The CCN has now started a Meet Ups group to organize a regular schedule of networking sessions for entrepreneurs and corporate users to learn more about Cloud Computing.
Each session will feature one or more presentations from experts on various Cloud topics that will illustrate the value of the technology.
Cloud Search Portal
The first of these is Efrem Habteselassie, Founder of one of Canada's most exciting Cloud start-ups, Cloud Search Portal.
As the name suggests the venture demonstrates the fundamental value of the Cloud – A hosted version of very powerful software so that you can access it in an on demand, utility manner, harnessing the benefits without having to be troubled with the challenges of installing and managing it all yourself.
In this case the powerful software is Search technology, like that of Google, but in this case based on the Microsoft Sharepoint FAST system.
Social Search, Social Commerce
A great example of the value of this technology is described in an article about Walmart in this month's FAST Company magazine.
Finally (!) setting out to master e-commerce Walmart has begun to embrace the new technologies required to compete with Amazon who has been eating into their core markets online.
The executive team realized they lacked the skills for this domain, and so simply began acquiring start-ups to fill the gap. One, Kosmix, specialized in Site Search and analytics technologies, and was bought because their existing web site search feature didn't work very well at all.
This is the first and essential point. A Search feature on your site can be powered by the built-in version that comes with e-commerce software, or you can use a dedicated version. The difference? One is putting a lawnmower engine into your new Ferrari, the other lowering in an F15 jet engine.
There is a world of difference between Search platforms and what they can do for your online business, as Walmart learned. Like many they took this for granted and used the standard version, but found that when site visitors typed in 'smartphones', they'd be shown links to a couple of cell phone chargers, not the iPhone.
In short it simply didn't work very well, and as this simple example illustrates, this can dramatically impede the ability for the site to perform it's core function: Connect visitors with products they want to buy.
Walmart solved the problem by buying an entire start-up. Kosmix had developed advanced Search technologies for Amazon, and not only could it address this fundamental issue, but also offer a variety of other commerce-driving features.
In this Web 2.0 age the critical theme is "Social Commerce" – The technology can not only index all of that site, but it can also search across social media, analyzing content from Facebook and other sites to determine what your friends and family are interested in, and from this make recommendations for purchases on the Walmart site.
This other FAST Company article, the Walmart Version of Search, provides an excellent detailed review of these technologies in action.
As you can imagine these features make online shopping much easier for consumers and thus drive more sales. Wouldn't it be great to have this for your online venture?
Of course it would and there is the principle benefit of Cloud Computing – You don't have to buy your own start-up for $300m to access it, indeed you don't even have to buy the software or servers. You can now rent the same capability for a fraction of the price.
Making it possible for SMEs to compete on the same terms as Walmart = The value of Cloud Computing.

CHICAGO – Chris Rock isn't a huge writer/director, but when he does make a film, it's an event to consider. For example, he made black president tale "Head of State" long before then-senator Barack Obama was even considered for the real-life role, and whether behind the stand-up mic or in an interview, he's a voice to be reckoned with.

Redskins need to force Hawks into third downs
Here are five things to look for in next weekend's NFC divisional-round games:
|Inside Redskins-Seahawks
• X-factor: For a second consecutive week, Washington's regular cycle will be disrupted, since the Redskins play a second straight Saturday contest. Plus, the Redskins will have to make a long flight to the Pacific Northwest, never an easy trip. Seattle won all eight games this season at Qwest Field, and the Seahawks are now 24-10 at home since the stadium opened in 2002. The home field, from a scoring standpoint, has been worth about a touchdown more per game for the Seahawks. Seattle lost its only playoff game at Qwest Field (last year to the Rams).
• X-and-O factor: The play of each team's defensive tackles figures to be a key to the outcome of the game. Not many people watch the interior line play in any game, let alone a postseason contest, but keep an eye on the trench battles in this game. The Washington tandem of Cornelius Griffin and Joe Salave'a played with great intensity in the Redskins' wild-card victory at Tampa Bay, and will face a terrific Seattle interior trio of center Robbie Tobeck and guards Steve Hutchinson and Chris Gray. The Seattle tackles are a bit more active, but Rocky Bernard, the best penetrator of the bunch, has now gone six games without a sack.
