I myself, like many others am a die-hard battlefield fan. With Battlefield 4 coming out in a couple months, ill probably pre-order it like many others. Unfortuately, was it really the right move? BF4 was announced before BF3's first birthday, which led to the disappointment of many. Everyone remembers DICEs critically aclaimed Battlefield Bad Company 2 and were hoping for a sequal this year. Dont get me wrong, BF3 is fun but BC2 allowed players to do anything they wanted, having alot fewer limitations. BC2's campaign was also a high note, providing us players with a funny and interesting experience with B-Company. BF3 did not provide these and was a let down for many including myself. After, seeing the BF4 gameplay trailer, however, it looks to me that this new game will be promising, but will it implement the high notes BC2's campaign introduced to players? Probably not, leading me to ask once again, is Battlefield 4 really a right move for DICE?

Rockstar San Diego Hit With Layoffs

online Psy & JamieMilneactivity 1839 Days Agorockstaraffiliates 1066 Viewsforums 3 Comments
The development team behind the smash hit Red Dead Redemption suffered layoffs today. A spokesperson for the company confirmed to IGN late tonight "about" 40 employees were let go from the studio. Rockstar would not confirm what positions were targeted, however.

In response to the cuts, Rockstar San Diego studio manager Steve Martin released this statement:
As is typical with game development, our team sizes have always fluctuated over the course of the development cycle. As Rockstar San Diego transitions from the launch of Red Dead Redemption onto future projects, we are realigning our resources in order to continue to develop games as effectively as possible.

We are ensuring that all employees who are affected by these changes are being treated with care. While we have no announcements to make regarding a sequel to Red Dead Redemption, the team here are hard at work on the development of downloadable content for the game.
Red Dead Redemption sold an impressive 1.5 million copies in the U.S. during its launch month in May. Rockstar hopes to keep the ball rolling this year as it plans to offer at least four more downloadable packs over the next six months for the title.

Heh, finish working on the game then ditch your staff. Nice.

that really puts a dark spot on rockstar's face. i feel confused, i have to say. i really belive in this company, but doing things in this way, like those people were disposable goods really makes me sick.

Heh, finish working on the game then ditch your staff. Nice.

it's better than Rockstar San Diego paying workers that are still there but aren't needed anymore (i had a job but i was let go cause they finished with a remodel and they only needed people for the remodel)

Olivia’s Story: “I wish I felt safe…”

My boyfriend and I just moved to Wichita, KS from a small town in New England so that I can earn my graduate degree. The street harassment that I’ve experienced since moving is completely unreal, and continues to boggle my mind. The worst incident occurred this past Friday in a thrift store while we were furniture shopping. My boyfriend and I were at opposite ends of the store because we decided to look at clothing when I noticed a man following me. I was wearing a dress that stopped about an inch above the knee and that was slightly form-fitting because it’s very windy here and wearing flawy dresses without flashing everyone is difficult and annoying. Anyways, I noticed a creepy man following me through the women’s section of this particular store, so I decided to move closer to the mens section and look at blazers. I moved quickly, and thought I had left him behind until I looked behind me and saw him crouched behind me on the floor looking up my skirt. I felt disgusted, humiliated and shocked. Not knowing what else to do I ran across the store to tell my boyfriend what had happened. The man promptly left. I felt numb and hollow for the rest of the day. I wish I had said something to him, I wish I had screamed at him, I wish I’d alerted the clerk, but I did none of these things and I feel like a coward. I have always liked to think of myself as the sort of person that would fight back against street harassment, but I find myself ignoring my harasses or refusing to leave the house alone. Usually, if I am with my boyfriend I experience no issues, but I wish I felt safe walking my dog by myself, or running to the gas station down the street.

I've got your back!

EuroWordNet Objectives

(c) All Rights reserved by the University of Amsterdam

Access to the information society

Currently, information is massively stored in electronic form and can be accessed from anywhere in the world via electronic networks. Although access to this information is constantly being improved by new interfaces and facilities, information retrieval from large electronic resources is still mainly determined by key word matching or fixed indexing and menu systems. Likewise, a user cannot simply use his own words to find information but has to make use of the wordings and rationale of the classification system. As the detail and amount of information increases a non-expert user will have more and more difficulty to use the right terminology to gain access to it. The situation in Europe is even worse since its diversity of languages and cultures constitutes an extra barrier, while the available linguistic tools to support textual search are mostly restricted to English. As a result of this, the information society is becoming restricted to a small group of people that speak English and have good knowledge of the access system and the stored data.

