No, both these were AV stations. The other picture in this thread was not one of these.

Seems to be a CHAdeMO standard. Most of the pictures of the CHAdeMO chargers I've seen (admittedly never seen one in person yet) seem to use blue for start and green for stop. Weird, I agree.
well i have used a few of them and our "standard" is green-go, red-stop

Burning DVDs in Debian Lenny
Burning DVDs in Debian
Every now and then every user needs to make a permanent copy of something. A system backup, important pictures or documents, backups for the car or whatever. You can still enjoy this burning love with Debian, you just need to install a couple of things first.
There are third party packages that take care of all the burning for you like 'K3b' or 'xcdroast', but my linux 'tutor' insisted I try it this way first.
There is a package called dvd+rw-tools which will install 'growisofs' to burn DVD images or create a data DVD, 'dvd+rw-format' to format a DVD+RW and 'dvd+rw-mediainfo' to give details about the disks.
To install:
#apt-get install dvd+rw-tools
To initialize the disk:
#dvd+rw-format /dev/scd1
To write a directory to DVD:
#growisofs -Z /dev/scd1 -R -J /home/music Change the directories to suit your needs
To burn an image to DVD:
#growisofs -Z /dev/scd1=image.iso
If you want to burn media DVDs then you will need a few other packages. Check your Synaptic package manager for libdvdcss2. This will enable your system to read encrypted media if you want to make a backup of one of them.
If you want to burn movies then you will need gstreamer and w32codecs. These allow you to play around with the source files a bit more. If those two files don't appear in your repository then you can search for them using the keyword 'codec'. Worked for me.
The software option we will be using is K9Copy. I like it because it's simple, straightforward and just does the job. Not much configuration needed. As above, someone also suggested I try K3b for the burning as it is another 'newbie friendly' package for burning media. I tried it and liked it. Very easy!
So, to burn a movie DVD, launch K9Copy and select the settings menu, then Configure. Select DVD and change the destination directory to whatever you need. Select MP4, the then Xvid option,2 pass. Set the audio to AC3 and your desired file size. The default for a standard DVD is 4.4Gb.
With the configuration done, now it's time to choose. Do you really need Spanish subtitles or the little interviews or DVD extras? Now you can choose exactly what you want on your new disk. I would suggest ticking the 'Keep original menus' box however.
The idea here is to not copy all the stuff you don't need This will leave more space for a better quality copy. You only have so much space and the more you dedicate to the movie and sound files, the better quality movie you will end up with.
Ensure the 'ISO image' output is selected and click on Copy. Then you can sit back and relax as the software takes care of everything else for you!
As usual, I'm not advocating piracy here, but you are allowed to make a single backup of original media you own. For you car pc lovers out there you wouldn't want all your original DVDs in your glovebox would you?
We have Debian DVDs sets

It's CEO v CEO in Oracle v Google
The chief executives of Oracle and Google took center stage in court overnight as Google's lawyers argued Oracle is trying to hitch a ride on Google's success after abandoning the idea of building its own smartphone.
Oracle CEO Larry Ellison and Google CEO Larry Page both appeared on the stand in Oracle's high stakes lawsuit against Google over the Android operating system. Ellison, 67, is a Silicon Valley veteran while Page, 39, cuts a younger and more unpolished figure.
Oracle sued Google in August 2010, saying Google's Android mobile operating system tramples its intellectual property rights to the Java programming language. Google says it does not violate Oracle's patents and that Oracle cannot copyright certain parts of Java - an open-source or publicly available software language.
"I think we did nothing wrong," said Google CEO Larry Page as he testified for about 20 minutes toward the end of day two of the jury trial. He is expected to continue on Wednesday.
Oracle acquired Java when bought Sun Microsystems in 2010. In 2009, Oracle considered the feasibility of buying BlackBerry-maker Research in Motion (RIM) and Palm to make a foray into the mobile device market, Ellison testified.
But Ellison said Oracle ultimately decided against pursuing its own phone after weeks of analysis.
He told the packed federal courtroom in San Francisco that Google was the only corporation he knew of that had not taken one of three types of Java licences. He said other companies ranging from Samsung to Amazon.com had taken licences.
"Just because something is open-source doesn't mean you can do whatever you want with it," Ellison testified.
Billionaire Ellison, clad in a conservative dark blue suit and red tie, was relaxed on the stand as Oracle attorney David Boies asked him to outline the attractions of Java for programmers. Ellison is no stranger to court, having testified in 2010 against SAP in a copyright lawsuit.
Ellison was then repeatedly questioned by Google's lawyer, who zeroed in on his idea to build an Oracle smartphone to battle Apple and Google.
Ellison denied ever having approached Google about building smartphone software together, and said smartphones turned out to be "a bad idea" of his.
"The idea was building the smartphone using Java FX and then charge carriers like Verizon for it," he said. Ellison said that they had debated the merits of every option to crack the smartphone market, including buying RIM, which he said was too expensive at the time, and Palm, which Hewlett-Packard ended up acquiring.
Ellison contends that in 2010, he tried to persuade Google's then-CEO Eric Schmidt and current CEO Page to take on a newer version of Java in Android, and make Android more compatible with industry standards. Those talks proved fruitless.
Ellison kept a straight face under cross-examination, while Page rarely looked at Oracle attorney David Boies but instead consistently smiled at the jury as Boies delivered his questions. At one point, Boies asked Page if he ever inquired whether Google copied Java code for Android.
"I don't recall asking anyone that," Page said.
No inroads
Google attorney Robert Van Nest acknowledged that Google executives had once negotiated for a potential partnership with Sun, before Oracle acquired it, to develop Android.
"When those negotiations failed, Google engineers built Android on their own without any Sun technology whatsoever," Van Nest said in his opening argument.
The lawyer said Oracle tried but failed to make inroads into the smartphone market around 2009 or 2010 and is now trying to grab a slice of Android, which is built partly with the open Java software language pioneered by Sun.
Van Nest played a video of Ellison telling former Sun Microsystems Chairman Scott McNealy at a public event that he welcomed Google's "Java devices" and saw no reason Oracle-Sun should not have several of its own.
The trial before US District Judge William Alsup started on Monday April 16 and is expected to last at least eight weeks.

Some high school students in Massachusetts were shocked to discover their personal Facebook information, including photos, are being used are on a porn site, according to media reports.
The FBI is investigating the case at Bay Path Technical Vocational Regional High School in Charlton, Mass.
New England Cable News is reporting:
Late last month, a parent and some students notified school officials about the pictures on the unnamed site. The school investigated and found the pictures of 17 students there–some as young as 14 years old.
… There was also personal information posted with the pictures, their names and where they went to school. While the Bay Path students were clothed in their pictures, the site also had pictures of nude children on it. The school contacted police, and police contacted the FBI.
… Police say the privacy settings on the students Facebook accounts allowed access to the photos and the information, but both police and school officials say the kids aren't to blame. Students agree.

