The role of the modern insurance CIO
I recently spent several days with 60 or so insurance CIOs at a conference. Some observations from that experience that I think are worth sharing:
Most CIOs are excellent, professional data gatherers. They used both formal meetings and informal conversations to gather intelligence and to share their stories, with the implied understanding that a healthy exchange of ideas could help them do their jobs better.
Some problems that CIOs face are nearly universal, despite differences by company size, culture, and line of business distinctions. On the agenda for 2010 and beyond: attracting and retaining skilled workers, improving the relationships between business and IT, solving today's problems with an eye on tomorrow's technology; and managing complex portfolios of IT projects so that resources used and the business benefits gained are both optimized.
The business of IT doesn't take place in a vacuum. Business concerns, legal and legislative issues, and universal human foibles always intrude. That's why CIOs have to wear so many hats in their day-to-day roles. Depending on the hour, CIOs must think and act like strategy consultants, educators, law enforcement, psychologists, arbitrators, firefighters, and techno-geeks. If that all sounds a bit much, I would point out that's what many CIOs appear to like about their jobs. There's never a dull moment.
In an industry where consensus is often hard to find, most CIOs seem to think that technology is in a relatively good place right now. Industry trends toward SOA, SaaS, alternative sourcing strategies, plummeting costs of storage, and the improved quality of many packaged solutions may finally give CIOs the game-changing tools they need to help their companies thrive.
Celent's upcoming 2010 insurance CIO/CTO survey report will explore these and other topics, and I can't wait to see how the data compare to the anecdotal evidence I gathered at the conference.
Current Hotspots in IT investments from our Q3 Research
We will soon publish our third report is a series that has been tracking insurer responses to the crisis. This report focuses on changes between responses in quarter two and quarter three of 2009. It is based on a Celent survey that examines how insurers are responding to changing market conditions and their expectations about the impact of the crisis.
The global financial crisis continues to have a significant impact on insurers. Since the fall of 2008, insurers across the globe have been keeping a close eye on economic indicators, their investment portfolios, their sales results, and potential regulatory changes. Some insurers have made changes to their business or IT strategies, while others have essentially stood still. But serious questions loom. How long will the economic recovery take?
What is clear from the data is that insurers have broadly made the hard and difficult decisions. Businesses have been sold, staff made redundant and strategies have been changed. IT has made it's own hard decisions with similar changes in staff, heavy re-negotiations with suppliers, and broad changes in project portfolios. With the actions from difficult decisions underway or completed, insurers are also undertaking some aggressive options such as launching new products or new channels.
As the year progresses, insurers are becoming increasingly optimistic about the next quarter, and also the view a year out. They remain bullish about their own company's strategies, including competing effectively and job security.
IT investment projects have been impacted through 2009, but the impact seems to be lessening. Cuts and reprioritisation has been made, and now the focus in back on delivery. Since last year, areas attracting increased investment include claims, infrastructure and data mining. Much of this investment is driven by cost reduction and regulation. Strong interest in data mining is particularly related to the financial crisis, increased regulatory scrutiny as a result, and impending Solvency II. Policy administration system replacement continues, with over half of the respondents having this on their action list. Investment in new business/underwriting has shifted to the low category in the last year.
As the year draws to a close, and new budgets and plans are revised for 2010, it's clear there is much work to be done in IT department. It's time to re-focus and get on with the job.

text: I purchased a 2008 CTS4 not too long ago. It is getting nice outside so I have been cleaning it often. One thing that bugs the hell out of me is all the little dings from highway rocks and pebbles on the hood and side panels. It is Raven Black so it looks like little white specks on the hood. Is there any way to fix this aside from getting the hood repainted? But if you have had yours painted, how much was it? thanks! -DM

Hamlet 2
Dir: Andrew Fleming. US. 2008. 92mins.Britain's Steve Coogan finally finds a US vehicle which effectively showcases his comedic talents in Hamlet 2, a more-hit-than-miss gagfest in which he plays a talentless high school drama teacher called Dana Marszh. Often wildly funny, this puerile romp was a welcome oasis of frivolity in an otherwise lugubrious Sundance film festival where it was sold within hours of its world premiere for $10m to Focus Features.

Athens, Ga. » Utah senior Nina Kim didn't need many descriptive words to describe No. 3 Utah's 197.150-196.725 loss to No. 4 Georgia on Monday, summing up the effort with "losing sucks."
Given that general feeling, the Utes did their best to focus on the many positives rather than the negative outcome of the contest with their biggest rival in front of 8,731 at Stegeman Coliseum.
The Utes (1-1) earned a higher score than they did in their season-opening win against UCLA, didn't have to count a fall and did well enough to be tied with Georgia (3-0) going into the final rotation.
Scoring higher on the balance beam than a home team on its floor is a near-impossible feat, so no one was surprised when Georgia emerged the victor when all was said and done.
Georgia scored a 49.375 on the floor while the Utes earned a 48.95 on the balance beam to close the meet.
Utah's beam rotation started with a fall by Gael Mackie, who received a 9.175. That mistake put the Utes' under more pressure, but Utah coach Greg Marsden was pleased to see everyone who followed responded to the situation well by scoring 9.7 or higher.
The efforts simply weren't good enough to catch Georgia. Marsden also believed Utah's beam scores were a little harsher than they should have been, although he didn't think it was enough to change the outcome.
"I knew what it was going to be like coming in here, and you try to prepare yourself to focus only on what you can control," he said. "Those things are, did we do better this week than last week? Yes. Did we handle a difficult situation? Yes, absolutely. On bars and beam, we dug ourselves a hole right off the bat and we fought all the way through and didn't let the meet get away from us. The positives far outweigh the negatives."
Even so, the Utes were hoping to win at Georgia, a place the Utes haven't won in their last two outings. Instead they had to be happy with the way they fought back after the opening fall on beam and another on the bars where freshman Stephanie McAllister was given the difficult task of leading off the team.
She fell, but everyone else scored 9.85 or higher.
The Utes scored a 49.075 on the vault, then rallied with a 49.3 on floor to put themselves into a tie with the Gym Dogs going into the final rotation.
"We hate losing, we love to win," Kim said. "But we came in here knowing it was going to be hard. We got down on ourselves a little after vault but we talked to each other and we got pissed and did our job."
The Utes at least didn't let things fall apart like they did the last time they were here. In 2007 Utah lost 196.85-195.475 in one of the Utah's worst road losses.
"We stunk up the place then and it took us a long time to crawl back out of that hole," Marsden said. "This was the antithesis of that. We came in here and gave them a run for their money."
Marsden had hoped to give his coaching rival Suzanne Yoculan a loss as a retirement present. With Georgia's fans cheering the victory, he acknowledged he might still have a chance to deliver that gift, at the NCAA Championships in April.
"If this will help us get better April, I'll take it," he said.
In brief » Utah suffers its first loss of the season to the four-time defending champion after going into the final rotation tied.
Key moment » The Utes recovered from a fall on the balance beam but couldn't get the big scores needed.
Key stat » The Utes earned just a 48.95 on the beam after scoring a 49.025 on the event in the opener.
All-Around » Courtney Kupets (Georgia) » 39.6
Vault » Tiffany Tolnay (Georgia) » 9.9
Uneven Bars » Courtney Kupets (Georgia) » 9.975
Balance Beam » Grace Taylor (Georgia) » 9.9
Floor » Nina Kim (Utah), Annie DiLuzio (Utah) and Courtney Kupets (Georgia)» 9.9

