Generation Facebook (Gen F): What Floats Their/Your Boat?
Gary Hamel writing in his WSJ blog had a great posting comparing most readers of this blog expectations in the work place with currently entrenched "managers." He suggests you have "Internet-derived expectations and will impact, change, and rail against current management practices accordingly. The yellow-pad dudes at Krannert AND managers at the Big Three Auto manufactures have no clue to what is descending upon them. So let's take a look at Gary's insights into what makes you run:
(Below direct quote from Gary's blog. You can read more about Gary here
1. All ideas compete on an equal footing.
On the Web, every idea has the chance to gain a following—or not, and no one has the power to kill off a subversive idea or squelch an embarrassing debate. Ideas gain traction based on their perceived merits, rather than on the political power of their sponsors.
2. Contribution counts for more than credentials.
When you post a video to YouTube, no one asks you if you went to film school. When you write a blog, no one cares whether you have a journalism degree. Position, title, and academic degrees—none of the usual status differentiators carry much weight online. On the Web, what counts is not your resume, but what you can contribute.
3. Hierarchies are natural, not prescribed.
In any Web forum there are some individuals who command more respect and attention than others—and have more influence as a consequence. Critically, though, these individuals haven't been appointed by some superior authority. Instead, their clout reflects the freely given approbation of their peers. On the Web, authority trickles up, not down.
4. Leaders serve rather than preside.
On the Web, every leader is a servant leader; no one has the power to command or sanction. Credible arguments, demonstrated expertise and selfless behavior are the only levers for getting things done through other people. Forget this online, and your followers will soon abandon you.
5. Tasks are chosen, not assigned.
The Web is an opt-in economy. Whether contributing to a blog, working on an open source project, or sharing advice in a forum, people choose to work on the things that interest them. Everyone is an independent contractor, and everyone scratches their own itch.
6. Groups are self-defining and -organizing.
On the Web, you get to choose your compatriots. In any online community, you have the freedom to link up with some individuals and ignore the rest, to share deeply with some folks and not at all with others. Just as no one can assign you a boring task, no can force you to work with dim-witted colleagues.
7. Resources get attracted, not allocated.
In large organizations, resources get allocated top-down, in a politicized, Soviet-style budget wrangle. On the Web, human effort flows towards ideas and projects that are attractive (and fun), and away from those that aren't. In this sense, the Web is a market economy where millions of individuals get to decide, moment by moment, how to spend the precious currency of their time and attention.
8. Power comes from sharing information, not hoarding it.
The Web is also a gift economy. To gain influence and status, you have to give away your expertise and content. And you must do it quickly; if you don't, someone else will beat you to the punch—and garner the credit that might have been yours. Online, there are a lot of incentives to share, and few incentives to hoard.
9. Opinions compound and decisions are peer-reviewed.
On the Internet, truly smart ideas rapidly gain a following no matter how disruptive they may be. The Web is a near-perfect medium for aggregating the wisdom of the crowd—whether in formally organized opinion markets or in casual discussion groups. And once aggregated, the voice of the masses can be used as a battering ram to challenge the entrenched interests of institutions in the offline world.
10. Users can veto most policy decisions.
As many Internet moguls have learned to their sorrow, online users are opinionated and vociferous—and will quickly attack any decision or policy change that seems contrary to the community's interests. The only way to keep users loyal is to give them a substantial say in key decisions. You may have built the community, but the users really own it.
11. Intrinsic rewards matter most.
The web is a testament to the power of intrinsic rewards. Think of all the articles contributed to Wikipedia, all the open source software created, all the advice freely given—add up the hours of volunteer time and it's obvious that human beings will give generously of themselves when they're given the chance to contribute to something they actually care about. Money's great, but so is recognition and the joy of accomplishment.
12. Hackers are heroes.
Large organizations tend to make life uncomfortable for activists and rabble-rousers—however constructive they may be. In contrast, online communities frequently embrace those with strong anti-authoritarian views. On the Web, muckraking malcontents are frequently celebrated as champions of the Internet's democratic values—particularly if they've managed to hack a piece of code that has been interfering with what others regard as their inalienable digital rights.
These features of Web-based life are written into the social DNA of Generation F—and mostly missing from the managerial DNA of the average Fortune 500 company. Yeah, there are a lot of kids looking for jobs right now, but few of them will ever feel at home in cubicleland.
So, readers, here's a couple of questions: What are the Web-based social values that you think are most contrary to the managerial DNA one finds inside a typical corporate giant? And how should we reinvent management to make it more consistent with these emerging online sensibilities?[End quote]
WeWe will dicuss these insights further in my ENTR200 classes over the next several weeks. I've included a short clip from Gary below so you can meet him so to speak. Hank
Blowin' In The Wind
Tomorrow (Tuesday, 3/31/09) Purdue University is hosting a seminar on wind energy for residential landowners from 9-5 at Pfendler Hall Dean's Auditorium. Essentially, what a landowner needs to know about how to install, cost, and benefits of wind power will be addressed. Call 317-690-7243 or email cdorman @oed.in.gov for reservations.
With that as background, several times in my ENTR200 classes I have discussed the number of wind generators needed to replace a "real" power plant. So here are some numbers to chew on: A typical nuclear power plant generates on the order of 1000MW, that is 1 million kilowatts. A typical house (I know this is in the ball park from running TED to measure my own home's power consumption) with electric heating is in the 7-10 kw load range, let's say 10kw to make the math powers of ten. Thus 1X106 kw from a nuclear plant would power around 100,000 homes. BTW, newer coal-fired plants are about 1/2 to 3/4 the power output of a nuclear plant and cost about $1.3 billion or so (see here).
How many typical wind generators would it take to replace this one nuclear plant? One of the wind turbines by Skystream currently for sale (see video below) generates 1.8 kw in ideal conditions, definitely NOT 24/7. A later version is in the 2.4 kw range. So lets say for comparison, 2kw all the time, a gross over statement. So what is 1,000,000kw (output of a nuclear plant in kw) divided by 2? How about 500,000, yes folks 1/2 million typical home wind generators to replace but one nuclear plant. Think about the material and greenness of inputs to create this many wind generators, compared to one nuclear plant. At 1/2 the output for a typical coal-fired plant, it would require on the order of 250,000 wind generators to replace but one such power generating station, still not a trivial number by any means.
So there's the "facts." And a typical Skystream wind generator costs on the order of $14,000, not including permits etc. Such a system WILL NOT adequately power my home, even though we use the most efficient home heating source currently available, geothermal, are insulated to the nth degree, have Anderson state-of-the-art double pane windows, front loading/efficient laundry equipment, etc etc. Recall 2kw is only 20% of our typical load. We pay about $250 monthly for electricity, so potentially, a wind generator would save us $50 per month. At $50 per month, it would take $14,000/$50= 280 months or over 23 years for payback. Technology won't stand still for 23 years, and the Skystream system only has a 3 year warranty (sucks!) For me, it's just blowin' in the wind or more simply, blows. Hank

