I was wondering what is wrong in the following proof:
Proposition. Let $\{f_{n}\}$ be a sequence of integrable functions such that $f_{n}$ converges pointwise to a function $f$. Show that if:
$\lim \int |f_{n} - f| d\mu =0$ then $\int |f| d\mu = \lim \int |f_{n}| d\mu$.
Well I used the fact that $||f_{n}| - |f| | \leq |f_{n} - f|$ and integrating both sides and using the assumption that $\lim \int |f_{n} - f| d\mu =0$ I get the result. But I never used the fact that $f_{n}$ converges pointwise to $f$. Why do we need this assumption or what is wrong?

What do a small school in northern Uganda, an airstrip on the eastern shore of Kenya's famous Lake Turkana, an ocean spot hundreds of miles off the coast of Sierra Leone, and a site in Ethiopia just north of the Kenyan border all have in common? These were the locations where more than 100 TravelQuest travelers gathered to stand in the shadow of the Moon in November 2013. These are their stories.
Paul is an astronomy trip leader with TravelQuest International and has journeyed to Easter Island, China, Turkey, and other exotic locales to stand in the shadow of the Moon. He also leads TravelQuest's Iceland aurora-watching tours.

The Fall
by Albert Camus
Analysis: Genre
Philosophical Literature, Modernism
The Fall has been characterized as Modernist because it is so steeped in uncertainty and because Jean-Baptiste seems to defy any clear interpretation. Check out this passage:
Isn't it the most beautiful negative landscape? Just see on the left that pile of ashes they call a dune here, the gray dike on the right, the livid beach at our feet, and in front of us, the sea the color of a weak lye-solution with the vast sky reflecting the colorless waters. A soggy hell, indeed! Everything horizontal, no relief; space is colorless, and life dead. Is it not universal obliteration, everlasting nothingness made visible? No human beings, above all, no human beings! You and I alone facing the planet at last deserted! The sky is alive? You are right, cher ami. It thickens, becomes concave, opens up air shafts, and doses cloudy doors. Those are the doves. Haven't you noticed that the sky of Holland is filled with millions of doves […]? (4.2)
This, Jean-Baptiste's description of Amsterdam, could just as well be an account of his narrative, as many, many scholars have pointed out. It's a "negative landscape." "Life is dead." You and Jean-Baptiste are alone, facing a dismal and "deserted" "planet." The dove business even borders on the surreal, which reminds us that we are in a world that doesn't quite make sense, and there is a foggy uncertainty to this text in general. All of these elements are calling cards of Modernism. Works in this genre tend to emphasize the limitations of reason and the inherent "unknowability" of the world and everything in it. Clearly, this is not your traditional novel.
Now we can talk about philosophy in The Fall. Camus was a fan of philosophical literature; he would use fiction to expound his theories. This doesn't mean that Jean-Baptiste is arguing on behalf of Camus; sometimes the fictional characters serve as negative examples. Sometimes the lessons are ironic. Needless to say, it's a bit tricky to nail down the author's point of view. Still, we can identify in The Fall some classic Camus ideas.

Actress and former model Gabrielle Union admits "I took joy in their pain and tap danced on their misery" in a recent interview with ABC News correspondent Linsey Davis featured on Good Morning America (GMA), June 25, 2013. This admission led to the logical but sometimes rejected next step. Union changed her ways and gives credit to her fitness trainer and life coach, A. J. Johnson for her new attitude. Oprah Winfrey was so inspired by Union's story that she is airing a special Sunday on OWN-Black Women in Hollywood-to address issues facing black actresses.
Something that jumps out in Union's confession is the realization that although we cannot change any one else or how he or she thinks, we can change, correct, and mold-ourselves. Union's transformation illuminates a valued and often overlooked character trait, humility.
While humility is seen as a virtue in a religious context, many are still confused as to its true meaning and significance. According to Webster's dictionary, in theology humility consists of lowliness of mind; a deep sense of one's own unworthiness in the sight of God, self-abasement, penitence of sin and submission to the divine will.
Well jump over most of Webster's definition to the very end. Humility is best described as submission to God's divine will. True humility will prepare you for realization of what God's will is for you. The point is to get rid of self-will which only contributes to anxieties and troubles. Gabrielle Union appears to be on such a path.
Instead of thinking of oneself as lowly and sinful, you can become strengthened, graceful, and a dignified loving person by allowing God (Higher Power) to take over that self-will and finally allowing God to be in charge. And when the time comes, God will "lift you up in honor."

Much has been said in the past few days about the behavior of Detroit Tigers pitcher Armando Galarraga and umpire Jim Joyce teaching children about good sportsmanship.
While it is true that there is a lot to learn from this situation for the Bismarck youth that play at the new Scheel's Baseball Complex, we as parents can learn much from this situation as well.
With two outs in the ninth inning, Armando Galarraga was preparing to celebrate a very rare, perfect game. Cleveland Indians player, Jason Donaldson hit a grounder that was cleanly fielded by first baseman Miguel Cabrera, and he made an accurate throw to Galaragga who was covering the bag. The ball arrived in time, but Joyce called the runner safe.
Detroit fans, and the rest of the team were clearly disappointed. And even the umpire was distraught. "I just cost that kid a perfect game." he said in the umpires' locker room after the game.
And then, Jim Joyce, an umpire who knew he was going to have to endure days, if not weeks, months and years of criticism for a call he knew to be bad, did the very thing we as parents can learn from.
He admitted his mistake.
Joyce asked to speak to Galaragga after the game. Galaragga appreciated the gesture as he had just been denied what would have been the first perfect game in Detroit Tigers history.
"You don't see and umpire after the game come out and say, 'Hey, let me tell you I'm sorry,' " Galaragga said. "He felt really bad. He didn't even shower."
We can teach our kids all kinds of things from this situation: respect for authority, good sportsmanship, and not throwing a temper tantrum; but if we as parents cannot learn the larger lesson, then all of the lessons for our kids are lost.
As parents we must make calls as we see them, but acknowledge that we too are human and make mistakes. When we can model this humility and honesty to our children we all come out winners.

