Starting with this article, I'll show how to get the most out of the compression features built into IIS 7 and IIS 6. This first article focuses specifically on IIS 7.
Using compression is the single most effective way to reduce page load times. The .aspx files sent by the server to the browser consist of HTML. HTML is highly compressible by algorithms such as gzip. Because of this, modern web servers including IIS 5 and later have the ability to compress outgoing files, and modern browsers have the ability to decompress incoming files.
You can find out at the following sites whether your pages already use compression, and if so, how much bandwidth you're saving:
Both IIS 6 and IIS 7 offer advanced compression related options that help you get better performance improvements for your web site and make better use of your servers and bandwidth. Unfortunately, these options are not always easy to access. This article series shows step by step how to unlock these options.
In this first article in the series, we'll focus on configuring compression in IIS 7. If you are used to IIS 6, you'll find that IIS 7 offers many new features, including the ability to cache not only compressed static files, but also compressed dynamic files. If you still use IIS 6, the next article in the series will show how to configure compression in IIS 6.
Enabling compression in IIS 7 essentially consists of these steps:
Lets go through these steps one by one.
If you want to use compression for dynamic files, first install the dynamic content compression module. The steps to do this are different depending on whether you use Vista/Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008.
On Windows Server 2008:
Click Start | Administrative Tools | Server Manager.
On the left-hand side, expand Roles and then click on Web Server (IIS).
Scroll down to the Role Services section and then click on Add Role Services. The Add Role Services wizard opens:
On the Select Role Services page, scroll down to the Performance section and select Dynamic Content Compression. Click on Next.
Read the message and click Install.
Once the installation is done, close the wizard.
On Vista or Windows 7:
Now enable compression in the IIS manager:
Open IIS manager. Click on Start | Control Panel. Type admin in the search box. Click on Administrative Tools. Double-click on Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager.
Click on your machine. Then double-click on the Compression icon on the right-hand side.
The compression window opens. Here you can enable compression for dynamic content and static content. The window shows the following items:
On the right-hand side of the window, click on Apply. Compression is now enabled.
In addition to enabling or disabling compression for all sites on the server, you can enable or disable compression at a site level, or even a folder or file level.
To make this work:
You can tweak the tradeoff between compression and CPU usage by setting the compression level. The higher the compression level, the greater the compression and CPU usage.
The compression level can be set separately for static and dynamic files. For static files, use 9, the highest level. For dynamic files, compression level 4 seems to be the sweet spot, as shown in this study.
However, the optimal compression level for your website may be different, depending on how much spare CPU capacity you have, the compressibility of your pages, and your bandwidth costs. Experiment with different levels to see which one works best for you.
To set the compression level:
1. Execute this from the command prompt:
(This sets compression level 9 for static files and compression level 4 for dynamic files).
2. Reset the IIS server to make the new compression level take effect. In IIS Manager, click on the server at the top of the tree and then click on Restart on the right-hand side.
To make sure that compression doesn't overload the CPU, IIS 7 calculates average CPU usage every 30 seconds. It automatically switches off compression when CPU usage exceeds a given limit. Then when CPU usage drops below a second limit, it switches on compression again.
The default values for these limits are:
Switch compression off at(CPU usage)
Switch back on at(CPU usage)
Dynamic files
90 percent
50 percent
Static files
100 percent
Note that this means that if CPU usage on your server is consistently over 50 percent, and when it spikes over 90 percent, compression for dynamic files will be switched off, but will never be switched back on again.
You can change these limits by modifying the applicationHost.config file, which is normally in folder C:\Windows\System32\inetsrv\config:
Note that you provide a number to the attribute, not a percentage, so don't write a percentage sign when setting the attribute. The value 70 shown here is simply an example, not a recommendation. You need to determine the optimal value for your own site.
