Former Yanks' head focuses on Dominican prospects
TAMPA, Fla. (AP)
The man who was once heir apparent to run the New York Yankees stood on the suite level at Steinbrenner Field as employees and friends stopped to shake hands and say hello.
These days, Steve Swindal works with players who hope to become Yankees - or Red Sox or Cardinals or anywhere else in the big leagues.
Married to one of George Steinbrenner's daughters, Swindal was a general partner of the team from 1998-06 and chairman of the Yankees' parent company. Steinbrenner designated him as his successor in June 2005.
Everything changed on Feb. 15, 2007, when Swindal was arrested early in the morning for driving under the influence. His wife, Jennifer, filed for divorce the following month, the Yankees bought out his ownership stake that November and George Steinbrenner turned control of the team over to son Hal Steinbrenner not long after.
''I'm always going be pulling for the Yankees,'' Swindal said. ''That's never going to go away.''
Now 57, Swindal found his way back into baseball. He helped launch a youth academy in the Dominican Republic, one that has had 40 prospects sign with major league organizations. In a land where Major League Baseball has expressed concern about shady buscones - combination trainers/scouts/agents/guardians - Swindal's company has been praised for its treatment of teenage prospects.
''It's a strange turn,'' he said. ''Life is going to be full of turns and changes. It's how you deal with it that's important. I had the best 10 years of my life with the Yankees, of my professional life. I don't regret a minute of it.''
He was at the ballpark Sunday for the Yankees' spring training home opener to watch his daughter, aspiring Broadway actress Haley Steinbrenner Swindal, sing the national anthem. His son works for the Yankees, in stadium operations in New York.
Thinner than in his Yankees days, and with a salt-and-pepper goatee, Swindal stood near the elevators on the suite level, wearing a North Carolina cap, for an interview outside the press box doors. Every two minutes someone stopped to say hello and ask how he was doing.
He formed the company, the International Academy of Professional Baseball, in December 2009 with Abel Guerra, the Yankees' former vice president of international operations; and Hans Hertell, the former U.S. ambassador to the Dominican Republic. (Hertell was bought out by the other two this year). In exchange for a percentage of any eventual signing bonus, the academy houses, feeds, schools and trains potential players on a complex in Boca Chica that includes a full field and an infield. The company also rents a house in Panama and uses a field across the street, then sends players to the Dominican complex when they are ready. It also employs a scout in Venezuela.
''Some of these students have never gone to schools or dropped out at the third- or fourth-grade level. We try to give them some life skills,'' Guerra said, describing how they attend night school during the week and Dominican schools on the weekend.
Rafael Perez, MLB's director of Dominican operations, calls it ''the nicest academy of any agent,'' saying it's similar to the complex the Yankees had built right across the street. ''And they produce a lot of players.''
And it is a for-profit operation. Swindal says its revenue varies with how many players sign and the percentage his company gets, but it is less than the buscones charge.
''The question is, at the end of the day is it a long-term business?'' said Omar Minaya, San Diego's senior vice president of baseball operations and former general manager of the Montreal Expos and New York Mets. ''I don't know how successful it will be because there's so much competition for players.''
''Baseball is a business in the Dominican Republic and Venezuela. It's an attractive business because there's a lot of players. If you're going to take that business, you have a responsibility to educate. You hope that's what they're doing, that it is up to the standards of Major League Baseball,'' he said.
The complex can house 100 players and currently has 40 living there, according to Swindal. Guerra anticipates 17-22 contracts after the signing period starts July 2 - the first since baseball's new collective bargaining agreement imposed restraints on signing bonuses for amateur players.
''Hopefully we'll have a couple guys go for a million dollars this year. We're certainly projecting that. With the new CBA, I don't know how it's going to affect it,'' Swindal said. ''I know the talent is always going to be there, and somehow the clubs are going to find a way to get the talent. The country is just so full of baseball heritage and it just starts from birth with young people. it's getting stronger.''
As Swindal spoke, down on the field the Yankees were scoring runs en route to a 7-4 win over Philadelphia. While none of his homegrown players have made it to the majors yet, Swindal said Jose Iglesias of the Boston Red Sox stopped by for about a month after defecting.
Swindal compares these days with his time with the Yankees, when he saw the Yankees' baseball staff develop Derek Jeter and Jorge Posada from prospects to All-Stars.
''Working with young people was always my passion. I couldn't spend enough time with it with the Yankees,'' he said. ''Seeing them being so successful, you feel like an uncle, pulling for them so hard.''
Like George Steinbrenner, Swindal's background is in boats. He is chairman of Marine Towing of Tampa and in December was reappointed a commissioner of the Tampa Port Authority.
But baseball became his passion. Who knows what would have happened if not for the DUI? At the time, Swindal was in charge of the Yankees because his children were older and he could afford to be away from home.
Perhaps Hal Steinbrenner would have wound up running the team, no matter what.
