MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA, June 19, 2012 (Press-News.org) A key to achieving the service provider's #1 goal today, namely, delivering excellent end-user experience while also lowering its total cost of ownership (TCO), is effective performance management & monitoring. Ensuring performance is a de facto requirement for every operator big or small (whether wireline, wireless, MSO/cable, data center, or OTT) due to the substantial impact it has on their bottom line!
A recent (2010) Telcordia study showed that the cost per network downtime incident could be as high as $750,000 dollars! With 4-5 critical errors per IP-based network device, and few hundred to several thousand network devices in an operator's network (depending on its size), these costs are significant! Thus, streamlining the processes, tools, techniques, systems, and best-practices for performance management has substantial impact on the profitability of the operators and of the eco-system as a whole!
This initiative has so far brought together a stellar lineup of over a dozen players from the carrier eco-system, including experts from Tata Communications, Telus, Twitter, Linked In, CTS Telecom, Opnet, Infovista, Packet Design, ADVA, Cisco, Adtran, Amartus, and Metanoia, Inc., among others. The experts have met via online roundtables, discussing issues like: why performance management is critical today, how it's requirements have changed with the advent of new services (VoD, broadband data, IPTV) and networks (4G/LTE, Carrier Ethernet, and cloud-based), how they differ across operator types, and the advances the eco-system is making to enhance the operator's ability in this domain. Information on these discourses will be released shortly.
The purpose is to facilitate dialog and interaction between operators (wireless, wired, MSO, data center, and over-the-top players) and eco-system players (hardware & system vendors, software providers, testing vendors, OSS/BSS vendors) to gather the eco-system's thinking on key issues in performance management. This distillation, via online and off-line interactive, structured panels and roundtables, plus writing and discussion on a number of carrier-oriented forums will help raise the industry's awareness about issues & needed solutions, and provide valuable insights to both carriers and eco-system players that can be incorporated in their processes and products, thereby improving service and carrier profitability.
The first On-line Live Panel will be delivered internationally on July 17th, 2012. Registration & contribution details are at http://www.metanoia-inc.com/techtalk/discourses. http://bit.ly/LknqIs

Countries should implement inclusive wealth accounting
2012-06-19
There is a shared recognition that conventional indicators such as gross domestic product (GDP) are failing to capture the scope countries' wealth. Even in the global recession, many economies appear to be getting wealthier. However, economic development is often happening at the expense of natural capital – what people want or need from nature. Despite significant advances in environmental protection over the past 25 years, humanity has failed to conserve resources, safeguard natural ecosystems or otherwise ensure its own long-term viability. The limitations in conventional ...
From Cliche to Culture Club - Author Opens "39 and Holding Club" for Baby Boomers
2012-06-19
Author LinDee Rochelle is making her standard age-related reply official by tweaking the old cliche with her new 39 and Holding Club (www.39AndHoldingClub.com) and offering it to the public with lifetime memberships that basically consist of just one thing—an official 39 and Holding "license." The laminated card states that the bearer is "Certified fun and forever young." Validated age is listed as "DOB: 11-20-None of Your Beeswax" (Rochelle's example)—another old cliche.
Membership costs reflect the premise, all prices ending in "39" ...
New contract between science and society critical for ensuring sustainability

Ancient global warming allowed greening of Antarctica
2012-06-19
Ancient Antarctica was warmer and wetter than previously suspected, enough to support vegetation along its edges, according to a new study.
By examining the remnants of plant leaf wax found in sediment cores taken below the Ross Ice Shelf, scientists from the University of Southern California, Louisiana State University and NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory were able to determine that summer temperatures along the Antarctic coast 15 to 20 million years ago were 20 degrees Fahrenheit (11 degrees Celsius) warmer than they are today, reaching up to about 45 degrees Fahrenheit ...

Psychological distress increases risk of death from stroke
2012-06-19
Psychological distress was associated with a higher risk of death from stroke, according to a study published in CMAJ (Canadian Medical Association Journal).
Psychological distress includes factors such as anxiety, depression, sleeping problems and loss of confidence, and is common in approximately 15%-20% of the general population.
Although there is evidence linking psychological distress to coronary artery disease, there is a dearth of data linking psychological distress with the risk of death from stroke and other cerebrovascular diseases.
Researchers from UCL ...
Outcomes for children after brain injury difficult to predict and highly variable
2012-06-19
Outcomes for children with brain injury acquired during childhood are difficult to predict and vary significantly, states an analysis of evidence on the topic published in CMAJ (Canadian Medical Association Journal).
"There is no single best approach to describing outcome after acquired brain injury during childhood, and the one chosen must be appropriate to the purpose at hand (e.g., identifying individual, population, global or domain-specific outcomes)," writes Dr. Rob Forsyth, Institute of Neuroscience, Newcastle University and Great North Children's Hospital, Newcastle-upon-Tyne, ...

1. Hospitalization Often Catastrophic for Alzheimer Patients
Hospitalization of patients with Alzheimer disease (AD) often leads to complications such as delirium, loss of independence, institutionalization, and death. Researchers theorized that AD patients who suffer an episode of delirium during hospitalization are at increased risk for adverse outcomes. In a prospective study, researchers reviewed 15 years of medical records for a cohort of 771 patients aged 65 or older with a clinical diagnosis of AD to determine which patients, and under what circumstances, had ...