• Rx factor (health): Washington -- Lost starting left defensive end Renaldo Wynn to a broken right forearm on Saturday and his steadiness as an excellent two-way player will be missed. Cornerback Shawn Springs missed the wild-card game with a hamstring strain and might still be gimpy. The Redskins, of course, will be without right guard Randy Thomas, who suffered a broken leg last month.
• Numbers cruncher: Matt Hasselbeck's completion rate for December, 76.1 percent, was the highest in league history for the month. In his last four games, Hasselbeck threw only 16 incompletions and had nine touchdown passes. In that stretch, his passer rating was 104.2 or better every week, and three times he had a rating of 127.0 or better. The seven-year veteran, who operates what is arguably the purest version of the "West Coast" style offense in the NFL, has been uncannily accurate down the stretch and unflappable. The Redskins are going to have to come up with something to disrupt his rhythm.
• The Redskins will win if: They gain more than the 120 yards on offense they managed last week. OK, seriously, Washington needs to control the clock with Clinton Portis, keep Mark Brunell's attempts at about 20, and avoid third-and-long situations, where their veteran quarterback tends to get happy feet and his lack of arm strength is more obvious. A few takeaways wouldn't hurt, either.
• The Seahawks will win if: They continue to move the ball offensively with the kind of peak efficiency they have demonstrated much of the season. Seattle is a unique offense, one that leads the NFL in scoring drives of 80 yards or more and is also near the top of the statistics in so-called "explosive" plays. Oh, yeah, the Seattle defense definitely must limit the big plays by Washington wide receiver Santana Moss, the Redskins' one notable home-run hitter on offense. Moss had six catches for 87 yards in the regular-season game.
When the Seattle offense gets into tempo, and coach Mike Holmgren is dialed in with his play-calling, it is one of the most efficient units in recent league history. Obviously, Williams, who demonstrated in the Redskins' wild-card victory at Tampa Bay that he is worth every penny of the $8 million contract extension owner Dan Snyder gave him last week, can't wait for third down to spring whatever surprises he might have in his deep grab bag. The Seahawks, who averaged 6.25 yards on first down, just aren't in very many disadvantageous down-and-distance situations. Williams might have to try to force the action on earlier downs. This is a more high-octane Seattle offense than the one that the Redskins limited to 17 points in an Oct. 2 overtime win at FedEx Field, and the Redskins' defense will have to be even better than it was that day.
2. Is it better to have one dominating wide receiver or a full contingent of lower-profile yet consistent wideouts who seemingly come at you in waves? This game might help answer that question. Clearly, the most explosive big-play performer in this game will be Redskins wideout Santana Moss. The five-year veteran gave the Redskins the vertical dimension the offense sorely needed in '05. His 17.7-yard average was second-highest among players with at least 60 receptions, and Moss had 10 catches of 40 yards or more. Six of his nine touchdowns were 32 yards or more, and he averaged 43.7 yards per scoring catch. But the Redskins didn't have another wide receiver with more than 22 catches, and no one stepped into the No. 2 complementary role. Tight end and H-back Chris Cooley had 71 receptions and seven touchdowns, and he is very clever in the red zone.
The Seahawks really miss safety Ken Hamlin when it comes to devising coverage schemes against intermediate receivers such as Cooley and will probably try to bracket him with some linebacker help. But look for Seattle to double-team Moss all day and to try to get cornerback Marcus Trufant locked on him, because no other Washington wide receiver scares anyone. In long-yardage situations, it's a given that Washington quarterback Mark Brunell will look for Moss. Seattle ranked 25th versus the pass this season, so its D has some holes. The cornerback spot opposite Trufant, where both Kelly Herndon and Andre Dyson have taken turns as the starter, has been especially suspect. On the flip side, injuries to starting wideouts Bobby Engram and Darrell Jackson, both of whom missed considerable playing time, meant Hasselbeck had to distribute the ball almost like a point guard. Engram still had 67 catches, but four other wideouts registered double-digit receptions -- and Joe Jurevicius, signed as a free agent to play the slot role, had a huge year. Jurevicius scored 10 times on just 55 catches, a phenomenal ratio, and no defense wants him running crossing routes unchecked through a secondary. It's key that the Redskins get a body on the long, gangly Jurevicius and that they get up on him early in red-zone situations. Washington really needs cornerback Shawn Springs, the former Seattle first-rounder who missed the wild-card game at Tampa Bay with an injury, to be available for the divisional round.
