has anyone heard of thermography for detecting breast cancer?
I am a little leery of mammograms, I did have a baseline mamo at age 35. Now at 41 I am thinking I should have something done either, mammo or thermograhy. I do have family history of cancer. My mom had a lumpectomy at 69, then one year later she was diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer.
Yesterday I learned an old friend of mine, who is my age, has breast cancer and cervical cancer. It's terrible. Cancer just scares the sh!t out of me. But I don't necessarily go along 100% with Western doctors. But I also think that *IF* my mother had a colonoscopy 10 years earlier, she might still be here with us.

Please listen to this composition from Boards of Canada.
Doesn't anyone feel like this would ironically apply to those listening to "bad" music? Think about it.
I always hear that people want men to be more emotional. Why do they get so uncomfortable when they see a man with tears streaming down his face? It's a natural reaction to a difficult time.
Damn. I really miss you already. It's pretty painful right now, but you really helped me a lot. I hope you have a great life.
This will be a hell of a holiday. A brother is going to put a dent in some kleenex and some spiral notebooks.
Who would ban some music as benign as that BOC. But now I have to ask you. How does this music make you feel? Do you like to bump this on the way home from work on Friday? When you are ironing to go to the club on Saturday? When?

You and I had a great time in the CyberHood. I loved our back and forth silliness. I guess you won't ever answer that message I sent you on AP, just to see how you're doing. Your AP profile is gone. So I went to look for yo ass tonight on YT. Ummmm, why in the fuck would you erase even the comments you made on my videos?!! That's some weird shit, right there. Kinda creepy. At any rate, I'll keep listening to the Tamar kali and Meshell Ndegeocello that you sent me. And that Bad Brains dvd is still the shit!! I don't normally lose friends like this, but I guess some folks just throw cyber friendships away by removing comments and clicking shit. Oh yeah, and I still have your published photo up in my house. I was so proud of you. Damn, I'm sensitive. I was already missing you. Now, I guess I need to get over it. It still sucks, though.
Boards of Canada music is the type of music you listen to when you just want to go somewhere. But rather than just any escapist, BoC makes it seem like more of a cinematic travel. You listen to it on your downtime, when you need to calm down, most definitely after-work tunage...BoC is the kind of music that I have always said replaces sex. Because the sound is more than just interesting, it's soothing and original in its production.

It's crazy how stuff turns out, your mind expands and how knots just kind of untie. I can hear you saying "you untied them". I'll miss you.
Damn. I'm doing good. It's been a flawed week, but a hell of a leaps and bounds week. Wish I could tell you about it.
You will never get any further acting like you do. I don't think you will ever understand that you have to treat people the way you would want to be treated.
= No, you get out ofm MY face. And leave the carbs & high fat foods alone or you're gonna need a wheeelchair soon.
= Y'all screw me on this & I will get you back. Slowly & strategeticly. Chill with that bullshit.
= I go waaaay out of my way for you so don't even pull that crap. You need to chill with that nonsense.
= Whew, thanks Vent thread. Steppping away, taking breath, and venting here does help release some of the negative energy. 'Cause for real I wanted to get rowdy with somebody a second ago; woosaaahhh ha.
I know you have unlimited minutes, but I don't have unlimited minutes in my life. Color commentary of you shopping for a belt at Stein Mart would only be tolerable for someone truly obsessed and I sure don't qualify. The more you do it, the less I want to kick it.
Not looking forward to your visit. You guys remind me of fiends in a drought season, scraping the carpet hoping that piece of lint you see out of the corner of your eye is a fragment. Things are never going to be the way they were, and a lot of that is your fault. You want to roll CLK, but you want a Kia payment.
I have to make things better. I have to remember that things are better, but continue to push forward even a little bit EVERY DAY.
I also have to really believe my life really can be better and people under all kinds of circumstances are still moving forward. The pinnacles and bounties are still out there for all of us.
(for the millionth time, keyboard/pc is tripping so the grammar/text may be screwed up)
= Watch your things. and don't accuse me with the "passive/agressive" shit when you're oing the same. Let's both chill and give each other space.
= I need to be alone; near recluse like Sly Stone or JD Salinger or some shit. I share space now because I Have little choice at all but this gotta end. I must have my own space totally and soon. these close quarters are driving me nuts no more roommates if I can help it (at least a securely locked door with very little shared space).
= I'll help out. But that's ALL your responsibilty, not mine. you may joke around but that is all you fam.
= we both need this upcoming break bad. have a great time and get business done. but please don't get it twisted about who needs whom; we can & will help & collaborate but we don't have to be handcuffed to each other, no way.
= most of this shit will be past in 24 hours. this is helping me get it all out.
= been said too many times by myself and others: time to cut the crap out and get my shit together. I can do this but I must focus sharply and stick to it.

