Germany has been playing it safe for decades, who knew that a global financial crisis would make years of boring stability the hottest ticket in town – one of them anyway.
The German economy is the biggest, strongest and most stable economy in Europe, not because the rest of Europe is falling apart, but because of years of low spending and strong exports. In fact, while Germany is the 4th largest economy in the world (by nominal GDP) it is the third largest export nation in the world according to the CIA – arguably the second given that the EU is currently holding that spot and isn't a country, not to mention the fact that without German exports the EU would be nowhere near that high.
Looking at German economic growth recently won't leave you all hot and bothered, although growth has been constant and steady, it has rarely been scintillating in the last few years. What you will notice however is that growth was much stronger in the 2 years following the crash, than it was before the it and you can't say that about many places. Looking at growth between 2000 and 2008 you have 3.1% in 2000, 1.1% in 01, flat in 02, -0.4% in 03, 1.2% in 04, 0.7% in 05, 3.7% and 3.3% in 06 and 07 and 1.1% in 08. In 2009 the financial crisis brought a 5.1% contraction in German GDP, but in 2010 it bounced back with growth of 4.2% far stronger than the years running up to the crash, and this was followed by a 3% growth in 2011. However, growth is thought to have slowed last year to just under 1%, but if one knows Germany this will mark a return to the slow steady, but ever-continuous growth.
It is that reliable if-boring growth record that has seen German property some of the most popular in the world since the financial crisis, along with the strong fundamentals of the property market itself of course.
More people rent their homes in Germany than in most of the developed world. Indeed 60-70 per cent of Berliners rent their homes and other cities are not much better. Because of this the government regulates rent growth in the market, allowing rents to grow only when wages are growing. This indirectly regulates price growth in the market. The rental demand has always made buy to let investment look appealing, but sluggish price and rent growth was a turn-off. No one knew then that by keeping Germany from experiencing the hyper-inflation seen in so many countries in the run up to and which caused the crash, the regulation was actually a good thing. No boom meant no bust and the German property market carried on impervious to the economic shock.
So, when investors began getting back out there they realised that, not only had German prices not fallen but the market had continued the steady if far-from scintillating growth that comes from constant rental demand in a strong and stable economy. As Germany became known as a safe haven for investment and the economy started to grow strongly in 2010, the return of wage growth meant that rents could go up and so too prices began to grow in response to rising rents. This made German buy to let even more appealing, because it offered safety, stability and for the first time real growth opportunities. It is ironic that the boom people had been predicting in the German property market for almost 3 decades should come after the worst global financial crash mankind has ever seen.
Even into last year, despite the economic slowdown, residential property in Germany remained extremely popular with investors, with institutional investors buying not by the building-load, but in packages of entire buildings appetite was so high. Rents have grown faster than prices and this has pushed up buy to let yields, which increase even further at the discounted rates of such bulk purchases.

Wat Thmei
A sobering reminder
What we say:
Wat Thmei pagoda, located on one of the roads leading to Angkor Wat, is worth pausing at particularly if you won't be visiting Phnom Penh. Here at this active monastery you can understand more about Cambodia's tragic history since this now relatively built up area of town was formerly a site of killing fields in Siem Reap during the Khmer Rouge era.
The term 'killing fields' is often associated solely with Choeung Ek killing fields in Phnom Penh, but in fact these areas were located across Cambodia. It's a sobering experience, and if you don't have time for the capital in your itinerary then Wat Thmei it will help your understanding of the gravity of the country's horrific recent past.
While there is nothing of great size to see here – the open grounds contain a large prayer hall on the left as you enter, stupas, and everything you'd expect of a typical modern pagoda – in the middle rests a single glass-sided monument filled with the skulls and bones of victims collected by locals after the Pol Pot regime ended.
Along with this haunting memorial there are also a couple of photo boards with images of just some of those who lost their lives. Without a guide you will likely not need much time to visit Wat Thmei, other than that with which to reflect, so it would be well worth doing some reading before visiting if you are not yet much informed on the history.
S-21 (Tuol Sleng Prison) and Choeung Ek are the historically important sites in Phnom Penh that will likely impart more information than Wat Thmei, since the latter in the capital now has a particularly informative audio guide. Nonetheless, Wat Thmei's memorial will still leave an impression and despite the tour buses that stop here, it serves as a place where you can find a quiet moment to reflect and pay respect.
Wat Thmei is free to enter and there is also a small shop in the grounds. It takes around 15 minutes to reach the pagoda from the centre of Siem Reap by tuk tuk and is en route to the temples, so can easily be included at the beginning or end of a day's touring.

