Transitioning Our Most Valuable MPS Resource: Legacy Salespeople
As the industry and dealers transition to a new MPS selling model, one important group is too frequently being left behind… the "legacy" sales rep.
Building High Performance Teams in a Transitioning Industry
Building a team has never been difficult for those managers who know how and are willing to put forth enough consistent developmental effort to do so. There are countless examples of successful team building managers and leaders who have forged effective philosophies and strategies for us to follow.
Sales Training – A New Model
An adaptation from a conversation between Alice in Wonderland and the Cheshire Cat: "If you don't know where you're going, any road will take you there." If we hope to adopt a new model for our new future it is imperative to recognize some "tipping points" in our industry and the tendency for history to repeat itself.
Trouble With Personality Tests
Personality tests are a popular component of many organizations' hiring processes. As these tests contend to measure traits and characteristics that remain stable over time, it is intuitive to believe information regarding candidates' individual differences in these areas would be helpful when making selection decisions.
Sales Transformation Roadmap
The goal of Sales Talent Management for any organization is to identify the right talent early, screen out the mismatches before they are hired, retain the high potential talent you want to keep, and identify and develop talent for future opportunities within the organization.
Profiling Successful Sales People
Current economic conditions have resulted in some notable changes to our workforce. Many companies have found themselves in unfortunate positions, having been forced to lay off hundreds (if not thousands) of workers to cope with a paucity of resources and try to maintain a competitive edge, or even stay afloat.
Multicultural Validation
Chally currently serves nearly 2,500 customers worldwide in a wide variety of employee selection and development efforts.
Common Hiring Mistakes
Science isn't always helpful to the typical businessman. But in the area of researching and evaluating the effectiveness of different methods of hiring employees, the researchers have a lot to offer. Their ability to track and measure the accuracy, cost effectiveness and competitive value of various techniques has produced a compelling review of the 9 most common mistakes in hiring or promoting employees.

Pacemaker implantation - How a pacemaker is fitted
Before having a pacemaker fitted, you are likely to have a pre-operative assessment. The team looking after you will check that you are fit for surgery. You can also discuss the operation and ask any questions you have.
Tests, such as blood tests and X-rays, can be arranged at this stage so that there are no delays when you are called into hospital. You will be asked about your general health, your heart problems and how these affect you. You'll also be asked about any additional medical problems and previous operations you've had, as well as any problems or reactions you or your family have had with anaesthetics.
Taking steps to improve your fitness and health, such as quitting smoking if you smoke and eating a healthy diet, should help speed up your recovery time and reduce the risk of complications.
Read more about preparing for surgery.
Your specialist
The procedure will be carried out by a heart specialist, known as a cardiologist, who will probably have a special interest in pacemakers. If you are being treated in a large heart hospital, the operation will often be carried out by an electrophysiologist. This is a cardiologist who specialises in heart rhythm disorders.
Fitting the pacemaker
The most widely used method to fit a pacemaker or an implantable caridoverter defibrillator (ICD) is known as transvenous implantation.
Transvenous implantation
In transvenous implantation, the wires of the pacemaker (pacing leads) are inserted into your heart through a vein. This is the most common method of fitting a pacemaker and is done under local anaesthetic, where the area is numbed.
Medication is given through your IV line to relax you and make you feel drowsy, but you will be awake during the procedure.
You will feel an initial burning or pricking sensation when the cardiologist injects the local anaesthetic into a blood vessel. You will soon become numb, but you may feel a pulling sensation during the operation.
During the procedure:
- The cardiologist makes a 5-6cm cut below the collarbone and inserts the pacing lead into a vein.
- The pacing lead is guided into the correct chamber of your heart using X-rays, and becomes lodged in the tissue of your heart.
- The other end of the lead is connected to the pacemaker, which is fitted into a small pocket created under the skin of your upper chest.
The procedure usually takes 30-60 minutes. It may take longer if you're having a biventricular pacemaker (with three leads) fitted or other heart surgery at the same time. You will usually need to stay in hospital overnight and have a day's rest after the procedure.
Epicardial implantation
Epicardial implantation is an alternative and less widely used method of fitting a pacemaker.
In this method, the pacing lead or leads are attached to the outer surface of your heart, which is called the epicardium. Epicardial implantation is often used in children and people who have heart surgery at the same time as the pacemaker implantation.
The procedure is done under general anaesthetic so you will be asleep during it.
The surgeon attaches the tip of the lead to your heart and the other end of the lead to the pacemaker box. This is placed in a pocket created under the skin in your abdomen (below your chest).
This usually takes one to two hours, but could take longer if you are having other heart surgery at the same time.
Recovery usually takes longer than when using the transvenous approach.
Testing and setting the pacemaker
Once the leads are in place and before they are connected to the pacemaker, the cardiologist will test them to make sure they work properly and can increase your heart rate (called pacing). Small amounts of energy are delivered through the leads into the heart, which cause it to contract.
When the leads are being tested, you may feel your heart rate increase or your heart beat faster.
Tell the medical team what symptoms you feel.
Your doctor will determine the settings of your pacemaker after deciding how much electrical energy is needed to stimulate your heartbeat.

