Today I have interviewed Zenger Folkman President Joseph Folkman about the keys to building a great organization. What are the critical issues? If the answers were clear, every organization would likely change. There are literally thousands of variables that leave leaders baffled as they sift through the clutter of needs and options to decide what is crucial. Most organizations are not able to fix everything; therefore, they need to prioritize the capabilities that if changed, would have the greatest impact on the organization's results.
At Zenger Folkman, we recently completed a study to measure the impact of organizational effectiveness and the key capabilities that differentiate the very best organizations. To do this, we studied 122,000 employees in 10,000 groups from different organizations. The research distilled thousands of variables down to a few key capabilities that leveraged organizational effectiveness. Even with the distilled list of key variables, we discovered that when you ask employees what is going well and what needs to be improved, the process invariably produces a substantially longer list of problems that need to be fixed. Most leaders who examine their employee survey results can also identify with the long list of areas they'd like to improve.
Says Joe: "In life, I have generally found the issues that people complain about most are seldom the elements that make the greatest impact when changed. For example, many years ago my daughter desperately wanted a certain toy, but on Christmas morning she spent more time playing in an empty box than she did with the long anticipated new toy."
"At times, we don't understand what our organization will value," he continues. "For example, before I owned an iPad, I didn't think I would find an iPad beneficial for anything but playing games like Angry Birds. But after I received one as a gift, I found myself constantly checking my schedule, browsing newspapers, and taking pictures and notes."
We have found that with groups of employees, we can often predict the things they will value highly. Improving these highly valued issues will generally produce a dramatic positive impact. However, pushing improvement in lower valued issues costs a great deal, but produces little measurable improvement impact at all.
There are many areas in every group that need improvement, but there is a much smaller list of key areas that are valued most by the members of a particular department or team. The problem we have is that most leaders are so preoccupied with "fixing weaknesses " that they don't seek feedback from group members to identify which of the changes they would appreciate most.
For example, consider the following example from one of our airline clients. The issues that members identified as most negative were very similar from one group to the next. Using a new algorithm, the employee survey was then able to measure both what was needed and what was most valued for their primary three groups: pilots, flight attendants, and baggage handlers.
Flight Attendants
Baggage Handlers
Each group's tasks and responsibilities to the airline are very different, so it should not be surprising that they needed and valued different things. By integrating the factors of "what are people frustrated with?" with "what is valued?" leaders could address their problems more specifically. This meant that leaders could more accurately eliminate those factors where there was negativity, but the value wasn't that high. By focusing improvement in areas that each group of employees valued most, the organization improved its effectiveness dramatically.
However, let me issue a word of warning: discovering only the needs for improvement should not be the priority when companies are seeking to increase their effectiveness. We find that when it comes to recognizing superior execution or avoiding mistakes, the companies' area of focus and emphasis is wrong. Sadly, most employee surveys center on what's wrong, what we aren't doing well, or what we need to fix.
We strongly advise you to consider a new and different approach. While you will always need to address your organization's serious defects, the better approach is to also identify the organizational strengths you should build. We maintain that organizations who build on their strengths greatly increase effectiveness. But organizations who only focus on what is wrong will miss out entirely on the wonderful opportunity to build and expand on the things they've do right.
In short, the balance is vital. Organizations should do the following:
1) Identify items in the organization that are both needed and valued by different work groups.
2) Identify organizational strengths, and build on them.
The beginning of your most profound improvements is as simple as that.

For more results from our most recent set of studies, you can get our newest eBook, Chapter 1 of How To Be Exceptional: Drive Leadership Success by Magnifying your Strengths here, or you can order the complete book from Amazon here. We welcome your remarks.
The research for this article was provided by Joseph Folkman, Zenger Folkman.
Great insights – I like Joe's thoughts on how much more traction we could be gaining for our efforts if we honed in on the improvement our customers (or bosses) value the most as a course of action. It clearly makes a big difference. Thank you, Jack, for this post!

