The Concordat to support the career development of researchers
The Concordat to Support the Career Development of Researchers was launched in 2008 by a range of organisations with an interest in the development of Higher Education research and researchers, a full list of organisations is available here. The Concordat outlines the seven principles that universities are expected to address in relation to the management of contract research staff, these principles are also outlined here. In the Concordat researchers are defined as individuals whose primary responsibility is to conduct research and who are employed for this purpose.
Queen's Response to the Concordat
A working group consisting of the Pro-Vice-Chancellor (Research and Postgraduates), Director of Human Resources and a range of other staff involved in the management and support of researchers conducted a gap analysis of Queen's provision for research staff alongside the Concordat Principles. The Queen's Researcher Career Development Booklet is an outcome of this analysis and represents one of the University's responses to the Concordat.
A further stage in the implementation of the Concordat was addressed through the drafting of a Concordat Implementation Action Plan in October 2011. This built on the work of the Concordat Working Group and has also been informed by the views of Queen's research staff gathered through the Careers in Research Online Survey (2009 and 2011). Further consultation was conducted in discussions at the Contract Research Staff Development Working Group, meetings with post-doc/research societies and others involved in the management of researchers. These groups have continued to be involved in the implementation on the Concordat at Queen's.
A copy of the Concordat Implementation Action Plan can be downloaded here.
Queens established the Concordat Implementation Review Group (CIRG) in January 2013 to co-ordinate, monitor and review the Concordat Implementation Action Plan. The membership of CIRG includes academic staff, researchers and professional support staff who bring expertise from their individual roles to the group. It is expected that the group will be able to influence issues in relation to the Concordat action plan and act collectively to monitor, recommend, develop and implement initiatives in the Institutional action plan.
European Commission's HR Excellence in Research Award
In implementing the Concordat Principles UK universities can demonstrate that they meet the requirements of the European Commission's Charter and Code on Management of Researchers. In so doing Queen's successfully applied for the European Commission's HR Excellence in Research award (January 2012), which recognises adherence to the Charter and Code.
Implementation of the Concordat by individual universities will be externally reviewed every four years by a national body. Universities holding the award are expected to conduct an internal review every two years, which should demonstrate progress to date and update the action plan based on developments in the University. Queen's has conducted this internal review and the progress report and updated action plan are available below.
-Updated Concordat Implementation Action Plan January 2014
Staff will be kept informed of progress on the implementation of the Concordat during 2014-16. Information will be available on this website and will be circulated via other methods.
Further information is available at the Concordat to support the Career Development of Researchers.
Concordat Implementation Review Group (CIRG)
Established in January 2013 the CIRG brings together staff from across the University with knowledge of and responsibility for the management and development of Queen's Research Staff. The group is responsible for co-ordinating and monitoring the implementation of the Concordat to support the career development or researchers by Queen's. The University's Concordat Implementation Plan forms the basis for the actions of this group. The CIRG terms of reference are listed below. In January 2012 the University successfully applied for the European Commission's HR Excellence in Research Award, with the Concordat Implementation Plan forming the basis of this application. CIRG has co-ordinated the 2-year internal review of the Concordat Implementation Plan (January 2014).
Membership includes academic, academic-support staff and importantly research staff. These research staff representatives are members of school-based research staff societies and forums. They provide a researcher perspective on the issues and how to progress the actions in the implementation plan.
A number of members of the CIRG are also SWAN champions within University schools. This has enabled the sharing of information on career development initiatives undertaken as part of the Queens Gender Initiative and the researcher development programme. Many of the best practice examples gathered by CIRG are based on initiatives which have a SWAN focus but have developed into resources available to all research staff.
In order to raise awareness about the Concordat and in preparation for the review of the HR Excellence in Research Award, members of CIRG meet with a range of staff across the University, e.g. Directors of Research and Research Staff Societies and Forums.
Terms of reference
- Monitoring the implementation of the Concordat Action Plan
- Conducting appropriate internal review relating to the European Commission's HR Excellence in Research Award
- Identifying good practice in relation to career and professional development of Research Staff at Queens and sharing this practice
- The group shall report to the Director of Human Resources and inform the Pro-VC for Research and Postgraduates and Director of Research & Enterprise on issues or developments affecting University Research Staff as they arise.
- The role of the group will be reviewed annually, as it is not a formal University committee.

Dallas Clark Doesn't Know What 'Who Dat' Is
PFT found a quote by Colts tight end Dallas Clark, basically saying he has no earthly idea what Who Dat means.
"I have no idea what it means," Clark said. "No reason to care. That's not a good thing I don't think. I sure that's a good thing for them so hopefully we don't hear it too much. I just don't know the story behind what that's about."
Look, we know it's not immediately obvious, but anyone with the slightest bit of natural curiosity (and access to a computer) should be able to figure it out.
Of course, 'Who Dat' has swept the nation lately and was even recently the subject of controversy when the NFL threatened business owners who carried 'Who Dat' merchandise with cease and desist letters (the Louisiana attorney general announced that there was an agreement reached by the league and these shop owners).
Who Dat is part of the Saints history and the term even has its own Wikipedia page. Who Dat is helping save animals in shelters. Who Dat has people planning their nuptials around Saints games. Who Dat is everywhere!!
So Mike Florio was right to admonish Clark for not knowing more about Who Dat.
As for me: I actually never really looked into the origins of Who Dat or realized it carried such lofty cultural significance. I just thought that's how people talked now.

