Impressions from European Value Chain Summit 2014 in Amsterdam
By Ulf Koester-Oracle on Mar 21, 2014
We have just completed our 2nd European Value Chain Summit in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. The event was a great success with an outstanding atmosphere, excellent content, and high value. Almost 400 people from 25 countries enjoyed the excellent networking opportunities provided in the event.
Starting on March 18th, 10:30, Maha Muzumdar, Vice President Oracle Marketing Supply Chain, set the stage with a warm welcome and introduction to the day. Then Jon Chorley (CSO & Group Vice President, SCM & PLM Product Strategy) explained the Oracle Value Chain Management strategy, followed by Joseph Francis, Executive Director of the Supply Chain Council, who highlighted current trends in Supply Chain Transformation.
The Supply Chain Council (SCC) is a global nonprofit organization whose framework, improvement methodology, training, certification and benchmarking tools help member organizations make dramatic, rapid, and sustainable improvements in supply chain performance. The last plenary keynote of the morning of this first event day was held by HP Chief Technologist Christian Verstraete. Christian highlighted the importance of "Technology in Support of the Value Chain".
After the lunch break we split into 3 tracks highlighting Value Chain Planning, Value Chain Execution and Enterprise PLM for the Product Value Chain. John Kelley, Vice President, Product Value Chain Strategy, Oracle, kicked off the Enterprise PLM breakout track with his presentation "Product Value Chain: Empowering the Modern Value Chain". The session provided a comprehensive overview of Oracle's product strategy and roadmap for the Product Value Chain Management products – and at the same time was the official launch of Oracle Innovation Management in Europe!
Innovation has become a top priority for many CEOs, but less than 20% believe their investments are paying off. With Oracle Innovation Management they get a comprehensive view to make faster and better investment decisions through the capture, enrichment and evaluation of ideas, product proposals, requirements and concepts. Each idea can be analyzed and compared to determine strategic fit and financial impact before they waste time and money developing the impractical ones. With Innovation Management determining which ideas carry the most profit potential becomes a sustainable, repeatable process that delivers results. IM will assist customers build a set of well defined product ideas into products through a series of processes that develop requirements, design concepts, project proposals, and product portfolios. The participants of the Hands On workshop in the conference were really impressed by the great capabilities of this new and game-changing solution.
Later in the afternoon, Fritz Konz, Manager of McDonald's European Quality Center, explained how Oracle Agile PLM Helps McDonald's to "Enable Innovation Value Management and Nutrition Transparency".
At Oracle, we "drink our own champagne", or in other words: We use our own software to excel in hardware and software development. This was impressively explained by Devendra Singh, Vice President, Agile PLM Development in his presentation "Using Agile PLM for Hardware and Software Development within Oracle Sun and Peoplesoft".
The Enterprise PLM Breakout sessions then proceeded with two customer sessions by Marel Stork Poultry Processing B.V. "The OnePLM Program at Marel: Supporting Company Business Transformation Goals" and by Philip Morris International "Streamlined Processes in the Consumer Goods industry - From Idea to Manufacturing".
In the evening hours, there was plenty of room for networking and fun: We enjoyed a nice boat trip through beautiful Amsterdam.
On March 19th, Maha Muzumdar kicked off the day by introducing the first session of the day, hosted by PWC, with Don Jennings, IT Director, Silicon Graphics International "Building a Consolidated PLM Platform for Compliance and Supplier Excellence", followed by presentations hosted by our partners Mavenwire, Inspirage, and Cognizant and delivered by Logitech, Ferring, and a panel discussion.
After the coffee break, we split up in several tracks again. The Enterprise PLM track started with a block of three 2x45 minutes presentations. In the PLM in Industrial Manufacturing track, the PLM in HighTech, Life Sciences, Consumer Product Goods & Retail track, and PLM in Food & Beverage track, Oracle Product strategy and product development shared "Product News and Roadmap" for the respective product lines, each of them together with a customer example. In these sessions we heard excellent presentations from great customers such as Marquardt, Bayer Consumer Care, and KP Snacks.
After the lunch break, the Enterprise PLM track continued with a
Retail Industry Track, comprising of an introductory session delivered
by PWC, and a presentation on effective "MultiChannel Commerce with Product
Information Management". In parallel to the Retail track, the audience enjoyed a PLM in Midsize
track, consisting of customer presentations by Global Display
Solutions, Sealed Air, and Elemaster. This track was hosted by our partner xPLM Solution.
The conference presentations will be made available to the event participants via a specific portal in the next few days.
We want to thank all our customers and partners for their commitment and dedication and hope to see you again on the next Oracle Value Chain Summit!

Monitoring and measuring social media
12:32, March 28 2012
Experts say it's all about the data at the Social Media World Forum Europe conference in London.

Gathering data through social channels has increasingly become a method for businesses to gain information about their customers from a personal perspective.
Some experts say that some companies are focused on gathering as much social data as possible, which is the wrong approach.
Dr. Simone Kurtzke, social media manager for VisitScotland, says that it is important not to just have the quantity of data but the quality to filter it."If you only have the quantity and you don't have the insight then there's no point," he said.
Engaging fans was also pointed out to be just as important as the number of fans for the social success of a brand.
"Fundamental success of a brand depends on the number of fans and the engagement of those fans," said Henry Juszkiewicz, chairman and CEO of Gibson Guitar Corporation.
Juszkiewicz also noted that when engaging with social followers negative feedback is not always a bad thing. "I will look at the intensity of the response as a measure of success even if the response is negative," Juszkiewicz said.
Juzkiewicz emphasised that when using data companies must know exactly what they want.
"Data is only good as the result it can give you," he said. "I have often found that statistics guys don't know and they'll give you everything. Social media is not a homogenous blog. You can get swept up by the statistics."

