Book Presentation: "REPEATABILITY": Building Enduring Businesses for a World of Constant Change
23 de octubre 2012
Bain & Company, IE Business School and LID Editorial are pleased to invite you to the newest Bain book´s presentation with one of the authors James Allen, Co-leader of the Strategy Practice of Bain & Company: "REPEATABILITY": Building Enduring Businesses for a World of Constant Change.
"In an increasingly turbulent and fast-moving world, a few companies pull off a remarkable feat: They sustain steady, profitable growth year after year. They continually adapt their businesses to new markets and changing environments, yet retain the simplicity and focus that made them successful in the first place. Through extensive research, the authors show that companies that succeed in avoiding the complexity trap have developed a Great Repeatable Model SM, which allows them to focus on the few things that they do uniquely well, and replicate them again and again." (James Allen and Chris Zook)
Cocktail served after the presentation.
Please kindly confirm your attendance before the 15th of October to: Email: email@example.com or Tel: +34 91 5688280

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. (AP) - The Iran hostage thriller "Argo" is the surprise best-drama winner at Sunday's Golden Globes, beating out the Civil War epic "Lincoln," which had emerged as an awards-season favorite.
"Argo" also claimed the directing prize for Ben Affleck, a prize that normally bodes well for an Academy Award win -- except he missed out on an Oscar nomination this time.
"Les Miserables" was named best musical or comedy, while Hugh Jackman and Anne Hathaway claimed acting prizes. Besides the three wins for "Les Miserables" and two for "Argo," the show was a mixed bag, with awards spreads around a number of films. "Lincoln" came in leading with seven nominations but lost all but one, for Daniel Day-Lewis as best actor in the title role of "Lincoln." "Zero Dark Thirty" star Jessica Chastain won the Globe for dramatic actress as a CIA agent obsessively pursuing Bin Laden.
Other acting prizes went to Jennifer Lawrence as best musical or comedy actress for the oddball romance "Silver Linings Playbook" and Christoph Waltz as supporting actor for the slave-revenge tale "Django Unchained."