(at the end of the year, lol!) we worked on the stuff until midnight, when she spilled red liquid jell-o all over her tan carpet :( awww i felt so bad! i tried to help her get most of it out. But we made all of the pudding (all 20 boxes!!!!) and dyed it blue to look like water. And Kaitlyn helped with the decorations which was awesome, because we haven't had any help on *anything*!!! so tomorrow we need to finish up the jell-o, put up the decor, make the fruit skewers, and crumb/animal snack the dirt pudding~ as well as do the whole set up thing! Plus i have to get all beautied up with luau gear.
I finally got ahold of someone concering the whole art major thing. Thank goodness! The art academic advisor's secretary emailed me back. Friday I go in with her and we fill out my form to declare my additional major in studio art. Yea! Ruth emailed me back and her office hours (walk-in) are wednesdays from 2-4:30...i was just too tired today and had waaaaaaay too much to do. Hopefully she'll be here next wednesday, even if it is the day before thanksgiving when everyone is leaving. I emailed her back to ask her, so we'll see what she says. otherwise i'm kinda screwed cuz next semester is approaching!!!! ahhh!

A New Found Glory~ Don't wanna miss a thang
doodeedoo today i made a payment on my credit card...Randy drove me. Then we went back to his dorm and just hung out. :) Then we ate dinner there, yea they had mac and cheese!! they seriously need to have that more often!!! He said they only have it when i'm there, it's weird. Well my dorm like never has it. I'm *so* sick of the food! I'm looking forward to going home and eating lots of *real* food, especially on Thanksgiving. YUM!! It'll be my first real holiday without meat :) On easter I had to work, so I didn't eat with the fam. ooo the roles are soooo good that my grandma always gets! And her sweet potato thing is real good too. I'm excited!
I have to do my paper tomorrow. My essay number 3...yeah. Then sunday i need to go to the writing center! Cuz i did real bad on my one essay...hm. i have no idea what Randy and i are doing tomorrow. Lindsey is all hyped to work out. eh...
I am *so* hungry...weird. we ate dinner and stuff at like 7pm. I dunno why i'm so hungry. It seems pointless to order anything cuz it's already midnite. plus i'd have to leave the building and go to the brody building to get some dang money. That means i'd have to go ALL the way around cuz the building locks up at midnite, so i'd have to check in and sit. ugh that is way too much work! I've gotta have some food around here...

Atlas V rocket launches from Cape Canaveral
Updated On: Jul 19 2013 12:56:59 PM EDT
A large Atlas V rocket launched from Cape Canaveral on Friday.
The 206 foot tall unmanned rocket, carrying the heaviest payload ever, was scheduled for liftoff at 8:48 a.m., but experienced a brief delay and went up at 9 a.m.
Cameras mounted on the rocket showed the Earth receding below as the rocket climbed to an eventual altitude of 22,200 miles.
The satellite carried by the Atlas is the heaviest military satellite, tipping the scales at more than 15,000 pounds. It will be operated by the Navy, and used by all branches of the military service to speed up communications around the globe.
Ships, planes, tanks and commanders will be able to send 16 times more information through the new satellite system.
In all, six of the new satellites will form a network that covers the globe, each costing 1.2 billion dollars.

