'"Mike Weber is one of those players that made a real big jump this year in terms of what he meant to our hockey team, how he plays the game, just the potential that he has to continue to grow on this team," Rolston said. "It put a player like Mike in more of a leadership role because of what he did and because of the minutes that he had. He was in the lineup every night blocking shots, sacrificing for his teammates.'
Rolston confident Myers will regain old form for Sabres ★
'"I think he understands where he needs to go and the growth he needs to have here, especially in the summer to get himself prepared for being an elite defenseman and one of the best defensemen in this league, which he's been before, we know he can be next year," Rolston said.'
The Sabres Report - May 16, 2013
Bottoms up - Sabres shouldn't need long rebuild ★
'It does take a bit of time to build a consistent Stanley Cup contender. It does not take several years. We can hit each other with sample sizes out the wazoo. You can point to teams that suffered for a while, while I point to groups that had a big bounce in one year.'
The Sabres Report - May 15, 2013
Flynn hungry for second helping of NHL life ★
'"I have the belief that I can play here," Flynn said. "This is where I belong. I know how hard you have to work to stay up here. It took a long time, a lot of hard work, a lot of hours to get here."'
The Sabres Report - May 14, 2013
Bills, Sabres: A tradition unlike any other ★
'But let's not be too harsh on the Bills. They're not trying to tell you they started rebuilding 15 months ago by trading Paul Gaustad, like the charade Darcy Regier is pulling. Never mind the fact Regier's rebuilding plan included throwing money last summer at Zach Parise, Ryan Suter and Shane Doan.'
The Sabres Report - May 13, 2013
Former Sabres regular MacArthur making most of first NHL playoff experience with Leafs ★
'"I had a tough stretch through Buffalo," MacArthur said. "I think the one year actually they were going to make it I went to Atlanta. It's been a long time coming, and it's been as good or as better as I thought it was going to be."'
The Sabres Report - May 12, 2013
Turn at center stage shows Ennis, Hodgson still need work ★
'The Sabres averaged 2.91 goals per 60 minutes when Hodgson skated five-on-five, according to BehindTheNet.ca, a website dedicated to hockey statistics. That number put him ahead of star centers such as Philadelphia's Claude Giroux (2.90), Washington's Nicklas Backstrom (2.89) and the New York Rangers' Brad Richards (2.88).'
The Sabres Report - May 10, 2013
Sabres assistants Patrick, Adams out ★
'Patrick and Adams were holdovers from the staff of Lindy Ruff, and their departures were expected when Rolston had the interim tag removed from his coaching title this week. Neither had a previous relationship with Rolston nor, sources said, a good relationship with General Manager Darcy Regier.'
Buffalo Sabres fire assistant coaches James Patrick and Kevyn Adams ★
'Patrick and Adams, who were hired by former head coach Lindy Ruff, were not retained. Rolston is keeping assistant coach Teppo Numminen and goalie coach Jim Corsi.'
Sabres fire assistant coaches Patrick and Adams as Rolston begins assembling staff ★
'Their special teams – the power play ranked 29th overall and the penalty killing 26th – are terrible. Alleged franchise defenseman Tyler Myers has suffered a stunning regression since a dynamic rookie season in 2009-10. Franchise cornerstones Ryan Miller and Thomas Vanek could be dealt this offseason.'
AP Source: Sabres fire assistants Patrick, Adams ★
'Both Patrick and Adams were holdovers from Ruff's tenure, and were both responsible for working behind the bench.'
Two Sabres assistants fired; Numminen to remain ★
'Patrick was an assistant for six years under former long-time head coach Lindy Ruff, while Adams was brought on in 2011 with no clear role but eventually became a full-fledged assistant.'
Sabres making changes in coaching ranks ★
'Bucky Gleason claims that Teppo Numminen will be retained by Rolston.'
Marcus Foligno and Flawed Expectations ★
'Instead of asking Marcus Foligno to be a reliable scorer, we should ask him to be Steve Ott – a high energy, defensive-minded, puck-possessing hitter who can score a little and drive opponents insane. Did he do that in 2013? Yes. As much as his ceiling suggests? No. But for a rookie season, to provide those things and some scoring was a success and should give the organization a positive feeling about where he'd headed.'
Sabres can get a stud at #8 in the draft ★
'The Sabres have two picks(8 and 16) in the top twenty in what is considered to be the deepest draft in the last ten years.'

I liked how the story was built around "the street" and the 2008 financial crisis. Wanting to see what would happen next kept me going. Generally an enjoyable read. On the down side the narrator's voice for the main character was sooo annoying, like this baby talk voice. And the ending was a bit anti-climactic. I think the author could have done more in closing out the story.
Good novel though, I would read work by this author again.
"Fun light read! But lots of info about pregnancy"
Although the premise of this book is really unlikely, it was another fun read. If you enjoy light romance/fiction I recommend Milly Johnson's books. The Birds and the Bees is the best so I would start with that one or Summer Fling. In the Yorkshire Pudding Club was a strong focus on the process of pregnancy, but I enjoyed that and found it interesting. As always the book celebrates the friendships that women have.
I enjoy Milly Johnson's books, I wish there were more of them available in the U.S. I think The Birds and the Bees may be my favorite. Although the story follows a predictable formula, the author creates that irresistible pull to see what will happen next. A very enjoyable light read! I give it 5 stars not because it's a masterpiece or would receive critical acclaim, but for the genre it is really wonderful stuff.
"Eh . . . I don't get the appeal"
I've tried a few of the the vampire/werewolf stories - Sookie, Kitty, etc. I really want to like these but I just don't get the whole genre I guess. I know many people enjoy these so I'll focus on what is unique about Molly Harper's How to Flirt with a Naked Werewolf. The story was decent, and I like the whole Alaska angle. But the "southern sassy" routine the main charater did so often got kind of annoying and seemed forced. Even though I wanted to like this, don't think I'll read the next in the series.
"One of my favorites . . ."
I really enjoy most of Mary Kay Andrews books. Savannah Blues was the first one I read and is at the top of the list, along with Summer Rental. It's one of those - woman starting over after her life falls apart - my favorite kind of story. Very enjoyable!
"Beautiful . . ."
A contemporary novel - beautifully, artfully, deliciously written. I love love love the way Barbara Samuel writes. This was a real pleasure, didn't want it to end.
"Relentlessly bleak"
I understand that sometimes a book needs to disturb you enough to affect you - but the pain has to be worth the gain. Although the message in the end was good, this writing was draining, and a bit like slow torture. Instead of wanting to find out what would happen next I found myself dreading the next sad/bad thing that would happen to the main character. I did see the humor at times, but the overall picture drawn was so relentlessly sad that I couldn't enjoy it when it did occur.
"Lovely coming of age novel"
So I might be too old to read this, about an 18 year old girl and her last summer before college. But I like a good coming of age story and this seemed like a good choice. I must say I really enjoyed it. The author has a subtle, patient writing style that allows a story to gracefully unfold, without feeling forced or rushed. The characters weren't totally predictable which I like. And best of all it had a wonderful ending. Total satisfaction!
"Uplifting story of five women"
Although the ending was a bit storybook romance, this is a great light read if you are looking for an encouraging novel about love. I also enjoyed the positive and healthy relationships the women had at work . . . a feel-good novel overall.
"Young artist struggling to find love"
Really enjoyed the relationship that developed between the young artist and the older actress - athough they are at different points in their journeys, their life lessons corresponded perfectly and made for a good read. Was inspiring and uplifting without being too forced or simply achived.
"Bad narration for a good story"
This story was decent, but first the narration. I have listened to other books narrated by Xe Sands and thought they were good. But not in this case. Instead of giving life to the book her narration made me want to go to sleep. The main character and most of the other characters' voices came through with an annoying deflection at the end of most statements that made them sound either very tired or high, or as if they were so cool that they couldn't be bothered to get these last 3 words out of their mouth. One star for Sands on this effort, far from her best.
Story was pretty good, would be ideally suited to a reader who is a parent that has dealt with a difficult adolecsent or a child struggling with addiction or other serious challenges.
The best part of the book was the main characters relationship with Marva. I always enjoy books written about the majic that happens when an older and maybe wiser woman teams up with a younger woman who is trying to figure out her life. As they learn from each other and grow I find myself being inspired as well.

this camera is seriously toooo good n the best cameras ever made... u can set the settings as u like using the P setting.... u can close ur eyes and buy ths camera .....n the delivery of flipkart is also amazinggg........love u flipkart n also d cam :D
I am not a camera enthusiast but bought this camera for occasional use. Here are my observations about this camera:
It's very lightweight and fits easily in the pocket.
The controls and settings are like one of the older Canon Cameras I had.
On a MAC OS X 10.6 computer, I had to install Canon's software to import the images. I don't understand why I can't just plug it in and browse the SD card as a removable disk.
The charger has LEDs to indicate charging/charged status and charging just about 2-3 hours.
Have mostly used it in daylight. The image quality is good but not great (as unsophisticated user). Haven't used it in night time.
The price seems just a bit higher but still affordable
outstanding performance by this camera, i am using it since 1 month back.... it gives a tough competition to Sony cyber shot series......
In limited budget canon provide us a quality product..
if anybody want to buy this........ its better option
I buyed this product from flipkart just few days back.. And is amazed by seeing the features a camera provides at this cost.First of all,it has 16 megapixel..with optical image stabilizer.. Now its important to have a camera with an image stabilizer or else the pics you will take will be blurry many cameras doesn't have the stabilizer..you can check about it in camera's specifications. And one another feature this camera support is that the user can manually delay the shutter speed of the camera in long shutter mode.. Which is an useful feature for those interested in light graffiti,no other companies (sony , nikon etc) provides you this feature unless you buy a DSLR or SLR..regarding CONS i dont think it has any.. So overall.. As i said in the title its value for money.

Looked real nice. I liked the fact that the mermaid picture was different to the one on the dinner plates, (different hair color) so the girls got to see all the mermaids featured on the birthday theme

My daughter wanted a mermaid party. We didn't want Little Mermaid, just mermaid. These plates and accessories were perfect. And the design was simple enough that I could draw one of the mermaids on poster board to play pin the tail on the mermaid. So cute! So perfect!

Cute and colorful. We used these as the basis for my daughter's 4th birthday party with a mermaid/under-the-sea theme. Good quality plates. They set the color theme for the whole party - light & dark shades of blue, pink, purple and lime green.

I see that the cups have a brunette mermaid and the different sized plates have a blonde and a red head mermaid on them. My question is if you get all 3 mermaids on each item. For example, if I order the cups are all of the cups going to be have the brunette on them or will they also have cups with the blonde and red head on them too??
Thank you for your inquiry! In regards to your question, each item has a single different mermaid. The dinner plates have the blonde mermaid, the dessert plates have the red head mermaid, the drinking cups have the brunette mermaid and the placemats have a mermaid with black hair. Please feel free to contact us if you have any further questions. Thank you!

Single Barrel Bourbon
The idea is that each barrel of Bourbon is a little different, and the whiskey in its acquires a slightly different flavor. Furthermore, where store the barrel is stored in the warehouse can make a considerable difference in how the whiskey ages. Typically, when a distiller bottles a Bourbon, he collects together several hundred or even thousand barrels. These are dumped together, chilled and filtered, cut with water, and then bottled. What results is a reliably uniform whiskey. What the master distiller does, then, is to periodically sample the whiskey in barrels, especially those barrels in the best part of the warehouse. Usually this is the very center of the warehouse, called 'the heart' of the warehouse. Those barrels that are discovered to contain unusually fine whiskey are recorded and tracked with care. They are allowed to mature in years far beyond the average Bourbon. When they are at their peak of perfection, they are taken from the warehouse -- one by one -- and bottled one barrel at a time. In this way the cream of the crop, so to speak, becomes single barrel Bourbon.
Small Batch Bourbon
Small batch bourbon is made slowly with carefully chosen oak barrels. Rather than bottling Bourbon from a single barrel or from a large batch comprised of many barrels, a few barrels are combined into a batch that is bottled and labeled with an individual batch number. Small batch Bourbon is generally not diluted with water to make a standard "proof" and thus has higher alcohol content, generally from 120 to 160 percent (60 to 80 proof), than large batch Bourbon. The barrels for the small batch are individually chosen by the distiller for their quality and some small batch makers do not filter their Bourbon, making a darker, richer finished product.

Her sharp wit, snarkiness—bordering on bitchiness—and reports from the red carpet have garnered Elaine Lui a worldwide following. Exposing Hollywood A-Listers' deepest secrets, the Vancouver-based blogger has become a celebrity in her own right thanks to her tabloid tales of the rich and famous.
The self-proclaimed gossip maven got into the gossip game in a circuitous way. The Toronto native was living in Vancouver and working for Covenant House, a crisis shelter for youth, when she returned to Hogtown to be with her mother, who was sick at the time.
Between jobs, Lui started sending emails of her musings on pop culture to friends. They then forwarded her fresh sheet of Hollywood headlines to other friends and unwittingly the University of Western Ontario grad developed a small following. Soon there were thousands on her distribution list.
In 2005, a friend offered to build a blog for her, LaineyGossip.com. Devoted to all things Hollywood, it won fans over immediately. Six months later, her irreverent blog and gift of gab landed her a regular TV spot on CTV's entertainment news show eTalk. Today, millions of readers visit her popular site every month.
"Celebrity gossip has been around for ages—it's only the status of the subjects that change," says the gossip queen who lives in Vancouver with her husband Jacek and beagle Marcus. "Hundreds of years ago, we gossiped about royalty. Then we gossiped about politicians. And now we gossip about celebrities. Gossip is immortal"
Your big break?
The story that really launched my career was my exclusive story on Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt. She was pregnant with her daughter Shiloh and I was the first to report that they would be having their baby in Africa.
Biggest red carpet moment?
Depends on your definition of "biggest." A few weeks ago Richard Branson tossed me over his shoulder and almost dropped me on my head. Does that count?
Worst red carpet moment?
I was so nervous on my first red carpet I totally blanked on the celebrity's name. And he knew it too. He took it very personally. I don't actually remember who he is anymore. There's a block on my recall about that night because I was so embarrassed. All I know is that my producer at the time thought I sucked.
Celebrity that had you most star-struck?
Angelina Jolie. She is so beautiful you can't speak or think or do anything but stare.
Which celebrity surprised you the most?
Ron Perlman. We giggled together.
Celebrity you most like to interview?
Dustin Hoffman. He is so nice. Every time I interview him he treats me like I'm his houseguest. Once he tried to set me up with his son who, um, is significantly younger than I am.
Biggest accomplishment?
Running the Olympic torch with my family by my side.
Biggest setback?
I couldn't find work for six months after I quit my job where the workplace was toxic. I lost confidence, and I was so afraid I made a mistake. But that led me to Covenant House, the most nurturing, rewarding professional environment I've had the honour to be a part of.
Your darkest hour?
My mother was hospitalized for nine months last year. Confronting the reality of her disease was the worst time of my life.
What does success look like?
When my mother is proud of me.
Best life lesson you've learned?
Don't expect to be complimented for doing your job.
One lesson you'd love to give others?
Be OK with saying, "I don't know."
One thing you could change about the world?
People don't read enough.
If you could be any celebrity?
I wouldn't. Celebrities are crazy.
Secret crush?
CBC's Gloria Macarenko. I am obsessed with her.

Will ceiling fans help cool my home?
Ceiling fans circulate air. They do not ventilate a room or lower the temperature. They simply create a draft. That draft provides a wind-chill effect on our bodies, increasing the evaporation of sweat off the skin and making the room seem cooler.

Incline suffered its first loss of the season, 34-0, in a Division III football game at undefeated Yerington on Friday.
First-year Incline head coach Scott Conn said the Highlanders performed well in many facets of the game, but they fell short by committing five turnovers and allowing a number of big pass plays on defense.
and#8220;It was good meeting the No. 1 team in the league on their turf,and#8221; said Conn, whose team is now 3-1 overall and 2-1 in league play. and#8220;It was a good measuring stick for us.and#8221;
Yerington (5-0 overall, 2-0 league) led 7-0 after one quarter and 20-0 at the half before adding a touchdown in both the third and fourth quarters.
The Lions used a deep passing attack to account for four of their five touchdowns, averaging 38 yards per passing score. Yeringtonand#8217;s Sam Monahan also had a 25-yard interception return for a touchdown, his second of the game.
and#8220;They (the Lions) are pretty much all juniors and seniors, and they have a big, experienced defense, and with 20 kids on the sideline,and#8221; said Conn, who has 17 players total on his roster, including four freshmen and three sophomores. and#8220;So Iand#8217;m proud of the kids. They gave Yerington a good battle. But Iand#8217;m disappointed we couldnand#8217;t get our offense in the end zone. We were knocking on the door, but we kept shooting ourselves in the foot.and#8221;
Conn said Yeringtonand#8217;s large linemen pressured Incline quarterback Christian Biscotti throughout the game, forcing him into two interceptions. Biscotti finished 6-of-19 for 75 yards. Senior fullback Sean Herrera carried the load on the ground, rushing for 91 yards on 16 carries.
Incline ran 59 offensive plays to Yeringtonand#8217;s 46, but converted only 1-of-12 on third-down plays while losing three fumbles.
and#8220;While we had a lot of plays, we just couldnand#8217;t get any consistency,and#8221; Conn said. and#8220;We need to develop more consistency and focus. If we have aspirations to make the playoffs, we have to compete with these bigger schools.and#8221;
UP NEXT: Incline hosts Silver Stage on Friday, Sept. 28, at 6 p.m. and Whittell on Friday, Oct. 5, at the same time.

Morning Forecast, Sunday February 3rd, 2013
By: Meteorologist Steve Newton
Updated: February 2, 2013
Reported by: Meteorologist Steve Newton
Roads will be slick in spots this morning with some snow left on the roads, but that will get cleaned up. Temps starting in the mid and upper teens will reach into the 20s by the afternoon. New snowfall does not appear to be a big concern, but there could be snow showers in the afternoon and evening.
We'll have a brief break Monday morning before clouds increase and another round of light snow arrives for the evening and overnight hours. The snow will taper off early Tuesday, leaving some flurries and possible breaks in the clouds.
A small disturbance will move through early Wednesday, bringing some snow for the morning commute, but it looks dry for the afternoon and into Thursday, which will be the dry days this week as temperatures get above freezing both days.

Business Intelligence versus Knowledge
This article is an academic argument designed to stimulate
thought and provoke wider debate around the role and function of Business
Intelligence in relation to Knowledge Management. It approaches Knowledge Management
and Business Intelligence from the perspective that both activities have a
common objective - the persistence and prosperity of the organization. Shaun McCarthy
explores the means to which this is achieved through generating and applying
Intellectual Capital.
The principle is as old as mankind itself. Man requires knowledge before
he can act sensibly. Human understanding is required for making sense out of
information and for applying knowledge.1
Before man can act, he needs to have some sort of basic idea about what it is
that he wants to do or achieve. Therefore identifying strategic objectives is an
activity that precedes information gathering. The next logical step is obtaining
the necessary knowledge in order to achieve those objectives. Knowledge
Management is essentially a management philosophy that is a means to an end and
should not be confused as the end in itself.
Business Intelligence and Knowledge Management have the same objective - to focus on
improving business performance. The purpose of Knowledge Management is to achieve
the maximum degree of understanding of one's operating environment and
relevant circumstances that can advance or retard progress toward an objective.
However, the same rationale applies to the concept of Business Intelligence. If we
agree that Business Intelligence is comprised of Customer, Competitor and
Market Intelligence and that the purpose of conducting Business Intelligence is
to support strategic decision-making, grow the business and monitor
the organisation's competitors, then we recognise that there are
definite similarities between Knowledge Management and Business Intelligence. While
both concepts share a common high level objective, there are some
fundamental differences. These differences are to be found in the manner in which they
are applied towards achieving that goal. The value of Business Intelligence and
its product, opportunity analysis, is found in its usefulness as a decision
making tool; the value of Knowledge Management lies in the ability of the
organisation to identify, capture and reuse knowledge and in particular best practices
in such a manner that it saves the organisation time, effort and resources
-translated and measured in cost.
Intelligence for its own sake is of little business value
unless it can provide actionable value. By this it is meant that opportunity
analysis should be the objective we strive for within Business Intelligence.
analysis is an intelligence assessment relating directly to the vulnerabilities
and opportunities of the organisation as they arise from circumstances within
the operating environment. The key element of opportunity analysis is the
intelligence production unit's understanding of the organisation's objectives.
Being able to relate to the knowledge on hand and to interpret that within the
context of the organisation's strategic objectives - in effect by pointing out
the opportunities and vulnerabilities that decision-makers and marketing
personnel can exploit to advance the organisation and to improve customer
relationships is crucial. The standard is to provide actionable analysis without
prescribing general guidelines.
Opportunity analysis depends upon two
fundamental principles.2The first
holds that opportunity analysis starts with the effective tasking by
intelligence consumers - in most organisations the consumers are the users of
intelligence. The consumers are responsible for identifying the relevant
intelligence priorities. The second principle postulates that in order to
satisfy the needs of the consumers, the intelligence producers must provide
analytical assessments that deliver a high order of understanding and insight
that can support sound decision-making, customer relationship building and
strategy planning. This implies that intelligence adheres to a distinct process.
Intelligence Process
For analysis to be effective in business it
needs to add tangible value to the organisation. This is usually difficult to
measure in any currency and therefore analysis is best measured in some other
form of value in relation to the organisation's persistence and prosperity. This
value is created in the form of Opportunity Analysis. In consulting companies
however, business intelligence must be combined with expertise and knowledge
from within the organisation's centres of excellence to create solutions-based
consulting products.
One of the most difficult stages in the intelligence cycle is the
analysis process. The challenge lies in the intelligence producers' ability to
weigh information about the external operating environment and to integrate that
information with the internal knowledge of the organisation. The objective is to
identify patterns, trends and tendencies and to formulate a range of scenarios
predicting probable future outcomes and to be able to discern potential
opportunities and barriers against achieving them. With the exception of Daily
Intelligence Briefings, Opportunity Analysis is an intelligence quality that
should be incorporated within all analysis efforts and reflected in intelligence
The Shared dilemma of interpretation and value
For the purposes of this discussion when we talk of
knowledge, we are referring to knowledge in the following context:
Knowledge is a fluid
mix of framed experiences, values, contextual information, and expert insight
that provides a framework for evaluating and incorporating new experiences and
information. It originates and is applied in the minds of knowers. In
organisations, it often becomes embedded not only in documents or repositories
but also in organisational routines, processes, and norms3
In addition, Gartner Group defines
Knowledge Management as:
"Knowledge Management is a discipline that promotes an integrated
approach to identifying, managing and sharing all of an enterprise's information
assets. It is the discipline applied to manage intellectual capital."4
It can be
said that Knowledge Management is a system that includes a process to identify,
understand and use knowledge in a creative manner to add value. It is a process
to facilitate the efficient flow of knowledge to the right people in a timely
manner. A Knowledge Management System therefore includes strategies, tactics,
processes and enabling technologies that facilitate and support the creation,
capture, process, organisation, delivery and leverage of knowledge within an
organisation. Implicit in this definition is the need to encourage the use of
knowledge to achieve leverage. For Knowledge Management makes no sense unless it
contributes to improving performance through savings in time, effort and
resources. 'A company's choice of Knowledge Management strategy is not
arbitrary 'it must be driven by the company's competitive strategy.'
In the search for knowledge the first
logical step or place to start is at home. In other words, to start by searching
for the information or expertise that is required from within the organisation.
After having explored or searched for the information within the organisation
the next logical place to look would be outside sources. Having collected the
information internally and externally the next step is bringing all the relevant
pieces of information together for analysis that includes the essential step of
interpretation. For it is in the act of interpretation that information becomes
knowledge from a Knowledge Management perspective and intelligence from a
Business Intelligence perspective. The end product or outcome generates
Intellectual Capital for the organisation. It is really at this juncture where
Business Intelligence and Knowledge Management meet.
This is not the only similarity in the
Knowledge Management and Intelligence processes. The kernel of similarity
however, is found in the conversion process of data to information to knowledge.
This transformation is similar to the conversion of information to intelligence
through the analysis process of evaluation, verification and interpretation. In
both processes the end product is knowledge. The intelligence process does not
end there however, and is extended when that knowledge is recognised as
Intellectual Capital and awarded varying levels of classification in accordance
with its sensitivity, value and the need to protect its source and method.
One of the key
issues around Knowledge Management and Business Intelligence is the point at
which information is recognised for its knowledge worth. By this we mean at what
stage in the process of converting information to intelligence and knowledge
does the analyst or manager of that knowledge perceive its value to the
organisation? While we may not be able to actually pinpoint the exact stage in
the conversion process, what is evident however, is the need for the analyst or
knowledge manager to command an in-depth understanding of the strategic
objectives or direction of the organisation. This principle of Knowledge
Management and Business Intelligence reinforces the need to understand the
relationship between producers and consumers of intelligence and knowledge.It
emphasises the significance of the producer-consumer relationship and the
necessity for an appropriate business mechanism to manage and sustain the
linkage and communication between them.
The key to the success of both
intelligence and knowledge within the business environment and in terms of
deriving value therefrom is dependent upon the following criteria:
1. The recognition by
the content owner of the relevant association between the knowledge or the
intelligence information and the strategic objectives of the organisation
2. The degree of
understanding where that knowledge or intelligence information can be applied
towards achieving an advantage.
To date one of
Knowledge Management's biggest challenges is to identify a process or methodology whereby the
owners of information are able to apply associations of value to that
information and convert information to knowledge and ultimately intellectual
capital. One approach is to introduce a process within the organisation's
project management discipline whereby project managers, using a template, capture key
learnings at the end of all completed projects. A sort of After Action Review
(AAR) process. This knowledge then contributes towards the capture and use of 'best
practices' and replication - a process that can help organisations shorten learning curves
and reduce costs through leveraging previously invested resources, time and
money. Without the above criteria, the whole exercise becomes nothing more than
organising information. The Holy Grail of Knowledge Management therefore is to
apply knowledge towards gaining a competitive advantage. In todays highly
competitive environment it is the time to market that an organisation takes
between innovation and product or service maturity that will enable it to gain
an advantage.
Business intelligence as a component of knowledge
If we approach this question from the perspective that
the end product of Business Intelligence is Opportunity Analysis and that
Opportunity Analysis, once classified, becomes an organisation's Intellectual
Capital, then the concept of defining Business Intelligence as Knowledge would
appear to be a logical inference. This deduction is reinforced by the
interpretation of Intellectual Capital. Thomas Stewart defines Intellectual
Capital as:
"Intellectual capital is the sum of everything everybody in a company
knows that gives it a competitive edge.5
If we apply Stewart's
rationale of Intellectual Capital to Knowledge Management and Business Intelligence
we cannot fail to recognise the common goal - competitive advantage. Therefore it
is difficult to argue against the notion that Knowledge Management and
Business Intelligence are one and the same activities. Yet there are those who
would argue that there is a fundamental difference between the two. One argument
finds its roots in the principle of knowledge sharing. As a former
intelligence officer, the concept of Knowledge Management and the principle of
sharing knowledge is in direct contradiction with the rule of applying the 'need to know
basis' that intelligence managers have traditionally applied to the sharing of
intelligence. This is a factor that some competitor intelligence specialists may
refer to when defending the need to uphold Competitor Intelligence as a
profession apart from that of Knowledge Management. But this argument is surely
not sufficient grounds for making the case. What then are the factors that
differentiate KM from BI while recognising that both activities strive for
identical goals?
I can offer
the following concluding perspective. Classification is one area that
could distinguish Business Intelligence from Knowledge Management. Intelligence analysis,
once produced, is generally classified according to its strategic value and in
order to protect collection methods and information sources - a scarce and treasured
asset. A contradictory argument, however, is that in the knowledge
based economy, intelligence sources abound. A plethora of sources and electronic vendors
are to be found on the Internet. In fact, many CI professionals are
touting the Internet as the 'golden highway' to intelligence information and are
offering courses on how to exploit this goldmine. This abundance of information on
the Internet however, has the potential to swamp the consumers, causing
information overload. The information era and the Internet is indeed having a
profound impact upon the traditional methods of intelligence. This is
particularly relevant when we consider its influence on the intelligence
producer-consumer relationship. Enjoying direct access to the wellsprings of
information, consumers are now 'doing it for themselves' and engaging in their own analysis
instead of relying on trained and professional analysts who verify, evaluate and
interpret information on the consumers' behalf. The long-term effects of this
still remain to be seen. Intelligence may very well be replaced and indeed
mistaken for instantaneous information. No matter what level of classification
ends up being applied to intelligence, the end product that retains value is
also Knowledge and Intellectual Capital. The answer may be that while we
acknowledge that some knowledge found in a manner where the methods and sources
of contributing data and information need to be safeguarded, then those
associated activities and the end product need to be called Business

Sampson sheriff's investigators are looking into a weekend club shooting that left one man injured.
The report on the shooting was not filed until Thursday although the incident took place in the wee hours Sunday, Jan. 6.
In that incident, Kenneth Lawson, 23, of Shamrock Drive in Clinton, called officers to Hardees in Roseboro around 2 a.m., saying he'd been shot while at the Peter Rabbit Club on Willie Brown Road.
Officers responded to the eatery where they found Lawson, who, reports note, had been shot in the neck and buttocks.
The victim was unable to provide officers with any suspect information. He was transported to Sampson Regional Medical Center for treatment of his wounds.
Additional officers went to the backyard club, but were unable to locate any possible suspects in the shooting.
An investigation is ongoing.
Anyone with information on the incident is asked to call the Sampson County Sheriff's Department at 592-4141.

Homeschooling With Small Children Around
- Use edutainment. Yep. I put that as numero uno. I do my best to play educational DVDs like ones that teach sign language (for babies, too) or immerse my kids in a foreign language. Next after that, I click on the public tv station, and after that, a round of soap operas. Oh, I kid. Anyway, I try to limit this to only when necessary and generally under an hour a day.
- Have an older child play with the younger child. This works if you have more than two kids and are trying to school one without the "baby" underfoot. My daughter is more social than a bazillion butterflies combined, so I pay my son a dollar for every half-hour he entertains his sister AWAY FROM MY SIGHT. Win all around!
- Let the younger child "write" alongside her siblings. In the past, I've used everything from crayons, pencils, white boards, color wonder, a magna doodle, and an aqua doodle.
- Take advantage of nap time(s). I know. This is the worst one yet. And yet, there are some parts of schooling that can't be done unless the wee babe is asleep.
- Make "school time" for the older kids "craft time" for the younger ones. Ideas for the different age groups include playing with PlayDoh, cutting with scissors, pasting with a glue stick, paint with water, coloring, and decorating with stickers. You'll notice I didn't include markers. Nope. Nooooo markers.
- Give the kid something to eat. This is a tried-and-true trick for kids of all ages. I often give my youngest child a snack while I'm reading to her brothers. During the week, I eat my lunch while I'm prepping everyone else's (take that, enjoyment police!) and then I read to all three kids while their faces are stuffed full of food. I pick things to read that are applicable to everyone--poetry, science, geography.
- Pull out the educational toys. The quiet ones, that is. Lacing beads, lacing shapes, blocks, Duplos or Legos, Lincoln logs, wood puzzles, stacking and sorting toys, pattern blocks, and play vegetables. These kinds of things end up on my Christmas wish list every year.
- Make room for messy play. Nothing enthralls a young child more than a mess. Scooping and pouring out water, making bubbles in water, playing with sand, and using edible finger paint. I used to let my preschool boys dump beans on the carpet and they'd drive their matchbox cars through that for hours. At least it felt like hours. Or maybe that was just the cleanup. But still, they loved getting out that bin of beans.
- Hold the youngest child on your lap. What baby / toddler / preschooler doesn't love to be held by her mom? (Okay, mine. So she sits beside me. And wiggles and rubs my leg raw.) However, there are days my girl will sit and listen quietly to the journals of Lewis and Clark, and why shouldn't she be allowed to listen if she wants to?
- Sit on the floor and "play" with the young child while schooling the older. Moms are magnificent at multitasking. There's no reason why you can't stack blocks and dole out spelling words at the same time. The only one who complains is Oma Achin Back. I've also ridden my exercise bike *while* holding a toddler *while* giving out spelling words. See? The options are limitless.

CNN: What is the main goal of your research program?
Kalirai: The main goal of my research is to understand the details of how stars like our sun, including those that are a little more and a little less massive, change over time. For billions of years, these stars will remain at the same brightness and temperature. This is great for humans on Earth since it gives us a stable climate. After the hydrogen in the sun is exhausted, the sun will become a stellar cinder and simply cool over time. We call this state, the end state of 98% of all stars, white dwarfs.
All of the action in stellar evolution occurs between these two phases, when, over a relatively short time scale, stars swell up into "giants" and spill their outer materials into space. The detailed understanding of this process, of how stars dramatically change, is fundamentally important to many research areas in astronomy. After all, the light that we see from distant galaxies is really just millions of individual stars at the tip of their luminous evolution.
CNN: If the sun will experience this dramatic change, what is the fate of our planet Earth?
Kalirai: The Earth is orbiting the sun at a distance of about 90 million miles. When the sun runs out of hydrogen in its core, it will begin burning hydrogen in a shell around the core and become very luminous and bloated. The outer layers of the sun will actually reach the Earth, and so the oceans will evaporate and our planet will be fried. Sorry! Fortunately for us, this won't happen for several billions of years.
Based on my research on "stellar mass loss," the sun itself will lose about 45% of its mass through this process. The remaining mass, the core of the sun, will be the white dwarf. Interestingly, the size of that core will only be a little larger than the Earth, so the remnant star will be very dense.
CNN: What telescopes do you use to study the stars?
Kalirai: I enjoy using the Keck telescopes on Mauna Kea in Hawaii. Over the past seven years, I've traveled to Hawaii to collect data from these telescopes more than a dozen times. The Keck telescopes are two of the biggest optical telescopes we have on Earth. The mirrors stretch over 30 feet across and the building itself is bigger than a house.
The site of the telescopes is also beautiful. Mauna Kea is a dormant volcano, and the telescopes sit at the peak, at the distance of 13,000 feet. It's a harsh environment to observe from since there is about 40% less oxygen at that altitude than sea level.
CNN: You recently received an award from the American Astronomical Society called the 2013 Newton Lacy Pierce Prize. What does it mean to your career, and how does it affect your future endeavors?

1. | illegal immigrant | ||
A low life scum sucking person who violates our border by sneaking across or overstaying an expired visa. They are tax burdens upon those of us who work and are willing to obey the laws of this country. They have no respect for our nations laws and customs and therefore are deserving of nothing in return from this country other than a swift kick in the ass as we send them packing to wherever the hell it is they came from. They are a Trojan Horse that will bring this country to it's ruin by degrading our lifestyle, our culture and taxing us to death due to their illiteracy and impoverished status. They also bring with them diseases that we had eradicated like TB, leprosy, Chagas disease, and Hepatitis. They don't have the decency to wash their hands after using the restroom and you want to grant these assholes amnesty so they can prepare your Big Macs or salads in some restaurant that won't hire honest hard working Americans?
They are a plague, a cancer, and a scourge upon the face of this country. The only way to cure cancer is to kill the disease before it spreads. So let's start getting rid of this cancer before America dies. Look at the street of Los Angeles everytime there is a rally by illegal immigrants. They are the enemy and this is how they feel about us.
"Go back to Boston! Go back to Plymouth Rock, Pilgrims! Get out! We are the future. You are old and tired. Go on. We have beaten you. Leave like beaten rats. You old white people. It is your duty to die ... Through love of having children, we are going to take over." |
2. | illegal immigrant | ||
1. an illegal alien.
2. a criminal. 3. an individual criminally pretending to be a citizen of a nation for economic gain and/or political subterfuge in said nation, and lacks loyalty to said nation. 4. a selfish and/or cowardly person unwilling to positively change the socio-economic and political problems in his/her own country in order to benefit everyone, including him/herself, and thus runs away to another country to hide. 5. a loser. By violating a country's immigration laws illegal immigrants (illegal aliens) prove themselves to be criminals by disrespecting the laws of the country they are trespassing into. And also by such action(s) illegal immigrants (illegal aliens) also prove that they do not believe in the rule of law.
Illegal immigrants (illegal aliens) often try to proclaim they have civil rights equal to the citizens, of the nation they have trespassed. They do not have civil rights outside of their respective countries of origin except by international treaties. Illegal aliens (illegal immigrants) proclaim they pay income taxes to the government. They cannot do so as they do not have legitimate tax payer ids with which to do so. The tax payer ids illegal aliens (illegal immigrants) use are stolen - e.g. identity theft. |

A person from another country sneaking over our borders so their lazy asses dont pay money to come here, and think they're hot shit saying us white people are jeaslous that we dont speak spanish, when there are plenty of spanish speaking caucasians that have to translate for their dumb asses. Juan Carlos who mows my lawn is an illegal immigrant.
5. | illegal immigrant | ||
Some miserable, sorry piece-of-crap who thinks they can sneak into this country unlawfully, undetected and undocumented to take whatever handouts they want from the American system and from whoever they want without regard for the law and anyone else but themselves. They have no respect for our country, our laws, our people and our culture. They flash their fist to the citizens and our pathetic lawmakers by protesting in streets of major U.S. cities to demand that they receive the same benefits as natural citizens and even immigrants who came here lawfully. They frequently crawl through, crawl around, dig under or tear down any border wall/fence to get into our country because our sissy, do-nothing, incompetent, corrupt government has allowed them to be here as "day laborers" for minimum-wage paying jobs that politically-correct persons say regular Americans don't want so it will behoove the economy. Since when does the breaking of Federal law by 12 million persons behoove any economy??? They take jobs from regular Americans. They occupy our emergency rooms and are usually the first to be treated over a regular citizen. They are even accepted into our schools and universities over a natural citizen in the name of "diversity." They can also get a drivers license in some states. They have the worst driving habits and cause unnecessary accidents on our freeways and streets. They work in our restaurants and probably don't wash their hands, spreading disease and food-born illne... more...
6. | Illegal Immigrant | ||
An illegal immigrant is a non-citizen of the U.S. who illegally enters the U.S. from Mexico, El Salvador or other South American or Central American country, although there are illegal immigrants from many other countries. The illegal immigrant is much maligned by most American citizens, as he or she is a burden on society, by overwhelming our economy, welfare system, healthcare system and law enforcement system. In essence, the illegal immigrant is disrespected for many other reasons, such as bringing diseases into our country, drugs, over population, and crime to name a few. I live in an apartment complex where 90% of the tenants are illegal immigrants. They throw trash in the hallways, parking lots, and have ten or more people living in a one bedroom apartment. On the weekends, they play loud Latin music, drink boat loads of beer, and allow their children to run aimlessly. The Police are a regular fixture where I live, as are the Sheriffs.
7. | Illegal Immigrant | ||
1.) One who immigrates to a country illegally, often because of the immigrant's shitty home country and the shitty immigration laws of the country he/she immigrates to. 2.) Codeword for "Mexican" or "Hispanic" used in the U.S. by fear mongers to stir up votes among racists who are also too lazy to learn a second language. 1.) Bob immigrated to Italy illegally. He is an illegal immigrant.
2.) The platform for some politicians is to kick "Illegal immigrants" out of the country. |