Covey is an indie folk band fronted by guitarist and vocalist Tom Freeman. With a harmony-driven, group vocal sound and ambient textures, the band formed at Berklee College of Music in February 2013. What makes Covey different? Passion. In high school, Freeman's music teacher told him that he should pursue music not because he was the best player but because he was the most passionate player. With Covey, he has found four other like-minded musicians that share his purpose: Jordan Rich on keys, Dillon Rovere on drums, Mike Kerr on lead guitar, and Michi Tassey with female vocals. The band is expected to release its debut EP, Haggerty (named after Freeman's high school teacher), in the spring of 2015.
A songwriter for nine years, Freeman's musical influences range from Nick Drake to Fleet Foxes to Mumford and Sons. Covey's music has been featured on the Berklee Internet Radio Network (BIRN) and Under the Gun Review, and has won BostInno's song of the week as well as the New England band of the month in Deli Magazine. Covey has opened for artists such as the Last Bison, High as a Kite, Gabriel Kahane, and Hozier.
Boston-based artist TASH is an up-and-coming singer-songwriter with an old soul. Her music restores bridges between the heart of urbanity and the depth of nature.

During high school, she accompanied legendary jazz and R&B greats such as Lew Soloff and Ernie Watts on both piano and voice, and Soloff told her, "Don't ever let anyone tell you to sing differently. Keep singing the way you sing."
Horan's own songs are mainly acoustic and folk based with lots of jazz influences. Her musical influences include but are not limited to her mother, Mary Horan, who is a jazz vocalist; Lady Gaga; Lily Allen; Josiah Leming; and the Arctic Monkeys.

Scooter Braun wannabes, get your contracts ready! Maria Aragon, the ten-year-old Canadian whose keyboard-and-vocal rendition of "Born This Way" caught the ear of Lady Gaga herself, made her television debut today on The Ellen DeGeneres Show:
Aragon has actually been singing on YouTube for three years—an early video features an a cappella mini-medley of Alicia Keys' "No One" and Rihanna's "Umbrella"—but she's only recently debuted her budding skills as a pianist. But she was an ideal guest for DeGeneres, who in addition to regularly featuring talented children has also been fascinated with "Born This Way."

I've posted previously about Bitcoin Friday, a one-day sale mimicking the popular U.S. post-Thanksgiving Black Friday sales famous for stampeding consumers, campers in the parking lots and of course some pretty tremendous deals. The whole thing took place just a few days ago and we've heard vague reports of its success from a number of sources, but thanks to Bitcoin Friday organizer and Coding In My Sleep sponsor Jon Holmquist (of Coinabul fame) I've got a long list of stats and quotes to quantify exactly what a success it was straight from the mouths of the participating merchants.
The general takeaway from most merchants seems to be that volume was nowhere near what many merchants would expect from a typical Black Friday sale, but relative to the normal volume these particular retailers and service providers are accustomed to, Bitcoin Friday was a resounding success that only stands to grow at a commensurate rate with Bitcoin itself.
Summations and opinions aside, let's hear what the merchants had to say:
Bitcoin Friday was a great success at WalletBit. With 50% off of our regular deposit rates of 0.89% we had a total of 97 transactions occur. We hope everyone had a chance to buy what they wanted and load up their wallets at a heavy discount.
-Adam Harding, WalletBit
Bitcoin Friday was a busy and successful day for BitPay and our merchants. BitPay processed a record number of 99 orders from midnight ET Friday to midnight ET Saturday, breaking our previous single-day record of 95 orders. Merchants like Bees Brothers, Private Internet Access, Bitcoin Coffee, and AllThingsLuxury saw good order volume all day long. Bitcoins usefulness for internet payments got a big boost forward with Bitcoin Friday.
-Tony Gallippi, BitPay
Coinabul had a noticeably increased amount of orders, as well as our biggest amount of units sold ever: 508 individual bars and coins (albeit 99% were silver items) It was undoubtably a huge success for us!
-Jon Holmquist, Coinabul
With the tremendous exposure from Bitcoin Friday, we earned 107 signups in roughly 48 hours through the promotion. This equates to nearly $2500 revenue and approximately $1000 in savings for our new customers. It really put into perspective just how big Bitcoin has become. We can't wait for next year's Bitcoin Friday!
-Andrew Lee, PrivateInternetAccess.com
I'd say Bitcoin Friday was wildly successful as far as I'm concerned. I had quite a few repeat customers place orders and had some people who told me that they were making their first-ever purchase with bitcoins.
My sales volume and revenue on Bitcoin Friday actually exceeded my combined totals for the last 3 months! (I don't necessarily do a lot of bitcoin sales…it's basically a slow and steady trickle).
I gave away 6 pairs of our new "ankle socks". Free socks are going to Texas, Czech Republic, Canada, New Hampshire, Wisconsin, and Washington. Customers saved a combined $190.
My sales for the day totalled over $800 not including shipping charges.
Customers "came from" as far away as: Sweden, Spain, Czech Republic, Netherlands, Canada, Austria, Slovenia, and Australia.
-David, Grass Hill Alpacas
We had record sales at our online store (over 300 euros) and we had double the amount of traffic compared to regular days. The traffic at our main site wasn't affected much by Bitcoin Friday but our local exchange had more orders than on any other Friday thus far (it's usually a fairly quiet day). We had over 30 buy/sell orders, thousands of euros in total.
-Henry Brade, Bittiraha.fi
I received six orders, which may not sound like a lot, but it's actually a huge increase because I usually just receive around 5-6 orders a month! So I'd say this was a great success! I was actually a bit overwhelmed, so I ran out of stock for my most popular items pretty fast, meaning that I might've sold even better if I was better prepared. Pure website traffic shows a 500% increase over normal for bitcoin friday.
-Gitle Mikkelsen, BitLasers.com
Bitcoin Friday was great for us! We kicked it off by driving down to Philly to host a Bitcoin table at the biggest regional conference for libertarian students in history. The students loved it, and ran the gamut from Bitcoin experts to many who had never heard the word before. Invariably, they'd ask what Bitcoin could be used to buy, and Bitcoin Friday really came in handy answering that.
The moment the sale started we sold a pack of strings for Bitcoin. While we didn't expect a lot of actual Bitcoin sales, since we sell a very niche range of products, our web traffic doubled on Friday, and this was entirely due to Bitcoin Friday.
I'm pretty psyched about this, and I'm looking forward to this getting out of control by next year.
-Josh, StompRomp
We had our website grand opening on BitcoinFriday and on the first day of sales we got over $200 in orders, 100% of the orders included at least 1 BitcoinFriday Special, We couldn't have done it without BitcoinFriday, It was really great to see so much of the Bitcoin community work together to create a internet wide sale
-Zapsoda, Bitchocolate.com
Overall I would rate bitcoin friday a huge success. We receive the most bitcoin sales in one day ever, it increased awareness of bitcoin merchant and what we are offering and it brought the community together. All Things Luxury will be taking part again next year. That is a fact.
-Nathan McDonald, All Things Luxury
Shire Silver saw more than double the normal visits to our website during Bitcoin Friday, and even though we had turned off all the payment options except bitcoins, we got 4 times as many orders as we usually do. We're definitely interested in doing this again next year.
-Ron Helwig, Shire Silver
Sales increase from average day: 11x
Increase in traffic from average day: 3x
-Patrick Testagrossa, BitcoinBlaster
In my mind, the most interesting of all these is probably the combined breaking of BitPay's previous order record (as set by BFL's ASIC release) and the stunning success of WalletBit. Lacking complete statistics from every participating merchant, it seems that the combined stats from payment processors would speak most clearly to Bitcoin Friday's overall success. Perhaps now that we've got a permanent date set, BFL can time their next ASIC release to coincide and really break some records.

