The PlayStation One came out in September 2000 as a redesigned version of the original PlayStation console launched in 1995. Together with the PS2, launched in November 2000, around 118m PlayStations have been sold worldwide.
Sony hopes that by cutting the price of the PlayStation One from £79.99 to £49.99 in the UK it will attract younger gamers, who will then go on to buy the PS2.
Chris Deering, president of Sony Computer Entertainment Europe, said: 'The PS one has been a terrific success, and there are now well over 35m PS ones in homes throughout Europe, with over 1,300 games titles available. The price change, the first for almost three years, will help to further broaden the audience for PS one, making it more affordable for the younger gamer.'
Sony said the announcement was part of a three-year strategy to reduce the price of the PS one and not in response to Nintendo slashing £70 off the £199 price of its GameCube console less than a fortnight before its 3 May launch. Microsoft joined the price war when it cut the price of its Xbox console from £299 to £199 five weeks after its launch.

TAIPEI – Taiwan's coast guard said Monday that one of its vessels used water cannon this month to drive off a Vietnamese fishing boat near disputed islands in the South China Sea.
Two Vietnamese fishing boats were sighted on Jan. 6 some 2.5 nautical miles (3.7 km) off Taiping Island, an Taiwan-administered islet in the Spratlys, the coast guard said in a statement.
The Spratly Islands are also claimed in part or in whole by Vietnam, China, the Philippines, Malaysia and Brunei.
The two Taiwanese coast guard boats, which have been deployed there since December to replace smaller vessels, scrambled to drive off the Vietnamese boats.
One left while the second refused and instead attempted to zigzag. One coast guard vessel opened fire with water cannon because of fears it might be rammed, the statement said.
While denying accusations in Vietnamese media that Taiwanese coast guards had enforced the law outside their territorial waters, the coast guard tried to keep the event low-profile.
"That was a regular law-enforcement practise in a sensitive area," one coast guard official said on condition of anonymity.
China is seen by other claimants as the biggest threat in the South China Sea.
The Philippines and Vietnam have complained that China is becoming increasingly aggressive in its actions in the area — such as harassing fishermen — and also through bullying diplomatic tactics.
As part of efforts to strengthen defense capabilities, Taiwan late last year inaugurated a solar-powered lighthouse, an expanded airstrip and a pier on Taiping Island.
It serves as the home port of the 100-ton coast guard cutters and could accommodate 3,000-ton naval frigates.

The Government White Paper – Saving Lives: Our Healthier Nation – set two major objectives: to improve the health of the population as a whole and to improve the health of the worst off in society.
In support of these objectives the White Paper announced the establishment of a Public Health Observatory in each of the NHS Regions. The eight observatories will be linked together to form a national network of knowledge, information and surveillance in public health. These observatories will be in the tradition of other great observatories around the world:
- Royal Observatory Greenwich
- The Vatican Observatory
- The Mount Wilson Observatory
- Parkes Radio Observatory
These new observatories will also be a resource for enquiry – searching for and compiling information and datasets on the nation's health and distilling from them the knowledge to guide its improvement.
This site – www.pho.org.uk – is the national umbrella site and will provide a gateway to each of the Regional Observatories and also to national data resources.
The PHO project continues to develop and would welcome communications from potential national partners. Please Contact Dr J A Muir Gray

How To Make Asparagus RisottoSeptember 1, 2005 | By | COMMENTS
I think it's easy and rewarding to make asparagus risotto. The season of asparagus is, I suppose, over (one website says it starts mid-April and ends two months later; which, using my calculator, means: it's over) but you can still find it in your grocery store, I bet. I did. So can you. And you should buy some because this risotto's pretty easy and fun to make. Maybe this picture will entice you:
The recipe comes from The River Cafe cookbook (the one in London, not the New York one) and you'll need the following:
2 lbs asparagus, trimmed
1 qt Chicken Stock (though I wish I had just a drop more)
coarse sea salt and freshly ground pepper
1 small red onion, peeled and very finely chopped
2 Tbs unsalted butter
3 Tbs olive oil
1 1/2 cups risotto rice (Arborio rice is what I used)
1/3 cup vermouth
3/4 cup fresh grated Parmesan
(1) So heat the chicken stock and check for seasoning. You don't want to bring it to a boil or it will evaporate while you do everything else. Just warm it up. But make sure to season because if it's not salty enough, your risotto will be bland.
(2) Cut the tips off the asparagus and keep to one side. Chop the tender parts of the stalks into approximately 1-inch pieces.
(3) Blanch the asparagus tips for 2 minutes (in boiling salted water) and then blanch the stalks for about 3 minutes. In a blender pulse the stalks with a ladle of stock:
(See, I really like this step because instead of having those unattractive stalks in the end product it gets all mushed up and incorporated into the risotto itself.)
(4) In a heavy saucepan, cook the onion in half the butter and the olive oil over a low heat for about 10 minutes until soft.
(5) Add the rice and cook gently, stirring, for 2 minutes to coat the rice with the oil.
[So here's your set-up for what follows. You should have your risotto rice pot right next to the heated broth and have your ladle ready. The next part is what separates the men from the boys, the ladies from the girls and the transgendered from the bi-curious.]
(6) Start to add the stock, ladle by ladle, stirring constantly, allowing each ladleful to be absorbed before adding the next. Continue until the rice is al dente, usually about 20 minutes.
[Here's where I entered a bit of a crisis: about 15 minutes in, almost all the broth was gone and the rice wasn't nearly cooked enough. I somehow was able to save the day by lowering the heat a lot and rationing off the rest of the broth (that was the only broth I had) but if I were you I'd have more broth on hand. Make sure to taste as it gets close to 20 minutes to see how cooked the rice is.]
(7) So once the rice is al dente, add the stalk puree, vermouth, asparagus tips, the rest of the butter, and the Parmesan. Stir a bit and it turns a fun green color:
That's it! Now just plate it up and grate some more Parmesan on top. Here it is up close:
It really captures the essence of asparagus; what more could you want from a risotto? Plus it goes great with white wine. And tomorrow, with the leftovers, I might make fried risotto balls. Pending cholesterol results, naturally. (Are you tired of me talking about that yet?) Happy risotto making!

