The proliferation of digital channels opens up new opportunities for businesses that want to deepen relationships with existing clients and attract new customers. Social media platforms and the widespread use of mobile devices provide an affordable way to push out a steady stream of content to always-connected consumers and generate new business. However, many companies that are making the change from print-centric communication to digital content are finding that the transition isn't simple. The processes that are in place for creating, approving, publishing, distributing and tracking print-centric content don't scale when faced with omni-channel digital content.

Istill find that far too many intranets are being built on the basis of putting as much information (or rather, documents) as possible onto the intranet in the hope that users will be able to locate what they need through navigation and search. Site managers, perhaps because of their close allegiance to corporate marketing, generally have an appreciation of not only the diverse information requirements of different users, but also the way in which these users will seek the information. I think that one of the problems in the intranet area is that there are such a wide range of users that intranet managers give up trying to segment them, and just go for the easy option.
One methodology that I have been using recently to develop the information architecture of intranets has been that of personas. For many years, market researchers have concentrated on defining target groups of users, such as "Mothers under 25 with two or more children at school." Alan Cooper, an American software designer and the author of Visual Basic 1.0, realized that, as technology enabled software companies to provide more functionality for the same price, there was an increasing danger that the user experience as they coped with new releases would be so bad that they would prefer to stay with the current version, which would have a huge impact on the sales of software. In his book The Inmates are Running the Asylum, published in 1997, Cooper used some of the outcomes of the market research industry, which at that time was starting to adopt personas.
So what is a persona? It is a real virtual user. The person described in the persona does not actually exist but is created through research to typify some of the characteristics of a group of users. Biographical details are developed, even down to a photograph, so that the person concerned is so real that the intranet team starts to identify with them as an individual of the organization.
This is a very brief bio, but it is just for purposes of illustration: "John Nolan is a consulting engineer. Aged 35, he lives in Birmingham with his wife Maureen and his two children. He was educated at Cambridge and then worked in Australia before joining the company three years ago."
The next step is to define his primary goals. These might be along the lines of: "John wants to make sure that he keeps track of the projects he is involved with, is aware of new techniques in bridge building, and has ready access to travel information as he is always on call anywhere in the world."
This composite would be based on talking to a number of consulting engineers. They may have different specializations, but the issue is that they need to keep up to date in these specializations. From these goals, the intranet team can start to think about how "John" would want to navigate through the site. He would want to see a list of projects and have access to external research services. Scenarios and site walk-throughs can then be developed and built into the information architecture, and then tested with real consulting engineers before refining the personas and the intranet.
The response from skeptical managers is that there could be a very large number of different personas that need to be developed. This is not the case. By focusing in on a small number of key user groups/personas the 80/20 rule soon comes into play, with perhaps five or six persons representing the majority of intensive users.
One of the benefits of personas is that the intranet team starts to identify with them as individual users with defined needs, and then tries to get inside the mind of "John" as a consulting engineer. In this way the requirements that "John" has for information are balanced against his needs for findability and search. The abstract "users" become real, if virtual, people. An ancillary benefit is that the project to meet the needs of consulting engineers in a site re-launch turns into Project John. If you want to know more about personas (and you should) then read Alison Hunt's seminal article in Online at www.infotoday.com/online/jul03/head.shtml. Other good papers on this methodology can be found at www.boxesandarrows.com/archives/print/003348.php (May 2003 edition) and www.boxesandarrows.com/archives/print/002343.php (March 2002 edition).
Before you are able to try this approach, you might need to market the benefits of personas within your organization because the use of personas is still novel, especially in the context of intranets. The published case studies are currently about the use of personas in Web sites, though the basic principles are the same. Consider having some draft personas developed to show the approach and benefits well before investing the time and effort that effective persona development will require, as senior managers (personas in their own right) may be just a little skeptical.

Vanilla Fudge is an American rock band known predominantly for their extended rock renderings of contemporary hit songs, most notably "You Keep Me Hangin' On" . The band's original lineup—vocalist/organist Mark Stein, bassist/vocalist Tim Bogert, lead guitarist/vocalist Vince Martell, and drummer/vocalist Carmine Appice—recorded five albums during the years 1966–69, before disbanding in 1970.

