We've all heard it..."You need to work smart not hard." I know when I was selling cars that's what my managers preached to me. I don't remember if any of them actually defined what that meant or how to execute it in real time though.
Views: 27
Agreed 110% Scott! I've come to the conclusion that most salespeople take the path of least resistance. Waiting on the "up bus" is easier than cultivating a pipeline of higher close ratio people, higher gross deals, better CSI scores, and happier service customers. Not to mention the fact that they refer all their friends & relatives.
It has never been a secret that our closing ratio on referrals, be-backs, bird dogs, and son are always a lot higher then fresh ups. It has always puzzled me why a sales person would want to fight over few ups with 15 to 20 other sales people then work their pipe line. I personally educate my sales staff because they do not like training. Now I know there is no difference but they think so. Remember, a persons perception is their reality know matter how distorded it is. What I'm getting at is we as leaders need to find ways to grow our sales staff to make them 20 plus cars a month people. Sales people do not like training but have no problem being educated. As a manager if your sales staff sucks you need to look in the mirror, they are a direct reflection of you.

I am not too sure this will make a big difference at this point in the season. However I would be in favour of moving Paul George to the bench at SF and moving Dhantay Jones to the starting line-up at SG. Let Lance play more minutes at SG or maybe PG with the second unit. More after the jump.
My reason behind this is that right now PG in my opinion is not as effective I 'd love him to be with the starting line-up. DJ brings experience at SG and I believe probably the same production that we are currently getting from PG at this point. Moving PG to the second unit as the primary scorer I think will make the bench more effective.
Lance playing with the second unit at SG as the secondary offensive weapon, I believe will make the bench more effective also. For those that still believe that Brandon still deserves minutes, then play Lance at PG. However my preference for now is have him at SG with the second unit.
So the starters will be DG, Hibbs, Tyler, DJ and DC. The second unit will be PG, Foster, McRob, Lance and AJ or (not necessarily my favourite ) PG, Foster, McRob, Rush and Lance.
So what do you guys think?

By Brian Entin - email SAVANNAH, GA (WTOC) - Savannah's own Paula Deen is accusing her maid of stealing right in her own home.
Deen's husband, Michael Groover, told police the couple's house keeper, Mary Alice White, stole approximately $100,000 in jewelry and other items. The thefts allegedly happened over a period of about ten months. Groover told police he found White with some of Deen's jewelry.
Some national news outlets reported $10,000 in items were stolen, but WTOC confirmed with Savannah-Chatham Metro Police it was indeed closer to $100,000.
Outside Deen's restaurant The Lady and Sons on Monday night, her fans were surprised anyone would rob the queen of southern cooking.
"I've always loved her because of how generous she is. The theft does surprise me and it's too bad," Beth Driehaus said.
"Who could do that to such a wonderful lady? She is so generous," Karen Minotti said.
Deen fired the housekeeper after learning of the thefts. Police arrested White in May on felony charges.

Guys I have been updating all the policys on our network using a 2008R2 server (This one is only temp, its actually just a standard pc, until we upgrade our server to it)
On the following policys
- Default Domain Policy
- Default Domain Controllers Policy
I found out that that must have the default Unique ID that it comes with
I have found the policies will not delete from GPMC
I have made the new Group policy files to replace them with, but how to I go round replaceing the old ones with the new ones has they will not delete
Has anyone else brothered updating these policies to the new 2008R2 policy settings?
Or am I being silly? Does it upgrade when I connect the first 2008R2 server to the network like I have just done?

