Robert Driggers becomes business development manager for the newly formed North American Brand Risk Group. In his new role, Driggers will manage TÜV Rheinland's proprietary Product Authentication and Control System (PACS) for North American customers.
Boston, MA— August 12, 2011 — TÜV Rheinland has announced Robert (Bob) Driggers' appointment as Business Development Manager for the newly formed North American Brand Risk Group. In his new role, Driggers will manage TÜV Rheinland's proprietary Product Authentication and Control System (PACS) for North American customers.
TÜV Rheinland's PACS is a patented control and authentication program that can track, trace and instantly authenticate a product no matter where it is throughout its distribution channel. This online mass-serialization platform is accessible via handheld scanners, desktop or laptop computers and many of today's smart phones. It may be used by the brand owners as well as original equipment, private labeling and contract manufacturers, logistic providers, customs officials, and even consumers to verify product authenticity.
"The size and scope of the worldwide counterfeit problem is so large that one has difficulty even guessing at how large it is," said Driggers. "We know that US Customs made nearly 20,000 seizures of counterfeit products last year, worth an estimated $1.4 billion at legitimate MSRPs. What we don't know is the worth of the fake products that got through. Our new program is designed to give control of brand back to its rightful owner, its agents, government officials and ultimately, the consumer."
TÜV Rheinland's PACS revolves around 12-to-16-digit randomly generated alphanumeric codes that are integrated into existing labeling technology and production methods. Each marked product can be viewed in minute detail, including verification date, time, mode, location and other customer specified data, and the system allows for hierarchal coding, allowing products to be verified down to its production time, country of origin, transit information and others.
"While this system has been designed to battle counterfeiting, it also allows for direct communication between the manufacturer and the consumer, which can provide great benefits with regard to warranty claims or product recalls," said Driggers.
While product counterfeiting can be a problem for a wide variety of product types, it can be a particular problem for pharmaceuticals, where counterfeit drugs can put people's lives in jeopardy. Other products that are frequently counterfeited include footwear and apparel, consumer electronics, computers and hardware, toys and video games, entertainment media, luxury items and others.
Prior to joining TÜV Rheinland, Driggers served as CEO of Authenitrace LLC in Acworth, Georgia. Before that he was the CEO of Compton Tape and Label of Madison, North Carolina and as southwest sales manager for Acucote, Inc. in Graham, North Carolina, where he helped develop the company's anti-counterfeit/product authentication product lines. He began his career in 1981 with the Coca-Cola Bottling Company in Burlington, North Carolina. Driggers is a frequent lecturer on the subject of traceability. He earned his bachelors of science in International Business from High Point University in High Point, North Carolina.

I was channel-flipping this afternoon and I saw an Eggo waffles ad — some animated dad trying to steal a waffle from his own adorable daughter in various Tom-and-Jerry-ish ways. Apparently, the only way dad gets waffles in that household is through burglary. He can't just wait his turn for the waffle-box and toast his own waffle. No, he has to commit Grand Theft Waffle.
As I remember it, breakfast used to be about family togetherness and unity before the stresses of the day. Not anymore, though. Breakfast isn't just breakfast anymore. Breakfast is an every-man-for-himself, free-for-all of a contest. It's Breakfast Melee!
I started thinking about it and I realized there's a definite trend. Cookie Crisp? Chip the Wolf goes to insane lengths to try to steal cereal from kids. Trix? Silly Rabbit goes to insane lengths to try to steal cereal from kids. Lucky Charms? Lucky the Leprechaun goes to insane lengths to try to stop kids from stealing his cereal.
Personally, I always watched that poor, sad Trix rabbit and wondered why he didn't get a job as the Easter Bunny and buy himself his own box of fruity corn puffs.
What a strange phenomenon is the daily breakfast deathmatch. This morning, in the Kitch-Arena (rena-rena-ena) it's Mom v. Dad (dad-ad-ad) for a plate of bacon and eggs (eggs-ggs-ggs)! Loser has to eat oatmeal (oatmeal-atmeal-atmeal).
I don't know about everyone else out there, but breakfast was never such an end-all, be-all meal for me. In the morning I'm more likely to make a sandwich or re-heat lasagna than pour a bowl of cereal. My whole family is the same way. We made normal breakfast foods on holidays or special occasions, and that's about it. Maybe that's why I don't get this phenomenon. The daily bacon-and-eggs death match wasn't a part of my childhood.
Perhaps this trend is a result of the fixation America tends to have with food. Breakfast isn't just a meal anymore – it's a goal! Breakfast is the ultimate reward! Breakfast is worth stealing for! Oppressing rabbits for! Endlessly stalking tiny green men for!
If breakfast is not a contest, then it is the result of an epic quest. A Cheerios box is placed golden-idol style at the end of a booby-trapped tomb that would make Indiana Jones call in sick. Toucan Sam and his little bird companions sail the high seas endlessly seeking cereal. It's breakfast as Holy Grail.
Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe people who truly love breakfast food and who tend to make pancakes for dinner are willing to run gauntlets, sail seas, and harass leprechauns all for the love of cereal. I certainly wouldn't, and I doubt I'd do it for a hamburger either or a slice of pizza. Leprechauns deserve their privacy too, you know.
I can't wait to see how this trend continues to evolve and play out over the years. In the future, Olympic game winners won't get their face on a box of Wheaties anymore. Instead, they'll get a box of Wheaties. Huzzah!Powered by Sidelines

