Infighting left Sony behind Apple in digital music. Can it come back?; Teaching an Old Walkman Some New Steps
By KEN BELSON; Laurie Flynn contributed reporting from San Francisco for this article.
Published: April 19, 2004
Last July, while most people were taking summer vacations, the Sony Corporation of America made a little noticed, but crucial announcement. Jay Samit, a longtime music industry executive, was appointed general manager of Sony Connect, a new subsidiary that will sell songs online and allow consumers to play them on their Sony gadgets.
His appointment was largely overlooked outside the company, but inside, the move was immediately understood as a way to unite the sometimes conflicting electronics and content divisions.
That internal battle was seen by many as the reason Sony, the inventor of the Walkman and the biggest player in the portable audio market, was being trounced by Apple Computer and its hit, the iPod music player, in the emerging digital segment. Something had to be done.
How Sony got outflanked is as much about Sony's inflexibility as Apple's initiative. With its ownership of premier music labels and its foundation in electronics, Sony had all the tools to create its own version of iPod long before Apple's product came to market in 2001. But Sony has long wrestled with how to build devices that let consumers download and copy music without undermining sales in the music labels or agreements with its artists.
Mr. Samit, 43, came from the EMI Group with experience untangling technological and legal knots. He had had a long career selling traditional content in new formats. And he was an outsider, and considered better able to bridge the gap between Sony's engineers in Tokyo and its music team in the United States. ''The only reason we didn't do this earlier is the guys didn't talk to each other,'' Mr. Samit said of Sony's new digital music venture.
A lot is riding on the Connect online store, which will be released in a few weeks. If it catches on with consumers, it will help validate the company's long-held goal of integrating its electronics, music and movie businesses -- and give it a shot at re-establishing its leadership in the latest generation of portable music.
''Now it's about integration,'' said Robert S. Wiesenthal, the chief strategy officer of Sony Broadband Entertainment, who works with Mr. Samit. ''Unless you have the integration, it won't work.''
Sony's brand name, vast retail network and expertise in electronics are notable advantages, which Mr. Samit said made it possible for Sony to offer a more affordable and more convenient alternative to Apple's music system.
Like Apple's iTunes online music store, Connect will have 500,000 songs that can be downloaded for 99 cents each. But while iTunes songs can be played only on iPods, Sony already sells a variety of devices, including minidisc and compact disc players, which can play songs bought on Connect's Web site. Sony's new Hi-MD disc player, for instance, will hold up to 45 hours of music on one disc, which will retail for about $7.
One of Sony's flash memory players will store up to 22 hours of music and have batteries that last about 100 hours.
''We're not about one-size-fits-all,'' said Mr. Samit, sitting in his Manhattan office with Louis Armstrong playing in the background. ''You can't believe it's about just one brick that people will carry,'' he said, referring to the iPod.
Steven P. Jobs, Apple's chief executive, said the minidisc player, which uses discs that can be recorded on, much like a cassette player, would not catch on in the United States the way it had overseas.
''We have a very healthy respect for Sony,'' Mr. Jobs said in a telephone interview. ''But Sony believes very strongly in the minidisc, and we don't. It might work in Japan but not here.'' Apple's most expensive iPod, by contrast, uses a hard drive that can store up to 10,000 songs.
Mr. Samit said Sony would cover all bases when it releases a player this year that included a hard drive just like the iPod. Sony is also developing a portable device that plays video downloads, he said.
Sony will compete strongly on price. The most expensive iPod costs $499, while Sony's devices capable of using Connect -- including network Walkmen and players that use memory sticks -- will sell for $60 to $300.
And Sony is planning to market broadly, starting this summer with promotions with McDonald's -- buy a Big Mac and get a free downloadable song -- and United Airlines, which will let fliers exchange mileage points for songs.
Apple will remain a formidable rival. The company's new mini version of the iPod and longer battery life for its products make its brand as sought after as ever. To extend its reach, Apple has licensed iPod technology to Hewlett-Packard and made the iTunes site available to AOL and its 25 million subscribers. It wisely made iTunes compatible with Windows operating systems.
''This is a different phenomenon from 15 years ago,'' said Megan Graham-Hackett, an equity analyst at Standard & Poor's. ''Sony wouldn't have looked at Apple as a competitor then. Apple has been quite innovative.''
Apple, though, is not the only rival Sony faces. Dell and other manufacturers have come out with digital music players. What's more, songs downloaded from Dell's MusicMatch Web site can be copied onto a much wider variety of devices.
''We don't like to lock people and force them to use this or that service,'' said Mark Vena, director for the digital home marketing team at Dell.

