TV Industry Disruption: Aereo's Threat and Promise
Today we have a gazillion TV channels, but still only watch the same few we always did -- and it's getting worse. Cable TV companies keep adding more channels every year, and they keep charging more as well. Price has roughly doubled in the last 10 years. So, is Aereo a threat or a catalyst to traditional cable television? Well the answer is both -- depending on which companies you work for or invest in.
Jan 24, 2013 5:00 AM PT
So, what is Aereo all about? Well, it's a brand new idea, a Web TV service. The days of the US$200 TV bill are numbered, said the CEO of Aereo in an interview with Ad Age.
This sounds like a good idea, right? Well, the cable television model is old and broken, and the need for lower-cost alternatives is growing. The timing may be right for companies like Aereo to transform cable television the way Apple and Google changed wireless. Can they succeed?
We have always loved to complain about how our cable television companies don't care. How they charge more every year, yet don't provide more programming we want to watch. How there are so many channels to flip through, yet there is never anything good on. How customer care and service leave so much to be desired. To make matters worse, there are just no low-cost alternatives.
Scary Times
Until relatively recently, cable television providers like Comcast, Time Warner and Cox really had no competition, so they grew. Satellite companies like Dish Network and DirecTV entered the field and chipped away a little bit of their business. Then local phone companies entered with services like AT&T's U-verse and Verizon's FiOS. Now it appears Apple and Google are getting ready to transform television the way they did wireless.
In fact, watching television is moving beyond the TV set to our computers, tablets and smartphones.
We are now entering the scariest time ever for cable TV company executives. They lie in bed at night, stare at the ceiling, and wonder how they can continue to keep their business stable and encourage growth. Many won't. Some will fail. However, innovation will burst through like a flower in the springtime.
Out with the old and in with the new. That's the new charge that Aereo wants to lead.
So, what is Aereo? It is a Web TV service that announced a multi-city expansion at CES a couple of weeks ago. Barry Diller is one key name backing this new service. Aereo was in the sites of the cable television industry several months back, but it won that battle in the courts. Now this innovative service is going to try to take on the massive cable television world. Will it succeed?
Sounds a little like MCI, the long distance company that shook things up in the 1980s. Aereo wants to do the same today in cable television. Working with MCI as a consultant really opened my eyes as to what indeed is possible in transforming industries and competitors. The executives of that company were among the best and most exciting around.
Aereo has the right idea, and the timing is right, but does it have a strong team and leadership? Does it have creative ideas for marketing and positioning itself in the marketplace against the heavy hitters? That will make all the difference.
Go With the Flow
Aereo uses a variety of technologies to get all the channels you want to watch. It uses antennas to capture local TV signals and store the broadcast content in the cloud. It makes other channels available over the Web. It provides live TV on smartphones, computers and tablets, in addition to your television, through a set-top box.
Its secret ingredient may be its plan to offer lower-cost choices to customers as it rolls into market after market. This is an important piece of the puzzle for Aereo. If it can do this, it will put enormous pressure on the main providers like Comcast to lower its prices as well. Actually, that sounds like what Comcast did in offering phone service using VoIP. That is in fact what MCI did to AT&T 30 years ago.
Broadcasters should embrace tech, not fight it, said Aereo CEO Chet Kanojia.
Aereo wants to expand television, not kill it, he emphasized. Of course, maybe those are the same words Steve Jobs used when talking to the music industry back in the 1990s.
Very few young customers are signing up and paying for expensive television from traditional providers like the cable television industry, Kanojia pointed out. The market is changing. When the VCR came out, there was the same kind of concern about it killing television. Yet it created an entirely new era of innovation and success in the industry. There were winners and losers, but the industry changed.
We may indeed be about to step into a new universe of ideas and products in the television industry -- at entirely new pricing models. This change will sweep the industry and affect us all. Many new companies will pressure existing market leaders. Those that can change can continue to lead. Those that can't will wither and die the way the long-distance industry did a decade ago.
Remember, as Earth-shaking as MCI was, it is no longer around. So what does the near and long term future hold for the cable television industry and Aereo? Stay tuned.

NSA Director General Keith Alexander (shown), testifying along with officials from the Justice Department in a rare public oversight hearing by the House Intelligence Committee, claimed that more than 50 terror plots had been discovered and prevented thanks to the highly classified data collections.
But a jury conviction cited in a deputy attorney general's claim about a terrorist plot never occurred, and at least two other cases he cited appear not to support the claim that they were solved through the National Security Agency's massive collection of telephone records and Internet communications
Alexander told the House Intelligence Committee, "In the 12 years since the attacks on Sept. 11, we have lived in relative safety and security as a nation. That security is a direct result of the intelligence community's quiet efforts to better connect the dots and learn from the mistakes that permitted those attacks to occur on 9/11."
Deputy Attorney General Sean Joyce cited four recently declassified cases as examples of how the system worked to apprehend terrorists. In one case, Joyce said, the NSA discovered a terrorist in Yemen was talking to a man in Kansas City, Missouri, named Khalid Ouazzani. With a warrant from the secret Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, agents were then able to search Ouazzani's electronic communications. They discovered that he and two other conspirators were "in the very initial stages" of a plot to blow up the New York Stock Exchange, Joyce said.
Rep. Mac Thornberry (R-Texas) wanted to know if it was a serious plot Joyce was describing or merely "something that they kind of dreamed about."