Selfies are nothing new, but when Jennifer Lopez posts one of herself on the Internet, it's buzz worthy news, and that's putting it lightly. J.Lo posted a bathtub selfie from her cell phone ahead of her 45th birthday Thursday. Many would agree that soap suds and rose petals in a bathtub never looked so good, compliments of the sexy "American Idol" judge, citing a July 25 Huffington Post report.
A Jennifer Lopez selfie is always a welcome addition to the crowed space on social media, and her smartphone snaps are always tastefully done. Even in light of the naughty thoughts that are conjured up when gazing at a picture of the amazing entertainer in a tub, the photo is a class act.
J.Lo's selfie pic (shown here) in a bathtub was posted on her account with the following caption:
Soaking it all in... #birthdaygirl #itsmyparty #quietbeforethestorm
The image of the popular singer-turned "Idol" judge looks like cover art from Vogue or Cosmopolitan magazines. The caption is short, but Lopez lets the stunning image do the talking. Enough said, right?
Later, Jenny From the Block joined about 100 of her friends in Southampton, NY at a joint and celebrated her special day like a boss. On hand to help J.Lo celebrate the big 4-5 were among the biggest names in Hollywood: Leah Remini, French Montana and girlfriend Khloe Kardashian, Maksim Chmerkovskiy, Andy Cohen, and Fat Joe, to name a few.
Jenny's ex boyfriend, Casper Smart, sent Lopez a bday shout-out on Twitter:
Happppppppy Birthday to the most Beautiful lil bear in the world!!!! May all your wishes come true!! @JLo http://t.co/iydh9jv0Z8
— Beau Casper Smart (@BEAUcasperSMART) July 24, 2014
The guest of honor posed for a number of photographs that later showed up on social media accounts. However, it is the J.Lo bathtub selfie that's commanding the entire buzz today.
Whether she's draped in that famous green Versace dress, clad in body-hugging denims, sporting nude leotards, or a rocking hip-cinching skirt, Jennifer Lopez knows how to make a statement and strike a fierce pose like no other.
Meanwhile, J to the Lo is gearing up for another season of judging singing talent. The latest news is that fellow judges, Harry Connick, Jr. and Keith Urban are returning for another go.
Despite the panel's popularity, "Idol" is still in a ratings slump. No longer is "AI" commanding the lion's share of viewers. Instead, shows like "The Voice" and "America's Got Talent" are taking over.
Compared to Lady Gaga's sharing of a naked bathtub selfie after her puking performance at SXSW, J.Lo's bathtub selfie is tame.

Ty Conklin gets the start in net for Detroit against the San Jose Sharks tonight as Chris Osgood is battling an injured groin.
To avoid the Red Wings needing to make a roster move, Osgood will back-up Conklin. If the team had needed to call up Jimmy Howard or Daniel Larsson from the Grand Rapids Griffins a player would have had to have been moved off of the Detroit roster.
Should Osgood's injury keep him out longer he could be moved to the long-term injured reserve which would mean he would have to miss at least ten games. The only other current option for the Wings would be to move another player, either through waivers or a trade.
Wings not looking horrible so far, not looking fantastic either.
I'll have to bolt shortly for a soccer game, I'll catch up on DVR later.
I'm gonna agree with Mickey, that's two goals Nabokov should have had. Merry Christmas, Nabby, thanks for the gifts.
And now I'm out.

Can't wait till weekend after next when I and the wife fly up to Detroit to catch the game on the 30th and then go to Chicago .... scoooooorrreee!!!! BOOOOOYYAAAA X2!!!!!.....
to catch the Winter Classic.
Damn.... wish I could catch this on the teli
Wowza! Hossa makes it 3-0.
Wow, so close to missing the post.
I wonder where Nabokov went tonight. Not his best game.
And Datsyuk makes it 5-0!
Golly I love this game! <3
I thought it'd be somewhat close, too. But now I'm really happy it's not

What is the meaning of "judgmental comments" and where can it be used?

