Nine years ago, I wrote an article titled "Where is the ROI in CRM". At the time, I was working at Oracle as a product strategist for their CRM (customer relationship management) solution and was a big proponent of analytic CRM. Analytic CRM is an approach for analyzing the profitability of customers (either current or lifetime value -LTV), and then segmenting customers based on on their contributions. At the time, Oracle was one of the few vendors who could actually deliver a complete customer profitability and analytic CRM solution. Alas, I was a little ahead of my time as most companies didn't really care about customer profitability before and during the booming dot-com era.
From the studies I did in the late 90's for the financial services industry, customer profitability definitely followed the 80/20 rule (also known as the Pareto Principle) and in some cases, it was even worse than that ratio.
My article focused on the three simple things that companies could do once they were able to conduct a value-based customer segmentation:
- Better customer management
- Targeted selling
- Focused retention efforts
My conclusions at the time were:
In a nutshell, companies need to build a strong foundation of customer intelligence which must include detailed customer profitability, data mining and predictive modeling; they need capable marketing tools to measure and manage interaction programs; they need people with strong marketing and analytical backgrounds to plan and execute their sales, up-sales and retention programs; they need to be able to manage and distribute customer intelligence to those who need to transform it into action; and, ultimately, they need to tie this customer knowledge into all customer-facing applications.
With the explosion of social media websites and tools (such as Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Yelp and others) over the last year or two, people are starting to talk about a combination of social media and CRM called social CRM.
For example, the following graph from Google Trends shows the growth of the term "social CRM" over the last 12 months. Before January, almost no one was talking about social CRM.
So what's different about social CRM?
Basically, the customers are now in charge and expect to be part of the conversation. Pete Blackshaw wrote an interesting book last year called "Satisfied Customers Tell 3 Friends – Angry Customers Tell 3,000" that sums up the dilemma. While the title is catchy, I am not sure if the metrics are exactly accurate. In any case, companies must listen to both satisfied and unsatisfied customers because they are being heard and can have a significant positive and negative impact on your brand.
Here is my updated social CRM advice:
Monitor conversations – If your company is not monitoring the social media conversations, you are already a step or two behind. It is imperative that all companies start to listen and plan to act on what their customers are saying over the Internet.
Selectively interact with customers – Companies need to let customers know that they are being heard which means that companies need to develop a plan for action and make someone responsible for making it happen. For some companies, it may be difficult to respond to or participate in every conversation – but that should not stop you from at least responding to the most positive and negative comments. In some cases, you may want to even ignore some negative comments as you do not want your conversations to devolve into a mudsling match which could cause more negative PR. Ideally, you will want to prioritize customer interactions based on a combination of customer profitability and customer influence.
Develop new metrics – If your company already uses customer profitability or LTV, then you are a step ahead. Then you just need to develop new metrics to merge customer profitability or LTV with some measure of customer influence, reputation or voice. If your company does not have profitability, LTV or customer influence metrics, then you are really behind the eight-ball.
In case you want to explore this topic further, here are some links to resources and blog posts about social CRM:

| This talk page is for discussing the Gonzalez article.
This includes commenting on the article, questioning whether it is correct, or adding suggestions for improvements
Questions about GTA games, not about the wiki page itself, should be asked at Community:Questions.Remember to always add your signature to the end of your comments/replies using four tildes:
Do we have any images of Gonzales from VCS? I haven't been able to find any on the wiki and I think it would be good to show how he looked in both games, plus we can use it on the VCS Characters page. Christophee (talk) 14:38, 27 August 2009 (UTC)
- Also, I think we should rename this page Gonzalez. That's what he's called in the subtitles on both games he's in and also on the back of the Vice City manual. The only official place I can find where he's called Gonzales is the cast list in the Vice City manual, and I think that must have been a typo. Christophee (talk) 23:33, 27 August 2009 (UTC)
- Please will somebody move the page to Gonzalez? I've edited the rest of the article so that his name is correct but I cannot change the name of the page. Christophee (talk) 20:43, 29 August 2009 (UTC)
- Thank you very much. Christophee (talk) 21:22, 29 August 2009 (UTC)