Google On Energy
There is $4.5 billion in the recently passed "get the US rolling again" bill for Smart Grid incentives. But just what a smart grid is, what is entailed in bringing about smart grid, the players, and "what's in it for me" have not been well articulated. Below is a 39:30 clip from Demo 09 which discusses Google's Power Meter. This is good background to an understanding of what to expect, if anything, from the expenditure of billions of dollars in this area. Hank

Indiana REMCs to Become Tax Collectors?
Indiana state's 39 REMCs, the providers of electricity to the state's rural areas, are very fearful of becoming nothing but tax collectors. How is this you may ask? Under the proposed Cap and Trade incentive currently popular by those calling the shots in Washington, industries "guilty" of emitting "stuff" above a level to be decided (along the lines of what has yet to be decided in yesterday's blog about computerization of health records) will be required to pay into a government-run pot. In Indiana, and much of the Mid West, which depend largely on coal-based generation of electricity for consumer use, the REMCs will be forced to collect this TAX. Call it what you want, it is a TAX.
Already in a dicey position with many of their customers – did you ever hear anyone speak in glowing terms about the provider of their electrical service? – a doubling or tripling of electrical rates is really going to piss REMC customers off. Aside from generating their own electricity, REMC customers (and most all electricity customers for that matter) have no choice – they are stuck with the utility that owns the power lines feeding their property. Farmers who use large amounts of electricity are already shaking in their collective boots.
Writing in the WSJ yesterday (p. A15), Fred Drupp, president of the Environmental Defense Fund, stated "A well-designed cap will push our economy towards clean, domestic energy in the most flexible way possible, leaving businsess free to grow and thrive. Investors will be driven by the market's demand for clean energy. Companies that make clean energy products – from steel for wind turbines to energy-efficient windows, and all the companies that supply them – will become engines of job creation." Last time I checked, the vast majority of wind turbine components were made in countries other than the US. How many wind mills running full blast would it take to run just one of Nucor's induction ovens for making steel?
Of course, all of this will only generate even more opportunity for entrepreneurs. Take your best shot. Hank
$19 Billion Down the Drain?
There is $19 billion in the economic stimulus bill signed into law a few weeks ago for a specific purpose. It is supposed to be used to computerize medical records resulting in seamless communication among doctors, patients, hospitals, and ???? resulting in fewer "mistakes." But, the government has a history of totally screwing up such efforts. [Lately, they have been screwing up everything! :-)] Get this (reference at end) only 4% of physicians had, at the end of 2008, fully functional electronic record systems. And this is to be totally turned around by 2011??? Keep in mind that no Health Secretary has been confirmed by Congress. No one is at the helm. At the present time what systems are acceptable, and how doctors et al are to use these systems is totally undefined. It's a $19 billion unknown! Details here:
And therein lies the opportunity for entrepreneurs. Hank
Welcome Back: The New Battles Taking Place
Welcome back from Spring Break. I had a great one! The M3 ran great for 1528 miles, good weather etc.
Meanwhile, a real battle in the energy arena is shaping up on the West Coast. Keep in mind that there are many many parties with a perceived stake in the government's recent interest in and investment of billions of dollars in "Energy." All is not good however.
"California's Mojave Desert may seem ideally suited for solar energy production, but concern over what several proposed projects might do to the aesthetics of the region and its tortoise population is setting up a potential clash between conservationists and companies seeking to develop renewable energy."
Read the entire story here: Aesthetics of a desert versus energy independence? We indeed live in interesting times. More info about the turtles is here. Hank
On Spring Break Until Monday, 3/23/09. Be safe!