A pool of viscous black liquid was discovered on Pennsylvania State Game Lands 219 in Warren Township, Bradford County. The substance was found less than two miles from a Talisman Energy natural gas well pad. / FILE PHOTO
TOWANDA -- The Georgia man accused in December of dumping Marcellus Shale gas industry sludge near a gas well site pleaded guilty Thursday in Bradford County Court.
"I dumped waste material on state game lands," said Josh Foster, 27, of Temple, Ga., as he pleaded guilty to a single count of second-degree misdemeanor criminal mischief in the Dec. 1 dumping in northeastern Bradford County.
Foster was accused of dumping about 800 gallons of black sludge on Regan Hill Road in Pennsylvania Game Land 219 in Warren Township.
Asked by the court judge to describe the waste material, Foster called it "non-hazardous frack mud." No follow-up questions were asked about the material.
Foster's description of the sludge doesn't match what the state Department of Environmental Protection found in its investigation of the dumping.
"'Frack mud' as described by the defendant does not exist," said Dan Spadoni, a DEP spokesman, after this newspaper contacted him about the plea.
"The material was sludge from oil-based drilling mud," Spadoni said. "It was generated from cleaning out tanks used to store the mud during the drilling process."
The material is regulated in Pennsylvania as residual waste, which is non-hazardous industrial waste, Spadoni said.
The sludge came from the nearby Strope gas well, which is run by Talisman Energy, but Foster was not a Talisman employee.
Michael Francis Todd Lathrop, a passenger in the truck Foster drove at the time of the dumping, protested, according to a criminal complaint.
"Lathrop stated that he told Foster that this wasn't right, but Foster dumped the product anyway," said Trooper John Kern, of state police in Towanda, in the complaint.
The sludge has since been properly cleaned up, Spadoni said. A DEP "enforcement action" is still pending in the case, he said.
Foster was charged with third-degree felony criminal mischief, second-degree misdemeanor criminal mischief, and third-degree misdemeanors of unlawful conduct and scattering rubbish.
Foster's plea to misdemeanor criminal mischief was in satisfaction of all charges against him.
Terms of the sentence were not part of the deal, leaving that decision to the court.
Foster faces up to two years in prison and a $5,000 fine when he is sentenced at 3:30 p.m. May 17 in Bradford County Court.

If you are not familiar with the Yamaha concept machine known as the Tesseract, take a quick second and run a search using your favorite Internet tool. Once located, you will see a four-wheeled motorcycle which looks as if it could transform into an arse-kicking robot or carry a comic book superhero to the rescue.
The engineer responsible for the design is the notable Luciano Marabese, who also brought the Piaggio MP3 (three-wheeled) scooter to the world and wild acclaim. The company which Marabese is now to run is a small Italian start-up to be known as Quadro Tecnologie. From such a mind as this man, it is not much of a surprise to hear that the first products emerging from this new concern will be something a bit different than the norm.
The first production machine will be the Quadro 3D, a three-wheeled scooter with a 350cc engine which will be very much like the MP3. In fact, the two bikes will be direct competitors. It will be priced at around €7000 (~US$9800) and will be available in April 2011.
The next model will be very new indeed; the Quadro 4D will have a 500cc single powering four wheels similar to the concept-only Yamaha Tesseract. Estimated price is €9000(~US$12,600) and should make it to the market near the end of 2011. Both machines will make use of Marabese's Hydraulic Tilting System (HTS), which works without electronic aid, thus reducing complexity and making maintenance simple. The 3D will use HTS on the front wheels and the 4D on both ends.
Given the extra hoops, traction on these machines will be impressive, braking distances will be short and the Quadro machines are certain to enjoy outstanding handling characteristics.
Marabese has had an impact on over 450 different design projects for marques such as Vespa, Piaggio, Moto Guzzi, Aprilia, Gilera, Triumph and Yamaha over the last few decades. During that work, Marabese often had to compromise on his work for the various entities paying for his ideas – not anymore.
Quadro Technologie will allow him to create scooters and motorcycles as he desires without anyone diluting the effect of his designs. Quadro customers will likely be the true beneficiaries of this direct connection between Marabese's ideas, design, engineering and production.
The Quadro plan is for the first two models, the 3D and 4D, to be out and on the roads by the end of 2011 and a full line of vehicles to be offered by 2014. Marabese will direct the creation of a series of vehicles to be based on these models – supersports, hybrids, electric and even off-road bikes and scooters are all possible in the next four years.
Of course, the Great Recession may have something to say about it, but the MP3 has been defying the odds for a while now. Quadro's offerings may be what the riding, and even driving, public have been waiting for…time will tell.

3. Trim off any excess seam you may have. You'll want to get about 1/4 inch from the stitches or a bit closer. Then flip right side out using a safety pin.
4. Put your finger in the tube taking one of the open edge inside the hole. Scrunching the fabric as you go. Pretty much you are folding the fabric in half with half of it inside then scrunching it.
5. Pull off finger while holding the scrunched fabric together.
6. With a needle and matching thread, sew the scrunched flower back to front several times to secure the flower in place. Make three of them.
7. Cut a felt piece the size to fit three rosetta flowers on the back. Glue them in place with glue gun.
8. Glue some beads in the middle or whatever other adornment you may have. If this is for children, you may want to sew the beads in place so it's more secured.

ON WINE: Buck the trends: bold, big is best
Old-school wisdom asserted rodeo begets beer belches and whiskey shots. Times change.
Today, rodeo and ranching people may spend as much time on their iPads as they do in a saddle, and they have a taste for wine, especially to add spark to a meal.
If sizzling steak is part of your rodeo revelry, the classic pair is a big red with plenty of tannins to cut through the fatty tastes in rib-eyes or T-bones or scraps or tenders. Cabernet sauvignon is the king of such pairings. Don't mosey over to such a meaty meal with a wussy wine, pilgrim; bold and big is best.
If Mexican food is your go-to rodeo repast, bust out of the chute with margaritas and chips, then pair — gasp — white zinfandel with your Tex-Mex entrees. The sweetness and lightness of white zin does quite well with the cacophony of Tex-Mex textures and flavors. You also are sure to gladden the palates of some of your comida compadres — white zin is the favorite wine for 10 percent of American wine drinkers. Sip, ignore supercilious wine snob snorts.
If you've gone all healthy on us because of a doctor's dehortation or you just want to see more rodeos than your belly-over-the-belt-buckle friends, consider sauvignon blanc with light fish, oaky chard with heavier fish, sauv Blanc or unoaked chard with salad.
If you are a lonesome cowboy aiming to lasso a smile (or more) from your lady love, Caprock Winery in Lubbock makes three that could please her mighty fine, saddle pal. Easy drinking, easy on the wallet, the bottles even come with charming, cowgirl-themed labels she'll likely love. Thank me after you stable the horse, kennel the dog and turn off the iPad.
Tastings (all generally available):
Caprock Winery Sweet Tempranillo 2011. Beaujolais-inspired carbonic maceration; raspberry, cherry, even banana in a soft, fruity chick wine. $15
Caprock Winery Toscana Rosso 2011. Sangiovese; coffee, vanilla, red fruit, cherry; tart, good tannins, could go with steak as cab alternative. $15
Caprock Winery Knuckle Bump 2011. Red blend, largely cabernet franc. Cherry, pepper, tobacco, chocolate, licorice; pair with salmon or seared tuna. $15

Nomadic peoples face enormous challenges these days. We've reported before on various efforts (from educational assistance to political organization to technologies like CyberShepherd and Networked Reindeer). Camillo Ponziani attended the recent gathering of representatives of pastoral nomads in Ethiopa, and reports back:
The drive to Turmi is rough and not for the faint-hearted. Our vehicles splashed through rivers and struggled along tracks that were no more than beaten paths, kicking up clouds of dust that blurred the view of the cropped brown grasses and acacia trees of Africas Rift Valley. Surrounded by a series of small valleys and breathtaking scenery, our camp was nothing more than a large collection of tents and makeshift showers nestled among a thicket of trees alongside a dry riverbed. Not exactly a palace for a five day meeting, but as one herdsman from Mali put it, "Pastoralists prefer the hotel of a thousand stars to a hotel of five stars."