''I don't really think that particular incident was the underlying reason for me not being there,'' Swindal said. ''A lot of different factors happened, part of a perfect-storm situation.''
With the Yankees winning the World Series in 2009, making the playoffs in each of the last two years and heading toward opening day with a revamped starting rotation, there is optimism. Swindal says he has no reason to complain about the franchise's direction.
''Hal is doing a great job,'' he said. ''He's a smart, smart young man, and I'm proud of him.''

Thursday was the first day of testimony in Ronald Santiago's double-murder trial. Santiago is accused of killing Greg and Bernadette Ohlemacher in 2005 to cover up a fraud scheme. The Ohlemachers' daughter took the stand late in the afternoon.
Renee Ohlemacher was the one who called 911 the day her parents were found dead. Prosecuting attorneys questioned her about her relationship with her family and what happened that day. She said she was sleeping when she woke up to the sound of gunshots and her dad yelling "What are you doing?"
Ohlemacher said she stayed in her room, grabbing a cell phone and hiding in the closet. When 911 dispatchers were almost there, she says she crawled past their room to get downstairs and outside.
Attorneys also questioned her about her parents' life insurance policy and changing her name after her parents' death. She says when her name came up in searches, it had been hard to get a job.

UPDATED: Philadelphia doctor guilty of murder in 3 late-term abortions
PHILADELPHIA — A Philadelphia doctor was found guilty on Monday of murdering three babies during abortions at a clinic serving low-income women in a case that cast a national spotlight on the controversial practice of late-term abortions.
Dr. Kermit Gosnell, 72, who ran the now-shuttered Women's Medical Society Clinic, faces the possibility of the death penalty. The case focused on whether the infants were born alive and then killed.
He was accused of delivering live babies during late-term abortions and then deliberately severing their spinal cords.
Gosnell, wearing a maroon shirt and red tie, was stoic as the foreman read the verdicts. One woman on the jury cried.
After the jury was dismissed, prosecutor Joanne Pescatore threw her arms around a police officer who was a crime scene investigator at the clinic and sobbed.
The trial, which anti-abortion advocates had complained was being ignored by the media because of a bias in favor of abortion rights, was punctuated by graphic testimony.
Witness testimony described the babies as born breathing, moving and making sounds. Testimony also depicted a filthy clinic, and prosecutors called it a "house of horrors."
The jury heard five weeks of testimony in Common Pleas Court in Philadelphia and deliberated for 10 days.
Gosnell also was found guilty of involuntary manslaughter in the case of Karnamaya Mongar, 41, of Virginia, who died from a drug overdose after going to him for an abortion.
He also was found guilty of performing 21 abortions after 24 weeks of pregnancy at his clinic, which served mostly low-income women in a largely black community. It is legal in Pennsylvania to abort a fetus up to 24 weeks into a pregnancy.
The verdicts come as late-term abortion has become a hot-button issue in a number of statehouses this year.
Nine states ban abortions after 20 weeks, according to the pro-choice organization NARAL. Other states recently put new restrictions on abortions, with Arkansas banning them at 12 weeks and North Dakota at six weeks.
Most abortions, 92 percent, are performed before 14 weeks, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and 1.3 percent are performed beyond 20 weeks.

Anyone ever tried this stuff before. Grew up with it as a kid, families would get together and make this and lefse in the winter. Main ingredients would be lean ground beer, all spice, onion, sale peter, and a few other secret spices. It would then be stuffed into a beef casing, air pockets punctured and then hung on closet rods in a cold room just above freezing to dry for a couple months until no longer pink. Then packaged and frozen. When you wanted some you would pull a ring out and slice the ends, run it under hot water for a few seconds to moisten the casing and then it would be stripped off.
It was pretty salty and rich but a love or hate thing depending if you got some from someone who used quality ingredients like leaner beef and put a good ratio of spice in. Went great with beer and as kids my mother would usually make dumplings or mush (esentially milk and flour with butter, sugar and cinnamon on top.)
Are you not supposed to eat the casing? I did when I had something like this sausage. It was very good, I want to make some myself. I also had some made from venison. I ate it as is and there was so much flavor and smoke it was amazing.
The package just said dry sausage. It looked exactly like what you have pictured.
It's pretty tough to chew Beef natural intestinal casing though sheep and pork casing are pretty much edible, beef is much thicker. Soon as you put it in your mouth it starts to rehydrate and winds up being like meat flavored chewing gum. Not real appetizing though we wouldn't mind it to much when we were kids and we would sneak a ring out, cut it up and just peel the casing off and miss some of it.
We tried pork and artificial casings and they just don't with stand the pressure. You have to get it packed as tight as possible or you can get empty pockets of air and bacteria or mold can then grow. This is why it is also important to lance the air pockets before hanging.
I must find a recipe for this stuff. It was just so good when I had it. The casing did not seem to be chewy at all at least what I could remember. I have never tried my hand at making sausage but I would like to try. Maybe I will start with this stuff.