This question is too basic; it can be definitively and permanently answered by a single link to a standard internet reference source designed specifically to find that type of information.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
A judgmental comment is one that is directed in a personal way about someone's behavior, life choices, attitudes, and so on.
The judgmental comment in that case, might have been something like:
Here's the sense in which it's used, from The Free Dictionary:
judg·men·tal (jj-mntl) adj. 1. Of, relating to, or dependent on judgment: a judgmental error. 2. Inclined to make judgments, especially moral or personal ones: a marriage counselor who tries not to be judgmental.
The second entry is the one used most often regarding comments made by others.
By the way, if someone ever accuses you of being judgmental, the best response is simply to ask them: "Is there something wrong with being judgmental?" Which puts them in a bind, because to answer that question affirmatively, they have to make a judgmental statement. Enjoy.
Judgmental comments, often try to generalize conclusions from limited experience to almost all of them. Example:
Here, though there is no clear evidence that the person, referred here, is 'into' drugs still a conclusion is made about his drug habits based on conclusions about his friend circle.
Of course, judgmental comments need not always have negative colors about them, they can also be positive:

The Doors R-Evolution - an interview with John Densmore in Goldmine Magazine was published, while it revolves around January's DVD release of "The Doors R-Evolution" Densmore does get into some future projects he's involved in. While there's still nothing solid about a reunion with Robby Krieger for a Ray Manzarek tribute concert, Densmore did mention the possibility of a Black Friday or Record Store Day release of a "Ghost Song" from an "American Prayer" and the Peter LaFarge cover of "Drums" Densmore did a couple of years ago (see related articles below). The most interesting thing about this release is Densmore is hoping for Shepard Fairey to do the jacket cover of the release. You can read the full interview "Drummer John Densmore Revisits his Past with The Doors" at Goldmine Magazine.
Shaman's Blues - Denise Sullivan's book "Shaman's Blues" is back on track and has a September 1 release date. "Shaman's Blues" is about the "art and influences of Jim Morrison and The Doors" we'll have a review of it about a week prior to its release. If you would like to pre-order the book you can at Amazon.

I have a CentOS 5.5 server that is using 1 of the 2 on-board network ports (eth0) and 2 PCI NICs (eth2 & eth3) - each has it's own IP on a different subnet with different gateway on a different VLAN. The IPs on eth0 & eth2 are working fine, but the IP on eth3 is not responding to requests including ICMP, though it does show as active on the switch and if I ping the IP locally on the server it does work.
I am guessing this some kind of IP routing issue with Linux, maybe it's trying to respond to eth3 requests on eth2 or eth0 instead of eth3?
Hopefully someone has some suggestions for me please?

Diseases of the Eye That Cause...
As Frequent Travelers Go, Viruses Are...
Widespread Adoption of Biomarkers Has Been...
From our July 1 issue: Three-Dimensional...
Molecular cytology diagnostics company Veracyte raised $28 million in a series B round of financing. The firm says the new investment represents a key milestone toward the expected launch of its first product for thyroid cancer diagnosis during 2010. The fundraising was led by Domain Associates, and Veractye's founding investors also participated.
Veracyte's thyroid product has been developed using whole-genome analysis tools. It is designed to classify indeterminate thyroid nodules accurately as either benign or suspicious for malignancy. The test is currently being validated through large-scale prospective trials across the U.S.
Veracyte's lung cancer diagnostic program is at the early biomarker discovery stage. The firm says this pipeline project also hinges on the whole-genome approach to identify molecular profiles that can distinguish between benign and malignant disease.

Rating: PG-13
Duration: 1hr 40min
Max "The King of Alibis" Burdett and his beautiful accomplice Lola have come to Paradise Island in the Bahamas, fresh off their final big score in which they lifted the second of the three famous Napoleon diamonds. With their financial future set, the couple is ready to relax and enjoy their hard-earned riches. But Stan, the FBI agent who has spent years in dogged but failed pursuit of Max, refuses to believe that his nemesis is actually calling it quits. He thinks that Max and Lola are actually plotting to steal the third Napoleon diamond--one of the three largest non-flawed diamonds in the world--, which is coincidentally scheduled to arrive on Paradise Island as part of a touring cruise ship exhibition. Since he has no jurisdiction in the Caribbean country, Stan teams with a local cop and sets out to catch the sly Max and Lola in the act, while at the same time a local gangster has his own plans for the diamond. When the longtime adversaries meet up in paradise, Max quickly turns the tables and befriends the frustrated detective, showing him that Paradise Island has no shortage of pleasures to offer. But in order for Stan to figure out exactly what Max and Lola are up to, he will have to navigate all the twists and double-crosses of an action-packed story of friendship, suspicion and thievery

Fear of Fireworks
These days firework night seems to last for weeks and fireworks are increasingly used at other times of year as well. Fun for the people watching the fireworks but no fun for dogs with a phobia. Looking after a stressed out dog can be very upsetting and prevention is the best cure here. Follow Dr Mugford's top tips for a peaceful and happy dog and a relaxed owner. Take the time to prepare your dog well in advance of the night resolving your dog's fear of fireworks will take time and preparation.
- Talk to your vet, they may wish to prescribe a DAP diffuser or medication that works better if started well in advance of firework night.
- Try using a CD of firework noises to accustom your dog to the sound of fireworks, play regularly to your dog, start at a very low volume initially and gradually increase.
On the Night
- Try to stay calm yourself, if you are anxious your dog is likely to pick up on your mood and become even more fearful.
- Keep your dog in his usual routine, this should help to make him feel relaxed and confident.
- Keep your dog busy during the day so that he is ready to relax in the evening.
- Make sure your dog has somewhere he can go that feels safe eg. A dog bed, a favourite hiding place.
- Provide toys such as a stuffed Kong (link to company of animals) to keep him distracted.
- Well in advance of the fireworks starting put on the TV or some music, close the curtains and put on the lights.
When the Fireworks Start
Stay calm and try to ignore any fearful behaviour. Too much reassurance can have the opposite effect, reinforcing the behaviour and making your dog think that he is right to be scared.
Dr Roger Mugford, The Company of Animals
If you are concerned that your dog is behaving strangely or having a funny turn please use the Dog symptom guide to find out if you need to call the vets.