User Need

To provide non-expert searchers flexible access to the information society it is therefore crucial to develop tools that can expand his general and common words in a specific language to any possible variant or term in any other language. The user should be able to get around the choice of words in a document or the choice of key words by matching meanings rather than words. Such tools depend on the availability of generic resources with basic semantic relations between words, like the Princeton WordNet (Miller et al 1990). The American WordNet database consists of semantic relations between English word meanings (so-called synsets) which can be accessed as a kind of thesaurus in which words with related meanings are grouped together. For example, a noun like car is linked to, among others, all words that have a hyponymy or isa relation or a meronymy or hasa relation with it, and a verb like drive to, among others, all words that have a hyponymy or an entailment relation with it:

Relations for "drive" and "car"

For full relations click on icon

With such a database the query-terms of a user can be expanded to any set of closely related terms in a language, leading to better retrieval of information in terms of recall. For example a query with the terms drive and car will be expanded to combinations such as go + car, race + vehicle, steer + car, turn + wheel, race + engine.

Multilingual WordNet Database

Unfortunately, such resources are not available for other languages than English, let alone a resource in which multiple wordnets are combined and interlinked. This severely holds back developments in language engineering and the information society in Europe. The aim of this project was therefore to develop such a multilingual database with wordnets for several European languages which can be used to improve recall of queries via semantically linked variants in any of these languages. These European wordnets have as much as possible been built from available existing resources and databases with semantic information developed in various national and European projects ( Acquilex, Sift ). This is not only more cost-effective but also made it possible to combine information from independently created resources. This made the database more consistent and reliable, while keeping the richness and diversity of the vocabularies of the different languages.

The wordnets have been stored in a central lexical database system and the word meanings have been linked to meanings in the Princeton WordNet1.5, which functions as the so-called Inter-Lingual-Index. Furthermore, we merged the major concepts and words in the individual wordnets to form a common language-independent ontology (an ontology is the set of semantic relations between concepts). This guarantees compatibility and maximizes the control over the data across the different wordnets while language-dependent differences can be maintained in the individual wordnets.

Overall_Picture of EuroWordNet results

For full image click on icon

In this design the wordnets are stored as separate wordnets or networks of language-internal relations, where each word meaning is also linked to the closest (most equivalent) concept in the so-called Inter-Lingual-Index or ILI for short. Via the ILI it is possible to go from one wordnet to another wordnet and compare the networks. In this way, the wordnets can be autonomous and language-specific networks, reflecting a unique lexicalization pattern. The ILI is an unstructured list of all WordNet1.5 synsets with some adaptations and extensions to improve the matching. Note that WordNet1.5 is also linked to the ILI as an additional wordnet. An ontology of domains and an ontology of top-concepts is also linked to the ILI. The domains are more global, script-like groupings of meanings (e.g. all meanings specific to "tennis"), the top-ontology represents more fundamental classification. For a further explanation of the design of the database see the available documents. The top-ontology can be down-loaded for free.

The design of EuroWordNet makes it possible to precisely describe the lexicalization of a language given a conceptual space. What this implies is best illustrated with an example. Consider, for example, all the words that are related to body parts. All the wordnets will share the top-ontology concepts Part and Living but each language has different lexicalizations for body parts. Whereas English words like head and leg can name the same parts of animals and humans, in Dutch different words are used for animal parts and humans parts (kop (head) and poot (leg) for all animals except horses and hoofd (head) and been (leg) for humans and horses respectively). Similarly, in English and Dutch there are different words for finger and toe whereas Italian and Spanish have a single word to name both types of body parts (dito and dedo respectively):

Differences in bodypart relations

For full image click on icon

In this picture you see that the ILI has been extended with concepts not occurring in English or WordNet1.5, whereas complex equivalence relations are expressed to the more general or more specific English concepts: eq_has_hyponym and eq_has_hyperonym.