text: Reinventing British manners the Post-It way IDEO 03 November 09 by Ben Hammersley This article was taken from the December issue of Wired UK magazine. Be the first to read Wired's articles in print before they're posted online, and get your hands on loads of additional content by subscribing onlineIt's the hot design company hired by Apple to create its first mouse, (and by Microsoft to create its second), by the Post Office to rework the postbox, by Muji to create its wall-mounted CD player and by Procter & Gamble to reinvent toothpaste tubes. It made the Nokia N-gage, the Palm V and the Head Airflow tennis racquet.Now IDEO is being retained by Barack Obama's White House to help to reinvigorate the American civil service; by the government of Iceland to help the country to innovate its way out of financial crisis; and by the Kellogg Foundation to reinvent education.It might seem bizarre that a company used to designing products is now solving country-sized problems, but it all comes down to the technique it pioneered and preached to its clients. It calls this philosophy "design thinking".Design thinking defines the practical way in which IDEO approaches its problems, but as a phrase it also allows design to be talked about in a meaningful way by non-designers. After all, what is a designer? In the popular mind, it's the person who lends his or her name to a range of sunglasses or shoes - beret-sporting chaps who add several noughts to price tags. Or it's the engineer surrounded by technical drawings, making machines. Either way, for most people - and most companies - the idea of the designer does not involve solving problems that don't involve making a product. But proponents of design thinking say that they can extend this creative mindset to address all forms of problem-solving. Designing products, yes, but also designing new businesses, new strategies, even new additions to society. Tim Brown, IDEO's president, calls it "a way of describing a set of principles that can be applied by diverse people to a wide range of problems".Practically speaking, the approach isn't complicated. In stages, it goes like this: firstly, immersion, whereby the designers research the problem by plunging themselves into it - talking to the people they're trying to help, working with them, interviewing experts. Secondly, synthesis - whereby they gather together their findings and look for patterns. Third, ideation - brainstorming solutions to the real problems identified by stage two. Then comes prototyping, making mock-ups of solutions to try out against the problem. After that comes the product. Only at the end, at the prototyping stage, are judgments made; until then, all ideas are given equal weight.This methodology is radical in that it differs from traditional approaches to business strategy in two key ways. Whereas in many companies the concept for a new product may have already been based on, say, an idea from the marketing department with a designer later brought in to make it look pretty, design thinking places the designer at the heart of the innovation process. Secondly, the methodology gives a firm framework within which a wider team can work. It takes the cliché of the lone creative mind being struck with genius, and replaces it with a process that a whole team can follow. Creativity, therefore, isn't a thing that magically appears, but a process you work through.And work through it they have. IDEO was founded in 1991, through the merger of four companies: David Kelley Design, ID Two, Matrix, and Moggridge Associates. That year, it won 15 awards, 12 of them IDEA awards (perhaps the most prestigious international design competition). By 2009 it had won more IDEA awards than any other company. Fast Company magazine named it tenth in its top 25 list of innovative companies; by some reports, IDEO has worked for the other 24. Fortune placed it 15th in its list of companies most popular with MBA students. BusinessWeek, too, named it one of the world's most innovative companies.It's the open-minded approach to ideas and innovation that defines design thinking - a term made famous by founder David Kelley. The methodology has led to a distinctive feature of IDEO offices around the world: walls full of Post-It notes, intended to help teams share their suggestions. In group brain-storming sessions, every idea, every observation is written or preferably sketched on to one of the sticky sheets and then displayed. During four months of Wired's visits this summer to IDEO's London office - an open-plan loft-like space in Clerkenwell - the areas set aside for each of its current projects ebbed and flowed in the form of the sticky notes. Research was written, sorted and synthesised with them; brainstorming sessions, where every member of staff is invited to contribute their input to a project, produced walls full of the things; prototypes even more so.But there's no better way to understand how creative people work than to be part of the process. So Wired commissioned the London office to tackle a problem as if we were commercial clients (detailed at the end of this article). The brief, we decided, would be unlike any conventional design project. It would be to resolve one of the UK's most pressing social problems: urban rage.Bill Moggridge, the twinkly-eyed grey-bearded British co-founder of IDEO, a Royal Designer for Industry and the designer of the world's first laptop, explains how IDEO, design thinking and his own ideas came about. "I think in the early days, in an industrial- design consultancy, people probably came to us because they thought we could do cool-looking stuff," he says. "The difference was that I always insisted on trying to understand what people would think and what they would want. The simplest way of doing that was to make sure that we saw the real world. So, for example, one of the earliest projects John Stoddard, who still works with us in San Francisco, worked on was for a Danish marine radio. We sent him to Hull and got him to go on a fishing trip up to Iceland so he could see what it was really like.If you don't get out there and see what it's like, then you couldn't really design it right. That was my basic thinking. I remember doing something for bone surgery, when we were first starting to do artificial joints. So I put on the wellies and green gown and went into the operating theatre and watched what the surgeons did as they were carving people's legs up. It was pretty nasty, but very informative."Increasingly, as products become more sophisticated, consultancies such as IDEO are focusing less on individual devices and thinking more about designing systems. The iPod, for example, is a design classic because it is part of a system that includes iTunes, its music store, its packaging, even the real-world Apple store, and the way in which the music you buy is charged to the credit card attached to your account. It's a product, yes, and a system too, but also a service.Another example is the work IDEO did for Bank of America. Asked to help attract new customers from a specific target market - middle-aged women with children - the firm, along with a team from the bank, conducted interviews with potential customers across the US. They observed that some of them rounded up their bill payments for speed and ease of mental arithmetic: if an electricity bill came in at $42.23, they found that many would pay, for example, $45, knowing the difference would go towards the next bill. It meant household accounts were simplified, and also that the customer's psychological relationship with the utility company was subtly changed. Other potential customers they met had difficulty saving. These insights led the IDEO team to develop not an advertising campaign nor a set of branding guidelines, but instead a whole new bank account: one in which any money spent on the accompanying debit card is rounded up to the nearest dollar, and the difference automatically placed into a separate savings account.Since its launch in 2005, the Keep The Change account, based on observation and developed through design thinking, has brought Bank of America up to ten million new customers, and has resulted in $1.8 billion of savings.Today's new technologies, of course, do not necessarily add any complexity to designing a system or a service over designing a single device. The lines have become blurred. As more devices are made to connect to the internet, to communicate between themselves as well as with their users, and to interact with the ever-more complicated new systems that make up modern life, their design becomes hugely more complex. Bill Moggridge offers the example of traditional telephone design."In the old days, you'd go into the hall and you'd pick up this thing and stick it to your ear and wind the handle, and then you'd speak to another human being. There was a bit of design for the infrastructure, which was an engineering thing connecting you, and there was a very simple piece of exchange that the operator did, and there was a very simple piece of product design - the instrument - but nothing challenging about it. The really interesting challenges were human-to- human. The operator had to be trained to learn how to deal with rude people or to know the addresses of two Mrs Smiths. Human intelligence was simply relied on, and businesses would think of this as a training opportunity or problem, rather than as a design opportunity or problem."Contrast that with today," he continues. "You take the telephone, and now you've got human-to-machine first, then machine-to-machine, and finally machine-to-human, so there are design challenges all the way because of the process - because you can't rely on human intelligence to do the interpretation. The thing becomes a design opportunity and need."Then you add all this other stuff like SMS and email and internet access, and you have a whole other set of design challenges and opportunities. Which means there is this very sophisticated object which is pretty intimate - you put it up to your face like a wine glass - with all sorts of interactions going on with tiny screens, controls that are too small to be easy to use, and there's this range of things you can do with it, all of which you have to try to align. It becomes a very difficult, complicated system with lots of layers and a hierarchy of complexity, but every one of those layers has to do with design, as opposed to training."Here, then, is a third new field of design: interaction design, which considers how humans interact with devices and systems - in a way more involved than simple ergonomics. Moggridge may be most famous for the GRiD Compass, widely seen as the first laptop. But his most lasting contribution may come from having pioneered this field of interaction design - again, the study of how we use technologies, not just how they look or how they're built.The two go together, though, as Moggridge recalls:"I had my first prototype [laptop] in 1981. I took it home and I started thinking, 'Now I have a chance to use this myself.' I sat down to work, trying to understand what was happening in this little electroluminescent screen. And within about five minutes I'd forgotten everything about the physical form of the product, I was so focused on that interaction with the software - I found that I was sort of sucked through the screen into this virtual world. Occasionally I'd remember, 'Oh yeah, I designed this physical thing,' but beyond that, the important aspect - the interface -was something that I didn't yet know how to do. And so I decided to learn how."That decision - to leave behind industrial design - was a fateful one; it led Moggridge to become a trustee of the Design Museum, a visiting professor in interaction design at London's Royal College of Art, a lecturer in design at the London Business School, and a founder of the short-lived but hugely influential Interaction Design Institute in Ivrea, Italy. Today at IDEO he helps 550 staff (roughly equally split between men and women) and ever-more unusual clientele to "create impact through design", as the firm's mission states.Impact is key. Indeed, Moggridge sees the designer's job as embracing not just the person, but the entire planet."You can think of design as three concentric circles. You have the person in the centre, and then you have the environment they live in, and then you have the world as a whole. For the person, we can also think of health and welfare - so you're designing actual improvements in the way people exist in their relationship to the world in a holistic sense."The larger version of that is just a holistic look at the planet... and that becomes political. It's no good just thinking about CO2 emissions in one country, it really has to be a global thing in order to have an effect. So the design of political systems that enable greater sustainability and that really will have an active effect is a much better problem outcome than looking at nice materials to make packaging or something."I think that the smaller circles are still always there, but you've got this bigger one surrounding them as well." Somewhere there's a new pack of Post-it notes ready to tackle it. Read page 2 12 Read on one page Latest on wired.co.uk

Maria Sharapova had a hot mic moment during her epic 3-hour plus win against Victoria Azarenka in Beijing.
Vika requested a second medical timeout for an apparent leg issue so the ref walked over to Shrieka and advised her about the extra time. Let's just say she had a few choice words about the situation - and they didn't involve the Belarussian.
Thanks Isa!