Thiel-Behnke corneal dystrophy
Thiel-Behnke corneal dystrophy (TBCD) is a rare form of superficial corneal dystrophy characterized by sub-epithelial honeycomb-shaped corneal opacities in the superficial cornea, and progressive visual impairment.
Prevalence of this form of corneal dystrophy is not known. Cases have been reported in Germany, the USA and in other countries.
Corneal erosions develop in the first and second decade of life and cause ocular discomfort and pain. The erosions recur and vision gradually becomes impaired.
Thiel-Behnke corneal dystrophy appears to be caused by mutation in the TGFBI gene (5q31), like Reis-Bücklers corneal dystrophy. However, there appears to be genetic heterogeneity as another locus has also been identified on chromosome 10 (10q23-q24).
Histological examinations reveal a variable thickness of the corneal epithelium. The epithelial basal lamina and Bowman layer display variable degenerative changes. Irregular subepithelial collagenous tissue is also found.
TBCD is clinically similar to Reis-Bücklers corneal dystrophy (RBCD, see this term), but generally has a less severe course. Tissue examination or molecular genetic analysis can be used to differentiate TBCD and RBCD.
This entity has an autosomal dominant mode of inheritance.
The pathologic corneal tissue can be excised surgically or with an eximer laser.

7 District 10 teams to compete at PIAA competitive spirit championships
Seven schools from District 10 will be represented at the inaugural PIAA competitive spirit championships in Hershey today.
Fairview, which earned the highest team score in its 21/2-minute routine at the District 10 championships last Saturday, will be joined by Warren and Wilmington in the small-school division.
Harbor Creek earned its bid by edging Mercyhurst Prep by just four-tenths of a point to finish first in the medium-school division last Saturday. The Lakers' team score was high enough to qualify as well.
McDowell and Oil City will participate in the large-school division after taking the top two spots in the district championship.

You would think the White House tradition of honoring those American teams who have won the Stanley Cup would transcend the partisan rancor of politics. After all, you get to meet the president, immortalize your achievement with a photo-op and a pleasant little ceremony; you basically are offered a moment to bask in history and prestige of the Executive Office.
Well, 2010-11 Stanley Cup-winning goalie Tim Thomas decided to draw a line in the sand. Thomas infamously snubbed the president and posted a mild political diatribe on Facebook. Classy.
20 Biggest Sports PR Disasters of the Last Decade
By Amber Lee ,
You would think the White House tradition of honoring those American teams who have won the Stanley Cup would transcend the partisan rancor of politics. After all, you get to meet the president, immortalize your achievement with a photo-op and a pleasant little ceremony; you basically are offered a moment to bask in history and prestige of the Executive Office.
Since being hired as head coach of the Jets, Rex Ryan has been one PR nightmare after another.
Ryan's foul-mouthed appearance on Hard Knocks, annual Super Bowl guarantees and the revelations surrounding the sexually adventurous nature of his marriage, have all created headaches for the Jets.
Dwight Howard's future in Orlando has been a seemingly unending nightmare—particularly for Magic head coach Stan Van Gundy. It's no secret that there is no loved lost between these two.
They recently starred in the most awkward press conference ever together and the repercussions from that incident are still playing out. Howard has officially thrown down the gauntlet on Van Gundy.
What's worse than being an MLB team with a $162 million payroll in the midst of a historic, late-season collapse? Being one that caps off said collapse with a media frenzy over leaked details about your big-money pitchers crushing beers and fried chicken in the clubhouse while the ship sunk.
This is your 2012 Boston Red Sox; a struggling team still battling a "chicken and beer scandal" and reports about a locker room divided over "snitches."
You would think the White House tradition of honoring those American teams who have won the Stanley Cup would transcend the partisan rancor of politics. After all, you get to meet the president, immortalize your achievement with a photo-op and a pleasant little ceremony; you basically are offered a moment to bask in history and prestige of the Executive Office.
Well, 2010-11 Stanley Cup-winning goalie Tim Thomas decided to draw a line in the sand. Thomas infamously snubbed the president and posted a mild political diatribe on Facebook. Classy.
Fair or not, no story makes the media pounce and fans explode than one that creates the perception that certain players don't care about losing a championship. Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski, despite his amazing individual season, developed an acute image problem when photos and video surfaced of him dancing shirtless at a club after his Patriots lost to the underdog Giants (again) in Super Bowl XLVI.
To make matters worse, this caused folks to retroactively scrutinize every less-than-flattering image of Gronk floating around the internet.
If someone mentions "guns" and "locker room" in the same sentence, I would assume they were referring to the kind glorified by a specific song by Kiss. However, this was not the case with a 2010 locker room confrontation between then-Wizards teammates Gilbert Arenas and Javaris Crittenton.
Arguing over a gambling debt, Arenas drew a gun on Crittenton (who then pulled out his own), leading to an indefinite suspension of Arenas and a reputation from which he has yet to recover.
It's amazing how the public perception of a team can undergo a complete transformation almost overnight. The formula is almost always the same: a team with a healthy share of talented egos starts losing and then unnamed sources start the finger pointing.
And this is how the Jets went from brash and lovable—like their enigmatic head coach—to struggling team with a divided locker room. In the end, the biggest losers were Mark Sanchez and Santonio Holmes.
After enduring a contentious labor battle that canceled the 2004-05 season, the last thing the NHL needed was an image problem. The league was reborn in better form, but like the NFL, it could not escape the inevitable problems that come with a violent sport.
The 2011-12 NHL season reached a critical mass; star players like Sidney Crosby and Chris Pronger highlighted an epidemic of head injuries, complicated by cheap shots, suspensions and deaths off the ice.
For much of his career, Steelers linebacker James Harrison's play on the field did most of his speaking for him. Not known for giving long or very candid interviews, Harrison picked a bad time to start opening up.
As Roger Goodell and the NFL began to aggressively address head injuries through discipline and rule changes, Harrison gave a notorious interview titled "Confessions of an NFL Hitman" to Men's Journal. This photo pretty much speaks for itself.
The past three years have not been kind to the image of NCAA football. Various scandals, from the relatively minor to jaw-dropping, have sullied the reputations of what were once untouchable powerhouses such as Ohio State, Southern Cal and Penn State.
Amazing stories like the meteoric rise of Cam Newton, were sometimes overshadowed by things like "Tattoo-Gate" and the "Sandusky Investigation," while Joe Paterno, Jim Tressell and Butch Davis found themselves fired or forced out of the job.
Brett Favre is a record-setting quarterback and future Hall of Famer. Yet despite having one the greatest and longest NFL careers, toward the end he couldn't avoid the kind of shenanigans that remind us he's human.
While a member of the Jets, Favre allegedly became enamored with fellow employee Jenn Sterger, courting her numerous explicit texts and a low-res snapshots of his man-parts.
You're a beloved, hometown hero; a basketball wunderkind who single-handedly made the city's struggling NBA franchise relevant. Not only did you transform the team into a playoff contender, you gave an old rustbelt stronghold hope. However, you know the truth: you'll probably never win a championship with this team.
So it's time to move on, but you'll let the fans down easy, right? Nope, you ripped their hearts out on a national televised ESPN spectacle called "The Decision."
Whenever a high-profile NFL player is drafted or acquired via free agency by the Giants or the Jets, the sports punditry class loves to speculate about how that player will handle the NYC media feeding frenzy. Surviving the back page of the New York Post is almost a rite of passage.
Well, shooting yourself in the leg with an unregistered gun at a New York nightclub, during the height of your career, is akin to dumping a bucket of bloody fish heads in a shark tank.
Just when it seems like the MLB is ready to move on from the steroid and substance abuse scandals of the last decade, Ryan Braun's positive test brought back all the bad memories.
If nothing else, we've learned that no matter how much you deny the allegations or how much time you're banished from the league, your reputation will always have an asterisk.
From publicly questioning his quarterbacks' sexual orientation to elaborate (and expensive) touchdown celebrations, Terrell Owens' antics will always define his career as much, or more, than his production on the field. Owens is practically a self-parody and the very definition of a walking PR nightmare.
For better or worse, Owens' employment means accepting that your team's media relations staff are going to be working some nights and weekends.
Although sports fans, players and media alike will always have a volatile relationship with game officiating, referees are vital to the integrity of the game. So when allegations are made about point-shaving and other malfeasance by an NBA official, it sends shockwaves through the sport.
After an FBI investigation found that Tim Donaghy had made calls during his games to influence the outcome for financial gain, fans of the sport were rightly outraged.
You got to hand it to Bobby Petrino. He found a way to give the world an encore to the shameful and disingenuous way he handled himself when he left the Atlanta Falcons to become head coach of the Arkansas Razorbacks. The bizarre series of events in early April 2012 that got him fired checked all the boxes for a PR disaster.
Inappropriate relationship with a younger woman. Check. Misuse of influence to get her a job she wasn't qualified for. Check. Attempted cover-up. Check.
When you are the first-year manager of a MLB team based in a city known for its large population of Cuban expatriots, you should probably cross out "Praise Fidel Castro" from your press conference notes. Predictably, when lightning rod Ozzie Guillen inexplicably praised the longevity of Castro's rule in Cuba, the media jumped on the statement and Cuban advocacy groups went ballistic.
It isn't the first time Guillen put his foot in his mouth—and won't be the last—but this incident put him on the wrong side of an issue a core part of the Marlins fanbase cares deeply about.
The very identity of Bill Belichik's Patriots is characterized by a fundamental, business-like approach to football. Considered two of the best football minds in the NFL, Belichik's and owner Robert Kraft built their brand around quarterback Tom Brady—a cool headed seventh-round pick who just wins without the pomp and circumstance.
So, when the Spygate story broke in 2007, it struck at the very core of the Patriots ideal and for some players and fans, stains their winning legacy.
Decades from now, what will be the legacy of Bountygate? Will it be the symbol of a game that will never be able to escape the worst aspects of it's violent nature. Or, will it be viewed as a turning point for a new NFL era focused on protecting player safety.
This question will be answered at some point, but there is no question about the immediate fall out. Once considered a hot commodity, Gregg Williams' career is in serious jeopardy, while a resurgent Saints franchise will be without head coach Sean Peyton for an entire season.