I posted the photo I have of Beriman Camp. Please understand these markers are in an overgrown area of this unkept cemetery. It is impossible to get a clear shot to show the whole marker. I was standing in the poison ivy trying to hold it back with one hand so I could get the picture with the other. All the time trying to keep the camera still so the photo would not be blurry. It would take two people and a weed eater to get a proper photo. Theron...

RE: Colvin
I have a Delores Colvin buried in the Jonesboro City Cemetery. 36622584 I wonder if she could be J. E.'s wife? She appears to be the only Colvin buried in the Jonesboro cemetery, but it is possible that he is buried next to her and does not have a marker. It looks like her marker was placed there recently. There are many unmarked graves in the Jonesboro Cemetery.

I have walked the Siloam Cemetery in Sumter Co, AL several times and have not seen O.O. Stephens. The probable reason is that he appears to be interred at Siloam Baptist Cemetery, Crenshaw Co, AL. There are at least two memorials to him there, with pics.

Deborah A Happ
Daphne - I know why we are having a problem with obtaining a picture of the headstone of Deborah --at the lincolnton Cemetery. The memorial is set up incorrectly. The memorial originator lists her last name as Abstance. This is an x husbands name -- her gravestone is under Happ just like the cemetery online records show. the memorial should have only linked her to her x husband not used his name in the memorial header. She does have a stone according to her step mother. Please look under Deborah A. Happ. The stone has her name dates of birth and death and the comment "In Loving Memory" and her children's names. Thanks

Let's be honest. Teachers don't get into the profession for the money. Nowadays they don't get into the profession for respect either. So why do they do it?

There was a time when Hollywood studios kept their stables of stars on a short leash, keeping close watch over their public personas and even arranging their marriages. Actors at least appear to have more leeway these days, but some studios are requiring that they refrain from broadcasting the minutiae of their daily lives via social media like Facebook and Twitter.

The funding drive had fallen short of its target, raising £13,190.00 while £25,000 was requested, but overall the campaign to save Richard O'Dwyer from extradition has been a success.
"This donate site will be closing today (once we work out how to!) Huge thanks to all who have donated here, your generosity has been most appreciated," said a note posted on the fundraising website.
"Now this nightmare is over Julia & Richard can try get back to some kind of 'normal'. Many thanks once more."
According to Julia the campaign was an expensive one, and the late trip to the US to arrange the Deferred Prosecution Agreement cleaned them out.
"Your kind and generous donations here to help with US costs are really very much appreciated, huge thanks to all of you," she added.
O'Dwyer, who was accused of making over £100,000 from the TV Shack website, was told that he will have to pay a fine and promise to abide by US laws in order to avoid extradition. He gladly accepted the terms, but still maintains that he did not break any laws. µ

Barker was our baby. She came to us when she was only 6 months old and she brought us 15 years of joy and companionship. She always wanted to be around us as she knew she could snuggle with us anytime she pleased. She always cheered us up whenever we were down or had a bad day at work. She would meet us at the door when we came home and always seemed genuinely happy to see us.
Our house seems so empty without her. Everything reminds us of her. Every sound, every room, every thought...
Barker, we love you and we miss you terribly. Please know that we will never forget you.

