April 19, 2006 As networks connect business and social communities by efficiently sharing information, so too do military networks and the drive towards a networked battlefield is now relentless. An example of the efficiencies available in the battlespace was recently successfully demonstrated when an F/A-18E/F Super Hornet provided targeting coordinates to other aircraft using the Raytheon APG-79 Active Electronically Scanned Array (AESA) radar system. During the test at the Naval Air Weapons Center at China Lake, Calif., an AESA-equipped F/A-18F created a long-range, high resolution synthetic aperture radar map and designated four closely-spaced stationary targets. The aircraft then data-linked two target designations to non-AESA equipped Super Hornets, which successfully delivered four 2,000-lb. Joint Direct Attack Munitions (JDAM). All four weapons impacted the targets within lethal distance. The targeting Super Hornet then used the AESA to provide highly detailed bomb damage assessments to confirm the hits.

American photographer Paul Schiek weaves a tale of glass, fabric, suffocation, flash bulbs and fragile human threads. The viewer's head (and heart) are held underwater by force as a feeling of organic claustrophobia and a slight tinge of a smothering madness rush through. His method with the camera becomes unimportant, the aesthetic and the content, the vice grip on your senses are all that matter. If one tries to break down the scenes, analyze the pieces, all that is left is a realization that to decipher reality is meaningless… all that truly matters is what is contained in Paul's frenzied head…

Toms takes share of early lead at Quail Hollow
CHARLOTTE, N.C. A cold morning and different wind direction made Quail Hollow feel longer than ever to David Toms. He managed just fine Thursday with a 6-under 66 and a share of the early lead with Jonathan Byrd at the Wells Fargo Championship.
Despite having to hit fairway metal into three par 4s, Toms made par on all of them and used the wind to his advantage with a birdie on the final hole to get his name atop the leaderboard among those who played early.
Byrd, who has missed the cut in five of his previous six appearances at Quail Hollow, also had seven birdies for a 66.
The morning typically offers the best conditions. This was an unusual day.
For starters, it was just over 40 degrees when the opening round began. The reason for the cold weather was a north wind, which is rare for this golf course. It made for a long layout, and Toms felt it early.
He hit a fairway metal from 218 yards on No. 3, and from 228 yards on No. 4, both dead into the wind. On the ninth, he had 230 yards to the green. But he got through it fine, and an eagle on the par-5 seventh with a shot into 5 feet left him feeling good about the day.
"It was cold this morning, and we were all out there with our jackets and sweaters on and playing these long par 4s," Toms said. "If I can shoot 3 under on the front nine, as long as it played, I'll take that any day."
Toms and Byrd each made a birdie on the toughest par 3s. For Toms it was a 15-foot putt on the 238-yard sixth hole. Byrd knocked in a 30-foot birdie putt on the 209-yard 17th with the peninsula green.
Lucas Glover and Pat Perez each had a 5-under 67, while Carl Pettersson and Stuart Appleby were another shot back. Sergio Garcia, who has three weeks to get into the top 50 and avoid U.S. Open qualifying for the first time in his career, opened with a 68. Garcia is No. 72 in the world.
Padraig Harrington, feeling stronger after a freak neck injury at the Masters, was among those at 69.
Not so fortunate was defending champion Rory McIlroy, making his first appearance in America since his Sunday collapse at the Masters that cost him his first major championship.
McIlroy opened with a bogey on the par-5 10th and didn't get much better as the day went on. He opened with a 75 and faces the prospect of missing the cut. Then again, he narrowly missed the cut last year and went on to win with a 62 in the final round.
"The story of the day for me is I really didn't hit it very well, which is unlike me," McIlroy said. "It'd be the strength of my game and today I just wasn't striking it well. My timing was off just a little bit."

text: Hi, Glad that FC6 is out today for download/playing. But FC5 and FC6 are released too closely -- only three months apart. while FC4 had released over one year before FC5 appeared. Consequently, a lot of people and small organizations, as far as I know, have installed bunches of "free" FC4 boxes instead of FC5. Thereafter, they will directly go to FC6 instead of FC4->FC5->FC6, taking into the consideration of that each upgrade from one release to another one is not a tedious work. Based on the above fact, one idea will flow out naturally: based on the limited resourses of fedora legacy groups, and facing losing users because limited legacy support is flatted to each FC legacy release. Is it possible to support only some subset of releases? We can take the following strategy: 1, for each odd-numbered release, take it as a alpha version release, and don't support it with limited fedora legacy resources. So FC5, FC7, FC9 will not go into fedora legacy. and they will be in official(redhat) support status in no more than half year, or even a quarter. 2, for each even-numbered release, take it as a post-beta version release. these version will stay in official support for more than one year like FC4, then after its ending of official support, the release will go to fedora legacy for another one and half years or even longer based on resources. 3, for the support even-numbered releases, both i386/x86_64 arches are supported. because nowadays all new machines are amd64 or Intel EM64T, while original i386 is still in use. This way we can bring FC releases back into the free RH years since RH6.0 to RH9, helpful for FC, RH and users. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

Tiger Woods apologised for having affairs and said on Friday he's unsure when he will return to competitive golf.
"I was unfaithful. I had affairs. I cheated. What I did was not acceptable," said Mr. Woods, looking composed and speaking in a steady voice. His wife, Elin, was not obviously present.
As for going back to the U.S. PGA Tour, Mr. Woods said: "I do plan to return to golf one day. I just don't know when that day will be. I don't rule out it will be this year."
Mr. Woods talked for more than 13 minutes from the clubhouse at the TPC Sawgrass, home of the U.S. PGA Tour. About 40 people were in the room, including his mother. He hugged her when he finished speaking.
"I am deeply sorry for my irresponsible and selfish behaviour," Mr. Woods said.
Admitting he felt he "deserved to enjoy the temptations" that came with his fabulous success, Mr. Woods said he was solely responsible for his actions.
Mr. Woods said he was in treatment for 45 days and will return for more therapy, adding he has more work to do to resolve his personal problems.
The world's No. 1 golfer had not talked in public since his traffic accident on November 27, 2009 triggered shocking revelations about Mr. Woods' serial infidelity.
Friday's event was tightly controlled, with only a few journalists allowed to watch Mr. Woods live.
Mr. Woods' televised confession became a major television event with networks breaking in to show it live.