In these uncertain times, traditional holiday entertainment doesn't always fit the bill. Singing Christmas trees and Nutcrackers aside, this might be the year to flaunt tradition. Count on these seasonal offerings to surprise, school, shock, rewind and redneck you into the proper holiday humor.
Sister's Christmas Catechism – The Mystery of the Magi's Gold
Dec. 2-14; Booth Playhouse, Blumenthal Performing Arts Center, 130 N. Tryon St.
Manger Mystery: Expect the same firm but friendly hand that Sister employs in the popular "Late Nite Catechism" comedy, where obedience and proper etiquette (no gum chewing!) are still expected. This performance is holiday bound and determined to uncover the mystery behind the missing gold of the Magi. That's right, Sister goes "CSI."
Crime Time: Sister wraps the story of the babe in the manger in crime scene tape and employs her own forensic tools to solve the mystery. Assisted by a local choir and plenty of sheepish audience members, the result is a living Nativity crime scene re-enactment that's funny without pushing the envelope too hard. Expect the loudest laughs from the parochial school kids (ruler marks still evident).
Good to Know: Sister advises that while perfume is an acceptable present for a nun, you should refrain from Obsession, My Sin or any fragrance with Elizabeth Taylor's name on it.
Info: Tuesday-Thursday, 7:30 p.m.; Friday-Saturday, 8 p.m. and Sunday, 3 p.m. $20-$34. 704-372-1000; blumenthalcenter.org.
The Eight: Reindeer Monologues
Dec. 10-21; Actor's Theatre, 650 E. Stonewall St.
Reindeer Games: Chip Decker directs this twisted romp by irreverent playwright Jeff Goode. When one of the eight tiny reindeer accuses the fat man of sexual harassment, scandal erupts. Expect to be shocked by all manner of North Pole secrets and perversions as recounted by the sacred sleigh team.
12-Step Xmas: The Eight reminds us ( with a wink) that the holidays are rarely a Hallmark card and that no one is immune to family dysfunction – even the Kringles. Bring your sense of sarcasm, and leave those under 16 at home.
Cabaret Play: Actor's Theatre is serving up two wicked holiday tales, cabaret-style. "The Eight" and David Sedaris' "The Santaland Diaries." Special pricing is available for those who want to see both.
Info: $15 for "The Eight"; $20, "Santaland Diaries." Schedule: actors theatrecharlotte.org; 704-342-2251, ext 1.
Just Do It: 'Tis the Season
Dec. 19; Theatre Charlotte, 501 Queens Road
Diff'rent Strokes: Theatre Charlotte's Just Do It series serves up unexpected holiday fun when local creatives take the main stage at Theatre Charlotte, complete with lights, sound and an audience. Included in every Just Do It event is Charlotte's only ongoing modern soap opera, "City Queens." Get a recap of the last episode and stay tuned for the latest installment. Before and after, enjoy refreshments with performers in the lobby.
Tinsel Talent: Amateur or professional, if you've got something to say or to show, here's your chance. Fiction and nonfiction writers, playwrights, bloggers, spoken-word artists, poets, actors, singers, musicians, dancers, choreographers, filmmakers, photographers, comedians and folks TC hasn't even yet considered are welcome to present or perform in this ongoing series – and pretty much anything goes.
Info: 8 p.m. $5. theatrecharlotte.org. To participate in upcoming JDI events, 704-376-3777;
justdoit email@example.com.
It's a Wonderful Life:
A Live Radio Play
Dec. 15-18; North Carolina Stage Company, Duke Energy Theatre, Spirit Square, 345 N. College St.
Rewind Time: Before HDTV, TiVo and iPods, folks got news, heard music and listened to comedians and dramas on the radio. You just tuned in and listened – live. The North Carolina Stage Company takes us to the studios of the fictional WBFR Radio on Christmas Eve, 1946, and shows us exactly how radio magic was created – from the sound effects to dozens of character voices.
Classic Tale: Forget the glitz and the holiday schmaltz. This stripped-down, "live broadcast" adaptation of Frank Capra's classic remind us that a simple story, simply told, still packs a punch. Actors playing radio actors playing Bedford Falls characters marries a forgotten art to a well-loved, dog-eared story of redemption that doesn't seem to lose its appeal. Nostalgia times two – and it works.

A Tuna Christmas
Dec. 19-28; Carolina Actor's Studio Theatre, McGlohon Theater, Spirit Square, 345 N. College St.
Texas Xmas: Spend your holidays in Texas' third-smallest town – "where the Lions Club is too liberal and Patsy Cline never dies." Even Tuna, Texas, is not safe from seasonal traumas, including an ill-fated production of "A Christmas Carol," a mysteriously sabotaged yard decorating contest and the arrival of aliens from outer space.
Bubba Claus: Arles Struvie and Thurston Wheelis man the airwaves of Tuna, Texas, radio station OKKK and take their listeners from local comedy to near disaster. Two actors introduce more than 30 zany characters and still manage split-second costume changes. This down-home tale of holiday mayhem has become a QC favorite.
Info: $22-$25. 704-347-5838; nccast.com.