Unnecessary? Oh, I don't think she knew the mic was on. Methinks Maria is pissed that Jelena retired from a FINAL only to jump on a plane and play a 3 setter. (Yes, in pain, but played she did.) Not to mention all the MTO's Jelena has called against her over the years. That AO 2008 SF was just one after another.ReplyDelete
More than that, I'd guess this goes waaaaay back. These two grew up playing each other and yet bizarrely act like they're total strangers. Hmmm... I wish one of them will spill the dirt and just blab it all.
In meantime hilarious comments like this will have to do.
Awesome Maria.

"she's a great player but boy does her attitude towards others suck"ReplyDelete
Nah, you'd be hard pressed to find another negative comment she's made about other players. Unlike Serena and Jelena, she always gives her opponents full and total credit in her press conferences after a loss. (Something that most fans overlook. Go read the Oudin presser, or the 2007 Radwanska press conference)
When she was playing hurt last year she could have used the hurt shoulder as an excuse and never did. After her 2008 2R loss at Wimbledon she outright lied and said she wasn't injured and gave AK full credit. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gXMW4FQK_3A
Even though we now know she had a torn rotator cuff at the time.
In comparison you have Jelena blaming losses on everything and anything including her period.
"there was no need for that, she acts as if she's never had timeouts! bitch please!!!she had her shoulder injury too she seesm to have forgotten that."
While playing with that injury she only called the trainer out ONCE: During her last match of the year at Roger's Cup. After that match she ended her season. So I'm sure she doesn't respect Jelena calling the trainer out at the drop of a hat over the years.

Matt Cronin:
"This much is clear though: Sharapova doesn't like how Jankovic frequently makes excuses when she loses and doesn't given enough credit to her foes. perhaps that traces back to Bollettieri's, when it's possible that the older Jankovic(she's two years older than Sharapova), wouldn't give the Russian credit for victories.
Here's Sharapova responding to a question at the US Open, tongue firmly in cheek and eyes rolling back in her head:
"After Melanie beat Jelena Jankovic in Wimbledon, Jelena Jankovic said she doesn't have many weapons and she wasn't too impressed."
"Shocking. Shocking that she said that," replied Sharapova after her defeat to Oudin.
Jankovic memories of growing up at Bollettieri are rich, except when it comes to specific scores. She's very much a diva and clearly doesn't like the amount of attention that Sharapova has received. Without question, she respects her as a player, but since she moved to the United States when she was 12 to train at Bollettieri's, she's been all about proving her place in the world, which to her, should be at the very top.
"We always wanted to be better than another ." she said. " That's why we are great competitors now when we got older. We want to fight, play the matches, we love the challenges. I didn't ant to practice I wanted to compete and go play matches on the backcourts. At Bollettieri's there are like 150 courts and we played -- fat kids, thin kids, 15-year-old, 20 years and we just played an it made it better… We were fighting, competing against each other we were doing anything to win. We were girls at an young age that had rivalries. It should be like that on court but when you leave the court you should be able to go out and have normal life."
Sharapova's memories are thin too, other than that as kids at the academy, "we'd always be playing in the semis or finals, all the time. Every week we'd be playing against each other. All I actually remember was that was the time when computers had just come out, and we were so fascinated by them. They had like a little computer room at the academy, and the first thing we'd do after the match was just run to the computer room. I remember us setting up e-mail addresses and stuff. I guess that was the in thing to do."
Here's comment that riled Sharapova back in the summer of 2007, when Jankovic said that Sharapova didn't deserve the word No. 2 ranking having only won one tournament that year. Sharapova's response: "I deserve it - I've won two Slams and the ranking is year-round."
In other words, Jelena is a jealous bitch. :P

Peter Drucker on ERM
Richard Steinberg 270004HRBG email@example.com | | 0 Comments | 396 Visits
Some months ago I came across an article co-authored by a colleague of mine on enterprise risk management. It's aimed at boards of directors, providing needed insight into difficulties companies have experienced implementing ERM, and puts forth principles for its effective use.
What I found particularly interesting is reference to principles outlined by "legendary management thinker" Peter F. Drucker, and the authors' description of how those principles can be applied to ERM:
Mr. Drucker, if somehow you're listening, I hope you're smiling at what you hear.

OpenPages Continues Global Expansion
John Kelly 270004J7VQ email@example.com | | 0 Comments | 193 Visits
This week we announced another strong quarter including significant growth in software license revenue and continued profitability. Growth was driven by new customer wins across the globe and across industries including North America (Baker Hughes Selects OpenPages for Audit and Financial Controls Management and Union Bank Selects OpenPages Operational Risk Management), Japan (Mizuho Securities Selects OpenPages to Enhance their Operational Risk Management) and South Africa (Old Mutual Selects OpenPages Operational Risk Management Solution).
While the geographies and industries may differ, it is clear that across the globe, companies have a common objective to improve business performance through reduced risk exposure and better allocation of resources.

Debate Ends on Reg Reform Bill
John Kelly 270004J7VQ email@example.com | | 0 Comments | 189 Visits
The Senate today voted 60-38 to end debate of the Financial Regulation Reform Bill and move to final passage later today before heading to President Obama's desk. In addition to increased power to monitor systemic risk in banks, the Bill gives regulators the ability to step in and breakup or seize the assets of financial institutions deemed to be at risk of failing and posing a threat to the financial system. It also promises to create a new federal agency called the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) which will police loans and financial services products that banks and others sell to consumers. This morning's vote was primarily democratic (all but one democrat supported the bill), and Republicans for the most part are claiming that it overextends the power of the government which, they argue in the long run will cost banks a significant amount of money in meeting the new regulations and reporting requirements.
The Huffington Post is reporting that, "a team of Goldman Sachs analysts predicted in a Tuesday research note that the legislation will annually cost Bank of America about $4.4 billion, Citi about $3.7 billion, JPMorgan about $5.3 billion, Morgan Stanley about $900 million, and Wells Fargo about $2.2 billion."
The bill seems certain to pass the final Senate vote later today and Obama is ready to sign it. The ultimate impact on the risk and compliance management market is yet to be determined, but one thing is for certain, the era of deregulation is officially over.