I will see what I can find. I think we have four different recipes and it always turns out a little different each time.

After turning my keys and vacating the premises, they continued charges on my account for three months. An "er Read Moreror in the system" had my information turned in to a collection agency. After being harassed by the collections department, the office at the apartments assured me I would be taken care of. Months passed and the collection agency called again. After three visits to the office, they finally cleared my history. The administration seems very unorganized and unwilling to assist.

I got the mail this morning that the Dynamics GP Excel Paste has made it and ranked in the 2013 list of DynamicsWorld Microsoft Dynamics Top 50 Add-Ons. Quoting from DynamicsWorld: In previous years each platform has had its own Top 12, however, with an increasing number of ISVs now creating cross platform Add-Ons this year it was necessary to publish the top Add-Ons for Microsoft Dynamics as a single list of the Top 50.

Analytical Account Posting Setup – Breaking the Hidden Secrets!!
Yesterday one of my customers reported an issue that the analytical accounting report is not being printed after the "General Posting Journal" upon posting a GL Transaction. First thing came to my mind that this report has been unmarked in "Posting Setup" then in moment I realized that the Posting Setup does not contains anything for AA!! It has been said in the analytical accounting installation manual that YOU MUST CONFIGURE YOU POSTING SETUP BEFORE ACTIVATING THE PRODUCT: Setting up posting options for Analytical Accounting Once you've installed Analytical Accounting for your company, you must set up the appropriate posting options for Analytical Accounting in the Microsoft Dynamics GP Posting Setup window.

Montana holds off WSU Wildcats for 24-21 win in Ogden
The University of Montana Grizzlies scored twice late in the fourth quarter and held off the Weber State Wildcats for a 24-21 victory Saturday afternoon in a Big Sky Conference game in WSU's Stewart Stadium.
VIDEO/AUDIO STREAMING: gogriz.com/all-access.
LIVE STATS: gogriz.com/all-access.
TWITTER: @umgrizzlies_fb & umgrizzlies_sid.
TV: The Griz-Wildcat game will be televised by Max Media of Montana. Chris Byers calls the play-by-play, John Edwards provides in-booth color, and Shaun Rainey serves as the sideline reporter. The game will be aired on KTMF-FOX 23 & 42 in Missoula/Kalispell; KWYB-FOX 18 & 28 in Butte/ Bozeman; KFBB-FOX 5 in Great Falls; KHBB-FOX 5 in Helena; KULR-NBC 8 in Billings; and KXGN-NBC in Glendive.
LAST GAME--Montana 31, at South Dakota 27: Ellis Henderson scored on a 98-yard kickoff return with 1:36 left in the game to give the Grizzlies another come-from behind victory.
STAT LEADERS AT USD: Henderson had 4 catches for a career-high 188 yards and 2 TDs and 315 all-purpose yards. Griz quarterback Jordan Johnson was 17-of-33-3 passing for 337 yards and 2 TDs, and he'd thrown just one pick in UM's previous nine games.
DEFENSE MAKES BIG STOPS: The Griz "D" once again made key plays late in the game and they held USD to just a fourth-quarter field goal in the second half. Matt Hermanson led UM with a game-high 11 tackles, returned a fumble for a 35-yard TD, and also forced a fumble. Jordan Tripp had 9 tackles, and had the big forced fumble that led to Hermanson's touchdown.
THIRD LONGEST KOR: Henderson's 98-yard kickoff return tied him for the third longest in UM history with Marc Mariani who had a 98-yarder vs. South Dakota State in 2009.
RECENT COMEBACK SAGA: Montana has now won three of its last four games in dramatic, last-second touchdowns. At Sacramento State (Nov. 2), the Griz won 51-48 in overtime. Against Cal Poly UM scored on a 4th-and-2 from two yards out to tie the contest 14-14 with 12 seconds to go putting the game in overtime, and won 21-14.
ELLIS HONORED: Henderson, a sophomore from Portland, Ore. was named the Big Sky's special team's "Player of the Week," while Hermanson, a junior free safety from Sioux Falls, S.D., shared the award on defense with Southern Utah cornerback LeShawn Sims.
WINNING WAYS: Montana's win at Sacramento State on Nov. 2 gave the Grizzlies their 27th winning season in the past 28 years (starting in 1986).
WSU SCORES TO DATE: at WSU 50, Stephen F. Austin 40; at Utah 70, WSU 7; at Utah State 70, WSU 6; at #13-McNeese State 43, WSU 6; Sac State 31, at WSU 3; at #6-E. Washington 41, WSU 19; at Cal Poly 47, WSU 0; #5-Montana State 34, at WSU 16; at Portland St. 45, WSU 24; S. Utah 27, at WSU 21.
