This 8-hour course provides state-of-the-art instructor-level training on the topic of Less Lethal Munitions. The student will gain detailed knowledge on the selection, preparation, deployment, storage and legal ramifications of Less Lethal Munitions. In particular, the student will gain specific information in Defense Technology® Less Lethal products, including 12ga, 37mm, and 40mm munitions, along with the skills necessary to return to their agency and conduct in-service training.
With a focus on the planning and tactical deployment of Less Lethal Munitions, this course includes a half day of lecture-based studies, followed by a half day of deployment testing and evaluation. Unlike many classes on this topic, the information provided is direct from the manufacturer of the products used and includes information on launching platforms, tactical considerations in the use of Less Lethal munitions, psychological/physiological effects, blunt trauma and ballistic energy, criminal and civil liabilities/policies/procedures and instructor development for in-service training and documentation. Throughout the class, the students participate in discussions with instructors who are nationally recognized for their experience in real world deployments of chemical agents. Upon course completion and successfully passing the final exam, students are allowed to return to their agency and provide in-service training in specific areas for 36 calendar months from the testing date.
Students will receive a CD containing the PowerPoint program used in each course. These CDs contain material and video to be utilized by the student when for training in their own departments.
Fit for Duty: This course involves physical exercises. Students are required to actively participate in these exercises as part of their successful completion requirements. Students should be physically prepared for these classes in order to ensure successful completion of the courses. Some of these courses involve exposure to chemical agents as well as the physical exercises.

In honour of the Colorado Avalanche demoting Mark Olver to the AHL after two assists in 14 minutes of playing time over four games, here are the players averaging the most points per minute early in the NHL season.
There are some ways to look at these numbers and see potential benefits for particular players.
First, if it's a first-line player like Brad Richards or Steven Stamkos, just keep on keeping on. They're going to play significant minutes, so there is ample opportunity to put up points.
Then, we come to guys in new locations and some evidence (however little) that it might be working. Nathan Horton, Matt Cullen and Clarke MacArthur are all making a positive impact in their new uniforms. Brendan Morrison and Andrew Ladd are scoring for their new clubs as well.
What about the grinders who are overachieving? Sure, it's nice to see Dominic Moore and Marty Reasoner chipping in offensively, but let's not get too carried away expecting their early offensive surges to continue.
They've been around long enough to establish a certain level of expected production. Perhaps the same argument can be used for Cullen, but he has often played more of a power play role than typical checking forwards.
Where this measure might be most important, however, is for that player who may be able to earn a top six forward role on their team and need to produce offensively to keep that coveted position.
Rookies like Mark Letestu and Derek Stepan, as well as Islanders journeyman P.A. Parenteau are intriguing with their early-season scoring exploits, as are sleepers Teddy Purcell and (perhaps deep sleeper) Matt D'Agostini.
It's early, so these numbers may not amount to much even a week from now, but if a player is putting up points when given the chance, there exists the possibility that he'll get more opportunities to continue doing the same. Coaches are funny that way.

