Definitions for gumshoeˈgʌmˌʃu
This page provides all possible meanings and translations of the word gumshoe
Random House Webster's College Dictionary
Slang. a detective.
Category: Status (usage)
a rubber overshoe.
Category: Clothing
(v.i.)Slang. to work as a detective.
Category: Status (usage)
Origin of gumshoe:
Princeton's WordNet
dick, gumshoe, hawkshaw(noun)
someone who is a detective
arctic, galosh, golosh, rubber, gumshoe(noun)
a waterproof overshoe that protects shoes from water or snow
A sneaker or rubber overshoe.
A detective.
Gumshoe is a 1971 film, and was the directorial debut of British director Stephen Frears. Written by local author Neville Smith, who appears as Arthur, the film is set in Liverpool with Albert Finney playing the role of Eddie Ginley. Ginley is a bingo-caller and occasional club comedian who dreams of being a private eye of the kind he knows from films and pulp novels. Having put an advertisement in a local newspaper as a birthday present to himself, Ginley is suddenly contacted for what appears to be an actual piece of detective work... The film has many comic moments as it switches between detective novel and affectionate spoof. It has some shots of Liverpool buildings that have long since been demolished, including the employment exchange on Leece Street. Gumshoe was the first of two films with original music scores by Andrew Lloyd Webber. Some of the music was re-used in Lloyd Webber's musical version of Sunset Boulevard. Several scenes in the London part of the narrative take place in and around Paul Brunton's famous occult bookstore, The Atlantis Bookshop. Despite its relatively lightweight tone, Frears' film is not without its contentious moments. TV broadcasts are nowadays rare because of Ginley's use of racist language and insults. Another scene was significantly shortened before release because of its detailed depiction of a heroin-user preparing and taking his 'fix'.

Download Race Tips
and a detailed course descriptions from 2007 winner Erik Borgnes
"Stand Up Paddle racing around the Midwest last year, I knew I had to help bring SUP racing to the most epic paddle venue on the Great Lakes: The Chicago Shoreline. I'm so excited to be a part of making World Paddle Association SUP racing a part of the Chicago Shoreline Marathon. It's going to be great to see all these amazing paddle athletes, whether on SUP, surfski, OC- or kayak, racing up the shoreline. This is going to be an awesome event!"
Matt Lennert
Chicago, 2012
"In the shortest and simplest way: Chicago is fantastic! The concept of racing the shoreline is brilliant. It's a long one, a marathon in its own right, but it seems to fly by as you work your way from one beach stop to the next. All too soon the race is over.
... the run down with the wind was world class with some fantastic bumps pushing us along. I really really had a fun time."
Dawid Mocke
Fish Hoek, South Africa, 2009
"Well, for those of you that slept in late on Saturday AM, you missed a truly world class race…"
"…it was about the most well organized and professionally run race I've been in. The course was varied, challenging, scenic. Beautiful sandy beaches in Chicago? - you bet! You definitely have to put this one on your calendar next year."
Erik Borgnes
Sturgeon Bay, WI - 2007
"On a sunny Saturday in September, 37 paddlers lined up in the glassy Calumet Harbour on the south side. Chicago is known as "the Windy City," although some say the title refers more to the blustery promises made by shady politicians than the fierce gusts that can whip the 494-km (307 mile) long lake into a turbulent inland sea.
Well, the skyline was still stunning when the horn sounded on Saturday at 9 AM, but the wind was virtually non-existent, as were the powerboats. The lake that's slightly larger than Croatia had become the world's largest duck pond. Flat meant more pain and less fun but it also meant that the top dogs took it out easier. In fact, for the first 2K I was able to sit with Dawid Mocke and Bevan Manson - a spot on the paddling map where I felt rather pleased to be."
Joe Glickman
New York, NY, - 2008
"Thanks to Tim Flentye (and company) for hosting such an extremely well organized event…"
"…all the preparation and attention to safety and organizational detail was certainly noticed.
I hope to be back next year for an even bigger event."
Ken Kortkamp
San Francisco, CA - 2007
Thanks to Our Sponsors
A little bit of Mother Nature and a lot of Bureaucratic red tape conspired to see that the sixth annual race never officially happened. The following is a chronicle of the lead-up to race day and how some made lemons into lemonade...
8.9 Thursday evening -The marine forecast is calling for conditions that many racers and race organizers might not welcome.
923 Am Cdt Fri Aug 10 2012
.gale warning in effect until 9 pm cdt this evening...
Rest of today.. North gales to 35 kt. Chance of waterspouts in the morning. Numerous showers and a chance of Thunderstorms in the morning... then slight chance of showers in the afternoon. Waves 7 to 10 ft building to 10 to 14 ft.
Tonight.. North gales to 35 kt diminishing to winds to 30 kt. Slight chance of showers in the evening. Waves 10 to 14 ft subsiding to 8 to 12 ft.
8.10 Friday morning -while some might consider these conditions forbidding, others see the potential for some epic Great Lakes downwind. Michael Booth was kind enough to strap on his Go Pro and capture some video
Who said there was no wind in Chicago - Lake Michigan Downwind from Michael Booth on Vimeo.
Tim snapped this pic that gives a pretty good idea of the conditions.
8.10 approx 3:00pm - Three rescued, two missing in Lake Michigan off Sheboygan North Pier.
news story >>
8.10 3:30pm - CSM race director receives a call from the Chicago Park District. CPD informs us that due to weather, they are closing ALL Chicago beaches. And that all beach permits for Friday and Saturday had been revoked. We asked about possibly reevaluating conditions Saturday. CPD said NO. We asked about postponing the race until Sunday. CPD said NO. They went on to inform us that anyone attempting to enter the water would be arrested.
8.10 5:00pm - After considering all our options, and with no viable alternatives, CSM organizers make the announcement. CSM 2012 is officially canceled.
8.10 Fri. Evening - Dawid tweets out a the following challenge...
8.11 Saturday morning - Meanwhile, about 30ks further north, a group of 11 have come together to answer the Dawid Mocke challenge. A gallery of photos taken that morning is here
In addition to the gallery there is a terrific story penned by one of the participants, Joe Glickman. Joe's story can be seen at www.sufski.info
"Unofficial race" results:
1st Jasper Mocke
2nd Dawid Mocke
3rd Sean Rice
4th Michael
5th Joep van Bakel
Dorian Wolters,
Reid Hyle,
Rob Hartman, Mark Anich, Joe Glickman and Eric Mims.
8.11 Saturday morning - The Mocke challenge wasn't the only "race" going on. There were others able to take advantage of the excellent downwind conditions. Check out the great video footage here featuring Zach Handler, Nick Murray, and Simon Longdill.
If there is any consolation to be had for CSM organizers, it is that we had a nice turnout for our lunch and that a handful were still able to have a good day on our lake.
For all skill levels, the ideal race for Recreational SUP Racers, and Club or Corporate Teams
Stand Up Paddle Board racers will complete a single lap of a 3-mile buoy-marked course.
Kayak Relay teams will have four paddlers and each paddler will complete one 3-mile leg of the race. This 4-leg relay will start on Leone Beach. Each participant will complete a series of laps around a buoy-marked course, then return to switch paddlers for the second leg and so on.