The overall goals ofthe Administrative Core are to provide leadership and the organizational backbone for this proposal, promote collaboration between the projects and cores, and coordinate interactions with external entities such as the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). To accomplish these goals, we propose specific tasks listed below. Specific Task 1: To facilitate communication among Projects 1-3 and Cores A and B and to assist all projects in manuscript preparation and submission as well as assist scientists in registering manuscripts on PubMed Central. Specific Task 2: To provide mechanisms for communication between the University of Wisconsin, NHLBI, and internal and external project reviewers. Specific Task 3: To provide regulatory support to all projects and cores through interactions with the University of Wisconsin Health Sciences Institution Review Board (IRB) and the FDA. The Administrative Core will interact with all projects and cores in this proposal through organization, notification, and distribution of meeting minutes of monthly internal project review meetings. The Administrative Core will oversee the rate of subject accrual to ensure that each project is able to meet its required sample size. The core will be responsible for preparation and submission of annual progress reports to the Institute and will organize external and internal reviews as needed. Finally, the core will work with the FDA with regard to an Investigational New Drug (IND) application for the proposed use of segmental bronchoprovocation with allergen using house dust mite, cat, or ragweed allergen.
The overall objective of this core is to provide administrative support for the entire program project grant. By providing this support, each project and remaining core can focus on completing research for their proposed scientific questions to meet the overall goal of this grant.

Thanks for helping!
this place has the worst hamburger I have ever had! tasted reheated and I could barely chew the thing . The patty on this burger was rubbery . on a good note the fries was good.
probably my favorite "everyday" hotdogs put there. also have good pork BBQs. I can eat here every day if I could afford to eat out all the time
Hot dogs and fries were really good. They have a ton of different combinations of milkshakes you can order but they aren't on the menu. You have to ask. I got chocolate and banana and it was really filling. The prices were unbelievably cheap. I thought the hamburger was just ok. I would skip next time.
Best Root Beer and fries ever. The hot dogs are good too, but the BBQ are the best i think. Rootbeer is the best thiing to get there
I am always happy to eat here. The service is fantastic and the food never disappoints. The restaurant has been in this very location for a very long time. This is what a real "drive in" should be. Makes me think of simpler, happier, easy going times.
This place is amazing! We went there last Friday night & loved it so much that we went back again, after the Marshall Football game, on Saturday. The root beer floats are to die for. Definitely get a frosty mug. We had the chili cheese fries, chili dogs, burgers and all were excellent. Fast, fun & friendly service. We even...
Needed to stop for lunch on the way from North Carolina to Kentucky and Huntington came just at the right moment. No frills, old school drive in, though we ate at one of the tables outside. We had chili dogs with slaw and crinkle cut fries. These are not footlong hotdogs, so if you're particularly hungry get 2 or 3....
I had some time to kill before I had to be somewhere so stopped by for a quick bite. I had some coupons so I got a couple Hotdogs and 2 drinks for less than 4 bucks!! This is great! Food was fresh and hot. The root beer has a nice vanilla flavor in it as well. The service was...
It's not gourmet fare. You show up expecting a couple of hot dogs and a root beer. Nothing more. But, the hot dogs are iconic and the root beer is delicious. Get it in the frosted mug, not over ice.
I make sure to try any and all rootbeer floats I can and this one is deff one of the best! The people are nice the ice cream is soft and just sweet enough. The root beer is amazing. My husband got the peanut butter shake and omg it was awesome real peanut butter used. Deff a treat!

Microsoft issues update for Office 2008 for Mac
Microsoft has released Office 2008 12.0.1 for Mac OS X, a new update to the productivity suite that fixes vulnerabilities in Office 2008 that an attacker can use to overwrite the contents of your computer's memory with malicious code. The new release also fixes an issue that could give a local user who does not have administrator permissions access Office 2008 program files. This issue occurs when the non-administrative user account was assigned User ID (uid) 502. This issue affects only computers that have more than one local user account, and primarily affects environments, such as public computer labs and workplace networks, where access to program files is restricted.
Optimus mini three to get touchscreen, wireless
A version of the Optimius mini three input pad with touch input and a wireless link is in development, Art Lebedev says in an update for his self-titled studio. While still in the early planning stages, the new device would move from use of three, isolated OLED keys to just a single touchscreen. The advancement would not only make the devices simpler but potentially allow for more than three input zones or screens depending on the design, the Moscow designer adds.
France helps fund Google competitor
The European Commission has approved the contribution of �99 million in French funding to a potential Google competitor, writes Agence France-Presse. The Quaero search engine project represents a collaboration between 23 different companies, including France's Thomson; it has not, however, so far found enough funding to get started, as its costs in the next five years are projected to be �199 million. The Commission itself has expressed doubts about Quaero, saying it "is not spontaneously underpinned by the market owing to divergent interests within the consortium and to uncertainties regarding the project's chances of success."
gogo in-air Internet due soon with iPhone plans
The first full in-flight Internet access since the end of Boeing's Connexion service is coming in the spring, according to a GigaOM report. Now titled gogo, the service developed by AirCell will allow browsing and other common Internet tasks over a modified version of a EVDO Revision A cellular connection (used by Sprint and Verizon) to supply a 3Mbps Internet link shared by the whole cabin through Wi-Fi. By compressing the data sent across the network, each user gets a connection closer to 2Mbps, gogo claims.
Google makes DoubleClick deal official
As a result of having received approval from the European Commission, Google is now formally announcing the completion of its acquisition of DoubleClick. The deal, worth $3.1 billion, will make the combined company the largest web advertiser in the world, beating even the combination of Microsoft and aQuantive. Google says it is now beginning to establish practical plans for the absorption of DoubleClick, which should be fully executed "by early April."
WiebeTech offers RTX Dual-Bay RAID
WiebeTech has announced the RTX200H-QR, a new RAID hard drive solution featuring RAID 0/1 for two drives in TrayFree bays. The TrayFree technology doesn't force the user to install hard drives into trays -- you can imply slide in a SATA drive and shut the door. The RTX200H-QR is compatible with four different interfaces: eSATA, FireWire 800, FireWire 400 (via included converter cable) and USB2. The new new metal bays also have two LEDs for power and access. Bays are lockable for added security. Hardware RAID 1 offers best possible protection of data by mirroring the drives in real time. Hot-swappable bays allow the user to remove and replace failed drives without shutting down the system. The new unit is priced at $500.
Nortel claims to quadruple telecom bandwidth
Canada's Nortel is deploying a new network technology, one which it claims will at least quadruple the current bandwidth of most telecom companies. Reuters notes that while most companies are able to handle 10Gbps on their networks -- enough for 1,000 HDTV channels -- Nortel's new optical scheme supports as much as 40Gbps, without dramatic upgrades to a network. With enough investment, Nortel suggests, companies may be able to boost throughput to 100Gbps.
InFocus unveils 1080p-capable IN83 projector
InFocus unveiled its flagship home cinema projector Tuesday, the IN83, capable of reproducing full HD sources on screens or wall up to nearly 17 feet high.

