Dmedia (and therefor Novacut) are affected by the Heartbleed bug in the OpenSSL library. This bug is very serious as it allows an attacker to capture the private keys Dmedia uses, which then allows an attacker to steal both your Dmedia library metadata and the files it contains.
Please see USN-2165-1 for details about the OpenSSL fix in Ubuntu.
What you need to do
To correct this problem, first make sure your packages are up-to-date:
sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
Then you'll need to force Dmedia to generate new user and machine certificates:
rm ~/.local/share/dmedia/user-1.json rm ~/.local/share/dmedia/machine-1.json restart dmedia
You should do this on all your computers running Dmedia before peering them again.
The next time you open Dmedia or Novacut, you'll see this screen:
On your first computer, click New Account. On any additional computers, click Connect to Devices and then accept the peering offer on the first computer.
More details
It's easy for an attacker on the local network to use the Heartbleed bug to attack Dmedia on systems running a vulnerable version of OpenSSL. This includes when you're using, for example, a public WiFi network at a coffee shop. This is true even when you only have a single Dmedia device on a given network.
In practice it's probably very difficult for a remote attacker to exploit Heartbleed in Dmedia from across the Internet. Most home routers use NAT to prevent direct access to your computers from across Internet. Also, each time Dmedia starts, it runs on a different, random port. Dmedia uses Avahi to advertise this random port to other Dmedia devices on the local network. Dmedia does not advertise this random port to any outside servers. That said, remote attacks could sill be possible if, for example, your router was compromised.
As Dmedia is not yet widely used, it's probably not yet a common attack target. However, to play it safe, please follow the above procedure to generate new Dmedia SSL certificates.

I'll give that a two thumbs up!!!
A Marines Wife Confesses
This came from a Marine's wife. It says it all:
I sat, as did millions of other Americans, and watched as the government
Under went a peaceful transition of power over a year ago..
At first, I felt a swell of pride and patriotism while
Barack Obama took his Oath of office .
However, all that pride quickly vanished as I later watched 21Marines,
In full dress uniform with rifles,
Fire a 21-gun salute to the President.
It was then that I realized how far America 's military had deteriorated.
Every damn one of them missed the bastard.
I'll give that a two thumbs up!!!

A flash flood watch remains in effect for Northeast Georgia through 6 a.m. Sunday morning.
The National Weather Service says periods of locally heavy rainfall are possible overnight. Soils remain saturated, so flooding is possible near waterways and in low-lying areas.
Strong thunderstorms have the potential to produce high winds, frequent lightning and small hail.
The chance of storms continues Sunday, 60 percent, with the chance diminishing into the evening and on into Monday, which should see more sun.
A quarter-inch of rain has been recorded Saturday at the NWS recording station at Lee Gilmer Memorial Airport in Gainesville.

Venezuelan Supreme Court Approves the Postponing of Hugo Chavez's Inauguration
Player utilities
This story is based on a radio interview. Listen to the full interview.
Skip to content
This story is based on a radio interview. Listen to the full interview.
Marco Werman: I'm Marco Werman and this is The World, a co-production of the BBC World Service, PRI, and WGBH-Boston. It's okay to postpone the swearing-in of Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez for a new term. That's what the head of Venezuela's Supreme Court said today. The swearing-in had been scheduled, as per the country's constitution, for tomorrow. But Venezuela's congress voted to postpone it indefinitely as Chavez continues to be too sick to travel from Cuba, where he underwent emergency cancer surgery last month. The BBC's Sarah Grainger is in Caracas. So it sounds like Chavez can take as much time as he wants now. What happens next?
Sarah Grainger: Well, the Supreme Court in its ruling said that a date would be fixed for the inauguration once the issue of Mr. Chavez's health had been resolved. And as you've said, the National Assembly has given him essentially an infinite amount of time to recover from his latest surgery. So essentially now it's a waiting game to see when and if he does make it back from Cuba, and if he's able to take up his duties as president again.
Werman: So Sarah, does that leave Vice President Nicolas Maduro in charge also for an indefinite period of time?
Grainger: It does, the Supreme Court essentially leaving the status quo in place. So Nicolas Maduro as vice president is acting as president in Mr. Chavez's absence. Obviously other members of the ministers in the Socialist party having a large input. The leader of the National Assembly, Diosdado Cabello, also a key figure, but Mr. Maduro essentially, nominally running the country at the moment.
Werman: Wouldn't it be better for the ruling party to just conduct a quick election now, so the chosen one, Nicolas Maduro, anointed by Chavez, can get elected and continue the Chavez legacy?
Grainger: Well, we don't know all the details about President Chavez's ill health and his condition. One assumes that the fact that they're holding out to give him this opportunity to come back suggests that they think that might be a possibility. The other thing to remember is that Mr. Chavez is such a powerful figure, he's such a charismatic person, such an important figure for the socialist party, that they'll be very reluctant to admit or to accept that his period of serving as president over. So I think they're trying to keep things as they are and give him as much time as possible to see if he can come back and continue as president. Having said that, Mr. Chavez has been absent now for almost a month, and not just absent, he's been silent. We've heard nothing from him, we've seen nothing of him. And so, in other scenarios in other countries, perhaps, that might be time enough, given that he's suffering obviously some severe health problems, to start thinking about a transition and to start thinking about at least an interim president rather than just having the vice president acting up.
Werman: Sarah, what have you heard on this from the opposition at this point?
Grainger: Well really, they've run out of options of things to do within Venezuela. The Supreme Court and the National Assembly are the two institutions that really had a say in this and it was obvious from fairly early on that they were going to side with the government. I mean, you know, the socialist party has a majority in the National Assembly so no surprise when they voted to give Mr. Chavez more time to recover and postpone the inauguration. The opposition has made moves already to contact the Organization of American States to appeal to them. I think obviously international relations, looking at other governments in the region perhaps for support for their cause is really the only option they have open at the moment. But the OAS doesn't have a very good relationship with Mr. Chavez's government and it's hard to see the government here changing its stance just because it comes under some pressure from governments who are sympathetic to the opposition's cause.
Werman: The BBC's Sarah Grainger in Caracas. Thank you.
Grainger: Thank you.