Christine and Gary Olejniczak are photographers located in the Madison, Wisconsin area and create fine art quality nature images.
Since 2007, our commitment has been to enhance our skills and knowledge of photography and its related processes. Canon is our choice of equipment. We have attended many on location workshops, read extensively on the topic of photography and have been practicing, practicing, practicing in the field ever since..
We create images of landscapes and birds, our two favorite subjects. We shoot for the joy of shooting and hope the galleries on this site portray that joy and are enjoyed by our visitors. Our work is based on an artistic approach to presenting images. We do not attempt to portray the exact reality of the scene in front of us. What we do present is how we saw the scene and felt about the subject. Our viewers are welcome to comment on any aspect of our images, good or bad. We view photography as a forever learning process.
Occasionally, we will post a question or photographic issue looking for solutions, suggestions or techniques from our audience. We hope that you will respond and the site will become a forum where photographers both share and learn.

I called them and they had no idea why this was happening and were going to try to contact manufacturer. My indy mechanic says that different year and model e46's have different lighting control boards in the ECU which handle the LED resistors differently. What kind of e46 did you install these LED tails on? That would be great if we could get to the bottom of this.
It is a 2003 4D 325i. I did not know that they installed different lighting control boards depending on year and model. But it is a good point. May be those resistors are not the right kind for the car or something. We need to figure this out, it really bothers me. I am taking my car to dealership tomorrow for routine maintenance and will pick the brain of some smart electronic technician over there

Animal Groups call for Tougher Statewide Spay and Neuter Requirements
The Texas Federation of Animal Care Societies says the drive to end euthanasia of unwanted pets will never result in San Antonio and other cities achieving their stated goal of becoming 'no kill cities' unless the Legislature moves to impose strict spay and neuter laws, 1200 WOAI news reports.
The group, which represents shelters and groups like the Humane Society and the SPCA, is holding its annual meeting in San Antonio.
"You just can't keep giving animals away, and expect that it is going to solve the problem," said Pat Nordyke, the group's executive director. "It's never going to solve the problem."
She says many cities, like San Antonio, have tightened up on spay and neuter laws, but the only way that the population of unwanted pets is even going to come down is for the state to emulate a tough new law just approved by the City of Waco.
"They have just passed a spay/neuter ordinance that says you 'shall' have your animals spayed or neutered," she said.
Nordyke says Waco allocated money to spay and neuter pets owned by people who may not be able to afford the process, and also is sending animal control officers into neighborhoods to make sure pets are spayed.
Several reasons, from cost to cultural backlash, have prevented state lawmakers from moving forward with proposed tough new spay/neuter laws.
The organization is also experimenting with ways that dogs which are considered 'unadoptable' because they are so active can be trained to become working service dogs. Nordyke says there remains a major demand for dogs to do work ranging from sniffing out drugs and explosives, to helping disabled war veterans.
She also praised the new law that places pets under the umbrella of 'protective orders' and allows judges to step in and prevent harm from being done to pets in domestic violence cases. Nordyke says too often, an abuser will threaten to harm the victim's beloved cat or dog if she leaves him or calls for help. Nordyke singled out the San Antonio Battered Women's Shelter for praise for installing a kennel on the property where the pets of battered women can be protected.

Hi, I'm a younger hunter and I am a sophmore at Halifax HS. Halifax is a small town along the Susquehanna about 20 miles or so above Harrisburg. I was wondering if anyone knows any decent spots where they see ducks or geese that is huntable.
I do not yet have my driver's license and my dad is not able to waterfowl hunt but he sometimes drops me off at places.
I only have a dozen goose shells, a call, and a flag but I know I'll have at least 2 dozen mallard decoys after Christmas.
I'm usually limited to hunting time, Saturdays and after school. Not much time after school though because I can only hunt one field that I've seen geese in before, but are nowhere to be found now.
Anyone know of any areas or swamps for ducks and geese around this area? Any advice on that or just tips on waterfowling is greatly appreciated. Thanks guys!

A friend told me about a Bushmaster in .556 with a red dot scope that was listed for $799 at a local gun store. My knowledge of rifles is pretty limited, but I understand than this is a good, reliable make. Is the price a good deal?