Rated 4.8 out of 5 by 159 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Gosa Love, love, love this table. Love this table and chairs. Have received so many compliments. December 27, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by TerrieAnn13 Gorgeous table! Just received this table and love it! It's incredibly well-made, was easy to assemble (attach braces to legs and table top to legs) and looks beautiful. It's very solid, heavy. Looks like a much higher end product. The delivery company does require a signature for delivery, so if you are not home at the first attempt, you have to contact them and make arrangements for the next delivery. They will email you a signature release form to sign and send back if you are unable to meet them. September 27, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by mawg Just LOVE this table!!!! I purchased this table and four chairs on sale two years ago when I moved into my little Craftsman home---needed a table for a small dining room and this fits perfectly. The construction of the table is incredible and it's heavy so it's not going anywhere. And the style fits right in with the character of my home. Shortly after I purchased it I had a family dinner and managed to seat 10 people around the table with 2 at each end---tight but do-able---and there was still room for serving dishes in the center. I wanted to be able to use the table without worrying about damage to the finish and without needing to use placemats, tablecloths, etc. so shortly after I got it I refinished the top and gave it a few coats of varathane. It's been a workhorse---dining, computer workspace, sewing cutting table---and it looks as good as the day I bought it. I get lots of compliments on it and I couldn't be happier with the purchase. June 10, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by ChrisB Stunningly Beautiful!!! I bought this table online without having seen it in person because I just really liked the design. It was delivered in less than the estimated delivery time. It was packaged very well to protect it during shipping. The quality is amazing and the wood is stunningly beautiful with a very rich look to it. I purchased the chairs and bench in the store and one of the chair seat backs was broken and the store exchanged it without any issues. All of the items are high-quality and very sturdy. Assembly was simple enough I could do it myself. I just needed assistance with the table because it's almost 200 lbs. I am SO very pleased with this purchase and got a great deal on it at 50% off the regular price. The only downfall was having to order table online and then go to three different stores to purchase four chairs and one bench. Customer service from store employees was outstanding in helping me find where the pieces were located that I needed and held them for me. September 22, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Mateo Beautiful and durable Beautiful table that is well constructed and easy to put together. We've had one for 7 years that we just gave to newly married kids, and we liked it so much that we bought another one. Benches and chairs are great as well. Would buy again. September 17, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Afghanlover I guess I got lucky in getting one After seeing the ad/flyer in Sunday paper decided to go for it....I looked online first & read good reviews. Wasn't available online & I didn't want to pay shipping surcharge of $100 which was almost half the cost of the table at 50% off. Anyway, I called my local store which online stated they did not have it available. Clerk said they had 2 coming in & one was spoken for, she said she would put me down for the other one. She called about 4 days later said it was in & I went & picked it up...great service by the local store! The table is very heavy, top comes in one piece & legs come in another box. Put it together with 3 of us as it was hard to maneuver being so heavy. The only problem; one of the holes for a bolt was not aligned correctly so had to fix that. The table looks great & goes with my chairs (didn't buy bench or matching chairs). This table should last a long time & is very heavy duty. September 8, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by TCoates Gorgeous and functional This table was an incredible find. The size is perfect and the design is beautiful. July 21, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by JennD Great Quality at an Affordable Price My husband and I bought this table a little over a year ago during a Dining Sale. It is SUCH a great table for the price we paid! We got the table and 4 chairs (2 sets of chairs) for around $700 (we did in-store pick-up). Not only does it have the look I was going for, but is a solid table that seems like it will last a long time. It is roomy enough for everyone to have their own space at the table (it does not feel cramped like some that seat 6) and the color of wood is beautiful. It brings a touch of rustic charm to our house, and I have so much fun dressing it up with different linens. We got a kitten recently and she has been trying to jump on the chairs when we aren't looking, I was worried that she would scratch them up! But they must be pretty durable because I have not seen a scratch. I love it! May 13, 2014

Preventing Child Medical Identity Theft
January 29, 2013 in health care costs, Health Insurance, Hospital Bills, Insurance Bills, Medical Care
Along with being able to talk to providers and insurance companies from an informed standpoint, you will also benefit from knowing more about how criminals work to fraudulently bill others for various items including health care services. There has been a flurry of reports about a growing practice that's pretty disturbing, especially to new parents. It involves criminals simply using children's identities to bill medical services and other items to credit accounts.
Doesn't The Government Check a Consumer's Age?
You would think that children would be safe from identity theft because of their age. But, the reality is that with the complex database systems of many governments and private businesses, it's often possible for criminals to commit fraud by using the Social Security number and other identifying information of a minor. At the same time, many of these efforts are successful specifically because nobody else is checking the credit account for a minor. Since a child can't usually make purchases or access his or her credit, everyone figures the accounts will be dormant. What some unlucky parents are finding out, though, is that to many government agencies and businesses, one Social Security number is as good as another, and the issue of age does not factor into many of these fraudulent accounts. In some cases, criminals who open these kind of accounts can keep using them for months or even years.
What To Do About Child Identity Theft
Much of what consumer advocates recommend in terms of deterring child identity theft is the same as what you would do to prevent adult identity theft. Read the rest of this entry →

(USA Today) -- The incredible video of Lewis-Palmer (Monument, Colo.) basketball player Anna Olsen making a most-improbable full-court shot might leave you with a few questions.
1. Does it count?
2. Is it a 2-pointer or a 3-pointer?
The NFHS rules editor says the shot counts as a 2-pointer and is credited to the shooter.
3. Why did Olsen shoot the ball from under her own basket when there was clearly enough time to dribble up court?
We have no idea.
4. Is this the most incredible shot ever?
Probably not EVER ever, but at least in the last week.