Greetings, Stalkers. One Eyed Jack here with an idea boiling in my head for a new story. It would be a continuation of the Roadside Picnic world, with heavily influenced references from S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl. The main segments lifted and used for storycrafting being the tampering of the Noosphere, and the mentionings and dark hints that there might be new zones appearing across the world with nuclear disasters, terrorist activities, and wars covering up the truth.
My preferred place would be the British Isles. With much of the land having suffered irreparable damage from a succession of terrorist attacks, the land was labeled inhospitable. Some 3+ years from the initial attack, the first recorded emission happens, and those veterans experienced with what has happened in Chernobyl (And Afghanistan) hold their collective breaths at the thought of more artifacts for the taking.
Anywho. I've not hosted a story on the site since about 2009 under a different name, so I'm going to be more open to constructive and creative criticism, and would be more than happy to copilot this.
PM or post here, I suppose

Albany Herald
I recall the years 1963 and 1964. Tommie Postell and June Bug Griffin, around ages nine and 12 years old. Children bought candy from the Mathis Grocery Store. Their mothers bought groceries by the week paying on the first of the month and those boys were raised by good parents. We had good meats and fresh vegetables every day. We served Holloway, Harding, Van Buren and Gordon streets. All those years, what a change.

agirl_25 10 months, 2 weeks ago
Thank you for the brief letter about your recall of Junebug and Tommie. Do you recall if Tommie was a racist little boy then? I ask because he seems to say such racist things according to quotes in the Albany Herald and I wonder if he was always that way or if he just grew up and became a racist. You said he was raised by good parents and I would certainly hate to think that his horrible behavior now was a reflection on the way he was raised.

When the plugins getting scanned for the first time (not second time), it seems the loading and checking blocks the whole message thread, which is ok so far.
The big problem is, for example if plugin number 10 is scanned, but the GUI shows that still plugin number 1 is scanned, the application seems to freeze. There should be enough time between the plugin-callbacks to handle the GUI-updates, so that the user can see the progress, and not thinks the application is crashed.

SPRINGFIELD (AP) — State health officials are urging Illinois residents to get flu shots.
Doing so, they say, doesn't just benefit the person getting vaccinated; it also protects others by limiting the spread of the flu.
The Illinois Department of Public Health is making that announcement at the start of National Influenza Vaccination Week.

McFadden came in best in Massapequa Park with a beating of about 2 1/ 2 to 1; in Massapequa it was 3 1/ 4 to 1; in Bethpage 3 to 1 and in Farmingdale 3 1/ 2 to 1. McFadden was the only ' insurgent' candidate to come to the Four Seasons, in Westbury, where the Republican final results were being tallied by TOB Republican Leader C. Bruce Pearsall. He spoke before the crowd pledging his support to the Regular Republican organization, but stated that being from Scotland, he was a ' rebel' at heart if the issues were at stake. " Today's returns prove conclusively that there is no room in the political dialogue of suburbia for those who would foster fear and suspicion." said Assemblyman Edwin J. Fehrenbach. '' I take these results as a mandate to continue fighting for improved educational opprotunity for the young people of our burgeoning suburbs without crushing tax burdens imposed upon the shoulders of the average homeown- My record in this struggle is the most important credential for reelection which I intend to bring before every voter in the Fourth Assembly District.'' ' To the Republican committeemen of Oyster Bay; to our Primary Chairman Ed Bracken; to my good friend, Town Chairman Bruce Pearsall; and to County Chairman Joe Carlino I want to express my deepest appreciation for their confidence and support^' Tax Rate Set Below Estimate Foil Agenda For Village Board A full agenda took place at the Farmingdale Village Board of Trustees meeting held Monday night at Village Hall, Main Street. Bids were opened for fuel oil and was awarded to the lowest bidder, Nassau Utilities Fuel Corporation at the amount of .098 per gallon, A Notice of a Public Hearing was read, which had appeared in THE FARMINGDALE OBSERVER, upon a petition of John Pizzutti for a Special Use Permit to erect two ten- unit apartment houses on a plot shown on the Nassau County land and Tax Map as being section 48, Block 447, Lot 74. No one who was opposed appeared at the meeting. The decision of the Board, howevx. T, was reserved. A Bond Anticipation Note in the amount of $ 90,000 for Street Improvements was made in the form of a resolution. Upon motion of Trustee Bill Carman Jr. and seconded by Trustee Norman Krasnow, the Board approved a request by the Farmingdale Public Schools, submitted through their physician, Dr. Albert N. Meyerstein, for the Farmingdale Fire Department to furnish transportation of sick or injured children and staff personnel to the following schools: Main Street, Northside, Weldon E. Howitt and St. Kilian's Parochial School. The Village Clerk was asked to notify the Farming-dale Fire Department. Considerable discussion was held on the subject of a letter by the Village Enginner dated August 25th regarding the curb installation on Staples Street and a penalty to be imposed on the contractor, Radory Construction Corporation for ' faulty workmanship. Vamps Subscription Drive Official The week of October 7- 14, the Farmingdale Volunteer Fire Department of the Incorporated Village, will launch its Second Annual Subscription Drive. Starting October 6th and 7th brochures will be delivered through the village by the Volunteers. During the week of October 7th through 13th the business area will be contacted on Sunday, October 14th, the residential community will be visited. The Department and Subscription Drive Committee urge all members of the Department to assist in the project. The Ladies Auxiliary of the Farmingdale Little League and its affiliates will hold the first regular monthly meeting of the fall season on Thursday evening, September 13 at 8 p. m. in the cafeteria of the Weldon E. Howitt Jr. High School. School District # 22 taxpayers will be paying a slightly lower school-* library- tax rate than anticipated next year due to the higher than anticipated assessed valuation. The tax rate was officially set last Wednesday night at $ 6,783 per $ 100 of assessed valuation for the Town of Oyster Bay sector of the District and $ 10,412 for the Town of Babylon sector of the District. The rate estimated had been: $ 6.77 and $ 10.45 respectively. However the 1962- 63 rate will be slightly higher than the 1961- 62 rate which was in Oyster Bay: $ 6.45 and slightly lower than Babylon's last . year rate of,$ 10.49. The amount of assessed valuation in the Oyster Bay sector is $ 63,542,915 and $ 11,264,276 in the Babylon sector. Farmingdale School District tax rate is always set later than other school districts within Nassau County due to the overlapping into Suffolk County- where assessed valuations are compiled at a later date. Of the $ 6,748 figure of the Town of Oyster Bay; $ 6,364 represents school tax; .275 represents library tax and .099 represents Youth Council tax; in the Town of Babylon figure of $ 10.412-$ 9.835 is for schools; .423 for library; .154 is for Youth CounciL In dollars and cents Babylon residents do* not pay any more than Town of Oyster Bay residents- since the assessments on real estate are proportionately lower. Chamber Signs Up New Members A representative number of Main Street merchants, professional men and industrial executives gathered at Village Hall Farmingdale for the Farmingdale Chamber of Commerce Meeting Held Monday night. The permanent officers, who had been serving this summer as temporary officials, were elected as follows: Joe Merendino, President Larry Mabe, Treasurer, Sal Mag-glio, Vice President, Edith Seaman, Recording Secretary; and Murray Tuck, Corresponding Secretary. A discussion ensued on the financing and purchase of Christmas lights on Main Street. It was decided that a committee be formed as a merchants group, but as part of the Chamber of Commerce. Sy Wolly of Wolly's Hardware will head the committee. It was emphasized, however, that sectional needs such as lights on Main street, or a patrolman in die industrial section, must receive die overall cooperation of every member. October 1st was selected as the next Chamber meeting date.

