The New Media Frontier
- Thursday, October 23, 2008
Get used to citizens with video cameras so cheap and small that opposition candidates can afford to shadow their opponents with devices to catch them in a career-ending gaffe like the infamous "macaca" incident that helped end George Allen's political career.
Hugh Hewitt, professor, lawyer, and talk radio star, wrote a book in 2006 whose title sums up the case for the optimists: Blog: Understanding the Information Reformation That's Changing Your World.
Hewitt focused on the web log (or blog for short), a kind of online journal that anyone can set up for free. He was right to do so since the rise of the blog meant that any person could set up his own opinion journal with theoretic access to millions. Of course, most blogs are not worth reading, but many provide up-to-the-second eyewitness testimony about the conduct of war, Christian apologetics, and informed pastoral reflections. In the 2008 presidential elections, both parties, but especially the Democrats, found themselves forced to deal with the power of the "net roots."
Of course, the new media are not limited to printed text. Ask the music industry, which is still trying to come to terms with the digital revolution. In the Torrey class of 2008, few if any students had purchased any music anyplace other than from their computers.
My students spend more time on YouTube than with the dying "major" networks. Consumers can easily become producers in this environment. One of my former students, Josh Sikora, creates high-demand content for YouTube from his modest apartment that can compete online with George Lucas.
The revolution is here, and it is real, but what does it mean? What will the implications be for Christendom and for the church? Philosophers like to ask big questions. We also like to make sense of changes and suggest what these changes mean. At this stage of the development of new media, all thinking must be a sort of playful philosophizing because the change is so new and so little hard research has been done. But it is my belief that while technology changes, the essence of men does not. The past can be of some help in speculating about what the future may hold, and even speculation might help start the discussion that this topic needs within Christendom.
What Do We Mean by New Media?
You can know something without defining it. I know that my old vinyl Amy Grant album is not part of the new media revolution but that my Badly Drawn Boy download for my iPod is. My new Madden 2008 Wii game is new media, but the Sorry board game we just played is not.
Definitions can help us think about a thing with more precision. "The new media revolution" is a catchphrase, perhaps a dated one, but it is the best available. It covers a wide range of activities from my ten-year-old playing Runescape to my sixteen-year-old listening to Fred Sanders's lecture on the Trinity online.
Let me propose a definition of new media that will capture video games, downloaded music, and TiVo.
New media: any material presented to a person in a digital format that can be cheaply and easily accessed, distributed, stored in a variety of ways, manipulated, and consumed by an average person.
New media are digital.
New media are cheap.
New media are easy to access.
New media are almost too easily distributed and are easy to store.
New media can be transformed by the "consumer." In fact, the new media allow any consumer to quickly become a producer.
It will someday be possible for consumers to easily manipulate their favorite "shows." Imagine the ability (if you dare) to create new episodes of long-dead TVLand staples such as Green Acres or Star Trek. There will be no reason for a virtual William Shatner to ever stop "playing" Captain Kirk as fans manipulate his image and voice to produce new episodes of Star Trek featuring his character.

Contact your suppliers, they can probably custom build one for you.
After the BETT show wisit we were very taken by the Samsung NC10 Netbook for use in the classroom (Year 6). Anyone got any views on this netbook or what other reasonable ones, impressed with the size of screen, batter life etc. We would need ability to run XP Pro, have a reasonable hard disk etc, min 1Gb ram but would like more if possible.
Also anyone got any suggestions for a reasonable storage unit we could use to store them in, only looking to get 6 initially and if it went well get more so would need room for expansion.
Contact your suppliers, they can probably custom build one for you.
I have a feeling these won't be durable enough for kids to use. Felt a tad flimsy. We've upgraded the Ram to 2gb and runs smooth as a whistle with XP Pro.
All in all very good but would worry about life expectancy in hands of children with stubby fingers.
You're backing the right horse in your choice.
On our (MS) BETT stand, we had a "Wall of Cool" with a range of 10 netbooks, and on Wednesday night I took them to dinner with a group of teachers & network managers, and over puds, everybody rated them.
The overall conclusion was that the NC10 was the most desirable device that people wanted.
The full list & conclusion is here:
The Wall of Cool discussion
AndyD (21st January 2009)
Im loving the cool wall lol
We had to go for "Wall of Cool" because "Cool Wall" is apparently TM to the BBC!
Link to the play.com ram Mike?
Well I have to disagree with the wall of cool. I think those little Fizzbooks are great especially in primary school.
Bigger screens on the Samsung. Agree with what you say aout looking the part for primary but still taken with the Samsungs. Have one school who want to go the Fizzbook way and one the Samsung way. Suppose I'll see who's right in the end