November 28, 2015
WASHINGTON (AP) - The chairman of the Joints Chiefs of Staff is reiterating that the U.S. target date for withdrawing troops from Afghanistan is flexible and will take "conditions on the ground" into account.
Adm. Mike Mullen appeared Thursday on national morning news shows to answer questions about President Barack Obama's plan to send 30,000 more troops to Afghanistan and then begin removing them in 18 months.
The July 2011 target, Mullen told CBS' "Early Show," is when the U.S. will "start to transition security responsibilities to Afghan forces."
Mullen added that there has been "no determination of how long that will take."
He said Obama will begin troop withdrawals "responsibly, and it will be based on conditions on the ground."

From the Editor
Since its beginning in 1982, SRC has supported over 8,000 advanced degree students at universities around the world. And from its beginning, SRC has worked with the world's leading faculty in semiconductor research; these faculty naturally attract the world's most outstanding students. It follows that these students would one day become the world's leaders in the semiconductor industry and in university and government research. Twenty eight years later, that is exactly what has happened. At SRC, we know some very exciting things about the SRC student alumni (read on!). In more than 20 years working with SRC students, I have seen more students than I can count make more contributions to the good of society than even they ever dreamed possible; I like to think that SRC played a positive role in the development of these young men and women. The new SRC Alumni Association provides an opportunity for SRC members to better understand the enormous value to the industry that is manifested in the SRC student alumni and to be part of sharing that legacy. That is why we are posting this newsletter on the SRC website as well as distributing it to the members of the Alumni Association via e-mail. We hope you find it of value and would appreciate your feedback via e-mail to firstname.lastname@example.com. Ginny Wiggins, Manager, SRC Student Programs
Seeking the Missing
Of the over 8,000 SRC student alumni, SRC has current address information for about half. Please check out the list, sorted by university. If you know the current whereabouts of anyone on the list, please forward the SRC Alumni Newsletter to them and/or ask them to contact SRC at email@example.com.
Featured Profile
Elyse Rosenbaum graduated from the University of California/Berkeley in 1992. She was a student of Professor Chenming Hu and was among the first winners of the SRC Technical Excellence Award in 1991. Upon graduation, she joined the faculty at the University of Illinois/Urbana-Champaign and was awarded her first SRC contract in 1995. Since that time, Elyse has advised 16 PhD and 27 Master's students, including three SRC Fellows. The UIUC website, lists a number of honors and recognitions for Elyse including being named to the "List of Teachers Rated as Excellent by Their Students" four times. SRC asked Elyse what she considers to be her most important professional accomplishment and whether that ties back to her experience as an SRC student. This is her reply. "I am gratified that it's now considered reasonable and proper for a silicon foundry to provide models of their ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) protection devices, in no small part due to my group's work on modeling and simulation of on-chip ESD protection. However, my work training graduate students is truly my most important professional accomplishment. I believe SRC concurs with this, since SRC provides research funding and mentoring to ensure there is a continuing stream of research engineers ready to join the semiconductor industry. I am especially proud that my students have won best paper awards at the EOS/ESD Symposium and the International Reliability Physics Symposium (IRPS) for their work on SRC-supported projects."
Making a Difference
SRC student alumni are recognized for their contributions to industry and the global economy in many forums, including professional recognition and patents.
Dr. Alan Mantooth, a GRC researcher at the University of Arkansas and alumnus of the Graduate Fellowship Program, was recently featured in IEEE's online magazine, "The Institute". The article provides an overview of his research interests, especially his focus on cutting-edge green technology. Each summer he organizes Solar Splash, an intercollegiate solar-electric boating world championship, where students spend five days vying for points in categories such as technology, visual display, workmanship, and maneuverability, along with endurance and sprinting races.
Dr. Mantooth was awarded an SRC Graduate Fellowship for study at Georgia Tech in 1986 and received his PhD in 1990. He has continued to be funded by GRC and is currently working on a task, as part of the Texas Analog Center of Excellence (TxACE).
The work of FCRP Interconnect Focus Center (IFC) student Kevin Brenner (GA Tech) and IFC alum Raghunath Murali (GA Tech), now a research engineer at GA Tech, is featured in the EE Times article "Carbon Semiconductors Clear CMOS Hurdle."
The IEEE Circuits and Systems Society recently announced that Lawrence Pileggi of Carnegie Mellon University will receive the 2010 Mac Van Valkenburg Award for "seminal contributions to VLSI interconnect modeling, analysis, and optimization via model order reduction methods, and the dissemination of this work into the industrial community and engineering curriculum." The IEEE Circuits and Systems Society Mac Van Valkenburg Award honors an individual for outstanding technical contributions and distinguishable leadership in a field within the scope of CAS Society. The award is based on the quality and significance of contribution, and continuity of technical leadership.