Opinion: How I Learned to Love the Filibuster
After the Senate last week defeated President Obama's American Jobs Act through filibuster, the Congressional tactic has come under a lot of criticism. Illinois Senator Richard Durbin said Tuesday that he favors a return to earlier (and tougher) rules, which required dissenting lawmakers hold the floor continuously in order to defeat a bill. And the defeat of major legislation never fails to result in the perennial calls to end the filibuster maneuver itself.
I don't understand how people support getting rid of the filibuster. Like so much else in politics, it stems from a lack of long term perspective, or in this case even medium term. The last generation has seen an increasing level of partisanship, leading up to the current extremes of the Tea Party, and now the possibility of a similarly divisive element on the left rising up and pulling that party even farther away from the center like their right wing counterpart has.
Just go back a few years, to the early 2000's, and think to yourself what sort of hyper-partisan legislation would have passed when George W. Bush was in office, and the republicans had control of the House and Senate, or the two years where President Obama, Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid ran Washington. It is a truly scary thought.
If you, like most Americans, think taxes are too low on upper income people right now, and deficits are skyrocketing too much already, you have to agree with the filibuster. Take away the filibuster and both would be dramatically worse. I don't think it would be too much of a stretch to say that had the filibuster ended a decade ago, we might be looking at something to the tune of a twenty trillion dollar debt, instead of a fourteen trillion dollar debt, without the moderating influence of needing votes from moderates to pass spending bills that aren't paid for, and without covering tax cuts with spending cuts. The interest payments on the debt would eat up even more of the federal budget, and the future we'd be passing onto the next generation would be even more selfishly dire.
One wonders if the PATRIOT Act would have gone even farther towards encroaching on privacy had there not been the filibuster. I think it would have. How far would the right have gone towards attacking public education in No Child Left Behind, had they not needed moderates to pass their legislation in the Senate?
I think you would be deluded if you didn't think that Bush and company wouldn't have passed an even more stringless bailout, without needing moderates in the Senate to pass the legislation, and you can toss out how the program ended up paying for itself in the long run.
I shudder to think about what sort of trade agreements Bush and company might have passed without the filibuster, opening our trade doors wide, while not using our leverage to get the other country to do the same so we had some semblence of trade fairness.
Obama and company would have likely been able to go much farther than the vast majority would have wanted them to in regards to health care reform and passed actual socialized healthcare legislation, without the filibuster, as well as not needed to pay for the program without moderates pressing that issue.
Without the filibuster, the stimulus package Obama passed would have been much more wasteful and directed even more so at special interest groups beholden to the left, just as the stimulus package Bush passed would have been the mirror opposite.
We hear extreme ideological ideas tossed around all the time that people know will never pass... because of the filibuster. Without the filibuster, all the party in power needs to do is whip their own caucus into shape, and not even the whole of it.
If you think politics is insane now, like most people do, just toss out the filibuster and see the Pandora's Box of madness that ensues the moment either party takes a control of Washington again. The filibuster is one of the very few things keeping back a flood of hyper-partisanship that would make the last decade of increasing partisanship look like a dinner party in comparison.

A-10A Thunderbolt Warthog
The A-10 Thunderbolt II is one of the most distinctive aircraft in modern American military service. It is unique among modern military fighters with its straight-edge wing and primary cannon weaponry. The aircraft's primary design specification is its 30mm GAU-8 gun, a specification required by the Air Force after drawing on experiences in World War II and Vietnam. The cannon is so powerful that the aircraft must be at full throttle in order to fire a sustained burst, otherwise the A-10 would stall. Nickna

On Demand: A Great Big World Previews Starry Night!
by Rob Lucas
posted Jun 2 2014 8:08AM
There is nothing like the innocence of a band realizing they are becoming rockstars...having the breaks go their way...all while they scratch their heads saying "How did this happen to us?" That shines through so clearly as Ian and Chad from A Great Big World join Rob Lucas to talk up Starry Night In The Garden 2014.
The answer to question one says it all, describing (which they truly can't)
what the past 18 months have been like for them. From Kickstarter, to Christina Aguilera reaching out to them, to ESPN using "Already Home" to salute military mom/s, it's been one incredible ride for AGBW. And it's just starting. See them at SNITG2104 by getting tickets at tickets.com. We're betting this is the last time you'll see them in an intimate venue like this. They are destined to be playing arenas a few years from now, if not sooner!

