The U.S. teen pregnancy rate in 2009, the latest year for which data are available, hit its lowest since tracking began 70 years ago, the Center for Disease Control said on Tuesday.
However, more than 400,000 teen girls still give birth a year according to the CDC's Vital Signs report.
"Though we have made progress in reducing teen pregnancy over the past 20 years, still far too many teens are having babies," said CDC director Thomas Frieden in a statement.
The teen birth rate has decreased 37 percent over the last two decades. About four percent of all teenage girls give birth each year, representing about 10 percent of total births, the CDC said.
However, the report says, the current U.S. rate is still as much as nine times higher as that in similar countries.
Forty-six percent of teens have had sexual intercourse, the report said. Out of that number, 14 percent of girls and 10 percent of boys say that they do not use any type of birth control.

You stood outside staring up at the sky in rapture. Winter is your favorite holiday, for the simple reason that it hardly ever snows where you live--but when it does, there's some two feet.

"Get this shitfucking white Earth powder off of me before I freeze to pieces!" Karkat complains loudly as he stomps over to you. Snow goes flying in his wake. "(y/n), how do you put up with this stormshitting nuisance?"
"It's fun!" you say, giggling at Karkat's sour face and ridiculous attire. Somebody, probably Kanaya, has bundled the nubby-horned troll in two down jackets, ski pants, boots that look suspiciously like Uggs, feminine gloves, a candy-red knitted scarf, and a black

Gamzee pondered. And then shrugged.
'Gah! Get the fuck out of here!' You demanded.
Obediently, Gamzee turned and walked out, shutting the door behind him.

The leaves on the trees were turning yellows, reds, and browns as fall was coming fast in the small neighborhood. Children jumped in small piles of leaves, giggling and crying out with glee. It made Kankri feel good seeing all these kids having such a wonderful time together in harmony.Cronus/Kankri: Rebelling2 years ago in General Fiction More Like This
The parents, however, weren't having a great time seeing Cronus and Kankri sitting in their children's play area.
Cronus sat on the bench, completely oblivious to all the attention his candy cigarette was attracting. Of course, he wouldn't have cared even if he had noticed. It was his style, and he was known for being rebellious against 'the man' or any other adults that stood in his way.
Kankri easily noticed all the stares and decided to speak up. "Cronus, that candy cigarette is drawing the wrong kind of attention to us. I would appreciate it if you threw it out while we're in

I shivered as the cold wind entered through the mouth of the cave. His cloak was wrapped around my body to help keep me warm, not that it mattered.
I was numb all over. This winter has been rather harsh on me. I've been snowed in several times, having to dig my way out if I wanted food. Making a warm fire was damn near impossible with the wood being all wet and no flint anywhere near by. These things didn't bother me though. I hardly ventured out anyway. I was to fragile and weak. He usually did that stuff, while I hunted.
Sometimes I think about to when we first admitted our feelings for each other. A smile creeped it's way onto my face. Despite it being foreign to my face now, it found it's way back one way or another. I remember feeling his warm arms around me during the wintertime. We'd cuddle near the fire beneath his cloak and a blanket that Dolorosa had made for us.
Olive tears threatened to leave my eyes at the happy memory, then anger began to set in. I

"Hey!" A voice rang out. A boy about the girl's age walked in front of her, crossing his arms over his chest. His dark blue eyes were filled with determination, and his chocolate brown hair covered most of his face. "Leave her alone!" The boys chuckled.
"Oh, does she have a little protector?" One of them cooed sarcastically. "So scary!" With a last laugh, the boys left.

"Listen, Masky.I've been thinking and…the only way this girl is going to survive is if she becomes a proxy."

I didn't want her to become a proxy. She would just be another hopeless pawn, killing for no reason other than she had to.
I remember the first time I was ordered to kill. Her name, I think, was Jessy. When the time had come , I couldn't control myself.

You open your mouth to speak, but no words come out. Your throat clenches when you think what the meaning behind this lecture could be and struggle to form a reasonable, oh please even only a coherent, response. Karkat is braced for retaliation as he awaits your reply with a growing irritation. When your voice does not come through for you, you nod instead.
Karkat exhales but does not yet seem to relax. He is still justifiably braced for reprisal, but it does not come. His eyes scan your face for a moment, questioning your resignation.