- Little Falls man describes 'finishing' teenagers with shots to heads
The man accused of executing two teenage cousins who broke into his Little Falls, Minn., home had weapons stolen from the house in October and told authorities at that time about two earlier break-ins.
Byron David Smith, 64, officially reported only the October burglary because he "didn't feel (the others) were significant enough," Morrison County Sheriff Michel Wetzel said Tuesday, Nov. 27. In October, Smith had "guns and other valuables taken," but Wetzel did not have additional details.
The thefts remain unsolved, and no suspects have been identified.
Smith was charged Monday with two counts of second-degree murder in the shootings of Nicholas Brady, 17, and Haile Kifer, 18, after they broke into his house Thanksgiving Day. Authorities were not notified until a day later after Smith contacted a neighbor, who then called authorities in the central Minnesota community of 8,000.
Minnesota law allows homeowners to protect themselves, but prosecutors contend Smith went too far.
The charges against Smith describe what prosecutors called the "cold-blooded murder" of the teens as they entered Smith's basement. Both were shot in the head with a rifle. Authorities said Smith described one shot as a "good clean finishing shot."
Smith remains in the Morrison County Jail with bail set at $2 million. His attorney, Gregory Larson, did not respond to a request for comment.
A U.S. State Department spokesman confirmed Tuesday that Smith retired from his post as a "security engineer" in 2006. The spokesman would not elaborate on Smith's job.
According to a job description posted on the State Department's website, a security engineer is responsible for the protection of U.S. embassies, missions and diplomats.
Security engineers receive nine months of specialized training and spend much of their time overseas, according to the job description. Applicants must have a college degree, pass a background check and be eligible for "top secret" security clearance.
Morrison County Attorney Brian Middendorf said the judge has stipulated that Smith relinquish his passport because he had lived overseas.
Smith's friend John Lange said Monday that Smith's home in a semirural area of Little Falls had been targeted by area teens looking for items to steal to get money to buy drugs. The home had been burglarized at least a half-dozen times and about $10,000 in cash had been taken, along with weapons and other valuables, Lange said.
Authorities would not say whether drugs or alcohol played any role in the break-in or the shooting. Wetzel said investigators are waiting on toxicology reports for the two victims.
Little Falls Community Schools will have grief counselors available for students at least until the end of the week, according to Stephen Jones, the district's superintendent.
Kifer attended a district alternative school and Brady was a student in the district last year but had transferred to the nearby Pillager school district.
"The day was pretty subdued," Jones said. "It was a quiet day, although attendance was normal. We certainly had students make use of our counselors and social workers. Teachers said it was a very respectful day."
Meanwhile, a joint funeral will be held Saturday for Brady and Kifer.
Visitation will be from 4 to 8 p.m. Friday at Emblom-Brenny Funeral Service, with a prayer service scheduled for 7 that evening. A funeral will be heldat 10 a.m. Saturday at Living Hope Assembly of God Church.

HIPAA. We've all heard the term. Every time we go to the doctor's office, there seems to be another form to fill out that is a "HIPAA requirement." To most of us, most of the time, HIPAA is just a pain in the butt. Is there any good reason for all this regulation? You bet there is.
Prior to 1996, health care information often fell into the hands of people and organizations that would use it against an individual. Sometimes this misuse had severe impact on a person's employment, or their ability to make major purchases such as a house or car. In some cases, the information was used to deny or cancel insurance policies. While the use of accessed health care information was generally not illegal, it was nearly always unethical. This invasive use of our private health information is what prompted the Federal government to enact HIPAA.
The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 protects your health information by limiting who can see it and what they can do with it. It covers protected health information (PHI) about you that relates to your physical or mental health or condition, your health care, and the payments you make to obtain that care. And it covers information in all forms: medical records, conversations with your doctor, and information about you that is stored in your health insurance provider's computers. Organizations and individuals that divulge PHI, whether intentional or by accident, can be fined up to $50,000 per event, and individuals (maybe your employees) who sell, transfer or use PHI for commercial advantage, personal gain or malicious harm can be subject to fines of up to $250,000 and imprisonment for up to 10 years. These strict penalties drive home the point that organizations must protect themselves from HIPAA violations by ensuring compliance with required standards.
What can your organization do to comply with the HIPAA rules? The American Medical Association (AMA) offers these four tips: First, know your compliance requirements. Whether you are a health care provider or a health insurance plan, HHS's Health Information Privacy website at www.hhs.gov/ocr/privacy/index.html has good information that will help you get familiar with the HIPAA Administrative Simplification Statute and Rules. Second, prioritize your compliance activities. A thorough risk assessment of your organization's policies, practices, and technologies will reveal how prepared you are to handle PHI according to the rules contained within the HIPAA statute. Train your employees to identify and properly handle PHI. Third, ask the right questions. Do we create, maintain, process or transport PHI? Are vendors and subcontractors meeting HIPAA requirements? What support services are available? And fourth, choose and use consultants wisely. Get an assessment from a security expert who knows HIPAA requirements, offers a comprehensive security assessment of your whole organization, and will provide a detailed report of their findings.
Assessing your organization's compliance and training your employees carries a cost, but it's a small price to pay compared to the loss of reputation, fines and possible jail time for HIPAA violations. Protect your organization's health by safeguarding personal health information.

By Alexei Anishchuk SOCHI, Russia (Reuters) - Ukraine's Paralympic chief, Valeriy Sushkevich, said on Friday his team would quit the Winter Paralympic Games if Russia invaded his home country, and that he hoped the competition would be able to spread peace instead. Russia is holding the Games in the Black Sea resort of Sochi at a time when it is being criticised for its actions in Ukraine's southern region of Crimea, where the West accuses Russia of seizing military and government institutions. While Putin says he has the right to send in troops to defend Russian compatriots there but that so far he sees no need to do so. "If there is an escalation of the conflict, intervention on the territory of our country, God forbid the worst, we would not be able to stay here, we would go," Sushkevich told a news conference.

By Lucia Mutikani WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. job growth accelerated sharply in February despite the icy weather that gripped much of the nation, easing fears of an abrupt economic slowdown and keeping the Federal Reserve on track to continue reducing its monetary stimulus. Employers added 175,000 jobs to their payrolls last month after creating 129,000 new positions in January, the Labor Department said on Friday.

