It's a must for all Phuket visitors! The view is amazing and the statue is massive! Just a few kilometers away from the main beaches.
impressive but very hot day and still under construction
Get a drive and take a trip around island for the day, worthwhile seeing great views...
worth to go, but do not spend too much on the transport, lots of companies offer a combined tour, better rent a motorbike and go yourself.

UPDATE (Jan. 30, 10:49 a.m.)—A vigil was held Sunday night for 68-year-old , who was killed in a incident on Jan. 22. Standing along Seven Courts Drive, community members demanded that the driver responsible turn himself or herself in to police, WJZ News reported.
A week after the incident, there are no known suspects in the case, Baltimore County police spokeswoman Louise Rogers-Feher told Patch on Monday.
"The crash team is investigating and still asks for the public's help in finding the suspect," Rogers-Feher said.
At about 7 p.m. Jan. 22, a vehicle stopped to allow Moore to cross Seven Courts Drive. Another vehicle then drove around the stopped vehicle, striking and killing her, police said. The vehicle then fled the scene.
The suspect vehicle is described as a light-colored, four-door Ford 500 sedan, built between 2005 and 2007. It likely has damage to the right front bumper, the right headlight and possibly the hood and right front panel, she said. No information is available on the vehicle's license plates.
Anyone with information that could assist in the ongoing investigation is asked to call police at 410-307-2020.
Neighbors, during the vigil, also called for along the busy roadway, the report stated.
While police say the hit-and-run incident was not directly related to speed, community members say it reflects the roadway's .
are not an option along Seven Courts Drive, told Patch last week. The only options for speed reduction include increased police enforcement, a radar display board or the installation of a within Seven Oaks Elementary's school zone, Marks said.
How should police address speeding and reckless driving conditions on Seven Courts Drive? Tell us in the comments.

Originally formed in 1964 as the Classics (adopting the name CFUN Classics when they gigged to promote local Vancouver, BC radio station CFUN-AM), the group were featured as the house band on Let's Go, a weekly TV show. In 1965, they released two singles as the Canadian Classics -- "Til I Met You" (Jaguar 2002A) and "I Don't Know" (Valiant 723). The band reinvented themselves as the Collectors in 1966. With former horn player Howie Vickers handling lead vocals, they cut "Eyes" and "Don't Feel Bad" -- both of which later appeared on the History of Vancouver Rock and Roll, Volume 4 (VRCA 004; 1991.) "Eyes" -- a fine folk tune seasoned with tasty guitar and just a dash of psychedelia -- is easily the better track. "Don't Feel Bad" has a vague "On Broadway" feel. More elaborately produced, it also seems a less genuine effort. By 1967, in addition to lead singer Howie Vickers, the Collectors included Claire Lawrence (tenor sax, organ, recorder, flute), Bill Henderson (lead guitar), Glenn Miller (bass) and Ross Turney (drums) -- the band's "classic" line-up. Recordings from this period include the Vancouver smash hit "Lookin' at a Baby" (New Syndrome 16, 1967, subsequently reissued on the History of Vancouver Rock, Volume 3 VRCA 001, 1983) and two other 45s, "Fisherwoman" and "Fat Bird." "Lookin' at a Baby" is MOR flute-pop floating amidst heady clouds of psychedelia. Vickers' departure from the Collectors in 1969 necessitated Henderson's promotion to lead vocalist. Eventually, the band rechristened themselves Chilliwack. ~ Stansted Montfichet, Rovi