Here's a moment of fun-my four year old just poured out a whole bag of powdered sugar. All my kids played in it and are covered. Hilarious. No wonder Jesus loves children :)

You're a moron. All this crap you you're talking about is sin.

The downfall of this country, started long ago. When they started paying men to entertain others by playing games of children. You idiot's probably play them wicked evil videogames.

Headliners? Nambla show? FBI with machine guns? Appears I'm behind on things or something.
I currently have direct TV and no net at home except for on my cell phone. I plan to switch back to Comcast and get net back today or tomorrow.
I agree with your points above. This gay marriage thing is a gateway for pedophiles to say they were born that way thus they deserve equal rights, too.
I am shocked that so many so-called straight people and some professing Christians are for the gay agenda. I am currently butting heads with some of my friends on this issue.
Most people in their 20's and 30's seem to have a "don't care attitude" about this, saying its doesn't matter to them if gays marry or not. One friend last night on my Facebook said she didn't care what any Christan believed that everybody deserved equal rights and this woman is straight. Things have come a long ways in the past 20 years- morals mean nothing- neither does the Bible to those who support gay marriage.
#26 Mar 28, 2013
This deserves a long answer, I will try to make it short. We now live in a nanny state where the government owns our children and grandchildren-their minds and hearts.
The bible is now considered by many to be inferior to science and is often regulated down to an ancient, contrived fairy tale.
Hollywood and the rich and famous are our kids idols.
Nearly every family now has a member who is gay and mothers and fathers still love them and now accept their lifestyles as normal. They are not considered to have the power of choice anymore, they must be born that way.
The internet!
It has been a progression of many things, this only scratches the surface of what happens when a nation turns from God and loses it's moral compass.

I agree, I think many factors have made pathways to where we now are with this whole gay rights/marriage things. Being a divorced man, its hard to admit this, but even divorce has played a role in this. I divorced on "scriptural grounds" however, one can break a marriage nowadays for any reason thus this even contributed to where we are with gay marriage.
#28 Mar 28, 2013
I know of a Christian who told me he was sick of the whole argument. That is the point-overwhelm us with it, get us tired, then they roll over.
Glenn Beck is a mormon who champions religious liberty and getting back to God, but when it comes to gay marriage says "I'm a libertarian. It doesnt affect me who somebody else marries. I don't care." Way to stand up GB.
Here is the sad thing-Satan is using our freedom against us. I had a feeling when this all heated up that constitutionally, the US would probably have to legalize gay marriage because of the promise of life, liberty, pursuit of happiness, rights, etc. Satan is a very crafty devil.
#29 Mar 28, 2013
Yes it looks bad, however no government by man can ever rule perfectly. Jesus will set all things right when he returns...
#31 Apr 23, 2013
You beat down the rights of some while many other sinners go unchecked. This is not what America was founded on.
#32 Apr 23, 2013
If you are speaking of gay marriage, I have a different view. All people have the right to marry in this country. They have the right to marry another person of the opposite sex who isn't too closely related to them. There is no prohibition against that right. The gay marriage battle is about giving a group of citizens special rights that others wouldn't have. It is also about changing the definition of what marriage has been since God created it. No one is telling homosexuals that they cannot engage in homosexual activity today either.
Sin is not going unchecked. Unfortunately, some do demonize homosexuality more than others, but sin is sin no matter what it is. But here's something to remember. At least Christians love homosexuals enough to tell them about the danger of engaging in such behavior. We could let them go into eternal destruction without giving any warning. Isn't that morally responsible?
#33 Apr 25, 2013
Christians are losing the fight bc they preach tolerance, love thy neighbor, etc., but then are the FIRST to cast stones. It's hypocritical and you lose credibility. Case in point:
WingsofWisdom calling ppl morons, etc. is not exactly practicing what you preach. Read your bible and see that is also a sin. So we then put gays and Christians like WingsofWisdom in the same "evil" class. Only these Christians are a lot more annoying bc they're so busy worrying about what everyone else is doing! You're not going to convince a gay/lesbian to change, just like they aren't going to convince you of their beliefs. Christianity will continue to decline until you ppl wake up!!
#34 Apr 26, 2013
I agree with your principle here Ants. Hypocritical people do harm the cause. That's always been the case and will always be so.
However you say that "You're not going to convince a gay/lesbian to change". Couple of points-first of all, the apostle Paul did just that in Corinth, and some have done so even today. Second, we haven't been commanded by Jesus to convince everyone-we've been commanded by Jesus to tell everyone. There's a difference. Jesus Himself didn't change the minds of many of the people of His day. Why should we today expect any different?
He who has ears to hear, let him hear!
#35 Apr 27, 2013
Where we are today started back in the 1500s. We have come to almost the final conclusion of what we started then.
Sola Scriptura. For all but the Catholic Church there is no Authority for the Christian religion. It is believing whatever you want to Bible to say to fit your on beliefs.
The volcano started to erupt in the 50's when all of the denominations but the CC said that the birth control pill was okay. Before then, contraception was evil and against Jesus' teaching.
The Pope at the time surprised the world when he cam out against artificial birth control why predicting what has actually happened today. The rise of abortion , unwed mothers, and divorce which the pill was suppose to prevent.
Then except for Catholics in other countries, Christians have stopped having Children. The affects of this have been far reaching. Muslims are taking over Europe by adhering to God's command to be fruitful and multiply.
We as Americans teach multiple children is a sign of ignorance, not being good stewards of the earth's resources, and that it might keep you from getting a big house and nice cars because you have more than 2 children.
We are reaping what we sow..Sola Scriptura is a man made and a un-biblical doctrine
#36 Apr 27, 2013
Even though you are obnoxious, I agree with you about the idea of birth control although I do not believe it is a sin. However it has had an effect on our changing population statistics. Christians are no longer having large families-reproducing christians, but third world countries and Muslims in particular are growing fast. It is for sure that the muslims will not reproduce christians. The salt of the earth is losing it's saltiness.
It certainly does not help that you are being so divisive.
#37 Apr 27, 2013
It didn't take a prophet, pope, or rocket scientist to figure out what would happen with womens lib, the pill, abortion, etc. This was a planned event from secular progressives and it has worked according to their desires. Blaming all of Christianity except for catholicism is shortsighted at best, dishonest at worst. Sola scriptura and protestantism is not the cause. Satan, sin, and ungodliness are the culprits. Get those facts right.