Each wordnet will thus reflect a unique lexicalization pattern. Equivalence in the lexicalization will be reflected by parallelism in the wordnet structure and simple equivalence relations with the English words, whereas differences in lexicalization will be reflected by divergence of the wordnet structures and partial equivalence relations with the closest English meaning. In some cases, these differences can lead to very different classifications of meanings, because of the presence or absence of particular classifications in languages. In the next figure you see that the absence of a full equivalent for the word "container" in Dutch leads to a very diverse clustering in the Dutch wordnet of meanings which are all grouped below "container" in WordNet1.5. To see the example, click: HERE .

The following institutes are responsible for building the separate wordnets

the University of Amsterdam (co-ordinator of EuroWordNet).

the 'Fundacíon Universidad Empresa' (a co-operation of UNED Madrid, Politecnica de Catalunya in Barcelona, and the University of Barcelona).

Istituto di Linguistica Computazionale, C.N.R., Pisa.

University of Sheffield (adapting the English wordnet).

Université d' Avignon and Memodata at Avignon.

Universität Tübingen.

University of Masaryk at Brno in Czech.

University of Tartu in Estonia.

 Each of these institutes was responsible for the construction of their national wordnet, where most of them used material and resources developed outside the project (among which lexical resources from the publishers Van Dale for Dutch and Bibliograf for Spanish). The task of Sheffield was different because of the existence of WordNet for English. Their role consisted of adapting the Princeton WordNet for the changes made in EuroWordNet and controlling the ILI that connects the wordnets. The resulting data have been stored in a multilingual database system Polaris, developed by Lernout and Hauspie (formerly Novell Linguistic Development) in Antwerp.

In addition to the builders there are 3 industrial users in the project:

 The users will demonstrate the use of the database in their (multilingual) information-retrieval applications.

Big Red Mockers

Mock Trial Team season includes All-American honors
Monday, June 2, 2014

Though not as well-known as some Big Red squads, Cornell's Mock Trial Team is making waves in its own arena: the courtroom.

Eight of the team's 32 participants received bids to compete at mock trial nationals in Orlando, Fla., this spring. Forty-eight teams vied.

Cornell's adviser, Employment and Disability Institute Associate Director Thomas Golden, and eight ILR students gave the 2013-2014 team a strong ILR presence, according to Mock Trial Treasurer Christine Gabrellian '15.

"Having Professor Golden as our adviser has been pivotal in our expansion and marketing as a student organization on campus," she said. "He has helped with our new website, marketing in the ILR School and university as a whole, and developed a platform for us to reach out to Cornell alum."

This year marks the 30th anniversary of mock trial nationally. The competitive extracurricular continues to grow in popularity because it is fun for students interested in anything from law to finance to theater, Gabrellian said.

Each university and college team is responsible for providing people in the roles of attorneys – both prosecution and defense – and their own witnesses, she said. Every August, a new fictional case is issued to teams across the country and the hard work begins. Cornell "mockers" spend up to eight hours a week practicing with teammates, Gabrellian said.

Big Red mockers divided into several teams within the team to prepare and manipulate the case in their own ways, she said. At tournaments, Cornellians competed against students from other schools to see what worked, what did not and where they needed to get stronger.

Two judges, both of whom must have been practicing attorneys or former mock trial participants, preside over the contests. Tournaments often last all weekend and can become networking opportunities for the pragmatic student; some come away with internships after making connections during a trial, Gabrellian said.

Traveling to tournaments can pose a financial issue, Gabrellian said, but this year, the Big Red team received university funding, aid from alumni and parents, and a donation from ILR Dean Harry Katz.

The intense work required to participate and excel as part of mock trial isn't the only thing that keeps this group close, she said. After August tryouts, students receiving offers to join the team are greeted with what mockers call a "ding-dong bid" – a paper invite, delivered to the individual's residence – and graduating members are presented with ropes to wear at commencement.

Bringing extra honors to the team this year were:

  • Laura Bach '16, mock trial attorney and team captain, two All-American awards on defense and prosecution as a double-sided, closing attorney,
  • Jessica Borenstein HA '14, mock trial witness and team captain, All-American award on the prosecution for her portrayal of Tyler Hartman,
  • Cole DeVoy A&S '18, double-sided witness, one rank from an All-American witness award on the defense.