Pan-European newspaper publisher Mecom has reported a pre-tax loss of €42m (£33m) in the six months to the end of June, as the beleaguered company admits it is considering a sell-off of all its assets.
Mecom, which last week announced it is to part with chief executive Tom Toumazis after less than a year, said on Wednesday that pre-tax profits before exceptional items fell 41% to €11.2m year on year.
However, the publisher also notched up €53.2m in exceptional charges – including €25m in redundancy costs as 498 staff were cut in the year to 30 June, and €24m in impairment charges – which pushed profits deep into the red.
Mecom, which owns newspapers in Holland, Denmark and Poland, reported advertising revenues down 15% year on year to €203m in the six months to the end of June.
Circulation revenues declined 3%, to €217.6m, leaving total revenues down 8% to €492m.
One bright note for the newspaper publisher is that key subscription revenues to its titles remained flat year on year at €182.8m.
However, there was bleak news at Mecom's flagship Netherlands operation, which accounts for 56% of total revenues and 82% of earnings, which reported declines in advertising and profitability.
The Dutch operation reported ad revenues down 6% year on year to €280m and earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation down 29% to €31.4m.
Mecom said in the Netherlands it launched paid iPad applications at start of second quarter for its major titles.
Since then 110,000 app have been downloaded, adding to the 160,000 downloads of smartphone apps.
Denmark saw advertising fall 8.3% year on year and ebitda rise marginally to €9.1m.
Poland saw ad revenues fall 17.8% to €25m and ebitda up fractionally to €300,000.
Mecom said total costs declined 6% to €454m, and the publisher said it expects to make €10m more in savings above its original target of €70m.
Net debt was €109.7m as from 30 June, down from €301.9m a year ago, thanks to the disposal of Norwegian business Edda Media allowing a €195m payment.
The company said it is to pay an interim dividend of 6c per share to investors.

The workings of the Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet (PM&C) are often the subject of hot debate and can appear mysterious to those unfamiliar with the internal operations of the Australian Public Service.
The secretary of the department,
It was timely, given the extreme political turmoil. It was also the second time in three months he had discussed the department's unique role at the heart of government and his approach to running it.
In an internal speech in July, he cited three reasons for doing so. First, he said new secretaries should, and often did, publicly set down markers on their organisation's role and modus operandi as part of putting their stamp on it and helping to shape its operating environment.
Second, as head of the APS he had a strong interest not only in how his department worked with the rest of the public service but also in how the public service worked with his department to maximise efficiency and effectiveness as a whole.
Third, the department's capability review, conducted this year, had found the PM&C executive had a clear model of collaboration in the way it worked that was different from some past, more competitive models, including when he first joined.
"However, the reviewers felt that we need to be more explicit in communicating our vision for PM&C to both our own officers and the broader APS; and this was particularly the case in regard to how we intend to work with the rest of the APS," he said.
He added later that the review felt the department had lost a little of the "PM&C craft" – the department's traditional way of working across government – which, though it sounded like some kind of secret society, was in reality much more nuts and bolts.
"It is fundamentally about two things: knowing what matters, and working on the things that matter with the right combination of people and skills from across government," he said.
He said on Friday that any change of secretary led to speculation about how the new incumbent saw the organisation's role and how it might change.
A new secretary of PM&C created more speculation than most, which was hardly a surprise.
"Some may reflect on my first 12 months and suggest I am turning PM&C back to its more traditional role as a co-ordinating agency. That is incorrect. I am not changing PM&C's basic role, and it was anyway never just a co-ordinating agency. It has always had a much broader, policy-focused role."
One of his predecessors, Sir Geoffrey Yeend (secretary from 1978 to 1986) had said in the department's first annual report: "The basic functions [of PM&C] do not change; nor does the basic character of the department, and the intense pressure of working in the forefront of government activity continues."
Mr Watt said he would be surprised if Sir Geoffrey, his senior colleagues at the time or then prime minister Malcolm Fraser had seen PM&C as just a co-ordinating agency.
"I would, however, be the first to acknowledge that the role of PM&C has always been greatly influenced by what the prime minister of the day wants and, to a lesser extent, what the secretary wants.
"So while I am charting a course for PM&C that differs to a degree from our previous course, I am navigating – like my predecessors – with the views of the Prime Minister clearly in mind."
That course included a whole-of-government co-ordinating role, but also a major role in policy development and in monitoring implementation.
The change he was introducing was more about how the department went about delivering on the Prime Minister's objectives.
"As I have said before, PM&C does need to set priorities, to be selective in what it is involved in and what it is not involved in; it needs to be involved in a collegiate and collaborative fashion; and it does not need to lead on every major issue that faces government," he said.
"Indeed, we are sometimes at our best when we use our leadership ability and behaviours to help support other departments and agencies in achieving outcomes across government.
"We are at our best when we are considerate and respectful in our dealing across government, and collegiate and collaborative in our daily business.
"As I have previously said, PM&C will support the work of others, will offer a second opinion where it considers it appropriate and, if we do disagree, will disagree firmly but respectfully," he said.
That, he said, was how he saw PM&C working.

Relay/contactor confusion
I am looking for a relay, or a contactor, or whatever it's called...
It needs to be a single pole, double throw design, it needs to switch around 30 amps at 120 volts, and it needs a 120 volt coil.
Such a thing seems illusive in my Google exploits, and I think the trouble may be the combination of double throw and high amperage. Is this thing as "weird" as I'm starting to think?
Relays are relays and contactors are contactcors what is it your wanting to do?? Relays are dpdt or about whatever you want. A contactor will be single pole, double pole, or 3 pole generally with low voltage coils or 120 volts coils or 230 volts coils.
Grainger # 5Z542 will do. SPDT, 30 amp contacts, 120AC coil. Lists for $27.40
Yeah... (I think ) they rate contactors at resistive ampacities with the motor starting load (inductive) somewhat lower. Say a 40 amp contactor resistive will be 30 inductive and they might state hp
This is for my camper. I have an inverter for (in) it, but it's just kinda rigged in there to run the fridge, and it just bugs me. I want something that lets me flip a nice simple switch between shore power and battery/inverter power, no BS. As it sits, if I make a mistake and connect the inverter while shore power is connected, the inverter goes *poof*. I hate *poof*.
I need to do a bit more research, but I think the camper is wired to accept 30 amps; it's more than 20, in any case. I'm new to RV's, but I think it's a standard RV type plug. Based on that, I thought I'd wire my modifications to be safe with whatever it's already wired to accept.
I'm not finding a multi-pole switch that can handle this kind of amperage, so I went looking at relays/contactors.
So after all that, the load on this relay would be mixed, because there is a cute little panel and outlets involved, to which someone could attach a drill, or a toaster, or a hair dryer, or a battery char... oh wait, that's already in there...
I hope I haven't made this worse... :laughing:
I would recommend using a double pole relay, as some inverters have a floating neutral. Here is the link from Grainger. I'd wire it up so that the coil is operated by the "shore power" to minimize power drain on the inverter.
Keep in mind that such a relay is an "open" type and should be mounted within an electrical enclosure.
I have a friend with an RV, and I just installed a simple 60 manual transfer switch on the RV so he could switch from using the generator and when he's at an RV campsite or what not.
Something like this?
The AC transfer switching is only half of the puzzle. The switching circuit also has to cut the 12 volt power to the inverter, and the AC power to the battery charger, when shore power is plugged in.
Even if the A/C is isolated, powering the inverter with DC power from the converter can let the magic smoke out. My first inverter suffered just such a fate.
The main switch and the DC power relay are easy, it's just the AC contactor that was looking like a problem. It looks to me like the contactors posted will work just fine :D
The inverter input might appear to be a capacitive load; if so, you need pretty hefty relay contacts if the relay contacts will be turning this thing on (as opposed to just carrying inverter current and the switching done elsewhere).
You have an inverter schematic you can post?
1 Attachment(s)
The box called "convertor" is a DC power supply or a battery charger?

Using the same strategy that a common virus employs to evade the human immune system, researchers at Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center's Institute for Regenerative Medicine have modified adult stem cells to increase their survival -- with the goal of giving the cells time to exert their natural healing abilities.
"Basically, we've helped the cells be 'invisible' to the body's natural killer cells, T cells and other aspects of the immune system, so they can survive to promote healing," said Graca Almeida-Porada, M.D., Ph.D., senior author and professor of regenerative medicine at Wake Forest Baptist.
The research, reported in the current issue of PLOS ONE, a peer-reviewed, open access journal, involves mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), found in bone marrow, peripheral and cord blood and fetal liver and lung tissue. These cells are known for their ability to migrate to damaged tissues and contribute to healing. However, like all cells, they are susceptible to being killed by the body's complement system, a part of the immune system involved in inflammation and organ rejection.

- The Region Lock: Why?
Your prices are current prices, mine are based off when the game came out.
And again from a contemporary source:
Dick Smith $69.94
EB Games $68.00
JB Hi-Fi $64.00
Games101.com.au $62.95
Toys R Us $59.00
Which makes it cheaper to import back then, and with your link, it's still cheaper to import the US version now than buy second hand.

"Your prices are current prices, mine are based off when the game came out."
And are still completely irrelevant, since you could list ten different prices from ten different stores and come up with ten different results, all tailored to just how you wanted them to be. Buying from a boutique will net you a different result from buying from a discounter or a wholesaler.
But importing will not net you a significant price savings.

Perhaps... But I do know that the exchange rate for 2011 (which is the last reliable date that the WayBack machine can bring up a page for your "proof" link at eBGames) gives the AUD at .73 at the current time that Golden Sun was listed, thus creating a rather massive exchange rate difference.
I will restate, and you have NOT refuted anything in it, either- Except of course that international shipping for these imports, coupled with the already steep language barriers that often accompanies importing, reduces or eliminates any cost savings that someone could take advantage of instead of, say, walking across the street to purchase a game.
Seriously- when have you ever actually heard anyone in real life say "I paid for international shipping to buy this game just so I could pay slightly less for it"? No- the reason why people import is because they aren't available over here. Whether it's because it's a niche title (like some anime games) or just because of sheer company stupidity (the refusal to localize Xenoblade, Last Window, Another Code R or The Last Story), cost savings is, quite frankly, only a rather weak excuse.
Bear in mind that Nintendo's most successful system/handheld (the Game Boy/DS line) had complete and unfettered access to every single game from every single region all the way up until this last generation- and yet it not only remained Nintendo's most successful handheld, but it dominated the industry and quite literally kept them afloat when Nintendo's console systems (which were region locked) were floundering.
The 3DS will be my last Nintendo handheld if they do the same thing for the next...
Im tired with this BS.
GT: CressDX
I wasn't disagreeing with your post, just the initial start. There are people who do import games because they are cheaper in total.
There are always gamers looking to do so. And I have heard someone say something similar to that..well not exactly heard, since I'm the one who said it to a friend. (bought GSDD cheaper and got it before him..so yeah).
But other than that I agree with your post
slightly related, based on prices listed at EB Games AU and GameStop + USPS Parcel Post (if I read the right list), it'd still be ~$15 cheaper to import US Prof. Layton MoM (if the 3DS wasn't locked)