Arizona Illustrated: 100 Artists in 100 Years (Part Two)
For decades, art has shaped this state. Almost 100 years ago, brothers Ellsworth and Emery Kolb packed a few ropes and large-format cameras and set off to capture their backyard wonder, the Grand Canyon. Their efforts were published, archived, and followed by a few of the the best landscape painters, photographers, and sculptors who continue to inspire artwork worldwide.
In the 100 years since Arizona's statehood, countless visual artists have made an impact on local culture through their work. Some of Arizona's most memorable artists were born here, some traveled through (and stayed for a while), and others chose to make Arizona home.
Until February 14, we'll list 100. Here are today's 25:
First Row: Ellsworth and Emery Kolb, El Mac, Emily Long, Emmett Potter, Frank Lloyd Wright
Second Row: Frederick Sommer, Frank Ybarra, Fritz Scholder, Hector Ruiz, Henry Leo Schoebel,
Third Row: Gennaro Garcia, James Hajicek, James Swinnerton, James Angel, Janet DeBerge Lange
Fourth Row: Jen Urso, Jessie Benton Evans, Jason Grubb, Jeff Falk, Joerael Elliott,

Falling streams of characters similar to the digital rain effect in The Matrix. Besides playing the effect full-screen, this app doesn`t do anything.
I`ve made the same visual up as a Live Wallpaper (with options for speed and afterimage), where it`s actually useful. That`s a separate download requiring a Nexus One.
If you are Android owner,you now can download Digital Rain App for from Google Play Store. The application is supporting English language. It weighs in at only 10MB to download. The new Digital Rain App app version 1.1 has been updated on 2014-11-08.

Robert Redford as the old (diehard) man and the sea in All Is Lost: review
Robert Redford delivers Oscar-beckoning performance in All Is Lost.
|Report an Error
Share via Email
All Is Lost
Starring Robert Redford. Written and directed by J. C. Chandor. Opens Oct. 25 at GTA theatres. 106 minutes. PG
Hast thou entered into the springs of the sea?
Or hast thou walked in the search of the depth?
— The Book of Job, 38:16
In less secular or cynical times, the torments visited upon Robert Redford's unlucky sailor in All Is Lost would be attributed to a supernatural reckoning straight out of the Old Testament.
There is no direct religious reference in this splendid sophomore drama by J.C. Chandor (Margin Call), unless you count the "God!" that Redford utters in frustration at one point.
Still, it's hard not to think of him as the biblical Job, the man who endures one misery after another, with no earthly justification for his pain or even much identification as to who he is.
Redford's character doesn't have a name (he's simply "Our Man" in the credits). There's no back story to his solo sail across the Indian Ocean, apart from a vaguely penitential "I'm sorry" offered up in an opening monologue directed at unseen family or friends.
Our Man is simply plunged into terror, awakening one morning to discover water pouring into the cabin of his 39-foot yacht, the Virginia Jean. The boat has a large gash, caused by a nighttime collision with an errant cargo container.
He is desperate but not defeated, springing to action with obvious seafaring skill and a vigour that belies his age (Redford is 77, but looks at least a decade younger).
Each time Our Man solves one problem, another immediately pops up. And there's a fast-approaching storm that would challenge even a fully intact vessel.
Cinéastes would call All Is Lost an exercise in "pure cinema," since it is stripped almost entirely of conventional character and plot details.
Our Man's exertions are parsed not through dialogue (he barely speaks) but through the clenched-teethed way he confronts mortality, refusing to yield to waves and rain that threaten to consume him at any moment.
Chandor's taut direction, Alex Ebert's urgent score and the dexterous cameras of Frank G. DeMarco (shipboard) and Life of Pi's Peter Zuccarini (underwater), all grimly focus on the existential business of survival at sea.
Yet for all its formal austerity, All Is Lost also offers itself as a widescreen multiplex attraction, keeping all eyes glued on Our Man's dilemma, and every mind wondering if he'll manage to cheat death. Chandor and Redford keep us guessing, steadily building tension.
Our Man's resourcefulness is demonstrated when he MacGyvers a way to get precious drops of fresh water. His abundant bravery is put to the test when encircling sharks are attracted by his fishing line.
It's a magnificent and awards-beckoning performance by Redford, who hasn't seemed this caught up in a film for a good 20 years or more. He did much of his own stunt work, including clambering up the mast of the Virginia Jean during one of many attempts to keep his boat afloat.
We get so engrossed in Our Man's dire circumstances, the film's Spartan design threatens to work against itself. We know so little about Our Man, his interior life remains closed to us, apart from his Job-like determination.
But in a fall movie season filled with survival sagas, the one that says the least is paradoxically the one we will likely remember the most.