Validation of FMNL2 antibody. a) Western blot analysis of FMNL2 protein in seven human cell lines. A single band, of approximately 140 kDa, is detected in five cell lines. b) Western blot analysis with FMNL2 antibody competed either with GST-FMNL2 fusion protein or GST. Competition with GST-FMNL2 but not GST results in disappearance of the 140 kDa FMNL2 band. c) Western blot analysis of WM164 and MKN-1 cells transfected with FMNL2-specific siRNA, non-targeting (nt) siRNA or without siRNA (control). FMNL2 siRNA markedly reduces FMNL2 reactivity in both cell types. The α-tubulin blot confirms equal protein loading. d) Northern blot analysis of FMNL2 mRNA in six human cell lines. A 5.6 kb band is seen in all five cell lines, in which the Western blot analysis detects the protein band.

I'd like to invite more nostalgic japanese cars to the inaugural Concours d'LeMons at Toro Park in Monterey, CA on Aug 15, 2009. The show is chance for those with cars that dont fit into any other shows during the Pebble Beach Week to have a place to show off their cars in front one of the largest groups of auto enthusiast in the world.
The show is somewhat light hearted and pokes a little fun at the Pebble Beach crowd. It will be a fun afternoon with lots of cool cars on display. The Pinto owners club is bringing out some very rare cars, as is the AMC owners club.
We will have the #1 and #2 oldest Toyota's in the US on display, and I would like to have a large nostalgic japanese car presence to accompany them.
Cars do not have to be restored. As long as you are ready to have fun with your car, you can enter the show

Meet the downside of the smugness echo chamber: It doesn't work. Only a select number of people can fit in with the in-crowd.
In 2008, Obama managed to be cool and energize the electorate. In 2010, after months belittling the pinhead tea party people, his brainy base voters are too precious to pump votes from red-state oafs.
As for the oafs, they know they'll never be good enough for Comedy Central -- where smart swells like Colbert want to ruin everything with their, uh, reasonableness.

Asheville Christian Academy senior Kelly Barnett leads the team in scoring, steals and assists.
- Filed Under
Kelly Barnett has been a starter in some capacity for the past five years at Asheville Christian Academy. But never like this. The Lions girls (7-1, 0-1) count on their point guard for a lot. And Barnett has answered the call with team-high averages for scoring (15.4 points a game), steals (9.4) and assists (5.6). "I've definitely tried to step it up," Barnett. "I feel like I have to as a point guard. I have just watched past captains here and tried to learn from them. I knew this time would come and that I would have to do this."

The Monroe City Council wants a more vibrant downtown. That goal served as one of the reasons why it voted to reconfigure S. Monroe St. between Third St. and Elm Ave., reducing traffic from five lanes to three lanes. The measure passed 4-3; Monroe Mayor Robert E. Clark and Councilmen Jeff Hensley and Jeremy Molenda voted against the reconfiguration.
"At the beginning of the year, we voiced opinions about a more vibrant downtown," Councilwoman Gloria Rafko said. "If we are going to do that, we have to let (residents) know we are going to do it."
She believes the change will help bring more people to downtown.
Clerk-treasurer Michelle LaVoy read a letter from Janet Berns, Downtown Development Authority chairman and owner of the Book Nook who could not attend the meeting.
"Change is hard, but it's a return to our earlier history in downtown," Mrs. Berns said in the letter. "I dream of a downtown that is safe."
She continued by saying Monroe is "in a great position to make downtown better than ever."
Colleen Hill-Stramsack of Hubbell, Roth and Clark, a professional engineering firm, spoke to the council about the results of a traffic study approved by the council in March.
" The goal is to add on- street parking," she explained. " Within the current footprint of the roadway, it just doesn't fit in the current roadway."
The city and engineering firm have talked with the Michigan Department of Transportation in regard to the lane reconfiguration.
Mrs. Hill- Stramsack said she was "a bit nervous" looking at the daily traffic totals in the corridor. After the analysis, she said the peak hours along Monroe St. is 7 to 9 a.m., 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. and 4 to 6 p.m.
"In a typical urban area, peak hours are 10 percent of the daily traffic," she said. "At Monroe St., it was 8 percent, which means it is less congested all at once."
The study recommended the three lanes of traffic with one lane in each direction, modified signal timing and a side-by-side turning lane between Front and First Sts.
In regard to crashes, Mrs. Hill- Stramsack said, using the highway safety manual, there is "no measureable change" between five and the three lanes.
Councilman John Iacoangeli said there is no regard for shoppers and walkers in the downtown area. He said he's heard from people complaining that it will impede traffic and add to the congestion.
"If I read the study right, it will add 13 seconds in wait time," Mr. Iacoangeli said. "My position is, for 13 seconds, I'll take the lane configuration, pedestrian safety and more people downtown."
Engineers are looking to make communities more walkable since fewer people are driving, Mr. Iacoangeli said.
"People are finding out it's okay to walk," he said. "It's time to turn the character of community back to the viable community we had."
Monroe resident Cheri Weakley told the council she is in favor of the reconfiguration.
" I would like to slow traffic down. I love crossing three lanes now," she said. "I'm in favor of three lanes just to slow things down and make it a nicer city."
Twenty parking spaces will be added, but it was not the additional parking that was the catalyst for the change. Instead, it is meant to slow traffic and improve the safety in downtown, Mr. Iacoangeli said.
"I think it's a good idea to give it a try and see what we can do to bring more pedestrians and shoppers into the downtown area," Councilwoman Kellie Vining said. " I think it's worth a try."
Not everyone was in favor of the lane reconfiguration. Councilman Hensley said while he supports the downtown, he doesn't see how the change will make the community more walkable.
" Traffic is backed up constantly," Mr. Hensley said. "I think the confusion is going to create hazards when you go to two lanes and when you go to four lanes."
Mr. Hensley said he also is concerned that traffic will backup as people try to parallel park.
"I just don't see where the benefit is to change M- 125 to this three- lane conception," he said. " I think it's been working fine for all these years. Why mess with something without much benefit?"
Mike Miller, a Monroe resident, said he is not the "visionary" others are.
"I believe you will have road rage," he said. "I can see bigger delays."
He also said he doesn't understand how fewer lanes will bring more folks to downtown.
"I'm at a loss for that," Mr. Miller said.
If the city determines that the reconfiguration does not work, it can contact MDOT and restripe the roadway to return to the five lanes, said Patrick Lewis, director of engineering and public services.
Mr. Lewis said the cost to the city is not yet final, but the city will pay for the signage and striping.
The resolution will be sent to MDOT for approval, he said.