Kre-Alkalyn« EFX is "buffered" creatine that does not convert into creatinine prior to reaching skeletal muscle tissue.
The rationale behind Kre-Alkalyn« EFX is "creatine on demand", i.e., at the times your body needs it, which is why it requires "no loading". Taken 1 or 1.5 hours prior to physical exercise, Kre-Alkalyn« provides all the needed creatine into the blood stream, ready to enter muscle cells. At low doses (1.5 û 3 grams) Kre-Alkalyn« boosts endurance and training capacity for up to three hours. Most importantly, Kre-Alkalyn« results in strength and performance enhancement without water retention or any of the other common side-effects.

Talks between Seagram's CEO Edgar Bronfman and CAA's Michael Ovitz regarding Ovitz heading up entertainment giant MCA for Seagram, have "fallen apart." According to CNBC's Ted David, Ovitz "disagreed with Seagram over compensation" (CNBC, 6/5). In addition to Time Warner co-CEO Terry Semel, Barry Diller's name has surfaced as a possible MCA head. Some speculate that Seagram "might join Mr. Diller in a bid for CBS" (Landro & Shapiro, WALL STREET JOURNAL, 6/6). Other names for MCA: Disney TV chief Rich Frank and MCA studio head Tom Pollock (David Lieberman, USA TODAY, 6/6). GE TURNS OUT LIGHTS ON NBC SALE: Jay Ireland, Manager of Corporate Investor Communications at General Electric, said last week that NBC is not for sale. But Ireland did reiterate that GE "is very interested in a partner for the network as long as GE maintained control" (VARIETY, 6/5). AD SALES HIT NEW HIGH: Entertainment, telecomm and high tech led the advertisers who spent a record of $5.5B on ads for the '95-96 season. Advance sales a year ago for ABC, NBC, CBS and Fox were $4.4B. Sony, Disney, AT&T and Microsoft were among the top buyers. One of the reasons cited: higher competition because of the expectation of Olympic-related ads (Melanie Wells, USA TODAY, 6/6).

REMBRANDTS WORLD: Dutch Drawings from the Clement C. Moore Collectionby Sara Christoph
The people of Rembrandt's world do everything New Yorkers do—skate through the streets, smirk at foreign eyes, toast to their own survival—just set against bucolic Dutch scenery. Dwarfed by their landscapes, they quibble with the wind; but once indoors, the bacchanal nights begin. In Philips Koninck's (1619 – 1688) "Seated Male," a pub-goer is drawn with calligraphic control, lines either bulging or spindly in accordance with the limb they contain. This man sits with a wobble, grasps a jug, and revels in such vitality that he is forced to squint. Perhaps he shared a pint with the entourage next door, Cornelis Saftleven's (ca. 1607 – 1681) "A Procession of Diabolical Creatures": feline heads atop demon-like silhouettes with cloven hooves—imagine if sphinxes returned only to fall in with the wrong crowd. I say cheers, new friends, your zest is infectious. Yet away from this carnival, the most poignant image is from Rembrandt's (1606 – 1669) own hand. In "A Beggar," quick, vertical pen strokes belie a heaviness, both in the weight of ragged drapery and of the world. Hunched and indistinct, his glance trickles down a pointy chin. He is a beggar who asks for nothing, except, perhaps, that our stare not meet his own.

MAY 2014 | Field Notes
New York has never seemed more like the supposedly future world portrayed in Ridley Scotts 1982 film Blade Runner than in the last few monthsnot just the noodle stands tucked in around the towering high-rises, but above all the endless cold, grey drizzle that mocked the persistent hope that winter was about over. So its hard not simply to be happy to see the sun again, along with the seasonal pleasures of blooming trees, flowers, people enjoying the streets.

⬅ Return to Obama Administration Must Abandon Force-Feeding at Gitmo
anonymous comment
Jul 27th, 2009 at 4:59pm
Thank you for your efforts. As a medical professional, I'm appalled at what has been done, as well as the practices that continue.
This is still America, isn't it?