A friend told me about a Bushmaster in .556 with a red dot scope that was listed for $799 at a local gun store. My knowledge of rifles is pretty limited, but I understand than this is a good, reliable make. Is the price a good deal?
Depends on the scope and when the Bushmaster was made. In the past Bushmaster was better than it is currently. Either way that's not a bad price, but how good it is depends on those two questions.
not a bad price for an ar but if it is the bushmaster with the carbon/polymer lower i wouldnt buy it. I have talked with many gun stores and they will not carry that gun due to the polymer lower flexing and causing problems
Bushmaster has been an excellent brand in the past from my experience. I would not buy one with a polymer lower -- or any manufacturer with a polymer lower receiver.
Going to hear it from a few but there is a reason they are cheaper. They are ok and shoot well but not a life tame weapon if you really shoot it.
What a good AR/M4 go mil-spec or higher.
It's probably the carbon 15... Budsgunshop.com sells it for $699 shipped.
You guys have pretty much talked me out of the newer Bushmaster; but I was at my LGS the other day buying ammo, and they had a few models of the AR15 by Stag Arms. The one I was interested had iron sights, no carrying handle, and could be fitted with optics later on if desired. The sticker was $799, and they'll give me 5% off that. Everything I've read about this manufacturer has been very good.
Any thoughts on this one?
I was gonna say offer them $700 out the door. He might bite
Ordered another Colt no down side to them.
Stag's are typically pretty good. Bushmaster's are good though... carbon 15 has some naysayers, but overall they're a million times better than the average DPMS or similar lower priced AR's. (DPMS makes good ones too though)
I imagine if you look through the Shotgun and Rifle sub-forum you'll get some good information on decent quality rifles that won't break the bank.
check out M4Carbine.net for baseline info on the AR platform.
Also, PM or search for posts by member jonconsiglio (he's the resident "go-to" guy for AR questions)
Example of price on Bushmaster
Bushmaster Carbon 15 SuperLight ORC Optic - Mills Fleet Farm
For under $800, you can't beat a PSA PSA 16'' M4 Premium Carbine - Palmetto State Armory - Rifles - Firearms
Properly staked, and ready to go.
Colt 6920 1000 at Walmart as good as it gets a far better platform worth a couple bucks more.

Compare Viewty Lite KU990i pink Deals
The LG Viewty Lite KU990i (quite a mouthful) in dramatic black is, in essence, a cut-down version of the KU990 Viewty, but this remains an excellent business-cum-entertainment handset. There is the 5 megapixel camera for stills and videos, with LED flash and autofocus, delivering its results to a 3-inch touchscreen (with stylus); there is a secondary VGA video call camera to take advantage of the 3G facility.
The 3G capability enables fast internet page downloads – we're talking seconds – thanks to HSDPA technology and the integral Web browser. The 990i is a tri-band phone, so supports international roaming, while offering comprehensive messaging capabilities: SMS, MMS and email.
Other features include an FM radio, music player (supporting all popular music formats including MP3) a video player, alarm clock, calendar and document viewer. It can also synchronise data with your PC and there is a card slot for additional memory.
The battery life really does depend on how you use the device, but a tip is to reduce the brightness by 20% to enjoy a much longer spell between charges.

Home > News & Events > News > Articles > Roy Family Award Presented to FedEx Truck Team
There was a special delivery Wednesday afternoon to the Kennedy School of Government. A bright white FedEx truck on display in the school's courtyard was itself the special package as a peek under the hood revealed. The unique delivery truck was equipped with a hybrid diesel-electric engine that burns cleaner and achieves vastly better gas mileage than most other delivery trucks on the road.
The three organizations that teamed up to design the truck – FedEx Express, Environmental Defense and Eaton Corporation – were presented with the 2005 Roy Family Award for Environmental Partnership during an awards ceremony Wednesday evening. The award is coordinated by the Belfer Center 's Environment and Natural Resources Program (ENRP).
Kennedy School Academic Dean Stephen Walt presented the award in honor of "an outstanding partnership project that enhances environmental quality through the use of novel and creative approaches."
"This project demonstrates that hybrid trucks can be a practical, economically viable alternative, and could become the industry standard," said the Kennedy School 's Henry Lee, director of the ENRP. If all goes well, FedEx plans to make the hybrid a standard replacement vehicle in its weight class of 30,000 medium-duty trucks
"We're honored that Harvard's prestigious Kennedy School has recognized the environmental achievement and ingenuity of our project with FedEx," said Environmental Defense President Fred Krupp. "This project demonstrates that by tapping into the inexhaustible energy source of human creativity, imagination, and entrepreneurship, we can protect the environment for ourselves and future generations." He noted that two members of the Environmental Defense team responsible for the hybrid project are KSG alums: Gwen Ruta MPA'95, director of Corporate Partnerships, and Elizabeth Sturcken MPP'96, project manager.
David J. Bronczek, president of FedEx Express, added that FedEx "looks forward to continued pursuit of promising technologies that protect and respect the environment." Jim Sweetnam, senior vice president and group executive for Eaton's Truck Group, which developed the hybrid electric powertrain technology, expressed Eaton's appreciation for the recognition "along with our esteemed partners."
This was the second Roy Family Award. The first award, presented in March 2003, recognized efforts to design and implement the Noel Kempff Mercado Climate Action Plan in Bolivia . The Roy Family has been a long-time supporter of the development of public-private partnerships to meet social goals.