Park House – sometimes referred to as the Senior girls house is run by Mrs Cleaton, who is also the exams officer at school. The assistant houseparent is Mrs Martin who works at Stover Prep School.
Park house has 41 beds, and the house is a majority of senior girls, with rooms and dorms ranging from 1 – 7 beds. Year 13 students are allocated the small number of single rooms but many choose to share.
Being the 'senior house', the girls are afforded a little more freedom whilst maintaining a well-structured and nurturing environment. A key focus in Park house is academic rigour, with many of the girls heading on to University. The 6th form area of the house has its own kitchen where the girls can practice for those University days!
The common room is the hub of the house with a kitchen area, TV and computers.

Posted on 13/09/2013 by Phillip Island Nature Parks
Between now and late September, before the short-tailed shearwaters arrive back to their borrows, Phillip Island Nature Parks will undertake a planned burn in accordance with the Nature Parks' Fire Management Plan. The planned burn is conducted as part of the Bass Coast Municipal Fire Management Plan and will occur on days with suitable weather conditions. Conducting planned burns during spring assists with fire prevention and ecological management.
Where (and size):
- Plateau Centre- Cape Woolamai: 3.75 hectares in size
The burn will be carried out by trained staff and according to strict procedures and protocols. The Nature Parks will work closely with neighbours, The Department of Environment and Primary Industries, Country Fire Authority and Bass Coast Shire Council before the burns take place.
The planned burns help reduce ground fuel and bark loads; remove weed biomass; and promote specific rare or threatened plant regeneration. Mosaic burns promote an increase in biodiversity in the landscape and allow for wildlife refuge areas during burns. The goal across woodland reserves is to burn most of the reserve over a 7-10 year cycle depending on vegetation types. This timing is very important to the diversity of the reserve.
Be fire ready:
While this work is taking place across the Nature Parks, it is also crucial that individuals take action to plan for their own safety. It has been a relatively wet year but we cannot afford to be complacent as grass and new growth quickly dries out and adds to the fuel loads. The Nature Parks urges you to become fire ready by visiting the CFA website at www.cfa.vic.gov.au.
Fire preparedness is a joint responsibility within our community and we look forward to working with you to reduce the possibility of fire risk with a proactive approach, whilst still retaining the natural beauty and biodiversity of Phillip Island.
Planned burns for Cape Woolamai in late September

TOPEKA, Kan. - Authorities say tornadoes have touched down in Wichita, Kan., and a suburb of Oklahoma City but there are no immediate reports of injuries or significant damage.
Sedgwick County, Kan., emergency management director Randy Duncan says officials are "very grateful" about the few reports of damage from the tornado that touched down near Wichita Mid-Continent Airport shortly before 4 p.m. CDT Sunday.
A tornado also reportedly grazed the Oklahoma City suburb of Edmond before heading toward a sparsely populated area. There were reports of debris but no injuries or traffic crashes.
The National Weather Service described the tornado as "large, violent and extremely dangerous" and said it was moving northeast at 30 mph.
The tornadoes are part of a large storm system moving through the Plains and upper Midwest.