Yes, force-feeding is a form of torture. And it's horrible.
But so is the covert, silent debilitating irradiation of many thousands of unjustly targeted Americans by means of microwave and laser radiation "directed energy weapons" proliferated among law enforcement, the military and secretive security and intel agencies...
...the secret, horrific weapon of a covert program of extrajudicial targeting, punishment and torture that's going on coast-to-coast, under the radar of naive Obama Administration cabinet officials and a national ACLU that won't take off its domestic blinders.
U.S. government has WEAPONIZED THE ELECTROMAGNETIC SPECTRUM -- a development every bit as momentous, and ominous, as the invention of the A-bomb, or gunpowder.
When will the ACLU, or mainstream media, wake up and smell the police state and its crimes against humanity -- right here at HOME?
Or am I and a few other vocal victims lone voices in the wilderness?

"Artificial feeding has much in common with rape. And that's what it really is: four big men hurl themselves on one weak being and deprive it of its one interdiction - they only need to do it once and what happens next is not important. The element of rape inheres in the violation of the victim's will: "It's not going to be the way you want it, but the way I want it; lie down and submit." [] The sensation is one of being morally defiled..."
- Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago

Medical Ethics????? If they pass this new healthcare bill as it currently stands there will be more and more medical ethics. I am not sure about force feeding however do you want them to die? Would that make you feel better?
I hope when the American people (all) have to face who gets help and who doesn't I hope the ACLU will be there to watch out for us! Especially the eldery, disabled, mentally disabled etc.

Hardware patents perhaps, but personally I don't think software patents have helped in any way to further innovation. They are only a weapon.
So what you are saying is that a guy who pours significant amounts of time into developing an algorithm, making it space and time efficient, modelling it to resolve concurrency issues, etc... should not get patent protection and that you are 'entitled' to use his algorithm without compensating him for all his hard work? Creating algorithms is one example of a software development activity that is by far not always a trivial. I can see why granting a once-click-shopping patent or a slide-to-unlock patent is just plain dumb, I can also see why people are frustrated by big corporations patenting obvious stuff by the shipload and then using the expense of patent lawsuits as a tool to drive small competitors out of business. All of these are things that are wrong with the current system. However, I also fail to see why a guy developing hardware deserves patent protection but a guy developing software doesn't because that's one thing the patent system currently does right, which is giving inventors some protection against being ripped off by predators.
Hackers are just a migratory lifeform with a tropism for computers.

Anochetus dubius
|Anochetus dubius
Temporal range: Burdigalian?
|Anochetus dubius holotype
|Scientific classification
|†A. dubius
|Binomial name
|Anochetus dubius
De Andrade, 1994
Anochetus dubius is an extinct species of ant in the subfamily Ponerinae known from two possibly Miocene[1] fossils found on Hispaniola.[2] A. dubius is one of eight species in the ant genus Anochetus to have been described from fossils found in Dominican amber and is one of a number of Anochetus species found in the Greater Antillies.[2][3]
History and classification[edit]
Anochetus dubius is known from the solitary fossil insect which, along with two soil particles, is an inclusion in a transparent yellow chunk of Dominican amber.[2] The amber was produced by the extinct Hymenaea protera, which formerly grew on Hispaniola, across northern South America, and up to southern Mexico. The specimen was collected from an undetermined amber mine in fossil-bearing rocks of the Cordillera Septentrional mountains of northern Dominican Republic.[1][4] The amber dates from at least the Burdigalian stage of the Miocene, based on studying the associated fossil foraminifera, and may be as old as the Middle Eocene, based on the associated fossil coccoliths. This age range is due to the host rock being secondary deposits for the amber, and the Miocene as the age range is only the youngest that it might be.[1]
At the time of description, the holotype specimen, number "Do-4192", was preserved in the State Museum of Natural History Stuttgart amber collections in Baden-Württemberg, Germany. The holotype fossil was first studied by entomologist Maria L. De Andrade of the University of Basle with her 1991 type description of the new species being published in the journal Stuttgarter Beiträge zur Naturkunde. Serie B (Geologie und Paläontologie). The specific epithet dubius is derived from the Latin dubius meaning "doubtful", a reference to the uncertain affinities to any specific modern Anochetus species group.[2]
The species is one of eight Anochetus which have been described from Dominican amber. Two species were described prior to A. dubius: A. corayi in 1980 and A. brevidentatus in 1991. The remaining five species—A. ambiguus, A. conisquamis, A. exstinctus, A. intermedius, and A. lucidus—were all described by De Andrade in the same 1994 paper as A. dubius.[2] A number of modern species live in the Greater Antilles, with at least three modern species found on Hispaniola.[3]
The Anochetus dubius type specimen is well preserved, though it is missing some body structures such as both hind tarsi and tibiae, and the entire specimen is surrounded by a brownish bacterial growth.[2] The specimen has an estimated body length of 5.25 millimetres (0.207 in), with a 1.12-millimetre-long (0.044 in) head and 0.88-millimetre-long (0.035 in) mandibles. The overall coloration of the body is a brown darkening on the head ad gaster, with the coxae and portions of the trochanters and femora being a reddish tone. The mandibles are just under the width of the head and about one-quarter the length, flare in width from the base to tips, and have between them ten teeth which decrease in size from the tips to the bases. The apical three teeth on each mandible blade are elongated and slender for grasping prey, with the apical two teeth longer than the third tooth. Both the mesonotum and pronotum have a slight "U"-shaped profile, with the undersides of each curved upwards. The propodium sports short spines, 0.04 millimetres (0.0016 in) long, on the rear edge, while the petiole has two longer spines, 0.10 millimetres (0.0039 in) long, placed near the center of the petiolar node.[2]

