IT Capability Maturity Framework (IT-CMF)Fast becoming the gold standard for the management of IT Value and IT-Enabled Innovation.
Successful businesses are driven by innovation and it is the CIOs of these organizations that lead the way by delivering outstanding IT-enabled products, services and processes. IT-CMF can help.
IT Capability Maturity Framework (IT-CMF)
Organizations, both public and private, are constantly challenged to innovate and generate real value.
CIOs are uniquely well-positioned to meet these challenges and to adopt the role of business transformation partner, helping their organizations to grow and prosper with innovative, IT-enabled products, services, and processes.
The IT function needs to manage an array of discrete but interdependent disciplines focused on the generation of IT-enabled agility, innovation and value. IT-CMF helps organizations devise more robust strategies, make better-informed decisions, and perform more effectively, efficiently and consistently.
A Holistic, Business-Led Approach that is:
IT-CMF helps organizations to develop enduring IT capabilities.
It is underpinned by coherent concepts and principles that help stakeholders to agree strategic goals, implement planned actions and evaluate performance.
It complements other, domain-specific frameworks already in use in the organization and fills in gaps in coverage.
It can be used to guide performance improvement in organizations of any size and in any sector.
IT Management Critical Capabilities
Capability Building Blocks + Individual Maturity Profiles
Maturity Assessment Questions
The Four Macro-Capabilities
IT-CMF is divided into four Macro-Capabilities. Click on the links below to find out more.
The 35 Critical Capabilities
IT Capability Maturity Framework™ (IT-CMF™) is a comprehensive suite of proven management practices, assessment approaches and improvement strategies covering 35 management disciplines or Critical Capabilities (CCs).
For each capability, IT-CMF incorporates a comprehensive suite of maturity profiles, assessment methods, and improvement roadmaps – these are expressed in business language that can be used to guide discussions on setting goals and evaluating performance.
IT-CMF & Other Frameworks
IT-CMF acts as a unifying (or umbrella) framework that complements other domain-specific frameworks already in use in the organization, helping to resolve conflicts between them, and filling gaps in their coverage.
Service Management + Project Management + Software Development + Benefits Management + Enterprise Architecture
Organizations that are already using other frameworks or approaches in discrete areas of their operation can use IT-CMF to integrate them into a coherent whole and to fill in any gaps between them.
When used in this way, IT-CMF provides a holistic view that facilitates the identification of any weaknesses in the value delivery chain, and helps drive improvement.
IT Capability Maturity Framework™ (IT-CMF™)
The Body of Knowledge Guide
Development of IT-CMF is made possible by the many individuals from organizations spanning industry, government and academia throughout the world, who donated their time to add richness, relevance and rigour to the body of knowledge.

Technical study is a trading tool used to assess securities and attempt to estimate their future movement by analysing statistics collected from trading activity, like volume and price movement. Unlike fundamental experts who attempt to assess a security's intrinsic value, technical experts focus on price movement recorded on charts and numerous analytical tools to assess a security's weakness or strength and estimate future price changes.
Technical analysts believe past trading activity and price changes of a security are better indicators of the security's likely future price movements than the intrinsic value of the security. Technical analysis was shaped out of basic concepts garnered from Dow Theory, a philosophy about trading market activities that originated from the initial literatures of Charles Dow. Two simple assumptions of popular Dow Theory that trigger all of technical study are market discounts every element that may impact a security's price and secondly market price movements are in identifiable trends and patterns that repeat over time.
Select Income REIT (NYSE:SIR) P/E ratio is N/A while PEG ratio is at 2.84. Select Income REIT stock recorded a close of $25.37 in last trading session, which gets it market cap to $N/A.

Google Account Help on Astro Queo
I just bought a cheap little Astro Queo A711 Android tablet for my kids to be able to play around on without hurting mine. It's got Android 4.0.4 on it and came stock with Gmail and the Amazon Appstore, along with some random other bloatware. I cannot find any support websites or phone numbers for the manufacturer's of the silly thing. When trying to sync it with my personal Google account (on which I have already purchased some games for the kids) I get the error message "A problem occurred while communicating with Google servers. Please try again later." All of my personal devices (running Kit Kat) have no problem communicating with Google servers. Any help would be appreciated.

Re: Google Account Help on Astro Queo
I don't think you can get the tablet to sync, unfortunately, because it's not a Google play compatible tablet.
You might be able to install gmail, if that app can be side loaded (not sure, really), but this isn't going to work like your KitKat device because it isn't really licensed with Google. The Amazon app store preinstalled, and the lack of Google Play apps is an indicator of that.

