to be
too low rather than too high,' said Paul Dales, senior U.S.
economist with Capital Economics in Toronto.
Indeed, the economy is still struggling, with analysts
forecasting around 2 percent expansion this year - hardly the
robust growth that once made the U.S. economy a global engine.
Nevertheless, that's still better than what the euro zone is
facing: data on Wednesday showed the monetary union's economy
has contracted for six straight quarters.

Lack of collaboration on Tall Ships event spurs scrutiny of Visit Duluth
A task force will recommend to the Duluth City Council tonight that it re-evaluate Visit Duluth's operations.By: Peter Passi, Duluth News Tribune
A task force will recommend to the Duluth City Council tonight that it re-evaluate Visit Duluth's operations.
The group proposes Visit Duluth work harder to partner with the Duluth Entertainment Convention Center on future events, such as tall ship festivals, instead of spearheading them independently. A draft report from the task force asserts that Visit Duluth "has avoided working with the DECC for large events" despite repeated attempts by the DECC to partner."
But Terry Mattson, president and CEO of Visit Duluth, said that isn't so.
"We're very much looking at and speaking with the DECC," he said.
Mattson pointed out that Visit Duluth and the DECC collaborated to bring three tall ships to Duluth in 2008.
In 2009, when Visit Duluth was laying plans for a 2010 Tall Ship Festival, there was a basic agreement that the DECC would organize the event if Visit Duluth worked to promote it. But Mattson said the DECC backed out of the event to reduce its financial risk at a time when its resources were already stretched to the limit by the push to complete work on the new Amsoil Arena.
It was only after the DECC lost its appetite for the event that Visit Duluth agreed to partner with the University of Minnesota Duluth on the 2010 Tall Ship Festival, Mattson said.
Dan Russell, executive director of the DECC, had a different recollection of events and said that despite repeated efforts to meet and work out the details of an agreement with Visit Duluth on how to partner on the Tall Ship Festival, the organization chose instead to work with the University of Minnesota Duluth on the event.
He suspects Visit Duluth's failure to partner with the DECC may have stemmed from a reluctance to lose out on any potential profits. Russell explained that the DECC proposed to assume the full financial risk of the event, for better or worse.
"We wouldn't be interested in a financial partnership," he said. "We'd either make money or lose money on the event, but we wouldn't be arguing over money at the end."
At a meeting in July, Jack La Voy, a task force member and director of the Great Lakes Aquarium, said it was his understanding that Visit Duluth had rebuffed an earlier offer by the Duluth Entertainment Convention Center to take on the Tall Ship Festival.
Mattson responded there had been discussions about a partnership, but told La Voy: "Dan and the DECC decided they didn't want to do it. It was their call."
Members of the task force encouraged Visit Duluth to seek a Tall Ship partner, freeing up staff to focus more of their efforts on overall promotion of the city, rather than event-planning.
Mattson said Visit Duluth is ready and willing to hand over the event to another entity, if a partner steps forward.
"We'd rather not be the torchbearer," he said. But Mattson said any successor will need substantial resources and serious commitment to the event.
"We're in the tall ship business by default," Mattson said. He described the event as "a hook to get new visitors to our community."
Ideally, Mattson said the DECC or some other entity will take Visit Duluth's place in organizing the festival.
"We don't want to own this event in perpetuity," he said. "It's not in our best interests."

National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education
National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education | |
Motto | The Standard of Excellence in Teacher Preparation |
Established | 1954 |
Type | Professional accreditation, National accreditation |
President | James G. Cibulka |
Location | Washington, DC, USA |
Website | [1] |
The National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE) was founded in 1954 to accredit teacher certification programs at U.S. colleges and universities. NCATE is a council of educators created to ensure and raise the quality of preparation for their profession. NCATE is recognized by the U.S. Department of Education as an accrediting institution. NCATE accreditation is specific to teacher education and is different from regional accreditation.
Founding Organizations[edit]
Five national education groups were instrumental in the creation of NCATE:
- The American Association of Colleges for Teacher Education (AACTE, which formerly accredited teachers colleges),
- The National Education Association (NEA),
- The National School Boards Association (NSBA),
- The National Association of State Directors of Teacher Education and Certification (NASDTEC)
- The Council of Chief State School Officers (CCSSO).
Coalition of Organizations[edit]
Today NCATE is a coalition of 33 member organizations of teachers, teacher educators, content specialists, and local and state policy makers. All are committed to quality teaching, and together, the coalition represents over 3 million individuals. The professional associations that comprise NCATE also provide financial support and participate in the development of NCATE standards, policies, and procedures.
Criticisms of National Teacher Education Accreditation[edit]
Critics of NCATE point to a lack of evidence connecting national accreditation with teacher quality or effectiveness. They challenge the notion that any college or university teacher education program accredited by nationally recognized teacher program accrediting organizations is any better or worse than a program that is not accredited. Critics also question NCATE's exorbitant costs accrued by universities seeking accreditation. Further, NCATE lacks transparency in terms of the professional backgrounds of its examiners, reviewers, board members, and staff. Teacher educators are required to devote time to mindless, trivial tasks rather than focusing on students and research.[1][2]