CHICAGO -- Infielder Javier Baez, the Cubs' No. 1 pick in the 2011 First-Year Player Draft, will join top prospect Matt Szczur in the Arizona Fall League, which starts Oct. 9.
Baez, 19, began the year at Class A Peoria and batted .333 in 57 games before he was promoted in early August to Class A Daytona. He was batting .153 in 17 games there. Szczur, 23, a fifth-round pick in 2010, was in the Cubs' Major League Spring Training camp, and began the season at Daytona, where he hit .295 in 78 games. At Double-A Tennessee, he was batting .202 in 30 games.
They'll be joined on the Mesa Solar Sox team by outfielder Rubi Silva and pitchers Dae-Eun Rhee, Nick Struck, Tony Zych, Zac Rosscup and Kevin Rhoderick. Rhoderick will be on the taxi squad.
The Arizona Fall League celebrates its 20th anniversary season this year. The six-team league, owned and operated by Major League Baseball, plays six days per week, Monday through Saturday, in six Cactus League stadiums, including HoHoKam Stadium in Mesa, Ariz.
Jorge Soler, who signed a nine-year, $30 million deal with the Cubs in late June, was expected to play in the Cubs' instructional league in Mesa this fall. Soler, 20, was batting .305 with two home runs and five doubles in 15 games with Class A Peoria.
"Jorge hasn't played much baseball," said Brandon Hyde, the Cubs' Minor League field coordinator who was promoted Wednesday to the club's director of player development. "We're excited about the start he's had in Peoria. He just hasn't played much and we want to get him in instructional league and get him five weeks to get this legs underneath him and get in playing shape. He was short on experience this last year. He's a special talent."
Silva, 23, a Cuban who signed with the Cubs in December 2010, hit .302 in 111 games at Daytona, and was batting .276 in 15 games at Tennessee.
Rhee and Struck were both starters at Tennessee, with Rhee, 23, posting a 9-8 record and 4.95 ERA in 26 games, while Struck was was 13-10 with a 3.30 ERA. Struck, 22, a 39th-round pick in 2009, threw a no-hitter at Class A Peoria in 2010, and has five quality starts in his last eight games.
Zych, 22, a fourth-round pick in 2011, was 2-1 with a 3.80 ERA in 18 games in relief, Rosscup, 24, had a 4.64 ERA in 10 games, and Rhoderick had a 4.87 ERA in 43 games. Rosscup was acquired from the Rays in the Matt Garza deal, and also pitched in three games for Class A Peoria.
Rhoderick, 24, was a ninth-round pick in 2010, and posted a 1.35 ERA in 21 games in the first half of the season. He has a 7.92 ERA in 22 games in the second half.

Major air disasters seem to be happening with more frequency
lately. Or maybe it's my increasing unease with just how well the
airlines inspect their planes, screen passengers and cargo, and
manipulate the burgeoning numbers of flights circulating through a
limited airspace. The variables that can result in the death of so
many innocent people are endless, and the drama that unfolds in
Kathy Reichs's FATAL VOYAGE illustrates that point with stunning
clarity. Yet, the airplane disaster is only the first act in the
chilling tale that readers will experience in her latest Temperance
Brennan thriller.