The Online Facilitation Course has been designed to be an introductory course for online communicators and educators to develop their online facilitation skills.Participants in this course often include:
- Facilitators for Further Education programs
- Private Industry Educators and Trainers

Unlike most online courses, the Online Facilitation Course is a continually active and engaging course, with a heavy focus on online communication. Participants of the course are not expected to read through endless text based web pages in a self-paced manner. In fact the Online Facilitation Course is exactly the opposite.
The Online Facilitation Course provides the basic skills and knowledge required to deliver content via discussion, much in the same way a presenter/teacher/facilitator works in a face-to-face environment. Although this online delivery style does allow for a degree of flexibility, the group as a whole moves through the program in a stepped manner.
To ensure the participants of this program are fully supported, each group is capped at approximately 20 students. This allows for the group and individual participants to explore, with the expert facilitators, the areas of online communication interaction, which is of most interest.During the three week program the group will explore online issues including: -
Building An Online Community
The notion of online community is a rapidly emerging theme in relation to online learning and team building. Explore strategies to building an effective online community to best maximize the power of collaborative learning.
Develop strategies to effectively engage all participants within an online community, learn to help the more quiet members of the group feel comfortable enough to more actively participate.
Online Ice Breakers
Participate in, and explore the importance of, online icebreaker activities that help to build strong relationships between all members of the online group. This topic also includes strategies to move online introductory discussion forward to purposeful and sustainable online discussion.
Synchronous Technologies
Participate in, and learn about, an array of chat classroom management skills, to prevent your online chat activities becoming a textual nightmare. Explore strategies for the effective facilitation of virtual classrooms such as elluminate.
- Voice Technologies
Participate in activities using online voice boards and develop an appreciation of how best to use these voice tools. Explore strategies for using online voice tools to improve the online experience for community members.
Dealing with online conflict
Explore the reasons behind online conflict and its implications on the online group members. Develop the basic skills required to address the issues surrounding online conflict.
Managing discussion boards
Learn how to manage the 24/7 global nature of discussion board management.
Most importantly the Online Facilitation Course allows participants to view how the two expert online facilitators deliver online content in an engaging and interactive way. Many previous participants have commented on the value of seeing first hand the skills and strategies the facilitators of this program use to ensure that participants gain a valuable and positive online experience.Enrol online here.

Will the Crop Crisis Trigger Inflation? [FinancialSense]
August 15, 2012 Leave a comment
Our news media have not given enough attention to the very serious heat problems of this summer's growing season for grains. The heat and drought have seriously damaged the corn crop during the early July period of tasseling. The price of corn at $8 per bushel is a new record high. Similarly, $9 per bushel of wheat and soybeans at $16 a bushel are a record high. Soybeans are in the middle of their crucial pod filling stages in August and are looking vulnerable. The decline in the quality of the corn crop over the growing season shows just how serious this year's drought has been.