Daredevils Try Out Adult-Size Hot Wheels Track
Good morning. I'm Linda Wertheimer. Hot Wheels and their twisty plastic tracks have long been a source of small scale thrills. But on Saturday, daredevils Tanner Foust and Greg Tracy went behind the miniature. They raced two rally cars around a 66-foot tall version of a Hot Wheels loop-de-loop racetrack. Seven times gravity was the hardest part. The only thing broken was a world record. Don't try this at home. It's MORNING EDITION. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

Texas Tech Will Throw At, And Challenge, ISUBy Rob Gray, Reporter
AMES, Iowa — Iowa State left cornerback Jeremy Reeves smiled at the question.
Yes, he's quiet. Yes, opposing quarterbacks have tended to avoid his side of the field. And yes, that's about to change. "It's coming this week," said Reeves, who will make his 25th career start when Texas Tech brings its indiscriminate and powerful passing attack to Jack Trice Stadium for Saturday's 6 p.m. Big 12 opener for both schools. "It doesn't matter who it is. They're throwing it wherever — no matter what corner, safety, nickel, whatever. They're throwing the ball." That's Tech, which like ISU stands 3-0 this season. And Reeves has performed well against the free-wheeling Red Raiders. In last season's 41-7 win at Lubbock, he made five tackles, snared an interception and broke up a pass. In 2010's 52-38 triumph, he tied a single-game career-high in stops with 10, sprinkling in another pass breakup. "Jeremy, he's Jeremy," ISU free safety Jacques Washington said. "He's a corner you can count in and has been that way for the past three years." Blink and you'll miss him. That's because respect for his experience and coverage skills have made him largely invisible this season. "A lot of times it's good when they're not talking about a cornerback," said Cyclone coach Paul Rhoads, whose team hopes to win its conference opener for the first time since 2002. "It's good when he's not having a lot of production because guys don't feel they can go his way, or when (they do) it's minimal and he makes simple plays that don't create a lot of attention." Reeves grew up in Allen, Texas, near Dallas, dreaming of playing for an in-state or nearby Big 12 power. It didn't happen — mostly because he stands 5-7. The snubs bothered him once, but don't now. "I don't really worry about it anymore," said Reeves, who was told by assistant coaches from Texas and Oklahoma they would have welcomed him if he were taller. "Some people had their opinion on who they wanted, what player they wanted to pick. I'm just proud to be a Cyclone and glad to be here right now playing under coach Rhoads. That's all that matters to me." ISU defensive coordinator calls Reeves "a leader" and "a hard worker." He'll face a tall — stress, tall — task against the Red Raiders. Darrin Moore, Tech's starting "Z" receiver, stands 6-4. Top tight end Jace Amaro is 6-5. Each has caught three touchdown passes this season for an offense averaging 597.6 yards per game. "Better wide receivers, better competition," Reeves said. "It's going to be a tough test for is, but we're going to see how it is." And fans will probably notice Reeves — and anyone else conceivably deployed in pass coverage — a lot. What they won't likely see are any deer-in-the-headlights looks. "It's amazing, man, just to see how we fly around when we watch film," Reeves said. "But there's room to get better. We're not where we want to be. We haven't played our best game yet. I'm just ready for it to come all out and have everybody clicking." TV TALK: Saturday's game will be broadcast on Fox College Sports (FCS). It's available to DirecTV and Mediacom Cable subscribers who also pay for a sports package. DISH Network does not carry FCS. WOODY REMAINS QUESTIONABLE: ISU running back Jeff Woody has made progress with a knee injury sustained in the Sept. 15 win over Western Illinois. "He ran good (Sunday)," Rhoads said. "He did not practice, but he ran good. I'm hopeful he will play in this game." Conversation GuidelinesBe KindDon't use abusive, offensive, threatening, racist, vulgar or sexually-oriented language.