NAVSEA looks to temporarily relocate workers in wake of Navy Yard shooting
Friday - 9/20/2013, 4:33pm EDT
But the NAVSEA headquarters, Building 197, is still an active crime scene and remains shuttered.
NAVSEA leadership will work to find alternative work accommodations for the 3,000 employees who worked in the building, including other facilities on the grounds of the Washington Navy Yard, off-base contractor facilities and the disestablished U.S. Coast Guard headquarters at Buzzard Point located a few blocks away.
Navy is also encouraging employees to telework.
"From these temporary sites, NAVSEA will be able to conduct all necessary functions, including awarding contracts," the release stated.
Employees will hear from their supervisors on where they should report to work.
Even after law enforcement finishes its investigation at Building 197, the site where 34-year-old IT contractor Aaron Alexis opened fire will "likely require extensive rehabilitation," the Navy said in its release.
The base gym will also remain closed, because it's being used as a staging area for the FBI investigation.
The entire Navy Yard was closed for two days following Monday's shooting. It reopened Thursday for normal operations under heightened security. However, only DoD-issued identification, such as a Common Access Card, will be recognized for access, the Navy announced.
The Navy has stood up three emergency assistance centers for those affected by the shooting and their families. They are located at Building 111 at the Navy Yard, the fifth floor of the Navy Installations Command Headquarters and Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling's Building 72. Call 1-855-677-1755 for more information.
A televised live memorial for the victims will be held Sunday at 5 p.m.

Cartoon Blues: The Life of The New Yorker's Favorite Depressive Is Drawn Out in New Bio
Saul Steinberg was the best-loved nonwriter in the history of The New Yorker. He did cartoons, fake maps, trick diplomas and tinkered-with postcards, a sketchbook from behind the Iron Curtain and another on the road with the Milwaukee Braves. Often he just did the doodles (the "spots," as editors called them) adorning the columns of spotless prose. He even drew some of the advertisements that appeared in the magazine's margins, until he got so rich he stopped needing the work. The Romanian-born Steinberg did his first New Yorker drawing for Harold Ross in 1941 and his last for David Remnick in 1999, the year of his death. Along the way, he did 90 covers, a number that continues, posthumously, to rise; Steinberg's ghost most recently had the cover last week. His masterpiece appeared 36 years earlier, on March 29th, 1976: "View of the World From 9th Avenue," his emblem of New York self-centeredness, in which the expanses of Ninth and 10th Avenues give way to a fat strip of the Hudson, the foreshortened flyover states and the tapered specks of far-off Asia.

The Samsung Galaxy Tab. It's big. It's bad. It's seven inches of glass and liquid crystals covering one of the most advanced mobile chipsets known to man or beast. Make no mistake -- this isn't a cellphone. It's a tablet computer that happens to run our beloved Android operating system.
The Tab will change the way you live your digital life. Even if you never have the pleasure of using one, it's game changing nature will affect every mobile device (Android or otherwise) from here on out.

Tengda Asian Bistro's range of sushi. (Alison Geisler photo / August 13, 2013) |
Tengda Asian Bistro and Hibachi
1676 Boston Post Rd., Milford, (203) 877-8888, asianbistrogroup.com.
Once an unfamiliar foreign delicacy, sushi has grown into a popular Japanese dish available just about anywhere you look. It can be simple, composed of fish, seaweed, rice and a vegetable, or full of bells and whistles. Either way, presentation is typically what differentiates one establishment's sushi creations from their competition. If you're looking to score some sushi and prefer the more elaborate configurations, take a visit to Tengda Asian Bistro and Hibachi in Milford.
I recently sampled both the fancy and the straightforward sushi from Tengda, and both are quite pleasing. The salmon avocado roll ($5.50), one of my personal favorites no matter where I get my sushi, had nice big hunks of salmon in the middle. The Honey Boston roll ($6.50) has shrimp, lettuce and tobiko inside, drizzled with a honey wasabi sauce that was more sweet than spicy. The Black Dragon roll ($14.95), with shrimp tempura and cucumber inside, topped with eel and avocado, had that nice tempura crunch. On the specials menu, the Dancing Roll ($15.95) was heaped with all sorts of stuff, including tuna, lobster salad and eel, with a sweet eel sauce to top it off.
But it was our appetizer, the Fire Cracker Shrimp ($9.95) that was the standout of the night. Little mini shrimps, slightly crunchy, come slathered in a creamy and ever-so-slightly spicy sauce, served in a tortilla bowl. There was more than enough to split with my boyfriend, who also found the dish to be surprisingly yummy.
If sushi isn't your bag, Tengda has Japanese, Chinese and Southeast Asian menus to pick through, a wide selection of noodles and fried rice, and, if you like a show with your dinner, a bunch of hibachi tables. There is also a shiny bar a bit separated from the restaurant if you just want to get your drink on.

Here are seven reasons Bishop Joseph Mattera debunks the concept that these couples should step back from church ministry.
Find out the most loving and respectful thing a wife can do for her husband on behalf of their marriage.
Whether it's the husband or the wife—or both—here's some suggestions on how to encourage your mate in doing God's work.
Have you ever stopped to think and seriously consider that the local church—your church—is the frontline of offense in the battle for marriage and ultimately the family?
It's a daunting thought. God instituted marriage as one of the foundational principals of mankind, and since the moment of its inception, this sacred bond has been under attack. How is a pastor, whose time and capacity are already spread paper thin, supposed to wage a war for these covenant relationships and maintain a revolution of this magnitude and importancewhen the world is working to make them ever more dispensable?
Ever met anyone who opened your eyes to something that revolutionized your life? For me, that guy is my ministry friend, David Smith. More than 20 years ago after a game of golf, in casual conversation David unknowingly introduced me to an idea that ever since has been a game changer in my marriage.
Anyone who meets David for the first time quickly discovers he's married—happily married. David talks about his wife Linda all the time—even on the golf course where many men seldom talk about their wives. I've always admired that about him. When I spent time with him, he constantly complimented Linda and went out of his way to build her up in front of others.
Hope: An expectation of obtainment. To expect with confidence.
I hope that I get that promotion. I hope that my children don't get hurt. I hope that I find an amazing man to marry.
Everybody hopes in something. For something. It's as natural as breathing.
I (Cindy) hoped that one day I'd find my knight in shining armor. I didn't know when he'd arrive on my doorstep, so while I waited for him, I made a list of things that I desired to find in my future husband. Tall. Musical. Loves Jesus. Sensitive. Funny. Respectable. Admirable. Honest. Trusting. Protecting. Handsome.
I hoped for a lot.