Holiday Sales Stink, Guess Whose Policies Aren't To Blame
The AP/Politico just can't find it in themselves to put any blame on the policies of Obama and Democrats
(Politico) U.S. holiday retail sales this year grew at the weakest pace since 2008, when the nation was in a deep recession. In 2012, the shopping season was disrupted by bad weather and consumers' rising uncertainty about the economy.
A report that tracks spending on popular holiday goods, the MasterCard Advisors SpendingPulse, said Tuesday that sales in the two months before Christmas increased 0.7 percent, compared with last year. Many analysts had expected holiday sales to grow 3 to 4 percent.
"Analysts" always seem to expect something big over the past 4 years, and always seem to be surprised when the numbers typically come out low. Anyhow, 4% growth is considered "healthy".
Shoppers were buffeted this year by a string of events that made them less likely to spend: Superstorm Sandy and other bad weather, the distraction of the presidential election and grief about the Dec. 14 massacre of schoolchildren in Newtown, Conn. The numbers also show how Washington's current budget impasse is trickling down to Main Street and unsettling consumers. If Americans remain reluctant to spend, analysts say, economic growth could falter next year.
See? They just can't find it in themselves to put any blame on Obama/Democrats. Now, if Bush was president, we all know he'd be the one to be Blamed. The Stimulus was a failure, along with all the other stimulus spending. $16 trillion plus in debt. Massive deficits. No budget in over 3 years from the Dem controlled Senate. Demonization of business and "rich people". Constant calls for tax increases. Obamacare. A storm of regulations, especially those announced once the election was over. A president unwilling to do anything but negotiate for more taxes and spending. An economy that has been sputtering since the end of the recession in summer 2009. These are the major forces.
Certainly, the Newtown murders and Superstorm Sandy were bad, but they only truly affected the economic activity of a small portion of the US. The presidential election? Please. That has nothing to do with Christmas spending. But, hey, 52% of the country was dumb enough to re-elect Obama, now they can sleep in the bed of economic malaise. Unfortunately, the rest of us have to suffer along.

Isaac Sanchez was holding his 2-year-old nephew and standing on the side of a road when a drunk driver drove off the road and over a lawn before hitting him. His nephew was thrown from his arms but was not hurt, while Sanchez was seriously injured. He only remembers part of the accident.
"Everything happened so fast you know, it was like a flash – the impact, the pain," Sanchez said.
The 20-year-old driver, Valerie Dibble, was underage and had a blood alcohol level of 0.22, more than twice the legal limit of 0.08.
Sanchez sued the Crossroads Sports Bar in Florida, which was located two miles away from the accident, for intentionally serving an underage drinker.
In the trial, the bar claimed Dibble was never in the bar. But a jury didn't buy that argument, and ordered the bar to pay Sanchez $2 million.
Dibble was convicted in a criminal trial of drunken driving and of causing serious bodily injury, and was sentenced to three years of community supervision.

Help with static and stagnation pressure!
by Graviman
Tags: pressure, stagnation, static
|Share this thread:
Nov25-07, 07:45 AM
I am currently very confused about how an altimeter works. I understand that stagnation pressure is the pressure of bringing the flow to rest, and that static pressure is the pressure flowing with the fluid (air in this case). What i don't understand is that the static port is used for altimeter, while pitot tube is used for air speed indicator.
I've always understood that the venturi effect is explained because the total stagnation pressure remains constant, while dynamic pressure changes - thus the static pressure changes. If that is so why doesn't altimeter alter with speed? Alternately what is to stop the static port being put on the wing? Ahhh!
This has come about because of a discussion with some helicopter test pilots about how ground effect reduces hover power. I thought i understood this stuff but i'm coming unstuck. Pan! Pan! Pan!
Nov25-07, 09:32 AM
Sci Advisor
Altimeters are basically barometers. Are you familiar with the operating procedures for an altimeter? An altimeter has to be constantly adjusted for varying pressure changes. That is why altimeters have a hand dial that sets your current location's barometric pressure, i.e. sea level is 29.92. You have to constantly adjust altimeter settings when traveling long distances as well.
The pitot tube uses, essentially, Bernoulli's theorem for calculating air speed. It needs the difference between the local static and stagnation pressures to calculate the airspeed.
Static port location is chosen to eliminate as much of the aircraft influence as possible. This is in an effort to get a pressure measurement as close to the actual surrounding atmosphere as possible. It should be apparent that the static pressure on a wing surface will not be the same as the surrounding atmosphere.
And yes...hover power required decreases in ground effect.