TORRINGTON >> Valerie Manor once again is pleased to host and sponsor the 11th Annual Festival of Trees to benefit LARC.
The event is open to the public through Sunday, Dec. 2, 1 to 7 p.m. daily. This year the event features a wide range of exciting themed trees, gift baskets, hand- made afghans and designed crystal items, each artfully and lovingly created by hand of all sizes and ages, from children as well many of our more "weathered" seniors who reside at Valerie Manor. The exhibit includes nearly 100 items.
Once again the Shades of Northwest Hills Painting Club, who are weekly volunteers at Valerie Manor, collaborated with residents in determining the overall theme and look of their tree.
Recalling their many years of baking sweet treats and cookies for their families, Valerie Manor residents created cookie ornaments from clay, artfully painted each one and then provided their own tried-and-true family recipe cards.
The annual event has grown over the years, attracting the attention, curiosity and generosity of "artists" and designer types from all walks of life. Area business, community volunteers and "Friends for Life" design an item and donate it for the exhibit and silent auction.
All items offered for exhibit are part of the silent auction. All funds raised will support the personal wishes of LARC program participants, in addition to underwriting the cost of summer camp scholarships for Camp Moe. The event closes Dec. 2 at 5 p.m.
"This Annual Festival of trees is wonderful," said Thomas Walkuski, administrator at Valerie Manor. "It gives my residents the opportunity to enjoy watching volunteers design and decorate their trees. Then for the next 10 days, they enjoy sitting in the lobby with family, grandchildren and friends reminiscing childhood memories. We are proud to host and sponsor the festival and respect the contributions of all of the volunteers who make it possible."
Valerie Manor, located at 1360 Torringford St. (Route 183) has been serving the community for the past 26 years. Valerie Manor is a skilled nursing and rehabilitation center, which provides short term care including physical, occupational and speech therapy in addition to long term and dementia care. Valerie Manor is managed by Athena Health Care Systems, Inc. For additional information visit us at athenahealthcare.com/valeriemanor.
To visit Valerie Manor or to schedule a private tour, contact Donna Belanger, Director of Admissions at 860.489.1008 extension 107.

Fighting? At School?...Seriously?
GM- Supreme Command
Co-Gm(s)- Sorinika, FallenWolf, YuukiSuzuki
What would happen when you have a school only for fighting and training within the school itself? Hate? Rage? Violence? Love? Lust? Or even perhaps....victory? What will you make of this highschool? Will you fight to be on top? Or just go with the flow like most here? Well that's all down to you now isn't it?