"It is such a blessing that I can access L2C whenever I need to…either for info or for the discussion group…it is there waiting for me…Thank you. "This service is a life saver!!! I'd be so alone without it. It helps me to feel less isolated and to find information I need to be a better caregiver." Link2Care is an innovative Internet-based information and support system sponsored by California's Caregiver Resource Centers (CRCs) and created by Family Caregiver Alliance. It's been in operation since 1999.
Recently we asked participants what they thought of the system, and the response was overwhelmingly positive, confirming our belief that caregivers today deserve and want access to reliable, supportive and timely information online.
Caregivers for people with cognitive impairment face many challenges related to changing family roles, confounding care and behavior issues, and competing demands on work and personal time. It's no wonder that caregivers often feel isolated by their situation and unsure what steps to take to get help. Our goal with Link2Care is to help address these concerns and more. Results were very positive:
Using a personal password to enter the website, caregivers have 24/7 access to a number of specially designed features. The top features valued by Link2Care users are:
One-quarter of the respondents said they used and liked the confidential e-journal feature. Eighty percent found it helpful to have caregiver support available over the Internet. More than one-third of the caregivers said they felt more comfortable using Link2Care knowing everyone involved is associated with a Caregiver Resource Center and either lives in or is caring for someone in California.
A snapshot of the people who use Link2Care shows a group who is mostly female (75%), age 20 to 89 (85% are age 40-79), and live with the person they care for (75%). The greatest number of enrollees are adult daughters (39%), although spouses (wives 25% and husbands 15%), sons (8%), and other caregivers (relatives, partners and friends) also actively participate in the program.
To date, more than 700 caregivers have been enrolled in Link2Care.
Leah Eskenazi, FCA's Link2Care Project Manager, said, "At one point during the initial rollout of Link2Care, staff thought caregivers might not use an Internet-based program, that it was ahead of its time. But the results of this survey are gratifying. Caregiver satisfaction with the Link2Care website and discussion group continues to grow and enrollment steadily climbs."
All that's needed to use Link2Care is a computer with an Internet connection. To find out more about this program contact Family Caregiver Alliance, (800) 445-8106 or your local Caregiver Resource Center. You can also visit the program online at www.link2care.net.

(CNN) — Boeing says it's ready to get its grounded 787 Dreamliner back in the air. The company is waiting for the Federal Aviation Administration to clear its proposed fix for a battery problem. Boeing says the solution provides three levels of protection against fires in the jet's lithium batteries.
The F-A-A said it is reviewing Boeing's proposal, but won't give the green light until they are sure the batteries are safe. The Dreamliner fleet has been grounded worldwide since January 16 after battery fires aboard two 787s.

Paper Plant Death Leaves QuestionsCatawba, SC--The Wife of a man killed at a paper plant in York County makes strong accusations about her husband's death. 39-year-old Samir Storey died while doing maintenance inside a tank last week at the Resolute Forest Plant in Catawba, two other men were involved but survived the incident. Samir's cousin Jermel was present when the accident took place. Jermel says he was unable to get to his cousin, who was left dangling in his harness inside the tank. He claims no one at the plant did anything to help save Samir. Storey's wife says the company did not properly train him for his job and says she's convinced that he didn't get the proper medical attention after the accident. Storey's family hasn't filed a lawsuit but their attorney says safety needs to be examined, claiming this wasn't the first death at the plant. Four workers were burned last year due to equipment malfunction and two workers were killed in an explosion back in 2000. Most Popular |