GREENVILLE, N.C. – Former Hickory High School standout Jada Payne has completed a grant-in-aid agreement to attend East Carolina and play basketball for the Pirates beginning with the 2012-13 campaign, according to an announcement Wednesday by head coach Heather Macy.
Payne, a 6-2 combo guard and wing player, will sit out the upcoming season due to NCAA rules regarding transfer students and will have three years of eligibility remaining with ECU.
"I am pleased to be able to welcome Jada Payne back to her home state," Macy said. "She is an impact player and will certainly raise the competitive level of the program. Jada really fits the mold of the type of player we want at East Carolina."
Payne returns to the state after playing her freshman campaign at La Salle University, where she earned 2012 Atlantic 10 All-Freshman Team honors by averaging 8.8 points and 3.5 rebounds per contest and knocking down a team second-best 42 three-point field goals. She appeared in all 31 games, starting the first 26, and was named Atlantic 10 Rookie of the Week twice. Payne was the team's high scorer in five contests, netting 15 points in her collegiate debut against Lehigh. She followed that effort with a 16-point performance at Albany, earning her first A-10 Rookie honor as a result.
"I am excited to join the Pirate Nation," Payne stated. "East Carolina has everything I was looking for in terms of academic excellence and a great athletic program."
Proving a consistent scorer throughout the season, Payne produced a four-game double-digit scoring streak from Jan. 14-28, averaging 15.8 points per game over that stretch. One of her best efforts of the campaign occurred against future Conference USA rival Charlotte where she poured in a game-high 18 points to go along with eight rebounds. Payne then dropped in 24 points at Richmond in the next contest to garner her second weekly A-10 Rookie accolade. She ended the campaign on a strong note, scoring 13 points in the Explorers' Atlantic 10 Championship first round win over Xavier.
During her prep career, Payne led Hickory High School to a 28-3 record and the North Carolina 3A state finals in 2010-11. She was one of the top players on a squad that won the Northwestern 3A-4A and West 3A Regional championships and was named the West 3A Regional Most Valuable Player. Payne was also named the West MVP at the state finals. She earned Hickory Daily Record All-Greater Hickory Girls' Player of the Year honors and was also tabbed to the Associated Press All-State Team. She was the first Hickory female player to be invited to play in the North Carolina East-West All-Star game in eight years and was a 2011 McDonald's All-American nominee.
Payne led the squad to the conference regular season title as a sophomore and both the regular season and tournament title as a junior, as well as the sectional finals in both seasons. As a junior, she averaged 20 points and seven rebounds per game, along with five steals and four assists. She was named all-conference, First Team All-District and Second Team All-Region in 2009-10.

I've lurked on the tutorial forums for a while, learning the tricks of the trade, and I figured I should try and give something back.
I really like the old-school style maps using not-to-scale graphical representations of objects of interest. I've adapted a number of the ideas I learned on these forums to develop a quick and easy technique for making this style map in my open source graphics software of choice, the GIMP. I wrote up a tutorial and attached it as a PDF. Running through the tutorial should take 1-2 hours (depending on your familiarity with the program) and you'll wind up with a map like the Sample map attached. Once you've got your brushes made and the technique down, you can churn out maps very quickly - the Sample map took me 15 minutes to make from a blank canvas. If you spend more time you can make much nicer maps using the same techniques.
The tutorial is written so someone completely new to GIMP can start using it to make maps. A more experienced user can easily get by with just skimming the highlights. The most important portion is the creation of the animated brushes and correctly tuning their spacing.
A caveat - these maps are not (nor are they meant to be) strictly geographically accurate. You'll notice the sample map doesn't have so much as a compass rose, let alone a scale bar. They're meant to give a general representation of an area. This is sufficient for some purposes and not for others. I use them as RPG handouts to give players an idea of their immediate area. It is of course not difficult to adapt these techniques towards the production of more accurate maps.

Im deciding between Quantum Stretch and Akonas other 3mm wetsuit. On Akonas website, the other (less expensive) 3mm wetsuit mentions "Glued and blind stitched inside and out", while the Quantum Stretch only mentions "Glued and blind stitched". Does that mean the seams of Quantum Stretch is only "Glued and blind stitched" on one side only?
It's all marketing. Gluing and Blind Stitching are normal methods of building a wetsuit. It keeps the suit from tearing and coming apart at the seams when being worn and over time/use. It also helps control the amount of water that flushes through the suit. Basically, if they aren't all put together exactly the same, it tends to be over kill. And any extra work or materials put into a suit will equate directly into it's cost. You won't be disappointed in either choice.
what is the difference between the 2011 and 2012? is it me or you advertise the 2012 as having glideskin on the ankle and wrist and its not there this year?
Hello Stephane, Thank you for your inquiry! Akona did make a few changes to the 3mm Quantum Stretch Jumpsuit / Wetsuit. They reduced the anti-skid material on the shoulders and back designed to grip the buoyancy compensator and reduce shifting, where it was moved up around the neck. They also reduced the price a bit for 2012. http://www.scuba.com/scuba-gear-43/150780/Akona-3mm-Quantum-Stretch-Jumpsuit---Wetsuit-New-for-2012.html If you would like to place an order or have questions about our products, please contact one of our certified Dive Instructors at SCUBA.com by calling800-247-2822 <> 949-221-9300or e-mail us at: firstname.lastname@example.com
Akona is advertising free butties and gloves with their wet suits this month. Are you offering it too? I dont see it offered here. I want to get the full length 3mm XXL suit for men
I am in my seventies and quite skinny. I also have slight arthritis in my neck and I feel the cold. I am after a wetsuit for snorkeling that will be as easy as possible to put on and be comfortable and will also keep me warm in water round 75 degrees. Any suggestions? Thank you Jennifer

elements of diving. The closely guarded, unique lamination process and a strategically designed pattern matched with lightweight, limestone based
neoprene is the science behind AKONA Quantum Stretch wetsuits. The most comfortable and best fitting wetsuits in their class.

