Desktop auditing is crucial to avoid employer liability. Recently, my firm conducted an automated worldwide desktop audit for a major client. Additionally, we have received other inquiries and have seen a general increase in interest for this type of auditing service. The interest seems to be driven by two key issues: 1) the need to comply with software licensing agreements, and 2) the need to avoid liability for employee downloading of copyrighted materials.
Executives have generally understood their responsibilities under software licensing agreements, and most recognize in some abstract way that they are liable when employees install pirated software or media content on company computers. Under the concept of vicarious liability of the U.S. Copyright Act, an employer is liable for acts committed by its employees when those acts are within the scope of their employment duties. Therefore, most companies have policies in place regarding acceptable use of company computers.
But why have these needs suddenly become "front-burner" topics with many companies? Although executives know of these risks, until recently most have not done much about them because enforcement had been lax. Software vendors would occasionally audit large firms to ensure they purchased sufficient licenses. But it was nearly impossible to find a case where a company was actually sued for an employee's downloading of copyrighted materials. But the times are changing. Software vendors and the entertainment industry both are cracking down hard on non-compliance and piracy. The risk to companies -- large and small -- is real.
Software publishers stepping up audits
By some estimates, 24% of installed software in the U.S. is not licensed. According to the Software and Information Industry Association (SIIA), the worldwide cost of software piracy to vendors in 1999 was over $12.2 billion. With the software industry no longer enjoying the double digit growth of the 1990s, that's a lot of money left on the table. Therefore, vendors are looking to increase revenues by enforcing license agreements and cracking down on pirated software. The Software Publishers Association (SPA), the Business Software Alliance (BSA), and the UK-based Federation Against Software Theft (FAST), are all ramping up enforcement activity as vendors, such as Microsoft, continue to focus on combating non-compliance.
This risk is not limited to large companies. From time to time in the U.S., the BSA announces a piracy truce for small and medium businesses, where companies are encouraged to turn themselves in if they suspect they are harboring unlicensed or counterfeit software. Furthermore, the BSA, the SPA, and some software vendors such as Microsoft, solicit tipsters to anonymously report suspected cases of software piracy. So, even companies that want to be compliant could face an audit based on an anonymous tip from a disgruntled employee.
Entertainment industry cracking down on piracy
Media and entertainment companies, likewise, face loss of revenue due to illegal file-sharing. The industry has already shut down Napster, an early peer-to-peer file sharing service, and it is now turning its attention to other services, such as Kazaa and Morpheus, which are used to trade copyrighted materials, such as movies, music, software, and games. They are aggressively targeting Web sites that offer media for download as well as their Internet service providers. Just this week the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) got a federal judge to order Verizon to turn over the identity of a subscriber suspected of making available unauthorized copies of several hundred songs. They are also putting pressure on universities. The RIAA is currently sponsoring an educational program with more than 300 universities, claiming a 55% drop in the number of sites on university servers offering illegal downloads.
After the RIAA gets file-sharing services, ISPs, and universities under control, there is only one other place where consumers can easily download illegal content: the workplace. Is there any doubt that corporations with high-speed Internet connections and large networks of desktop computers will be the next target of the entertainment industry?
Therefore, companies need to get desktops under control. To avoid software license non-compliance, companies need to periodically audit license usage. And, to avoid liability for employee actions, companies must demonstrate "reasonable effort" to deter misappropriation or theft of computer software and intellectual property. Efforts should include a clear company policy regarding desktop software and content, consequences for non-compliance, periodic desktop audits, and documentation of the results.by Frank Scavo, 1/22/2003 08:27:00 AM | permalink | e-mail this!

Blocking and tackling in the warehouse
A recent survey of supply chain managers and executives revealed that a surprising number of companies have yet to fully adopt transportation and warehouse management systems (TMS and WMS) and advanced planning and scheduling (APS) systems, and that these systems are only now becoming more broadly accepted.
The study found that only 15 percent of responding companies had fully implemented TMS, while another 10 percent were in the process of implementation. Adoption was somewhat better for WMS, with 35 percent having a WMS in place and another 10 percent in process of implementation. Still the study found that interest in such solutions is high, with an additional 24 percent considering TMS and an additional 35 percent considering WMS.
"We were surprised by how interested people are in those fundamentals — systems that help in the warehouse or that help in the transportation function, for instance," said Thomas Goldsby, assistant professor of marketing and logistics at Ohio State University, who was one of the study's authors. He also said they were surprised that these systems, which he calls "blocking and tackling" technologies of logistics — had not seen broader adoption given the IT spending spree of the late 1990s and the widespread buzz about supply chain collaboration in recent years.
In my opinion, such findings are not surprising to anyone who has actually spent any time among midsize manufacturing and distribution firms. The gap is huge between what vendors offer and what most midsize hard-goods firms have actually implemented. Companies may have back office systems such as accounting, purchasing, and customer order management under control, but out in the warehouse there is still a tremendous opportunity for basic execution systems such as warehouse and transportation management. This should be good news for vendors of such systems, such as EXE, Manhattan Associates, Optum, and Catalyst, as well as the hundreds of niche vendors that offer point solutions in this space.

