KAMLOOPS, B.C. – A First Nations leader from British Columbia is urging a northern Ontario chief to end her hunger strike aimed at winning a meeting with the prime minister and drawing attention to aboriginal issues.
Tk'emlups (teh-KEM'-lups) Indian Band Chief Shane Gottfriedson says Theresa Spence's 17-day hunger strike is both honourable and noble but he believes her point has been made.
He says Spence is fasting for many issues that are important to aboriginals but he says most of those issues will not be resolved soon, and he believes the chief's health is more important.
Spence has eaten nothing but tea and fish broth since Dec. 11 as she presses for a meeting with Prime Minister Stephen Harper.
She has also vowed to die unless the Conservative government starts showing more respect to First Nations concerns and aboriginal treaties.
Gottfriedson says the next step is to begin a dialogue with the federal government and he says it shouldn't take a meeting with the prime minister to get those talks underway.

I promote the Alex Award winners each year as summer reading suggestions to my 11th and 12th grade students. I usually read 5 of the ten winners, and I end up reading books I never would have picked up for myself. Last year my favorites were American Shaolin and Night Birds.
So far I have only read 2 of this year's winners. Actually I read one and a half. I started reading Sharp Teeth, and I can understand why people like it (my husband loved it), but it was just too violent for me. Usually I enjoy reading books set in Los Angeles, but in this case I didn't really connect with the book. But still I gave it to one of my students who is a voracious reader, thinking he may enjoy it. I see the appeal of the book - I just didn't get into it.
City of Thieves by David Benoff is another story entirely. I wasn't excited to read it (not another book about Nazis!), but I couldn't put it down! My husband reads a bunch of the books I bring home, so I have been handing him the Alex Award winners. He is currently devouring a third, which I haven't yet read. He read City of Thieves in one day. He was traveling to and from San Jose on business and the book kept his attention throughout his many hours at the airport. This exciting page-turner starts quickly, and although there is violence, there is also humor.
Smallish and Jewish Lev finds himself on an improbable mission with Kolya, a strong, gregarious soldier accused of leaving his unit during the winter siege on Leningrad. If the two can find a dozen eggs and deliver them to a powerful colonel, their lives will be spared. In their long journey to find the elusive chickens or eggs, they encounter horrors of poverty and hunger, and the sincerity and loyalty of friendship. And along the way, they find out what it means to become men.
Do you have a favorite Alex Award winner? Which one should I read next?

The team behind 'Undefeated'
The makers of "Undefeated," the film about an inner-city football team at Manassas High School in North Memphis, Tenn., won the Oscar for documentary feature Sunday. The filmmakers, however, may have gotten off to a rocky start when accepting their Academy Awards on stage: They dropped the F-bomb, for starters, were bleeped out and their speech was cut off at 45 seconds. But Daniel Lindsay, T.J. Martin and Richard Middlemas were charming, if a bit apologetic, backstage. "It wasn't the classiest thing," admitted Martin. "But it did come from the heart." Martin continued, "We're known for the F-bomb. This is the F-bomb clan. When I say it came from the heart, I am genuinely serious. It was out of spontaneity and it was completely accidental. Our core focus, if this possibly were to happen, we really wanted to dedicate the award to the community of North Memphis and the individuals who we profiled in the film. With that said, there was 45 seconds, and 45 seconds goes really quickly and they cut us off, unfortunately."

Why would academic excellence insult a student?
I should think that if they wish to be included in the gate program they would study harder.
Should a student instead strive for and be praised for mediocrity?

Taz is 100% correct and perish the thought of the bell curve. Things are dumbed down enough in the system/society.
Brighter and creative kids are at risk of becoming bored and should be given more appropos, challenging material.
I was lucky enough to be in such a program when I was in school- finally I was no longer bored because I'd already read ahead of the class. And here's a shout out to my teacher, the late great Ron DeVito.

My kids were in GATE classes from the mid-80's to late 90's, and from my reading of school board/parent discussions, it seems that the GATE program has changed significantly since then. The program was originally described as geared to kids who had abilities in specific areas that were exceptional, but that our school system didn't generally acknowledge or provide opportunities for them to develop, rather than aimed at kids who were high achievers. This is the type of program that Ken_Volok describes and that I was in back in the day, and I agree with his comments. GATE wasn't equivalent to an AP or honors program for kids who excelled in a standard program and were motivated to ace the required classes, but the ones who had an insatiable appetite for learning in areas that had a low correlation with required class material. My impression is that the GATE program initially was oriented towards identifying and providing opportunities for bright non-conformists, the Edisons and Einsteins who would probably have difficulty achieving a high school diploma today and whose boredom with school would more likely result in them being stereotyped as underachievers or kids with behavior problems than as people with extraordinary potential. Recent information about the SB GATE program describe GATE classes as indistinguishable from AP or honors classes.