What is General Anesthesia and will your child need it?
What should you do to prepare your child for General Anesthesia?
What should you do when you arrive?
What should you expect while your child is receiving General Anesthesia?
What should you expect after your child has received General Anesthesia?
General anesthesia will be scheduled when it is considered the safest way to keep your child still and comfortable throughout his/her radiology procedure. Some children require general anesthesia instead of sedation due to their medical history or physical characteristics. On rare occasion, a child may be referred for general anesthesia by the sedation nurse practitioner/physician because he/she "failed sedation." This means that the child was not able to complete the test or procedure because the desired depth of sleep was not achieved, or the child did not tolerate the sedation medications. Your child's physician can request general anesthesia through the radiology scheduler at 215-590-7000.
At The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, a team of specially trained doctors and nurses provide all of the anesthesia care. The anesthesiologist will want to make sure that your child is in the best possible physical condition before the test or procedure, therefore, your child may need a pre-anesthesia evaluation (also called a pre-visit).
After your child's physician schedules the test/procedure, you will receive a call from the radiology scheduler to confirm the date and time of the test and the pre-visit appointments. The pre-visit appointment is located in the Anesthesia Resource Center (ARC) on the third floor of the Wood Building. An Anesthesia Nurse Practitioner will ask about your child's medical history and will examine your child. You are encouraged to ask questions and discuss your concerns about the anesthesia plan.
If your child has received general anesthesia at The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia within the last 12 months, he/she may not need a pre-visit. If this is the case, the Radiology Phone Triage Nurse will call within 30 days of your child's test or procedure date. This nurse will update your child's medical history and will give you information about when to arrive at the hospital, where to go for registration, and pre-anesthesia diet instructions.
Please remember that a parent or legal guardian needs to come with the child on the day of anesthesia. A legal guardian must bring a copy of the court issued guardianship papers or the procedure may be postponed or cancelled unnecessarily.
The Radiology Department follows the hospital's pre-anesthesia guidelines for eating and drinking. It is very important that you follow these instructions or your child's test may be delayed or rescheduled. Some tests require a special oral prep the night before the test. Please follow the diet/prep instructions you are given for your child's particular test. If in doubt, call the Radiology Department Phone Triage Nurse at 267-426-7985.
No food, milk, drink, candy or gum after 11 p.m. the evening before the procedure, except:
Consoling a young child who is not allowed to eat is a challenge. Be vigilant that the child does not help himself to food or drink and keep him away from other children who are eating. A hungry child is very resourceful at finding things to eat (example: pieces of cereal under the car seat cushion), and a sympathetic brother or sister may be tempted to share food.
The entire process, from arrival through anesthesia and recovery, can be physically draining for any parent/caregiver. For your own well-being, we strongly encourage you to eat and drink prior to arrival. We do not allow food or eating in the radiology waiting rooms or patient care areas. The radiology staff will direct you to vending machines and/or cafeterias.
Unless otherwise instructed, you may give your child his/her morning prescription medications while he/she is still allowed to take clear liquids. Remember — DO NOT give your child medication with applesauce or pudding, as these are considered solid foods. You may use Jell-OTM as an alternative to applesauce or pudding. Medications that are due later in the day may be given after your child has completed the test/procedure and recovered from anesthesia. Please give your child his/her usual respiratory medication treatments the day before and morning of the test.
Children who are scheduled for general anesthesia for a Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scan should arrive one hour before the test is scheduled. Once you arrive, the first thing that you need to do is register your child. The registration area for MRI scans is located near the bank of elevators on the 2nd floor of the Wood Building.
Children who are scheduled for general anesthesia for other radiology tests or procedures should report to the Day Surgery Pre-op Check-in Area on the 4th floor of the Main Building. You should arrive 90 minutes prior to the scheduled test time if your child did not have an anesthesia pre-visit. This extra time will allow for a brief physical exam and review of medical history.
Children who did have an anesthesia pre-visit should arrive one hour prior to scheduled test time.
You and your child will be greeted by a nurse and taken to an exam room. Here a nurse or medical technician will weigh your child and check your child's temperature, heart rate, blood pressure, and oxygen level, and your child will change into hospital pajamas. The nurse will listen to your child's breathing and get an update on his/her health status, including current medications, allergies, recent pain issues, and your child's last solid food and clear liquid intake.
In keeping with The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia policy, all female patients who have begun menstrual periods must have either a blood or urine pregnancy test before anesthesia is given. This is necessary to prevent the possibility of giving a general anesthetic to someone who is pregnant.
You and your child may return to the waiting area until it is time to move to the radiology test/procedure area and meet with the anesthesiologist. The anesthesiologist will discuss the anesthesia plan with you. You and your child are encouraged to ask questions and discuss any concerns. Most children will be given a medicine by mouth that can make them giggly, sleepy, and unsteady. Once this medicine is given, children are in danger of falling and may not walk around. You may stay with your child until the anesthesiologist directs you to the waiting room.
The radiology staff will direct you to the appropriate waiting area. The anesthesia staff will administer medications and monitor your child during the test/procedure. Once your child is finished, he/she will be moved to a recovery area.
If your child has completed a MRI scan, the anesthesiologist will decide if your child will recover in the MRI Department or be taken to the Post Anesthesia Care Unit (PACU) on the 4th floor of the Main Building. Children who have completed other radiology procedures will be taken directly to the PACU for recovery. We will make every effort to reunite you with your child as soon as possible. For safety reasons, only one adult is allowed in the PACU. Please make arrangements for the care of your other children so that you can be with your hospitalized child.
Your child may be receiving oxygen, have an IV, or may be attached to a monitor. A nurse will continue to monitor your child's heart rate, breathing, blood pressure, oxygen reading, and temperature regularly during recovery.
Each child wakes up differently. Some are wide awake in the recovery room; others are groggy for hours. You will be instructed NOT to wake your child if he/she is sleeping. Some children wake up very confused and agitated for ten minutes to one hour after the procedure.
Approximately one third of children, especially those under six, experience "emergence delirium." They appear to be awake, but are not really aware. During this time, the child may cry, thrash, and reach for the parent. Nothing seems to calm the child. It is upsetting to watch but usually goes away by itself. Your nurse will make sure that your child is safe. Sometimes, a quiet, dark room can help the child go back to sleep. Usually, it just takes time for the effects of anesthesia to wear off. Try to stay calm, speak softly, and comfort your child. He/she will not remember this excited state and often, will wake up feeling fine.
Once your child is awake and able, he/she may gradually resume feeding. Unless otherwise instructed, infants may receive their usual formula or breast-feeding. Children on special diets or tube feedings may resume their routine as tolerated. Anesthesia may cause nausea and vomiting so you are encouraged to avoid foods high in fat or protein until your child is completely back to normal. We also suggest that you avoid feeding your child on the car ride home. If your child has nausea or vomiting prior to discharge, intravenous (IV) fluids and medication may be given to help your child feel better. If your child has nausea or vomiting after leaving the hospital, call the phone number listed on your discharge instructions and the radiology or anesthesia staff will advise you.
Unless otherwise instructed, your child's home medication routine may be resumed. Children who are being admitted to the hospital following their test/procedure will have a diet plan and medications ordered once they are on the inpatient unit.
It is very common for children to be wobbly and prone to falls for up to 24 hours after anesthesia, so activities that require coordination should be restricted. Infants and young children need extra head support when being held and children who are able to walk will need assistance from an adult to keep them from stumbling into the furniture or falling down stairs. Quiet activities are recommended at home until the child is back to normal. Children are generally able to return to school 24 hours following anesthesia. The radiology or anesthesia staff will be able to give your child a note for school and advise you if you have any specific questions or concerns.
You will be given written discharge instructions before you leave the hospital. The instruction sheet will give you the phone numbers that you may call if you have a question or problem at home. An anesthesia or radiology nurse will also call you the next day to see how your child is doing and ask about his/her anesthesia experience.

Winters is a freelance writer. In this essay, Winters considers the persistence of romantic ideas in current attitudes about nature and the environment.
Romantic odes may be out of style, and few novels are now written in the style of Jane Austen or Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley, but some romantic ideas and ideals are still deeply embedded in our own popular culture, particularly in popular attitudes about nature. Most people do not know it, but our current ideas about the environment and our relationship to it were born during the romantic era.

This cheesecake has been a huge success at the bakery since its introduction. It is a lovely dessert for an autumn dinner party. I love to make cheesecakes when I'm entertaining because they can be made one to two days in advance, before guests even arrive.–Allysa Torey
Pumpkin Cheesecake with Gingersnap Pecan Crust Recipe
- Quick Glance
- Makes one 10-inch cheesecake
- For the crust
- 8 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 1/2 cups gingersnap cookie crumbs
- 1/2 cup chopped toasted pecans (see note)
- For the filling
- 3/4 pound cream cheese, softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar
- 5 large eggs, at room temperature
- 1 1/2 cups canned pumpkin purée
- 3/4 cup heavy cream
- 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
- For the sweet vanilla whipped cream
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 2 teaspoons sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- For the garnish
- Sweet Vanilla Whipped Cream
- Toasted pecan halves
- Make the crust
- 1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
- 2. In a small bowl, combine the butter with the gingersnap cookie crumbs and pecans. Press into the bottom of a buttered 10-inch springform pan.
- 3. Bake for 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool on a wire rack.
- Make the filling
- 4. In a large bowl, on the low speed of an electric mixer, beat the cream cheese until very smooth. Gradually add the sugars. Add the eggs, one at a time. Add the pumpkin purée and mix until just blended. To ensure that the batter has no lumps and that no ingredients are stuck to the bottom of the bowl, stop the mixer several times and scrape down the side of the bowl with a rubber spatula. Stir in the heavy cream and cinnamon.
- 5. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and set the pan on a baking sheet. Bake until the edges are set and the center moves only slightly when the pan is shaken, about 1 hour.
- 6. At the end of the baking time, turn off the heat and, using a wooden spoon to keep the oven door slightly ajar, cool the cake in the oven for 1 hour before removing. Cover and refrigerate for at least 12 hours or overnight.
- Make the vanilla whipped cream
- 7. Place all the ingredients in a medium-size bowl and whip with an eggbeater or a whisk until soft peaks form. Serve immediately or cover tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 4 hours.
- Serving the cheesecake
- 8. Remove the cake from the refrigerator 15-30 minutes before cutting and serving. Garnish with the sweetened whipped cream and toasted pecan halves.
- To toast the pecans, place on a baking sheet in a 350°F (175°C) oven for 15 minutes, or until lightly browned and fragrant.

(Reuters) - Federal prosecutors in California are investigating a unit of Caterpillar Inc
Peoria, Illinois-based Caterpillar said in the filing that its Progress Rail Services Corp subsidiary received a grand jury subpoena on October 24 from the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California. The U.S. attorney's office in that district told Progress Rail it is a target of a criminal investigation related to the subpoena, the filing said.
The subpoena requested documents and other information from Progress Rail, Caterpillar and Progress Rail subsidiary United Industries Corp in connection with allegations that Progress Rail conducted unnecessary or improper rail car inspections and that it failed to properly dispose of equipment, parts, tools and other items, the filing said.
Caterpillar said in a statement that it is cooperating with the authorities on the matter and declined further comment.
The U.S. attorney's office in California did not immediately return a request for comment Friday evening.

It must be a slow day for Dan Bice; he's taken to trolling the comments of stories for blog fodder(I seldom read comments). George Mitchell is fair game; he's "in the game" as it were. But Bice frames this blog post from the world view that Mitchell's observation is moon batty.(I'm sure Bice would disagree with that take). But then he goes on to provide ample evidence that Mitchell is spot on:
Williams said Walker and GOP legislators are intent on destroying the original purpose for the program, which was created to help poor African-American children. She said her criticism does not make her racist.
"My pro-black views make some white people uncomfortable," she said. "The white people who know me understand me and are not offended."
First; opposing expanding the program beyond blacks can't be perceived as racist? Imagine a white person(oh, let's just say a talk show host) opposed expanding a program to black people. Would that be racist? And then there is this: "my pro-black views make some white people uncomfortable." Holy crap. Just turn that around in your head and see if it sounds racist to you. Parting shot: remember this gem? Imagine a white lawmaker urging white voters to keep an assembly district white.

Simpson DuraPlus HTC Chimney System - All-Fuel Chimney for Canada
DuraPlus HTC is a double-wall, all-fuel chimney system designed for Canada for use with wood stoves; fireplaces; and appliances using wood, oil, gas, or coal. Thermal Tech II insulation encased between inner and outer walls of .020" 430 stainless steel. Thermal Tech II Blanket insulation is made of light-weight silica-ceramic. This insulation will not shrink or cause gaps like products made of mineral wool or other loose-fill insulations. Encased between two stainless steel walls, the insulation maintains a barrier that will not shift or settle. The 2" wall keeps the exterior cool, while ensuring high temperatures for optimum draft performance on the outside. Locks tightly with a precision twist-lock connection. Simpson DuraPlus HTC carries a limited-lifetime warranty.
2" clearance to combustibles.
DuraPlus HTC Chimney is a complete chimney system tested and listed to ULCS629 Standard for 650 degrees C Factory-Built Chimneys for use in Canada.
Can be used with wood stoves, fireplaces, fireboxes, furnaces, boilers, water heaters, stoves, ranges, or other residential-type appliances fueled by oil, gas, coal or wood, that requires a ULCS629 chimney system.
The DuraPlus HTC Chimney system may have a maximum of two (2) offsets (four elbows total), each offset up to 45 degrees from vertical.
Thermal Tech II insulation encased between inner and outer walls of .020" 430 stainless steel.
Available in 6"(150mm), 7" (175mm) and 8" (200mm) diameters.
OMNI Listed to ULC S629 (143-P-03-2).
Typical Installations
Using the Typical Venting Installation drawings (below), select the appropriate component parts for your installation.
A DVL/DuraBlack Chimney Adapter must be used when connecting DVL or DuraBlack stovepipe to a Ceiling Support, Wall Thimble, or Finishing Collar.
A Wall Thimble must be installed with an appropriate section of chimney pipe for all horizontal through-the-wall installations. To accommodate thicker walls use a wall thimble extension.
An Attic Insulation Shield must be used in all installations that pass through an attic, regardless of whether the attic is insulated or not. If chimney is enclosed in a chase in the attic space, an Attic Insulation Shield is not required.
A Firestop Radiation Shield must be used when a chimney passes through a floor or ceiling without a Ceiling Support Box.
A Roof Radiation Shield is required at the roof deck penetration.
Be fire-safe!
-Maintain at least a minimum 2" clearance (air space) to combustibles. Use proper support and bracing. Follow local building codes and have your chimney inspected by a certified professional.
- The diameter of the chimney should match the outlet size of the appliance. An improperly sized chimney results in poor draft and excessive creosote formation.
- Measure the diameter of the appliance flue outlet. Select the chimney and either DVL or DuraBlack connector stovepipe with the same size diameter as the appliance flue outlet. For fireplace installations, call us.
- Determine if the installation is a through-the-roof installation or a through-the-wall installation. A through-the-wall installation will require additional components (Wall Thimble, Tee w/ Cap, Tee Support, and Wall Straps).
- Install the chimney in the interior of the structure whenever possible. A cold exterior chimney will produce less draft and will generate more creosote.
- If possible, avoid offsets that serve to restrict the natural draft.
- Determine the minimum chimney height above the roof line. Check your local building codes for proper installation.

job vs. career
One of my colleagues—I'll call him G.—recently told me how he had gotten his current job. He said it was because he had been unemployed for six months. In that time, he got up early every day, studied, and coded. What did he study? Everything listed in the job description.
Having a job can lull one into a false sense of security. Before his layoff, G. had been working for one of a handful of U.S. defense contractors where security, quality, and policy protocols dictated that every piece of technology was vetted and approved. This meant that G. was working with older tried–and–true languages and frameworks. So although he was well–versed in Java, he was walled off from newer developments such as Struts and Spring.
Employment might be the worst thing for one's career. Not every company is willing to nurture your growth outside the office walls. Insider familiarity with an employer's proprietary business algorithms might well come at the expense of a broader skill set.
There are a few ways to counteract this career atrophy:
- Read. Not just fiction. Not just about tools, but also about process, about craft.
- Code outside of work. For fun. For profit.
- Respect and value your family time, but attend some tech meetings.
- Present at some tech meetings. The Q&A might teach you more than you expect.
- Blog or tweet. This will collect and reinforce your learning. More about this later.

The public spanking of IBM's sales people
Was CEO Rometty right to publicly critique the company's sales organization for moving too slowly?
By Robert Sher
IBM'ers were under that lash last Wednesday as CEO Ginni Rometty publicly criticized her sales organization for moving too slowly, effectively pinning the blame on them for IBM's (IBM) first quarterly results miss in eight years. Is a public spanking a helpful approach to getting better performance from IBM or any other company?
Disappointing performance happens at all companies, and is an issue that CEOs often face. The underlying question is how CEOs should react when their organization falls short. In IBM's case, its hardware division's sales fell 17% below prior year results, and that amounted to a key cause for the earnings miss. Rometty also reassigned the top executive leading that division, presumably because of the poor results.
In contrast to IBM's $105 billion annual revenues in 2012 (and 434,000 employees), mid-market companies (revenues between $10 million and $1 billion) must deal with poor performance more quickly. Middle market companies tend to have weaker balance sheets, less market momentum than big companies, and are dealing with competition from both small and big companies.
Too often, teams face few consequences for poor performance. In my consulting experience, I have seen three common CEO "cop-outs."
The "shoulder shrug," where the CEO and leadership team barely note the shortfall and go on to set new targets (likely to be missed again).
"Spinning" the news to look positive for employees and investors (arguably to keep the team motivated, or to keep the stock price up).
Closed door discussions among management where there is debate but no new course of action is chosen. This lack of consequence creates an environment that allows -- even encourages -- low performance.
Consistent high performance comes when CEOs actively manage the performance environment. That requires the CEO to be much more than a cheerleader and morale booster. It requires them to make underperformers feel uncomfortable. To Rometty's credit, she did just that last Wednesday. By shining a light on the sub-par performance of the sales team, she exposed them to their peers and in fact, to the world at large. By reassigning the top executive, she showed that she won't tolerate low performance. You can be sure that every executive at IBM took notice, especially the ones with below average performance. She is increasing the performance pressure, and all investors in IBM should be glad.
The truth is, increasing the pressure correlates well with increasing performance -- so long as the top performers don't head for the exits. Big rewards for success are just as important as consequences for failure, and both increase pressure. Having clear, accepted measures of performance are critical too, because without measures, increasing the pressure will create chaos (since people won't be sure what to do to relieve the pressure). Meaning, there is another way to offset pressure. In IBM's case, Rometty made it clear that one measure -- responding to client needs within 24 hours -- is now a priority.
However, did she have to do it publicly? Exposing performance (both good and bad) is critical. If performance isn't measured, or if no-one sees the results, a big element of pressure is missing. In many mid-market companies, exposing performance is best started simply; monthly performance review meetings, where each c-suite executive presents results to their peers. Many such companies also have quarterly all-hands meetings to expose performance to all employees. Typically, increasing pressure through exposure is done incrementally, ratcheting up pressure.
While I am not an IBM insider, I must assume that this was not Rometty's first attempt to make it known that moving faster and being more responsive to customers was needed. I wonder if her messages had not been carried effectively through the management ranks. She chose to go directly to her 434,000 employees and deliver a high impact message. I applaud that she was comfortable making the underperforming team uncomfortable. I don't care if her honest and direct approach made the stock dip -- it will make the company healthier in the mid-term.
Most mid-market companies don't have to go public to step up the pressure. One $60 million revenue engineering services firm increased exposure by having monthly Key Performance Indicator (KPI) review meetings at the c-level, where each executive presented his/her results. Over a four month period, most were doing well, but one executive was lagging. The CEO kicked off a spontaneous brainstorming session at the KPI review meeting focused on helping that executive hit his numbers. Although grateful, he later commented privately, "I never, ever want to be the focus of a discussion like that!" It made him uncomfortable, and he redoubled his efforts to hit his numbers.
One way to avoid having to take dramatic action is to monitor the performance environment closely and to make earlier, incremental adjustments. An Australian firm, Elkiem, developed one such assessment tool that is my favorite.
The CEO must thoughtfully and consistently communicate with their employees. While positive messages are more fun to deliver, there are times when teams need to hear things that make them uncomfortable. It is that perception that they may fall short and suffer consequences that increases pressure, which leads to innovation and higher performance.
Having worked in a corporate environment, I can say with confidence that such "spanking" is a one way street with executives. They, many times, are the true creators of such poor performance. Most notably by putting profits over product integrity, undervaluing competitive strengths; and reacting with slow responses to changing marketing conditions-- they "want to ride the dead horse into the ground as long as it is currently making a profit for them!"--; they create a marketplace that can put the integrity of their sales force into jeopardy. Sales people sell with only the tools that they are given by management; and a very good sales person will not oversell a product nor service for a short term profit, knowing that it is bad for the long term relationship with his customer, even in the face of loss of sale. Corporate executives have no such compunction and frankly, know little of the customer's line of thinking, and more often than not, give such concerns lip service in any event. But, to a one, the corporate executive would never accept any responsibility for the lackluster results that his or her action's or lack there of, created. His thoughts are short term profit and shareholder happiness, even at the expense of long term customer dissatisfaction and defection. The executive is worried about today's numbers and lets tomorrow's be a problem then. His compensation and job longevity are based upon today's business, not necessarily the long term success of the company. That is the reality of today's misguided business world.
I do not know the exact situation at IBM, but given their market share, the pressure of being "IBM", with the corresponding expectations; and the multitude of layers of management involved in decision making, it would be unbelievable to me that they do not fit this description in some major way or another. So, rather than berate the sales force, publicly or otherwise, find out, publicly, why they missed their sales targets-- even, dare I say it,-- that management may have to admit that they had a hand in producing that result!
Only guessing, BUT maybe this was the "last straw" or had to be done..?
Kind of "putting it out there, or theeee sheeeet in the street."
Women do manage, much differently then Men...I am starting to realize that more and more.
I should even know that well, married forever and wife ran/owned,(Pr/CEO) of a small commercial operation..
I believe Ladies have a tendancy to be like a Majestic Snow-capped Mountain.
Keeping feelings and personal vendettas deep in the bowels of their Minds or Psyche.
And when it all comes out, it can be pure evil,death and destruction; Much like Mt. St. Helens.
"Hell hath no fury, like a........"
IBM has a Multi Trillion dollar product - Watson - and they don't seem to know what to do with it !
I would love to have Watson available to my small business - it could advise on everything from marketing to Inventory purchases to sales projections and what products are trending.
It could aide medical professionals with second opinions, Aide governments with all sorts of decisions - the possibilities are endless yet they keep it shelved for lord knows what !
If she had previously communicated her dissatisfaction with the sales staff and there was no result, that's HER fault, and browbeating that staff in public is not going to reassure them that she knows what she's doing. If it was me, the upper management in charge of sales would have been put on private notice that I'd be selecting a new team for their positions if the changes I wanted weren't implemented.
After several meetings, quiet Boardroom advice, then e-mails and other suggestions, along with mild threats...
This may have been a "cheap way" to advertize out to the World...?
For better VPs, Managers and Account Executives...
That may be interested in a Good Job, with an old Company that's going to make Changes.?
Nothing I know would shake-up a "Good Old Boys" Marketing Group quicker.

How does Cisco foster a creative culture of innovation and collaboration inside and outside of the company to differentiate from competitors?
At Cisco, we try not only to lead the way in developing the best technology for collaboration and innovation, but also lead the way in applying that technology to solve everyday challenges in our own organization. One powerful way to drive a culture of innovation and collaboration is to provide employees with the right tools to collaborate, innovate, and invent. We encourage them to explore how to best leverage the tools; and even to take the occasional risk with them, while rewarding those results and findings. For example, we recently launched our new Cisco Quad technology, which grew out of an internal effort, called the Integrated Workforce Experience or IWE, to give our employees a highly customizable, social media platform for collaboration and internal communication.
It's evident to see that Cisco understands the importance of CSR in business practice. To what extent do you feel that your commitment to corporate citizenship impacts your brand?
A key factor of Cisco's success as a business is our reputation as a trustworthy, innovative, and visionary leader. If you want to be perceived a certain way, it's critical that your actions match your words. Our first CEO, John Morgridge, said it best: Doing good is good for business. Our commitment to and investment in strong corporate citizenship is not only a good thing in itself, but directly contributes to a strong and positive brand perception and reputation. Over the past few years, we are seeing that people want to work for, buy from, and invest in companies that act responsibly. But CSR is not just about collecting funds after a quake or hurricane; it's about Cisco people investing in their communities with their own time and expertise. Over the past decade, Cisco employees have volunteered over one million hours of their own time, where they give back by helping to wire new classrooms, supporting hunger relief efforts, and protecting the environment—to create an even stronger community than before.
Cisco continues to demonstrate its commitment to innovate around the convergence of services and networks. Recent acquisitions of AXIOSS software and newScale will no doubt help strengthen the Cisco service across networks. Can you provide us with insight on how you have managed to successfully balance a diverse portfolio of brands?
Although we've acquired many brands over the years, they have all become part of the overall Cisco masterbrand. Our broad and deep portfolio is one of our most significant differentiators, and the key to balancing a diverse portfolio of solutions within our master brands is that all our offerings have one element in common; they are all part of an intelligent network. Together each part of our portfolio, from products to services to software platforms, form a foundation upon which we can help our customers build solutions to tackle their most important business challenges.
What advice do you have for marketers at other companies who are facing similar challenges that you face in keeping ahead of such a fast moving business sector?
While the speed of change continues to increase across many markets and business sectors, the key to success is the same. Stay close to your customers; understand your customers' challenges and opportunities; and show your customers how you can help them be more successful. At Cisco, we are committed to making the intelligent network one of our customers' most important strategic assets.
What other brand(s) do you admire and why?
Starbucks and GE are two very different brands that I admire. Starbucks—because it has successfully transitioned its business through challenges and opportunities and truly reignited its brand. It is one of the best at delivering a consistent customer experience across all of their touchpoints—whether it be the coffee itself, the baristas, their in-store experience or their communications. GE, as it is one of the few companies that has successfully balanced an incredibly broad and diverse portfolio of offerings under a single brand with a single brand vision.
Blair Christie is the Chief Marketing and Communications Officer for Cisco, with responsibility for the company's Global Marketing, Corporate Communications, and Government Affairs groups. Previous to this appointment, she was Senior Vice President of Global Corporate Communications, focused on shaping the company's reputation and perception. Her responsibilities included leadership of Cisco's global investor relations, public and media relations, industry analyst relations, and employee and executive communications. She also managed Cisco's global studios and Web 2.0/collaboration technology strategy teams, rounding out an organization designed to integrate the message and the medium in communications. She is an executive sponsor for Cisco's Communication and Collaboration Board, the cross-functional team responsible for guiding the deployment of Web 2.0 and social networking technologies throughout Cisco.

That didnt go as planned. In a Game 4 that could have pushed the Miami Heat back into contention and evened the series at 2-2, it was the San Antonio Spurs who managed to keep the train rolling. Miami meanwhile, struggled in almost every aspect of the game. the final score, 107-86, indicates its San Antonio that has managed to find the key to the kingdom of an NBA Championship. The series isnt over and the Miami Heat are a resilient bunch, but now must win out, including two games on the road, to clinch a third NBA Championship..
Miami heat won two NBA Champions 2012 and 2013. Watch the Heat play at the American Airlines Arena and see them win the NBA Championship again in 2014. They are a very strong team and all games will be sold out quickly. Let Miami Heat tickets be the place for top seats to see all Heat games for 2014. Tickets are selling now for the NBA games.
LeBron James takes a stolid view of the matter. Youre always on edge in the postseason, but I dont want to be concerned at this point. For us, we have to make the adjustments.
Yes they do. The Miami Heat must play more aggressively and more effectively on defense. The Miami Heat must sustain rallies. Chris Bosh has to produce points.
You have to learn from it, move on, said Erik Spoelstra. Yes you do and I suspect the Miami Heat will do just that. If not, theyll be facing the unthinkable: Going into San Antonio with absolutely no room to spare.
What happened on Thursday was Thursday, James said, after winning a game that reproduces the same scenario from last season where Miami dropped the opener and recovered to grab a crucial win on the home court of the Spurs. My whole focus was how I was going to try to help this team even this up and just try to make some plays.
Another crucial event? Tony Parker and Tim Duncan missing free throws, four of them back to back, that denied the Spurs the opportunity to push their lead to six. Spurs coach Gregg Popovich said, We didnt take advantage of things. That lack of execution cost the Spurs the chance to make this a 2-0 series. They now must travel to American Airlines Arena where the Miami Heat have always played their best basketball. San Antonio faces a two-time NBA Champion and a hostile crowd for Game 3.
If the Spurs caught a break with James being out in Game 1 they cant depend on that anymore. LeBron James played this game like a man with something to prove and he will now be on his own turf with a chance at writing his legacy. The rest of the Miami Heat must play well but they also know where their bread is buttered. Dwyane Wade said it all. Obviously, having No. 6 in the game at the end was a plus for us.
The 2013 NBA Finals was the championship series of the 2012–13 NBA season and the conclusion of the season's playoffs. The Eastern Conference champion Miami Heat defeated the Western Conference champion San Antonio Spurs to win their second straight title. The Finals began with Game 1 on June 6, and ended with Game 7 on June 20.
Miami became the 6th team to win consecutive NBA Championships, joining the Boston Celtics , the Los Angeles Lakers, the Detroit Pistons, the Chicago Bulls and the Houston Rockets in doing so. This series marked the fifth time the Spurs have made the NBA Finals since 1999, second-most for any franchise in that span behind the Los Angeles Lakers. The Spurs had won all of their previous four finals appearances, putting them only behind the six-time champion Chicago Bulls for most titles without ever losing a Finals, making this series the first Finals loss in Spurs history. This series was also the first time San Antonio had played in the NBA Finals without home court advantage, as Miami had home-court advantage based on their league-best regular season record. It was the Heat's third consecutive NBA Finals appearance, the first Eastern Conference team to achieve that since the Chicago Bulls (1996–1998).

Miami Heat Tickets – The Big Three
Suddenly, Miami Heat tickets are the center of attention in the NBA. It's not a surprise. The Heat managed to turn around their fortunes last season with a healthy Dwyane Wade. But make no mistake, this is an entirely new Miami Heat roster, one that will bear little resemblance to the version that ran the court in the American Airlines Center last season. The big question facing Miami Heat ticket holders is how Pat Riley will fill out the roster now that he's got the three biggest, and most expensive cornerstones in the NBA. Once thing for sure, it's going to be an interesting season in Miami. Let's take a look at the three guys Riley is banking on.
Dwyane Wade
Dwyane Wade came into the NBA with a splash and hasn't let up. Drafted #5, Wade made an immediate impact on the court. In only three seasons Wade matured enough to give the Miami Heat an NBA Championship, playing at an All Star level. Outside of the NBA, Wade was the leading scorer on an American team that took home a gold medal in the Olympics. But it hasn't always been easy. Knee problems in 2007-08 kept Wade out for an extended time, and derailed the Miami Heat. Fully healthy now, and coupled with Chris Bosh and LeBron James, Dwyane Wade is part of another dream team.
Chris Bosh
Chris Bosh – After seven seasons with the Raptors Chris Bosh knew it was time for a change. Winning All Star honors, leading the Raptors to a playoff berth, and becoming the all time Raptors leader in points and most offensive categories wasn't enough. While his time in Toronto molded Bosh into a team leader and major NBA star, a chance at an NBA Championship was nowhere in sight. So Bosh has traded the Toronto winter for the Miami Heat. Now he'll get a chance at the prize, under the guidance of Pat Riley and alongside LeBron James and Dwyane Wade.
LeBron James
LeBron James – The final, and what some say the biggest, piece in the Miami Heat puzzle is now LeBron James. Considered by many the best player in the NBA, James brings huge talent to the Miami Heat. Two NBA MVP awards, a regular spot on the All Star roster, and an Olympic Gold medal have put LeBron James into the NFL elite. While his time in Cleveland was successful on a personal level, LeBron James is now focused on winning an NBA Championship. It looks like he picked the right place. Oddsmakers have elevated the Miami Heat into NBA favorites, betting on the terrific trio to put Miami back on top.

Concordia Historical Institute (CHI) is excited to invite you to the public opening of its museum exhibit Bringing Christ to the Highlands on Sunday, October 5.

A special worship service, hosted by the Papua New Guinea Mission Society, will be held in the chapel of Concordia Seminary at 2:00 PM. The exhibit at CHI will open at 3:15 PM and be available until 5:30 PM. CHI is located on the seminary campus at 804 Seminary Place, St. Louis, MO 63105.

The Summer 2014 issue of the CHI membership newsletter, Historical Footnotes, observes the 250th anniversary of the founding of Saint Louis by taking a look at the city through the eyes of Professor Ludwig Fuerbringer as a student and later professor and president of Concordia Seminary. Future issues of the newsletter will feature other articles about the city and the Missouri Synod's history with it.
This issue also includes a translation of a manuscript by C. F. W. Walther on the importance of English missions and an interesting discovery of 19th century "photobombing" in a photograph from the campus of Concordia College in Fort Wayne, Indiana.
The Summer 2014 issue of the Concordia Historical Institute Quarterly (Vol. 87, No. 2) continues an emphasis on LCMS mission work.
Christopher Vossler's biographical sketch of Frederick Brand, who served as the first full-time synodical foreign mission executive, concludes with "Missions in Missouri: The Story of Frederick Brand (Part II)."
In the latter part of the 19th century and early in the 20th the Synod engaged in mission work directed toward various European ethnic immigrant groups. Work with Polish Lutherans is chronicled by Thomas L. Hollowak in "God Directs—We Follow Divine Guidance: The First Polish Evangelical Lutheran Congregation of Christ the Lord, Dundalk, Maryland." Pictured on the cover of this issue is Pastor Ferdinand Sattelmeier, who was instrumental in establishing the congregation.
Rounding out this issue is LCMS President Matthew Harrison's sermon for the installation of the Rev. Dr. Daniel Harmelink as executive director of the Institute and a review of Broken Parts Missing Pieces, an autobiographical account of the life and work of Don Johnson, executive director of Lutheran Indian Ministries for the LCMS.
The Quarterly is sent to all members of the Institute. It is available as a subscription only without membership for $40.00 per year. Single copies are $10.00 for issues published during the past three years and $3.00 for earlier issues. Shipping and handling are extra for back issues.