LAST MEETING (11/3/12: Griz 24, at WSU 21): UM scored twice in the fourth quarter and held off WSU for the win. The Griz took their third and final lead of the game on a 9-yard TD pass from QB Shay Smithwick-Hann to wide receiver Bryce Carver with 6:37 left to play.
SERIES: Montana leads 39-13 and has won 13 of the last 15. The last Wildcats' win in Missoula was 29-26 in 1987, and WSU has lost 13 games in a row in Missoula.
OF NOTE: Former Griz head coach (2010-11) and assistant coach (1986-94 and 2009) Robin Pflugrad is the offensive coordinator/running backs coach at WSU.

Stamps.com Review: Online Stamps
|Sign up for Stamps.com
|Easiest navigation and printing process; intuitive site, good value and shipping discounts make it our first choice
Just like its straightforward name, Stamps.com is an intuitive online stamps service that allows users to simply print postage on their home printers with no extra hardware necessary, except a scale to weigh your mail. Stamps.com gives users $5 worth of postage to test out during their 4-week free trial. After the trial, the monthly fee is $15.99/month, not including the cost of postage.
Note that you can get special discounts not available at the post office when using Stamps.com for your postage needs. According to their site, customers save up to 62% on all Express Mail shipments, up to 15% on Priority Mail shipments, and up to 15% on First Class Package Service. If you are shipping internationally, Stamps.com saves you up to 5% on Priority Mail International shipments and up to 8% for Express Mail International. Also, save up to 40% over USPS rates when you insure your shipments with Stamps.com.
Getting Started
After registering your email and entering your credit card information, you will be given a couple of postage scale options, which you will see in the pricing section of this review. After completing the simple registration process, Stamps.com will start you off with $5 worth of free postage so you can test out the service.
About a week after signing up, Stamps.com sent us a quick-start package complete with setup instructions for the account and the scale, $40 worth of postage coupons that are only applicable to people who continue their service past the free trial, a 20% off coupon for the store, two free pages worth of NetStamps (the material you print stamps on) and two free shipping labels.
Printing Postage
The process for printing postage with Stamps.com was the most user-friendly of the 3 services we reviewed. To print, go to the top menu bar and click "print postage." When printing labels, you must select the type of mail piece or package you are sending. With letters and postcards, you are required to use NetStamps paper, which you can buy in the Stamps.com store. For everything else you can just use a plain sheet of paper, or use a Stamps.com SDC-1200 shipping label, Avery shipping label or a generic shipping label, all available for purchase from the Stamps.com store.
Before you print your postage, make sure that you have enough money on your account. We liked that Stamps.com doesn't make you exit the form to add credit. Instead, a notification will pop up allowing you to add $10 increments to your balance. Another notification will pop up warning you that you are deducting money from your account. It will also warn you if your credit balance drops below $25, reminding you to add more soon. Thankfully, if you made a mistake during the printing process, you can reprint the label one time. If there is a mistake both times, you must contact customer service and get a refund on the postage.
How Much Postage Do I Get?
Stamps.com is able to figure out the cost of postage for you. After choosing the type of package you are sending (i.e., letters, postcards, thick envelopes, USPS flat rate envelopes, etc), you must enter the weight and dimensions of the item. If you purchased one of their USB digital scales, or have your own USB scale, the form will automatically fill in the weight when you click "read digital scale." You must then choose what you will be printing your stamps on. As you are selecting the country you are shipping to, Stamps.com will adjust the postage rate for you. From there you can choose what type of mail service you'd like (i.e., first class, priority or express), and Stamps.com will adjust the price according to your selection.
Extra Features
There are a couple of helpful resources on the Stamps.com homepage. In the "history" tab, users can search past prints, refunds and schedule USPS pickups. Items that are eligible for USPS pickup, such as Priority Mail or Express Mai, will be listed under the USPS pickups tab. This "carrier pickup" service allows you to request a free package pickup from the USPS. When you click directly into the history tab, all of your recent postage will show up and you can click on the tracking number to track your package. SCAN forms, short for Shipment Confirmation Acceptance Notices, can be found here as well. This will allow you to associate multiple package tracking numbers to one master barcode. Those who opted for Stamps.com insurance can file claims through the history tab as well. The "reports" tab will help you keep track of balances, expenses and past prints. You can update your personal and billing information, as well as toggle your default payment method, through the "manage account" tab.
For postage supplies, look no further than the Stamps.com store in the "buy supplies" tab. Here you will find everything from priority mail envelopes and boxes to tape guns and NetStamps paper. In addition to that, you can snag a limited supply of free envelopes, postage labels and more in the "free USPS supplies" section. For example, you can get 12 free 1/2" x 9 1/2" Priority Mail Flat Rate Envelopes.
Customer Support
Stamps.com has a very extensive help center, which offers detailed instructions on everything from printing postage to ordering extra supplies. There are even "webinars" where they will take you through the steps of using the service. They have an email contact form, which gave us a detailed, helpful response within 2 hours. Their phone support is available Monday through Friday from 6 AM to 6 PM Pacific Standard Time. When we called in, the customer service rep was knowledgeable, friendly and answered our call relatively fast.