My One Local Summer: week two meal
Not dinner yet
I ask myself this question on occasion: Am I an epicure?
I hesitate to answer it in the positive for many reasons. Mainly, I don't think I am there yet. (And also, can I really be an epicure if I deny myself the pleasure of animal flesh?) Yes, 'tis true, I do have high standards. I mean, hell, I moved my family from the city to the country so I could GROW SOME FOOD. And at restaurants, I have a very low threshold for the mediocre: if I am paying for a meal, especially now that good meals are hard to find, that meal better sing. But I mainly answer in the negative (so far) because, in essence, I am asking myself, Am I Insufferable Yet?
This was last night's fare. (It was my birthday, so I cooked for five.) Beets are coming in, and boy, do I love them. Crepes are easy yet people think they're magical. Feta. I made my first feta ever with milk from my goat guy. And fava beans. They never do really well for me, yet, like a spurned lover, I keep planting them, year after year, and tend them with such care. Oh, and salad. We're at the point here where our salads are bigger than the salad spinner can take.
Buckwheat crepes: ground buckwheat from last year's planting; eggs from Bea and Bonnie; local whole wheat flour; stock from last year's veggies; salt and butter not local.
Beet filling: Chioggia and Detroit Red beets and their greens; Walla Walla onions; hardneck garlic; Italian parsley, Par-cel cutting celery, garlic scapes and onion greens as garnish. All from the garden.
Crepe topping: Stock, goat-milk feta.
Salad: Speckled romaine, Amish deer tongue, bibb, arugula, cress, onion greens, garlic scapes and the last of the peas, with vinaigrette made from last year's scallions, garden herbs and local gone-bad red wine
Favas: Just butter.
Dessert: Mom made a tart cherry pie, with some of my local flour, Michigan sugar, and local (to her) cherries.
Beverages: Local wines from Tabor Hill.

I grew fava beans this year for the first time and they did really well, but they are so darn hard to prepare to eat. I'm not sure they are worth it.
- meresy_g said...
I've never grown fava beans. I'm not sure I've ever even eaten one. I think you can be an epicure while eschewing animal flesh. The Moosewood people are certainly gourmands. Your meal looks fabulous, espcially the crepes.
Wow! That sure looks yummy.
- The County Clerk said...
Too too funny.
So, it sounds like you want someone to tell you that you are insufferable. Well... based on what I read here... it seems clear that...
naw... you aren't insufferable.
But you a dman-straight foodie. I'll say THAT. - 6:01 PM
- Gullebarn said...
Wow! That looks yummy. I love cheese like that.
I am not sure how I am supposed to notify people when I have my week's meal up -- or do you check everyone's blogs? I went ahead and created a new blog for my OLS meals, to keep things simple. The new blog is at http://www.blackhills.wordpress.com The old blog was www.gullebarn.blogspot.com -- I hope that doesn't get too confusing!

oooo.... that looks damn fine.
I grew favas once. good, but sooo much work to get something edible.
(have I wished you a happy birthday yet? If not, happy birthday. ;) - 1:11 PM

FGLB: I know, it's surprising how many steps are required to cook them. But it's LOVE here, man.
M: Thanks! Guess I am looking for some affirmation. (And crepes are easy.)
Jules: it was. No leftovers for the kid's lunch the next day, sniff.
Hank: Ah. So I am not yet an INSUFFERABLE foodie.
Evie: Don't worry, I found you just fine. Liz gave me some tips.
Liz: you did, but I don't mind another birthday wish. And yeah, like I told Matt above, they're work, but that somehow makes them all the more precious (or so it seems to me). - 9:30 AM

Makes my mouth water, El.

I vote you an epicure for sure... :)
- El said...
Leslie and Kim: it's the persuasive power of beets, I am sure! I just adore them; so pretty, so useful. I can them, too, so they're enjoyed (mostly by a piggish me) through the year.
- Stacie said...
for me, the beets are my spurned lover! i plant em every year, but they never grow!!!
Hi El, I love those beets too : )
Thank you for all the nice things you say on the roundup, what a job it is to go gather. Yes we have had a time with our flood and all.
On this weeks OLS on the roundup it clicks on to my last weeks dinner I made, I made a spaghetti and buffalo dish this last time.
I did get my weeks mixed up and srated a week earlier,lol. I changed it so my blog yesterday is week 2. If you can change it to click into yesterday blog that will be great.

Two spare places
Hello everybody.
Myself and some others have rented two chalets at Kinlochewe in May, from the 3rd to the 10th - nice place!
There are currently two spare places (i.e. one twin room) going at the very reasonable price of 62.50 pounds each - cheaper than a week in a hostel.
Kinlochewe is very well situated for walking and climbing in the famously beautiful areas of Torridon and Fisherfield - Kinlochewe
Anyone who is interested email me via the forum
I know that AT & I are really looking forward to getting out to play in this glorious area again and with hills like this who could resist
I have stayed in these chalets and they are in an absolutely fantastic, wonderful location. We had one with a view of Slioch from the bed! Excellent accomodation, in hillwalking paradise; highly recommended.
Glad to hear that ALS. We stayed in a B&B last time but wanted a bit more flexibility of self catering this time and the Lodges certainly looked great on their website.