Whether you prefer quaffing champagne over the glittering Lake Zurich or dancing in to the early hours at the city's mammoth street party, the 'Silvester Zauber', or 'New Year's Magic', is the biggest of New Year's Eve Events in Zurich.
Some 200,000 revelers gather in central Zurich for Switzerland's most famous festival, held on the city streets since 1988. The free festival is held around Lake Zurich, stretching along Limmat Quay and Bellevue, with live music, DJs and makeshift stalls serving up cups of Gluhwein (spiced mulled wine) and bratwurst sausages, alongside an array of other traditional foods and drinks. Bars and clubs in the area kick off the evening with special New Year's dinner menus, before erupting into dance parties after 11pm and opening up their terraces for party-goers to watch the main spectacle – a dazzling firework display lighting up the lake.
Planning a Trip? Check out Viator's Zurich tours and things to do, Zurich attractions, and Zurich travel recommendations.
As the church bells chime in the New Year, the city is plunged into darkness before exploding in color, as the award-winning fireworks are set off from boats moored on the lake. The 20-minute extravaganza is organized by the Zurich Hoteliers' Association and watched from all over the city.
Zurich's New Year Festival starts at 8pm and runs until 3am on New Year's Day, but don't worry about getting home – public transport runs until 4am, leaving plenty of time to crawl into bed and sleep off those extra glasses of champagne.

I would like to have Maple reproduce the well known result that the geometric power series with first term 1 and common ratio x, with |x|<1, converges to 1/(1-x). When I do:
I get - 1/(x-1). Which is okay, but is there a way to force Maple to produce 1/(1-x)?