About CR011-vcMMAE
CR011-vcMMAE is an ADC being developed by CuraGen that consists of a fully-human monoclonal antibody, CR011, linked to a potent cell-killing drug, monomethyl-auristatin E (MMAE). The ADC technology, comprised of MMAE and a stable linker system for attaching it to CR011, was licensed from Seattle Genetics, Inc. (Nasdaq: SGEN). The ADC is designed to be stable in the bloodstream. Following intravenous administration, CR011-vcMMAE targets and binds to GPNMB, a specific protein that is predominantly expressed on the surface of melanoma cells. Upon internalization into the targeted cell, CR011- vcMMAE is designed to release MMAE from CR011 to produce a cell-killing effect. Preclinical studies conducted with this potential therapeutic demonstrate that CR011-vcMMAE produces strong, reproducible and durable effects against tumors in animal models of melanoma. CR011-vcMMAE is currently in a Phase I/II trial initially assessing the safety and identifying a dose to be further evaluated in the Phase II portion of the study.

Writing children's books may seem like the easiest route to publishing, but that isn't entirely true. Children's authors and illustrators face challenges unique to their discipline; learning the ropes could mean the difference between success and failure.
Children's book conference coming to Oklahoma City
So says Anna Myers, a Chandler resident and author of 19 novels for children and teens.
"I'd wanted to be a writer since I was 6 years old," Myers said. "But I also had to get a degree in education because you have to have something to support yourself while you write. ... I wrote for seven years before I got published. Since then, it's been about one book a year."
Myers leads the Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators website, a local branch of an international society aimed at helping writers fulfill their dreams of writing or drawing books for young readers.
The local group will hold its annual conference on Saturday, March 29, at the Embassy Suites Hotel, 1815 S Meridian Ave. Registration is open until Thursday, March 27. Admission is $150 for group members and $175 for nonmembers.
It's well worth the price, Myers said.
"I always tell the tennis shoe story," she said. "My son really needed a new pair of shoes, but I was selfish and used the money to go to my first ... conference. Well, he didn't get those shoes, but I did earn enough from writing to pay all his expenses throughout college, so I think it worked out OK. I managed to put three children through college with my writing, one right after another."
The conference and membership in the group have helped other Oklahoma authors succeed, too. Hannah Harrison published her first book for children in February. "Extraordinary Jane," a picture book filled with beautifully rendered images of circus animals, immediately received starred reviews from Publishers Weekly and Kirkus Reviews, among others. Publishers Weekly described it as "an exceptionally polished first book."
"Hannah is adorable," Myers said. "She a pure ... success story. She got her agent, publisher and everything through this organization. She lives in Ada."
Gwendolyn Hooks of Oklahoma City had a lot to learn about the industry when she first encountered the the group many years ago, Myers said. That soon changed. Since then, Hooks has published 16 books, fiction and nonfiction, including her popular "Pet Club" series for young readers.
Hooks recently sold a picture book biography called "Vivien Thomas: The Man Who Saved the Blue Babies."
The book tells "the story of a young African-American man who, without a medical degree or a college education, designed the surgical technique that showed doctors how to operate on children born with Tetralogy of Fallot," conference publicist Regina Garvie said. Newborns afflicted with the condition are known as blue babies.