It's that time of year again, when tax questions start pouring in. Among the most frequently asked: What's the best way to deal with an IRS audit and reduce any penalties? Here are some strategies to help you get past those fears — and face the tax beast.
The Dreaded IRS Audit
Let's say you're facing an audit on your business taxes — two Schedule Cs. You made a couple of mistakes on your tax return that are obvious, now that you're looking at it again. Should you just skip the audit and file an amended return?
Never, ever ignore an audit invitation. Call the phone number on the notice and discuss the arrangements — or hire a tax professional to do it for you. The best person to represent you is the one who prepared the tax return. He knows what information was used to produce the numbers.
If you prepared it yourself and are afraid of audits, look for an enrolled agent. (www.naea.org.) These pros' licenses are specifically for representing taxpayers before the Internal Revenue Service. Ask prospective CPAs whether they're experienced with IRS audits. (www.cpadirectory.com) You probably won't need an attorney unless it's a criminal audit — or about to become one. (www.americanbar.org)
Regardless of who goes to the audit, you will have to gather records and documents for the IRS or your tax professional. Bear in mind that the IRS isn't just looking for proof that you spent the money shown on the expense lines of your tax return. They are looking for two more major things:
* That the expenses you reported really were business-related
* That you have actually reported all your income
The IRS examiner routinely adds up all the deposits to all the taxpayer's bank accounts. Naturally, this total will prove that small business taxpayers have far more deposits in their bank accounts than their tax return shows as income. This is a trap: Beware. After all, when you use several bank accounts, you routinely transfer funds between them, have to redeposit bounced checks, or deposit cash advances and other loans.
To avoid being ambushed, read Chapter 13 of Small Business Taxes Made Easy. It walks you through the details of how to assemble a spread sheet to show the IRS which deposits were not income. The most important thing you will do in your audit is to identify all the non-income deposits in all the bank accounts.
As Congress weighed higher taxes, CEOs cashed out
As Congress mulled higher tax rates last month, a WSJ review of securities filings found that 58 executives sold stock valued at $10 million or more in December alone, potentially saving them millions in taxes. Scott Thurm reports. Photo: Getty.
This is especially important for a business showing losses. What did you live on during the year? Show proof of credit-card balance increases, cash advances, loans, or funds drawn from your own savings, investments or home-equity line.
Warning: If you have a full-time job and the business is just a sideline, the IRS will try to prove it's a hobby. A business showing losses year after year will have a hard time proving it's anything more than a hobby or a tax shelter designed simply to generate deductions. That's where good tax planning comes in.
When making a major error – say, entering $8,000 on one line instead of $800 — be up front about it. It saves time and establishes your integrity.
Most businesses depreciate assets, some over several years. Find the original receipts for those items — even if they're form well over three years prior. The IRS has a right to demand the purchase documents for any asset still on your depreciation schedule.

I tried to get a waiver for having ear tubes as a kid but one of them left a very small hole in my ear. I got a temporary dq until the hole is healed. My next option is to get a typanoplasty to correct the hole. Can I still join once I heal from the surgery and how long would I have to wait to join?

Re: Ear surgery before joining
I am not a recruiter or doctor but I found this:
Middle and inner ear.
Current or history of chronic otitis media (382), cholesteatoma (385.3), or history of any inner (P20) or middle (P19) ear surgery (including cochlear implantation) is disqualifying.
Myringotomy or successful tympanoplasty is not disqualifying.
I would ask your recruiter to call the MEPS physician and find out if there is a waiting period after having it done!

Re: Ear surgery before joining
I know this isn't exactly your issue but it does list a time frame which might be similar???
Tympanic membrane.
Current perforation of the tympanic membrane (384.2) or history of surgery to correct perforation during the preceding 120 days (P19) is disqualifying.
Re: Ear surgery before joining
I cannot ethically advise you to intentionally violate army regs. I can tell you, as an MD, that an MD cannot determine a patient has had a tymplanoplasty by looking at the eardrum. It looks like a tiny area of scar which could be due to an infection as a child.
I can tell you that the Army never knew I had had both knees scoped, due to sports injuries, because I never told the examining physician and never put it on the medical exam paperwork I had had the surgeries. I jumped out of airplanes for four years and my knees never became a problem. BG Theodore Roosevelt Jr, son of the President, never told the 4th division CO that he required a cane to get around due to his advanced arthritis from combat wounds in WW1. BG Roosevelt landed in the 1st wave at Utah Beach in Normandy and was heroic and awarded the MOH. If he can do it, so can I lol.Last edited by airbornedoc; February 10th, 2012, 07:53 AM.

Sunday afternoon was not calm for local law enforcement officers.
At approximately 12:54 p.m. on Feb. 17, an attempt to locate bulletin sounded the air waves in patrol cars across Emery and Carbon County. A driver in a 2001 white Pontiac Trans Am had reportedly left a gas station in Crescent Junction without paying. Officers responded to the gas skip broadcast and attempted to find the suspect vehicle.
Utah Highway Patrol Trooper Travis Lemon and an Emery sheriff's deputy located the alleged vehicle and pulled the suspect over near mile post 159.
Lemon exited his patrol vehicle and approached the suspect car. As the trooper approached the Pontiac, the driver purportedly fled the Emery County scene westbound on I-70. The two law enforcement officers followed the suspect, who had turned and fled westbound on U.S. Highway 6. The officers lost visual contact with the suspect.
Authorities in Carbon County were notified of the incident and were awaiting the arrival of the suspect vehicle which was reported heading toward Wellington at excessive speeds. The officers had received reports of a white Trans Am passing unsafely at a high rate of speed, allegedly running motorists off the road.
Traffic on U.S. 6 was steady in both directions, according to law enforcement officials. The traffic flow did not allow Lemon to pass safely, which resulted in the suspect leading the pursuit by about one mile ahead of the trooper.
Officers who responded to the incident managed to make visual contact with the suspect car and purportedly clocked the vehicle's speed at 120 miles per hour. Because of the danger involved in the situation, authorities decided to spike the tires of the suspect car. Spikes were to be placed at Cat Canyon near Wellington.
The suspect, however, did not reach these spikes before turning the vehicle around and heading eastbound near Cat Canyon. After turning around, the suspect wrecked the vehicle and fled on foot heading in the direction of Wellington.
Law enforcement personnel reportedly followed the suspect into a gully near the Savage yard east of Wellington. Price Police Officer Dennis Christensen apprehended the suspect and transported the man to Castleview Hospital. The suspect was later transferred to the Carbon County Jail.
Although the name of the individual has not been released, Lemon indicated the suspect is an 18 year old male from Minnesota. Lemon also indicated the Pontiac was reported stolen from a car dealership in Lexington, Neb.
The suspect was booked into jail on several charges, including theft of services, felony evasion, possession of stolen property and attempted homicide for the reckless endangerment of motorists traveling U.S. 6.

JBU used to do this (they still might). The problem here is that with most gates now, and the jetways going to the parked aircraft, to board at the back, you'd need to get those passengers down onto the ramp to do so. Most terminals may or may not have that ability. Some do allow this (LGB, BUR, SNA, for example, do). JBU did when they were parking at the A gates at LAS, but now that they've moved, they no longer do this.
What this guy doesn't realize is that it will take more time to do this for SWA than what they are doing now. This would add at least 10 - 15 minutes to their goal of the 20-minute turnaround.
In short, this guy is complaining about something, but doesn't know about the ramifications of what he is proposing.
One of the major reasons some airlines "zone load" is for weight and balance situations. Loading an airplane in the rear first would risk the tail of the plane tipping.....not good. In earlier years, the Aircraft would have a "tail stand" affixed during loading of either cargo or pax.
Southwest has simplified the loading process by giving you the option of an earlier boarding "number". Most with the earlier boarding number load the forward part of the plane, satisfying the "balance" situation. Boarding process 101.
I like this idea the best. Board First Class, then those without carry on, and last, folks with steamer trunks and 5 whining kids. When we reach destination, First Class and us non-carry on go about our business while those loading their pack mules can do so at their leisure.
Im sorry but that sounds like a terrible idea and an expensive one. To make his idea happen you would need two jet bridges (one to the rear to enplane, one to the front to deplane). good concept, Bad Idea.
Nice thought but.....why don't airlines with assigned seating board highest numbers first ? It's all a game to make you think you are "special" and lots of people buy in. As for baggage, they would rather have 100 pax handle instead of 2 baggage handlers. Funny how you can get to the airport early to get through security, wait an hour to start boarding, but can't stand to wait 10 minutes to deplane. I love it!
The system is supposed to work to board passengers in sections such as group 1,2,3. each group in theory is supposed to have passengers from the front, middle and back to avoid congestion in each area.there are many theories of how to board. Take a look at this link if interested it shows and explains boarding practice used by most domestic U.S Airlines.
My flights must have missed the memo. Lol
If you load in the reverse order of unloading its quickest but you don't get to feel special. If I had an assigned seat in first class I would be dead last to board.
As a matter of fact, anytime I have assigned seating I'm happy with being last to board.
I only Non-rev anymore I am just happy to have a seat.
I think the "hurry up and wait" mentality overtakes any logic or system airlines try to use.
You should be so lucky you get to complain about flying. I've got news for you though, the people that board first and take up so much time arrive at the destination the same time you do.
SW can still turn around faster than the airlines that make you pay for "excess" baggage. Those airlines force people to bring everything they own as carry on.
I remember when airlines did board both the front and back when jets first came into commercial use in the late '50s
You are old. You actually walked up air stairs. Sorry. I'm a member too. That when jets were fast.
Yep. I walked up many door air stairs on the DC-3's and Convair 240's !
Yes, those were the days! When it was really fun to fly as a passenger. As a Pilot, THOSE WERE THE DAYS!
I don't like the new thing that Southwest is doing where you pay forty dollars to be one of the first fifteen on board. To me, it's at least thirty extra minutes that you have to sit in an uncomfortable seat going nowhere. I would rather stand in a line because I am going to be sitting for the next hour at least.
Get a private jet, boarding is easy!!!
poor aircraft have such lousy safety records. i'd rather not die in a fiery crash.
And you are single pilot ifr? Better recheck those stats. I am in the same category and understand the limitations. I don't have a schedule to maintain. But a turbine powered, multi engined, crewed, airplane just has better odds.
Next time, just say "I'm an idiot."
SW has at least 2 gates at ALB that can board from the front and aft at the same time. In looking at Google Earth of the ALB conccourses, it appears that the two south gates have an additional "arm" on the jetway that goes over the wing to reach the aft door.
This DOES speed up the turn-around time rather dramatically!
There actually exist over-the-wing jet bridges that allow rear door ops. I believe DEN and YYC have a few. The other alternative I've seen is using an airstair at the rear door, but then you have the additional work of routing pax down to the ramp.
No matter what you try it's still up to the passengers getting on the plane or off that make it quick or not. I see people all the time stand in the middle of the ilse and just goof off meesing with there carry ons and such. Me. I know where I'm sitting,when I get there I'm already ready to throw my bag in the bin and sit down. 20 seconds and I'm out of the way.
Simple, just don't bother boarding until they make the final announcement. It also would help to do so w/out carry-on and on an airline with assigned seating.
yeah except the last person to board a southwest flight will undoubtedly get a crap seat.
The perverbial middle seat......gotta love it!
Then i recommend you elect to NOT pay the optional 40 dollars!
Last I checked, a 737 doesn't have a back door.....
That's where they board the peanuts, pop, and Jack Daniels.
Lol. I know there is one back there, just figured it was only used for my peanuts! (And emergencies).

Utah Attorney General Mark Shurtleff recently put the state's teens on notice by providing shocking statistics about the dangers associated with distracted driving.
According to the National Transportation Safety Board, teens represent seven percent of the driving population, but the young motorists account for more than 13 percent of the total number of traffic accidents involving fatalities.
"Saving a child's life is something we can all support," said Shurtleff in an Oct. 21 press release promoting National Teen Driving Safety week. "Far too many students lose a classmate, a friend or a companion in car accidents each year. Now is the time to act to prevent future tragedies."
NTSB statistics from 2007 show that:
â¢7,360 youth younger than the age of 21 were involved in fatal vehicle crashes.
â¢Of all fatal car crashes, 16-year-old drivers are more than twice as likely to be involved in fatal crashes as older drivers.
â¢Two-thirds of the passengers killed in teen driver crashes were teenagers.
"It is important to reinforce the idea that, once a vehicle is in motion, the driver must devote his or her full attention to the task at hand - operating the vehicle safely," pointed out the Utah attorney general. "The phone call can wait. The sip of soda or bite of a burger can wait. Nothing is more important than getting to your destination safely."
Utah has not passed legislation that bans the use of hand held devices while driving, however, the state has passed preemptive laws to minimize dangers associated with distracted driving.
Utah law defines careless driving as committing a moving traffic violation other than speeding while distracted by use of a hand held cell phone or other activities not related to operating a vehicle.
The theme of the 2008 national teen driving week focuses on the safety of passengers. The goal of the program is to warn students of the severity of a vehicle crash and the consequences to themselves, their passengers and the general public by driving in an unsafe manner.
The Heads Up Utah program has outlined several tips that will help all motorists, teen and adult alike, to practice safer driving habits when dealing with the general public as they relate to vehicles and pedestrians.
The campaign's website at www.headsuputah.com outlines several myths and facts that can help drivers make the right decision once on the road.
The website addresses a common theory that, because a vehicle is bigger and faster, pedestrians have the right of way.
The fact is, because a motor vehicle has the potential to cause serious and fatal injuries to a pedestrian, the driver has the greater responsibility.
A motor vehicle must yield to any pedestrian in a crosswalk, marked or unmarked.
In fact, the Utah code specifies that a motorist must always exercise due care to avoid colliding with a pedestrian regardless of the situation.
The organization recommends that motorists:
â¢Slow down and use caution in residential areas around schools, playgrounds, parks, bus shops or areas where children and other pedestrians are common.
â¢Watch vehicles stopped at crosswalks for pedestrians crossing. All vehicles approaching from the rear must stop to allow the pedestrian to cross.
â¢Must yield the right-of-way to pedestrians crossing at intersections or in any other marked crosswalk.
â¢When exiting a parking lot or driveway a motorist must stop before the sidewalk and on the sidewalk before crossing over the walk.
â¢Motorists must realize that a pedestrian the most vulnerable obstacle on the road and should use extreme caution when dealing with their actions.

(Girls) Sanford-Fritch 44 Childress 23
On Tuesday evening, the Sanford-Fritch Lady Eagles started the second half of District 1-2A play by easily beating the Childress Lady Bobcats 44-23 in Childress.
Christa White had the hot hand for the Lady Eagles by scoring 16 points, along with three steals, three rebounds, and two assists.
Jacy Judd had nine points and five assists, while Summer Tubbs had a good defensive game by coming up with seven rebounds, three steals and two block shots.
On Monday, Borger High School senior Ty Brown verbally committed to play collegiate football for the Henderson State University Reddies in Arkadelphia, Ark.
Brown will make the second Borger Bulldog to commit to the university this week, after teammate Miles McKinney committed to Henderson State on Sunday.
In 2011, Brown established himself as one of the best running backs in West Texas by rushing for over 1200 yards with 15 touchdowns and earn District 1-3A Offensive MVP honors, despite missing over three games due to a leg injury.
On Tuesday evening, the Amarillo High Lady Sandies defeated the Borger Lady Bulldogs 1-0 in a game that would be called at the 25th minute in the second half due to lightning.
The Lady Bulldogs will return to action in Amarillo on Monday, January 30th in their district opener against Amarillo Palo Duro.
On Tuesday evening, the Borger Bulldogs dropped to 1-2 in District 1-3A play by losing to the Dalhart Golden Wolves 58-32 at Tex Hanna Gym.
The Bulldogs struggled to take care of the ball leading to the team committing 26 turnovers. The Wolves took advantage of those Borger miscues by scoring 16 points directly off turnovers, including eight points in the third period, to help Dalhart build a 13 point lead going into the fourth period.
The Bulldogs got off to a good start in the game taking an early 4-0 lead off of baskets by Tyrell Haynes and Jamon Hearon.
On Tuesday evening, the Dalhart Lady Wolves used a fast start to get the 68-38 over the Borger Lady Bulldogs in District 1-3A action at Tex Hanna Gym.
The Lady Bulldogs struggled offensively in the first period by going 1/10 from the floor and not getting on the scoreboard until Vanessa Jones hit two free throws at the 2:45 mark.
Unfortunately the same couldn't be said for Dalhart, as the the Lady Wolves used fast break opportunities and two three pointers to build a 5-21 lead by the end of the first period.

In November 1997, Rabbi Eric H. Yoffie unveiled an initiative to encourage every Reform Jew to read significant Jewish books. Since then, the Union has selected eight volumes each year and prepared study guides for them. These discussion
guides are a great resource for a self-facilitated adult education series. You

Q&A | December 6, 2013
How To Get Staff Buy-In For The As-A-Service Model
Almost daily, Business Solutions magazine hears from industry experts and from subscribers that to survive in the channel, a business must find a way to build a predictable revenue stream and maximize profitability. For changes in your business to result in success, however, everyone has to support the transition. In the BSM article "3 Prerequisites For Managed Services Success," Marco LaVecchia, director of North American sales for N-able, says, "If your technicians, sales reps, and COO are not on the same page, the chances of running a successful managed services practice decrease dramatically."
In a presentation for the Retail Solutions Providers Association (RSPA), Jameson Publishing and Business Solutions president Jim Roddy said using proven communication and management practices helps foster staff buy-in — whether transitioning to the as-a-Service business model or facing other challenges as a company.
In his own role as a manager, Roddy ascribes to a number of best practices, including:
- "Let them know when you know — always." Don't withhold information from your employees. This avoids uneasiness with the situation, as well as speculation and gossip.
- The 30-second rule. Each time you speak, limit yourself to 30 seconds or less. You won't overwhelm your employees with too much information, and they'll be less likely to miss the point. Also use silence to allow time for them to respond.
Use analogies that fit.
- Incorrect: The employee is a basketball fan, so you try to convert the discussion into a basketball analogy.
- Correct: Relate the changes to a shared work experience between you and them.
- Combine empathy with aggressiveness. Aggressiveness is not harsh. It is persistence in getting the information you need to make a good decision, clearly communicating your perceptions, and moving forward. Empathy is not sympathy. It is understanding and valuing the individual's feelings without losing sight of the best interests of your company and the individual.
- Understand "Comfort Zone vs. Courage Zone"…and avoid the Terror Zone. Don't catapult employees outside their comfort zones. Help them, guide them, and partner with them to move them forward. Remember, your comfort zone is not always their comfort zone.
- Delegation. In addition to listing their takeaways, list your part of the plan and acknowledge the tasks that will be combined efforts.
Set Them Up For Future Reference (STUFFR). Identify and understand a potential problem and/or a future course of action and discuss it with the staff in advance. You need to note the staff's (and your own) exact words and commitment to not failing. There are four steps to STUFFR:
- Obviate: To anticipate and prevent. Be skeptical of what can go wrong so you can prevent it.
- Set clear expectations: Be as specific as possible about the situation and the actions to be taken.
- Recap the conversation: Ensure that you both agree.
- Write it down! Don't rely on your memory to capture details of your discussion.
- Ever-changing priorities. Ensure the team understands that you will need to frequently reprioritize activities to focus on those you learn will provide the biggest opportunity for the company.
Roddy selected the subjects of several BSM articles to illustrate some of these principles as they apply to transitioning to the as-a-Service model.
- The Real Story Behind Managed Services: "The reason for resistance is that it is a lot of work to put together (monthly customer services data). We don't have that process automated yet. I tell my people that I need them to think differently. They have to be the catalysts to automate processes like that." Jason Waldrop, CEO of Connected WorkPlace Solutions.
- Benchmark Your Managed Services Success: TS TECH published goals as yearlong projects with milestones every 90 days, using paper reminders posted around the office. An internal service board lists all the outstanding tickets associated with TS TECH's efforts to improve, allowing everyone in the company to see what work remains outstanding.
- The $1 Million Managed Services Gamble: Greg Bertschmann, president of Harbor Networks, tasked an employee to reorganize the company. "He helped select the hardware and software that was scalable, and he helped us create useful marketing pieces we could share with customers. He was also instrumental in our staffing decisions, helping us ensure we hired people with the right skills and attitudes to support our goals." Harbor Networks achieved 25 percent sales growth.
- Sell Managed Services Without Making Break-Fix Exceptions: Corsica Technologies president Dale Walls gets involved with a majority of prospects during the sales process, so he can help his account reps determine whether the prospect is a good fit or not.
- The Managed Services Model Has Changed – Have You?: "The biggest challenge we ran into during this transition was pushback from some of our team members. We have a very technical group, but we learned that some people are fearful of change, so we made sure to keep in regular contact with the group and reinforce that this was how we were going to run the business. Eventually, we were able to get everyone's buy-in," says Bruce Nelson, president of Vertical Solutions.
- What's Delaying Your Transition To Managed Services?: "We hired a management coaching firm to help us identify our weak areas and to help us create and roll out a plan to improve. With any change, you have to anticipate there will be some resistance. But, the key is to show your employees why you're making the changes and to keep in regular communication about your intentions," says Steve Rutkovitz, CEO of Choice Technologies.
Roddy also warns VARs transitioning to managed services to avoid five common mistakes:
- Not taking the necessity of buy-in seriously and trying to move forward without it
- You have the wrong people on your team; and/or you don't take action with those who refuse to buy in
- Replacing discussing and partnering with dictating or commanding
- Placing action before communication
- Moving too quickly; trying to complete an overhaul instead of instituting gradual change
For more information on change management, Roddy suggests reading:

Hallo all,
I have seen different concepts promoted to set-up a server for a SOHO environment. Nonetheless, I did not find a site that documents such concept in a structured way.
So I have started to document a concept ... http://gsoho-server.org.
I would be happy to receive some feedback and find people who would like to contribute.


text:
Atlanta @ Carolina.- Panthers still have not proven to be a good home team but they are a better team than Atlanta and Ryan has to prove he can win on the road before I could pick them..
Cleveland @ Cincinnati.- I will take the better QB at home but both teams are dysfunctional right now.
Houston @ Jacksonville.- Jacksonville builds on its huge road win last week.
Denver @ Kansas City.- Broncos could EASILY be 1-2 right now. Their defense can not stop the pass and they cant generate ANY pass rush, but KC is just brutally bad. KC will keep it closer than people think, but Denver will pull it out.
San Francisco @ New Orleans.- Good game and important one for both teams. I think NO squeaks one out..
Arizona @ NY Jets.- Cards go down on the road on the east coast.
Green Bay @ Tampa Bay.- Bucs pull the mild upset.
Minnesota @ Tennessee.- Home game, my favorite NFL coach, a defense you cant run on, and a good running game. Count me as a believer.
San Diego @ Oakland.- LT's breakout game. Raiders can never stop LT. Kiffin's last game as a head coach of the Raiders.
Buffalo @ St. Louis.- Does St. Louis have ANY pride?.... Nope.
Washington @ Dallas.- Just too many weapons for the Boys and Washington cant outscore them.
Philadelphia @ Chicago.- Westbrook's health is a big issue but Buckhalter can hold it down if needed. Jim Johnson's defenses usually FEAST on "limited" ability QB's.
Baltimore @ Pittsburgh.- No Fast Willy and Big Ben is hurting and they cant seem to protect the QB worth a crap in Pitt right now against a swarming defense so I will take Balt.... skip that, I am taking Pitt.

Mr. Crackerz' BOLD Predictions: Team name Battles!!!
Atlanta @ Carolina- In nature, a Panther will have no problem with a falcon.
Cleveland @ Cincinnati- The color brown vs. a bengal... hmm im going with the animal
Houston @ Jacksonville- a texan would be scared of a jaguar (hey, i would too_
Denver @ Kansas City- As much respect i have on indian chief's, bronco's brought by the conquistadors are what created America.
San Francisco @ New Orleans- Saints are peaceful and noble... well actually they were pretty bad until the last 200 years. Therefore, i think a miner would have an upperhand (more determination)
Arizona @ NY Jets- Man man bird vs the real thing... i've got human bias
Green Bay @ Tampa Bay- Pirates vs. Cheesepackers... umm this is an easy choice after just watching Pirates of the Caribbean
Minnesota @ Tennessee- A viking over a titan... this is like a jetsons vs flinstone question. Sorry Barney and Fred
San Diego @ Oakland- Pirates (again) vs. Lightning Bolts (which scares the crap out of me). This is probably going to be the only time i pick against the Raiders this season.
Buffalo @ St. Louis- A ram or a bill. Now i kno there helmets depict a buffalo (which rams are stronger), but i'll pretend it has a case full of Benjamins instead... and with those benjamins, u can by something to defeat that pesky ram
Washington @ Dallas- Wow, what a retro matchup. Cowboys vs Indians.... lemme take my vintage toys out to determine this one.... oh, it was close (and a lotta fun )
Philadelphia @ Chicago- Eagles and bears... hmm both smart creatures. both having trouble with extinction problems... I'm going Patriotic on this one
Baltimore @ Pittsburgh- Edger Allen Poe wrote an awesome poem called the Raven. How i would like to Steal (steel) the original copy!

Titans @ Ravens – Titans are 5-2 against the AFC dating back to last season and have won 6 games in a row where they are a 3pt favorite. Titans are legit. Will be another physical game that is fun to watch for people that like defense and tough teams.
Chiefs @ Panthers – Someone breaks a trend in this one: Panthers are 1-3 at home against the AFC over the past 4 years while Chiefs are 1-3 on the road vs the NFC in the past 4 years. I think the Chiefs cover the 9.5 spread but lose the game.
Bears @ Lions – I am going out on a limb and say the combination of Millen getting fired and Tommie Harris being suspended energize the Lions at home.
Falcons @ Packers – Atlanta seems so different on the road. Rodgers health is a big question mark but I think this is the game where R.Grant finally resembles last season.
Colts @ Texans – Bye week should have helped the Colts refocus. Would not surprise me to see Houston win in their home opener but I will lean Colts.
Chargers @ Dolphins – Don't like West coast teams traveling east in early games but I think the Chargers have too much talent. Look for the Phins to be able to put up some points on this suspect Chargers D.
Seahawks @ Giants – Hawks have been terrible coming off the bye week under Holmgren and even worst on the east coast in early games. Seahawks have laid the wood to the Giants in Seattle last couple of years. Payback for the GMen.
Redskins @ Eagles – Don't know if there is a more valuable player to his team then westbrook so not knowing if he will play makes this tough. But this really is a MUST win for Philly and I think they get it done.
Bucs @ Broncos – This Broncos D is just TERRIBLE and I think the Bucs are a better team, but Denver has a pretty strong home field advantage. You think Shannahan and Gruden will have some stuff to talk about before the game with all the stuff coming out of Oakland this week!
Bills @ Cardinals – I think the Bills come back to earth a bit in this one.
Bengals @ Cowboys – Um, no need to comment. Bengals organization is an embarrassment.
Patriots @ 49ers – A proud franchise that was embarrassed and has had two weeks to think about it. When the Pats are motivated, they rarely lose.
Steelers @ Jaguars – Injuries are starting to wreak havoc in the Steel city. Jags win at home.
Vikings @ Saints – Vikes get McKinnie back after serving his 4 game suspension and they get their ground game going in full motion and pull the road upset..

Seahawks @ Giants- Seattle was former home of 1 time NBA winner Sonics, where most wins in a season happened for the Mariners, and the NFL's "greatest fans" (aka the 12th man).

Redskins @ Eagles- D.C. is home to 1 NBA championship, 3 Superbowls. However no Stanley Cups or MLB rings. Home of Basketball greatness Georgetown. Philadelphia has winners all around. 3 NBA titles, 2 Stanley Cups, 1 World Series win, 3 NFL championships but (no Superbowl)
Bucs @ Broncos- Tampa Bay has 1 Stanley Cup, and 1 Superbowl. However, in a month they can get 1 World Series. Denver is home to 2 Superbowls under Shanarat and Elway, 2 Stanleys, but disappointing Nuggets franchise and besides last year, disappointed in baseball. still 4 beats 2.
Bills @ Cardinals- Home of Warren Spahn, 4 straight SB appearance (no wins however). No stanleys for sabres. Arizona is home to Diamondbacks World Series in 2001, Lute Olson College Basketball, and fun Sun's team this decade.

About the ManufacturerIn the midst of the Great Depression, two aggressive young men emerged with two new products that would make major contributions to the housing industry. In 1932, Henry Broan developed and manufactured a kitchen fan called the Motordor® Fan that provided quiet and efficient kitchen ventilation. His creation launched what is today known as Broan-NuTone LLC. Four years later, in 1936, J. Ralph Corbett developed a melodious door chime replacing the obnoxious door buzzer of the time. His development launched what is today known as NuTone, Inc.
Both men, headquartered in the Midwest, started their companies with a simple product and a few employees. Each expanded their companies, creating revolutionary new products that provided unmatched conveniences for homeowners nationwide. Both quickly became global companies and continued to provide innovative, superior products to meet the needs of consumers.
In 1981, Broan Mfg. Co., Inc. was acquired by Nortek, Inc. and became the lead company of Nortek's Residential Building Products Group, which was named the Broan Group.
During this same time period, NuTone was sold to Scovill Manufacturing in 1967 and was then acquired by Williams plc in 1991. In 1998, Nortek acquired NuTone, adding it to the Broan Group and renaming the group the Broan-NuTone Group. Then, in January 2000, Broan Mfg. Co., Inc. became Broan-NuTone LLC, with NuTone Inc., Aubrey Manufacturing, Inc. and Rangaire LP as subsidiaries.
Today, the Broan-NuTone Group is headquartered in Hartford, Wis. and employs more than 3,200 people in six countries on three continents. It is North America's largest producer of residential ventilation products such as range hoods, ventilation fans and indoor air quality products and also holds major market positions in chimes, central vacuums, intercom systems, medicine cabinets, built-in electric heaters, whole-house fans, attic ventilators, paddle fans, ironing centers, trash compactors and speakers.
Broan-NuTone also manufactures private-label products for Sears, Whirlpool, GE and other appliance leaders.
Broan® and NuTone® products are distributed through major retailers as well as lumberyards, independent co-ops, mass merchants, leading electrical and HVAC distributors and hardware stores throughout the United States and Canada. Most recently, the Broan brand has been introduced to the European marketplace.

16 U.S. Code § 777g - Maintenance of projects
(a) Duty of States; status of projects; title to property
To maintain fish-restoration and management projects established under the provisions of this chapter shall be the duty of the States according to their respective laws. Beginning July 1, 1953, maintenance of projects heretofore completed under the provisions of this chapter may be considered as projects under this chapter. Title to any real or personal property acquired by any State, and to improvements placed on State-owned lands through the use of funds paid to the State under the provisions of this chapter, shall be vested in such State.
(b) Funding requirements
(1) Each State shall allocate 15 percent of the funds apportioned to it for each fiscal year under section 777c of this title for the payment of up to 75 per centum of the costs of the acquisition, development, renovation, or improvement of facilities (and auxiliary facilities necessary to insure the safe use of such facilities) that create, or add to, public access to the waters of the United States to improve the suitability of such waters for recreational boating purposes. Notwithstanding this provision, States within a United States Fish and Wildlife Service Administrative Region may allocate more or less than 15 percent in a fiscal year, provided that the total regional allocation averages 15 percent over a 5 year period.
(2) So much of the funds that are allocated by a State under paragraph (1) in any fiscal year that remained unexpended or unobligated at the close of such year are authorized to be made available for the purposes described in paragraph (1) during the succeeding four fiscal years, but any portion of such funds that remain unexpended or unobligated at the close of such period are authorized to be made available for expenditure by the Secretary of the Interior to supplement the 57 percent of the balance of each annual appropriation to be apportioned among the States under section 777c (c) of this title.
(c) Aquatic resource education program; funding, etc.
Each State may use not to exceed 15 percent of the funds apportioned to it under section 777c of this title to pay up to 75 per centum of the costs of an aquatic resource education and outreach and communications program for the purpose of increasing public understanding of the Nation's water resources and associated aquatic life forms. The non-Federal share of such costs may not be derived from other Federal grant programs. The Secretary shall issue not later than the one hundred and twentieth day after the effective date of this subsection such regulations as he deems advisable regarding the criteria for such programs.
(d) National Outreach and Communications Program
(1) Implementation
Within 1 year after June 9, 1998, the Secretary of the Interior shall develop and implement, in cooperation and consultation with the Sport Fishing and Boating Partnership Council, a national plan for outreach and communications.
(2) Content
The plan shall provide—
(A) guidance, including guidance on the development of an administrative process and funding priorities, for outreach and communications programs; and
(3) Secretary may match or fund programs
Under the plan, the Secretary may obligate amounts available under subsection (a)(5) orsubsection (b) ofsection 777c of this title—
(A) to make grants to any State or private entity to pay all or any portion of the cost of carrying out any outreach and communications program under the plan; or
(e) State outreach and communications program
Within 12 months after the completion of the national plan under subsection (d)(1) of this section, a State shall develop a plan for an outreach and communications program and submit it to the Secretary. In developing the plan, a State shall—
(2) consult with anglers, boaters, the sportfishing and boating industries, and the general public; and
(f) Pumpout stations and waste reception facilities
Amounts apportioned to States under section 777c of this title may be used to pay not more than 75 percent of the costs of constructing, renovating, operating, or maintaining pumpout stations and waste reception facilities (as those terms are defined in the Clean Vessel Act of 1992).
(g) Surveys
(1) National framework
Within 6 months after June 9, 1998, the Secretary, in consultation with the States, shall adopt a national framework for a public boat access needs assessment which may be used by States to conduct surveys to determine the adequacy, number, location, and quality of facilities providing access to recreational waters for all sizes of recreational boats.
(2) State surveys
Within 18 months after June 9, 1998, each State that agrees to conduct a public boat access needs survey following the recommended national framework shall report its findings to the Secretary for use in the development of a comprehensive national assessment of recreational boat access needs and facilities.
(3) Exception
Paragraph (2) does not apply to a State if, within 18 months after June 9, 1998, the Secretary certifies that the State has developed and is implementing a plan that ensures there are and will be public boat access adequate to meet the needs of recreational boaters on its waters.