One month from today, Plexxi's Nils Swart and Derick Winkworth will participate in SDNCentral's DemoFriday to illustrate application abstraction using OpenDaylight. We encourage you to register here and check out the demo on March 14 at 10 a.m. PDT. In our video of the week, Dan Bachman discusses how the Plexxi switching solution makes use of a fabric control protocol and explains whether there are any changes to how this works in a pod architecture. Here is our video of the week and a few of my reads in the Plexxi Pulse – enjoy!
This week Jason Edelman expanded on a prior post on the Cisco Nexus 3000 and its built-in Python interpreter and discussed an example that integrates Python with the native Linux operating system. I like how this post provides examples of real-world automation. As SDN emerged, many industry analysts and networking personnel started looking at what it meant for the future, but there is a lot of work to be done before SDN is widespread and successful. There are immediate practical changes that can happen within current architectures. This type of work is often more approachable and it helps network engineers add new skills to their repertoire.
CRN contributor Ashish Dhawan evaluates the SDN trend from the CIO's perspective. He says CIOs are debating whether betting on SDN will impact their operations and the bottom-line. Ashish notes that SDN brings networking into the age of the cloud and Web 2.0 companies like Facebook are already embracing it. I would add that on the service provider side, SDN should be broader than just protocols like OpenFlow. Some of the protocols that are available to providers go well beyond simply turning up new services more quickly and with more automation. Providers should look at Path Computation Element (PCE), BGP-TE, and ALTO, and tracking emerging ideas like I2RS. These help make bidirectional communication between applications and the network more possible. If this happens, it's not just that services are turned up faster but also that new classes of capabilities will be available. The path to new revenue streams (long an issue on the SP side) is not just doing the same thing more cheaply.
Larry Dignan at ZDNet evaluates Cisco's latest products prior to the earnings announcement made this week. Larry says while Cisco is making efforts to stay relevant in the networking space, big changes take time. Analysts recently observed that the threat of white box or bare metal switching will impact CapEx. This will pressure Cisco and all networking vendors to keep prices in line, but there are two things to consider:
- The longer term cost bogie needs to be OpEx. It is by far the major driver of cost and competition will be on merits of the solution. Automation frameworks will also become increasingly important.
- Pricing is the primary differentiator when two solutions are equivalent. The question is whether Cisco can maintain premium pricing because they offer a catalog of features no one else supports. The real threat of SDN is that architectures are becoming simpler and the catalog will be less relevant over time. So what does Cisco add to their portfolio to maintain differentiation? If ACI is any indication, they will say that it is integration with other infrastructure to provide better performing and more application-centric solutions.
Network World's Jim Duffy reviews Big Switch's change of course toward the orchestration of physical and virtual networks. Now Big Switch is following Cisco's strategy of application centric infrastructure. There appears to be three network OS companies now: Cumulus, Big Switch and Pica8. They all cite customers like Google and Facebook. It will be interesting to see if those companies choose a single software vendor or if they maintain a dual-vendor strategy. It seems difficult for all three to make it with the same customers. More technically-savvy and demanding customers like Google require vendors to quickly ramp up support staff, which may be difficult for these companies initially.
Steve Evans at ComputerWeekly wrote about Dell's open-networking initiative that involves a decoupling of networking hardware and software. Customers will be able to choose between Dell's proprietary OS and a Linux-based OS offered by Cumulus. I don't really connect Dell running Cumulus software on their switches to SDN. Whether your OS and hardware are tightly integrated or distributed separately is related to packaging, not to SDN. Just because the word "software" shows up in both doesn't make them inherently connected. SDN is about separating control for the purpose of intelligent decision making and to automate workflows. The reason adoption is lagging is because the industry continues to confuse people. Vendor marketing around SDN is going to inhibit making money on SDN.
Brian Prince at Network Computing says security is the major topic missing from SDN discussions in the networking industry. The real change here is that coordination across industry groups today is largely manual and governed by process. When you take out the human bottleneck, the pace of change accelerates. This exposes the human interaction bottleneck. I would think that moving to more deployment automation (as with DevOps) would be a natural evolution to tighten the processes and provide a layer of validation. This of course does nothing to add security. It just makes the security that exists a bit more tightly linked and verifiable.
InformationWeek contributor Bill Kleyman provides an overview of SDN's three biggest benefits, which include complete cloud abstraction, intelligent global connections, and near-flawless content delivery. I think SDN primarily addresses workflow automation. Because we manage networks through pinpoint control on a device-by-device basis, things like edge policy are very manual and extremely costly. SDN's major objective is to provide a central point for management, effectively automating a lot of the manual parts of managing a network today. Beyond that, the controller can add intelligence because it has a global view of the network. This means that the actual behavior can be tuned to application requirements. SDN allows the network to optimize based on what applications need. This happens through abstraction, but not just cloud abstraction.
Forbes contributor Ben Kepes writes about OpenDaylight's recent Hydrogen release and asks whether it has any substance, arguing "fascinating does not equate to adoption." At Plexxi, we think the inaugural OpenDaylight release is notable for two reasons: it represents working code, and it was done in 10 months. Many of the standards bodies and consortiums produce recommendations. ODP is producing code and it's a big deal. The best way to bring nascent technology to market is through experimentation. We cannot debate endlessly in professorial exchanges and hope to really learn and iterate. Second, it would take most startups 2-3 years to get from inception to version 1.0 of their product and OpenDaylight did it in 10 months. What does this mean for the long-term trajectory? I think ODP represents a bright spot in the industry, and one that will ultimately prove successful.