Fred, thanks for the reply. Yes, i am familiar with the use of altimeters - but, only from a pilot's perspective. I appreciate that my question appears as if from someone with no understanding. It is more that i thought this made intuitive sense to me, but now have my doubts.
My confusion comes from how the static port is located. The ideal position is that it is in a position where local velocity is that of the free stream. On a fixed wing fuselage this is on the flatest portion possible. So my understanding is that if the local velocity is higher, such as it would be on a wing, then the altimeter would read high (ie pressure low). So this means that on a helicopter the altimeter only gives the right reading when the rotor downwash is not passing the static - such as in forward flight. Again it will read altitude high, pressure low, in the hover.
Perhaps i understand this better than i thought. Let me explain the reason for my doubt:
The engineering understanding of why ground effect reduces power is that the downwash wake contraction is reduced, and in fact becomes wake expansion near enough to the ground. The wake expansion results in lower flow velocities, hence a lower rotor induced power (pitch, torque, etc). The pilot understanding is that the helicopter near the ground builds up a region of increased static pressure, which increases the rotor thrust for a given power.
I used the analogy of putting an altimeter under the hovering helicopter, but even as i reasoned i began to doubt my own words. I can't believe that for incompressible flow (ignoring tip speed effects) that the static pressure would be different anywhere in the flow field. The altimeter at the stagnation point at hover centre ground level should read unchanged from when the helicopter was not there. Anywhere else and the flow field would cause it to read altitude high, pressure low.
Any thoughts?

Help with static and stagnation pressure!
Hi Graviman,
I think where you're getting confused is in thinking that - stagnation pressure is dependant on how fast air is going across some port whose axis is perpendicular to the direction of air flow (ie: this is incorrect).
Here's a nice picture of a typical pitot tube we can use as an example:
The pitot tube is a combination of two tubes taking two different pressure measurements as seen in this picture. Those two tubes are labeled (a) Pitot tube and (b) Static tube. The static tube has air flow perpendicular to the axis of the holes in the side of the tube. This is actually measuring 'stagnation pressure' of the air, which can also be thought of as the air pressure which would be read if there were no air flow whatsoever.
As pointed out by Fred, this stagnation pressure measurement must be placed where there is the least influence (ie: turbulance) from the aircraft as possible.
The same thing holds for the altimiter, which is going to be a port where there will be a flow of air which is perpendicular to the opening such that the pressure measured would be the same pressure measured if the aircraft were stationary. This is the same as stagnation pressure.
Note also as pointed out by Fred, this pressure must be referenced to some ground pressure so an altimeter must be adjusted periodically to account for this difference.

Fred, i wouldn't take the pressure bubble explanation too seriously. When you transition from hover to forward flight the downwash can roll up to produce a partial vortex which is reingested (similar to vortex ring state). Basically you need to briefly raise the collective before forward inflow reduces power again. Pilots are taught that this is the helicopter flying off the pressure bubble, but as an engineer i'm trying to develop a better understanding. I'll keep an eye out for those chook static ports.
QG, i think i might need a bernoulli equation 101 lesson. A thin film of oxide has developed over my understanding. Looking at wikipedia:
Stagnation (Total) Pressure = Dynamic Pressure + Static Pressure
Pstagnation = 1/2 Rho V^2 + Pstatic
Now i'm puzzled here, since i though that the pitot measured stagnation pressure, while static port measured static pressure. The difference between the two gives you dynamic pressure, which thus gives you airspeed? Part of my confusion is that from the venturi effect the stagnation pressure remains constant, so that the static pressure alters.
It sounds like i'm in need of zinc chromate...
Nov27-07, 09:23 AM
OK, i think i have found what i am looking for on this site:
Consider the following line of reasoning:
The airplane's altimeter operates by measuring the pressure at the static port. The static port is oriented sideways to the airflow, at a point where the air flows past with a local velocity just equal to the free-stream velocity.
In accordance with Bernoulli's principle, this velocity must be associated with a "lower" pressure there.
You might think this lower pressure would cause huge errors in the altimeter, depending on airspeed. In fact, though, there are no such errors. The question is, why not?
The answer has to do with the notion of "lower" pressure. You have to ask, lower than what? Indeed the pressure there is 1 Q lower than the mechanical energy (per unit volume) of the air. However, in your reference frame, the mechanical energy of the air is 1 Atm + 1 Q. When we subtract 1 Q from that, we see that the pressure in the static port is just equal to atmospheric. Therefore the altimeter gets the right answer, independent of airspeed.
Another way of saying it is that the air near the static port has 1 Atm of potential energy (pressure) and 1 Q of kinetic energy. The altimeter is sensitive only to pressure, so it reads 1 Atm — as it should.
In contrast, the air in the Pitot tube has the same mechanical energy, 1 Atm + 1 Q, but it is all in the form of potential energy since (in your reference frame) it has no kinetic energy.
The mechanical energy per unit volume is officially called the stagnation pressure, since it is the pressure that you observe in the Pitot tube or any other place where the air is stagnant, i.e. where the local velocity v is zero (relative to the airplane).
In ordinary language "static" and "stagnant" mean almost the same thing, but in aerodynamics they designate two very different concepts. The static pressure is the pressure you would measure in the reference frame of the air, for instance if you were in a balloon comoving with the free stream. As you increase your airspeed, the stagnation pressure goes up, but the static pressure does not.
Also: we can contrast this with what happens in a carburetor. There is no change of reference frames, so the mechanical energy (per unit volume) remains 1 Atm. The high-speed air in the throat of the Venturi has a pressure below the ambient atmospheric pressure.