In case you want to change any of the other limits, here are the matching attributes:
Switch compression off at (CPU usage)
Switch back on at (CPU usage)
If you want to stop IIS from ever switching off compression based on CPU usage, set all these attributes to 100.
You will find all the elements and attributes that can be used with httpCompression here.
As you saw earlier, IIS 7 caches the compressed versions of static files. So, if a request arrives for a static file whose compressed version is already in the cache, it doesn't need to be compressed again.
But what if there is no compressed version in the cache? Will IIS 7 then compress the file right away and put it in the cache? The answer is yes, but only if the file is being requested frequently. By not compressing files that are only requested infrequently, IIS 7 saves CPU usage and cache space.
By default, a file is considered to be requested frequently if it is requested two or more times per 10 seconds. This is determined by two attributes in the serverRuntime Element in web.config:
serverRuntime attribute
Number of times a URL must be requested within the time span specified in the frequentHitTimePeriod attribute to be considered frequently hit. Must be between 1 and 2147483647. Default is 2 .
Time interval in which a URL must be requested the number of times specified in the frequentHitThreshold attribute before it is considered to be frequently hit. Default is 10 seconds.
This means that when a static file is requested for the very first time, it won't be compressed.
For example, to specify that static files need to be hit seven times per 15 seconds before they will be compressed, use:
You've seen that IIS 7 caches only the compressed version of static files, and that dynamic files are compressed for each request (provided that dynamic file compression is enabled). This means that compressing dynamic files takes much more CPU than static files.
That makes sense if the dynamic files are different for each visitor, for example if each page contains personal information. However, if the dynamic pages are fairly static and the same for all visitors, it makes sense to cache their compressed versions too.
You may already use the ASP.NET OutputCache directive to cache your .aspx pages. The issue is that by default, IIS stores the uncompressed version of the file in the output cache, rather than the compressed version. For each request, IIS then has to compress the contents of the cache before sending it to the browser. This is not very efficient.
Here is how to get IIS to cache the compressed version of the file, rather than the uncompressed version. That way, it doesn't have to compress the file for each request, reducing CPU usage.
Because this uses ASP.NET output caching, you need to use the OutputCache directive in your pages, as shown:
This caches the page for 300 seconds.
Now to get IIS to cache the compressed version rather than the uncompressed version, modify the applicationHost.config file. You'll normally find this file in folder C:\Windows\System32\inetsrv\config:
Now that we're caching compressed content, what happens if someone visits your site with a browser that doesn't accept compressed content?
To simulate this eventuality, let's send a request to the server that doesn't have the Accept-Encoding request header. This should force the server to send uncompressed content. I'll discuss the request and response headers involved in compression in part 4 of this series.
To do this, we'll use Fiddler, a free proxy which allows you to "fiddle" with requests and responses while they are travelling between browser and server. It's easiest to do this with Firefox:
You can measure the actual size of your compressed pages as they will travel over the Internet to the browser, using the Web Developer add on for Firefox or Google Chrome. Here is how to use it with Firefox:
A drawback of using VaryByContentEncoding in the OutputCache directive is that it disables kernel caching for this file. Kernel caching is a highly efficient form of server side caching, and is discussed in Chapter 5 of my book ASP.NET Site Performance Secrets.
So should you use VaryByContentEncoding in the OutputCache directive? Seeing that you are reading this chapter, the gain in compression by using VaryByContentEncoding may well outweigh the loss of kernel caching, especially seeing that you already use output caching. Your best bet would be to try both scenarios in production for a while, and compare CPU usage, response times, and bandwidth used per request for each scenario.
In this article, we saw how to configure compression on IIS 7, including its more advanced, lesser known features. In the next article, I'll show how to get the most out of the compression features built into IIS 6.