Dirty Minds
We all know what love is. Or at least we think we do. But why do we fall in love? What actually goes on in our brains when we love someone? What does "chemistry" really mean for the way we approach relationships? In this day and age we want our advice backed by cold, hard science. Instead of Mom's shoulder, Freud's couch or the pastor's office, we often look for answers in genetic profiles and brain scanners. Today's guest has investigated the latest findings in biology, neuroimaging, endocrinology, evolutionary science, psychology and more to gain insight into why we do what we do when we're in love.
Our guest on Pathways today is Kayt Sukel, author of the new book Dirty Minds: How our brains influence love, sex, and relationships. She has written for The Atlantic, USA Today, The Washington Post, and others. She earned a BS in cognitive psychology and an MS in engineering psychology. She is a partner in the renowned family travel website Travel Savvy Mom and is also a frequent contributor to the Dana Foundation's many science publications. Kayt has recently returned to the United States after living abroad for six years. She lives in Houston, Texas.

April 5, 2009 Interview
Hi, I love your show and heard only the last portion of an interview you had this morning with a man who talked about dreaming together and how we can re-write our stories. I missed his name at the beginning of the show. I am intrigued and would like to know more about him... Can you please tell me his name? Thank you!
This author's name in Dr.
This author's name in Dr. Robert Moss and you will find several books on dreaming by him - one of the foremost authorities on dreaming, no doubt.
Pathways show- 2-01-09
Thanks, for the shows Sunday mornings; great way to start the week, and so glad to hear OCOM sponsoring you. Will be sure to mention this next visit we make there.
The "Well Dressed Ape" this AM was simply scintillating!
todays PATHWAY guest
Today's topic was particularly interesting, I would love to locate his website. He said it is www.connecttogod.com unfortunately this address sends the searcher to a christian website certainly not the site I was anticipating. Please send me more info so I am able to locate the correct site.
I did not catch the Rabi's name. The discussion was Kabalah and Neurology.
Thank you,
Last weeks' show on forgiveness
Great show last Sunday. Could you please remind me of the name of the author and her book? Didn't have a pen handy when the show was one and want to follow up.
Hello & Happy New Year
Hi Tom,
Crystal Wendekier, former Events Coordinator of East West Bookshop in Seattle, here to say hello and Happy New Year. I hope this email finds you well.
I decided to give up on the real estate business in Seattle. I finished graduate school in June 2008 and recently relocated to my home town of Sacramento, CA. I received a Master of Science Degree in Applied Behavioral Science with a focus on leadership and organizational development from Bastry University.
I'm currently looking for full-time or consulting work in Event/Program Management in the Sacramento area. I was wondering if you'd write a recommendation for me on my professional networking webpage at www.LinkedIn.com about my event work with you over the years when I was at East West. I would greatly appreciate it. You can see my webpage at: http://www.linkedin.com/pub/dir/crystal/wendekier. You will need to sign into view my full webpage.
Please let me know if you ever need my help with your events.