A real downside of any program based on test scores is that a lot of potential, as in art, music, theater, insight, or the ability to "see the big picture" and initiate radical changes in society that might be applied to social, environmental, political, etc. changes, can't be measured, and teachers' evaluations are necessarily subjective. The fact that teachers and other adults may see really bright kids as merely non-conforming is also important. I think it's important to have any selection process designed to eliminate language as a factor. The purpose of the GATE program isn't to emphasize the detrimental effects of limited language abilities - it's to provide opportunities and stimulation to kids so they can use their abilities to the max. I think offering testing in Spanish is a better solution than skewing the curve for the entire population of test-takers. I think any process that negatively biases a kid's opportunities based on culture - those who live in Spanish-speaking homes and communities, for example, or whose poverty restricts opportunities for achievement, is racist. We have very limited low-income housing, and there are some kids who are living in housing with 8-10 people/bedroom whose ability to survive academically is an indication of exceptional ability.

yes, I take your point taz. But Spanish (not German, which I speak, for example) is different since there has been an historic (not indigenous!) Spanish-speaking community here for well over 150 years. Is Spanish then a "foreign language" for these kids? These children -- I've read that over 80% of the Harding School children are from mother-tongue Spanish speaking homes -- be penalized because their mother tongue language is not English. Can't there be some accommodation for this, esp. since they do the CogAt test in SECOND GRADE?

Then what? Bilingual GATE education? Of course there will be those that say that it's discriminatory against those whose native language is other than English or Spanish. Once you start GATE testing in languages other than English, it gets to be a slippery slope.

taz (anonymous profile)
January 27, 2013 at 8:40 a.m.
Exactly, point well taken. Lowering the bar for Spanish-speaking students is the core of the problem. Lots of poor people came to this country (and still do) without English and managed to learn the language. If the Spanish-speaking kids learn English (like every other immigrant group) than there is no language barrier. Also, how are people who only speak Spanish supposed to communicate with those who speak other languages as their native tongue other than English? If we (as Botany points out) go down the slippery slope, than we have a Tower Of Babel, or, we make people who come from these other places learn Spanish in addition to learning English--which of course, isn't fair.
As for the history of Spanish in this area, it--like English--is a language of colonization so any symbolic relevance goes out the door. As politically incorrect as it is, we need a common mutual language, and just as the colonial language of Spanish serves that purpose in Mexico and most countries to the south of it, English serves the purpose in the U.S. There is a reason our public schools are in such bad shape and this issue hits at the core of it.
By the way, William Shockley--who if I remember had achieved previous fame as a scientist--was a racist who promoted the Bell Curve Theory and insisted that Whites were genetically superior to other races.

Learn Spanish, it is beautiful and sexy. The more languages you know, the richer your understanding of the world, because language reflects a culture's understanding of the world. For example, in Spanish nothing is a neuter. The whole world is male and female. Same in French and Italian. German has a very complex syntax, which requires a very organized mind. I wish I knew every language in the world, it would make life unbelievably rich.

I would say German is harder Ken. German has more cases, and you're dealing with (as pointed out) Masculine, Feminine, and neutral. (As I recall, Spanish has four cases and German six)
As Mark Twain said "My philological studies have satisfied me that a gifted person ought to learn English (barring spelling and pronouncing) in thirty hours, French in thirty days, and German in thirty years. It seems manifest, then, that the latter tongue ought to be trimmed down and repaired. If it is to remain as it is, it ought to be gently and reverently set aside among the dead languages, for only the dead have time to learn it."
I also knew a Swedish man who told me he studied German for six years and English for three. When I asked him of the difference, he explained "English grammar is this thick (holding his hands about six inches apart) and German grammar is this thick" (holding his hands about three feet apart)

BC: I think you're somewhat confusing cases and gender. German has four cases and three (grammatical) genders.
Spanish has no cases and two genders.
While degree of difficulty language acquisition is somewhat relative, most would likely agree that learning German is harder for a native English speaker than Spanish, indeed because of its somewhat more complicated grammar and despite being more directly related to English than any of the romance languages such as Spanish. That was certainly my experience. English, mostly via Norman French, has been much influenced/modified by Latin/romance languages, mostly in its (often dual) vocabulary elements.

Most English words of three or more syllables are indeed of Latin or Greek origin, via the Norman French. For example: syllable, origin, and example translate in French to: syllabe, origine, and exemple. So whether you realize it or not, you already know French. From there to Spanish is easier than you'd think, and a lot of fun.

right, poodles, but at the same time isn't the structure of English from OldEnglish and from i don't know Saxon or Jute or at any rate a Germanic-origin language. While modern German sentences are often quite lengthy, the syntax and much of the grammatical structure is Germanic. There are a lot of cognates to German as well: beer, cheese, and s**t [Schiss]...

Old Norse is the basis. Look at Icelandic in print and than Old English. English is--appropriately--a "potpourri" of French, Norse, Germanic, Latin etc, and the language one must know in order to succeed in the U.S. but people still insist we can have a system of (here comes an Afrikaans word) of linguistic apartheid and not suffer the consequences.