text: Hi, Just wanted to know if anyone knows of a way for iTunes 11 to remember my search in the library. I is really bugging me that when I: 1) search in my library 2) selects to play a song/album 3) switches to sync my iPhone / look in the iTunes Store 4) switches back to "music" in my library then I have to redo the search to e.g. restart the album, select a specific song from those search terms etc... iTunes 10.x always remembered the search - a great way to e.g. just create a very temporary playlist etc. Has anyone else noticed this? Regards, Jakobben

The Accreditation Council for Business Schools and Programs (ACBSP) has granted initial accreditation to the Division of Business at Northwestern Oklahoma State University for four of its bachelor's degree programs.
Northwestern was one of 18 colleges and universities from around the world to earn initial accreditation from the group.
"The national accreditation of our Division of Business was one of my top academic priorities upon becoming president of Northwestern," said Dr. Janet Cunningham, president of Northwestern. "Our business programs have a long and distinguished track record, but had never pursued this type of recognition on a national level.
"Gaining ACBSP accreditation is a long and time-consuming process and required a tremendous amount of effort from our business faculty and the academic leadership team. I am extremely proud of their efforts. I am also thrilled for our students as a degree from an accredited business program will add recognition and prestige to their degree."
Cunningham praised the work of Dr. Steven Palmer, chair of the Division of Business, in leading the process and providing guidance to the faculty and the academic administration.
Programs earning ACBSP accreditation include Bachelor of Science (B.S.) degrees in accounting, business administration and organizational leadership, and a Bachelor of Applied Science (B.A.A.S.) degree in technical management.
"Northwestern has shown its commitment to teaching excellence and to the process of quality improvement by participating in the accreditation process," said Steve Parscale, ACBSP director of accreditation. "The initial accreditation shows the commitment to provide the highest quality business education for its students."
As part of the accreditation process, Northwestern underwent a detailed self-study process and played host to a visiting team of evaluators.
In its report to the ACBSP Board of Commissioners, the evaluation team cited the faculty and leadership for preparing "a comprehensive self-study documenting an overall well-developed, learning outcomes focused program," calling the self-study a best practices document.
In addition, ACBSP lauded Northwestern's response to the team's feedback report.
"The institution's response to the feedback report was thorough and clearly reflects their commitment and dedication to the continuous improvement process. Both the visiting team and the Board of Commissioners concur that NWOSU has done an exemplary job and is to be highly commended. In short, this is a best practices institution when it comes to modeling the initial accreditation process."
About ACBSP
ACBSP's mission is to promote continuous improvement and recognize excellence in the accreditation of business education programs around the world. ACBSP is recognized by the Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA) as a specialized accreditation agency for business education. ACBSP currently has 1,051 member campuses, 154 of which are located outside of the United States. Of those campuses, 541 have achieved accreditation and more than 488 are in candidacy for accreditation.

Summer-blend regulations cited as cause of this week's gas hike
Motorists noticed an increase at the gas pump this week in Montcalm County, but according to petroleum analysts, the hike was caused by regulations to have cleaner gas during the summer months.
According to Senior Petroleum Analyst Gregg Laskoski of GasBuddy.com, gas prices increase because refineries are getting ready to produce their summer blend, which has to be available by May 1.
"The summer blend is mandated by the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency)," Laskoski said, noting summer-blend gasoline burns cleaner to reduce pollution.
In order to start producing the summer blend, Laskoski said refineries start to shut down some of their production activity to make room for the new product. Because production slows, it tightens up the amount of gasoline available to consumers.
Although the summer-blend gasoline does not have to be out until May 1, he said, the cycle starts now so warmer states like California can get the cleaner-burning gasoline sooner.
"This is one thing that drives up (gas prices) this time of year," Laskoski said.
The difference in summer-blend gasoline and winter-blend gasoline, Laskoski explained, is the amount of Reid Vapor Pressure (RVP).
According to EPA.gov, RVP is a common measure of a generic term for gasoline volatility and it regulates the vapor pressure of gasoline sold at retail stations during the summer. The website states the regulation is in effect from June 1 to Sept. 15.
Laskoski said in winter blends, the RVP can be found between 11 and 15. In the summer-blend gasolines, the RVP is at nine or below.
Although the price hike can be seen across the nation, Laskoski said other states did not see the 20- to 30-cent hike Michigan did this week.
"The Great Lakes states always see a drastic increase," he said.
One of the reasons for this, Laskoski said, is because compared to the rest of the nation, there are fewer refineries that produce gasoline for the Great Lakes region.
As of Tuesday, the average price for gasoline in Michigan was $3.949, he said, adding one month ago, the average was $3.379.
"This has to be pretty upsetting for consumers (in that area)," Laskoski said.
For the future, Laskoski said the peak for gas prices is still predicted to hit in April — just in time to kick off the traveling season.
Laskoski said although April is projected to be the peak, it does not mean gas prices will plummet in the following months, but should come off the peak and begin to level out.
During the peak of prices, Laskoski predicts the nation's average gasoline price will be between $3.809 and $3.959. However, in Michigan (based on Detroit) the gas peak is projected to be between $3.959 and $4.259.
According to GasBuddy.com, on Tuesday, Michigan had the eighth highest average at $3.939. Hawaii was the highest with $4.337 and Wyoming was the lowest with $3.229.

