I found this on the Martin Luthor King Waterfall Monument outside the Moscone Center in San Francisco. The picture may be hard to make out.
The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands in times of challenge and controversy.

CCIE Voice Exam Updates
A couple of updates to the CCIE Voice Lab Exam
LAB EXAM REFRESH: Effective July 16th, 2009, important content changes will be implemented in the CCIE Voice Lab Exam. Candidates for lab exams scheduled July 16th, 2009 or later should prepare using the v3.0 Lab Equipment and Software Versions. Candidates scheduled on or before July 15th, 2009 should continue using the v2.0 Lab Equipment and Software Versions.
CCIE Voice Lab Exam Adding Short Answer Questions:
Also effective July 16, 2009, the Cisco CCIE Voice Lab Exam will feature a new type of question format in a section called Core Knowledge. In this new section, candidates will be asked a series of four open-ended questions that require a short, typewritten response (typically several words). The questions will be randomly drawn from a pool of questions on topics currently eligible for testing on the CCIE Voice Lab Exam. No new topics are being added. Candidates will have up to 30 minutes to complete the Core Knowledge section of the exam, and may not return to the questions later. First introduced to the CCIE Routing and Switching lab exam in February 2009, Core Knowledge questions will eventually be added to all CCIE tracks. The changes allow Cisco to maintain strong exam security, and they help ensure that only qualified candidates are awarded CCIE certification.Monday, June 15, 2009