Not allowing gay marriage is sexual discrimination. It is constitutionally unlawful. End this ban now.

Re: Do you miss having an elite defense?
I miss not having an elite run defense anymore. It has been frustrating to watch. I hope we can fortify that over the offseason.

Re: Do you miss having an elite defense?
Just some random thoughts/comments--
> I agree, I'd rather have Betty than a "pretty" D.
> IMHO, there's a difference between a "stout" or "elite" defense [and insert ad here for "Please define 'elite'!] and what the Ravens defense did in the 2000-2001 season and post-season. I've watched football on my radio until they invented TV, and then on my 100' HDTV for over 60 years now, and the performance of that defense was nothing short of unbelievable! I told folks back then that if the season had gone another 20 weeks, the Ravens would have continued to win every week regardless of who they played. I don't think we'll get to see such a performance again.
> Consider that the CAP allows teams to make choices - where do I want to spend $$$, and how? There is a school of thought that says that you can have a good overall team, but you spend on one side of the ball or the other, and pragmatically you cannot spend on both. I sorta kinda tend to agree with that. Thus, elevating the Ravens offense to a more fromidable entity was basically done at the expense of the defense. If you agree with this, the question really becomes - which one do you want, cuz ya can't have both.
> I'm recalling discussions and threads from post SB XXXV. There was a definite recognition that the offense needed an upgrade - Dilfer was a game manager, not a team/offense leader or "team on my back" carrier"; the receivers were having issues catching a cold, much less the ball; the offensive line needed a new rusty gate at RT, Edwin's knees were deteriorating, Mitchell was going to jump ship at center, and so forth;
but the defense would carry us to multiple Super Bowls -- EXCEPT that Sharper would get swiped by the new Houston team, and Starks would leave for Ariz, and McCrary and Burnett were walking wounded, and Herring left, and...
we ended up with a "better" offense, and a "not as good" defense, and a 2 and done playoff result.
Consider that Jamal gets hurt, Searcy tears a tricep, Grbac is a pussy, etc. I guess the reason I mention all of this is to say that, where could Ozzie have made changes with the CAP limits to enhance both sides of the ball and get a better result? I honestly don't know

Re: Do you miss having an elite defense?
To answer the question about the drop off in run defense, the two main problems is Kemo and Cody, they aren't good players, you need a good NT to help out in run defense, it all starts on him. If you forget about the first cople of weeks of the regular season, the edge run defending was pretty good all year. Most the runs against us were up the middle. That is why we need an upgrade at NT.
The pass rush was actually pretty good towards the end of the year, but we were without a healthy elite pass rusher all year. The pass defense is pretty damn good, but because of the lack of pass rush, the pass defense got exposed a little. It all starts with the run though, and has a domino effect if you cant stop it.

Cedars and the westward sun.
The darkening sky. A man alone
Watches beside the fallen wall
The evening multitudes of sin
Crowd in upon us all.
For when the light fails they begin
Nocturnal sabotage among
The outcast and the loose of tongue,
The lax in walk, the murderers:
Our twilight universal curse.
Children are faultless in the wood,
Untouched. If they are later made
Scandal and index to their time,
It is that twilight brings for bread
The faculty of crime.
Only the idiot and the dead
Stand by, while who were young before
Wage insolent and guilty war
By night within that ancient house,
Immense, black, damned, anonymous.

MUST SEE: George Will on The Chairman's Record of Persuasion
No introduction needed. Simply enjoy one of the most intelligent people in the world telling it like it is.
The Problem With Anarchists Is That They Are Un-Organized
In case you missed it (and you probably did) the anarchists, Marxists, and other "comrades" put on their "Days of Rage: Wall Street Edition" protest over the weekend. Proving that these unkempt masses know little about what they are "fighting" for, the bohemian wannabes violated a few of their own principles. Fortunately, they were also very funny. In addition to the poster advertising the event urging people to bring their tents that they probably bought at Wal Mart, there's a couple of other things that immediately came to mind...
1) Calls for unity and organization
This one is great. In all of their attempts to disrupt Wall Street (on a Saturday, when Wall Street bankers are out in their yachts) the anarchists apparently had a problem organizing their minions. The problem is obvious. Anarchists are anarchists. They don't mobilize, organize, or act in concert with leaders. Yet this little toad seemed to forget that core prinicple.
2) Using capitalism to bring you an anti-capitalist message
Thankfully, the anarchists and anti-capitalists, apparently are able to hold down jobs. How do I know this? Well, the Marxist goons were somehow able to use smart phones, computers, and transportation (also known as cars) to live stream their events and speeches. But, it didn't stop there. They then used the evil corporations Twitter and Facebook to spread their message as well. When the anti-capitalists got thirsty, they were able to set aside their quest for a money-less, corporation-less society and partake in a cool drink of Dasani water. When they needed a stage to address a large crowd, as the little toad above did, they were somehow able to use blow horns brought to you by some evil corporation that had the foresight in their business plan to address the supply and demand ratios of blowhorns to blowhards and make a product that future anarchists that want them to fail could use. Brilliant!
I could go on and on here. But, I won't. Overall, the event, much like The Chairman, has been a failure. Or, as Michelle Malkin pointed out:
What do they want? They're not really sure. When do they want it? For a couple of months, or until the weather gets too cold, anyway. A bunch of adrift Alinskyites and disorganized organizers from a group called "Adbusters" are converging in New York City for some reason or other. They're bringing tents, sleeping bags, yoga instructors, face paint — and at some point, they'll get around to deciding what their "one demand" is.
Oh well, that's the problem with anarchists...they are just too damn unorganized.