Last March in the NCHSAA state 2A championship it was Waxhaw Cuthbertson which saw its nice-sized second-half lead whittle away to nothing as Kinston rallied.
On Friday � and again in Raleigh � the Cavaliers returned the favor.
RALEIGH � Last March in the NCHSAA state 2A championship it was Waxhaw Cuthbertson which saw its nice-sized second-half lead whittle away to nothing as Kinston rallied.
On Friday � and again in Raleigh � the Cavaliers returned the favor.
After falling to the Vikings in the title game nine months ago in a game it led nearly start to finish, Cuthbertson rallied from a 13-point second-half deficit and held Kinston scoreless in the final period in the 50-47 win to eliminate the Vikings from the HighSchoolOT.com Holiday Invitational.
In the state title game it was the Cavs (10-1) who controlled the first half then lost control in the second as Kinston won 58-55. On Friday it was the Vikings (9-2) who suffered the same fate.
�We did some good things but did a lot of things poorly, too,� Kinston coach Perry Tyndall said.
After building a 38-24 lead at halftime, Kinston was outscored 26-9 in the second half and held scoreless in the fourth quarter alone. The defeat also sent the Vikings home after two games for the second time in the last three HSOT.com tournaments.
Cuthbertson coach Mike Helms, whose team fell to Hampton (Va.) in overtime on Thursday night in a game that lasted nearly until midnight, said Friday�s game was about getting back what his team lost in March.
�I think probably just the point of playing for pride. It was a great game last year, and today�s game was another great game,� Helms said. �Having played each other and having that film we�re very familiar with each other and what we�re trying to do.
�Mostly, we just talked about playing with our heart and pride.�
Kinston entered the prestigious prep basketball tournament with nine wins in nine games. The Vikings nearly pulled off what would have been the upset of the tournament on Thursday when they rallied in the second half against nationally-ranked DeSoto (Texas).
Following that game Kinston had the confidence it could play with anybody. Following Friday�s second-half meltdown, the Vikings return to Kinston searching for answers.
�We just got to work on staying together when crunchtime comes,� Vikings senior Denzel Keyes said. �We�ve just got to stay as one.�
Added Tyndall: �We did a lot of good things in this tournament but � we�ve got to play a complete game. Everybody�s got to buy in, and we�ve got to have everybody on board.
�We�ve seen what gave us trouble, so we�re going to have to practice with a purpose.�

More than one hundred years ago, on the outermost reaches of Scotland, fishermen's wives began knitting patterned sweaters for their husbands. For this winter, those same rugged yet colourful knits sailed down the runways of Milan and London. But to describe this as a revival would be wrong, because the Fair Isle has been a menswear classic since the industry was invented, and favoured by men who value tradition, comfort and craft, but with a pop of colour added to the mix.
The circular patterns of Fair Isle knits combine straight lines, geometric shapes, bold stripes and blocks of colour for an effect that is both striking but organic. However, as most of today's patterns are designed with a graphics tablet rather than with knitting needles, simple Fair Isle motifs have been enriched by technical developments.
A fisherman with the day's catch, Essex, England, February 1935
Although woolly warmth is considered a given with a Fair Isle sweater, new, lighter yarns mean lighter garments. As Ms Suzy Menkes, the fashion editor of the International Herald Tribune, noted when she saw a Fair Isle invasion in the menswear collections, "Thickness without weight is the essence of modern style.
"In an era where authenticity is prized over artifice," Ms Menkes continued, traditional knitwear patterns such as the Fair Isle make for "something that looks as though it has grown organically from the past, designed to be incorporated into today's closet." Here are just some examples we believe deserve a place in yours.

Creditable Drug Coverage and Medicare Part D - What It Means to Employers
Univera Healthcare has developed a Creditable Coverage tool (Microsoft Excel file) to help you determine if drug coverage is creditable.
Creditable coverage is non-Medicare Part D prescription drug coverage that is at least as good as (i.e., pays, on average, as much as or more than) standard Medicare Part D prescription drug coverage.
When a person becomes eligible for Medicare Part D, they must maintain creditable drug coverage, and not have a break in coverage for 63 or more days. If this is not the case, they will face a significant late enrollment penalty.
Groups must determine if the drug coverage they offer is creditable and:
Disclose this information to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) annually or when there is any change that affects whether the coverage is creditable.
Send the required notice of creditable coverage to Medicare-eligible beneficiaries who are covered by, or who apply for, prescription drug coverage.
Additional information (including the standard model notice) is available at CMS.gov.
Late Enrollment Penalty
Individuals eligible for Medicare Part D (entitled to Medicare Part A and/or enrolled in Part B ) who do not maintain Part D or creditable drug coverage may have to pay a penalty for every month they were eligible to join a Medicare Part D plan and were not enrolled in one. This penalty is in addition to the monthly premium and must be paid for as long as the beneficiary is enrolled in a Medicare Part D plan.
The late enrollment penalty is at least 1 percent of the Part D national average premium ($31.08 in 2012; subject to change annually) for each full uncovered month that a beneficiary was eligible to join a Medicare Part D plan and did not.
If a Medicare-eligible beneficiary has creditable coverage and has not had a break in coverage for 63 or more days, he or she may avoid paying a late enrollment penalty if he or she enrolls later in a Medicare Part D plan.
If you have any questions please contact your account consultant.