New Data on the Moon Might Change What Scientists Know About Earth
Scientists are reporting that the moon might be younger than previously thought, which could change what they know about Earth's early history as well.
In a meeting about the origins of the moon, scientists discussed the leading theory of its creation, citing new evidence that suggests it might have formed 100 million years later than was originally thought.
You Might Have Dreamed About Living in the World of Super Mario Bros. – Well, These Guys Actually Did It
You can probably sing the intro to its digitized theme song on command – Da-da-da-da-da-da —dum-dum-dum.
You — or your children — might have even dressed up as one of the main characters for Halloween.
The classic Nintendo game that rolled out in the 1980s and has evolved since has been a dream world for gamers.
But a pair of stunt men made the Mario Bros. dream a reality.
Sen. Chuck Grassley suggests heads might roll over NSA overreach
Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) isn't promising that heads are going to roll over the recent audit of the NSA, showing that the agency has overstepped its legal authority thousands of times a year. He is acknowledging, though, that in Washington, D.C., heads have to roll before rogue agencies can be reformed. Unfortunately, the administration has a sad history of sending the wrong heads rolling and then rearranging a few desks in a meaningless "reassignment."
This might hurt: Former director of scandal-ridden IRS unit now heading agency's Obamacare office
When the president hopped on stage yesterday evening to announce that acting IRS commissioner Steven Miller would be spending more time with his family, it didn't take long for people to realize that 1) Miller was leaving anyway and 2) he was appointed to the post after the scandalous activities noted in the inspector general's report were set in action. So what happened to the person who actually was in charge of the tax-exempt unit when the IRS was targeting conservative groups?
Zapping Brain With Laser Might Pose an 'Unconventional' Treatment for Cocaine Addiction
With an estimated 1.4 million Americans addicted to cocaine, scientists think they might have come up with an "unconventional" treatment that could help cure the addiction that often places an economic burden on society and results in heart attacks and strokes.
Researchers with the National Institutes of Health, the Ernest Gallo Clinic and the Research Center at University of California-San Francisco successfully tested a method in rats that cures the addiction by zapping the brain with a laser.

Hugh Michael Jackman (born 12 October 1968) is an Australian actor and producer who is involved in film, musical theatre, and television.
Jackman has won international recognition for his roles in major films, notably as action/superhero, period and romance characters. He is known for his role as Wolverine in the X-Men film series, as well as for his leads in Kate & Leopold, Van Helsing, The Prestige, Australia, and Real Steel. Jackman is a singer, dancer, and actor in stage musicals, and won a Tony Award for his role in The Boy from Oz.
In November 2008, Open Salon named Jackman one of the sexiest men alive. Later that same month, People magazine named Jackman "Sexiest Man Alive."
A three-time host of the Tony Awards, winning an Emmy Award for one of these appearances, Jackman also hosted the 81st Academy Awards on 22 February 2009.
Jackman was born in Sydney, New South Wales, the youngest of five children of English parents Chris Jackman and Grace Watson, and the second child to be born in Australia (he also has a younger half-sister, from his mother's re-marriage). One of his paternal great-grandfathers was Greek. His parents divorced when he was eight, and he remained with his accountant father and siblings, while his mother moved back to England. As a child, Jackman liked the outdoors, spending a lot of time at the beach and on camping trips and vacations all over Australia. He wanted to see the world: "I used to spend nights looking at atlases. I decided I wanted to be a chef on a plane. Because I'd been on a plane and there was food on board, I presumed there was a chef. I thought that would be an ideal job."

Hedging its betâthis is reported to be the biggest launch in Unilever's historyâthe firm is superimposing its new Carb Options brand onto some of its existing soup, sauce, pasta and cereal lines. In addition, the new products were developed in Australia for Australian tastes.
Although the U.S. firm Atkins Nutritionals has been feeling the burn of growing competition and shrinking consumer demand for low-carb products, Unilever's Australasian chairman Peter Slator asserted, "If our estimates are correct, we would hope to see the [low-carb] market grow to the tune of $50 million in the next two years."

"Phenomenal texture and flavor! I followed this recipe in every way except I only had half & half available. This frosting is like a peanut buttery cloud, so light and slightly sweet. I doubled the recipe to frost 36 peanut butter and banana cupcakes and should have tripled it. I will certainly make it again. And again. And again!!"
"Holy cow, was this ever good! I've made it twice now and the first time I used homemade spaghetti sauce. The homemade was a thousand times better than using jarred sauce. Be sure not to overdo the cheese, like I did the second time. The flavors meld so much better if the amount of cheese goes by the recipe. Good stuff!"
"Even though I'm not a fan of meat enchiladas, these were terrific. I added cheese and olives to the meat as I rolled each one and used two cans of red enchilada sauce. Very good stuff and makes for great leftovers!"
"Wow! This is a very forgiving recipe. I forgot the white sugar and accidentally put in half the brown sugar. These were still excellent! I baked at 300 degrees for 3 hours, basting every 30 minutes. I'm in mourning because these ribs went so fast!"
"I made this with pink lemonade and baked it as a cake in a 9x13 cake pan. I added the two tablespoons of lemonade to the canned frosting, which made it a little runny, but very delicious. My family absolutely loved this cake and I'm lucky to get a second slice! Thanks, Angela, for great summery treat!"