At $15.99 per month after the 4-week trial, Stamps.com is about the same price as the other online stamps services we review, though Endicia for PC is cheaper. You can order a free 5 pound USB scale and pay just $9.85 in shipping, get a $49.99 25 pound USB scale plus $9.15 shipping or opt for no scale purchase and just use one you already have. Remember that you must pay for your own postage; the monthly subscription fee does not include the cost of postage.
Other than saving you a trip to the post office, Stamps.com's postage coupons, discounts and free materials are even more perks to signing up for the service. Individuals and business owners who do a lot of mailing will enjoy the plethora of organizational resources as well. Overall, Stamps.com is easy and intuitive for even the postal novice.

Funny there's no news about Charter, I'm also experiencing slow down on Charter's network, I had to VPN back to my alma mater to get HD...
1 recommendation
1st Comcast, then Verizon, & now AT&T. Cogent has just lost a huge portion of the traffic they carried for Netflix. I wonder what was in the contract between Netflix & Cogent in this eventuality. I haven't seen any statements yet from Cogent. I look forward to see what they have to say.
Netflix is an important customer for Cogent, though Wells Fargo released a note Monday saying the streaming service accounts for less than 2% of Cogent's revenue.A separate note from Citigroup says Netflix accounts for 1.7% of Cogent's revenue, and notes that Comcast's rate is likely above the rate Cogent charges Netflix.The gross profit margin for COGENT COMMUNICATIONS GRP is rather high; currently it is at 57.27%. It has increased from the same quarter the previous year. Along with this, the net profit margin of 58.53% significantly outperformed against the industry average.
Shares of Cogent Communications, one of the companies that took care of the Internet traffic exchange between the Comcast and Netflix networks, fell 7 percent on Monday as investors worried that these deals would take away Cogent's business.Cogent's chief executive Dave Schaeffer played down the effect of the Comcast-Netflix agreement on its business and reaffirmed the company's annual revenue forecast."It doesn't mean that revenue goes away from Cogent. It just means that some of the growth in revenue may not occur through us," he said.
Pick a name and stick with it, TK.
People complain when the existing arrangement screws with their experience and then complain when something is done to fix the problem. YAWN. Once all of the Netflix traffic is dumped directly to the large ISPs, maybe peering congestion will be relieved enough to allow better performance for those us who don't use Netflix.
No major change, business as usual as far as network-to-network peering negotiations are concerned

Safety experts say a graduated driver's license law that went into effect in 2010 and increased use of seat belts have helped reduce accidents involving teenagers in Kansas.
State transportation records show the number of accidents involving drivers 14 through 16 years old dropped from more than 5,000 in 2004 and 2005 to fewer than 3,000 last year.
The graduated license law requires all teen drivers to hold a learner's permit for 12 months before obtaining a restricted or unrestricted license. Teen drivers are prohibited from using cellphones for the first six months after getting a full license, having more than one non-sibling minor passenger and driving after 9 p.m. except to and from work or school.

HP introduces ProLiant Gen8 Servers to enhance virtualised performance
INDUSTRY| Oct. 1, 2012, 12:58 p.m.
HP recently unveiled two new HP ProLiant Generation 8 (Gen8) four-socket servers that deliver increased compute power in less space, enabling clients to achieve return on investment within three months.
The industry's first four-socket servers to incorporate HP ProActive Insight Architecture,the HP ProLiant BL660c and DL560 Gen8 servers significantly reduce the time spent on maintenance tasks through high levels of automation and continuous monitoring of system health, saving IT staff more than 30 days of administration time a year.
Clients are continuously virtualising their compute-intensive applications in order to achieve greater utilisation and efficiency, and to facilitate the move to private and hybrid clouds. Many clients have virtualised the basic infrastructure and smaller workloads, but a challenge still remains with more complex and higher-end workloads. Clients often face performance bottlenecks, data-center footprint and power limitations, and inadequate memory capacity from traditional two-socket servers.
As building blocks for HP Converged Infrastructure, these multiprocessor servers satisfy the need for high-end compute power that enables clients to extend end-to-end virtualisation and provide a foundation for creating private and hybrid clouds.
With a three-to-one sever-consolidation rate and reduced server footprint in the data center, the HP ProLiant BL660c Gen8 server offers four-socket density in half the size of previous generations, and reduces total cost of ownership (TCO) by up to 30%.
Additionally, the HP ProLiant DL560 Gen8 server provides a space-minimising four-socket server in a 2U form factor without compromising performance, scalability or expansion requirements.
The HP ProLiant BL660c and HP ProLiant DL560 Gen8 servers were designed to drive better performance for complex, virtualised environments so clients can access their data faster, optimise their system to achieve higher-performing workloads and add more virtual machines (VMs) per server. The new servers deliver:
-Improved storage performance with the first integrated PCIe 3.0 storage technology, providing twice the input/output bandwidth and up to six times faster performance than previous generations.