Former fugitive admits selling bogus insurance policies
Follow @USAO_NJ
March 31, 2014
CAMDEN, N.J. 'Äď A former insurance broker admitted today to conspiring to defraud purchasers of commercial liability insurance by overcharging for policies as well as issuing some customers bogus policies, U.S. Attorney Paul J. Fishman announced.
Thomas M. Grubb Jr., 58, of Voorhees, N.J., pleaded guilty before Chief U.S. District Judge Jerome B. Simandle in Camden federal court to an indictment charging him with one count of conspiracy to commit mail fraud and wire fraud.
Grubb was originally arrested on April 14, 2008, and charged by complaint with one count of obstruction of justice. On Nov. 5, 2008, Grubb failed to appear in court and a warrant was issued for his arrest.
Special agents of IRS-Criminal Investigation apprehended Grubb in Port Charlotte, Fla., on Dec. 6, 2011.
According to documents filed in this case and statements made in court:
Grubb was employed at Aconorate Insurance Agency in Hammonton, N.J., when Aconorate engaged in a scheme to defraud its clients by overcharging them for commercial liability insurance and selling them policies that were not issued by a legitimate insurance carrier. Grubb 'Äď along with the individuals identified in court documents as 'ÄúCC-1,'ÄĚ the owner of Aconorate, and 'ÄúCC-2,'ÄĚ an information technology employee at Aconorate 'Äď procured insurance for Aconorate commercial liability insurance clients through an insurance broker in Texas, identified as 'ÄúGM.'Ä̬† Many of the clients were bars, restaurants, and nightclubs.
Grubb and the owner of Aconorate substantially inflated the premiums that they charged these customers, sometimes increasing the quote that GM provided by as much as 700 to 800 percent. Between June 2004 and July 2006, Grubb and the owner of Aconorate collected more than $1 million dollars in premiums for commercial liability insurance procured through GM and kept over $597,000 of the premiums for themselves.
Grubb and others also took steps to create the appearance that the insurance companies purportedly issuing the policies were legitimate, including creating websites, mailing addresses, and telephone numbers for the insurance companies, and setting up their own mechanism to pay claims.
The mail fraud and wire fraud conspiracy charge carries a maximum potential penalty of 20 years in prison and a $250,000 fine.  Sentencing is scheduled for July 30, 2014.
U.S. Attorney Fishman credited special agents of the FBI, under the direction of Special Agent in Charge Aaron T. Ford in Newark; and IRS'ÄďCriminal Investigation, under the direction of Acting Special Agent in Charge Jonathan D. Larsen, Newark field office, with the investigation leading to today'Äôs guilty plea.¬†
The government is represented by Attorney in Charge R. Stephen Stigall of the U.S. Attorney's Office Criminal Division in Camden.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn (WVLT) -- We featured Parker Smith more than a year ago (Spring 2012) as his friends and former baseball teammates held a tournament to help raise money for his medical needs.
He couldn't walk nor talk because of Wilson's disease.
His father, Eddie Smith describes it, "It messed up his motor skills and shorted everything out in his brain when it comes to movement."
But when we saw Parker recently, he walked, almost running a lap around the classroom.
His parents say he is making progress with medication and therapy.
"Hopefully this year it will be all about recouping and seeing how much further he can get," according to his dad.
He communicates through an iPad.
Requires some high tech gear like his wheelchair.
But he considers his condition a blessing not a burden, a way for him to teach others about god.
Parker recently reunited with a friend from 6th grade, Chris Patti.
He noticed Parker at a high school dance and didn't even know it was him.
Patti hadn't seen Parker in years, but knew he wanted to help.
When he found out it was a longtime friend, it meant even more.
Patti wants to help Parker battle his hurdle, by climbing mountains. Specifically, Mt Rainier in Washington State.
Patti says, "A 14,411 foot mountain and I would like people to sponsor me so the money I raise will go to Parker and his family and help pay for therapy."
When asked Parker's family about the hike, Ed responded "He is very mature for his age. I was very impressed."
Chris says that's what friends do for each other. And, he will use the next few weeks to train for the climb in June. But he's already feeling the impact.
"Already I have learned the true meaning of joy because even through pain and suffering, Parker just shows joy," says Chris.
And It's true, always a smile on his face, even when there are tears on others.

Blog Post
Schmidt out of Google's CEO office, but is privacy in?
Google CEO Eric Schmidt will be leaving the CEO's office and founder Larry Page will be stepping in. The question is whether this is a signal from the Internet Goliath that Schmidt's missteps and misstatements about online privacy are no longer company policy.
It's not likely Google will embrace the "Do Not Track Me" mechanism suggested recently by the FTC, nor abandon its business model of collecting as much data about us as possible to serve us up to the highest paying advertiser. Nonetheless, there could be subtle changes in the Page era that put our privacy back in the minds of Google engineers.
Consumer Watchdog's satirical video below pointed out many of Schmidt's bloopers and was viewed by more than 400,000 people online.
When Page and Co-founder Sergey Brin started Google, they envisioned a company that was more socially conscious and responsive than most corporations. That outlook was famously expressed by Google's unofficial motto, "Don't be evil." In recent years, under Schmidt's leadership, the motto had become a popular punch line for a joke. Now consumers know how Google has tracked them across the Internet, stole information from private Wi-Fi networks with its street-view cars, and turned private e-mail addresses on Gmail accounts into public social networks on its Buzz service.
During Schmidt's watch, Google committed one of the largest privacy breaches ever, when its street-view cars sucked up private data from Wi-Fi networks in 30 countries around the world. The Wi-Spy debacle is under investigation by the FCC and is also the subject of a probe by more than 30 states attorneys general. Congress still needs to put Schmidt under oath and let the American people hear all the details of the scandal.
Schmidt may be out of the CEO's chair in April, but he still needs to be in the witness chair in Congress. Perhaps today's news makes it a little more likely that he will be called forth and sworn to testify in Washington, D.C., one day soon.