Liberating Data, One Bridge at a Time
Approximately 1200 people attended the 2011 Semantic Technology Conference hosted in San Francisco, CA. At least a large portion – if not the majority – were first-time attendees. Products, technologies and methodologies advancing the Semantic Web (aka Web 3.0) crystallized the vision of the "web of meaning" more than ever. The focus of the community seemed rather sharp: Linked Data. As an individual who has been involved the Semantic Web since about 2001, it was rewarding and encouraging observing the steady progress in the space.
From a competency and expertise perspective, it validated my own company's focus on developing Linked Data using (W3C) RDF. I liken Linked Data to building a foundation. Concentrating here is appropriate, and an increasing number of tools augment our collective ability and efficiency to create Linked Data. Within the Linked Data construct, the conference provided a large number of examples that highlighted approaches and architectures to design, build and deploy Linked Data.

for laypersons and ministers
(Explanation of Recommendations)
Recommended by Doug Green of Westminster Theological Seminary. See all of Dr. Green's recommendations.
Staff Review: A fabulous example of Christ-centered theological exposition and application in the tradition of Westminster Theological Seminary. " Matthew Harmon, Westminster Bookstore Staff, August 2007
Publisher Description:Exodus, which is part of the NIV Application Commentary Series, helps readers learn how the message of Exodus can have the same powerful impact today that it did when it was first written.
About the NIV Application Commentary Series: Most Bible commentaries take us on a one-way trip from our world to the world of the Bible. But they leave us there, assuming that we can somehow make the return journey on our own. In other words, they focus on the original meaning of the passage but don't discuss its contemporary application. The information they offer is valuable--but the job is only half done! The NIV Application Commentary Series helps us with both halves of the interpretive task. This new and unique series shows readers how to bring an ancient message into a modern context. It explains not only what the Bible means but also how it can speak powerfully today.

Categorising knowledge: beyond phone numbers. 27 Jul 2011Posted by Tony Law in Cloud, Impact of IT, Social issues, Tech Watch, Technorati.
add a comment
Cody Burke, of Basex, blogged recently on "Overload Stories" about problems caused by the process I might call mechanisation of knowledge. Here's his scenario:
Your cell phone runs out of battery power, and you need to make a call. A friend graciously offers to let you use his phone, but as you attempt to make the call you realize that you have no idea what the actual number is of the person you are trying to reach. Now flash back 15 years and try again. Odds are you would have had much better luck, because you would have had to memorize that number, instead of relying on the contact list in your phone.
Well I'm not sure. Fifteen years ago you'd certainly have had a handful of numbers you remembered, but the rest of those you wanted to have handy would have been in your address book. If you left that behind, you'd have been in exactly the same trouble. And for wider contacts, I had shelf space for a whole row of phone books.
Burke refers to an academic study testing knowledge retention, discussing and updating the concept of "transactive memory". If I've understood it correctly, this is the way that memory operates when the datum being remembered is connected to a working group or shared task (this isn't quite the impression I got from Burke's summary ; if the idea catches your attention, follow the link to the original paper).
ITasITis always goes back to the original sources. Sparrow, Liu and Wegner, writing in Science, define transactive memory thus:
In any long term relationship, a team work environment, or other ongoing group, people typically develop a group or transactive memory [my italics], a combination of memory stores held directly by individuals and the memory stores they can access because they know someone who knows that information.
It's murderously difficult to accurately summarise academic research, but this isn't quite the impression I got from reading Burke's summary. What's interesting is Sparrow et al's conclusion: they believe their careful statistically-based investigation provides
preliminary evidence that when people expect information to remain continuously available (such as we expect with Internet access), we are more likely to remember where to find it than we are to remember the details of the item. One could argue that this is an adaptive use of memory – to include the computer and online search engines as an external memory system that can be accessed at will.
Cody Burke is fighting against the concept that we're becoming internet zombies – as if, somehow, the provision of vast online repository capability removes our human ability to recall. On the contrary, he says: we capitalise on it. There is "a natural (and uniquely) human tendency to learn where information resides and leverage that knowledge to be more effective".
Or as Sparrow et al put it:
"people forget items they think will be available externally, and remember items they think will not be available … [They] seem better able to remember which computer folder an item has been stored in than the identity of the item itself … We are becoming symbiotic with our computer tools … [We] remember less by knowing information than by knowing where the information can be found".
Two comments. When I was a student (we had computers, but not databases) I had a tutor who used to point to a row of folders on his book-case and say "There's knowledge I know; and knowledge I know where to find". Raymond Dwek predated Sparrow et al by some 45 years! And there was always, and still is, a third category: knowledge I know how to find. In the manual age this was the difference between referring to a specific article in a learned journal, and working through a whole range of likely sources to check for relevant information. Today, it's the difference between a categorised index and a relatively unstructured search. I used Google Scholar to find the Sparrow et al article, by the way – I didn't know where to find it, but I knew how.
Certainly, these days, we shift the content of those categories. Categorisation, whether it's a database structure, email folders, or keyword search, expands "knowledge I know where to find" by providing new access routes. Search is about "knowledge I know how to find". We may now not retain so many actual phone numbers in our heads, and may not even recall our own mobile number (after all, we never call our own phone!) but it's probably in the address book on our Google account or in iCloud. Information no longer lives in just one place.
And secondly: I don't speak to a phone number. I speak to a person (or sometimes, to a service). The phone number isn't information; it's meta-information (so also, sometimes, is an email address). It's the means to get to the item you really want, which is the person. And phone numbers were always artificial constructs; we're gradually doing away with them. On my desk phone, my really-most-frequent contacts are stored by name. On Skype, or Twitter, or LinkedIn, or Facebook, you contact people by their name or some hash of it, or by some identifier they've chosen to describe themselves. Not "unable to remember phone numbers"; moving beyond their use!
Human beings are tool-users. In my first IT job I used to teach programming to postgraduate students (and others) and I always emphasised that the computer is a tool; it extends the power of the human brain in the same way that a crane, for example, extends the power of the human arm. We take advantage of new tools and concepts as they arrive; and our modern array of electronic tools are no different. But this research is a good reminder to be aware of how we are developing in our use of these tools, so that those whose responsibility is to develop the tools themselves can effectively support knowledge workers and facilitate their activities.