There are several characteristics that make the University of Northwestern Business Department unique.
Every industry, church, or nonprofit organization needs to plan its financial future, raise funds and control costs. In recognition of this necessity, all Northwestern business programs include a rigorous quantitative foundation in statistics, accounting and financial principles. Mathematics is the foundation of the curriculum. The quality of Northwestern's accounting and finance graduates has been recognized by national certification agencies and by employers. All organizations must have effective accounting and financial control systems. Northwestern business graduates are well equipped to address these needs.
The University of Northwestern Business Department attracts and recruits students interested a rigorous academic curriculum. The faculty business expertise provides the foundation for a student's initial and long-term business career. The quality of business students is exemplified by their high admission test scores, academic excellence, ethical behavior, individual and teamwork abilities, commitment to a Christ-centered faith, national test standings, participation in post-graduate schools, and successful business careers.
One objective of the business department is to develop marketable skills in our students. We believe on the first day of employment a business graduate should be able to prepare reconciliation, develop and implement an integrated marketing plan, evaluate a budget, give basic tax planning advice or use common software. Graduates have the practical skills to contribute immediately.
The business faculty has had a great variety of positions in the business world, including:
Business students must be literate in today's technology. All business students are required to take three courses that emphasize the use of technology within a business setting. Students receive practical hands-on training using the newest version of the Microsoft Office Suite. They learn skills that the modern business professional is required to know to be successful in the workplace. Our business faculty is in constant contact with businesses in order to understand what the needs are and to supply students with the technology skills to solve business problems.
Northwestern business seniors consistently rank among the top in the country on the Educational Testing Service Major Field Test. The four-hour, multiple-choice, voluntary exam evaluates a college's overall business program as compared to other colleges. The test covers marketing, economics, accounting, finance, management, and management information systems. In 2003, over 4,400 students from hundreds of colleges and universities took the exam; Northwestern seniors placed among the top 264 students. Northwestern also ranked in the top one percent in both the economic and management information system categories. Students also excel on the grueling four-part CPA exam, continually testing higher than the state and national averages. While 15 percent of university students pass all four parts the first time, 30 percent of our students pass all four parts the first time.

Journal of Optical Networking, Vol. 4, Issue 2, pp. 97-98 (2005)

Call for Papers: Convergence

Guest Editors:
 Thomas E. Darcie, University of Victoria
 Robert Doverspike, AT&T
 Martin Zirngibl, Lucent Technologies

Coordinating Associate Editor:
 Steven K. Korotky, Lucent Technologies

 The Journal of Optical Networking (JON) invites submissions to a special issue on Convergence.

 Convergence has become a popular theme in telecommunications, one that has broad implications across all segments of the industry. Continual evolution of technology and applications continues to erase lines between traditionally separate lines of business, with dramatic consequences for vendors, service providers, and consumers. Spectacular advances in all layers of optical networking-leading to abundant, dynamic, cost-effective, and reliable wide-area and local-area connections-have been essential drivers of this evolution. As services and networks continue to evolve towards some notion of convergence, the continued role of optical networks must be explored.

 One vision of convergence renders all information in a common packet (especially IP) format. This vision is driven by the proliferation of data services. For example, time-division multiplexed (TDM) voice becomes VoIP. Analog cable-television signals become MPEG bits streamed to digital set-top boxes. T1 or OC-N private lines migrate to Ethernet virtual private networks (VPNs). All these packets coexist peacefully within a single packet-routing methodology built on an optical transport layer that combines the flexibility and cost of data networks with telecom-grade reliability. While this vision is appealing in its simplicity and shared widely, specifics of implementation raise many challenges and differences of opinion. For example, many seek to expand the role of Ethernet in these transport networks, while massive efforts are underway to make traditional TDM networks more data friendly within an evolved but backward-compatible SDH/SONET (synchronous digital hierarchy and synchronous optical network) multiplexing hierarchy.

 From this common underlying theme follow many specific instantiations. Examples include the convergence at the physical, logical, and operational levels of voice and data, video and data, private-line and virtual private-line, fixed and mobile, and local and long-haul services. These trends have many consequences for consumers, vendors, and carriers. Faced with large volumes of low-margin data traffic mixed with traditional voice services, the need for capital conservation and operational efficiency drives carriers away from today's separate overlay networks for each service and towards "converged" platforms. For example, cable operators require transport of multiple services over both hybrid fiber coax (HFC) and DWDM transport technologies. Local carriers seek an economical architecture to deliver integrated services on optically enabled broadband-access networks. Services over wireless-access networks must coexist with those from wired networks. In each case, convergence of networks and services inspires an important set of questions and challenges, driven by the need for low cost, operational efficiency, service performance requirements, and optical transport technology options.