I love the Mark Twain quote Bill, thank you for the laugh.
Dr Dan, German syntax is very different from English syntax. It isn't just that German sentences are lengthy, but that the verb often doesn't appear until the very end of the sentence, and that the article changes depending on whether the noun is subject, predicate, and whether there is a possessive pronoun. Nouns can be either male, neuter, or female, and there is not only a different article for each, but each one changes depending on where in the sentence the noun is being used. Subordinate clauses are a nightmare. German syntax is closer to Latin than to English.
For example, this is how you say "I haven't spoken to him for two days" in German: "Vor zwei Tagen habe ich mit ihm nicht gesprochen." Literally, that translates to "For two days have I to him not spoken." In Spanish you would say: "No he hablado con él en dos días," which translates, again literally, to "I have not spoken with him for two days." As you can tell, our English sentence structure is far closer to the Spanish or to French than to German, no matter the fact that many English words have German or Norse origins.

Who knew we could have so much fun comparing grammatical rules? Of course Spanish speakers can conquer English, and many do, but since family is of huge cultural importance in the Hispanic community, preserving the ability to converse with non-English speaking members of the family feels more important than being able to talk with strangers. I also think that the larger the immigrant group, the less likely it is to quickly adopt the habits and language of its host country. If you are alone traveling to Barcelona, you probably will have to at least attempt to speak some Spanish or Catalan, but if you get there on a cruise ship with 3000 other Americans, you can rely on the group to get your needs met without making the effort to speak a foreign tongue. Of course you'll have a much richer experience if you do make the effort, and immigrants who learn English fare a lot better than those who don't.

Here is the first in quite some time.
Fall is here...yaaaaaah! Are you excited to bring out those. I am. To kick it off here is a how to wear over-the-knee boots. Love me some OKB. This is just some couple of ways and definetely my way of wearing them.
The video will explain it all for you...so I'll save you the eye straining and reading.

Two more business intelligence vendors are hooking up
Just three days after the Business Objects and Crystal Decisions merger announcement, Hyperion and Brio have announced a merger. Why? Hyperion appears to be filling out its line card. By integrating Brio's Performance Suite and Metrics Builder into its offerings, Hyperion will be able to offer a more complete set of products, from advanced query and analysis to financial analysis and performance dashboards. This will allow Hyperion to offer less sophisticated prospects tools to do basic reporting against transactional systems while providing them an upgrade path to more complex business performance indicator (KPI) scorecards and dashboards. Hyperion's flagship product is its Essbase OLAP system.
But some observers don't see the need for business intelligence vendors to offer a complete suite of products. An Internet News article quotes analyst Mark Smith, of Ventana Research. "We believe the Hyperion acquisition of Brio is not a significant move that will impact the BI or Performance Management market," he said. "Since Hyperion had little traction with the OEM of Crystal Enterprise over the last year and half in a product called Hyperion Q&R, there does not seem to be any real demand by customers or push-traction by Hyperion in selling query and reporting." With competitor Business Objects now acquiring Crystal Decisions, I'm wondering if Hyperion will continue the OEM relationship for Crystal Enterprise.
The combined Hyperion/Brio entity will have revenues of $613 million, 2,700 employees, and over 16,000 customers worldwide.by Frank Scavo, 7/25/2003 08:54:00 AM | permalink | e-mail this!

New milestone in adoption of e-procurement
Since 2000, the Institute of Supply Management (ISM), in conjunction with Forrester Research, has been conducting a quarterly survey on the adoption rate of various e-procurement practices, and the most recent report shows a new milestone has been reached. The June survey, for the first time, shows that manufacturing companies are using the Internet to purchase direct materials (i.e. those consumed in manufacturing of products) at a greater rate than they are using the Internet to purchase indirect materials (e.g. office supplies, repair parts, and services). Survey respondents spent an average of 11.7% of their total direct materials spend using the Internet in Q2 2003, up 1.7% from Q1. Indirect materials spending remained flat at 11.0%.
Why is this a big deal? Early adopters of Internet e-procurement focused on indirect procurement as a way to gain some economies of scale with categories such as office supplies, where purchases were decentralized and ad-hoc. Significant savings could be achieved through group buys, and maverick spending could be curtailed by means of an e-procurement system. Additional savings could be achieved through reduction in cost of the purchasing transaction itself. But in manufacturing firms, indirect procurement has always been less strategic than direct procurement, where cost of material was just one factor--quality, delivery, and service are also major considerations. Furthermore, with direct materials the procurement process is usually more complex, with quoting, configuration, specification, and scheduling as major activities in the process. The fact that in manufacturing firms e-procurement of direct material now exceeds that of indirect material indicates that the technology is becoming more commonplace and capable of being used more strategically. The hype phase of e-procurement is past, and companies are now making serious progress in adopting the technology.
So, what is keeping manufacturers from using e-procurement in even greater measure? According to Edith Kelly-Green, spokesperson for ISM and VP/chief sourcing officer for FedEx, "Two of the main concerns keeping survey respondents from wider adoption of the Internet surround the lack of supplier enablement and integration with internal and external systems." As these barriers are gradually overcome, expect to see e-procurement become as common as the fax machine, in my opinion.
The complete survey results are on the ISM web site.by Frank Scavo, 7/23/2003 02:04:00 PM | permalink | e-mail this!