I have very risky proposition about 2013 free agency. Let's say the Nets can somehow convince a bad team to take JJ's bad contract in a trade with the Bobcats for example who are desperate for talent and we trade JJ for a a bag of balls. What would you say about going all in for CP3 in free agency and put him at starting guard next to DWill. I bet we would have a very high chance of getting him too, because he is very good friend of Deron Williams. I realize Paul would be playing out of position and would be undersized at SG, but would you still flip the coin and hope it comes up heads and that DWILL and CP3 could coexist? Let me explain my reasoning for signing CP3 besides helping the team improve.
The Benefit: Getting CP3 does more than just help our team on the court. It would help the Nets mightily in the trade market for other positions. If you sign CP3 in free agency, you can trade him within a few years and see if you can get an upgrade at PF over Humphries or a SF who is a star. Because guys let's face it, this is the only way I can see us executing a trade that gm's will be giving to give up a good player at PF or SF for a PG that fills a tough position. I know people think Josh Smith, but honestly we can do a little better than him.To me it's a win win, because let's face it, even if we did strike out getting CP3 after we traded JJ, you mean to tell me Marshon Brooks can't be better than JJ? To me it's worth it even if CP3 and DWILL can't coexist on the same team and it hurts the Nets defensively, because someone will give up a good player for CP3 in a trade in the end. Again I'm not necessarily advising we should do this, but it's something I'm throwing out there.

CATEGORIES Drama, Independent, Theatrical Reviews, Festival Reports, Toronto International Film Festival, Cinematical Indie, Toronto Film Festival, Reviews, CinematicalDuring the final scene of Shane Meadows' This Is England, I heard someone in the audience let out a violent, wrenching sob. The scene itself is actually quite lovely -- a young boy is standing in a field of green sea grass next to a rowboat, long-ago stranded by the tide; he's holding the St. George's Cross, the flag of England -- but it's infused with an almost inconceivable suffering and pain. Like most of Meadows' impressively accomplished film, the closing combines lush beauty -- the colors and compositions are often breathtaking -- with an incredible emotional punch, breaking our hearts with the inevitable tragedy of what we're seeing on screen.
Originally based on his own childhood, Meadows' screenplay underwent a metamorphosis after he met Thomas Turgoose, his young star. Combining his own childhood experiences with what Turgoose was going through nearly a quarter-century later, he revised his script and ended up with a heartfelt, tragic story of a boy desperate to belong. Set in the England of 1983, the movie is centered on Shaun, a 12-year-old boy whose father was recently killed in the Falkland Islands War. His pain over the loss of his dad is distancing him from his well-intentioned mother, and he doesn't fit in with the kids at school, all of whom are divided into distinct camps of fashion and ideology. Clad in bell-bottomed corduroys and a knitted sweater decorated with what look like squirrels, Shaun sticks out like a sore thumb. His inner agony gives him a hair trigger, and his explosive reactions immediately make him a target for the bullies at school -- they know they'll get a response, so they can hardly wait to wind him up.
Leaving school in misery after a horrible last day of term, Shaun stumbles upon a group of skinheads near his home. Though they try their hardest to look and act like hard men, they're really just kids themselves, and Shaun's misery earns him the pity of Woody (Joseph Gilgun), the group's eager, charismatic leader. Persuading the boy to sit with them for five minutes, Woody immediately charms Shaun by simply paying him a bit of attention and making him laugh. Despite the frustration of Gadget (Andrew Ellis), the group's designated whipping-boy, at the addition of a child whose status is above his own, Shaun quickly becomes part of the gang, complete with shaved head, rolled-up jeans and Doc Martens boots.
At first, Shaun's new life a great one. He's truly loved -- there's tremendous physical affection in Woody's gang, and no one is ashamed of giving the boy a hug, or rubbing his head when he's pleased them -- and the people around him seem to be entirely without the traits our casual assumptions often associate with skinheads, like violence and racism (indeed, one of their members, Milky, is Jamaican). Instead, the gang hangs together in search of the same things they're offering Shaun: Affection, comfort and family. The idyllic scene is thrown asunder, though, when Woody's old mentor Combo (Stephen Graham) gets out of prison and rejoins his old mates. In the three-and-a-half years they've been apart, Combo has adopted more stereotypical skinhead beliefs, primary among them a virulent racism disguised as an innocent opposition to those who arrive in the country and take jobs from "true Englishmen". Explaining his views in an impassioned, semi-impromptu speech, Combo wins over most of the men in Woody's gang -- as well as Shaun.
Apart from its sharp screenplay, This is England derives its power from a pair of extraordinary performances. As Shaun, Turgoose is all loss, ego and cocky desperation. His tiny, pinched mouth and close together eyes give his face a strikingly urgent expression, and despite appearing on film for the first time here, he's remarkably effective at conveying the wide range of emotions Shaun experiences. Opposite Turgoose is a deeply impressive Stephen Graham. As Combo, he calls to mind the young Russell Crowe in Romper Stomper, offering a similar charm, wrought with as much of sincerity as natural charisma, and possessed by the same barely contained desperation to be part of something important.
That Combo is committed to the loosely defined skinhead cause is never in doubt, but it's clearly not enough for him. He's being torn apart by conflicting emotions -- desire, fear, jealousy -- and has no idea how to handle his confusion. He can't show weakness before his "troops", and has no one else in the world he can talk to. As a result, Combo is trapped inside his own head, and from the moment we meet him we know violence -- his only form of expression and release -- is inevitable. When that explosion finally comes, it's undeniably bloody and horrific. But it's also tragic and useless, and the tears in Combo's eyes are as heartbreaking as those in Shaun's.