ROI study is a huge embarrassment for i2. Nucleus Research has just published a study on the return on investment (ROI) for users of i2, a Tier I supply chain management vendor. It found that over half of the companies surveyed have not yet received a positive ROI from their investments in i2 software. The study, based on interviews with companies that i2 touts as references on its own Web site, is bad news for i2. Worse still, Nucleus is freely distributing the report, so anyone even thinking about i2 is going to hear about it, probably from i2's competitors.
The study found several factors contributing to negative ROI:
Adding to the embarrassment, the study found that i2's Web site is overstating the benefits received for specific customers and that i2 continues to reference customers that are no longer using its products.
- Customers buying modules they will never use, due to i2 bundling of products.
- Software license cost based on upfront estimates by i2 of benefits that the client will achieve, resulting in license costs that are simply too high.
- Steep learning curves and long training periods, with average training time of nearly two weeks per user, and super-users requiring up to two months of training.
- Consultants from i2 not sufficiently knowledgeable in their own products.
- Implementation taking longer than estimated in nearly 70 percent of the companies surveyed.
To be fair, many companies have been successful in implementing i2. And, i2 has been targeting the largest organizations with the most complex supply chain problems, a high-risk environment for any technology vendor. Furthermore, customers as well as vendors bear responsibility for the success of any software implementation. Nevertheless, it is impossible to escape the conclusion that in too many cases i2 has been over-promising and under-delivering. As a result, supply chain vendors, including i2, have already adjusted their strategies to simplify their applications, break up sales into more bite-sized pieces, and to focus on more targeted solutions, such as supply chain event management.
The study itself is on the Nucleus Research website. Computerworld has an article with some interesting, if somewhat muted, reaction to the study from i2.by Frank Scavo, 1/13/2003 06:13:00 PM | permalink | e-mail this!

E-learning ROI isn't a slam dunk. Earlier this year, I wrote about a study that found a strong return on investment from e-learning initiatives. I still believe that the business case for e-learning can be strong, but getting the payback takes more effort than vendors of e-learning solutions like to admit.
Achieving e-learning benefits.
First, companies should devote more effort to ensuring that employees actually use the system and learn something. Simply implementing Web-based training is not enough. E-learning is a whole different type of experience than live classroom training. If this fact is not recognized, companies may replace classroom training with e-learning but find that employees are not learning anything.
For example, Web-based training tends to shift responsibility for learning from the trainer to the trainee. E-learning simply requires more self-discipline on the part of the student. One study indicated that only 25% of students who start an e-learning course actually complete it. When Bob goes off to classroom training, he leaves his office and faces a live instructor who, if he or she is any good, holds his attention in the classroom. But when Bob stays at his desk and participates in Web-based training, it's too easy for him to answer the phone or read e-mails on the side. It's also too easy for his manager to pop in with a quick question, or ask him to defer his lesson in order to deal with some crisis. Of course, sometimes the Web-based content is simply boring. Therefore, CIOs and HR professionals must remind themselves that the goal of e-learning is not merely to save training costs, but to more effectively train the workforce. Those responsible for e-learning must continually assess how well learning objectives are being met.
Finding the sweet spot.
Second, decision makers must remind themselves that e-learning is just one element of a comprehensive employee development program. Web-based training is good for some things — it is not good for others.
For example, Web-based training often does not accommodate labs or hands-on exercises as well as classroom training does. I saw this first-hand about a year ago while working with a Fortune 50 technology firm that has already made a huge investment in e-learning. I was helping to manage a program to develop classroom material along with hands-on exercises involving this firm's products. Our charter was to conduct a series of instructor-led classes, refine the material, and then convert it for Web-based delivery. Although we could see how to translate the lecture material for the Web, the courseware authors (all highly experienced system engineers) could not imagine how the lab exercises — where most of the real learning occurs, could be delivered over the Web. Therefore, the best approach for many technical subjects would be a combination of Web-based training with in-person labs or practical exercises.
Web-based training, or distance learning, is not going to replace all classroom training. More likely, it will be useful for basic subjects that must be taught to a large pool of employees, such as new employee orientation, EEOC training, HIPAA compliance, or basic user training during an ERP or CRM rollout. It also may be useful to cover prerequisite subjects prior to classroom training, or to provide follow-up. Training professionals have already discovered that computer-based training is useful for measuring the effectiveness of any kind of training. Nevertheless, for some subject matter, classroom training is simply the better vehicle. The challenge for companies will be to find the best combination of training formats to develop employee skills most cost-effectively.
Per-user Pricing Can Be Costly.
Finally, buyers should check their assumptions on the cost side of the equation. E-learning solutions can be expensive. Vendors often price their solutions based on total employee headcount or total named users. But this assumes that a large percentage of the employee population will adopt Web-based training. Companies that have signed up for such deals often find that actual adoption, or use of the system, lags far behind the total number of seats the company has licensed.
Typically, a lack of system usage does not play into building a solid business case for most other types of IT investments. For example, end users of a newly implemented transactional system, such as ERP, have little choice when it comes to using the new system. Because the end users can't do their jobs apart from the ERP system, assumptions regarding the user count in an ERP business case tend to be accurate. However, employees or entire departments can choose not to take advantage of an e-learning system. Therefore, when building a business case for an e-learning initiative, buyers should try to structure the deal to specify a conservative base number of users, with terms that allow additional users to be added on a per user basis.
Vendors like to justify the cost of their e-learning systems by pointing to the huge savings in travel costs that will result if much of the live classroom training in central locations is replaced with distance learning. But, as noted, this benefit may be overstated. I believe that there is already a backlash developing against unreasonable expectations for e-learning.
I still believe that the business case for e-learning is strong. I also believe that we are still early in the life cycle of adoption, as companies learn how to leverage the unique strengths of Web-based training. But ultimately, it has to be much more than simply avoiding travel costs. It comes down to how much knowledge is effectively transferred and to what extent employee skills are actually enhanced. By focusing on the objectives, as well as the cost savings, executives can achieve a more reliable business case for e-learning.
E-Learning vendors.
For companies considering development of an e-learning capability, there are dozens of niche vendors offering solutions, some on a license basis, others on a hosted basis. Some of the current vendors include Click2Learn, Docent, Element K, GeoLearning, Intralearn, KnowledgePlanet, NETg, Pathlore, ReadyGo, Saba, Skillsoft, and Skillview Technologies. In addition, many of the enterprise application vendors, such as SAP, PeopleSoft, J.D. Edwards, Oracle, and Siebel have introduced e-learning capabilities as part of their suite of products.by Frank Scavo, 1/11/2003 07:54:00 AM | permalink | e-mail this!