Looking to keep GOP out of health care decisions, Obama threatens to veto bill backing his own delay
President Obama has threatened to veto a House bill that would put into law a decision he made two weeks ago.
In a statement, the White House said the Obama administration "strongly opposes" a pair of Republican-led bills to delay the employer mandate and individual mandate within the president's signature health care law.
SEE ALSO: WOLF: Obamacare's panicked Democrats
The administration quietly announced July 2 in a pair of blog posts that it would delay by one year, to 2015, penalties tied to a mandate requiring firms with the equivalent of 50 or more full-time workers to provide insurance or pay fines, citing the business community's concerns about complex reporting requirements.
Eyeing an opportunity to dismantle the Affordable Care Act, House Republicans cued up votes for Wednesday on bills to codify the White House's delay and match it with a delay of the provision requiring most Americans to obtain some form of health insurance.
The votes will force Democrats to align with the president or distance themselves from the overhaul in the wake of its recent stumbles.
The legislation also left the president's Office of Management and Budget in the awkward position of threatening, in the case of the employer mandate, to kill a bill that would reflect the White House's own decision-making.
House Speaker John A. Boehner, Ohio Republican, urged members Tuesday to vote for both bills, arguing that regular Americans should get a reprieve from the individual mandate because the Obama administration has delayed the mandate for "big business."
"We think it is blatantly unfair, and that is why we are here today," Rules Committee Chairman Pete Sessions, Texas Republican, said at the outset of a hearing to set parameters of debate on the bills before Wednesday's votes.
Democrats have downplayed the impact of the employer mandate, noting it will affect a small percentage of businesses. However, they say the individual mandate is the brainchild of conservative thinkers and integral to the law.
House Minority Whip Steny H. Hoyer, Maryland Democrat, told reporters Tuesday that he expects most Democrats to vote against both measures because the employer mandate affects "a relatively small universe of businesses" and congressional authorization of the delay "is redundant and unnecessary."
Supporters of Obamacare say the law is helping Americans by allowing young adults to stay on their parents' plans and forcing insurers to spend a greater share of customers' premiums on actual care. They said people with pre-existing medical conditions will get coverage, and the poorest Americans will be able to afford coverage through government subsidies on state-based insurance exchanges or the expansion of Medicaid enrollment in about half the states.
In the Senate, Minority Whip John Cornyn, Texas Republican, accused Mr. Obama on Tuesday of picking and choosing which laws he wants to implement, even if GOP lawmakers are poised to take advantage of the delay.
"The problems with the mandate will, of course, still be there in 2015, notwithstanding the one-year delay, unilaterally, by the administration," Mr. Cornyn said.
Rep. Todd C. Young, Indiana Republican and the sponsor of the bill to delay the individual mandate, also ridiculed the White House decision this month to delay a key part of its law.
"We're a nation of laws," he said, "not a nation of blog posts."

What passes for today's Republican Party ideology is virtually imcomprehensible. On the one hand, the State of Mississippi will give profitable, private health care companies tens of millions of dollars in tax incentives (read: corporate welfare)to relocate their businesses in Mississippi. But on the other hand the same State of Mississippi will not give access to health care to the taxpayers who pay the taxes in the first place to lure those healthcare companies.
And then, when those taxpayers get sick, as virtually all human beings do at some point, the State of Mississippi dumps those healthcare expenditures on the rest of the taxpayers of Mississippi including the healthcare companies that Mississippi has spent tens of millions of taxpayer dollars luring to Mississippi in the first place.
And this doesn't even take into account the blinding stupidity of refusing to expand Medicaid to offer basic preventative care. Why on earth would the state at ground zero of the so-called "Stroke Belt" want to deny simple, cost effective things like statin drugs, blood pressure medicines and nutritional counseling, to prevent huge expenditures down the road? Why would any rational business person say, "I won't spend $1 a day on a cholesterol medicine to prevent a 40 year old from becoming permanently disabled due to a stroke"? Who in their right mind would rather foot the bill for a quadruple heart bypass than pay pennies a day on blood pressure meds? Can anyone justify the explosion of Type II diabetes vs the cost of nutional counseling?

The origin of the dulcimer is as elusive as its haunting sound. Two types of instrument stake claim to the nameoth have different shapes, different methods of being played, and diverse origins. The fretted dulcimer resembles an elongated violin with a limited number of strings (usually three to five) that can be plucked or bowed. In the United States, the fretted dulcimer is better known as the Appalachian or Mountain dulcimer.
The hammered dulcimer is rectangular or trapezoidal in shape and has sets of multiple strings with a range of up to three octaves. The instrument is played with two light-weight beaters called hammers that are shaped like long-handled spoons...