TEAMS: Los Angeles Dodgers, Boston Red Sox, New York Yankees
All of a sudden, the Los Angeles Dodgers are the New York Yankees. After the massive trade they pulled off with the Boston Red Sox last season and an offseason that has included signing Zack Greinke to a six-year, $147 million deal, L.A. is expected to have the highest payroll in MLB history in 2013. As baseball fans know, with a massive payroll comes massive expectations. Dodgers manager Don Mattingly knows what will be expected of his squad this season after how much money they have invested in its current roster. He also believes it's likely the team falls short of expectations no matter what they accomplish. "No matter what we do this year, every article that's written is going to have something in there about the payroll," Mattingly told ESPN Radio's Mason and Ireland. "And if we win, we were supposed to win. How could these guys not win with that payroll? And if we lose, then it's a monumental disaster. So we might as well just take it head-on." I'm sure the Red Sox could shed...

Ladies meet 29" wheels. The Specialized Jett is custom built from the ground up to provide a confidence inspiring ride from the Premium M4 Aluminium frame to the custom tuned RockShox fork.
29ers have come a long way in the last year, the Specialized Jett is no exception to this fact. Extensive testing and design has gone into the fully butted, smooth welded M4 Premium Aluminium frame to provide a responsive, fast frame that is still comfortable to ride despite the larger wheels.
This is achieved through Specialized's impressive knowledge of how to make a bike handle perfectly from the special Women's XC Geometry to a custom-tuned 80mm fork designed around lighter weights delivers the performance you would expect from any other 26" wheeled bike with the added advantage of faster rolling wheels.
Bolted on to this performance frame are a selection of custom components from Specialized including a pair of high performance wheels, SRAM take care of powering you up the mountain with their X-5 groupset while Tektro Drace 2 hydrualic disc brakes with women specific levers provide the stopping power.

Topic - Advice on access to Sgurr Alasdair from Sron na Ciche , Skye.
jack_eadie - on 06 May 2012
Hi there. Next weekend I return to Skye with my father for the first time in a few years. In previous years we have done most of the easy classic mountaineering lines, the Dubh Ridge, Pinnacle Ridge of Sgurr nan Gillean, the Inn Pin, Clach Glas - Bla Bheinn traverse, Coire a Ghreadaidh skyline etc.
My dad would dearly love to stand on the Cioch and has said this would be his (and mine) preferred choice. So accessing via the terrace then Collies Route seems the best option, or Arrow Route if he feels up to it (he's 69).
He is trying also to bag his last few munros and Sgurr Alasdair remains. After consulting the guide it seems there is no real easy route from the Cioch up onto the ridge to Sgurr Sgumain - Sgurr Alasdair, Wallworks Route looks to be the easiest at V Diff.
If he's confident and feeling fit he could probably manage this but I don't want to take him out of his comfort zone and feel this may be a bit much.
Is there any other way up onto Sgurr Alasdair from the Cioch without descending and going round to the Great Stone shoot? Also what is the ridge like from Sgurr Sgumain to Sgurr Alasdair.
I think he would take the Summit at the expense of the Cioch at the end of the day but want to make it as memorable day as possible for us.
Thanks for your advice/info. J