PURPOSE: To develop a software solution that supports management and clinical review of patient data from electronic medical records databases or claims databases for pharmacoepidemiological drug safety studies. METHODS: We used open source software to build a data management system and an internet application with a Flex client on a Java application server with a MySQL database backend. The application is hosted on Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud. This solution named Phynx supports data management, Web-based display of electronic patient information, and interactive review of patient-level information in the individual clinical context. This system was applied to a dataset from the UK General Practice Research Database (GPRD). RESULTS: Our solution can be setup and customized with limited programming resources, and there is almost no extra cost for software. Access times are short, the displayed information is structured in chronological order and visually attractive, and selected information such as drug exposure can be blinded. External experts can review patient profiles and save evaluations and comments via a common Web browser. CONCLUSIONS: Phynx provides a flexible and economical solution for patient-level review of electronic medical information from databases considering the individual clinical context. It can therefore make an important contribution to an efficient validation of outcome assessment in drug safety database studies.

Why change just isn't that hard
Earlier this morning, I tuned into a new podcast I've just started following and heard them talking about how change is soooo hard.
The recent 30th anniversary of the Mac reminded me just how easy it is to change behaviour when it's well motivated. ┬Ā
Think about it. ┬ĀWhen you first learned how to type there was no going back to writing by hand. You could get your ideas out faster and the result was cleaner. ┬ĀI'm not saying there aren't things that you want to write by hand – personal cards and letters, diaries, reminders to yourself, but generally there's no going back.
When you got your first computer – even with all the technical challenges and you know there were many – there was no going back to that clunky typewriter and carbon copies. ┬Ā
And, as the technology improved over the years we've all made the transition without batting an eye. ┬ĀIf you still have doubts think of all the technology you use today that you didn't use 5 years ago [or even last month] and how it's changed your behaviour. ┬ĀAnd, it's not only about technology. ┬Ā
Nearly a decade ago, I looked around while I was walking around my neighbourhood and noticed a startling thing. I saw older people who were physically active and those who were confined to walkers and wheel chairs. Although some of those who were incapacitated were there because of debilitating diseases, many of them were there for what were lifestyle choices. It was a moment of truth for me. Which did I want to be? ┬Ā
I ┬Āknew which direction I was going in. ┬ĀHaving spent years as a couch potato – occasionally going on a diet or for a walk – I was starting to wake up with aches and pains. ┬ĀI'd┬Āwatched┬Āmy my weight slide up and up. I decided that it was time to start training and then about 6 years ago I joined Weight Watchers and I've never looked back. ┬Ā┬ĀIt didn't happen over night, but┬ĀI lost over 40 pounds. I started a routine of yoga and running that I have learned to love. My lifestyle and fitness level today aren't anything like they were a decade ago. ┬ĀIt's been a major and sustainable change.
Why? ┬ĀWell, when change is well motivated it's easy.
Where does that leave those of us who have seen one failed change management process after another? ┬ĀIt leaves us with the realization that no matter how well the change was communicated,┬Āno matter how many times people were told they needed to change or disaster would ensue,┬Āno matter how much was spent to market the change and tell them all the benefits, the change was not well motivated from the perspective of those who were being asked to change.┬Ā
If you have any doubt, check this out.
With thanks to a colleague of mine┬ĀTom Hendrikson, a fellow┬Āstudent┬Āof the┬Ā"mechanics, orientation and spirit of the creative process"┬Āand Chief Breakthrough Officer at┬ĀSixsense Strategy Group. I tuned into the podcast just moments after we'd hung up after a conversation about change and what motivates change. Nice contrast! ┬ĀAnd thanks Tom for reminding me about this great video. ┬Ā

Two leadership lessons from 'Gravity'
It's rare that Michael and I actually go to the movie theatre. ┬ĀBut this past long weekend that's what we did. ┬ĀHaving heard rave reviews about 'Gravity' it seemed the right thing to do on a rainy fall holiday Monday. ┬ĀSo, off we went to see it in IMAX 3D. ┬ĀWow! ┬ĀAnd, wow!
And in the midst of the wow communication, or the lack of it, plays a critical role in the plot. ┬ĀSo, without giving anything away two lessons:
- When communication fails big – as in global failure of communication technology – it's bad. ┬ĀReally, really bad. ┬ĀAnd, we are vulnerable whether we're astronauts or communication professionals. ┬ĀYou need a back up plan. ┬ĀAnd maybe another. Do you have yours?
- When communication technology fails, even in the high tech world of outer space exploration, you still need basic information. ┬ĀDoes our hero reach for an iPad? ┬ĀNo. She reaches for manuals – yes, three ring binders. ┬ĀTechnical manuals with coloured covers that instantly tell you what they are for, coloured tabs for the different sections, simple images and little text. Do you have yours?
You might want to take a lesson from "Gravity" and prepare for anything. ┬ĀBecause when anything happens,┬Ā'flawless' communication is more important than ever. ┬Ā

"I am not a number!"
Well, it turns out you are. ┬ĀLots and lots of numbers.
Numbers can be used to diminish and dehumanize. Survivors of the holocaust concentration camps living in Montreal bear the evidence of their experience; numbers tattooed on their inner arm.
As recently as 1996 when the last residential school in Canada closed, First Nations People were stripped of their names and given numbers. "I'm 31" was an opening line to a testimony I heard┬Āwhile attending the Truth and Reconciliation Commission hearings here in the spring.┬ĀAnd this legacy lives on. "I'm from treaty 5, bordering on 6". No community name, just numbers.
Or, numbers can be used to celebrate and encourage┬Ā– sports sweater numbers are so associated with particular players that they get retired┬Ā[e.g. The Hab's Jean Beliveau's #4], being named "number 1" , milestone birthdays.
Or, numbers can just be the backdrop to our lives. I remember getting my Social Insurance Number. It was a right of passage. Now I could finally go out and get a real job. No more babysitting for me.
When I got that job one of the first things that happened was that I was assigned an employee number. Now I had all the rights and responsibilities of an employee.
Numbers are still an important part of my life: phone numbers, apartment numbers, passwords [OK numbers and letters], credit card numbers, health insurance numbers, invoice numbers, postal codes, GST/PST numbers, cheque numbers, bank card numbers. Lots and lots of numbers. Nothing special.