King of the Crash
Dont call him a shitty driver just because he crashed a rare Enzo Ferrari while taking a practice spin during a 2007 charity racing event. Er, he meant to do that. Call it comedic license or someone-should-revoke-your license, but comedian Eddie Griffin wasnt harmed in the expensive accident, so it simply must have been shenanigans courtesy of a man whose life work is to make us laugh, right?
He has laced us with so many laughs as Deuces pimp in the Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo films that we really dont care what he does in his off-time, but this Friday and Saturday he will appear at the Miami Improv, and were kinda hoping he has a driver. Both nights, Griffin will grace the stage for two shows (8:30 and 10:45), so thats four chances to see a guy whose comedic chops have been confirmed onscreen and off. His driving record is another story.

The Canyon Del Oro Dorados may have lost the championship game of the Dorado Softball Classic, 5-4, against Ironwood Ridge, but the prospects for the reigning state champions still look bright.
They displayed the ability to remain at elite status during the Dorado softball classic at Marana.
After winning the state title in 2011, and four of the last five years, the Dorados are playing their first year without a Fowler. Mattie Fowler graduated and went to Nebraska, after pitching and hitting CDO to the state title. Older sister Kenzie helped the Dorados to their three previous state titles, and is currently in her third season pitching for the Arizona Wildcats.
Then, there's coach, and mother, Kelly Fowler, who left after last season's title run.
There's still plenty of talent left on board, as the Dorados showed in their run to the softball classic's title game. In their first three games, they outscored the opposition 36-5.
They opened the tournament on Thursday with wins over Sahuarita,17-1, and Mountain View, 9-2.
On Friday, they took apart Cactus Shadows, 10-2, in the early game. New pitcher Alexis Alfonso gave up a first-inning homerun, but allowed no more earned runs, walked two, fanned four, and gave up only four hits in six innings of work.
Makenzie Sullivan provided some heavy lumber with a homerun and two doubles.
Sullivan said the homerun felt good.
"It was my first of the season," she said. "It's good to play this year. We had a great season last year."
The Dorados lost only once in 2011.
Kayla Bonstrom returns for her senior season. She's already committed to Stanford.
Last year, she was third on the team in batting average, and second in homeruns.
She also had an excellent season on the mound. She's valuable either on the mound, or at first base.
Bonstrom opened the game with a single, and came around to score after an error. In the second inning, the Dorados offense erupted.
Sullivan led off the inning with her home run. With two outs, Alexis Aguirre doubled. Bonstrom tripled her home. When her aggressive base running forced a wild throw to third, she scampered home to make it 4-1, CDO.
New coach Stephanie Nicholson is not a stranger to winning and success.
"A lot of expectations come with this job," Nicholson said. "I've been on a lot of successful teams."
She was an assistant on last year's squad.
"We're continuing on the (winning) path. It's been an easy transition," she said.
The Dorados have eight seniors, and Nicholson points out that is helping her to guide the team and keep them focused.
The Dorados scored again in the third, as Brianna Dohogne singled, was sacrificed to second, and scored on a double by Sullivan to make it 5-1.
Cactus Shadows matched that run with an unearned run in the third. Two errors occurred in the inning, but that was an aberration by the fundamentally sound Dorados, as they made no other errors in the contest.
Alfonso struck out the side in the fourth, and retired the final nine batters she faced.
"I expect our pitching to be consistent," Nicholson said. "We're trying to make every facet better."
The Dorados, who normally have three solid pitchers, look to feature Alfonso, Bonstrom, and Sabrina Roman on this year's staff.
With time running down, the Dorados made sure that the game wouldn't go past the sixth inning.
Leading 7-2 entering the sixth, Sammy Nettling homered on the first pitch thrown by the Cactus Shadows relief pitcher. Sammi Noland followed up with a triple.
Dohogne was hit in the foot, and a ground out plated one run, before Sullivan doubled home Dohogne for the final margin.
"CDO's always had a target on their back," Nicholson said. "Every game I want to get them thinking that they're playing for the championship."
Saturday's play was highly competitive for the Dorados.
CDO rallied to beat Pinnacle 12-11, before falling to the Nighthawks, 5-4.
Coach Nicholson doesn't want the team to play down to its competition, such as when they play against lesser teams.
Being the returning state champions, even if there is no Fowler on the roster, teams will continue looking at CDO as the target as the new season gets under way.

This Swallow Street steakhouse is part of the UK-wide restaurant chain, and is staffed by an international bunch of fashionistas, but what Gaucho lacks in authenticity, it makes up for in quality. From the Argentinian-style cheesy breads to the dulce de leche pancakes, via the succulent empanadas, meat and fish dishes, the food is impeccably sourced and carefully prepared.
The main event is the beef; before the meal, a waiter comes over with the five main steak cuts and explains how they're best served and accompanied. If you want the meatiest meat, choose ribeye, though the fillet is heavenly for those frightened of fat. Service is attentive and can verge on the invasive, especially at the Piccadilly and Richmond outposts – have a polite word and the waiters will back off.
The truly impressive wine list is pricey, but the house malbec is usually excellent. The newest branch is in Smithfield, bringing meat to London's carnopolis, as it were, and there's an O2 outlet where show-goers can hire a private suite.
Even more lavish, the Hampstead branch has a private dining room (and a lovely outside space), and you can hire your own sommelier and grill chef – for a hefty sum.
|Venue name:
|Gaucho Piccadilly

