Don Imus, a shock jock (someone who shocks their listening audience by saying outrageous statements), was fired from his jobs on WCBS radio and MSNBC television for crossing the line of decency and making racist and sexist remarks regarding the Rutgers University women's basketball team. From a team building and employee motivational point of view, there are tidbits of motivational wisdom to be learned from this situation.
First, let me ask you, how many "Don Imuses" do you have in your organization, your team, or your department? You know what I mean, the employees, whether they are women or male employees, who continuously cross the line when it comes to behavior; perhaps being overbearing or the bully at work. They make insensitive comments without respect for other people's feelings, and then say the following when you discuss their conduct:
"I'm just being me."
"That's just the way I am."
"I was just playing."
"I didn't hurt anybody."
"Oh, you're just too sensitive."
"Can't

A deliziare un pubblico che contava oltre 20.000 presenze, sul grande palco di Piazza Mazzini sono arrivati anche gli artisti dell'Acrobatic Frisbee Show. Non potevano infatti mancare i loro dischi volanti all'inaugurazione del Carnevale di Viareggio, sabato 19 gennaio.Con ben due interventi, il gruppo è riuscito a coinvolgere l'immenso pubblico con uno spettacolo originale, dinamico e divertente, mostrando di sapersi adattare benissimo all'ambiente carnevalesco e scherzoso. Alternando i simpatici sketch comici alle vere e proprie esibizioni di Frisbee Freestyle, gli atleti hanno infatti saputo attirare e conquistare l'attenzione della folla, nonché gli obiettivi di telecamere e fotografi. E nella suggestiva cornice viareggina, ad ogni evoluzione era un applauso.Si ringrazia la Fondazione Carnevale di Viareggio. Qui il comunicato stampa dell'evento.Un ringraziamento anche a Martina e Marco di Pistoia che ci hanno tenuto compagnia e ospitato! Photos by Martina FrosiniVota il post
How important is fast computer response to a sales team? Normally a sales team is the most closely monitored group of personnel in an organization, simply because sales are the prime influence on the bottom line. The second most important tool to a sales rep--second to the ability to sell the product--is support. A vital part of that support is, of course, the rep's computer and its capacity to quickly respond.While a prospect is sitting in front of the rep, or while a prospect is waiting on the phone, the rep must access a computer for customer info, product pricing, and countless other items. As any salesperson knows, a prospect's interest can be fragile. Anything which makes the prospect wait scrapes away that interest, and if scraped enough, the prospect is lost. Slow computer response also means sales reps are only able to handle limited prospects per hour, per day, or per week.The primary barrier to fast computer response is file fragmentation. Fragmentation occurs as files are c
India defeated Australia at Perth, putting an end to Kangaroos 16 match winning streak. Australia who failed to recover after skipper Ricky Ponting’s dismissal in the morning lost to India by 72 runs. Last time India managed halted Australia’s victory wagon in Kolkata, when Sourav Ganguly’s men halted the progress of Steve Waugh’s team. This is India’s first ever victory at Perth. Four days ago no body gave India the chance, but proving critics wrong Kumble and men were in sight of thrilling victory on the world’s fastest pitch. India is the first team in last five years to beat Australia in their own backyards. Despite having four fast bowlers in team, Australia were staring at defeat as India knocked out eight wickets one by one. Sehwag and Kumble proved to be the chief architect of Indian demolition drive, getting rid of Gilchrist and Clarke respectively. India now needed just two more wickets to create a his

Railways Minister Lalu Prasad Yadav said on Saturday that racism slur on Harbhajan Singh is not only an insult to the cricketer but it has humiliated the entire nation and Indian team should have been called back from Australia. While talking to the reporters at Rail Bhawan on Saturday he gave the example of Rana Pratap, a Rajput king who had fought and gave his life for self-respect and said nothing comes before self-respect. "I would have recalled the players as this is a question of country's self-respect," he said. "The matter has not been settled yet. Harbhajan was insulted. It was also an insult to the country," said the Minister, who also heads the state cricket association in Bihar. Harbhajan was accused of racially abusing Australian all-rounder Andrew Symonds, but denied the charges. The BCCI then threatened to abort the tour unless the ICC dropped the charges. Harbhajan was allowed to play until the appeal was hea