Vendor consolidation hits business intelligence sector
It's just been announced that Business Objects, a leading vendor of business intelligence (BI) software, is acquiring Crystal Decisions, a developer of end user reporting tools. The marriage makes a lot of sense. Business Objects targets its products at business analysts and power users. It also develops high end online analytic processing (OLAP), business performance management, scorecard, and dashboard applications. Crystal, on the other hand, focuses mostly on the end user. Its flagship product, Crystal Reports, is probably the most widely deployed report writer across a variety of enterprise systems. Most vendors have realized that there is no point in trying to develop or market their own report writing tools, and Crystal has pretty much become the standard, having OEM relationships with over 350 software vendors, including majors such as Microsoft, PeopleSoft, and SAP. Crystal Decisions--which was spun off from Seagate Technology in 2000 and was on track for an IPO itself prior to this deal--has been a rising star in the enterprise software marketplace, with revenue growth of 30% in 2002.
The BI market is highly fragmented and ripe for consolidation. The Business Objects/Crystal entity, if approved by shareholders and the SEC, will have combined revenues of over $700M, making it now the leading Tier I BI vendor, followed by Cognos and Hyperion. Tier II BI vendors include Microstrategy, Brio Software, Actuate, and Information Builders. Leading technology platform vendors in the BI space include IBM, Oracle, Microsoft, Teradata, and Sybase.
There is one risk to Business Objects, however, in acquiring Crystal Decisions. Some of those 350 OEM relationships that Crystal has built are software developers that also offer business intelligence and enterprise performance reporting functionality. How eager will those vendors be to continue to wrap themselves around Crystal Reports, if the new owner of Crystal is now directly competing with them?

It's official: PeopleSoft acquires J.D. Edwards
The combined firm will have annual sales of $2.8 billion, 13,000 employees and 11,000 customers in 150 countries, making it number two in the enterprise applications marketplace, behind SAP and ahead of Oracle's application business. The combination makes Oracle's bid for PeopleSoft now more expensive, and I still predict that it is not going to happen. The Associated Press today has details on PeopleSoft/JDE deal.
More interesting, however, is an interview on CNET with Ray Lane, former president of Oracle and currently a partner with venture firm Kleiner Perkins. Lane comments on structural changes in the software industry, the prospects for Oracle in acquiring PeopleSoft, and trends that will drive growth in IT in the coming years. Lane says, "A lot could be done above the ERP layer to build composite applications better and offer better user access. A lot of what I'll be doing is around finding a better process for integrating data and more intelligence. I've got a lot of data, but no freaking idea what it's doing."by Frank Scavo, 7/18/2003 09:38:00 AM | permalink | e-mail this!

With hype gone, spending on supply chain connectivity is trending back up
In an encouraging report, the Yankee Group is projecting that supply chain management (SCM) spending for B2B connectivity will grow 12% in 2003 and will continue upward for the next three to five years. According to Yankee, investments by major players such as Intel, Cisco, Dell, Sun, Wal-Mart, and Home Depot, are driving their trading partners to make corresponding investments.
The report points to "direct connect" approaches as the leading topology for electronic connection, with EDI over the Internet (EDIINT and AS2) platform showing strength in several industries, RosettaNet gaining traction in the high tech supply chain, UCCnet becoming dominant in the retail supply chain, and CIDX gaining ground in the chemical vertical.
Software and services vendors who are benefiting include those with strong orientation toward EDI, such as Sterling Commerce and GXS, as well as vendors leading the charge in EDI over the Internet (EDIINT), such as SPS Commerce and Cyclone Commerce. Major enterprise system vendors, such as SAP, Oracle, and Microsoft, that have introduced similar capabilities for supply chain connectivity should also benefit.
For more discussion regarding Internet-based EDI and the impact of Walmart's mandate to its suppliers, see my post on Sept. 17, 2002.by Frank Scavo, 7/17/2003 03:18:00 PM | permalink | e-mail this!