-Enhanced VM support with a memory design that is five times more dense than competitive offeringsand delivers lower latency than previous generations.
-Up to 50% better memory performance than competitive offerings, enabling more consolidation of virtual applications on fewer servers.
The new servers drive a balance of economics and density for customers, while optimising application performance to help speed innovation and business growth. For example, ZTE Corporation, one of the world's largest smartphone vendors, needed to break through its capacity limitation and enhance the adaptability of the traditional data center in order to be able to keep up the business rapid growth.
"We needed to modernise our data centers in order to keep up with rapid growth and to ensure continued service to our customers across 140 countries," said Yu Yuan, product manager, ZTE Corporation—Guangdong NewStart Technology Service Ltd. "We chose the HP ProLiant DL 560 Gen8 server over the competition because it offered increased virtual machine densities to reduce space and cost, while improving performance, which enabled us to develop a platform to build private clouds."
Built on HP ProActive Insight Architecture
HP ProLiant Gen8 servers redefine expectations and economics in the data center by leveraging HP ProActive Insight Architecture to offer new four-socket servers with unprecedented lifecycle automation. With a direct connection to the HP Insight Online portal, these servers accelerate problem resolution and reduce unplanned downtime. Through self monitoring, self diagnosing and proactive support, clients can resolve problems up to 66% faster.
The advanced technologies of the HP ProLiant Gen8 portfolio, tested in real-world data centers, were built with 150 client-inspired design innovations that can virtually eliminate common server problems that cause failures, downtime and data loss.

text: Home > About the CIA > News and MediaPast News StoriesFor the MediaYouTube Channel Share This Prominent San Antonio Chef Michael Sohocki Featured in CIA Video Podcast Posted: April 19, 2013Media Contact:Jeff Levine Communications Manager email@example.com Antonio, TX – Michael Sohocki, chef/owner of Restaurant Gwendolyn in San Antonio, TX, shares the story behind his unique and successful restaurant in a new video podcast from his alma mater, The Culinary Institute of America (CIA). Sohocki, who earned his bachelor's degree from the CIA in 2002, was the winner of the Rising Star Sustainability Chef Award from StarChefs.com in 2012.In the five-minute podcast, Chef Sohocki discusses his career inspiration and why he uses only local, perishable ingredients—and no electricity—in his kitchen. The concept at Gwendolyn is to prepare food the way it was done before the industrial revolution of the 19th century. The Robstown, TX native talks about how his bachelor's degree studies at the CIA helped shape his philosophy."I got more exposure to the philosophical application (of cooking) in the bachelor's degree. They teach you not so much the 'how,' as in the associate degree, but more the 'why,'" Sohocki says about his CIA education. "There are courses in the bachelor's program in which we talk about our childhood experiences…It gives you more of an idea of how to conceive your menu so that it has not just good technical skill but it contains meaning."Chef Sohocki opened his own restaurant in 2010 after working for fellow CIA alumnus Andrew Weissman '96 at Le Rêve, Il Sogno Osteria, and Sandbar Oyster Bar in San Antonio. Restaurant Gwendolyn is at the location of the former Le Rêve on the Riverwalk, not far from the CIA's San Antonio campus.  Founded in 1946, The Culinary Institute of America is an independent, not-for-profit college offering associate and bachelor's degrees with majors in culinary arts, baking and pastry arts, and culinary science, as well as certificate programs in culinary arts and wine and beverage studies. As the world's premier culinary college, the CIA provides thought leadership in the areas of health & wellness, sustainability, and world cuisines & cultures through research and conferences. The CIA has a network of 45,000 alumni that includes industry leaders such as Grant Achatz, Anthony Bourdain, Roy Choi, Cat Cora, Dan Coudreaut, Steve Ells, Johnny Iuzzini, Charlie Palmer, and Roy Yamaguchi. The CIA also offers courses for professionals and enthusiasts, as well as consulting services in support of innovation for the foodservice and hospitality industry. The college has campuses in Hyde Park, NY; St. Helena, CA; San Antonio, TX; and Singapore.# # # Related StoriesNov 18, 2014 - CIA Striker is HVIAC Soccer Player of the YearNov 17, 2014 - Culinary Science is Focus of CIA Display at New York ShowNov 14, 2014 - CIA Enters Dual Credit Program with Houston High SchoolsNov 13, 2014 - CIA Releases New Drone FootageNov 12, 2014 - Fifteen Top UK Chefs Come to CIA to Honor Their MentorMore News Media Relations1946 Campus DriveHyde Park, NY, 12538845-905-4288845-452-9430

HOPE Launch Event
| Nicolai Foss |
This Wednesday, 22 October 2014, is the Launch event for the CBS research program I co-direct with Anders Sørensen, "Human Capital, Organization Design, and Corporate Performance" (HOPE). The program includes Ed Lazear, Kathryn Shaw, Ben Campbell, and David Ross. HOPE is about organizational structure and productivity:
Many of the European economies suffer from sluggish productivity growth. Firms matter strongly to economic growth. However, the understanding of firm performance has many gaps — particularly concerning the role for performance of human resources, organizational design, and their interaction.