Tarot cards, history
Imagine someone who is so passionate about card games to deny that a deck of cards could be used any other way (including divination) than the way he likes ... and to think that he equates such misuse of cards with causing damage to culture! Is just playing cards so important? Is it more important than the effort to achieve greater understanding of the meaning of one's life, for instance -- whether you agree with the methodology or not?
There are lots of ways to do divination, and Tarot is definitely one of them, but Tarockspieler conflates divination with fortune-telling, betraying the fact that he/she doesn't know much about the difference between them. I would recommend my book, Divination.
I quite agree with his/her assessment of Tickle and most sites, as well as the abundance of fraudulent practitioners in the world of Tarot readings. I am well aware of the controversies about the origins of the Tarot deck, including the reductionist denial history that Tarockspieler subscribes to. On the basis of my sources, which I do not want to discuss in a Pathways forum (but would be happy to share via a more appropriate forum), I find it overly simplistic to categorically assert, as Tarock does, that there was no spiritual dimension to the origins of the Tarot symbology, which includes astrological, numerological and Kaballic corespondences. He/she can write or email to me directly for those sources if so desired.
I would share them here, but this post is completely misplaced on a KBOO forum related to the Pathways radio program, of which I happen to be a host, but which has nothing to do with Tarot per se, and has only featured a couple interviews on the topic in the past 24 years. Why was this post, which only has to do with my "day-job," posted here??? I have a blog on Tarot.com that would be more appropriate.
Tarot Cards, History
Great write up! I have a two trusted Tarot readers that are sincere prationers and their clientel are equally sincere for the most part. And as for myself I treat their knowlege and profession with respect and reverence. Being that we're resourcing the infinite divine upon potential directions that lay before us in life we'd might as well be respectful about it. Being respectful and sincere about this artform and you'll glean truthful results within the infinite sea of probabilities (quantum field).
I'd like to share more on the topic however, it may be a better idea to continue with this discussion later at your Tarot.com site.

Bella Mente - Ida Lewis Distance Race 2008
While most Rhode Islanders were peacefully sheltered ashore on Friday and Saturday night, an elite group of sailors was enjoying an intimate encounter with Mother Nature during the Ida Lewis Distance Race, which started Friday afternoon at 3pm. not far from the famed lighthouse that serves as host Ida Lewis Yacht Club's clubhouse on Newport Harbor.
Competing were 11 teams, four of those sailing in a handicap-rule class for IRC, four sailing under PHRF and three competing in a Double-Handed division. The PHRF and Double-Handed contenders sailed a 150-mile course, while the IRC boats sailed a slightly different, longer course of 177 miles.
A light 10-12 knot breeze marked the start, then sputtered to barely nothing overnight while the teams made their way to Montauk Point, immediately putting the fastest boats behind schedule on an expected early afternoon arrival back at the club on Saturday. Sailors were anything but bored, however, when the trip from Montauk to No Man's Land and then to Buzzard's Bay Tower served up extreme wind shifts that had them hurrying to change head sails and figure out their next moves.
'We had a three-hour period where we didn't move even one nautical mile,' said Hap Fauth (Newport, R.I.) whose Reichel/Pugh 69 Bella Mente, was first to finish - in just over 24 hours, at 3:30 p.m. on Saturday afternoon - and won the IRC class. 'And in my last ten years of racing I don't think I've seen so many sail changes in a single race.'
As one of a pool of new super-fast, high-tech IRC boats that debuted in Newport this summer, Bella Mente stayed behind while its grand-prix racing counterparts moved on to the Mediterranean to take part in the European racing circuit.
'Bella Mente just wasn't ready for prime time yet,' said Fauth, who thought the Ida Lewis Distance Race was a perfect way to test some boat modifications that were made recently. 'We also practiced with the crew for two days prior to going on this race,' he added.
Because she made it around the course fastest, Bella Mente missed out on most of the stronger winds of up to 23 knots that made the last 50 miles of the race a 'real blast' for the rest of the fleet. A scattering of severe weather cells, marked by fantastic shows of lightning, necessitated close scrutiny of radar systems and 'a snaking through' to avoid unwanted encounters.
'It looked pretty scary at times,' said Mike Coe (Milford, Conn.), crewman aboard Bill Jurgensen's (Stamford, Conn.) winning PHRF entrant Falcon, a Tripp 50 design. 'It seemed like the lightning was actually striking all around us.'
Lightning was not the only thing that caught Falcon's attention. John Brim's (Newport, R.I.) Reichel/Pugh 55 Rima (from the IRC class), which finished second in the race two years ago, had been close with them up until the Buzzard's Bay Tower mark, when the IRC fleet had to diverge from the two courses' common legs to take another leg out to Montauk while Falcon and the others sailed to a closer mark off Block Island before heading back to Newport. It led the Falcon team to believe that, had they chosen to enter IRC instead of PHRF, they might have done well there, too.
As it was, Falcon finished at around 6:30 p.m. Saturday evening, the second boat over the finish line after Bella Mente. Rima, which wound up fourth in IRC class, finished fourth over the line a little after 8:30 p.m. on Saturday, only 15 seconds behind William Byron's (Newport, R.I.) PHRF entrant Fearless, an Alden 72, which finished third in its class.
Jason Richter (Port Jefferson, N.Y.) returned to successfully defend his Double-Handed crown in the J/35 Paladin. Asked why he likes sailing shorthanded in the Ida Lewis Distance Race, he laughed, saying, 'I like the punishment. While we're out there, sometimes we say 'why do we do this?!''
The last boat to finish was Simon Day's (Newport, R.I.) 21-foot mini Transat boat, Josephine, which he, too, sailed with only one additional crew. She finished at 4:15 Sunday morning, completing the course in just shy of 37 hours.
Each boat was greeted at their finish by a crew of volunteers from Ida Lewis Yacht Club, powering alongside in one of the club's committee boats and bearing a congratulatory bottle of champagne. Since the finish line was sighted off the deck of the clubhouse, the boats that finished before midnight made an impressive show for members enjoying that night's Lobster Fest on Lime Rock.
It was from there that the heroine Ida Lewis, the female keeper of the Lime Rock Lighthouse in the early 1800s, famously rowed her lifeboat to wherever a sailor was in need. Legend has it that in daring rescues she saved 18 lives, each represented by a single star on the Ida Lewis Yacht Club burgee.
For having the fastest elapsed times, Bella Mente and Falcon were awarded, respectively, the Russell L. Hoyt and the Lois J. Muessel Perpetual Memorial Trophies.