KPCC President Bill Davis Wanders Into Impromptu Open House Q&A
At last night's KPCC "Millenials" mixer, several small groups of listeners took turns getting a guided tour of the public radio station's Pasadena headquarters. LA journalist Luis Gomez was among the October 2 visitors and tells FishbowlLA that as he, his girlfriend and others did the walk-through, they happened upon KPCC president and CEO Bill Davis (pictured).
"He came out of his office as we were walking by," Gomez explains. "He said hello, thanked people for being KPCC members and then asked if there were any questions."
NAHJ member Gomez needed no further encouragement. Among the interesting nuggets garnered and noted (picking up where Davis left off last week with Larry Mantle):
- Madeleine Brand left KPCC for a "lucrative TV production deal." Let the guessing game re-begin: Current TV? NBC LA? Ora.tv?…;
- Since hiring A Martinez, KPCC's Latino listener number have doubled;

Saturday, February 9 at 11:59pm
- 21+
Every Saturday night when the clock strikes midnight bells will sound throughout the historic Pike Place Market. The bell's chime alerts the adventurous far and wide that it is time to gather beneath the sidewalks of normalcy and enter the dark glittering underbelly of the Market. It's time to peek under the infamous petticoats at Can Can Kitchen and Cabaret and a get a taste of Seattle's hottest burlesque stars in The Midnight Show.
...A heart shaped world evocative of a Parisian nightspot complete with a bevy of high kicking, dancing beauties. The absinthe will just begin to take hold as the smokey-eyed temptresses of The Midnight Show will lead you into a tantalizing dream world of red lips, shaking hips, garter belts and tasseled nips.
The Midnight show opens January 12th and features members of the award winning burlesque troupe The Heavenly Spies, Can Can's own Castaways and a rotating cast of Guest Artists every month.
Doors open at 11:15pm, show starts at Midnight. This is a 21+ show.
General Admission/Standing: $15.00, includes admission into the venue. This ticketing level does not include a seat. If seating is available the night of the event, this will be given on a first come, first served basis.
VIP (Seated): $25.00, includes admission into the venue, and a seat in the venue.
*Please note that the table for your party is only as big as the number of reserved seats you have booked. So, please make sure all party members hold a $25 VIP (seated) ticket, and all members of the party are booked with the same party name, as is specified below in the "Booking as a Party" section.
All Groupon holders must book their tickets at least a week in advance, as is stated on the Groupon voucher. These can be booked online, or by calling the Stranger Tickets hotline at (888) 377 - 4510.
When booking online, choose the regular seated option, in the case of the Midnight Show, this is the "VIP (Seated)" option. The number of tickets you choose to add to your cart must equal what the Groupon is valid for (i.e. 1, 2, or 4). At checkout, enter the "redemption code" into the promo code box. This will zero out the total and you can continue checkout from there. If you are joining another party/person, please be sure your entire group is using the same party name.
Whether you're a party if 2 or 200, all members of a party must use the same "party name" when booking their tickets. This lets the host know you are all one party, and you will be seated together accordingly.
Failure to book with the same party name may result in your party's inability to sit together as one group.
Table reservations, regardless of whether you are a ticket holder, are given away 15 minutes after the show start time. In the case of The Midnight Show, 12:15am.
This show is a 21+ only show. All attendees are required to present valid ID prior to entry into the venue.
If you appear intoxicated, in accordance with Washington State law, you will not be admitted into the venue.

Understanding Storage Service Management
SANscreen provides immediate business value within hours
Onaro | 09 March 2007, 10:00 | Storage management | View Preview
The challenge to delivering storage services lies in the fact that while IT's customers are requesting service, IT's view of its network storage environment is device-centric. Switches, hosts and arrays all have their own configuration elements that can be managed through storage resource management (SRM) applications. But these elements alone do not create a storage service. Storage services are actually created through a combination of devices and the interdependencies among them. No single device or combination of devices can provide a service-centric view.
Consider, for example, the challenge of understanding the exact service level provided to a host on the storage network. The host is connected to the storage network through an adapter card. The adapter card connects to a cable that terminates at a port on a switch somewhere in the network. Inside the switch, the storage traffic is routed to another port on the switch. A new cable carries this traffic to the storage array. Once inside the storage array, the traffic is routed to the appropriate physical storage device. Meanwhile some portions of the array are replicated to an offsite BC facility.