Ocado is a home delivery service that's most famous for selling Waitrose products and delivering them to your door (it also sells its own other stuff like flowers and books - bet you didn't know that), so you don't have to traipse around the supermarket bored.
The free app lets you add food to your shopping basket throughout the week before it's then sent out to you at a delivery time of your choosing. The interface is incredibly clean with various views to make it easier to understand, and the idea that you can be on the bus doing your food shop is incredibly appealing and in practice easy. Once you're ready to commit, you can then choose a delivery date, opt for a cheaper one if someone else in your area has also gone for the same slot and then pay. No computer to faff with, no hour wasted in your local supermarket.

I am trying to use OpenOPC to communicate between a Linux client. (Redhat 5.2) and a Matrikon Simulation server on a Windows XP machine.
When I make the OpenOPC.open_client call, I get the following error.
# python

Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

raise ProtocolError('connection failed')
Pyro.errors.ProtocolError: connection failed
If I follow the above commands from a command console locally on the windows machine, it connects fine. (I can get a list of running servers.)
I am guessing that the OpenOPC Gateway needs some permission or to have a port opened up or something.
The firewall is off on the windows machine. Both machines can ping each other.
I have also tried this with a Windows XP client machine. I get the same error.
In other words, it is not a Linux issue.
from your error output, it looks like the openopc clinet cannot connect to the openopc gateway running on the opc server machine. openopc is a 2-part item… you have to have the openopc-gatewayservice running on the windows-based opc server machine. then, you can run the openopc client instance (some program you write where you import openopc library and then connect - as you showed in example) running on windows / linux / whatever. for testing, disable the firewall on both machines, make sure the openopc gateway service is running on the opc server machine, and then try again.
I double checked and confirmed that the OpenOPCService.exe appears in the task manager on the server and that the firewall is disabled on the server machine and the windows client machine I tried earlier.
I tried it again with this setup, in case the service was not running before, and got the same error.
More information:
If I try to do this locally with 'localhost' it works. If I do this locally with the IP address of the server, it fails with the previously given error message.
Why would localhost work and the local IP address fail?
Andy Lawton
Does the OpenOPC service bind to all the network adapters in a PC, or just to the first one it finds?
I know there's supposed to have been a fix for the multiple interface issue - but I never really felt confident with it.
I typically advise running OpenOPC in a virtual machine (Win XP or Server 2003) with 4 GB of memory - swap/virtual memory disabled - and 2 processor cores.
Clendon Gibson
The PC which is acting as the server does have several network interfaces defined. I have disabled all but the one I actually use and still have the problem. So I have 2 questions.
How can I tell which interface(s) that the OpenOPC Gateway Service is bound to?
How would I remove/disable the other interfaces so this was not an issue?
I'm having exactly the same problem here.
I think that this is a bug with using the IP address instead of the localhost test on version 1.2.0 specifically. When you use the previous version of OpenOPC 1.1.6 and you type in the IP address, the connection works fine.
Has anyone figured out a way around this?
I'm sure Barry would disagree with me - but from my perspective (emphasis on 'perspective') there isn't a lot of difference between 1.1.6 and 1.2.0. For now, I'd revert to 1.1.6 and suggest you write Barry an email (firstname.lastname@example.com) with a link to this thread. If there is a legit issue, I'm sure he'll fix it - or give you a useable workaround.
Barry Barnreiter
In OpenOPC 1.2.0 you can solve this problem by setting system environment variable OPC_GATE_HOST equal to the IP address of the interface you want the Gateway Service to listen on. Then re-start the Gateway Service for it to pick up the new setting.
The OPC_GATE_HOST setting was added in 1.2.0 in order to support machines that have multiple ethernet interfaces. By setting this you can specify which interface the Gateway Service listens on. But unfortunately due to an oversight on my part, the default value for OPC_GATE_HOST supplied by the installer sets it to localhost. Thus until you specifically set OPC_GATE_HOST your Gatetway Service will only be listening on 127.0.0.1.
In the next release of OpenOPC I will add a new feature where you can specify OPC_GATE_HOST as "*" thus telling it to a listen on all interfaces. This will be the default supplied by the installer. But for now, just set it manually to be your box's IP addresses.
Ross McCOrmick
Apparently the linux command-line client requires python > 2.7.1. I have been able to make connections from an Ubuntu 12.04 machine with python 2.7.3 so far. Also, the command line client doesn't work unless called from within the python interpreter. There is no 'shebang' line in the script as provided.
I will update when I do a few more trials.
it does not require 2.7.
openopc is very happy with python 2.6 series. and there is no linux command line client. the issue here is your understanding of an interpreted programming language versus a scripting language.
python is interpreted programming - it looks like a script but runs like a program, without needing to be compiled. openopc is a library that makes opc communication possible across linux / windows / mac / any platform. you have to write an application to use that library and "make it do what you want it to".
Perhaps my use of the term 'command line client' is not truly appropriate as applied to the opc.py script in Linux. However, I was able to use opc.py quite successfully as a 'command line client' in OpenOPC version 1.1.6. All the commands listed in the command line client document performed as expected.
The only reason I needed to upgrade to OpenOPC 1.2.0 is the multiple network interface issue. Since upgrading my Windows XP OPC server to use the OpenOPC gateway service, I have had no success establishing a connection from the opc.py (also upgraded to 1.2.0) script on my Linux client PC.
As a test, I created a virtual machine with the same configuration as my Linux client, then started applying system upgrades until the opc.py script worked. My original linux client is an Ubuntu 11.04 server, which uses python 2.7.1. The upgrade than allowed opc.py to make the connection was up to Ubuntu 12.04, which includes python 2.7.3.
Since you say that OpenOPC is happy with pythin 2.6, perhaps there is some other requirement I am missing, and for which I have found no documentation. I am open to any suggestions or advice.
pyro… you need to have pyro installed on the client machine, regardless of whether it is windows or linux or max or whatever. what actual error do you get in 2.6 when it craps out ?
From my Ubuntu 11.04 client, with python 2.6.5, I use the command 'python opc.py -m open -H aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd -h aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd -q' where aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd is the IP of the Windows XP machine running the OPC server and OpenOPC Gateway Service.
I get the error 'Cannot connect to OpenOPC Gateway Service at aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd:7766 - incompatible protocol version'.
It works correctly when I use the same command from the Ubuntu 12.04 client, with python 2.7.3.
From other posts in this forum, I gather that Pyro is indeed the issue, but I have confirmed that the pyro package from the Ubuntu repository is installed. I even removed and reinstalled it to be sure. Apparently it is different from the later packages included in Ubuntu 12.04, or there is some other missing dependency.
try just this on your linux with python 2.6 client…
open up a linux terminal / command prompt and type as follows….
# cd /directory-where-you-extracted-openopc-to/src
# python
>>> import Pyro
>>> import OpenOPC
>>> opc = OpenOPC.open_client('ip-address-of-your-windows-box-running-gateway-service')
and let us know what error (if any) it kicks back…
>>> opc = OpenOPC.open_client('192.168.156.145')
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File "OpenOPC.py", line 129, in open_client
return server_obj.create_client()
File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/Pyro/core.py", line 384, in __call__