UF Attempts to Crack Down on Graduation Selfies
Published April 24th, 2014
Loading Video...
GAINESVILLE, Fla. -- You can add the University of Florida to the ever-growing list of colleges and universities that are trying to stop students from taking selfies at graduation.
UF officials announced this week that they would be posting signs on either side of the main graduation stage asking students to turn off their cell phones before walking to accept their degrees.
While the decision doesn't explicitly ban selfies, University officials say it was one of driving forces behind the move. They say the new rule should also keep the ceremonies moving at a decent pace.
UF students graduating this semester seem divided over whether the new rule is a good idea.
"I don't think it would be very professional for students to walk across the stage and be taking selfies," said UF senior Rebecca Rhodes, who supports the new cell phone ban.
Fellow senior Weslee Aristor disagrees. "As long as people are walking across the stage, and they're not stopping or taking group pictures, then I understand the issue. But I haven't seen that in the graduations that I've seen thus far," Aristor says.
Earlier in the week, two other universities -- USF in Tampa and Bryant University in Rhode Island -- both announced they would also be banning cellphones on stage.
UF officials say there will not be any penalties for graduates who break this new rule.
The first commencement will take place on Friday.

Our research broadly applies stem cell biology to human cancers. We take advantage of a diverse range of experimental systems to initially formulate general concepts regarding cancer biology then transition to more focused studies in order to develop novel therapeutics.
Cancer stem cell biology
A major focus of the laboratory is examining the biology of cancer stem cells. Cancer stem cells are thought to be the cells containing most if not all, of the growth potential within an individual tumor. Our laboratory initially identified cancer stem cells in the plasma cell malignancy multiple myeloma (1) then later demonstrated that these cells were relatively resistant to most agents used to treat patients with the disease (2). Subsequently, we have used many of the same laboratory methods in our myeloma studies to identify and study cancer stem cells in classical Hodgkins lymphoma (3). mantle cell lymphoma (4), pre B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (5), and pancreatic cancer (6,7).
Investigating self-renewal
In order to develop strategies to target cancer stem cells, we have focused our studies on cellular pathways involved in regulating normal stem cells. We have examined signaling pathways involved in embryonic development, most extensively the Hedgehog pathway, and have found that it regulates the fate decisions, including self-renewal, of multiple myeloma cancer stem cells (8). In collaboration with other labs, we have also studied the role of Hedgehog signaling in acute leukemias (5), brain tumors (9), and pancreatic cancer (10). We have also examined the role of telomerase that is normally required for maintaining the ends of linear chromosomes during cellular replication in myeloma stem cells (11), as well as agents inducing the differentiation of cancer stem cells that leads to the loss of self-renewal (12,13).
We are also interested in how cellular pathways active in human cancers regulate normal self-renewing cells, such as hematopoietic stem cells (14) or memory immune cells, using transgenic mouse models and normal human tissues.
Clinical translation
A major goal of all our projects is to rapidly translate our laboratory findings to patients. Several of the therapeutic strategies developed in the lab are being tested in clinical trials in multiple myeloma (15, 16), myeloid leukemia (17, 18), Hodgkins lymphoma (19, 20) and pancreatic cancer (21) in close collaboration with clinical investigators at Johns Hopkins. Within the context of these trials, we carry out extensive correlative laboratory studies in order to test our hypotheses in the clinic. Morevoer, we have also begun to develop novel biomarkers to track cancer stem cells in patients undergoing treatment.

Only your culinary creativity can limit your ideas on how to cook and serve squid or calamari. I feel that this mollusc can be combined with a variety of ingredients especially vegetables. Artichokes, courgettes, spinach and even broad beans marry well with squid. So have a look at your vegetable storage, see what's in season and create your favourite squid dish. My preferred option is stuffed squid. This time I am proposing a delicate stuffing with ricotta. I got thumbs up for this one.
Serves 4
- 4 whole squid, cleaned (600g)
- 40g sliced white bread (crust removed)
- 1 garlic clove
- 6 black olives
- 1 tsp capers in salt
- 300g cherry tomatoes
- 2 tblsp dry white wine
- 80g ricotta
- 1 egg
- Oregano
- Extra virgin olive oil
- Salt & pepper
Finely chop the tentacles of the squid, peel the garlic clove and put the salted capers in some warm water to soak. In the meantime, take a large frying pan, put some olive oil, add the garlic clove and the tentacles and leave on high heat for few minutes, stirring continuously. Pour in the wine and leave to evaporate. Remove the garlic clove.
Blend the bread pieces in the mixer to get rough crumbs. Remove the tentacles from the pan, keeping the frying pan to the side without clearing away the remaining juices. Mix the tentacles with the bread mixture, chopped olives, ricotta, egg, oregano, drained capers and season with pepper. Stuff the squid and close with toothpicks.
Take the frying pan, previously used for the tentacles, add some olive oil and cook the squid for 3 minutes from each side until browned. Add the halved cherry tomatoes, and cook for another 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