I am just recovering back from failure and got a certificate from GoDaddy. However per wiki it says I need to have a commercial.key. now would like to know how i can get the commercial.key or how do I generate it since the default installation doesn't show up the key.
Is there any way to generate the key?

1967 Dodge Dart Sedan - DemodartWritten by on January 13, 2012 Contributors: Chadly Johnson Showcase Pro Touring '67
There have been plenty of Dodges used as demonstrators over the years, but Fred Kappus Jr.'s '67 Dart is a far cry from the A-Bodies that The Dodge Boys used back in the day.
Fred Kappus Jr. of Fast Freddie's Hot Rods started with a '67 Dart whose previous owner had something else in mind in regards to the finished car. "He had an idea about how he wanted it built, and we decided to take it in a completely different direction," Fred recalls. "He was going to do a Hemi Dart clone with it, and I'm more into the Pro Touring/G-Machine end of the hobby, and that's the direction we decided to take it."
That direction started with a base-series Dart two-door sedan, the smallest and lightest body style in Dodge's '67 lineup. Fortunately, being a rust-free California black plate car, it didn't need rust or crash-damage repair before its transformation. However, it had a carbon-fiber bumblebee stripe in back, which had reacted with the clearcoat sprayed on during the previous owner's body and paint work, leaving a blob instead of a stripe. Off it came, and Fred also decided to smooth out the body and engine bay before his choice of color (PPG Viper Red with a black bumblebee stripe) went on. "I did quite a bit of work there, smoothing it all out and welding up all the extra holes," Fred says, "and I spent a lot of time relocating the A/C and heater lines, so those would disappear as quickly as possible."
That relocation also included mounting the A/C's four-way connector on top of the inner fender, and relocating its dryer to the outside of the inner fender. "All those things cleaned it up as much as possible, so your main focus is on the engine and not on all the extraneous accessories and things like that," adds Fred.
In back, the unibody gained a pair of mini tubs, adding needed room for the BFG-shod American Racing Torq-Thrust M wheels yet to come. Underneath, a Reilly Motorsports "AlterKtion" tubular K-member with Monroe coilovers went in up front, joined by a Calvert Racing rear suspension.
For power, a 512-inch low-deck stroker went in. As Fred tells it, "We started with a 400, and we got a little more header clearance than we would have with a 440, especially on the passenger side, where it ends up getting pretty cozy." A bigger hurdle involved the Tremec five-speed that backs the Wedge. "Since we used a Tremec, we had to re-form the transmission tunnel and get more clearance," Fred says.
After all the work (which took longer than planned, due to Fred only having evening and weekend time to work on it), the result is a '67 Dart that grabs the road in the corners--and grabs attention wherever it's shown. "It ends up making it to a lot of the bigger events around the upper midwest," says Fred. "We try to get out to as many shows as possible and promote the business the best we can with it." That includes two big annual events just a short drive from Eau Claire--Mopars in the Park in Farmington, Minnesota, and the Car Craft Summer Nationals in St. Paul--as well as a stint on the Hot Rod Power Tour in 2009.
"It [the car] has a real nice low center of gravity, which really helps the handling in the corners," says Fred. "The power-to-weight ratio is incredible--it's a 3,200-pound car. When you have 650 foot-pounds of torque in a little body like that, in first, second, and third gears, you really can't keep the tires under it. It made all that torque at 3,700 rpm.

This week's Business Partner Tuesday is a day late, but if you saw our earlier post today, you'de know why :-)
Would you like to connect instantly with other members of the Lotus Community? Perhaps your favorite blogger? A presenter you saw at Lotusphere? A Lotus Business Partner? Or even an IBMer? Well the people running BleedYellow.com are helping make this a reality. Here's an easy how-to guide to set yourself up. I've already done it, so you can now connect with me via Sametime (say hi!).
BleedYellow is a public Lotus Connections site, run by IBM Business Partner Lotus911 (now GROUP). So the first thing you need to do, is go there and register. (the Register link is at the bottom left corner, as shown below):
Once you have an ID and PW on BleedYellow, you next go into your Lotus Sametime client, and add an additional community, allowing you to connect to both your company's Sametime server to chat with your coworkers, and the BleedYellow Sametime server to chat with people from all over the world (but you already knew that Sametime client can connect to multiple communities, didn't you...)
In Sametime:
- Choose File - Manage Server Communities from the top menu.
- Click Add New Server Community
- On the Log In Tab, add the username that you registered at BleedYellow.com, and your password. * Note: Some people have told me that they use the email address they registered on BleedYellow with, not their username.
On the Server tab, enter im.bleedyellow.com as the Host Server, and 1533 as the Server community port.
Then click OK at the bottom. Now the last thing you have to do is add a group so you can see the people to chat with. Click on the New icon, and choose New Group:
Select Search for a public group (1), select the bleedyellow community (2), search for the group yellowbleeders, select it (4), and click OK.
A Special thanks to Alan Leposky for the screenshots and Bilal Jaffery for the instructions.

Another good reason to upgrade to Sametime 8.5.1
Jacques Pavlenyi 1000002W2A firstname.lastname@example.com Tags:  maintenance 8.5.1 upgrade 7 7.5 sametime renewal 2 Comments 2,812 Visits
As if the greatly improved administrative experience, user experience and overall business value from IBM Lotus Sametime 8.5.1 weren't enough (hey, I had a lot of coffee this morning), you might want to also know that IBM has announced that as of September 30, 2011 (over a year from now), IBM will no longer be providing support for Sametime 7 and Sametime 7.5. This should give you, our esteemed clients, plenty of time to upgrade. And remember, if you're on Software Maintenance (and most of you already are), there is no charge to upgrade*: begin planning your upgrade now by starting with Upgrade Central or Planning for migration from an earlier release in the Sametime Information Center.