 This Feature Issue explores the various interpretations and implications of network convergence pertinent to optical networking. How does convergence affect the evolution of optical transport-layer and control approaches? Are the implied directions consistent with research vision for optical networks? Substantial challenges remain. Papers are solicited across the broad spectrum of interests. These include, but are not limited to:

 Architecture, design and performance of optical wide-area-network (WAN), metro, and access networks

 Integration strategies for multiservice transport platforms

 Access methods that bridge traditional and emerging services

 Network signaling and control methodologies

 All-optical packet routing and switching techniques

Working holiday scheme
The working holiday scheme enables young people from Sweden and New Zealand to spend up to a year in each others countries to foster goodwill, friendship and exchange of ideas. We encourage people on working holiday permits to consider jobs in the areas of agriculture, horticulture and viticulture (grape-growing).
Working holidaymakers who are able to show they have worked in the horticulture or viticulture industries for at least three months could be eligible to obtain an extra three month stay in New Zealand.
The New Zealand Immigration website has more information on the working holiday Scheme for Swedish nationals.

Either I made this recipe famous, or it made me famous—either way, it tastes great!
Servings: 20-24 servings
Prep Time: 20 min
Cook Time: 50 min
Difficulty: Easy
1 (16-ounce) box powdered sugar
3 to 4 tablespoon cocoa powder
1 egg, plus 2 eggs
1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1 (18.25 ounce) package chocolate cake mix
Butter, for greasing pan, plus 16 tablespoons (2 sticks) butter, melted
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup chopped nuts
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Lightly grease a 13 by 9-inch baking pan. In a large bowl, combine the cake mix, 1 egg, and 8 tablespoons (1 stick) melted butter, and stir until well blended. Pat mixture into prepared pan and set aside. In a stand mixer, or with a hand mixer, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add the remaining 2 eggs, and the cocoa powder. Lower the speed of the mixer, and add the powdered sugar. Continue beating until ingredients are well mixed. Slowly add the remaining 8 tablespoons (1 stick) of melted butter, and the vanilla, continuing to beat the mixture until smooth. Stir in nuts with a rubber spatula. Spread filling over cake mixture in pan.
Bake for 40 to 50 minutes. Be careful not to overcook the cake; the center should still be a little gooey when finished baking. Let cake partially cool on a wire rack before cutting into pieces.
We make this every thanksgiving! It's delicious and I only get it once a year! I can't wait till next year!

I usually add an extra stick of butter and granulated sugar on top to make it extra gooey n delicious on the inside and crunchy on the outside! I love the way Paula makes me feel so comfortable with eating what I want. I am so tired of those other shows preaching about eating healthy. The guilt they push on us makes me feel like I´m at church or something. A little extra flavor never killed anyone, right? I love you Paula!!!

"I had been looking to buy blank funeral thank you cards on Amazon and at the bottom of the screen there was a referral to TinyPrints.com. So, I started just browsing through options and within a short time I had located a beautiful blue design (she loved blue) and had our Thank You card perfected and ready to go. I clicked print on Monday and the cards arrived on Wednesday - fantastic. What we produced aren't just Thank You cards, they are amazingly beautiful and poignant cards that reflect the beauty of our mother."
"This design was simple and sweet and perfect stationary from our baby girl Georgia. I also love that when we're done with the cards, Tiny Prints makes it easy to re-order so we always have a supply on hand. The size was perfect too and I was impressed with the quality of these."
"I ordered these cards for shower Thank You's. I live in Germany and ordered the cards to say "Danke schön!" (Thank you!). They turned out great! The quality of the paper is fantastic. The envelope size presents a bit of a problem with the German post, because it is smaller than a normal post envelope, it costs ~2.50 EUR to send domestic post (each card). It would be great to offer an envelope size that is a bit bigger, for European clients : ) I also ordered the matching envelope labels and am really happy with these as well!"
"I love this Thank You card! A simple thank you, a name and small photo....all done so perfectly! Another great product from Tiny Prints!! My favorite place to shop for all my special occasions!!!"
"This was perfect card to use for "thank you's" from my newborn daughter. The paper is very thick and feels expensive. I really liked the simple design, and I felt that these could be used for many years (if I have extras). I just wish that I could have changed the color of the cards. I personally prefer purples to pinks for little girls, but I didn't have that option."