North Korea: Kerry said former basketball player Dennis Rodman's trip to North Korea wouldn't do anything to resolve the tension between Pyongyang and much of the rest of the world.
"I have great respect for Dennis Rodman as a basketball player. As a diplomat, he was a great basketball player," Kerry quipped.
Kerry said Pyongyang continues to make "belligerent and reckless moves that threaten the region, their neighbors and now, directly, the United States of America."
"It's very easy for Kim Jong Un to prove his good intent here also. Just don't fire the next missile. Don't have the next test. Just say you're ready to talk."
His appointment as secretary of state: Kerry said he didn't accept the job to be a "yes person," and doesn't think Obama wants him to be, despite Washington chatter that the second-term president is assembling a team that largely mirrors his own views. "I don't think the president appreciates just 'yes' people," Kerry said. "I think he is a man who has a very highly developed intellect and looks for answers to tough issues in a very inquisitive, Socratic way, and he looks for every point of view he can, and then he makes the tough decisions. So my job is to tell him the truth."

posted 1 Jan 2001 in Volume 4 Issue 4
Turtles all the way down and all the way up
At KM Europe 2000, Marcus Speh Birkenkrahe presented a keynote speech on the future of knowledge management in the new economy. The following article, which is concluded in the next issue of Knowledge Management, includes the main text of what proved to be an extremely well-received presentation.
Allow me to un-ground you, and take you with me even beyond the proverbial 30,000 feet, to where there is even less oxygen. Lets then look down at what weve done in knowledge management and what most of us would like to do in the future, and see whether it stands the test of time. Whether what we think the discipline of knowledge management holds in stock is indeed good enough to create superior value in the years ahead.
When squirming around in those lofty heights, each and every one of you will be confronted with what we might call philosophical views and opinions - the kind of stuff that we dont have much time to spend on when were down there where the real work is. And here is something I learned from a French movie by Eric Rohmer that I recently saw: A philosophy teacher is asked how she gets anything useful done during her philosophy classes, given that everybody has his or her own philosophy. Her reply is simple: "I am careful", she says, "to add to the picture and not to destroy my students philosophies. Whatever philosophical thought I leave with them must align with what they already feel and believe."
My key messagesKnowledge management as a discipline is coming of age. Its time to review the impact we have made, and to critically assess our methods and our approach. As the French say, Qui aime bien, châtie bien: what you really love, you will critisise well.
I will argue in favour of a few key messages. They are as follows:
Let me begin with a list of obvious successes of knowledge management over the past half decade:
So there is a lot to be proud of, after a relatively short amount of time: Most meaningful long-term studies of organisational behaviour theory last three times longer than it has taken KM to gain world-wide attention.
To understand why I think we are indeed at a turning point, perhaps because KM has been quite successful, I need to put these successes into a new context. What do we mean when we speak of a new economy? I prefer the simple, but consequential definition given a couple of years ago by Kevin Kelly in his book New Rules for the New Economy. He states: "This new economy has three distinguishing characteristics: It is global. It favours intangible things - ideas, information, and relationships. And it is intensely inter-linked. These three attributes produce a new type of marketplace and society, one that is rooted in ubiquitous electronic networks."
We immediately get a taste for how profoundly the new economy has altered the scene for knowledge management, as well as for any other management science. To begin with, messages that were handed out a few years ago like water in the desert, suddenly dont sound that exciting anymore.
Once the news is out that the economy favours intangible assets, there is really little more to say about that. What is immediately of interest is the character of these attributes, and how they interrelate in the new marketplace that we see emerging. And here knowledge management has little new to tell. Lets look at the attributes in turn.
Globality is poorly understood. Everybody is aware of the struggle between local and global aspects - of culture, of the environment, and of organisations. Multinationals literally oscillate between decentralisation and centralisation. Communication technology is said to benefit the local agents - because it gives them access to the centre and other local agents, and it is also used as an excuse to eliminate local agents, because holding data and information centrally is so much more cost-effective. Likewise, everybody agrees that there are virtually no truly global organisations, only organisations with global presence. The rise of a new type of retailer, like Amazon.com, has complicated the issue even further. The point is that KM has not even begun to seriously address the issue of globality, which is central to KM implementations - in both multinationals and locally operating firms.
Looking at intangible assets, nowhere does the battle of words rage stronger. Yes, knowledge and information are firmly on the mental map of most organisations. And we have an understanding that knowledge is context-dependent - hence we learned to distinguish between tacit and explicit knowledge. Some even equate knowledge management with the theory and practice of conversion between tacit and explicit knowledge.
Take the basic distinction between knowledge and information. We all probably feel that we intuitively understand how they are different. When learning how to ride a bicycle for example, there is a lot of information available - about the optimum balance, about the different muscle groups involved, and so forth. But in order to know how to ride a bicycle, you dont need any of this information. In fact, you most likely dont have it. Much has been written about this distinction, and problems of a similar kind have occupied thinkers throughout human history. Nevertheless, you will find that KM practitioners often use the terms knowledge and information interchangeably.
Which opens the door to thinking that information management and knowledge management is pretty much the same thing. And if you look at what many so-called knowledge management companies are selling, you will find that they present what is actually a document management solution, packaged as a knowledge management solution.
Dont get me wrong: Ive got nothing against document management, or information management - in fact, quite the opposite. Rather, I am arguing against the trend of treating each discipline the same, as if the difference didnt really matter after all. And I should say that I have been guilty of this myself in my own writing.
I think it is fair to say that thick fog still surrounds a lot of our terminology. And this is not just a war of words, because were up against a lot of prejudices here. After all, the current real economic world is used to think of itself as based on hard, tangible assets, not on intangible assets. And while companies start to accept that continuous innovation and managing knowledge are very important indeed, at the end of the day they still consider knowledge management a luxury, not something that keeps executives up at night.