ISOGG Y-DNA Haplogroups
An excellent resource for keeping up to date on the various haplogroups, their sub-clades, and on what criteria they are based.
A few post-testing analysis options
A few of the many options for post-result analysis of your results.
"R" Statistical Program
The "R" statistical program is needed for the Euro-DNA-Calc to work.
Dieneke's Euro-DNA-Calc page
An update of the calculator, and other information.
Haplogroup Predictor - for STR Y-DNA (FamilytreeDNA)
This Haplogroup Predictor is several years old, but can provide a suggested Haplogroup. Carefully check the actual letters and numbers against both 2008 and 2012 listings to see if a change has been made.
Sharing 23and Me Y-Chromosome Data
Another approach to sharing 23andMe data.
FTDNA's List of Mutations for mtDNA Haplogroups
FamilytreeDNA page with links to the different mtDNA Haplogroups, listing the mutations needed to fit that group.
Interpretome - for 23andMe Analysis
Interpretome is designed for uploading and analyzing your 23andMe file.
Interpretome Commentary
Suggestions on using Interpretome.
For analysis and comparison of FamilytreeDNA data.
Like Ysearch, this was set up by FTDNA for post-testing of results. Allows for HRV1 and HRV2 values.
Open SNP
Open SNP is designed for sharing of SNP data, such as from 23andME. Site owners actively lay out the case for SNP sharing.
Sorenson Databases
The Sorenson database has about 100,000 Y-DNA results and 75,000 mtDNA results.
Using 23andMe mtDNA data with Sorenson Database
Provides a way to compare 23andME data with that in the Sorenson database.
Promethease is a program to run results such as from 23andMe to unlock more information, and compare it with a database. For a $2 fee per run, further features are also released. Readers should be aware that it is more geared to producing medical results than family genealogy results.
Using Promethease
Using Promethease - only bother if you really plan on using this software.
23andYOU - Additional Tools
This page on 23andYOU provides link to a variety of 3rd party analysis sites for your data.
James Lick MtDNA Analysis
Has a slightly confusing interface, but basically add your 23andMe mtDNA file (with .txt ending) and see what the results say. Interesting discussion on results, and points out any no-calls or deviations from the standard.
FTDNA - Number of Markers to Test in Y-DNA
An excellent FAQ page on the comparative accuracy of 12, 25, 37 markers for Y-DNA

And you were saying?!
January 12th, 2006 by ido, Filed under: Commentary, Full Disclosure
Recently we finished another boring week with 90% SQL Injections and simple XSSes, and arrived to a more interesting event: "Yet another" Microsoft bug that is been exploited before Microsoft thought to notifying anyone about it or fix it.
As one of the writers at SecuriTeam, I get emails (and comments) about "why do you publish information about vulnerability X when the vendor has not yet fixed the vulnerability ?".
Well the problems with the vendors are not just Microsoft, but also Oracle, Cisco, and well almost (if not all) of the other vendors. The big vendors have created something that they call "Responsible Disclosure" where *they* decide if, when and how the vulnerabilities are going to be published (or not).
It may sound a good idea right? the vendor actually wants to fix the vulnerabilities that were found by the researchers (or should I say "hackers" for the newspapers?) and only when the situation is right, they release a fix and an advisory.
Amm.. lets see… Mike Lynn found a vulnerability on Cisco products that affects many of the Internet servers, and that can cause the internet to be actually "down" (what happened to the idea that even with nuclear war, the Internet will survive?). And Cisco on their side, are not going to fix this vulnerability soon, because it requires from people to actually replace the core of Cisco products.
So Cisco filed a lawsuit against Mr. Lynn because of that vulnerability. Now instead of investing their resources on fixing the problem, their resources goes to PR and lawyers. HEY! the truth is still out there (like X files used to say).
Someone can still take advantage of it! It did not go away!
The fact that the vulnerability is not publicly known does not mean that no one can take advantage of it. It just means that it's harder, nearly impossible to protect against it. And that's before situations where the vendor does not accept the fact that there is a vulnerability on his product, and disavow the vulnerability or the researcher.
Now if a researcher does publish the vulnerability, then the customers (users) will require from the vendor to actually fix the problem. So now we can have a chance of fixing the problem, something that was impossible to have before.
Another problem is that many of the users out there (most of them, btw, do not read SecuriTeam )still did not fixed old vulnerabilities, not to mention newer ones… so why do they worry about Full disclosure of 0days in the first place ?!