You also seem to be confusing price differential with scaled economics. I was hoping you would pick up on the exchange rate... but I'll be a little blunter...
A loaf of bread costs about a buck in Portland. Average price I've seen in Supermarkets is about .89 give or take sales into account.
In Australia that same loaf will run the average consumer close to $5.
As an example.
Gas here is a little over 2 bucks a gallon, while in AUD you're looking at over $5.
Basically what that means is that despite there being what you (living in Japan) would consider to be a large price differential, when you take the exchange rate into account, economics in Australia and wage factors, quite frankly $15 AUD doesn't amount to much incentive.
TL/DR version- each AUD is worth quite a bit less, commodity wise, than the exchangeable US currency, but the wage differential makes up for it.

well you'll have to wait 4-5 years to find out.
I don't really think there is a point to region locking other than "protecting" the authorized sales of a game. If a game is licensed for the Asian market, then it sells only to that market and is produced only for play on a console from that market. That's how I see it, and that's why I think it's pointless. I guess Nintendo can sell a few extra 3DS's because of the people who want a JP one and NA/EU/AU one, but it really is utterly pointless...

What better way to woo high-fliers than take out a full page ad in today's FT featuring a pile of white powder and the caption "Powerful". So who is suggesting it is the equivalent of a performance-boosting drug? Bloomberg, promoting Business Week magazine.
New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg is keen to buy the FT from Pearson and make his presence felt in London, encroaching on Boris Johnson's turf.
Read the small print and you find the powder is actually guar gum, "a starch used in everything from fracking fluids to ice-cream to catfood".
Not that this will soothe FT staffers.

New jewelry shop open in Roch. downtown
The Silver Spirit, a new jewelry store featuring many hand-made items by owner Lisa O'Hanlon of St. Charles, opened late last week in the former Tableside Manor spot on the mezzanine level of the downtown Rochester Kahler hotel.
This is the shop I teased a while back.
Back in 2003, O'Hanlon briefly had a downtown shop called Ananke Designs in the tiny building at the corner of Sixth Street Southwest and First Avenue Southwest.
The Silver Spirit might seem but spare at the moment, but O'Hanlon is still wrapping up the festival circuit. Expect more displays and more jewelry soon, as well as painting henna designs and doing hair wraps.
I should have more on this soon.

I have a great idea!!June 10th, 2012 at 2:49 pm by Vivian Scott
Suddenly it comes to you; that great idea that solves a tough problem or helps the company move to the next level, or just make everyone's job a little easier. Your thought is innovative, well-presented, and then, yikes!, ripped off.
Idea theft can put you in an awkward position. How do you take back ownership of your intellectual property without looking like a toddler grabbing back her favorite teddy bear from a kid on the playground? I like to start by treating the act much like I would if I suspected my friend's husband was cheating on her. You could do the same. Go to the person you believe has hijacked your idea and start the conversation by saying you're just checking on something. Then outline the events that have caused you to believe the person took credit for your idea. Be open to the possibility that you have misinterpreted what's happened so ask a question like, "From your perspective, how was that idea generated?" followed by, "Do you remember us talking about it in my office?" If he tells a different story, say something like, "Maybe we're remembering it differently" and then share your recollection. The purpose of asking the questions and sharing your perspective is to create the space for the person to talk openly about what happened without getting defensive.
After you've completed the fact-finding phase, clearly state your expectations moving forward. For example, state, "In the future I'd like any ideas we discuss together to be presented together. As far as this instance goes, I'd like you to let (whomever) know that this was my idea. You can do that on your own, we can do it together, or I can do it on my own. Which would you prefer?" If you end up doing it on your own, avoid sounding like a tattletale. Go to your boss and say you'd like his advice on how to handle something. Briefly go over the events and say that how the idea was presented was surprising to you. Ask, "How should I deal with this so that I'm setting good boundaries but not upsetting the group dynamics?"
And, speaking of bosses, what if the idea thief is your boss? Admittedly, that's a little trickier than dealing with a coworker, so start by deciding if it's worth it to you to say something at all. Is this the first time he's taken credit for your plan? Is it a somewhat small idea? Could it have been an oversight on his part? If the answer is yes, make a mental note and see if it happens again. Then, wait a bit to see how thing unfold. Your boss may still have plans that include you so see if she's going to ask you to take the lead, share your idea with the group, or take an active role in determining next steps. Again, make a mental note and watch the path the idea takes.
If your boss misses opportunities to give you credit or fails to acknowledge your contribution in other ways, do a few things differently moving forward. Share any ideas you have with an audience and ask how the idea will be shared with others. Saying something like, "Would you like me to present the idea or provide a few slides for when you share my idea with everyone?" sends the message that you're making note of the fact that this is your idea and you have an expectation that she will include you in the opening credits. You can even try something a little more lighthearted to make your point by saying, "I'm making a note of this so that if the idea gets used, I can add it to the plus side of my review!"
If you've decided that you're okay addressing the issue with your worth boss, a private conversation is the only way to go. Start by letting him know that you're excited the idea was used, that you had hoped your name would have been mentioned, and that you were disappointed when that didn't happen. Then shut up! Give him space to respond and keep the door open to talk about how the two of you will handle similar situations in the future.
Let your boss know about what motivates you (recognition, job security, job growth, responsibility). Let him know that you believe your job is to make him look good while building your own career. Ask if, in the future, there could be a way for him to present ideas that reflect well on both your reputations.
Finally, keep in mind that ideas in the workplace don't necessary belong to us. There's a balance between doing what's right for the company and doing what's right for you as an individual. And, because of that you should never gossip about the situation to others, keep good ideas only to yourself, or become really angry at others you think are treading on your territory. Trying to hurt the organization almost always ends up hurting you and your reputation—and that's not an original idea on my part at all!
5 Things that may surprise you about a co-workerApril 25th, 2011 at 7:19 am by Vivian Scott
Whether it's the guy who interrupts every meeting with his never-ending complaints or the gal who stomps around the office for no apparent reason, it's no fun dealing with a crabby co-worker. In fact even the calmest employee has been known to lose his cool once in a while when having to contend with the antics of a sourpuss in the workplace. The easy assumption is that the Grumpy Gus you're up against is purposefully wreaking havoc just to needle you. That may be true in some instances, but such an explanation is more the exception than the rule. Considering these surprising things about your coworker will help you deal more effectively with his irritability.
1) He's not out to get you. It sure feels like he's campaigning to get you fired, publically embarrass you, or wants to take credit for your hard work, but the truth is you shouldn't take his nit-picking personally. He's not interested in taking anything away from you, per se; he's really just interested in gaining something for himself. Use open-ended questions to figure out what it is he's trying to achieve so you can help him redirect his poor attitude in a way that will help him accomplish his goals.
2) Other people like him. Yes, someone out there loves him. He happily participates in interests and hobbies with family and friends where he's actually kind to other people. Try seeing the whole person instead of the small slice of negativity he shows you on a daily basis. Doing so will make it easier to show him a little compassion, which can make even the iciest amongst us melt. A well-placed greeting or question about his family will have him looking at you as an ally rather than an enemy.
3) He could add value to your career goals. It may be hard to fathom, but it's quite possible that he could actually have an idea or two about how you might take the next step in your career or how you might complete your current project with an ingenious twist that'll get you noticed. Only looking to your buddies for feedback and advice could be a mistake. The office grouch may have a shorter fuse when you propose new ideas simply because he's "been there, done that." You won't know unless you ask, and you just might learn a thing or two in the process.
4) He has bad days, too. Assuming that he never gets up on the wrong side of the bed, doesn't know what it's like to have a bad hair day, or never becomes frustrated with a weight loss program puts your cranky co-worker into a superhuman category. No one is super human, so cut him a little slack. Perhaps there are bigger issues like healthcare, family problems and financial worries that have him seeing the problems at work as minor. His poor behavior may be temporary, so it's okay to treat it as such.
5) He may be surprised at how his actions impact you. Taking a few minutes to have a well-intentioned conversation with Mr. Crabapple could change everything. Privately asking if you've done something to offend him is a great way to open a discussion about his tone, body language, or approach. He could believe that he's coming across as someone who takes his job seriously when, in fact, you're interpreting his lack of a smile as a personal slight. He'll appreciate a gentle and sincere approach to what otherwise could be a contentious and defensive debate.

I have a question for anyone willing to listen.
I know zero about theming & am asking for someone to take the mantle of a theme that is going to be abandoned by the author (via twitter he stated he would not be updating the them to iOS5). The theme is iSquare 2. I have the files from the author & if I get his permission, would anyone be willing to update this theme? It is an extremely simple theme, but if no one wants to take on the responsibility (& I realize doing so would be a tremendous responsibility) I understand completely!
I'd also like to ask if anyone knows of any other simple themes that are iOS 5 compatible. Something similar to iSquare 2 would be great. All it does is skin the icons with an app mask & then has quite a few different icons for cydia apps in the same fashion.
Thanks again everyone for just being an awesome community.

Internal fraud costs 3 times more than the initial loss, says Cifas
Cifas – the UK's Fraud Prevention Service today releases The True Cost of Insider Fraud. This report is based on research conducted by the University of Portsmouth's Centre for Counter Fraud Studies. It examined several real life examples of internal frauds from the public and private sectors, the difference between the initial amounts lost to a fraudster and the eventual, total cost of the fraud. The findings give organisations much food for thought:
- Losses from internal frauds do not just include the sum lost to a fraudster, but encompass a variety of additional costs such as investigations, disciplinary costs, fines/compensation payouts and 'intangibles' such as the net impact upon morale, reputation or share price.
- The smaller the cost of the initial fraud, the greater the increase in the total cost: for example, frauds below £25,000 can incur additional costs nearly three times the size of the initial loss.
- Public and private sectors differ in the size of losses accrued, particularly with lower level frauds (e.g. under £25,000).
- The average cost of all frauds examined was 14% greater than the initial sum lost to the fraudster.
These findings are explained in detail in the report. Click here to download a copy of The True Cost of Insider Fraud.
Understanding the impacts of internal fraud
The vast majority of an organisation's staff are completely trustworthy. Unfortunately, the few exceptions can cause immense damage to an organisation's financial and reputational wellbeing. By being able to demonstrate just how much greater the average cost of such frauds is to an organisation, this research underlines the need for organisations to appreciate both the scale of the damage done by internal fraud, and the need for adequate vetting.
Simon Dukes, Cifas Chief Executive, comments: "It is easy for employers to be lulled into thinking that internal frauds are few and far between and also small scale. The findings contained within this report demonstrate, however, that every instance of internal fraud will have repercussions far greater than the initial financial loss. In addition, over recent years, the theft of customer data from inside an organisation has become more common: this data is frequently passed to organised criminals and helps to fuel identity crimes as they impersonate victims and steal from customer accounts. Organisations must therefore recognise that such frauds are anything but small scale and inexpensive and that doing everything possible to prevent internal fraud is vital."
Prevention is better than cure
The findings presented in this report underline that investment in preventative measures such as enhanced vetting, monitoring, training and data sharing are essential in order to avoid the collateral damage that invariably accompanies the financial loss incurred by an internal fraud. Comprehensive HR and fraud prevention strategies are the cornerstones for any organisation wishing to instil a zero-tolerance attitude to fraud.
Simon Dukes concludes: "The cost of fraud is much more far-reaching than a fraud loss figure on the bottom line caused by one rogue individual. This report demonstrates just how much greater those impacts can be. With total costs nearly quadrupling the initial amount lost on smaller frauds (and the cost of investing in preventative steps like our Staff Fraud Database being as little as £10.50 a day) this is a warning to all organisations that they risk making themselves a sitting target if they do not recognise that prevention is far less costly than cure, and invest in a comprehensive and coherent strategy to prevent internal fraud."
Notes to Editors:
- Cifas is the UK's Fraud Prevention Service – providing the UK's most comprehensive databases of confirmed fraud data, as well as an extensive range of fraud prevention services, to 300 organisations from the public and private sectors. Organisations share fraud information in order to prevent fraud and come from a variety of sectors including banking, grant giving, credit card, asset finance, retail credit, mail order and online retailer, insurance, saving, telecommunication, factoring, share dealing, vetting agencies, contact centres and insurance brokering sectors. Cifas is unique and was the first data sharing scheme of its type in the world. Other schemes modelled on Cifas have been set up in Southern Africa and Germany.
- Cifas launched its Staff Fraud Database in 2006, which currently has 100 Members encompassing over 230 organisations sharing information on frauds that have been perpetrated against participating organisations. These organisations are drawn from the UK financial services industry, telecommunications, insurance, recruitment and other business sectors. The launch of the Database was carried out in consultation with: the Information Commissioner's Office, the Financial Services Authority (now Financial Conduct Authority); the Confederation of British Industry; the Trades Union Congress and Chartered Institute for Personnel and Development.
- The true cost of internal fraud, expressed as a percentage increase on the initial loss (minus recoveries) can be seen below. These findings are presented in Section 3 of The True Cost of Insider Fraud.

There is a ton of info but it never really answers the question of if it is possible to add the xm band to my car. Is the attenna already behind the radio and can I just buy the tuner or whatever they use to make this happen or is a completely different nav unit required. I'm hoping to make it look and act as though it is a factory installed unit. I just can't seem to bring myself to add on the aftermarket units and frankly wouldn't have a clue where to install it without ruining the looks of my interior.

Medical Marijuana Versus Reefer Madness
Allentown High School in Upper Freehold Twp was packed last night. For hours they sat and argued whether the rural township will become the first in the state that will allow a medical marijuana facility that will serve central N.J. This is one of the ultimate NIMBY issues ("not in my backyard," for those unfamiliar). One woman stood up saying, "The quality of life in our community is going to be so severely compromised that we won't be able to recognize Upper Freehold any longer." Another person, "This will compromise the safety of our children and families."
I hope the children in his family never have to discover later in life that they have multiple sclerosis, or Crohn's disease, or anything that comes with such terrible pain that medical marijuana could alleviate. What's ironic about this NIMBY thing is the way folks kid themselves. Do they think New Jersey isn't already awash in illegal marijuana? Do they really think it's not already in every town? Do they truly want to fight this, and force good people who are simply trying to ease their family members suffering into becoming criminals by acquiring it on the streets? It's already IN your backyard New Jersey. Get over it. Sick people who need it shouldn't become criminals just because YOU'RE not accepting reality.

Just went on Dell's Support site to check for new driver updates.
I used the "Analyse System for Updates" button as I usually do (last used ok about a week ago)...which initializes the "Dell System Detect" software. However, on this occasion it downloaded a new version of the software. It installed fine but now I get this:-
Hi unununium,
Sorry for the inconvenience. There is some maintenance going on in this feature currently. Please provide me the system model and the hardware driver you are looking for so that I can provide you an update for your system.
#IWork4DellOrder StatusDrivers and Manuals
probably need to flash bios and re-install windows if you want to keep computer and seller lost admin info. I would replace the HD as well you never know if this guy was into something illegal.
I'm having a similar problem.
I go into 'My Dell' icon/Drivers and Downloads/Analyse System for Updates/ and after a few minutes I get back a message saying 'We're sorry, we are unable to analyze your system'.
Is there a solution to this problem?
I also tried 'My Dell' icon/Drivers and Downloads/Additional Product Support/System Configuration/Current Configuration/Analyse System/ and I got back the message 'We're sorry, we encountered a problem and were unable to complete the system configuration detection.'
I have a DELL Inspiron 7720.
When will the maintenance be finished?
Thank you.
I have also been experiencing a similar problem (among others) with Dell System Detect. Long story short, my wireless has been inexplicably disconnecting and freezing on me, requiring a restart to correct. I assumed this was a driver issue. When I attempted to update Dell System Detect from the Support site, ever since I downloaded the new version it has failed to run properly (Inspiron 3521 running Windows 8 64-bit). I am almost certain it is a problem with the latest update of Dell System Detect functioning only in 32-bit.
Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated.
Idem pour moi, même problème.
Oupsss ça fonctionne en passant par "my dell" obtenir des pilotes et des téléchargements.
Install Dell System Detect before you analize the system.... download here:
Have you tried this?
What does it do?
Are you a Dell employee?
Im not a dell employee....this allows you to use Dell PC Diagnostics scans....I did a full scan takes about 1 hour and gives you a full report on the condition of your hardware. Thanks
This link takes me to a file with an illegal file extension. I.E. "dellsystemdetect.application" It will not run due to the improper extension. Why"
Never mind--stupid Dell assumed everyone would have .Net installed.
Working old Latitude D610 with weird windows update problems so tried running Dell Diags which require the DSD app to be running. I think this old machine is heading for the heap. XP is flaky and the SVCHost for the update process grabs 99% and sits there forever unless you kill it. UGH!
Yeah, please help for the downloading of the DSD. Somewhat I could not download from Dell website. Thank you!

50 Superb Examples of Tilt-Shift Photography
- Published by
- Posted on
- 2 Comments
Tilt-Shift Photography can be done using two methods ,one by using tilt-shift lens and other by using Photoshop masking and then applying lens blur to the image. Either its faked using Photoshop or taken using a tilt-shift lens getting a realistic miniature model scene is the whole point of it.
So what is "Tilt-shift" ? "Tilt-shift" actually encompasses two different types of movements: rotation of the lens plane relative to the image plane, called tilt, and movement of the lens parallel to the image plane, called shift. Tilt is used to control the orientation of the plane of focus (PoF), and hence the part of an image that appears sharp; it makes use of the Scheimpflug principle. Shift is used to change the line of sight while avoiding the convergence of parallel lines, as when photographing tall buildings."Tilt-shift photography" refers to the use of camera movements on small- and medium-format cameras, and sometimes specifically refers to the use of tilt for selective focus, often for simulating a miniature scene.
If randomizing toys or objects to get a miniature scale model is not working for you and as easy as it looks ,miniature faking is the thing for you. Miniature faking is the process in which a real life photograph of a location or object is made to look like a miniature scale model.Miniature faking can be done the same way by either lens or using Photoshop.
Photos taken from a high angle can simulate the Diorama effect of looking down on a miniature world rather than closeup photography.Basic Miniature faking with Photoshop is easy.Add Saturation to the photo and Choose the area to focus , after that blur the rest of the image. Here we have collected 50 Superb Examples of Tilt-Shift Photography for your inspiration. Stay tuned for tips and tutorials on Tilt-Shift Photography.

Too Beaucoup
Sharon Eyal and Gaï Behar, Choreography
Ori Lichtik, Music
Ori Lichtik, Sharon Eyal, and Gaï Behar, Soundtrack Design
Sharon Eyal and Gaï Behar, Costume Design
Avi Yona Bueno (Bambi), Lighting Design
Too Beaucoup is a full-company work created for Hubbard Street Dance Chicago by Sharon Eyal and her co-creator Gaï Behar. This world premiere is the choreographic sequel to Bill, a piece created by Eyal and Behar for Batsheva Dance Company in 2010, inspired partly by the video artist Bill Viola. Bill is about things people experience very strongly, which change without notice - like a view passing by. Too Beaucoup, meaning "too too much" in French, aims to manipulate and replicate precise and robotic movement that offers a sense of watching a 3-D video. Because of this, music, costumes and lighting become just as important as the movement. The creative process proved eye-opening for Hubbard Street dancers. "If I had to choose what I learned most during the process, it would have to be how different we all are as individuals and how simple it can be to share one mind between us," explained Hubbard Street dancer Christian Broomhall. "In the beginning stages of the process with Sharon, all of the dancers had their own interpretation of what the movement and musicality of the movement was supposed to be. And now we are all operating as one organism, most of the time, without having to bring out the bleach and toothbrush. When a community decides to exist as one and be in-tune with each other, all of our differences go unnoticed."
Created for and premiered by Hubbard Street Dance Chicago at the Harris Theater for Music and Dance, March 17, 2011. Technical support provided by the Irvine Barclay Theatre, Irvine, CA. Music by Gang of Four: "At Home He's a Tourist," from the album Entertainment! for Warner Music Group. Music by Vicious Pink: "8:15 to Nowhere," for PIAS. Music by Depeche Mode: "See You", "The Meaning of Love," from the album A Broken Frame for Warner Music Group. Music by COH: "Quadrate Fur Max-Ernst," from the album CoH – 0397 Post-Pop for MEGO Records. Music by Leonard Cohen: "Hey That's No Way to Say Goodbye" as recorded by The I.V. League. Music by Cole Porter: "It's De-Lovely," from the album Ted Sommer: Pleasant Percussion: The Music of Cole Porter for Universal Music Group. Music by Vice: "Temptations" for the album Trojan Horse for Tresor Records. Music by Bobby Timmons: "Moanin'" for the album Moanin as recorded by Art Blakey & The Jazz Messengers for EMI Music. Music by Oren Barzilay: "God's Creation," from the album Sorrow Demons Joy Blizzards for High Fidelity Records.
The Sara Lee Foundation is the Lead Corporate Sponsor of Choreographic Diversity which supported the creation of Too Beaucoup, the new work by Sharon Eyal. Too Beaucoup was created as part of Hubbard Street's 2011 Celebrating the Art of Israel project, which is supported by Meg and Tim Callahan and Jane and Michael Strauss, Lead Individual Sponsors, Lisa and Randy White, Individual Sponsors and Choreographer's Circle members, Richard Rodes and Sandy Fisher, whose gift is in honor of Byron and Judy Pollock. Special support provided by the Consulate General of Israel to the Midwest.
Sharon Eyal was born in Jerusalem in 1971. She joined Batsheva Dance Company in 1990. During her time there, she developed her talents as a choreographer, becoming so adept that she was named associate artistic director in 2003 and 2004. In 2005, Sharon was invited to serve as Batsheva's Resident Choreographer, a position she still holds today. Eyal is such a productive choreographer that within an extremely short time she developed into an influential figure on the Israeli scene and has rapidly been gaining international recognition. Among her creations for the Batsheva Dance Company and the Batsheva Ensemble: You Got to Live, Pan (2001), Ink (2002), Static (2002), After Love (2003), Love (2003), Quiet Village (2004), Part II (2005), Bertolina (2006) and Makarova Kabisa (2008). In the last few years, Eyal's reputation has been generated interest from choreographers and dance companies outside of Batsheva Dance Company. Solo dancer Talia Paz has been performing excerpts from Eyal's love and One Leg Barbie, a new solo created by Eyal, in performances around the world. In 2009, Eyal created Killer Pig, a new work for Norway-based dance company Carte Blanche. The world premiere of Too Beaucoup by Hubbard Street Dance Chicago will be Eyal's first work created for and presented by an American dance company.
Quotes/Reviews from the spring 2011 Chicago Premiere:
"Eyal has her own gripping sense of the obsessive, near-disembodied drive of modern life and a similar flair for deploying a group. And through the use of vivid patterns, a propulsive drive and zombielike, "undead" movement, she has the dancers evoking the strange sensuality of compulsive automatons (think of a Pac-Manlike, moonwalking mob line-dancing at a techno club)." – Chicago Sun-Times

67 WALL STREET, New York - August 29, 2012 - The Wall Street Transcript has just published its Medical Research, Diagnostic Substances and Life Science Tools Report offering a timely review of the sector to serious investors and industry executives. This special feature contains expert industry commentary through in-depth interviews with public company CEOs, Equity Analysts and Money Managers. The full issue is available by calling (212) 952-7433 or via The Wall Street Transcript Online.
Topics covered: Health Care Consolidation Activity - Cost Reduction and Improving Efficiencies - Chinese CRO Growth - NIH Budget Uncertainty
Companies include: NanoViricides (NNVC) and many others.
In the following excerpt from the Medical Research, Diagnostic Substances and Life Science Tools Report, the CEO of NanoViricides discusses the outlook for his company for investors:
TWST: Would you provide us with a brief summary of where the company is right now?
Dr. Seymour: As you know, we have developed a platform technology to rapidly create drugs to destroy viruses in and around the body. We have nine drugs in our pipeline, tested in a total of 4,000 animals, and the first one that's going to humans is our drug for the flu. It's important to note that we're independent of the host since we only work in the circulation, not within cells.
In addition, we've just announced that an oral preparation of FluCide, our influenza drugs, which has been found to be effective.
We're awaiting more data from the laboratory that did the research work but this suggests to me that not only do we have the possibility of a cure for all forms of influenza A, but we have a drug that can be taken orally and function as a prophylaxis against the flu. We are starting toxicity studies shortly, and our plan is to be in humans in Australia next year.
We are working on building a facility that can manufacture the drug under certain specific conditions, called GLP, good laboratory practices, so we can use that material for our human trials. The plan is to do 25 patients for safety as Phase I, and then, a Phase IIa, that would be a viral challenge study. In that, 25 healthy volunteers are infected with the virus, then isolated and treated. We'd then move to IIb, which expands the number of patients treated - hospitalized patients. And then eventually, Phase III is a larger-scale study. Those are our immediate plans. We have enough capital to run the company for approximately two years, so we are well positioned financially.
TWST: And NanoViricides met with the FDA in late March?
Dr. Seymour: That's correct. They gave us guidance on what they wanted, and that was about what we expected. Since we are claiming that FluCide works against all forms of influenza A, they want us to test it against all the different viruses in the universe. There are 16. We've already done H1N1, swine flu; we've done H5N1, bird flu; and we've done seasonal flu. We're in the process now of sourcing the viruses to round out the spectrum to test the effectiveness of the drug.
TWST: You've said the company will be able to produce drugs for the human clinical trials when the renovation of a manufacturing facility is concluded. Where does that stand?
Dr. Seymour: Right now, we're in the final design phase. It goes to the city of Shelton, Conn., planning and zoning, and at the same time, it goes out to bid. As soon as we have approval to start and we have satisfactory bids, we'll start the building process, which is really a renovation of the existing 18,000-square-foot building that we have.
TWST: Any sense of what the whole timeline looks like as far as getting approval? It is typically a three-year process, right?