|Opening hours:
|Meals served noon-10.30pm Mon, Sun; noon-11pm Tue-Sat

Posted by Tom Grant on May 28, 2010
The always incisive and effervescent April Dunford has a great post at her blog Rocket Watcher about the reasons why your start-up needs a website, before you have a product to talk about. I couldn't agree more, for the following reasons:
Posted by Tom Grant on May 27, 2010
[More in a series of posts inspired by the "PM in an on-demand world" research that I've been doing. Here's the link to yesterday's thought du jour.]
During the research interviews about PM and SaaS, I was struck by how philosophical the conversations got. To the interviewees, SaaS was not merely a delivery vehicle, but a fundamental decision about their business. Bringing technology producers and consumers closer together forced many vendors to admit that they had a vague, incomplete idea of who adopts their products and services, why they do it, and how they do it. The subscription model led to many hard questions about how the company makes money. Marketers had to deal with a significantly modified value proposition, while simultaneously knocking down some new potential objections (most notably, security).
But those are just the most obvious consequences. The deeper we got into the research, the more I felt that we were talking about other ripple effects of SaaS, PaaS, and the other aaSes. At least a couple of Big Industry Trends – the kind that Very Serious People spend a great deal of time talking about – owe a great deal to SaaS. Without the success of SaaS, many organizations would not have been as open to embracing other changes. I'll mention just two of them, Agile and social media, among several that we'll discuss in the final report.
Posted by Tom Grant on May 26, 2010
As promised, still more SaaS! Following an excellent day of discussion about PM in an on-demand world, I started over here at the fresh-out-of-the-shrinkwrap Forrester community site. Topic: On demand is a business model choice, not just a delivery mechanism. Discuss.
I'm working on a report about the role of PM in an on demand setting (SaaS, PaaS, and all the other aaSes). As often happens in discussions about PM, the role is a window into many bigger issues. Since their responsibilities span both business and technology, product managers and product marketers find themselves in the middle of many fundamental questions for technology vendors, such as, How often should we deliver something new to our customers?
That question has two sides: (1) how often do customers want to receive something new, and (2) how often can the vendor deliver it. Both questions can be difficult to answer. Customers often want tech vendors to deliver value faster, but they also complain if the changes happen too fast. Vendors know that they could deliver new technology every time they do a build, but they also know that the entire company (sales, marketing, support, etc.) won't be able to keep up at that pace. There must be some golden mean between the pace of technology production and consumption, but what is it?
By shortening the distance between producers and consumers, on demand, and SaaS in particular, has made it easier to reach a meaningful answer. The on-premise model creates a very long value stream between the development team at the beginning of the technology adoption process, and the users at the very end. In fact, adoption is, at best, a blurry image on the distant horizon of the development team's field of vision. Since the success of a development team's work products depend on its adoption, lack of information about adoption is not an information gap, but a yawning chasm.

The Dell Streak launches this morning in the UK at O2 and Carphone Warehouse. Dell calls the Streak a 5" tablet – I see a slightly larger touchscreen smartphone that I hope will be ideal for collaboration tasks. While I have not performed a hands-on test, I did talk with Neeraj Choubey, general manager of tablets in Dell's Communications Solutions Group.
What does the Streak have? A 5" screen displays navigation, browser, and social networking. In addition to connectivity via Wi-Fi, 3G, and Bluetooth, the Streak boasts two cameras – a 5 megapixel camera on the back for taking pictures with the dual LED flash and a backward-facing VGA camera for videoconferencing. All this runs on Qualcomm's Snapdragon chipset and Google Android operating system.
In today's mobile world, information workers attend one or more meetings every day, and almost a third of their team members are not collocated with them (Ted Schadler writes about this in his report, "A Day In The Life Of A US Information Worker"). They are also out of the office more and more frequently – more than a third of information workers are out of the office regularly. This calls for solutions and devices that enable these mobile workers to communicate and collaborate – and the Streak fits nicely into market whitespace to fill this need.