No, we're not talking about a job advertisement; we're talking about the words coming from JT at shootingresources.com. See his interesting review of SPOT and how its design and functionality help thousands live up to the challenge of making it back in one piece while exploring or doing some of life's most dangerous work. JT: "…It was the longest and probably the most in depth testing we have ever done. We did this for a reason though. This was designed as a rescue device and as such you are putting your life on the line with this one piece of equipment. This is your last hope of rescue or survival therefore it must work flawlessly. So before I would say "yes this works go check it out," I want to make sure that I trust it with not only my life but those that are closest to me too. So how did the SPOT hold up after all of this? It was nothing short of amazing to be honest. The SPOT is tough plain and simple, there is not much in the normal world that is going to break this device. It held up under every harshness that we threw at it. It needed just a little more than cleaning or to pick it up and dust it off. Sure it shows a little cosmetic wear but who cares it still works." Click here for the full review.
Rescue Profile: Tom
Case #: 13665
Tom Madlem had been riding motorcycles for 50 years. Death Valley was one trip he had never taken before though. He and a friend had planned to take 2 weeks off and make the ride. However, the first part of the trip was going to force Madlem to commit the "cardinal sin" - biking alone.
This meant he would be riding alone through the desert for two days before meeting up with his friend. After his wife and son begged him not to go by himself, he was then convinced to purchase his SPOT GEN3™ for the trip so his family would have peace of mind. He made it the first day just fine alone. Tuesday morning, he had not ridden 10 miles when he took a hard fall on his bike.

Kevin Shattenkirk, a New Rochelle native, has helped Boston University field the third-stingiest defense in Division I hockey.
- Filed Under
It was decided on the final shift of regulation, a whole 46 seconds of power-play time to send longtime college hockey power Boston University back to the Frozen Four for the first time since 1997, when Chris Drury was a Terriers junior.
Kevin Shattenkirk, the defenseman from New Rochelle, took the ice playing one point, the rest of his squad's top power-play unit in tow.
"We were going out to end the game right there," he said. "We didn't want to go to overtime." ...

So, I have suggested TeXnic Center + MikTeX to a fellow PhD student for use for reports and his PhD thesis. At some point, he needed to write an article, and the simplest thing was to copy a TeXnic Center project and modify all the files in the tps and tpc files - this has worked for me in the past.
Trying to compile it today, the bibliography was not included which caused me (as his first port of call) a bit of a problem, most perplexing is the setup I managed to obtain in the end:
Identical tpc and tps files - where one works as a functional TeXnic Center project and the other one doesn't. Moving the files from the working project to the other results in the broken setup working again. Now I have no idea what could have happened, as the setup is reasonably straightforward.
I have attached the two samples as a 7-zip archive, labelled "broken" and "works"...
In the end the only solution I could offer was to create a new project and copy all the content across, but this still leaves the question as to why it occurred in the first place, and this gave a correctly compiling document.
I would appreciate any help in this matter - many thanks.
Sample, broken & works
Sergiu Dotenco
For some reason the broken project contains a UTF-8 BOM which causes TeXnicCenter not being able to recognize the project.
Sergiu Dotenco
Ah, that explains it. Thank you very much, it had me very confused.
On a side note: Would it not be good though if TeXnic Center would also recognize UTF encoding? (As a suggestion for the future)
Side note: Saving the .tps file as ANSI (via Editor) lets it work as it should again.