City of Manchester Stadium
15th December 2007
City embark on uncharted waters as they hold the mantle for the rest of ninety one professional clubs in England as being the only club to still hold a 100% home record. That record I am sure will be severely tested today when Bolton come to visit the City of Manchester stadium.
ormer City midfielder Gary Megson has forged Bolton into a side much more akin to the likeness of one that Big Sam Alladyce managed since he took over from the totally inept managerial skills of little Sam.
ot only is Megson forged a far better work ethic from his side, but he has the forward talismatic skills of former City star forward, Nicolas Anelka to call on. If City can keep Nico quiet then they should have a good chance of upholding that distinguished record.
Sven talked about Bolton playing to their strengths as they come to games with a more physical side, but would not be drawn any further on that issue.
City will be without the suspended Stephen 'Superman' Ireland as he starts his three match ban due to his justified straight red card he received at White Hart Lane last Sunday.
ity have the services of Didi Hamann to call on again after he served his one match suspension last week.
here is still some doubt as to whether Elano is fully match fit and if he isn't, will that mean that City might line up in a four four two formation and play Rolando Bianchi and either Darius Vassell or Emile Mpenza alongside him. Or will Sven pack the midfield with Geovanni, Gelson and Kelvin Etuhu all vying for that spare midfield place.
After that bullet header at Tottenham last Sunday he has a lot to prove to the home faithful that he is worth starting for a run of games.
Gary Megson has no new injury worries and is set to field an unchanged side from the team that beat Wigan 4-1.
efenders Andy O'Brien and Nicky Hunt should keep their places, as should Danny Guthrie and Kevin Nolan.
He may look quite lazy on occasions but he has top quality skills in abundance and invariably scores the harder goal, but is not as good on those one on one situations.
City and Bolton have a completely even record against each other in the Premiership and Bolton just edge the overall meetings record by one more victory. But more interestingly Bolton have won at the City of Manchester Stadium on the last three occasions a trend that Sven will hope to reverse.
Peter Walton. This will be his second City game this season. His first was at West Ham where we won two nil, but he did proceed to book four of our players.
I really want to say that City will win this one, but I feel a one all result is shouting out at me with City scoring first and Anelka equalizing. 1-1.
City at home to Tottenham in the league cup quarter final on Tuesday night at the City of Manchester Stadium.

Father moves HC to get son releasedTNN | Nov 9, 2012, 06.31 AM IST
MADURAI: A 60-year-old man has filed a habeas corpus petition in the Madurai bench of the Madras high court to see his 27-year-old son, who was taken into custody by police for interrogation.
According to the petitioner, C Arasan of Chinna Anuppanadi, his son A Ramar went to Nilakottai on November 3 to see his friends, but did not return home. He saw a report the next day that the youth was arrested by the Avaniyapuram police in connection with a crime. The police said Ramar was held in connection with a criminal case. Police also told him he would be produced before a judicial magistrate after inquiry. But even after three days, the youth was not produced before the court and the father was denied permission to see his son.
Despite a letter sent to the district SP in this regard, the boy was not released, the petitioner contended. The division bench comprising justices M Jayachandran and S Nagamuthu on Thursday has ordered notices to the police and posted the matter for November 22.