The Fact Checker: Ad Watch
Revisiting Romney's 'deceitful, dishonest' ad about Obama
"Senator McCain's campaign actually said, and I quote, 'if we keep talking about the economy, we're going to lose.'"
— Then-Sen. Barack Obama, Oct. 16, 2008
We resisted writing about Mitt Romney's first television ad when it was released just before Thanksgiving, on the grounds that the issue — whether the ad misquoted President Obama — had been thoroughly and quickly discussed. We sometimes also see little need to fact check items that have been already debunked by one political faction or the other.
But readers have repeatedly asked us to weigh in, and the ad was once again in the news this week after a report in The New York Times by our former colleague Thomas Edsall quoted an anonymous "top operative" in the Romney campaign as defending the ad because "ads are propaganda by definition…. Ads are about hyperbole, they are about editing…. They are manipulative pieces of persuasive art."
Excuse us for appearing cynical, but Romney's supposed adviser is simply stating a truth practiced by both political parties. We've seen plenty of Four-Pinocchio ads in our time, and this Romney ad does not make the cut.
The Facts
The ad opens with a headline: "On October 16, 2008, Barack Obama Visited New Hampshire." Then grainy scenes flash by of Obama speaking as more headlines flash by, such as: "He Promised He Would Fix the Economy…. He Failed"
Mitt Romney: Flip-flopper or not?
"And there's no question, but that people are going to take snippets and take things out of context and try and show that there are differences."
— Former governor Mitt Romney on Fox News, Nov. 29, 2011
Mitt Romney has a flip-flop problem. Slowly but surely, the conventional wisdom is solidifying that the former Massachusetts governor often has changed his position to suit the politics of the moment. The story line has been advanced by his opponents, in both parties, but also in the media. Take a look at this wicked cartoon by our colleague Tom Toles, in which Romney tells an elephant dressed as Santa Claus: "What would you like me to ask for?"
Of course, politicians have every right to change their minds. An inflexible attitude is not always the sign of an effective leader. But too many flips without enough explanation may give voters pause. In Romney's case, many of his moves have been from the left — when he was governor of Massachusetts — to the right, as he has run for the Republican presidential nomination.
Now the Democratic National Committee has assembled some of its best evidence of Romney-as-flip-flopper in a four-minute video ad. The DNC helpfully provided a detailed explanation of where each clip came from (see below), and we have picked through them to see whether the flip-flop charge holds up. We give a Pinocchio rating to each claim, in the order in which it is made in the commercial.

Kings captain Luke Watson is back in the starting XV for Saturday's clash with the Bulls, after recovering from a lengthy injury lay-off.
Kings captain Luke Watson is back in the starting XV for their clash with the Bulls in Port Elizabeth on Saturday, after a lengthy lay-off through injury.
Watson was taken off in the first half – after suffering a blow to the throat – in the Kings' opening match against the Western Force in February and only returned to action for the Eastern Province Vodacom Cup side last week.
The back-rower initially expected to play only 60 minutes, but went through the whole match against South Western Districts (SWD), scoring a try in EP's 52-10 victory.
Watson will start at number eight, against the Bulls, in place of Cornell du Preez, who moves to flank.
Kings director of rugby Alan Solomons believes there would be no problem fitting the skipper into the Kings' pattern of play.
"We were pleased that Luke got through the game against SWD and it set him up for his return, and it's great to have him back," said Solomons.
Watson feels the side's solid structures would stand them in good stead on his return.
"We have pretty good structures which have been in place since our campaign started in November," he said.
"A lot of our inspiration and motivation is internally driven by the team, and with the strong structures we have, I am sure it will be a smooth transition back into the team."
The Kings have kept their backline intact following last week's 30-27 win over the Melbourne Rebels, but have made several other changes to the forwards.
Hooker Bandise Maku and prop Kevin Buys return to the front row, while David Bulbring is back at lock in place of Rynier Bernardo, who drops to the bench.
Maku, who has played for the Bulls, said they were expecting a strong physical onslaught from the Pretoria side.
"We have to match them physically up front because they are always strong in the set pieces," Maku said.
Kings: 15 George Whitehead, 14 Ronnie Cooke, 13 Waylon Murray, 12 Andries Strauss, 11 Sergeal Petersen, 10 Demetri Catrakilis, 9 Shaun Venter, 8 Luke Watson (c), 7 Wimpie van der Walt, 6 Cornell du Preez, 5 David Bulbring, 4 Steven Sykes, 3 Kevin Buys, 2 Bandise Maku, 1 Schalk Ferreira.
Replacements: 16 Hannes Franklin, 17 Grant Kemp, 18 Rynier Barnardo, 19 Jacques Engelbrecht, 20 Nicolas Vergallo, 21 Marcello Sampson, 22 Siviwe Soyizwapi.
Date: Saturday, 20 April
Venue: Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium, Port Elizabeth