Much as the music world at large supremely values so-called original compositions (as if . . . but then that's a discussion for another day), it takes a special talent to make a song written by someone elsein common parlance, a coveryour very own. Take Burt Bacharach and Hal David's "Alfie," from the 1966 film with Michael Caine in the title role. Recorded for the soundtrack by Cilla Black, and later cut by everyone from Babs and Bill Evans to the Delfonics and Sarah Vaughannot to mention a pair of laughably bad versions from Cherthe song is nothing if not overexposed. Bacharach's own soaring arrangement for the film sticks in the world's collective head. For lesser performers, that alone would be more than enough to keep them well clear of trying to cover it.
Yet Chicago's Patricia Barber, at least in her late-'90s/early-'00s heyday, wasn't just any singer. With her leathery alto, her stealth piano playing, and her unique ability to emote without being emotional, she has a way with covers that puts her among the very greatest interpretive artists in jazz. On her sixth album, Nightclub, recorded and mixed by the great engineer and producer Jim Anderson, Barber re-creates in the studio the kind of smoky, downbeat set that, by 2000, she'd been playing for years at Chicago's Green Mill Cocktail Lounge. The album is dedicated to the Green Mill and to Barber's other regular Chicago venue, the Gold Star Sardine Bar.
One word often applied to Barber's style is austere, and it's intended as a compliment. While her voice doesn't soar or boom, her idiosyncratic phrasing is a fine, quiet art, and her work on acoustic piano is slow and penetrating, always with darkened edges. Her sleek, steady take on "Alfie," with her spare piano accompaniment, drummer Adam Nussbaum on brushes, and Charlie Hunter on eight-string guitar, falls into a breezy groove that works. Later on these four LP sides she stretches a hoary standard, "Autumn Leaves," into a positively ghostly experience, with able assistance from Marc Johnson's bass. Her cool detachment serves her well in "Summer Samba," which is elegant in the extreme.
Like most musicians who respect songwriting, Barber has always had a soft spot for Cole Porterher most recent album is The Cole Porter Mix (2008). Here, her reading of "So in Love" is simultaneously touching and minor-key haunting. The "hit" here is "Bye Bye Blackbird," which shows a burst of playfulness that's rare for Barber. And the bonus tracka rarity for a reissue on vinylis a methodically paced "Santa Claus Is Coming to Town" that adds a sexiness, if you will, to this usually boisterous holiday trifle.
In terms of quality and stupendous packaging, Premonition Records continues to outdo almost everyone in the deluxe-reissue game. The heft of Nightclub's glossy jacket is impressive. Pressed at RTI, in Camarillo, California, the 180gm LPs are opulent and sonically rich with exquisite detail in the higher frequencies, a wide, transparent soundstage, and a convincing rumble in the bass end.
Released simultaneously with the vinyl edition of Nightclub is a Blu-ray Disc of Barber's fourth album, Modern Cool (1998)Premonition's first excursion into 5.1-channel surround sound. What follow are the thoughts of Stereophile's "Music in the Round" columnist, Kalman Rubinson, on this adventurous new addition to the Barber catalog.Robert Baird
Patricia Barber's Modern Cool is an audiophile staple. Its enduring ubiquity is testament to its sound quality and general musical appeal, and I easily immersed myself in comparisons of the two-channel (24-bit/192kHz PCM) and 5.1-channel (24/96 dts-HD Master Audio) tracks of this completely remastered Blu-ray Audio edition with the stereo-only SACD/CD (Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab UDSACD 2003). All were played in an Oppo BDP-95 universal Blu-ray player, which let me switch between the BD's stereo and surround tracks on the fly, with minimal interruption.
The good news is that, in two channels, the Blu-ray is superior to the SACD: more open and detailed, with stabler imaging and a more believable soundstage. The BD-A's low end is equally weighty but better definedand, remarkably, Barber's voice sounds even more realistic in timbre and presence.
With the 5.1 tracks, I was struck by how much the already superb stereo soundstage opened up, with each of the instruments more clearly delineated. Striking, too, was the increased spaciousness and power in the bass, a well-known attribute of the original. There was some spill of percussion instruments into the rear channels, but, at least in "Constantinople," this was intentional.
However, Barber's voice and piano are not mixed into the center channel at allexcept in "Constantinople," "Company," and "She's a Lady," where her voice is unsettlingly prominent. I much preferred her L/R voice on the other 5.1 tracks, but unfortunately it lacked the presence it has on the two-channel track. The occasional trumpet or guitar, mono-mixed into the center channel, also stuck out.
Overall, I loved the 5.1 track for its convincing soundstage and bass power, but the clear winner here is the 24/192 two-channel track.Kalman Rubinson