There is no knowledge advantage unless your company also has an action advantage. But many managers -HR managers included - fail to take action out of inertia or fear of failure.
These procrastinators need to understand that action counts more than elaborate plans and concepts, saysRobert I. Sutton, coauthor with Jeffrey Pfeffer of The Knowing-Doing Gap: How Smart Companies TurnKnowledge into Action. In a world where sounding smart has too often come to take the place of doingsomething smart, there is a tendency to let planning, meetings, and talk substitute for implementation.
"People like to say all of this smart stuff, to give the right answer, like in school," Sutton tells Human Resource Management News.
Action Can Be Dangerous
That's often because the company culture makes it dangerous to take action.
"If, in the organization, everybody points fingers when something goes wrong rather than help fix the problem,you feel you're probably better off just saying the smart stuff," he says. "The basic human response is not to try to improve the company, just try to avoid losing you job and being attacked."
But if the company allows employees to learn from mistakes and provides "soft landings" when they try and fail, people will be more likely to take action.
Sometimes the problem is that memory substitutes for action, says Sutton.
"That's more insidious - companies do things because they've always done it that way," he says. A company gets stuck in the past because the commitment to the past reaffirms its social identity and culture.
That's a particular problem for HR professionals because "HR is often in the position of having to enforcelegal requirements and follow a bunch of careful rules. They end up being cautious" and doing things the oldway.
To break from the past, Sutton calls for a revolution that creates new ways of doing things and makes itimpossible to go back to the old ways.
In both hiring decisions and in the way performance evaluations are done, Sutton urges HR to recognize morefully the importance of interdependent work. "Work is more interdependent than we seem to pretend it is. It'snot about individual superstars."
From an HR perspective, what the war for talent too often means is piling up the best possible people whohave the highest dollar value, he says. "But the problem with that kind of hiring is that the ability to cooperate asa team member is overlooked. In the war for talent, that's sometimes forgotten."
And more and more, performance evaluations seem to be set up to create a forced ranking, Sutton says. Thatpractice by definition pits people against one another instead of trying to develop employees who do theirjobs reliably, consistently, and in cooperation with coworkers.
Peer Evaluation
The ideal performance evaluation is done by peers, he says. "It's not 360-degree feedback. It's apeer-controlled culture. It does consider other things, but part of it is the employee's reputation for helpingothers."
Sutton says that David Kelley, president of IDEO Product Development, told him, "It's relatively easy to fool theboss, but it's hard to fool the team. You can't be like Eddie Haskell [of the television show Leave It toBeaver] and be on you best behavior" for a short period of time.
The company's compensation system should "reward smart action, not smart talk" and help employees focuson the outside enemy and not on internal competition, Sutton emphasizes. The company may have individualincentives, but it should have incentives to cooperate as well.
One of best examples of how to avoid internal competition, he says, is from a medical device manufacturer that went from a system in whichemployees working on various products were in competition with each other to a system in which a large proportion of everyone's bonus isnow based on the performance of the company's five most critical projects.

So I guess I'm going to be on my own, just wanted to vent about it : ( I already love this baby and I know we'll be happy without him, it's just hard. Before this we were completely in love, or at least he acted like it. And even in the beginning when we first found out I was pregnant he was still so nice and even seemed excited about the baby...it seems like ever since he talked to his friends and parents it started to change.
It'd help to hear from anyone else who has been in similar situation!

We have now spent some time talking about IT Governance as well as the Business IT Planning phase of the lifecycle and so I wanted to jump ahead a bit from planning straight into the Operations and Support phase of the lifecycle, with emphasis on the Operations piece. Please understand that I am intentionally leaving out the middle at this point, the design, build, stabilize, and deploy phase that creates a service and moves it into production for the Operations and Support groups. But I do promise we'll come back to that one shortly and fill in the gap.
Operations and Support is an area that Microsoft has to get right as we have a responsibility to assist our customers with operating and supporting our platform in the most efficient and painless manner possible. And that requirement does lead very naturally to our goal, or mission statement, for this phase.
"To operate, maintain, and support existing IT services in line with SLA targets."
To support that goal, we're proposing streamlining the existing Operating Quadrant by combining several of the current Service Management Functions (SMFs) and mapping that workflow throughout the lifecycle in addition to providing technology specific work instructions. In our proposed model, we would be making several changes to the existing Operating quadrant SMFs. I'll list out the current SMFs and then talk about the changes. For a better, graphical representation, please download and review the attached PowerPoint presentation.
The first four of the above list: Systems, Network, Directory, and Storage would all be merged into a single Operations Management SMF. Service Monitoring and Control, as well as Job Scheduling would be moved over to the new lifecycle phase as standalone SMFs, though the focus of each will be updated to reflect both our new form factor and modern IT issues, technology, and concerns. Lastly, Security Administration would be moved to the foundational layer of the lifecycle that includes IT Governance, Compliance, Risk, and related concerns.
Now if we take a deeper look at the objectives of Operations Management SMF, we have five goals we hope to accomplish:
Again, a graphic showing this workflow is included with the attached PowerPoint.
So, with all of that said, I once again have a couple of specific questions I'd like to ask you:
1. What do you think about the proposed consolidation of the Operating Quadrant SMFs?
2. What specific technology work instructions would you find most useful (a prioritized list)?
Thank you all and look for another post from me in the next few days which will provide an in-depth look at our new SMF structure featuring Availability Management.