Amount of HCl in 1L of gastric juice `= 2.98g`
Amount of HCl in 2.5L of gastric juice `= 2.98xx2.5 = 7.45g`
So per day a person will produce 7.45g of HCl.
Molic weight of HCl `= 36.5g/(mol)`

Physical Evidence
A successful crime investigation depends upon the collection and analysis of various kinds of evidence. Forensic scientists classify evidence in different ways and have specific ways of dealing with it. One major distinction is between physical and biological evidence. Physical evidence refers to any item that comes from a nonliving origin, while biological evidence always originates from a living being. The most important kinds of physical evidence are fingerprints, tire marks, footprints, fibers, paint, and building materials. Biological evidence includes bloodstains and DNA.

For this question, you can use:
`dy= V_(iy) * t + 1/2at^2`
Now first we shall assign the values needed to solve for the time required.
`dy` = -4 (direction is down)
`V_iy` = 5m * sin (35) = 2.8679
`a ` = acceleration due to gravity = -9.81m/s^2 (direction is down)
`t ` = time = ?
By substitution, we can now have:
`-4 = 2.8679t - 4.9t^2`
Arranging the equation into standard form:
`4.9x^2 -2.8679x - 4 = 0`
To solve for the value of t, quadratic equation is used.
`x = (-b +-sqrt(b^2 - 4ac))/(2a)`
The two values derived from this equation are -0.657 and 1.24. we will choose the positive time which is 1.24 seconds.

Science: What is the order of colors in a rainbow?
A rainbow is made by the reflection and refraction of light that interacts with raindrops. Depending on how this interaction occurs with your location relative to the sun and the raindrops you may see a primary and even a secondary rainbow.
The interaction that occurs to create the primary rainbow will produce a spectrum of colors in order Red - Orange - Yellow - Green - Blue - Indigo -Violet (ROY G BIV) with Red occuring on the outside edge of the rainbow to Violet occuring on the insdie edge (closest to the center) of the rainbow.
The extra reflection that occurs to produce the secondary rainbow causes the colors to reverse order. So on the secondary rainbow Red will occur on the inside edge followed by Orange,...
Acrylic Plastic
Acrylic plastic refers to a family of synthetic, or man-made, plastic materials containing one or more derivatives of acrylic acid. The most common acrylic plastic is polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), which is sold under the brand names of Plexiglas, Lucite, Perspex, and Crystallite. PMMA is a tough, highly transparent material with excellent resistance to ultraviolet radiation and weathering. It can be colored, molded, cut, drilled, and formed. These properties make it ideal for many applications including airplane windshields, skylights, automobile taillights, and outdoor signs. One notable application is the ceiling of the Houston Astrodome which is composed of hundreds of...
Glaciers are flowing masses of ice, created by years of snowfall and cold temperatures. Approximately one-tenth of Earth is covered by glaciers, including Antarctica and parts of Greenland, Iceland, Canada, Russia, and Alaska. Mountainous regions on every continent except Australia also contain glaciers. Glaciers have enormous powers to reshape the face of Earth. Even today, glaciers are altering how our planet looks, and they hold clues to its past and future.
How glaciers form
Glaciers are created in areas where the air temperature never gets warm enough to completely melt snow. After a snowfall, some or most of the snow may melt when it comes into contact with warmer ground...

Periodic Table
The periodic table is a chart that shows the chemical elements and their relationship to each other. The periodic table is a graphic way of representing the periodic law.
History of the periodic law
By the middle of the nineteenth century, about 50 chemical elements were known. One of the questions chemists were asking about those elements was the following: Is every element entirely different from every other element? Or are some elements related to other elements in some way? Are there patterns among the elements?
A number of chemists suggested various patterns. German chemist Johann Wolfgang Döbereiner (1780849) observed in 1829, for example, that three of the...
Science: How can a fish survive in water with the oxygen in it only 4 percent of what...
Unlike mammals with lungs, fishes have gills as the respiratory organ. Gills are a series of membranes loaded with blood capillaries, located on each side of the head of the fish. As water passes over this system of extremely fine gill membranes, the contact area for oxygen exchange increases dramatically. Aided by a highly efficient water pumping system that involves the mouth and the outer cover of the gills, called the operculum, the fish gallops copious amount of water per unit time and this makes up for the low percentage of available oxygen. This way the fish can actually extract and absorb up to 85% of available oxygen out of the water. Since water contains only ~4% of the available oxygen that air at sea level does, such a...