3. Redskins weak-side linebacker LaVar Arrington, often accused of freelancing, will need to play one of the most disciplined games of his career if the Redskins are to contain league MVP Shaun Alexander. The Seahawks love to run their star tailback to the left, behind the Pro Bowl duo of tackle Walter Jones and guard Steve Hutchinson, and that will put Arrington squarely in the middle of the action. Alexander is tough enough to corral, but when linebackers get sealed inside and can't hold containment on the perimeter, he starts turning 3- and 4-yard carries into longer gains. In the wild-card victory, Washington's linebackers totaled 32 tackles, and they're going to have to run to the football and surround Alexander to have a chance to spring another upset. In the regular-season matchup, Washington "held" Alexander to 98 yards and one touchdown on 20 carries. We're betting D-coordinator Williams would take those numbers again. If you want to see some old-fashioned trench warfare, keep an eye on Hutchinson's battles against the Washington tackles, each of whom had superb outings in the wild-card triumph. Cornelius Griffin and Joe Salave'a are tough-minded and intense, penetrate surprisingly well, and won't back down. Once the quickest 310-pounder in the league, Griffin isn't as fast as he was earlier in his career, but he's a difference-maker in the middle of the line. Salave'a is a journeyman who has finally found his niche. The inside line play, especially when Seattle is on offense, won't be for the fainthearted.
4. The Redskins got plenty of pressure from their front four in their wild-card win, blitzed sparingly and preferred to play a drop-and-cover game. But they had just 35 sacks in the season and Seattle surrendered only 31 sacks. Washington right defensive end Phillip Daniels is certainly the team's hot pass-rusher, with six of his eight sacks in the regular season coming in the final three games. He'll be matched up against Walter Jones in most situations. It wouldn't be surprising to see Williams use Arrington a little more as a rush end in an attempt to pressure Hasselbeck. Meanwhile, despite not having a single defender with double-digit sacks, the Seahawks led the NFL with 50 quarterback takedowns and had 12 different players with at least one sack. Seattle isn't a big blitz-quota team but will send rookie linebacker LeRoy Hill off the edge sometimes. The bet here is that Seattle will try to focus on 43-year-old right guard Ray Brown, starting in place of the injured Randy Thomas, and see if it can force him to pick up some inside blitzes, likely from first-year middle linebacker Lofa Tatupu, who probably should have been the league's Defensive Rookie of the Year.
5. Beware Redskins backup tailback Ladell Betts. Yeah, we said Ladell Betts. In games like this one, featuring a pair of premier backs like Shaun Alexander and Washington's Clinton Portis, it's occasionally the No. 3 runner in the game who makes some plays. And Betts, an effective nickel tailback who logs more snaps than many No. 2 tailbacks in spelling Portis, can make plays. Not a lot of big plays, but the kind of little ones that add up. Betts ran for 338 yards on 89 carries and, in a game that doesn't exactly feature a lot of return threats, he might be a factor on kickoff runbacks. Betts averaged 25.9 yards and scored a touchdown on kickoff returns this season. As an inside runner, he's got some punch and can break tackles. A message to Seattle defenders: Don't let down too much when Portis goes to the sideline for a breather.