Hi Jason! I am wondering If a guidance will be provided about how could System Center Operations Manager fullfill as a tool avery SMF mapped into the new Operations Management SMF.
I think SCOM is a great "executing arm" for all this process.
Nowadays do not have much time to take an in-depth look into MOF and your post are giving me agreat overview of what is coming. Keep going!
The IT industry has learned so far that efficient operations without consistent/adaptative processess
Hi Jason,
I am liking the innovations that you are writing a lot and I'm very anxious to see the new cycle of life of MOF. Do I want to know if you are intending to join the quadrants Operations and Support? Thank you for your email, I promise that will answer him soon.
1. What do you think about the proposed consolidation of the Operating Quadrant SMFs?
R: Perfect, I'm sure that this is the best road to turn the faster life cycle. I hope that also reduces the number of pages in all documents and that the focus is really in important processes only.
2. What specific technology work instructions would you find most useful (a prioritized list)?
R: I think the System Center suite it is an option very complete for that. If you create guides with base in all the modules of this tool I am sure that will be very useful.
Continue with the great work, your project is being very good, my congratulations
Best regard

I still believe that Storage Management is a big enough / important enough subject to stand on its own. When you consider the cost implications of Storage Management alone it's worth its own spot. I can't see how you can make a case for SM&C and Job Scheduling to stand on their own but not Storage Management.
I would be very disappointed to see this one go.

In-house designers fill a unique role within their organizations. Regular collaboration with a variety of departments offers a well-rounded view of the needs and opportunities that exist. The ability to apply the design process and design thinking to non-design problems means the opportunity to make a much bigger contribution. By building relationships and regularly using their unique skills and knowledge, in-house designers are in an excellent position to effect positive change within their organizations.
As an in-house designer, you may find yourself working directly with higher-ups or even the owner of the company. This is a great opportunity to get to know them, ask questions and, in a respectful way, make suggestions. Don't be afraid to speak your mind, especially when asked. Present your point of view from a positive place—a place of opportunity—being careful not to complain. Decision-makers are often interested to know what their employees really think, and if you cultivate a relationship, they may even seek you out when they're in need of an alternate point of view.
Oftentimes, in-house designers' most frequent professional collaborators are non-creatives from other departments. Becoming familiar with other parts of the business is not only an educational experience but gives you the breadth of knowledge and awareness needed to be a true problem solver. Look deeper and think bigger: take into consideration the broader goals of an initiative and the impact it could have on the organization as a whole. Use this information to make suggestions, present options and tailor your design solutions to exceed the expectations of the brief.
In-house designers are often asked to work on non-design projects. This presents a wonderful opportunity to stretch your strategic thinking skills and demonstrate the value of design thinking. The ability to generate multiple viable solutions to a problem is something we, as designers, do inherently—and something we can easily translate to non-design situations. Using these skills, especially on cross-functional projects, will make colleagues see you as a go-to problem solver. What better way to demonstrate the unique value a designer brings to the table?
This knowledge gives in-house designers the ability to make informed judgments about what needs to change and what will stand the test of time. By developing a sixth sense about what "feels right" and what "feels wrong" in terms of the brand, you can become a respected adviser to others in the organization. Consider yourself a "brand ambassador" who is always working to protect the integrity of the brand and make the necessary improvements to stand out in the crowd.
Not every organization has a culture that embraces change. But, as designers, we are often advocates for change, knowing that its effects can alter the course of a company for the better. Don't get frustrated by those who fear it! Instead, help everyone see the benefits and opportunities that change can bring. This may mean making a mock-up, even if your collaborator is initially resistant, or self-initiating a project you think could make a real difference. Through support and patience, you can help others in your organization see that change and evolution are only natural and participate in driving the process.

Previously, I taught graphic design and typography at Michigan State University. I have also worked in-house for the largest independent furniture retailer in the US, providing creative direction to a cross-functional team of architects, interior designers
and graphic designers in the development of new retail stores and private label branding.

AIGA has partnered with The Creative Group (TCG) to create "INitiative," a national program to help in-house designers make a greater impact at their companies, evolve
professionally and connect with a broader network of peers.

INitiative, in-house design
5 Recommendations
If instances of self-questioning about working in-house become a catalyst for self-doubt, why not redirect some of that energy toward constructive self-evaluation? We can't count on having control over everything that affects our design careers, but we can establish focus, build accountability and develop a newfound sense of assurance about our professional trajectory in-house.