Humility, respect & a customer experience to remember
Michael and I love to cook. Over the years our beautiful German knives had started to show it. No amount of sharpening was going to bring those blades back. And a cook without functioning knives is no cook at all.
So, off we went with a bundle of knives to visit L'├ēmoulier a very small – not much bigger than a walk in closet – store that specializes in knives. We walked through the door into a different world. A world where Japanese knives of all sizes and shapes line the walls. ┬ĀThey are beautiful and we can't help but feel that our once majestic knives had never compared.
We were greeted on that cold and rainy November day by the owner. A very young man who very obviously loved knives. He was very knowledgeable and proud of his collection. Many of the knives are designed with him by Japanese artisans for the store. ┬ĀThe prices were staggering $300 to $1,500 or more. One look. One touch. One try and you knew why.
We dumped our lowly knives on the counter. He smiled. And lovingly took each one in his hand. Rather than trying to sell us on new – and trust me Michael and I can be persuaded on these kinds of things – he estimated how much it would cost to sharpen our knives. It was a lot, probably the price of one of the original knives, but what's a cook without a knife, and we'd get our 5 knives back 'better than new'.
A week later we come back to see how our humble patients had done. The owner, who by the way I now know is Guillaume de L'Ilse [see here for more on him, his knives and his store], welcomed us warmly and disappeared into the back of the store. ┬ĀHe returned a few minutes later with a small package wrapped like a beautiful gift in a colourful tea towel: our knives. ┬ĀHe gently unrolled the towel and presented each knife to us now gleaming and sharp. He was right they were 'better than new'.
That was over two years ago.
Very rarely a customer experiences is just so right that you are somehow deeply touched by them. This was one. Thanks Guillaume.
Worth considering what it was about this experience that turned knife sharpening into such a memorable moment.

The #1 failure of internal communicators
I've been struck in the past few weeks by the number of times I see communications go wrong because of one thing. Little or no thought was┬Āgiven to the "audience" for the communication. No one is asking:
- if or how the 'news', information, change will impact them;
- what they need or want to know from their point of view;
- how they might feel about it; and
- what they might do with it, or, even
- what the communicator wants them to do with it.
It's as if communicators are on automatic pilot. ┬ĀNo human empathy or understanding at all.
Unfortunately, internal communicators are especially guilty. ┬ĀAfter all of the executive inputs, edits and reviews it's very easy not to remember who you're trying to reach.
"All employees" is often the answer. ┬ĀBut not all employees are created equal when you're doing internal communication. ┬ĀSome will be affected directly by the thing you're communicating, some indirectly and some not at all.
Understanding these differences and framing the communication based on impact is one way of increasing meaning. ┬ĀAnd, today it's something we don't do very well. ┬ĀIt's got to be the #1 failure of internal communicators. What do you think?

The "4 enablers of employee engagement" are really 1
According to "Engage for success", a government initiative designed to increase employee engagement across the UK, ┬Āthere are┬Āfour enablers of employee engagement:
- Visible, empowering leadership providing a┬Āstrong strategic narrative┬Āabout the organisation, where itŌĆÖs come from and where itŌĆÖs going.
- Engaging managers┬Āwho focus their people and give them scope, treat their people as individuals and coach and stretch their people
- There is┬Āemployee voice┬Āthroughout the organisation, for reinforcing and challenging views, between functions and externally, employees are seen as central to the solution.
- There is organisational┬Āintegrity –┬Āthe values on the wall are reflected in day to day behaviours. There is no ŌĆśsay ŌĆōdoŌĆÖ gap
Each of the four enablers is, at its core, a question of communication:┬ĀThe ability of leaders, managers and employees to communicate in a way that involves.┬Ā
The UK figures they're losing┬Ā┬Ż25.8bn┬Ā[that would be┬Ā$40.25 billion!]┬Āin GDP annually. ┬ĀWhy? ┬ĀEmployee engagement. Or rather the lack of engaged employees. Now if that doesn't wake business and government up I don't know what will.
Employees want to go to work to do a good job. ┬ĀThey want their work to matter. They want to feel involved. ┬ĀThey aren't. Or they aren't enough.┬ĀShouldn't encouraging and building the capacity to communicate be a priority? If not, why isn't it?

Focusing on the right things is not enough
Focusing seems to be the theme of the week.
First I read about how Canadian Tire managed to grow profits while focusing on reducing energy consumption.
Then, I heard Dr. Hartley Stern, Executive Director, Jewish General Hospital speak at the Canadian Club yesterday about how we as Quebecers should be focused not just on access to medical care, but also on cost and quality. He went on to talk about how his hospital is tracking and publishing results and lessons learned on their website as a key part of thier strategy to improve care, reduce cost and improve quality. This is a radical new approach to health care in Quebec.
And, today, I read "Does Management Really Work?". The answer: Yes. Where they have the right focus.
But, focusing on the right things is not enough.
Consistent and reliable communication is essential in each of these stories. Communication that makes the invisible visible. The un-understandable understandable. The meaningless meaningful.
How are you and your organization doing on focusing on the right things and then communicating in the right way?
A little focus – hocus pokus…

Employee involvement. It's not magic!
It's coming up on that time of year again. Year end results. Launching new strategies and plans – for brands, for products, for businesses. The big employee event. And, maybe an employee campaign.
A recent article in the Globe and Mail, "A question of engagement: do you employees want to come to work?" got me thinking about this. According to the report, 67% of Canadian employees aren't engaged. They would rather be somewhere else, doing something else than coming to work. The article goes on to make two important points:
- An engaged workforce isn't necessarily a happy workforce. [think about nurses – super engaged, but given their working conditions not so happy]
- An engaged workforce isn't necessarily a productive workforce. [it may be a contributing factor, but just one of many]
- in knowing what they're expected to do and how that work contributes to the overall 'customer' experience
- in having what they need – information, tools, workspaces – to make it easy for them to do their jobs well
- by developing leaders that know how to listen and to respond as well as to tell and motivate.