raise ProtocolError(msg)
Pyro.errors.ProtocolError: incompatible protocol version
ok - version of pyro running on your 2.6 python machine is too old for the version of pyro that the gateway was compiled against. so you don't need 2.7 python, you just need some newer version of pyro that'll run with the 2.6 python. you'll probably have to compile from source.
That's about what I had guessed. The non-working client uses Pyro v 3.9.7, the working client has Pryo 3.14. I hate to compile from source on a machine that uses debian packages, but I suppose I will have to. Do you know what version of Pyro was used for the gateway server?
'apt-get remove pyro' to rid the system of the outdated version.
'apt-get install python-pip' to install the python package manager.
'pip install pyro' to install the latest pyro (3.16), and now the opc.py script appears to work.
Thanks for the assistance.
no sweat, glad to help.

CFO notes in an article based on an interview with Ilya Strebulaev, an associate finance professor at the Stanford Graduate School of Business, that the next inevitable collapse of the financial system would be different from the events following the collapse of Lehman Brothers, it would have some similarities.
According to CFO, Strebulaev says because the system hasn't been strengthened enough by rule-makers in the wake of the Great Recession, it won't be able to withstand a cataclysm.
CFO said Strebulaev notes three basic sources of weakness which includes misguided bank corporate governance that has aligned the incentives of managers "such that they prefer to risk or to gamble."

MothToday I called her a moth.Moth5 years ago in Sketches More Like This
Nobody believed me when I said I didn't mean it as an insult. Moths are disgustingly beautiful animals that you see dead more often than alive. I remember when I thought that moth was just a dead butterfly, a special sound used for ripping the life out of something colorful and bright. The word itself is scornful and thick and comes from Middle English mot, meaning maggot. In Spanish, she would be polilla, which sounds like a dance, and in German, she is Nachtfalter, which is a dance.
I think everyone assumed I meant to insult her because it is true. She is dark and plain, and her hair is fuzzed all over. She smells dusty like our attic, but it is a pleasant smell, like remembering something you've forgotten.
And she would look best covered in leaves.

How to Make New Year's Resolutions That Actually Benefit You
It's That Time of Year.
This time of year, our thoughts turn to new beginnings in the New Year. If you are one of the about 50 percent of Americans who commit to a New Year's resolution, you might be currently brainstorming for your very own self-improvement project.
However, if we successfully achieved every single New Year's resolution, we wouldn't need to make them every year, would we? We'd have the perfect outlook on life, maintain our ideal weight and have money saved in the bank.
Alas, only 8 percent of people surveyed by the University of Scranton's Journal of Clinical Psychology reported success in achieving their resolution. In fact, 24 percent of respondents say they are never successful with their resolutions and fail every year. It can be demoralizing to fail and those setbacks could persuade us to stop setting goals altogether.
Instead of abandoning self-reflection and self-improvement, why not evaluate the types of goals we set? Are they unattainable from the start? Are we unrealistic? Here are some tips to help make New Year's resolutions that are beneficial and attainable. [Read more…]

The Very Best Holiday Treats
In a previous lifetime, when I was in radio, there was an expression:
"You can tell how successful a disc-jockey is by the size of the trailer attached to his car."
This was a reference to how often on-air personalities had to pack up and move, usually seeking larger markets or better opportunities.
Such is the saga as to how Humboldt County became my home.
Much like Harry Chapin's song, "W-O-L-D," I bounced around the western U.S., ending up as morning personality and music director at a classic rock station in Southern California, where I also published an industry newsletter. A newly hired consultant for a pair of radio stations among the redwoods followed my periodical and brought me up here. Initially, my strategy was to remain "a couple of years" and take family and trailer to San Francisco. If 31 years constitutes "a couple of years," I might still be on track. Elsewise, it looks like I'm here for the duration.
After leaving radio with a background in promotion, I earned my take as a marketing consultant (which I still do at times). Some of my clients were political campaigns.
Following so far? (There will be a test.)
Anyhoo, a dozen years ago, I was one cog in the wheel of a team that helped manage the successful campaign of a local official, who was since been re-elected twice, and is now retiring. We don't see each other very much these days. It's not that there's any animosity, quite the contrary; he's always very warm when we bump into each other. It's just, you know how life is, right? He's doing his thing and I do mine. However, recently his "team" personally reached out to me, extending a special invitation to his retirement soiree, basically saying, "You were there at the beginning. It would be great if you showed up." [Read more…]