Business changes needed to ensure enterprise system success
A key point in my presentation to AICPA last week was that enterprise system projects often require significant business process change in order to ensure success. Our cumulative experience in the 1990s shows that it simply doesn't work to slam new systems into an organization without addressing the culture, attitudes, and processes that will need to be changed.
To reinforce this concept, at the end of each workshop, I asked participants to think about a current or planned enterprise system initiative at their companies and to consider what business changes would be needed to ensure success.
The participants volunteered a number of such initiatives, including new financial systems, complete ERP replacements, CRM and supply chain systems, and one custom development system. But what was interesting was to look at the business changes they indicated were needed to make these systems effective. After the workshop, I clustered the responses and came up with the following observations.
Over the past decade, companies invested heavily in information technology, sometimes with disappointing results. Business leaders are now recognizing that the key to success is to focus on the business changes needed to make the new technology effective.
- User ownership was indicated in 25% of the responses--an important recognition that without the buy-in of those whose jobs are affected, no system will be successful.
- Cultural changes, such as salespeople being willing to openly share sales pipeline data, was mentioned in another 25% of the responses.
- Data integrity issues were indicated in 19% of the responses, possibly in reaction to the strong emphasis I gave to this point in the workshop.
- Specific business process changes, such as purchasing, operations, and sales processes, were mentioned in 13% of the responses. It is likely that with more time for consideration, participants would have been able to list more of these.
- The remaining responses pointed to improved disciplines and changes in performance measurement and incentive systems.by Frank Scavo, 7/16/2003 10:01:00 AM | permalink | e-mail this!

What's at the top of the CFO's mind regarding information systems?
During my presentation at the AICPA Controllers Workshop last week, I started by asking audience members to indicate their major concerns, issues, or interests when they think about information systems in their companies. Though not formal survey, the spontaneous responses from among the hundred or so participants says much about what's on the mind of CFOs and Controllers these days relative to enterprise systems.
After the workshop, I clustered the responses into logical groups as follows:
Interestingly, only 9% of the responses mentioned cost of IT as a concern, which is surprising considering that the whole audience was CFOs and Controllers. Perhaps it is a sign that software prices have come down, or more likely, that executives are putting more emphasize on the effectiveness and success of systems rather than the pure cost of the technology.
- Selection and implementation concerns. This was the largest cluster, with 35% of the responses. Comments such as "choosing the right ERP system," "retaining knowledge of the system after implementation," and "on-going support" show that CFOs still view system selection and implementation as a significant undertaking. After many well-publicized implementation failures in the 1990s, this is a good sign.
- Reporting was indicated in 17% of the responses, with several participants emphasizing the need to get better access to information locked up in ERP systems.
- Integration issues were indicated by 13% of the responses, with special emphasis on combining financial and operational systems. An additional 4% of the responses mentioned auditing of ERP systems for internal controls, which may indicate Sarbanes-Oxley is part the interest in having good integration between financial and operational systems.
- Also top of mind is security, mentioned by 13% and ease of use, mentioned by 9%.by Frank Scavo, 7/15/2003 02:44:00 PM | permalink | e-mail this!

Winners and losers in today's enterprise software market
Computerworld has a short article today outlining the earnings reports in various categories of enterprise software vendors. This gives a quick snapshot of how the landscape is changing as the market for technology spending is showing some improvement. Of interest are the following observations:
- Top tier suite vendors SAP, Oracle, PeopleSoft, and J.D. Edwards are holding up remarkably well in this market, even though there is a great deal of uncertainty regarding Oracle's hostile bid for PeopleSoft, and PeopleSoft's friendly bid for J.D. Edwards.
- Best-of-breed CRM vendors, characterized by Siebel, continue to suffer as the pendulum seems to be swinging away from a best-of-breed CRM approach toward CRM as part of an integrated suite offered by the major ERP vendors. Siebel's strategy of offering tools to facilitate integration with other enterprise systems does not yet seem to be overcoming the attraction of pre-built integration of the full suite vendors.
- Standalone enterprise application integration (EAI) vendors, such as Tibco, WebMethods, SeeBeyond, and Vitria continue to suffer. While CIOs consistently rate integration as a top priority, the EAI vendor landscape has changed radically. One the one hand, large vendors such as IBM and BEA have cornered a large part of the EAI market. On the other hand, Web services standards holds out promise of easier "roll your own" integration between software components in the future. Therefore, customers that have not already committed to an EAI vendor may be holding out hope that an EAI software decision--which can be huge--can be avoided. Most analysts agree that there will continue to be a market for EAI software, although only Tibco and WebMethods are likely to remain as standalone EAI vendors.by Frank Scavo, 7/14/2003 01:03:00 PM | permalink | e-mail this!

Epicor swallowing ROI Systems
The ERP vendor consolidation trend continues with Epicor (EPIC) completing its acquisition of ROI Systems, a privately held Tier III player known for its MANAGE 2000 ERP system. As I have written previously, Epicor has been traveling the same path as MAPICS and SSA GT to build a large installed base by acquiring weaker competitors. One might also include Best Software and Exact Software as examples of enterprise system vendors pursuing a rollup strategy.
Details on Epicor's acquisition of ROI are in Epicor's press release.by Frank Scavo, 7/09/2003 09:05:00 PM | permalink | e-mail this!