Alan Duncan, the Conservative shadow leader of the Commons, has landed himself in hot water again over MPs' pay and expenses.
His claim for thousands of pounds of work on his garden was lampooned by Heydon Prowse in a video that became a YouTube hit earlier this year. Now, Heydon has been back in touch with the MP, who, until he resigned from its board in April, was paid £35,000 a year to work 20 days by Arawak Energy, on top of his parliamentary salary. Drinking with on the House of Commons terrace, he was recorded bemoaning his lot: "Basically, it's being nationalised, you have to live on rations and are treated like s**t."
He has since apologised, but the video is likely to haunt him as he grapples with his brief in the shadow cabinet, which involves being the party spokesman on issues relating to parliament.
The point Duncan was trying to make, of course, is that the vilification of MPs, and the discrepancy between salaries for high-flyers in the City and Parliament, are likely to put people off entering politics. Does he have a point?

25 Signs You Are a Military Spouse
photo credit to Getty Images
The Huffington Post just created a list of "25 Telltale Signs You're a Military Wife" and we just had to share it with you! Here are a few of our favorites from the list...
1. You don't think long distance relationships are a deal breaker -- and you have the love letters to prove it.
2. You are incredibly close friends with someone you never would have crossed paths with without the military.
3. You have spent at least two of the following without your significant other: a) birthday b) Christmas/New Year's c) anniversary d) birth of your child
6. You keep a stash of various home items that don't go in the current house, because you know they might go in the next one. After all, when you move every 2-3 years, this is your motto: MAKE IT WORK!
7. You know what a "daddy doll" is and you choke up when you see a child hugging one.
8. You are guilty of using one of the following in conversation or a text message: a) tracking b) roger c) wilco
10. You understand the kind of self-sacrificing, we-can-overcome-anything romance that most people think only exists in movies or nineteenth-century novels.
11. You still find random moving stickers on things from three or four houses ago. Don't worry; no one else saw...
12. You may be the first to offer criticisms of the military, but you have a reeeeeally hard time biting your tongue when civilians do it.
14. You keep the original boxes for appliances and fragile items in the hopes that it makes your next move easier. (It never really does.)
15. Your young children think anyone in uniform is daddy or mommy.
23. While they're very supportive, your non-military friends and family never quite understand what's going on in your life.
25. And while some days, it makes you want to scream, resiliency has become your middle name. After all, even with all the challenges, sacrifices and setbacks, deep down, you're proud to serve too and you wouldn't have it any other way.

Licensing and authorisations
The HFEA has responsibility for licensing all clinics and establishments in the UK who carry out IVF and human embryo research. We can issue a number of different licences, depending on which activities you want to carry out. For example, if you are a clinic that wants to carry out IVF or associated treatments will need to obtain a 'Treatment and storage' licence. If you want to extend or change the range of activities you carry out, you would need to apply to vary your licence.
The main types of licences are:
- Storage
- Treatment – for clinics offering IUI and other basic fertility treatments which do not involve the creation of embryos
- Treatment and storage – for clinics offering IVF, ICSI and gamete and embryo storage
- Treatment (including embryo testing) and storage – for clinics offering IVF, ICSI, gamete and embryo storage and embryo testing
- Research – for laboratories carrying out research on human embryos
Authorised processes and conditions
You will also need to ensure that, the particular technical processes you use to carry out each licensable activity (e.g semen preparation; IVF/ICSI; egg freezing) has been authorised by the HFEA. If you want to add a novel process to this list (e.g. a new way of storing embryos), you would need to submit an application to the HFEA to add this novel process to the authorised list.
If you have an embryo testing programme, you will also need to ensure that any medical conditions you wish to test for have been authorised by the HFEA. If you want to test for a condition that is not on the list, you would need to submit an application to the HFEA.
What you need to know - guidance and legislation

TMS putting energy into AberdeenFriday 5th August 2011
TMS is playing a vital role in putting 21 East Anglian energy businesses on the high road to Scotland to make a major impact at the Offshore Europe exhibition in September.
Our exhibitions' chief Jimmy Hartwell is project manager for a joint stand to promote what the East of England can offer the energy sector.
The expedition is backed by a partnership of EEEGR (the East of England Energy Group), Great Yarmouth Borough Council and Waveney District Council.
The stand features individual graphic panels and display trays for each company and incorporates generic backdrops, private meeting rooms, a hospitality area, kitchen, reception desk and storage.
Jimmy is also coordinating logistics on behalf of EEEGR, including the transport of literature and other promotional material – and even a consignment of bottles of beer.
"All the exhibitors have to do is turn up; everything will be waiting for them," he said. "Afterwards they box up everything again and we'll bring it back home for them," he said.
The TMS Design team led by art director Nick Marshall prepared all the generic backdrops for the stand as well as creating graphic panels for nine of the exhibiting companies.
Taking part are: Red7Marine. Seajacks UK, EastPort, CLS Offshore, E-Tech Group, Structure Flex, Associated British Ports, Oilennium, Coil PNS, R People, GEV Offshore, ASCO, Dabbrook, Applied Acoustic Engineering, CHPV, Pegasus, Howes Percival, Norwich Airport, M Gaze, Seatrax and Survival Systems International.
