Key trio Scott Lycett, Andrew Gaff and Jack Darling have all re-signed with West Coast in a major coup for the club.
Gaff, 22, was due to come out of contract at the end of this season, but has signed a new two-year extension to remain with the Eagles.
Darling, 22, was not due to finish his existing deal until the end of the 2015 season, but the club has moved early to stave off any rival bids for the key forward.
All three players were born in West Coast's inaugural premiership year of 1992.
Lycett, 21, used his own Instagram account to announce this afternoon that he had locked away the lengthy deal, which guarantees he remains at the Eagles until the end of the 2018 season.
His re-signing was critical with veteran Dean Cox retiring at the end of this season.
The Eagles now have both of their first-choice ruckmen for 2015 locked away, with Nic Naitanui signing a five-year deal earlier this season.
Lycett has showcased his considerable potential in his fourth AFL season, playing 10 matches as part of the club's rotation of their rucks.
He booted four goals as a forward in West Coast's big win over Collingwood earlier this month and has also been influential around the stoppages.
Lycett used social media to express his delight at committing to the club for the long term.
"Would like to thank everyone that's helped me make the decision and I'm happy to announce that I am…STAYING AT WEST COAST for another 4 YEARS!!," Lycett posted.
"Amazing club with a great bunch of lads. Bring it on."
The South Australian's management had put contract talks on hold earlier in the season, raising fears that Lycett could be lured back to his native State after struggling for senior appearances until this year. Port Adelaide had been among potential suitors who had openly expressed an interest.

"Applying for ETA Competitive Grants: A Web-Based Toolkit for Prospective Applicants"
ETA has launched a Web-based toolkit on applying for competitive grants. The toolkit is an online suite of resources designed to help prospective grant applicants – in particular, smaller entities such as community-based and faith-based groups, as well as organizations that have not previously applied for Federal funding – understand the process for applying for ETA competitive grants and develop high-quality grant applications.
"Job Seeker Tools"
This page offers the results of a U.S. Department of Labor challenge to the public to recommend their favorite career sites and to provide the sites themselves with a chance to raise awareness about the tools they offer. The top-rated sites in six categories: general job boards, niche tools, career tools, career exploration tools, Web 2.0, and Other, are featured.
From the Economic Policy Institute http://epi.org
"Economy Track: An Interactive Look at the U.S. Labor Market"
Launched in October 2009, Economy Track provides the tools to track the recession and unemployment crisis, with the option of focusing specifically on trends by state, race/ethnic group, gender, occupation, and education level. Bringing together up-to-date and historic data, this site also provides important context by comparing the current economic downturn to past recessions. All of the data and methodology underlying Economy Track's graphs are downloadable and fully sourced, with some data available exclusively from this new Economic Policy Institute resource.
"American Jobs Plan: A Five-Point Plan to Stem the U.S. Jobs Crisis"
The United States is experiencing its worst jobs crisis since the Great Depression. Nearly 16 million Americans are out of work. This national crisis demands a bold plan to put people back to work. The Economic Policy Institute proposes the American Jobs Plan, a plan that would create at least 4.6 million jobs in one year. This paper includes EPI's comprehensive research and analysis of the jobs crisis—how severe it has grown and why—and the details of EPI's American Jobs Plan.
"For Job Seekers, No Recovery in Sight: Why Prospects for Job Growth and Unemployment Remain Dim"
In this briefing paper, the authors outline what they describe as "an excruciatingly long lag time" between economic recovery and improved job prospects, which has characterized some of the most recent periods of so-called economic recovery.
"The Effects of Citizenship on Family Income and Poverty
This paper finds that immigrant workers who are U.S. citizens enjoy higher wages and lower levels of poverty than non-citizens, and that this benefit remains even after controlling for other factors.
"Growing White-Minority Unemployment Gap Expected to Widen Even Further in 2010"
As the nation braces for rising unemployment, which forecasters say will reach 10.7% in the third quarter of this year, a new forecast shows even grimmer times ahead for the nation's African Americans and Hispanics.
"American Indians and the Great Recession--Economic Disparities Growing Larger"
The wide gaps in employment and unemployment rates between whites and American Indians have only widened in the past two years.
"Getting Good Jobs to People of Color"
The lack of good jobs that pay decent wages and provide health care and retirement benefits is a serious problem for all Americans and an especially dire problem for America's people of color. This paper examines the rate of employment in so-called "good jobs" for different demographic groups.

"Making Green Work: Best Practices in Green-Collar Job Training"
This guidebook was developed through the Oakland (CA) Green Jobs Corps, a program to connect people who face barriers to employment with opportunities in green construction, solar installation, home weatherization, and other green fields. It was developed for workforce development providers seeking to build equitable and effective green-collar job training programs and for government officials responsible for managing and providing resources for green workforce development.

"Mapping Green Career Pathways: Job Training Infrastructure and Opportunities in Michigan" "(Ohio)" "(Wisconsin)"
The Apollo Alliance and the Corporation for a Skilled Workforce have teamed up to identify components of Michigan, Ohio and Wisconsin's workforce development infrastructure that can be better integrated and scaled up to help fill jobs in the clean energy sector. According to the reports, many of the elements of a green training infrastructure already exist in each state, but there are still gaps along the green career pathway that must be filled through stronger, more integrated training programs.