A thoughtful piece by Aditya Chakrabortty in today's (printed) Guardian newspaper caught my attention because it analyses a feeling I've long had about the developing phone hacking scandal. Phone hacking: a classic case of corporate failure? explains succinctly why those at the top may be genuinely ignorant of specific abuses undertaken in their name; but the culture which they engender is nonetheless directly responsible for it. Chakrabortty uses the phrase ethical fade to capture the slide from honest journalism (or policing, or politics) to a culture where results are all that matter and the means are not questioned.
The same edition covers the death of the News of the World reporter who first let the cat out of the bag. A very personal tribute by Nick Davies, the Guardian reporter who pursued the story, shows how ethical fade operates. Sean Hoare was part of it: but recognised, in the end, what was happening.
And a flashback to less than three weeks ago gives a snapshot of the relationship between the various groups now at the heart of the scandal: politics and media together at a Murdoch party.
Charkrabortty's article widens the discussion. He uses an example from the Ford Motor Company where, rather than recall and fix an identified safety problem with a particular car, they set aside money for lawsuits. They ended up having to do the recall anyway. My own favourite example is the Challenger space disaster: same cause, in that nobody would tell the project leaders what they needed to hear (and this included the inquiry; it was Richard Feynman's famous minority report which nailed it). We saw it last year in BP, in the Gulf of Mexico, after then-CEO Tony Hayward had told the AGM in so many words that "BP is now a safe company". Somewhere down the line, the pressure for results drives disastrous mistakes to be made. There's even a question now whether News Corporation will follow Enron and Lehman down the tubes.
But this is an IT blog. What's it got to do with us?
The political dimension to the News International crisis is about influence.And about the way people work at influencing the influencers. Well, that activity is a major part of the enterprise IT ecosystem. Unlike some, we don't hide it: we call it Analyst Relations or AR.
One of the things I learned when managing an enterprise IT insight services portfolio was to look behind the claims of objectivity and independence that all insight services people offer – everyone from Gartner and Forrester to the smaller providers. I remember first encountering AR in the person of an AR professional at a METAmorphosis event (that dates it!): someone who worked for one of the major software companies and whose role, quite openly, was to present that company's products and strategies in the most positive light. Because the insight companies influence buying decisions, sometimes very strongly: so AR is a crucial element of an IT vendor's marketing strategy.
As a purchaser, user and advocate of insight services, I needed to know this stuff. You observe that a significant element of the costs of larger and smaller insight events is met by vendors through direct sponsorship, through buying space at the associated expo, by providing speakers, through their attendance fee levels and more. You observe that their Consulting arms do commissioned work for vendors – and in a line of work now where I don't have a subscription, those reports are valuable sources, but for the providers they're an income stream. You realise that vendors will try and ensure good outcomes from the lab tests that deliver marketplace assessments such as the well-respected Magic Quadrant, insofar as the process will let them. There's this whole ecosystem dedicated to influencing the influencers.
Well, by no means am I saying that AR is unethical. In fact, far from it. The point about the current political mess is that we are realising how much has been going on away from the public view. Analyst Relations is an overt process, with colleagues such as Lighthouse and KCG offering training and certification in its activities. No-one pretends it isn't happening, though I'd guess that a lot of enterprise buyers don't realise how extensive an activity it is.
But let's not believe "it couldn't happen to us" or that we couldn't undergo ethical fade. In Chakrabortty's words:
… managers, shareholders and staff [don't] necessarily set out to do bad things. They simply [get] swept along on a culture of hitting targets – and not asking too many questions.
Feynman, in his context, put it succinctly:
For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for nature cannot be fooled.
It's not just technology where this applies. Reality is hitting the influencing industry now. So read Chakrabortty. Let's make sure we keep on asking the questions. And for enterprise buyers out there: learn more about your insight provider's influence ecosystem (InformationSpan has a model for it, if you want to ask!). Read the piece; it's worth it.