Physics: What is the formula for pressure?
The formula for pressure is
In this equation, P stands for pressure while F stands for force and A stands for area. Pressure is typically measured in a unit called the Pascal.
So what this means is that the amount of pressure that is exerted on an area is determined by the size of that area and by the amount of force that is pressing against it.
Therefore, if you have a given amount of force, you will have more pressure if it presses down on a small area than if it presses down on a large area.

In many ways, new technologies are making it easier for us to fall victim to identity theft. This is particularly true because of the rise of internet commerce and the increasing use of credit and debit cards.
With the rise of internet commerce, more and more of our personal information is on the internet. We provide such information, for example, to our banks or to the colleges we attend. These institutions can be susceptible to being hacked. If this happens, our identities can be stolen. This would have been much harder in the days before the internet.
In addition, we have moved away from using things like cash and checks and are using credit and debit cards much more than ever before. These are more...
Hair Analysis
The scientific study of hair is called trichology and this field dates to the mid 1800s. Forensic scientists perform three major types of hair analysis. Chemical assays are used to assess the use of illegal drugs, to screen for the presence of heavy metals in the body, and to test for nutritional deficiencies. The root of the hair has cells that contain DNA, which can be used for DNA analyses. Microscopic comparison of hair collected from two different places is used to determine if the hairs are from the same person or animal.
Because hair can be moved from location to location by physical contact, the presence of a specific person's hair can link a suspect or a victim to a crime...
Chemistry: What are some examples of homogeneous mixtures and heterogeneous mixtures?
A compound is a chemical combination of two or more elements in definite proportions. For example, two hydrogen molecules + one oxygen molecule= one water molecule. A solution is a physical combination of two or more chemicals mixed evenly (salt that is dissolved in water). Solutions are also known as homogenous mixtures. A mechanical mixture is a physical combination of two or more chemicals that are not evenly mixed (hot fudge on ice cream). Mechanical mixtures are also known as heterogenous mixtures.
Homogenous: milk, kool-aid, blood, lotion, window cleaner, glue, etc.
Heterogenous: pizza, cereal and milk, rocks in the sand at the beach, banana splits, etc.

Thong Sala
Travel Guide
The main town on Ko Pha Ngan, most people will just pass through Thong Sala on the way to one of Ko Pha Ngan's many beaches.
It's packed with the standard port town stuff -- travel agents, tourist shops, restaurants and bars suitable for an hour or so while you wait for a ferry, banks and exchange facilities, internet cafes and medical clinics.
If you're staying close by or need to kill a few hours while waiting for a boat there are a few things to keep you busy -- including a newly opened cinema, a gym where you can get Thai boxing lessons, and a paintball battlefield.
With all of the reasons why you may find yourself in Thong Sala, there are very few (if any) reasons why you would choose to stay in Thong Sala. Accommodation options in the town's centre consist mainly of large impersonal hotels and a couple of laid back guest houses.
Even if you have an early ferry departure, the resorts on the closest beaches are a better value than the places in town and are still within reach of the pier and Thong Sala's many services.
The town has everything visitors could possibly need. Several banks, ATMs and money exchange kiosks are located a short walk from the pier, as are a countless array of travel agents, markets, pharmacies, internet cafes and some decent shopping. Most places also offer motorbike and jeep rentals for about 200-250B/day.