Dog woke up when the flea bit him and that started the whole thing. Dog woke up the other animals and they tried to wake up the sun. In the end, the animals thought the baby woke up the sun. They were nice to the baby.
My favorite part was when Dog was waking up Pig. Pig was tired and he said to the dog," be quiet!" He told Dog that the sun was not up yet. I liked it when Dog and Pig looked in the well for the sun.
There were characters that I liked in the story. The dog and the chicken were my favorite characters. They were funny when they looked for the sun.
There are illustrations in the book on every page. They are colorful and they have lots of details about the farm. The farm animals have many different expressions on their faces. I liked the illustrations in this book a lot.
I recommend this book to kindergarteners to third graders. The printing in this book is big print. Kids who like animals would like this book.

The sofas will not be DFS-branded and the placement will be advertised on air only once, with a message shown on-screen during today's show.
The deal is understood to be worth a low six-figure sum and was brokered by DFS' media agency MediaCom's Beyond Advertising division.
It includes an off-air licensing agreement allowing DFS to use the 'This Morning' logo in-store and online and a dedicated area of ITV.com showcasing the partnership, DFS product ranges and competitions.
'This Morning' secured the first product placement deal in UK commercial television history in February 2011, after media regulator Ofcom liberalised rules. Nestle coffee brand Dolce Gusto paid a sum believed to be £100,000 to have its coffee machine placed in the kitchen, which was arranged by Mindshare.
While the Dolce Gusto deal has lapsed, a second deal was agreed in September 2012 by ZenithOptimedia branded content agency Newcast for B&Q to supply the kitchen for the programme for two years.
ITV's other PP deals include a Nationwide cash machine in 'Coronation Street' and Samsung technology in 'The X Factor'.

In Tanzania, an Orphan Gets an Education Thanks to Wildlife
- Date: October 01, 2013
As an orphan in the Tanzanian town of Namtumbo, Juma Ndimbo had little hope of attending secondary school, much less college. The fees for schooling were more than his impoverished family could afford. Subsistence farming barely allowed his grandparents, aunt, and seven younger siblings to make ends meet.
Ndimbo's ticket to education came from a different source—the Mbarang'andu Wildlife Management Area (WMA) near his home. Mbarang'andu is one of Tanzania's WMAs created under an official land-use designation that allows local residents to benefit from governing an area's natural resources sustainably. Since 2006, WWF has been assisting the WMA through various activities, such as development of its general management plan, and capacity building for the WMA leadership and Village Game Scouts.
A home to charismatic species
Mbarang'andu, which borders Selous Game Reserve, shelters various species of wildlife including elephants, lions, crocodiles, hippopotamus, and many other charismatic species. Birds such as the knob-billed duck, southern ground hornbill, and bateleur eagle grace its rivers and trees.
The WMA generates revenue for its communities from sustainable use of natural resources, including bee-keeping and fishing. The funds are used to improve educational and administrative facilities, such as providing desks to schools and financing construction of offices. The money also funds scholarships for orphans such as Ndimbo to attend secondary school.
"I don't think I would have been able to attend secondary school without the WMA help," said Ndimbo. "And if I did so, I think it would have been in very critical circumstances."
Preparing for a brighter future
Now 24-years old, he is studying for his bachelor of arts degree in history at the University of Dodoma. Without the scholarship that allowed him to prepare for college, he believes that he would now be either farming with his family or working as a driver, like many of his peers.
His goals include conducting research on the social effects of tobacco cultivation and the socio-political and economic development of the Ndendeule ethnic group. He dreams of eventually pulling his family out of poverty and is soon planning to start an organization to help other young people afford education, especially in technical colleges. The group will provide counseling on a range of issues, including early marriage and cultural and natural resources management.
"Nowadays the destruction of natural resources in our community is very high and I think this is due to the lack of knowledge," he said. The WMA can act as a forum to educate and engage local people on environmental conservation.
"Let me take this opportunity to thank the WMA on the behalf of my community for what it done for my community," Ndimbo said. "My community gains so much from the WMA."