The NC10 with 2GB Ram and Win XP Pro is a great bit of kit. I love mine to bits. Not sure how robust they would be in an education environment though.

More information on the current Texas drought and wildfire alerts can be found on the AgriLife Extension Agricultural Drought Task Force website at http://agrilife.tamu.edu/drought/ .
AgriLife Extension district reporters compiled the following summaries:
Central:The region received from 1.3 to 2.5 inches of rain. Runoff filled most stock tanks. Thanks to timely rains throughout January, small grains continued to do well. Winter wheat and winter grasses were also thriving and were being heavily grazed. Soil preparation and fertilizing for row crops was delayed because of wet conditions. Some wheat growers reported thinner stands, while other fields were in more advanced growth stages than normal.
Coastal Bend: The region had light rains, but they were not enough to raise soil-moisture levels for the upcoming crop season. Most farmers were waiting on heavier rains before fertilizing pastures. Producers continued supplemental feeding of livestock with hay and protein. The shortage of hay was a concern to many.
East: As much as 4 inches of rain fell in some parts of the region. Other areas received only scattered showers. Lake, pond and creek levels rose from runoff. Winter forages continued to improve. Producers were preparing fields for spring planting. Calving continued. Feral hog damage continued to be a major problem in many areas.
Far West: With a few exceptions, most counties received a trace to 0.6 inch of a slow rain. The exceptions were Glasscock County with 1 inch and Brewster County reporting as much as 2 inches. Temperatures were moderate, with lows from the 30s to 40s and highs between the upper 60s and lower 70s. Conditions were windy, which raised the danger of wildfire in some areas. Presidio County reported gusts up to 60 mph. The moisture helped green up some winter weeds. Unfortunately, a large portion were toxic varieties, bitterweed and locoweed. Livestock producers continued to feed their way through the winter, but hay was getting harder to find and very expensive when it could be found. Rangeland conditions remained poor. Areas that burned in the summer still showed charred ground with little to no regrowth. Cotton producers applied pre-emergent herbicides in preparation for the planting season. Fields were also being cultivated for chili pepper planting. Wheat looked fair.
North: The region had widespread, heavy rains, with most counties receiving 3 to 6 inches. Most ponds and small lakes were filled to normal levels. Soil-moisture levels were also replenished. The moisture benefited small grains, pastures and land planned for corn planting this spring. Livestock were in fair to good condition. Producers continued heavy supplemental feeding of livestock, with hay prices still very high. Feral hogs continue to be a problem.

Works perfectly and worth it just for the tool. With the included tool you can open your watch without damaging the backing. Also helps to ensure that your watch stays waterproof.
Everything you need in a tight package
Noah Singer
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
You can buy a battery at the store, but with this set you get the necessary (a) tool and (b) replacement cap. Reusing the same cap will increase your chance of water getting in, so it's wise to replace it.

It's works well and not overpriced.Quick installment of the battery.
Does this kit also work for the heart rate...
Steph Grassi
Does this kit also work for the heart rate monitor belt that comes with the T6? I noticed the covers are slightly different between the watch and HR belt, but I'm not sure if they're interchangeable. Mine are too worn out to tell.
Installation Issues Fix!
I ordered the kit for my X6HR and couldn't get it to work. When I put the battery in, all I saw was a smudge/pressure point on the LCD screen by the bottom right hand button, no time or anything displayed.
I read of other people having this problem and having to send their watches into Suunto, with about a 4 week turnaround time, this is NOT NECESSARY!
All you need to do is make sure the battery is placed UNDER the little metal retention piece/clip prior to placing the back on the watch. I thought the battery fit beside the metal piece when I tried to install the battery, and this isn't true. It goes UNDER it.
I felt like a fool when I finally figured it out. Good luck!