The first of the Brood II cicadas, which only mature every 17 years, are being spotted in some southern states including Virginia. NBC's Brian Williams reports.
There's been a groundswell of 17-year cicadas in Virginia and other southern states, as revealed by a fresh wave of photos and eyewitness reports. In some areas, the outbreak has been accompanied by the insects' loud chorus call. And that's music to the ears of University of Connecticut entomologist John Cooley.
"That's where I'm heading," Cooley told NBC News. The weather is still too cool in New England and the New York City area for a full-blown Brood II emergence, so Cooley is planning a field trip to watch the insects rise up in Virginia.
This is the big year for Brood II cicadas, which are expected to emerge from the ground in the billions over an area of the East Coast ranging from North Carolina up to Connecticut. The bugs are hard-wired to spend 17 years underground, feeding on the fluid from plant roots, and then pop up during the appointed spring when the soil temperature reaches 64 degrees Fahrenheit (18 degrees Celsius).
For weeks, bug-watchers have been posting their sightings (and soil temperature readings) to websites such as Cooley's Magicicada.org and RadioLab's Cicada Tracker. Another website maintained by the Sutron weather information network tracks the soil temperature in Washington, D.C.
When the winged cicadas throng, they can cover trees and buildings — and raise a din as loud as a lawnmower or jet engine (90 decibels). Over the course of four to six weeks in May and June, the bugs mate, lay their eggs and die, setting the 17-year life cycle in motion once again. (Scientists theorize that there are evolutionary advantages to the long, odd-numbered cycle.)
Although the cicadas have been patiently waiting for 17 years, some cicada-watchers up north are getting impatient with the pace of the emergence. Cooley said the relatively slow pace may be due to this spring's cool temperatures. In order to bring the soil up to 64 degrees F, air temperatures have to get significantly higher than that on a consistent basis.
"I want 80s and 90s," he said, "and so do the cicadas."

Europa Law Publishing
European and Dutch Water LawTerug
Water law has become more and more important over the last decades. Starting as part of European environmental law it now develops towards integrated water management based on a river basin management approach. The focus broadens from the protection and improvement of water quality towards sustainable use of water as a natural resource combined with the protection against flooding, protection of the marine environment and safe drinking water and fresh water supply. The right to water is recognized by the European Union but will have its effect through European water directives. This development has its impact on the law of the national member states.
In this book modern European water law and its implementation in the Netherlands is being described and analyzed. The Netherlands has a long history in water management, both regarding governance and management. Its legal system dates from the 12th century and it is an example of a resilient legal system that has been able to adapt towards necessary water management in the 21th century; a time in which countries have to deal with the effects of climate change and in which the water needs of millions of people must be guaranteed in a fair and sustainable way.
The book deals both with general concepts as the right to water, leading principles, transnational river basin management, the programmatic approach, shared responsibilities and the financing of water management based on the principle of cost recovery for water services.
There is specific attention for the recent integration in European and Dutch water law as a result of the European Water Framework Directive and the typical Dutch organization of regional water management by regional water authorities.
The main water issues like the protection of water quality, the protection against flooding, fresh water supply, drinking water supply, waste water collection and treatment, the relation with spatial planning and the protection of the marine environment are being discussed from both a European and a Dutch perspective.
This book is also available as Ebook.

Prof. Marleen van Rijswick is Professor of European and Dutch water law at Centre for environmental law and policy at Utrecht University (The Netherlands). Dr. Herman Havekes is strategic policy advisor to the Dutch Association of Regional Water Authorities.

'Teen Mom' Amber Portwood Has Checked Into Rehab — For 30 to 60 Days!
Amber's friend tells HollyBaby.com that the troubled MTV star will be in a Malibu rehab facility for up to two months.
Teen Mom Amber Portwood, 21, has decided to get help — and we're here to support her! Amber checked into a rehab facility in Malibu on Sunday, June 28, after she was hospitalized and resting at home following her scary suicide attempt.
A close friend of Amber's tells HollyBaby.com: "Amber told me she will be in rehab between 30-60 days. It is her first time in rehab."
"Amber is dealing with a lot of stressful issues right now," the source adds. "People judge her all the time because of the things they have seen on the show — she hasn't been portrayed in the best light at times but she is human and has feelings. She shouldn't have to deal with hateful fans telling her they wish she would just die. She loves Leah to death and wants nothing but the best for her, she wants her daughter and she wants to live happily."
We hope Amber gets the help she needs!

If you got points for impressive pars, it would've been Tiger Woods' day ... but the man couldn't squeeze a birdie out of his Sunday round to save his life. Angel Cabrera, who shot a very impressive 69, is your winner. Oh well. I'm sure he has a dad, too.
But it's another major championship without a signature highlight. When people think about the 2007 US Open, they'll think about Tiger missing the last putt, about Baddeley falling apart all day long, about how Cabrera won the trophy while sitting in the clubhouse, despite playing the last 3 holes at +2. I don't know where golf got the idea that people want to see bogeys more than they want to see birdies.
Elsewhere tonight, there's the Mets vs. Yankees game on ESPN, and you won't want to miss Chris Berman's Open recap on ESPN News. Enjoy your Sunday evening, gang.

A Texas congressman – chairman of oversight and investigations for the House Committee on Homeland Security – is criticizing the Obama administration for easing the impact of yesterday's U.S. Supreme Court ruling on unlawful immigrants in Arizona.
Rep. Michael McCaul, a Republican from Austin, says the Obama administration "has placed politics ahead of good government and taken the law into its own hands when it didn't get what it wanted from Congress or the Supreme Court."
Suspension of the so-called 287(g) program hours after the high court upheld "papers please" questioning by Arizona law enforcement "takes away the most effective link" between local police and sheriffs' offices and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, McCaul said.
The administration action, coupled with President Obama's decision last week to permit an estimated 800,000 children of unlawful immigrants to remain in the United States shows the White House is prepared to bypass decisions by both the Supreme Court and Congress, McCaul said.
A former federal prosecutor and deputy state attorney general, McCaul commented a day after the Obama administration softened the on-the-street impact of the Supreme Court decision upholding the right of Arizona law enforcement to ask individuals about their immigration status if they were stopped for suspicion of a crime.
In the wake of the court ruling, Homeland Security chief Janet Napolitano, a former governor, attorney general and federal prosecutor in Arizona, halted the program in Arizona that deputized local and state law enforcement officers to help enforce federal immigration laws — and provided Arizona authorities' instant access to the immigration database used to determine the legal status of questioned or arrested suspects.