Gill, the London restaurant critic famed for his nastiness, once spent the first two-thirds of a dining review writing about killing a baboon with a rifle shot while on an African safari, an activity unrelated to the restaurant he eventually got around to considering. Short version: I took him just below the armpit. He […] [Read More]

What a magical, beautifully desriptive and enchanting book. I loved it! The story was fine, but the imagination of the author was what really captivated me. The details, the visuals she created, the attractions, and the way she made you think about time were wonderful. I want to go to the night circus! Oh wait, I already did in my mind!

Sweetest Blueberry for Zone 6
Of the few blueberry bushes I just bought, the Reka's are really tart. I have many different kinds but will not taste them until next year. So I am wondering what the sweetest blueberry is. Opinions? I am looking for large, really sweet, low acid berries. I see a thread on southern berries like sweetcrisp, but not for zone 6. I would appreciate your input. Thanks.
By the way, I plan to buy my bushes at this place. Does anyone know anything about them? Their 5 pack of 3 year old bushes is a great deal.
Here is a link that might be useful: Dimeo Farms
A quick word of advice, don't walk away from Dimeo farms, RUN, run as fast as you can!!!!! They'll send you 3 year old plants with a rootball the size of a lemon. I lost two of five and it took an extra year to get the others going. You'd be better off with barely rooted twigs. No, you'd be better off with unrooted twigs. Then you won't waste a year on them.
In my experience Sweetcrisp is in a class by itself. There is no substitute. At least get a couple to try. Seems like I've seen zone 6-10 listed. The patent says hardy to -15C. What's that, about 5F. My second sweetest is Santa Fe but it's another SHB and by comparison it's berries are mush.
To me the best part of Sweetcrisp is the texture. But the sweetness and flavor, picked at the right time, were sensational this year.
Wow. Thanks for saving me. I just ordered from the only nursery that has sweetcrisp which is island grove. I know that will make some folks groan but they have them and if they make it here OK, I will baby them. The other nurseries mentioned on another thread do not call back or answer email. At least these guys did and have the stock. I am very much looking forward to trying the sweetcrisp! I think they will stay in my garage this winter just to be safe. I have one supposedly Pink Lemonaide (doesn't look like the plant and the berries are blue right now). So if the berries turn pink maybe they will be sweet/low acid.
OK, in the garage it's cool! You should definitely get them. Mine are in ground. I have not tried enough cultivars to give a good opinion! Plus I like tart fruit. I only like my cherries sweet.
You mentioned Reka, and it's an early variety. Mostly early anything is just OK, never the best. Look for mid to late season types. Many here have been raving about Ka-Bluey, but again, I never tried it.