Reining in the Wandering Project
byA project can get in a great deal of trouble when the tail starts wagging the dog instead of vice versa. Here are some issues to look for so that the project manager can keep a tight hold on the project leash.
"Wise up, folks. We're all alone out there," observed Nick (played by actor William Hurt) in the movie The Big Chill. That line echoed through my mind recently as I listened to a story unfold over lunch. It would seem that something had happened while we were hard at work the past few years…
While information technology and project management have grown and matured together over the last three decades, some recent developments have led me to think that the relationship may be uneasily strained in some locales. Apparently, IT project management can be commoditized, marginalized and neutralized. Or can it?
With the steady industry shift away from custom code applications to more commercial software packages and services, IT project management practices are necessarily changing to adapt to the new conditions. Is this a glimpse into what the future holds?
Paradigm Shock
I was talking with Jim, a colleague I used to work with. He was sharing with me his experience with implementing a pretty comprehensive (and expensive) commercial software package at his company. We'll call the software Enterprise.
This vendor had a pretty solid reputation and extremely high customer satisfaction scores. Jim was assigned as his company's internal IT manager at the start of the program. Once the program got underway, however, Jim got the feeling that he was more of a passenger on this ship than a member of the crew. The vendor had some very specific tasks they wanted Jim to perform in his IT role--and program planning wasn't one of them. The first assignment Jim drew was to pick his team. "Not so fast!" he cried. Jim wanted to plan the work before deciding on resourcing options.
The Enterprise vendor implementation team promptly sent Jim a colorful template that specifically defined the 20 or so roles that his team would play on the implementation program. Each role had a list of typical skills needed. All Jim had to do was find the appropriate actors and actresses to fill each role. Jim found the appropriate team members--even though he still didn't know what the script for this movie looked like.
Out With the Old
While the IT team was getting set, Enterprise finished staffing the other teams on the program with solid representation from the business areas (finance, accounting, supply chain, etc.). They also joined the program "cast" based upon criteria noted by the Enterprise directors. After the full team was assembled, they wasted no time in getting down to business and moving the program forward.
Enterprise didn't use such things as program plans. Instead, specific tasks were grouped together on spreadsheets and were provided to each of the teams (including IT) at the start of each week. These "day-by-day" documents were little more than activity punch lists of what needed be done that week (finalizing a chart of accounts, list of suppliers, entering all of your vendors, install servers, etc.).
While it was nice to have the tasks provided to the teams, it was hard not knowing what was coming up down the road. At times, the experience seemed to have more in common with an episode of The Amazing Race than a large software program. Jim recalled, "It was like being told to travel from London to Rome, solve a puzzle, proceed to a hotel pit stop and await your next clue."
The narrow windows of activities sometimes left Jim's IT team scrambling because Enterprise only revealed hardware purchases when Enterprise wanted them to be made (according to best practice). This approach didn't take into account the long procurement lead times that Jim's company required before making purchases of this nature, which led to many infrastructure items needing to be expedited.
Gathering requirements? Not necessary. Enterprise had already provided a list of two server configurations to choose from (regular or heavy duty) and two vendors who sold the configurations as a package. Not much for Jim's team to do there. Desktop impacts? Please see Enterprise Bulletin #78--it details what the workstations should have and what specs you will buy for new workstations going forward.
Everything appeared to be perfectly anticipated by the vendor. As far as project management, Jim felt like he was just ornamentation on the set…
The New Normal?
The end of the first month was a real eye opener according to Jim. "The entire program was suddenly geared around the Enterprise report card." Obviously, implementing Enterprise isquite an investment for any company to make.
As part of the effort, Enterprise compiles a report card sent out each month to the CEO of the client's company and all of their direct reports. The report card summarizes the progress made in the last four weeks and brings to the CEO's attention any risks or areas where the team may be struggling. It's also an interesting way to let the CEO know how well the internal team follows instructions.
As for "classical" project management, Jim thought his skills were largely frozen out in the cold. Any time he tried to fill in a management function that he felt was being overlooked, he was politely asked not to do that. I can certainly understand why Enterprise software might prefer an approach like this. They have probably been at the receiving end of too many client complaints about large IT programs blowing their budgets and succumbing to the quagmire of numerous delays. After all, program challenges are a very real concern on large IT programs.