Google+ initial impressions 12 Jul 2011Posted by Tony Law in Uncategorized.
add a comment
So I now have my Google+ profile up, and found a handful of friends already there. Just from a quick look round, here are some first impressions.
First: the Circles concept is potentially the most useful new idea. Neither LinkedIn nor Facebook allows you to partition your set of contacts in this way. So, for the first time, there's a place where both professional and personal contacts (and, perhaps, subdivisions of both) can co-exist without all your feeds going willy-nilly to all of them (yes, it has the "friends" and "friends of friends" concept t00).
Second, it offers chat. There's also an invitation to "hang out" with friends on a webcam; not yet tried, but presumably could be used for things other than "have fun". Watch out Skype, as my circles expand.
Third, you can "follow" people you don't know directly and who you don't include in your circles. Target: Twitter, I assume, as well as LinkedIn.
Oh, and you can "go mobile" – Android is the only native version right now, iOS will be supported, and other phones can get access through the browser.
We'll see how it goes!

Total Economic Impact: a full case study 12 Jul 2011Posted by Tony Law in Cloud, Insight services, IT marketplace, ITasITis, Managing IT, Technorati.
add a comment
Forrester's Total Economic Impact methodology has been around for some time now; Chip Gliedman and his colleagues must have trained many IT executives in its application, its models, and its succinct elevator business case ("We are doing X to make Y better, as measured by Z, which is worth $N to the company").
But training, and the examples within the training course, only go so far. A note in one of my regular alerts led me to a full case study, commissioned from Forrester Consulting by Cisco. It's a valuable read. It's a fictitious case, of course ("Company A" style), but it goes right through the whole analysis, as well as including a summary of the methodology itself
Cisco wanted to illustrate the case for their "Borderless Networks" technology. I've long been a believer in this methodology, not least because it captures opportunity costs and benefits, and puts cash value on risk. So it's interesting that Cisco chose TEI as the vehicle to make this case.
Read it if:
• you want to know more about TEI than is available in Forrester's summaries; you have to pay for the training course (or get access through a subscription)
• you know about TEI and want to see how a full evaluation works
• you're looking at facilitating what Cisco describe as "secure, reliable, and seamless connectivity to any device, [to] any person, and in any location"
You'd need to research the Borderless Networks concept separately; this document is about the business case, and might well be useful independent of Cisco's own technology.

Following on from my posting about Google+ (which I'm now subscribed to, thanks to Zachary Reiss-Davies of Forrester, so watch this space …) – you've probably also noticed that your personal Google pages have had a makeover.

Will Google+ finally turn the search giant social? 8 Jul 2011Posted by Tony Law in ITasITis, Social issues, Tech Watch, Technorati.
add a comment
Some time ago, when the Web was first emerging as a transformational force for business, the CIO of our company envisaged a tsunami wave that could overwhelm companies who didn't recognise the impact of the change. Google didn't exist then. But a year or two later, as the quantity of information available online exploded, the new effectiveness of their search strategies became part of what made the Web usable.
When the telephone was invented, people thought it would be used to broadcast concerts and church services. But this, and every network technology from then on, has been taken over as a medium for social communication. The Web is no different. Yes, search and online commerce and enterprise operations are all there. But social computing is the big one. And somehow Google has never quite made it in that space; think Open Social, the attempt to create a single transferable identity; or Google Wave, aiming to re-invent email. The "place to be" is Facebook (or, in the professional space, LinkedIn) and Google doesn't have a stake there.
So the fairly muted announcements of Google Plus, this week, have been greeted mainly with a "wait and see" response from commentators and from the press pundits. Partly because, at the moment, Plus is available only on a limited trial released to those same pundits. And partly because the project – apparently codenamed Emerald Sea – is much wider than what's been released so far. Google are aiming for a slow feed, this time, rather than a razzmatazz announcement.
From the reviews (I haven't seen the real product) it does look as if Plus has taken some of the Facebook thinking back to first base. It provides an easy ability to organise your network into different "circles" with a clean visual interface ("Drag people to your circles to follow and share"). Jason Hiner, in TechRepublic, picks on this straight away as a vast improvement over both Facebook and Twitter; not all your feeds need go to all your friends, which makes a lot of sense. And some of your Circles can be two way (mutual follow, like Facebook) while others can be one-way (Twitter).
In the longer term, Hiner sees Plus in a different arena to Facebook or Twitter. He reminds us that Google's goal is about "making the world's information accessible and useful", so social information helps search deliver effective results. Hence Plus will not be a "walled garden" like Facebook, but will need to extend across the Web. He sees it operating across everyone else's websites: not so much a service you "go to" as one that turns up as an overlay on everything you do. You need to read down the review to find this vision, but it's worth thinking about.
Read the Google Blog post (and perhaps watch its several embedded videos) alongside Hiner's review. Envisage the possibilities – for business personal interactions as well as personal personal ones. Gartner have a short more formal note out, which (at the moment at least) is accessible to those with guest accounts on gartner.com. But its recommendations are targetted at other providers in this space, not at consumers. There's more information in the news articles or Google's own information. But those who are thinking business might want to look at Zachary Reiss-Davis's discussion thread in the Forrester Community: his take is that "For B2B marketers, I think you should join it, and experiment with it, simply to see what the new tool is, and how you can potentially use it to collaborate with your your peers and colleagues, as its privacy settings (via circles) are extremely well done."
And just a footnote. This week's events in UK journalism have reminded us that the tsunami you don't see coming can wipe out a major brand overnight. What happened to the News of the World is, in those terms, the same as happened to Lehman Brothers. And it doesn't have to be through malfeasance. Not seeing the way the world is going can have the same effect. Google seems to have seen the social tsunami coming. Will Plus enable them to ride it?