Aberdeen: new poster child for sloppy research
Earlier this month, Aberdeen Group released a study that claims "the poster child for security glitches is no longer Microsoft; this label now belongs to open source and Linux software suppliers." However, a closer look at Aberdeen's research indicates that it may be more appropriate to focus the spotlight on Aberdeen itself.
Aberdeen found that:"Open source software, commonly used in many versions of Linux, Unix, and network routing equipment, is now the major source of elevated security vulnerabilities for IT buyers. Security advisories for open source and Linux software accounted for 16 out of the 29 security advisories — about one of every two advisories — published for the first 10 months of 2002 by CERT (Computer Emergency Response Team). Keeping pace with Linux and open source software are traditional Unix-based software products, which have been affected by 16 of the 29 — about half of all — advisories to date during 2002. During this same time, vulnerabilities affecting Microsoft products numbered seven, or about one in four of all advisories."
If true, this is a stunning turnabout. It is common knowledge that Microsoft has had much bad press surrounding security of its products, such as deficiencies in IIS. Organizations with mission-critical security requirements have traditionally implemented open source products for systems exposed to the Internet, such as Unix or Linux. So, if Aberdeen's analysis is correct, the trend has been reversed, with Microsoft's efforts over the past year in "trustworthy computing" paying off to make Microsoft now more secure than Unix/Linux and open source in general.
However, Aberdeen's analysis is faulty. Because CERT advisories are public information, it is a simple matter to look at the raw data behind Aberdeen's conclusions and see where Aberdeen erred. David Kelsheimer, network services practice director for Strativa, assisted me in dissecting Aberdeen's conclusions. Based on our analysis of the 2002 CERT advisories, we can summarize the problems with Aberdeen's study as follows:
1. Aberdeen counts CERT advisories, ignoring multiple vulnerabilities per advisory. This is like counting the number of guests arriving at a party by counting the automobiles they come in, regardless of the number of passengers in each car. For example, CA-2002-09 describes 10 separate vulnerabilities in Microsoft's IIS, but Aberdeen counts them as one advisory. Thus, by Aberdeen's reckoning, in the first 10 months of 2002, 16 out of the 29 security advisories are for open source/Linux, and 7 out of 29 are for Microsoft.
However, when we count based on the number of vulnerabilities within the advisories, the score is 18 for open source/Linux and 24 for Microsoft. We categorize another 34 as "other" or cross-platform vulnerabilities, because they are difficult to attribute to Microsoft or Linux/open source. (E-mail me at the address in the right column if you would like a copy of our worksheet.)
2. CERT advisories are not an adequate sample. CERT itself has said as much, in response to Aberdeen's study. CERT's comments were reported in an InternetWeek article, which said,
"CERT believes Aberdeen drew too much from its numbers. The organization doesn't draw any conclusions from its advisories on the vulnerability of open-source software vs. Microsoft or any other seller of proprietary applications. Instead of comparisons, the group focuses on identifying and studying security problems it considers most serious based on CERT's own metrics. That covers about 20 percent of all known vulnerabilities, said Shawn Hernan, senior member of the CERT technical staff."
If Aberdeen were interested in a more complete sample, it could have looked at the complete database of CERT vulnerabilities, which lists over 3,000 vulnerabilities for the first ten months of 2002. The fact that it didn't is puzzling.
3. Comparing Microsoft with "open source/Linux" is not a fair comparison. As one correspondent to SecurityFocus pointed out,"…to take a listing of vulnerabilities from CERT (not a comprehensive list by any means!) and say that Linux is less secure because there are more open source advisories is laughable. There are more types of open source software out there, than there are software packages from Microsoft. To attribute open source flaws to Linux is like blaming Microsoft for the holes in AOL Instant Messenger."
4. Aberdeen fails to note other problems with the use of CERT data. For example, CERT only reports vulnerabilities that are confirmed by the software developer. Because of the nature of open source, vulnerabilities tend to get reported and confirmed more transparently for open source than for closed source products, such as those of Microsoft, which has the option of not disclosing vulnerabilities which it finds and patches itself in the next release. Second, CERT issues advisories only for those vulnerabilities with the potential for the widest impact on the Internet. As one correspondent to OSOpinion pointed out,"Since a large percentage of Internet infrastructure is based on open source software such as BIND, sendmail, and Apache, it makes sense that security flaws in these products would be considered serious, while flaws in Microsoft products may not be counted because they have much less of an impact. A security flaw in Microsoft Word may be bad, but it does not have the potential to bring down much of the Internet or compromise the integrity of millions of dollars in e-commerce."
Aberdeen's failure to properly use CERT data can only have two explanations: either Aberdeen researchers did not realize the shortcomings of such data, or worse, they had a conclusion they wanted to reach and searched for data to help them reach that conclusion. If Aberdeen's research is so poor when based on public data, which can be independently verified, how can we trust its research when it develops the data itself and does not release it in its raw form?by Frank Scavo, 1/01/2003 08:51:00 AM | permalink | e-mail this!