Duplication Jobs running wild
After rebooting my NBU servers, I have over a thousand Duplication jobs trying to run.
A little info: We have 2 DD670's. Half backups go to one, half to the other, then each backup duplicates to the other DD670 after the backup completes.
All that shows up for the job is this:
On the Job Overview Tab:
Job Type: Duplication
Master Server: <server name>
Job Policy: SLP_LCP_DD02_Weekly
Job Schedule: Dup
Priority: 0
On the Detailed Status Tab:
Nothing at top - all fields blank
in Status:
2/2/2013 1:46:29 AM - requesting resource LCM_dd01-su
2/2/2013 1:36:35 AM - Info nbrb(pid=3248) Limit has been reached for the logical resource LCM_dd01-su
I have over 1500 sitting in queue like this? How do I keep these from launching? If I cancel them and clean them all up, 5-10 min later they all kick in again... It seems even though they run and complete, they just queuue up again and run again.
Comments 13 Comments • Jump to latest comment
2/2/2013 1:36:35 AM - Info nbrb(pid=3248) Limit has been reached for the logical resource LCM_dd01-su
1)do you see any other active jobs for LCM_dd01-su?
2) what are the max concurrent jobs for the stu LCM_dd01-su?
3) what is the max I/O streams for the disk pool assiciated with STU LCM_dd01-su?
4) what is the output of /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/nbstlutil report
"It seems even though they run and complete, they just queuue up again and run again." definatlly it should not be, unless they defined in SLP for one more copy.
Thanks Nagalla,
1) No, I dont even have a storage unit called LCU_dd01-su, they are only called dd02_su and dd02_su and valid duplication jobs do not request this su.
2) The valid dd_01 nad dd02_su are both set to 90 concurrent jobs.
3) Max I/O is also set to 90per volume.
4) what part of that report are you specifically looking for? Lots of options...
called dd02_su and dd02_su and valid duplication jobs do not request this su., ---> I assume those are dd01_su and dd 02_su, correct me if I am wrong.
please let us know the 2 SLP names that are in Issue.
please porovide the below output
nbstl -L -all_versions
/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/nbstlutil report ---> is the command just run it.'
bpstulist -label <storage unit name> ---> for both stoarage unit name
please provide these attachments as attachment.
Missed that part, here they are.
|103 bytes
|103 bytes
it looks like, Max I/O streams is the problme.
you did set the Max concurent jobs in Storage unit is 90 for each.
and also Max I/O streams for each disk pools is 90.
so at any point of time only 90 streams can be active for each disk Pool, but as you specified 90 in Storage units, from eaah SLP source is allocating 90 streams, destination is 0 results all are in Queue.
its like:-
for DD01_SU
MaX I/O stream in disk pool =90
Max jobs in disk stu = 90
for DD02_SU
MaX I/O stream in disk pool =90
Max jobs in disk stu = 90
so when duplication starts for DD01 LSP. all these are gettting allocated at source end, DD01 SLP taking 90 at source and noting left for the SLP DD02 jobs results queue jobs.
its same way for DD02 SLP.
its a dead lock situation.
3 ways to come out, and first cancle all Duplicate jobs, and impliment one of the below.
1) Reduce the Max jobs count in each STU.
2) Increase I/O at Disk pool (not recommented as its DD670, might not be albe to handle more )
3)Deactive one SLP untill other SLP gets compleated.
LCM_dd01-su is acatully mean of dd01-su Storage unit.
84 might becuase of the large number of I/O streams.
you will see the image ID , once its start replicating..
first think that you need to do is, recude the Max concenret jobs in STU., may be to 40 ro 50. for both stoarge untis.
cancle all duplication jobs in activity moniter, and let them start again.
and see how they are moving.
PS:- if you do not want them to duplicate , you can cancle them using nbstlutil command.