2010 Simon Karecki Award
The Simon Karecki Award is presented each year at the SRC/SEMATECH Center for Environmentally Benign Semiconductor Manufacturing Review at the University of Arizona to encourage young researchers in the pursuit of environmental research. This award is presented annually in memory of former SRC Fellow Simon Karecki (MIT). The 2010 award was presented to Chi-cheng Chui, UT/Dallas, for his research on the effect of carbon-based nanomaterials on human health.
2010 Aristotle Award
Each year, SRC recognizes an SRC-funded faculty member for outstanding teaching through the research process with presentation of the Aristotle Award. The list of awardees is indeed impressive and includes SRC student alum Lawrence Pileggi (Carnegie Mellon), Carnegie Mellon, for the 2008 Aristotle Award. The many SRC students who have had the privilege of doing their PhD research with Professor Chenming Hu will not be surprised that he was presented with the 2009 Aristotle Award at TECHCON 2009. Aristotle nominations are solicited during the first quarter of each year and awards are primarily based on input from former students. A list of winners of this prestigious award and related award presentations are on the web. Presentation of the 2010 Aristotle Award will be at TECHCON 2010 in September.
What's New at SRC
New Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program:
Through the SRC Education Alliance, SRC has joined forces with Intel Foundation to fund the URO program at 14 universities across the US. In this first year, about 200 students are participating in the program that provides hands-on research experience for undergraduates and strong encouragement to continue to graduate school. Mentoring faculty include four former SRC students: Lynford Goddard (Stanford) and Lane Martin (UC/Berkeley) at UIUC, and Sayeef Salahuddin (Purdue) and Ali Javey (Stanford) at UC/Berkeley. Altogether, 22 SRC-funded faculty are participating in the URO program. We hope to see many SRC alums and current graduate students participating in the URO program as mentors to the undergrads.
SRC is collaborating with DOE lab under NINE:
SRC has joined forces with Sandia National Labs to launch the National Institute for Nanoengineering (NINE) program. This program is a government/university/industry collaboration and is hosted at Sandia. SRC student alum Justine Johannes (UT/Austin) played a key role in the creation of this program.
TxACE focuses on analog-mixed signal research:
SRC Global Research Collaboration (GRC) has launched a new center at the University of Texas/Dallas Professor Ken O as the Center Director and Eric Vogle as Associate Director. The Texas Analog Center of Excellence is a $16M joint venture between the State of Texas, the University of Texas System, Texas Instruments, and SRC Global Research Collaboration. Professors Ken O (MIT) and Eric Vogle (NCSU) are SRC student alums, as are 11 other faculty in this center including:
Focus Center Research Program expanded:
The Focus Center Research Program completed a re-competition late in 2009 and now comprises six virtual centers: Gigascale Systems Research Center (GSRC), centered at Princeton; Center for Circuit and System Solutions (C2S2), centered at Carnegie Mellon; Interconnect Focus Center (IFC), centered at GA Tech; Center for Materials, Structures and Devices (MSD), centered at MIT; Functional Engineered Nano Architectronics (FENA), centered at UCLA; and the newest center Multi-Scale Systems Center (MuSyC), centered at UC/Berkeley. Faculty researchers include 36 SRC student alums!
Looking Ahead
TECHCON 2010 will be held in Austin, TX, September 12 - 14 at the Renaissance Hotel. (How many of you remember your TECHCON presentations?) SRC is in the process of selecting 144 papers from student-submitted abstracts - it is going to be a great event! At TECHCON 2009, 37 of the presenting students were students of SRC alums and four were third generation, i.e., students of alums who were students of alums! We also counted about 40 alums among the industry attendees, and alum Frank Register (NCSU), now at UT/Austin, spoke at the New Frontiers Session. We're hoping to up those numbers for TECHCON 2010!

- Filed Under
For the first time in 12 years, the SEC's leading scorer was left off the coaches' All-SEC first team.
Ole Miss' Marshall Henderson, who averaged 19.7 points per game for the Rebels (23-8, 12-6 SEC), was not a part of the eight-member first team announced Tuesday, and will have to settle for second-team honors.
His teammate, Murphy Holloway, was also a member of the second team after averaging 14.6 points and a league-high 9.6 rebounds as a senior. Reginald Buckner was named to the All-SEC defensive team for the third time in his career; Buckner was second in the SEC in blocks (2.7) and sixth in ...

Chocolate Nut Patties
Tempering is the heating-and-cooling process that stabilizes chocolate, making it satiny and snappy when broken. Chocolate can only be tempered once; pour the leftover tempered chocolate from this recipe onto a baking pan to harden, then store and use as baking chocolate.
- Yield: Makes 30
Photography: VICTOR SCHRAGER
Source: Martha Stewart Living, November 1997
- 1 pound semisweet chocolate
- 3/4 cup assorted roasted and raw nuts, such as cashews, macadamias, pecans, walnuts, and hazelnuts, roughly chopped
To temper chocolate, cover a heating pad with a kitchen towel, and set pad to lowest setting. Line two baking pans with parchment paper, and set aside. Using a sharp knife, shave chocolate.
In a medium glass bowl, heat two-thirds of the chocolate in microwave at 30 percent power for 1 minute. Stir chocolate, and continue heating at 30 percent power in 10-second intervals until an instant-read thermometer registers 120 degrees. Remove from microwave.
Stir in remaining shaved chocolate with rubber spatula. Stir constantly, bringing chocolate up sides and back down into bowl until temperature reaches between 86 degrees.and 89 degrees. To determine if tempered, drizzle a thin line onto a cool stainless-steel surface. The chocolate should dry to a matte finish in about 5 minutes. Place bowl on covered heating pad; stir occasionally to maintain temperature between 86 degrees.and 89 degrees. adjusting setting if necessary.
Working quickly, pour 2 tablespoons of tempered chocolate onto prepared sheets to form 2-inch patties, spaced 2 inches apart. Let chocolate stand until it just begins to set. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon chopped nuts in each center; set aside in cool place to harden. Once completely set, transfer to an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 month.

WHEELING, W.Va. (AP) - A Wheeling man is charged with threatening to shoot up a federal building that was previously targeted by a gunman who was killed by police.
According to media reports, 43-year-old Charles Edwin Coffman is charged with threating to commit a terrorist act. The felony charge is punishable by up to three years in prison.
Wheeling police say a woman who was with Coffman on Wednesday told them that he said: "If everything keeps going like this, I am going to do what the cop did to the federal building, and I can get the guns."
Coffman was apparently referencing an October incident in which former police officer Thomas Piccard fired 26 shots into at the federal courthouse before being shot and killed by authorities.

WHEELING, W.Va. (AP) - Neighbors of a former police officer who fired at a federal courthouse in West Virginia before being killed say the man had recently revealed he had cancer.
Security remained tight at the courthouse in Wheeling on Thursday while investigators tried to find out why the man fired up to two dozen shots at the building before officers returned fire and killed him.
Wheeling Police Chief Shawn Schwertfeger identified the gunman as 55-year-old Thomas J. Piccard, of Bridgeport, Ohio. He was a former Wheeling police officer who left the force in 2000.
While investigators have yet to reveal a motive, trailer park residents Mahlon Shields and Lori LeMasters said Piccard had disclosed in the past few days that he had stomach cancer.