What kind of person commits mass homicide in the workplace? The answer may surprise you.
Intent is one of the key distinguishing factors. A domestic assault perpetrator has a single target, a burglar is motivated by financial gain, and an arsonist is focused on property damage. But mass shootings are often a form of attention-seeking behavior.
"A robber generally wishes to remain anonymous, enter and exit quickly, and avoid contact with anyone during the crime. An active shooter, on the other hand, wants to be recognized, create fear and panic, and inflict as much damage as possible," posits Anthony Pizzitola, a certified facility manager and disaster recovery practitioner.
To pinpoint active shooter characteristics, researchers Seungmug Lee and Robert McCrie examined 44 incidences of workplace mass homicides since 1986 (schools were not included). Their 2012 ASIS report, Mass Homicides by Employees in the American Workplace, focused on deaths caused by a single perpetrator who was a current or former employee.
"The disgruntled employee is most likely a white male in his 30s or 40s, may have prior military service, lives alone, and possesses an antisocial or asocial personality," the authors found. "Contrary to general impressions, lethal employees rarely have a violent criminal record and are unlikely to have undergone psychiatric treatment. Further, they are not likely to be drug users."
Mass shooters may also be reported as aggressive, routinely ostracized by coworkers, and struggling with financial difficulties. Only 30% have military service and a scant 15% had a criminal history of violent behavior.
The report also identified these three
red flags:
Job Performance
In many instances, the worker was struggling with job performance or interpersonal problems with colleagues. According to Lee and McCrie, "offenders are often motivated by revenge and anger over job termination, disagreement with job performance evaluation, or long-term arguments with coworkers."
Threatening Communications
Over 40% of mass shooters had previously made verbal or written threats, yet these exchanges were either ignored or undocumented. "Workers who make threats against others in the workplace should be regarded as risk factors, even months or years after their departure," the report cautions.
Intended Victims
While victims can be chosen indiscriminately, management personnel are frequently targeted. The study found over 65% of workplace homicides involve the death of a supervisor, manager, or employer.
Be aware that the decision to act out isn't a knee-jerk reaction. There is often a trigger event – such as a heated argument, poor review, or termination – that motivates the employee. However, the length of time between the final straw and the mass shooting could be days or months.
"In about half the instances, the worker had been discharged and returned months later to settle a score," the study finds.
Independent studies by the FBI, Secret Service, and Department of Education offer several insights on shootings committed by students. Like their adult counterparts, these students are often male, may be struggling with academic performance, have had conflicts with teachers or peers, and are described as loners.
Beyond these characteristics, however, there are few commonalities among mass shooters. This can make it difficult to weed out an employee or student who's just having a bad day and one who might act on their grievances.
"The fact of the matter is it's not our job as facility managers to psychoanalyze the intentions of employees or identify potential active shooters. We're here to protect the facility and its occupants," says Pizzitola. "Our only responsibility is to prepare the building so the exterior acts as a deterrent and ensure the interior can respond to a critical incident."

2011 Puma Ace Golf Shoe - Mens
Looking for a rock-solid golf shoe go-to? The Ace won't let you down. With an all rubber outsole studded with replaceable Smart Quill spikes and nubs working together to tighten up your traction and stimulate your swing, plus a one-year waterproof warranty and sick-looking medial and lateral PUMA Formstrip, this smart, stylish, sporty shoe is the total package, whether your game is scratch or heavily handicapped.
Smart Quill® Technology Smart Quill® technology features 25 "quills" that are intentionally molded and strategically placed for ultimate traction on each outsole. It's the first golf shoe to hit the course that's customized for the left and right foot. The positioning of these spikes ensures maximum grip, tailored to the left and right-hand shoes, which serve different functions throughout the swing. Smart Quill® technology has the course in mind with unique quill spikes that are green-friendly. Smart Quill® Spikes The latest addition to the Smart Quill® technology family is PUMA's new cleat, designed specifically with all the tenets of the original full foot technology in mind. These removable spikes are created out of three mini "quills" which are directionally positioned specifically for the ultimate traction throughout the swing. Each Quill cleat locks into place with Fast Twist technology by Pride, and each receptacle on PUMA's shoes
Golf's always had its own distinctive style. At PUMA, we're here to give that style a fashionably shod kick in the back nine. We're reinventing golf style for a new breed of player - one who demands the highest performance and comfort, but who also wants to make a more daring statement than your average, pleated, wrinkle-free khakis will allow. We believe that in golf, as in pretty much every other aspect of life, when you look better, you feel better. And when you feel better, you play better. And when you're playing better, you throw a lot fewer clubs in the lake, and have a lot more fun instead. And the way we see it, no matter what sport you're playing, fun is always the name of the game.

