CSCO: Glimpses of Hope, Says Pac Crest; Ignore the SDN Hype
Pacific Crest networking analyst Brent Bracelin this morning writes that his tour of the Interop conference going on this week in Las Vegas suggest to him signs of life for the beleaguered networking industry in the second half of this year.
Bracelin notes that the data networkers as a group have sat out the tech rally this year, down 12% versus a 15% rise in the Standard & Poor's 500 index.
He concedes that "end demand still appears challenging," with "little evidence of a material improvement so far this quarter (outside of some pockets of strength in the supply chain)."
But Bracelin takes heart from positive chatter in the supply chain from networking component makers such as Broadcom (BRCM) and Cavium Networks (CAVM), followed by his colleagues Mike McConnell and John Vinh, respectively:
Outside of some of the next-generation private companies that were gaining share, the most optimistic commentary during Interop arguably came from the supply chain, specifically the communi- cation IC suppliers: Broadcom and Cavium Networks. Some of the optimism could be attributed to growing interest in merchant silicon (versus custom ASICs), but it did give us some hope that the strength in component orders within the enterprise data center could signal the beginning of a 2H recovery in overall networking demand.
Bracelin highlights Cisco Systems (CSCO), whose shares he rates Outperform, which shares are trading at a 41% discount to the S&P 500.
Bracelin thinks the biggest issue for Cisco's stock has been not weak market trends but rather the boogeyman of "sotware-defined networking," or SDN, a trend that he thinks for the moment is more full of hype than anything else:
The concept of a third-party software layer controlling and abstracting intelligence from hardware sounds compelling in PowerPoint. However, it has become increasingly clear over the last three months of SDN due diligence that there is a growing debate around the merits of OpenFlow-centralized controller models versus simple, virtual overlays. While customer in- terest remains very high in increasing IT agility through API orchestration tools, there is growing resistance to a wholesale disruption of storage and networking stacks that bring decades of hardened operating systems, network services and trusted mainte- nance/support. With the threat of SDN being front-of-mind with investors for the past year and valuation multiples near trough levels that we have not seen since 2009, we think that as the SDN hype cycle starts to die down, the data networking group could finally see some selling pressure relief, particularly if a 2H recovery materializes.
Mind you, Bracelin's comments come on the heels of an IPO for SDN outfit Cyan (CYNI) yesterday. Cyan shares, which priced at $11 and closed up slightly at $11.14, but the stock is down 3 cents today.
Cisco shares are up 14 cents, or 0.7%, at $20.97 this morning. The stock is up 7% this year.

After moving into a new home off Holly Hill Road several years ago, it didn't take Lake Charles resident Russell Tritico long to realize that a traffic problem was brewing in the neighborhood.
What has baffled him since 2005 is the length of time that has passed for officials with the state Department of Transportation and Development to come up with a solution to problems associated with increased traffic at the intersection of Holly Hill and West Prien Lake Road.
"I noticed immediately that was a problem, and traffic has increased there since my family moved in," Tritico said.
Tritico, a lawyer and businessman, sent a certified letter to the DOTD in October 2005 to put the state on "notice" that the location was a potential hazard. By putting the state on alert, the chance for potential traffic accident lawsuits getting favorable verdicts were bolstered.
"Ever since development of the Target mall, L'Auberge du Lac, Walmart, Sam's and I-210 (ramps at Nelson Road), traffic has greatly increased. Persons attempting to turn south off Prien Lake Road onto Holly Hill, as well as drivers attempting to enter Prien Lake Road from Holly Hill, going east or west, risk collision. At certain times traffic on Prien Lake Road is so heavy, drivers in all directions face an obstacle course," he wrote.
In July 2010, Tritico wrote another letter to DOTD asking if there were plans to "install an overhead signal at that location" yet.
In December of that year, Tritico sent another letter reminding DOTD that safety measures were needed at the intersection, especially since more people were driving on the stretch of road after improvements to Prien Lake Road.
DOTD responded to Tritico with a letter and explained the state's position on the installation of a traffic signal. State officials informed Tritico that a review of traffic studies indicated that a signal "would not be appropriate."
"Although traffic volumes on Holly Hill Road are relatively heavy, most movements turn right upon entering West Prien Lake Road. The primary benefactors of signalization at this intersection are motorists executing the left turn movement from Holly Hill road to proceed west on West Prien Lake Road. These left turn movements are relatively low in number during the peak traffic hours. Given the presence of a hill and curve on West Prien Lake Road to the east of this intersection, a traffic signal would create safety concerns through increase traffic queuing toward the crest of the hill (bridge)," reads DOTD's response.
State traffic officials also said plans for a solution were being put together and that the contract for the project was supposed to have been released for bid in the summer of 2011.
Today, a new hotel is being built on the north side of the intersection. Tritico contends that will only worsen the traffic. "It's a shame," he said.
On Friday, the American Press contacted DOTD about Tritico's concerns.
In an email, DOTD wrote, "DOTD has developed a project to install a roundabout at the intersection, taking into consideration the construction of the new hotel. The installation of a roundabout at this intersection will help to improve safety because of the slower speeds and the elimination of more severe crashes. Operation of the corridor is improved by smooth-flowing traffic with less stop-and-go than a signalized intersection."

Title: umm
Okay, the reason there is low volume of turning left off of Holly Hill onto West Prien Lake going west is because the traffic is heavy most motorists give up trying.... I wonder if they ever thought of that.

When a bug fix can save a journalist's life
One of the most exciting aspects of working on Internet technologies is how quickly the tools you build can spread to millions of users worldwide. It's a heady experience, one that has occurred time and again here in Silicon Valley. But there's also responsibility that attaches to that excitement. For every hundred thousand cases in which a tool improves someone's day, there is another case in which it's used in a life-or-death situation. And for online journalists working on high-risk material, or in high-risk places, that life may be their own or that of a source. That's why CPJ, together with Alexey Tikhonov from Kazakhstan's Respublika, Esra'a al-Shafei from the pan-Arab forum MidEast Youth, and activist Rami Nakhle from Syria, spent this week visiting and meeting with technologists, entrepreneurs, and thinkers in Silicon Valley.

Guarding POTUS
Original post made by Paul Losch, Community Center, on Jun 7, 2013
First of all, I think that it's great that he comes to see us. As best as I recall, George W. [portion removed] did not come here one time. Were we too smart for his Texas intellect?
The POTUS entourage blew though town about his time a year ago to raise money for his re-election campaign. It took place at the home of Melissa Meyers, now Yahoo CEO, at a typical north Palo Alto neighborhood, three blocks from my place.
Barricades everywhere, at least 50 motorcycle cops plus the armored limos driving along Middlefield to the street that shall not be named, but near the HP "Garage" home.
My daughter was on her way last evening walking to the CalTrain, and discovered a similar disruption on another nearby street, which also shall remain nameless. Incredible disruption, even for a mere pedestrian trying to do a normal thing.
I am glad that our President comes here, even if it is to raise money for campaigns. I prefer that to a President who chooses to not show up.
I will accept the inconveniences. They indicate that what we think and do around here is taken seriously in DC.

I marvel at all the posts that fall into the anti-Obama visit category. I, too, would rather our President visit while on his way to do business. Those that moan about traffic must be out of town every Friday night Stanford plays at home! Just wait to see what a Monday night Niner game does to 101 and 85 in a couple years!
Those that whine about the only reason being to raise money for various causes? Most curious if they object to the other side raising that kind of money. Personally, I agree with the posters that argue for taking money out of campaigns. A good public financing program, coupled with forcing TV stations (in exchange for using the public commons) should offer vastly reduced rates for political ads. Ass it stands, TV stations have their most profitable quarters during election cycles, with the political ads driving ad rates up for all advertisers, under the current arrangement. Someone had a great post about members of congress and their required 'call time', in one of the Obama threads. Things have to change.
Someone also had a post about Obama doing more public events while out here. I agree. I would love to take my grandkids to hear a president speak.

Obama is a scripted person, he cannot simply explain his own thoughts in a straightforward way. Look at the link, above, to see what happens when his script goes missing, this morning. Obama is also a hypocrite, since he criticized GWB's security measures, while campaigning, but amplifies them while governing.

Jim: I saw it live. It was kind of humorous. Would you proceed with statements in front of the whole country without prepared remarks? Off the cuff? While you spent the whole morning on a different subject with different, more important preparation? Yeah, didn't think so.
President Obama is brilliant. It's okay to not like him, his appearance or his politics. When the entire fringe right tries to belittle him as dumb, and goes on and on with the teleprompter quips after we experienced 8 years of Bushisms, I find that not funny, but sad. Sad for you.
Just remember, Reagan used a teleprompter. And as far as intellect, Reagan was no Obama. An actor, yes.

Jim: review of Paul's blog shows how you have an issue that prompts you to have posts edited; I think I see why. I mentioned Obama is brilliant, Reagan was an actor -- you chose not to reply to that but to cite the fringe right meme on RR. That's okay.
Reagan did indeed do something "from the front": he traded weapons to Iran for hostages and lied about it, then shipped the guns to the contra drug runners in Nicaragua. "From the front" Reagan tripled our national debt. "From the front" Reagan raised taxes on middle class, working Americans 11 times. "From the front" Reagan ignored the AIDS crisis and cost the lives of thousands by not responding earlier. "From the front" Reagan ran like a little girl after hundreds of US Marines were slaughtered in Beirut.
"From the front" Reagan and his staff were the most criminal administration in our history, worse even than Nixon! "From the front" Reagan had so many multiple scandals, resulting in the investigation, indictment, or conviction of over 138 administration officials, which is the largest number for any US president.
Yes, Reagan was in office as the USSR collapsed of it's own weight. [Portion removed by Palo Alto Online staff.]
Yes, Reagan was in office as we recovered from the post Nixon/Vietnam recession and the oil embargoes. Surely, if you give Reagan credit for that, then you must give Obama credit for this:

"Reagan was in office as the USSR collapsed of it's own weight"
That is the typical extreme left view of things, in hindsight.
Reagan/Thatcher/Pope John put the pressure on, and made it happen, because they led from the front. Obama leads from behind, while the world suffers.
BTW, I am not complaining about security details for Obama. I just find it amusing that the extreme lefties are so fawning about him!
I suggest that that the Weekly just shut this thread down. It was a puerile attempt by Paul Losch to get a dig at GWB. Makes my wonder why Paul is still a selected commentator by the Weekly...he has not earned the right.

The USSR collapsed during the Bush 41 regime because the ruling Communist Party stuck with an unworkable ideology. The USA would collapse the same way if the Reagan-worshiping Tea Party got its way.
Anyway, Reagan's conservative cred is gone. He raised taxes 11 times and cooperated with liberal Democrats to pass an immigration amnesty.
"Paul Losch reminds me of "all hat, no cattle", as they say in cattle country."
That's what John Kerry said about Bush 43.
a resident of Woodside

Reagan "led from the front" in criminal indictments, scandals, tax hikes on working Americans, tripling the debt, giving weapons to Iran, and more.
""Reagan was in office as the USSR collapsed of it's own weight" is not a left wing view, it is historical fact. Are you saying the USSR economy was booming or thriving in 1980? If so, you're in error. Look it up.
Or we can ask the CIA:
"What Did CIA Say?
The story that the CIA presented over the decade and a half before the political breakup of the Soviet Union can be broken into three analytic phases.
1. The Failing System
2. Enter Gorbachev
3. The Showdown
- The economy yet again was described as having faltered badly since the mid-1970s and resembling that of a developing country, despite the USSR's status as a military superpower.
- The political situation in the Soviet Union was described as "less stable than at any time since Stalin's great purges in the 1930's," and glasnost was depicted as having opened the doors to nationalist movements that "if unchecked, could threaten to tear the system apart."
Even CIA is telling Jim that the USSR collapsed of it's own failing weight.
But let's let jim have his little mancrush on RR and thatch, actual facts, date and history be damned (or see CIA Web Link )

"The USSR collapsed during the Bush 41 regime because the ruling Communist Party stuck with an unworkable ideology"
Nope. It fell because it was pressured by Reagan, ideologically, militarily and economically. Jimmy Carter and his minions (including his CIA) were infamous for predicting that the Soviet Union would not go away. Reagan made it go away.
Few people, 50 years from now, will remember Barack Obama for anything more than being the first black president. However, Reagan will be remembered 200 years from now, as the president who won the cold war.

If the President had come here to make a speech, a public appearance, to meet with high tech leaders, or Stanford people, I would not have minded so much.
He didn't.
He came here to meet privately with a load of his cronies who paid more than many Palo Altans could afford to contribute to raise money in a non election year. He caused many people to change their plans due to road closures and other inconveniences.
I for one am not impressed with this "private" visit to Palo Alto. Absolutely nothing about his politics, but all about his ego and arrogance.
It is definitely worthwhile being able to see a sitting president in one's town - but he was not here to be seen by the common people, just a specially invited few.

You say "First of all, I think that it's great that he comes to see us" - Obama did not come to see us; he came to collect money. The only people he "saw" were people who paid $10,000 or more.
"Melissa Mayer" is not the CEO of Yahoo. It's Marissa. At lease both names start with a "M", and it's not a typical "North Palo Alto" neighborhood; her house is much bigger, and much more expensive.
"They indicate that what we think and do around here is taken seriously in DC" - The only thing they take seriously is either the money or pandering to their special interest groups. Did Obama have a townhall meeting?
You are much too infatuated with being 3 blocks where Obama had a fund raiser.

I admit I got the name of my neighbor and Yahoo's current CEO's name mis-spelled.
Do not discount a visit here from national leaders. Even if it is a fundraiser, the leader gets an earful and it provides access to the leader's team going forward.
Compare that with someone who never came to visit. I know what I prefer.

This visit wasn't about the POTUS's ego at all, but it was all about politics and money. It's now standard for the POTUS to fundraise for his party in the areas that most support his party. It's ain't rocket surgery, folks.
When I was a kid here, I don't recall this many presidential visits, despite the Sili Valley success still existing. But that Sili Valley is now one of the powerhouses in the world is why those visits have increased & is a big reason why many of you - including the whiners - now live here. Buck up - you've chosen this place & this way of life, so you gotta deal w/the responsibilities that come w/your many privileges.

I gotta say in the interests of non-partisanship ... which I mostly am not ... this trend of making insulting jokes or political comments with President's names or the names of the political parties is really a bad one and I wish it would stop, and I wish media would not allow it, and point out the reason. If you have something anyone else with a brain is going to be interested in listening to, please leave out the inane and boring puns and insults to whatever President you are referring to ... please!?

What was it supposedly that Reagan actively did? Spent a lot in the military, and I wonder where all that money went because he sure as hell was unwilling to use it except to pick on little nations like Grenada?
I've seen the case made eloquently that Gorbachev was the one that really pushed and followed through to end the Cold War. At least they could see it was getting them nowhere, while here we have created our own capitalist oligarchy mafia that ruined Russia and doesn't seem to be doing much to preserve our union.
I don't buy that Reagan won the Cold War, and he began this long attack on government. I agree with Bill Maher who said that Reagan was the first TEA-bagger ....
"Ronald Reagan was an anti-government, union-busting, race-baiting, anti-abortion, anti-gay anti-intellectual who cut rich people's taxes in half, had an incurable case of the military-industrial complex and said Medicare was socialism that would destroy our freedom. Sounds to me like he would fit in just fine."
And that while Reagan may have done "a few things" that modern Republicans wouldn't like, said Maher, he basically "wrote the playbook for them on every issue of consequence."