The King of Benchmarks Rules the Realm of Averages
A mid-sized insurer recently approached our team for help. They wanted to understand how they fell short in making their case to their executives. Specifically, they proposed that fixing their customer data was key to supporting the executive team's highly aggressive 3-year growth plan. (This plan was 3x today's revenue). Given this core organizational mission – aside from being a warm and fuzzy place to work supporting its local community – the slam dunk solution to help here is simple. Just reducing the data migration effort around the next acquisition or avoiding the ritual annual, one-off data clean-up project already pays for any tool set enhancing data acquisitions, integration and hygiene. Will it get you to 3x today's revenue? It probably won't. What will help are the following:
Hard cost avoidance via software maintenance or consulting elimination is the easy part of the exercise. That is why CFOs love it and focus so much on it. It is easy to grasp and immediate (aka next quarter).
Soft cost reduction, like staff redundancies are a bit harder. Despite them being viable, in my experience very few decision makers want work on a business case to lay off staff. My team had one so far. They look at these savings as freed up capacity, which can be re-deployed more productively. Productivity is also a bit harder to quantify as you typically have to understand how data travels and gets worked on between departments.
However, revenue effects are even harder and esoteric to many people as they include projections. They are often considered "soft" benefits, although they outweigh the other areas by 2-3 times in terms of impact. Ultimately, every organization runs their strategy based on projections (see the insurer in my first paragraph).
The hardest to quantify is risk. Not only is it based on projections – often from a third party (Moody's, TransUnion, etc.) – but few people understand it. More often, clients don't even accept you investigating this area if you don't have an advanced degree in insurance math. Nevertheless, risk can generate extra "soft" cost avoidance (beefing up reserve account balance creating opportunity cost) but also revenue (realizing a risk premium previously ignored). Often risk profiles change due to relationships, which can be links to new "horizontal" information (transactional attributes) or vertical (hierarchical) from parent-child relationships of an entity and the parent's or children's transactions.
Given the above, my initial advice to the insurer would be to look at the heartache of their last acquisition, use a benchmark for IT productivity from improved data management capabilities (typically 20-26% – Yankee Group) and there you go. This is just the IT side so consider increasing the upper range by 1.4x (Harvard Business School) as every attribute change (last mobile view date) requires additional meetings on a manager, director and VP level. These people's time gets increasingly more expensive. You could also use Aberdeen's benchmark of 13hrs per average master data attribute fix instead.
You can also look at productivity areas, which are typically overly measured. Let's assume a call center rep spends 20% of the average call time of 12 minutes (depending on the call type – account or bill inquiry, dispute, etc.) understanding
- Who the customer is
- What he bought online and in-store
- If he tried to resolve his issue on the website or store
- How he uses equipment
- What he cares about
- If he prefers call backs, SMS or email confirmations
- His response rate to offers
- His/her value to the company
If he spends these 20% of every call stringing together insights from five applications and twelve screens instead of one frame in seconds, which is the same information in every application he touches, you just freed up 20% worth of his hourly compensation.
Then look at the software, hardware, maintenance and ongoing management of the likely customer record sources (pick the worst and best quality one based on your current understanding), which will end up in a centrally governed instance. Per DAMA, every duplicate record will cost you between $0.45 (party) and $0.85 (product) per transaction (edit touch). At the very least each record will be touched once a year (likely 3-5 times), so multiply your duplicated record count by that and you have your savings from just de-duplication. You can also use Aberdeen's benchmark of 71 serious errors per 1,000 records, meaning the chance of transactional failure and required effort (% of one or more FTE's daily workday) to fix is high. If this does not work for you, run a data profile with one of the many tools out there.
If standardization of records (zip codes, billing codes, currency, etc.) is the problem, ask your business partner how many customer contacts (calls, mailing, emails, orders, invoices or account statements) fail outright and/or require validation because of these attributes. Once again, if you apply the productivity gains mentioned earlier, there are you savings. If you look at the number of orders that get delayed in form of payment or revenue recognition and the average order amount by a week or a month, you were just able to quantify how much profit (multiply by operating margin) you would be able to pull into the current financial year from the next one.
The same is true for speeding up the introduction or a new product or a change to it generating profits earlier. Note that looking at the time value of funds realized earlier is too small in most instances especially in the current interest environment.
If emails bounce back or snail mail gets returned (no such address, no such name at this address, no such domain, no such user at this domain), e(mail) verification tools can help reduce the bounces. If every mail piece (forget email due to the miniscule cost) costs $1.25 – and this will vary by type of mailing (catalog, promotion post card, statement letter), incorrect or incomplete records are wasted cost. If you can, use fully loaded print cost incl. 3rd party data prep and returns handling. You will never capture all cost inputs but take a conservative stab.
If it was an offer, reduced bounces should also improve your response rate (also true for email now). Prospect mail response rates are typically around 1.2% (Direct Marketing Association), whereas phone response rates are around 8.2%. If you know that your current response rate is half that (for argument sake) and you send out 100,000 emails of which 1.3% (Silverpop) have customer data issues, then fixing 81-93% of them (our experience) will drop the bounce rate to under 0.3% meaning more emails will arrive/be relevant. This in turn multiplied by a standard conversion rate (MarketingSherpa) of 3% (industry and channel specific) and average order (your data) multiplied by operating margin gets you a benefit value for revenue.
If product data and inventory carrying cost or supplier spend are your issue, find out how many supplier shipments you receive every month, the average cost of a part (or cost range), apply the Aberdeen master data failure rate (71 in 1,000) to use cases around lack of or incorrect supersession or alternate part data, to assess the value of a single shipment's overspend. You can also just use the ending inventory amount from the 10-k report and apply 3-10% improvement (Aberdeen) in a top-down approach. Alternatively, apply 3.2-4.9% to your annual supplier spend (KPMG).
You could also investigate the expediting or return cost of shipments in a period due to incorrectly aggregated customer forecasts, wrong or incomplete product information or wrong shipment instructions in a product or location profile. Apply Aberdeen's 5% improvement rate and there you go.
Consider that a North American utility told us that just fixing their 200 Tier1 suppliers' product information achieved an increase in discounts from $14 to $120 million. They also found that fixing one basic out of sixty attributes in one part category saves them over $200,000 annually.
So what ROI percentages would you find tolerable or justifiable for, say an EDW project, a CRM project, a new claims system, etc.? What would the annual savings or new revenue be that you were comfortable with? What was the craziest improvement you have seen coming to fruition, which nobody expected?
Next time, I will add some more "use cases" to the list and look at some philosophical implications of averages.
Driving Third Wave Businesses: Ensuring Your Business Has The Right To Win
As adjunct university faculty, I get to talk to students about how business strategy increasingly depends upon understanding how to leverage information. To make discussion more concrete, I share with students the work of Alvin Toffler. In The Third Wave, Toffler asserts that we live in a world where competition will increasingly take place upon the currency and usability of information.
In a recent interview, Toffler said that "given the acceleration of change; companies, individuals, and governments base many of their daily decisions on obsoledge—knowledge whose shelf life has expired." He continues by stating that "companies everywhere are trying to put a price on certain forms of intellectual property. But if…knowledge is at the core of the money economy, than we need to understand knowledge much better than we do now. And tiny insights can yield huge outputs".
Driving better information management in the information age
To me, this drives to three salient conclusions for information age businesses:
- Information needs to drive further down organizations because top decision makers do not have the background to respond at the pace of change.
- Information needs to be available faster which means that we need to reducing the processing time for structure and unstructured information sources.
- Information needs to be available when the organization is ready for it. For multinational enterprises this means "Always On" 24/7 across multiple time zones on any device.
Effective managers today are effective managers of people and information
Effective managers today are effective managers of information. Because processing may take too much time, Toffler's remarks suggest to me we need to consider human information—the ideas and communications we share every day—within the mix of getting access to the right information when it is needed and where it is needed. Now more than ever is the time for enterprises to ensure their decision makers have the timely information to make better business decisions when they are relevant. This means that unstructured data, a non-trivial majority of business information, needs to be made available to business users and related to existing structured sources of data.
Derick Abell says that "for (management) control to be effective, data must be timely and provided at interval that allows effective intervention". Today this is a problem for most information businesses. As I see it, information optimization is the basis of powering the enterprise through "Third Wave" business competition. Organizations that have the "right to win" will have as a core capability better-than-class access to current information for decision makers.
Putting in place a winning information management strategy
If you talk to CIOs today, they will tell you that they are currently facing 4 major information age challenges.
- Mobility—Enabling their users to view data anytime, anyplace, and any device
- Information Trust—Making data dependable enough for business decisions as well as governing data across all business systems.
- Competing on Analytics—Getting information to business users fast enough to avoid Toffler's Obsoledge.
- New and Big Data Sources—Connecting existing data to new value added sources of data.
Some information age
Lots of things, however, get in the way of delivering on the promises of the Information Age. Our current data architecture is siloed, fragile, and built upon layer after layer of spaghetti code integrations. Think about what is involved just to cobble together data on a company's supply chain. A morass of structured data systems have vendor and transaction records locked up in application databases and data warehouses all over the extended enterprise. So it is not amazing that enterprises struggle to put together current, relevant data to run their businesses upon. Functions like finance depend largely upon manual extracts being massaged and integrated in spreadsheets because of concern over the quality of data being provided by financial systems. Some information age!
How do we connect to new sources of data?
At the same time, many are trying today to extend the information architecture to add social media data, mobile location data, and even machine data. Much of this data is not put together in the same way as data in an application database or data warehouse. However, being able to relate this data to existing data sources can yield significant benefits. Think about the potential benefit of being able to relate social interactions and mobile location data to sales data or to relate machine data to compliance data.
A big problem is many of these new data types potentially have even more data quality gaps than historical structured data systems. Often the signal to noise for this data can be very low for this reason. But this data can be invaluable to business decision making. For this reason, this data needs to be cleaned up and related to older data sources. Finally, it needs to be provided to business users in whatever manner they want to consume it.
How then do we fix the Information Age?
Enabling the kind of Information Age that Toffler imagined requires two things. Enterprises fix their data management and enable the information intelligence needed to drive real business competitive advantage. Fixing data management involves delivering good data that business users can safely make decisions from. It, also, involves ensuring that data once created is protected. CFOs that we have talked to say Target was a watershed event for them—something that they expect will receive more and more auditing attention.
We need at the same time to build the connection between old data sources and new data sources. And this needs to not take as long as in the past to connect data. Delivery needs to happen faster so business problems can be recognized and solved more quickly. Users need to get access to data when and where they need it.
With data management fixed, data intelligence needs to provide business users the ability to make sense out of things they find in the data. Business users need as well to be able to search and find data. They, also, need self-service so they can combine existing and new unstructured data sources to test data interrelationship hypothesis. This means the ability to assemble data and put it together and do it from different sources at different times. Simply put this is about data orchestration without any preconceived process. And lastly, business users need the intelligence to automatically sense and respond to changes as new data is collecting.
Tiny insights can yield huge outputs
Obviously, there is a cost to solving our information age issues, but it is important to remember what Toffler says. "Tiny insights can yield huge outputs". In other words, the payoff is huge for shaking off the shackles of our early information age business architecture. And those that do this will increasingly have the "right to win" against their competitors as they use information to wring every last drop of value from their business processes.