SMX Toronto: The Titanic and Digital Marketing
<< by Sarah Lokitis on April 25th, 2012
Hello from Canada! This is my first trip to Canada, not counting the airport, and minus the winter-like conditions, it is great! SMX Toronto kicks off with a keynote address by Gord Hotchkiss, SVP Mediative, who is one of Canada's most well-known search marketers. Hotchkiss' timely speech titled, "The Seventh Iceberg" will tackle a comparison between digital marketers and the Titanic. In search engine marketing, we have to be prepared for constant changes that are out of our control. If we can't deal with them or aren't prepared for them, will we sink?

Try not. Do or do not, there is no try. -- Yoda
When I had three aged 4, 2 and 1, we moved to another part of the country. I moved away from a group of friends who were my surrogate family. We moved to a hamlet, with one shop and a pub in the middle of a forest and I would sit on the kitchen floor and cry. Beautiful views, but no compensation at all. He had this romantic notion of coming home from work, getting his running gear on, whistling the dogs and running with them for miles on forest tracks. I never told him how bad it was at times. We moved back to my sort of civilisation a couple of years later. So, my deep misery (I wouldnt call it depression) was his fault for choosing to live where I had v little support. I dealt with it. But if I had curtailed his career by forcing him to turn down the job b/c I wouldnt move, this failure he later felt, which in turn led to his A, would have been down to me.
I think maybe Im a strong, feet on the ground, see things in black and white kind of person and he is weak, head in the cloud romantic, seeing things in a hundred shades of grey type of person. So from that, I conclude that his A was going to happen anyway. Knight in shining armour syndrome.
HBH. We can get past this. I still havent examined the forgiveness issue. Ive decided I cant do it, so its on the pending pile. Acceptance? Yes, maybe. Acceptance that this has happened, its over and unlikely to happen again (although there is that bit of pre-empting ), acceptance that he is not the person I thought he was and that our m was over the day he began his A, that we in a different relationship now. I will not wear a wedding ring for the foreseeable future, I will not mark the anniversary date of our previous marriage, (it makes me sick to think that she was "there" b/c he would have been in contact with her) I will not make any promises to him other than the next date on the calendar. That is my way of shedding the sh*t and trying to take steps forward. But forward in MY life. If hes choosing to be next to me, he can no longer tell me in which direction I can go.
Hurtshirley, Nasty. Take care of yourself. But watch the kids. My eldest had what the doctor called a residual whoop. Hed had the jab, but developed a mild form that was enough for him to cough and cough, go red in the face b/c he couldn't catch his breath and then he'd be sick. Usually over me! It lasted about 6 weeks. I have supposed that if he hadnt had the jab (it was controversial at the time), he would have got full blown and probably died.