To finish my brief discussion of the characteristics of the new economy and what KM has to offer it at the moment, lets look at interlinked-ness, or connectivity. This has become another commonplace, and another one where it is easy to get mixed up - in this case with the importance of infrastructure, which is widely regarded as a technology issue. The hidden assumption is that a high degree of connectivity alone will do the job; will magically lead to more sharing and more re-use of knowledge. We all know thats not true, but somehow we still look at connections made via computer with different eyes, and we nurse the hope that it will all be different this time.
Kevin Kelly states that the three attributes, described above, produce a new type of marketplace and society - something that weve witnessed over the past two or three years. These attributes can be stated, in generalised terms, as the new impact of context, content and connectivity on our culture. Knowledge management has something to say in each of these areas, but we havent been clear enough.
And if our thinking is not clear, how can we hope to communicate clearly? Knowledge management has the potential to be more than a potpourri of terms and methods, but it currently does not live up to this potential.
KM must change the way it looks at its past, present and futureTo realise this potential, KM must change the way it looks at its past, its present, and its future. Regarding the past, take the example of comparisons with other management methods, like TQM (Total Quality Management), or BPR (Business Process Re-engineering), or even with related disciplines, like competitive intelligence. While these comparisons seem suitable at first glance, they actually are not.
There is a reason that we associate a higher potential for change with a discipline that refers to knowledge, to one of the highest achievements of individual and societal activity. To begin with, TQM and BPR are non-integrative, they are management techniques that live off selection and restriction, not integration. Competitive intelligence on the other hand, is an off-shoot of business intelligence, which is a civil version of military intelligence - not without merits, but very limited in scope, and exclusive by its very nature.
So the first thing we must do is assume a different heritage. I will later get into more detail, but for now let me remind you that there are three very distinguished candidates among the sciences - physics, biology, and psychology. The sciences associated with the world of matter, of life, and of mind are all going through a similar process; they are trying to overcome the splits between each other and within themselves, to become more integrative, more holistic. To name only two examples of integration within: The integration in physics between Newtonian mechanics and quantum mechanics, spanning a period of over 200 years of intense research; and the integration of Freudian psychoanalytic theory with Ancient Eastern theories of consciousness.
Now, about the present. I have already mentioned that I think KM terminology lacks clarity - and in particular in areas that are core to the new economy. But I believe the problem lies deeper. To support my point, I want to give you a list of currently unresolved issues in knowledge management.
Let me start with three truly big questions for knowledge managers:
These are some of the big questions that plague us, whether we are aware of it or not. Many of you will immediately see the connection with other philosophical issues that have been discussed throughout the history of ideas. There are of course the usual simple cures; either pretend that these are non-questions, that they dont matter for doing practically useful things. Alternatively, by pretending, in a mechanistic-reductionist fashion, that the world is just a giant, complicated sort of machine - that there is one big formula, and that it is only a matter of time until weve figured it out.
In the first case, if you consider these non-questions, you believe that questions such as these only hold us down, stop us from making faster progress, like mind-acrobatics. In the second case, if you believe that we only need to figure out the underlying rules, you will think that the answers for all three questions are obvious.
There is a second category of open issues, all of which usually come in the form of choices, or alternatives that are, if not mutually exclusive, hardly overlapping:
Many of these issues are hot in the sense that they are currently debated, and most of you will have an opinion one way or the other. Let me point out that many of these issues are also hot in discussions about old versus new economy - for example the dominance of networks over hierarchy, or the re-definition of competitors as partners, collaborators, and customers.
To put these questions in the right context is not an academic issue, but lies at the basis of how we view, for example, the chances of dotcom companies to survive, or which strategic alliances we pursue, or how we think about customer information as a form of intellectual capital.
One way in which knowledge management needs to change here and now is by accepting that the complexity of these questions requires that we focus more on integration of issues, and on transcending polarities, instead of thinking that there always needs to be one - and only one - answer, which is how most of us have been brought up in business. Which is also why we are often unwilling to deal with uncertainty by leaving decisions open, and by designing more flexible environments around great challenges.
Besides deciding on open issues, I also believe that knowledge managers need to work on their ability to prepare and conduct effective interventions. Such interventions include a series of processes, such as: Analysis of the situation, confrontation with the agents, synthesis of the analysis and the results of the confrontation, change, and then analysis again to review the change.
In my experience, to effectively carry out this process poses common issues for many KM practitioners today. We need to raise the standard of analysis, compared with analysis standards that are common in the modern social or natural sciences discourse. For example, in publications on KM, very few authors make use of the technique of cross reference or peer review - this makes it easy for outsiders to enter the field, but it lowers the overall quality of contributions.
Regarding the problem of confrontation - here we certainly need better techniques and training, but also a different approach. Implementing knowledge management frequently raises issues in organisations that require a confrontation with managers to get resolved. Knowledge managers, often with backgrounds in IT or information management, tend to be too isolated in the organisation to face confrontation alone, and too isolated to effectively synthesise the results for change. And if their involvement in the implementation is bound to a technology implementation lifecycle, then they wont stay around long enough to follow up on change with analysis and further recommendations. Instead of addressing the CEO or other top management, like the CFO, knowledge managers seem still to be more comfortable talking to CIOs - an important, but limited audience.
If you have stayed with me so far, you may agree that knowledge management holds a number of considerable challenges for us, and that we may have to improve our methodology, and possibly our whole approach to both the theory and practice of KM in order to do them justice. Moreover, while many of these challenges are long-standing, a number of them attract considerably more attention at present, as we seem to be moving from an old into a new economy situation. KM
Reference1. In fact, the fact that this skill set is not very well defined, and the absence of a professional body, seems to work rather in favour of KM - it stops other disciplines from closing the books over the KM issue. CI professionals, for example, feel on the whole rather worried about whether or not KM will encroach on their (commercial and mental) territory.
This concluding part of this article will be printed in the next edition of Knowledge Management.

There's a chance Steve Smith could end up being a Bolt BY KEVIN ACEE FRIDAY, MAY 6, 2011 AT 5:27 P.M. Chargers general manager A.J. Smith's oft-cited commitment to the value of character does not rule out the team pursuing wide receiver Steve Smith. The Carolina Panthers star is reportedly unhappy in Carolina -- even to the point of cleaning out his locker, putting his house on the market and letting it be known that he would like a trade to the Chargers, Oakland Raiders or Baltimore Ravens. The Panther are known to want to part ways with the receiver, who has three times been named an All-Pro but was also suspended two games by Carolina for a training camp altercation with a teammate in 2008. The Chargers' interest, according to people with knowledge of the situation, can be characterized as monitoring and wait-and-see. That is comparable to how they went about signing free agent safety Bob Sanders in March, letting other teams woo Sanders before making an offer to a player who wanted to be a Charger. Teams are not allowed to conduct player business during the ongoing NFL lockout. But the Panthers were known to be shopping Smith prior to the league's shutdown on March 11. The Chargers landing Smith could be a product of his wanting to play in a good offense, close to his Lynwood, Calif., birthplace coupled with the team's need for a top-flight receiver. Counting third-round pick Vincent Brown, the Chargers have just four wide receivers virtually certain to be under their control once the new league year begins. Vincent Jackson has been designated their franchise player, but there is uncertainty regarding the status of that tag. Buster Davis has one year left on his contract but is not expected to be with the team in 2011. Malcom Floyd is scheduled to be a free agent – though restricted or unrestricted won't be known until the labor impasse breaks. Going into 2011 with Seyi Ajirotutu, Brown, Patrick Crayton and Richard Goodman comprising the receiving corps is not the Chargers' plan. Smith, 32, has 8,884 receiving yards in his 10-year career, 12th-most in the NFL since 2001. His 52 receiving touchdowns are tied for 14th most. Smith is owed almost $15 million over the remaining two years on his contract, and it is virtually guaranteed no team is going to trade for him without first reworking his contract.
The contract is killer. And the best gauge of the situation that I can gather is that he wants to be here far more than we want him here. That's not to say that there isn't interest on our part - but Smith, originally from Lynwood, seems mostly to be wanting to play close to home. If Floyd prices himself out of our market and Smith is willing to rework his contract to a more team-friendly figure, then he might be worth a high Day 3 selection. But I have a hard time justifying coughing up a 3rd round pick or higher (and I'm not one that typically overvalues draft picks) for a 32 year old WR who has had injury concerns the past two seasons and has a reputation for being something of a locker-room malcontent when he's not getting his way.
A 32 year old WR WILL renegotiate his contract and anyone suggesting it is a "KILLER" does not understand the dynamics of a past 30 WR negotiating an NFL contract. "Rent a VET" is what it is called. We need it for outside security. One year $4 mil. and option for a $6 mil 2nd year. Hecho en mexico. Done deal g-r-i-n-g-o.
The contract is the deal breaker?? Really? 7mil per for the next 2 years for a pro bowl WR isnt very bad, especially in an uncapped league Also, dont forget, he traded for an older mccardell when he had a pretty big contract as well
When we made that trade for McCardell it was just LT and a bunch of young guys on rookie deals. You think about the major money we put into guys like Rivers, Gates, McNeill, Dielman, Jammer, Phillips, and Castillo....and the looming deals of Vjack, Weddle, and next year Antonio Garay. Its become a much more expensive operation, adding an under sized 30+ diva WR with a lot of wear and tear and a big contract doesn't exactly seem like a good business model.
Report: Chargers are monitoring Steve Smith's status Posted by Mike Florio on May 6, 2011, 10:38 PM EDT It's no secret that Steve Smith wants out of Carolina. Unknown at this point is his next destination. According to Kevin Acee of the San Diego Union-Tribune, the Chargers are "monitoring" the situation. Other possible destinations for Smith include the Raiders and the Ravens. Per Acee, the Panthers quietly were shopping Smith before the March 11 lockout. If/when the lockout ends, they'll be able to trade him. As Acee points out, the fact that Smith's contract calls for $15 million over the next two seasons means that he'll have to re-do his deal before any trade can happen. skins359 says: May 6, 2011 10:39 PM Man VJax and Steve Smith. ranx777 says: May 6, 2011 10:43 PM I agree that he needs to take less money at this point, but I also believe he is plenty capable of making a lot of big plays in helping putting a team over the top… especially if he is motivated by a winning environment.
I too, am monitoring the situation. Nothing can be done until the owners and players break up this impasse. No pun intended.
I'm going to assume that VJax is gone if they get Smith. $7M isn't bad if there no signing bonus tied up - they can either cut him next year or if it works out keep him for $7.7M. I would like to get him cheaper but it's a better value than the $7M they gave Sproles. However, AJ shouldn't give up any more than a 5th for him.
I agree with cstu that a 5th (redone contract or no) is all I'd really feel comfortable giving up for him. "Pro Bowl" receiver really doesn't mean a ton these days and I don't mean to completely trivialize the "honor" the players receiver but fan voting has made the Pro Bowl about as non-bias, legitimate a gauge of player quality as American Idol is a gauge of the "most talented singer." Is every person that makes the Idol Top 11 talented? Sure. Does the best singer win? Rarely. Smith's last good year of production was the 2008 season. Carolina can blame crappy QB's for his decline all they want, but the fact remains we can't be sure it's not also something of a decline on Steve's part. Torry Holt's production dipped in the last couple pre-Bradford years with the Rams which most we chalking up to poor QB play, then Torry went to New England with Tom "Fabio" Brady throwing him the ball and couldn't beat out rookie receivers before he went on IR. I'd sooner see that $7M a year at least get offered to Jackson first... he'll very likely refuse it because a little voice in his head (be it his or his agent) has him believing he should be getting $10-11M annual, but an effort ought to at least be made. And I'd sooner sink a 5th and pay Smith $5-7M a year than I would Floyd at this point (love M80 but the guy is brittle). In short, if we're going to "rent a vet" I wouldn't do it as a replacement to VJax but rather a compliment to him. Go all in for a championship. Now with AJ in power and Spanos holding the checkbook that's about as much of a pipe dream as any, but that's how "rent a vet" is typically used unless you already have the future stud WR1 on your roster in need of time to season and develop.
Ok I will be the one to say it.... Just what we need another old injury prone WR. This guy will not make a difference unless we lose Floyd or Crayton. That is considering we keep VJ. Pass.
We wanna win sooner rather than later! I say pull the trigger on a proven veteran and let Jackson go. Smith, Floyd and Brown should give us more than enough firepower on offensive.
Are you saying VJ isn't a proven veteran? Part of the reason Smith wants out is he doesn't want to be the #1 option any more. Jackson is 28, Smith is 32, I vote we pay Jackson.
That would be a lateral move. Keep Jackson and bring Smith in. If we have to choose for whatever reason I'd take Jackson due to age...and, as already stated, he is a proven vet.
I wouldn't even be a lateral move, it would be backwards. We'd be giving up a 28yr old star WR with upside, for a 32yr old former star who is willingly taking a pay cut to move. Not to mention part of the reason Smith wants out (as he stated) is he doesn't want to be the #1 option any more. He's been begging for help for years.
cough, lets just get jackson and floyd signed long term. We have great recivers now. Lets keep em. If the spano's think they can spend a little more to get smith do it. But lets get what works signed long term first and formost.
I wouldn't break the bank to get this guy. The Bolt's and Jackoffson really need to have a sit down and talk all this BS out. If Smith really wants to play for the Bolt's let him prove it by putting his money where his mouth is.
Looking at whether Steve Smith's contract is a problem Posted by Gregg Rosenthal on May 9, 2011, 1:08 PM EDT Cam Newton probably won't have Steve Smith to throw to. We've been passing along various rumors related to Smith's future in Carolina and the general thinking now is that Smith will indeed be dealt before the season starts. Pat Yasinskas of ESPN.com, one of the most plugged-in reporters covering the Panthers, says he expects Smith to be traded soon after the lockout ends. It's only an opinion, but it's a well-informed one based on a lot of information. One issue that Yasinskas raises is whether a new team will have to give Smith a new contract if they acquire him. We'd guess they won't bother. Smith is due $14.5 million over the next two years, which is fair compensation for someone with his track record. He shouldn't need to take a pay cut, but it doesn't make sense to give Smith "new money" either. If Smith does land with a new team, they can re-visit his contract after he shows how he fits in with his new squad for a year.
I have to 100% disagree with Rosenthal. What a guy has done in the past doesn't set the level at which they should get paid in the future, especially at 32 years old. I don't think he is worth more than $4 mil per/yr +incentives
Which is why he'll never become a GM. You pay a guy based on what you think he can do for you, not for what he has done for someone else.
AJ will go to Smith and put it straightforward, restructure your deal or we won't waste the time to trade for you. Smith might be willing to do that to go home and play for a winner. If he doesn't then we don't need him and he can get overpaid by the Raiders or whomever. He'd be a very useful player to have without question but not so useful or special that we'd have to overpay him
Correctamundo! Though I suppose Rosenthal was also conveniently ignoring - for sake of his argument - the fact that among Smith's track record is that his production (for whatever reason) dipped significantly over the past two seasons. In this "What have you done for me lately league" this would be grounds in most front offices to bring restructuring talks to the table. I'd even venture if he were to stay in Carolina it might have been something that cross their mind except for the fact that save for their newly minted #1 overall QB they lack other truly marketable stars on their team, thus they couldn't afford to rub him the wrong way if he actually wanted to stay. And I don't mean to dismiss them having no talent, just not necessarily "marketable" talent where the next closest player after Smith and Newton is probably Jon Beason. They have good linemen, but the only linemen that are ever guys your marketing department can get behind are sack-happy DL... and Peppers is now a Bear.