San Francisco Care Center a Fine Fit for Its Neighborhood
By George Nevin
On the flank of San Francisco's Potrero Hill, patients at Sutter Pacific Medical Foundation's care center at 350 Rhode Island Street have found a warm welcome and a home.
The location is easy to get to, with convenient parking and three bus lines within a block. Inside, the quarters are comfortable, modern and spacious.
And then there's the human touch – in a neighborhood that previously was medically underserved, physicians, nurses and support personnel are genuinely happy to work here, and patients can feel it. Says one patient, "I love coming here!"
The care center, part of the Sutter Health network, has been on Rhode Island Street since November 2010. Previously a smaller care center, two miles away, served area patients. Internist Jerome Franz, M.D., worked in both locations, having come aboard at the former Cesar Chavez location in 1983. "We're very happy to be here," he says. "It's a new larger office and we have attracted patients from around the community. This area appears to have been underserved in terms of local doctors."
Another physician, family practitioner Elizabeth Ziemann, M.D., says with enthusiasm, "It's a space built specifically for us. It's really well designed, and we love it. There are a lot of surrounding businesses, and residents can walk here. Oh, and there's parking! We are comfortable. The doctors are happy. The patients are happy."
Serving the Local Neighborhood Community
The patient population is quite diverse, Dr. Ziemann says. "We serve a large Latino population who live in the nearby Mission District as well as attracting young professionals who work around the area. As a result, there is a lot of diversity at this new office."
The diversity extends to foreign languages spoken by the care center physicians and staff – several of the physicians are fluent in Spanish, and two languages of the Philippines, Tagalog and Visayan, are spoken as well.
Administrative Supervisor Christina DeLeon says, "About 75 to 80 percent of our patients came along when the care center relocated to the Rhode Island location."And the practice is thriving, she notes. "We are seeing more patients."
She adds, "When you come in here, it is like a family. Everyone smiles and makes you feel comfortable. I couldn't ask for a better staff."
In addition to Drs. Franz and Ziemann, five other physicians practice at the care center: pediatricians Agnes Alikpala, M.D., and David Tejeda, M.D.; family practitioner Robert Vazquez, M.D.; dermatologist Christine Jacobson, M.D.; and internist Charles Delatore, M.D. Along with these doctors comes a very welcoming group, including three medical assistants, four clerical staff, one lab technician and the dermatologist's LVN.
Up-to-Date, One-Stop Shop
Since July 2009, the care center has been affiliated with Sutter Pacific Medical Foundation, a group of more than 240 physicians who offer primary, specialty and complex medical care in San Francisco, Marin, Sonoma, Lake, Mendocino and Del Norte counties.
Dr. Ziemann calls the care center "a one-stop location" for care, and says, "We have an interesting mix of providers, and we're trying to get more specialists in so people won't have to go elsewhere for their appointments."
Dr. Ziemann helped launch the care center's electronic medical records project. She says, "Patients like that – they can set up an online account, and review their test results, and email us for appointments." They also appreciate the modern medical equipment and that an on-site lab is available to draw blood.
Keep it Personal
Care center physicians embrace a personal approach to medicine that resonates with their patients. For instance, Dr. Franz rides his bicycle to work from his home in Noe Valley, and makes house calls – yes, on his bike – to shut-in patients. He bikes to the St. Luke's campus of Sutter Pacific Medical Center, a Sutter Health affiliate, to visit hospitalized patients.
Dr. Ziemann also feels good about seeing her hospitalized patients at St. Luke's: "Patients like it. It's nice to see a familiar face when you are in the hospital."
One patient, a woman in her 40s, best summed up the care center: "I've been with this office for such a long time. When they decided to move, it was not a hard adjustment for me at all. It is worth my drive from the East Bay. The staff and doctors are all so wonderful and accommodating."

After 20 years of "making" with glass, looking at its' surface, underneath and through it, Karl made a personal realisation that was to change forever his creative perception of the material.
When he fused specific glasses together they reacted at their interfaces to create a 3rd element "within" the body of the piece. Although emerging out of the same process no two pieces are identical, each being created anew allowing for an organic growth of form. Through engaging with the material in both fluid and solid states it can reveal delicate designs not usually associated with glass.
Karl was Educated at Campbell College and University of Ulster Faculty of Art and Design Belfast. Proprietor of Private GlasStudio, participating artist in Masterclasses at North Lands Creative Glass Caithness and Visiting Lecturer at Ceramics Department University of Ulster and Metals & Glass Department National College of Art and Design Dublin Ireland.

Some days feel like this: they test your endurance and leave you a bit shaky.

Ha! I feel like that a lot. :)
You asked about my camera... the one I use most is a Nikon D200. It's a big step up from my old camera, which seemed like it was a million years old! Sometimes I use my husband's camera, a Sony Cyber-shot. It doesn't zoom as much, but you can put it in your pocket. I normally let the cameras choose their own settings, but I like having the opportunity to change things if I want to. The thing I change most is the spot-metering.

Last night was soooo needed.
Anonymous asked: What does your tattoo on your rib cage say?
I'll weave your names into my ribcage, lock your hearts inside my chest, regain the passion I once carried, do away with all the rest.
Sometimes I think I have felt everything I'm ever gonna feel. And from here on out, I'm not gonna feel anything new. Just lesser versions of what I've already felt.

Among the entrees, twenty will be selected, going through a series of Fan and Community Advisory picks and panel judging. Within the twenty selected, the Judging Panel will determine the top 50 that will be available for the community voting to determine the Grand Prize winner nine Runners-up and 10 Finalists.

Winner Selection
A limited number of Artwork entries, no more than fifty (50), will be selected by a non-partisan selection panel. The selection panel will be composed of persons within the County of Los Angeles whom have advertising, art, design, and/or condom manufacture and Condom Distribution Program expertise and selection will be made by the panel based on the programmatic, promotional and artistic value of the Artwork. The selection panel will vote during the period between June 18, 2012 and June 20, 2012 and the top 50 will be selected and reposted for public voting. The Top 50 designs will be selected by the voting public online from June 21th – June 26th, 2012. The top 50 designs will be posted on www.LASexSymbol.com and or Facebook.com/LACondom.