Last night in the midst of some "lovetime", I started bawling my eyes out. I am getting fat again..and I am terrified! I see lumps and bumps everywhere...not the good ones. Just 3 months ago, people were commenting that I wasnt looking so good, too gaunt and skraal (afrikaans for skinny), but I didnt care..I loved it. And now... I am petrified of being the fat girl again. I just cant go there again. ***** Shirley,hope your H is helping out.
I guess I have forgiven my h but mainly I look at my marriage as a gooey pie. He cut out a piece of pie (the affair) but over time, the gooey stuff filled that space in. For me, it is almost like the affair never happened.
I have to say that when my h was cought, he denied and denied but unknown to me he stopped seeing her. He communicated with her about my suspicions but no more hugs, meetings etc. A month or so later he told me the whole story. But he was not of the mind to make it up to me. We had seperated when I was suspicious and he was undecided if he wanted us back, have her or be single. How he explains his actions for the next 2 mos. are impossible for me to understand b/c when he looks back he says that he was just confused, depressed and really never considered being with her.
He then got a phone card a year into our R. When I found it a good 6 mos. after he bought it, he had used very little time but.... And he immediately admitted to calling some of his sluts who he "met" online.
I am telling you all this b/c we are now fully R even after a very rocky start. I also want you to know that R is usually not a smooth curve up. I accepted the slips as long as he was not seeing her and as long as the slips were not way too serious and as long as he admitted what he had done and as long as he was making progress.
I kept the goal and big picture in mind which helped me better cope with the slides backwards.
He did it, he didn't confess until caught, he lied about everything from how long to how many and still continues to do so. I've said it before and I'll say it again...
I can't forgive until I know what I'm forgiving.
I don't want to live in the land of "well, it's ok, he didn't mean it, he won't do it again, I'm just over-reacting" ever again.
So what am I doing... I'm waiting and pacing wondering if something good is going to come out of this or find out my love and marriage died when he walked himself into the first "parlor".
Asshat is on his way home,it's raining. Well, it could have been worse, we could have got that snow and he would have been home all day.
Asshat is on his way home
"it's not me, it's asshat/coward/dickweed" whatever. I can't even type my favorite curse towards him. But it has to do with the "ladies" he "slept with".
Weepy, I just hurt for you. I hope this dont-care-about-asshat phase lasts awhile, so he cant hurt you.
Fnf, I never did get to ask you...how did you and H finally resolve the Christmas present issue? Would it make a difference now if he bought you something now...or will he be making a better BIGGER effort for the next ocassion?
Forgiveness vs settling. Whew. Wow, I am nowhere near both. Like weepy and H, infidelity was discussed quite thoroughly before the M, and throughout at diff stages. All the time, he was cheating...dont I look like the biggest fool? I truly wonder sometimes how he must have felt during those speeches he gave me about how he would never cheat, and that he would rather leave the M before selling himself out like that...and he was cheating all that time? DId he laugh at me,or felt superior that he was pulling one over me? Shitface.
Or how did he feel when his blameshifting after dday#1 led me to the A&E after my S attempt. How would he have felt if I had died not even knowing that the whole M was a sham...and it hadnt even been my fault like he made it out to be. Fuck. This line of thinking just sends me down, so I am going to sign off now.
Am SOOO excited about tomorrow! Meeting a LTA sister IRL!!! So am going to think only positive thoughts.
Goodnight all.
G'night FSA and Zanny.
LH, How exciting to meet up IRL with an LTA sister! Have fun!
I'm too pooped to respond to much more. But know I am thinking of each one of you, especiallly the newbies who are struggling right now.
And just because you forgive does not mean you have to stay in your marriage. It isn't about that. It's about letting go of the past that cannot be changed. It's about giving up the hope that the past will ever be different.
Even if you don't stay married--forgiveness is a gift to yourself. You can still forgive and decide that you don't want to be married to someone who is capable of doing this. And if you do stay, holding onto the pain from this may definately make your wayward spouse miserable (if you're looking to make him/her "pay"), but in doing so...you'll hurt yourself ten TIMES what they will ever hurt. You'll become bitter inside, and you'll never be happy with our without them.
Is it worth that? Are you going to let this rob you of the rest of your life?
If you think the grass is greener on the other side, it's because it's fertilized with bullshit.
The best protection a woman can have is courage.~Elizabeth Cady Stanton

