&lt;p style="font-family:Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif;line-height:19px;"&gt;I'm doing two new webcasts next week on Wednesday, December 19th, one in the morning and the other after lunch.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="font-family:Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif;line-height:19px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 style="font-family:Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif;line-height:19px;"&gt;SSDs are a Game Changer for SQL Server Storage&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p style="font-family:Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif;line-height:19px;"&gt;No, session is not exclusively about SSDs. &amp;nbsp;But this is my first session on IO and storage tuning that emphasizes SSDs over hard disks. &amp;nbsp;As Bob Dylan said "Times, they are a'changin'". &amp;nbsp;This session on Wednesday, December 19th at 11:30 AM EST, sponsored by Astute Networks, takes you through all of the basics of storage and IO tuning, regardless of the underlying storage technology. &amp;nbsp;I'll show you how SQL Server handles storage structures, how to identify IO activity on Windows and SQL Server, and best practices for minimizing IO bottlenecks. &amp;nbsp;Register now for:&lt;a title="Kevin Kline's Storage IO Best Practices for SQL Server" href="http://bit.ly/UcXYI3"&gt;&amp;nbsp;Storage IO Best Practices for SQL Server and a New Approach to Solving Application Performance Issues&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="font-family:Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif;line-height:19px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 style="font-family:Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif;line-height:19px;"&gt;Write Better SQL Queries&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p style="font-family:Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif;line-height:19px;"&gt;The next webcast on Wednesday, December 19th at 2 PM EST, is with me, Aaron Bertrand &amp;nbsp;(&lt;a href="https://twitter.com/#!/AaronBertrand"&gt;Twitter&amp;nbsp;&lt;/a&gt;|&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://sqlblog.com/blogs/aaron_bertrand/rss.aspx"&gt;Blog&lt;/a&gt;)&amp;nbsp;and SQLCruise Impresario &amp;amp; Microsoft MVP Tim Ford &amp;nbsp;(&lt;a href="https://twitter.com/#!/sqlagentman"&gt;Twitter&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;|&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.ford-it.com/sqlagentman/"&gt;Blog&lt;/a&gt;)&amp;nbsp;as we take you through the query tuning process, discussing important DMVs to use during query tuning, as well as demonstrating several essential query tuning techniques that every SQL developer should know. &amp;nbsp;Not only are we presenting an hour of top quality technical content, we’ll also be giving away some cool prizes, including the grand prize of a paid registration for the upcoming&amp;nbsp;&lt;a target="_blank" href="http://elink.sqlsentry.net/c/1/?aId=67857085&amp;amp;requestId=b34612-273953cd-e600-4a18-979a-a9f2ded860bd&amp;amp;rId=lead-a407ed107f65de119513001e0b614992-c233a49718324979b0d8efc0614ff5d0&amp;amp;ea=aunefuonetre=pbz=vagrepreir&amp;amp;dUrl=http%3A%2F%2Fsqlcruise.com%2F2013-cruises%3F_cldee%3DbmhhcnNoYmFyZ2VyQGludGVyY2VydmUuY29t&amp;amp;uId=0"&gt;SQLCruise Miami&lt;/a&gt;, a $1,395 value! &amp;nbsp;Register now for:&amp;nbsp;&lt;a title="SQL Server Query Tuning Best Practices, Hosted by Kevin Kline, Aaron Bertrand, and Tim Ford" href="http://bit.ly/UskPPm"&gt;SQL Server Query Tuning Best Practices, Hosted by Kevin Kline and Aaron Bertrand with special guest Tim Ford&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