Ahhh ... Turkey Day. I'll be having salami, but still. It's good to have a day dedicated to being thankful. I ...
Whoa! Cat (wife) just awokened. I hear her in our bedroom, awakenizing. (It's 6:30 a.m.)
So, cool. She has the next ELEVEN DAYS OFF!! WHOO-FREAKIN'-WHOOO!!
And now I'm outta here, cuz ... awakeninzed wife.
Quicky, though, here are the things I'm thankful for that are popping into my head as I type them:
The power and majesty of a God that galvanizes and supports all life.
These socks I'm wearing. Quite thick.
Music. (Cat, up and at 'em, just turned on one of our old GRP Jazz Christmas albums).
Indoor plumbing. (It's cold.)
That my writing allows me not to have to get a real job.
That I'm healthy.
That (even better) Cat's healthy.
That I'm not in jail. You cannot beat not being in jail.
That this is the 30th Holiday Season that Cat and I have been together. THIRTY!!
What is the deal with time, anyway?
I'm very thankful that I have this way of communicating with people that, even though I don't actually know them know them, I nonetheless feel fully with me, every day.
Love to you all today!

Snowden seeks asylum in Iceland
Iceland has been informally contacted by an intermediary who stated that NSA leaker, former CIA contractor Edward Snowden, wants asylum in the Nordic island-state, Reuters reports.

With 57,200 uninsured people in Washington, D.C., Communities Are Responding Everyday (C.A.R.E.) convened a free clinic in the city's convention center on Aug. 4. Mega clinics are a last-resort safety net and seek to connect patients with local community resources including other free clinics, Federally Qualified Health Centers and safety-net hospitals. "We look at ourselves as part of the solution," said Nicole Lamoureux of the National Association of Free Clinics (NAFC). Organizers are holding clinics around the country; most of the expanded coverage under health care reform won't take effect until 2014.