Management Company Takes Lead in Speeding Up Play
OB Sports has come up with a novel plan to address unnecessarily long golf rounds. The Scottsdale-based firm, which operates courses mostly in the West but also in the Southeast and in the Great Lakes area, has launched Express Lane Tee Times.
The program was initiated at Angel Park in Las Vegas in February, but has since expanded it to Sedona Golf Resort and Eagle Mountain Golf Club in Arizona.
The program involves guaranteeing players that they'll get their rounds in under four hours, 3:45 to be exact.
"We began the program as a way to speed up pace of play and to differentiate Angel Park from other courses in Las Vegas," said Kris Strauss, OB Sports VP of Marketing.
"We weren't sure how it would be received, but found out quickly there are a lot of players who want to get out for an early morning tee time and be home in time to take their kids to soccer or baseball."
As part of the Express Lane Tee Time plan, the first tee times of the day are reserved specifically for players who agree to play their rounds in 3:45 or less. When a player calls to reserve one of those times, they are told they must agree to play in the allotted time. When they arrive at the course, each player must sign an agreement committing to the pace of play. If a group falls behind, they are warned to speed up play.
If that doesn't happen, they are moved up a hole or to the back of the Express Lane Tee Times, allowing those who are on pace to play through and complete their rounds on time.
"I think the key to the success of the program is that we communicate it loud and often," added Strauss. "We tell then when tee times are booked, we remind them in the Pro shop, have them sign the agreement and remind them again on the first tee. So no one can be surprised if our course marshal tells them to pick up the pace."
Sedona Golf Resort announced this week that they will dedicate the first six tee times each day to the Express Lane program. Eagle Mountain Golf Club in Fountain Hills has also converted the first four tee times on the weekend to Express Lane Tee Time.
Plans call for additional courses to add the program to their tee sheets in the coming months.

If you go to his personal website, Asante Samuel's name is accompanied by the words "Future Hall of Famer."
This is a man with an ego. And you know what? That's OK. A lot of great athletes have oversize egos. For an awful lot of them there is a connection between their supreme self-confidence and their ability to perform at a high level. They need a mystique to live up to.
If you take your head out of the teapot, the tempest generated by Samuel's on-air interview with 97.5 FM the Fanatic doesn't seem like such a big deal. In order to run alongside 6-foot-3, 210-pound men with 4.48 speed, Samuel needs to believe he is the best cornerback in the universe - just as Brian Dawkins needed to believe he was Weapon X to be the player he was here. And if Samuel believes, then the idea that his team keeps trying to trade him away for draft picks is bound to cause a bit of cognitive dissonance.

A state located in New England. Boston is the largest city in Massachusetts, and Worcester is the second biggest.
New Hampshire people tend to hate people from Massachusetts, but they're just jealous because there's more things to do in Massachusetts than there is in New Hampshire.
de Chewy 16 octobre 2004
A state located in New England that all other states should give thanks to, purely for the fact we started this country. And if any other state says otherwise, it is a widespread idea that these states should be given to the canadans, because everyone knows that canadans don't count.
Thank you Masachusetts for being both senic and beautiful, and harsh and dirty. Especially thank you Southie for breeding some of the best scum of the earth.
de Little Miss Mass 25 avril 2005
Home to quite a few sports teams, such as the Boston Red Sox, New England Patriots, Boston Celtics, Boston Bruins, Worcester Ice Cats, and a bunch of other less important ones. The first perfect game of baseball was pitched in Worcester (my hometown). Also, Robert Cormier, and Esther Forbes, both famous authors are from Worcester. Massachusetts is home to one of the most famous orchestras in the world (Boston Pops), one of only five in the US which have starting salary's of $100,000. Also, MA is home to the only institution in the North East dedicated to the collection, preservation, exhibition, and interpretation of arms and armor. (Higgins Armory Museum-Worcester) Worcester also houses the nation's "finest pre-Civil War concert hall," Mechanics Hall. Massachusetts played a very important part in the development of the American nation, beginning with the Pilgrims. Also, there were the Salem Witch Trials, the Battles of Concord and Lexington, , the Boston Tea Party, and all those things you learn in American History class. Massachusetts is also the first state to allow gay marriages, much to the chagrin of many residents. There are gay festivals held in Boston Common every summer. I accidentally walked into one unknowingly... Also, Massachusetts is a great example of the renowned 'Crazy New England Weather.' Theres snow in the winter (a LOT), it gets WICKED HOT in the summer, there is beautiful foliage in the fall, and pretty blossoms in the spring. Terms from this region include WICKED, FRIGGIN, which can be used separately, or together (WICKED FRIGGIN), BUBBLER (water fountain), JIMMIES (sprinkles), UEY (u turn), Candlepin Bowling, COMMON (park in the middle of the city), and CELLAR (basement). Massachusetts has in it a bunch of important universities, such as Harvard, MIT, Wellesley, WPI, and Tufts. As well as like 12345 other colleges and universities...I mean theres more colleges in my city then there are in the whole state of Alaska, I'm not even kidding!
I live in Massachusetts, as opposed to, you living in Massachusetts...Chargoggamanchaugagoggcharbunnagungamog... aka...Webster Lake

A state part of New England where gays can get married. It is also home to the Red Sox, Super bowl champion Patriots, the Bruins, and the wicked sucky celtics and also called taxachusetts because the taxes are to damn high
I live in Massachusetts.
de mike H. 16 mai 2004
the best place in the world. It has more history than probably any other U.S. state. It is also home to the country's most aggressive drivers, the Kennedys, the world's best colleges and universites, many democrats, the New England Patriots, the beloved Boston Red Sox, married gays, and the best people you will ever meet. It costs a fortune to live here, taxes are ridiculous, and everyone you know is either irish or italian, or both, and hating the NY Yankees is part of culture. People who live here experience the best of all four seasons and have easy access to beaches, lakes, rivers, and mountains (for skiing). Its not unusual for residents to use New Hampshire for its tax-free prices and illegal fireworks. ;]

a wicked awesome state where people can enjoy all four seasons without leaving. home of Boston, second best US city to New York. home of 2 champion sports teams-the Boston Red Sox and the New England Patriots! Don't forget the Bruins as well! Home of some of the greatest colleges and universities known to man. we have mountains, rivers, lakes, an ocean, ponds, national parks and monuments, and other cool things too good to beat!
Massachusetts is the..