"The Edmonton Oilers are so proud to select, from the Red Deer Rebels, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins."
With that, Oilers GM Steve Tambellini kicked off the first round of selections at the 2011 NHL Entry Draft from the Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul, Minnesota.
The Colorado Avalanche used the second selection to draft Gabriel Landeskog of the Kitchener Rangers while the Florida Panthers took Saint John Sea Dogs centre Jonathan Huberdeau with the third pick.
The Draft opened with a touching tribute to E.J. McGuire, the late director of NHL Central Scouting. McGuire's wife and two daughters joined NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman on stage to officially open the draft and announce that Edmonton was up with the first pick.
Bettman also gave a welcome back to the new Winnipeg franchise. The Winnipeg team drew the largest roar from the crowd when they officially announced that the Jets moniker would be returning to the city prior to making their inaugural draft pick with the seventh selection.
No one was surprised to hear Nugent-Hopkins' name called with the top pick as he had been the top-rated prospect on nearly every major scouting report heading into the night.
"I had a rough idea but I really didn't know what was going to happen," Nugent-Hopkins said. "I'm just relieved."
The highly-skilled centre had 31 goals and 106 points with the Red Deer Rebels last season. His 75 assists led the WHL and he also netted four goals and 11 points in nine playoff games.
Nugent-Hopkins is the first prospect from the WHL to be selected first overall since defenceman Chris Phillips of the Prince Albert Raiders went to Ottawa in 1996. He was also the first of 16 Canadians and 21 players from the CHL selected on the night.
This was the second straight year that Edmonton held the first pick. Taylor Hall, whom Edmonton chose last year, was on stage with Oilers' management to help pick Nugent-Hopkins and welcome him to the NHL. And Nugent-Hopkins is looking forward to joining Hall and the rest of the Oilers' core of young players.
"Definitely it's going to be great," he said. "I'm going to be able to relate to all the young guys in the system already.
"So just joining a group like that is very exciting for me. I just can't wait to get started."
The Oilers also had the 19th pick which they used to address a need on defence by selecting Oscar Klefbom from Farjestad of the Swedish Elite League.
Landeskog gives the Avalanche a prospect considered to be one of the most NHL-ready in the draft. The Kitchener captain notched 36 goals, 66 points, a plus-27 rating and 61 penalty minutes last season.
The Avalanche also held the 11th pick which they used on Duncan Siemens of the Saskatoon Blades.
The Florida Panthers picked up a gifted scorer in Huberdeau with the third pick. The Memorial Cup MVP led the Sea Dogs with 43 goals, 62 assists, 105 points and a plus-59 rating last season.
"I couldn't ask for anything more this season," Huberdeau said. "I did everything on the ice I had to do and we won everything, so it was great.
"Now it was up to a team to decide and I'm glad Florida took me."
Sweden's Adam Larsson was the first defenceman off the board, selected fourth overall by the New Jersey Devils. The 6-foot-3, 200-pounder moves the puck well and represented his country at the last two World Junior Championships, finishing as the team's highest scoring defender at this year's tournament with one goal and four points.
There were 19 forwards and 11 defencemen taken in the first round while no goalies were selected for the first time since 2009.
The New York Islanders rounded out the top five by selecting Ryan Strome from the Niagara IceDogs. Strome is a gifted playmaker and stickhandler with a knack for scoring highlight-reel goals.
The Ottawa Senators had three first round picks with the sixth, 21st and 24th selections. They used the sixth pick on Mika Zibanejad, a big strong centre who still has room to fill out, from Djurgarden in Sweden.
"Obviously when a team brings you to Ottawa they're interested," Zibanejad said, referring to his recent on-ice workout for the Senators. "I had a feeling, but there were some good players battling for that spot and to go that early is an amazing feeling.
"I'll do everything I can to work hard and make the team."
Zibanejad, the top-rated European forward coming into the Draft, scored 21 points in 26 games in the Swedish Elite League last season.
The Senators used the 21st pick, which they acquired as part of the Mike Fisher deal with Nashville, on right winger Stefan Noesen from the Plymouth Whalers. Noesen had 77 points in the OHL last season.
Ottawa traded two second-round picks to get the 24th choice from Detroit and chose Peterborough left-winger Matt Puempel. Puempel had 34 goals and 69 points in the OHL last season.
Thousands of fans watching the draft from the MTS Centre in Winnipeg erupted when 'Jets' was officially unveiled as the name for the city's new franchise prior to selecting Barrie Colts centre Mark Scheifele with the seventh pick.
Scheifele scored 75 points including 22 goals in 66 games for the Colts last season. He is a talented player but was a bit of a surprise at number seven. He had been projected to be taken anywhere in the 12-15 range.
In an odd bit of symmetry, the last time a Winnipeg team had a first round pick was in 1995 and it was also the seventh overall selection. Shane Doan was the pick.
The Philadelphia Flyers selected Sean Couturier from Drummondville with the eighth pick. The Flyers acquired the pick from Columbus in the Jeff Carter trade on Thursday, and chose the QMJHL's MVP from last season.
The Stanley Cup Champion Bruins then chose defenceman Dougie Hamilton from the Niagara IceDogs. The Minnesota Wild rounded out the top 10 by selecting defenceman Jonas Brodin from Farjestad of the Swedish Elite League.
After Siemens went to the Avalanche, offensive defenceman Ryan Murphy of the Kitchener Rangers was taken by the Carolina Hurricanes.
The next Canadian team to step up to the podium was Calgary at number 13. The Flames selected Sven Bartschi, a left-winger from the Portland Winterhawks. The Swiss-born Bartschi scored 34 goals and 85 points for the Winterhawks last season and impressed scouts with his work ethic.
Dallas was next and chose 6-foot-7 defenceman Jamie Oleksiak out of Northeastern University with the 14th pick.
In one of the night's more touching moments, the New York Rangers paid tribute to Derek Boogaard, who passed away in May, before making the 15th pick. Boogaard's brother Aaron made the pick for the Rangers in honour of Derek. The Rangers chose left-winger J.T. Miller from the US National Development Program.
The Buffalo Sabres chose Finnish right-winger Joel Armia at 16.
The Montreal Canadiens made their first pick at number 17, selecting Saint John defenceman Nathan Beaulieu. Beaulieu notched 12 goals and 45 points to go along with a plus-44 rating in 65 games for the Memorial Cup Champion Sea Dogs. He is a well-rounded defenceman who can provide offence from the blueline.
Mark McNeill of the Prince Albert Raiders was selected by Chicago with the 18th pick while Phoenix drafted Connor Murphy from the US NTDP with the 20th pick.
The Toronto Maple leafs traded up to the 22nd pick, acquiring Anaheim's selection in exchange for one of Toronto's two first round picks (30th) and a second round pick (39th). The Leafs opted for size and strength with the pick, selecting 6-foot-2, 210-pound right-winger Tyler Biggs out of the US NTDP.
The Leafs stayed close to home with their second pick of the first round, choosing defenceman Stuart Percy of the Mississauga St. Michael's Majors 25th overall. Percy had 33 points for the Majors last season and a strong showing at the Memorial Cup.
Smooth skating defenceman Joe Morrow from the Portland Winterhawks went to the Pittsburgh Penguins at 23. The Blackhawks chose Phillip Danault from Victoriaville at 26 and Tampa Bay picked the first Russian of the draft in Vladislav Namestnikov from the London Knights at 27.
The Minnesota Wild made centre Zack Phillips the third member of the Sea Dogs drafted in the first round with the 28th selection.
The Vancouver Canucks were the last Canadian team to pick with the 29th selection. They chose Oshawa Generals left-wing Nicklas Jensen. Being picked at 29th seemed oddly fitting for Jensen as he had 29 goals and 29 assists for the Generals last season.
The Anaheim Ducks capped the first round by selecting Swedish forward Rickard Rakell from the Plymouth Whalers. The Ducks traded down to the final pick in the deal with Toronto.