Referee: Francisco Pastrana (Argentina)

Warm and sunny in O.C.; winds midweek
Orange County should be warm and mostly sunny for the next week, the National Weather Service says, with drier conditions as winds push toward the ocean.
High-pressure air off the West Coast is combining with low pressure over Utah and the Rocky Mountains to bring gusty winds from the northeast as high as 35 mph by Wednesday morning.
The pattern also, for the most part, should keep coastal clouds away.
Monday looks mostly sunny as the warming pattern kicks in. High temperatures should be about 84 inland, 77 on the coast.
Tuesday also is expected to be mostly sunny and 87 degrees inland, 80 on the coast, with 15 mph winds from the southwest in the afternoon and from the east overnight.
On Wednesday, the winds begin to blow from the northeast at 15 to 20 mph, the gusts spiking to 35 in the morning.
The day is forecast to be otherwise sunny and 89 inland, 82 on the coast.
Thursday is mostly sunny, Friday just sunny, as temperatures show little change: 84 degrees inland on Thursday, 83 Friday, and 76 on the coast Thursday, 75 Friday.
Then Saturday and Sunday are mostly sunny with inland highs of 80 to 85 Saturday, 78 to 83 Sunday.
At the beach it's expected to be 74 Saturday, 72 Sunday.

Source: Lynn Clements, Director of Regulatory Affairs
On August 19, 2014, Patricia Shiu, Director of Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP), issued guidance to field staff clarifying that discrimination based on gender identity and transgender status is sex discrimination under Executive Order 11246. Executive Order prohibits federal contractors and subcontractors from discriminating on the basis of sex, race, color, national origin, and religion in employment.
In July, 2014, President Obama issued Executive Order 13672, which amended Executive Order 11246 to add sexual orientation and gender identity to the list of protected categories. President Obama also directed the Department of Labor (DOL) to "prepare regulations" within 90 days to implement these new protections. OFCCP's new Directive 2014-02 appears to be an interim step in the DOL's efforts to fulfill that promise. The Directive provides OFCCP interprets Executive Order 11246 as covering discrimination based on gender identity and transgender status as a form of sex discrimination.
Directive 2014-02 notes OFCCP consistently has interpreted Executive Order 11246 in accordance with case law developed under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (Title VII), which is enforced by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC). In 2012, the EEOC unanimously held in a federal sector decision that discrimination based on transgender status can be discrimination based on sex prohibited by Title VII.
The Directive provides that OFCCP will investigate "individual and systemic" complaints of gender identity or transgender discrimination by applicants for employment with as well as current and former employees of federal contractors and subcontractors, rather than transfer these cases to the EEOC for investigation. Compliance Officers also are directed to "continue to seek to remedy any findings of sex discrimination against transgender employees that are discovered . . . during scheduled compliance evaluations."
Directive 2014-02 does not mention coverage of discrimination based on sexual orientation, even though Executive Order 13672 covers discrimination on this basis. OFCCP will still issue proposed regulations to cover discrimination on this basis, as well as gender identity and transgender status as separate protected categories, in the next few months. Proposed regulations are expected before October, 2014.
Directive 2014-02 was emailed to field personnel yesterday and is available on OFCCP's website at http://www.dol.gov/ofccp/regs/compliance/directives/dir2014_02.html.
Berkshire will continue to monitor this Directive, and provide updates as they become available. For more information, please contact Berkshire Associates at 800.882.8904.

Lawmaker's wife to run in Miaoli by-election
The China Post news staff December 15, 2008, 9:45 am TWN
MIAOLI, Taiwan -- The ruling Kuomintang will start picking a candidate this week to run for the legislative seat vacated by lawmaker Lee E-ting, with his wife Chen Luan-ying as a key contender.
Lee was stripped of his seat last week due to conviction of vote-buying in the form of making financial donations to local temples in the central western county of Miaoli.
The KMT will set the timetable for selecting a candidate on Wednesday with the formal announcement and acceptance of registrations beginning on Thursday.
If there is more than one interested candidate, the party will discuss the possibilities. Public opinion polls will be carried out during the holidays starting on Jan. 1 and a straw vote of KMT members will be held on Jan. 4 to produce one candidate.
The name of the winner of the primary will be forwarded to the headquarters for final approval.
There were reports that three KMT members of the county council and one former lawmaker, Ho Chih-hui, were interested in the seat albeit none has yet openly announced any firm decision.
Lee's wife is expected to get many sympathetic votes as many residents in Miaoli believe that Lee's seat should not be nullified just because he made contributions to temples.
Chen is seen to receive staunch backing from the supporters of her husband. Lee started his career as a public servant at the Holong Township Government, handling farming and economic affairs.
Supporters interpret that a victory for Chen will be vindication for her husband.
It is highly common for politicians' wives to run for public offices on behalf of their husbands when the men are unavailable due to legal troubles or other reasons.
The opposition Democratic Progressive Party plans to draft a candidate to give itself a shot at the seat in the by-election that will be held within three months.
But the party will not put forward the candidate before the KMT candidate is nailed down.
DPP leaders were most interested in drafting Yeh Chu-lan, who formerly served as vice premier and presidential secretary general. Miaoli is a farming county with a high percentage of residents of Hakka people. Yeh once served as the chairwoman of the Cabinet Council of Hakka Affairs.
However, she is unlikely to emerge as the DPP candidate because she has no household registration, making her ineligible to run for the seat.
DPP leaders said they will come up with the most qualified candidate, although the party will face an uphill battle considering the low support for the DPP in recent elections.

On a Friday night visit to your local pub, you might be surprised if you found a group of researchers entertaining a lively crowd with a stand-up routine.
But this is exactly what you will see if you come to The Bright Club, a comedy night established by University College London, where staff and students deliver their jokes while sharing their research with sell-out audiences. This might sound unusual, but it is just one of the many non-academic ways universities and researchers engage with the public.
Because research is publicly funded, it is important people are aware of where that investment is made and how it has an impact on their lives and the UK's prosperity. But the benefit is reciprocal. Telling jokes and other forms of direct engagement also bring valuable input.
Some of the excellent research that is taking place today relies on the direct engagement of the public to refine ideas, gather data and, of course, to develop the curiosity of the next generation.
Researchers are excellent role models for young people and can play a key role in motivating students and raising ambitions. A survey of more than 1,000 scientists carried out for the Royal Society showed slightly more than half had been influenced in their career choice by a visit to a scientist's or engineer's place of work; and nearly a quarter had been influenced by a scientist or engineer visiting their schools.
Dr Michael Pocock, a research fellow at the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) Centre for Ecology and Hydrology has encouraged and supported thousands of school children to work with him.
They gather conker tree leaves to find out what type of insects emerge.
They post their findings online to answer important questions about the biology of these insects. He says: "I think it is vital to engage with others about my research. One really effective way of doing this is to ask them to join in and do the research. I believe that it is really important to communicate to people the importance of research in our environment.
The other thing is that this type of engagement is great fun." The centre has also developed a smartphone app so anyone can get involved in the research by photographing samples and sending them in directly.
At Research Councils UK (RCUK), we believe engaging the public with research should be part of every researcher's ambitions. In partnership with the Higher Education Funding Councils and the Wellcome Trust, we invested in the beacons for public engagement. These are university- based collaborative centres set up to support, reward and build capacity for public involvement with research. The project is engaging thousands of people across the UK with research in immediate ways.
RCUK is working with the other funders to create a culture that prioritises public engagement. A concordat for engaging the public with research was launched at the end of 2010 to emphasise the opportunities across all disciplines. The National Coordinating Centre for Public Engagement's (NCCPE) Engage 2011 conference, in Bristol on 29 and 30 November, will be a great for learning more about public involvement.
For the researchers, engaging with the public builds skills that are useful in all walks of life and enriches personal and professional experience. It may also improve their comic timing.
More information about RCUK's support for public engagement is available at www.rcuk.ac.uk/per For more information about the NCCPE and Engage 2011, visit www.publicengagement.ac.uk

News from Organic Perspectives' Agroforestry Project – December 2012.
Organic Perspectives is happy to bring you this year's final quarterly e-news update from our reforestation project in Kamuli and Buyende districts – Eastern Uganda. Here is a video summary of our new stories: http://youtu.be/w97BSsGBY-Q – or please read on below!
Initial Experiences from (community-led) Social Forestry
Our supporters would be interested to know that this season (June – Dec, '12) has been the very first where we used 'Social Forestry' in our project. "Social forestry refers to a group of forestry management strategies for local community development, in which the aspects of local participation in management and in benefits of tree growing are central objectives" (Source).
In practice, we set up community-led reforestation centers (nurseries) at village or parish level; assign them to trained local 'Project Extension Groups' (PEGs) that in turn have to cascade our agroforestry training to their neighborhoods and manage all project chores—including the giving out of saplings to other farmers. We'd like to share with you our first experiences from this.
Community Participation
As captured in our earlier videos from June (http://www.youtube.com/user/organicperspectives) the new approach has captivated local farmers' participation in our project the most—from mass engagement during nursery establishment and maintenance to the planting stage.
In the last 6 months, we initiated 2 community sites; one in Kisozi (Kamuli district) and other in Kidera (Buyende district). Our PEG in Kidera provided seedlings to about 55 households, planting an estimated 35,000 trees. The group in Kisozi provided over 20,000 seedlings to about 30 households and also used some of their seed to erect a hedge along a route that leads to a shallow well—aiming to reduce erosion.
We will be initiating 4 more community sites for the New Year, so we can have six.
Observations in Community Project Implementation
1) Tree spacing:
From our field visits to individual farmers' planting sites, we find that some farmers need hands-on help with determining spacing in given agroforestry systems.
>> What can be done about it: For the New Year, our team has planned to work hand in hand with the respective PEGs in giving out the initial saplings at the sites. In this, we will demonstrate at a few farmers' fields/gardens on the right spacing for given species and agroforestry systems. We think it's all about making good examples; others could emulate.
2) Dry-season maintenance
The shortage of water for sustaining transplanted seedlings when the rains don't come proved to be the biggest difficulty in Kidera (Buyende) than Kisozi (Kamuli). Unlike other slightly-facilitated villages especially in Kamuli where a few development aid organizations have worked, our project site (Kabugudo) in Kidera has one borehole as the only water source (2km from the nursery site); serving at least 3 villages (over 300 families)!
>> What can be done about it: (Note: when our local PEG here first presented the issue to us back in August with a request that perhaps Organic Perspectives could make networks to help them install at least a second borehole nearby, our team immediately contacted one charity doing the same kind of work in a different part of Uganda, but this wasn't successful).
The greatest challenge here is also that these people therefore have a constrained access to drinking water. As this is a region with literally no public outreach, we'd request any of our supporters here who has connections to other organizations that could be able to help—at least only this village to get a borehole or deep well! Alternatively, someone could simply be able to launch an open discussion forum (e.g. a meetup page) to build crowd support for this.
Future Inclusions
For the New Year, we will seek to equally involve school kids in our project the way we work with local farmers—with a more systematically ongoing monitoring process. While we piloted (together with Trees for the Future Uganda) a school agroforestry project at 5 schools in Kamuli in 2010, it was more or less in the form of 1- 2 day training workshops at the schools!
Presently, our social forestry project has given us the insight that we can have a more thrilling project if we similarly involve kids—including having real planning meetings (not just training workshops) with the kids e.g. on how to manage nurseries and seedlings during the dry season, or during school time and holidays. Our latest experience as in the video above shows children are better able to handle things like 'dry season maintenance' as well as the planting of seedlings.

New DRM Scheme Could Make Current DVD Players Obsolete
Hewlett-Packard and Philips have developed a content-protection system for DVDs that's designed to protect users from burning "protected" DTV broadcasts.LAS VEGASGuess what? Your DVD player might now be obsolete. Hewlett-Packard Co. and Royal Philips Electronics NV said Wednesday that they have developed a content-protection system for DVDs, designed to protect users from burning "protected" DTV broadcasts. The encryption system will be built into next-generation DVD players as well as media.
Without a player and disc using the new Video Content Protection Scheme, or VCPS, DVD burners wont be able to record digital video under the new regulations. That will mean that the enormous installed base of DVD players and burners may be forced into obsolescence, executives said.

NEW YORK (AP) Business lender CIT Group said Tuesday its chairman and CEO Jeffrey Peek plans to resign at the end of the year.
Devastated by the downturn in the credit markets, CIT (CIT) has been trying to avoid bankruptcy for months as it restructures its operations.
Peek said in a statement that CIT's recently launched restructuring plan makes it "the appropriate time to focus on a transition of leadership."
New York-based CIT, one of the nation's largest lenders to small and midsize businesses, is in the middle of its second debt restructuring in recent months as it looks to reduce costs to remain in business.
The current debt exchange could reduce the financial firm's near-term debt burden by $5.7 billion. CIT is trying to swap debt set to mature in the near future for bonds or preferred shares.
CIT has already received $2.3 billion in federal bailout money, a $3 billion emergency loan from some of its largest bondholders, and bought back $1 billion in debt as it tries to reorganize and avoid collapse.
The board of directors is creating a search committee to find a new CEO.