The scientific ambition of HOPE is to address these gaps based on an interdisciplinary approach, intensively cooperating with some of the world's leading researchers in the fields that inform this proposal, and by making use of the state-of-the-art econometric methods, and high-quality register and survey data. HOPE will enter a still sparsely populated but highly important field, and will place CBS centrally in the international discussion of the causes of firm performance, such as firm-level productivity.
HOPE is a joint venture between Department of Strategic Management and Globalization, and Department of Economics at Copenhagen Business School
Hope you can join us!
Rich Makadok on Formal Modeling and Firm Strategy
[A guest post from Rich Makadok, lifted from the comments section of the Tirole post below.]
Peter invited me to reply to [Warren Miller's] comment, so I'll try to offer a defense of formal economic modeling.
In answering Peter's invitation, I'm at a bit of a disadvantage because I am definitely NOT an IO economist (perhaps because I actually CAN relax). Rather, I'm a strategy guy — far more interested in studying the private welfare of firms than the public welfare of economies (plus, it pays better and is more fun). So, I am in a much better position to comment on the benefits that the game-theoretic toolbox is currently starting to bring to the strategy field than on the benefits that it has brought to the economics discipline over the last four decades (i.e., since Akerlof's 1970 Lemons paper really jump-started the trend).
Peter writes, "game theory was supposed to add transparency and 'rigor' to the analysis." I have heard this argument many times (e.g., Adner et al, 2009 AMR), and I think it is a red herring, or at least a side show. Yes, formal modeling does add transparency and rigor, but that's not its main benefit. If the only benefit of formal modeling were simply about improving transparency and rigor then I suspect that it would never have achieved much influence at all. Formal modeling, like any research tool or method, is best judged according to the degree of insight — not the degree of precision — that it brings to the field.
I can't think of any empirical researcher who has gained fame merely by finding techniques to reduce the amount of noise in the estimate of a regression parameter that has already been the subject of other previous studies. Only if that improved estimation technique generates results that are dramatically different from previous results (or from expected results) would the improved precision of the estimate matter much — i.e., only if the improved precision led to a valuable new insight. In that case, it would really be the insight that mattered, not the precision. The impact of empirical work is proportionate to its degree of new insight, not to its degree of precision. The excruciatingly unsophisticated empirical methods in Ned Bowman's highly influential "Risk-Return Paradox" and "Risk-Seeking by Troubled Firms" papers provide a great example of this point.
The same general principle is true of theoretical work as well. I can't think of any formal modeler who has gained fame merely by sharpening the precision of an existing verbal theory. Such minor contributions, if they get published at all, are barely noticed and quickly forgotten. A formal model only has real impact when it generates some valuable new insight. As with empirics, the insight is what really matters, not the precision. (more…)
SMS Special Conference, "From Local Voids to Local Goods: Can Institutions Promote Competitive Advantage?"
| Peter Klein |
Please consider submitting a proposal to the upcoming SMS Special Conference in Santiago, Chile, 19-21 March 2015, on the theme "From Local Voids to Local Goods: Can Institutions Promote Competitive Advantage?" Here's the description:
A recent stream of strategy research has examined how institutional voids pose fundamental challenges for industrial development in emerging markets, which bring detrimental effects to the competitiveness of local firms. Yet, in many countries, policymakers, to various degrees and levels, have adopted a rather positive agenda, to try and foster local firms through the provision of public resources, such as investments in infrastructure, specialized industrial policies, as well as knowledge-generation systems. Concomitantly, firms themselves have pursued collective synergies that individual firms alone would be able to attain. In sum, strategies embedded in the local environment may promote rather than limit competitive advantage. To advance this discussion, we are gathering a group of established scholars and practitioners in Santiago, one of the most modern Latin American cities. Chile is also well known for its distinctive institutional reforms, which promote a thriving business climate. The Conference will thus offer a unique opportunity to discuss how firms and institutions interact to spur entrepreneurship and development.
I am chairing the track on "Institutions and Local Entrepreneurship," and looking for papers dealing broadly with the relationships among legal, political, and social institutions, entrepreneurship (broadly defined), public policy, and economic performance. I would love to see submissions from O&Mers. The submission deadline (extended abstract, not full paper) is 15 October 2014, just around the corner. Let me know if you have any questions.