Massachusetts is "The Spirit of America."
de V. Williams 28 septembre 2005
A state in New England, home of several famous sports teams, rich history, a great culture, as well as some bad stuff mixed in too. A common misconception is that everyone from Massachusetts is from Boston, and that Massachusetts is one big city. This is not the case however. On the quiet, western side of the state, it's mostly farms and small towns. There are some larger cities, though, such as Northampton and Springfield, but it isn't terrible populated. We in western Massachusetts are nothing like our eastern counterparts; we're better drivers, we speak normally, and basically everything opposite what you would think someone from Boston is like. Except for wicked, we do say wicked.
Person 1: Oh you'ah from Massachusetts? Can you pahk my cah in Haavahd yahd?

For many visitors, Salzburg represents the quintessential Austria, offering ornate architecture, mountain air, and the musical heritage of the city's most famous son, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. The city and surrounding area were for centuries ruled by a series of independent prince-archbishops, and it is the pomp and wealth of their court that is evident everywhere in the fine Baroque Altstadt.
More about Austria

The complex of Baroque buildings at the centre of Salzburg exude the ecclesiastical and temporal power of Salzburg's archbishops, whose erstwhile living quarters – the Residenz – dominate the west side of Residenzplatz. You can take a self-guided audio-tour of the lavish state rooms, and then visit the Residenzgalerie, one floor above, whose collection includes a few interesting paintings, most notably the small, almost sketch-like Old Woman Praying by Rembrandt.
On the east side of Residenzplatz, accessed from Mozartplatz, is the Neue Residenz, built by Archbishop Wolf Dietrich von Raitenau, topped by the Glockenspiel, a seventeenth-century musical clock which chimes at 7am, 11am and 6pm. It now houses the excellent Salzburg Museum, which as well as showing some of the archbishop's lavish rooms, explores the history of Salzburg, the rediscovery of Salzburg by Romantic painters and the city's tourist industry.
Domplatz and Franziskanerkirche
Domplatz and Franziskanerkirche
The pale marble facade of the Dom dominates Domplatz, while inside, the impressively cavernous Renaissance structure dazzles with its ceiling frescoes. Across Domplatz, an archway leads through to the Gothic Franziskanerkirche, which houses a fine Baroque altar around an earlier Madonna and Child. The altar is enclosed by an arc of nine chapels, and a frenzy of stucco. Look out for the twelfth-century marble lion that guards the stairway to the pulpit.
Mozarts Geburtshaus and Mozarts Wohnhaus
Mozarts Geburtshaus and Mozarts Wohnhaus
Getreidegasse, the main street in Salzburg's old town, is lined with opulent boutiques, painted facades and wrought-iron shop signs. At no. 9 is the canary-yellow Mozarts Geburtshaus, where the musical prodigy was born (in 1756) and lived until the age of 17. Between the waves of tour parties it can be an evocative place, housing some fascinating period instruments, including one of his baby-sized violins. Over the Salzach River on Makartplatz is Mozarts Wohnhaus, the family home from 1773 till 1787, containing an engrossing multimedia history of the composer.
Overlooking the city from the rocky mountain, the fortified Hohensalzburg is Salzburg's key landmark. You can get up here using the oldest funicular in Austria from Fesstungsgasse behind the Dom, although the walk up isn't as hard as it looks. Begun around 1070, the fortress gradually became a more salubrious courtly seat. Included in the price is an audioguide tour of the observation tower – with spectacular views – and battlements, separate access to the impressive state rooms and various exhibitions. On summer, evenings (7–9.30pm), entrance to the ramparts is free, providing a good feel for the place.
For some of the best views across to the fortress, take the Mönchsberg lift up to the Mönchsberg from Anton-Neumayr-Platz. At the summit, the sleekly concrete-and-glass Museum der Moderne, which puts on big-name art exhibitions, is a stylish contrast to all the Baroque.
Schloss Mirabell
Schloss Mirabell
Across the river from the Altstadt, Schloss Mirabell on Mirabellplatz stands on the site of a palace built by Archbishop Wolf Dietrich for his mistress Salome, with whom the energetic prelate was rumoured to have sired a dozen children. The palace's ornate gardens offer a much-photographed view back across the city.
Schloss Hellbrunn and the Untersberg
Schloss Hellbrunn and the Untersberg
The Italianate palace Schloss Hellbrunn on Salzburg's southern fringe – 5km from the city centre – was built in the early seventeenth century by Salzburg's decadent archbishop Marus Sitticus as a place for entertaining. The main attraction is the gardens' impressive array of fountains and watery gimmicks, or Wasserspiele; guided tours of them depart every 15min, with the tour guide showing off all the tricks and hidden fountains, including an elaborate, water-powered mechanical theatre, with great aplomb (prepare to be splashed). The palace itself features paintings of Sitticus's unusual animal collection, and a lavishly frescoed festival hall and music room.
To get to Schloss Hellbrunn take bus #25 from the train station or Mirabellplatz. This bus continues to the village of St Leonhard, 7km further south, where the 1853-metre Untersberg is climbed by a cable car, for impressive views of Salzburg to the north and the Alps to the south, making it a hit with summer hikers and skiers in winter.
The Sound of Music
The Sound of Music
Salzburg certainly wastes no time cashing in on its connection with the legendary singing Von Trapp family, immortalized in the movie The Sound of Music. From its kiosk on Mirabellplatz, Panorama Tours (t 0662/883 21 10, w www.panoramatours.com) runs what they dub "The Original Sound of Music Tour" (daily 9.30am & 2pm; 4 hr; €37) on which you're bussed to the key film locations, such as Hellsbrun Palace and Mondsee Cathedral, played the soundtrack and sent away with a free edelweiss souvenir.