The Five C's of Data Management
A few days ago, I came across a post, 5 C's of MDM (Case, Content, Connecting, Cleansing, and Controlling), by Peter Krensky, Sr. Research Associate, Aberdeen Group and this response by Alan Duncan with his 5 C's (Communicate, Co-operate, Collaborate, Cajole and Coerce). I like Alan's list much better. Even though I work for a product company specializing in information management technology, the secret to successful enterprise information management (EIM) is in tackling the business and organizational issues, not the technology challenges. Fundamentally, data management at the enterprise level is an agreement problem, not a technology problem.
So, here I go with my 5 C's: (more…)
Emerging Markets: Does Location Matter?
I recently wrapped up two overseas trips; one to Central America and another to South Africa. As such, I had the opportunity to meet with a national bank and a regional retailer. It prompted me to ask the question: Does location matter in emerging markets?
I wish I could tell you that there was a common theme on how firms in the same sector or country (even city) treat data on a philosophical or operational level but I cannot. It is such a unique experience every time as factors like ownership history, regulatory scrutiny, available/affordable skill set and past as well as current financial success create a unique grey pattern rather than a comfortable black and white separation. This is even more obvious when I mix in recent meetings I had with North American organizations in the same sectors.
Banking in Latin vs North America
While a national bank in Latin America may seem lethargic, unimaginative and unpolished at first, you can feel the excitement when they can conceive, touch and play with the potential of new paradigms, like becoming data-driven. Decades of public ownership did not seem to have stifled their willingness to learn and improve. On the other side, there is a stock market-listed, regional US bank and half the organization appears to believe in meddling along without expert IT knowledge, which reduced adoption and financial success in past projects. Back office leadership also firmly believes in "relationship management" over data-driven "value management".
To quote a leader in their finance department, "we don't believe that knowing a few more characteristics about a client creates more profit….the account rep already knows everything about them and what they have and need". Then he said, "Not sure why the other departments told you there are issues. We have all this information but it may not be rolled out to them yet or they have no license to view it to date." This reminded me of the "All Quiet on the Western Front" mentality. If it is all good over here, why are most people saying it is not? Granted; one more attribute may not tip the scale to higher profits but a few more and their historical interrelationship typically does.
As an example; think about the correlation of average account balance fluctuations, property sale, bill pay account payee set ups, credit card late charges and call center interactions over the course of a year.
The Latin American bankers just said, "We have no idea what we know and don't know…but we know that even long standing relationships with corporate clients are lacking upsell execution". In this case, upsell potential centered on wire transfer SWIFT message transformation to their local standard they report of and back. Understanding the SWIFT message parameters in full creates an opportunity to approach originating entities and cutting out the middleman bank.
Retailing in Africa vs Europe
The African retailer's IT architects indicated that customer information is centralized and complete and that integration is not an issue as they have done it forever. Also, consumer householding information is not a viable concept due to different regional interpretations, vendor information is brand specific and therefore not centrally managed and event based actions are easily handled in BizTalk. Home delivery and pickup is in its infancy.
The only apparent improvement area is product information enrichment for an omnichannel strategy. This would involve enhancing attribution for merchandise demand planning, inventory and logistics management and marketing. Attributes could include not only full and standardized capture of style, packaging, shipping instructions, logical groupings, WIP vs finished goods identifiers, units of measure, images and lead times but also regional cultural and climate implications.
However, data-driven retailers are increasingly becoming service and logistics companies to improve wallet share, even in emerging markets. Look at the successful Russian eTailer Ozon, which is handling 3rd party merchandise for shipping and cash management via a combination of agency-style mom & pop shops and online capabilities. Having good products at the lowest price alone is not cutting it anymore and it has not for a while. Only luxury chains may be able to avoid this realization for now. Store size and location come at a premium these days. Hypermarkets are ill-equipped to deal with high-profit specialty items. Commercial real estate vacancies on British high streets are at a high (Economist, July 13, 2014) and footfall is at a seven-year low. The Centre for Retail Research predicts that 20% of store locations will close over the next five years.
If specialized, high-end products are the most profitable, I can (test) sell most of them online or at least through fewer, smaller stores saving on carrying cost. If my customers can then pick them up and return them however they want (store, home) and I can reduce returns from normally 30% (per the Economist) to fewer than 10% by educating and servicing them as unbureaucratically as possible, I just won the semifinals. If I can then personalize recommendations based on my customers' preferences, life style events, relationships, real-time location and reward them in a meaningful way, I just won the cup.
Emerging markets may seem a few years behind but companies like Amazon or Ozon have shown that first movers enjoy tremendous long-term advantages.
So what does this mean for IT? Putting your apps into the cloud (maybe even outside your country) may seem like an easy fix. However, it may not only create performance and legal issues but also unexpected cost to support decent SLA terms. Does your data support transactions for higher profits today to absorb this additional cost of going into the cloud? Focus on transactional applications and their management obfuscates the need for a strong backbone for data management, just like the one you built for your messaging and workflows ten years ago. Then you can tether all the fancy apps to it you want.
Have any emerging markets' war stories or trends to share? I would love to hear them. Stay tuned for future editions of this series.