I would also suspect that the Enterprise team has seen its application (and image) succumb to over-engineered (but well-intentioned) project plans and overenthusiastic architects planning five-nines and "high availability". After getting burned once too often, Enterprise has taken the reigns of the script and moved IT and project managers to the back of the room where they can't cause so much trouble.
What Worked Well
Within a few months, the report card proved to be a surprisingly valuable tool. It forced the program team to come to grips with what was going well and where they could use some help implementing Enterprise. It caused the whole company to become involved with the application investment instead of it being "something else that IT is doing".
Compartmentalized task lists also kept project teams focused on what they were doing and kept teams from becoming overwhelmed at what still needed to get done. Instead of looking up at 110 floors in the stairwell, you saw it in two flight increments so it always seemed doable. The "cookie cutter" approach to the IT implementation did reduce a lot of the options and hand-wringing within IT about how best to solution the final product. That activity was taken off the table.
Where It Fell Short
Jim noted that this planning approach worked well for the things that needed to be done within the Enterprise ecosystem. But for things that needed to be coordinated with the environment outside of the Enterprise ecosystem, the approach fell short.
Dealing with legacy systems, interfaces and planning for how the Enterprise software would work with everything else in Jim's legacy world is, by definition, specific to Jim's company and can't be scripted ahead of time. Here is where old-fashioned systems analysis and detailed planning couldn't be avoided. While Jim did cut some of the PM corners in the space, his team did have to rely heavily on the basics and react to this work much later than they would've preferred.
All of these efforts somehow came together to deliver the finished product pretty close to the anticipated delivery date. It took a strong hand by Enterprise to control aspects of their product that they understood, and IT to figure out how to integrate it with everything else. The focus shifted from code and database calls to workflows and content and how to manage them.
The IT movie industry had to get used their role in a YouTube world.
Bottom Line
Are we really all alone out there? I don't think so. At least in the example from Enterprise, there are some techniques that clearly worked pretty well and a few that were inadequate.
What it really indicates to me is that project management and IT need to be able to adapt more quickly to a changing landscape and they need to be laser-focused on delivering measurable value. By constantly taking the broad view of the role IT plays and how it directly helps (or hurts) their customers, they can refine themselves for what may or may not be a trend in the future.
The time has clearly arrived for IT and project management to take a page from this script and understand what we can all learn from it. The business needs a result--not a long, complicated journey. If we are open to new ways of doing things, carefully tuning the process and improving our abilities to influence and collaborate with our business partners to achieve the best possible outcomes, then we are truly helping to create those win-win situations for our companies.
If we as IT feel that we are "all alone out there", it will be no one else's fault but our own.
Tom, great story and replies. I so agree with your bottow line advisements, "...project management and IT need to be able to adapt more quickly to a changing landscape and they need to be laser-focused on delivering measurable value." And yes, it is up to us..! |
Sadly I've been involved in an "Enterprise" like enterprise and seen some of the damage that can be done as the outsourced provider clears the decks for their team to take over.
I've also seen this turn around to become an excellent partnership arrangement with the outsourced provider gradually disengaging as the organisations maturity grew - with mutual respect and longstanding friendships in place.
However it all came down to the personnel involved and their attitudes to the relationship and their willingness to work together. |
This is a disturbing story. Based on years of experience, as client and as consultant, anyone who buys a large software implementation like "Enterprise" had better always remember that the vendor's definition of success almost certainly doesn't match that of the client. The implementation process the vendor proposes will be optimized for the vendor's convenience.
While it is perfectly appropriate to place a large amount of responsibility on the vendor's implementation manager, the client PM should make sure that (a) the scope of work in the contract covers everything the client wants, using measurable criteria of delivery, and (b) that the overall implementation plan includes actions by both the vendor (and any systems integrators or subcontractors) and the client in a coordinated manner.
Once you pay them, the vendor implementation team goes away, with another "success". The client has to live with the results. |