For those of who had aired doubts about the legitimacy of Lance Armstrong's success, it is tempting to say "I told you so". To wonder what those Armstrong supporters who flooded our in-boxes - sometimes with foul invective - think now. To ask if their brains have finally caught up with the peloton of truth.
So convincing is the evidence released by the US Anti-Doping Agency, surely only those who stay up on Christmas night hoping Santa will bring a new Malvern Star down the chimney retain any doubt Armstrong's seven Tour de France "victories" were tainted. That the compelling story of the cancer-stricken champion rising from his bed to conquer the world is a fractured fairytale. Discredited by the illegal drugs and blood transfusions systematically administered by Armstrong and his cohorts.
But, thumbing the lowlights of USADA's 200 page report, there is no more joy to be found than if it was revealed Rod Laver had more than just Brylcreem in his medicine cabinet. Only murky detail. Such as the money trail leading to the aptly named Italian doctor Michele Ferrari, whose peddling of illicit substances, it is claimed, was instrumental to the incredible manner in which Armstrong pedalled a pushbike.
USADA boasts it has exposed "the most sophisticated, professionalised and successful doping program that sport has ever seen". Perhaps so. Although such hyperbole plays, unnecessarily, into the hands of the dwindling band of true-believers clinging to the now unfathomable belief their hero is the victim of a bureaucratic witch hunt.
In the latest desperate act of denial, Armstrong's attorney, Tim Herman, launched a pre-emptive strike before the USADA evidence was released, describing the case as "a one-sided hatchet job - a taxpayer-funded tabloid piece rehashing old, disproved, unreliable allegations based largely on axe-grinders, serial perjurers, coerced testimony, sweetheart deals and threat-induced stories".
Of course, pressure would have been brought to bear on witnesses, such as George Hincapie, the US Postal Service team lieutenant who admitted his guilt while implicating Armstrong. Just as prosecutors in any investigation exert the full weight of their powers. But 25 witnesses colluding in a conspiracy to lay the blame on Armstrong? What would they have to gain if the strongest drug Armstrong had taken in the Alps was a headache tablet?
Inevitably, the more a cheat pushes back against the accusations, the greater the humiliation if they are proven. Armstrong and his lawyers have used every club in the bag. They have claimed victimisation of various kinds - including by French journalists supposedly jealous of American success. They have belittled government agencies and branded their accusers liars. Most shamefully, Armstrong has used his cancer charity, and his own story of cancer survival, to create confusion among the naive and the slavishly devoted who fail to distinguish the drug cheat from the great benefactor.
Now the time has come - and perhaps even gone - for Armstrong to own up. He should have faced the music came when his seven Tour de France titles were taken away. Then, you might still have considered his human frailty. Now, Armstrong would be considered a man only willing to tell the truth when clubbed over the head with 1000 pages of sworn testimony.
As USADA head Travis T. Tygart claimed, the 15 cyclists who provided sworn statements have the chance to be "forgiven and embraced". "Lance Armstrong was given the same opportunity to come forward and be part of the solution. He rejected it."
If there is a public admission, don't expect it to reek of sincerity. As the likes of Tiger Woods, Serena Williams and Alan Jones have demonstrated, in the celebrity age you get plenty of mea, but rarely much culpa, when prominent people are forced to say sorry.
Coincidentally, this week, the spring carnival's main events begin. Over the new few weeks we will admire, and even ascribe human qualities, to the grandiosely titled "equine athletes". But, should it be revealed the Melbourne Cup winner was fuelled by something other than hay, at least we will know the competitor was not complicit.
As for Armstrong, the USADA report provides the gruesome bottom line. "Armstrong and his co-conspirators sought to achieve their ambitions through a massive fraud now more fully exposed. So ends one of the most sordid chapters in sports history."

of the undertaking and foi in no part of the actual labor of digging the canal the 90,000,000 it is not believed will anything like complete the vast work there will probably be a canal built there at

I loved being a part of the IGNITE presentations at the ASAE Great Ideas Conference and other events. The enthusiasm for different content delivery approaches was great.
But I experience a slight unease and deja vu as I see some conference planners rush to add IGNITE, Pecha Kucha, or TED-style talks to their conference schedules. Here is why.
Years ago when Open Space first got mainstream attention, everyone wanted to try it. Often, however, what people introduced as Open Space was really some inadequately structured time tacked on to a conference or included as part of a workshop. It had little to do with the true spirit and principles of Open Space, nor did it use its methodology. As a result, some participants had unsatisfying encounters with what they thought was the Open Space meeting technology when they actually had not experienced it at all.
Meeting professionals, presenters, and facilitators must beware of format fixation or fetish: using a format for format's sake. Not all learning formats or discussion processes are best suited for all content or every meeting or conference.
- Not every webinar has to include polling.
- Not every panel discussion has to include presentation segments from the panelists.
- Not every general session has to include a keynote speaker.
- Not every conference has to include breakout sessions.
At minimum we must consider if the format is appropriate for the participants, the content, and the overall learning experience we are designing. We also need to examine if our intended use reflects the format's true methodology and principles, or if what we are planning is really "in name only." If the latter, we shouldn't use the name. Showing a limited number of slides for a limited amount of time does not fully equate to an IGNITE or Pecha Kucha experience.
Shiny new technologies or formats will always catch our eye, and we most definitely should be looking for them and experimenting. But choosing to adopt or apply them needs to serve the learning experience we are trying to create and the needs of the participants we seek to engage. Otherwise we do a disservice to ourselves, the participants, and ultimately to the format or technology itself.

Miranda Lambert, Dierks Bentley to Present at 2012 Grammys
With the 2012 Grammy Awards fast approaching, we're learning more every day about who will take the iconic stage to host, perform, present and (hopefully) win. The Recording Academy announced today that Miranda Lambert and Dierks Bentley are confirmed presenters for this year's awards show. The two country stars will be joined by Drake and Gwyneth Paltrow, with more presenters to be announced in the coming weeks.
Lambert and Bentley aren't the only country megastars who will be hitting the stage on Feb. 12. Taylor Swift has been seen in recent photos and video clips filming new promos for the biggest night in music with this year's host, rapper LL Cool J. With an easygoing charm, the two artists from vastly different genres play easily off each other in the promo spots, filmed by a giant version of the signature gold gramophone.
Swift herself is up for three Grammys this year: Best Country Solo Performance and Best Country Song for 'Mean,' as well as Best Country Album for 'Speak Now.' This is in addition to her four past wins. Coming back to the Grammys stage for the first time since 2010, the starlet will also be performing during the live telecast.
Joining Swift, Jason Aldean is also up for three awards this year: Best Country Solo Performance in 'Dirt Road Anthem,' Best Country Duo/Group Performance for 'Don't You Wanna Stay' (with Kelly Clarkson) and Best Country Album for 'My Kinda Party.'