Menstrual Cramps TreatmentMenstrual Cramps Remedies and ReliefThe best way to relieve painful menstrual cramps is to take an anti-inflammatory medication. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) inhibit the formation of prostaglandins and reduce pain and inflammation. Ibuprofen (Advil is a familiar brand name), naproxen (Aleve, Naprosyn), and ketoprofen (Orudis) are available over-the-counter and without a prescription, and are effective at blocking the effects of prostaglandins.
If anti-inflammatory medicine is not an option, or if additional relief is needed, the following strategies may help relieve menstrual cramps:

New tools made possible by emerging technologies are expanding the automated test revolution.
Decades ago, manual test predominated. Fueled by new technologies, automated test emerged, revolutionizing the test industry. With the increased speed and ease of automated test, engineers suddenly had more data stored than ever before, and it often spread across geographic locations.
Today, enterprise test is solving these test data management (TDM) challenges through new tools that do not replace, but instead build upon the advantages of automated test. Enabled by database, networking, and Internet technologies, these new TDM tools provide easy access to data and reports across all groups and locations. With TDM systems that leverage these enterprise technologies, engineering managers now have easy real-time access to the information necessary to make critical business decisions.
Before the emergence of automated test, labor-intensive hand testing was the only option. Manual test involves the time-consuming process of manually setting up instrumentation, taking measurements, and recording the results on paper or entering the test data into a computer. Manual test is also dependent upon the skill of the person performing the test, which leads to quality, productivity, and turnover risk problems. As the number of tests or quantity of products grows, the labor and its associated costs increase linearly. And, because manual testing leverages only traditional stand-alone instrumentation technology, it is usually very inefficient.
Using the PC, instrumentation, and test software, automated test required little to no operator intervention. Tedious, repetitive test and measurement tasks were now PC-driven, with tests executed at significantly faster rates and with greater precision than possible with human operator driven manual test.
The automated test revolution shifted the concentration of testing effort and skill away from expertise in manually performing the test to expertise in developing the test. Test became more efficient and cost effective. Companies could now scale the number of tests and the number of test stations without also simultaneously increasing the number of operators needed to execute the tests. Off-line engineering analysis, visualization, and report generation tools emerged to gather and examine the results generated from the automated test station.
With the advent of automated test, companies were able to create large quantities of test data more efficiently and economically than ever before. But difficulty accessing, organizing, aggregating, analyzing, and reporting on the data often left companies without the ability to effectively turn the data into actionable information. That information is necessary to make critical business decisions, which would reduce costs, increase product quality, get products to market faster, and provide a competitive advantage.
Building on the advantages of automated test, enterprise test automates the tasks of organizing, finding, and reporting on test data across multiple test stations. A key component of enterprise test is test data management, which provides all groups involved with product design, validation, manufacturing, or service with easy, real-time access to test data and reports across all company locations.
With enterprise test, automated test systems first execute design and manufacturing tests. The TDM system then sends results to an enterprise database using fail-safe data transfers. Once in the TDM database, engineers and managers access real-time test data and reports, which allow them to take action to improve product designs and processes. Manufacturing groups analyze yield reports, SPC reports, and defect reports. Design and manufacturing use this real-time information to quickly identify trends and correlate test results between the two groups.
Enterprise test further shifts the concentration of effort away from managing and reporting on test data to the identification of actions necessary to improve products and processes.
With the evolution of test systems into the enterprise, the value-added skill in the company moves from the people performing tests and collating data to the people developing the tests systems and making key decisions to improve the company's products. Valuable time previously spent running tests and managing data can now take action to improve the company's products and processes.