U.S. lawmakers take opposite sides on Ky. hemp bill
Members of state delegation join debate over legalizing industrial hemp.
LOUISVILLE, Ky. -- The two most senior members of Kentucky's federal congressional delegation have taken opposite sides in the debate over legalizing industrial hemp in Kentucky.
U.S. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell announced Thursday that he is supporting the effort to legalize the product -- saying he's been convinced of its economic potential for Kentucky's farmers and his state's economy.
STORY: Effort to legalize hemp gains new life in Kentucky
But U.S. Rep. Hal Rogers, the 5th District Republican who chairs the House Appropriations Committee, said in a statement later in the day that he remains unconvinced that the economic potential outweighs the concerns of law enforcement.
Kentucky Senate Bill 50, pushed by state Agriculture Commissioner James Comer, would allow production of industrial hemp if the federal government reclassified the plant as separate from marijuana.
Hemp seeds produce plants with less than 1 percent THC, the active ingredient in marijuana, which has between 3 percent and 15 percent THC.
The Kentucky State Police oppose the bill, saying it would make enforcement efforts against marijuana, which looks identical to hemp, more difficult. Also opposing the bill are the Kentucky Narcotic Officers' Association and Operation UNITE, an Eastern Kentucky drug eradication group founded by Rogers.
Besides McConnell, a Republican, the bill is backed by GOP Sen. Rand Paul, Democratic Rep. John Yarmuth and Rep. Thomas Massie, a Republican, all three of whom are scheduled to testify Feb. 11 before the Senate Agriculture Committee.
Supporters of the bill say they believe it will pass the Senate and go to the House, where it faces a more uncertain future. Agriculture Committee Chairman Tom McKee, a Democrat, has blocked similar bills from getting a vote in the past and has said the complaints of law enforcement concern him.
McConnell's statement said he'd discussed the issue with Paul and Comer at length.
"I am convinced that allowing its production will be a positive development for Kentucky's farm families and economy," McConnell said in his statement. "Commissioner Comer has assured me that his office is committed to pursuing industrialized hemp production in a way that does not compromise Kentucky law enforcement's marijuana eradication efforts or in any way promote illegal drug use."
Comer welcomed McConnell's support, noting in a statement that his backing "adds immeasurable strength to our efforts to bring good jobs to Kentucky."
The bill, sponsored by Senate Agriculture Committee Chairman Paul Hornback, R-Shelbyville, was filed earlier in January. Hornback said yesterday that he expects the bill to pass his committee Feb. 11 and later pass the 38-member Senate, where Comer has said the bill has more than enough support.
The bill would require growers to be licensed annually and undergo a background check by the Agriculture Department. Each licensee would be required to plant a minimum of 10 acres, a provision meant to keep licenses from people who are not serious about the effort.
Growers would have to keep sales contracts for three years and provide names of hemp buyers to the department.
Rogers said in his statement that his "first concern is the challenge facing our thinly stretched marijuana eradication teams and law enforcement in visually distinguishing the two plants. This confusion and potential commingling lends itself to an easier path for illegal marijuana growth."
Rogers also questioned claims that hemp production would result in an "economic boon" for Kentucky as proponents claim.
"We need to focus on more important issues like enacting pension reform, getting our federal deficits under control and tackling the existing drug epidemic," Rogers said.
Comer spokeswoman Holly VonLuehrte said allowing industrial hemp would help create jobs to get people off drugs. "There's nothing more important than creating jobs for Kentuckians," she said.
Tommy Loving, executive director of the Kentucky Narcotic Officers' Association, said, "I think it would be foolish to say that this doesn't have some momentum," but he said he hopes the bill gets a fair hearing from the committee, "and I think if they do, they'll see that the law enforcement concerns outweigh what might come about (economically) if this were passed."
KSP spokesman Sgt. Rick Saint-Blancard said the agency's position is well known and "at the end of the day we hope that the decision is made on facts."
McKee did not return a call for comment Thursday.
VonLuehrte said Comer has received support for the bill in meetings throughout the state and that the bill deserves a vote in the House.
"If they (House leadership) ignore it, they ignore it to their peril," she said.

HUE+ (High-Yield Unit Extraction Plus)? is a method that is possible for a select number of patients that have moderate to above-average elasticity in their donor area. Simply put, in some patients it may be possible to achieve a donor tissue segment is wider than 1 cm. After the HUE donor tissue is taken out (30cm long and 1 cm wide), if the edges of tissue are able to be brought together easily and with very little tension, under the discretion of our Licensed Medical Doctors, more donor tissue can be harvested as the donor tissue segment is made wider. This results in upwards of 50cm2 of donor tissue being transplanted. The end-result is upwards of 10,000 hairs! Often the entire head is able to be covered in a single procedure! This is a unique process that traditional Strip Method known as FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation) and outdated FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) procedures can't even come close to in regards to the amount of hair transplanted.