"The Adult Learner and the Applied Baccalaureate: What We Have Learned So Far"
The Adult Learner and the Applied Baccalaureate project documents the applied baccalaureate phenomenon in the United States, including the extent to which applied baccalaureate programs target adult learners. Recognizing the vital link between a healthy economy and a well-educated adult workforce, this project documents educational opportunities as well as public policy and policy-oriented initiatives associated with applied baccalaureate degrees awarded by associate degree-granting and traditional baccalaureate degree-granting institutions. The project is also designed to identify factors that influence the development and sustenance of these degree options for adult learners, and forecast the likelihood that these degrees will continue to meet the needs of adult learners seeking baccalaureate-level employment.

"The Critical and Emerging Role of Workforce Investment Boards: How Federal Policy Can Incite Workforce Innovation"
The anticipated reauthorization of the Workforce Investment Act provides an opportunity to set a strategic policy framework and encourages the blending of evidence-based practice with innovation in a way that helps people, firms, and communities – and in turn, the nation – thrive. Legislative and regulatory changes to WIA, as well as clear definitions delineating the roles of state and local boards, can incentivize increased collaboration and relationship building, and encourage disparate economic development, education, and workforce systems to come together under a common goal of preserving or generating regional and global economic competiveness and greater prosperity.
From Data Quality Campaign http://www.dataqualitycampaign.org/
"Education and Workforce Data Connections: A Primer on States' Status"
As DQC survey results show, many states have greater capacity to use their rich longitudinal data to answer key policy questions related to serving students in K-12 education. By linking education and workforce data, states increase their ability to answer new questions that affect a broader range of students.

"2010: Closing the Expectations Gap: Fifth Annual 50-State Progress Report on the Alignment of High School Policies with the Demands of College and Careers"
Since Achieve launched the American Diploma Project (ADP) Network at the National Education Summit on High Schools in February 2005, state leaders across the country have been hard at work aligning their standards, graduation requirements, assessments and accountability systems with the expectations of colleges and employers. To monitor state progress in adopting the college and career readiness agenda, Achieve conducts an annual survey of all 50 states and the District of Columbia on the key college- and career-ready policies that form the basis for the ADP Network.

The tasks of the provincial administration can be classified into two categories
- Responsible for promotion the prosperity and well-being of its inhabitants.
- Responsible for the implementation of certain laws and measures issued by the national government: shared administration.
The Provincial administration consists of three elements:
- The Provincial Council . This is the biggest administrative body. Once every four years the inhabitants of Fryslân elect a new Provincial Council. The councilors thus elected represent the interests of the Frisian population. The number of Councilors of a province depends on the number of inhabitants. In the case of Fryslân, there are 43 councilors.
- The Provincial Executive. The members each have their own portfolios, being the specific responsibilities assigned to them. Together, they are responsible for the daily management of the province.
The King's Commissioner
The King's Commissioner presides over the Meetings of the Provincial Council. This means that in this capacity he is to ensure that the meeting passes off in an orderly manner. During the meeting, he is not allowed to vote on the subject discussed. In addition, the King's Commissioner presides over the meeting of the Executive. In these meetings, though, he is entitled to the vote. He also has another important tasks. Together with the other members of the Executive he represents the interests of the Province Fryslân with the national government in The Hague and the European authorities in Brussels. Frequently he pays working visits to the Frisian municipalities. If necessary, he mediates in administrative conflicts. He also advices the Minister of the Interior for appointment of mayors for the Frisian Municipalities. In the event of calamities, he has coordinating powers in the fields of public order en security.

