Tiger as stated before is none of these things

He is veryrelatable, has appeared all over television, and is extremelylikable.Tiger, as stated before, is none of these things.The true judgement on the number of supporters Woods lost will be seen in the coming months. But so far, the public continues to react in a verypeculiar way.People are more intrigued by the story than they are upset with it, which is odd when you compare it to the situation of the athletes listed above.Society adores Tiger Woods, that can be said with not a single a doubt. It will continue to do so, barring anyinexcusable andunforeseen acts in the future.The answer as to why will remain unknown for as long as the question shall be asked.It is plausible that the public is simply unsure of how to react to such a shocking story. Or maybe it is because of the way in which the story was first reported, giving the initial thought that Tiger Woods was in serious condition.Whichever and whatever it may be, Tiger Woods should be extremely thankful to have retained almost equal popularity as before his life was turned upside down..

SAN FRANCISCO, CA, Jan 07 (MARKET WIRE) Riverbed Technology (NASDAQ: RVBD), the technology and market leader inWAN optimization, today announced that its customer, Canadian CancerSociety (Ontario Division), is among the winners of the 2008 InfoWorld100 awards. The annual awards name 100 companies that have made the bestuse of technology to enhance their business. The InfoWorld 100 awardscelebrate IT projects that use technology in smart, innovative, creativeways to meet business and technical objectives. This is the secondconsecutive year that Riverbed(R) customers have been recognized byInfoWorld 100 for success with WAN optimization deployments. Last year'swinners included Riverbed customers Gensler and Defense ContractManagement Agency.Riverbed offers a complete WAN optimization solution that acceleratesapplications and data for remote offices, data centers, and mobile workersacross wide area networks (WANs), accelerating access to applications anddata up to 100 times faster. Currently the Society's Ontario division has one provincialoffice and 36 community offices.

More than 65,000 volunteers work withabout 470 dedicated staff members across the province.The search for a solution began when staff at the Society's Ontariodivision realized they needed to replace some old legacy servers. GerryHolmes, the division's director of information technology, reviewedseveral options, including a costly network and server upgrade. After someresearch, Holmes determined that even with the upgrade option the Societywould not receive the same performance increases that a Riverbedimplementation would provide. Additionally, if the upgraded network orservers went down, the Society's remote sites could be out of commissionfor days before replacement equipment could be shipped to the site and atechnician could install it.After a successful pilot program, the Society deployed over 40 RiverbedSteelhead appliances and the Central Management Console to manage all theSteelhead appliances from a central location. This enabled theconsolidation of 35 file servers, which reduced the maintenance load forthe small IT department and enabled better data protection for its staff.The Steelhead appliances provided the Society's users with LAN-likeapplication performance across the WAN with mission-critical applicationsincluding its CRM system, Exchange 2003 and Citrix. The overall processresulted in end user satisfaction and improved collaboration andproductivity across all of its locations."By implementing Riverbed's solution, we were able to consolidate fileservers from our more remote sites, which reduced the maintenance load forour IT department and also enabled us to provide better data protectionfor our staff," said Holmes. "Riverbed's products also gave our end usersLAN-like application performance across the wide area network (WAN), whichensured end user satisfaction and improved collaboration across all of ourlocations."The deployment of the Steelhead appliances allowed the organization toavoid the costs of upgrading legacy servers, which ranges from $5,000 -$6,000 each, in addition to avoiding the manpower requirements associatedwith maintenance, such as nightly back-ups.