Emerald is what you grow to feed the masses, lots of yield and a so so berry. It's no better for zone 6 than most any other SHB. In fact it has more fall blooming than most.
Santa Fe has a better berry than Emerald. It is really sweet and no acid plus a good blueberry flavor. It's just soft like most blueberries.
I wish I had more experience with NHB. Can't help you much there.
I just ordered from the only nursery that has sweetcrisp which is island grove.
As you might have noticed in the blueberry nursery thread, Island Grove appears to have some packaging issues (to put it mildly). I'll be curious to know if your order arrives in better condition than mine. Also, don't expect to receive any communication at all from them beyond the order confirmation, and, if it's necessary to contact them, don't waste your time with e-mail. You won't get a reply, so you'll be better off calling.
As for sweet blueberries for zone 6, I'd also suggest O'Neal. I've been eating O'Neal and Reka side by side for a few days, and the O'Neal berries are definitely sweeter and plumper. I'm rather enjoying the contrast. I should have my first South Moon berry within the next week or two. It might be another one to consider. I'll let you know what I think of it.
I bought it from Burnt Ridge in 2012. If you're ordering now and would like to order from a nearby nursery, Edible Landscaping in Afton, VA might be worth considering.

"I also like Spartan,that I'd put in the mostly sweet category. Brady"
In my research this is the best tasting NHB early season variety. I would like this one to extend my season. In my research for best plants for zone 6a. I concentrated on good taste, productivity, ornamental value, and adaptability to my area, not really sweetness. I decided on Toro, Liberty, and Chandler.
Like all experienced growers will tell you, try and obtain plants that grow well in your area. so that was my major concern. NHB might not do well in pots. They grow to be huge plants. I would think they would not do well in pots.
Also NHB might not do well in hot areas. Fruitnut describes some SHB as mushy. I can say I would never describe a NHB as mushy, When ripe they have some firmness, slightly less than a strawberry.Mushy only when over ripe.
If grown in warm zones though, I would think you would not get good fruit as they would be out of their element, Again not meant to grow in warm zones, so results could be way different.
Darrow is one that might do well in southern zones. Zone rating 6-7. I really have little experience with many cultivars. I do like what I grow, and I'm sure O'Neil, and Blue ray are also fine plants as mentioned. Blue crop is another decent plant that kept popping up as decent in my research. But research is all I have to go on.
Again I would like to add Spartan as it sounds like a really decent early cultivar. And Pink Lemonade, just because it is so different. But I have no more room. I grow too many other berry plants and I like them a lot. All space is taken at this point.
Thanks for all of the ideas. I think I will try a few of all the suggestions and see which is best to me.
Drew51, I grow in 27 gallon pots. I have fruit trees in there so I am hoping the NHB will do well. My in ground soil is nothing but clay and even in raised beds would be a small fortune to amend enough for the blues. Off to place a few more orders...
"Drew51, I grow in 27 gallon pots"
Holy Moly they make such things? Yeah you could probably put 2 in there!! That is probably more dirt than in my raised bed for my blueberries. Thanks for this discussion, it was very interesting! What's great about gardening is all the approaches to it. Recently in the Dave Wilson forums I saw one of the sweetest set ups for pots I have ever seen. Check out the Boysenberry thread
I linked, page 3,David7212's setup. Sweet!
Anyway I'm learning so much and having a lot of fun talking to you all. Good luck with the blueberries, my guess is you will have ton's of them.
Here is a link that might be useful: Bramble set up
I grow in 27 gallon pots. I have fruit trees in there so I am hoping the NHB will do well.
Your NHB should do fine in 27 gallon pots. I've grown NHB in much smaller pots (7-10 gallons) for something like five years now, and they've done very well. I have half-high and dwarf varieties, NHB and SHB varieties, as well as an assortment of Rabbiteyes, and they've all thrived in wood planters, terra cotta pots, fabric pots, etc. In my experience, blueberries are perfectly suited for containers.
If I ever get a fork lift, I would grow in 27 gallon pots too!
Shazaam, thanks for the info. I have seen lot's of people growing other types in pots, but never seen anybody mention NHB in pots till now. Plus a 27 gallon pot is not really a pot, it's a portable garden!
I would love to grow in pots, my problem is a have a bunch of sub tropical plants in pots, and it's a pain to move them. The last thing I want is to have to move more pots! Although I do have room in the garage, darn maybe I do need to get a sweetcrisp too! Blueberries are so beautiful, I would love to grow more.
I would love to see a picture of a 27 gallon pot, know how the heck do you move them, and who sells such beasts?
I get the 27 gallons at greenhousemegastore. They are $43 + shipping for a pack of 5 which is an amazing deal. Since I am using the 5-1-1 mix (5 parts pine bark mulch 1 part perlite and 1 part peat), they are not quite as heavy as local soil or miracle grow would be. They ARE still heavy though. If I could grow them in 10 gallon pots that would be great. I'm not sure if the roots would freeze here in such small pots though. PA winters are pretty brutal. I will probably get a drum truck which is like a hand truck but for round barrels e.g. pots. I don't plan on moving them though so it would only be on rare occasions.