"Probably the single most perfect book I encountered in 2013" – Garth Risk Hallberg
It's hard to think of another figure in the history of weltliteratur whose catalogue has made it so quickly to these shores, or whose literary executors have been speedier – not to say more punctilious – in publishing his archive. Though Bolaño's imagination seems inexhaustible, it's hard not to greet the news of yet another "lost work" or "early work" or "lost early work" with fatigue. (Or even, given the overlap between certain editions, suspicion.)
"Are you experiencing any of the following: (1) A thirst for palinka? (2) A yearning for Budapest, though the closest you've ever come is the Hungarian Pastry Shop in Manhattan? (3) An urge to deploy diacritical marks over every other vowel? If so, you may be suffering from Hungarophilia."
Ghosts of Budapest by Garth Risk Hallberg
"I did something crazy this year. I blew half of a freelancing check on the complete, seven-volume edition of William T. Vollmann's 3,000 page essay on violence, Rising Up and Rising Down. (What can I say? It was either that or diapers for my children.)"
I can no longer remember the precise distinction between the uncertainty principle and the observer principle, but one way or another, I've started to detect a feedback loop involving the Year in Reading series and the reading life it purports to document. When I dashed off my first entry, in 2005 (can that be right?), it was purely in the spirit of a report. But by 2012, even in January, February, and March, I found myself picking up a given book and asking: Is this a contender for the series? Is there any chance this is going to be the best thing I read this year? And if not, back onto the shelves it went.
Our own Garth Risk Hallberg has a story in Prairie Schooner's Summer Issue, and they interviewed him about the way he writes.
"De La Pava's indifference to the prevailing trends of the marketplace helps to account for the number of rejections he would receive from literary agents (88, according to The Chicago Tribune.) But it's also what's so alarming about his novel's close brush with obscurity. It suggests that traditional publishing has become woefully backward-looking, trying to shape the novel of tomorrow based on what happened yesterday. Could A Naked Singularity have benefited from a good editor? Of course, but books like this — singular, urgent, commanding — are supposed to be what good editors live for."
- Outside the Ring: A Profile of Sergio De La Pava by Garth Risk Hallberg
A self-published magnum opus was, to say the least, an unusual project for a prestigious university press. It had to pass muster with the board of faculty members and administrators that signs off on each book published. But, thanks in large measure to statements of support from the novelist Brian Evenson and critics including Steven Moore, the press decided to acquire the rights to the book. From there, it was only a hop, skip, and a jump to the window of my local Barnes & Noble, where I passed it just this week.
It turns out that my sense of the "classiness" of the English novel is like my sense of the monolithic "classiness" of English elocution — that I suffer from a kind of cognitive foreshortening, wherein important distinctions disappear. In fact, what the English novel is overwhelmingly about, in class terms, is not the hereditary nobility but the middle classes: the downwardly mobile landowners, the upwardly mobile bourgeoisie.
Source: themillions.com
In the house where I grew up, the child of English teachers, PBS' Masterpiece Theatre connoted "classiness" in at least two senses. On one hand, its filmed adaptations of classic novels added a touch of literary refinement (and sometimes even of eat-your-vegetables self-improvement) to a television schedule larded with junk food. On the other, it offered a place for us churchmice to indulge our fascination with "class" in the baser sense: idle wealth and posh intrigues and butlers who ring for tea at three.

For the first time since his arrest on September 20, 49ers outside linebacker Aldon Smith spoke with the media in front of his locker on Tuesday. He was activated to San Francisco's 53-man roster last Thursday.
The last time Smith was on the field was the last time the 49ers lost a game. The defense has persevered without Smith as the team has won all five-games he has missed. He still leads the team with 4.5 sacks this season.
Here are some highlights from his comments to the media:
I've gotten a lot of support, from my family, friends, the organization, teammates and everything. It really says a lot that people care about me outside the field, that they care about me as a person… We could all look into our lives and find something that we need to work on. I've taken my time and I've done that.
It's been a process since I left. I'm getting there. Every day is a step closer to where I want to be.
Of course I didn't want to be away from the sport I love, but it was good for me to get my mind together and work, to get to the positive spot I want to be at it.
I've grown a lot and I'm still growing. I came into the league on the young side of things, and I've just taken every free chance I've gotten to get better and grow.
Being away from my teammates and the guys here in the locker room was difficult, but it worked out. I was able to get away and clear my head.
[Related: Video of Aldon Smith Speaking With Media]
Other facts learned from Smith's comments:
- Smith was able to see some of the 49ers games while he was in recovering.
- He was able to "get a real good workout in a couple of days a week" while away from the team.
- On playing this weekend, he said, "It's crossing my mind. I'm taking it one day at a time, getting back here being around the guys."
- Smith said he didn't speak with NFL commissioner Roger Goodell before returning to the 49ers last week. However, he has talked with the league and that the expectations are to make sure "this doesn't happen again."
- Outside linebacker Ahmad Brooks said he has been impressed with Smith's workouts this week.