Josh Hamilton on what it's like to face David Price at Tropicana Field: 'It sucks'
ARLINGTON – As Detroit Tigers manager Jim Leyland often says, momentum in baseball is only as good as the next day's starting pitcher.
For the Rays in Game 3 on Monday, the man attempting to halt the Rangers' momentum is David Price. The 26-year-old lefty, who posted a 3.21 ERA and 0-1 record against the Rangers this season, has pitched exceptionally well against a Rangers outfielder that was drafted by Tampa Bay.
In his 13 times facing Josh Hamilton, Price has allowed only two hits. The Rangers center fielder was asked Saturday night about hitting against Price at Tropicana Field.
"In the dome, it sucks," Hamilton quickly responded. "I was messing with him at the All-Star Game and said, 'I hope we get to face you some time in Texas.' But you got to take it as it comes, just try to go over there and battle him. He's similar to Matt Moore (the Game 1 winner for the Rays), but Price throws a little heavier ball."
So, what's different about facing him in St. Petersburg?
"Who knows," Hamilton responded. "Everything happens for a reason. I'm not playing there anymore. But it's better than it used to be for me."
Hamilton, who the Rays selected with the first overall pick in 1999, has 10 hits in 58 plate appearances at Tropicana Field.

Serra Catholic soccer team's effort paying dividends
TribLIVE Sports Videos
There were high expectations all along for the Serra Catholic boys soccer team, and the Eagles have done their part to satisfy the challenge.
On Wednesday, when the WPIAL playoff brackets were announced, Serra Catholic (12-3-1) scored the highest showing among qualifying teams in the region, earning a No. 4 seed in Class A after winning the Section 1 title with a 9-0-1 mark, the lone blip a scoreless tie with South Allegheny on Sept. 21.
"It's so hard to win them all," Serra Catholic coach Don Sabol said, "but just as long as the effort and focus are there, that's all you can ask."
Serra Catholic, which opens the playoffs with a first-round game against Geibel (10-6-2) on Monday at Laurel Highlands, ended the season on an upswing by beating Section 2 champion South Allegheny, 3-0, in a rematch Oct. 8.
The Gladiators (11-5-2) open the playoffs against Vincentian Academy (13-2-3), also Monday, at South Fayette.
"We're happy with the draw we got," Sabol said. "We had high expectations coming into the season, but you don't want to be overconfident. Yes, the three losses we have were disappointing for us, but sometimes that can serve as a wake-up call."
Junior forward Tyler Grebur is a big reason for Serra Catholic's success, scoring 24 goals to become the school's all-time leader with 69.
In addition to Serra Catholic and South Allegheny, two other schools — Class AAA Norwin and class AA Yough — will send boys and girls teams into the playoffs, accounting for 8 of the 10 representatives from the region in the brackets.
The West Mifflin boys and the Elizabeth Forward girls round out the regional qualifiers.
Joining the Serra Catholic boys as section winners from the region are the Section 1-AAA Norwin boys, the Section 1-AA Yough girls and the Section 2-A South Allegheny girls.
The remainder of the schedule on Saturday finds Yough (8-8-1) entertaining Mt. Pleasant (11-5-1) in a Class AA boys preliminary-round game, with the winner advancing to a first-round game Monday at top-seeded West Allegheny (14-0-3), while in girls first-round games, Norwin (14-2-2) welcomes Canon-McMillan (12-3-3) in Class AAA, Elizabeth Forward (11-3-4) travels to Yough (14-4-0) in a Class AA, and South Allegheny (13-3-1) meets New Brighton (9-6-1) at Bethel Park.
Two other boys first-round games — Canon-McMillan (14-2-2) at Norwin (10-6-1) in Class AAA and West Mifflin (8-7-1) at Laurel Highlands (14-3-0) in Class AA — are set for Monday.
The Norwin girls team drew a disappointing No. 8 seed in Class AAA despite an impressive record and signature victories over second-seeded Peters Township, fifth-seeded Baldwin and seventh-seeded Penn-Trafford.
The Knights have been eliminated in the quarterfinals the past two seasons after playing in the championship game in 2010. They last won a WPIAL title in 1997.

Stiliyan Petrov: I'm lucky to be alive after leukaemia
Aston Villa captain Stiliyan Petrov says he is lucky to be alive as he continues his fight against leukaemia.
The Bulgarian was diagnosed in March 2012 but is now in remission after finishing his first year of treatment.
Petrov on Villa's season
"They've kept fighting and the last several weeks they've played with great confidence and have picked up a lot of important points.
"They have a manager [Petrov's former Celtic team-mate Paul Lambert] who I know very closely. He's a good friend as well and I know how important it is for his team to improve and to win as well. These are positive things.
"There are still a lot of games to come, a lot of points to be picked up, so there's nothing to worry about."
"I've had my hard moments but I've had good moments as well. I'm lucky because some people with this disease will die very quickly," said the 33-year-old.
"I'm glad that this hard year is behind me now and I can concentrate on getting back to my life."
Petrov, who joined Villa in 2006 having spent seven years with Celtic, was back at Villa's Bodymoor Heath training ground this week.
Recalling his emotions when he first learned of his condition, he told Aston Villa's website: "At the start I thought it was just a cold, nothing serious.
"When I was told the diagnosis, I was a little shocked but accepted it and just wanted to start the treatment straight away."
Following an intensive chemotherapy programme Petrov, who has made over 200 appearances for Villa in addition to more than 300 for Celtic, is now in remission.
"I have finished all of the high intensity treatment and from now on I'll be on the softer treatment, which is two years on tablets," he said. "It was a very, very long year but now, after all this treatment, I can go back to a normal life.
"The support from all the fans, the club, the players, has been amazing."
What is leukaemia?
Leukaemia affects certain blood cells, particularly the white cells, or leukocytes, which are part of the body's defence against infection and disease.
That support extends to the Villa fans applauding Petrov in the 19th minute of every match, in recognition of the midfielder's squad number at the club.
"The 19th minute has been just incredible," he said. "It's them showing their appreciation and their support.
"I don't know how I can thank the fans because it's been incredible. Sometimes I joke with friends when they text me saying, 'You've still got that applause in the 19th minute, when are they going to stop?!'"
Asked about his plans for the future he added: "First of all I'm going to spend some time with the family, show them that things are back to normal and feel a bit more comfortable. The kids especially have really missed me a lot and they're happy that I'm home.
"I'm hoping to open my foundation soon and I'm going to start raising money and awareness for leukaemia and different charities."

How Villa have missed him: respect must go out to their fans.
Petrov's battle for survival also shows us how fragile life really can be.
So live your life peeps, for death is always imminent.
It's unlikely that Petrov would say something dissimilar.