Your reception area. Your brand?
The shocking thing is that with all our talk about brands and brand experience, building entrances and reception areas are somehow forgotten and very often completely out of sync. ┬ĀSince these may be the first, and sometimes only, thing key stakeholders experience of our organizations in the brick and mortar world, it's pretty surprising that this discrepancy is between the reality of the experience and the espoused brand experience is so common.
Lately I've been onsite at new and potential clients and I've been struck by it over and over again.
A pharmaceutical company that prides itself on customer care with a reception of icey glass. ┬ĀAnd, another where the security system [monitored from New Jersey] was a remnant of days when they were manufacturing not just marketing. In otherwords, more secure than Fort Knox.
I've seen reception desks without receptionist. ┬ĀThey were rightsized five downsizings ago, but the desk remains as a reminder of the past or is it a hopeful sign of the future? ┬ĀWhatever it is it probably doesn't reflect what millions of brand building dollars has worked so hard to build.
I recently visited a b2b's global head office where I was greeted by a security guard. Once you get into reception there are nice leather chairs and a wall of elevators. ┬ĀNo clue about what the company you're visiting does. OK, this may not be entirely fair since this company is sharing a building with another big tenant, but even once you get to the inner sanctum, it's all still pretty anonymous except for the bright colours, the odd poster and walls of glass doors.
So what does it look like when it's done right? ┬ĀAt a minimum, your reception area would give people an idea of what you do and what you represent. ┬ĀAnd at their best they would be a living breathing reflection of your brand experience in all its elements.
I once did a piece of work at Nike's head office in Portland, Oregon. ┬ĀIt was an amazing experience in many ways, but one thing that struck me at the time and still sticks with me is how they managed to express their brand before I even got out of the car in the parking lot.
Every element spoke to the vision they have for athletes. ┬ĀThe building was low and had a columned walkway leading from the parking to the reception. ┬ĀIn front of each column was a bust of an elite athlete that had represented Nike and that Nike had designed equipment for. ┬ĀThis was a place that worshipped high performance and served elite athletes.
Inside, reception was simple – basketball court flooring, floor to ceiling windows looking out on a track and the occasional 'athlete' [mostly employees out for a run or testing equipment] running around a beautiful lake. Woods and mountains behind that. ┬ĀAfter this view that spoke of healthy outdoors, the stairs were the main feature of the reception [not banks of elevators, though they must have been there somewhere]. And, on the walls, signed shirts and equipment with images of elite athletes wearing that same equipment.
By the time I got this far, I felt the aspiration of every Nike employee for elite sport and high performance, and knew what that meant for their customers – you and me – and I knew I wanted to be part of it as a supplier and as a customer. ┬ĀThat's a reception!
How does your reception tell your story? ┬ĀWhat experience do people that enter your doors have of your organization? How does that compare with what you want them to experience?

I got into the movies free this time around. When I got out of the theater, there was a blood mobile giving away a free movie ticket for a donation. A pint of blood and a couple puncture wounds later, I'm all lined up to see another film for free next week.
THE PREMISE: Doctor Parnussus (Christopher Plummer) and Mr. Nick (Tom Waits) are in an eternal contest to see who can win over the most souls. Mr. Nick using temptation and Dr. Parnussus using imagination. Dr. Parnussus comes across Tony (Heath Ledger) hanging from a bridge in a noose and inducts him into his traveling brigade. The current contest is to see who can win over five souls in two days. The wager is loftier than ever before.
THE AESTHETICS: It was almost a dream to see this many great actors participating in such a bizarre film. Jude Law, Johnny Depp and Colin Farrel all pitched in to complete the scenes of the late Heath Ledger. The MVP in all of this is a tie between Tom Waits and Verne Troyer. Waits has the voice and the pencil thin mustache to come across as a snake oil sales man. I was surprised to see Troyer have a solid performance after spending so much time as the butt of jokes in the Austin Powers' movies.
The writing is spot on until the third act. Then it because muddled as you have no idea who you're suppose to be cheering for towards the end. It's almost a betrayal because you spend three quarters of the movie adoring certain characters and then the movie tells you they're complete slime without ever really telling you why. Despite falling apart in the third act, the visuals are astounding from start to finish. Something that Terry Gilliam has a gift for. More so than Peter Jackson.
THE SUBTEXT: At one point, Dr. Parnussus moans about how nobody to hear his stories anymore. This is probably the same way Terry Gilliam feels. His career his sputtered out as of late and studios are always trying to take away his creative freedom. Terry Gilliam is Doctor Parnussus.
THE FINAL GRADE: There's a lot to love about this film but everything goes completely overboard in the last thirty minutes. I can't help but wonder what it was they were trying to do. If you're a fan of Terry Gilliam, Heath Ledger, fantasy, or prime art direction than have fun with this one. My Grade: B+
I have no idea what to see my next time out. Depends on how masochistic I'm feeling. If it's a lot then I'm seeing Legion.