Fire your Data Scientists – They Don't Add Value
Years ago, I was on a project to improve production and product quality through data analysis. During the project, I heard one man say:
"If I had my way, I'd fire the statisticians – all of them – they don't add value".
Surely not? Why would you fire the very people who were employed to make sense of the vast volumes of manufacturing data and guide future production? But he was right. The problem was at that time data management was so poor that data was simply not available for the statisticians to analyze.
So, perhaps this title should be re-written to be:
Fire your Data Scientists – They Aren't Able to Add Value.
Although this statement is a bit extreme, the same situation may still exist. Data scientists frequently share frustrations such as:
- "I'm told our data is 60% accurate, which means I can't trust any of it."
- "We achieved our goal of an answer within a week by working 24 hours a day."
- "Each quarter we manually prepare 300 slides to anticipate all questions the CFO may ask."
- "Fred manually audits 10% of the invoices. When he is on holiday, we just don't do the audit."
This is why I think the original quote is so insightful. Value from data is not automatically delivered by hiring a statistician, analyst or data scientist. Even with the latest data mining technology, one person cannot positively influence a business without the proper data to support them.
Most organizations are unfamiliar with the structure required to deliver value from their data. New storage technologies will be introduced and a variety of analytics tools will be tried and tested. This change is crucial for to success. In order for statisticians to add value to a company, they must have access to high quality data that is easily sourced and integrated. That data must be available through the latest analytics technology. This new ecosystem should provide insights that can play a role in future production. Staff will need to be trained, as this new data will be incorporated into daily decision making.
With a rich 20-year history, Informatica understands data ecosystems. Employees become wasted investments when they do not have access to the trusted data they need in order to deliver their true value.
Who wants to spend their time recreating data sets to find a nugget of value only to discover it can't be implemented?
Build a analytical ecosystem with a balanced focus on all aspects of data management. This will mean that value delivery is limited only by the imagination of your employees. Rather than questioning the value of an analytics team, you will attract some of the best and the brightest. Then, you will finally be able to deliver on the promised value of your data.
How Can A Single View of Your Customer Helps You Better Manage your Customer Service? (Part One)
One thing we all have in common in this modern world, is that we have all, at some point in our lives, been on the receiving end of poor customer service.
Don't get me wrong, a career in customer service is not an easy one, and I'm sure there are many service providers out there who have been wrongly on the receiving end of an angry customer, for reasons out of the businesses hands, that's another topic in itself. It is hard, however, to ignore that one thing companies often fail on heavily is providing a timely, easy to access and appropriate level of service for their customers. (more…)
Me, Myself and Midata
Some interesting news hit UK headlines last year that companies could be made to give the public greater access to their personal transaction data in an electronic, portable and machine-readable format. That's if the midata project has anything to do with it.
Launched in April 2011 midata is part of the UK Government's consumer empowerment strategy, Better Choices: Better Deals. Essentially, it's a partnership between government, consumer groups and major businesses. Its aim is to give consumers access to the data that they produce, from the likes of household utilities, and banking, to internet transactions and high street loyalty cards. (more…)
Data Scientist Named 'Sexiest Job of the 21st Century': Who is This Person?