Managing change is key to enterprise system success. One of the key points in my AICPA presentation this week will be the need to treat enterprise systems projects as change management efforts. The McKinsey Quarterly this month has an excellent article on the psychology of change management, and it outlines four conditions for changing the mind-set of employees. They are:
According to McKinsey, each of these conditions is realized independently. but "together they add up to a way of changing the behavior of people in organizations by changing attitudes about what can and should happen at work."
- A purpose to believe in. "Employees will alter their mind-sets only if they see the point of the change and agree with it—at least enough to give it a try."
- Reinforcement systems. "The surrounding structures (reward and recognition systems, for example) must be in tune with the new behavior."
- Training in skills required for change. "Many change programs make the error of exhorting employees to behave differently without teaching them how to adapt general instructions to their individual situation."
- Consistent role models. "Employees must see people they respect actively modeling the change."

On a personal note. I will be speaking this Friday at The American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) Conference in Las Vegas on the subject of Process Improvement and ERP--Making the Investment Pay off, Finally! I am a last minute substitute for my friend, Dick Kuiper, of AQA Research, who put together some excellent material on the subject. Now I get to go and deliver it. Here's the abstract:
Process improvement and Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) should go hand in hand. But many times, it is difficult to connect the two--in fact, the majority of ERP systems implemented over the past 5 –10 years have failed to deliver on the promised benefits for this very reason. Organizations must deploy a solid process improvement strategy if they want to realize the benefits of an effective ERP system. ERP, being a set of business processes that build upon process improvement initiatives, enables companies to dramatically improve customer service and productivity, both internally and externally, while sharply lowering costs and inventories. This session will assist the participant with identifying process improvement initiatives while planning an ERP implementation or re-implementation endeavor.This is normally where I would invite readers to register and attend, but the conference is already sold out.by Frank Scavo, 7/07/2003 03:02:00 PM | permalink | e-mail this!

Cost of compliance with Sarbanes-Oxley isn't mainly in new systems
Bob Gilson pointed me today to a recent survey on the costs of Sarbanes-Oxley compliance, and the results don't back up software vendor hopes that Sarbanes-Oxley is "the next Y2K" for IT spending. The survey by PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) survey of US-based multi-national corporations found that only 41% cited new tools and technology as being at least "somewhat costly" in their compliance efforts.
Rather, the main costs of compliance appear to be for internal resources. According to the survey, 76% of the cost of Sarbanes-Oxley compliance is for added internal resources, and 24% for external assistance. A majority of executives listed several aspects of compliance as being at least "somewhat costly," including documentation (mentioned by 74%); legal requirements (72%); detailed policy development (65%); self-assessment (62%); attest requirements and certifications (59%); and staff training (56%).
According to Frank Brown of PwC, "Much of the cost of complying with Sarbanes-Oxley lies in gathering and certifying information. Although some companies may need to upgrade their corporate systems to provide information required by the new law, many executives see these new capabilities as adding value beyond mere compliance."
A summary of the report is on PwC's Barometer Surveys web site.by Frank Scavo, 7/01/2003 09:47:00 AM | permalink | e-mail this!

I tried booting
on my HP Vectra VE, 64 MB.
(It runs Puppy 3.01 just fine.)
I used "puppy pfix=ram".
Some errors went sailing by,
but now it is stuck repeating endlessly:
SQUASHFS error: Unable to read page, block d8ee08, size 8da2
SQUASHFS error: sb_bread failed reading block 0x365e
I do not know which of the two error lines above comes first.

Testing on AMD PC (Pentium 4 grade) with HP 1300N printer:
- pmount's mounting/unmounting USB drive can take ages - I tried 2 USB drives and in the second USB mounting, pmount virtually disappeared and the CPU usage steadily climbed, so I had to killall pmount. Later, I restarted pmount and was able to unmount one USB after the another; pmount disappeared for about 3 minutes, then reappeared.
- volume control box would not disappear when opened.
Is this the same PC that earlier exhibited the problem with recognising USB drives?
You will need to delve underneath Pmount and find out just where the slowness is occurring. Pmount uses 'probedisk' and 'probepart' to probe the drives, so run those directly.
To mount a partition, test the 'mount' program, for example:
# mount -t vfat /dev/sdg1 /mnt/data
...if that proves to be the cause of the slowness, try this:
# mount-FULL -t vfat /dev/sdg1 /mnt/data
The volume control will disappear if you click on the loudspeaker icon.

If you restart 'cupsd' then it scans all ppd files in /usr/share/cups/model, I know, mine works.

The resolution found "out of the box" for my laptop (xorg) is 1024x748 instead of 1480x800 as it should be.
Do you have a seperate Graphics card (especially an ATi)? If so it probably needs a special driver to cater for "odd" resolutions. It happens to me every time until the (usually proprietory) driver has been compiled and a .pet assembled - usually by Kirk or one of the other specialists. Until then it's 1024 x 768 whatever xorg.conf says!
I do not think my graphic card is that odd.
It is a built-in AGP GeForce4 440 Go 64M.
A far as I remember Puppy recognize the right resolution only since 2.17, or 3.0. For previous releases, I needed to manually tweak xorg.conf.
About dingo alpha3, I have to say that after a start from a saved session, the network settings were lost and I needed to reselect the wifi settings and restart a dhcp request to have internet work.
Do you know what Xorg server is required for your hardware? -- look at /etc/X11/xorg.conf in an earlier Puppy.
If you want to be adventurous, you can grab the correct Xorg server and put it into alpha3 -- see the announcement for alpha3 release on the blog for more details. You are probably currently running the 'vesa' server, which may account for the resolution problem.