Hillsbus patrons have generously contributed $9,450 to The Children's Hospital at Westmead through last year's Christmas Bus appeal.
Hillsbus drivers spent many hours decorating the six themed buses which travelled across the network in November and December, collecting money from passengers in donation buckets, and every cent will be presented to the Hospital on Monday 23rd of January at 12pm.
"We are so grateful for the support of Hillsbus and the dedication of drivers for creating such amazing Christmas displays in support of the Hospital. The effort the community has gone to and the funds raised through this appeal really have helped to brighten the lives of sick kids," Gilly Paxton, Director of Community Relations and Marketing at the Sydney Children's Hospitals Network said.
Here at CDC NSW we thrive on great customer service and applaud our staff when they remind us how important it is to always serve our communities through exceptional customer service.
One of our drivers Phil Noble from Transborder Express operated the NSW TrainLink service from Eden to Canberra. On the 2nd of January 2017 he received a compliment from a customer on board his bus who witnessed Phil help a young customer travelling alone. The customer wrote saying "It was truly lovely to see this small act of kindness. Thank you for employing such a decent man with such great customer service". Phil Noble has received 3 compliments in past months for excellent customer service.
Well done Phil and thank you for your commitment.

An Awakening
The availability of affordable high speed Internet service to the public has resulted in an exodus from traditional modem connectivity - an environment where dynamic IP addressing provided an often unacknowledged layer of security to unprotected systems. While realizing superior performance, these users are also becoming increasingly aware of security implications associated with static addressing and full time connections. It is becoming disturbingly common to hear of incidents where home âNet connected systems have been accessed by neighbors or persons unknown.
The Openness of Windows 9x
Features within Windows 9x were designed to provide ease of use and sharing of information (security was certainly not the priority). One of these features is file and printer sharing - a feature requiring utilization of NetBIOS. Improperly administered shares may present a moderate risk in the userâs local area network, however this risk can escalate quickly when connected to the Internet. DSL and cable modem service can enable other users on a common subnet or segment to access these shared resources as easily as clicking on Network Neighborhood. All too often shares are not password protected. Malicious activity including installation of BackOrifice, Netbus or other such programs can ensue and ultimately breach security of other connected systems - i.e.: secured remote access sessions with enterprise networks.
DSL and Cable Modem Network Characteristics
DSL and cable modem networks can vary in design and configuration. A fundamental difference between the two is that DSL networks are switched and users do not share transport media. It is possible for users to see other systems in their subnet, however the traffic is limited to resource broadcasts.
Cable modem networks, on the other hand, can be viewed as a LAN. Many users may share a common segment and thus may not only see other userâs resource broadcasts, but the actual data streams as well. This may not always be the case, however, if the ISP has implemented enhanced filtering technique such as DOCSIS (Data On Cable Service Interface Specification). The important thing that one must understand is that the access network does not protect a system from attack. The user must take measures to secure their computer.
Protecting The System
Protecting a full time Internet connected Windows 9x system does not have to be a daunting task. Key considerations that should be addressed are:
- Determine whether file and print sharing is really needed. Most home based systems donât require it. It is recommended that NetBIOS be unbound from TCP/IP (effectively disabling Windows (SMB) file and print sharing).
- Install a software or appliance based firewall. Functionality and performance will vary between various products. Some firewalls will provide NAT (network address translation) services which fits well with multiple users sharing one Internet connection - however be aware that NATs do not provide firewall services. A growing number of personal firewall products are readily available. Concept, method and features vary so an evaluation of needs should be conducted before selecting a product.
- Confirm that the "protected" system is in fact protected. Intrusion testing tools can be run against the connection. While not as comprehensive as tools like Network Associates "CyberCop", web based services such as Gibson Researchâs "Shields UP!" at URL http://grc.com/default.htm can be used for this purpose.