Second, we are getting close to the end of Ramadan as well the end of our tale for this year, the tale of Princess Sea Pearl.
Now, we stopped at the Twenty-third Night in the previous post. Sadly enough I could not find Episode twenty-four anywhere online even at the Egyptian State Radio's archives.
Nevertheless, based on the previous episodes and the upcoming episodes I can tell you that it is about that second meeting between Princess Sea Pearl and Hamal Al-Asya where they will fall in the love.
I can tell you also that in Episode 396 of the Radio Arabian nights show that Princess Sea Pearl marries Hamal Al-Asya and as she becomes a human, she loses her memory.
Third, here are our episodes for tonight.

DES MOINES, Iowa - Senior Nicol Traynor capped off her illustrious collegiate career on Wednesday in the Semifinal Round of the 3,000 Meter Steeplechase at the NCAA Outdoor Track & Field Championship in Des Moines, Iowa.
Coming off an ankle injury suffered in May's NCAA Preliminary Round, Traynor (Basking Ridge, N.J./Ridge) clocked a time of 10:36.16 to finish 11th in her heat and 21st overall.
After earning Second Team All-America honors with her 11th-place showing in the 3k Steeple a year ago, she now concludes her career having qualified for two consecutive National Semifinals and having made three overall NCAA Championship appearances in her four outdoor seasons as a Spider.

My friend Lungi is having umemebeso at the end of this month and two weeks ago I realised that I had nothing to wear and I say that because other than the dress I had made for my ngqibamasondo I do not own any traditional wear items. So I decided that this would be the perfect opportunity to buy something from Loin Cloth and Ashes. So I googled LCA and discovered they had a website and were on Facebook, so I went to their Facebook page and checked in their photos for items that I would like and I was sold. I called Anisa the next day, her number is on the Facebook page and told her I was coming to her studios on Wednesday (last week Wednesday actually). Her studio is based in Arts on Main and she also told me that they will be opening a store downstairs quite soon.
When I got there, there were clothes everywhere and she said I could have a browse and choose whatever I want to fit on. I found 5 items that I liked and started with the fittings, it eventually came down to two dresses, one was a boob tube A-line dress and the other was a cute baby doll also A-line. As I was fitting them on Anisa gave me tips on how I could style the dresses, like what colours for shoes and accessories would work with the prints and I was really impressed by her feedback, she's so awesome! Seeing as I couldn't choose, I ended up taking both dresses and her prices are really reasonable, each dress was R800 (when my husband reads this blog post he will freak out because he didn't want to know how much they cost!). I can't take pics of the dresses for the blog because I am still going to wear them, I just posted the one above to show you the print. Below are also some pictures of Anisa's other work, I told her that I will be back soon for skirts 🙂

Delivering The Social Business Imperative
Posted by Rob Koplowitz on April 3, 2012