A wicked comedy about the perils of making your dreams come true
Quirky, clever, cubicle-bound Jennifer Johnson is desperate. Everyone around her is getting married, while she's still single and stuck writing ad copy about men's dress socks.
Her life hits crisis level, launching her into a humiliating and painfully hilarious quest to find Prince Charming at any cost. This includes agonizing online dates, diet-clinic cults, drag-queen fights, and a debilitating addiction to Cinnabon icing. When she meets handsome, wealthy Brad Keller, she wonders if he's the answer to all her dreams, or is he just too good to be true?
Darkly funny and outrageously honest, McElhatton's wit shines in this no-holds-barred cautionary tale about getting what you want—and how it can be the worst thing for you.
Heather McElhatton produced the award-winning literary series Talking Volumes. Her commentaries have been heard on This American Life, Marketplace, Weekend America, Sound Money, and The Savvy Traveler. She lives in Key West with her pug, Walter.
"This brash and funny novel plays with the form, with a dark, intelligent and wholly unexpected conclusion…Jennifer is uncomfortable, wickedly funny and ultimately likable…."

With the Sourcing and Vendor Management Forums coming up next week in Miami and at the end of the month in London, our team is busy finalizing content and rehearsing sessions. Personally the hottest question I have continued to get since the keynote I did last year on SaaS sourcing is the question of SaaS pricing and contract negotiation. So, what can you expect in the track session "Negotiating Cloud Pricing and Contracts" for those of you who can join us?
New data from the Q3 2011 services survey showing:

This is a guest post from Kerry Bodine, a Forrester vice president and principal analyst serving Customer Experience Professionals. Kerry will deliver a keynote on the critical role Sourcing & Vendor Management Professionals play in customer experience at Forrester's Sourcing & Vendor Management Forum on Nov. 7-8 in Miami and Nov. 30-Dec. 1 in London.
Many customer experience initiatives don't meet their full potential — or worse, fail completely — because companies don't have a complete picture of the dynamics that go into creating it. In order to break from their tunnel vision, companies need to understand their customer experience ecosystem: the complex set of relationships among a company's employees, partners, and customers that determines the quality of all customer interactions.
In their quest to seek out the root causes of customer experience issues, companies often overlook the impact of sourcing and vendor management (SVM) professionals — often referred to as "procurement" by the rest of the organization. That's too bad, because these decision-makers influence the customer experience in two key ways.
They influence which technologies and tools will be purchased. Some of these technologies are used internally. One example is: customer relationship management software, which enables employees across the organization to better understand customers and their ongoing relationships with the company. Other tools — like content management systems — directly affect the information that customers can access through digital touchpoints like the Web and mobile devices.

Having attended Oracle's customer event a couple of weeks ago, I wasn't sure I'd be able to make it to Emptoris's Empower event this year, but I'm glad I was able to attend. The quality of the external speakers, the access to Emptoris execs, the content mix (high-level procurement trends and implementation best practices), the plentiful opportunities to chat with customers, partners, and employees — all these made it an extremely valuable couple of days.
A key event theme was the urgent need for procurement leaders to improve their risk monitoring and mitigation processes. For instance, according to Deloitte Consulting's 2011 CPO survey, nearly 60% of respondents believe their risk exposure is higher than a year ago. Emptoris's President & CEO Patrick Quirk explained his company's response, with an ambitious roadmap to convert the acquired Xcitec product (now called Emptoris Supplier Lifecycle Management) into a comprehensive supplier risk and performance management suite (SRPM), in line with our description of this category: FAQs About Supplier Risk And Performance Management Software.

How much of your IT operating and capital budget will go to UC related investments? I predict that spending by large distributed enterprises (defined as firms with 1,000 or more employees) on communications infrastructure and services will grow between 7% and 10% per year during the next three years. Moreover, there will be a gradual shift away from hardware to software, and wireless connectivity will account for MOST of the growth in communications services spending.
Momentum is building for broader UC adoption, and our Q1 2011 survey of 601 firms that have implemented or are piloting a UC solution showed that 55% of the respondents consider UC a top priority this year.
There are two BIG drivers of widespread UC adoption in large distributed organizations: Mobility and new business models (how UC technology and services are delivered). Mobility will become the "tail that wags the UC dog." Why? Consider the management and usage cost efficiencies offered by fixed mobile convergence (FMC) technology — least-cost routing savings including reduced international calling and roaming charges, to name one.

I handle many inquiry calls from clients asking for help negotiating with large suppliers, and often they claim the supplier is a strategic partner. I've noticed that many clients use that term, but when I ask them what it actually means in practice, I get varying responses. So Forrester recently surveyed over 150 sourcing and vendor management (SVM) professionals to ask them what they expect to get from strategic partners, and what they offer in return. I was bit disappointed with the results. For instance, while 68% said they would always expect partners to give them the best possible discount, only 6% said they would always make the partner their sole source for specific technology categories.
What's wrong with this picture? Well, to quote Godfather 2, when explaining Hyman Roth's longevity, Johnnie Ola says, "He always made money for his partners." That concept doesn't seem to apply in the technology world. On the one hand, buyers complain about vendors' unfair policies (see my recent report Buyers Should Reject Unfair Licensing Rules) and transactional sales approach. Yet OTOH they want to squeeze their partners' margins while still expecting them to sell their wares site-by-site and product-by-product around their enterprise. As one senior software executive told me the other day, "Sure, I'll waive my usual policies for partners, but only if they let me off the huge cost of supporting individual, small product buying decisions."

I completed my Global Entry application earlier this week (www.globalentry.gov). They appeal to international travelers by promising the ability "to get on their way quickly and easily by using automated kiosks." The idea of an expedited process is very appealing. I've found that it's very hard for those customs officials to believe that you've been in a country or set of countries for 5 days and you didn't buy anything. Obviously they don't know the life of an analyst. I barely had time to eat and sleep; when would I have gone shopping?!? I get tired of having to explain that to these guys.
I'm a Forrester analyst, but lately I've been feeling more like a marriage counselor. Not that I mind that role; you get to hear all sorts of juicy gossip and sordid tales of woe. But I didn't anticipate it in my job at Forrester. I've spent many 30-minute counseling sessions (inquiries) listening to Vendor Management dudes (professionals) complaining about their Procurement spouses (colleagues) and vice versa. It appears that both parties are approaching married life (work) from two different sides of the bed. It feels like this arranged marriage is doomed to fail. But enough with the marriage analogy; this is a serious issue that seems to be pretty prevalent in the corporate world today.
So what are the major areas of disconnect?

I've just returned home from San Francisco where I was attending the Oracle Openworld 2011 (#OOW11) event. Overall it's a good event, although, as usual, a bit frustrating. Instead of examples of how customers are using its products to transform their businesses, the Oracle keynotes always descend into technical detail, with too little vision and too many unimpressive product demonstrations and 'paid programming' infomercials (if I had wanted to listen to Cisco, Dell, and EMC plugging their products, I'd have gone to their events).
When, a month ago, I accepted Oracle's invitation to attend #OOW11, I thought I'd be able to escape the oncoming British autumn for some California sunshine and watch some Redsox playoffs games on TV. Well not only did the Sox's form plummet in September like a stock market index, but Northern California turned out to be 20° colder than London. But despite that, and the all-day Sunday trip to get to the event, one can't help being impressed by the attendee buzz and by the logistical achievement, with over 45,000 attendees accommodated around the Bay Area and bussed in and out every day to the conference location. Luckily, Oracle looks after its analyst guests very well, so we were within walking distance at the excellent Intercontinental Hotel.

Cisco announced today a five-year strategic alliance with Citrix in the desktop virtualization space. As a first outcome of their new alliance, Cisco WAAS will be optimized for Citrix XenDesktop. It's designed to improve the end-user experience such that it has "LAN-like" performance. This translates into the capability of a more rich Unified Communication experience—HD quality video, faster print jobs, and improved app performance. Rather than buying several products to get this done, this is nicely packaged as one solution for virtual and physical desktops.
What does this mean for Sourcing and Vendor Management (SVM) professionals and what can you do?
1. If your organization isn't looking at this, it will be forced to within your next refresh cycle. While Desktop Virtualization has been around for years, it's more recently been attracting enterprise customers at a very robust growth rate. Most resellers I've spoken to enjoy double digit semi-annual growth rates as high as 40% in inquiries and many of them include desktop virtualization on tablets. At this stage, most companies are still in education mode, but adoption appears to be steadily increasing. If you're not working on it right now, spend the time to get educated on the various flavors and the elements of the project that lead to savings for your organization. ROI will vary from company to company due to the varying desktop environments.

I recently appeared on CIO Talk Radio to discuss the growing challenge brought by increased diversity of computing devices in the workplace and the bring-your-own-device (BYOD) trend. There is no question that customers are increasingly embracing their own technology in the workplace, and in many cases believe the technology they themselves own is superior to that provided by their employers. The tablet computer is certainly one big part of this, and the ultimate impact may be as disruptive as that brought by the original PC.
IT executives like Steve Phillips, Senior Vice President and Chief Information Office of Avnet, my co-panelist on the CIO Radio broadcast, are beginning to see that desktop virtualization provides a potentially useful means to separate the realm of the corporate environment from the private world of the device user in this increasingly diverse environment. Outsourcing suppliers are definitely seeing this trend. They are gearing up for the potentially significant opportunity by running pilots and helping customers implement desktop scenarios, although with some differences from the past: For one thing, a focus on a more selective tiered approach to desktop virtualization as opposed to a one-size-fits-all. That tendency, along with the accompanying high cost for bandwidth, were a stumbling point in the past, as well as several other factors described by my colleague Steven Johnson.
But what do you think? And if considering desktop virtualization, do you envision a role for service partners or will you go it alone?

When it comes to a show such as Dancing With The Stars there are always going to be a few changes in the line up and the format from time to time, so it was no major surprise to learn that Brooke Burke had decided not to return as host for the new season of the show. Brooke announced her departure a few months back and her exit has been met with mixed response from fans.
Despite some fans feeling that Brooke Burke has made the wrong decision to leave Dancing With The Stars, she insists that she has made the right choice and is still very happy with her decision. Brooke says that she felt it was the perfect time to leave the show and has no regrets about her decision.
Burke told E! News, "I feel good about it. I mean, I'm excited about this time and change and I'm really committed to doing something creative and, you know, being free from that ABC contract now allows me to do anything. So that's a really great feeling. I think I left at the right time."
The producers of Dancing With The Stars did not mess around when it came to hiring a replacement for Brooke Burke and, just two days after the announcement of her departure from the show, it was confirmed that Erin Andrews had been brought on board. Brooke has now given her views on her replacement, claiming that she does not believe that Erin is right for the job.
Burke added, "I'm not sure they made the right choice—I won't get into that. But I'm so fortunate that my fans are so loyal and supportive and, you know, I have no hard feelings. I wish them all a huge success, but I think I did everything I could do in the ballroom and I think it was a good time to move on."
Do you think Dancing With The Stars was right to replace Brooke Burke with Erin Andrews?