The file could not be found. Please check the download link. is not god LInk
hey bro.. I've downloaded the malaysia map and already install it... But when I browse the map.. It says no map...
Can you tell me why ar?? Please..
recently reviewed Nuvi 1370T, including a 4.3in screen, text-to-speech conversion (which enables the device to announce street names), Bluetooth phone connectivity, and lane assist with junction view (so you can see simulated highway signs).The 1690 is slightly thicker and about half an ounce heavier than the 1370T, however; and unlike the 1370T, it includes multisegment routing with route optimization.
Navigating with the Garmin Nuvi 1690 mirrored the experience we've had with other Nuvi GPS devices. The 1690 generated good routes with no surprises, and its text-to-speech feature worked as expected.
GPS/Satnav reviews
Lane assist with junction view provided a clear visual for our highway exit tests. The Bluetooth phone interface paired easily with a LG LX9900 phone and worked well as a speakerphone. We were disappointed that the Bluetooth interface - like the ones in other devices in Garmin's Nuvi 200 and Nuvi 1000 product series, but unlike the ones in the company's Nuvi 700 and Nuvi 800 series - couldn't read the contacts and call history from the phone. We had expected the better Bluetooth interface on the premium-priced Garmin Nuvi 1690.
The menu structure on the Garmin Nuvi 1690 is in essence the same as that on other Nuvis, though on the 1690 various connected NuLink services are sprinkled throughout the menus. Most of these services are, for the most part, logically located in the appropriate menus.
For example, the connected services in the tools menu are Flight Status, Weather, Ciao, and Currency. Under flight status, you can check flight numbers and search arrivals or departures. Checking weather gives you the current day's forecast for your current location along with a five-day forecast. The device also provides current conditions for New York City, Chicago, and Los Angeles; but you can't specify other locations. Ciao aggregates multiple location-centric social networks such as GyPSii and Buddy Beacon. Finally, the currency exchange function updates exchange rates daily, so you'll always have the latest information.
Garmin lists NuLink's other connected services under the familiar Where To menu. The first screen offers Google Local search as one option and White pages as another. With White pages you can look up a phone number by name and location or you can enter a phone number, and the Garmin Nuvi 1690 will do a reverse lookup - a very convenient feature. From the results screen, you can start navigation or (if you have paired the device with a Bluetooth-capable phone) call the number.
Google Local provides online access to same 13 POI categories covered by the Points of Interest icon. You can use Google Local to search nearby, in a different city, in a recent destination, in a favourite destination, or - if you have an active route - along your current route; those are the same options you have when using the POI database. This is one place where the connected services could be better integrated: Why not combine the searches? When we're looking for a POI, we don't care whether it comes out of the internal POI database or from the Google Live connection.
The Where To menu lists such other NuLink services as fuel prices, movie times, and local events. You can search for nearby fuel prices for unleaded, midgrade, premium, or diesel. The prices seemed accurate in my sampling, but you can't search for the cheapest fuel price other than by scrolling through the list.
The movie times option is supposed to let you search by movie title or theater name for a specific date not more than five days in the future. (The movie search is only for nearby theatres.) In our tests, however, each time we tried to look up theatres or movie titles over a four-day period, the Garmin Nuvi 1690 issued an error message saying that the server was busy or that we weren't connected. (We were connected.) We advised Garmin of the glitch, which is lijkely to be fixed before the product ships to retailers.
NuLink is the data conduit for live traffic. It alerted me to nearby traffic delays and showed the expected rush-hour delays into Manhattan. As you would with the Navteq live traffic on other Nuvi T models, you'll occasionally see pop-up advertisements for nearby POIs.
i've installed this app.

Stopped here overnight to break up a journey between Scotland and Kent.
I had previously discovered Alston whilst walking the Pennine Way and the town does have a lot of interest with its narrow cobbled main street and narrow gauge railway but also does to be honest seem a little run down. However once inside I experienced a very warm welcome from arrival to departure. Food is high quality bar type food at a very reasonable prices. The bar was comfortably full with both residents and locals on a Friday evening. The most comfy bed and duvet I experienced in a week away from home. Definitely my sort of place (they even have real marmite jars on each table during breakfast!) and I will certainly be staying again. ps the B road from Alston to Middleton in Teesdale through upper Teesdale is a scenic delight and one of the norths best kept secrets

Funding is critical for rain and stream gauges
February 13, 2013 —
On March 1, 16 rain gauges and 18 stream gauges used to measure water flows in rivers and streams throughout New York's Marcellus Shale region will be turned off.
The U.S. Geological Survey can't afford to operate the gauges anymore. Long depended upon as reliable sources of information, the gauges are useful in predicting floods and tracking river flows over time. Stream flow gauges also alert officials to when a stream's water level becomes too low to support aquatic life. Losing these data collectors couldn't come at a worse time for New York communities, many of which are still reeling from the effects of recent floods. And, as the state closes in on developing regulations for Marcellus Shale development, losing these key sources of information could prove detrimental to dozens of streams and rivers in the Southern Tier and Finger Lakes areas, in the exact places where gas drilling would most likely occur according to a statement made by Governor Cuomo's administration last summer.
New Yorkers deserve to have more information about what's happening in their local waterways, not less. All that is needed to continue operating these gauges is $215,000. Given the kind of extreme weather the state has experienced in recent years, it's imperative that water levels in local streams and rivers be monitored closely, for state and local officials and residents, and for the trout and other species that rely upon adequate and consistent stream flows.
In the state's draft Marcellus Shale regulations and also in its rules governing water withdrawals, New York points to these gauges as a critical part of its plan to manage and oversee potential impacts of drilling-related water withdrawals on rivers and streams. Taking more than 30 gauges out of operation on rivers and streams in key counties in the Marcellus Shale region is shortsighted and could prove damaging to rivers, streams and aquatic life.
If and when Marcellus Shale development happens in New York, state regulators, residents and the gas and oil companies themselves will need detailed, real time information about what is happening in local waters. If too much water is taken out of a river or stream and used for gas drilling, these gauges would document the activity, setting off an alarm with state officials.

About Borealis Mountain Guides
Borealis offers professional guidance and instruction in all forms of mountain travel. We believe that mountains bring out the best in us, and that there is always more to learn—about the mountains and about ourselves. We meet or exceed industry standards in training and certification for guiding, medical response, and environmental stewardship. We are not just working guides but authors, explorers, and educators, and we strive to bring depth and authenticity to every trip.
About mountain guiding
The work of a mountain guide is to bring people into the mountains, and to help them learn how to move over rock, snow and ice in a wilderness setting. A guide must manage risk in a dynamic environment, and must strike a balance between persistence and prudence while trying to reach the summit. The guide's work takes many forms:
- Teaching skills courses on rock and ice climbing, glacier travel and crevasse rescue, and ski touring.
- Guiding climbers of all levels on ascents chosen for pleasure, for challenge, or for educational value.
- Guiding skiers up and down complex, glaciated mountains.
- Guiding long traverses and expeditions in remote areas, on foot and on skis.
- Teaching courses on avalanche safety.
The western tradition of mountain guiding began in the Alps of France and Switzerland over two hundred years ago, and has spread to alpine mountains all over the world. In the Northwest, these activities frequently take place in a wild setting, far from roads and human settlements. A guide strives to be a resource for all those who love mountain travel, and to provide a rich experience with reasonable risks to clients of all abilities. If you would like to learn more about guiding, drop us a line or visit www.AMGA.com.
Beyond Skiing and Climbing
We don't like one dimensional trips, and we suspect you don't either. When we travel toward a range or a peak, we want to experience the cultural and natural landscape every way we can. Notably, this means a lot of good food. Here in Chamonix we like to stop by the alpage for some some hearty Savoyard fare–made with cheese from cows who graze the slopes we just skied. In Italy we find local wines that pair well with the gnocchi and ravioli we adore. And in the great Pacific Northwest, we have unearthed mouth watering micro-brews, wild salmon and blueberry ice cream to die for. When we are not skiing, climbing, or dining, we are on the look out for clues to the history and inner life of these landscapes: from powder runs to fondue, from snow crystals to animal tracks, we love mountains.

Arachu kalaki - side dish for poricha kuzhumbu
Arachu kalaki is a very popular dish from kerala. As I belong to Tirunelveli in tamil nadu, we have some dishes from kerala in our staple diet like Olan which I had posted ages ago.
This is made from small(really small) raw mangoes which is mixed with rock salt and chilly powder in a barani( container for pickles especially). As it ages, the salt brings out the water, the raw mango shrinks, softens, absorbs the flavours making it suitable for consumption. I will try to post the recipe for this pickle sometime in future.
So then whenever poricha kuzhumbu (my hubby calls it poricha kootu, I think natives from Tanjore call it that way) is made, arachu kalaki is a surely prepared along with it.We used to love it when mom made this when we were kids. When I got a bottle of maavadu /vadu maangai from our relatives sometime ago, I make it a point to make this along with poricha kuzhumbu( have made it several times by now actually). And I was quite excited when I made this for the first time.
It is really delicious and makes a excellent side dish.
- Combine the maangai , coconut, green chillies and ginger in a blender and grind it to a smooth paste adding few drops of water. Add the curd to this paste and mix well.
- Heat the oil in a pan. Add mustard seeds, udid dal , asafoetida and curry leaves. When it crackles ,add it to the curd mixture. Mix well.
Serve with rice and poricha kuzhumbu.

Doctors will be able to prevent data on their performance being released under the new league table system set to be introduced next month.
Surgeons and doctors are being contacted by the NHS to ask whether their data can be released as they are covered by data protection laws and therefore have to give their consent.
Those who refuse to do so will not have their data published and will not be identified as not having had their data published. It was hoped that the new system would help drive up health standards in the UK by exposing sub-standard doctors,

Sharp's Getting Gamey
Sharp wants to sell LCD TVs to everyone, including gamers. They call gamers a "special market". For these "special" people, Sharp is offering the second generation Gaming GP-3 Series of 1080p LCD HDTVs. If you're a die-hard gamer with $1,599 to spend on a 32-inch LCD TV, you can have your choice of piano black, dark red wine, and white.
The sets are slim, include a swivel stand, and have a "Game Mode" that gooses the picture for game playing. The models also include Sharp's Vyper Drive game mode that's supposed to eliminate perceptible lag time between game console input and the display. Nothing was said about its ability to eliminate imperceptible lag time, however.

Villa Canto Dois is situated in Albufeira, Algarve. Albufeira, is one of the prettiest coastal towns of the Algarve. Located in the district of Faro, Albufeira was once a moorish fortress and fishing village, but has been brought into the 21st century as a thriving travel destination without losing its historical charm. The surrounding coast is rich in sheltered sandy bays with turquoise clear water, ideal for sunbathing, swimming and snorkelling. In the daytime, you can explore the ancient caves, accessible by boat, where you can even find some of the local sea life. During the evening, Albufeira is the perfect location for vibrant nightlife along with its many restaurants and bars.
Vilamoura, is a pretty pine-forest area of the Algarve with sandy beaches, marina and many golf courses. The region is now environmentally protected making it a very special location for a holiday.

Also within the Vilamoura area are four golf courses, a vibrant marina, a tennis and sports club, an excellent riding school, a shooting club, cinema and a varied selection of restaurants and bars.
Praia Saint Rafael, also known as St Raphael Beach, is one of the most beautiful beaches in the area of Albufeira. The soft fine sand is 'kissed' by clear warm water and is bordered by unusual limestone rock formations, shaped by the wind and sea over the centuries. For those who are looking for a secluded location, several small coves are hidden between the craggy formations. The beach has been awarded a prestigious 'Blue Flag'.
Armacao de Pera, known locally as the 'old town', is a traditional fishing village with one of the finest sweeping sandy beaches - which has been completely protected from any development. The beach is bordered (west side) by the delightful caves 'Senhora da Rocha and Porches'; the red cliffs above the caves topped by green pines are a spectacular sight. Set behind the beach are excellent restaurants. In the town you will find shopping and numerous bars and cafes.

The old forms of media have seen better days. Newspapers are losing subscribers daily to internet blogs and internet media that provide up to the minute information impossible to be delivered in the classic format. No longer do people need to wait for the paper to be delivered in the wee hours of the night to their doorstep. Barnes and Noble (as well as others) has noticed this trend and is focussed on bringing content to users the way they have become accustomed to. Over a year ago they launched the first Nook, an e-ink reading device to deliver books, newspapers and magazines to their customers in an instant. The device sold well and launched B&N into the emedia segment. But, using the e-ink display had its drawbacks. Page load times are noticeably slow, magazines and newspapers looked disappointing at best, and there was still a vast amount of information and content to be consumed that an e-ink display simply cannot bring to the table Fast forward to today and they decided to give users another choice in the market, the Nook Color ($250). How does the new ereader fair in this increasingly intense market? Is the lcd screen trade-offs worth it while reading books?
update: Barnes & Noble just launched version 1.1 which adds pinch to zoom in the web browser among many other things. In real life use, the pinch to zoom does not equal the smoothness of the iPad or other Android phones. Hopefully it will get ironed out when they update with Android OS 2.2 which brought many performance enhancements to the Android platform. The overall feel since the update has greatly improved. The UI is more fluid and natural, while the web browsing has been improved when scrolling and general responsiveness.

Debi Lee, Portales city manager, said the purpose a Friday water meeting was to create a history of the events leading to the recent water outage and find out what can be done differently next time.
Managers and directors for the city of Portales discussed every aspect of response from each department and talked about what can be done differently in the future.
"In my 33 years of municipality experience, I have not had a situation like this occur," Lee said. "Overall I was happy with how we handled the situation. I have received letters and e-mails of support for the work that was done."
One of the things they would like to do differently is have an emergency medical technician on site for the workers. Chuck Haman of the Portales Fire Department and Roosevelt County emergency management coordinator said there is a need for a safety officer to help with workers suffering from exhaustion and hypothermia.
Joe Ramirez, utility superintendent, said water department employees worked continuously from late Friday night to late Saturday night to get the water running again.
Another thing they would like to see is GIS (Global Information System) mapping in Portales to show were all the natural gas, water, utility and sewer lines are and where the water valves are. Lee said city officials applied for a grant in January from the state of New Mexico to pay for GIS mapping. She said they will know in March if they received the money.
Lee said she would also like to have a contact list similar to the one at the Portales Police Department in case of emergencies.
Jeff Gill, Portales police chief, said he was contacted on Saturday afternoon by New Mexico Health Department officials to close down restaurants in Portales. Gill told the group that for the most part restaurant managers readlily complied.
Portales water department officials concede there is a need for water valves and upgrades but they know they'll be costly.
"There are areas that are going to need money to fix," Tom Howell, public works director said.
Some of the maps the water department has are outdated. Ramirez said the MP NexLevel employees have been helping mark water valves during their work on the fiber-optic project for Yucca Telecom.
Portales Fire Department Chief Raul Muniz said firefighters will be testing hydrants in March to see how much water pressure is in each of them. This will also be useful information for the water department in their updating of pipeline maps, officials said.

Consumers are demanding more than ever from their online
experience. As evidenced by the overwhelming popularity of
Apple's iPhone and the more than 800 million app downloads
to date, the user experience is what's driving today's interests
and demands.
Today, you have to overcome certain obstacles to ensure that your website provides
optimal user experiences. Often, pre-existing technology prevents companies from
realizing their Web business goals. Many sites don't fully support all browsers, some
aren't user-friendly for the disabled and others are not optimized for Internet-enabled
mobile devices.
Having the right Web content management (WCM) solution is imperative to overcoming
the hurdles to creating a successful website. The right WCM solution enables
you to rapidly respond to changing consumer needs and market conditions, and
ensures that your organization has a solid foundation from which to leverage its Web
With hundreds of different options available, narrow the field by making some key
decisions upfront including choosing between: open source or commercial; enterprise
content management or Web-specific; and Java or Microsoft .NET.
Open Source or Commercial
Choosing between open source and commercial options immediately reduces the
number of solutions to consider. On the surface it might seem to be simply a matter
of available resources. But there are several key differences between open source and
commercial solutions including, but not limited to cost. Organizations with little
open source experience should consider the following factors before making a final
1. Open source isn't synonymous with free. While there are no license fees, support
fees and development and maintenance costs can be higher than with commercial
2. To choose open source you must be willing to forego commercial-grade support,
training and enhancements.
3. Open source may not deliver the performance, security, reliability and functionality
needed to sustain a high-quality, compelling customer experience.
Enterprise Content Management or Web-Specific
Many enterprise content management (ECM) solutions can deliver
basic Web publishing capabilities, but are primarily structured
around managing documents and can only create static websites.
A structured, Web-specific WCM enables non-linear navigation
and fine-grained control of individual pieces of content — all
necessary to deliver a dynamic, optimized site that enables flexibility
and scalability without the complexity of page-oriented ECMs.
The ideal WCM is a valuable marketing tool with capabilities
ECMs generally lack out of the box.
Java or Microsoft .NET
Consider whether your IT organization has standardized on Java
or Microsoft .NET or both, and evaluate your WCM needs.
Beware of WCM solutions that claim to accommodate both
Java and .NET as they often result in product deficiencies or far
greater overhead requiring you to implement both to access full
capabilities. You will want to choose a solution that caters to one
or the other technology, to keep operations streamlined and training
requirements reasonable.
Until recently Web publishing was primarily centered on linear,
document-oriented concepts. But to support the requirements of
today's websites focusing more on user experiences, organizations
need a WCM designed to deliver enterprise-scale flexibility, scalability,
and adaptability.
Evaluating a WCM Solution from the Business Perspective
Business users and decision makers must realize that a WCM solution
isn't just an IT technology of choice — it can also meet Web
business objectives. Consider the following criteria:
Evaluating a WCM Solution from the IT Perspective
Developers and IT should evaluate solutions based on the
underlying infrastructure, development tools, and capabilities.
Evaluate your solution based on the following criteria to ensure
your development staff has the right tools for your overall website
Because of the many options for website owners and the importance
of a stable WCM, a thorough evaluation process is needed
before deciding on a solution. Make sure all angles are examined,
as oversights can lead to time-consuming and costly delays.
Consider Expert Advice
Leading analysts or specialty advisers can provide insight into
WCM vendors and implementations to understand which solutions
suit your business requirements. Specialized websites also
offer free valuable information, paid-for reports, or vendor selection
services. CMS Watch (cmswatch.com), CMSWire
(cmswire.com), and CMSmatrix.org offer news, forums and other
resources about WCM solutions.
Include Developers in the Evaluation Process
Lastly, ensure your development team is familiar with the WCM
solution. Consider the following technical evaluation steps to
ensure your developers get a clear view of the core functions:
To truly understand the importance of the WCM decision, consider
the benefits your business will see by ranking higher than
competitors on Google, getting to market weeks faster when
responding to changing market conditions and converting 50 percent
or more of site visitors.
The right solution will help your website optimization efforts
from the search engines to the user experience and beyond.

Virgil Huston 04-21-2009 5:55 PM
This is one of the most misleading and biased articles on web content management systems I've seen. I have written a rebuttal at www.acqal.com/.../busting-4-myths-about-open-source-162.html
Website Magazine was the only free industry trade pub I ever actually read. Articles like this (where I know the topic) make me question what other articles have been just as inaccurate.
Paul Markun 04-22-2009 9:37 PM
In fairness to Website Magazine's excellent reputation and quality product, I would like to address this critical posting by Mr. Huston.
Mr. Huston is in the commercial business of providing professional services with Typo3 and other open source solutions. He of course has a vested interest in presenting those in the best light from his perspective.
Let's examine his concerns.
"1. Open source isn't synonymous with free. While there are no license fees, support fees and development and maintenance costs can be higher than with commercial software."
The difference between a commercial product and open source is that Commercial products require configuration in order to be set up, while open source typically involve far more custom coding. While "firing" your Agency may seem a simple solution to Mr. Huston, with that Agency is all the intellectual property that went into that custom code- an investment most organizations are rightfully reluctant to walk away from.
Websites today are enterprise class, business applications that represent considerable investment from marketing and other organizational stakeholders as well as technical investment. They aren't pet technology projects that can be easily walked away from.
A Commercial vendor like Sitecore has literally hundreds of certified implementation Partners who are professional services experts. Unlike a fully custom coded project, with a commercial product like Sitecore they implement highly creative and robust website solutions based on an established and supported code base-which is the transportable license clients pay for.
"2. To choose open source you must be willing to fore go commercial-grade support, training and enhancements."
We lack details from Mr. Huston to support his remarks here. For example, commercial-grade support can include service availability for 7 days per week, 24 hours per day, 1 hour response time, with engineering teams that follow the sun. Commercial organizations have it. It is spelled out on Sitecore's website, for example. There is no mention of this level commitment or resource availability on Typo3's website, for example.
Finally we get to this.
"3. Open source may not deliver the performance, security, reliability and functionality needed to sustain a high-quality, compelling customer experience."
Leading analysts have surveyed the mid to large enterprise market for website content management software and pointed out by far the vast majority is either Java or .NET based, with open source trailing far behind. This is the very market that is most concerned about performance, security, reliability and functionality as they push their websites harder with very high traffic volumes, a higher hacker attraction due to their market prominence, visitor expectations for more complete functionality, and the resulting concerns for reliability since this is all the more complicated.
Are there exceptions- of course. That is why the wording used is "may not". But Open Source for Web CMS is the distinct minority in the enterprise space. So rather than speculate, it is simpler to look at the analyst's market share numbers.
Despite our differences, my critic and I share common ground in is the belief that Professional Services firms, from Interactive Agencies, Web Design organizations or Technical Integration firms, are critical to the successful design and implementation of compelling websites. Sitecore refers to these firms as our Channel Partners. That is not a view common to most commercial web CMS companies, unlike Sitecore.

Dave Chakrabarti 04-30-2009 8:04 PM
I just subscribed, and unfortunately, this was the first post I read. I must say, I'm disappointed at the lack of editorial oversight displayed here. Would you have let a high school Mac fanatic write a "Windows vs. Mac OSX: How to Choose Your OS" article?
Paul, your article is offensive to many CMS professionals because it mindlessly regurgitates common open source myths that proprietary software vendors have perpetuated for years (and which the open source community has debunked for about as long).
"The difference between a commercial product and open source is that Commercial products require configuration in order to be set up, while open source typically involve far more custom coding."
-Not true. Bryght has offered incredibly low-priced, hosted CMS solutions based on the Drupal CMS platform for years. These are literally turnkey systems to start up, with no configuration required. Drupal, Wordpress, and Joomla all provide an out-of-the-box experience. Of course, enterprise clients will frequently need customization, but many developers outside your proprietary world will tell you that this is far easier working within the context of a healthy open source ecology than it would be otherwise.
"For example, commercial-grade support can include service availability for 7 days per week, 24 hours per day, 1 hour response time, with engineering teams that follow the sun."
How is this a rebuttal? If you "...lack details from Mr. Huston to support his remarks here" ...then you haven't done your homework. Red Hat, Rackspace, Canonical, and several other companies offer SLAs and enterprise level support for open source projects. Acquia is one company doing the same for enterprise projects using the Drupal CMS. There are others. As the author, you should know more about this space than your readers before putting your foot in your mouth, right?
"It is spelled out on Sitecore's website, for example. There is no mention of this level commitment or resource availability on Typo3's website, for example."
...So you looked at one software *platform's* website, instead of the consulting companies that implement it at the enterprise level, for an SLA or paid enterprise support options? Either you lack enough experience with the open source ecology to frame this article in a fair and balanced way, or you're taking cheap potshots at your critics.
"Open source may not deliver the performance, security, reliability and functionality needed to sustain a high-quality, compelling customer experience."
While I appreciate that you've hedged your bets with that "may", your depiction of open source is still very misleading. I'm not sure how you explain Sony BMG, Fast Company, NASA, IBM, Chicago Public Radio, Popular Science, etc. Those are examples just from the Drupal world; I'm sure every healthy open source CMS community has a similar, and rapidly growing, list of examples.
In closing, I'll say that I *do* agree that there are issues with open source in the enterprise, just as there are issues with proprietary software in the enterprise. Similarly, there are issues with open source in the SMB, nonprofit, government, and academic sectors, all of which you seem to have overlooked. But you do your readers a disservice when, instead of researching, understanding, and comparing these differences in ecology, you take the easy way out and parrot long-held proprietary marketing pitches in the guise of facts.
This article will most definitely cost this magazine subscriptions; any idea how many open source CMS implementers are out there?
Kyle Bailey 06-10-2009 3:32 PM
I for one agree with the article and its perspective. I am definitely biased as E-Cubed plays in the commercial CMS world much more than that of OpenSource. The OpenSource examples stated above for companies such as Sony, NASA etc are all great examples of OpenSoruce development done and supported by large organizations with extremely large IT teams.
In my experience the vast majority of E-Cubed's clients or prospects do not have those kinds of resources to dedicate to and support an OpenSource approach. They want and need a solid developer that can deliver a cost effective and growth based platform for eBusiness that represents the least amount of risk possible. The solution cannot burden existing teams of IT staff who are already tapped.
The majority of OpenSource projects that I have been exposed to in our local economy are smaller scale solutions that are typically not 'Mission Critical' although they may be important from a marketing standpoint. Most of these are sub 1,000 page sites and almost all are open and many are interested in looking at or exploring commercial CMS tools as they do not feel that they are 100% satisfied by their existing solution although they may be completely happy with their design/development partner.
Developers need to examine a clients' needs and determine what CMS represents a best fit for a client and make a recommendation based on that approach and not simply try and squeeze a square peg into a round hole. Almost all developers that I have met and spoken to have no experience working with commercial applications and cannot truly call themselves agnostic. If all you have is a hammer then the world looks like it is all nails from your perspective.
Commercial CMS solutions including Sitecore, Ektron, Kentico of which E-Cubed is an authorized partner in Vancouver and Calgary provide a very stable platform for companies that do not want to be dependent on highly custom code and the various risks associated with OpenSource technologies.
The commercial CMS solutions that we provide do not require large teams of dedicated IT staff to continually monitor the CMS solution and any potential security threats and bug fixes to core or plug-in inclusions.
E-Cubed makes less money by using and recommending commercial CMS implementations so you would think that it would be a bad decision not to choose OpenSource. We believe that our role as consultants is to provide our clients with the best long-term and most cost effective CMS publishing foundation to build on. OpenSource simply cannot provide that for the majority of our client base based on the level of continued support that is necessary to sustain the system and the custom code that must be utilized to deliver on their ever expanding needs.
From E-Cubed's experience the support available for OpenSource CMS systems is lousy. Answers from the 'community' come in all shapes and sizes most of which are answered by people who are not in any way qualified to provide answers at all. Many offers of help are accompanied by sales pitches for other services or plug-ins and while I like the concept of the community model I find it breaks down rapidly in the area for support.
The references to Bryght in an above post are great however Bryght's business model was not sustainable and they are now out of business. The fine people at Raincity who operated Bryght are great developers who know Drupal inside and out and their large scale Drupal offerings are top notch. They are a good example of a developer who provides true support as part of their offering.
What happens however if they as developers are no longer able to provide that ongoing support to clients who are running fully custom solutions based around both OpenSource and proprietary code/applications?
While no developer or commercial CMS application is immune from economic turmoil a commercial CMS offering has some distinct advantages since they have both an active developer network, dedicated support and service staff and a viable offering that could get absorbed by a financially stable partner if anything drastic came to pass.
That cannot be relied upon in the Drupal, Joomla world that most OpenSource developers use.
If the developer fails the client is immediately put in a highly risky situation with no one to call for support, service or direction and no phone number to get dedicated access to tried and true resources that can put them back on track to a successful project.
Developers need to be truthful of the risks and rewards for both approaches and openly state their biases and arguments fairly.
Clients also need to understand the pros and cons of both approaches and issue RFPs that are actually focused on achieving specific business results with measurable goals. They need staff who understand the CMS landscape and can compare objectively one system against another as well as the competing designers/developers.
Unfortunately many clients do not have that ability and believe too much of the marketing hype and propaganda from both camps. They base business decisions on fluffy proposals that seriously lack real substance because they find the price palatable and assume that the developer must have their best interest at heart.
Many developers in both camps make an attempt to pull the wool over these unsuspecting clients' eyes and deliver less than they should/can because of client trust. These decisions will ultimately be regretted in the sometimes not too distant future.
In closing I feel that both systems have their place in the World and both can and should coexist peacefully.

You just have to use some logic:
She has 8 red ones, 4 green ones, and 4 blue ones.
In the worst case the first 8 jellys would all be red, and the next 4 would all be either all green or all blue.
It is possible to have taken out 12 jellys and still not have all colors.
But once she takes out lucky 13 there is no possible way for her to NOT have all three colors.

Health Information Exchanges
A health information exchange allows healthcare providers to access clinical information about patients from other treating facilities. Rady Children's Hospital-San Diego participates in two health information exchanges: the San Diego Health Connect and Care Everywhere.
The San Diego Health Connect allows healthcare providers, clinics and hospitals to access electronic patient information from all participating sites for consenting patients. When a patient is seen by a Rady Children's provider for a diagnosis or treatment, the provider will search the health information exchange for outside records. This information should help providers make better-informed decisions and reduce the risk of patients receiving inappropriate treatment.
Along with Rady Children's, many healthcare organizations are sharing patient health information electronically through the San Diego Health Connect and Care Everywhere.
In the future, more doctors and healthcare provider organizations will be joining the Exchange. For the most current information on participating provider organizations, visit sdhealthconnect.org.
Rady Children's also participates in the Care Everywhere Health Information Exchange (Care Everywhere). Care Everywhere allows providers to search other treatment centers that use Epic, the electronic medical record system used at Rady Children's.
View treatment centers participating in Care Everywhere by state.
What Does This Mean for Patients?
Your child's doctors will be able to access medication lists, reported allergies, laboratory and radiology results, discharge summaries, history and physicals, progress notes, visits to other health care facilities and immunization records. Your child's electronic health information will be accessible only to doctors and health care personnel who are providing his or her medical care. Your child's electronic health information will only be stored within each treating provider's secure electronic medical record system. If you have not yet declared your preference about sharing your child's health information, the Exchange will release your child's health information only if your child is having an emergency.
When your child is seen at a Rady Children's clinical site, you will be given the option to either:
- Share your child's personal health information in all clinical encounters.
- Only share your child's personal health information in clinical encounters where the provider deems that your child is having an emergency, OR
- Never share your child's personal health information, even in an emergency.
Your consent to share your child's personal health information will apply to both San Diego Health Connect and Care Everywhere.
If you consent to share your child's personal health information, your child's information will be shared with:
- Providers who are treating your child
- The San Diego Immunization Registry
- San Diego County Public Health services as mandated by federal and state laws
Safe and Secure
Your child's electronic health information will be transmitted in a safe and secure manner. San Diego Health Connect will only store your child's identifying information and some markers about where your child has received care. The Exchange will not store any clinical information about your child.
Notifying Your Provider
- If your child has received care from another facility, please inform your provider at Rady Children's, Children's Primary Care Medical Group or Rady Children's Specialists of San Diego.
- If you take your child to another healthcare facility, please inform them of any of your child's visits to Rady Children's, Children's Primary Care Medical Group or Rady Children's Specialists of San Diego.

Survey Results
Adults returning from prison: Effect on youth gangs
Survey respondents for 1998 were asked how much their jurisdictions youth gang problem has been affected in the past few years by the return of gang-involved adults who have been in prison. Research suggests that involvement of ex-convicts in youth gangs increases the life of gangs and their level of violent crime, in part because of the ex-convicts increased proclivity to violence following imprisonment and the visibility and history they contribute to youth gangs (Howell and Decker, 1999). As shown in table 37, the most common response to the question of how much the return of gang-involved adults from prison has affected the youth gang problem within a jurisdiction was somewhat (39 percent), followed closely by very little (38 percent). Only 10 percent said their gang problem was very much affected, and 13 percent said not at all.
Table 38 shows that based on combined very much and somewhat responses, the return of gang-involved adults from prison has had the greatest effect on local gang problems in large cities (52 percent) and suburban counties (55 percent). The least effect was reported in small cities (30 percent) and rural counties (35 percent).
Table 39 shows that adults returning from prison have had a far greater impact on youth gangs in the West than in other regions. Combined very much and somewhat responses for the four regions were: West (61 percent), Midwest (45 percent), South (also 45 percent), and Northeast (42 percent).