All-American awards go to the top 20 attorneys and top 20 witnesses at each national championship tournament, Gabrellian said. Attorneys and witnesses compete for All-American awards against 6,000 individuals each season.

I'm a massage therapist by trade who is the owner of a beauty salon. Each year i have a "Gallery Opening" where any beauty professional, client, friend or aquaintance can show their work (in any media or style) on the walls of an upscale spa like setting. This has been a successful venue for my own photographs, now I would like to reach a larger market and imagekind seems a good starting point.

Complete credited cast:

AMERICAN BUFFALO is another story of men's interminable struggle toward the top of the heap, a goal which ultimately and inevitably eludes most of us. Don Dubro, the proprietor of a dusty dark inner-city junk shop, holds court there with his friends and makes plans probably on a daily basis for his ascendancy to the top. He does this more out of habit than hope because he's long ago surrendered his future to the daily repetition of his life as guardian of the discarded remnants of others' possessions. Disheveled Teach, on the other hand, is either too dumb or too stubborn to accept the lot life has dealt him. Instead, he bucks like a wild horse under the saddle and refuses to be broken. Most pitiable of the trio which populates the movie is teen-aged Bobby. Mistaking much of the palaver which passes between the older men as pearls of wisdom, Bobby is the only one of the trio who still has a chance to make a life for himself somewhere beyond this tired too-familiar neighborhood. Don ... Written by Mark Fleetwood <>

I found this movie riveting.
26 August 2008 | by (United Kingdom) – See all my reviews

Yes, it feels like a play: centred on conversation- and what lively conversation- between just three people: little action. I don't think that disqualifies it from being a great film.Does a movie have to be all action? I was reminded of Beckett's "Waiting for Godot" (waiting for Fletcher). I watch TV late watching and normally fall asleep during the most vigorous movies. This film kept me sitting on the edge of my seat all the way through. If you enjoy people and seeing how somewhat depraved characters- even extraordinary characters like Teach- have some goodness deep down this movie will have meaning for you. The acting is first class

Apple TV adds more content, including The Disney Channel

In addition to the launch of the Vevo app on the Apple TV this morning, a few other notable apps have appeared on the device as well, including two Disney channels. The Disney Channel, Disney XD, The Weather Channel, and the Smithsonian Channel have all arrived on the Apple TV. The Smithsonian Channel and The Weather Channel both give you access to on demand conent. The Weather Channel also allows you to enter your location to see your local forecast.

The Disney Channel and Disney XD allow you to watch live Disney programming. However, you will need to sign in through your cable provider. At launch in the United States, the channels are supported by AT&T U-verse, Charter, Comcast XFINITY, Cox, Midcontinent Communications, Optimum, and Verizon FiOS. More providers are sure to be added later on as deals are struck.

The addition of Disney channels to the Apple TV is yet another push that Apple is making to get live content on their set-top box. Back in June, live ESPN and SkyNews came to the device, and there continue to be rumors around a possible deal with Time Warner Cable to get live content on the Apple TV.

Note that access to this content is dependent on your region. Did you get the new channels? If so, how did they work for you? Either way, what other channels do you want to see?

Apple TV adds even more channels, including Disney, Weather, Smithsonian

WeatherChannel is cool - if you set up a home location, you'll see any alerts currently active for the area.

I just got on board with Apple Tv last year, and I love it.

I think big things are coming. Weather it is a Tv/monitor or whole information, Internet tv thingy.

I don't know. But this little gem is about to burst and big things are a coming.

I keep thinking back to the Windows Media Center that failed miserably.

With the new Mac Pro coming out in a smaller foot print, digital downloads, media, movies, photo, and now home system integration, lights, garage doors, security...

This is going to be the next huge key in the the "Digital Hub" that that Steve spoke about years ago.

Get ready. It's coming.

This little box goes deeper than TV.