Jewelry Repair Training Programs and Degree Information
Jewelry repair training programs not only benefit aspiring bench jeweler technicians, but also jewelry designers and appraisers. Typically, jewelry repair training programs and degrees are offered through vocational and community colleges at the undergraduate certificate and degree levels.
Training Requirements and Recommendations
Many times, jewelry repair technicians learn skills while on the job. However, formal jewelry repair training is also offered through a short series of trade school classes resulting in a certificate of completion. Individuals seeking jewelry repair training through a degree program can look to an undergraduate degree in jewelry design, which generally incorporates jewelry repair training. Jewelry repair technicians should be detailed and patient and have good hand-to-eye coordination.
Formal Education
Jewelry repair training programs are very experiential, allowing students to participate in field trips and gain practical jewelry techniques through hands-on labs. Certificate programs can range from six months to one year; there are also related 2- and 4-year degree programs available.
Jewelry Repair Certificate
A certificate program is usually geared toward aspiring bench jeweler technicians. Students learn an overview of the jewelry business, including appraising, gemology, metalsmithing and stone setting. They also learn to work with jewelry repair tools, such as wax molds, clasps, soldering accessories, drivers, drills, blades, pliers, magnifying lenses and measuring devices.
Associate's Degree
An associate degree program in jewelry design typically includes coursework in jewelry repair. Students learn to work with fine and costume jewelry, as well as materials sourcing and identification, metal forming, casting and soldering.
Bachelor's Degree
Often conferred as a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree, these jewelry design and repair programs emphasize the creation of jewelry as a work of art. Students usually learn to work with beaded, bronze, silver, gold, platinum, brass and aluminum jewelry. Computer-aided design (CAD) training is also incorporated.
Job Experience
More than formal training, experience in jewelry repair is vital. Individuals who have completed a formal training program may have participated in a work experience. Additionally, informal apprenticeships may be available through independent jewelry repair technicians or jewelry manufacturers. Jewelry repair technicians can work as employees or independent contractors at retail jewelry shops, repair kiosks or creative plants.
Licenses and Certifications
There are no license or certification requirements for jewelry repair technicians, but voluntary certifications are available through the Jewelers of America. Credentials include the Certified Master Bench Jeweler, Certified Senior Bench Jeweler, Certified Bench Jeweler and Certified Bench Jeweler Technician. Applicants must pass a practical and written exam in order to qualify.
Workshops and Seminars
Metal guilds, art centers and schools may offer jewelry repair workshops, which often last for a couple of days. Instruction is geared toward beginning or experienced technicians and topics can range from tool modification to soldering techniques.

Let me paint you a picture of what autumn is like here in the Adirondack mountains of upstate New York. Believe it or not, the leaves have already started to change color from deep summer green to more brilliant yellows, golds, and reds. We
Beautiful, isn't it? And it's a great inspiration for me when it comes to my autumn jewelry-making projects using gemstones! I decided to do a little window shopping over at Lima Beads, and found four fabulous gemstones in colors that are inspired by the magnificent fall palette I see out my windows.
Greens: Green Zebra Jasper. I've always been partial to green gemstone beads, but this green zebra jasper takes my breath away. These shades of green are exactly the colors of the evergreen trees that stand out in the middle of all those bright golds and reds!
Don't be afraid to pair your greens with other bold colors like orange, red, and yellow for awesome autumn gemstone jewelry projects. Mix them with a neutral cream or even deep brown to play down the contrast.
Orange: Red Botswana Agate. Botswana agate is usually a combination of soothing shades of brown, cream, white, and even pink. This bright, bold orange and white version of a favorite gemstone will set your autumn jewelry-making projects on fire. Cool it off with some beautiful mahogany browns and greens, or play it up with whites and creams!
Yellow: Crazy Lace Agate. Of all the agate gemstones, I think crazy lace agate is one of my favorites to use in strung jewelry projects. The elaborate coloring of the bands in this gemstone make it a cinch to pair with just about anything else. Think outside the strand and try pairing it with amethyst or even rose quartz in your autumn jewelry-making ideas.
White: Rosy White Ocean Jasper. Remember how I talked about the pearly white clouds that we see all autumn up here in the mountains? Rosy white ocean jasper is the perfect complement to just about any of the autumn gemstones I listed here. Pairing a brightly colored gemstone with this gemstone will make a bold piece of beaded jewelry.
Another option for capturing the color of those autumn skies on rainy days would be to use a handful of creamy freshwater pearls. Their inherent glow will soften even the most dramatic of gemstone beads.
If you're always on the lookout for fresh new gemstones to use in your jewelry-making projects, you won't want to miss the Smokin' Stones department of Lapidary Journal Jewelry Artist magazine. Each issue talks about new trends in gemstones and new gemstones being used for jewelry, where to find them, and great ideas for how to use them.

For the third time in 6 months, Los Angeles has denied a developer's plan to build a motel next to a residential neighborhood in Eagle Rock.
The developer, Yu-Yuen Chao, wants to build a 2-story, 30-unit motel at 1871 Colorado Blvd. At a hearing in City Hall last week, Robert Janovici, the associate zoning administrator, denied the request.
He said the motel would be incompatible with plans to turn the street into a pedestrian-oriented shopping area. A land-use plan for the area is being developed by a citizen's committee and Los Angeles city planners.
Chao had twice scaled down his plans. An original proposal for a 53-room, 3-story structure was denied because it exceeded the height limit for the site.