The ten (10) entrants who receives the next most votes will each win one (1) finalist prize. In the event of a tie, the judging panel will select the Grand Prize winner and the secondary pick will be a Runner-Up contest winner. The odds of winning depend on the number of eligible entries received, the artistic and promotional value of each individual Artwork entered, and the number of fan and community favorite votes and the decision by the judging panel. Upon completion of the selection process by the panel, DHSP will notify the entrants whose Artwork have been selected. The notification will be sent to the email address provided by the entrant. In the alternative or in addition, telephone notification may be used for all finalists. From among the finalists, the finalists' Artwork will be displayed on www.erasedoubt.org , www.borraladuda.org , www.lasexsymbol.com and on accompanied Facebook pages.

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
Chase Christian said...
Flash of Light reaches its haste cap at 676 haste (with Judgements of the Pure, a shaman haste totem down, etc). This means we're casting a Flash of Light every 1 second, which is the maximum possible number of casts per second.
Holy Light can never realistically hit its haste cap, which would be when we have SO much haste that it becomes a 1 second cast. We can get it close, say 1.2-1.3 seconds per cast, but it would have to be brought all the way down to 1.0 seconds before it would be capped. So, if you're casting Holy Light, you're fine having haste over 676. I'm running around with almost 900 haste, because I try to find any haste/mp5 and haste/crit gear possible. This means I can get off more Holy Lights in a shorter amount of time, which helps with how weak we are at healing multiple targets.

Well, it looks like we couldn't rely on a misinterpretation of a centuries dead culture's prediction of the future. Who would have guessed? Seeing as how the world didn't end yesterday, I guess some apologies are in order:
To my daughter, I'm sorry, sweetheart, but I really had no idea where I was going to get a field of magical ponies to begin with. Besides, I think you would find real-life My Little Ponies more creepy than comforting.
To my 5-year-old son, no you can't drive the car today. I know I said tomorrow, but tomorrow actually got here and surprised us all.
To my 8-year-old son, the check I wrote you for a kabillion dollars in Lego probably won't clear. I'm sorry.
To the friend that I owed $20, yeah, that check probably won't clear either.
To my creditors I'd like to say I'm sorry for mailing you pictures of my middle finger and/or bare ass in lieu of payment. I have no doubt you get that a lot, but that still doesn't make it right.
To the guy whose Ferrari I stole, I filled up the tank and put it back where I found it. Sorry about the dents.
To the people I lectured at the 4-way stop, you all do, in fact, drive like assholes and you really do need to learn how space, time and distance work, but backhanding each of you repeatedly probably wasn't necessary and for that I am sorry just as I know that you're sorry about denting the Ferrari with my face.
To my neighbors, I hereby return your lands to you and dissolve the nation of Kickassya. I've removed the flags, all work on the Wallace Monument has ceased and your cats are no longer outlawed as crimes against nature. I think it goes without saying that we probably shouldn't tell Uncle Sam about the Declaration I made you all sign—your names are on it, too.
To my co-workers, well, you probably won't find out what I did until we all get back from the Christmas break, so I'll just apologize then.
To anyone else I may have yelled at, frightened, ran over, gave fashion advice to, hit with the "water" in the Super Soaker, tricked into seeing Skyfall, gave what for to, pantsed, wedgied or forced to listen to my poetry, please know that I am truly sorry.
We all dodged an apocalyptic bullet yesterday and we should be thankful. We've been given a second chance so we should all consider this a fresh start, a chance to wipe clean the slate of our errors and misjudgments. It's time to celebrate this rebirth, embrace one another and stop all of this talk about pressing charges.
Looks like Johnny Cash was almost the performer for the opening credits on Thunderball.

Yasiel Puig will frustrate you to no end with some of his bat-flipping antics, but then he goes out and posts a great video on Instagram that makes up for it all.
Puigy was playing MLB 14 The Show and using the Dodgers as his team. He hit a walk-off grand slam to win the game and then let out a great cheer. Awesome!
By the way, these video games are starting to look so realistic it took me a second to realize I was watching a video game clip and not a replay from a real game. Sick.

A new study of more than a 1,000 prostate cancer patients could change the way doctors interpret those screenings. The standard screening tool is the PSA blood test. The study uncovered a clue that helps predict which men are more likely to die from the cancer before they are ever diagnosed. The clue? The PSA number itself is not as critical as how fast it rises from year to year. In other words, men whose PSA levels climbed more than 2 points a year were more likely to have a deadly kind of prostate cancer compared to those whose levels did not climb that fast. A concern for some, but a relief for others with prostate cancer whose numbers show the slow growing kind.
"If you had a man whose PSA was 6 this year, 6 last year and 6 the year before, he would be in a safer position than a man whose PSA was 4 this year, 3 last year and 2 the year before," says Dr. William Catalona, a prostate cancer researcher.
Dr. Catalona helped pioneer the PSA blood test. Right now, the first PSA test is recommended for men at age 50 and earlier for African Americans or for any man with a family history of the cancer. But now, Dr. Catalona says these findings in the New England Journal of Medicine point to the need for a baseline PSA blood test screening, perhaps as early as age 35, with regular screenings at 45 or 50. That way doctors could track any changes with a better chance of spotting a sudden jump, much like women get a baseline mammogram to use as for comparison later.
Now, even though the PSA blood test has gotten mixed reviews for it's ability to diagnose cancer, researchers say these findings suggest the test could be even better at predicting the aggressiveness of prostate cancer when they find it. According to the American Cancer Society, prostate cancer is the second-leading cause of cancer death in men and kills nearly 30,000 men a year.
PSA is a protein, in this case produced by the prostate gland, and plays a role in making semen a liquid when it leaves the body. For the most part, PSA stays in the prostate gland and is in the bloodstream in barely measurable amounts, but when something is going wrong in the prostate, PSA leaks into the bloodstream.