Digitalis Education Solutions has launched what it's claiming is the smallest portable planetarium currently available, the Digitarium Iota.
"Extremely compact, lightweight, and powerful, the Digitarium Iota makes it easier than ever for one person to transport, set up, and teach with a high resolution portable digital planetarium system," according to a company news release.
Designed for domes as large as 20 feet in diameter, the Iota projects a circle 1,200 pixels across and can present any fulldome video in addition to starscapes.
The company also sells inflatable domes and fans to deploy them. A full kit, including the planetarium, dome and inflating fan, will fit in a subcompact car, according to information released by Digitalis.

Lockdown is supposed to be TNA's second biggest show of the year. Instead, in front of a mostly dead crowd in Cincinnati, TNA delivered a complete dud. The show featured as many instances of bare rear-ends as it did tolerable matches (two) and continued a streak of disappointing TNA pay-per-view efforts.
As has been the case in four out of seven Lockdown pay-per-views, Lethal Lockdown headlined the show featuring the rivalry between Fortune and Immortal.
Kazarian and Abyss open the match in a three-minute segment. Kazarian takes some punishment but hits a head scissors off the top rope with 60 seconds left on the clock. He pushes Abyss into the cage and then drop kicks him in the back into the cage. Kazarian pushing Abyss's head against the cage as time expires and Matt Hardy enters the cage. Two minute man advantage now for Immortal.
Hardy locks in the Ice Pick as Abyss puts the boots to Kazarian. Hardy lets him out and the 2-on-1 beatdown commences until Daniels enters the cage to absolutely zero reaction. He's rolling, though. BME for Abyss. He drops Hardy with a knee. Now Daniels and Kazarian double teaming Abyss. Crowd now chanting "We want Flair." Daniels locks in a submission as Flair enters the cage. He lights Kazarian up with a chop and breaks up Daniels' submission and lights him up.
The 3-on-2 edge working in favor of Immortal right now. Flair pulling out all the tricks on Kazarian while Hardy works over Daniels. James Storm takes a sip of beer, comes in, spits it in Abyss's face and hits the Codebreaker. Backstabber for Hardy. Storm takes a long drink of beer as Flair begs off. Storm flips him the bird and breaks the bottle over his head. Flair, as you might've guessed, is bleeding. Storm grates Flair's face in the cage. Fortune is rolling now. Flair's pants are ripped and his tank top is off. Now Flair's rear-end is hanging out. The buzzer can't come soon enough and Bully Ray is in, rounding out Immortal.
Hardy lands three straight leg drops on Daniels as Flair pulls his pants back up. Kazarian takes a chop from Flair. Robert Roode is pacing outside the ring, ready to enter. Hardy slingshots Kazarian into the middle rope. Flair with closed fists to Storm. Crowd counting it down now. They want Roode in. Here he comes.
Roode is on fire, hitting a jumping neckbreaker on AByss. Flair with chops on Roode but he gets reversed and Roode lays about five chops into him and follows it up the backdrop. Beer Money with a double suplex on Bully Ray and the cage top finally starts to lower.
Now the weapons are in play and we've gone to an unnecessary split-screen. Abyss gets knocked right through the cage door and to the floor. Daniels goes after him with a trash can lid. Now Hardy is climbing to the top and Daniels follows him up there. We hear Flair screaming in the ring but don't see what's happening. Daniels goes for Angel's Wings but Hardy nearly backdrops him off the top of the cage. Daniels recovers from hanging on the side of the cage and comes back up only to take the Twist of Hate.
Flair is bleeding profusely. Storm charges him but Flair has a Kendo stick and hits him with it. Flair, though, turns around into a Double R spinebuster. Now Daniels is back to his feet and comes off the top of the cage with a crossbody onto Abyss and Hardy on the walkway. Wow!
In the ring, Bully Ray going to work with a Kendo stick on all of Fortune. Daniels takes a shot right to the head and is bleeding. Bully Ray is badmouthing Daniels about what he did to AJ Styles when Styles' music hits and he hits the ring, sending Ray into the cage. Pele for Ray. Flair comes up and tries to attack Styles from behind, but he's cut off by Roode, who applies a Fujiwara armbar and Flair has to tap.
All five members of Fortune celebrate in the ring with Styles letting Bully Ray have it one more time with a trash can as we go off the air.
TNA's next pay-per-view is Sacrifice on May 15.
Tonight's show emanates from US Bank Arena in Cincinnati, Ohio. Mike Tenay and Taz are your hosts and all of tonight's matches are contested inside a steel cage.
Match #1 - X-Division Escape Match - Chris Sabin (Detroit, Mich.) vs. Robbie E. (Seaside Heights, NJ) vs. Jeremy Buck (Los Angeles, Calif.) vs. Max Buck (Los Angeles, Calif.) vs. Amazing Red (Brooklyn, NY) vs. Jay Lethal (Elizabeth, NJ) vs. Brian Kendrick (Venice, Calif.) vs. Suicide (Parts Unknown)
In this match, it's pin or submission until the final two where it's escape the cage.
Max Buck wants no part of Jeremy Buck early on and tags out. Jeremy brings in Suicide and shortly after, he is pinned by Robbie E.
Suicide eliminated
Sabin and Lethal team up and send Robbie E flying into the cage, although his hair might've taken the brunt of it. This match is just chaos despite being tag rules. Then Red eliminates Lethal with a spinning sunset flip.
Lethal eliminated
Sabin in and he grabs Red and drops him hard. Then he follows up with a big clothesline that turns Red inside out and pins him.
Red eliminated
Max eliminates Sabin with a Sliced Bread No. 2.
Sabin eliminated
Now it's Kendrick and Robbie E in there. Kendrick crunches Robbie against the cage. Max goes for a moonsault on Kendrick but Kendrick gets the knees up. Now Jeremy comes in and starts teeing off on Max. He throws Max side to side and then knocks him upside the head with a kick. Jeremy has to be pulled off his brother by Brian Hebner but is then rolled up and pinned by Max.
Jeremy Buck eliminated
Robbie and Max double team Kendrick and throw him into the cage but Kendrick gets going and starts going to town on both Buck and Robbie. Kendrick hits a kick on Robbie and pins him.
Robbie E. eliminated
So it's down to Max Buck and Kendrick and you have to escape the cage to win. It's all Buck here. Kendrick gets going and tries to climb but Buck pushes Hebner into the cage, dropping Kendrick to the mat. Buck quickly climbs the cage and escapes to become the X-Division's No. 1 contender.
Winner via escape: Max Buck
Match Rating: 5/10
Match #2 - Ink Inc. vs. The British Invasion vs. Eric Young & Orlando Jordan vs. Scott Steiner & Crimson
We get some Eric Young "comedy" to start. British Invasion double team Jesse Neal and Douglas Williams gets a two count. Back to double team and he and Magnus are rolling. Shannon Moore has to break up the pin. Crowd chanting "We want Steiner." Hearing this, Williams goes over and does his taunt in Steiner's direction.
Crimson in now and the crowd chants "Steiner!" Crimson with some big knees on Magnus but Williams breaks up the pin. Both men down and Magnus gets Williams as Crimson tags in Steiner. Biggest crowd reaction of the night for Steiner's tag-in. Steinerline followed up the elbow and pushups. He sends both Williams and Magnus into orbit with backdrops. Steiner going to town but he is getting annoyed by Moore, who keeps interfering.
Moore and Williams in now. Moonsault for Moore by Jordan breaks up the pin and hits him with the Gender Bender but turns right into a spear from Neal. Crimson comes in from behind and hits his finish. Sitout slam for Magnus but Steiner comes from behind and throws him. Young goes to the top and hits Steiner with a missile dropkick. Young climbs the cage and is scaling the outside of the cage but that's not the rules. Inside the ring, Moore hits Williams with the Mooregasm and gets the pin.
Winners via pinfall: Ink Inc.
Christy Hemme is backstage with Madison Rayne and Tara. Rayne tells Tara she doesn't need her out there with her tonight. Tara sarcastically tells her good luck.
Match #3 - Hair vs. Title Match for the TNA Knockouts Championship - (c) Madison Rayne (Seattle, Wash.) vs. Mickie James (Richmond, Va.)
Mickie sends Madison into the cage three times to start the match and then DDTs her and that's it. A minute, if that.
Winner via pinfall and NEW TNA Knockouts Champion: Mickie James
Match Rating: NR
Joe gets going early. Flying butt in the corner followed by a head kick. Pope, though, grabs Joe's trunks and pulls him into the middle turnbuckle. Pope goes to climb the cage but Joe follows him, punches him and Pope staggers and crotches himself.
Joe with kicks and punches in the middle of the ring but Pope drops down for an uppercut and takes over. Pope backhand slaps Joe twice. Now the two are exchanging slaps. Joe with an inverted atomic drop and a back splash for two. Joe with a leg lariat off the second rope for two. Joe sets Pope up for the Muscle Buster and hits it. The cover. 1-2-foot on the rope. Pope survives.
Pope trying to climb the cage and Joe grabs him by the trunks and exposes his rear-end. The director chooses the angle that zooms right in on it. Unbelievable. Pope drops Joe from the top and hits an elbow and then the knees for two. Joe crawls to the corner and Pope lines him up for the DDE but Joe catches him in mid-air and puts him back-first into the cage, picks him up and hits another Muscle Buster. Instead of going for the cover, he locks in the Coquina Clutch and Pope taps.
Winner via submission: Samoa Joe
Match Rating: 4/10
Morgan with the rapid-fire elbows early on. Avalanche and a side slam for two for Morgan. Morgan goes to the top but Anarquia grabs Morgan's leg through the camera hole and holds him as Hernandez goes flying in and squashes him. Hernandez grates Morgan's face on the cage. Nerve hold for Hernandez and then he hits a clothesline and whistles.
Hernandez continuing to work Morgan over. Morgan face-down in the centre of the ring. Morgan slowly works to his feet as Hernandez continues to gloat and Morgan hits him with a clothesline. Both men down in opposite corners. They stand and Morgan starts to fire up. Clotheslines for Morgan and now he sends Hernandez flying into the cage. Now again. Back suplex connects for two for Morgan. Morgan sends Hernandez off the ropes and misses a clothesline. Hernandez comes back with a spear-like maneuver. They stand back up and Morgan side-steps Hernandez and Hernandez goes flying into the cage.
Rosita and Sarita start to climb the cage to take the referee as Anarquia goes to hit Morgan, but Morgan knocks him off the cage. Hernandez to the top and he comes jumping off right into a Carbon Footprint. Good night.
Winner via pinfall: Matt Morgan
Match #6 - Ultra Male Rules - Jeff Jarrett (Hendersonville, Tenn.) vs. Kurt Angle (Pittsburgh, Pa.)
Ultra Male Rules, for those of you scoring at home, are this: It's best 2-of-3 falls with the first fall being submission, the second being pinfall and the third being escape the cage (if necessary, of course).
Brian Hebner immediately boots Karen Jarrett from the ringside area.
Jarrett locks in the Figure Four nearly right off the bat and Hebner is counting Angle's shoulders down for a pin. Not just once, but multiple times. If you remember from two paragraphs above, THIS IS A SUBMISSION-ONLY FALL. I cannot make this up. Only in TNA. They trade submissions back-and-forth with Jarrett working on the shoulder. Jarrett has an armbar locked in but Angle deftly turns it into the ankle lock, grapevines the leg and Jarrett taps.
Angle leads 1-0
Match tied 1-1
Jarrett goes to escape but Angle comes back and hits five straight Germans. Angle goes to leave the cage. He has a foot on the step with Jarrett nowhere in sight but he decides to go back in. Well, wait. He's more than halfway down the steps now and goes back in, locks the door and puts the key down his trunks.
Angle runs Jarrett into the cage, busting him open, the first blood on this pay-per-view and we're nearly two hours in. Jarrett goes to run up the cage but Angle follows. Angle ends up in the power bomb position and they messed this up real, real bad. Angle almost died here. Jarrett goes to climb the cage in the corner but Angle charges and hits the Angle Slam off the top rope. Angle plays with the door, looking like he wants to escape that way, apparently forgetting the key was in his trunks. He goes to the other side to climb but Gunner runs out with a chair and keeps Angle at bay. Instead, Angle heads over to the corner and comes off the top of the cage with a moonsault. They are down forever and Angle remembers he has the key. He unlocks the cage door and opens it up when Karen comes running down and sprays something in his eyes. At this point, my cable fritzed. It came back a minute later with Jarrett on the arena floor being tended to by Karen.
Winner: Jeff Jarrett
Match Rating: 6/10
They tried real, real hard in the third fall, but this was the worst of TNA here. Angle nearly got killed twice on a show nobody is watching and there were a billion run-ins in a steel cage match. Plus the general stupidity of the referee counting pins in a submission fall and then counting both men down in a pinfall-only fall. Seeing Angle continually try very scary things is starting to detract from his matches for me. The power bomb spot was very, very scary.
Match #7 - TNA World Heavyweight Championship - (c) Sting (Venice Beach, Calif.) vs. Rob Van Dam (Battle Creek, Mich.) vs. Mr. Anderson (Green Bay, Wisc.)
Sting hits a Stinger Splash on Anderson early and goes for the Scorpion Death Lock but RVD kicks him. Standing moonsault connects for RVD. Anderson trips RVD but finds himself in position for the Death Lock. RVD comes over but Sting subdues him and locks both men in the Death Lock at the same time. RVD crawls and make it to the bottom rope. A rope break. In a cage match. Sigh.
Anderson goes for the Mic Check on RVD but Sting comes over and Anderson catches him in position and hits both with the Mic Check at the same time. Goes for the cover on Sting and gets a two.
Now RVD goes to the top and hits the Five-Star Frog Splash on Anderson but Sting cuts him off before he can make the cover. Now all three men are down when Hulk Hogan's music hits and here he comes with a pipe. RVD slides the pipe into RVD, who he is recruiting for Immortal. RVD takes it, hits the mat with it then throws it into the cage at Hogan. Anderson picks it up and wallops RVD with it. Anderson pulls RVD into the middle of the ring but as he does, Sting comes up from behind and hits him with the Scorpion Death Drop and that's it.
Winner via pinfall and STILL TNA World Heavyweight Champion: Sting
Match #8 - Lethal Lockdown - Bully Ray (New York City), Abyss (Parts Unknown), Matt Hardy (Cameron, NC) & Ric Flair (Charlotte, NC) vs. Robert Roode (Wall Street), James Storm (Leiper's Fork, Tenn.), Kazarian (Anaheim, Calif.) & Christopher Daniels (Los Angeles, Calif.)

PEET: Lasiosphaeriaceae
To explore the Lasiosphaeriaceae project in full go to the micro-site.
The Sordariales (Fungi, Ascomycetes) contains 99 genera, divided among eight families. It includes many economically and ecologically important species including species of Ceratocystis and Chaetomium as well as the model taxa Neurospora crassa and Sordaria fimicola. However, recent phylogenetic analyses of DNA sequence data that included single representatives of four of the families of Sordariales suggest that the order is not monophyletic. A detailed assessment of the relationship among Sordarialean families is necessary to address this issue but before a meaningful sampling strategy can be devised, revisions of several key genera must be undertaken. The Lasiosphaeriaceae, 51 genera and about 1000 species, is the largest and most morphologically diverse family in the order, and in particular several of the species-rich genera in the family remain unstudied. Relationships among the genera are also unknown.
In this study, we propose to prepare monographs of two of the largest genera in the Lasiosphaeriaceae, Chaetosphaeria and Lasiosphaeria, which have never been treated systematically and are key to understanding phylogenetic relationships in the family and the order. Species in the two genera are ecologically and economically important and although they have been described primarily from north temperate regions previous work by the PI suggests that they are a dominant part of the neotropical mycota involved with litter decomposition. Fieldwork will be undertaken in several sites in the U.S.A., Puerto Rico, Panama, and Ecuador to assess their ecological significance in more detail. These sites were chosen to sample areas with known high species diversity and to test several recent hypotheses on fungal biodiversity and biogeography.
Based on the results of the monographic work, an assessment of phylogenetic relationships of Chaetosphaeria and Lasiosphaeria with the other genera currently included in the Lasiosphaeriaceae will be undertaken, this will facilitate critical analysis of relationships among the eight families of Sordariales. Both the monographic and the family level phylogenetic studies will be based on morphological and molecular data obtained from type and other herbarium specimens, newly collected specimens, and cultures. This program directly addresses several of the major challenges currently facing ascomycete systematics including: a) rigorously examining patterns of variation in some of the key morphological characters currently used in ascomycete taxonomy, b) integrating sexual and asexual taxa into a unified phylogeny and classification, c) stabilizing generic, familial and ordinal concepts using a phylogenetic approach, d) determining taxonomic diversity in tropical countries, e) integrating these data into monographic treatments, and f) training students to become well versed in traditional as well as modern tools and analyses. Modern monographic treatments of ascomycetes are rare, and comprehensive treatments for species-rich genera currently are lacking. Thus, another important goal of this project is to publish monographs that will be used as models for future systematic work on ascomycetes.