I recently received some emails asking what is best for home fitness: exercise bike or treadmill. There is no doubt these two are among the most popular home exercise equipment, and there is also no doubt that both of them are significant calory burners. However, in order to do the right decision for you you should take in consideration the budget you have at your disposal, the long term sustainability of the equipment, the quality, the type of workout you are expecting and the effectiveness of it and the safety of the machine you are looking to buy.
Make it more interesting
The biggest obstacle with home exercising is how to keep motivation high in order to stick with the plan. On one hand, home exercising is more convenient as you don't to have drive to the gym to use the exercise bike or treadmill. However, on the other hand, exercising at home requires much more discipline as you can get easily distracted by different things in your home. The key to stick with your exercising plan and have high motivation is having fun; you have to look forward for your next workout. Being realistic, looking at the on-board computer and checking how many calories have you burnt or your heart rate will be interesting just for the first couple of weeks. But let's look at each piece of exercise equipment and what makes them interesting and fun:
Treadmill Fun Level
On the treadmill you are able to run and walk, and these are the only two things you can possibly do on that piece of machine. You can change the speed and in the case of inclined treadmill you can change the inclination which isn't exactly fun but it's at least different and for someone might represent a challenge, but in general it's not the workout many are dreaming.
On a treadmill you can't read as you are bouncing up and down and cannot concentrate on a sentence. On the other hand, you could possibly listen to music, watch television or a movie but again, you have the bouncing and the noise of the treadmill.
Exercise Bike Fun level
On a stationary bike you are much more likely to be able to find more activities to do during your workout without much disturbance. You can for example watch your favorite TV show, movie, read a book, listen to music, play video-games and even watching around you and possibly talking to other persons: all this is possible as you are not jumping up and down on your feet.
In addition, some exercise bikes come with various programmed bike routes and you could be sprinting, going uphill, and have several changes in resistance during a single workout without the need to constantly change and pressing buttons. You can even select random routes so you don't know what is coming.
Recumbent exercise bikes are much more comfortable and in case of upright exercise bikes you could be encountering some difficulties related to treadmills. In any case, whatever type of stationary bike you decide to choose you are far more likely to stick with your workout routine than in the case of the treadmill
Effectiveness of the Workout
i.e. how many calories are you going to bun out. Well, according to a study conducted by NordicTrack, in an hour of workout with the same intensity on a treadmill most people were consuming 750 calories while on the exercise bike only 550 calories, all things being equal. However, this is just a part of the equation, and you have to take in consideration several other factors, as explained in the initial paragraph.
As exercise bikes are more fun, you are probably going to use them in the long run. This means, even if you are more likely to burn calories on the treadmill you are also more likely to give up using it. In addition, it is also very important to take in consideration the duration of your home workout: if you are more likely to do an hour of workout on the stationary bike and you cannot force yourself to do half an hour on the treadmill, the equation is very simple: you are burning more calories in one session.
The main difference between exercise bike and treadmill lies in its safety, which is in a sense related to comfort as well.
- I recently had a very good discussion with a personal trainer who said she would rather exercise on a cardio equipment that fits her body needs and that she enjoys than suffer on an equipment that burns more calories but she doesn't like and hurts her joints. In the case of a treadmill especially knees and junctions are put under pressure while in the case of an exercise bike less stress is put on your joint as it supports your weight but still allows to get a high impact form cardio workout.
- You can fall from a treadmill while it is almost impossible to fall from an exercise bike. Although people think that you have to be very clumsy in order to fall while walking it happens more than you think especially if you get involved in listening music beats or watching television
- In case of an exercise bike, when you experience a non-workout injury like neck or back you can still continue to do your workout on a daily basis, especially if you use a recumbent exercise bike. Let's be sincere – once you stop it is very tough to start exercising again
As explained, each cardio machine has its advantages and disadvantages. Treadmill continue to be the most used piece of cardio equipment at home due to higher impact on burning calories. However, stationary bikes have shown to be more fun, comfortable and safer then treadmills.
My final advice is to choose something that you feel is comfortable to you and that you are pretty sure you can stick with the workout in the long run.
If your decision is an exercise bike, click here to read more reviews but you definitely want to see my review of the best buy recumbent exercise bike.
On the other hand if you decided to go for a treadmill, check on Amazon as you can always find the best deal there.
Bestsellers for these categories on Amazon are the LifeSpan Fitness TR3000i Folding Treadmill and the Exerpeutic 300SR Foldable Recumbent Bike