"I don't buy that Reagan won the Cold War"
Then you don't want to consider reality. If Jimmy Carter had won in 1980, the Berlin Wall would still be standing. The Kremlin feared
Reagan, but not Carter. Gorby came to appreciate Reagan, because he understood that RR was the real deal, and he had to deal.

Reagan "Spent a lot in the military" Yup. That spending, along with tax cuts for the ultra wealthy, tripled the national debt, despite 11 tax hikes on working Americans to try to pay for the welfare for the wealthy and defense contractors.
---> Reagan gave welfare to the ultra wealthy and the military industrial complex, while asking the poor and middle class to pay for it with 11 tax hikes on working Americans.
---> Reagan signed the LARGEST TAX INCREASE IN HISTORY on working Americans, when he doubled payroll taxes
"I don't buy that Reagan won the Cold War" Neither does the CIA (see above)
Reagan "Medicare was socialism" - we actually have the record album of Ronny the Actor getting paid by the AMA to say this (yes, kids, old fashioned vinyl!) Web Link

What Are Unemployment Benefits?
From Their Website: Unemployment benefits are part of an employer-paid program that provides temporary, partial income replacement to qualified individuals who are unemployed through no fault of their own. Employers pay unemployment insurance taxes and reimbursements which support unemployment benefit payments. Employees do not pay unemployment taxes and employers cannot deduct unemployment taxes from employees' paychecks. Unemployment benefits are available if you meet eligibility requirements set by the Texas Unemployment Compensation Act (TUCA). If you collect benefits, you are legally responsible for following the rules set by state law. Unemployment benefits must be reported as income to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). For more information, see Income Taxes & Your Unemployment Benefits.

Sandy costs area businesses thousands; toll still climbing
Hurricane Sandy's effects will be felt around the region for some time to come.
The storm has cost area businesses thousands of dollars, and hundreds of animals are in danger of dying.
The power was still out inside Diane's Pet Center in Exeter Twp., Berks Co., Wednesday afternoon. The tropical birds inside the store were literally hanging on by a feather, and hundreds of fish were gasping for air.
With no electricity, time was running out for some of the animals.
"The lizards can't take it this cold and the fish are already starting to die," said Diane Stetler, the owner of the pet store.
Diane's 130 fish tanks were already cloudy. The hamsters were not eating, and Hurricane Sandy has put Diane's livelihood on the line.
"I know people are going through a lot worse than I am, but it still hurts," said Stetler.
The pain was also being felt inside Weis Markets in Spring Township. Sandy knocked out the store's power for nearly 28 hours.
"Unfortunately, we lost most of our dairy department, most of our frozen department and a lot of our deli and meat departments," said Dave Lederach, the district manager for the Lehigh Valley, Reading and Philadelphia market area.
Workers piled the spoiled food into carts Wednesday. They took inventory of what they lost, and they had to throw basically everything refrigerated or frozen away.
"Once the internal temperature goes above 41 degrees for four hours we have to discard it," said Lederach.
Two dumpsters were needed to discard all the food. The district manager said the extent of the power outages from Sandy was the worst in company history.
"We had close to 20 stores that were down at one time," said Lederach.
Sandy was a storm that could have been much worse, but days later, Berks County was still seeing its effects.

Trinidad hires a new permanent city manager
From our partners at AroundTrinidad.com - Almost two years after controversy started with the Trinidad City Manager's Position and nine months after the Trinidad City Council voted to dismiss the city manger, Tuesday the council approved by a 7-0 unanimous vote to hire Tom Acre as the new city manager.
When asked how he felt to be named the permanent city manager Acre replied. "I am glad the process is over! I am looking forward to continuing some of the work, we have already started since I came to Trinidad, and I'm excited to help the city be even better than it is now. We have a great staff, hard working employees and this is great community."
The council had been playing political chess with the position as a struggle for power of the council came to a head during the first round of interviews to fill the permeate position. The city had put in place two interim managers since May of 2012 former City Attorney Jared Beatty and retired First National Bank President Ralph Gagliardi.
Ron Miller a consultant the city hired to help in job search for a new Trinidad City Manger added. "I think the Trinidad City Council did their due diligence in considering the qualifications of the two finalists both of whom were top notch, well qualified professionals," Miller went on to say. "I made some recommendations to the council about qualified persons that might be a good fit, had good work records and would help move Trinidad. I think the city has a great new manager in Mr. Acre, the city can move forward in a positive manner, I am very optimistic about the future of this great community."
Acre had been acting as the Interim City Manager since the council appointed him in Dec. 2012.
Trinidad Mayor Bernadette Baca-Gonzales was pleased with the council's choice. "Ohh my goodness it is so wonderful, we had almost gone a full year without competent effective leadership. Now we have someone with vision to implement plans to bring the city, city employees/staff and the entire community together. Council is looking forward to getting together with Mr. Acre to talk about priorities that need to be identified for the city, from their Mr. Acre can develop a plan of top priorities that the city can address. I am looking forward to good things to bring the community back together and Mr. Acre will help council get our community back on track Mr. Acre has a pose that will help him and he does not respond to negativity or challenges in a defensive matter."
The council before the vote went into executive session for almost an hour and half before coming out with the unanimous vote to hire Acre on a permeate basis.
"We need look into all department and set a priority list for them, I will continue to meet department head and staff. We need to be efficient especially in our Utilities and Public Works areas the budget will be something that we will look into I want us to be even better with our budget moving forward," Acre said after the meeting.
"We need the community to look at the city in positive light, I believe there are two ways we can do this one get business community involved get them excited about the potential for Trinidad hopefully do this through a business summit and two look at getting the staff and council out into the public and listen to their concerns."
Acre will move into his permeate position immediately. Details of his contract still need to be hammered out, council expects the contract to be finalized soon

Start with one or two. Plan on making up a nuc during your main flow. You can decide if you want ot buy a queen or use one of the queens from one of your hives or do a walk-away split.
Concptually all mediums sounds good. It is nice to have only one size frame. you can mix and match as you please then. One limitation is that most other beekeepers use deeps for brood chambers at a minimum. It can be hard to find medium nucs. You can always use deeps for brood chambers only and medium or shallows for supers.
I started out using deeps and mediums as I mentioned above. I'm moving more towards using deeps for brood chamber and supers. I will still use some mediums for supers. If a deep full of honey is too heavy for me to lift I can just pull a few frames out and then lift it. I don't have a lot of hives so a little extra time is not a burden to me.


text: Long story short........I had to do a news paper combine today.......with the close proximity of the two hives and the heat I decided to make the weaker/queenless hive the top so as to not cook the bees I made it a top entrance hive........when I went to check on them tonight I found this.............this hive has always bearded up the side of the box............could they still be trying to do that???? is this somewhat of a normal bearding????

UTSA community celebrates strategic plan, vision
By Kris Rodriguez
Public Affairs Specialist
(Nov. 5, 2007)--UTSA President Ricardo Romo joined state legislators, community leaders and UTSA community members in a symbolic celebration laying the cornerstone for UTSA's new $82 million engineering building on the 1604 Campus.
Joining Romo to mark the beginning of the two-year construction project were State Sen. Jeff Wentworth, State Sen. Leticia Van de Putte and State Sen. Carlos Uresti.
Romo also recognized the ongoing support of the Bexar County legislative delegation including Joaquin Castro, Frank Corte, Joe Farias, David Leibowitz, Trey Martinez-Fischer, Ruth Jones McClendon, Jose Menendez, Robert Puente, Joe Straus and Mike Villarreal.

To commemorate the event, guests signed a large framed piece of limestone that will be placed in one of the exterior walls of the building.
The ceremony featured the unveiling of the university's strategic plan, "A Shared Vision: UTSA 2016." Created in an 18-month process involving faculty, students, staff, alumni, community leaders and others, the plan will provide a strategic framework for UTSA's growth.
"As we work to build a premier research university, this plan presents specific goals and initiatives to guide us as we make important decisions that will shape the future of our institution," said Romo.
A key component in the strategic plan is Engineering Building II, which will help the College of Engineering achieve its 10-year goal of doubling student enrollment from 2,000 to 4,000 students and doubling research funding, currently at $5 million annually. To help fund the facility, the Texas Legislature approved $74 million in tuition revenue bonds and UT System Board of Regents allocated $8.25 million.
The three-story academic facility will house research and teaching laboratories, classrooms, academic support facilities and offices for the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering on the ground level. The first floor will have offices and support facilities for the Department of Biomedical Engineering and the Department of Mechanical Engineering. The Department of Electrical Engineering and the College of Engineering will be housed on the second floor. The College of Sciences Department of Physics and Astronomy will occupy the third floor with office and support facilities.
The 150,000 square-foot facility adjacent to the $84 million Biotechnology, Sciences and Engineering Building was designed by Garza Bomberger and Associates, and will be constructed by Walbridge/Bartlett Cocke. Completion is scheduled for August 2009.
One of the nation's leading producers of Hispanic engineers, the UTSA College of Engineering offers doctoral, master's and ABET-accredited bachelor's degree programs. The college's four departments (biomedical engineering, civil and environmental engineering, electrical and computer engineering, and mechanical engineering) have prepared thousands of graduates for successful careers in the public and private sectors and higher education.
Over the last five years, the college has seen a 90-percent increase in enrollment with more than 2,000 undergraduate and graduate students enrolled in its programs.

New Mobile Apps for Retail Provide Access to Customer Loyalty Insights, Product Availability, Sales Patterns and Other Crucial Functions to Help Retailers Drive Sales and Improve Customer Service
New York - Extending its commitment to innovation in retail with mobile technology, SAP AG (NYSE: SAP) today announced and previewed a new wave of mobile apps to help retailers market to and engage with consumers, enhancing the shopping experience and boosting customer loyalty. SAP® Customer Loyalty, SAP® On-Shelf Availability Manager and SAP® Retail Store Ops Associate mobile apps were announced at the NRF 102nd Annual Convention & EXPO, being held January 13-16 in New York City, where SAP is located in booth 1407.
The mobile explosion has taken the retail world by storm. It has empowered consumers, making them more informed and demanding. As a result, show rooming has become one of the biggest challenges retailers face today. During this past holiday season 80 percent of retailers expected to be impacted by this phenomenon with an average sales loss of five percent. Yet, only 10 percent had a strategy to tackle this challenge.1 These new SAP mobile apps enable retailers to deliver a superior omni-channel experience both directly to consumers' mobile devices and via mobile equipped in-store associates.
"With 70 percent of consumers grabbing for their phone while shopping, it's not surprising that mobile commerce revenue is expected to explode to US$1 trillion by 2017,"2 said Sanjay Poonen, president and head of Mobile Division, SAP. "It's natural that people want to connect with their favorite brands on their mobile devices, whether on the couch or in the store. This presents an opportunity for retailers to meet consumer demand, using mobile technology to deliver superior customer service, drive brand engagement and create unique experiences designed to suit the consumer need in a format they want."
To create customer loyalty and increase share of wallet, SAP plans to release SAP Customer Loyalty which would enable retailers to send unique offers straight to the customers' phones, thereby increasing promotion conversion rates and marketing return on investment (ROI). In addition, retailers may be able to provide real-time access to valuable information such as rewards granted, points available, status levels, and more to spark increased transactions.
SAP Retail Store Ops Associate empowers associates with in-store merchandising, sales and service. It provides store associates with detailed product insights to deliver exceptional customer service. Store associates can access information in back-end systems with an intuitive user interface, and can answer nearly any questions customers might have, especially during critical sales and service discussions. Retailers can improve workforce efficiency and store performance, increase shopper loyalty and customer and employee satisfaction and increase store sales. Available now on iPhone, retailers can:
The mobile app complements the SAP® Retail Store Ops Manager mobile app from a persona perspective.
SAP On-Shelf Availability monitors sales transactions, detects discrepancies in sales patterns that might relate to product availability on shelf and issues warning. Available now on iPad, the mobile app for store associates provides different departments with user-friendly tools to respond to on-shelf availability issues in a timely fashion and correct the issue. The mobile app for store managers provides a monitoring instrument to view and follow the on-shelf availability situation, explore any possible correlation and use it for resource optimization.

Well done, the pics, review and the knife in particular. I may have missed it, but what is the blade height at the heel? It appears to be less than, or right around, 50 mm if my visual acuity is on target. Just curious. Love the profile.

very beautiful knife!

Some approvals have already been issued, and the rink may soon be replaced by a "big box" sporting goods store. While we can't all vote in Berkeley, CA, it would be great for the skating community to show some support for the tireless folk who have been fighting the battle to get this rink back into shape and operating. There's a long history to their efforts - lots of info about the rink & their efforts at www.saveberkeleyiceland.org Please pass this on & show them some support however you can!

She really doesn't need to take her clothes off to court attention and stay relevant. She's a beautiful, intelligent and talented woman who can be sexy without giving away every inch of her privacy. It's such a shame that female celebrities seem to believe and promote the idea that, for women, existing solely as a sexual entity for the pleasure of others (usually powerful men) is the way forward.

This is a great vitamin for those who cannot stomach a green food powder. It has all of the fruit, and veggie complexes and I like the fact that there is no iron added. Be aware that this product does have a mushroom extract, so not recommended for those with mushroom allergies.

I get sick a lot, and when I do, I generally STAY sick for awhile. I started taking this and the Now Foods, Beta-1,3/1,6-D-Glucan, 100 mg Vcaps after reading about both. I started to get a cold just before Christmas. A co-worker had the same exact symps I had at the same exact time. She wound up on 2 diff antibiotics to get rid of the cold. That would normally have been me. I was completely shocked that withing 36 hrs, all the symps were gone, and I never got full-blown sick. Totally amazing!!

Fun Spot America: Official Expansion Plans Revealed
Today we have some great news to share with our readers!
Mr. Tuten, Creative Director of Fun Spot America (that will be the new name of Fun Spot Action Park in Orlando, as it was announced some time ago) kindly shared with us a lot of additional details regarding the major expansion of the park, which will truly become extraordinary. Here you are some of the rides and attractions you can expect to see (Please, keep in mind that these are work-in-progress computer models, and some attractions will possibly be changed):
Let's start by taking a look at a rendering of the whole park, with most of the new attractions planned.
Here's another view of the park from a different angle. Notice the size of the wooden coaster and the water park. Also, the rendering confirms that the famous Fun Spot Ferris Wheel will be relocated on top of a new building, which will function as the main entrance of the park (by the way, general admission will still be free). The park will also have a Double-Decker Chance Carousel:
Now let's talk about coasters. As mentioned at the beginning, the park will have two of them:
The first one will be a Chance-Vekoma Suspended Family Coaster. Here is a video which shows the same model of the coaster that will be built, aside from the theming. Also, here's a rendering of how the ride will look like at Fun Spot America:
The second coaster - which will certainly please many coaster-lovers! - will be a Wood/Steel Hybrid Coaster designed by Great Coasters International, Inc. That's the same great company that is currently building the majestic Wodan at Europa-Park! "This coaster will have a steel structure with a classic wood top and track. It will be the first wood/steel hybrid coaster for Great Coasters International." At this link, you will find a video of a computer animation of the coaster. In addition to that, here's a rendering of the ride:
- All logos and renderings shown here are subject to the copyright of Mr. Tuten (Creative Director at Fun Spot America) and of Fun Spot Attractions. All rights are strictly reserved. -
This expansion will really be a major event here in Central Florida. All Fun Spot Parks already offer a lot of family-friendly attractions, and with this expansion they will surely attract even more families and teenagers.
Thank you for voting, and a big thank you to Mr. Tuten for sharing with us these exciting information!
13 Comment(s):
That will be just a Vekoma Family Invert. King's Island has one named Flying Ace Aerial Chase and its pretty fun but its eventually going to get rough. Very rough.
And they must have made a slight typo as the height given for it seems pretty impossible to make it complete the circuit.
Just a little warning. My neighbor broke his back on the SkyCoasters in Kissimmee. There was a little wind gust when they dropped the rope and they smacked down. You have to sign a waiver so they don´t take any responsibility what so ever. Just to let you know.
No, there are no inversions. This is a very smooth, fun ride. I've been on one with kids as young as 4 years old who loved it and wanted to jump right back on. I would urge you to watch the video and see for yourself.
Patrick Tuten
Thank you for making that confirmation, Mr. Tuten!
Mr. Tuten, I have ridden them and other Vekoma inverted coasters and they are rough. That is the trademark of a Vekoma. Don't believe me? Go ride any Vekoma Suspended Looping Coaster, Boomerang or Flying Ace Aerial Chase - Their popular family invert which is what is being added to your park.
Yes they are smooth in the first couple of years but like I said they are rough and will get rough eventually.
I really am excited about the new wooden coaster... I hope they will keep the WindSeeker... I wonder what the Fun Spot in Kissimmee will add to balance the two out now?
Check out my blog, all about Central Florida and the theme parks! http://www.vaaoffla.com/adventure-blog.html
Hi Austin Ray, You're confusing the Suspended Looping Coaster with the Suspended Family Coaster. I have also ridden the Suspended Looping Coaster and I agree they are much taller, have inversions, and are much more intense than the coaster we are getting. Thanks
Patrick Tuten
This park reminds me of Miracle Strip... Limited space... A out-and-back wood coaster on the edge... Lots of spinny rides.
No I am not confusing them with anything. Vekoma has 2 coaster models that are inverted, Suspended Looping Coaster (SLC) and Suspended Family Coasters. I know exactly what I am talking about. And if you want proof then go ride some one of the 7 suspended family coasters that are operating worldwide.
Rough is a Vekoma trademark. And I'm not the only one who shares that opinion.
Mr. Ray is correct, Vekoma coasters do become rough, sometimes to the point of intolerability ...
Well, maybe your terminology is throwing me off. We think of inversions as when you go through a loop and you're upside down. The SFC has no inversions. I have personally ridden both coasters and while the SLC was very intense, I didn't find it rough and I really enjoyed it. But the SFC that we are getting was extremely smooth. The new type of open restraint was also very comfortable. Maybe we can allow for the possibility that their engineering has improved over the years. Thanks
Patrick Tuten
@ Mr. Tuten: thanks again for making a clarification regarding the coaster coming to Fun Spot America.
@ Austin: I do understand your concerns about it being a Vekoma coaster, but you have to remember that not all of them are rough. Take for example one of the best family coasters on earth: Big Thunder Mountain Railroad. It is a Vekoma coaster, and it is not rough at all (at least, in my humble opinion). I know that the typology may be different, but the same concept applies.
Just wait until it will open. You may be surprised, who knows!
This series of comments seems to have degenerated into an argument as to whether vekoma coasters are rough or not and seems to have detracted from the true purpose of the post. We should be celebrating the fact that Orlando is getting a host of new attractions!
Fun Spot appears to have a refreshing attitude and continues to try to add to its catalogue of family attractions and should be applauded for at least making an effort (while other parks stand still and go stale)
Its down to an individual whether they like these additions but as the administrator said, surely we should wait and see how they turn out before critisising them
I'd also once again like to thank Mr Tuton for his openness in both sharing this information, and taking the time to answer posts - not many attraction owners would do the same!

We at Hacienda del Desierto just returned from a tour that included the experience of cruising beautiful Canyon Lake on the Dolly Steamboat in the Superstition Mountains of Arizona, just northeast of Phoenix. The captain was knowledgeable about the area and pointed out bighorn sheep right next to the lake and eagles up on the cliffs. For 1 1/2 hours he pointed out the wildlife and geology of the lake area. The Dolly steamboat provides protection from the sun or rain but also allows guests to walk outside on the open deck to experience the breezes and a better view of wildlife. We like to point out to our guests what Arizona has to offer not only in Southern Arizona but in other parts of our state. We've lived in Arizona since the early 50's and never taken advantage of this lovely boating experience and will recommend it often.
Located on the historic Apache Trail (Highway 88) not far from Mesa, Scottsdale and Phoenix Arizona. Nature Cruises, Twilight Dinner Cruises and Astronomy Cruises are available year round.

Signed up for my GCIA attempt.
Anyway, I finally signed up for my GCIA (GIAC Certified Intrusion Analys) attempt next Wednesday at 12pm. I have taken the SEC503 in December, re-read the course ware, created a detailed index, read Network Intrusion Detection by Northcutt and Novak and added it to my index. I've primped and pruned my index within an inch of it's life... any last minute recommendations from the peanut gallery?

[quote user="MattMeyerBud"][quote user="Kase-1"][quote user="MattMeyerBud"][quote user="Kase-1"][quote user="MattMeyerBud"]
TV Ratings and total amount of people to the game speaks for itself.
Also the fact that so many teams sell out at home and not on the road just further proves the point how its not a nationally accepted game.
3-1 in a finals series on Ratings. THATS HUUUGE
[/quote]Do you even know what your argument is??? You keep changing it so often its dizzying.
1st it was boring, then it had no fans, then it had no tv contract, then it had no momentum once crosby was gone, then it had no tv ratings, and now it has no road following??
I think you just like arguing AGAINST hockey
No YOU changed it.
I said its a boring sport and the numbers prove it.
You quoted the numbers and made a point that they sell out...
It is still apart of the big 4... but the TV ratings blow.
Go look at 08-09's numbers, significant drop since then.
You then said that they outsell the NBA and quoted a percentage, but the hard numbers tell you thats not true.
Do you know what your arguing anymore because I've just responded to YOUR points?
[/quote]LOL, well now we're just gonna go back and forth arent we...
You said the numbers prove that its 'boring' and I proved you wrong
The numbers HAVENT dropped 'significantly' the NHL has remained consistent with 12 teams that sell out EVERY HOME GAME, and the NBA can BARELY manage a handful, thats what the 'hard numbers' tell me, but you'll twist that somehow, its all good
The points I keep arguing are the ones that you keep changing on me, everytime I make a point you change the argument
the national TV numbers prove that america isn't interested in it- hence its boring
Stop looking at just home games and look at OVERALL NUMBERS. OVERALL NUMBERS show the truth.
I never denied there weren't some hockey towns, this argument is baout the national level of the league. And American doesn't really give a **** about hockey
[/quote]National numbers prove that it isnt marketed correctly, see I can twist things in my point of view as well
If America didnt care about hockey then there wouldnt even be a handful of towns that consistently sold out every one of their teams hockey games

Ment to ask this sooner.
Here a few weeks back before we got cool finally....I took the quilt off and replaced the woodshavings inside. I noticed on one hive the quilt had some mold on it. The other was fine.
I used duck cloth for it.

My fav is my 66 Redeye. It never gives me any problem and also sews a nice stitch. Second is the two-spool for piecing it never runs out of bobbin thread during a sewing session. You can really load those old wooden spools with lots of thread.

Glenn W. Cleveland
I really like my Singer 201, Singer 301 and my Featherweight (1950 Centennial model). I still also really like my Bernina Record 830 purchased new in 1975.
Shelbie from the High County in Southern Ontario
I'm kinda partial to my Singer 401A, BUT I recently inherited a 66-16 that does the most perfect straight stitch I have ever seen.
My favorite, the Singer 301. She never lets me down. If only 301's could zigzag, it would be the perfect machine.
My Pfaff 1473 is my main machine and my Bernina 730E sits right beside it. Viking 6430 goes to classes. Necchi Supernova Ultra is downstairs with the quilting machine. But that's 3 oldies and there are more - -Pfaff 360 and 2 treadles. I sold over 1/2 dozen when I moved in '09 so whats left are my favorites and I would only willingly part with one treadle - the Ruby, have to keep the 1906 66K that needs a cabinet and extra feet.
I would have to say my Singer 99 since it is my only vintage one so far.
When it seems like the world is falling to pieces remember that the pieces are falling into place. We are nearing closer to the End Times.
Tough choices. Hands down, I would keep my 15-91 for FMQ. I would keep my 201 hand crank for times when there is no electricity and her perfect stitch. I would keep one FW for piecing and ease of taking to classes. But I would really miss my 66 treadle... Please, can I keep 4????
There may be times we are powerless to prevent injustice, but there must never be a time when we fail to protest. - Elie Wiesel
I have 2 White Rotary machines. I love the fact that they have knee presses rather than a pedal. They also sew great.
My 201! I love the stitch & it's beautiful. I also just got an old Bernina 730 Record but haven't had time to sew on it yet... Also have a new Pfaff for the decorative stitches and main sewing. Anything heavy goes to the 201!
hSince I have a big collection of vintage machines (and use them), it is hard to pick a favorite but most days you will see me sitting with one of my FW----piecing away.....

Please let me clarify: what I meant was, if agreed with my swap buddie, that I would send a partially started project/UFO for her to finish and I would make whatever she requests. Could be one of her UFO's - - - and it would be a completely finished quilt.
I'm just thinking that many times, when someone else sees a project for the first time, they see it with a 'fresh set of eyes' and different enthusiasm. Also, knowing that they're making it (or finishing it) for their swap buddy and that there is a deadline will make it almost certain that it will be finished. A bonus would be that I would (obviously) gladly send what I've started, so less fabric outlay for my swap buddy. There would also be plenty of communication between swap buddies.
Got it, I could do that since I am on a roll with ufos. If I get your name. No worries here. Yep, definitely less fabric layout for the swap buddy. That fits my budget since Christmas.

New to this group, after making 8 quilts and 22 Christmas runners and 2 table cloths as Christmas gifts I'm ready for a new challenge.
Am Canadian but in USA at least once a month so posting shouldn't be a problem..as for mailing my quilt I have a friend in Buffalo that it can be mailed to as to not have the increased postage.
Now all I need to know is how one sends a PM?
first highlight the text in my first post and select COPY from your Edit menu (or ctrl-C). Then click on my name. You'll be taken to my profile page. An option there is Send Private Message. In the message window/box, PASTE the text, then edit it with your answers. Looking forward to receiving them.
Jillaine - I sent you a PM a few days ago - do you respond to let us know you received it? I haven't heard anything. Just want to make sure I am on your swap list. Thanks.
