Show Host Scott Hayes CommentaryNo technical difficulties today! Audio was good for everyone, my laptop didn't overheat and crash, and GoToWebinar successfully transcoded the WMV replay to native windows format! YAY! On top of this, today's presentations were awesome! When 100% of our live studio audience learns something, you know there is some great content! I deeply appreciate everyone's participation and willingness to share tidbits of their knowledge with our DB2 community! Due to travel and client obligations, judge Martin Hubel was unable to participate today. Thank you @cristianmolaro for substituting for Martin. Cristian is an IBM DB2 GOLD Consultant and Information Management Champion, an IDUG CPC volunteer, and the author of several IBM Redbooks. @ember_crooks continues to do an AWESOME job of blogging about DB2's GOT TALENT 2014 at db2commerce.com and I'm thankful for all of the details she is providing!

Top 9 Finalists and their TopicsHere's a quick list covering what you can learn about from today's show. Unfortunately, Rob had to drop out due to a family matter. It's the end of the road for Swapna and Sreeharsha as well - they didn't get enough votes to be in our Top 6 and our judges did not "save " them for our March 21st show. Therefore, you will be voting for 7 finalists today.- Swapna, DB2 LUW Table Partitioning for Performance
- Ian, Querying your Database History Doesn't Have to Suck!
- Sreeharsha, DB2 z/OS Multi Row Fetch Cursors
- Raja, Absolute Control with DB2 LUW WLM (Workload Manager)