Regarding it being "confusing" not having 'hda', that's the way it is. The major distros have gone over to this system and eventually all will, except for those stuck on the 2.4 kernel.
It actually has advantages, being the uniformity of naming the internal drives -- what is really confusing is mixed IDE and SATA drives and the different hd and sd names can cause problems, for example with GRUB.
While it's good that all internal drives are treated the same, what bothers me is that they are not separated from removable drives -- and we know that the "removable" flag is not very dependable... so now it's harder to know what is removable media (i.e. pendrives).
We can distinguish between USB and internal drives, as the init script sets the SATADRIVES variable before loading the USB modules. Now, SATADRIVES (or whatever name I will replace that with) now is a list of all non-USB hard drives.

I seem to recall, when I tested it awhile back, the GUI window had a crappy font -- have you been able to make that look nicer, with say the DejaVue font? -- I'm just going from memory, but I think that I didn't see any way to change the default font.

strange that you are having so much USB trouble
OK, perhaps I will remember not to use two USB drives together, as incompatibility among certain USB drives is a fact.
So the AMD PC that I mentioned is my printer test setup (no problems there), while the Compaq Presario is my "USB all-trouble" machine.
(Even 2.14R v 1.00 fails to mount USB drives there).

Boot Dingo 4.00alpha3 "puppy pfix=ram" takes 119 seconds (including set up of external RS232 dial up modem) on this old, slow desktop.
Boot Puppy 3.01 "puppy pfix=ram" takes 208 seconds (including set up of external RS232 dial up modem) on this old, slow desktop.
Via PupDial, Dingo 4.00alpha3: With or without firewall, the external RS232 dial up modem _WILL NOT CONNECT TO INTERNET_, although everything appears normal in the WvDial connection log. When firewall is used, the log report is normal. No change of the PupDial graphical interface settings will allow Dingo 4.00alpha3 to connect to the Internet via PPP and this RS232 external dial up modem.
Ditto to all of the above-described problems when using GNOME PPP under Dingo 4.00alpha3. Which is to say, GNOME PPP seems to work just fine, seems to connect to the Internet, but no functional Internet connection is available under GNOME PPP, just as it is not available under PupDial.
Via PupDial, Puppy 3.01: With or without firewall, the external RS232 dial up modem successfully connects to the Internet each and every time. When firewall is used, the log report is normal With or without firewall, Puppy 3.01 Internet connect and transfer speed is _very fast indeed_ relative to the same external RS232 modem used under Windows 98SE or Windows XP SP1 or SP2.
Dingo 4.00alpha3: Pmount successfully mounts all USB drives of whatever sort, while Dingo 4.00alpha 2 did not mount any USB drives.
Dingo 4.00alpha3 Pmount has not been compared to Puppy 3.01 MUT relative to successfully recognizing and successfully mounting otherwise unmountable and unreadable "broken" hard drives, an area wherein MUT seems to excel remarkably, even magically. In fact, MUT excels when even the native OS's and the specially designed task-specific OS's / recovery programs will not work at all. Is it possible, even conceivable, that I am secretly pleading for the inclusion of MUT in the final release of Puppy 4.00?
Dingo 4.00alpha3 and Puppy 3.01 both report usable RAM on this desktop as 127 MB RAM ("puppy pfix=ram" boot).
CUPS printer setup does not seem to work in Dingo 4.00alpha3, regardless of the amount of time I wait for the printer setup screen to appear after the initial explanation screen that generally tells you what to do when you finally get to the CUPS setup. In Puppy 3.01, this takes some time, but in Dingo 4.00alpha 3, "some time" never ends..
As an aside, now that I have used SeaMonkey on Puppy, I like SeaMonkey enough to use it on Windows 98 and XP, especially since SeaMonkey has a Composer with an English _DICTIONARY_ out-of-the-box, whereas AbiWord does not have a dictionary out-of-the-box, although AbiWord is an otherwise excellent word processor. Perhaps in the final release of Puppy 4.00, AbiWord can be equipped with an English dictionary?
Overall, Dingo 4.00 appears to be a major step forward, which is saying quite a lot when you factor in an otherwise excellent Puppy 3.01. Especially since Puppy 3.01 is equipped with MUT.
Hail Puppy!