When using Social Media it's critical that you reflect your business objectives. Business objectives are (or should be) linked to your overall business strategy. So, when clients ask me "how can I use Social Media for my business?" I respond with the following question:
"What are your business objectives?"
Everything hinges on that question. When it comes to social media businesses don't find it easy to articulate their business objectives. In most cases they've heard that they should be "into Social Media" and are looking for ways to do just that – immediately. Unfortunately that generally means getting the latest Social Media tool and looking to tack Social Media on to somewhere or treat it as a separate activity. It should be integrated with your other marketing programs.
Conversations are driven by experiences
The Social Web is chiefly driven by conversations. A close look at these conversations will show that they are influenced by experiences. Those experiences are which are in turn affected by company processes and policies.
Take customer service for example – or in some cases, the lack thereof. A poor customer experience at one of your touch-points can get people talking. If you're aware of what's being said when people experience your service or product you can use these conversations to make improvements. If people talk about services that need improvements, chances are that they will also talk about the actual improvements.
Three things to do before starting your social media program
1. Meet with your entire team, not just the marketing team. Include:
- Product managers
- Business unit managers
- Operational teams
- Customer service teams
2. Review customer service calls:
- Look for trends
- Talk to customer service reps and other frontline staff – and listen to their input
- Identify the key issues – what's driving them?
3. Tie social media objectives into objectives that drive improvement
If your objective is product development objectives need to be those that drive the product development process.
Align success metrics to each objective
Your metrics will depend on your objectives and business culture. For example if your company is driven primarily by sales conversions, ensure your metrics include your sales conversion, purchase channels and how conversations impact these.
If, on the other hand, your company is driven by visibility, relate your metrics to what drives or influences your presence on the web.
At this point you can define the social media channels you will use.
Once you've decided on your objectives and which channels to use you can then apply your social media marketing tactics and tools to achieve those objectives using your specific metrics.
Don't forget to consider the activities your audience engages in, because these will guide what activities you offer them and how well you can measure them. For example, while your audience may read blogs, this doesn't mean they actively blog.
What do you think? How do your business objectives influence your social media programs?

An award winning inspector is being investigated for alleged misuse of his Twitter account.
West Midlands Police Inspector Michael Brown, who has won awards as a mental health officer is being investigated for alleged misuse of his Twitter account.
More than 200 Teams, departments, officers, PCSOs & Special Constables use the social media platform everyday to directly engage and communicate with the public.
Corporate Communications Department monitors all corporate use and should any inappropriate or operationally sensitive communication be identified, this will be taken up with the individual. In serious cases, the matter would be referred to the Professional Standards Department.
A spokesperson from West Midlands Police, Said: "Recent monitoring has led to the suspension of an account operated by a response inspector whose focus was on mental health policing.
Certain aspects of the officer's communication is currently being investigated for alleged misuse of a force account and as such it would be inappropriate for the account to continue whilst further enquiries are made.
Any breaches of force policy are taken extremely seriously and will be thoroughly and professionally investigated."
You can find a copy of the West Midlands Police Social and Digital Media Policy here http://tinyurl.com/WMPSocialMediaPolicy
ACC Garry Forsyth, said: "Our policy is intended to enable officers and staff to communicate with our communities effectively to offer an insight into our work.
It does impose some restrictions but we are, of course, an organisation that holds sensitive information so we have to ensure that there is some restraint. I also can't imagine any organisation that would want its employees to be openly critical of it - or indeed allow it.
The policy is not intended to discourage personal perspectives and I believe a human element assists with engagement."

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
The Gryphon's name is Henry Hodgekiss, he's 36 years old (in Gryphon years) and a Libra.
He enjoys long flights over the beach, eating rodents, and being made out of two animals. His wife Penelope left him recently because of his crippling titmouse addiction, so he was forced to take the job of security guard outside the Stormwind Gryphon roost. Every day Henry stays still... motionless save for a slight movement of the head or wings, so small that even the keenest-eyed observer will swear he didn't move at at all. Patiently he sits, absorbing the g-forces of the Alliance's collective ass as it plummets onto his head from above. What is he planning? We'll have to wait and see.