Alan Haley—The Supreme Court Denies Review in Two Episcopal Church Property Cases
The list of orders from their June 14 conference is now online, and it shows that less than four of the Supreme Court's Justices were interested in reviewing the two petitions from parishes who lost their properties in the courts below. It takes a vote of at least four Justices to grant review, and the two cases (the Timberridge case from Georgia, No. 11-1101, and the Bishop Seabury case from Connecticut, No. 11-1139) are shown as having review denied. (The latter case appears on p. 6 of the orders list, because it also required a ruling on a pending motion to allow the amicus brief by St. James Newport Beach, et al., to be filed.)

But he gets back up and does it again! Hilarious video!
I feel for this cat! Sometimes looking at the Snake Illusions is hard to figure out! Great video!
Have you ever wondered what a cat sounds like when it meows underwater? Probably not but, admit it, you're curious now.
This cat and Mario are about as in sync with each other as you can get. Whenever Mario jumps on Super Mario Bros., the cat jumps, too.
The guys over at Fat Awesome Filmsmade this fun clip to show what it might be like if your two best friends had a dog and a cat for personalities.
Plain and simple, if I had this cat and he did something like and was so nonchalant about it, I'd find another home for him.
Don't pretend that you've never been here before.
The cat is a complete and total a-hole!

I didn't really thing I was even considering posting this video. Just what the internet needs is another video about a cat narrirated by a guy who's trying to be funny since it's obvious that he can't sing. But this one sucks the least of those kinds of video. And, yeah, it's actually kind of funny.

By Staff Reports (Columbus, GA) Judge Clay Land is granting one defendant in a federal whistle blower lawsuit more time to respond to the stunning allegations.
The lawsuit filed by Richard Barker, the top administrator of the John Amos Cancer Center names six defendants and alleges the group knowingly over billed government insurers to the tune of millions of dollars.
The lawsuit also alleges Columbus Regional Healthcare paid an inflated price for the Tidwell Cancer Center in exchange for patient referrals and Dr. Tidwell was added to the lawsuit. Tidwell is the only individual physician shown as a defendant.
Tidwell petitioned the court for an extension after hiring a new legal defense team, which the Judge granted. Tidwell now has until August 19th to respond to the lawsuit. The other defendants..Columbus Regional Healthcare, the Medical Center, the John Amos Cancer Center and Columbus Oncology have until the end of the month to file a formal response.