"Why Managers Still Matter"
| Nicolai Foss |
Here is a recent MIT Sloan Management Review piece by Peter and me, "Why Managers Still Matter." We pick up on a number of themes of our 2012 book Organizing Entrepreneurial Judgment. A brief excerpt:
"Wikifying" the modern business has become a call to arms for some management scholars and pundits. As Tim Kastelle, a leading scholar on innovation management at the University of Queensland Business School in Australia, wrote: "It's time to start reimagining management. Making everyone a chief is a good place to start."
Companies, some of which operate in very traditional market sectors, have been crowing for years about their systems for "managing without managers" and how market forces and well-designed incentives can help decentralize management and motivate employees to take the initiative. . . .
From our perspective, the view that executive authority is increasingly passé is wrong. Indeed, we have found that it is essential in situations where (1) decisions are time-sensitive; (2) key knowledge is concentrated within the management team; and (3) there is need for internal coordination. . . . Such conditions are hallmarks of our networked, knowledge-intensive and hypercompetitive economy.
SMS Teaching Workshop: Impact of New Technologies on Teaching and Higher Education
| Peter Klein |
Along with Gonçalo Pacheco de Almeida I am chairing the Competitive Strategy Interest Group Teaching Workshop at the upcoming Strategic Management Society conference in Madrid. The workshop is Saturday, 20 September 2014, 1:00-4:00pm at the main conference venue, the NH Eurobuilding, Paris Room. Our theme is "The Impact of New Technologies on Teaching and Higher Education" and we have an all-star lineup featuring Bharat Anand (Harvard), Peter Zemsky (INSEAD), Michael Leiblein (Ohio State), Michael Lenox (University of Virginia), Frank Rothaermel (Georgia Tech), Vivek Goel (Chief Academic Strategist at Coursera), and Andrea Martin (President of IBM Academy of Technology).
Background: The higher-education industry is abuzz with talk about MOOCs, distance learning, computer-based instruction, and other pedagogical innovations. Many of you are already using online exercises and assessments, simulations, and other activities in the classroom. How are these innovations best incorporated into the business curriculum, at the BBA, MBA, EMBA, and PhD levels? What can business scholars, say about the impact of these technologies on higher education more generally? Are they sustaining or disruptive innovations, and what do they imply for the structure of the business school, and the university itself?
The plan for this session is to discuss how leading companies and business schools are (a) driving innovation in the Higher Education teaching space, (b) thinking about the business model of virtual education (MOOCs, social learning, etc.), and (c) testing some of the assumptions behind globalization in the education industry.
The full schedule is below the fold. Additional information about the workshop, and the SMS itself, is available at the conference website.
If you're coming to SMS this year, please plan to join us for the workshop. Pre-registration is encouraged but not required. If you're planning to attend, please let us know by sending an email to email@example.com. Feel free to email Gonçalo or myself at the same address with questions or comments. (more…)
Theories of the Firm
| Peter Klein |
At the recent Academy of Management conference in Philadelphia I was pleased to participate in a pre-conference workshop organized by Paul Drnevich, Larry Tribble, and David Croson, "Theories and Their Words: A Cross-Academy Discussion of Perspectives on Value Creation and Capture." From the blurb:
In this workshop a panel of senior and emerging scholars provides a forum to examine and discuss the roles and implications of several prominent management theories and their differing terminology for creating and capturing value. Our distinguished panelists will provide an overview of the value implications of several well-known foundational theories of the existence and purpose of business organizations: Transaction Cost Economics (TCE), Property Rights Theory (PRT), the Capabilities and Resource-based View (RBV), and Industrial Organization (IO), discuss challenges often encountered in efforts to integrate these theories and their terminology, and explore commonalities and intersections across these perspectives that may yield opportunities for future research. We provide perspectives from the distinguished scholars as a means of clarifying how each theory explains the core concepts of value creation and value capture, without which a sustainable business cannot exist. We then offer a discussion of points of commonality and integration of the theories around value creation and value capture with an open forum Q&A session with the presenters regarding directions for future research. We conclude with round-table breakout discussions, each led by a senior scholar and focused on a specific aspect of the theory they presented for more detailed discussion of future research in that theoretical stream.
The presentations from the workshop are online here. You may find them interesting for for research and for teaching. My own presentation on strategy and transaction cost economics covered the basics of TCE and asked if TCE is really a theory of strategy (short answer: no and yes).
Update: Mike Ryall's presentation is viewable here.

Oceana Chief Scientist on HuffPost Live
Oceana chief scientist Michael Hirshfield dropped by Huffington Post Live yesterday to talk sustainability, food security and fish (Michael begins speaking at around the 11 minute mark).
Michael says that the oceans are an often overlooked resource that if managed correctly could become 20 to 40 percent more productive than they are today, and sigificantly contribute to the global food budget in 2050 when world population is expected to top out at 9 billion people. Michael also discusses the merits of aquaculture, a term that encompasses everything from tuna farming which is unlikely to aid food security or the fight against overfishing, to shellfish cultivation, which can benefit both seafood lovers and ecosystems alike.