StrateTalks (Strategy Talks) are summaries of my in-person exchanges with leaders at service and solution providers.
[05/13/10] It was 6:30 a.m. on Thursday morning when I checked out of the hotel and headed to Prudential Tower, where Accenture's Boston office is located.
On the way there, I saw Mark Foster walking in front of me.
Mark joined Accenture in 1983 and has been the group chief executive for Accenture's management consulting growth platform (technology and business process outsourcing [BPO] represent the two other growth platforms at Accenture) since 2006. However, Mark not only oversees the management consulting business but is also responsible for the growth, differentiation, and innovation agenda for Accenture overall.
He was also the person I was scheduled to meet at 7:00 a.m. to discuss Accenture's strategy for innovating itself. Over the course of several meetings with executives of the management consulting leadership team, I identified some interesting ongoing initiatives intended to drive Accenture's differentiation. I'd been wondering if these initiatives were just brewing in isolation or were really part of an overall strategy. This was the reason I needed to talk with Mark.
I called out to Mark; he turned around and greeted me. Together, we walked to the Prudential Tower, passed security, and took the elevator up to the Accenture floor.
What interests me about Accenture, besides the obvious facts around strategy, service portfolio, and go-to-market approach, is its culture — the true source for innovation and differentiation for any company. Accenture's culture is in my opinion very consistent. If you talk to a consultant, manager, or an executive such as Mark, all reflect this open and collaborative culture.
[05/11/10] After a long, but interesting, briefing with a service provider on its green IT and sustainability consulting services portfolio at our Cambridge, Mass., office, I jumped in a cab to Harvard Square.
I then met with Amy Quigley, VP of marketing at Continuum, an interesting firm. Why? More on that later. Amy has been with the company for about two years now. Prior to Continuum, she was in leading marketing roles at other firms, including Molecular and ATG.
What is Continuum? This was the overarching question I had had in my mind since contacting Amy about having this more philosophical-flavored chat.
Continuum's Web site notes that it is an innovation and design consultancy. According to Amy, Continuum has three domains of expertise: brand, design, and strategy. I'm primarily interested in Continuum's strategy approach, which is truly different. The firm leverages primarily design and creativity, rather than analytical, tools to help clients with their strategy. Some call this approach "design thinking".
However, I do not like this term, and Amy agreed that it does not perfectly capture how Continuum attempts to position itself at executive levels. This is also one of the reasons why her company is currently undertaking a major repositioning effort. Amy shared some of the company's early slides with me, and I agreed that the company is going in the right direction; for example, the firm is merging its areas of expertise and is creating research communities focused on business opportunities.
[05/11/10] It was a sunny Tuesday morning in Cambridge, Mass., when I met with Kevin Bolen, who is one of the eight partners of Innosight. Before joining Innosight in 2007, Kevin was the chief marketing officer (CMO) of Lionbridge Technologies.
It's been a while since our last chat and I was eager to get an update from Kevin on Innosight's business and his perspective on the innovation consulting landscape.
As with most of the innovation consulting services specialist firms, Innosight was born through the innovation of a new paradigm/model. In this case: disruptive innovation, introduced by Harvard Business School professor Clayton Christensen. He founded Innosight with Mark Johnson in 2000.
Ten years later, the firm employs about 50 people and is a publication machine. Why? At Innosight, partners/directors aren't the only employees publishing articles and books such as Mark's latest book, Seizing the Whitespace: Business Model Innovation for Growth and Renewal; even analysts (who are entry level at Innosight) are eligible to write.
For more than a year the firm has focused in particular on business model innovation (BMI) in publications and client engagements. BMI is certainly one of those buzz words that is slowly starting to annoy me. Why? All examples mentioned in this context are just a handful and always the same. Certainly, innovating a business model is as easy as grabbing an "Apple" from a tree.

I'm excited to introduce a new way for marketers and product managers to get answers to their most pressing issues and challenges. Forrester has launched an online community for technology marketers and product managers as the premier destination for leaders to exchange ideas, opinions, and real-world solutions with each other. Forrester analysts will also be part of the community, helping facilitate the discussions and sharing their views.
The community is open to all technology marketers and product managers.
Here's what you'll find:
I encourage you to become part of the community:


text: NATICK, Mass., Dec. 17, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- The first patient has been implanted with the Boston Scientific Corporation (NYSE: BSX) next generation INGEVITY™ pacing leads in a clinical trial designed to establish the safety, performance and effectiveness of the leads. Pacing leads are insulated wires that connect an implantable pacemaker to the heart for treatment of bradycardia, a condition in which the heart beats too slowly, depriving the body of sufficient oxygen. Pacemakers work in conjunction with leads to sense and stimulate (or pace) the heart, thus maintaining an appropriate heart rate for a given level of physical activity. The INGEVITY pacing lead platform is designed to provide key enhancements in maneuverability, reliability, fixation and electrical performance compared to standard leads available today. In addition, INGEVITY leads are specifically engineered to function in the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) environment. Many patients with pacemakers are restricted from undergoing MRI scans, as powerful magnets may interfere with pacemaker functionality. "Our research and development efforts focus on consistency, repeatability and industry-leading reliability," said Kenneth Stein, M.D., senior vice president and chief medical officer of the Cardiac Rhythm Management business at Boston Scientific. "We believe INGEVITY reflects all of these design principles, with the goal of improving the quality of patient care across the globe." The first patient implant occurred in October in Stockholm, Sweden by Dr. Fredrik Gadler, associate professor, head of Cardiology and director of Pacing and ICD at Karolinska University Hospital. "I was impressed with the performance of the INGEVITY lead during the implant procedure," said Dr. Gadler. "I felt very in control while maneuvering the lead, which allowed me to place the lead precisely where I intended." The INGEVITY trial is a prospective, non-randomized, multi-center, global clinical study designed to support U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), CE Mark and other regulatory approvals. The trial is expected to enroll approximately one thousand patients at 100 centers worldwide in 16 countries. The INGEVITY leads are expected to be paired with the Boston Scientific Ingenio™ family of pacemakers.

2002 wrx. I think i'm the 4th owner. A lot has been done to this car but not exactly sure what. Information has been lost as it has been passed along. Seems like a lot of upgrades were done and then it was return to stock besides the exhaust.
Just got the motor back in and we managed to get it to start. we managed to get it to idle but it's not very responsive when we give it some gas. we still have 2 sensors we have yet to figure out where they go to.
Went to check the ECU and we found this
It has been suggested that I should remove it, just hook up the ecu and get a cobb accessport.
any ideas on where I should begin to look at to get this car back on the road. What other information would you need in order to help me?

proper way to cut channel in a sheer wall.
There's a sheer wall between my den and bathroom. The plywood is on the den side. I'm running a new plug around the den to a perpendicular wall. What's the proper way to cut a channel in the sheer wall to run the wire?
You mean you want to install a duplex outlet? What is a sheer wall?
Well the proper way is to not cut into the shear panel at all.
Find another way to run the electrical.
Sorry You must have meant Shear Wall. Why would you have a Shear wall there? Why cut a channel? You could cut a hole for the outlet, but if it truly is a shear wall yo dont want to cut channels, IMHO.
Do you have access above or below to run this wire up or down and over?
Notch the wall and it's no longer a shear wall, and wires may be to close to the surface.
It's a condo. No way to run wires any other way. I want to cut a strip of plywood the length of the wall, run the wire through the studs, and then refasten the plywood strip. Would this not maintain the rigidity of the shear wall?
Yes, it would not maintain the integrity of the shear panel.
you possibly remove the entire panel noting the size and spacing of fasteners as well as thickness of sheathing. Run your electrical then replace with new equal panel and fasteners. of course the way it was constructed may not allow this.
you could bring in a professional engineer and have them design a replacement for your situation.
Good luck!
It would be OK to cut a small hole for a socket.
You can at most cut a 4"x4" hole in that wall. If you cut a strip, you loose effect of that wall.
It helps to have your location in your profile. I'm guessing that your in California...
One option...cut the wall at least 24" up....pull out the entire lower section....do what you need to do...but before you put back the panel, you will have to install blocking between the studs centered on the cut. If the Shear (braced) wall is more than an A, then you will need 3x blocking (It's just easier to use 4x4's). When you put back the section, use the proper edge nailing.
I know it sounds drastic....but it's actually pretty easy to do once you make the leap....and one advantage of pulling off a large section....plenty of room to work.
I find that it's actually easier to make a big hole vs small hole....and I think it's easier to patch a big hole vs small.
Ok I don't have time to do all of that. I'm going to cut out a strip from the bathroom side. Before I start, is there any way that both sides of the framing are sheathed? This is an interior wall within one suite. I'm in Vancouver, Canada, and the building was built in 1999.
there is that possibility, however typically only one side is sheathed. If they needed more shear resistance and they were limited to this wall that could have gotten an increase in resistance by sheathing both sides of the wall.
If it's a shear wall, it could be that both sides are sheathed.
I hear ya dawg, should see some of the ones I've done on the ocean in Massachusetts

No breathing just eating
This hot sexy Blonde newcomer is skyler. Ultra hot with a nice sweaty smelly ass. She told us when she got to the shoot that she hadn't showered in 2 days because of some problem at her place and asked if she could shower here at the studio before we started. I told her lets shoot an ass scene first. Her reply was "Oh no I cant do that I REALLY need to shower then" Evidentely she was worried about the ass slave we had on hand getting a whiff and taste he wouldn't be able to handle. I assured her he would like it. She protested and said "Oh no I havent showered in 2 days! The poor guy won't be able to breathe!" I informed her thats the idea :) True story. Hot clip!Price: $1.85

Leviton 5280 Surge protector receptacle
I just purchased a sharp 60" led and wanted to make sure I had it plugged into a surge protector. I currently have one outlet recessed in the wall near the tv but it's just a regular receptacle.
This leviton is only rated at 720 joules, doesn't seem like it would be good enough for an lcd tv. Would this be ok or should I look for something else? I don't have any room for a big surge protector, wanted something flush with the wall or very small. Would really prefer a receptacle like this as opposed to a cube surge or something.
I looked at the Panamax MIW-SURGE but that's going to be too big.
Any ideas?
Yes it is okay. If you own, you could also install a whole house surge. Personally, the panamax is overkill.

Reds take OF in first round
The Reds picked Samford University center fielder Phillip Ervin with the 27th overall pick in the first round of Thursday night's Major League Baseball Draft.
The 20-year-old native of Alabama hit .337 with a .459 on-base percentage and .597 slugging percentage for the Bulldogs, with 11 home runs and 21 stolen bases. Baseball America ranked him as the third-best center fielder in the draft, calling him "one of the sureest bets among college outfielders in the draft class."
Ervin hits and throws right-handed and is 5-foot-10, 205 pounds.
"I love the makeup of this guy, he's a winning baseball player," said John Hart on the MLB Network telecast. Hart was formally the Indians general manager.
Ervin is the first position player the Reds have picked with their first overall pick since taking Yasmani Grandal in the first round of the 2010 draft. He's the first outfielder the team's taken with its first pick since Drew Stubbs in 2006.
Ervin won MVP honors at the Cape Cod League last summer. In the wooden bat league, Erwin played for the Harwich Mariners and hit .323 with 11 home runs and 31 RBI. He also had 10 stolen bases in 12 attempts

Terrence Jones has had quite a week -- and it's only Tuesday.
Over the weekend, the Kentucky star autographed a pregnant woman's belly. Monday, he delivered flowers to the cheerleader he ran over during Kentucky's Final Four game against Louisville.
You remember when he went flying into a cheerleader while diving for a loose ball, right? And that the Louisville cheerleader needed stitches, but returned to cheer on the Cardinals in the second half?
After the game, Jones said, "Tell her I'm sorry. I'll drive down there and tell her myself with some flowers or something."
He did just that.
Monday night, Jones showed up at Louisville's Cheer and Dance, flowers in hand for cheerleader Jerica Logue.
"For her to get stitches during the game and it being my fault, I told her I would do it," Jones told Louisville TV station WHAS. "I just had to keep to my word."
Logue didn't expect him to follow through.
"I was surprised," she said. "I think it's really nice of him. I know he said he was going to do it, but I didn't actually think he would."
First-place votes in parentheses.