Civil society NGOs under threat, says Access
Attacks on the freedom-of-speech community worldwide seemed to grow in 2011, according to umbrella organization Access. The group, whose members include civil society NGOs around the world, says the security and "cyber warfare" skills available to activists don't match the skills available to their attackers – whether they are …
NGOs at risk...
.. are often put there by their accepting the support/funding of foreign national governments whose motives are, shall we say, less than altruistic. Sad but true.
Some NGOs
do themselves no favours. Like Privacy International & Simon Davies/Gos Hosein and their commercial firtation with Phorm.
Sad to find that even the accessnow has third party content sourced from Google, Youtube, and Amazon AWS.
Puzzled by this
Either your mission as a NGO includes the need for a pervasive web presence or it doesnt.
Once you decided on that then you have the grounds for a cost/benefit analysis to pay to develop the robust presence your mission deserves or to allocate funds to another area of concern.
Regardless of an NGO's function they have to operate in a business-like manner to ensure they exist long enough to do some good. This applies not just to their internet presence but to everything they do.
Beggaring yourself to help your needy cause over the short term just doesnt make sense no matter how much compassion and empathy urges you to do so.

Mike Price hired former UNLV defensive line coach to become UTEP's newest defensive coordinator. Miner Rush caught up with Coach Patterson after UTEP's first spring scrimmage.
UTEP Spring Preview: The Wide Receivers. The Miners lost some key contributors from last year's potent passing attack. Who's got next? Who did the Miners sign at the WR spot?
Excerpt: "The final weekend of his suspension also marked surgery on his throwing shoulder, a "minor procedure" that will have him out six weeks and thus ended his spring without a pass."
The Miners completed their first spring scrimmage last Friday. Miner Rush caught up with Doak Walker semi-finalist Donald Buckram, Braxton Amy, and tight end Jonny Moore after the game.
The 2010 UTEP Miners return starter Jonny Moore and veteran Elijah Goldtrap at the tight end position. Both are seniors, so who do the Miners have waiting in the wings?
Expect more positional previews to roll out this week. Early Enrollees Bloomquist reports that two members of UTEP's 2010 recruiting class have enrolled for spring classes: DL Quinten Jones and...
The following Miner players are out for spring ball due to injury -- senior DB Saul Adame, senior TE Geoff Amato, junior RB Vernon Frazier, freshman DL Quentin Jones, sophomore WR Marlon McClure, senior OL Will Osolinsky, freshman TE Kevin Perry, sophomore DL Austin Shaffer and senior QB/WR James Thomas II.

Roles and Responsibilities
Over the last 14 years in information technology and security, Eric Ahlm has gained a broad prospective on challenges that face vendors and end users alike. During the course of his career, Mr. Ahlm has advised both Fortune 500 and SMB clients on global security projects, run a security research lab studying attack methods and the effectiveness of off-the-shelf technologies designed to stop them, conducted client-engaged ethical hacking services, performed regulatory compliance gap analysis consulting, created and delivered professional and managed security service offerings, and been actively engaged in the public forum to discuss findings and experiences. Through this journey, Mr. Ahlm has gained a deep understanding of client-facing security issues and how vendors can best position to solve these issues, gaining them market share. He has seen the industry through several different vantage points and advised a broad range of influencers through his work as a security consultant, strategic advisor, security vendor, channel manager, professional and managed services product manager, and ethical hacker. This has allowed him to advise such roles as client-side security executives, line-of-business management, investors, vendor product marketing, audit and compliance teams, service product marketing and general IT executive management in such key vertical markets as healthcare, retail, banking and finance, manufacturing, hospitality, services, and energy industries.
Previous Experience
At Cisco, Mr. Ahlm's primary responsibly was to advise its key customers on security technologies and best approach to solving common security challenges. What Cisco added to his vantage point was the need to work with broader decision makers outside of security in projects where security was not the primary goal. This helped him gain insights into other relevant technologies, such as data center virtualization, rich media extension, Web-based collaboration tools, and cloud-based offerings where the underlying question was, "What is the security risk of adoption to this new method of doing business?" Vigilar offered up numerous opportunities for security experience. One of the key responsibilities that Mr. Ahlm held was director of emerging technologies. His key role was to understand the latest attacks and hacking methods, then evaluate Vigilar's vendor partner list of over 100 manufacturers as to how well their technologies ranked against their competitors, the customer needs, and the current threat landscape. This experience gave him a deep understanding of how vendor products can best position for customer adoption.