The American Lawyer Ranks WilmerHale Among Top 20 Pro Bono Firms
USPTO Expands First Action Interview Pilot Program
On May 16, 2011, the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) implemented the Full First Action Interview Pilot Program, which expands the Enhanced First Action Interview Pilot Program to include utility applications in all technology areas and with all filing dates. As with the previous First Action Interview pilot programs, the applicant is entitled to a first action interview, upon request, before the first Office Action on the merits. This program applies to requests filed on or after April 1, 2011, and before May 16, 2012 (seePre-OG Notice). Other than expanding the program to include all technology areas and filing dates, the process is the same as that used in the Enhanced First Action Interview Pilot Program, which ended April 1, 2011.
Normally, granting an interview before first action on the merits of a new application is within the examiner's discretion (MPEP § 713.02). Under this program, however, granting an interview becomes non-discretionary. After an applicant requests participation in the program, the examiner will conduct a prior art search and provide the applicant with a condensed Pre-Interview Communication citing relevant prior art and identifying proposed rejections and/or objections. Within one month or 30 days, whichever is longer, of the mailing or notification date of the Pre-Interview Communication, the applicant must either (1) file a request to not have a first action interview with the examiner, or (2) schedule an interview and submit proposed amendments and/or arguments. At the interview, the applicant and examiner will discuss issues related to the patentability of the claims. If agreement is not reached on all claims, then the applicant will receive a First Action Interview Office Action that includes an interview summary and that constitutes a first Office Action on the merits under 35 U.S.C. 132. According to the USPTO, "[p]articipants in the previous First Action Interview pilots experienced many benefits including: (1) the ability to advance prosecution of an application; (2) enhanced interaction between the applicant and the examiner; (3) the opportunity to resolve patentability issues one-on-one with the examiner at the beginning of the prosecution process; and (4) the opportunity to facilitate early allowance. Approximately 34 percent of the applications in the First Action Interview Pilot Programs were allowed on the first action on the merits, as compared to approximately 11 percent on average across all technologies for new non-continuing applications." Applications under the program are not advanced out of turn for examination, but most likely will be taken up in the order of its effective U.S. filing date in accordance with MPEP § 713.02.
USPTO Implements Track I of the 3-Track Examination Process
On February 4, 2011, the USPTO published a statement regarding "immediate implementation" of Track I of its 3-Track examination process. Prop. PTO Reg. § 1.102(e); 76 Fed. Reg. 6,369 (Feb. 4, 2011). The 3-Track examination process was introduced in June 2010 and was proposed to allow applicants to select the examination process that fit with their individual examination goals. Track I examination was scheduled to launch May 4, 2011 (seeFederal Register Notice), but because of budgetary concerns has been postponed indefinitely.
Track I allows for an applicant to request prioritized examination of an original utility or plant non-provisional application. Track III allows an applicant to request a delay in docketing the application for examination for a maximum period not to exceed thirty months in an original utility or plant application. In the event that an applicant does not select either Track I or Track III, an application will be examined under Track II, which is the current examination procedure.
In its February statement, the USPTO proposed limiting requests for prioritized examination under Track I to 10,000 applicants in the first year. Prop. PTO Reg. § 1.102(e); 76 Fed. Reg. 6,369 (Feb. 4, 2011). Under the proposal, an applicant must satisfy several requirements to qualify for Track I prioritization. First, an applicant must request prioritized examination for an original utility or plant application (including new continuation applications) filed on or after the implementation date of Track I. Second, the applicant must pay a fee of $4,800 ($2,400 for small entity status) to offset the costs associated with Track I and to prevent delay of non-prioritized applications. Third, the application must be filed electronically and include no more than four independent and thirty total claims. Fourth, an applicant may not request an extension of time. Any request for an extension of time will result in the termination of Track I prioritization without a refund of fees.
Once an application satisfies the requirements for Track I prioritization, it is accorded special status and placed on an examiner's special docket throughout the entire course of examination. The application remains on the special docket until disposal of the case within a target period of twelve months. The application is disposed of when: (1) a notice of allowance is mailed; (2) a final office action is mailed; (3) a notice of appeal is filed; (4) an interference is declared; (5) a request of continued examination is filed; or (6) the application is abandoned. If an interference is declared or an appeal filed, the application will not be accorded special status during the pendency of the interference or appeal.
The USPTO dropped certain requirements that were included in its June 2010 proposal. The USPTO is not requiring that applicants perform a pre-filing search or analysis of the claims. In addition, the USPTO is not demanding that applicants request a supplemental search from a participating intellectual property granting office. Prop. PTO Reg. § 1.102(e); 76 Fed. Reg. at 6,370. Therefore, the Track I examination process offers applicants the advantage of special status without the prior art requirements imposed by the Accelerated Examination program.

Welcome to WebmasterWorld Guest from 184.108.40.206
Forum Moderators: open
Have heard that 85% of people searching for a specific term will not look further than the first page, but is there any research showing the estimated click throughs (on organic searches) for the different positions. Am 17th at the moment for a fairly competitive, but highly relevant term.. If I can get to 2nd position lets say, whats the general concensus as to extra traffic?
When starting out I focussed my SEO on specific keywords , what i have done with susequent redesigns and tweaks is targetted a broader range. If your gonna get stuck in , " think beyond the box ". Use the adwords key suggestion tool , and other variuos tools to give you an idea. For example people looking for skydiving might use the words sky jumping ..
The traffic increase will all depend on " what " you rank for.
Having position 20 I was getting 5-10 visits a day. Reaching position 8-10 I was getting 40-50 visits a day, having position 1st-2nd I get around 200-230 visits a day.
Last month, 36 times more visitors came to the older site by searching for "Acme widgets" than came to the new site.
When I compare the two sites for traffic based on other brands of widgets in search terms, I've reached the conclusion that I could be drawing in at least twenty times the number of visitors to the new site if I could get it on the first page for those terms.
Thanks for the sandbox, G. :(
Have just found out that Atlas are conducting some research on how search engine rank impacts traffic. Although it is more concerned with paid listings, the principle applies to natural searches as well.
Don't suppose anyone has more idea of when MSN are launching their new engine? And are they really going to spend millions in marketing to try and rival G? Hope its soon as the beta version is giving me great rankings..
For the new site, I've had to go out and get as many links as possible. Yahoo shows that the new site has nearly 800 incoming links, but Google only shows about 175 of them.
It's been a very frustrating year.