Supreme concerns
Chief Justice Robert appears to have recovered from a seizure that put him briefly in the hospital. Thank goodness.
In a Supreme Court as divided as the present one, the health of Justices is front-page news. The viciousness of fights over Court appointments arises in part from Congress and the President having injected federal law into every nook and cranny of life, thereby placing everything we do within the court's scrutiny. Additional fault lies with the courts, which over the last 50 years have taken an increasingly aggressive posture vis-a-vis the states and the other federal branches. Some might say this trend slackened with the Rhenquist and Roberts Courts, while others will argue that this aggression simply took a different turn.
Whether you like the trend or not, another fact is that greater life expectancies have substantially increased the tenure of the Justices. Old age brings inevitable mental decline, and can also bring emotional instability. Long service on the bench also triggers a condition known to the bar as robe-itis, where a judge has lost perspective on his relative importance in the world. Too often justices believe themselves to be the special guardians of particular segments of the population. This is bad for the law and for our republic.
I don't think the founding fathers, when they provided for unlimited judicial terms, anticipated people regularly serving on the bench for decades, and they certainly could not have expected widespread service by people in their 70s and 80s. As much as I admire the work of Justice Thomas, for example, I don't think it's good for the country to have him on the court for 40 years.
The time has come for service limits for Supreme Court Justices, somewhere in the 12-18 year range. If the reach of federal law and the aggressiveness of modern judging make nominating and confirming a Supreme Court Justice inevitably contentious, we can reduce the harm to the law and the country by lowering the stakes. Term limits will do this by increasing the frequency and regularity of appointments. Limits will also force the Justices to think more seriously about continuity in their jurisprudence, since they won't be able to cement a legacy simply through long service.

text: Colleagues, I notice from time to time the phenomenon of an OT quote or even allusion in the NT where a translation committee used a different gloss. This Sunday's lectionary text includes 1Cor 10:7. NRSV 1Cor 10:7 GenevaDo not become idolaters as some of them did; as it is written, "The people sat down to eat and drink, and they rose up to play." And the GNT is ... kai anestesan paizein. LXX has the same for Ex 32:6 Geneva0000,0000,D400But the NRSV committee has for Ex. 32:6Genevab and the people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to revel. Why not use the same gloss for paizein? The Hebrew allows for it. They didn't even make enough effort to be consistent with the unnecessary "they". Should this not be a consideration when creating a translation for public consumption? It is a minor point but it helps in making connections, though I realize the subjectivity of the principle when applied to allusions, as exemplified in type/anti-type biblical interpretation. Just curious for other thoughts, really. eirene umin, Joe ********************************************* Joseph A.

"A" My Name is Alice,. Mixed Media Paintings by Mina CohenName: "A" My Name is Alice,. Mixed Media Paintings by Mina CohenDate: June 20, 2018Time: 11:00 AM - 5:00 PM PDTWebsite: http://partnersgallery.comEvent Description:'A' My Name is Alice
Mixed Media Paintings by Mina Cohen
May 31 to July 2
First Friday Reception June 1st, 5-8pm
Wine served by Handley Cellars
Mina Cohen's exhibit at Partners Gallery in June, entitled "'A' My Name is Alice" is divided into three series all based on the alphabet. As a child growing up in the 1950s she remembers a ball and alphabet rhyming game played out on the sidewalk.
These days she still plays this game in her head and finds this a distraction from more troubling thoughts. In the first of the three series, the rhymes are intriguing or nonsensical or have a political or social edge.
The second series, inspired by her students' resonance with Munch's "The Scream", is based on an alphabetical list of places associated with our current political climate. A portion of the proceeds from this series will be donated to SPLC, ACLU, or NRDC.
The final series is purely an "arts for art's sake" exploration of the alphabet and the textures, colors and patterns of alphabet blocks.

Post by Stefan Van Eycken, Tokyo
Interestingly, the new Coffey Malt will only be available in Europe. This may ring a bell or two... In September 2012, Nikka launched a standard Coffey Grain expression in Europe which came in 500ml bottles. In June 2013, they also started selling this expression in Japan, albeit in 700ml bottles. The new Coffey Malt for Europe will be in 700ml bottles, and for the Coffey Grain they are also switching to that size in Europe, so basically, everything will be 700ml from January of next year. Both expressions are bottled at 45% and both will be priced at around 53 euro.
This is exciting news and further proof that Nikka is taking its presence in markets abroad (Europe and the US, in particular) very seriously. Sales abroad have been up 160% this year compared with last year (i.e. 2012). Fans here at home are no doubt hoping the same pattern (an initial release in Europe, followed by a roll-out in the domestic market) will be followed with the Coffey Malt.