6 Great Tips for Women Traveling to India
posted in Featured . posted by Ian on October 20, 2008 . 8 Comments
This weeks Travel Community News comes to you from Beth Whitman of the famed Wanderlust and Lipstick Blog.
India can be a challenging country in which to travel for anyone. Foreign women, more so than men, tend to garner more attention from Indians so it can be even more overwhelming. The Indian women will want to touch your skin, make polite conversation to understand more about your culture and tell you all about their country. Many Indian men may not be so altruistic and may be more interested in a sexual liaison. In either case, keeping the following tips in mind will help create a safer and far more enriching experience for women travelers.
1) Dress conservatively. Despite the fact that Bollywood stars wear skimpy, skin-bearing, shimmering clothes, India is a socially conservative country. Local women, who usually dress in saris or salwar kameez outfits, generally don't bare their shoulders or knees. And neither should a foreign woman unless it's in a very touristy area where the locals are used to seeing more Westernized clothes. Even a woman in a tank top in a rural area can be considered a prostitute simply for baring her shoulders.
2) Don't be afraid to stand up for yourself. It's not uncommon for a woman to be groped, rubbed, followed or have a man come on to her. It's usually not in any forceful manner. However, it's so important to make yourself clear in telling him that his behavior is not OK. We often feel like we have to be nice, particularly when we are traveling abroad. But all bets are off when someone violates your space. Just say NO!
3) Carry a cable lock and small locks for your bags' zippers. These come in really handy, particularly on overnight train rides. Simply locking your backpack or luggage to your berth will thwart any would-be thief. And keeping the zippers locked together will prevent someone from opening your bag in order to quickly snatch its contents.
4) Stay healthy. I know. I'm making it sound simple. But one of the keys to staying safe and having the time of your life in India is to simply stay as healthy as possible during your journey. Eat well-cooked food, drink purified/bottled/boiled water, and keep your immunizations updated.
5) Make friends with local women. Join a homestay program such as Servas, Couchsurfing or Globalfreeloaders and connect with Indian women before you leave. Having a safety net of contacts before you even arrive will put you at ease and give some depth to your experiences. And, if you find yourself in need of help or a place to stay, you'll have someone to connect with.
6) Take time outs when needed. India is everything all at once and sometimes it can be overwhelming to be exposed to so many people and so much poverty. When you're feeling like your senses are on overload, find a place in which to retreat. This could be: poolside at your hotel; watching a movie in your hotel room; indulging in a one hour massage; or spending the afternoon at the restaurant of an upscale hotel. Treating yourself to some downtime will allow you to feel refreshed and ready to face the frantic yet fascinating street life of India.

MGM Mirage CEO to retire amid question over degree
"I think he has all the components that will make him a great chief executive officer," Lanni said.
A spokesman for MGM Mirage said the board had not set a date to make a decision.
If appointed, Murren would take over at a time when the company is navigating rough economic conditions.
In Las Vegas visitor volume is down 2.5 percent for the first nine months of 2008. Gambling revenue on the Strip is down 6.6 percent through September, according to the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority.
MGM Mirage's net income for the third quarter fell to $61.3 million, or 22 cents per share, compared with $183.9 million, or 62 cents per share, a year ago.
It hopes to save roughly $500 million a year companywide beginning in 2009 with various initiatives, including consolidating certain functions and other efficiencies, MGM Mirage officials said. The company also hopes to trim roughly $400 million from its CityCenter complex under construction in Las Vegas.
MGM Mirage owns 10 casino-hotels on the Las Vegas Strip, including Bellagio, Mandalay Bay and The Mirage. In all, the company owns and operates 17 properties in Nevada, New Jersey, Illinois and Macau. It has 50 percent partnerships in four other properties.
Lanni joined MGM Grand Inc. in June 1995 after serving as president and chief operating officer at Caesars World Inc. for more than 14 years. The company started with one property, the MGM Grand hotel-casino in Las Vegas, and oversaw acquisitions of Mirage Resorts in 2000 and Mandalay Resort Group in 2005.
The company also is developing CityCenter, a $9.2 billion casino complex on the Strip that is the most expensive private commercial development in U.S. history.
Lanni received $9.6 million in compensation in 2007, which consisted of $2 million salary, $6.4 million in non-equity incentive plan compensation and $1.2 million in other compensation, mostly in retirement benefits and personal use of company aircraft, according to a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Hanging By a Thread: Persistent Memory In a Dripping Drop Leads To Unexpected But Potentially Useful Discovery
November 13, 2003
Scientists have long believed that the breakup of all fluids—whether produced by a dripping faucet, a splashing fountain or the sun's boiling surface—exhibit the same type of dynamics. Now a group of scientists has discovered an exceptional dynamic associated with the breakup of a water drop in a highly viscous oil. This dynamic could potentially be used to create microscopically small fibers, wires and particles. >>
NJIT's Big Bear (California) Observatory Reopens
November 07, 2003
Big Bear Solar Observatory reopened Monday November 3 after a six-day shutdown cause by California's wildfires. Mandatory evacuation mean the center's director Philip Goode had to leave his home on Big Bear Lake and return to New Jersey, where the observatory is managed by the New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) in Newark. But no harm came to observatory staff, property, or equipment. >>