Finally... The explicit guide women the world over have been waiting for...
"Forbidden Insights Into The Mind Of A Free Thinking, Sexually Satisfied Woman..."
And How YOU Can Use These Body-Quivering Secrets To Enjoy A More Fulfilling, Ultra-Satisfying Life...
From: Janine Queen To: Anyone Unsatisifed With Their Sex Life
Dear Frustrated Friend,
You're unsatisified.
Either your sex life is a damp squib or you can't achieve satisfying orgasms on your own.
First of all...
You're not alone.
Millions of women around the globe never achieve the heights of pleasure available to them.
In fact -- they're not even aware of what's possible for them.
This may be because of their social conditioning, the lack of skills of their partner... or just plain close-mindedness.
Today, I want to invite you to free yourself up, open your mind and scale the heights of intense pleasure available to you each and every day...
"You Can Experience The Most Intense Orgasms Of Your Life... By Yourself... Starting Today..."
Hi, my name's Janine.
Only a few short years ago I too was climbing the walls with frustration and dissatisfaction with my (lack of) sex life.
Men couldn't satisfy me and I couldn't even please myself.
I'd tried every "trick" and "technique" out there with no success. I'd never experienced orgasm and, if you're anything like I was, this gave me a crushing, soul-destroying feeling.
I felt doomed to spend the rest of my life dissatisfied and never truly enjoying the one all-natural source of pleasure.
It didn't seem fair. Until...
"Holly Entered My Life..."
I met her through a friend and we instantly clicked.
I soon found out that Holly was a true free spirit. And by that I don't mean she'd read a bunch of self-help books...
This girl had a harsh upbringing but that had turned her into a woman not afraid to get the most out of life... and unafraid to get what she wants.
She's also obsessed with sex.
Now... I was a pretty shy girl and to be honest, some of the questions Holly asked me made me start to dislike her.
I mean... what nerve!
How could she ask me such personal, private stuff about my sex life?
I realize now she wanted to help me... and boy did she ever. When I got an insight into Holly's own solo sexual practices... I was shocked and oh-so-excited.
Now YOU can get those same insights... if you're open-minded enough of course...
"A Course In Self-Pleasure Mastery"
Holly introduced me to little known, never spoken of -secrets that you and I can make use of right now...giving you the ultimate in self pleasure.
You see, we're all to eager to blame our partners, stress at work, anything we can as the reason for our lack of satisfaction.
In reality the reason you never achieve full orgasm, the reason you lead an unsatisfied life is because of a lack of knoweldge.
And I'm going to give you the same eye-opening insights Holly gave to me which has an explosive impact on my life.
I began to ooze confidence and even appear more attractive, we'll come to the reasons for that later. For now...
I'd like to introduce you to...
Self Pleasure Secrets - how to enjoy a completely satisfying sex life with or without a partner.
Finally understand the needs of your body and spirit and unlock the key to self-confidence, increased attractiveness and total self-pleasure...
You'll discover...
Ok Janine. Show Me The Way...
"The Long-Term Effects Are Astonishing..."
But you see, once I'd been taught the key to self-pleasure by my good friend Holly, I began to notice other changes in my life.
I was no longer timid around men. Somehow, perhaps because I no longer needed them to feel "worthy", I was more relaxed and confident around them.
And this in turn increased my attractiveness, I started to get comments about how "pretty" and "sexy" I was looking... and this was without changing any of my style, clothes or make-up.
I guess feeling sexy makes you look sexy too.
This increase in confidence led to me getting a raise in my job... I now work alongside my boss and command a bigger salary.
Plus I'm no longer a wallflower at parties and my social life has gone through the roof.
I'm convinced... discovering the art of self-pleasure made me a sexier, more attractive, more confident and - in the end - wealthier girl.
Wait 'til you discover the secrets for yourself, I can't wait to hear about your results...
You'll find out...
If you want to experience...
...then I invite you to delve into the pages of my report...you'll never look back and your sex life certainly won't be the same again. That, I promise you...
"Ok Janine, What's This Going To Cost Me?"
Let me tell you... a lot less than its worth.
Distilled into this volume is every piece of stimulating info I could get from Holly and of course my own experiences.
What would it be worth to you to overhaul your sex life, to gain unlimited confidence and to radiate an irresistible sexuality you never knew you had?
What would it be worth to be able to sexually pleasure yourself and give yourself orgasms only ever seen in your wildest dreams... or to show a partner how to do it for you?
You'd pay at least $500 to get a session with a sexual therapist... and you'd probably have to return multiple times to get the same kind of understanding.
But you won't have to pay $500 -- not even close.
In fact you'll pay less than $100 to get hold of this manual straight away via immediate download.
Because I don't have to deal with postage costs I've managed to set the price at only $47.
WAIT -- this is brand new online version so for a limited time I'm lowering the price to just $47 $27...