Good effort to make more variety available outside of Japan, but having said that, I feel they could also look at releasing more single cask offerings in the future.

Couldn't agree more. They used to release a fair bit of single casks, but this year has been pretty miserly. Here's hoping they've got more lined up for next year.

Indeed... nothing quite like the excitement/anticipation of an impending new (single cask) release. On the side, I'm still dreaming for a permanent line of ex-sherry cask offerings to materialise.

By matching maps of snow and ice amounts with maps of net radiation flux for the same time frame, students will use the Live Access Server to explore how the net radiation flux has affected the snow and ice amounts in the Northern Hemisphere, as well as how the presence of snow can affect the net
To determine if data values are reasonable, students need to understand the units of measurement and be able to estimate the expected range of values in data.
In this lesson, students consider observations and inferences to determine the support for each of two theories on the origin of the universe: Steady State and Big Bang.
In this multi-day activity, students use infrared and visible images of animals and sort them into broad categories based upon the learner's own reasoning and observations of the images.
This collection features images taken by the Chandra X-ray Observatory, including image descriptions and comparison with optical images. Search options include chronological listings, images by category, and images by interest such as multi-wavelength and top rated images.
In this textbook chapter, students learn about the source of the Earth's internal heat engine, convection in the Earth's core, the role of superplumes in Earth's history, and the influence of tectonic activity on the Earth's climate.
In this problem set, learners will create and use a differential equation of rate-of-change of atmospheric carbon dioxide.
This is an animated and narrated storybook about the Sun and its effects on Earth. Learners will read or hear about characteristics of the Sun and Earth that influence their interaction.
Learners will use hot and cold water to see how fluids at different temperature move around in convection currents. This activity is from the DIY Sun Science app and is for ages 10 and up.
This lesson plan will provide a concrete way for students to understand the concept of distance in space equals distance in time. This is done using information gathered from a timeline activity in Lesson 1: Earth, the Universe, and Culture.

Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick announced a $3 million capital investment in the Massachusetts Open Cloud (MOC) project, a university-industry collaboration designed to create a new public cloud infrastructure to spur big data innovation.
Unlike existing proprietary public clouds, where all of the technology is controlled by a single entity, the goal of the MOC is to establish a marketplace where hardware capacity, software and services can be supplied, purchased and resold by many participants.
The MOC will provide a range of services, including infrastructure as a service, which offers on-demand access to virtual machines, as well as application development and big data platform services via the cloud.
MOC is hosted at the Massachusetts Green High Performance Computing Center in Holyoke.
The MOC project is a collaboration that draws from all five MGHPCC universities, including overall project leadership from Boston University, operational leadership from Harvard University, development from Northeastern University, community building from MIT and related research by faculty from the University of Massachusetts, Boston University, Northeastern University, Harvard University and MIT.
Industry partners, including Cisco, EMC, SGI, Red Hat, Juniper, Canonical, Dell, Intel, Mellanox, Brocade, DataDirect Networks, Mathworks, Plexxi, Cambridge Computer Services, Enterprise DB and Riverbed are contributing engineering and operational talent, equipment, financial support and business guidance. The hardware platform for the Massachusetts Open Cloud will be housed at the MGHPCC.
Gov. Patrick also announced the 2014 Mass Big Data Report, which confirms the continued growth and competitiveness of the commonwealth's big data industry.
"Massachusetts' competitive edge lies in our exceptional academic institutions, cutting-edge private companies, highly-skilled workforce and above all our willingness to work together to address the increasing demand for big data solutions," said Governor Patrick.
Overall, the report finds that the global big data market is expected to top $48 billion by 2017, up from $11.6 billion in 2012. While hardware and services are expected to continue to account for the greatest share of revenue, the fastest growing sector is likely to be in big data-enabled applications.
For Massachusetts, big data applications in healthcare, life sciences and financial services appear highly promising, and local firms are seeking to fill as many as 3,000 big data-related jobs in the region over the next 12 months.