Lance Armstrong admits to what we all already knew. He cheated to win and in doing so lied to all of us who believed his miraculous recovery and rise to sports immortality. Unfortunately he didn't say he was sorry.
Weekends are very important. In those short two days we need to rest, recharge and still live our lives cramming in all of those experiences we don't have time for during the week. We don't watch Lance anymore but did spend many a summer weekend marveling at his ability to climb. Seems like everyone cheats in that sport so I guess he felt justified. I just feel cheated.
This weekend is a short one. My plane to Asia leaves on Saturday at 3:30pm so I have only tonight and tomorrow morning to have a weekend. I'm thinking I should have a good game plan to get the most out of my time. I know a haircut is required but other than that I'm pretty open. I will have enough time to exercise and pack in the morning and hopefully spend time on D1's resume with her. That leaves tonight as my slot for fun. I'm thinking dinner out with Mary and maybe watching some college hockey.
It's going to be a long week but I have been preparing for it all this week (See Monday's post) so for today and tomorrow I don't need to stress at all. It's Friday ladies and gentlemen and they can't get you on Friday. They will try but on Friday we are bulletproof.
I think I will start my short weekend a bit early today.
And that makes me happy.

All about the hard side of rock and roll
They say you can't make no money
Ooh unless you're the Rolling Stones
That put a chip on my shoulder
Gave me a fire in my blood
Children of the earth*
Listen what I say
You made rock and roll
What it is today
And no two-bit Fascists
Gonna shoot us down
So come on, children
Bring your guns (bring your guns) to town
Shoot 'em down
We can rock and roll all night long
And I wanna see you out there feelin' strong
And I wanna give you ooh the shots you need
I'll be your doctor, you just call on me
Call on me, baby, baby
Call on me, call on me, baby
Keep on rockin', keep on rockin'**
Keep on, rock and roll gonna never die

Spotlight on London: Hackney
My best friend has been raving for weeks about Hackney's Broadway Market and after our delicious Mildred's date last night, I promised her that I would spend this morning perusing the area. I invited two friends from Belsize Park to join in the festivities and we headed over by mid-morning. While Hackney isn't that far from Belsize Park (if you were to measure straight distance), it's quite a ways away with public transport. After a tube ride to Angel Station and a 20 minute bus ride (the #394 will get you there), we arrived right at the end of the market.
While the market isn't huge, it is darling. It's a great mix of eclectic bits and delicious food. Cheese, olives, sandwiches and Persian cuisine were nestled between stalls selling doggie sweaters, winter clothes, jewelry and art. If the weather had been just a touch nicer, I could have easily spent a couple of hours wandering around aimlessly. If you're planning on visiting, note that it's open on Saturdays from 9A – 5P. It's definitely a great place to hit up during lunch time — you can grab delicious nibbles while scouring the street for antiques! (Nearest Tube: Bethnal Green).
After checking out the market (and not succumbing to our cheesecake cravings), we wandered down Hackney Road to Hackney City Farm (per my friend's suggestion). While I wasn't quite sure what to expect, free entry made it hard to resist. Surprisingly, I thought it was one of the coolest parts of the entire excursion! There's something paradoxical about having a little farm in the middle of London, but it works. There were kiddos running around, playing with the chickens and watching the pigs nap in the sun. The farm also has a cafe on site (Frizzante) which looks deliciously simple, though we didn't get to pop in.
After our jaunt in Hackney, we wandered around and grabbed the tube at Old Street station back to Belsize Park. It was definitely a perfect way to spend a morning and I'm beyond happy that I finally got to see another side of London. A bit less pristine and put-together – a bit more raw. Hitting up Broadway Market made me realize that there's another market in town that I've missed out on: Portobello Market! I've got to put that on my agenda for next time around!
We also came across an amazing exhibition by Nick Allen, which coordinated with his book launch. More on that tomorrow, but a mini summary: powerful artwork and an incredible book highlight his three years in Afghanistan traveling with the troops. His pictures are amazing. Check back tomorrow for more!

Bowden threatens to bulldoze St Boniface
Posted: October 09, 2012|
Plymouth Devils' chairman Mike Bowden has threatened to bulldoze St Boniface Arena over rumours his speedway licence has been revoked.
Supporters' online forums allege that Bowden's licence was revoked either during or after a meeting of the British Speedway Promoters' Association last Tuesday.
Association members were meeting to discuss their plans for their annual meeting, scheduled for next month.
Chairman Alex Harkness has made it clear that the pre-annual meeting did not have the authority to revoke anyone's licence.
A four-man consortium is in the middle of negotiations to buy the Premier League outfit, who are based at St Boniface Arena, Marsh Mills.
Bowden said: "Allegations that my licence has been revoked are totally untrue, whatever people on these forums think.
"There have been allegations made against me and my family which are spiteful and, I believe, libellous. These comments are damaging my business by suggesting my licence has been revoked.
"I have to say that if these sort of people continue to offend me and make remarks which are untrue, I will bulldoze the circuit and see how they like that. I am serious – I am sick of all these comments being made."
Swindon Robins reached the Elite League play-off final with a 38-point aggregate victory over Birmingham Brummies.
The Robins won the second leg 55-37 at Abbey Stadium after gaining a 20-point lead from the first leg at Perry Bar.
The Robins made a lightning start in the home leg last Thursday to move 12 clear after four races. Further 5-1 wins in heats nine and ten secured their progression, before they sealed an emphatic 110-72 aggregate victory.
Reserve Simon Stead put his recent form behind him to star with a confidence-boosting 12-point maximum.
Perry Bar: Brummies: Smolinski 9+3, Barker 9, Ulamek 7, Pedersen 5, King 3, Auty 2+1, Covatti 0.
Robins: Kildemand 14+1, Batchelor 13+1, Doyle 9+1, Andersen 8+1, North 5+1, Morris 5, Stead 1+1.
Blunsdon: Robins: Stead 12, Batchelor 10+2, Kildemand 9, Morris 8+3, Andersen 7+1, Doyle 5+1, Lampart 4.
Brummies: Ulamek 15, King 6, Barker 6, Smolinski 4+2, Auty 4, Covatti 2, rider replacement (Pedersen).
Somerset Rebels saw their home Premier League play-off meeting against Leicester Lions postponed on Friday evening. It has been rescheduled for this Friday. The away leg will be ridden the following evening.