Subject description: dinggo 393 issues
Hey all,
My hardware:
Asus p4gpl-x mb
Intel P4 Prescott 3.0 gb processor
Radeon X800XT pci graphics
1 gb DDR2
MS trackball optical usb
Was really looking forward to the smp kernel. installed alpha 3 from an internal sata partition. On 1st boot and subsequent 1st boots on several more re-installs, bootup would only continuously "loop" @ xwin, never made it to desktop, never even offered up the the keyboard language/xorg/xvesa options. No, didn't burn to cd since it ran smartly from the directory. One other person in this thread was seeing a similar problem with looping.
After these failures, opened up the zdrv and swapped the whole of /lib out...still no joy. Finally swapped out /etc and /usr from the pre-install bootup and was then able to get to desktop, after tweaking the "PUPSTATE" file in /etc/rc.d. Able to narrow the problem down to /etc, so put the original /usr back in. Well, only a couple hours tossed.
When finally getting to desktop, had "no mouse"...RATS! Spent some time trying to access the keyboard/mouse wiz with only the keyboard, and even this was fun, as there was no indication of where one was in the menu gui, once you're in that particular gui. Anyway, got it down, and the mouse was up, and stayed up as long as one didn't "reboot". Mouse config was always lost on a reboot. Got quite good at getting the mouse cooking again though.
Chased around for a few more hours with the mouse issue 'til recalling that 390 had an issue with mouse also (none of the required modules were loaded) so decided to swap out the modules for those from 392, as the mouse was working on that install.
Of course, 392 has a 26217 kernel, but I figured ,prolly not much else could go as far south as has already, so, swapped the kernel and modules from 392, rebooted, Voilla!!! Destop with a working mouse...so much for the smp kernel. Minimal checks: alsa config'd nicely, gxine qui came up from icon/menu, pnethood works, and my favored cifs works. Not much else tried except I'm writing this from seamonkey.
The point...appears to be kernel or module issues with the 2.6.24-rc4. As far as modules, don't know for sure, but from previous observations, usb modules may be loading in the wrong order. Perhaps I'm in the wrong order, err...out-of-order...
PS: Looping @ xwin=missing /etc/mtab file, not copied over with install. Dropped in mtab from another puppy install, reboot, and "country / xorg chooser led to desktop. Remaining issue: mouse still not functioning normally, have to revisit mouse/keyboard wiz via keyboard on every reboot.

As I need another locale then available locally I tried to fetch the locales from the net via choose locale for your country.
As soon as the button is pushed nothing happens, no network activity.
Very annoying to test this alpha 3.
The locale PET package has not yet been uploaded to ibiblio. No PET packages have been uploaded to ibiblio.
Is this pet package available somewhere else?
Time savers:
Find packages in a snap and install using Puppy Package Manager (Menu).
Consult Wikka

I wish I could have told those mothers that children should know;
The best gifts we can give our children are an uncompetitive and cheerful childhood.
Open your eyes to all sorts of possibilities...Discover creative ways to reuse recycled and natural materials.
I think I would have had to jump up and give that mom a hug!!ReplyDelete
Amen, sisters! : )ReplyDelete
Amen! Lord knows that unless their parents choose to homeschool the rest of their school years will be enough of a competition.
Let's put the pre back in pre-school.
Thank you for the reminder that we do not have to follow the rest of the world!!!! :-) So happy to hear it from like-minded parents and thank you for sharing this beautiful pictures and stories.ReplyDelete
Oh my gracious - my heart feels exactly the same as yours!! There have been plenty enough times where I've heard my mom friends having convos very similar to that one that you overheard...I think that it's overly common with a lot of moms.
What YOU said, though...these are the things that matter most! [applause applause!] :D

Ghouls just like to have fun at Halloween.
So do entomologists.
When the Bohart Museum of Entomology. located at 1124 Academic Surge, University of California, Davis, holds its annual Halloween Open House, guests are in for a real treat.
A few tricks, too--in the form of tricky costumes.
This year forensic entomologist Bob Kimsey, dressed in a ghillie suit, the kind of camouflage clothing turkey hunters wear. Note: No turkeys were harmed in the wearing of the suit.
Graduate student Matan Shelomi looked just like Billy the Exterminator.
Bohart Museum director Lynn Kimsey, who as the former chair of the Department of Entomology, helped coordinate the honey bee program and activities during her tenure, dressed as...you guessed it...a queen bee.
Community ecologist Louie Yang, assistant professor of entomology, captured a few images, including one of Kimsey with another past chair, Oscar Bacon. A black widow spider hovered nearby.
Year around, the Bohart is home to seven million insect specimens, and a few live ones--or what Kimsey calls "the petting zoo." The zoo includes Madagascar hissing cockroaches, Vietnamese walking sticks and assorted other critters.
If the "petting zoo" critters could talk, they'd still be talking about the director disguised as a queen bee, a graduate student posing as an exterminator and a forensic entomologist dressed in a ghillie suit.
Meanwhile, the Bohart Museum is gearing up for two open house days: Sunday, Nov. 14 from 1 to 4 p.m., and Saturday, Dec. 11 from 1 to 4 p.m. Those are in addition to the regular weekday hours.
Don't expect any queen bees, exterminators or ghillie suits there, though.