Embattled comedian Katt Williams has announced his retirement from the stage just a day after he was arrested for his part in a bar fight in Seattle, Wash.
The arrest is the latest in a long line of legal woes for the comedian.
In a rambling interview with KOMO TV on Monday night, Williams announced his current stand-up tour has been cancelled – and he is planning to retire from stand-up.
The star said, "I'm just gonna go ahead and announce my retirement from stand-up, I'm kinda done. I've discussed it with my kids, I wasn't gonna do (it) in the middle of a Seattle street, I was going to go to Los Angeles and do it in the offices of ICM or LiveNation."
Williams also told the street reporters he had been kicked out of four Seattle hotels in recent days, but didn't explain further. He also joked that he was considering buying the up-for-auction Washington State Ferry Rhododendron so he had a place to stay.
He said, "I can stay (on the ferry), and my family can be there, and my dogs can be there, and my whole staff can be there, until we get done suing Seattle for this $50 million that I want for crippling my reputation as a father, and a black man, and as a taxpaying citizen, and as a person who is not a convicted felon."
Williams was released from jail early on Monday following his arrest at the World Sports Grille on Sunday.
He was booked for charges of assault, harassment and obstruction.
It has since emerged that he was also involved in a fight with three fans on Friday after they forced their way into his dressing room before a show.

One of the biggest gripes about the iPhone is that its speaker isn't nearly loud enough for many people. This problem was exacerbated early on because the iPhone's alerts were originally too quiet to begin with. Apple themselves have fixed this problem by allowing you to change, say, the SMS alert volume. There's also rumblings that Apple has quietly introduced louder speaker on iPhones manufactured more recently.
But if you're one of those crazy early adopters, not only are you stuck with less money in your pocket (because of that unprecedented price drop), you're also stuck with a quiet iPhone in your pocket as well. What to do? well, according to skorpiond at modmyifone,
I grabbed a needle and sticked it into every single tiny hold on the bottom left corner of the iPhone. I think it was dirty in there or something because now this **** is EXACTLY how I wanted it since day one... LOUD!!! I really hope I didn't mess up the speaker though.
...So basically you engage in some warranty-voiding dangerfun with your iPhone -- presumably popping the protective cover over the speaker. Anybody brave enough to try this? We at Phone different already absolutely destroyed our first iPhone in the Video takeapart, so we're a little gunshy about voiding more warranties.

(11/P107) TRENTON - The Department of Environmental Protection today reminded commercial and recreational harvesters that all shellfish beds in the state remain closed as a result of the passage of Hurricane Irene.
The Department of Health and Senior Services urges commercial and recreational harvesters, certified shellfish dealers, and the public to observe all harvesting restrictions because ingesting shellfish from closed beds could potentially cause illness.
The commercial harvest ban has been in effect since Aug. 27 due to concerns about degradation of water quality in more than 720,000 acres of shellfish beds in the state's ocean waters and estuaries. Bivalves such as clams, oysters and mussels are filter feeders that can accumulate harmful bacteria carried into waterways by stormwater.
Testing this week indicated that bacteria levels exceeded the federal criteria set to protect the public in the consumption of shellfish.
The DEP will continue to test waters at shellfish beds across the state. Once the water meets the federal standard, a minimum of seven days must pass before the tissue is tested to ensure no bacteria are present in the shellfish. This process ensures bacteria have had a chance to be flushed from the shellfish.
The harvest ban applies only to shellfish such as clams, oysters, mussels, scallops, etc. and does not apply to crustaceans, such as crabs.
The DEP works with the New Jersey Department of Health and Senior Services and U.S. Food and Drug Administration to ensure that shellfish are safely harvested in state waters.
The DEP monitors, classifies and enforces shellfish regulations in 425,830 acres of estuarine beds and 295,857 acres of ocean beds.
The DHSS Food Safety Program regularly inspects shellfish processing plants to ensure they follow regulations that outline health and safety precautions. Shellfish samples are regularly collected from harvest areas, certified shellfish dealers and retailers for bacteriological examination.
The program oversees a certification program which requires all wholesale shellfish dealers to handle, process, and ship shellfish under sanitary conditions and maintain records verifying that the shellfish were obtained from approved areas.