Forrester fields hundreds of client inquiries each year on the topic of social business and collaboration. And the trend doesn't appear to be slowing. Often the first question is, "How far behind are we?" Well here's the data. You judge for yourself. According to Forrester survey data from 1,332 executives and IT decision-makers:
- 49% will have investments in social networking solutions in 2012.
At the most basic level, just over half are still on the sidelines. And of the 49% only 19% describe their investment as "implemented, not expanding." So, the early adopters are already active and have been for a while. The laggards are lagging (it's kind of what they do). And the rest represent those asking, "How far behind are we?"
The answer could well be "very far behind." While investment in social media is not yet pervasive, the goals we hear from clients are remarkably consistent and in the enterprise they tend to revolve around four major goals:
- Breaking down geographic boundaries. There is a keen recognition that large global organizations do not capture information and identify expertise effectively. Finding content and experts in a large, geographically dispersed organization can be like finding the proverbial needle in the haystack. If I have a question in London and the best answer is from someone in Singapore, can I really expect that connection to be made?
- Breaking down organizational boundaries. Same dynamic as above, different barriers. If I'm in customer service and the information I need to help a customer is with a salesperson, can I make that connection?
- Flattening organizational hierarchy. Of those investing in social networking solutions, many are driven from the top down. C-level executives are often turning to IT with the mandate to make the enterprise "more social." Why are these executives looking to drive such profound change? Because they recognize that their businesses are far too complex to be run effectively without meaningful input from the people that are actually running the business every day.
- Driving collective action. The actions of many are more powerful than the actions of few. And organizations are acutely aware of this. In most of my client conversations, the topic of innovation is a top-level driver of enterprise social initiatives. Within innovation, the topic of new product development is top of mind. In other words, many organizations are looking to drive the lifeblood of success, the products they sell, collectively.
So, the stakes associated with social business and collaboration are high. The payoff could be competitive advantage in the market. And here's the kicker. It's really hard to do this right. And if you're the CIO, you don't have the resources in your organization to drive success. So when the CEO asks to figure out social business and collaboration you need to respond, "That's not my job, that's our job. As in all of our jobs."
Let's start with executive support. If the executive team is not ready to support the disruptions that come with running a social business, find another area to invest in. This stuff drives change. If that's not what your executives are looking for, you're wasting precious time and resources.
Make no mistake, successful implementation of social business and collaboration solutions requires standard IT diligence and the usual roles to apply it. Driving success from a technical perspective requires:
- Collaboration managers define the overall social business and collaboration portfolio.
- Solutions architects focus on driving discrete business value.
- Enterprise architects help define a sum of parts greater than the whole.
- Network analysts help address performance/latency issues.
- Security analysts pay attention to protecting assets and privacy.
- Human factors/UI designers make custom-developed applications usable.
However, traditional IT approaches to implementation will only get you part of the way to success with social business and collaboration. The rest of the journey requires participation from a number of existing non-IT roles and some that are only now emerging:
- Human resources (HR) professionals protect employee privacy.
- Legal looks after security, compliance, and intellectual capital.
- Librarians and records managers provide guidance to avoid content chaos.
- Community leaders put effort into managing the knowledge.
A key role that is often not funded and where skills are only now being defined is that of:
- Social business analysts define and measure business value. Emerging systems of engagement and their ever-increasing integration with systems of record offer businesses the opportunity to re-think knowledge worker-centric processes. Once again, an "if you build it, they will come" approach is unlikely to drive optimal results. Forward-thinking organizations have established a dedicated role to act as a liaison between IT and the business to educate the business on driving business value and to take technical requirements from the business back to IT to drive social business and collaboration strategy and investments. This critical role is just emerging and often requires organizations to add net new headcount.
In upcoming research and at our CIO Forum in Las Vegas on May 3rd and 4th, Forrester will delve into the topic of delivering on the social business imperative.
Corporate culture change
Comment from Troy McKim (not verified) on Thu, 06/07/2012 - 11:43
Great article..... An additional area of focus is corporate culture change. Both the individuals as well as the overall corporation must change in order the reap the business value of this disruptive change. Without the people (Change in Corporate culture) changing they way they work, interact with others, collaboration with others and store information, this becomes just another tool. My question is - How can you "sell" the business on this "value". What are some of the techniques others have used to demonstrate the business value and get the executive buy in?
We're getting there
Comment from Rob Koplowitz on Thu, 06/07/2012 - 11:55
Thanks Troy. We're actually seeing really good data emerging on the business value of social. I'm working on research right now with case studies where we've seen social tied to better sales, faster, better help desk support at lower costs, supply chain improvements, real down and dirty business value. The core value is in providing knowledge workers with faster access to better information and expertise and driving collective action. Most of the value we've been able to document lives in removing human latency from business processes and driving better results.
Here's the thing. You can measure it one or two times and you'll likely see very good results. In the end, you need to take that evidence and make a leap of faith that my organization will run better socially. BTW, your comment on culture is spot on. Before you change anything, you need to address the culture. One piece of advice, start with sales if you can. Sales people are always interested in things that help them sell more and if they can access better information and expertise to drive sales, they're in.
Interested in your findings
Comment from Troy McKim (not verified) on Mon, 07/09/2012 - 05:43
Thank you for your reply. I am interested in your research and findings. Will you be posting information on this or other blogs?
I'm also interested in the "how" other corporations have successfully implemented (extracting the business value from) these tools and processes. In many cases the typical build it and they will come does not work. Maybe part of that answer is in your reply - start with sales or other groups that are interested in adopting disruptive change for their area's.
Looking forward to addition insight into this. Thank you

|Patriots Look Poised For Another Super Bowl Run
|Bruins Trade For Drew Stafford
|Black and Gold Bruins Turn Yellow On Parade Day
|Inconsistency Will Continue For Bruins Unless A Change Is Made
As a Yankees fan, one of the biggest debates amongst most talking heads in New York has been whether or not Mr. Chamberlain's future should be in the bullpen or be in the rotation. And certainly, this is an issue that Boston Red Sox fans should be interested in what the end result is as how Joba is deployed will affect the Red Sox's future chances of winning the division. We will examine the arguments for both sides here, then try to come to a conclusion about which is more sensible. Ultimately, I hope this exercise will allow us to tune out the cliches when we hear them on television.
Arguments for Joba remaining a reliever
We've seen him as a reliever in the majors and he performs very well in that role. He can get his fastball up to the very high end of the 90s, and snap off a ridiculous slider along with a curveball when necessary. With Joba setting up Mariano Rivera, Yankees games are at most a seven-inning affair. And there's no need to worry about an innings limit: Joba's already pitched more innings than he is likely to ever reach as a reliever. Heck it'd be like Mariano setting up for John Wetteland. Plus, it's not like it's easy to find a reliever this good in free agency. Don't mess with the unknown, some say, it could ruin Joba's arm and lose that time of him being able to help the team as a reliever. In spring training he struggled with control and talked about holding back, as well. As a reliever, also, he can pitch in multiple games over five days, as opposed to one game as a starter.
Arguments for converting Joba to a starter
It is much harder to find an average starting pitcher than an average reliever. Heck, the struggles of Ian Kennedy and Phil Hughes (though the latter may have been from his broken rib not being discovered) can attest to that. Teams are more likely to hold onto those starters. And with Joba's stuff (his fastball, curveball, slider and developing changeup), he projects as being a well above average starter. He was a starter in college and all the way through Double A and dominated the whole way. While a starter can only pitch once in five days, he is more likely to pitch more innings over that period than over the same period as a reliever. And, hey, isn't the game shorter if you only need to figure out what to do between the 6th/7th and 9th?
The verdict
Well, Joba will definitely have to be stretched out over the next 2 years to be able to throw a full season, if starting is where he is to end up. Yes, the plan could end up not working out. But it's highly unlikely the organization would allow Joba to get hurt, given how they value him. If he fails at starting, moving him back to relieving will not be hard, given his move to reliever was made easily the first time (last year). Given the Yankees payroll, it's unlikely the team will ever carry a weak offense, and as such, there won't be a lot of innings for Joba to play set up man. Certainly not enough to make those innings more valuable than his innings as a starter. It's much easier to find a guy who can come close to what Joba offers as a reliever than it is to find one who can approximate what he offers as a starter. Spring Training was much too small of a sample to use as a judgment, plus that's when most pitchers build up their arm strength. I think it would be a criminal mistake to not try Joba in a role where he can be most valuable to the team.