What is the point if you have to have a cable subscription I guess the on demand feature but these additions do nothing for me

Sent from the iMore App

Well said. I couldn't agree more. We got the ATV so that we could CUT our satellite subscription. If I still had my DirecTV or had cable, I wouldn't have gotten the Apple TV. This is not a step forward. Now if I could pay a small fee each month like for Netflix or Hulu, I'd be signing up for the Disney Channel in a heartbeat, but I'm not going back to paying $100 per month for satellite or cable.

the Canadian version of Apple TV it sucks compared to the US version. When the US gets like say 4 news apps we Canadians only get 1. No Disney/DisneyXD/Weather Network/ESPEN only got Vevo. We Canadians are out of luck each time Apple updates Apple TV

Sent from the iMore App

Looks like us in the UK luck out once again. I think apple sometimes forget that's there is more than just the USA in the world. All we got was VEVO, great, thanks for that.
I think it's time apple got together with BSKYB to offer some content over here like SKY GO.
Sometime I wonder why I stick with my apple products when there mainly aimed at the US market.
Anyone else offer any thoughts on the above??

Maybe a change of device is needed, my XBOX 360 offers a better option of content, could just stick with that!!

Sent from the iMore App

I know right I was hoping for more content here in Canada but Apple once again made this update USA only. I hope they see that other countries want more content on their regional Apple TV box

Sent from the iMore App

So stupid --- in what world is it logical to have a cable subscription to Disney so you can watch the same live programming that's being broadcasted by your subscription to your cablebox/dish from your AppleTV?

How many channels do you really watch on cable?
If you can pay less, watch what YOU want, when YOU want without commercials...

It's ala carte.
I have started canceling package options on my satellite subscription since I went to Netflix.

$12.00 > $8.00

Soon I am dumping the rest when I can get just individual stations.

Why do you think FX came out with FXX, FMX, subscription baby and cable and satellite folks are trying to position themselves, but I think they are running late just like the music industry with iTunes and see that folks are getting pissed about the hi price for BS on tv and the HIGH prices for a handful of channels that they are watching....

When can we move away from this damn cable subscription? When we people see how badly they are robbing them? It is time for a change in the TV industry. On the flip side, I am very happy to see Apple adding content to Apple TV.

This is great for people like me who do not have cable but have internet and use a friend of mine's email to sign in who does cable. I just wish that they added disney junior why not add the entire disney package since. Either way I am happy about this, can't wait for more content to be added now the Apple TV will attract everyone and not just ios owners

Not a big fan of having a cable subscription to be able to use more content on the Apple TV as I am a cord cutter right now with Hulu/Netflix and Digital antenna. But another thing that bothers me is the UI and the fact I have to have all these additional tiles added to my display that I may never use. Wish they would make it so I could hide/delete the tiles I don't use for a cleaner interface.

Nice! Thanks for the tip! The first poster is right though. There should be an easier "Apple" way to hide the icons.

This is a really nice step forward for Apple TV users. My kids would love to have the Disney channel back... If only we had not cut back on monthly TV spending, but if I could watch it on my [via cable service subscription] TV, why would I opt to watch it through my Apple TV? Redundant, yes?
Weather channel... YES!

Apple needs to implement an option to hide channels that we do not subscribe to - to reduce unnecessary clicking to get to the channels we do subscribe to.

Sent from the iMore App

Here are some reasons it's not "redundant":
1-You can have an appleTV in a room that you don't have a cable box in, get some premium content!!
2-It's Disney on demand, so if little junior wants to watch Thomas the Train right now, get Thomas & it shuts him up for a bit

To point #2, there is a TON of Disney Junior programming on Netflix now, so there is little reason for me to get excited about them adding specific Disney channels to ATV.

To point #1, there appear to be a lot of us who only have one TV. In which case, the original point stands: Get an ATV to cancel cable subscription, but cannot watch any of the new channels without cable subscription.

As mentioned above, you can hide the icons that you don't want.
Just go to Settings > General > Parental Controls.

Someone (ahem, Apple) needs to re-invent the TV experience. I am not talking content here per se but rather that grids of icons just aren’t going to “cut it”. A UI needs to be customized to device it runs on. Microsoft learned this the hard way with ubiquitous Windows 8 on all devices.

Also, I love weather apps but I have this gut feeling I’ll open the Weather Channel on ATV once and say “that’s nice” and never open it again.

Getting licensing agreements is like herding cats, and each country has it's own group of cats. You focus on where the viewership/interest is and go from there. Tis is just a start, not the end result. Apple simply wants you to enjoy the fruits of their labors and make other station providers aware of what they are up to in order to help herd the cats a bit easier.

I do love the Apple TV, but it would be great if they could add some more UK channels.
BBC iPlayer and Sky Go would be awesome.