IBM UC News Roundup: week of Aug 16
It was a varied week in UC news. As mentioned earlier this week, Doug Carolus and our friends over at NoJitter posted an excellent feature article on Sametime and Sametime Unified Telephony. We encourage you to read the post in detail, and I'm sure they would like to hear what you have to say (registration required for comments).
Recently in Australia, Alistair Rennie participated in a live panel and webcast discussing the future of email. ZDNet published a recap (along with a second post of photos) of the panel highlighting Alistair's remarks positioning IBM as a thought leader in integrating analytics and social capabilities into collaboration. This is important from a Unified Communications standpoint because the increasing importance of measuring business value of all enterprise investments extends to UC: adoption rates, actual ROI on the investments made, and identifying usage patterns that open up new opportunities for integrations and use cases.
And finally, Processor Magazine published an article on steps enterprises should take when evaluating unified communications and collaboration solutions, including VoIP and UC systems. In a sidebar to the main article, John Del Pizzo provides specific recommendations for enterprises evaluating UC solutions:
IBM's Del Pizzo stresses that enterprises should keep in mind their end goal when analyzing their VoIP and/or UC needs..."It's important for enterprises to first have a strong understanding of where their UC/VoIP challenges lie," says John Del Pizzo, program director for IBM's Unified Communication & Collaboration Software group. "From speaking with customers, these are commonly identified as slow business processes and response times; expensive travel; and complex, disparate technology platforms."

IBM UC News Roundup - week of Aug 9
Jacques Pavlenyi 1000002W2A firstname.lastname@example.com Tags:  roundup ucoms news uc 1,718 Visits
This week's IBM UC News roundup includes several articles on the heel of the CIO.com interview with Alistair Rennie we posted about earlier in the week. Reinforcing that story, FierceVoIP and Rethink Wireless published articles on IBM's unified collaborations strategy and offerings for the mobile market. Mobility is still very hot, with 4.1B mobile phone users worldwide (a 60% penetration) and an increasing percentage (although still small) of those are smart phones on higher-speed networks (ITU report from 2009). The effect of this shift to mobility on the way we work is already being felt.
A feature story in Australia's ARNnet focuses on the opportunities and challenges presented to IT teams when mobilizing an organization's workforce. In the article, IBM's Michael Handes discussing the benefits of social software in identifying knowledge workers and the future convergence of unified communications and mobility.
IT Jungle continued the coverage on the new features of Lotus Sametime 8.5.1, including support for Linux desktops, mobile phones, Web browsers, Notes, Outlook and Windows.
The Really Big News of the Week, IBM's intent to acquire Unica, might not at first blush seem related to Unified Communications. But with the increased market need for creating exceptional customer experiences, whether on the web or in all channels, comes a need for enterprises to not only analyze the traffic on their websites more effectively, but turn that insight into more meaningful and longer-lasting customer experiences. That includes the ability to interact with company representatives beyond e-mail or picking up the phone: rich text chat, audio and/or video chat, click-to-call, etc. Customer service representatives and the Call Center are only the first line of contact; they can't possibly answer every question, and customers are more than ever demanding faster (and smarter) responses. So more and more enterprises are going to be under more and more pressure to allow (encourage?) more and more of their employees to connect with customers directly. Unified Communications integrated with web portals and e-commerce seems to me at least a natural extension of the power and promise of UC beyond "traditional" information worker collaboration.
I don't know about you, but I for one will be glad to be rid of the all-too-deeply-buried webform "fill this out and we'll get back in touch with you shortly".

IBM UC News Roundup - week of Aug 2 2010
Jacques Pavlenyi 1000002W2A firstname.lastname@example.com Tags:  news blogs ucc press uc2 uc-news-roundup uc 2,659 Visits
As one of the SametimeBlog managers, I'm always looking for more conversation opportunities with you, our readers. So in addition to our Business Partner Tuesdays and Friday Funnies sections, today I'm introducing a new, hopefully weekly every Friday, the IBM UC News Roundup. We'll bring you a summary of IBM- and Unified Communications-related stories in the press and blogosphere, and add our own thoughts as well.
Hopefully you find this new section valuable. As always, we thank you for making us part of your regular reading, and looking forward to your comments, questions, and conversation.
Although not technically in the week of August 2, the big story, of course, is today's article in CIO.com, "IBM to Accelerate Mobile Unified Communications". IBM continues to see Unified Communications, and mobility, as very important components of the collaboration market, and it was nice for our General Manager, Alistair Rennie, and Rob Ingram, our senior offerings manager, to talk to CIO Magazine about these trends and where IBM plays. Don Van Doren, a principal with Unicomm Consulting, had some nice things to add to the article as well:
"Van Doren also ranks IBM as being far ahead in its social networking software for business with Lotus Connections tied into presence and with its capabilities for mining information within the corporate network to enhance finding the right people for specific tasks. "They've been working on this four or five years," he says. "Cisco is just starting to do it...[and] IBM is aligned to do well in battling its primary competitor, Microsoft, [says Don Van Doren]"
And Alistair also linked in the coming 4G deployments as well:
"Over time, as businesses deploy 4G handhelds, IBM will fully support mobile collaboration "on the mobile device of choice" and treat the collaboration features as services, not a stack of available features but an always-available set of tools, Rennie said."
There were two stories we followed this past week. Following a blog post from Gartner's Craig Roth on Project Northstar, IT Business Edge blogger Loraine Lawson has chosen to continue the discussion, focusing on Project Northstar as IBM's "Grand Theory." Overall, Lawson is supportive of the technology, particularly it's promise to integrate unified communications and other collaborative tools and capabilities. We, of course, whole-heartedly agree:
And this one is particularly nice, because it promises to integrate across unified communications, social software, mobile technology and rich media, Roth writes. IBM includes an even more exciting integration story among its five key NorthStar principles…"
UCStrategies published a podcast with IBM's Caleb Barlow discussing IBM Lotus Foundations and its integration with ShoreTel. A key element of providing unified communications to Small and Medium Business (SMB) is a focus on lower up-front investments in both capital and IT resources. The needs of SMBs might be similar to larger enterprises, but the resources are usually more constrained. The IBM Foundation for Smart Business program and products are exactly about that, and UC is definitely part of the mix:
...The Foundations appliance out of the box: it's a file server, print server, web server, mail server, anti-virus, anti-spam, firewall, VPN, you get the idea...
And that's this week's roundup.