Acer to roll out new notebook concept tomorrow
Acer will reveal a new concept design for a notebook PC tomorrow, the company has announced today. The computer builder is short on details but says the debut will represent a "worldwide launch" for the new style, suggesting a major update rather than a minor change to an existing design. The introduction is likely to involve the company's new 16- and 18.5-inch media notebooks, both of which will include extra-wide 1080p displays as well as a Blu-ray drive.
Intel CPU leak pushes Air sequel to Sept.?
Despite Intel's aggressive plans to roll out its Centrino 2 mobile platform in June, the company is now set to push back processors suitable for the MacBook Air and for gaming notebooks by as much as three months, a leaked roadmap shows. Contrary to some early expectations, the June release will only focus on processors for the most common notebooks. Two high-performance Core 2 Duo chips at 2.53GHz and 2.8GHz will consume the same 35 watts of power as most current processors; three power-optimized processors at 2.26GHz, 2.4GHz, and 2.53Ghz will be more efficient at 25 watts but share most of the same features as their more demanding siblings, with only a reduction from 6MB to 3MB of Level 2 cache affecting the bottom two models.
iPod nano overheats, sparks in Japan
The Japanese industry ministry is reportedly investigating an incident in which an iPod Nano "overheated and discharged sparks." Reuters quotes the ministry "The battery part of the product overheated while being charged and sparked," Apple's iPod safety manual states "When you're using iPod or charging the battery, it is normal for iPod to get warm. The exterior of iPod functions a a cooling surface that transfers heat from inside the unit to the cooler air outside." As such, iPods have been known to overheat when placed in cases that do no allow adequate ventilation.
Sanyo debuts 'small and light' XW60 projector
Sanyo has debuted a new business projector, the LP-XW60. The system is described as one of the "smallest and lightest" of its type, having such little weight that it can easily be carried with one hand. It is also designed to be easy to set up, with an automatic keystone feature that adjusts the projector's alignment on uneven surfaces. Images can be anywhere from 40 to 300 inches in size, requiring distances from a screen between 3.6 and 32.9 feet.
Wal-Mart drops Everex Linux OS PCs from stores
Wal-Mart will not restock its shelves with the Everex Green gPC or any of its successors, most of which run the Linux-based gOS operating system, the mega chain announced Monday. Citing lack of interest from customers, the store will continue offering the Linux-based gPC, its successor the gPC2, and the Everex CloudBook laptop on its website but will phase out the product from its retail locations. Buyers in this area are simply not asking for this kind of computer, the company says.
Motorola Kodak phone, new music slider revealed?
Several Motorola phone updates may have been revealed prematurely through a YouTube video, according to reports. The clip appears to be an official promotional video, which while focusing heavily on "lifestyle" images and marketing buzzwords, also depicts several phones not already on sale. Among these is a phone making a reference to the company's collaboration with Kodak, which first bore fruit with the camera on the ROKR E8. The new device may be an anticipated five-megapixel cameraphone.
ReceiptWallet 2.0 adds cataloging
GGT Enterprises has announced the release of ReceiptWallet 2.0, an upgrade to the company's receipt and document management application for Mac OS X.

Web or email-based receipts can be saved as PDF files from any Mac application and automatically sent to ReceiptWallet using the Print command. In addition, ReceiptWallet has support for the popular Fujitsu ScanSnap scanner.
Apple works to trademark 'thinnovation'
Apple has filed for a new trademark with the European Trademark Office, simply entitled Thinnovation. Apple has been using the term in slogans ever since it revealed the MacBook Air on January 15th, inserting it primarily into web and print advertising. These uses are the focus of the International Classifications in the trademark filing; the trademark would also apply to installation and maintenance, as well as educational and training purposes.