I'm not a Trekker myself, but I suspect that the vast, excitable legion of those who are will be tickled by J.J. Abrams' genial reboot of their cherished franchise, and that their enthusiasm, expressed in repeat viewings, will enable the film to live long and prosper at the box office. Several of the deathless [url id="http://www.mtv.com/movies/movie/305755/moviemain.jhtml"]"Star Trek"[/url] phrases are still in position here ("Beam me up!" "Set phasers to stun!"), along with winking nods to the original series' endearingly cheesy effects (the whirly "transporter beam" looks as silly as ever). And the writers, Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman (who previously collaborated with Abrams on "Mission: Impossible III"), have come up with a head-achingly clever plot device that effectively vaporizes nearly 40 years of earlier "Trek" lore (six TV series and 10 previous movies), and takes the never-ending story back to square one, where it can begin spawning a fresh generation of sequels.
Non-devotees, however, may find the movie underwhelming. Considered strictly as a sci-fi action picture, it's a bit rocky in the action department. One key face-off is little more than a fistfight, and some of the shaky-cam space mayhem is incoherent. The digital effects are nothing you haven't seen before, either — even the two ferocious alien beasties who figure in the film's most exciting sequence, set on a snow-blown ice planet, heavily suggest the Wargs and Krakens of other fantasy blockbusters. (More oddly, the Romulan spaceship that provides most of the extraterrestrial menace resembles a large black artichoke.)
Will fans care about any of this? Why should they? The heart of the "Star Trek" saga has always been the interaction among its affectionately individualized core characters, and there's plenty of that here (in one case, of a completely unexpected nature). The picture is set in the 23rd Century, before the beginning of the original TV series. James T. Kirk (Chris Pine) is a rowdy cadet at the Starfleet Academy, where he falls in with the young physicist Sulu (John Cho), communications specialist Uhura (who actually has a first name, we learn), navigator Chekov (his Russian accent thickly deployed by Russian-born Anton Yelchin) and a proto-grumpy Dr. "Bones" McCoy (Karl Urban). The rule-flouting Kirk also comes into conflict with a stiff-necked, by-the-book officer, the half-Vulcan Spock (Zachary Quinto). (A thought here: Wouldn't someone who hails from a planet called Vulcan be a Vulcanian? Would someone from Mars be called a Mars? My alien grammar isn't what it once was.)
When a violent space encounter puts Spock in charge of the fabled Starship Enterprise, he quickly starts butting heads with Kirk, severely testing his Vulcan commitment to pure reason over the human emotions that also roil his soul. This is pretty funny (at one point, Spock peevishly orders Kirk to stop sitting in the captain's command chair), and Quinto is especially resourceful at portraying his character's divided nature and prissy rectitude. Pine plays Kirk a little broadly, I thought (especially in an early drunk scene back on Earth), but his bland handsomeness amusingly recalls the stolid demeanor of William Shatner, the ineffable original. And while Eric Bana, as the Romulan outlaw Nero, is a standard-issue snarling villain (with a face full of Mike Tyson-like tattoos), Simon Pegg, who shows up rather late in the picture as the lovable Scotty, brings a distinctive comic fizz to the proceedings. ("Are you from the future?" he asks a surprise visitor hungrily. "Do they still have sandwiches there?")
The movie has an easy-going, unlabored charm. It may not be a great space epic, but it doesn't play its source material for jokes. And unlike the dreadful latter-day "Star Wars" pictures, this one honors the unflagging devotion of millions of fans. Which for them may be great enough.

What sounds the best?
I like a little bass above stock but I am more into the Quality of the sound.
Also any other suggestions?
What sounds the best?
I like a little bass above stock but I am more into the Quality of the sound.
Also any other suggestions?
I've had both, and absolutely loved those polks, but I just half assed installed the jbl's (still gotta improve the mounting and deaden the doors and tweak the settings), and the jbl's are a whole different speaker upon my first impressions and my limited listening time. They are extremely accurate, Cymbals sound lifelike like I've only heard in much more expensive sets. Midbass is decent considering the lousy install, so not fair to compare yet.
If I were to choose again, I'd definitely go JBL.
2000 Acura TL
Pioneer DEH-80PRS
Kicker CX300.4 (Temporary)
Subs TBD (IAD 10" or 12" possibly)

Bought from: gentlejax, 2lows10, eL_wEEnIe, --Navi--, wu501, trumpet
Ok so if i get the JBL MS-62C what speakers do I get in the back. Does JBL make speakers that are meant to go with these?

Infinity Kappas can be considered close to MS-62C, as the Kappa use a similar woven glass fiber material for the cones. Of course, they're not the same in general as the tweeters and crossovers are still very different. Kappas use first order crossover, I believe, and silk tweeter. JBLs use a metal tweeter with a more robust crossover. I'd agree that the rear speakers probably don't matter a lot. I personally would use Hybrid Audio Mirus coaxial speakers (paper come and silk tweeter, with a primitive crossover typical of coaxial speakers).
So are you saying that the GTO628 is better then the GTO629, GTO638 and the P662?
Also it does not have a paper woofer right?