OAK RIDGE, Tenn.,
March 4, 1997
Researchers at the Department of Energy's (DOE) Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) have worked with Thompson Aluminum Casting Company (TAC) of Cleveland, Ohio, as part of a cooperative research and development agreement (CRADA) to optimize a process to produce a sounder and more failure-resistant aluminum component.
The project, funded by the Heavy Vehicle Technology program in DOE's Office of Transportation Technology, is aimed at enabling the wider use of lightweight materials in the transportation sector to reduce energy consumption in the form of fuel. It allows for the construction of a stronger engine mount in vehicles.
The fact that a cast aluminum part can have defects in the form of small cavities so concerned TAC that the company sought to develop a process called metal compression forming, a variant of the squeeze casting process, that could produce parts with fewer cavities reliably and consistently. In order to optimize the process to produce commercial components and to meet the cost and performance specifications of the transportation industry, Thompson teamed with ORNL researchers to take advantage of the computer modeling and simulation expertise not available in-house. The result of this unique collaboration is a metal forming process that not only produces a more consistent and sound aluminum part, but one that is more resistant to cracking that can be caused by service stress.
In some applications, aluminum components produced by this process will replace cast iron or steel components resulting in a substantial weight savings per vehicle. In other cases, substitution for more costly forged aluminum parts will provide an economic incentive for increased use of aluminum components.
"This development will enable parts suppliers to provide lower cost, lighter weight components to vehicle manufacturers, thereby improving the fuel economy of trucks and cars and reducing U.S. dependence on imported fuels," said James Eberhardt, director of DOE's Office of Heavy Vehicle Technologies. "The results of this project are an excellent example of what can be accomplished by such industry/government partnerships, each doing what it does best to achieve the project's goals."
The CRADA team headed by Srinath Viswanathan, a researcher in the Materials Processing Group of ORNL's Metals and Ceramics Division, used computer models of the casting process to find ways of pouring aluminum into the mold more smoothly and with fewer impurities.
"In this process, the metal flows slowly and the mold is not being filled at high pressure that often causes turbulence in the liquid metal, thus trapping gases and creating undesirable cavities in the final part," Viswanathan said. "In addition, the metal compression forming process uniquely allows for uniform pressure to be applied over the entire part, virtually squeezing out porosity that would normally be present."
In addition to developing the process for aluminum alloys, TAC and ORNL researchers, with continuing DOE funding, will be working to apply the process to a metal matrix composite alloy that would produce a stiffer component for other critical applications. Continued characterization and optimization of the process is expected to lead to much wider industrial application of the process in many non-transportation-related sectors.
This presents another often overlooked advantage of such research and development - a new material or process developed for one focused application that is found to possess more general applicability, thus expanding the usefulness and ultimate value of the original research project.
ORNL, one of DOE's multiprogram national research and development facilities, is managed by Lockheed Martin Energy Research Corp.

It's a shame really, but I agree. Despite Google announcing they would get latency down to acceptable timings in Jelly Bean, I haven't seen much proof of it happening, and even if that would happen in the near future, it will take a bit for developers to really move to android. Most of them have been scared off by bad experiences in the past.
One has to mention another thing though, Apple may be the most controlling of the bunch (and I am a big enemy of such a market strategy) but let's be frank, Google is not really the "light side of the force" either. We're talking about two multinationa corporations that in the end don't give a shit about people and just invest money to make more money... so in the end it's just up to the us to use what they make and don't let ourseves become slaves of their stupid business models. So it's all about using the one that works best...

For me the compelled to get audio routing as that is no supported on the iPhone 4. Android pads are good and coming along nice to have around for Netflix and Angry Bird play. Mix tiki in android is great too.
Looking forward to windows tablets.
Hopefully USB 2 connector on new iPhone will mean easier access to the phone and or midi. Lots of news today also that the new phone is a custom arm chip and 1 gig of memory.
Besides I need that extra row of icons on the 5 to keep all my music apps on two pages. Now that palm sounds is up again I seem to be buying more apps again.

I have the 4s and upgrade every 2 years when my contract with ATT expires so my next iPhone will probably be the 6s. So to ease the pain of not being able to buy the greatest and latest iPhone .... I'm going to get the Nexus 7 and get all the books and movies off my iPad and free up space.

IncongruousSeptember 11, 2014 on 12:00 pm | In Driving in LA | Comments Off
While stuck in traffic this morning, I noticed a guy in the next lane with his long hair done up in a bun and braided chin hair. This is normal for L.A., but he was driving a grey Audi station wagon!
Later, there was a dragonfly in the next lane. I hope he figured out that he didn't need to wait in the traffic…

I passed a car on the freeway that had absolutely no shocks. The rear of the car was bouncing with an amplitude of several feet. I saw the driver bouncing up and down inside, too!
TailgatingJanuary 12, 2009 on 9:59 am | In Driving in LA | No Comments
Today on the way to work, a guy tailgated me so close that I swear I could have counted his eyebrow hairs if I hadn't been wearing sunglasses. When I was ready to get off the freeway, I decided to annoy him first, so I started blinking to move out of the fast lane and then slowed down before moving over. I could tell from his hand gestures (not the finger, to his credit) that I got through. After I moved over and he passed me, I noticed that the front of his car was smashed up. Note that I could not see this while he was behind me! He must be a slow learner…

Highway RobberyJuly 22, 2008 on 9:30 am | In Car, Crazy ideas, Driving in LA | No Comments
Forget rising gas prices. The real crime, at least here in Los Angeles, is that millions of drivers are being forced to pay for expensive, sophisticated electronics in their cars that they never use! What are they being scammed into buying, you ask? The turn signal.
Annoying DriversFebruary 10, 2008 on 9:01 pm | In Car, Crazy ideas, Driving in LA | No Comments
Have you ever wished you could tell the jerk behind you how you really feel about his tailgating, complete lack of courtesy, etc.? You can, with this 10″x2″ LED Scrolling Message Sign. It mounts on your rear window, plugs into the cigarette lighter, and has a remote control so you can easily choose which message to display.
I originally started thinking about it after the person in the other lank honked at me for not skipping my turn at a 2-to-1 lane merge point created by a road construction crew. After seriously considering starting a company to manufacture such a sign, I figured somebody else probably had already done so Understandably, but still sadly, the sign I found has a naughty word filter, so it's useless in Los Angeles!
SquirrelsJune 6, 2006 on 9:22 am | In Driving in LA | No Comments
I was driving to work this morning when a squirrel ran out in front of me. At first, I didn't slow down because it was so far ahead, but then it decided to stop right in front of me! I slammed on the brakes, which promptly locked up, but at least I managed to stop with a couple of inches to spare. Then, to add insult to injury, the squirrel ran back where it came from! What is it about paved roads that makes squirrels stop half way across??
Left Turn PocketsJune 6, 2006 on 9:15 am | In Driving in LA | No Comments
Not too long ago, I had just passed the bend from Lankershim onto Cahuenga and was heading toward the first stoplight when a car going the opposite direction turned into my lane at the intersection. Luckily, I was far enough away to be able to stop quite easily. He just sat there, and I think he even honked at me. Apparently, he seriously believed that he was in a left turn pocket and that I was in the wrong lane! What part of "double yellow line" did he not understand?

Cyber crime suspect Roman Seleznev has access to proper medical care while being detained on Guam, a U.S. official said, but he's not being moved from jail to a hospital, as Russian government representatives have requested.
"We are not aware of the necessity for him to be in a medical facility," said Don Hall, spokesman for the U.S. Marshals Service on Guam and the Marianas.
The Marshals Service has custody of the 30-year-old Seleznev, who was arrested on Guam on July 6 after the U.S. Secret Service escorted him here from the Maldives. ...

The objective of this program is to prepare exceptionally qualified individuals for research careers in academia and industry. The program is designed for students who offer evidence of exceptional scholastic ability, intellectual creativity, and research motivation.
The Ph.D. degree is viewed as a certification by the faculty that the student has a solid foundation in computer science and has performed original research in the area. The basis for gaining the degree will be the student's grasp of the subject matter of computer science, competency to plan and conduct research, and ability to express ideas adequately and professionally in oral and written language. Although only four courses are required, the doctoral program usually requires two to four years beyond the M.S. degree.
The doctoral program emphasizes research, and the School encourages prospective candidates to involve themselves in research under the supervision of a faculty member at the earliest possible opportunity. In addition to research activities in various areas of computer science, there are many opportunities for interdisciplinary and interdepartmental research.
Selection of the research advisor is by mutual consent of the Ph.D. student and the advisor. The advisor, who must be a full-time tenure track member of the School of Computing faculty, should be selected before the portfolio, which is required for the comprehensive examination, is presented to the faculty. The Ph.D. student should carefully select the research advisor on the basis of technical and personal compatibility. Either the student or the advisor may terminate the advisee/advisor relationship in the event that research interests change or the advisor and student later find themselves incompatible.
The Ph.D. advisory committee will assist the student in formulating an appropriate program of study, must approve this program of study, must approve the dissertation proposal, and conducts the dissertation defense. The research advisor serves as chair of the student's advisory committee, and the student, in consultation with the research advisor and in accordance with Graduate School requirements, must select at least two additional faculty members to serve on the advisory committee. One of these members may be selected from outside the School of Computing. One additional member of the committee will be appointed jointly by the School Director and the Director of Graduate Affairs. The complete advisory committee must be approved by the School Director and the Director of Graduate Affairs when the students submits the GS-2 form containing the full program of study.
Ph.D. students must satisfy requirements in three areas:

Review for the song "I Will Follow God's Plan"
Print and cut out the Plan of Salvation pictures. Put a magnet on the back of each picture.
Tell the children they are going to be reviewing the song "I Will Follow God's Plan". Before doing the activity, review the words by showing the children the flip chart pictures from last week. See if they can remember the words that go with each picture.
Sing the song after they have reviewed the words, but explain that as they sing the song, a volunteer is going to try to put the Plan of Salvation pictures on the board in the correct order. Remind them that the song is about the Plan of Salvation. Choose a volunteer. (Before doing this activity with the Junior Primary, show them the pictures in random order and tell them what each one represents.)
After the children sing the song, check the order of the pictures. If they are not correct, commend the child on their effort, take off all the pictures, mix them up, and have another volunteer try and put them in the correct order while the children sing the song again. Once the pictures are in the correct order, tell the children that you are going to make the activity a little more difficult. Take the pictures off the board, and take one out of the pile. Conceal what picture it is.
As the children sing the song again, have a volunteer put the pictures on the board in the correct order and then tell you what part of the plan is missing. (This last part was inspired by the activity in the Friend this month for the song. Thanks Friend magazine!) If this is too easy for the older children, take out more than one picture each time you do the activity. Continue in this manner until you feel like they have the song (and the plan of salvation) completely memorized. Be sure to review any words they might be having difficulty with each time they sing the song.
By the way, I'm sorry about the the mistake in last weeks posting. I accidently put personal feelings about why a third of the hosts of heaven wanted to take agency out of the plan. I've changed it on the posting. I will try to be more careful in the future, but I may still make mistakes. If you see a mistake, please send me a message or an email so I can get it changed right away. Thanks.

This is the last print issue of 2012 and, as is tradition, we reveal the Mobilizer Award winners. (Page 9) From Mobilizing Business Applications, Enterprise Wide Mobility, Field Service and Mobile Device Management to the Most Innovative Use of Mobility, it takes a lot to be recognized by your peers. Congratulations to the winners! All submissions were considered and thoroughly reviewed by the Mobile Enterprise Editorial Advisory Board and we thank them for their time.
In a conversation with one of the winners, he pointed out that beyond the business case that drove the winning deployment, once his company started to look across the business with a mobile perspective, many new opportunities became clear. You will hear more about this during the opening session on day two of the Mobile Enterprise Executive Summit (Nov. 6-9).
As is also tradition this month, we partner with Yankee Group for the "Outlook on Mobility" (page MO1) report where we take a look at key moments from last year and a look ahead to 2013.
We welcome Chris Marsh, who authored this report for the first time, to our Editorial Advisory Board. This information will also be reviewed live at the Summit and during a webinar on Nov. 13. That event features Yankee Group senior analyst Rich Karpinski and a panel of speakers from Kimberly-Clark Corp., University Hospital and First Solar, Inc.
In the report, Chris mentions that in 2013 companies will move towards EMM (enterprise mobile management), representing an end-to-end strategy, rather than one off deployments when it comes to mobile initiatives.
We also heard a lot about this idea at MobileCon last month. Many in the industry use EMM, while others are reclaiming MEM for mobile enterprise management.
However, the big question is, no matter what you call it: Is your company on the path to EMM? Will you be approaching mobility holistically? Or are you working on one piece at a time? (MDM, MAM, the other MEM, etc.)
Email me at email@example.com and tell me what you think. I'll review the responses (without naming names) in my next note. Have a great holiday season!