Riccardo Sapienza
Dr Riccardo Sapienza is a Lecturer in Physics at King's College London and received his Master in Physics in 2001 from the University of Padova in Italy. He holds a PhD from LENS, The European Laboratory for Non-Linear Spectroscopy and before joining King's he worked at the ICMM Instituto de Ciencia de Materiales de Madrid, the Langevin Institute in Paris and the ICFO The institute of Photonic Sciences in Barcelona.
Riccardo's main scientific interest is nanophotonics and in particular the coherent interaction of light with mesoscopic and nanoscale photonic systems, individually and collectively. It involves a combination of nano-optics, quantum optics and photonics of complex systems.
He explores quantum and nanoscale photonics to control the generation, confinement and flow of light. He look at coherent interactions of light emitted from a single quantum dot or a molecule with nanoscale engineered materials, such as nanometer-sized optical resonators and metallic antennas, at the individual level, which are also the building blocks for more complex optical networks.
Riccardo and his team are interested in understanding how quantum information can travel long distances by coupling photons and emitters via tailored optical modes of complex optical networks. They expect fascinating collective phenomena to emerge from these complex architectures, and by inducing stimulated emission we will explore unconventional and random lasing.

News that Warren Buffett, the brilliant US investor known as the Sage of Omaha, has prostate cancer and that Facebook has bought Instagram for $1 billion — despite the fact the photo app doesn't have any revenues — has set Jamie Berry, executive chairman of London wealth manager Berry Asset Management, thinking.
"It is hardly surprising that some investors, ourselves included, prefer to leave the whole dotcom segment of the market to braver souls," he tells clients. "Values in the old-fashioned sense are almost impossible to pin on companies, and fashions can change very rapidly, leaving what looked like valid business models well and truly high and dry. It is not for nothing that Warren Buffett sticks to businesses that he understands. When he bought Wrigley's Chewing Gum, he happily proclaimed that, however much he thought about it, he didn't think the internet would change the way people chew gum. Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg is probably wishing his business model was as simple."
A Barclays expert on BBC's doorstep
Much interest on the BBC airwaves about Barclays boss Bob Diamond's mega-pay package, and how shareholder pressure has forced him to defer some of his bonus. Radio 4's Today Programme devoted a chunk of airtime this morning to the ongoing row about Diamond's controversial package, which included a £5 million-plus tax resettlement bill, paid by the bank. What a shame the BBC never seems to focus on one man who would be well-placed to explain this fiasco — Barclays chairman Marcus Agius, who is also a senior independent non-executive director of the BBC. City Spy looks forward to the Barclays annual meeting next Friday when Agius won't be able to avoid the spotlight.
Dig deep for a Titanic relic
Investors ahoy! Amid all the brouhaha surrounding the 100th anniversary of the Titanic sinking, City Spy hears of the existence of a little-known portion of the ship's hull, raised from the wreck in 1998 and being sold by millionaire gold dealer Mark Manning.
He acquired the rust-streaked, slightly flaking lump of metalwork - no bigger than a baby's fist - several years ago and is now selling what is perhaps one of the rarest bits of metalwork in the world.
It formed part of the ship adjoining cabins C79 and C81, and was recovered from the seabed in 1998 by American businessman George Tulloch. It was dubbed "the Big Piece".
Manning says: "I have considered cutting it up into tiny pieces and putting them on jewellery or something, but it would be better to preserve this historic part of the hull intact. It is hard to believe this scrap of metal was all there was between the inside of the ship and the Atlantic."
*They were best-known for putting up the high-end bookshelves in Cherie Blair's study during a refurbishment of 10 Downing Street. But the 152-year-old posh joiner Killby & Gayford — unlike the bookshelves it erected — has sadly collapsed.
As well as the PM's residence, the firm did work for scores of prestigious clients including the Royal Household, Sotheby's, the Wallace Collection and a host of City banks. Alas, the impeccable establishment connections could not save the Billericay-based company from administration yesterday.
*A trip to Sports Direct for some new work shirts (shut it, times are hard). The nice young fellow at the till tries to flog a bag for 99p. No, thank you. How about a smaller one for 49p? No, thank you. "Oh go on mate. It will keep management off my case. I've just come on shift and if you don't sell enough bags in the first hour, they send you home." He's ruthless, that Mike Ashley.
*Spotted: Edelman PR man Richard Sambrook (he's "chief content officer") lunching with BBC1 newsreader Huw Edwards at The Wolseley. Edelman has recently become a haunt for ex-BBC executives like Sambrook and Ed Williams. Huw, you'd be a natural in corporate PR.
*For useful tips on how to weaponize everyday items on your desk, go to Bloomberg's businessweek.com website. Simple but effectives weapons include a ball-and-chain flail built fro a power cable, ruler and hole punch, and a war axe from a ruler, scissors and USB lead.Reuse content

ITU members are being
asked to complete a questionnaire to assess the global impact
of ICT standards. The call comes as part of a project (NO-REST) funded by the European
NO-REST aims to provide
insight that will enable better standards building in the future. Additionally,
it will look at standards setting organizations, such as ITU, to assess whether
the developer of a particular standard influences its performance and success.
The results will enable NO-REST to develop guidelines, which may assist in
choosing the ideal standards setting organization for producing a particular
The results of this survey
will be made available at the ITU-hosted SIIT 2005 conference in Geneva, September 21-23.
Dr. Knut Blind,
the co-ordinator of NO-REST, was also responsible for the study - Economic
Benefits of Standardization, published by DIN, the German institute of
standardization. The project was one of the first attempts to put a monetary
value on standardization. It found that Europe's
economy and businesses greatly benefit from the application of standards. Blind
together with other researchers has recently produced a similar paper for the United Kingdom.
The Empirical Economics of Standards
was funded and published by the British Department of Trade and Industry.

Lawmakers slam plan to house Yau Ma Tei homeless with rubbish
Officials seeking to redevelop the Yau Ma Tei Theatre came under fire yesterday for proposing to keep a rubbish collection point next to a street sleepers' shelter when the two are moved.
Both facilities share a building next to the theatre on Shanghai Street and current plans are to move them together to a new site in 2016.
But lawmakers, describing the plan as inhumane and unacceptable, voted down a request from the Home Affairs Bureau to pass the plan to the Legislative Council's works and finance subcommittees for discussion.
Undersecretary for Home Affairs Florence Hui Hiu-fai, said it was a "historical coincidence" that the shelter and the rubbish point were put together.
Questioned by education constituency lawmaker Ip Kin-yuen, Hui acknowledged the difficulty in finding an alternate site for the street sleepers.
She also said removing the two facilities would help "create a better cultural ambience" for the theatre - a remark that brought on swift criticism.
"I can't see how a refuse collection point created ambience for the street sleepers," Labour Party lawmaker Fernando Cheung Chiu-hung said.
Hui said the new rubbish site would have better air-purifying equipment.
But super seat lawmaker Chan Yuen-han, of the Federation of Trade Unions, said it was still "a very wrong decision".
"However beautiful a refuse point might be, it's still a refuse point," she said.
Tang Moon-yiu of the Street Sleepers' Shelter Society, which operates the 70-bed shelter, said the new site, while not the best, was "acceptable in principle".
"After all, ours is an unwelcome facility," he told the South China Morning Post.

Superb flavorThis is my go to non-nicotine menthol ejuice when I wanna chain vape with my Vapor Zeus and enjoy flavor with tons of vape clouds.
Attention all menthol loversThis is the E-juice you'd want to buy and add to a tank along with Premium Smilin Special Menthol Nobacco Juice for the ultimate non-analog menthol smoking experience. Even just by itself it's an amazing and unreal E-juice that will satisfy any menthol lover.
I like this oneNot too harsh, great flavor. 1.8 nic. is my preference. Ex smoker and I enjoy the tobacco flavors. This is the one for me. Thanks V4L !
Great tobacco tasteMenthol doesn't overpower it at all. Really nice and fresh tobacco taste. If you smoked menthol cigs this is the one you should try first.
The best!I have been using my Dial-A-Volt auto since January of this year and haven't looked back. Just celebrated being tobacco-free for 6 months! I combine this e-liquid with Dunwoody menthol and get great flavor, great vapor and all the enjoyment I could ask for. Great product from a great company.