The most important feature of our microblower is its piezoelectric ceramic based drive system that allows for an extremely compact and thin unit. Using ultrasonic vibration of the piezoelectric ceramic material, the blower functions as an air pump discharging high pressure air from the unit.
While the microblower is much smaller than common air blowing devices, with dimensions of 20 mm by 20 mm and a height of 1.85 mm (excluding the nozzle), it is capable of significant air discharges: 1,900 Pa (maximum static pressure at 15V p-p) and 1 liter per minute (at 15 V p-p and under 100 Pa back pressure). The microblower also offers lower power consumption than more common air-cooling devices, due to it ceramic based drive system.
The product can be provided to the following specifications.
|Typical characteristics (@25°C)
|Drive frequency
|about 26KHz
|Air flow
|1L/min (@15Vpp)
|Static pressure
|1900Pa (@15Vpp) Outer dimensions (not including the nozzle)
|Outer dimensions (not including the nozzle)
|20 x 20 x 1.85 mm (standard nozzle height 1.6 mm)
|Outer wiring
|No wiring (Soldering or direct contact is recommended)
High speed air creates cooling air circulation around the device.

4 miles easy (recovery run). Beautiful day for it. Too bad this season is so short...
Mostly just running around 9:30 pace, but with some stretches of 9:05-9:10 to try and get a feel for that (aspirational) marathon pace. I think it is realistic - my HR was still only in the upper 140s after four miles.
I am still full of regret that I could not have a higher-mileage plan this time round, but I guess I know it was for the best! PATIENCE!
Week 13 total: 32 miles

I think for some a higher mileage program just puts them at more risk for injury. There's always time to do things differently next time around after you are confident you can handle a lower mileage program with no problems.
Keep up the good work!

It's one step closer for those looking to get a concealed carry permit in Illinois. As of Sunday, the Illinois State Police has certified nine instructors in Adams County.
Click here to see all instructors certified in Illinois.
Those looking to get a concealed carry permit like John Gibson are taking the first step by familiarizing themselves with their handgun. Gibson said this is something everyone should consider.
"I just think it would be safer for everybody. If the criminals knew you were carrying a gun for the simple reason that they would be scared. With all the violence going on around the world, you know things are changing and people have the right to protect themselves," he said.
Even though Illinois Concealed Carry Instructor Matt Courtney's curriculum is not yet approved, he said if you want to get a permit quickly, you would want to take the NRA basic pistol shooting course now.
"Whereas if you get it out of the way now, you get on a waiting list. You get yourself to the head of the line when we do start that second 8-hour curriculum," he said.
Courtney's confident the NRA basic pistol shooting course will count towards the first 8 hours because he says Illinois guidelines are very similar but it's not a guarantee. He's sure there will be a lot of people signing up to get their permit as soon as they can.
"Illinois waited a long time for this to happen and now that it's here. It's not a cheap thing but there's a huge interest in it," he said.
Courtney said the next step is for the Illinois State Police to approve his curriculum. He said that could take anywhere from about a month until January of 2014.