1. Plenty of focus will be on the offensive tackles, Chicago's John Tait and Fred Miller and Carolina's Travelle Wharton and Jordan Gross, in another NFC division matchup featuring teams that also played during the regular season. In the Nov. 20 game at Soldier Field, the Bears registered eight sacks, all by defensive linemen -- five by ends Adewale Ogunleye (three sacks) and Alex Brown (two sacks and a pair of forced fumbles). Ogunleye abused first-year starter Wharton in the Bears' 13-3 victory, and it won't be surprising to see the young tackle get some help from a tight end as he tries to keep the Bears away from quarterback Jake Delhomme. Carolina defensive ends Julius Peppers and Mike Rucker aren't exactly slouches, either, but the Bears did a superb job of protecting then-starter Kyle Orton in the first meeting. Carolina didn't have a sack, and Peppers and Rucker combined for only three tackles and one pass deflection. Peppers is an unusual player, a guy who had 10½ sacks this season and is going to the Pro Bowl. But he wasn't nearly as dominating as some pundits thought he would be, especially after a breakout 2004 campaign. All of Peppers' sacks came in six games, which means he had 10 games with no sacks, and that is indicative of his career. He is a streak shooter, a rusher who collects sacks in bunches and who is capable of being shut out or posting a three-sack game. On Sunday, the Panthers need him to author one of his big games. Miller was coming off an injury the first time he matched up with Peppers, and he got some help in passing situations. Expect the Bears to do some double-team blocking on Peppers this time, as well.
Two tremendous front-four units fuel their respective defenses, and they are very similar in that they are quick on the edges and stout inside. Each team features a relatively unknown anchor-type tackle, Jordan Carstens for the Panthers and Ian Scott for the Bears, and those two might be more important than anyone realizes, particularly versus the run. Scott is far more consistent than fellow tackle Tommie Harris, who is spotty despite earning a Pro Bowl invitation. Carstens stepped into the void created by the season-ending injury to Kris Jenkins and has performed nobly in just his second season.
|Inside Panthers-Bears
• X-factor: Despite a 9.1-yard average (tied for ninth in the league) and one return for a touchdown, the Chicago punt-return game has been a source of concern all season. Bobby Wade was released because he couldn't even handle punts, let alone make a big play. The Panthers have no such woes, with the electrifying Steve Smith moonlighting as their return man. Smith is nearly as dangerous fielding punts as he is frolicking through secondaries, and he averaged 10.6 yards in the regular season. In a game where field position could make a huge difference, and where the weather conditions could play a role, Smith gives the Panthers a notable edge in the return game. Brendon Ayanbadejo, the Chicago special-teams ace, will need a solid game.
• X-and-O factor: The game features the No. 2- (Chicago) and No. 3-rated (Carolina) defenses in the league, so which side of the ball figures to dominate? The winner might be determined by which offense makes more than its usual quota of plays. These are two very smart staffs, though, coaches who know that you dance with what got you into the playoffs. Don't expect either staff to stray too far out of character.
• Rx factor (health): Carolina -- Perhaps the biggest concerns are the toe injury with which tailback DeShaun Foster has played the last two weeks and the shoulder injury that has forced middle linebacker Dan Morgan to wear a harness. Foster has taken a painkiller injection the last two outings. Morgan still flies to the ball but he is somewhat limited in his ability to square up and strike a blow. Strong-side linebacker Brandon Short is playing with a knee strain.
• Numbers cruncher: The Chicago defense allowed opponents to convert just 31.9 percent of their third-down plays, one of the best marks in the league over the course of the year. But in the last four games, opponents converted 24 of 55 third-down plays, 43.6 percent, and that kind of generosity is a concern to the Bears' defensive coaches. Two of the last four opponents converted 50 percent or more on third down. One explanation: The small but quick Chicago defense wore down as the season progressed, missed considerably more tackles collectively, and surrendered too many yards after initial contact. That's one reason the Bears were thrilled to have a bye in the opening week of the postseason. They are hoping the time off allowed some players to recharge their batteries.
• The Panthers will win if: Smith runs wild through the Chicago secondary, causing all kinds of coverage problems, and Foster breaks off one of his long, winding runs. It won't take a lot of points to defeat the offensively challenged Bears, and the Panthers certainly have the potential to make more plays on offense.
• The Bears will win if: The defense harasses quarterback Jake Delhomme the way it did in the regular-season game, forces him into bad throws, and provides field position for the dubious offense.
Now on to Smith and how the Bears might attempt to slow him: In the regular-season game, Chicago kept Smith out of the end zone, but he still had an amazing 14 catches for 169 yards, one of three double-digit catch games for the season. It was one of those games where Smith didn't even seem like he was running set patterns, but rather getting into the secondary, finding voids, and settling into them. It's easy to say Smith got a lot of catches at "garbage time," but that wasn't necessarily the case. The Bears have one of the best cornerback groups in the game, in the trio of Charles Tillman, Nathan Vasher and Jerry Azumah, but just having players isn't enough against Smith. Defensive coordinator Ron Rivera, who called a great game the first time around when he blitzed Delhomme into a pair of early interceptions and then opted to play coverage after the Panthers went to max protection, will have to surround Smith and push him to the sidelines. Permitted to run free between the hash marks, Smith is a big play just waiting to happen. Think about this: Smith had 103 catches for 1,563 yards and 12 touchdowns, the first NFL player to win the wide receiver "triple crown" since Sterling Sharpe in 1992. The rest of the Carolina wide receivers totaled 64 catches, 910 yards and eight scores. None of the other wideouts managed more than 25 catches. So it should be easy, right, to shut down one player? Apparently not, given the season Smith had, so Rivera and his secondary will have to be at the top of their game.
3. Even with Grossman back in the lineup, the centerpiece of the rudimentary Chicago offense remains Thomas Jones, maybe the league's most overlooked tailback. Only a couple years ago, the former Arizona Cardinals' first-rounder was labeled a bust. All he does now is bust through tackles, bleed every yard out of every carry, and finish off every run. Jones ran for a career-best 1,335 yards and nine touchdowns in 2005, and in his sixth season has become a viable force. Chicago also has an underrated backup in Adrian Peterson, a superb special teams performer who typically gets about six or seven touches per game, and who averaged 5.1 yards per carry. The main man for the Bears, though, definitely is the workmanlike Jones, and he ran for 87 yards in the first game against the Panthers, and allowed Chicago to dictate tempo once it got an early lead. Carolina ranked No. 4 against the run (even higher than the Bears, who finished 11th in defense versus the rush) and the Panthers like to crowd the line of scrimmage and call plenty of run blitzes to compress the area between the tackles. Jones is a very patient runner and, while he's not a home-run hitter, he did have a dozen rushes for 20 or more yards this season.
Now, if you want a home-run hitter, the Panthers have one in DeShaun Foster, who, counting Sunday's upset victory over the New York Giants, has rushed for 316 yards and a 7.0-yard average in his last two starts. Foster was throttled by the Bears, who held Carolina to 55 rushing yards in the regular-season game. But even playing with a sore toe that has required a painkiller injection before each of the last two games, Foster is hitting stride at the right time. He gives the Panthers a different style runner than the between-the-tackles pounder Stephen Davis was, but he can't afford to dance so much against a swarming Chicago defense. How these two teams run the ball, and how they defend the run, will be a key element in this game.
4. For the past year, ESPN.com touted the Bears' Lance Briggs as one of the NFL's best, if unheralded, weak-side linebackers. Having earned a spot in the Pro Bowl this season, and considerable acclaim, the prefix "unheralded" can now be expunged. Briggs simply is one of the best outside 'backers in the league. But on Sunday, he'll be one of just two excellent weak-side linebackers on the field, because our new pet project has become trying to get some props for his Carolina counterpart, Will Witherspoon. A four-year veteran, and a superior athlete eligible for unrestricted free agency this spring (Briggs, it should be noted, could become a free agent after the 2006 campaign, but only if there is an extension to the collective bargaining agreement by then), Witherspoon is a classic chase and pursue defender. His all-around statistics -- 81 tackles, two interceptions, 12 passes defensed and 2½ sacks -- were not all that dissimilar to Briggs' numbers. The difference is, people are paying attention now to Briggs, scheming to stay away from him. Witherspoon could use this playoff series to enhance his profile, and given his pending free agent status, to fatten his checking account, too.
Both weak-side 'backers bear watching in this game. The Bears almost certainly will try to run the ball right at Witherspoon, who is better as a chaser than an anchor. And if the Carolina coaches get a good look at the video of the last portion of the season, they may take their chances, too, going after Briggs a little. There is a suspicion that Briggs has eroded a bit physically down the stretch, when he missed about a dozen tackles in the last month of the season. Both weak-side linebackers play well in space, so look for the respective offenses to try to keep them closer to the line of scrimmage in more of a closed area. They are, in general, two of the quickest linebacker corps in the league. Beyond Briggs and Witherspoon, the two middle 'backers, Brian Urlacher of Chicago and Carolina's Dan Morgan, can run with just about anyone. Urlacher was named the NFL's top defensive player for the '05 season and is dangerous coming up inside on the blitz.
5. Vasher had two picks of Delhomme in the first game, both when the Carolina quarterback threw off his back foot, and there is no doubt the Bears will come after Delhomme early again. He is the kind of guy who can make big plays for his own team or for the opposition, and he sometimes allows his passion to get the better of him. If the wild-card weekend reinforced anything, it's that turnovers are magnified in the playoffs, and Delhomme threw 16 interceptions during the regular season. About as confident a quarterback as there is in the league, Delhomme will take some chances because he believes in his arm and feels he can get the ball there under any circumstances. But he will have to be mindful of his occasionally poor mechanics and of the wind at Soldier Field next weekend. Both defenses thrive on takeaways and on being able to provide their offenses a short field. Carolina has a tremendous cornerback trio in Ken Lucas, Chris Gamble and Ricky Manning Jr. (who always shows up big in the playoffs), and the Panthers had 42 takeaways in 2005. That was second-most in the league and helped the Panthers to a plus-16 differential. Chicago had a plus-six differential but finished second in the NFL with 24 interceptions. Throw up a "cripple" and Vasher will snatch it and take in back the other way. Needless to say, ball security will be key Sunday afternoon.

High Crime Area
Tales of Darkness and Dread
Joyce Carol Oates is an unparalleled investigator of human flaws. In these eight stories, she deftly tests the bonds between damaged individuals#151;a brother and sister, a teacher and student, two strangers on a subway#151;in the fearless prose for which she's become so celebrated. In the title story #147;High Crime Area," a white, aspiring professor is convinced she is being followed. No need to panic, she has a handgun stowed away in her purse#151;just in case. But when she turns to confront her black, male shadow, the situation isn't what she expects. In #147;The Rescuer," a promising graduate student detours to inner city Trenton, New Jersey to save her brother from a downward spiral. But she soon finds out there may be more to his world than to hers. And in #147;The Last Man of Letters," the world-renowned author X embarks on a final grand tour of Europe. He has money, fame, but not a whole lot of manners. A little thing like etiquette couldn't bring a man like X down, could it? In these biting and beautiful stories, Oates confronts, one by one, the demons within us. Sometimes it's the human who wins, and sometimes it's the demon.

The hotel is located a short walk or hike from a beautiful Northern California beach, Muir Beach, and a few minutes drive from Muir Woods National Park. It is a 20 minute drive from the Golden Gate Bridge on Highway 1.
Directions from Golden Gate Bridge: Proceed north on Highway 101. After five minutes, take the Stinson Beach / Highway 1 exit in Mill Valley. After 2/3rds mile, turn left at the Arco Station (3rd light), staying on Hwy. 1. Drive about 15 minutes. At bottom of hill—after miles of wilderness—the Inn is the first building on the left.
News: Caltrans has completed its repair work and Hwy 1 is now open.

What are the main differences in the approach that should be taken when working for each goal. I read an article saying it is possible to work for both at the same time but I was wondering what the differences are when working for one or the other. Right now I am more interested in size. However once I gain on my arms and chest I will probably be leaning back towards focusing on strength.
So please give me some tips and advice.