A major solar flare, possibly the second largest ever recorded, erupted today at 6:30 a.m. The intensity of the flare has sent a space storm careening towards the Earth. If the storm's magnetic field is in the right direction – opposite that of the earth – it could cause problems when it reaches us Wednesday. It could knock out power grids, upset satellites and disrupt GPS signals. More benignly, if the weather is clear, people who peer into the northern sky on Wednesday night could see a shimmer of lights known as an aurora," says NJIT physicist Dale Gary. >>
October 24, 2003
"This storm is predicted to be a strong event, but events of this size are not too unusual," says Dale Gary, Ph.D., professor of physics at New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT). "We don't expect to see it cause an unusually large amount of activity on earth. We see an event of this sort happening on the average of once every 30 days or during an 11-year solar cycle, about 200 times." >>

Solar Physicists at New Jersey Institute of Technology Discover Rapid Changes in Magnetic Fields on Surface of Sun
June 16, 2003
A solar research team from New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) has discovered new information about the sun's surface, known as the photosphere. Haimin Wang, Ph.D., professor of physics at NJIT, who led this team, detected rapid changes last July in magnetic fields on the sun's surface. Such rapid changes are associated with flares and coronal mass ejections (CME). >>

FARGO, N.D. (AP) - A man accused in a double homicide in Fargo last November has pleaded guilty.
KFGO radio reports that David Stevens on Friday admitted to stabbing his former girlfriend, 23-year-old Sarah Wickenheiser, and another man, 30-year-old Ward Berg, of Moorhead, Minn., in Wickenheiser's north Fargo apartment.
Stevens' wife told police the pair drove from Brookings, S.D., to Fargo because Stevens wanted to pick up clothing from the apartment. David Stevens later told authorities he had brought a knife for protection.
Stevens had attempted to plead guilty earlier, but a judge rejected the plea until a mental evaluation was completed. The murder charges against him carry a maximum punishment of life in prison without parole.

Our Exams Officer is having a problem printing PDF's that I just cannot answer. What happens is, she has to go to the AQA website and open several series of PDF's, roughly 4 in each series, but directly from the site*, not opened, saved as etc etc.
She can then print, say the first 3 in the series once they've each opened, but the last one will only ever print 2 pages and then causes her printer to error.
This happens on every series of PDF's she is opening; it's always the last file that will not print. It also isn't the same file in each of the series; each series has it's own set of files. The first few print, but it is always the last one that will not.
Her printer is a local HP1350 USB, but we also tried printing to a mahoosive network Ricoh in the Bursary, with the same problem!
She logged onto my machine as me, logged into the AQA web site as her, and printed all her PDF's to my very old networked HP without issue!
She also got onto AQA technical 'sport, and they were able to log in as her, and print the files that wouldn't print to their own printer. That, in my opinion rules out the files as being a problem.
It has to be something on her machine that is causing the problem, but what? Why can she print 3 of 4 (for example), but not complete the 4th?
*Rules are that they are not allowed to 'download' the PDF's per se (even though it is probably cached somewhere locally anyway!) so I can't get hold of the file to test it independently on different machines.

I am Elizabeth a current senior, future MBA student and fashion enthuiastAsk me anything
Cleaning the Cabniet
Today while at work my boss ask to have a talk with me. I thought i did something wrong. she just wanted to tell me that I was doing a good job and gave me some positive criticism. she says " Liz you don't smile give people the impression you want them to have. Never let someone come up with one on their own." people tell me that I should smile more. they also say you must be approachable so I will practice smiling more often. After many years of gaining friendships I have realized that many have not lasted. during a visit to bath and body works I realized that it is vital for me to continue investing in myself which means I need to invest in my friends they are like mt cabinet and without them I am as efficient as I could be nor am I as happy. It's no secret that you need to know who you can trust in hard times. So I have cleaned my cabinet.
Today I found out that i have two suite mates I hope they are nice. I believe that i am going to have a great view of the river. I have found a dentist he is great really nice and pleasant I enjoy my visits. So I am finally starting to relax and meet some new people. I have started up conversations quite easily and see a bright social life ahead for myself. I have six weeks until it is time to move.
Bag sale
Yesterday I attended the bag sale at the YWCA on the corner of Elizabeth and Lee street. I bought one bag of clothes which included two dress shirts three pairs of dress pants two printed bottoms and a lounge shirt that I may have turned into a dress. everything was a total of three dollars. I have thought about styling my new findings and posting pictures.
Business school
After interviewing and visiting several options I was admitted to my first and second choices. I decided on attending the University of Charleston. I was elated to have my mother read me the acceptance letter. I have completed some paperwork and read everything I know about. I am ready to make my next move in life.
It has been a couple of weeks after graduation. I have finally headed back to the gym. that has been way over due but, i am gad the time has come. if i am not healthy i am not happy. I hope to get back to my pre-senior year weight. Justin my trusted friend and trainer is going to help me see that it happens. the next thing on my list is to socialize more I do not network enough.
its memorial day weekend. I went shopping yesterday to my local mall. Christopher & Banks had a sale going on. i have never shopped there before, I seen a sparkling top in a box so i had to stop in. after looking around I really liked the store and customer service. I left with a sweater and fo leather jacket for 21.18. I also stopped by bath and body works they had a 3 for 3 sale and a buy one get one free for pink products. the sales woman informed me that the semi-annual sale starts on the thirteenth of next month, after i picked up a workout journal to record my sessions with Justin the trainer.