The state legislature on Wednesday suspended five MLAs from the house till December 31, 2013, for assaulting a police sub-inspector (PSI) in the Vidhan Bhavan a day earlier.
Kshitij Thakur (Bahujan Vikas Aghadi — BVA), Ram Kadam (MNS), Rajan Salvi (Shiv Sena), Jaykumar Rawal (BJP) and Pradeep Jaiswal (Independent — who is now with the Shiv Sena) will not be allowed to enter the legislature premises in Mumbai and Nagpur till the end of the year.
After deputy chief minister Ajit Pawar finished presenting the state budget, parliamentary affairs minister Harshavardhan Patil moved the motion to suspend the MLAs. It was approved by the assembly through a voice vote.
PSI Sachin Suryavanshi invited the wrath of Thakur, MLA from Nalasapora, for pulling him up for speeding on the Bandra-Worli Sea Link (BWSL) on Monday. The next day, around 12.30pm, minutes after Thakur moved a privilege motion against Suryavanshi, the PSI was allegedly assaulted by the MLA and other like-minded colleagues outside room number 114 even though he pleaded: "Malaa maaru naka (please do not beat me)."
Thakur is the son of Vasai strongman and former MLA Hitendra Thakur while Suryavanshi is attached to the Worli traffic police chowky.
Kadam, however, alleged that around 50 MLAs confronted Suryavanshi after he made indecent gestures at Thakur from the visitors' gallery at Vidhan Bhavan. He said the PSI pushed him first and that the altercation began after that.
A case was registered against 15 people and the investigation was transferred to the crime branch of the Mumbai police on Tuesday.
Sources close to Suryavanshi told DNA that he failed to record the argument between Thakur and him near the BWSL on his mobile phone. "A person sitting in Thakur's car started recording the argument midway on his mobile phone. Suryavanshi also took out his mobile and tried to record it as evidence. However, when he checked his phone later, he found out that it had not been recorded due to some technical glitch," said the PSI's colleague in the Worli traffic division. The officer said the video recorded by Thakur's man does not reveal the entire conversation. "It does not reflect what he told Suryavanshi as it was not recorded from the beginning," he said.
The incident in the Vidhan Sabha sparked outrage across the political spectrum with chief minister Prithviraj Chavan calling the attack 'reprehensible'. Speaker Dilip Walse-Patil even apologised to the state, police and the legislature. Walse-Patil said such an incident had not taken place in the state till now and that it would adversely impact the prestige of the legislature.
The assault prompted IPS officers, including director general of police Sanjeev Dayal and police commissioner Satyapal Singh, to meet Chavan. They apprised him of the fears and the unease within the police force following the shameful attack.
CCTVs may nail them
Crime branch of the Mumbai police has made substantial progress in the probe. "Some CCTV footage show the MLAs assaulted PSI Sachin Suryavanshi. They are likely to be arrested soon," a police officer said
Himanshu Roy, joint police commissioner (crime), however, said it is inappropriate to talk about arrests at this stage. "We have collected two CCTV clips and examined them. The footage of some more CCTVs are awaited," he said
Opposition leader Eknath Khadse alleged that only opposition MLAs were suspended.
Shiv Sena leader Subhash Desai said his party won't keep quiet if only Sena-BJP leaders are punished

Todd & Manger Post New Purdue Records on Day 2 at Big Tens
February 23, 2014HOOSIER SPORTS 365
MINNEAPOLIS-- A new school record in the 100 butterfly, a new freshman benchmark in the 100 backstroke and another impressive showing by the divers in a springboard event highlighted day two for Purdue women's swimming and diving at the Big Ten Championships Friday.
Alex Todd and Kylie Vogel each broke the program record in the 100 fly. Todd finished the night as the new record holder (53.39) after eclipsing Vogel's prelim time in the evening finals. Hannah Mangerposted the second-fastest time (54.73) in program history in the prelims of the 100 back, a time that doubled as a Purdue freshman record. She also swam the opening backstroke leg on the 400 medley relay.
It was the Purdue divers that were the top scorers on the team for the second night in a row. Casey Matthews (second), Mary Beth Dunnichay (third) and Michelle Cabassol (sixth) all qualified for the championship final of 3-meter diving. Add in MacKenzie Tweardy'spoints from advancing to the consolation final, and the divers racked up 48 points Friday.
The Boilermakers remained in sixth place in the team scoring with 253 points. Entering the final day of the Big Ten Championships, Purdue is within striking distance of fourth-place Michigan (272 points) and fifth-place Ohio State (261) while holding a 23-point lead on seventh-place Wisconsin. Minnesota (526) has essentially locked up its third straight Big Ten title, sporting a 129-point lead on second-place Indiana going into Saturday. Michigan would need a significant rally to catch third-place Penn State (314).
Matthews finished second to Minnesota's Maggie Keefer after the Purdue senior rallied past Keefer to win the 1-meter Big Ten Title Thursday. Dunnichay finished third in the championship final for the second day in a row. Dunnichay matched Keefer for the highest score (74.20) on a single dive in the finals.
All four Purdue divers have scored in each of the first two diving events of the Championships. Tweardy is the only Boiler expected to compete from the platform towers Saturday.
Purdue also had four competitors score in the 200 freestyle Friday. Led by Rhiannon Sheets qualifying for the A final, the Boilers tallied 19 points in the event. Allie Davis, Carly Mercer and Lizzy Lyonall scored by qualifying for the B final of the 200 free.
Todd and Vogel each eclipsed Sheets' 100 fly record from November 2011. Vogel finished the prelims in 53.49 but Todd was even faster in the finals, touching in 53.39. Purdue has now set three new program records at the Big Ten Championships this week.
Nika Karlina Petric (8th in A final of 400 IM) and Francesca Marr (5th in B final of 100 breast) also scored for the Boilermakers and moved up the all-time Top 10 lists in their events. Meagan Lim (100 fly), Madison Montiero (400 IM), Trish Regan (100 back), Davis, Dunnichay, Lyon and Vogel also moved up on the program's all-time lists Friday. The 400 medley relay team of Manger, Marr, Vogel and Grace Hernandezposted the third-fastest time (3:39.62) in program history.
Marr was announced as Purdue's Big Ten sportsmanship honoree for the 2013-14 season on Friday.
The Big Ten Championships conclude Saturday with preliminaries at noon ET and finals at 7:30 p.m. ET.