Almost 10 million people agree to be in the Centenary of Federation Time Capsule, Jun 2002

Almost 10 million people agree to be in the Centenary of Federation Time Capsule
A total of 9,998,428 people or more than half the people recorded in last year's Census of Population and Housing chose to have their name identified census information stored in the 2001 Centenary of Federation Time Capsule.
The Centenary of Federation Time Capsule Project is a Commonwealth Government initiative to help celebrate the Centenary of Federation. It was conducted in conjunction with the 2001 population census.
The time capsule comprises microfilm copies of the census information provided by the people who chose to be included in the project. It will be securely stored by the National Archives of Australia and opened to the public in the year 2100.
The Acting Director-General of the National Archives of Australia, Anne-Marie Schwirtlich, said that the Time Capsule Project had made census history.
'All this valuable data will be a rich lode of sociological information for our descendants 99 years from now, and the Archives is mindful of its important role in the secure custody of the records until that time,' Ms Schwirtlich said.
For Australia as a whole the participation rate was 52.7%.
Participation rates were similar for all age groups, with the lowest being for those under five years of age (45.8%) and those over 89 years of age (47.2%).
Nearly half (49.8%) of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people agreed to take part.
The rate of agreement increased steadily with income level, ranging up to 65.2% for those earning $1500 or more per week
People born in England (60.4%), Scotland (60.4%) and Australia (55.4%) were most likely to participate. People born in Viet Nam (42.4%), China (45.3%) and Greece (45.0%) had the lowest rate of participation.
The Australian Statistician, Dennis Trewin, said once the transfer of paper records onto microfilm had been completed, the ABS would destroy all name-identified census information it holds, including the computer records and the paper forms. As in the past, the paper forms would be pulped for recycling.

The Princess and the Frog
03.20.2010 | By Jack Rico | No Comments">No Comments
Rated: PG
Release Date: 2009-12-11
Starring: Ron Clements, Rob Edwards, Greg Erb, Don Hall, John Musker, Jason Oremland
Film Genre:
Official Website: http://disney.go.com/disneypictures/princessandthefrog/
"The Princess and The Frog" is an historic moment for Disney, but it also represents a step forward in the entertainment industry to diversifying its films to reflect today's current social landscape. Perhaps a long anticipated Latina on the horizon? Cinematically speaking, the film is an entertaining and amusing throwback to the classic Disney cartoons of old, but doesn't really hold its own compared to the classics. The same formula is used with a twist, but its missing originality.
This animated romantic comedy set in the great city of New Orleans in the 1920's features a beautiful girl named Tiana (Anika Noni Rose), a frog prince who desperately wants to be human again, and a fateful kiss that leads them both on an adventure through the mystical bayous of Louisiana.
The voices are top notch across the board. The music is not at the height of previous efforts and feels like producers just picked up some songs from the Disney archive catalog. The production quality of the animation though is a pleasure to behold. In a time when CG, 3D and even stop-motion animation are all the rage, this seems like an old friend coming back to visit.
Kids and parents will have a good time with it and sing along with the crocs and bugs, but is it a classic? No, but it is historic enough that it must be seen.

Author Notes: This recipe is inspired by my sister. She loves mushrooms and she recently gave me some fennel pollen. I thought fennel pollen would add a nice flavor to marinated mushrooms. I've combined crimini or button mushrooms with shiitakes, but I think this would be great with any sturdy mushroom (chanterelles and hedgehogs come to mind). I've added some fresh herbs, radish, green onion, and capers to add flavors and textures to complement the earthy meatiness of the mushrooms.This recipe can and should be made the night before you want to serve it. It can be served atop crostini or bruschetta, mixed with pasta, served atop scrambled eggs, or however you see fit. —hardlikearmour
Food52 Review: Meg should be proud of her namesake mushrooms. Earthy and bright, hardlikearmour's homage to her sister is as versatile a mushroom dish as you'll find. We spooned it up warm straight from the bowl, piled it atop crisp crostini, and then wished for more so we could crown a bed of vibrant greens with it. We love the mix of shiitake and cremini, as well as the clever technique of cooking the mushrooms in a dry pan (we used a cast iron skillet with great success) so they really caramelize -- we may just be converts for life on this one. - A&M —The Editors
Makes: about 2 cups
2 tablespoons champagne or white wine vinegar
1 tablespoon capers, minced
1/4 cup finely diced radish
3 green onions, white and light green parts, cut into thin half-moons
1/2 teaspoon minced fresh thyme
1/2 teaspoon minced fresh marjoram
teaspoon fennel pollen or finely ground fennel seed
teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
teaspoon butternut squash seed oil or sesame oil
3/4 pound crimini or button mushrooms
1/4 pound shiitake mushrooms
1/4 teaspoon table salt
1/4 cup grapeseed oil
1 medium shallot, minced
- In a medium heat proof and non-reactive bowl combine vinegar, capers, radish, green onion, thyme, marjoram, fennel pollen, pepper, and butternut squash seed oil. Whisk to combine, and set aside.
- Wipe the mushrooms clean with a damp paper towel. Remove the very bottoms of the stems from the criminis or buttons, then cut the cap and stems into quarters or eighths so pieces are about 1/2-inch in size. Remove the stems from shiitake's and cut the caps into 1/4-inch pieces.
- Heat a skillet over high heat and cook the mushrooms and salt, stirring frequently, until the mushrooms have given up their water. Continue to cook for a few more minutes, stirring, until they start to brown. Remove from heat and add the grapeseed oil. Return to medium heat and cook for an additional 5 to 6 minutes, adding the shallot in the last 3 minutes of cooking. The mushrooms should be softened but still have some texture, and the shallots should be softened.
- Transfer the mushrooms and oil to the bowl containing the vinegar mixture. Stir to combine well. Allow to cool to room temperature, then cover and refrigerate. Flavors will be best once it sits for at least a few hours, and preferably overnight. Stir again before serving.