Warren started two runs that helped Ole Miss hold off streaky Southern Miss (8-5), including a personal 7-1 run that straddled halftime and featured a 3-pointer from 30 feet as time expired in the first half.
Ole Miss held Southern Miss without a point in the final 6 1/2 minutes to break open an entertaining back-and-forth game.
The Rebels' 12th straight win set the school record for consecutive victories to start the season. The Rebels started the 1936-37 and 2000-01 seasons with 11 straight wins. Both years, the Rebels finished with 20 or more victories.
The win also tied the school record for consecutive wins in a season, set in 1926.
No. 25 Rhode Island 92, E. Michigan 75
CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas (AP) - Will Daniels and Jimmy Baron scored 18 points each to lead Rhode Island past Eastern Michigan in the Islander Invitational.
The muscular, 6-foot-8 Daniels did most of his damage inside for the Rams (12-1), who were playing their first game as a Top 25 team since the 1998-99 season. Baron scored from the outside, shooting 4-of-9 from 3-point range.
Zane Gray had 12 points for Eastern Michigan (4-5), which has lost four of its past five games. Carlos Medlock and Jesse Bunkley chipped in 10 apiece for the Eagles.

TV Alert: "Rizzoli & Isles" finale goes out with a bang, bang, bang
Lesbian Subtext Lovers: I have glimpsed our future and all I can say is, go back! (What? No Say Anything fans here? Fine, go ask your older sister.) But seriously, I have seen the Rizzoli & Isles finale and know tonight will be a bittersweet experience for fans. Sweet because, seriously, how many times will Angie Harmon and Sasha Alexander touch? Bitter because, really, over so soon?
Rizzoli & Isles has been the breakout cable hit of the summer. It is the No. 1–rated basic cable show on TV right now, beating longstanding champ The Closer for the title. And it has already been renewed for a 13-episode second season. But that means a whole year between tonight's episode and fresh new subtext to obsess over. How will we cope? Is there a support group?
The good news? Maura Isles and Jane Rizzoli show no signs of stopping their non-stop Twitter conversation. The official TNT character tweeters have been chatting up a storm with each other. And let's just say they aren't exactly playing down the lesbian subtext. Witness:
Even better, the stars themselves seem aware of the show's rabid lesbian fanbase. Sasha has tweeted fans about the "Rizzles" shipper fandom.
The finale itself is intense. No, I mean it, intense. And there's a lot of shooting – a lot of shooting, hence its title "When the Gun Goes Bang, Bang, Bang." The official synopsis reads:
After an undercover cop working a narcotics-smuggling sting is shot dead, the killers next turn their sites on Boston homicide headquarters, leaving Jane, Maura and Frankie Jr. trapped in a fight for survival on their home turf. It's a situation that will force Maura to challenge herself like never before.
Have I mentioned it is intense? And that there is a year until the show returns again? Quick, someone come hold me.
Rizzoli & Isles season finale airs at 10 p.m. Eastern and Pacific on TNT. And be sure to come back here tomorrow for a fresh, steaming Subtext Recap of the finale.

These pants are long-lasting and fit great. With a pair of Dickies I can go out after work and not worry about changing. Bought a pair for my kid too and he loves them. The only negative I can think of is that they do run a little small. Other than that, they've been great.

Re: The Cycling discussion thread
Yeah, i also enjoy ITT's, they can be very deciseful. The race of truth is clearly apt. Each of the four will have to perform above average either to make or limit seconds won and lost. I also think Purito is expecting a better TT considering the course, his improvement, and form.
I still fancy Froome to do very well here. It seems whenever questions have been asked about one of the 4 they have been answered. He's in super TT form. If that were to suddenly evade him somewhat i would definitely be very worried about his shape heading into the last week, although i already am. This should be his major strength over the others, Bertie excepted, who even as an unknown quantity in some ways should at the least not get seriously dropped. Yet, we've seen some suprising things already, we could see another somewhere in the TT, it's unlikely each will be at their very best, and a good chance major time swings will happen.
With the bonuses, they are telling so far and will play a part in the end. I think Purito/Piti have 28 each, Bertie/Froome with 4 and 8, Vuelta's site isn't showing results for some reason. That should all change with differing stages, and will not look the same when/if the top 4 are not all contesting them. Still, an interesting indicator of how the race has been contested so far, with the momentum surely going to swing back the other way to a large degree with the progressive climbing. It couldn't be any better poised ATM.
As for tomorrow, from what i can find the odds are firmly backing Degenkolb again, there could be some serious money made from the guys in the break. Hard to predict which one obviously, but it seems many bookies haven't accounted for the fact it's a TT tomorrow and we're coming off a rest day so maybe the pack won't be riding so hard?