Market segmentation
The lead section of this article may need to be rewritten. (August 2012) |
This article needs additional citations for verification. (December 2012) |
Market segmentation is a marketing strategy that involves dividing a broad target market into subsets of consumers who have common needs and priorities and then designing and implementing strategies to target them.
Companies create product differentiation strategies to target market segments.
Criteria for segmenting[edit]
An ideal market segment meets all of the following criteria:
- It is possible to measure.
- It must be large enough to earn profit.
- It must be stable enough that it does not vanish after some time.
- It is possible to reach potential customers via the organization's promotion and distribution channel.
- It is internally homogeneous (potential customers in the same segment prefer the same product qualities).
- It is externally heterogeneous, that is, potential customers from different segments have different quality preferences.
- It responds consistently to a given market stimulus.
- It can be reached by market intervention in a cost-effective manner.
- It is useful in deciding on the marketing mix.
Methods for segmenting consumer markets[edit]
Geographic segmentation[edit]
Marketers can segment according to geographic criteria—nations, states, regions, countries, cities, neighbourhoods, or postal codes. The geo-cluster approach combines demographic data with geographic data to create a more accurate or specific profile.[1] With respect to region, in rainy regions merchants can sell things like raincoats, umbrellas and gumboots. In hot regions, one can sell summer clothing. A small business commodity store may target only customers from the local neighborhood, while a larger department store can target its marketing towards several neighborhoods in a larger city or area, while ignoring customers in other continents.
Behavioral segmentation[edit]
Behavioral segmentation divides consumers into groups according to their knowledge of, attitude towards, usage rate or response to a product[2]
Segmentation by occasions[edit]
Segmentation according to occasions relies on the special needs and desires of consumers on various occasions - for example, for products for use in relation with a certain holiday. Products such as Christmas decorations or Diwali lamps are marketed almost exclusively in the time leading up to the related event, and will not generally be available all year round. Another type of occasional market segments are people preparing for a wedding or a funeral, occasions which only occur a few times in a person's lifetime, but which happen so often in a large population that ongoing general demand makes for a worthwhile market segment.
Segmentation by benefits[edit]
Segmentation can take place according to benefits sought by the consumer[3] or according to perceived benefits which a product/service may provide.
Using segmentation in customer retention[edit]
The basic approach to retention-based segmentation is that a company tags each of its active customers with three values:
- Is this customer at high risk of canceling the company's service?
One of the most common indicators of high-risk customers is a drop off in usage of the company's service. For example, in the credit card industry this could be signaled through a customer's decline in spending on his or her card.
- Is this customer worth retaining?
This determination boils down to whether the post-retention profit generated from the customer is predicted to be greater than the cost incurred to retain the customer.[4][5]
- What retention tactics should be used to retain this customer?
For customers who are deemed worthy of saving, it is essential for the company to know which save tactics are most likely to be successful. Tactics commonly used range from providing special customer discounts to sending customers communications that reinforce the value proposition of the given service.
Price discrimination[edit]
Where a monopoly exists, the price of a product is likely to be higher than in a competitive market and the quantican be increased further if the market can be segmented with different prices charged to different segments charging higher prices to those segments willing and able to pay more and charging less to those whose demand is price elastic. The price discriminator might need to create rate fences that will prevent members of a higher price segment from purchasing at the prices available to members of a lower price segment. This behavior is rational on the part of the monopolist, but is often seen by competition authorities as an abuse of a monopoly position, whether or not the monopoly itself is sanctioned. Areas in which this price discrimination is seen range from transportation to pharmaceuticals.[citation needed]
Algorithms and approaches[edit]
Any existing discrete variable is a segmentation - this is called "a priori" segmentation, as opposed to "post-hoc" segmentation resulting from a research project commissioned to collect data on many customer attributes. Customers can be segmented by gender ('Male' or 'Female') or attitudes ('progressive' or 'conservative'), but also by discretized numeric variables, such as by age ("<30" or ">=30") or income ("The 99% (AGI<US $300,000)" vs "The 1% (AGI >= US $300,000)").
Common statistical techniques for segmentation analysis include:
- Clustering algorithms such as K-means or other Cluster analysis
- Statistical mixture models such as Latent Class Analysis
- Ensemble approaches such as Random Forests
