A Six Sigma level process would exhibit no more than 3.4 defects per million opportunities. Very few processes achieve this level of performance and consequently most organizations endure very high costs due to poor quality.

The MIT Blackjack Team Story
The MIT Blackjack Team Story
What's the first thing that enters your mind when you think of MIT, the world-renowned Massachusetts Institute of Technology: engineering genius, mathematical wizard, visionary, geek, hacker? If you chose any one of those, you would be correct. Mix them all together, add some smoke and mirrors, big-time anonymous investors, a dash of anarchy for good measure, and you get one of the best scams of all times—the MIT Blackjack Team—the ultimate in high stakes, genius-backed hacking! Infamy is nothing new to MIT.

Rippingtons Black Diamond Smooth Jazz Music CD Review
Black Diamond is the latest release from Rippingtons, and I can only think of one word to describe this CD? AWESOME!
This one grabs your attention right from the very beginning with Black Diamond and won?t let go until the very last note of the very last song Jewel Thieves, which by the way is another great track.
Black Diamond has a pleasantly varied, mix of 11 tracks that are very well written and brilliantly performed songs by these clearly outstanding musicians. With many of the songs displaying a lot of the kind emotion that makes for a really great listen. Seemingly drawing from what I can only imagine are their own real life experiences. At different points touching on the most real emotions of love, heartbreak, pain, failed relationships and unattainable romance. They?re all here.
One of the nicer things about a CD like this is when the talent is this rich even if Smooth Jazz isn?t your favorite style you still can?t help but appreciate the greatness of the musicians.
I?m of the opinion that Black Diamond is certainly some of this groups best work in a few years. A totally enjoyable CD and an outstanding release. What I call must have music. I give it two thumbs up because it?s a collection that even the casual Smooth Jazz fan can appreciate and enjoy.
While this entire album is really very good some of my favorites are track 2 - Deep Powder, track 5 - In Another Life, and track 3 - Seven Nights In Rome
My SmoothLee Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 7 - If I Owned The World. Outstanding!