Emerald Isle Cake Recipe
"THIS CAKE is so simple to make, and it provides the perfect finish for an Irish meal. The glaze adds just the right touch of sweetness, but even more importantly, it features the color of the daygreen, of course!"
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1-3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 cup confectioners' sugar
- 1 to 2 tablespoons milk or Irish whiskey
- Green food coloring, optional
- Slivered almonds, optional
- In a small bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in vanilla. Combine the flour, baking powder and salt; add to the creamed mixture alternately with the milk. Beat until smooth. Spread into a greased 9-in. square baking pan.
- Bake at 350° for 40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center of the cake comes out clean. For glaze, combine confectioners' sugar and milk or whiskey until smooth and fairly thin. If desired, stir in 1 to 2 drops food coloring until blended. Spread glaze over warm cake. Sprinkle with almonds if desired. Yield: 9-12 servings.

I made this exactly as the recipe is written. I used milk for the glaze but not the food coloring. This is a delicious little cake. It is easy to make too. And it did taste even better the next day.
Reviewed Mar. 4, 2009
I didn't use the glaze, but used a few tablespoons of leftover vanilla frosting warmed and drizzled over the cake. Also, I added 1/2 tsp. each cinnamon and nutmeg, and 1/4 tsp. ground cloves to the dry ingredients. My family loved the cake and we ate it while it was still slightly warm. I agree that it tastes even better the next day, especially with the added spices. Next time I'm going to reduce the butter by 2 Tbsp. and substitute applesauce. This is a tasty and inexpensive cake that tops off a weekday dinner beautifully!
Reviewed Jan. 8, 2008
I don't add food coloring to the glaze and use milk instead of the whiskey. My husband doesn't like nuts in or on anything, so I omit them and the cake is still one of our favorites. I also use the cake to make pineapple upside down cake and strawberry shortbread. Unlike lighter textured cakes, it is substantial enough to stand up to the toppings and (we think) tastes even better the next day!

Though few people know what risk managers are, these professionals are essential players responsible for keeping a business on its feet and bringing in profits. Risk management professionals are financial managers that use specific training, skills and experience to identify possible risks that could result in lower cash flow and higher insurance rates for the business. These specialists assess risks and implement plans and strategies to minimize business losses. Lowering loss also lowers the cost of insurance, resulting in greater revenue flow for the business.
Risk managers are found working for a wide variety of business and organizations, though as of late, many are found primarily in the banking and financial sector. Specialists working in these organizations are largely concerned with discovering and eliminating fraudulent activities, which could put the business's reputation and success in jeopardy.
Sokanu matches you to one of over 500 careers by analyzing your personality, interests, and needs in life. Take the free assessment now to see your top career recommendations!
Risk managers perform a number of different job operations, but all with the purpose of minimizing possible risks or losses for the businesses they serve. These losses include property, personnel, or cash flow. Risk managers are responsible for identifying and dealing with any issues that may arise related to insurance or safety, which, if overlooked, could result in litigation.
In order to accomplish the goal of lowering risks, specialists must constantly be thinking about the inner workings of the business, analyzing areas that could pose a risk, and then taking steps to reduce or eliminate those risks.
Assessing and handling risk is conducted in a number of ways. Risk managers can be found inspecting work conditions, reading code and legal requirements, surveying clients, and searching for any conditions where liability could occur. In order to discover possible risk, these specialists must also have the ability to set up various scenarios and decide which ones could prove to be a risk to the company's assets - both human and otherwise.
Once risks are discovered, it is the responsibility of the specialist to compile data and information into streamlined reports with graphs and statistics to support findings. These reports are then presented to leadership within the company. In addition to presenting risk reports, the risk management professional is required to develop plans or policies that will reduce, avoid, or eliminate liabilities and losses within the company. Risk management professionals are then responsible for the implementation and enforcement of the plans and policies developed. These plans may include a number of different strategies such as the release or movement of employees who pose a problem, development of safety and work regulations, and updating of different procedures based on the latest laws and legislation.
Due to the nature of the job, risk managers may be called on to do everything from filing workers comp claims to negotiating with unions over workers' pay and working conditions. Many risk managers are also found in the finance department analyzing reports and cash flow information to ensure no fraudulent activities are taking place.
A career in risk management requires extensive training and education and is not considered an entry-level job. Typically, risk management professionals have a minimum of a bachelor's degree in business, administration, finance, or other related field. Many in the risk management field actually have a master's degree as well, which serves as an asset in their profession. Companies often require a minimum of five to seven years of experience in an insurance or legal office that deals with legal claims.
Throughout their careers, risk management professionals will have to attend trainings and developmental classes to say abreast of current issues and latest practices, keeping them relevant in the field.
Risk managers must have the ability to develop and organize plans of action, be willing and ready to consult with employees, clients, and other stakeholders to discover and devise scenarios that could pose risks to a company. In order to accomplish this, solid organization, communication, and management skills are a must. Additionally, risk management requires mathematical, analytical, and critical thinking skills.
Risk managers must be interested in personal development, as they must keep themselves knowledgeable about current legislation that could potentially impact the organization in which they are working.
Overall, risk management is a highly specialized field requiring experienced and well-seasoned professionals. The job holds a great deal of intrinsic value as it is directly linked to the success of a business. However, it does rank relatively high in terms or stress and expertise needed.
Generally, risk managers work in a designated location or office within a business set of offices, often near human resources. Generally, all insurance and claims run through the risk management office. Aside from the office, a risk manager's workplace is also in the field. This includes showing up at job sites to assess possible risks, presenting information in conference rooms, and going out into the community to survey clients and other stakeholders.
According to www.simplyhired.com, those in the risk management field have a beginning salary of $60,000. However, some reports show risk managers receiving salaries as high as $200,000 per annum. The amount of pay a specialist receives is largely dependent upon the size of the business, level of experience, and job requirements.