O.J. Simpson's taxes are overdue, and the IRS is looking for nearly $180,000 from the fallen football star. Unfortunately for the convicted felon, he is still cooling his heels in a Nevada prison for " ... kidnapping, armed robbery and other charges from a 2007 Las Vegas incident," according to TMZ. As if that wasn't bad enough for the accused killer, who was found not guilty of murdering ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ronald Goldman in 1994, the bank foreclosed on his Florida home and he owes millions of dollars to the Brown and Goldman families stemming from a wrongful death civil suit he lost in 1997.
According to Celebrity Net Worth, O.J. Simpson has a net worth of $750,000. If that figure is accurate, then he should have little difficulty paying the $179,435.07 that he allegedly owes to the IRS. His federal tax debt accumulated from the years 2007 through 2010, years that he spent incarcerated in the Lovelock Correctional Center in Nevada.
O.J. Simpson's taxes are apparently not a top priority for the 65-year-old former athlete, actor and television producer. He is serving a minimum nine years without parole out of a thirty-three year sentence. However, there may be some good news for the athlete. According to USA Today, a Nevada judge agreed on Oct. 19, 2012 to " ... reopen the armed robbery and kidnapping case against O.J. Simpson to determine if the former football star was so badly represented by his lawyers that he should be freed from prison and get another trial."

The most common reasons why you can't see other computers on your network are that your computer is not connected to the network or that network discovery is disabled. The sections below will help you try to fix these and other, less common problems.
This can occur for two reasons:
Your computer is not connected to the network. If your computer is not connected to the network, the Network folder appears empty, even if there are other computers and devices on the network. To solve the problem, connect to that network or set up a new network. If you're having problems connecting to a network, go to Network connection problems in Windows on the Windows website.
Open Connect to a Network by clicking the network icon ( or ) in the notification area.
Network discovery is blocking you from seeing other computers and devices. If the network discovery setting on your computer is set to Off, you won't see other computers and devices on the network. To change your network discovery setting, follow these steps:
Open Advanced sharing settings by clicking the Start button , and then clicking Control Panel. In the search box, type network, click Network and Sharing Center, and then, in the left pane, click Change advanced sharing settings.
Click Turn on network discovery, and then click Save changes.
If you're prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
It might take several minutes for computers running previous versions of Windows to be discovered and become visible in the Network folder, especially if your network contains more than one workgroup.
We recommend that all computers be in the same workgroup. If you must use multiple workgroups, make sure that each workgroup contains a computer that has file sharing enabled and network discovery turned on.
Here are some things to try:
On the computer running Windows XP, check the workgroup name and then compare it to the workgroup name on the computers running Windows 7. If the workgroup names don't match, change the names so that all of the computers on the network have the same workgroup name.
Click Start, click Control Panel, click Performance and Maintenance, and then click System.
Click the Computer Name tab.
The workgroup name is displayed. To change the workgroup name, click Change.
The workgroup name is displayed under Computer name, domain, and workgroup settings. To change the workgroup name, click Change settings.
If you're prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
In the System Properties dialog box, click the Computer Name tab, and then click Change.
In the Computer Name/Domain Changes dialog box, type the new workgroup name in the Workgroup box, and then click OK.
For more information about networking computers running Windows XP or other versions of Windows, see Networking home computers running different versions of Windows.

John McCain's Free Media Pass
March 26th, 2008 4:20 am | by Marc Gallagher | Published in Election, Foreign Policy, John McCain, Media, Philosophy, Politics | Comments Off
Apparently, I'm not the only one noticing John McCain's free pass by the main stream media. Matt Welch the editor-in-chief of Reason Magazine authored an article for the New York Post eloquently describing the very same thing.
For those of us who have been writing critically about John McCain over the years, keeping tabs on the 2008 presidential campaign through the media is a bit like getting your war news via Saddam Hussein's old information minister: The street names may be right, but the big picture looks funny. "No other modern politician has received as much favorable press as John McCain has in the past decade," write (plainly irritated) David Brock and Paul Waldman in "Free Ride: John McCain and the Media." "The rules are simply different for McCain."
Boy, are they. Though he flip-flops and prevaricates like any politician, McCain all but has the phrase "straight talker" tattooed on his skull-plate. A lifetime Beltway insider and third-generation naval officer with an heiress wife and an heiress mother is still referred to, without irony, as a "Man of the People." And though his heavily interventionist governing philosophy, both at home and abroad, is spelled out in his five easy-to-find books, he continues to receive mash notes from newspapers like the Des Moines Register for being a man who, because "he knows war," would be "reluctant to start one."
Welch is certainly an authority when it comes to John McCain. He authored, "McCain: The Myth of a Maverick", which examines the McCain phenomenon in depth.
If McCain were actually researched by each voter it is hard to believe his opponent would not win in a landslide.

The Baltimore Orioles begin a three-game series against the Texas Rangers tonight at 8 p.m. The Orioles are sitting at 28-27, having lost 4 out of their last 7 games including a four-game split with the Houston Astros. Tonight's game features a struggling Ubaldo Jimenez (2-6) taking the mound for Baltimore against the Rangers' Joe Saunders (0-1).
Although the Orioles are one game over the .500 mark, and only 4.5 games behind the division-leading Toronto Blue Jays, there are some legitimate concerns about the Orioles offense and pitching. In their most recent game against Houston, in which the Orioles beat the Astros 9-4, there were signs that perhaps the offense is coming back to life. However, there have been spurts along the way that have never turned into any consistent offensive production. There are some exceptions to this trend, mostly regarding the bat of Nelson Cruz and his 20 home runs. However, Chris Davis continues to struggle mightily at the plate along with Jonathan Schoop, J.J. Hardy, and Manny Machado (Machado did hit a grand slam in the recent win over Houston.) The Orioles are faring no better in terms of their inconsistent pitching. Chris Tillman's status as the ace of the staff is now in question due to recent poor outings, but there are not many other options at the moment as the staff as a whole is unreliable.
Moving into June, the Orioles have a tough schedule. After facing Texas for three games, the birds will face Oakland, Toronto, Boston, Tampa Bay, New York, and Chicago. One senses that the next few weeks will be critical in determining whether the Orioles will be a legitimate playoff contender. Getting all of the gears of their offense working could potentially overcome some of their pitching woes and provide the Orioles organization with some time to work on possible trades over the summer.