Another Strong Brazilian Country Quota Test
MARSEILLE, FRANCE, July 14, 2004 - Some of the best Beach Volleyball on the 2004 SWATCH-FIVB World Tour is played prior to the start of the "money" rounds, and here Wednesday morning, the Brazilian country quota playoffs featured three teams with podium finishers this season.
The advancing team from the three-way Brazilian playoff in the 11th annual World Series 13 event was Franco Neto and Tande Ramos, who had the "good" fortunate of playing the winner of the match between Pedro Cunha/Pará Ferreira and Fabio de Jesus Magalhães/Paulo Emilio Silva.
Cunha and Pará, who won the FIVB Puerto Rico stop last month, scored a 24-22 and 21-16 win over Magalhães and Paulo Emilio, who placed third last week in Mallorca while Franco and Tande took a weekend off after winning the bronze medal two weeks ago in Norway.
Franco and Tande, the top-seeded tandem in the 27-team Qualification Tournament, advanced to Wednesday afternoon's elimination bracket by ousting Cunha and Pará 21-16 and 21-18. Franco and Tande won the South African Open earlier this season when they upset the world's top-ranked team of Emanuel Rego and Ricardo Santos in the All-Brazilian Cape Town finale.
Wednesday's country quota playoffs also featured two matches to determine France's final two spot in the elimination bracket of the qualifier. While 22nd-seeded Laurent Musnier/Stephane Vukajlovic and 23rd-seeded Aime-Julien Montal/Thomas Lambise had country quota byes, the French tandems of 26th-seeded Loivier Conte/Benoit Uguet and 27th-seeded Sebastien Huchard/Denis Damez won their preliminary matches Wednesday morning to advance to the elimination rounds.
Host France has already placed three teams in the 32-team Main Draw, including Stephane Canet and Mathieu Hamel, who have secured a provisional berth for the 2004 Athens Olympic Games. Other teams from France in the Main Draw are Kevin Cès/Yannick Salvetti and Ogier Molinier/Guilherm Deulofeu.
Canet and Hamel secured their provisional spot for the Olympics by placing ninth in the Berlin Grand Slam event three weeks ago. The French upset the Swiss Laciga brothers (22-24, 21-18 and 15-12) and Americans Eric Fonoimoana/Kevin Wong (9-21, 21-16 and 15-13) in Germany to improve their Olympic point total to 1,056.
Due to injuries the last two weeks, Canet and Hamel have placed 17th and 25th in Norway and Mallorca, respectively, to finish the Olympic qualifying process as the 20th-ranked team for their best eight finishes on the SWATCH-FIVB World Tour since January 2003.
The fifth of five-straight mixed gender events, the World Series 13 will start the men's Main Draw Thursday with the finals Sunday. The winning team shares the $41,500 first-place prize. The women's Main Draw started Wednesday and also concludes Sunday.

Taken on the set of the 1971 hit movie Frenchie King, this stunning shot of Brigitte Bardot went on to become the most famous and best selling photo of the actress to date. As the story goes, it was captured by well known photographer Terry O'Neill on his very last frame. Just as he was positioning for the shot, the wind surreptitiously blew and snap! History was made.

Former Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Welterweight Champion Matt Serra announced his unexpected retirement from the sport of mixed martial arts (MMA) last week after 14 years in the fight game.
With 17 professional fights under his belt including a short-lived 170-pound title reign, the 38 year-old decided he had enough of the hurt business on the heels of losing three of his last four bouts.
And while he would have liked to have at least one more fight inside the Octagon, Serra says he didn't want to do it just to do it.
Furthermore, the Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt reveals he will miss the "high" a fighter gets after going through a tough battle or after earning a victory. It's the absence of that feeling that Matt believes is the reason why many former fighters turn to drugs in attempts to fill the void.
He explained during his recent appearance on "The MMA Hour:"
"Let me tell you. It was always the plan to do one more at least. But, you don't want to just do it to do it. Like, if I watch UFC and I see something, I'm like, 'Fuck man, I miss that.' The feeling is, like you see all of these guys, well some, not all of these guys, especially like the real warriors man, they stick around a lot of time longer than they should. It's not even about the attention, it's not about that. It's that feeling of fighting in there. It's really something man. That's why I think fighters, you know, post-fighting they turn to drugs and they turn to this and turn to that because they are missing something. They need that high, you know what I mean? It's such a high. Like when you win or have a battle in there, or whatever."
His decision to walk away from the sport seemingly popped out of nowhere, revealing that he never had a timetable for his final decision, saying it was through a casual talk with a friend at Newsday that resulted in the impromptu announcement :
"I was talking to my buddy Mark and he wanted to do a story about how I was feeling and that the word was out about my health. So it started with me and him just bullshitting because I know the guy, and then it turned into kind of like my retirement piece. And it's cool, listen, it's all good because I meant everything I said and, you know, it's not like I set out to do that. It wasn't my mission that day to wake up and say, 'You know what, today I walk away."
Serra recently underwent rib surgery after it was discovered he was suffering form thoracic outlet syndrome -- a "disorder Matt describes as "weird" -- in which his collarbone and his first rib was compressing a vein restricting blood flow to his biceps and other areas of his body.
And while he will likely be remembered most for his upset win over Georges St. Pierre at UFC 69, he leaves behind a bevy of memories and entertaining fights for fans to enjoy for the years to come which includes his bitter rivalry with former 170-pound champ Matt Hughes.
What will you most remember Serra by?