I would like our community to know, if you already didn't know, what a great group of teens we have in our little city.
On Wednesday, Oct. 28, several youth groups from our local and rural churches banded together to collect food for our local Food Pantry. This was called 'SuperHero' and was their way of celebrating trick-or-treat. A great amount of food was collected and the Food Pantry wants them to know how much it was appreciated.
Today I scrubbed my kitchen floor, on my knees with a bucket of sudsy water and a brush, "Cinderella-style."
After that, I polished all the stainless steel and rubbed the countertops with stuff that made them gleam. Then I vacuumed all the wayward popcorn from underneath the couch cushions and cleaned both bathrooms.
When I finally sat down with my can of diet ginger ale, it hit me how good it felt to work with my whole body.
The scrubbing motion stretched my tight back and polishing the stainless steel until I could see my reflection made me smile.

Don't be fooled by my size. I may be petite but my personality is enormous =)
I enjoy stimulating conversations, but not heated debates. I love reading but I don't necessarily have a favorite genre. I am not a nightlife girl who likes to party - I would much rather prefer watching movies or places that conversations can be had. My friends have been known to describe me as witty with a sense of humor, shy but outgoing (I believe that is an oxymoron!), quick to smile and laugh but also a slightly quick temper when warranted. I have a stable career and love what I do. I am interested in someone who loves to converse but have an active lifestyle as well. My ideal date night would be low key where we talk and get to know each other. My main modes of excersize is through yoga and hiking but I would like to try anything that is fun and active. I am Christian and would like someone who is at least tolerant of my religion as I do not have a preference of religion for my prospective partner. I am looking for someone who is mature, has ambition and drive, loves to be active but doesn't mind quiet nights watching movies or talking, and a sense of humor is a must! I am not looking for a "hookup" but don't think I'm chasing an engagement ring either! I am not interested in anyone who is still in party mode or who is not serious about making a connection. If you would like to know more about me, please email me and I would gladly answer them

I love watching movies, but I'm squeamish with horror movies. I like to read but I'm not picky on the genre. I enjoy certain TV shows like Game of Thrones, CSI, Criminal Minds, and NCIS. I love watching football and that's why I get Sunday's off!
My most recent reads were Fall of Giants by Ken Follett, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo series by Stieg Larssen, and I'm finishing up Outliers by Malcolm Gladwell. I would like to tackle the Game of Thrones books next

Bottom Line:
The shock only has rebound adjustment causing you to eat through your travel very quickly - even with properly set PSI.
It doesn't feel very responsive. Sometimes mushy even after tuning the rebound.
I will say in its minimalist nature, it's very reliable. I'm running a 2011 and have only done a seal overhaul once.
I would not recommend this shock after learning what works for me. I will be looking to upgrade the shock with something that has compression adjustment.

Export of caviar from the Caspian Sea population of Russian sturgeon (Acipenser gueldenstaedtii), an endangered species, will rise to 30,249 kg in 2008, up from 27,630 kg in 2007. CITES on Thursday allocated the additional export rights to Turkmenistan, which is not a Party to CITES but is entitled to a certain amount of the caviar harvested in the Caspian Sea. Export of this caviar must occur through a CITES Party, and in this case, will occur through Kazakhstan (200 kg) and Russia (2,619 kg). The 2008 quotas announced in February had Russian sturgeon exports decreasing slightly this year, to 27,430 kg.
Export quotas for Caspian Sea sevruga sturgeon (Acipenser stellatus) will now remain the same as in 2007, at 20,377 kg. February quotas had set the permitted export slightly lower, at 18,200 kg, but the additional rights have now been allocated to Turkmenistan (2,137 kg to be exported by Kazakhstan, and 40 kg by Russia). Quotas for Persian sturgeon caviar dropped to 37,000 kg from 38,000 kg and represent the only case in which a quota was voluntarily lowered.
The news of Russia's willingness to export additional sturgeon for Turkmenistan, on top of having its own export quota, is especially troubling in the face of Russia's March proposal that Caspian Sea states impose a five-year ban on sturgeon fishing so that the populations can rebound. The new CITES quotas also permit export of yet another Russian caviar: that derived from sturgeon in the 2,700-mile-long Amur River, which forms much of the border between the Russia Far East and China., For 2008, 4,562 kg of caviar can be exported from the Amur River range States in Russia and China. While this is decrease from 2007, when 7,469 kg of caviar were authorized for export from the Amur River, it does not go far enough. No exports whatsoever were permitted between 2004 and 2006 due to the poor conservation status of Amur River sturgeons, particularly Kaluga (Huso dauricus) and Amur (Acipens

Stephen Nessen reports for the WNYC Newsroom and can often be heard live on Morning Edition.
When Superman is crippled by Kryptonite, sometimes he just needs the help of an 11-year old and his speech teacher.
Brooklyn eighth grader, Hakeem Bennett, and his special education teacher, Matthew Brown, are featured in a new Superman comic book titled, 'The Kid Who Saved Superman.' In the comic, students are trapped in a mountain after an earthquake. Superman comes to the rescue but needs help after being weakened by kryptonite.
Bennett landed his star role after winning a national essay contest, in which he wrote about a real-life hero, his teacher. Bennett's teacher is blind in one eye, has tunnel vision in the other, and relies on a seeing eye-dog named Stanley.
Lori Heffez is the principal of P.S. 36 and says Bennett's award-winning essay on his real-life hero stemmed from a popular exercise in Brown's class.
Bennett is an avid Superman fan and says he can't wait to show the comic to his cousin.