Europe greenlights Google's DoubleClick deal
The European Commission today fully approved Google's proposed buyout of DoubleClick, all but ensuring the completion of the unprecedented move. The acquisition has been previously approved by the US Federal Trade Commission and received its blessing from the European agency in the belief that a combined Google/DoubleClick entity would not block out competing ad networks. As neither company has directly fought for similar business, the union of the two companies also won't create a monopoly, the Commission argues.
PocketMac GoBetween adds Entourage
PocketMac has launched two new versions of its GoBetween sync software, for Microsoft's Entourage 2004 and 2008. GoBetween is used to improve on the support of Apple's iSync software, which does not always properly support all software and devices. The newest versions of GoBetween ensure that contact, calendar and task information is properly transferred from Entourage to iCal and Address Book, and from there to iSync and whatever devices may be connected.
MS intros Aero-styled keyboard packs
Microsoft today hoped to translate the visuals of Windows Vista into a new pair of keyboard and mouse sets. Though they work with most any USB-equipped computer, the Wireless Laser Desktop 7000 (shown) and wired Digital Media Keyboard 3000 are styled after the Aero Glass interface found in Microsoft's own operating system and incorporate shortcuts designed for the platform. The 7000 includes shortcut keys for Favorites in Vista on the ergonomic keyboard itself along with a Wireless Laser Mouse 7000 that has a button usable for task switching through Flip 3D (also reusable in other operating systems).
Hulu going public, adds Warner Bros, sports
The Fox and NBC-Universal joint project Hulu will leave its private beta stage tomorrow, the companies revealed on Tuesday. The web-based service will soon allow all US residents with high-speed Internet access to stream TV shows and movies over Flash for free through dynamic ads that appear at key segments; in a new version, users can even pick which ads they see, Hulu's operators note. On its official debut, the service will also add TV shows produced by Warner Bros. and will have both NBA and NHL highlight reels as well as full-length historical NCAA basketball games.
Apple updates Shuffle, MacBook Air software
Apple has released software updates for two of its most recent products. MacBook Air owners now have access to the SMC Update 1.0 package, which according to Apple "fine tunes the speed and operation of the internal fan." The software installs to the "Applications/Utilities" folder, and is a 551KB download that requires Mac OS X 10.5.1 or later. iPod shuffle owners can meanwhile download the v1.0.4 firmware patch, which delivers "enhanced support" for the new 2GB Shuffle, as well as unspecified bug fixes.
Symantec ships AntiVirus Dual Protection
Symantec has released a new anti-virus suite, AntiVirus Dual Protection. The package actually contains two pieces of software -- AntiVirus 11 for Mac and AntiVirus 2008 for Windows -- and is intended for owners of Intel Macs, who may use the Boot Camp feature of Mac OS X Leopard to run Windows XP or Vista on a separate partition. Each application is tailored to the specifics of its platform, requiring the two versions.
AUO demos 16:9 ratio, 24-inch HD monitor
Taiwan display maker AU Optronics today revealed what it says is the world's first truly wide-aspect, full HD 24-inch flat-panel display. The LCD adopts the same 16:9 ratio of many HDTVs and is capable of a native 1080p resolution. While shorter than the 1920x1200 resolution of existing 24-inch computer screens, the wider display makes it better-suited to widescreen movies with the image filling more of the available space. The new design is also half as thick as the taller displays: where a conventional display would measure 1.38 inches deep, the new implementation is just 0.55 inches. Combined with a narrow bezel, this allows a same-size display in a much smaller space.
SanDisk's Sansa Fuze official, tackles nano
SanDisk this morning quickly ended leaks by releasing the Sansa Fuze, the company's particular take on the same small, widescreen player formula as the third-generation iPod nano. Much shorter than the Sansa View, the Fuze has a small 1.9-inch screen but still includes a full jog wheel and the newer music and video playback features, effectively replacing the outgoing E200 series. In contrast to most devices in the category, however, it also sports a microSDHC slot: users can add as much as 8GB or more to the storage of their existing player if they run out of space or want a permanently rotating collection of music.
Apple yet to order flash memory in 2008?
Apple is sending worrying signs that it hasn't ordered any significant amounts of the NAND flash memory it needs, say some of its Asian manufacturers. Although the company bought as much as $1.3 billion in memory over 2007, it hasn't started large orders since 2008 began and is effectively forcing its suppliers to sell flash below cost due to oversupply. Even the MacBook Air, which needs a large 64GB of memory for its solid-state drive, isn't enough to help clear stock due to its high price and low volume, according to the reports.
First Look: Bling! It image enhancement
To sell items on auction sites like eBay, you need to show others what you�re selling. Take a good picture of the most run-down item and it can still attract buyers. Take a lousy picture of the most valuable item and the picture alone can turn off potential buyers. To increase your chances of attracting buyers and making a sale, take the best pictures possible. If your pictures still look drab and dull, spice them up with Bling! It.

Cirrus creates Lightning-headphone dev kit
Apple supplier Cirrus Logic has introduced a MFi-compliant new development kit for companies interested in using Cirrus' chips to create Lightning-based headphones, which -- regardless of whether rumors about Apple dropping the analog headphone jack in its iPhone this fall -- can offer advantages to music-loving iOS device users. The kit mentions some of the advantages of an all-digital headset or headphone connector, including higher-bitrate support, a more customizable experience, and support for power and data transfer into headphone hardware. Several companies already make Lightning headphones, and Apple has supported the concept since June 2014. http://bit.ly/29giiZj

The luxury sedan starts at $99,900 for the 4S model, and scales up to the Panamera Turbo, which sells for $146,900. Other vehicles that currently support CarPlay include the 2016 911 and the 2017 models of Macan, 718 Boxster, and 718 Cayman. The company did not mention support for Google's corresponding Android Auto in its announcement. http://bit.ly/295ZQ94
Apple employees testing wheelchair features
New features included in the forthcoming watchOS 3 are being tested by Apple retail store employees, including a new activity-tracking feature that has been designed with wheelchair users in mind. The move is slightly unusual in that, while retail employees have previously been used to test pre-release versions of OS X and iOS, this marks the first time they've been included in the otherwise developer-only watchOS betas. The company is said to have gone to great lengths to modify the activity tracker for wheelchair users, including changing the "time to stand" notification to "time to roll" and including two wheelchair-centric workout apps. http://bit.ly/2955JDa

Hidden Risks at your Waste Management Facility
Think there's room for improvement in risk management at your waste management facility?
IMC has developed a Video Analytic system for coal trains. The system was implemented to reduce the number of operators required to simultaneously monitor the unloading process. A single operator is able to simultaneously monitor several unloading streams and the system can automatically alert the operator in the event of a coal hang-up.

The amount of data available to organizations to analyze and use in decision making is exploding. "Big Data" is all the rage and organizations of every size from every industry are struggling to make valuable use of the information available from their operational systems, business partners, and social networks. Organizations, seeking to respond quickly in an ever-changing marketplace, are hungry for current and useful information about their ecosystems. Data Warehousing and Business Intelligence (DW/BI) teams are working as fast and hard as they can to meet this ever-increasing demand with limited resources and time. Fortunately, DW/BI teams who embrace an "agile" approach are finding they can meet the top priority needs in short time frames Read more

Does Agile = Better DW/BI?
Welcome Aboard, Murray!
In a recent post I reflected on a 'built-in' benefit of my job, as follows: One of the pleasures of being practice director is that I get to know and be known to fascinating folks that I might not otherwise have had the opportunity to meet and build a relationship with. If another proof for my reflection was needed, this post welcoming Dr. Murray Cantor is as hard a proof as they come. Here is a researcher and author whose originality and rigor are second to none, and I have the privilege and pleasure of writing about his joining Cutter as a Contributing Expert! I would hate to steal Murray's thunder, but would allow myself to hint Read more
Sociocultural Aspects of Software Projects
The desire to be agile has long impacted human behavior. Consider the elite athlete, the army general, the opera singer, the belly dancer, the professional golfer, the heavyweight boxer, the high seas sailor, the commercial pilot, the top-end banker, and even the federal politician — they all love agility, and so do we. Why? Put simply, agility provides the basis for adaptability and change which, in turn, are integral to our survival and growth. The same agility that enables a springbok to outrun a lion or an ant to carry a load more than 20 times its size allows a small start-up in Southern California to prevail against the might of a large, well-established brick-and-mortar Read more
Welcome Aboard, Lynn!
How appropriate it is that Lynn Winterboer is joining Cutter just about at the time that we publish the Cutter Benchmark Review on Achieving an Agile Organizational Mind. With Lynn on board, we have another heavy hitter who applies the values, methods and practices of 'traditional' Agile to data, data warehousing, and business intelligence. The importance of so doing in the era of big data can't be overstated. Just about every Cutter client I meet is struggling to extract meaning from the data he/she possesses. Needless to say, extracting meaning in an Agile manner constitutes an important competitive capability. Between the 'old hands' in the practice and the recent additions of Professor Giancarlo Succi, Sue Read more
The Lean Systems Society Reactor 2013 Conference Next Week (September 11-12, 2013)
Let me start with full disclosure: A) I am a fellow of the Lean Systems Society; and, B) I will be attending the conference. Obviously, I am a little biased. This very natural bias notwithstanding, if you find my blog posts (click here and here) of interest, I am fairly certain you will have a ball in the conference. Moreover, I believe you will step out of the conference with a few actionable insights that might surprise you. The #1 problem most of my clients are struggling with these days is complexity; #2 is that they are expected to solve the complexity problem through best practices: #3 is that I tell them something like Read more
Welcome Aboard, Sue and Tom!
It is my profound pleasure to welcome Sue McKinney and Tom Grant to the Cutter family and to the Agile practice. I am really excited about the expertise they bring to the practice and the opportunity to work with them in person. I first met Sue some five or six years ago in an APLN conference in which she presented her experience teaching the IBM elephant to dance to the rhythm of Agile. My overarching impression from the presentation was "Wow, this lady has fire in her belly!" This impression of mine grew stronger and stronger over the years as I became more familiar with her large scale transformative work at both IBM and Pitney Read more
Technical Debt in the Era of Transient Competitive Advantage
A situation that I and various consultants in the Cutter Agile Practice are often exposed to is a pressing need to reduce technical debt. A prospect calls with respect to some software assets that have ceased to perform adequately. What we almost invariably find once we do the Technical Debt Assessment is that over time the client's codebase got both bloated and spaghetti-like. As a result, the client is struggling with 10M, 20M or 50M lines of tangled code. The combination of size with "spaghetti tangles" renders it hard to effectively adapt the software as in such code even changing/adding a single line of code could require significant integration and regression efforts. The situation is Read more
Coherence of Vision
In my recent blog post Choosing Your Point of Organizational Incoherence, I stressed the importance of making a choice on how to deal with systemic incoherence that is beyond your control as a CIO or a CTO. Technology, economy and society are not likely to be aligned anytime soon; emphasis on maximizing shareholders value might make it impossible for you to make certain strategic investments; and, unrealistic expectations about predictability of the software development process might make you want to tear your hair out. True and painful that these three factors and possibly many others might be, you can't just sit on your hands waiting for all the moons to be aligned. You have to Read more
Choosing Your Point of Organizational Incoherence
Much has been written, presented and debated in the past few years on the "right way" for executives and policy makers to reinvigorate companies, markets and economies. The distinguished scholar Carlota Perez suggests fundamental changes to the way growth and prosperity get measured. Along somewhat similar lines, Steven Denning focuses on the damage inflicted through adherence to the tenet of maximizing shareholder's value. Gary Hammel, elaborating on another thread that Perez touches on, advocates values over value. Last but not the least, Hagel, Brown and Davison emphasize the power of pull for both designing the right system and designing the system right [i]. While the debate spans some topics that are clearly beyond the scope Read more
Making an Agile IT Strategy
An agile enterprise is a flexible, robust organization that is capable of rapid response to unexpected challenges, events, and opportunities. Agile enterprises achieve continuous competitive advantage in serving their customers by following strategies that facilitate speed and change. Enablers of enterprise agility include diffused authority; flat organizational structures; trust-based relationships with customers and suppliers; and, of course, an agile information technology strategy. In this post, I focus on what it takes to have an agile IT strategy. IT departments that are truly agile, or are at least on the path to becoming so, exhibit several key characteristics. First, the majority of their project teams are taking an agile approach to the full delivery lifecycle. This Read more

The state Legislature quickly passed a similar measure that reimburses school districts for the cost of reducing class size to 20 students per teacher for kindergarten through second-grade classes. (On average, there were more than 30 students per teacher in those grades in San Francisco.)
The move to reduce class sizes was hailed by many educators as the best thing to happen to public schools since the introduction of hot lunches. Smaller classes mean more attention from teachers, more repetition for children, more opportunity for learning.
But the class-size revolution also created a crisis in San Francisco. Reducing class sizes requires more classrooms, and the San Francisco Unified School District is out of space and out of money to build more schools. There are already portable classrooms on playgrounds and in a variety of other bizarre locations all over the city.
And even as class sizes are reduced, the San Francisco school district must continue to follow federal court mandates on the ethnic makeup of its student population. Without money to build more classrooms and hire more teachers, the move toward smaller class sizes will -- perversely -- force ever more children into a cross-town busing program that has, by most objective measures, degraded the education of children.
In an attempt to deal with the double dilemma of class size and desegregation, the school district will ask voters in June to approve a $90 million bond issue that would build and renovate classrooms and assuage other physical ills of the district.
The school bond program is on the same ballot as a $100 million bond measure that would help the San Francisco 49ers build a massive new stadium in Bayview-Hunters Point. The stadium has captured the attention of the city's movers and shakers, from Mayor Willie Brown to the major media punditocracy. The school bond issue has gone virtually unremarked.

It happens to me from time to time. I realize I've waited too long. I pretend to turn the blind eye. Before I know it. I've lost sight of it all, even though it was there all along. Finger on the trigger. I've steadied my sights. Could be the easiest shot of my life, but I'm not gonna do anything about it. You know... it makes me sick. The symphony's playing on time. Everything's quiet and perfect and cool. the Maestro is wasting his time. Tonight though, the notes just aren't getting along. I'm not going out. I gotta work in the morning; these excuses I make. I'm the king of etc. etc. That's just not really me. I plead to change and succeed (not really).

After you design your remote control construction project the first tools you'll use for turning that design into physical reality are your RC construction trucks.
You have to get your RC construction equipment to the jobsite before any work begins.
You'll haul your excavators (the first tool for clearing the site in preparation for your build project), front loaders (for scooping up the loose dirt, filling the dump trucks, and final leveling work), the forklifts (for positioning your building materials), and the cranes (for delivering those materials to the upper levels of construction) all to your site with flatbed semi trucks.
Starting, of course, with the excavators since those are the first RC construction equipment you'll use to start the clearing phase.
The flatbed trailer semis are not only key equipment for transporting your RC construction toys to the site, but you'll also use them for delivering all your building materials, and the forklifts that unload those materials for distribution around your build site.
As you excavate dirt in preparation for your project foundation use your RC dump trucks to haul that dirt to holding areas for use later. The excavators and loaders fill the dump beds with the dirt you dig away.
Once the excavators and loaders remove the excess dirt, and level the ground, it's time to construct the foundation. Now you're ready for the cement mixer trucks. They'll bring in, and pour, the concrete to form the base of your building area.
When your project requires multi-level construction you need a crane truck to deliver materials to the upper levels. Only the crane truck combines mobility with the ability to lift items into place. The crane truck climbs the roads that lead upward, carrying the building materials along, as the project takes shape.
Only your imagination limits the number of radio control construction toy projects you can build.
Whether you design racetracks and drag strips, monster truck rally arenas, airports, boating lakes or ponds, towns, or cities you'll need the RC construction toys to prepare your site, lay the foundation, and deliver your materials to the work crew.
And the very first radio control construction equipments you'll use are the remote control trucks.

In the wake of such scandals as Bremer Vulkan and Metallgesellschaft in Germany, Banesto and Seat in Spain, and Ferruzzi in Italy, reform of corporate governance has become a priority for European policy-makers. What's more, there is growing pressure from outside Europe, as many US- based institutional investors diversify their portfolios and begin to question incumbent management. Increasingly too, there is pressure from within, as European countries seek to restructure their pension systems.
But the corporate governance problem is not staightforward. In the UK, as in the US, it can be summarised as "weak owners, strong managers"; in continental Europe, it is better characterised as "strong blockholders, weak minority investors". In the latter case, the notion of "shareholder value", often presented as the guiding principle for corporate governance, is less clear when large blockholders are able to exploit minority investors.
Solutions to these problems are being sought both by individual countries and by the EU itself. But research suggests that reformers should tread carefully. Corporate law and corporate finance are intimately related, often in ways that economists and analysts do not yet understand. Reforms may thus have unexpected effects, as I discussed in an article in Economic Policy No 24.
Recent research by L A Porta et al clearly establishes the link: countries with strong legal protection of minority shareholders have less concentrated ownership of equity than countries where the rules leave more discretion to managers and controlling investors. It is important not to jump to conclusions regarding causality. Indeed, patterns of finance and law may well be jointly determined by history, in particular by factors related to legal origins: for example, on most accounts, investors in countries with laws of French origin fare worse than their counterparts in legal systems of German or Anglo-Saxon origins.
The connection between corporate law and corporate finance is vital for economic growth. A 1993 paper by King and Levine claims that financial development is the single most important explanation of differences in economic growth among countries. In a paper presented to the Centre for Economic Policy Research's Corporate Governance network, Rajan and Zingales suggested that financial development affects industrial development: industries with large external finance requirements are less developed in countries with weak securities markets. And another paper by La Porta et al links financial development to investor protection and hence to legal origins: countries with French-style corporate laws tend to have less developed securities markets.
But despite legal differences, corporate financing patterns in Europe are much more similar than is generally believed: in most countries, internal finance is the most important source of funding for firms; debt is the most important external source; and the net contribution of equity finance to the corporate sector is limited.
The real differences across countries lie in the patterns of ownership and control. In continental Europe, ownership is concentrated and investors are "control-oriented", giving up opportunities for diversification to take on large stakes in individual companies. Ownership is dominated by families and private companies, and the principle "one-share-one-vote" is frequently violated. In contrast, the UK corporate landscape is dominated by dispersed owners with "arm's-length" relationships with the firms they own. These differences in ownership and control are matched by important variations in corporate legal structures.
The mechanisms for corporate governance differ between control-oriented and arm's-length systems. In the former, any initiatives for change come from large investors or creditors with a close long-term relationship with the firm. This has implications for the role of corporate institutions: the board of a firm where one owner controls most of the shares cannot be expected to act as an independent monitor of management.
In the latter, corrective actions are often initiated by outsiders. Nevertheless, hostile takeovers are rarely important in disciplining firms. In most countries, they are extremely unusual, and even in the UK, they do not normally target poorly performing firms. Work published in 1995 by Franks, Mayer and Rennebog suggests that corrective actions in such firms tend to be initiated by a single investor, often another company, with a large blockholding. This is much as in continental Europe.
Moreover, the turnover of controlling stakes is higher in control-oriented governance systems than is generally believed: the difference is that these transactions take place outside the official exchanges. It is also a misconception that control is never challenged. Research on Germany by Jenkinson and Ljungqvist documents cases where outsiders have been able to implement policies hostile to controlling investors and incumbent management often with the help of the company's house bank.
So what are the implications of this research for plans to reform corporate governance? Certainly, any attempts must take into account the links between corporate governance and corporate law. But more importantly, national differences must be recognised, especially between the UK and continental Europe. Different problems require different solutions and any EU-wide reform is likely to fail even if it were able to gain the necessary political support. A "voluntary code of conduct" is also probably a non-starter: the European Commission is unlikely to give up its right to regulate and such a code would tend to attract large firms that already meet the requirements.
Instead, I would argue that reform should have a national focus and if a single guiding principle is needed, protection of minority investors is probably the best choice. At the same time, it is important to recognise that there are costs to protection: maximum protection is not desirable since managers and controlling owners need some degree of discretion as well as incentives to work effectively.
An important goal of any financial system of reform should be to make securities markets more liquid. But liquidity should be pursued directly, not through restrictions on investors' ability to exercise governance. Making institutional investors more active may be important in the UK, but it is not the most urgent issue elsewhere in Europe at the moment. US-based institutions are likely to take the lead, but as pension reform proceeds, the new European pension funds must become active investors.
If there is to be a European corporate governance policy, the focus should probably be on transparency of ownership and control arrangements. For example, an investor buying stocks in a firm that is part of an Italian pyramid, in a Dutch firm with golden shares, or in a Swedish company with crossholdings, will have difficulties in evaluating the investment. Greater transparency improves liquidity which lowers the cost of capital and facilitates transfers of controlling blocks.
The EU's Transparency Directive is an important first step towards greater transparency. But as recent work by European researchers on corporate governance shows, a great deal remains to be done. Examples from Austria, Germany and the Netherlands demonstrate the weaknesses in the implementation of the directive so far.
This article draws on research reported in 'Reforming Corporate Governance: Redirecting the European Agenda' by Eric Berglof, published in Economic Policy 24 (April 1997) by Blackwells. Berglof is Director of the Stockholm Institute of Transition Economics and East European Economies at the Stockholm School of Economics and is associated with ECARE in Brussels. He is a Research Fellow in CEPR's Financial Economics, Industrial Organisation and Transition Economics programmes, and a co-ordinator of CEPR's Corporate Governance network.

PHP/MySQL inventory system for small school book program
This project received 20 bids from talented freelancers with an average bid price of $378 USD.Get free quotes for a project like this
Project Budget$30 - $250 USD
Total Bids20
Project Description
Good day programmers,
I am in need of a small inventory project for my church's internal book program.
Current Environment:
School has 300 students. Each student has a (name, studentId, categoryId, classroomNumber, and status (active, blocked due to not returning books timely). There are a dozen or so classrooms. Each classroom has a teacherName, roomNumber, gradeNumber.
There are books, approximately 800 of them. There are categories of books (stages of difficulty). There are 10 categories. Each category has a categoryId and colorName. Each book has a bookId, title, categoryId, and assignment (Available or checked out). There are assignments, books that have been assigned to specific students (assignmentId, studentId, bookId, assignmentDate, returnDate).
Currently this is all done by paper. I would like to set this up in an automated way, so that we put barcodes on the books and student bags, and are able to quickly check books in, and check them out.
I have a computer running windows 7 that I can install webserver software on. As I have some familiarity with PHP and MySQL, I would like it written in that. I think it makes it possible for us to put the webserver on the local network so that teachers can check out their students' assignments. That part is unnecessary and out of scope for this project.
I am not looking for fancy interfacing. Simple PHP standard formatting and output. I only am looking for the following functionality:
1) Book Check-in mode: scanning a book's barcode while in this mode would mark the book available, unassign it from the current student, set return date to date book scanned returned.
2) Book check-out mode: While in this mode, steps would be as follows:
a) scan student's barcode on his/her bag
b) Student's level and status shows on screen (valid student or locked)
c) scan barcode of prospective book
d) book is confirmed on the same level as student - OK
e) book is confirmed as not one the student has been assigned before. - OK
f) if both are okay, check out to student is valid.
3) Reporting
a) late report
-) Listing, broken down by classroom, of students with books out past XX days - set in admin screen, warning threshold
-) listing, broken down by classroom of students with books out past YY days - set in admin screen, LOCKED threshold, no new assignments to that student
- listing broken down by classroom, sorted by studentName, book assigned to them on date
4) Admin interface
a) set simple variable amounts, like how many days a book can be checked out before student put on Warning list, Locked list.
b) users list: not in scope for this project. No security implementation need be added for this project. If you are able to do it and want to do it as a simple add-on, please PM me.
5) Initial date import.
a) unnecessary. I will import data using PHPmyAdmin or something. I would like you to use dummy data for testing purposes. Barcode scan data is 12 digits, I believe. Names, unsure what the longest name is, but plan for normal name lengths with the occasional large name. Titles lengths, the same I guess.
That is all I can think of. If you have any suggestions to make this easier for you to program or some streamlining, please do not be shy.
And thank you for your time.

I call to you my lover,
We both know who you are.
The beautiful one so cleaver.
Shine brighter than the sky.
Do you move in the night,
And watch me wright this poem.
The tear of a rose that feels only Ecstasy.
The smoke of the moon who connects you to me.

And smell transparent floral blessings.
It's your love, and your here,
Lying a wood away from me.

A powerful storm on a planet in another solar system has been spotted by astronomers. Winds blowing at 6,200mph were detected on the distant world, which orbits a Sun-like star 150 light years away. The "exoplanet" HD209458b has about 60 per cent the mass of Jupiter and is located near the constellation of Pegasus. Circling its parent star at just a 20th of the distance between the Earth and the Sun, it is heated to a temperature of 1,000C. But since the planet always has the same side facing the star, one half is very hot while the other is much cooler. "On Earth, big temperature differences inevitably lead to fierce winds, and as our new measurements reveal, the situation is no different on HD209458b," said Dr Simon Albrecht, one of the scientists from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Boston, US, whose research is reported in the journal Nature.
Every 3.5 days the planet moves in front of its star, blocking out a small portion of starlight over a period of three hours. The "transiting" events allowed astronomers on Earth to analyse light patterns providing information about the planet's atmosphere.Reuse content

Update PHP plugins
- Status Closed
- Budget $30 - $250 USD
- Total Bids 21
Project Description
I was running a side business selling plugins for a popular php directory. I no longer have time to do this however there are still clients looking to buy those plugins. I am looking for partner or person who would be willing to update those plugins as new versions or updates come up. The updates are minor and should not take a long time if you are php savy.
The estimated monthly income from this would be around 100-200 per month. There were many custom requests during the past months that we turned down so it may be much higher if you are good. We can work thereto in two ways in your bid please mention which one you choose:
1-Partners: sell plugins and income is split 50-50. Plugins fixed can sell for as long as a year without touching it and doing anyting.
2-Onetime project: update plugins for a fee and no sale splits. Usually updating those plugins can take between 1-10 hours.
Looking forward to meet some hard working php savy professional person.
Regarding me and working ethic:
-Please do not promise deadlines etc .. if you can not deliver.
-You should be able to work alone and be creative in making the plugins work and testing for bugs.
-I pay on time and as promised for the person who works hard and communicates clearly.

Will We See Jason Todd In The DC Cinematic Universe; Chad Staheleski & David Leitch Being Courted For DC Film
Twenty seven years ago The Joker killed off Jason Todd in Batman's A Death In The Family. Or so we thought. That character later came back in the comics as the Red Hood.
I was one of the teenagers back in '88 who called the 900 number to let Jason Todd live. I got in a lot of trouble with my parents when the phone bill came at the end of the month so I feel gyped that I voted and believe DC owes us voters a full refund! Jason Todd/Red Hood will always be a sore subject with me. Apparently though, there are big plans for the character in the upcoming DC Cinematic Universe.
But that is not all. Extreme stuntmen/fight choreographers turned dope film directors Chad Stahelski and David Leitch are being courted to direct a DC film. Which one, I'm not sure. Still investigating. The pair directed John Wick.
When I saw John Wick back in October, Kevin Feige was at my screening as well and I thought he was looking at Keanu for Doctor Strange. It wouldn't surprise me if he has the pair in mind for an upcoming Marvel film too. The duo's background in stunts, fight choreography, and 2nd unit directing make them prime candidates for superhero movies.

The Prada fall handbags are in!
Unfortunately this Prada Ombre Patent Leather Tote prevents me from jumping with joy.
Is it just me or is the #tie-dye effect a little over-the-top?
The gray version is somewhat subtle, but the red is pure '#80s flash.
If you can get past that, the purse also sports luxe Prada details like silver hardware, stylish little buckles, and black #leather trim.
It's a slick, funky look, that's for sure.
But is it too #eccentric?

Bloomed last fall and earlier this spring.
this is it's third bloom cycle. Large and colorful flowers
with good substance, 7 buds on tall, thick stalks. Plenty of increase
left after blooms. White under beards didn't show up too well in the
picture, a little bit more prominent on the flower. One of my
favorite reblooming seedlings this year, but I do like the bright,
vibrant colored flowers, so maybe my eye is a bit biased. Hope
someone else likes it because we put it on the "fast track" to