Notes from the consumer cloud 5 Jul 2011Posted by Tony Law in IT marketplace, Managing IT, Social issues, Tech Watch, Technorati, Uncategorized.
add a comment
Catching up after a holiday and a very busy patch, there's some informative stuff in my inbox which I haven't had time fully to digest yet but which is worth a mention. I'm hoping some readers might spend time on it and comment, or link to your own posts!
First, Amazon's Cloud forum in London last month. I registered for this but unfortunately wasn't able to attend. However, the content's now up on the Web and there are tracks there for the Cloud newbie, the established developer, and the strategist/architect looking for a guided tour. There are strategic surveys, customer case studies, and discussion of the practical issues like Microsoft licensing (which always comes up). Take a look.
Secondly, the Cloud Leadership Forum hosted by IDC and its parent company IDG. Again, useful strategic material; not all the presentations are on line but some are. A couple of key messages from the opening keynote. First: we move to delivering services, not appplications; I've heard this transformation described in exactly these terms from other enterprise IT executives. Secondly: architecture moves beyond the firewall. Leaders have caught on to this; but the challenges of doing it are still leaving others in denial and aiming to host everything in-house (though of course, some sensitive areas will always have to do this). Internal IT, these IDC leaders think, will become brokers for Cloud services. It's thoroughly disruptive, demanding understanding and exploitation of the public cloud, mobile services, the online social revolution, what they call "big data", and more. There's stuff about governance, effectiveness and more. Authoritative, and worth a look.
Then in a related space, another IDC blog note reviews the contribution made by the outgoing US Federal CIO in espousing (not to say pushing) not only cloud, but leverage of employee-owned devices (particularly mobile) and the public application support infrastructure (app stores) that now surrounds them; and for open-ness with data. If US government can do it, what does that say to the reluctant adopters in the enterprise? There's also Gartner research, at the moment on open access to Guest accounts, under the heading "iPad and Beyond"; there are separate tabs there for "Tablets in Business" and "Enterprise Applications" and featuring Gene Alvarez and Dave Cearley. A chance to catch up on what Gartner are thinking, for those without subscriptions, following their conversion from the anathema position!

Whoopee cushions and prank phone calls were fun when you were young, but now that's kid stuff. If you pull one of these pranks now at the office, you end up looking like a child.
However, with Halloween just around the corner, the climate is right for a good prank or two, even at the stuffiest office. What's more, pulling a good computer prank makes you look smart and sophisticated – at least if you do it right.
Here are five pranks that will keep you and your co-workers rolling.
Blue Screen Of Death Screensaver
Every PC computer nerd knows the blue screen of death. At best, the blue screen means that you've lost some or all of the project you were just working on. At worst, it means your hard drive has crashed and all your data is lost (but you've got backups, right?).
As a pranksters, you can have some fun by finding a "blue screen of death" screensaver. When your target returns from their lunch meeting, it will seem as if their computer crashed. Bonus points if you can draw your victim away from their computer in the middle of a project, have a friend setup the screensaver, and then follow them back to their computer to hear them say "Oh mannnn!"
Troika Virus For Macs
Mac computers are known for being virus proof, but that has come to an end thanks to Troika.
Like some of the first PC viruses, Troika doesn't actually harm a computer. Instead, it causes all of the toolbars and desktop icons to collapse on top of one another.
This is an especially great prank to play on someone who has a laptop because the icons will collapse in the direction of gravity. This means that if the laptop is tilted to the side, all of the icons will move to that direction.
While the virus is completely harmless, Mac users will be stumped as to how to remove it. "Hello, Genius Bar?"
Restarting Rampage
This prank is super simple to implement and incredibly aggravating, but it's only funny when you're target knows a little something about Windows. Otherwise, it's just mean.
Start by right-clicking the Firefox or Google Chrome icons on your victim's desktop and select "properties," followed by "target." Paste the following code:
%windir%system32shutdown.exe -r -t 00
into the box and hit "apply." Now every time the program is launched, the computer will restart! It might take them hours to figure this one out!
Reversing the damage is as easy as deleting the code, but since most computer users will assume a virus is behind the sudden shutdowns, very few bother to check the target property. "Somebody call IT!"
Freaky Start Up Messages
Another great way to toy with a fellow nerd is to create a personalized start up message. This prank goes great with restarting rampage, but can be done separately if preferred.
To start the prank, users should open the "Windows Startup" folder. Next, create a text file with a disturbing message, such as "Hello Jake. That's a very nice shirt you're wearing. Is it new?" The message will then be displayed each time the computer is booted up.
This is also great when you want to tease a technically challenged co-worker…just remember, ANYONE who starts the computer will see the message, so you might want to keep it clean.
Mystery Alarm for Super-Tabbers
Do you know someone who has dozens of tabs open in their browser at any one time? If so, this prank is super simple and yet super satisfying. All you have to do is open a tab and visit OnlineClock.net. Once there, set an alarm to go off at an inconvenient time, such as during a meeting or in the middle of a conference call. Your victim might be savvy enough to turn down their computer's volume, but even if they do, they're still going to have to figure out where this alarm is coming from. It's a safe bet that checking all of their open tabs will be far down on the list of items they check.
Even better, OnlineClock.net also works for cellphones. Pranksters can maximize the desired effect by setting both computer and cellphone alarms to go off at the same time. All you have to do then is sit back and watch your victim struggle to mute these simultaneous noises without knowing where they're coming from.
Author Laurie Mellson is an amateur prankster who helps promote OnlineClock.net. Be sure to check out the site's online stopwatch too – see http://stopwatch.onlineclock.net. There's not a lot of prank value on that stopwatch, but it's nice for timing calls, meetings, etc.