The premise of Jonathan Williams's short film – a pair of escaped cons fleeing through the wilderness steal a canoe with its paddler onboard in a spin on carjacking – might strike some as groaningly Canadian. But it's actually very, very funny. At just seven minutes, the joke isn't long enough to grow tired, thankfully. And while the dialogue veers to the cheesy once or twice, it's mostly packed with chuckles, especially where the script mines the practice of nudist canoeing, dubbed "canoe-dism," for laughs.

The easiest homemade salsa you'll ever make!
Ever since I started the Mathew Blades Meal Plan Challenge for the next 60 days, I made it my mission to spice up the shopping list Mathew gave me. Literally.
So, I decided to make homemade salsa. All from scratch. And it is DELICIOUS!
So, before we start, I made sure ALL items have the Mathew Stamp of Approved.
10 Roma tomatoes
4 green tomatoes
4 DRIED Chile de Arbol (I buy these in the spice section and they come in a small package. The brand I use is "TAMPICO")
2 FRESH Habanero Peppers (I used the yellow ones)
2 FRESH large jalapenos
1 bundle of Cilantro
3 cloves of garlic
1 bundle of GREEN onions.
Household Blender
-Get a Large Pot, fill with water, start to boil
-Wash all produce
Put red and green tomatoes, Chile de Arbol, habanero peppers and Jalapenos all in pot.
Allow vegetables to boil to the point where you can stick your fork in it and it will slide through smoothly. (around 15 min depending on stove)
While veggies are boiling..
Peel 3 garlic cloves
Remove the leaves from cilantro (DO NOT USE branches)
Cut up the green onions. (the only portion of the onion you will use is the white and the little bit of green. Cut off the root and the very green part and DO NOT USE)
Set these three items aside. Back to Veggies.
When veggies are boiled, start with the smaller items.
Put all peppers in blender (remove stems). and use the pulse setting until it's nicely blended
Next add cilantro, garlic, onions and blend nicely.
Next add green tomatoes. (Make sure to take leaves off around edges)
repeat pulse instructions
Finally add the roma tomatoes and this is where you put it on the blend setting and blend to your liking. I like my salsa smooth so I can put it on top of food and not just for dipping but that is your choice.
FINAL STEP: Salt to liking. (There will be a lot of taste testing since you are salting to your liking but I am sure that won't be a problem ;)
Couple of Notes: This recipe makes ALOT of salsa! But better for sharing :)
ALSO, it is VERRRYYY SPICY!! So you can take out one habanero/jalapeno pepper to make it less spicy.
I hope you enjoy and please ask any questions you may have!

By now Snoop Dogg fans have grown accustomed to the hip hop star's transformation into Snoop Lion. The move from rapper to Rastafarian has drawn some harsh criticism and spawned confusion among some, but it has also produced some pretty good music.
The latest reggae-inspired single debuted on the Conan show last night [March 11]. This infectious tune is helping to erase any doubt that Snoop Lion is for real.
The song is titled "No Guns Allowed," and features Drake, who was not at the show to perform his part. The track is a mellow departure from Snoop's usual low-rider friendly street anthems.
It's a bold move for the "Murder Was the Case" rapper, who once hailed as one of the West Coast's king of Gangsta Rap.
The new and more peaceful Snoop Lion will be releasing his latest album, the aptly titled Reincarnated, on April 23. The accompanying documentary of the same name, which follows Snoop on his spiritual journey to Jamaica, will hit theaters nationwide this Friday, March 15.