Along the same lines, when will Indiana start requiring insurance for the ever growing number of small motorized scooters? Based on news reports, it seems that operators of scooters are involved in a high number of accidents.
I assume that you would have to sue the owner of a scooter if they damaged your automobile, but what is likelihood of collecting compensation. As a motorcycle owner, the state of Indiana collects excise tax and fees that mirror those collected for automobiles. Bottom line, you either include two or three wheel vehicles or exempt them. Apply the laws fairly and consistently.

Illinois State Fair has highest attendance in a decade
SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (AP) - Illinois officials say this year's state fair had the highest attendance levels in more than a decade.
The governor's office says Thursday that more than 961,000 people attended the fair during its 11-day run this month.
That's up almost 5 percent from last year and the highest since 2002, when 1.2 million people went through the fair's gates.
Ticket sales for concerts at the fair's Grandstand topped $2 million, up more than 29 percent from last year to a new record. More than 53,000 fans attended concerts at this year's fair. The most popular performance was by country musician Toby Keith.
The fair ended Aug. 18.
Gov. Nixon attends lawmaker event at State Fair amidst controversy
SEDALIA, Mo. (AP) - Controversy over a rodeo clown who mocked President Barack Obama isn't keeping Gov. Jay Nixon away from the annual governor's ham breakfast at the Missouri State Fair.
Plenty of other executive officials and lawmakers also attended the event at the fairgrounds in Sedalia on Thursday.
The ham breakfast is only part of the allure. The event also offers the opportunity for politicians to shake hands with hundreds of rural Missourians in an informal atmosphere.
Earlier this week, many Missouri officials denounced a rodeo skit in which a clown wore an Obama mask while another riled the crowd with statements suggesting the president could be run down by a bull.
Lawmakers at the fair said they plan to continue funding the fair.
Head of Missouri Rodeo Cowboy Association resigns
BOONVILLE, Mo. (AP) - The president of the Missouri Rodeo Cowboy Association has resigned after getting flak about a State Fair event that mocked President Barack Obama.
An attorney for Boonville School Superintendent Mark Ficken said Tuesday that his client resigned from the rodeo association to protest its response to the Saturday incident.
Ficken was the rodeo announcer.
But attorney Albert Watkins says it was a rodeo clown wearing a microphone - not Ficken - who riled up the crowd as a bull chased a man wearing an Obama mask. The act was widely criticized by Missouri officials as disrespectful of Obama.
Watkins says Ficken resigned because the association had not barred the rodeo clown from its group.
The Boonville School District is hiring an investigator to look into Ficken's role in the event.

unicode possibilities
It would be nice if cl-user would display unicode input for CJK text. With PCL and On Lisp getting new printings in Japan, it might be beneficial to attract more brain-share from that side of the world. Would this be considered out of cl-user.net's scope?

re: unicode possibilities
I have to think about it.
The use of English as the standard language is prefered so that the information is useable by most lispers.
I don't mind some other language content though.

Repository access
Many sites have a link to view the repository such as:
Source code repository http://common-lisp.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/?cvsroot=cl-semantic
however, I can't find any place that describes how to convert that link into something that can be used to actually check out the source code. I'm very suppressed this hasn't been an issue before.

World number one Novak Djokovic achieved a straight-sets victory over Ivan Dodig in round two at the Paris Masters this afternoon.
Djokovic's participation at the tournament had been in doubt because of shoulder and back injuries, but he confirmed his appearance in the French capital earlier today.
The Serbian showed no signs of those niggles during the opening set, breaking in the ninth game before eventually recording a 6-4 success.
The next set proved to be even more comfortable for Djokovic, who wrapped up his passage to round three with a 6-4 6-3 triumph.
Next up for Djokovic is compatriot Viktor Troicki.
Result: Novak Djokovic through in Paris