There is a connection between political and material advancement.
In its last posting, Duly Noted reacted to a new catchphrase of the Left. The words that provoked the riposte were "can democracy survive capitalism?"
The response emphasized that the suggested incompatibility is a verbal trick. Freedom, as a system, cannot prevail without a matching economic order. That means laissez faire. Attempts to abolish the capitalism of individual holders will not produce a capital-free order. State capitalism is the achievable alternative. With the added economic means that order will complete total dictatorial control. Elites convinced of their moral superiority are tempted to welcome such an arrangement.
A special connection between concentrated economic and political power could not be included into the original essay. It was the crucial case of Mainland China that needs examination in a context that connects liberty and capitalism. Insert into that thought a "while maintaining single-party dictatorship".
From the modern perspective, we find a correlation between dictatorship and backwardness. At the dawn of what is by Western reckoning the Modern Era, we find tyrannies that have supported progress. The case of the "Enlightened Despots" comes to mind. So do "Prussian reforms". Peter the Great applied old-fashioned autocratic power to modernize his reluctant Russia. The motive of reforms by fiat was not the improvement of the lot of the common man. The goal was to enable useful subjects to bear the burden of expansion to dominate the region, and in the 20th century, the world.
The pursuit of power being its motor, modernization was wanted not for the sake of the subjects but for its military consequence. Through this process the "soldiers" became the most "modern" component of left-behind societies. Modernization pursued to attain more clout meant that, the updating would be followed by aggression and expansion. In Europe, Prussia's and Russia's example illustrate this. Japan's modernization during the Meiji Restoration – in reality a power-oriented revolution from above – fits the pattern. We may add that Ataturk's measures were also reactions to weakness and a nationalist resistance to humiliations. It is to be underlined that democratization has not been the motive of accelerated modernization ordained from "above." In practice, increasing efficiency and augmenting freedom are separated entities.
Admittedly, the modernization initiated from "below" by society, enabled a middleclass to rise. These efforts were not only progressive in intent but also "democratic" in their effect and augmented the international might of the state. America's rise and England's role as a world power are suitable examples.
China's modernization is unfolding. Notable is that it happens in response to the will of a single party dictatorship. The power monopoly of the Party is not based on a majority but is justified by political orthodoxy. It does not matter that this orthodoxy cannot invoke centuries as its precedent. The ruling orthodoxy is legitimized by a modernistic secular faith, namely Marxism.
Marxism sold itself as an answer to industrialization's problems and was meant to show the way to the perfect social order based upon material progress. In reality, Marxism made bad economics into a dogma. Regardless of its claimed progressiveness, where it became state doctrine, it cemented backwardness and hindered development. By this standard, the ultimate Marxist society is found in North Korea's praxis. If we extrapolate from Communism's record, what has evolved and continues to evolve in China is rather unexpected.
China combines a tyranny with progress through state controlled capitalism. Unusual is that China's economy is internationally competitive. A reminder: German National Socialism combined totalitarian power with reliance on an inherited advanced economy. Thanks to the limited freedom of enterprise, the Nazi's approach resulted in a highly competitive military economy. Peking's stash of America's debt substantiates the claim of success – even if abetted by an American majority's consent to bankrupt the country. We are left here with the image of an authoritarian system that modernizes in order to improve its bite. This juncture demands a caveat. Knowing history provides useful precedents to hone judgments. However, understanding history demands that the shift of the fundamentals be recognized.
Contemporary modernization requires new qualities. From a work and resource based economy we have gone to a skill and innovation based one. Originality, flexibility and entrepreneurial skills are crucial. China's success is the result of a mixing capitalism and dictatorship. This raises the question, whether the required capitalism is compatible with the dictatorship. China's leadership, as affirmed lately, is determined to maintain a one party-system run according to the matching centralistic blueprint.
This concept demands the coexistence of the authoritarian political system and the increasingly free market oriented economy. This ignores the difficulty of indulging in two things at the same time. One is a social-economic order that develops by efficiency-derived free market-inspired rules. The second one is political system whose ticking mechanism is driven by springs that contradict the forces that move the economy. The image the discrepancy creates is an odd clock. Its two hands are driven by dissimilar mechanisms and are made to turn in different directions.
Post-Mao modernization has served China well as a country and so she has gained global weight. Millions of Chinese have earned a life of relative luxury and a multitude could develop the hope to share that good life. Ultimately, this process will make the present's controlled transformation by tutelage into a self-driven process. As it unfolds, the Party will lose its relevance for those busy climbing up the stepladder of mobility. Invoking Lincoln, we ask whether in the long run a country be half-free and half-slave?
In time, the Party's choice could become twofold. It might join the process and adjust its role. That would make its political rule match the increasingly pluralistic system that
evolves spontaneously. The other would be to react to its growing redundancy, to repress society's threatening autonomous development. As he contemplates the latter, the Chairman of that moment should be reminded of bit of history that remains relevant. Revolutions are not so much the product of brutal oppression but of frustrated hopes.

Email:Chief Rabbi
Click here to access the Chief Rabbi's weekly message dealing with the parsha
Our Jewish community's most trusted and familiar symbol of kashrut has had a facelift. If you've ever stopped to ponder the meaning behind the letters at the heart of the Beth Din Kashrut diamond, here is the long awaited explanation. You will notice four seemingly arbitrary letters, FSUC. The Federation of Synagogues (FS) was the umbrella body of the Orthodox Synagogues in the Transvaal, Natal and O.F.S. while the United Council (UC) was the same body in the Cape Peninsula. In 1983 these two bodies joined forces to form the Union of Orthodox Synagogues (UOS) of South Africa (SA) as we are still known today.
However, the FSUC trademark remained registered, until now, and 29 years later we have finally re-registered the trademark with UOS and SA now replacing FS and UC in our updated kashrut logo.
For us, this is a tremendous milestone. At the very epicentre of our most recognised symbol, UOS SA is now proudly displayed. And that's exactly where the UOS fits in - at the heart of Kashrut, and at the heart of fostering and maintaining the infrastructure necessary for Jewish life in South Africa. It is because of our dedicated Kashrut Divisions that this symbol appears on over 13,000 unique products, with 70,000 unique ingredients constantly being monitored through 4000 annual inspections both locally and abroad. Diamonds truly are a Jew's best friend.
We have distributed the new logo to all our manufacturers and you may start to notice it slowly making its appearance. However it will take some time before it is fully phased in nationwide. Please note that the old logo remains completely valid.

This past weekend I had the opportunity to hangout with some of the brightest upcoming SQL Server Professionals and a couple of old-timers. We were gathered in Orlando, FL by Andy Warren to work on the SQL Saturday Wiki. Essentially, the plans were to improve on the information that he had collected about organizing and running successful SQL Saturday events. We were locked in a room all day Saturday and our brains were drained of any information we had obtained from running our own events.
Overall I thought this was an excellent idea, not only because I had the opportunity to travel to Orlando, but anytime you place smart people together good things are bound to happen. We arrived at Andy's office around 8:30 am and we started working around 8:32 am, no kidding. We discussed almost every aspect of coordinating a SQL Saturday. At times we veered off the path, but these were very short excursions because Andy and Jessica Moss would get us quickly back on track. Including Jessica and myself, the team also consisted of Scott Gleason, Jack Corbett, Greg Larsen, Jorge Segarra, and Sri Sridharan. We spent most of the day discussing and documenting our events and sharing any ideas, thoughts, best practices, and challenges that were faced during the event planning process. All of this information is available at http://wiki.sqlsaturday.com/.
So, if you are planning on coordinating a SQL Saturday event in the near future check out the wiki. We will be updating it on a regular basis. If you find any problems with the content or have any thoughts to add please feel free to email me at email@example.com. Remember, this is a work in progress so be patient as we improve and expand upon the site.