Featured Golf News
Plans Unveiled for Rebirth of Austin's Lions Municipal Course
Roy Bechtol and his design for the remodel of Austin's venerable but outdated Lions Municipal Golf Course were featured in a front-page article in the Austin American-Statesman on Sunday, July 6. Bechtol, who was raised in Austin minutes from the course and whose Bechtol Golf Design is based in the capital city of Texas, collaborated with Hall of Fame golfer and fellow Austinite Tom Kite on an initial "renewal" of the course.
"With this plan, we are preserving the game of golf on this tract," Bechtol said. "This proposed plan is - if you will - a rebirth of muny."
The fitness-themed development plan with a longer and more modern golf course routed by Bechtol and Kite is being fashioned by a group of influential business leaders, including Austin entrepreneur Pike Powers. Although costs and other details remain undetermined, the proposal includes a hotel, spa, clubhouse, conference center and 16-acre practice space, as well as 18-20 development parcels sprinkled around and inside the course.
The University of Texas System owns the rolling timberland Lions Municipal has occupied since it opened in 1928. Now the university's Board of Regents is considering ways to use the valuable property, part of a 500-acre gift nearly a century ago from Col. George Washington Brackenridge.
The regents retained a New York planning firm in May to create at least two distinct sets of recommendations. Those are due in a year.
There have been two previous efforts to keep Lions preserved as an affordable place for golf in a leafy, tranquil setting within the affluent Tarrytown neighborhood in west Austin. But with state financial support in decline and a desire to elevate the school's status among American universities, the regents have been given the mandate to extract more income out of the property on the northern banks of Lady Bird Lake.
The current lease between the city of Austin and the university, scheduled to expire in 2019, allows the city to operate Lions for $345,600 a year through 2009, when the amount increases incrementally. About 67,000 rounds a year are played at Lions Municipal.
Including the golf course lease, revenue from the 345-acre Brackenridge tract amounts to about $940,000 a year for UT-Austin. The land could be worth far more and, in 2006, James Huffines, the chairman of the regents at the time, ordered a 10-member task force to devise a plan "to utilize the asset to the maximum benefit" of UT-Austin.
Five of the holes Bechtol and Kite have designed would be on or near the lake. The other 13 holes would be built on the existing Lions site. As outlined in the Austin American-Statesman story by Kevin Robbins, the 7,133-yard layout would include new water features and a stream leading to Lady Bird Lake. Long "creek" bunkers, similar to the sandy waste areas found at courses in North and South Carolina, would define the edges of many holes.
The old Lions clubhouse would be restored, with the goal of converting it into an Austin golf museum. The new course would preserve the par-4 16th (known as Hogan's Hole after Ben Hogan played the course and singled out the hole for its difficulty) and return it on the scorecard to No. 7, its original place in the Lions sequence.
Bechtol knows every contour of Lions Municipal. He grew up near the course, attended nearby schools and hopped the fence to play the track as a boy. "I've lived and breathed the place for 50 years," Bechtol said. "This plan saves [the] Muny. It takes Muny to the next level. We are trying to blend reality with history."

Amy's constant negative packages bug me but NENE's over the top attitude bugs me more and she danced so slow tonight. ugh
Amy's constant negative packages bug me but NENE's over the top attitude bugs me more and she danced so slow tonight. ugh
I spy Evan Lysacek...
Were all those dancers in nene's dance really necessary tony? I mean c'mon.
And that dance was lack-luster......I feel like she could do more than he choreographs for her.
And Charlie didn't seem too upset or scared when they announced it, so I doubt he's going, lol
What the heck is Erin Andrews talking about? Didn't Tony dance with his shirt off wearing the pajama pants and sitting on the edge of the bed a few weeks ago?
Can we trade Erin and Peta for Kym Johnson? She's in the audience again. We don't have to go far!
I'm not as far along as the rest of you, but I'm assuming Charlie isn't safe - which doesn't mean he was in the bottom two for votes, remember.
And - I SOOOOO agree! I've really tried giving her a chance, but Erin just isn't cutting it. She says stuff that comes off as stupid because it's like she's not even really paying attention to what she's seen the celebs do on the show the past few weeks...
....What is wrong with Amy now?!?! Holy canoli! Poor girl.
Amy hurt her back. I'm wondering if this is going to be a full pull out like Billy Dee earlier in the season.
I'm not worried for Charlie. He always pulls it together when it counts, and I hope he makes it happen. I'm excited for his paso.
woooh I LOVED Charlies Paso!!
AND - LOVED Charlie and Meryl's interaction!!! <3 And I thought his dance this week was awesome!!!

Good tea with vanilla arome
Posted by Reviewer2480392 on Aug 13, 2012
Do not wait, this tea will be at full flavors. Vanilla gives predominantly aromatic flavor drink, and the taste is just a good tea. But many believe that if you drink it often, then get bored. To feel its smell, do not drink this tea all the time.
Heaven in a Cup :)
Posted by 5733193079890784266 on Dec 11, 2013
OMG, I was an avid coffee drinker for years, and only started drinking tea again, in the last few months, and was looking for an addition to my every day cup of tea, and found this absolute wonderful Heaven in a Cup....Delicious vanilla caresses the ever so gentle caramel, that provides a rich and delicious smooth taste. This is my forever favorite flavoured tea!!!!
from Belgium
Posted by Reviewer2516176 on Aug 16, 2011
Nice to drink once in a while, but not for everyday. A bit custard-like taste.
Posted by Reviewer2558128 on May 29, 2011
This aroma and taste are very nice. Especially, the best tea with milk~~!!
Not good..
Posted by Reviewer2051299 on Jan 19, 2012
I didn't like the taste of this at all. First of all it didn't taste nothing like caramel. I can't quite put a finger on what it tastes like.. Something weird and bitter. And it's too strong. And it feels like there's some kind of small particles that's getting stuck in my throat when swallowing it. This tea unfortunately goes in the trash..
Posted by Superkoxy on Apr 21, 2012
A pleasant mild flavor, not bad!

Posted by 5280615812874896036 on Dec 06, 2013
Artificial, weird taste. I was going to bin it, but my brother really liked it. So there is no way of knowing unless you buy it.
Not nice at all
Posted by 4782536685295490376 on Sep 09, 2013
I am very disappointed. It's way too bitter and doesn't taste like either vanilla or caramel. Couldn't finish the first cup.
Posted by Reviewer1263293 on Oct 13, 2015
Crazy horrible taste! If you like strong, sickly vanilla/caramel flavours, give it a try. It seems to be popular anyway so someone has to like it. If you think it's gonna be "vanilla with a hint of toffee", don't bother. It's got an extreme sickly caramel flavour.
Too much flavour
Posted by Reviewer3198646 on Oct 23, 2011
I have only tried this once, and I don't think I will try it again. The taste was too overwhelming for me, I had to throw it out. The design of the bow is nice though.

A man who died when his vehicle rolled into Topaz Lake on Friday has been identified as Frank McConnell, 74, of Topaz, according to the Mono County Sheriff's Office.
Fishing partner Michelle Vogel said she had just been talking to McConnell through the right passenger window when she turned away to check her bait.
She said McConnell had been at the site since 7 a.m., but sat in his Jeep with his two dogs Daisy and Moxy the whole time because his back hurt.
She'd known McConnell for three years going to the same fishing spot along Topaz Lake.
"Frank taught me so much about fishing and other things, too," she said. "We were fishing partners. He would call me up and give me reports from the lake. He'd been all over that lake."
McConnell would typically park his Jeep about a yard from the water and use the bumper to hold his fishing pole.
That day, though, Vogel said McConnell backed up a few yards away from the water about an hour or so before the vehicle drove in.
"He was never out of the Jeep," she said. "His back was bothering him. He was sitting next to my car and I told him I wanted to check my bait. I took a step away and then the Jeep started and was in the water. It just took seconds."
Vogel said she didn't even hear the Jeep go into gear.
"It was a really quiet car," she said. "When I turned around it was already in the water. I tried going after it but I was up to my waist in water and couldn't reach it. I had to scream to get the other guys down there and by the time they arrived it was out 20 feet."
Vogel said she knows that it was unlikely she could have done something to stop the Jeep from going into the lake.
"But in my heart I can't help but feel I could have done something," she said. "The last thing I saw was Daisy's little face in the window looking back at me. I don't know if I will ever be able to go back there and fish again without seeing her face."
McConnell's body was recovered on Friday evening and the vehicle was towed from the lake later that night.
McConnell was a well-known angler around the lake having won or placed in the Topaz Fishing Derby on several occasions.
An 8-pound, 2-ounce rainbow trout he caught in the 2005 Derby is mounted in the Topaz Lodge. Vogel said McConnell was a retired police officer and a veteran of the Laos campaign.
California Highway Patrol is the lead agency into the investigation of what caused the accident.
Final cause of death of McConnell will be determined by the Mono County Sheriff's Office upon completion of autopsy and toxicology results.
"He was the most amazing man I ever met in my life," Vogel said. "I'm not going to meet anyone like him ever again. He loved life, he loved his family and he loved to fish."
McConnell and his wife, Victoria, own a home at Topaz Lake.

In January, the 27-year-old Buena Vista Township native will be giving White House tours to foreign dignitaries - just one of the duties of a hand-picked social aide to the incoming president and his wife, according to a report in the Press of Atlantic City.
"If visiting foreign leaders come to the White House, I'll be expected to give them 'the tour,'" she said by phone Wednesday from her office in Kabul, Afghanistan's capital. "I'll have to study up."

Syncope in older patients may be caused by a variety of disorders, including hypotension, but frequently remains unexplained. Postprandial hypotension is a common disorder of blood pressure regulation in the elderly.
To determine the pathogenic mechanisms and potential role of postprandial hypotension in elderly patients with otherwise unexplained syncope.
We studied 16 elderly patients with unexplained syncope and nine elderly controls. Blood pressure, heart rate, forearm vascular resistance, plasma norepinephrine level, and cardiac and splanchnic blood volumes were measured before and after a 1680-kJ meal.
Eight elderly patients with syncope had postprandial hypotension, with a decline in supine mean arterial blood pressure of 17±2 mm Hg after a meal (P<.001). The blood pressure remained unchanged after the meal in the other patients with syncope and the controls. In patients with postprandial hypotension, systemic vascular resistance fell after the meal, while it remained unchanged in the other groups. Heart rate and plasma norepinephrine level increased to a similar extent in all three groups. Forearm vascular resistance increased only in the control subjects. Splanchnic blood volume increased by 26% (P<.01) in patients with syncope who had postprandial hypotension and by 22% (P<.01) in control subjects. Splanchnic blood volume remained unchanged in the patients with syncope without postprandial hypotension.
Postprandial hypotension may be an important causative factor in elderly patients with unexplained syncope. The evaluation of syncope in elderly patients should therefore include blood pressure measurements surrounding a meal. Elderly patients with syncope who have postprandial hypotension fail to maintain systemic vascular resistance, probably because of splanchnic blood pooling without a compensatory increase in peripheral vascular resistance.(Arch Intern Med. 1995;155:945-952)

Princess City Floral - Pocahontas, IA - Phone: (712) 335-4433
Bridal shops in Pocahontas are those which sell or prepare items relating to a bride or a marriage ceremony. There are not many bridal shops in Pocahontas that do not use the term 'designer' somewhere in the description of the dress they present. Nowadays in Pocahontas people have become so fashion-centric that all things they use need to carry a designer-tag, and bridal shops are no exceptions in cashing on this rage phenomenon. These are essentially wedding dress stores that sell anything from the trousseau, bridal accessories, bridal shoes, hair accessories, and other wedding accessories, etc, for the big day. Some of the best known bridal shops in Pocahontas are listed with 'YellowPagesGoesGreen'.

Women's Tennis Earns ITA Academic Accolades