Could it be that Dermalogica is finally coming around on their use of fragrant oils in their skin-care products? That seems to be the case with this anti-acne treatment lotion medicated with 5% benzoyl peroxide—the gold standard topical disinfectant for killing acne-causing bacteria.
Although this product doesn't contain Dermalogica's usual offenders such as lavender or citrus oils, it does contain the extract form of lavender. This poses a slight risk of irritation but is definitely less likely to be problematic compared to the oil form.
We're glad that this formula includes antioxidant green tea plus some very good anti-irritants, including a licorice derivative. This could be considered fragrance-free because "fragrance" isn't listed; however, the lavender contains fragrance ingredients that lend scent to this product.
Overall, this is a good though slightly pricey anti-acne option for all skin types except extra-sensitive.
Note: This product was formerly named Clean Start Hit the Spot.
Dab this powerful concentrated gel directly onto individual breakouts: formula wipes out pimple-causing bacteria deep within the pore to clear your breakout fast.
Active ingredient: Benzoyl Peroxide 5%. Other ingredients: Water / Aqua / Eau, PEG-8, Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract, Glycyrrhiza Glabra (Licorice) Root Extract, Porphyra Umbilicalis Extract, Enantia Chlorantha Bark Extract, Oleanolic Acid, Lavandula Angustifolia (Lavender) Extract, Melaleuca Alternifolia (Tea Tree) Leaf Oil, Spiraea Ulmaria Extract, Cetyl Alcohol, Sodium Acrylate/Sodium Acryloyl Dimethyl Taurate Copolymer, Polysorbate 80, Glyceryl Stearate, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Ethylhexylglycerin, Butylene Glycol, Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer, Aminomethyl Propanol, Xanthan Gum, Disodium EDTA, Phenoxyethanol.
Dermalogica's name implies a logical relationship to dermatology, which makes it sound as if you are getting serious skin care. The subtitle on their products is even more commanding: "A Skin Care System Researched and Developed by the International Dermal Institute." But what is the International Dermal Institute, you ask? Are there any dermatologists there? Apparently not: The International Dermal Institute is a Dermalogica-owned school for aestheticians who want an education beyond what is required for their cosmetology license, and the classes are taught by aestheticians.
Does the professional atmosphere of the school associated with Dermalogica mean better products? The proof is in the pudding, and this pudding is, for the most part, just Jell-O, not chocolate mousse. A company so concerned with skin-care education should be ashamed of itself for offering so many products that damage skin with known irritants and, more egregiously, offering so many sunscreens that lack sufficient UVA-protecting ingredients. Dermalogica's education-oriented, serious-minded, and clinical positioning doesn't mesh with the majority of their products, and is on par with tobacco company executives teaching an aerobics class.
According to company history, the reason Dermalogica products came to be was that founder Jane Wurwand could not find a spa-oriented skin-care line that met her criteria. She was dismayed that so many skin-care lines aimed at the aesthetics market had products that contained alcohol, artificial colors, fragrance, mineral oil, and lanolin, ingredients that she believed had a well-documented history of problems. That's true for fragrance and alcohol (and artificial colors to a lesser extent), but mineral oil and lanolin have no documented history of causing skin problems. If anything, quite the opposite is true. Further, if Dermalogica's founders were so concerned about potentially or definitively harmful ingredients, why do their products contain so many of them? Where is the research proving that lavender oil, camphor, balm mint, arnica, ginger oil, and citrus oils are helpful for skin?

The Pinedale Anticline in Wyoming, USA, has become an area of significant interest since the recent success of several gas wells completed in its tight sandstone reservoirs. Production from these reservoirs is now possible using new stimulation techniques that were developed in neighboring Jonah field. The best production rates appear to come from reservoirs enhanced by natural fractures. Therefore, a new technique that detects open natural fractures in the reservoir could help the success of future wells.
This new technique, AVAZ, uses azimuthal variations in the amplitudes of seismic data, at long shot/receiver offsets, to identify fractures. A modification of this technique has been used on a portion of Veritas' multi-client 3D survey over the Pinedale anticline to identify the presence of these fractures in the interwell region. Results of this analysis were compared to what is already known about fractures in the reservoirs of the Pinedale anticline.