Sunderland have completed the deadline day loan signing of Manchester City full-back Wayne Bridge.
The former England defender has played just once for City this season after spending last term on loan at West Ham United.
He becomes Martin O'Neill's first signing since his appointment at the start of December.
"I'm hoping that with Wayne's undoubted experience and ability he can be a big help to the team until the end of the season," O'Neill said.
"I'm very pleased to have him here and with the number of injuries we've sustained recently I'm sure he'll be a great help to us."
The 31-year-old began his career at Southampton, before moving to Chelsea and subsequently Manchester City.
Bridge retired from international football in 2009 following headlines surrounding John Terry's alleged affair with his former partner.
He spent the second-half of last term on loan Upton Park, but could't prevent the Hammers from suffering relegation from the Premier League.
After Steve Bruce become the first Premier League casualty of the season, following two wins in the club's first 13 games, O'Neill has helped guide the club into the top half, having lost just twice since taking over in December.

The NDP appears never to have investigated Parliament's 'most collegial' MP over complaints about behaviour toward women
The Post has, in fact, spoken to three women who independently said Stoffer acted inappropriately with them.
Stoffer, speaking to the Post Thursday, categorically denied any past sexually inappropriate behaviour.
"None of the allegations you indicated had happened, that I recall," Stoffer said. "I can assure you I've never assaulted anybody, sexually or anyway in any shape or form in my life."
Jagmeet Singh, leader of the NDP, said the allegations "deeply disturbed" him.
"I believe the women who've come forward and I want to acknowledge their courage and strength. It's clear our anti-harassment policies and protections for workers were insufficient and failed to appropriately deal with this behaviour."

If you have to look to borrowing money with bad credit, you have to understand that banks and financial institutions are not the best place to get a bad credit personal loan. A personal bank loan is often an unsecured line of credit extended to bank customers who have good credit and if you have a poor credit history, your application for a $5000 installment loan with fixed rate is likely to be rejected.
Nonetheless, even if you do not have a good credit record, there are other private money lenders you can turn to for your equity problems. If you need money urgently now and want to apply for a $5000 monthly installment loan with bad credit, these private lending companies can be a viable source of quick financial assistance.
To apply for a low interest $5000 cash advance pay back by monthly installment, you can begin by performing a search for online installment loan lenders through the internet search engine. With the ease of access to non-traditional lending facilities, you can easily find an instant personal loan with any of the online direct money lenders who are able to assist individuals who require emergency funding.
At the same time, you should also be careful of unscrupulous lenders or scammers who ask you to pay a fee upfront first. The best way to ensure that you are dealing with a legitimate cash loan lender is to check with the BBB or Better Business Bureau, and only give your business to cash advance companies who are BBB-approved and accredited. Another handy tip is to check with a loan comparison website for online personal lenders and see if there are any negative reviews about so and so company. It helps to call the customer service number and correspond directly with the company's representative regarding your queries for a $5000 monthly installment loan with bad credit.
By comparing and reviewing websites of personal bad credit lenders, you should be able to get a rough idea of how much interest you need to pay for a $5000 cash advance. You may come across payday lenders who offer same day cash advance but through my own experience, most of these national payday companies do not give overnight cash loans above $1000 and a fast payday loan is usually for a short term advance of 14 to 30 days with no need for credit check.
To find the best monthly installment loan with the lowest rate, check with several direct loan lenders and ask for a personal loan quote or the APR ( Annual Percentage Rate), to see if who is able to give you the best interest rate on a bad credit personal loan of one thousand dollars and higher. If you need to borrow a large sum of money with poor credit, it may be helpful to ask them if there is a need to pledge any assets or they are able to grant you an unsecured cash advance in monthly installment without the need for collateral.
The reason is because some online private lenders may place a credit limit for unsecured borrowing while a secured asset-backed installment loan will typically enjoy lower interest rates and a longer repayment period, such as a 24 month business installment loan of twenty thousand dollars.
Having such information in your hands will greatly assist you at the negotiation table and help you borrow money fast with a long term bad credit monthly installment loan.

The police chief issues a stern warning when announcing the operation, in which dealers' cash and cars were seized, along with $1 million worth of drugs.
When Sarasota Police Chief Bernadette DiPino met with Newtown residents at a block party last month, she promised that the department would rid the neighborhood of drug dealers.
She and the officers said the same thing to the men lingering on the corner — a warning, she called it.
Efforts to fulfill those words were already in the works.
On Tuesday, the department announced the results of an 18-month investigation called Operation Sarasota Cartel II. A similar sting was conducted from 2008 to 2012.
Ten people were arrested, $115,000 in cash was seized, $1 million worth of powder cocaine — 12 kilos — was recovered and five cars were confiscated.
The suspects, who have extensive criminal histories, face anywhere from three to 15 years in prison.
"Our main goal was to dismantle a local drug organization from bottom to top," DiPino said.
It all started when undercover detectives gained information regarding alleged street-level drug dealer Irvin Brown, 26, who operated in the area of Leon Avenue — where the police department's block party was held last month.
"We monitored his activities for a length of time and he was able to lead us to the distributor," Lt. Pat Ledwith said.
Both Roderick Shannon, 44, and Al Muta Hawks, 36, were allegedly dealing in one to nine ounces of cocaine at a time as "mid-level distributors," Ledwith said.
Eventually, detectives tracked the activity to kingpin source Alex Gomez, 46, who was allegedly supplying kilos of cocaine to those distributors and dealers.
Gomez, who is from Miami, has previously served prison time for trafficking cocaine, Ledwith said.
"Once we identified who the supplier was, things moved rather quickly," Ledwith said, adding that the investigation picked up in the last few months. "These individuals were rather comfortable in dealing within this area, so we were able to follow their habits for quite a while."
The investigation, which included tapping suspects' phone lines, led to the arrest of six others.
The first phase of the ongoing operation culminated on Jan. 22, when detectives executed eight search warrants, garnering the cash, cocaine — including 11 kilo bricks — and vehicles, including a Cadillac and a Dodge Charger.
"The timing on this has to be so perfect," Ledwith said. "Otherwise you lose money, you lose narcotics, you lose people."
Sarasota police worked with the Drug Enforcement Administration, Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, Manatee County Sheriff's Office, Bradenton Police Department and the State Attorney's Office in this operation.
"The way they did this investigation is storybook," James DiCaprio, Assistant Special Agent in Charge for the DEA, said. "A lot of times when you do these investigations they become fragmented and you miss someone.
"In this investigation they dropped the net. They got the supplier who was bringing it to Sarasota and were able to grab the whole organization."
Ledwith said the investigation is ongoing and could lead to more arrests.
Before stepping down from the podium at Tuesday's news conference, DiPino issued a final warning to drug dealers:
"We are coming after you and we are going to get you," she said. "Find another place to deal drugs because it's not going to be in the city of Sarasota. We're not going to let you continue this in our community."