Hello, I play a MMO browser-based game known as Star Wars Combine. Recently I discovered the military map sketch program known as MilSketch, this program allows you to quickly and easily overlay accurate unit symbols over a background image that can be anything you want, from an actual real-world map, self-drawn map or just a plain picture. I wish to use this program to help with the planning and co-ordination of units within the group I am associated with in Star Wars Combine (SWC).
Now, I initially thought I could just use SWC's galaxy, planetary and surface maps as background images in MilSketch and draw over the top of them, however when I tried it I found the images were too low-res to be applicable in the program. To this end I need to create individual higher-res versions of these maps for use in MilSketch. Thankfully all maps etc in SWC are based on a simple square-gride system using co-ordinates to identify specific locations be it the location of a star system on the galaxy map or a ground location loacted within a city on a planet. This means that as long as the 'grid' system is used my maps don't have to be exactly identical to the SWC ones as long as they are representative of the information at specific co-ordinates.
Having had a look at a few map-drawing programs I've been left feeling a bit overwhelmed as they are predominately set up to draw highly detailed maps rather than simple square-grid based representation of maps. My question therefore is what should I use to draw the maps I require? Please bear in mind that I require an easy way to label and use co-ordinates and a way to save the map as an image (most common formats supported) for use later in MilSketch.
Please find below a collection of images of 'maps' from the SWC universe to give you an idea of what I'm after. It's essentially the same as these but at a higher scale/resolution to be of more practical use in MilSketch:
This map demonstrates a planetary grid, each square is actually a 20x20square grid demonstrating either a ground location or a city.
This image demonstrates the grid on a star system-sized level in the game, again this resolution isn't large enough to be used in MilSketch.
Finally this image pulled from the Nav Computer on the game website demonstrates the grid on a galactic level. I am aware of possible limitations within map drawing programs but specific sectors (the areas with borders) can be zoomed in at and their star systems laid out in a grid. This would be more usable than a full galactic-level map within MilSketch.
Please feel free to leave comments on how I can copy the above maps into a larger scale for use in MilSketch.

Escondido farmers seeking greater subsidies
Proposal would increase sewer rates to help agriculture
ESCONDIDO Escondido's plan to hike water and sewer rates this winter became more complex recently when local farmers asked city officials to increase their subsidy.
Rate adjustments aimed at subsidizing agriculture have always been controversial in Escondido. Critics call the subsidies, which amount to more than $1 million a year, unfair to the city's 26,000 sewer and water customers not involved with farming.
Those customers suffered double-digit water rate increases last year, and they face 12 percent hikes in March, even without a greater subsidy for farmers.
Supporters say the subsidy is good business because local agriculture is an economic engine providing thousands of local jobs. They also say the farms make Escondido more visually appealing, and serve as a wildfire barrier because they surround much of the city.
Escondido's water customers have subsidized local farmers for decades. But the new proposal from agriculture takes the unusual step of asking sewer customers to also begin contributing, said Chris McKinney, Escondido's utilities director.
"It's a little bit unique," McKinney said. "To my knowledge, nothing like this has been done."
The reasoning behind the proposal is that local farms will be the No. 1 customer for recycled sewer water when Escondido completes a recycled water line in about two years. Recycled water, sometimes called "reclaimed," is not safe enough to drink, but it can be used for irrigation.
Sewer customers will benefit from farmers buying the city's recycled water, because that will reduce the amount of sewage the city must send into the ocean. If Escondido doesn't begin recycling some of its sewage, the city might have to spend as much as $300 million widening pipes that carry the wastewater to the ocean, city officials have said.
"Escondido growers need lower water costs, and the city needs customers for its recycled water," said Eddie Grangetto, president of a farming coalition called Escondido Growers for Agricultural Preservation. "It's a perfect match."
So the proposal says the city's sewer customers should subsidize farmers now, in exchange for the long-term benefits they will get when the farmers begin buying recycled water from the city's sewer system.
Councilwoman Olga Diaz, the council's most vocal agriculture booster, said the city should embrace the new proposal.
"Our farms are at a breaking point," she said. "Any more increases, and they will be reducing the acreage they farm."
Diaz also said the adjusted rates shouldn't be viewed as a subsidy.
"We need a preferential rate for farmers so they can survive and expand," Diaz said. "It's not a subsidy, it's an investment in the future."
Diaz said farmers are "doing the city a favor" by agreeing to buy recycled water two years from now, and that the city will regret it if many farms get plowed under before then.
Cities that are less rural than Escondido often struggle to find customers for their recycled water, relying primarily on golf courses, she said.
Mayor Sam Abed was less enthusiastic, but said he was hopeful the city would be able to do something for farmers when the council votes on the rate adjustments Feb. 13. "It's going to be a challenge for us, but we're going to do what we can to keep the rates for ag as low as possible."
McKinney, Escondido's utilities director, said the farmers' proposal might also face some legal hurdles. "The wastewater fund is not supposed to be in the business of subsidizing particular businesses," he said.
In addition, he said it could be dubious to base the sewer rate hike on future savings that sewer customers might reap on recycled water. "You're sort of making a guess," he said.

We've been paying close attention to the release of every detail from the hotly anticipated Versace x H&M collection, which lands in stores mid-November. Based on the images we've seen (like the supermodel-studded ad campaign shot by Mert & Marcus), the collection is pretty typical Versace: everything is tight, bright, studded, and '80s. However, now we have the first shots of the men's collection and apparently it's fucking ridiculous. Proceed with caution.