The director, Tom Hooper said 'Eddie have you ever been on a horse?' I said 'Yes.' […] It was then that I realised a big part of the cliche of actors lying in auditions is that you should probably try to do the thing you said you can do before filming starts. Anyway, I nearly killed people as the horse galloped off at a hundred miles an hour after I gave it the slightest nudge. Tom came out with his megaphone and shouted, 'You're a fucking liar, Redmayne!'

Did you know that 40% of Fortune 500 companies actively outsource in-house functions? Did you also know that IT outsourcing is the largest (28%) among all outsourced activities?
These are not shocking statistics but on the contrary only indicate a trend. It is a fact that outsourcing is a proven business strategy, whether it is done within the country or to an offshore location like India.
Most companies want to focus on their core functions and hence the need for outsourcing arises. In this article, I will discuss the top 8 reasons why companies outsource their IT functions
8. Many companies work with an offshore partner to obtain a 24 hour development cycle to reduce the time to market for their software development efforts.
There is roughly a 12 hour time zone difference between USA and India. When companies in United States outsource to Indian companies, it is possible practically to allocate work in the evening (US time) and get it done by morning because while it is night in the US, it is daytime in India where work can continue.
7. To gain access to project management expertise not available in-house.
6. To accelerate a project in order to meet deadlines by hiring skilled programmers for a short term project.
It is a common situation in software development that additional scope of work needs to be completed within shorter deadlines. For such a scenario, hiring full time regular staff just for a few months does not make sense. Therefore, many organizations hire the required number of developers for a project from an offshore Indian company.
5. Several companies institutionalize outsourcing as a part of their business objectives to accelerate company re-organization
This is known as strategic outsourcing and is done when the company sees long term benefits in this arrangement and finds a reliable offshore partner.
4. To improve customer or business focus by using outsourcing to improve operational efficiencies
3. To free up internal resources by outsourcing non-core IT functions.
If a company has a limited number of IT resources, it needs to deploy them for doing critical tasks rather than routine maintenance and support. Therefore, organizations tend to outsource non-critical functions.
2. Many companies work with offshore partners who bring in specialized IT expertise to supplement in-house skill-sets to gain access to IT skills not available in-house.
Countries like India produce a large number of skilled IT resources each year. Mature education systems and increasingly lucrative employment opportunities within the country in the IT sector attract a lot of talent. Many organizations in the US therefore scout for such talent for their projects.
1. To reduce or control costs of IT Since the dollar exchange rate is high for currencies like the Indian rupee, and combined with the fact that the government would like to maintain such a situation, it becomes possible for US companies to gain access to comparable IT skill sets and resources at much lower expenses than within the USA.
Whether outsourcing is a project based decision or a strategic decision for a company, there are many benefits to be derived from this practice.

California biologist seeks volunteer bee-counters
A California biologist who is conducting a kind of bee-census across the U.S. and Canada called the Great Sunflower Project is looking for volunteer field workers.
Gretchen LeBuhn, an associate professor at San Francisco State University with a fascination for bees, is studying bee colony collapse and an apparent decline in honey bee populations across North America, and for a project that big, she says, she needs help.
LeBuhn's volunteers are required only to plant a sunflower in their yard and observe the nature and behavior of the bees the pollen-rich plants attract. Those signing up get a free packet of sunflower seeds along with instructions for proper bee monitoring.
She told the Orange County Register newspaper in an interview that she already has some 60,000 helpers but needs more.
"Sunflowers are a nice, big canvas," LeBuhn told the Register. "You can look at bees that come and stay there a little while. In watching them, you really learn about whats out there."
LeBuhn, who has also been profiled in the San Franciso Examiner and Sunset magazine, posts regular updates on the project on her Web site ("The Buzz: Pollinator Week!") and will ultimately collect all the data for her study.
But in the meantime, she seems to be quite, um, happy just watching the little black and gold buzzers.
"I sort of think bees are magical," LeBuhn told the Register. "I like sitting out here with my cup of coffee for 20 minutes, watching bees."
wow, i have seen numerous dead/dying bees in monterey county this week. seems a bit odd at this time of year.