I'm a UK Apple TV user, Apple need to form some agreements with BSKYB, BBC iplayer & ITV player. I've got a feeling it's coming but a slow roll out...

He's the guy who put the "entrepreneurship" in the Senate Committee on Small Business and Entrepreneurship. As committee chairman in 2001, Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.) had the name extended to reflect its broader sense of mission. Now, with the Democratic takeover of Congress, he returns to the helm, pledging to strengthen capital programs and other opportunities for small-business owners, while fighting to give them a fair shot at federal contracts -- largely by preventing Coca-Cola, Microsoft, Wal-Mart and other large corporations from scooping them up. Kerry, a former entrepreneur himself, surprised colleagues 22 years ago for seeking a post on the low-profile committee, yet was pilloried as anti-business during his 2004 presidential bid campaign, over his support of a minimum-wage increase and curbing tax incentives for corporations. Kerry recently spoke to Inc.com staff reporter Angus Loten about raising the federal minimum wage, taming employer health-care costs, and other key issues the committee expects to take up in the year ahead.

Inc.com: What's your impression of the minimum-wage bill that was recently sent back to the House with more than $8 billion in tax breaks for small-business owners?

Kerry: Obviously, if they were free-standing, some of our colleagues would embrace the larger portion of the tax pieces. But I think there was a feeling that it should've been a clean bill. I can't predict the outcome. We'll have to see what happens in committee. That's where it will be resolved. Some of the small-business measures in the bill we've advocated in the committee and we're supportive of them.

Opponents have said President Bush's proposed tax cuts for employees who buy their own health insurance are a threat to the employer-based system of coverage. Are they?

They are. But what's happening in the health-care industry today is there's a rush to push away from defined benefits to defined contributions. So, the fact is, it's already threatened to some degree. There are decreasing numbers of people within the private sector who are carrying employer-based coverage. It's just the nature of the cost increases and pressures. The problem with the president's plan  is that it really only affects a very small number of people who have enough money to be able to have the tax benefits make a difference. As a macro approach to the problem, it doesn't do enough. It doesn't really get at it. We have 27 million Americans who are working for small businesses who do not have health insurance. I think you have to have a much larger approach that helps bring down the cost of health care itself and reduces the cost of premiums.

I've always supported a plan to give a 50 percent tax credit for premiums to all small businesses, which would make the premiums much more affordable. I've also suggested an insurance pool with a cap on the costs for all businesses. You would reduce the premiums on every single health-insurance plan in America by about $1,500, which would have a profound impact. If you couple that with the tax benefit, it really starts to become affordable.

Where do employer cost-pooling initiatives like Health Saving Accounts fit in?

I'm trying to find a way to thread that needle. It would be good to be able to do it. The first problem is, what's the extent of the pool, what's the makeup of the pool. The second issue is what are the standards for pools that might reach across state lines  where you might have a difference in the quality of mandates currently required.

Those are the two biggest hurdles to that, and we're trying to figure out how you can create a pool that broadens participation without affecting the quality of care.

What's the state of Small Business Administration? There were reports in January that its disaster-loan program was running out of money.

The SBA has been cannibalized. Morale is low. It's had a 37 percent budget cut. It's the most cut agency in the federal government right now. What we need to do is push legislation to provide short-term relief to the businesses that need it, while giving the SBA the tools it needs to deliver.

Seven months ago, Steven Preston became the agency's new administrator. How's he doing so far?
I think he's honest and sincere about what he wants to achieve, but I don't know if he'll be permitted to. Part of that will play out in the budget fight next week, and we'll see what happens. I think he's moved continually to try to address some of the reform and accountability concerns, but has a long way to go.

We can give him a little time to grab the reins and implement the things he's said he'll implement. We'll have him up at the appropriate time and take a look at those issues.

Small-business federal contractors will soon have to recertify their size every five years to prevent large corporations from netting those contracts. Is five years too broad?

We need to review it and figure out an appropriate timeframe. I want to hear from participants and I want to hear from lenders. We'll get a sense of that and we'll move on it very quickly. We'll have a hearing and evaluate it in the coming months.

What else can the government do to foster entrepreneurship?

The most important thing is start-up facilitation. That can be in the form of capital programs, networking, mentoring, and other opportunities. Another way is through micro-lending. It's a shame to see that program under so much stress with this administration.

Sales training is a multi-billion dollar industry in the United States alone and is probably the most common type of employee training that most companies provide.

For the past ten years, I've interviewed well over 100 sales trainers, from firms big and small. Most of them are wonderful, upbeat, positive folk, but...some have a tendency to tell whoppers when they talk about the services they provide.

To be clear, I don't think that the sales trainers themselves realize that they're telling lies.  They're communicating ideas and concepts that they truly believe but which, in my view, don't correspond to reality.

Here are the six most common lies:

1. We did real scientific research.

Many sales gurus claim to base their techniques on exhaustive research. In most cases, the "research" consists of anecdotes resulting from previous sales training engagements.  Usually, when there is some kind survey involved, the sampling is usually too small to be of any scientific validity.

2. We can create sales stars.

Many sales gurus claim that their techniques and tools will allow average-performing salespeople to sell as much as top-performing salespeople. In fact, sales training usually provides incremental improvement, turning average salespeople into above-average, no higher.

3. We studied best practices.

The lie here isn't that they haven't studied successful organizations in successful companies, but that the "best practices" that work well inside one firm will automatically work as well in another. In fact, most sales environments tend to be idiosyncratic, because every firm must address its customer's needs uniquely.

4. We teach the latest techniques.

Give me a break. While there are a few exceptions, almost every sales training program in the world is some variation of the 1970s concept of "solution selling." The training firm may trick the concept out with some fancy new terminology (e.g. "The Challenger Sale"), but most of the time it's the same-old, same-old.

5. We can motivate your troops.

The truth is that nobody can motivate anybody else because motivation comes from inside. It is possible to set the conditions so that it's easier for people to motivate themselves, and you can suggest ways for people to get themselves more motivated, but a rah-rah keynote is of value only as entertainment.

6. We customize to match your needs.

Every sales training firm provides some level of customization. However, most sales training firms specialize in a particular aspect of selling and thus tend to build programs that address that aspect. Remember: to a guy with a hammer, every problem looks like a nail.

This is not to say that sales training doesn't have value. Quite the contrary, I've observed that sales training often has a faster ROI than investment in new technology. I recently discussed some of these issues (and how to avoid getting taken in) during a webinar hosted by AchieveGlobal. You can find a recording of the webinar HERE.

In a future post, I'll explain how to choose a sales training firm that will have the most positive impact on revenue and profit, so stay tuned.

Many companies direct their creative energies towards emerging technology but Fusion Systems' secret weapon is that it turns its innovative focus on the obsolete. The company, which makes manufacturing equipment, has found a host of ways to turn the recession to its advantage. Namely, the company takes products that have a waning but existing demand, such as older electronics, and finds new ways to make them for companies looking to outsource part of that process. As Craig Zoberis, president and founder of the Burr Ridge, Illinois-based manufacturer explains, companies come to him and say, '‘We're going to focus on all our new products. Hey, Fusion, can you build all our old stuff?'' Zoberis started the company out of his garage in 2002 and it now has 32 employees and produces 60 different products for clients around the world. In the past year, they reinvested $125,000 of profits in their capital budget and now they're reaping the rewards.

2008 2009
ANNUAL REVENUE $5,400,000 $6,700,000*
CAPITAL BUDGET $225,000 $350,000
SOFTWARE $14,000 $20,000
OFFICE EQUIPMENT $12,000 $75,000
R&D LAB EQUIPMENT $20,000 $20,000

Manufacturing Equipment

In 2009, Fusion bumped up its equipment budget by $50,000, investing in tools called vertical milling centers: machines a little larger than your average refrigerator, that can cut, hone, and tweak any shape the company needs out of aluminum and steel. It then uses these parts to make the contraptions that it sells—which include the devices that inflate packing pillows and those that stamp labels on golf balls—in batches that range from 100 to 2,000. Each of these parts for the machines has to be inspected manually, so some of the additional money went to high-end quality equipment such as micrometers. Also, thanks to government tax breaks on capital purchases, known as Section 179, the company can write off the whole thing.

Building Improvements and Office Equipment

In a down economy there's a lot of talent floating around and Zoberis invested in a spiffier workplace to woo them to Fusion. He revamped the partitions and the furniture in the company's workspace, and repurposed the space he had to make new offices and conference rooms. The goal was to make it feel less like other manufacturing firms and more like a 'California-type progressive design firm.' And with eight new employees since the start of 2008, it seems like the plan is working.

R&D Lab Equipment

The research and development budget tends to stay pretty stable at Fusion, and that's because most of the company's innovation expenses fall on the customer. Zoberis estimates that clients have paid from $10,000 to $250,000 for R&D alone but the reason they don't seem to mind is because of Fusion's open-book management policy. Zoberis aims for complete transparency, showing his customers the cost of 'every item, every screw, every part' as well as the manpower and even the profit margin on each project. If Fusion makes more money than their initial forecast, they '¨tell their clients they will renegotiate the contract and lower their prices next time.

Interview with T. Mills

Published On January 18, 2012 | Interviews

He has a record deal with Columbia Records, over 225,000 Facebook fans, and a spot on Vans Warped Tour…and California native T. Mills is just getting started.

This tattooed talent is sure  to make some big waves this year. He took some time out of his schedule to talk to us about his rise to stardom, piercings, shopping habits, and what his fans can look forward to in 2012.

Independent Philly: When did you realize you wanted to make music for a living? Who were some of your earliest influences?

T. Mills: I couldnt comprehend what making a living was at five, but i was in the backseat of a car with my cousin, and i told her i’d be on the radio one day. I’m sure a lot of kids say that, but to have it come true is crazy. My uncle showed me Bone Thugz at an early age, as well as Tupac and Big. I credit him for getting me into hip-hop, rap, and R&B. My mom got me into QUEEN. I loved the bicycle song.

IP: What advice would you give to other “bedroom” artists who are looking for their big break?

TM: Keep working, take chances, and dont sign anything without solid representation.

IP: Describe the feeling you had when you got the invite to appear on the warped tour…

TM: It’s always a good feeling when you get invited to perform somewhere, and I went to my first warped tour at (age) 14 and loved it! I feel like this summer is going to be great for my fans that I haven’t been able to play near. It gives me a chance to go across the country in two months and be a part of something that captures youth culture in its rawest form.

IP: What size gauge do you have in your ears?

TM: An inch and 1/8.

IP: How many tattoos do you have, and what are they of? Do you have a favorite?

TM: Haha i havent actually counted. My favorite tattoos I have right now would be (on) my knuckles and they say “patience”. It’s something im constantly working on.

IP: You released your album “Leaving Home” last year through Columbia Records. When can your fans expect your next release?

TM: I’ve been working on a mix-tape at the same time as the album. The mixtape will come soon and within three months I’m putting out another EP. After the EP I’m putting out the full length. I’m only halfway in right now and taking advantage of recording everyday. im also touring, shooting videos, and dropping viral songs to keep it movin’.

IP: What music is getting the most play on your IPOD these days?

TM: I’ve been listening to a lot of ASAP Rocky, Broken Bells, Al Green, The Smiths, My New Songs, and Minus the Bear… I also just got a record player and my vinyl collection is growing rapidly!

IP: What’s been your biggest rock-star moment to date? What is the craziest thing you’ve seen at one of your shows?

TM: Right after I got signed I bought a bunch of stuff that I probably shouldn’t have… iPad, two xbox’s, a few Louis Vuitton belts and wallets, a vintage Rolex, and some vans! As for crazy things at shows, a guy came up during one of my meet n’ greets and asked me to propose to his girlfriend for him. When she came up I asked if she would marry the guy and she said YES.

IP: If you had your choice of any living artist to collaborate with, who would you choose (and why)?

TM: KANYE & Travis Barker. No explanation necessary.

IP: What’s your worst habit you’re willing to admit to?

TM: It was smoking cigarettes but I stopped. I’ve had to stop a few times, but this last time was for good. It was an off & on affair since I was fourteen/fifteen.

IP: What are some of your other passions aside from making music?

TM: Clothes in any way, shape, or form. I’m a denim enthusiast and spend all my money on jeans!

 IP: Tell us something that would surprise, or even shock our readers…

TM: I have a cleaning disorder.

Check out T. Mills’ track “The Boom” from his “Leaving Home” EP below:
