Conflicts keeping Marines on march
Outgoing commanding general of West Coast force sees no slowdown ahead
CAMP PENDLETON Even if the last Marines return from Afghanistan this year as planned, the West Coast force headquartered at Camp Pendleton will be as busy as ever in coming years because of tensions flaring around the world, its outgoing commanding general predicted.
The Corps is downsizing in the post-Iraq, post-Afghanistan combat era. But Lt. Gen. John Toolan sees no peace dividend on the horizon for war weary troops and their families.
In fact, the desired 2-to-1 ratio of time at home versus time traveling at work may decrease for the roughly 52,000 Marines and sailors of the 1st Marine Expeditionary Force, he said.
In coming years, the new commanding general of the force will likely face tough tradeoffs amid conflicts in the Middle East, expanding commitments in the Asia Pacific region, and pleas by combatant commanders in Africa and South America for deployable forces.
What's more, renewed insurgent violence in Iraq may draw Marines back to their former battleground or delay plans to withdraw from Afghanistan, Toolan said. Already, a new special purpose Marine Air-Ground Task Force of 2,200 West Coast Marines transported by MV-22 Osprey tilt-rotor aircraft is preparing to mobilize by October for U.S. Central Command.
"I don't see a post-conflict phase," Toolan said in an interview. "I just see … one continuous friction point after another."
Toolan, who served at Camp Pendleton since September 2012, relinquished command Friday of the 1st Marine Expeditionary Force to Lt. Gen. David Berger.
Before picking up a third star, Berger transferred his command of Marine Air-Ground Combat Center Twentynine Palms on Thursday to Maj. Gen. Lewis Craparotta.
Berger, like Toolan, is an infantryman with significant combat experience. Maj. Gen. Berger served in Afghanistan in 2012 as commanding general of 1st Marine Division (Forward) during Operation Enduring Freedom.
As a colonel in 2005 and head of Regimental Combat Team 8, Berger led Marines during the brutal second battle of Fallujah, Iraq.
Toolan was commanding general in Afghanistan of 2nd Marine Expeditionary Force (Forward) in 2011. As a colonel in March 2003 he led Regimental Combat Team 1 on the March to Baghdad during the invasion of Iraq.
Now Toolan is slated to lead Marine Forces Pacific in Hawaii, replacing Lt. Gen. Terry Robling.
As the Corps downsizes from a wartime high of 202,000 to 175,000, its West Coast Marine division has contracted to three infantry regiments comprising a total of 11 infantry battalions, plus an artillery regiment.
Recently deactivated units include the 3rd Battalion, 4th Marine Regiment at Twentynine Palms, which ceased operations in May.
Although the current plan to withdraw the Marine combat force in Afghanistan under the command of Brig. Gen. Daniel Yoo is proceeding, "I think this Iraq equation is going to have an impact," Toolan said.
In Afghanistan, "We did our job. We provided stability, security," he said, but "it's more than just the military hammer in the toolbox.
"It takes time to build the economy and the government that you need to really be stable. And when you take out that stabilizing force prematurely… you run the risk of never being able to do the finishing touch.

Caller Authentication: Gateway to Better Customer Care Experience
Hide details
Brett Beranek, Solutions Marketing Manager at Nuance, Dan Miller, Senior Analyst, Opus Research
A recent survey by Opus Research and Coleman Parkes found that 85% of callers felt dissatisfaction with the automated systems for handling caller authentication. This is a serious matter because 83% of calls to enterprise contact centers require some sort of caller validation or verification in order to be successful. Failure to authenticate is both a barrier to customer satisfaction and an expense to contact center operators.
Join Dan Miller, Sr. Analyst at Opus Research and Brett Beranek, Solutions Marketing Manager at Nuance, as they delve into the survey data to describe the root cause of caller discontent and propose new methods to overcome authentication speed bumps.

Explosive Mobile Engagement: "Go Native"
Jun 25 2015
5:00 pm
45 mins
Carla Fitzgerald, Chief Marketing Officer, Smith Micro
If the word "native" makes you think advertising, you're like most digital marketers relying on Facebook and Google for in-stream ads that appear organic. However, when it comes to smartphones, "native" isn't an ad, it's a way of using local intelligence to truly understand context and get beyond the beacon. Native control of functionality and consumer interaction makes the difference between single-digit app utilization and the full potential of personalized mobile marketing.

Top 5 Things Marketers Need to Understand about Location and Privacy
Jul 2 2014
47 mins
Greg Sterling, Opus Research; Jules Polonetsky, Future of Privacy Forum
Consumers are ambivalent about online privacy. Some surveys suggest outright hostility to mobile-location tracking; others argue users are happy to share personal information for clear rewards and benefits. Consumers also express a desire for greater personalization of online, mobile and shopping experiences. How can these contradictory positions be reconciled?
The privacy landscape is evolving rapidly with Apple making location privacy changes in iOS 8 and state governments getting involved in regulating privacy in the absence of federal action.
Rather than an "issue that will blow over," privacy has become a central discussion for marketers and brands. It's the flipside of "big data." But timidity, passivity and denial won't work. Stakeholders must proactively tackle the issue head on.
Join Greg Sterling, Senior Analyst with Opus Research, and Future of Privacy Forum founder Jules Polonetsky for an informative, interactive webinar about the latest developments in location and privacy on Wednesday, July 2, 10 am PDT /1 pm EDT.
Everything You Always Wanted To Know about Beacons
Apr 30 2014
49 mins
Greg Sterling, Opus Research; Steve Hegenderfer, Bluetooth SIG
Beacons are hot. Once dismissed by many, they are now being widely deployed in retail and grocery stores, stadiums and entertainment venues. Apple's support for Bluetooth (iBeacon) has put the technology on the map and driven its growing adoption.
While many people have read about iBeacon, they don't clearly understand what beacons can and can't do. Join Opus Research Senior Analyst Greg Sterling and Steve Hegenderfer, director of developer programs at Bluetooth SIG, for an informative and interactive discussion about all things beacon.
Bluetooth SIG is the group that oversees the standards and licensing of Bluetooth. We assure you Hegenderfer will speak plain English during a presentation aimed at marketers, agencies and business decision-makers.
In this accessible, non-technical session you'll learn:
• What iBeacon is and how it fits within the larger Bluetooth landscape
• How many different types of beacons there are and who makes them
• The cost, lifespan and transmission range of beacons
• Optimal indoor beacon use cases (and things that beacons don't do well)
• How marketers/retailers can avoid spamming consumers with beacon triggered notifications
• How indoor messaging and notifications can be personalized
• Whether beacons can equally be used for indoor marketing and analytics
Voice Biometrics: The Benefits of a Unified Approach to Mobile Authentication
Apr 29 2014
47 mins
Dan Miller, Opus Research; Nik Stanbridge, VoiceVault
As smartphones now play key roles in e-commerce and personal communications for hundreds of millions of mobile users, our advice is, "authenticate early and often." As using the prevailing PIN and password-based systems is easier said than done, voiceprints provide the easy-to-implement and easy-to-use alternative that supports a "unified" approach to mobile authentication.
Join Dan Miller, senior analyst and founder of Opus Research, and Nik Stanbridge, vice president of product marketing at VoiceVault, to engage in a lively discussion of:
· How mobility is driving the need for stronger authentication to build trusted links between and among individuals and enterprises
· What voice biometrics technologies are; and how they differ from other factors for promoting security and personalization
· How a unified approach to design and deployment saves time, money and effort for application developers and solution providers
· How to get started to gain experience with a unified voice biometric product
Executives at firms with an interest in providing the best, most personalized mobile experience for customers and employees should take part in this webcast. So should mobile application developers who recognize that strong, simple authentication is key to supporting secure payments and highly personalized services.
Indoor Location: Early Adopter Case Studies and Lessons Learned
Feb 25 2014
49 mins
Greg Sterling, Opus Research; Nathan Pettyjohn, aisle411; Jon Rosen, iInside
There's a great deal of hype surrounding iBeacon right now. But that technology is just one part of a much larger story about indoor location.
Using a range of technologies, major retailers, malls, airports and others are testing or rolling out indoor location in their venues and stores. We've come a great distance since last year when few people understood the benefits of indoor positioning and real-world analytics.
Join aisle411, iInside and Opus Research's Greg Sterling for a webinar and discussion about the current state of indoor location. The webinar will feature existing, in-market B2B and B2C case studies.
What you'll learn:
•How in-store mobile brand advertising impacts sales
•How indoor location can be used to combat retail showrooming
•How in-store (and even department level) presence is being used to measure the offline effectiveness of traditional and digital advertising.

The Business Case for Passive, Voice Based Authentication
Sep 17 2013
47 mins
Jade Khan, Solutions Marketing Manager, NICE; Dan Miller, Senior Analyst, Opus Research
Join Opus Research and NICE Systems for a fact-filled discussion of passive voice authentication. Companies deploy this technology in the contact center to overcome adoption barriers and garner financial and operational benefits that pave the way for bringing strong authentication to all customer touchpoints.
Customer care specialists have already discovered that huge benefits result when they shorten the time required for caller authentication. Shorter calls save costs and increase customer satisfaction. New technologies enable them to take a passive approach to customer enrollment, accelerating the time it takes to extend these benefits to all callers and stepping up the pace at which trusted communications links can be established.
Dan Miller, senior analyst at Opus, will describe the trend toward passive enrollment and authentication, what it is and why it's important for firms in financial services, telecommunications, retailing, healthcare, insurance and government. Jade Kahn, Solutions Marketing Manager at NICE, will then outline the steps that companies can take to move ahead with passive authentication and provide a proposed roadmap from contact center to support multiple customer and consumer touchpoints.
Register now to learn:
•Why is there so much excitement about passive enrollment?
•Where passive enrollment can be leveraged?
•What is involved from the caller's perspective
•What are the financial benefits in the contact center?

Beyond CTR: Tracking Mobile Ad Impact on Store Visits
Sep 10 2013
48 mins
Greg Sterling, Opus Research; David Shim, Placed; Monica Ho, xAd
The offline impact of digital ads has always been elusive. Marketers track "online conversions" mostly because they can't follow consumers into stores (where 94% of buying happens). But online conversions are just a fraction of "online-to-offline" sales.
Increasingly it's becoming possible to track how online/mobile ads directly impact offline consumer behavior. The implications are dramatic for all of digital media and marketing.
Placed CEO David Shim and xAd VP Monica Ho will discuss how new measurement tools let agencies, brands and marketers go beyond CTR to understand mobile advertising's impact on store visits.
Placed has developed a "Nielsen panel for the real world" and xAd is starting to use it on client campaigns. Join them, together with Greg Sterling, senior analyst with Opus Research, for a free webinar that will examine:
•The market trend toward closed-loop measurement
•How offline panel measurement works
•What new insights are now available to marketers, publishers and networks
•Why offline ROI measurement is a key to shifting more ad budgets to digital
•A just-completed case study on mobile-to-store measurement

Greg Sterling, Senior Analyst, Opus Research & Jon Rosen, EVP, iInside
One of the most profound developments in digital marketing, customer care and analytics is advent of indoor location. While this new "industry" is in its infancy, it's impact will be profound over time.
Indoor location and marketing are being made possible by the mass adoption of smartphones and nearly ubiquitous public WiFi. But we're just starting to imagine what's possible: more personalized shopping experiences, better data on customer behavior, and greater visibility into what online and mobile ads actually deliver people to the point of sale.
Indoor location represents the true marriage of the online with the offline. Yet indoor location and marketing are still not well understood. Join Jon Rosen, EVP with iInside, and Greg Sterling, senior analyst with Opus Research, as they explore:
• What indoor location technologies are in use today?
• What data can be captured and are being captured?
• Consumer willingness to share indoor location
• Specific retail and merchant case studies
• Privacy considerations
• Venue adoption timelines
• Broader digital marketing implications
The Defining Moments Series: Personal Virtual Assistants

Norman Winarsky (Siri Co-Founder & VP, SRI Ventures), Phil Gray (Executive Vice President, Interactions Corporation)
This is a "Defining Moment" for the PVA (Personal Virtual Assistant). More than two years have passed since Apple introduced us to Siri and raised expectations for mobile phones and other computing platforms to be able to recognize, understand and react to our spoken input. Siri's success, as well as its perceived deficiencies has attracted a slew of competitors, imitators and alternatives. This begs several questions:
What does the term "Virtual Assistant" mean?
What problems to Virtual Assistants solve?
Are they mobile, by definition, or are the prospects better for "branded" virtual assistants offered by business enterprises?
What tasks can we reasonably expect them to carry out for us today… and in the future?
What business models support PVAs? Do revenues come from transaction support? (Cost-savings for automating customer care, phone-based marketing, etc.)
Join us for an unrehearsed, spontaneous discussion that includes:
Norman Winarsky - Siri Co-Founder & VP of Ventures, SRI
Phil Gray - Executive Vice President, Interactions Corporation

The "Friction-Free" Self-Service Challenge
Sep 11 2012
47 mins
Justin Lemrow, Director of Continuous Improvement, Contact Solutions; Dan Miller, Sr. Analyst, Opus Research
When customers call your company, they have a single objective in mind: Fast, frictionless results. They equate "service quality" with quick resolution of their problems by a live agent. If they are put on hold, confronted with confusing options or delivered to an individual who is not "up-to-speed" with their requirements, they think less of your company and its brand.
Customers equate satisfaction with reaching a live person. Yet our research and empirical data show that what customers really want is fast, friction-free resolution of their specific problems – whether its on a Web site, mobile app, voice response system or through a live agent. Achieving long-term customer satisfaction is a long-range goal that requires constant monitoring and improvement.
Join Dan Miller, Sr. Analyst at Opus Research, and Justin Lemrow, Director of Continuous Improvement at Contact Solutions, as they discuss how to strike the right balance between automated self-service and human assisted care in order to achieve high-levels of customer satisfaction at relatively low-levels of expense. Their observations will be grounded in the benchmark findings from a financial services company that conducts constant quality assessments of how well the company recognizes and resolves each customer's intent, interaction and perception.
Caller Authentication: Gateway to Better Customer Care Experience
Aug 1 2012
47 mins
Brett Beranek, Solutions Marketing Manager at Nuance, Dan Miller, Senior Analyst, Opus Research
A recent survey by Opus Research and Coleman Parkes found that 85% of callers felt dissatisfaction with the automated systems for handling caller authentication. This is a serious matter because 83% of calls to enterprise contact centers require some sort of caller validation or verification in order to be successful. Failure to authenticate is both a barrier to customer satisfaction and an expense to contact center operators.
Join Dan Miller, Sr. Analyst at Opus Research and Brett Beranek, Solutions Marketing Manager at Nuance, as they delve into the survey data to describe the root cause of caller discontent and propose new methods to overcome authentication speed bumps.
Finding the L Spot: The Hype and Reality of Local-Mobile Advertising
May 23 2012
49 mins
Monica Ho, xAd, Vice President of Marketing and Greg Sterling, Opus Research's Senior Analyst
Somewhere between 20% and 30% of traffic to many websites is now coming from mobile devices, depending on the category. In specific local categories the number is as high as 50%.
Consumers have repeatedly indicated their preference for localized ads and see them as more relevant than "generic" ads. There are also several very bullish forecasts for localized mobile advertising. Yet most "local" mobile ads aren't more specific than regional or metro-area targeting. And only about 5% of mobile ads carry a precise "lat-long."
Why is this the case and what must happen to realize the promise of "LoMo" advertising? Join Monica Ho, xAd Vice President of Marketing and Opus Research's Senior Analyst Greg Sterling for a discussion of the opportunities – and challenges – of locally targeted mobile advertising today.
Sterling will provide findings on consumer preferences for localized advertising as well as performance data comparing local-mobile ads to national ads. He'll also present a recent case study comparing ad performance across five mobile ad networks.
xAd's Monica Ho will talk about the opportunities and challenges of location targeting .She'll also present the 5 mobile marketing best practices that every marketer/agency should know in order to drive true performance out of mobile advertising.
Webinar: Voice-based Authentication In The Cloud
Mar 20 2012
47 mins
John Amein, Senior VP Product Management, Voxeo, Peter Soufleris President, Voice Biometric Group, Dan Miller, Opus Research
Fast, convenient and secure user authentication is a must for companies that focus on providing their customer, prospects and employees with the best user experience possible. That's why many of the most forward-looking enterprises are taking serious stock of their options for ways to identify and validate the people at the other end of a phone conversation. Voiceprints are emerging as attractive alternatives to vulnerable PINs and commonly asked questions, such as "mother's maiden name" or "last 4-digits of your Social Security Number."
A growing number of companies are using hosted services platforms to carry out voice-based authentication. A hosted approach provides them with levels of flexibility, affordability and scalability that premises-based approaches do not. They help "future-proof" implementations, making it easier to add applications, enrollees and "hooks" into complementary security and authentication infrastructure.
Join Opus Research, Voxeo and Voice Biometrics Group in a webcast that describes the demand for strong, context aware authentication; the variety of voice biometrics-based solutions; and the advantages of taking a "hosted approach" to meeting identification and verification challenges in ways that comply with security and privacy concerns associated with Financial, Healthcare, Insurance and Government Services.

Pharrell, Usher, Drake, Lil Wayne + More to Perform at 2014 BET Awards
Music superstars Pharrell Williams, Usher, Jennifer Hudson, Drake and Lil Wayne are set to perform at the 2014 BET Awards later this month.
Music superstars Pharrell Williams, Usher, Jennifer Hudson, Drake and Lil Wayne are set to perform at the 2014 BET Awards later this month.
Chris Brown has been released from jail, L.A. Sheriff Deputy Tony Moore announced today. The troubled singer, who turned 25 last month, was released just after midnight on Monday, June 2, after being locked up since the middle of March.
Ask any rapper who their biggest influences are and you'll probably hear the same answers across the board: Big Daddy Kane, Rakim and Kool G Rap on the East Coast, Scarface, Pimp C, and Eightball & MJG in the South, and Ice Cube and Snoop Dogg out West. But why doesn't anyone mention the most influential rapper of all time, The Notorious B.I.G.?
Chart-topping superstars Jay Z, Beyonce and Drake lead the nominations for the 2014 BET Awards.
Usher performs a sexy rendition of his latest single, 'Good Kisser,' on 'The Voice.'
Chris Brown was visually dejected as he received word that he would be spending the next 131 days in jail.
Model Karrueche Tran, aka Chris Brown's off-and-on girlfriend, gets all wet and sudsy for The Hundreds Summer 2014 issue.
I believe once you become a mega star or married to a mega star,, you lose touch with reality.
Celebrities like Will Smith, Tom Cruise, Chris Brown, Lil Wayne, and the list goes longer than I would care to type.
The moment David Letterman announced his retirement from 'The Late Show,' speculation began toward possible replacements, though very few of them were given to Letterman's 'Late Show'-following host Craig Ferguson. Stephen Colbert's quick acceptance of the gig left people questioning if Ferguson will remain with 'The Late Late Show', and it seems Ferguson has officially decided to step down at the end of the year.
Chris Brown's bodyguard was found guilty of misdemeanor assault during a hearing in Washington, D.C., on Monday (April 21).
Eminem and Rihanna certainly brought the energy with their power-packed performance of 'The Monster' at the 2014 MTV Movie Awards. The Detroit rapper and Barbadian beauty rocked the mic as they sang and rapped one of the biggest (and best) songs of 2014.

Mythic Journeys
By BOOKTALKER
Added: Fri, 26 Nov 2010 14:45:56 UTC
Hi – I'm new to the site but not to the ideas… I'm a writer and have been doing a lot of research into the history of religion, particularly the "Abrahamic" faiths. I've also been looking into the history of story-telling, and myths (especially the "Monomyth"). I think I'm close to putting two and two together, but as I work alone most of the time, it would be nice to hear what others think about these things, and hopefully to generate some discussion that will help me form a clearer view.
What interests me more that facts, figures, dates and historical characters is the "WHYs" and "HOWs" in all of this. WHY do people "need" religion? HOW did religion get to be what it is today?
My personal view, based on the evidence I've found and tried to verify at source as far as possible, is that neither Jesus nor Muhammad existed, at least not in the personifications we have come to know. Christianity only got going decades after when Jesus was supposed to have lived. With Islam, it took at least a hundred years before the first mentions of a man called Muhammad, and a book called the Qur'an. It's highly unlikely that Mecca existed before the 8th or 9th centuries.
But what's undeniable is that these religions carry the same timeless messages that have endured over time (many thousands of years), even if their roots and the messages themselves have become obscured and distorted. One of my main sources of reference has been Joseph Campbell's "The Hero with a Thousand Faces". Has anyone read this? In a nutshell, it shows how stories, and religions, are all based on a collective universal need to have codes by which to live our lives, and that most - if not all - religions, carry the same message if one looks between the lines.
So if Christianity and Islam are simply mythic stories, and their "prophets" were not real people, and the messages didn't come from them directly, how did the religions get started, and why? And who by?
Does anyone have any thoughts on this to start with?
Simply ... should I read the bible?

Now the GOP's 'Plan B' _ then the real compromise?
Republican officials said that members of the GOP leadership had balked at the terms that were emerging. Democrats said Boehner's abrupt decision to shift to his Plan B - legislation drafted unilaterally by Republicans - reflected a calculation that he lacked support from his own rank and file to win the votes needed for the type of agreement he was negotiating with the president.
Asked at a news conference a few hours before the scheduled vote if that were so, Boehner avoided a direct answer. "Listen, the president knows that I've been able to keep my word on every agreement we've ever made," he said.
At the same time, Boehner hinted broadly that however Democrats end up responding to the legislation he placed before the House, it will not be the end of the attempt to keep the economy from reaching the fiscal cliff.
"Our country faces serious challenges. The president and I in our respective roles have a responsibility to work together to get them resolved. I expect that we'll continue to work together."
Obama made it clear on Wednesday that he, too, is prepared for further negotiations, and numerous officials in both parties in the Senate predicted that might happen quickly after the votes in the House.
The tax bill would prevent scheduled increases from taking effect on Jan. 1 on all income under $1 million. Above that, the current rate of 35 percent would rise to 39.6 percent, the level in effect more than a decade ago when then-President George W. Bush signed tax cuts into law that now are expiring.
The top rates also would rise on capital gains and dividends from 15 percent to 20 percent.
By any measure, the two bills in the House were far removed from the latest offers that officials said Obama and Boehner had tendered.
Obama is now seeking $1.2 trillion in higher tax revenue, down from the $1.6 trillion he initially sought. He also has softened his demand for higher tax rates on household incomes so they would apply to incomes over $400,000 instead of the $250,000 he cited during his successful campaign for a new term.
He also has offered more than $800 billion in spending cuts over a decade, half of it from Medicare and Medicaid, $200 billion from farm and other benefit programs, $100 billion from defense and $100 billion from a broad swath of government accounts ranging from parks to transportation to education.
In a key concession to Republicans, the president also has agreed to slow the rise in cost-of-living increases in Social Security and other benefit programs, at a savings estimated at about $130 billion over a decade.
By contrast, Boehner's most recent offer allowed for about $940 billion in higher taxes over a decade, with higher rates for annual incomes over $1 million.
His latest offer seeks about $1.2 trillion in spending cuts, not counting the change in the cost-of-living adjustment that Obama has said he can accept. He is seeking $600 billion in savings from Medicare and Medicaid, $200 billion from other benefit programs and $300 billion from a range of government accounts.

VPs of Research & Development enjoy a hefty income, with average pay passing six figures ($153K) annually in the United States. Cash earnings for VPs of Research & Development — which occasionally include more than $59K from bonuses and more than $30K from profit sharing — stretch from around $100K to approximately $255K. Experience level is the biggest factor affecting pay for this group, followed by geography. VPs of Research & Development who took the survey are largely men, dominating at 83 percent. Nearly all report receiving medical coverage from their employers and a strong majority collect dental insurance. Most VPs of Research & Development like their work and job satisfaction is high. The data for this synopsis comes from respondents who took the PayScale salary survey.
Add this chart to your site:
Copy and paste this HTML:
A vice president (VP) of research and development (R&D) is an executive who oversees and supervises all development and innovation efforts by a company. They work to recruit product development team leaders to handle these efforts and directs R&D teams with budget approvals, scheduling, and deadline management. The VP also works with other teams within the company — such as sales, marketing, engineering, and manufacturing — to bring new products from the research and development side to market or implementation within the organization.Read More...
Usually a board-level executive, the VP of R&D typically spends much of their time directing R&D teams rather than performing hands-on supervision. The VP usually receives progress reports and conducts regular meetings with team leaders at a middle-management level. They assess the efforts of R&D teams, adjust scheduling and personnel, and help steer research efforts. The VP helps create an environment that fosters innovation in developing new products, creating improvements on existing products or services, or even developing new processes and technology for the organization to improve efficiency.
As an upper-level executive within a company, a vice president for research and development typically needs at least a bachelor's degree in some scientific, business, or engineering discipline, with many companies preferring individuals with master's degrees in business administration. The VP typically works within his or her own office and has an administrative staff he or she directly supervises. As a supervisor of a department that may consist of many teams, the VP of R&D should expect that travel will be a regular part of his or her job as well.
VPs of Research & Development who responded to the survey report just a handful of professional skills. Product Development and Project Management are considered valuable skills and can increase employee pay. Skills that pay less than market rate include Project Management. Aptitude in Product Development tends to also indicate an understanding of Project Management.
Median of all compensation (including tips, bonus, and overtime) by years of experience.
For many VPs of Research & Development, experience and pay levels seem to be correlated; more years in the business generally lead to more money. New workers enjoy hefty six-figure paychecks when they take on this position — $100K per year is the median for people who claim less than five years' experience. For VPs of Research & Development, 10 to 20 years of experience on the job amounts to an average salary of $168K. Folks who have racked up more than 20 years in the field report incomes that aren't that much higher than less experienced individuals' earnings; the veterans make just $179K on average.

He returned to Boston in 1988 but also moonlighted as a DJ in Boston clubs. He attended college in Boston. He quit his legal-review job in 1991 to work as a remixer under the management of Neil Petricone and X-Mix. He took up a DJ residency at the Loft, a top Boston nightclub at the time. He released his first official single, a mix of Deep Creed's "Stay On My Mind" through Nervous Records.
He released "Move It To the Left" (credited to Sultans of Swing) in 1992 on the Strictly Rhythm label, which became a moderate club hit and led to a string of singles released under several monikers for that label. His first track to make the Billboard Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart was "Witch Doktor," which made the top 5 in 1994, and led to opportunities to remix acts such as New Order, Deep Forest, Jimmy Somerville, Deee-Lite, and Faithless.
However, it was the "Professional Widow" remix that established him and became a dance hit around the world as well as a number-one hit in the UK. Unfortunately, Van Helden did not receive a penny for this remix because he presented it non-commissioned and, thus, was not entitled to compensation. However, it led to work remixing the Rolling Stones, Janet Jackson, Britney Spears, and Puff Daddy, as well as Daft Punk and Sneaker Pimps, adding to his reputation as one of the world's top house-music musicians.
"Cha Cha" was another top-ten dance hit from his first album, Old School Junkies, which was released in 1996, along with "The Funk Phenomena." A greatest-hits album appeared the next year, followed by a breakbeat album later in 1997. "U Don't Know Me" was a number-two hit on the Billboard dance chart, a number one in the UK, and a top-20 single on the pop charts in Australia and Canada. The song was the breakout track from his 2Future4U album, which was released stateside on Armand's own label, Armed Records.
Van Helden released the Killing Puritans album in 2000 (also on Armed Records), which contained the hit "Koochy." His single "Why Can't You Free Some Time" made it to number 34 in the UK in 2001. His New York: A Mix Odyssey album released in 2004 produced two hits: "Hear My Name," a collaboration with Spalding Rockwell that reached number 7 on the Billboard dance chart, number 34 in the UK, and the top 40 in Australia; and "My My My", which reached number 4 on the world internet charts, number 5 in the Belgian and Dutch charts, number 6 in Australia, number 15 in the UK, and top 30 in the world dance charts.
In 2005, he released the album Nympho, featuring the singles "Into Your Eyes," "My My My," "Hear My Name," and "When the Lights Go Down." The album reached the top 30 in Australia, and number 48 in the UK.
Van Helden was the featured DJ in the Southern Fried tent at Get Loaded in the Park at Clapham Common on the August bank holiday in 2005. He treated concertgoers with an incredible mash-up set that is still spoken about today about being one of his best performances.
In 2006, Armand re-released "My My My" featuring extra vocals from Tara Mcdonald, which reached number 12 on the UK Singles Charts.
In 2007, Armand Van Helden released his new album, Ghettoblaster, from which he released the singles "NYC Beat," which reached number 22 on the UK chart, and "I Want Your Soul," which reached number 19.
In 2008, Van Helden gained enormous commercial success by remixing INSPIRE, a #1-hit song by Japanese pop star Ayumi Hamasaki. This remix was released on the album Ayu-mi-x 6 -GOLD-. Also, in 2008, Van Helden is set to release two albums, a best-of album titled You Don't Know Me and a mix album titled New York: a Mix Odyssey 2.

Ram Drive utilities for windows 7
by spadeskingtx - 5/8/13 3:23 PM
Just curious. Microsoft does not appear to provide a utility any more to create a ram drive using memory to simulate a disk drive. If I have just overlooked it can someone point me to how to create it.
Otherwise has anyone purchased a product that works well and which you recommend? Or any you would avoid?
Why would your recommend or avoid?

Adventure Time: Hey Ice King! Why'd You Steal Our Garbage?!
Age of people playing this?
- Back To:

Hey everyone, I'm a 24 year old college graduate with a full time job. I've seen about 5-10 episodes of the show and thought it was funny in a trippy sort of way. Not a super dedicated fan but I definitely like the show.
Anyways, I just read the IGN review and really want to get this game. They didn't say anything to make it sound only suitable for children, but I still have this nagging feeling like maybe I shouldn't be so interested in this game.
So, I am anxious to learn if I'm in a minority hear or if there are others in my age group playing this game. I just want to make sure I'm not setting myself up for ridicule or odd looks from family members if I buy this game...
Thanks for any input. Guess I'm just being neurotic but I just have this complex that maybe I'm into something considered super immature and wonder if it says anything about me personally.
Finally, way to go Way forward! Way to deliver a licensed product that critics like.
" Hell is other people " (Sartre, No Exit)
I'm 26 and I love it. It reminds me of Legend of Zelda II, but as funny as the show. Pick it up.
I'm 22. I got the collector's edition and I am loving the game. definitely not the usual crappy licensed game, you can tell that they put effort into making the game faithful to the show. And while the game isn't that difficult, as a fan of zelda games and adventure time it was still pretty fun.
25, college grad (only part-time employed though, it stinks). Loved the show since the beginning. I even got to see the first ep at Comic-Con a few years ago.
Definitely recommend the game. It's rather short, but if you go into it without any guides or help, it'll last longer.

30, disabled from work related injury and multiple sclerosis, huge Adventure Time fan :D Seen every episode, it's definitely one of my favorite animated series of the last decade. This game is full of retro goodness, I grew up with the first 2 Zelda games and this game reminds me of many great childhood gaming sessions with my NES. Plus it's just a great retro styled game, I have no qualms with the length of the game; many of my favorite games can be completed in under an hour, lol.

It came out nice, smooth, and was easy to clean. Easilly my best dump this week. *switches over to wii* ~PyroSpark

Road Paint
Anyone know how to get Road Paint off of the paint...Had some Idiot drive thru the wet paint lines on the road and toss some up on the truck....looking for any known/proven methods to remove the splatter...without having to have truck repainted....
You may want to make a report to whoever was painting the lines, Dept. of Highways, municipality etc. where ever it occurred. Many areas now are using some sort of a water based line paint, I believe for environmental reasons. I have been told in my area there is a solution that the Department of Highways has that aids in the paint removal. Depending if it was partially their fault there may be some assistance there as well?
Down here in California, if we know whether the road is maintained by the city, county, or state.
We can call that entity & tell them what happened, they then send you to a detailing place that cleans it up, at no charge to us
the road paint is called TRAFFIC PAINT
If you decide to get it off yourself, one Counties website reads:
As soon as possible after getting paint from road stripes on your vehicle,
wash the vehicle at a pressure car wash. This will loosen and remove most
of the paint unless it has dried for more than a day.
If the car wash does not remove the paint, allow the water to dry off the
vehicle. Spray the paint residue with WD-40 and allow the WD-40 to stay on
the area for 1 to 2 hours, then rewash the vehicle. The WD-40 will soften
the traffic paint without hurting the vehicle finish. If there is a heavy
concentration, repeat the procedure.
For heavy accumulations or paint that has dried for several days, apply a
liberal coating of Vaseline to the dried traffic paint and allow to stay on
overnight. Take vehicle to a pressure car wash and wash. This should
remove most of the traffic paint. If not, repeat the procedure.
After cleaning the paint away, apply a good wax to the vehicle's finish.
Wax should remove any lasting signs of the traffic paint.
Wheel wells are very difficult to remove the paint from since they are
normally a flat finish. Apply a liberal coating of Vaseline to the area and
leave for several days and then pressure wash. Applying an alcohol such
as Solox or Rubbing Alcohol to the area in the wheel well will help to soften
any residue left after the Vaseline.
Bug & Tar remover has always worked wonders for me in cases like this.
My wife decided to follow the line painting truck while riding the double solid looking for a chance to pass. There was yellow all over the side of our caliber. And I mean everywhere. I got a good amount of it off with the pressure washer.
She got to scrub with some sort of "goo" remover. Came off fine.
i had some on my mazdas doors, was on there abnout 7 months before i removed it, soaked in bug and tar remover and went to work with a plastic razor blade, took a nice while but i got it all and no scratches in the paint. buffed after wards and good as new
not sure if a clay bar would work? i know they take off over spray pretty well, so it may help also
I am currently battling this, only I have been negligent for a long time. :doh: Clay bar does not work for paint that has been on there for awhile. I have also tried the bug/tar remover on it and not having much luck. I haven't heard of the WD-40 or Vaseline so I am going to try that this weekend.
I have had it in the wheel wheel of my car for the past 2 years. Nothing seemed to work. Time for me to try the WD-40 like suggested.

EA Confirms Timeframe For New Need for Speed, Dead Space Games
Posted on May 7, 2012 AT 04:25pm
As part of their financial call today, EA confirmed a timeframe for new chapters for two of their popular gaming franchises.
While what exactly the games will be wasn't announced, EA said that a new Need for Speed and new Dead Space game would be coming by the end of their fiscal year—which is over on March 31st, 2013. (Need for Speed's date was listed as being "Q3″ according to EA's presented release calendar, so that narrows its release down somewhat.)
A pretty safe bet for the Dead Space game would, no doubt, be Dead Space 3. As for Need for Speed, we reported about a month ago that South African retailer BTGames had listed "Need for Speed: Most Wanted 2″ as an upcoming title. So, I really wouldn't be surprised if that was indeed the case.

Gracepoint Boss: David Tennant's American Accent Is Impeccable
July 20th, 2014
David Tennant and Anna Gunn
On Fox's upcoming drama Gracepoint, David Tennant will look familiar to his fans, but he'll sound decidedly different.
The former Doctor Who star plays the lead detective on the murder mystery, an American adaptation of the British series Broadchurch — which also starred Tennant, and in the same role. "We did not have to loop a single word of his American accent," executive producer Carolyn Bernstein told reporters at the Television Critics Association fall previews on Sunday. "His American accent is impeccable."
Fox at the TCA fall previews: Get the latest news
Beyond the accent, Tennant said that interacting with different actors made the role feel different from the original. "It's such an unusual situation. "It's the same character but it's not. It's the same but different. They feel very different," he said.
On Gracepoint, Det. Emmett Carver (Tennant) heads up an investigation after the body of a local boy is found in a small town, events that Broadchurch viewers will recognize as almost shot-for-shot identical. Showrunner Dan Futterman explained, "We don't screw up what works… We start to veer from the [original] story line and introduce new characters."
Although Broadchurch revealed the identity of the killer in its emotional Season 1 finale, fans of the original series will still have surprises to look forward to on Gracepoint. "I don't want you to rule anybody out as a suspect," Futterman said. "We end in a very different place, which is very exciting for a first season, and what could be a great second season as well."
Gracepoint — which also stars Anna Gunn, Michael Pena, Kevin Zegers, and Nick Nolte — premieres Thursday, Oct. 2 at 9/8c on Fox.

"I think I'm going to have to give up acting as the kids hit the teenage years," the Maleficent star said, explaining that there would be "too much to manage at home." Jolie is not alone in her desire to explore other avenues. Last year, her longtime love also hinted at retirement, telling Australia's "60 Minutes" that he might want to stop acting within three years. "I wasn't actually putting an exact deadline on my expiration date, but I see it coming," Pitt clarified later at a "Moneyball" press conference in November 2011. "I just have other interests."

Big Ben strikes four, maybe six
If you live overseas, you likely call the game the Steelers play "American football" - to distinguish it from the sorts of football played locally.
When I was growing up in Australia, I was familiar with four codes of football - two types of rugby football (League and Union), soccer (the original football) and Australian Rules football (sometimes called aerial ping pong because of the frenetic back and forth kicking).
What strikes me about the punishment meted out to Ben Roethlisberger today by the NFL is how American it is. Justice in this country is often satisfied by an exchange or loss of money - and that is true here. The punishment really isn't about the games Big Ben will be made to miss - it is how much money he will be docked for missing them. He will lose $1.8 million for four games missed and $3.3 million if the suspension amounts to six games. That's some added bar tab.
And how will he get the lower suspension/less cut in pay? Why, by successfully completing that most American of remedies - counseling and treatment. Having been cleared of a crime, Big Ben stands accused of a moral failure. And how is a moral failure dealt with in America? It is made into a suitable case for treatment with professional evaluators. Perhaps this will work but I am left feeling skeptical.
American football indeed.

I had combo of Vaser/Smartlipo on my U/L Abs 10/21. Today was my 1st postop and my surgeon was upset that I was not still wearing my garment, binder and the foam sheet. The post op nurse told me to wear it all for the 1st week, then just wear my comp garment, which I have lived in. I think my results are great so far by he insists I now need to wear them all until swelling is gone. I am wondering if it is worth itsince i am 3.5 wk out. I think my results are great so far. Suggestions?
Do I Need a Binder and Garment After Vaser?
Doctor Answers 3
Follow postop instructions
Have a question? Ask a doctor
Vaser Liposuction
If the surgeon tells you to wear the garment, wear the garment. Thank you for your question and good luck with everything.

Compression and Binder after Vaser Liposuction
In most cases, 2 weeks of compression is fine after liposuction. However, it would be best to follow your own plastic surgeon's advise on this.

SEATTLE - Tammy Lanphere stepped inside, on a sunny day, to watch her favorite band, and say Thank You.
Lanphere has been grieving since the Oso Slide last month. Her uncle, Bill Welsh, lost his life March 22nd. The Arlington resident was at a home near Steelhead Drive to help a friend, when the massive slide occured.
He was a really loving, caring, very funny, natural teacher, for people, said Lamphere on Sunday night, just before a benefit concert at the Columbia City Theater. Organizers put on the show, featuring several live bands, to raise money for the United Way of Snohomish County. They were still tabulating the donations on Sunday night.
Lanphere says it is important to keep telling the story of the slide, and of the victims, like Welsh.
We want closure for other families, it's not just our family that is hurting, she says, We don't want people to stop and forget about whats happened, because we still have work to do, people to find, questions to be answered.

The WebForDoctors patient education content library consists of over 75 pages for conditions such as broken bones, the flu, and insect bites. These pages inform prospective patients about the condition, the symptoms, and when to seek medical aid. "These pages present our urgent care center as both a local resource and an immediate medical solution," says Dr. Jeffrey Bushnell, Principle/CEO of OnPoint Urgent Care in Aurora, CO. "By educating people about when to seek treatment for their condition, and about the abilities of an urgent care center to provide treatment, we are gaining new patients."
Urgent care centers are ideal for medical issues that are not life threatening, yet do require care on short notice. They provide primary care, along with treatment for many emergencies and other conditions on a walk-in basis. In most cases, wait time will be shorter, and cost can be significantly less, as compared to a visit to an emergency room. This type of practice began in the 1970's, and has now grown to approximately 10,000 centers in the U.S.
More than $38 billion was spent for emergency room care in the United States in 2007, according to the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality. In addition, a New York University study showed that 70% of

NUS medical school researchers discover new approach to fighting chikungunya
Published on Oct 9, 2012 5:04 PM
A TEAM of researchers from the National University of Singapore (NUS) have discovered a new approach to fighting chikungunya, a viral disease which causes intense pain in the joints.
The researche2rs successfully identified a genetic sequence - called "small hairpin RNA" for the shape of the sequence - which stops the chikungunya virus from replicating before going on to destroy the virus.
This method, which brings the fight against the virus down to the genetic level, is one way in which gene silencing is carried out. Gene silencing stops the gene from "talking" and is an upcoming field in medical technology, explained principal investigator Justin Chu on Tuesday. He is an assistant professor with the NUS Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine.
Chikungunya, which is spread by the Aedes mosquito, currently has no vaccine and no cure. While it is only fatal in patients with weak immune systems, it can cause joint pain which can persist for months and even years. Over 1,000 cases were recorded in Singapore between 2008 and 2010. Nine cases were recorded from last year to this year, said Dr Chu.

I know i should post this in warriors forum but this is meant for the community(For those interested :) ) Please don't think i'm gloating with this post, but its just to help out those other w/me's whom believe that this build is impossible and hard to use, when really it's not... I have now logged 200 hours playing as only my w/me and having a blast with it. I used to be in a team in the top 50's till it got inactive so i joined a small team which is coming soon so watchout! :) Started off with 5 members(when i joined),we now have 10 so far with the plan on keeping it small with 17 active members, these players constantly do nothing but hoh and we had a blast, we grouped up with an allied guild and won hoh 4 times. I feel it's contributed to the team a lot... A warrior than can not only attack and hurt at close range but hurt from afar. I don't like feeling like rambo and being pinned down by rangers(o god my worst fear) and anything else that usually happens to warriors trying to attack, so i will describe my build below.
I know a lot of ya'll will critique me and all that but the only time i do go down as when im alone with the whole team on me... I've even had a case where i went 3v1, and a teammember dropped because i used glad defense, empathy, backfired the nec, killed the 2 wars and had 50 health left so he left thinking i was gonna lose. used heal sig, at this time he was casting something on me, so i was saved by the cast time, then finished him off. there are actually very great builds out there but for me w/me has contributed a lot to my team than just a regular dmg output attack attack warrior.
As a W/Me i can help out the casters by staying back interupting, backfiring and what i love to do if there is not an interupter on their team is run in backfire, and i'll tell you how i get 70 energy =) Ok since i have pve'd a lot and got a chaos axe with very good mods on it and a max shield with - damage on that, one day i was making a custom pvp char with the same skills i have on my pve char... I saw the canes and was like... why would a tank want a cane? I looked at all of them, and saw a cane and an offhand that gives u -1 regeneration on each one BUT you get 55 energy and faster casting using domination skills and the offhand is faster regeneration using dom skills... so i used that and then i made another char and found another cane and offhand that give u a total of a grand 70 energy with gladiator's armor...
So my trick ingame is to basically leeroy with no worry to damage and backfire then let the 1 or 2 wars charge me because i hate when people call me a "tank"...I don't know why i take offense but i figure myself more of a versatile "tank" than just a regular dumb ol strength based war that thinks... me see enemy, me kill enemy, me charge enemy... I'm tactics based and i love how others overlook tactics and w/me for the fact they want more damage output. I have few attack skills bu their strong anyway. When they see me with a cane and offhand... no shield nor axe they are like YES AN EASY KILL! A STUPID WAR WITH A CANE ROFLFLFLLF! I have the last laugh when everytime they try n hit me i block it along with 29 dmg a block then right before it wears off i empathy one in case they do hit me with + dmg so thats 60+ dmg in total if they do hit me and when i block it, i then kill the other war as he's getting hurt with glad, since he doesn't have empathy i hit him first. Either the war with empathy is stupid and thinks him and his buddy can kill me even if he has emp on him so he hacks his life away to almost nothing, finish the other guy. By this time empathy is back so even then before i kill that guy i would have switched to cane again to empathy more. I use my cane for fast cast or if i don't have the 55 energy fast cast/fast regen combo, i just switch in middle of combat for the extra energy with my 70 energy, then switch back to chaos axe and shield to fight them... They prolly get surprised when they see the sudden switch to the meelee weapon.
All it takes is brains! It's not that hard so for people that say wars don't have enough energy... yes they do if you know what to do. This has worked very well for me as i am able to keep the backfire on the enemy even if they take it off, my fast regen allows me to put it back on them so i can be a hassle... If i want i can be a pure mesmer in my war, because other mesmers have told me... what?! u have 70 energy?! bullcrap even my mesmer doesn't have THAT Much energy! All id have to do is crank up the dom and stuff along with my armor for protection and annoy the enemy. But i want to be versatile so i don't do that. My skills combo could be WAY better but atm im using this skill combo which is changing later...
1.) Heal Sig (saves u in instances where you're close to death, yes, u get a disadvantage using this cause you lose -40 armor, but it's about timing.I use it to keep my health at a constant high instead of waiting till last moment, but even then it saves u. It helps out the monks by being able to heal urself for 130 health or whatever + their heal)
2.) Gladiator's defense (10 seconds, 75% chance to block incoming attacks, with 29 dmg each block to enemy.)
3.) Swift Chop so if they block it, it gives dmg while causing deep wound.
4.) Penetrating Blow
5.)Execution Strike
6.) Rez Sig
Yes, it does not have that much dmg output(what u guys think) but even then i've had experience in hoh, comp arenas, anywhere u can have pvp and i've given enough damage to not worry about it... My pen blow, exe strike charge up very quickly since 2 wars or 1 like to focus on me at once, and i used to have to the limit for even more adrenaline but placed glad d in place of it. eventually i wanna capture eviscerate and replace a skill or 2 in place of it. i've heard u can replace exe strike with it, but i'd keep it because exe strike does a crap load of dmg anyway. Plus along with glad d and empathy on them, thats a lot of dmg + my regular swings and those attack skills, so that drains the opposer's health very quick, so they either don't back down(stupid but brave warrior) and takes the death or just runs off at the sign of empathy... I like to take out the wars 1v2 or 1v1 as quick as possible so my teammates have less of a hassle... if the wars rnot stupid and don't attack me even with my cane in hand and all(to lure them to me), then i just focus on the casters with constant backfire(mainly monks). A lot of times i tend to backfire monk, let it load quickly then kill the e's because used correctly they are very dangerous. Even if the monks keep healing the team focuses on a monk while i focus on dmg dealer then turn around and take the other monk while down. In case of 3 i just focus on monks a lot along with team concentration on one or 2 at a time in order to kill them asap. It's a good "caller" build and a very great asset to the team, imho.
Again i use this to be versatile... give enough dmg output, while being able to heal myself so the monks don't always have to worry about that dumb war getting himself in trouble and healing him and others at the same time... If my health drops 130 health or whatnot i use heal sig, so it keeps it almost max while the opposing wars health keep dropping. I've learned you can't always rely on monks to heal you... In hoh, if u have very good monks than u rarely use heal sig at all or even never... I just use it so the monk can focus on others. Only time i do need heal is when my heal sig is slowed down by a skill, then in that case which has been rare to happen to me, because a lot of casters focus on slowing the skills of other casters instead of just a wars heal sig... This plays a good mental challenge on opposing wars because even no matter how much dmg they give out, which in my opinion is not that much so i'm able to hit them for a lot of dmg even more than them at times before having to use my heal sig, so he's like DAMN he just keeps healing! And by the time he knows it he's almost dead... If he has a monk around him, then yea he'll get healed but then the monk has to focus a lot on him, leaving him open to attack from the teamies... Don't get me wrong, though i don't focus on just wars, because i'm anti-meelee, anti cast. I also like power leak because that interupts for a LOT of energy loss on the monk or whatever caster you use it on. So i replace a skill usually and have power leak in it's place at the same time... The skills i put that you see above changes a bit every so often. It's pretty versatile for self management healing, attack, protection, and anti-meelee(especially with power leak)