By Meg Gray, KF9, Nicaragua
Last Thursday night, while eating a farewell dinner of Chinese take-out, I drew the perfect fortune cookie: "Traveling to the south will bring you unexpected happiness." Since I was leaving for Nicaragua the next day as a member of KF9, I was happy to have this auspicious omen on my side.
Turns out it was also exactly the reassurance I needed as I arrived in Managua, Nicaragua during a torrential rainstorm on Saturday night. Moments after a very turbulent (and somewhat terrifying) landing, the power went out in the airport and we had to wait for it to come back before we could deplane. Needless to say, waiting in the plane, I had a few doubts and remembering my fortune cookie brought a smile back to my face.
Now that feels so long ago. I successfully made it through Day One at CEPRODEL, one of Kiva's field partners in Nicaragua. CEPRODEL has been a Kiva partner for almost two years and has facilitated loans to over 2,100 Kiva entrepreneurs! Everyone I met was extremely friendly and helpful. I'm still struggling to remember most of their names, but they have welcomed me back for Day Two nevertheless.
Before I dive too far into journal entries and borrower profiles, I briefly wanted to say hello. I look forward to your comments and to giving you more information about CEPRODEL, Nicaragua, and my experiences as a Kiva Fellow.
Learn more about CEPRODEL on their field partner page or loan to a CEPRODEL entrepreneur now! Or if you're feeling brave and want to practice your Spanish, check out CEPRODEL's website./>

Bulldogs Take First in Four Events
NEW HAVEN, Conn.—The Yale men's track and field team's schedule seems to just keep getting busier. After sending 10 athletes to Philadelphia to compete at the Penn Relays on Thursday through Saturday, the Bulldogs hosted the annual Yale Springtime Invitational on Sunday. The meet attracted a wide range of local competition, including schools like Connecticut, Hartford, New Haven, Sacred Heart, Southern Connecticut State and Stony Brook. Because of the abundance of meets the Elis have been competing in over the past couple weeks, some of the team's most accomplished runners took Sunday's meet off. Thus, along with some of the Bulldogs' regulars, many of the Bulldogs' less experienced and younger athletes had the chance to shine on Sunday—and they represented the Elis well.
Sophomore William Rowe, however, is certainly not one of those inexperienced athletes. He has been the Elis' ace in the 400-meter hurdles all season and even competed in the 4x100 meter relay at the Penn Relays on Friday. Rowe continued his stellar season on Sunday by placing first in the 400-meter hurdles. His time of 53.73 was both a personal best and fast enough to qualify him for the IC4As later this year. Sunday's meet was the third time this season that Rowe has broken his personal record in the event.
The Bulldogs placed first in three other events on Sunday. One of them was the 1,500-meter run, where the duo of seniors Sam Kirtner and Michael Pierce placed first and second, respectively. Kirtner's time of 3:52.88 was just shy of the personal record he set at the Larry Ellis Invitational last weekend, and he won Sunday's race in dominating fashion, finishing ahead of Pierce by seven seconds. Senior Kevin Lunn and junior John Cocco placed 13th and 20th in the event, while freshman Max Payson took ninth.
Payson was not the only freshman to perform well on Sunday. Freshman Duncan Tomlin (9:28.05) placed first in the 3,000-meter steeplechase. Tomlin just recently became the Bulldogs' specialist in the event after placing first at Harvard-Yale, and Sunday was only the third time Tomlin had run the event in his collegiate career.
The Bulldogs also managed a first-place showing in the 4x100 meter relay. The team of Rowe, sophomore Dylan Hurley, junior Daniel Jones and junior Dana Lindberg—the same exact team that competed in the event at the Penn Relays on Friday—finished in 42.57, the Elis' fastest time in the event this season. Their time on Sunday was a 0.4-second improvement on their race at the Penn Relays.
The Elis also performed well in the individual short sprint events. In the 100-meter dash, Jones placed fourth overall with a time of 10.98, remarkably just 0.01 seconds slower than his personal record in the event. He was joined by freshman Martin Tolentino, sophomore Andrew Goble and sophomore Chen Wang, who placed 16th, 19th and 29th, respectively. In the 200-meter dash, junior Nnamdi Udeh took fifth overall, finishing in 22.75—just 0.16 seconds ahead of Hurley, who typically runs the 400-meter dash. Tolentino, Goble and sophomore Mario Kranjac also ran the event, finishing 15th, 16th and 17th, respectively.
In the longer sprint event—the 400-meter dash—a pair of freshmen led the way: John Keisling and Peter Merritt. Between the two of them, the pair had competed in the event just four times in their collegiate careers coming into this weekend. Both set new personal bests on Sunday, as Keisling placed sixth and Merritt took 11th.
In the 110-meter hurdles, another pair of youngsters shined bright. This time, it was freshman Adam Lundquist and sophomore Daniel Kemp who placed second and fourth, respectively. The pair finished just 0.02 seconds apart, with Lundquist registering a time of 15.51. Both athletes were within 0.1 seconds of their all-time bests.
In the longest event of the day—the 5,000-meter run—junior Miles Richardson finished in 15:19.90, taking fifth place. Richardson was competing for just the fourth time since the indoor season began in December, but the rust certainly did not show in his strong showing on Sunday. Junior Michele Gama Sosa placed 19th in the event.
Meanwhile, sophomore Michael Grace (1:58.69) placed 12th in the 800-meter run, his best event. Sunday marked Grace's seventh top-15 finish in the event this season.
In addition to their success in the track events, the Elis entered athletes in three field events on Sunday. Senior Tommy Winger placed second in the long jump. His first leap in the event (21'8"—6.60m), although wind-aided, was just barely shy of his personal record in the event, which he set way back in his freshman year. Lindberg has been the Elis' most active long jumper for much of the season, but Winger more than held his own in the event this weekend.
Junior Mark Kaczor—who, before competing in the shot put at Harvard-Yale a couple weekends ago had not competed since February—entered both the shot put and discus throw on Sunday. Kaczor took fifth in the shot put, his usual event, and sixth in the discus. His toss of 137'10" (42.01m) in the discus was a new personal best, while his throw of 41'1.75" (12.54m) in the shot put was his best of the outdoor season.
The Bulldogs' strong performance at the Yale Springtime Invitational marks the end of the regular season for the team. Next up is the Outdoor Ivy League Heptagonal Championships, hosted by Princeton next weekend. Five days after that, the Elis will head back to Princeton for the IC4As.