[Verse 1]
Who's back? Do you have to ask
Fire, I'm the gas and match
I dance with the devil; every track, I do the Cabbage Patch
I'm in the wrong habitat
A lion in a rabbit match
You the dude on the mat
Getting elbowed in a Randy Savage match
Imagine that -- you in a bandage wrap, y'all should have backed off
Thought you was losing your mind, now your head getting hacked off
Your baby momma wack -- you'd have been better if you'd have jacked off
Now your kid like your car -- niggas asking, "How much did that cost?"
Never satisfied, I say my best line's my next line
I got Sav and Mo's phones blowing up like a request line
The same stage I rock'll be the one that I get killed on
That means I'll die in the blink of a eye
For what hip-hop was built on
A king, so watch the throne like this is Kanye with a kilt on
Feed off respect, I'm hungry -- that's the reason I keep going
The scary part about all this is that I'm still growing
Planted a seed of doubt in niggas' minds, now it's a field growing
Best in the world, you say I'm not
Even though my shit is hot every time I drop?
I just don't give a fuck
Get on the blogs, leave comments hating on all of my songs?
Well, fuck y'all
I just don't give a fuck
They try to hate like they can't see that I'm great
Well, go ahead and save face
I just don't give a fuck
Cause I'm here to bring the pain
With my middle finger to the game cause
I just don't give a fuck
[Verse 2]
I don't give a fuck if you don't like me
What if I don't like you?
I ain't ask your opinion on what beats you think I should write to
Before I do, I'll be suicidal watching American Idol
At my head with a rifle while I'm quoting the Bible
This rap shit is draining me like lipo
Going psycho cause half the time I can't remember what the fuck I write for
I ain't just good, I'm a God -- that's a typo
With Jon Connor, one thing you should believe is the hype, bro
This is the evolution, more like the execution
Rappers got prices on they head like I'm selling humans
I'm just selling music, them niggas selling stupid
And y'all buy it; it's confusing like a Rubik's Cube is
But I just move through it
I got my own agenda
I'm making dinner out contenders and I won't surrender
Niggas make records about me that I don't remember
Cause I'm too busy being me so fuck you, nigga
Connor rips a couple of vicious verses over the beat from Eminem's original

Jeff Childers necesitaba un nuevo diseño de papelería y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 57 diseños de 21 diseñadores freelance.
Smart, accessible legal help / http://www.smartbizlaw.com
New law firm. We ran a prior contest for a logo design and have selected a winner. We are now running an entirely new contest for the stationery package.
We provide services to both the greater Gainesville and Orlando, Florida areas. We haven't selected an office in Orlando yet. Also, our office in Gainesville may be moved within a year. Therefore we want a design that doesn't focus on the addresses but does focus on the two cities.
You can find a downloadable ZIP of all the graphics at the following web page, which also shows the logo in various forms for quick inspection:
Title for business card: Attorney at Law
Gainesville address:
ChildersLaw, LLC
Sixth Street Executive Center
1330 NW Sixth Street, Suite C
Gainesville, FL 32601
tel 866-996-6104
fax 407-209-3870
net email@example.com
url http://www.smartbizlaw.com
Let me know if there are any other basic points of info needed for this project.
We market to both individuals as well as small to medium sized businesses in the greater Gainesville and Orlando, Florida, areas.
1. Business card design. Doesn't need to have the physical address on it (since we serve two cities).
2. Letterhead - first and second sheets. Note from the download materials that we have a couple watermark designs. Watermarks are not required but provided in case you can use them effectively in the design.
3. Envelope design sized for #10 business envelope.
4. Fax cover sheet.
*5. I will increase the contest reward just before awarding by $75 if you indicate that you can provide Word templates for producing the letterhead (both first and second+ sheets), fax cover, and envelopes on our color printer.
Deliverable: all graphics in EPS printer-ready format, and AI for any new graphic elements, plus a selection of JPG formats. Preferably will be in a format that we can edit easily as our core info changes (addresses, phone #s. etc).
Logo files: http://www.smartbizlaw.com/stationery-project/
The design should lend gravitas to compete with more established firms.
UPDATE (based on questions from contestant)
As to the stationery. I'm looking for something with a delicate, professional, elegant look. Should employ the same color scheme as the logo. I DO like:
• White space
• A narrow left-hand column on stationery for address and communications info (especially leaving room for the Orlando address when we get it)
• Business card doesn't have to have address info on it, because will be two busy with both offices.
• Reference to both cities in which we provide services: gainesville ~ orlando
• Playing with lower case ("tel fax net url") and coloring (e.g. tel (blue) 866-996-6104 (black))
• Stationery that has a place to laser-print the particular staff person's name and contact info
• An attractive second sheet that shows care and attention to detail with less graphic (e.g. maybe small logo in header or footer and selection of place and font for printing page # or page # of #).
I do NOT like:
- Heavy solid borders
- Borders of any kind to the edge of the page (my experience is these increase printing cost and make printing our own off the color laser impossible)
- Logo / address / comm info dominating the page for stationery
Deliverable files optimally should be something we can edit (when addresses or tel numbers change, e.g.).