As I ponder and watch some College Hoops lately, I only think but wonder who is even the best team in the country? We have some good choices out there and it is really a toss-up.We have 4 legit teams who may be above the rest. North Carolina, Memphis, Kansas, and UCLA have been dominating this season (with the exception of UCLA's loss to Texas). But other than that, these 4 have been damn impressive.So who is the best?North Carolina is ranked number one in the polls right now. Can anyone really beat them right now, especially if you can't stop their transition game? Tywon Lawson is just an electric point guard (best in the country) and Tyler Hansbrough is the work-horse that he's always been. The Tar Heels have beaten some good teams this season and have just straight dominated some too. They beat an experienced BYU team by 10, dominated a good Ohio St. team by 11, completely dismantled the WAC favorite in Nevada, and also beat Kentucky. Did I also mention they have one of the deepest
The Scotland Yard (SY) team of Britain that arrived in Pakistan today was briefed by the Interior Ministry about the development in the investigation carried out into the assassination of ex-premier Benazir Bhutto. According to sources, Special Investigation Group of FIA Anti Terrorism apprised the SY team about the evidence gathered in connection with the slain Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) leader Benazir. After having detailed consultations with the Pakistan Government, the SY team would move ahead for a full-fledged probe into the incident, The News reported. The issues relating to team’s contact with the eyewitnesses besides Benazir’s autopsy are yet to be finalised, it added. Meanwhile, the PPP has expressed its "distrust on locally conducted investigation and have demanded probe into the murder of Benazir under United Nations’ appointed investigators." (ANI)
Why do I ask? Because the Red Wings and Pistons have made their regular seasons irrelevant.As both teams currently stand, and will likely remain, there is absolutely no drama to their regular seasons. None whatsoever. The playoffs are a done deal. A dead, solid lock. The only question left is their playoff seeding. Even that is somewhat moot, as home court/ice, for at least the first couple of rounds, is all but assured.Save for the occasional "big" game, such as tomorrow's battle of the eastern conference titans, Pistons vs. Celtics, there has been very little excitement regarding their achievments. The Red Wings and Pistons are machines, chewing up and spitting out the opposition, leaving destruction in their wake.I love that they are great teams. I cannot wait for the playoffs! But...You knew there was a "but" coming, didn't you?The regular season has become a snore.I know I shouldn't feel this way, as watching a team perform at the peak of their abilities is special. Seeing them b
A five-member Scotland Yard team has arrived in Pakistan to investigate assassination of former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto British detectives will hold a meeting with Interior Ministry, sources said. They will also visit and examine the scene of the crime at Liaqat Bagh in Rawalpindi. Scotland Yard might seek an autopsy of Benazir Bhutto’s body, for which permission would be sought from her husband, Asif Ali Zardari. The team’s arrival follows President Pervez Musharraf televised address to the nation indicating that a special team of Scotland Yard would be visiting Islamabad to assist Pakistan in its probe into the December 27 assassination of Bhutto in a gun and suicide attack. Musharraf thanked British Prime Minister Gordon Brown for accepting his request for assistance from the UK's coveted investigative agency, The News reported.

A special team of Scotland Yard will soon be visiting Islamabad to assist Pakistan in its probe into the December 27 assassination of former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto in a gun and suicide attack. President Pervez Musharraf disclosed this in a televised address to the nation this evening. Musharraf thanked British Prime Minister Gordon Brown for accepting his request for assistance from the UK's coveted investigative agency. This comes amidst mounting pressure from International community and leaders about the need for an international inquiry into the assassination after Islamabad's claim that Benazir was not shot, but died because she hit her head on the sunroof of her SUV. The government's claim has been rejected by her party leaders, eyewitnesses and the surfacing of new clips that show Benazir ducking after the assassin shot her. There were earlier reports that Musharraf has sought British assistance in the probe, but Benazir's husband and co-chairman of Pakistan Peoples Party

Cornell University's Southeast Asia Program (SEAP) has launched a programme to protect and preserve the Karen culture and language of Myanmar. There are an estimated 50 Karen refugees now resettled in Ithaca on the Thai-Burma border. Working with local teachers and refugee sponsors, Cornell is creating programs and resources to better serve the Karen and other refugees from Burma and to share their culture with the wider community. In October 2007, SEAP held a two-day workshop, "Burma, Border Zones and the Karen People," with more than 60 attendees, including teachers, refugee sponsors, members of the Karen community and Cornell students and faculty. The conference covered background information on Burma and the Karen, including history, current events, culture, ethnic diversity and conflict. "The turnout was amazing," according to Thamora Fishel, SEAP outreach coordinator, who organized the workshop. The Karen are an ethnic minority group native to south-eastern B

Codemasters teases 'Project Strike Team'Filed under: Action, Adventure, Business Top men at Codemasters are very excited about their new IP -- codenamed "Project Strike Team" -- but are reluctant to say much about it, except that they think it's awesome. So there.The "character-driven action title" is in development at Codemasters' new Guildford studio, and is being built using the team's proprietary EGO game engine, which was last seen in Colin McCrae's DiRT. The engine excels at creating large environments with impressive draw distance. According to Develop Magazine, the team's experience working with automobile-focused racing titles will be put to good use on "Project Strike Team," which is tentatively due for release sometime in 2009. The project is being touted and teased by the company early in development partly for recruitment purposes. We'll have to wait and see what kind of game "Project Strike Team" really is (our guess is that it features some kind of strike team).Re

Updating an earlier post on B-List Yanks abroad, I finally have the full story (hehe) on Marcus Storey and his status with German Oberliga (fourth division) side TuS 1906 Hueslingen. The University of North Carolina grad was apparently acquired by Hueslingen at the start of the season but never joined the team.That will change next month, according to Storey's German lawyer/agent Bernd Floris Flor with whom I exchanged emails this week. Flor wrote that Storey will be eligible to play for Hueslingen starting in January. The club was late in submitting the proper requests with Major League Soccer, who apparently still held Storey's rights last summer? Can that be true? The Chicago native was the 20th overall pick in the 2005 SuperDraft by the Columbus Crew. He was traded to the Houston Dynamo prior to the 2006 season and then reportedly cut in the 2007 pre-season.