A search facility has been added, but the menu system is still sluggish and unresponsive, meaning browsing can be an extremely frustrating experience. And, there's no simple way of queuing up tracks as you're listening. You have to go through the long-winded process of creating a playlist and adding a track to it before you can start to queue up tracks – the feature isn't available while streaming music using UPnP either. It's a pretty basic feature that surely wouldn't have cost Philips much in software development time to implement properly.
And while we're talking about the negatives, it's also worth highlighting the file format support, which is limited. You'll be able to play WMA and MP3 files (including VBR MP3s) – we'd be surprised if you couldn't – but there's no support for DRM protected WMA files, WMA Pro, Apple music files (AAC), OGG Vorbis or any of the lossless audio codecs that have been gaining in popularity in recent years, as the price of storage has fallen.
Whether or not the Philips WACS7000 can be considered a successful upgrade, or even worth buying at all, really depends on your needs. On the one hand it looks dated next to systems such as the Squeezebox 3 and Sonos wireless music systems. File format support is thin and the firmware is frustratingly basic and slow.
On the other hand, it offers quite a lot for your money. Although £528 may sound expensive, it does get you two wireless music streaming players with speakers and amplifiers thrown in, plus the facility for ripping CDs in your living room without having to cart your CDs to the PC every time you want to listen to something new.
Compare this with a couple of Squeezebox 3s – which will cost around £400 and don't come with and amp or speakers built in, hard disk capacity or a ripping facility – and it's starting to look more reasonable.
The WACS7000 won't do for anyone wanting to add wireless music streaming to a current system. It's not a patch on the Squeezebox for ease of use, features or file support. But if what you're after is a one-box system for a couple of rooms such as the kitchen or conservatory, its simplicity and all-in-one nature makes it well worth a look.

Reid: Republicans are like the New York Jets, or something
posted at 11:58 am on December 6, 2012 by Ed Morrissey
Talk about taking the long road to a small payoff. Harry Reid gave a rambling and somewhat confused start to the Senate this morning, all just to annoy Jazz Shaw that his Jets are becoming an analogy for poor leadership, or something:
I've been thinking how best to describe what's going on here on Capitol Hill in the last couple of weeks. Every morning I get up, the first thing I read is the sports page. I'm disappointed in the sports page in 'The Washington Post,' it's not nearly as good as it used to be. And the 'New York Times' is not good either. But I read them. There's always some good news on the sports page. Then I go to the front page and get some of the bad news.
Maybe he looks for cowboy poetry, too.
But I follow sports no matter what it is: basketball, football, baseball — whatever it is. And I've watched very closely — it's not one of my favorite teams, but it's really fun to watch — and that's the New York Jets.
The New York Jets, yes. New York Jets. Coach Ryan, he's got a problem. He has three quarterbacks: Sanchez, he's got Tim Tebow, he's got a guy named McElroy. He can't decide who their quarterback is going to be. That's the same problem the Republicans have. Who is the quarterback, Mr. President? Who is the quarterback?
Wouldn't the proper analogy in this case be to Ryan and not the QB? Ryan's the one making the decisions and putting the strategy in place. Sanchez is just the guy who gets it done … or doesn't, actually.
I think Harry Reid needs to start producing budgets rather than reading the sports pages, and then maybe he'd be able to read some good news in the news sections for once.

It only remained for us to unharness our horse, whom we found on the ground beside the cabriolet.
unharness the Sawhorse, somebody; my fingers are too clumsy.
You can unhitch and unharness just beyond; but I want that safe unloaded and put in here.
"You can unharness the horse; I shall be here two hours," she said to the waiting Brown.
I'm going to take you down now, before I unharness the pony, so go and wash your face while I put up your things.
They descended from the trap and the stable-men began to unharness the cob.
Much to my astonishment, he obeyed the summons with alacrity, and proceeded to unharness the mare with the greatest despatch.
Philip began to unharness the horse as he spoke, and did not look up.
O Maruts, you have rejoiced in it clearly, put down then all anger and unharness your horses!
The Corporal laughed again, as he began to unharness himself.

Love Like Stone - Poem by Brenda Arroyo
Love never came to me that night,
As I sat there, starring at the statue of Eros,
Waiting for a spark.
Evening shone out through romantic clouds,
My heart beats signed for the stars to come out.
But nothing came to me instead.
Embracing me with its somber emotion,
Filling me with what I already was.
And in my act of sorrow, I got up to leave.
I headed east, toward where I came from.
But before I was out of his sight,
I turned back to look at him once more...
And never will I forget the stone of his eyes.

Well done, Brenda; keep it up! very touching poem...The last lines are the most poignant ones... I turned back to look at him once more...
And never will I forget the stone of his eyes. But I am curious to know...did his eyes turn to stone because you were leaving or because they were devoid of feeling just as before? (Report) Reply

I love your work.
This poem stretches far beyond the meaning of the word beautiful,
it's pure brilliancy.
I can relate to this in every posible way,
and as such it saddens me;
Because a writer can't write a masterpiece without fully understanding the feeling provided.
It's hard to believe that you're 17 when you seem to have the intellect of someone atleast twice your age.
Never stop writing Brenna,
thoe I wish that you'll never create a poem as this again.