A potpourri for 2010
This first blog after the noughties is purposely something of a miscellany, though while working up a link to the word potpourri, I did notice that the Wikipedia version contains the somewhat deadpan comment "Modern homes avoid having pots of moldly [sic] substances laying about, and potpourri is usually purchased in stores." This one is available online.
Our final news item of 2009 concerned the BBSRC-funded 'robot scientist' project, aimed at the automation of scientific reasoning (and experimentation), which made Time magazine's 'top ten scientific discoveries of 2009'.
Christmas reading included Malcolm Gladwell's well-known Outliers, a chief message of which is that hard work is the bedfellow of genius. I especially enjoyed an excellent book by Stephen Baker called The Numerati about the role of digital data in the modern world (sadly science lags far behind commerce and marketing in their exploitation), and the need for upskilling to make the most of the opportunities afforded. This somewhat complements a more science-focused book on exploiting data, The fourth paradigm, available free to download from Microsoft. In addition, I relaxed with an anthology of amusing cricketing anecdotes (and I am writing this as England completed an extraordinary fourth day in the Durban Test), and a book of trivia.
I also had a little time to surf the net, where one of the things that caught my eye was a site describing the Best Data Visualisations of 2009. I especially liked the TED talk on Photosynth, a technology for stitching together multiple 2D images of related objects (or different views of the same object) to allow them to be explored in rapid, seamless and visually very interesting ways. I can think of many uses for this in scientific visualisation. Another cute visualisation puts into context – much better than this verbal description – the 300-day period in which (presumably an estimated) 50,182,850 people are said to have died, but in which only 5,850 of them died of 'swine flu'. Cardiovascular disease (~20M) and cancer (6.4M) dwarfed these, with traffic accidents accounting for another 1.05M. Hopefully the next flu pandemic will be equally avirulent, but (especially if 'avian' flu) it may not be. Summarising large amounts of complex information visually is both an art and a science, and the more aesthetically appealing methods have been called Infosthetics; this link shows an excellent example, while a more light-hearted analysis (of the correlation between survival and shirt colour in episodes of Star Trek – thanks to Dave Bott for a tweet to this link) includes an excellent summarizing graphic. In a related vein of real-time visualisations, I noted when planning a necessary road trip – somewhat in the spirit of the recognition that the analysis of search engine records can provide data on disease epidemiology – the utility of mashups of twitter feeds in providing quasi-real-time data on UK snow conditions.
Digital organisms – in silico representations of biochemical and other networks and systems – are an important part of our future strategy, and I was interested to read a paper summarizing a genome-scale metabolic network model of the mouse (compare also an earlier version from another group), albeit unfortunately not yet in SBML. When it is, it will be of considerable interest to compare it with that of yeast.
Although I regret that I cannot attend personally I am delighted that BBSRC is co-sponsoring a session at the Oxford Farming Conference this week around the contribution of research. Food security is a major priority for BBSRC, within which translation to practice and provision of highly skilled people are particularly important. BBSRC Directors Janet Allen and Celia Caulcott will be at the Conference.
In my introduction to the Winter issue of our Business magazine (available shortly) I outline the pivotal role of bioscience and BBSRC in meeting the challenge of food security and other national strategic priorities, I look forward to BBSRC working with academic, industrial and other partners to optimise the impact of our science in the years ahead.
As I mentioned in the previous blog, this week will see me representing RCUK at the House of Commons Science and Technology Committee inquiry into Bioengineering. After that I shall be attending some of the proceedings of our Systems Biology grantholders' workshop in Edinburgh. And finally, I wish a happy, healthy and rewarding 2010 to all.

Legal Professional: Build Your Business
Hello, I need some help please. I had to move to Oregon when I got sick and lost my job. Now that I am transient, my husband files for child support and divorce in North Carolina.
We have been separated for 11 years and there is a Mediated Consent Order on file in NC. He has not let me see my children in over NINE years, kept ALL my personal property and there has been no separation of marital assets.
I need an attorney to represent me in court, because I have no way to travel to NC from Oregon. I called Legal Aid in North Carolina and they would not help me. I went to Legal Aid in Oregon whose attorney would not even talk to me. I have written the Bar in both states, but they were no help either. I even wrote the attorney generals of NC, OR and USA and contacted dozens of attorneys and firms, but no one will help.
I am a full time college student with no income. My children have grown up without their mother, and I without them. I'm trying to get visitation, modification of support, joint custody, return of property, equitable distribution, Parental Alienation of Affection, Criminal Conversation, divorce, attorneys fees, court costs, travel expenses, and alimony.
No one can give my daughters and I back all the years we have lost, but you could make a difference with a little compassion and help us now and for the future.
The Judge dismissed his divorce, but now he hired an attorney and filed again. I have no clue what to do or who to turn to for help. I have read the court procedures and rules and do not understand any of it. Now he and his attorney are lying to the Court that we are not even married and I have no way to fight him, that I be barred by laches when he has waited eleven years to even file. I have filed response and counterclaim by mail to the NC Court, I do not know what to do next after I received a Motion for dismissal of all my counterclaims. I even filed a greiveance against the attorney for lying to the judge with the NC State Bar.
Isn't there a single person in America that will help anyone anymore? How can a husband get away with taking away your children, keeping all your personal property that you ever owned your entire life and flat out lie to a Judge in the Court system? Doesn't anyone care about preventing something that could possibly happen to them too anymore? One day you may loose your job and not have any money, do you think anyone will help you either when you are not willing to help out another? Why is our court system just about who has money anymore?
Can you point me in the right direction or do you know anyone that can help me?
Marya D. Murr
You have been separated for 11 years? In all of those 11 years, did you work and save any money? How or who is paying for your schooling now?
In my humble opinion, if you've waited now 11 years, then I guess you could wait a bit longer, finish out whatever degree you can possibly get from the school you are going to. Next, get yourself a job, and work and save. Next, you hire a lawyer. After 11 years, I imagine the only thing of personal assets you might want would be pictures or something like that.
I don't mean to be too blunt about this, but you have to help yourself a little bit here.
Good luck
OR does not have jurisdiction, NC does. And you have waited WAY too long to do anything about not seeing your kids. You moved clear across the country so the fact you have not see them sounds like it is on you. Also if you have kids to support you really do not get the option of not working, even if you are a student. What have you been doing this whole time that you have no job or money? Legal aid is not going to help you.
Honestly, you should have moved back to NC A long time ago. Because you choose to live clear acorss the country, you have complicated this. If I were you, move back to NC..get a job and talk to an attorney.
"He has not let me see my children in over NINE years, kept ALL my personal property and there has been no separation of marital assets."
And what have you been doing for those 9 years to get them and your property back? The law requires you take action to preserve your rights or you risk losing them.
"I am a full time college student with no income. My children have grown up without their mother, and I without them. I'm trying to get visitation, modification of support, joint custody, return of property, equitable distribution, Parental Alienation of Affection, Criminal Conversation, divorce, attorneys fees, court costs, travel expenses, and alimony."
For startes, it sounds like you may have to leave college for a while and go back to work if you have any expectation of hiring an attorney and addressing any of these issues.
While you likely have a basis for visitation and maybe return of personal property (although after 9 years you are probably deemed to have abandonned it) you can forget about the rest. YOU moved away - that makes you responsible for any travel costs. Equitable distribution of what? In our system each side is responsible for their own attorneys fees and court costs with vert rare exceptions. Do you know what criminal conversation means? Because it has nothing to do with kids, visitation or property distribution.
Yes I worked. Rent is high, cost of living is high. I am an uneducated person who can only get low paying jobs. I lost my job because I got pheumonia and almost died. The medical bills are astronomical and far beyone my means. I was ill longer than FLMA allows and disabled for six months. I was having trouble finding another job in the rotten economy, I am not a young person (nearly a senoir myself), and because he had me arrested when I was trying to get visitation. Even though it was dismissed, it shows on my background check.
My parents are elderly so I came to Oregon to take care of them, because I could find no one to help me. Federal Financial Aid is helping me go to school and I am trying to help myself and others too here.
I was forced to leave my family, job, and friends behind when he got the order to move to NC from CA in 2000. I had nothing, he would not give me my things that the court ordered him to move. He has custody because he claimed I am mentally ill and I had no attorney then to fight him either ans was placed on supervised visitations. Well there was no service for supervised visitation in NC and no one would help me then either.
You misunderstand. HE waited eleven years to file because it suits him to not let me to see our children which he threatened me for seven years that if I ever left him he would make sure I never saw my girls again. I provided a cell phone so I could talk with them because he threatened having me arrested again if I called his house phone (which by the way the court orders say I can). But when I got sick I could longer afford it.
You are quick to judge this situation not knowing all the facts. I am trying to help myself, I have been filing everything myself but I don't understand what I am to do next because the court rules/procedures are not in plain English.
Yes, It is adultry. When you children tell you he is cheating on you because he is kissing another woman and they ask you if Miller Lite is Ginger Ale, it gives you a pretty clear indication the he is not following the courts orders of no overnight paramores and no drinking for 24 hours prior to being in thier presence.
I lived near them until recently. see other post.