A Narragansett bed and breakfast hideaway amid the hotels and motels.
When you need a place to stay in the Narragansett Pier but want something more welcoming than hotels or motels, why not consider the bed and breakfast experience? Blueberry Cove Inn offers a variety of comfortable rooms within walking distance of the Town Beach and the historic Towers in Narragansett, R.I. It is perfect for a memorable beach vacation, relaxing weekend getaway, or wedding headquarters. Whether you are looking for a romantic rendezvous, a girlfriends' weekend, or a place to stay while on business, we have an accommodation to satisfy your needs.
Owners Seely and David Gerraughty invite you to their 1870s home which has seven guest rooms and two whirlpool suites, offering king or queen-size beds, private baths, luxurious linens, and air conditioning. Amenities include complimentary in-room cable TV, DVD players, WIFI and a guest computer with a high-speed Internet connection. Our town center location is a five-minute stroll from the beach and several fine restaurants.
Enjoy a full breakfast in the dining room before heading out to your day's activities. If you're looking for more action than baking on the beach, a short drive can bring deep-sea fishing, a dozen golf courses and a nature preserve within reach. If sightseeing is more your speed, attractions like Newport, Mystic Village and Block Island are less than an hour away.
At the end of the day, take a leisurely walk to the beach to experience the sunset, or catch the evening breeze on our front porch, lawn chairs, or yard swing.
But don't think you have to limit yourself to summer fun. The inn stays open year round and so do most of area attractions. Remember, the lines are shorter and the parking is closer in the slower season. So if you like fall foliage, Christmas lights on yachts or catching the first signs of spring, Blueberry Cove can be your inn for all seasons.
Our Narragansett bed and breakfast is a rewarding change from hotels and motels.

The Nature of Alexander
Open Road Media, 10 sept. 2013 - 276 pages
An "intriguing and invaluable" biography of Alexander the Great by the novelist whose fiction redefined Ancient Greece (The New York Times).
Acclaimed writer Mary Renault is widely known for her provocative historical novels of Alexander the Great and his lovers. But she also authored this nonfiction classic, a fresh, illuminating look at a man whose legend has remained larger than life for more than two thousand years.
From his dysfunctional family dynamics to his molding under Aristotle, from his shocking rise to power at age twenty to the staggering violence of his military campaigns, Renault is clear-eyed about Alexander's accomplishments and his flaws. Infectious in its enthusiasm, this is a penetrating study of an unrivaled conqueror, enduring icon, and fascinating man.
Hailed as both "a splendid achievement in nonfiction" (The Plain Dealer) and "the perfect companion to her Alexander novels" (The Wall Street Journal), Renault's engrossing and accessible biography stands alone in the pantheon of Alexander the Great literature.
This ebook features an illustrated biography of Mary Renault including rare images of the author.

Hey guys, I know it's been a little time since the last post - but, BIG news, we have a brand new website!! I'm pretty darn excited about it.
It's cleaner and more streamlined than the old site, so the colorful products really pop. It's also a much more comprehensive site, with a built-in blog, design studio, and e-commerce shop. Now, in addition to the etsy shop, you can also buy our products right on our site.
The other big, big news is our new Watercolor Wedding Collection! The invitation designs were created using my colorful, textured watercolor illustrations, and pair with modern typography choices that you can mix and match with the different watercolor designs. The other super cool thing is that you can order these invitations right on our site! (I know!)
A lot of time was spent carefully crafting the user experience for ordering the watercolor wedding invitations. You can select quantities, color, type style and add in all of your event information easily when placing your order. Take a moment to visit our site and let me know what you think! I'd LOVE to hear your feedback.
Lastly, this will be the final post at this location. Future traffic will re-direct to the blog on our new site, where we'll be posting news, inspiration and other fun stuff from now on. Go there now!
Thank you for taking a look!

Intrinsically safe and explosion proof manual call point
E2S, the leading European manufacturer of warning devices for use in hazardous areas, has extended its capabilities with the development of intrinsically safe and explosion proof manual call points, certified to both ATEX and IECEx standards. The IS-CP4 intrinsically safe units are approved for use in Zones 0, 1 and 2 environments and the BExCP3 Ex e d explosion proof versions for Zones 1 and 2. Both types are available with either break glass or push button operation. The devices are manufactured from corrosion proof, copper free, marine grade LM6 alloy and are sealed to IP66, enabling them to be used in both offshore and onshore installations.
A comprehensive range of standard accessories and options can be specified; they can be fitted with a stainless steel lift flap and series and EOL resistors in a range of different values can be fitted as required. The units can be fitted with stainless tag and duty labels and, normally finished in red powder coat finish, special colours can be specified to enable rapid visual identification of special functions.
The introduction of this new family complements the well-established BEx range of explosion proof sounders, beacons and loudspeakers and the IS-mini modular sounder and beacon family.
Of course we can offer you suitable Ex i isolators. The 9170 series isolators of R.STAHL is suitable for every F&G, PLC or DCS system: http://www.r-stahl.com/products-and-systems/isolators/ex-i-isolators/digital-input.html
Technical information
Series BExCP3 (Ex ed unit for Zone 1, 2, 21 en 22)
Series IS-CP4 (Intrinsically safe unit for Zone 0, 1, 2, 21 en 22)


text: Many of the most important components of the XSTAR calculation require numerical quadratures over energy, and these are generally carried out using straight-forward trapezoid quadratures over a fixed grid of energies. In addition, the computation is speeded by the use of a strictly logarithmic grid spacing in energy. We use 9999 energies spaced logarithmically from 0.1 eV to 20keV. This results in a 0.12 grid spacing, corresponding to, e.g. 8.6 eV at 7 keV. This is the energy resolution of the code.