Aaron Kahlow | September 30, 2010 | Comments
Marketers must remember that people use search engines differently than social networks.
At SES Hong Kong, I gave a presentation about trends on search and social media. We took a look at the buying cycle and how search and social fit in. An underlying theme centered on how and why people purchase and engage with brands online. What emerged was a big conversation about trust.
Let's start by re-examining how we buy things today. Global Web Index reported 85 percent of folks used search to research a potential product and 49 percent used search to find recommendations for a product. This is pretty much true for all purchases, whether they be consumer or business. We want a new car, we go to a search engine and look for information. We want to buy a new computer at work, we go online and do some research. We hope to find some folks that will give honest opinions about such. In this whole process, what get's forgotten by so many marketers is the need to establish trust.
For example, I recently was chatting to our own head of marketing about a new set of certification products we were launching and how we could give first movers a great discounted deal if bundled in with our annual Online Marketing Summit. One of the descriptors for such was "a deal of a lifetime." Although it probably was such a deal, the question was, do you really trust someone who tells you such a thing or do you throw them in the category of used car salesman? Take it one step further, when folks are searching for your product on Google, and they see either your organic result with descriptor or ad with ad copy, what do you think will be the most important factor to their click propensity outside of match of result? Yep, you got it…trust. Is this a brand I know and trust? Does this URL look, well, trustworthy? Is the copy factual or promotional? And on it goes. Oh, and don't forget, they go to a search engine or prominent destination like Expedia or Amazon because they trust the results.
I think the point is made. So, let's look at how social media plays into the mix. In social media, separate the conversation into onsite efforts (ratings, reviews, blogs) and offsite (Twitter, Facebook). It starts to get interesting here.
Let's look at research from Nielsen on what social sites folks trust: 9 percent trust Facebook recommendations, 3 percent LinkedIn, and 0.3 percent Twitter. Pretty low across the board. Because of the volume and anonymity of Twitter, trust is very low. Yes, even you guys who have 10 gazillion followers, the world does not trust you. Now, let's turn to the onsite social tactics like your blog, where 80 percent are more likely to purchase if they comment on it. More research from Nielsen says that 41 percent trust online product reviews, second only to friends and family and way above social media sites at 11 percent and news sources at 10 percent.
What does this tell us? If someone finds your product on a search engine where they are doing there research (not Facebook) and then finds some good recommendations about the product on your site, your chance to get a purchase increases tremendously.
Source: The Nielsen Company
Remember, folks go to search engines for research and they go to social sites for communicating. So, when looking to prioritize efforts, use each for its intended use and you'll find a much greater ROI (define), have an easier time setting priorities, and in the end drive greater trust, which leads to more sales.

I'm Flavio Martins and I'm a disciple of awesome customer service and freakishly interested in customer experience.
I'm not trying to change the world, just make a difference today.
Having risen in the ranks of the service experience world, I've experience day-to-day life in the call center for customer service and technical support. Along the way I've been fortunate to be part of some unique service teams with the ability to craft exceptional customer experiences.
With support from leaders willing to give young upstarts a chance to prove their service theories, I've seen customer service transform customer relationship and help create award-winning customer service teams.
Win The Customer is one of the most socially shared customer service experience blogs today and is often syndicated on CustomerThink, Business2Community, YahooBusiness, and other top customer service experience sites.
I have an undergraduate degree in Information Technology and a masters in Technology Management and Organizational Communications. My passion to this day remains crafting awesome customer experiences and leading operations teams to win the hearts and minds of customers.
Day-to-day I oversee operations, marketing, and customer service at DIgiCert, a global Certificate Authority, SSL Certificate and PKI security solutions service provider. I joined DigiCert as an early startup and have seen the fantastic growth that winning customer service can create in organization that invest in their customers.
I also speak and present at Customer Service and Customer Experience conferences and write for organizations developing content marketing as a strategic advantage.
The Customer Service Experience Blog
The Win The Customer blog began in 2011. I started the customer service blog because I felt like customer service and customer experience needed a greater voice online in order to help organizations realize the power that great service experiences has in winning customer loyalty.
As I collaborate with and learn from top service organizations, I share those insights in the form of easy to digest tips that any organization can implement in their strategic operations. The service blog is and always will be a free resource for any individual or organization wishing to make a difference for their customers through service.
The Win The Customer Book
In 2013 I was approach by Bob Nirkind, editor at AMACOM Books, to put the winning customer service tips you see here into a book. I immediately jumped at the chance to use this as an opportunity to help organizations transform their service approach and make a difference in their customer experience.
Having read dozens of customer service books, I've always felt that the genre has been missing an actionable, go-to-work type of inspirational manual that service leaders and service agents need to jump start their work day.
Win The Customer offers readers 70 simple rules to create sensational service experiences. The book is packed with insightful, practical guidelines that can anyone can adapt to their company's or customer's individual needs.
The Mantra: Customer Service is Not a Strategy, It's the New Reality.
We all want to be delighted, and we all hope organizations treat us with the respect we deserve as valuable customers.
Satisfaction is not enough, great customer service wins customer loyalty. Too many hours are wasted every year on customer service trainings about customer satisfaction. But just focusing on satisfaction is a waste of time. Customer loyalty is what counts.
The Awards
I'm grateful for the organizations that have recognized the importance of great customer service and experience. I've been honored to be listed among some of the best minds in the customer service and customer experience industry. A few of the top recognitions include:
