Greenhouse and Fortay have created an integration so that you can seamlessly use the two products together to add an assessment to your interview pipeline.
To implement the integration, you will:
- Retrieve an API key from Fortay.
- Fill out the form at www.greenhouse.io/asksupport to click here open a ticket. Please do not send the API key in this initial email.
- The Greenhouse Support Team will respond with a SendSafely link for you to enter your API key into (How does SendSafely work?), which will notify Greenhouse Support once the API key has been entered.
- Greenhouse Support will then email you back confirming that your API key has been setup in your account and your integration is ready to go.
- Add a special Fortay stage to your interview pipeline.
- As candidates enter that stage, send the Fortay interview through Greenhouse.
- Once candidates submit their test, a link to the results will be accessible through the Interview Kit in Greenhouse.
Enabling the Integration
To enable the integration at Fortay, login to your account and click Company > Integrations. You'll be able to retrieve your API key from here. Once you have your Fortay API key, forward it on to your Greenhouse Account Manager. Your Account Manager will enter the API Key into the system and then let you know when the integration is ready to go.
Adding the Fortay Interview Stage
To add the stage to your Interview Plan:
- Navigate to a specific job, and click the Job Setup tab
- Click Interview Plan
- Scroll down the page, and click the green + Add Stage button
- Select Fortay, and click the Add button
Configuring the Stage
Once the stage has been added, click Edit Take Home Test. From there, you will see a drop-down menu that reflects the assessment that you've previously set up in Fortay. Select the appropriate assessment, assign at least one Greenhouse user to grade/review submitted assessment, and then click Save.
Keep in mind that all configuration of the assessment itself, as well as the email template, will need to be handled in Fortay. While you will click "Send Test" from within Greenhouse, the interview instructions are actually sent by Fortay.
Sending the Test
When candidates are moved into the Fortay Interview stage, Greenhouse will display a Send Test link. While you will click "Send Test" in Greenhouse, the interview instructions will actually be sent through Fortay.
The status of the assessment will be viewable in Greenhouse:
- Take Home Test to be sent.
- Waiting for candidate to submit test
- Scorecard due from <DESIGNATED_GRADER>
Reviewing Test Results
Once the candidate has submitted their test, the Interview Kit will contain a link to view the submitted test on Fortay.

Agencies are starting to get Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks under control as combat attacks from bots or zombie clients. But like the hydra of legend, slay one head, and a new one pops up. The latest threat is the encrypted DDoS attack, which is detected and analyzed by examining packet headers. But packet headers require a customer's unique secure socket layer (SSL) key to unlock.
Prolexic announced that its SSL key-sharing tools make it easier to detect and stop encrypted Layer 7 (application layer) DDoS attacks while customers maintain control of their SSL keys at all times.
For quicker and easier DDoS analysis and detection, Prolexic developed the PLXabm SSL Hardware Security Module. Compliant with FIPS-140-2 Level 2 key management standards, this SSL module facilitates decryption of SSL traffic bi-directionally and enables automated alerting when a DDoS attack is detected.
"This enhancement to PLXabm allows our engineers to identify and isolate the source IP address, which they can use to block encrypted Layer 7 attacks," said Stuart Scholly, president at Prolexic. "Best of all, this approach ensures that our customers can maintain control over their SSL keys at all times."
Prolexic can also mitigate encrypted DDoS attacks using its PLXproxy service once the customer's SSL keys and certificates are uploaded and deployed to Prolexic.
Customers can elect to have their keys and certificates stored securely for reuse or provide temporary ones that are revoked after an encrypted DDoS attack is stopped. To aid in this process, PLXproxy SSL Manager, a secure and efficient way to upload SSL keys and certificates, can be accessed through the PLXportal, an online resource devoted to giving Prolexic customers greater visibility into their Prolexic DDoS mitigation services and activity.

Annual goal setting forms from HR
Posted 23 November 2009 - 03:10 PM
Anyway, now I need to veil my contempt in 1000 words rather than pictures and Im wondering if anyone else has some good strategies or guides to meaningless HR speak?
I have compiled a list of expensive training courses to place under training and development needs; and I was thinking of paraphrasing Schopenhauers discourse on the agony and bordom of will for the section titled goals/action plans.
Posted 23 November 2009 - 07:38 PM
The Dilbert cartoons didn't work, eh? It just shows how humourless and unimaginative those people are. However, if you do want them off your back (at least till next year), then you better switch German philosophers and start paraphrasing Zarathustra and his "Will To Power". Ambition, assertion, self-determination, life-affirmation...being consumed and burning up in your own flames...blablablabla.....a notch higher than Dilbert's but then they wouldn't know what hit them. Just my crazy cent....oh, and lucky for our HR, I don't need to fill up these forms....goodluck filling up yours....
- hobglobin, personal comment about my beauteous photo......
Posted 24 November 2009 - 08:38 AM
Basically, I write a list of everything I've done during the last year, including conferenced and publications, then I give it to my boss and HE makes the evaluation. He has tons of people sign it and then he sends it to HR...who does't give a damn. We never get a raise based on performance anyway .
A total waste of time. Or a stick to make people work?
A. Einstein
Posted 24 November 2009 - 08:18 PM
IT was prepared in the start of the year based on teh cmpany goals and evaluated every 4 months and rated. And the final rating was based on teh entire years accomplishments and then resulted in teh raise!!! very rarely though all was dependent on the rating!!!
In my present one.. its a start up.. we are the ones making all kinds of rules... so right now we prepare a monthly report which concludes by the next months work assignments and so on!!!

CARSON, Calif. – The LA Galaxy stood 10 minutes from taking an advantage to Mexico for the finale in their CONCACAF Champions League semifinal series, but Monterrey demonstrated at the finish why it has won the region's club championship the past two years.
Humberto Suazo scored an 82nd-minute equalizer and Aldo de Nigris netted the winner in stoppage to lift Monterrey to a 2-1 triumph in Wednesday night's first leg at the Home Depot Center.
A.J. DeLaGarza provided a first-half lead for the Galaxy, who had more of the game and were unfortunate not to score several goals before an injury to Juninho gave Monterrey control in the final half-hour.
OPTA Chalkboard: It all goes wrong for LA at the end
De Nigris tallied in the first minute of stoppage, gaining position inside Omar Gonzalez to knock the ball past goalkeeper Carlo Cudicini and inside the right post. Guillermo Madrigal provided the service, heading a chipped ball from José María Basanta into de Nigris' path.
Suazo scored on a rebound after Cudicini had dived to make a reaction save on de Nigris' powerful header off a César Delgado cross.
The Galaxy, who appeared on track to hand Monterrey just their fourth defeat in 31 CCL matches since 2010, had led 1-0 for much of the game thanks in large part to DeLaGarza. The veteran defender started the sequence leading to his goal with a quick throw-in on the right wing. LA strung together six quick passes, finishing with a Mike Magee header against the grain for DeLaGarza to flick past goalkeeper Juan de Díos Ibarra.
The Galaxy nearly went ahead in the 17th minute, when Magee forced Ibarra down to make a stop, and almost added to the lead three times, through Sean Franklin in the 42nd minute, Landon Donovan in the 65th and Robbie Keane in the 67th. Keane came closest, from a Donovan pass to the top of the 6-yard box, but Ibarra leaped forward to parry the Irishman's point-blank shot wide of the net.
Juninho departed in the 61st minute after twisting his right ankle when he stepped on an opponent's foot outside the Galaxy box, and LA lost control of midfield soon after. Until then, they had ample possession and had prevented Monterrey from meaningful penetration, keeping de Nigris and Suazo wrapped up much of the match.
Monterrey, who had never lost a first-leg game in the CCL's knockout stage, have lost just once in 15 home games in the tournament, a 1-0 Seattle Sounders victory in August 2011.
The Galaxy must overcome the deficit, and the Rayados' two away goals, next Wednesday, April 10, in Monterrey to advance to the championship home-and-home against Santos Laguna or the Sounders. Santos won the first leg of that series, 1-0, Tuesday night in Seattle.
MLSsoccer.com Men of the Match
|What We Saw
|Aldo de Nigris
|Maybe the most underrated striker in the region, a true No. 9 who can create and finish. Thank goodness he didn't play against the US in World Cup qualifying.
|Juan de Díos Ibarra
|The backup 'keeper came up big several times, but none more impressive than his 67th-minute stop on Keane. It changed the game.
|Things started going wrong – really wrong – for the Galaxy when he came off. Maybe not the team's best player, but definitely their most irreplaceable.

He's a week into his epic bid to run across America. Patrick Sweeney has so far clocked up 7 marathons – there's only another 113 to go! Below he gives us a little update on progress so far:
"The race is going great! The weather has been sunny and relatively warm. I am enjoying the company of my teammates. 3,000 miles (approx 5,000km) is quite a long race! The brain wants to do it but the body after the first 130 miles in five days has yet to find a groove.
"It's interesting trying to figure out how hard I can push without injuring myself. So far I have been taking it a little slower than I want to but I think it is smart to ease into this."
Patrick's marathon times have so far ranged from 4h 22m to 5h 15m.
He adds: "The vibe of the event is much more of an adventure than a race. I look forward to each day's run and all the experiences ahead of me. My Ambit3 has already kept me from getting lost more than once and I am very thankful to have it!"
We'll be giving regular updates on Patrick's progress. Stay tuned to find out more.

Food exports grew 2.1% in 2014 and are expected to increase further in 2015.
- High growth of overseas food exports
- Margins under pressure due to high labour and energy costs
- Still a cautious underwriting approach
The Belgian food sector recorded modest turnover growth of 0.3% in 2014, reaching EUR 48.3 billion. Companies active in the food segment increased their investment by 11.9%, to a record EUR 1.3 billion. When taking into account direct and indirect jobs, the Belgian food sector employs 187,000 people and increased its share in the Belgian manufacturing industry to 17.7% in 2014.
Food exports grew 2.1% in 2014, resulting in a positive trade balance of EUR 3.9 billion, which increased 11.8% compared to last year. While France, the Netherlands and Germany still account for the largest share of total exports (57%), deliveries to overseas markets recorded a whopping increase of 12.5%. Very large increases were recorded for exports to the US (up 17.4%), Brazil (up 31.9%) and China (up 23.6%). Subsectors with the strongest export performance are meat, dairy, fruit & vegetables, cereal and beverages. Quality and safety standards as well as process and product innovation are key selling points abroad. The Belgian food sector also excels with organisational and marketing innovations. Exports are expected to increase further in 2015, creating more jobs in the industry.
However, the Belgian food sector also faces some challenges that hamper its performance: besides high energy costs, which mainly affect smaller businesses, the food sector has difficulties in hiring staff with dedicated skills required in the industry (e.g. technicians, machine operators). At the same time, labour costs are more than 20% higher than in France, Germany and the Netherlands, countries which host big competitors. This has had a negative effect on the profit margins of many Belgian food businesses. That said, the recent boost in investments should help ensure that the food sector increases its productivity, helping it cope with mounting price pressure from high domestic labour and energy costs.
Belgian food companies have been facing declining raw materials prices since 2014. While this has negative consequences for farmers and growers, it creates opportunities for processing companies. It is however vital to hedge against such price swings in order to reduce risk on the already narrow margins.
The food sector has seen a slight improvement in non-payments and insolvencies (84 insolvency cases between January and September 2015, compared to 88 cases in the same period of 2014). It is expected that the level of payment delays and insolvencies will remain stable in the coming six months.
Despite continued growth in the food sector, our underwriting stance remains generally cautious. The meat subsector suffers from margin pressure and high competition, while a consolidation process is on-going in this segment. Some meat exporters are negatively affected by the Russian food import ban, which has also increased pressure on the fruit and vegetables segment.
Milk prices have decreased as a result of the abolition of EU milk quotas, and this will probably have a negative effect on producers, while being an advantage for processors.
We take into account the seasonal trends that affect most food subsectors and manage credit exposure through time-limited cover. Despite our generally cautious stance, we try to find ways to provide cover by obtaining additional information, for instance, good payment experience or a guarantee from a stronger parent company.

Ink Studies
When I started doing inked comic art, I was very cautious in my approach, doing a detailed ink study for every page in the story. Pictured here are some examples of those studies, all done in ink over prints of my pencils on regular copy paper (sometimes scrap). I have since taken this step out of the process, but I still abide by the same principles — I just try to anticipate any problems in the pencil stage.
This process was most useful for complicated compositions with multiple subjects. As you can see in some of the simpler panels, the pencils provided enough information to forgo inking.
Finally, just a note about my current project, Young Allies: I'm entering the final week of work now — ought to have everything inked by Wednesday, followed by a few days of intense coloring. If all goes according to plan, it should be on shelves in a month.
Following that, I will be working on a special project (non-Marvel) which is so awesome, I dare not say what it is.

Hey Paolo. Thanks sooo much for posting this . A GREAT insight to your process and a GREAT help to mines.ReplyDelete
These studies are really great, it's a nice way of training yourself before you begin to attack the boards. I've only started to become comfortable penciling my pages in a way that is suitable for ink. But what I've noticed within my own work is that I tend to simplify the subject matter by choosing not to follow every single line thats on the page. There was a huge discussion within one of my classes between tracing your pencils with ink or straight up drawing in ink. David Mazzucchelli is one of those artists who draw in ink. We were so amazed in class by how such little lines he needed to describe a figure with pencil and would leave all the little details in the his inking stage.ReplyDelete
Inking is a very tough subject matter of which one needs to be confident with the strokes they make. Ink doesn't lie. If you hesitate with a stroke it will show. But Paolo you seem to have a great way of laying down your lines. Not only do you describe objects with certain types of line weights but also with texture, by using a dry brush. Great stuff! Will be on the lookout for the Young Allies.
Thanks for the kind words, guys.ReplyDelete
Manny, you're studying with a true master, but you probably already know that. Alex Toth is another one that comes to mind whenever I think about ink. I'm still learning as I go along, but I'm happy to have an audience in the meantime.

IBM has launched the IBM Institute for Advanced Security, a program intended to help government and private sector clients, academics, and business partners address and mitigate the issues associated with securing cyberspace. Based in Washington, D.C., the Institute will provide a collaborative setting for public and private sector officials to tap IBM's security expertise so they can more efficiently and effectively secure and protect critical systems and information threatened by increasingly malicious and costly cyber threats.
IBM experts from across the company will come together within the Institute to help clients address existing and emerging cybersecurity challenges by using analytics and other advanced technologies, services and solutions to anticipate, prevent and mitigate the growing risk and potential economic impact of cyber attacks.
"There is no lack of security products and services available today, but adding security after a system is developed or implemented seldom works. Moreover, today's rapidly-evolving threats make such 'bolt-on' approaches even less effective at a time when clients are wary of not realizing a return from their security investments," said Charles Palmer, director of the Institute for Advanced Security and chief technologist of Cybersecurity and Privacy for IBM Research. "IBM will engage with government clients and other constituents to help them comprehensively understand how to develop and integrate effective security protections into the fabric of their critical systems and services."
The Institute also will support IBM's existing work with government and private sector leaders, and serve as a focal point for new clients, policymakers, and other key constituencies to access and collaborate with the company's cybersecurity experts and resources in the U.S. and around the world.

SMF - Just Installed!
I suppose if one assumes that Suspiria is unreliable due to having been altered into a "monster" and one accepts that she's a level four sorcerer (or at least very exceptionally powerful now) one could assume that it's possible or even likely that she physically manipulated everyone but Halcyon (if not also him), or created puppets of them after having disposed of them (in Qtalda's case only disposing of an "avatar" by mistake (assuming the current Qtalda is an independent being!)) in order to convince Crest to trust her in a concretely demonstrable way (that may also reinforce his commitment to her) by committing to using the sword on her (perhaps there was no need for this either, and thus no physical risk to Suspiria, if it was all a staged scenario). I don't find this especially likely at least in whole from a story standpoint, but if Crest reset his opinion on the basis of being unable to trust in Suspiria's nature given that it may have been altered by a large amount by the mysterious Thin Man, it could make sense.
bulmabriefs114, her memories could be altered in a controlled or uncontrolled manner, which is why there's even a reason Crest can entertain the side of the story Qtalda and friends gave him.
Did you think the group spontaneously formed or what?
Again I come back to my original point of view... What possible reason would Suspiria have to put on that entire dog & pony show... JUST for Crest's benefit? If she had the power to control minds so thoroughly.. why not just MAKE Crest love/believe in her! Heck she didn't EVEN use that 'alleged' power to coerce Crest to give her the affection she so wanted and just have her way with him..EVEN just once... she likely could have made him believe he wanted her {which.. I'm not entirely convinced in some part of his heart he did not desire her..small as it might be}, or even just erased the 'coupling' from his memories.Occam's razor - "other things being equal, simpler explanations are generally better than more complex ones"I STILL Think Qtalda's lying and she has the magical power to cover her tracks by altering other people's memories... but only time will tell the truth.
I agree that it's flimsy, but there would still be some chance that Suspiria wanted "genuine" loyalty/other from Crest based on lies more than she wanted to just turn Crest into a puppet directly. That or she wants to use him somehow where such mind control would be discovered, undermining her plan.

Big losses in the stock market can send investors scurrying for "safe" investments.
But what is a "safe" investment?
Stocks are risky because stock prices go up and down all the time—sometimes wildly so—and if you have money invested in stocks, the value of your original investment can drop substantially.
In contrast, many investors put money in bonds to receive interest income and assume their original investment—their principal—will not change in value.
However, this assumption is wrong! You can lose principal in a bond investment, and you can make money in a bond. This is true whether you hold them individually, or collectively in the form of a bond mutual fund.
Bond prices go up and down for a number of reasons, but the biggest single factor is changes in interest rates. All bonds are affected by interest rate changes, regardless of the issuer or the credit rating or whether the bond is "insured" or "guaranteed." And interest rates do change quite frequently.
Why do interest rates have such a big impact?
Let's say your bond fund owns a 30-year Treasury bond yielding 6%. But now interest rates are up to 8%. How can the fund sell their existing bond, with a coupon of 6%, when newly issued bonds of similar maturity have an 8% coupon?
The only thing the fund can do is mark down the bond. In this example, the 6% bond would have to be sold at about 77.4 cents on the dollar—a loss of 22.6%!
What can you do to protect your money against interest rate fluctuations?
Interest rate changes have the biggest impact on long-term bonds, and a lower impact on short-term bonds. Think of a see-saw, with shorter-maturity bonds close to the center, and long-term bonds at the end: When interest rates push the see-saw up or down, there is less movement closer to the center, but the end is flung up and down much more dramatically.
If you want to play it safe, your best protection is to buy bond funds with maturities that are either short (under one year) or intermediate (between two and seven years).
|Table 1. Interest Rate Risk: Price Changes for 6% Bond If Interest Rates Rise
|Change in Bond Price If Interest Rates Rise To:
|1 Year
|5 Years
|10 Years
|30 Years

I genuinely appreciate the support I get from everyone who buys my images. Buying your images from me is the only way I can justify the considerable expense in time and equipment to take your images and video and maintain this site. As a sign of that appreciation I have created pages like this one for anyone who buys their images from me. Your support is what keeps me going.
Every surfer who buys their images from me will now have their own page on my website. This page will include a number of albums of images arranged in sessions. A session is a selection of images that have been purchased at one time. When you buy your next load of images I will upload more images to your web page. As you buy more images I will create more sessions. These images will be larger than the images I normally display on my site and not have a www.sandonpointphotos.com watermark across the middle of them.
Hint. Use the arrow in the top lefthand corner on any page in an album to navigate back to all the albums in that session and back to the home page. Use the link at the bottom of each page to go back to that surfer's page.

Ugolino Golf Course is one of the most impressive and beautiful natural golf courses in the world in Italy and offers different levels of difficulty.
In 1889 the English colony of Florence founded the Florence Golf Club and the first Italian Golf Association. Originally founded in the Cascine area, the golf course was transferred to the Osmannoro area after the first world war.
Between the 20's and 30's the idea of creating a new golf course took shape and in 1933 the Ugolino Golf Course was built on the Chiantigiana street by the English architects Blandford and Gannon.
The American author Chris Santella names the Ugolino Golf Course in his well known book '50 Places to Play Golf Before You Die'.
Tee times at the Ugolino Golf Club should be booked in advance to ensure the special conditions available to guests.

Bespoke gifts
Pampaloni also offers Lungarno Collection guests the opportunity to express their feelings in silver by commissioning a bespoke gift for their loved one.

Thousands cross Ponte Vecchio every day while each year just a handful discover its ancient secrets. Established in the 16th century, master jewellers Fratelli Piccini unlock the doors to a select few, offering two unforgettable experiences.
Enveloped in the spaces between the Vasari corridor and the Arno river awaits a journey through the history of gold.

Objective: The objective of this study is to determine the safety and tolerability of Post-exposure Prophylaxis (PEP) with a regimen of Truvada + Kaletra among health care workers (HCWs) at Henry Ford Hospital.
Hypothesis: Raltegravir is safe and better tolerated compared with Kaletra, each in combination with Truvada, as assessed by review of completion rates of PEP and also review of completed safety data.
|Condition or disease
|Human Immunodeficiency Virus
|Drug: emtricitabine/tenofovir disoproxil fumarate
|Phase 4
Health Care Workers that have occupational exposure to blood are at risk for HIV infection. Prevention of blood exposure, through safer practices, barrier precautions, safer needle devices, and other innovations, is the best way to prevent infection with HIV and other bloodborne pathogens.
Though these strategies have been successful in reducing the frequency of blood exposure and needlestick injuries in the past decade, the hazard has not been eliminated. As of December 2001, the CDC had received voluntary reports of 57 documented cases of HIV seroconversion temporally associated with occupational exposure to HIV among U.S. health care personnel. An additional 138 infections among health care personnel were considered possible cases of occupational transmission. Because there is no cure or effective vaccine for HIV, optimal post exposure care, including the administration of antiretroviral drugs to prevent HIV infection, remains a high priority in protecting health care workers.

Fort Collins, CO, USA – September 14, 2017 – Renowned major online retailer Bargain Brute has announced its plans to help the storm victims in Florida and Texas. An overwhelming majority of American people have been recently devastated in both states due to the hurricanes of Harvey in Texas and now Irma in Florida. The community has welcomed this initiative and the retailer is now welcoming everyone for generous support for this great cause of saving the humanity. This is indeed a very inspiring initiative with a great potential and spirit to help a vast majority of people currently stuck there.
"Basically we are providing an organized outlet for people to send tangible items to storm victims instead of money," said Douglas Vandergraph while introducing the initiative. "You never know where the money is going or in whose pocket but the sent food will get eaten, and clothing will be worn," he added. According to Douglas, the help will also include blankets and will also provide comfort along with the tools that will help these people rebuild their communities. Furthermore, participation in this inspiring process is quite easy and donors can directly send their help to the victims in form of items that are already available on the website.
In addition, the webstore of Bargain Brute now has more than 2 million items in stock and ready to be shipped to those victims who are in need. The Hurricane Harvey Relief is speeding up and people are now stepping forward for the Hurricane Irma Relief as well. According to the spokesperson of the retailer, the initiative will help Houston and Florida alike. The most amazing fact regarding this help is that people will be participating in this noble cause just by shopping online, which is amazing. These tough times have once again united the great nation of the United States with its brave people who are leaving the entire global community behind with their charity and spirit to help their fellow countrymen at the hands of these unfortunate natural disasters.
The flood victims of Florida and Texas need food, clothing, blankets, water, medication and other tools. All these items are already available in stock on the online shopping website and are ready to be shipped. Generous donors can simply purchase these items from the website and the company will ship them to Texas and Florida on behalf of the donor. Another amazing fact is that the online store contains a wide range of products that actually include all types of products required by the victims as well as the displaced people in their times of need.

QUESTION OF THE WEEK- What do you think of a West Main streetcar?
Now videocast online.
Ryan Cox:""Cool! It reminds me of San Francisco.""
Penny DuBois: "Good idea. It'll stop the traffic. It will help other people get from one place to the other without having the parking problems that we have."
Chris Brena:"I think, generally, it'd be a great idea. My only concern– being a cyclist and commuting on my bike– if it encroached on those two bike lanes that are so efficient on Main Street, that would be problematic. Otherwise, from a tourist standpoint, I think it'd be a nice attraction. It would also cut down on the traffic congestion at certain times on Main Street."

Teams are now set for the 14th annual AJGA Canon Cup, the American Junior Golf Association announced Wednesday. The 2003 event will be played at Sea Island Golf Club's Seaside Course in Sea Island, Ga., August 4 - 7.
The Canon Cup pits East vs. West (divided by the Mississippi River) in a team match play format over three days. The first two days of competition include foursome and four-ball matches, and the final day is reserved for singles matches. Teams (10 boys and 10 girls) were selected based on a point system and include four captains' picks per squad.
Of the 40 participants this year, 32 are Polo Golf Junior All-Americans, while nine boys and nine girls who are ranked in the top 20 of the Golfweek/Titleist Junior Rankings (as of July 13) will represent their respective teams.
Matt Cuccaro, the East Team captain and AJGA director of tournament development, has five players returning from last year's squad, including second-team Polo Golf Junior All-American Mallory Code of Tampa, Fla., who is set for her fourth Canon Cup. The East side also features the top-ranked boy in the Golfweek/Titleist Rankings, Brian Harman of Savannah, Ga., who has captured two major championships in 2003. The East Boys are strong as eight of the 15 top-ranked boys are competing for Cuccaro.
Six players return from last year for the defending champion West squad. Among the returnees for Captain Gus Montano, AJGA director of education, are the reigning Polo Golf Boys Junior Player of the Year Seung Su Han of Chino Hills, Calif., and first-team Polo Golf Junior All-American Jonathan Moore of Portland, Ore., who finished the event last year with a perfect 4-0 record.
"Canon is very proud to sponsor the AJGA's premier match play competition," said Debra Epstein, vice president and general manager, Canon U.S.A., Inc. "The Canon Cup allows aspiring young golfers the opportunity to experience the importance of teamwork and good sportsmanship through this unique team competition."
The West squad will look to retain the title and improve its 5-7-1 record against the East after winning last year 35.5-14.5. The West team won two of the first three Canon Cups before the East team ran off five straight wins and a tie from 1993-98. Past Canon Cup participants include Tiger Woods, Stewart Cink, David Gossett, Charles Howell III, Ty Tryon, Beth Bauer, Cristie Kerr, Kelli Kuehne and Grace Park.
"I really enjoyed playing in the Canon Cup," said David Gossett, PGA TOUR player. "It was fun and they treated us so nice. I remember working hard all summer long so I could get on the Canon Cup team. It's the best juniors in the country so the competition is high."
The Canon Cup is part of Canon's overall commitment to support youth programs. Canon recently launched the Canon4Kids program with PGA TOUR player Briny Baird to help find missing children. Baird displays a different child's image on his golf bag each week he plays on the PGA TOUR. In addition, Canon donates money to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children for every birdie, eagle and hole-in-one he makes during the tournaments in which he plays. Canon makes a similar donation to NCMEC for birdies, eagles, and holes-in-one made by LPGA Tour player Michelle McGann.
Canon U.S.A., Inc. delivers consumer, business-to-business, and industrial imaging solutions. The company is listed as one of Fortune's Most Admired Companies in America, and is ranked No. 43 on the Business Week list of "Top 100 Brands." Its parent company Canon Inc. (NYSE:CAJ) is a top patent-holder of technology, ranking second overall in the United States in 2003, with global revenues of $24.5 billion. Canon U.S.A. employs more than 10,000 people at more than 30 locations. For more information, visit www.usa.canon.com.
The American Junior Golf Association is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to the overall growth and development of young men and women who aspire to earn college golf scholarships through competitive junior golf. The AJGA, the largest Association of its kind, has a junior membership (boys and girls ages 13-18) of approximately 5,000 junior golfers from 50 states and 30 foreign countries.
AJGA alumni have risen to the top of amateur, collegiate and professional golf. More than 160 former AJGA juniors currently play on the PGA and LPGA Tours and have compiled more than 280 wins. AJGA alumni include Phil Mickelson, Tiger Woods, Davis Love III, Mike Weir, Jim Furyk, Dottie Pepper, Grace Park, Vicki Goetze-Ackerman and Cristie Kerr.

Debunking the myths that stop you investing in a new SSD
Let's work through a few those now.
This may well have been the case when SSDs first came onto the market, but now, there is literally no gap between them and HDDs. The code development continues in relation to the development of solid state hardware and aspects like error correction have been addressed.
Myth 1 - Traditional magnetic hard drives have had so much more time to perfect their firmware development and they're just...better.
Myth or Fact?
Answer - Myth
Myth 2 - SSDs just aren't up to heavy usage and will wear out too quickly.It is well documented that flash memory has a limited number of writes before degradation occurs, but there are steps that can be taken to mitigate the long term effects of this characteristic. Overprovisioning the space required by a factor of around 20% and optimising use patterns are just 2 ways this can be achieved.
Most users will never encounter this problem, but if you think you might give yours a hammering, there are different durability levels of SSD you can choose from when you purchase to suit your intended usage requirements.
Myth or Fact?
Answer - Fact. However, the poor durability claims made by some are somewhat exaggerated.
Myth 3 - When the power's off, SSDs lose stored data fast!Retention loss just isn't an issue for today's SSDs and whilst extremes in heat can result in trapped electrons tunneling more quickly, the environment temperature solid state drives are typically stored in means that there is no problem with data loss.
Myth or Fact?
Answer - Myth.
Myth 4 - As SSD form factors reduce, so does data reliability.As SSDs become more and more widely used in laptops, there has been an obvious and natural need to make them smaller. This has led to some claiming that these smaller features mean that fewer electrons are able to be stored in each individual cell and in turn mean they are less reliable.
This is, in part true, but that what has to be taken into consideration is that SSDs use software that is able to overcome this problem. Meaning that it shouldn't stop you buying one, even for your laptop.
Myth or Fact?
Answer - Fact. This may be true, but it can still be filed under the 'myth debunked' column.
If you'd like more information or you're considering investing in an SSD and you have questions you need answering, have a chat with one of our tech support team. Don't let hearsay stop you from improving your computer's performance with a solid state drive.