10 Reasons To Hope For BlackBerry 10
Parmy Olson, Forbes Staff
I cover agitators and innovators in mobile.
Screenshot of an app page being swiped to the right to "peek" at notifications in BlackBerry Hub.
It's been a tough couple of years for Research in Motion. The BlackBerry maker still has a faithful following of physical-keyboard loving users, butApple, Samsung and cheaper smartphone makers from Asia have smashed RIM's market share. Its stock has fallen almost 90% in the last five years; last quarter it posted another weak set of financial results. Some say BlackBerry 10, the new phone RIM will launch on Jan. 30th, could be a make-or-break device.
So what's it like? RIM gave Forbes a demo of the phone's software at CES 2013, unveiling some impressive features and factoids. Here are 10 of them, with a video of the demo below.
1) First a crucial factoid:carriers apparently like it. So far 150 of them from around the world are testing BlackBerry 10 in their labs, according to CMO Frank Boulben, which means they'll almost certainly carry the phone. He expects 200 carriers to offer BB 10 by the summer of 2013.
2) The phone is launching with more than 70,000 available apps, along with new features to BlackBerry Messenger that RIM will disclose at launch.
3) The phone takes away a physical "home" buttons — a bit like Nokia's Lumia phones. It relies on lots of swiping gestures and shortcuts for one-handed use by on-the-go business types.
4) The mobile platform, based software by QNX, allows users to have two personas on the device– one for work and one for private life, with separate background images and a password that can stop kids from accidentally calling someone's boss. Users can swap between the two with a single gesture, and decide what content is deemed personal and accessible, or private and professional on the same device.
5) A new feature called BlackBerry Hub. This is a neat amalgamation of all notifications that users access by swiping in an "L" shape, up and to the left. When writing an email and a new one comes in, users can also swipe slightly to "peek" at the content, before continuing with their email. No need to press a button or delete any draft of the email.
6) BlackBerry Hub's integration with Facebook, Twitter, Foursquare and LinkedIn — with potential for other developers to allow their apps to integrate with the Hub too. Users don't have to go into any of these applications to update their profiles or comment on these networks, but do it all in the Hub.
7) Quick context and aggregation. BlackBerry has created an apparently seamless system that allows you to get relevant information on people in your calendar. Swipe down to see the next appointment, then tap to see previous meetings you've had with the person, or what they last said to you in an email, or what a Google search on them brings up, or their LinkedIn profile — all within a couple of windows and without opening a browser. "It follows your train of thought," says Boulben, who described this experience as "BlackBerry Flow."
8) A keyboard that learns. This applies to the touch-screen version of BlackBerry 10, since RIM is bringing out a second BB 10 device with a physical keyboard. The application scans every email or instant message you've sent and builds an algorithm to better predict what words you'll type — rumor has it RIM partnered with A.I. startup SwiftKey on this. Predicted words hover on the "frets" between the key rows, and you select them by flicking up with your thumb (see video below). Swipe down on the keyboard to get punctuation symbols; swipe backwards across the keyboard to erase a word. If you tend to type between the O and P, the keyboard will learn this and shift the touch actuator to lie between the two keys.
9) Language. Start typing the word "je" and the BlackBerry 10 keyboard automatically suggests French words. "There is nothing more frustrating than writing in one language and being corrected in another," says Boulben, who is French.
10.) A few other things we don't know about. Boulben said RIM would unveil a couple of extra features at its Jan. 30 announcement, and the handset he showed me was not the finished product.
Overall, RIM is eagerly promoting BlackBerry 10 — it's not keeping the details about it under wraps like Apple. In fact, Boulben has been in 32 countries in the last four months to promote the hell out of this phone. And for good reason.
By summer 2013 we should know if any of these new features will help RIM stay in the game.

Potential presidential contender Gov. Rick Perry took third place in a conservative leadership poll Saturday, beating out confirmed candidates to place behind businessman Herman Cain and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney.
Seventeen percent of poll respondents picked the Texas governor as their presidential favorite. Cain won 24 percent of the vote, followed by Romney 21 percent. Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann, a favorite among Tea Partiers, placed fourth with 16 percent of the vote and Texas Rep. Ron Paul took fifth in the straw poll with 8 percent of respondents voting for his candidacy.
Perry has yet to declare his candidacy — his camp says the decision hasn't been made — but the governor is gaining traction with conservative voters, according to recent polls.

Aqua Creations unveiled a stunning series of origami LED lamps during this year's New York Design Week that are made from a single sheet of folded paper. Dubbed 96 Molecules, the line pairs a geometric aesthetic with rustic bases to create timeless designs that add a wonderful warm ambient glow to any home or office.
Tel-Aviv-based artist Ayala Serfaty and photographer Albi Serfaty's lighting and furniture designs have stood the test of time. Aqua Creations Lighting & Furniture Atelier began in 1994, and since then duo has taken their meticulously handcrafted designs to the next level through sustainable construction techniques.
Origami artist Ilan Garibi worked with Aqua creations to transform blank sheets of paper into handcrafted, original works of art. Each 96 Molecules lamp is crafted by folding a single sheet of paper without any other manipulations. The process emphasizes craftsmanship and creates a unique product that is not mass-produced – it takes a single person a full day to fold two pieces!
The soft light and delicate material complements and contrasts with the cnc-machined mahogany wood which functions as the base for the table and floor lamps. 96 Molecules lamps are available in a range of sizes, so they can serve as centerpieces or accents that add a touch of timeless design to practically any interior.

Events, Redefined
Cisco's Global Sales Experience (GSX) just wrapped up and proved to be ground breaking yet again. The idea of a multi-location distributed hybrid event is daunting especially when it covers 90+ global locations in over 400+ conference rooms with 24X7 broadcasting for three days straight. When the audience represents a blend of in person attendees with virtual attendees creating a stimulating and motivating event experience is a challenge.
In the past GSX has risen to the challenge and this year was no exception. This year GSX leveraged rich content driven digital engagements including GSX TV (an on-demand cable network style of short format programming), Cloud Story (a video rich engagement highlighting the opportunity Cloud represents), A Matter of Time (a role playing game focused on Cisco's top priorities) and an Architectures Mastery Program (a gathering of the cream of the crop eLearning courses married with live event technical breakouts) and once again demonstrated that when you align your experience with the fundamental goals of your event and listen to your audience you can truly break new ground and disrupt the notion of what the word 'event' means.
Of course GSX would not be possible without the depth and breadth of Cisco solutions available to execute it. GSX deploys a vast array of Cisco solutions to create the event experience for example Cisco's Enterprise Content Delivery System, Digital Media Signage, and TelePresence. Check out the video below to learn more.
Another new element that proved very successful was the Achievements area of the GSX virtual environment.
This is gamification at its finest. This section aligned the key elements GSX wanted the attendees to engage in with badges they earned for engaging. Once a designated number of badges were unlocked the attendee was eligible for a prize drawing. This would appear to be simple but unlike traditional 'virtual show prizes' the badges were graphically driven, rather than the traditional point accumulation, were showcased in their own section of the virtual environment, rather than housed in a prize center with other information, and were highly visible as the number achieved vs unlocked was graphically included in the bottom navigation bar throughout the virtual environment.
I will share more learnings from GSX in future posts including how GSX revolutionized the idea of rewarding and celebrating top talent in a virtual environment and a deeper dive into the gamification tactics used.
Raising the bar on the event experience is a goal at Cisco and with GSX, Cisco Live, Partner Summit and more that goal is being realized. I am looking forward to more exciting events in 2012 leveraging Cisco solutions and cutting edge technologies to recreate the event experience!