MongoDB Full Text Search - Finally!
Yesterday we released the latest unstable version of MongoDB; the headline feature is basic full-text search. You can read all about MongoDB's full text search in the release notes.
This blog had been using a really terrible method for search, involving regular expressions, a full collection scan for every search, and no ranking of results by relevance. I wanted to replace all that cruft with MongoDB's full-text search ASAP. Here's what I did.
Plain TextMy blog is written in Markdown and displayed as HTML. What I want to
actually search is the posts' plain text, so I customized Python's
standard HTMLParser
to strip tags from the HTML:
import re
from HTMLParser import HTMLParser
whitespace = re.compile('\s+')
class HTMLStripTags(HTMLParser):
"""Strip tags
def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
HTMLParser.__init__(self, *args, **kwargs)
self.out = ""
def handle_data(self, data):
self.out += data
def handle_entityref(self, name):
self.out += '&%s;' % name
def handle_charref(self, name):
return self.handle_entityref('#' + name)
def value(self):
# Collapse whitespace
return whitespace.sub(' ', self.out).strip()
def plain(html):
parser = HTMLStripTags()
return parser.value()
The output is imperfect—it adds extra spaces around punctuation and generally creates a small mess—but it's not meant to be published in the New Yorker, it's meant to be indexed.
I wrote a script that runs through all my existing posts, extracts the plain text, and stores it in a new field on each document called plain
. I also updated my blog's code so it now creates the plain
field on each post whenever I save a post.
I installed MongoDB 2.3.2 and started it with this command line option:
--setParameter textSearchEnabled=true
Without that option, creating a text index causes a server error, "text search not enabled".
Next I created a text index on posts' titles, category names, tags, and the plain text that I generated above. I can set different relevance weights for each field. The title contributes most to a post's relevance score, followed by categories and tags, and finally the text. In Python, the index declaration looks like:
('title', 'text'),
('categories.name', 'text'),
('tags', 'text'), ('plain', 'text')
'title': 10,
'categories.name': 5,
'tags': 5,
'plain': 1
Note that you'll need to install PyMongo from the current master in GitHub or wait for PyMongo 2.4.2 in order to create a text index. PyMongo 2.4.1 and earlier throw an exception:
TypeError: second item in each key pair must be ASCENDING, DESCENDING, GEO2D, or GEOHAYSTACK
If you don't want to upgrade PyMongo, just use the mongo shell to create the index:
db.posts.createIndex( { title: 'text', 'categories.name': 'text', tags: 'text', plain: 'text' }, { weights: { title: 10, 'categories.name': 5, tags: 5, plain: 1 } } )Searching the Index
To use the text index I can't do a normal find
, I have to run the text
command. In my async driver Motor, this looks like:
response = yield motor.Op(self.db.command, 'text', 'posts',
filter={'status': 'publish', 'type': 'post'},
'display': False,
'original': False,
'plain': False
The q
variable is whatever you typed into the search box
on the left, like "mongo" or "hamster" or "python's thread locals are
weird". The filter
option ensures only published posts are returned, and the projection
avoids returning large unneeded fields. Results are sorted with the
most relevant first, and the limit is applied after the sort.
Simple, right? The new text index provides a simple, fully consistent way to do basic search without deploying any extra services. Go read up about it in the release notes.

Nice article, we used Elastic Search for free text searching, it was easy to setup and a nightmare to code with.
Now that MongoDB 2.4 has a beta Text Search feature, I like you feel it could simplify out overall architecture and code base.
I've written a short how to use MongoDB Free Text Search blog post, it has instructions on how to get setup, code example and overview of some of the current limitations.
I thought it might come in handy getting some developers started.

I am always searching online for articles that can help me. There is obviously a lot to know about this. I think you made some good points in Features also. Keep working, great job!شركة تنظيف بالرياض شركة مكافحة حشرات بالرياض

Protein involved in the processing of the primary rRNA transcript to yield a functional rRNA. This includes the cleavage and other modifications.
Proteins conjugated with ribonucleic acid (RNA). Ribonucleoprotein are involved in a wide range of cellular processes. Besides ribosomes, in eukaryotic cells both initial RNA transcripts in the nucleus (hnRNA) and cytoplasmic mRNAs exist as complexes with specific sets of proteins. Processing (splicing) of the former is carried out by small nuclear RNPs (snRNPs). Other examples are the signal recognition particle responsible for targetting proteins to endoplasmic reticulum and a complex involved in termination of transcription.
A reference proteome is a set of protein sequences derived from a complete proteome which constitutes a defined standard for a particular user community. Reference proteomes are manually defined according to a number of criteria. They cover the proteomes of well- studied model organisms and other proteomes of interest for biomedical and biotechnological research. Reference proteomes have been selected to provide broad coverage of the tree of life, and constitute a representative cross-section of the taxonomic diversity to be found within UniProtKB.