My ex wife told me the very same thing. "You will NEVER see your daughters again"
I went to a lawyer, and we battled it out. I'm not saying it was easy, nor was it cheap. But I did what I had to do.
I realize you have your troubles, but you've had 11 years now. And you are saying HE waited to file? Why didn't YOU file? You DO have some say here when it comes to all of this! You act like this has all happened to you, and you were completely defenseless and could do nothing. If I took that attitude, I'd probably be in your same situation. You need to step up to the plate, and do something about your situation. That's MY advice for you!
First of all you aren't a transient. You live with your parents and are a full time student. There is a big difference.
When you didn't follow him and your girls and allowed this to drag on for 11 years really hurt your case. No one here is able to help you. It's not that no one wants to ... it's just that your situation is pretty messed up and what your expecting is beyond reasonable. I'm not clear why a judge would dismiss a divorce. There's something missing to your story.
Your post is all over the place. How can you be nearly a senior and have minor kids? Slight exaggeration there. You are not going to get alimony most likely since you have been seperated so long. NC has jurisdiction so since you refuse to go back there or even take the advice given to you, I am not sure what else you can do. You are not a transient. You will get no where having no income. Ask your parents for help financially if you need to and hire a NC attorney. Stop listening to him and take all your court paperwork to a NC attorney. There is no way anyone in OR can help you.
I am 54 years old. I had my kids near age 40, they are 17 (almost 18) and 15.
I did follow him to NC with absolutely nothing. I was there until recently living close to them.
Because every time I go to court something bad happens.
I am trying to do something. That is why I asked for help which is not an easy thing for me to do.
I do not know why the judge dismissed his first filing after I filed my response and counterclaim. All I received was a paper saying the it was dismissed. The next thing I got was a new filing from an attorney.

Petition: Stop the Spray!
10's of Thousands of California residents are being sprayed with potentially harmful and partially undisclosed chemicals. Our voices must be heard loud and clear: CALIFORNIA, STOP THE SPRAY!
Citizens of California
Help Us
10's of Thousands of California residents are being sprayed with potentially harmful and partially undisclosed chemicals. Our voices must be heard loud and clear: CALIFORNIA, STOP THE SPRAY!
Don't let our State walk over your rights.
Take action!
Stand up and be heard!
Spread the word!
Put a stop to spray without consent!
Do you have comments about the petition? Click here.
Background: This effort was prompted when California Agricultural Secretary A.G. Kawamura began aerial spraying of pheromones and other undisclosed and potentially harmful chemical constituents over populated urban areas of Monterey County to combat the Light-brown Apple Moth (LBAM) against tremendous public outcry. Since, the Department of Agriculture is making plans to continue aerial spraying and expand spraying not only in Monterey County including Seaside, Marina, Pacific Grove, and Pebble Beach, but into neighboring counties like Santa Cruz. Our representatives including Assemblymember Laird and Monterey Mayor Chuck Della Sala seem to be powerless to stop it. The author of the petition believes that every individual has the right to choose not to be sprayed without consent unless there is a clear and present public health danger. Many are now reporting health problems since the start of the spray program. The citizens of California need to stand together with one voice that tells our politicians we will not stand for this. NO ONE has the right to spray us with ANYTHING without our consent. Let's take back control of the air we breathe!

Held at Drai's nightclub, "Valentine's Day" actress Jennifer Garner tended to hosting duties as she turned up in a theme-appropriate pink frock.
Continuing the fabulous lineup for the Mercedes-Benz 2011 New York Fashion Week, Rebecca Taylor held her runway show earlier today (September 12).
Among the ladies in attendance was Shenae Grimes, who looked lovely in an animal print jacket with a cream colored top and black shiny trousers.
Celebrities and fancy fetes go hand-in-hand, and last night (August 29) some of Hollywood's brightest stars were at the HBO Primetime Emmy Awards After party.
Newlyweds Anna Paquin and Stephen Moyer arrived at the Pacific Design Center looking very loved up as they posed for the paparazzi.

"[Alana] is like Shirley Temple," Rosie said. "She has a presence and an intellect that goes way beyond her years."
