Pitney Bowes Inc. (NYSE:PBI) and IBM (NYSE:IBM) today announced a collaboration on IBM's codename "BlueMix" platform-as-a-service to develop new hybrid cloud location services that help businesses unearth deeper connections between their customers, their geography, and their networks to deliver more personalized services and contextually relevant experiences.
IBM's BlueMix is a new development environment that helps clients and developers speed the adoption of hybrid clouds. The initiative combines the strength of IBM software, third-party and open technologies. BlueMix provides DevOps in the cloud – an open, integrated development experience that scales to any level. Pitney Bowes is among the first third-party solutions now available to developers and companies on the new IBM BlueMix Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS).
More than 1.2 billion people around the world today use Pitney Bowes location intelligence solutions when they check in or use location-sharing features on major social media platforms. Pitney Bowes' location intelligence suite of products offers the most comprehensive capabilities to provide businesses with the ability to visualize spatial data and understand relationships between specific locations. Using advanced, hyper-accurate location data, insurers can improve underwriting decisions, telecommunications providers can better analyze network coverage and retailers can deliver more targeted promotions to consumers, based on when and where they are most likely to buy.
For Pitney Bowes, the partnership provides the opportunity to expose key solutions, such as location-based services, e-commerce fulfillment, Internet postage, and parcel management, through IBM's API Management to an extended ecosystem of innovators and developers. It also speeds the availability of new services from Pitney Bowes to vast new markets globally.
"Together, IBM and Pitney Bowes are developing a powerful lineup of cloud services around mobile application development and location intelligence," said Steve Robinson, General Manager, IBM Cloud Platform Services. "This open-platform collaboration will inspire development that accelerates innovation and fosters growth."
"Companies need tools and expertise to manage and integrate APIs, leverage location intelligence and customer data, and then seamlessly extend their services to reach their customers via the cloud and mobile devices," said Roger Pilc, Chief Innovation Officer for Pitney Bowes. "We look forward to delivering Pitney Bowes digital commerce solutions on IBM's BlueMix."

By Elizabeth White The term culture has had a polarizing effect among DevOps supporters. Some propose that culture change is critical for success with DevOps, but are remiss to define culture. Some talk about a DevOps culture but then reference activities that could lead to culture change and there are those that talk about culture change as a set of behaviors that need to be adopted by those in IT. There is no question that businesses successful in adopting a DevOps mindset have seen departmental culture change, the question remains, is culture the leading edge of this change? I posit that in large enterprises,... Feb. 1, 2015 12:45 PM EST Reads: 2,703 |

By Elizabeth White The move in recent years to cloud computing services and architectures has added significant pace to the application development and deployment environment. When enterprise IT can spin up large computing instances in just minutes, developers can also design and deploy in small time frames that were unimaginable a few years ago. The consequent move toward lean, agile, and fast development leads to the need for the development and operations sides to work very closely together. Thus, DevOps becomes essential for any ambitious enterprise today. Feb. 1, 2015 11:00 AM EST Reads: 3,683 |

These teams catch and report on defects, making sure the customer gets the best software possible.

By Yeshim Deniz Docker offers a new, lightweight approach to application portability. Applications are shipped using a common container format and managed with a high-level API. Their processes run within isolated namespaces that abstract the operating environment independently of the distribution, versions, network setup, and other details of this environment. This "containerization" has often been nicknamed "the new virtualization." But containers are more than lightweight virtual machines. Beyond their smaller footprint, shorter boot times, and higher consolidation factors, they also bring a lot of new fea... Feb. 1, 2015 08:15 AM EST Reads: 3,306 |

View All BrandsShop Mephisto by Category
Mephisto Reviews
The shoe is nice looking but has little arch support and runs at least 1/3 size small. For the price it is not that comfortable. I returned it.
I have only been able to wear these shoes in the house because it is cold outside. I feel like they give me better posture and seem to be a great walking shoe. Can't wait for spring to start wearing them everyday. They will go well with capris and summer pants. They do not look clunky at all. I love them!!! They fit true to size. Do not size down.
This is my second pair - so comfortable right out of the box, durable and nice looking. I can walk many miles in these sandals because they support my foot so well. I'm normally a size 10, with a narrower foot. I went up to size 11 and they fit perfectly. The bigger size gives my toes the room they need. I tried a 10 and my toes rubbed on the upturned front edge. The foot bed turns up around the edges. You have to be inside of that upturn or your toes will get sore.
Best shoes ever! I ordered a spare for when these wear out. Most comfortable boot I ever owned. They feel like they're made for my feet. Custom! No break in time needed.
This is a very nice shoe! Looks very sharp! Mephisto is a very comfortable shoe. I have a very hard time finding comfortable shoes. I had a knee replacement 2 years ago. Merrell shoes also are extremely comfortable. I can not say enough how wonderful Zappos are to deal with. They go out of their way to please you! Always when I call Zappos, the sales people are so nice. It a real pleasure doing business with Zappos. Great company!
I rarely write reviews, but these are by far the best boot I have ever worn. I have major back problems and a drop foot, and when I am wearing these I can walk like a normal person. The support from these boots is unbelievable. Pricey - yes, worth it - absolutely!
I have been wearing 'Helen' since 2005 and it's predecessor with the same footbed before that. I have owned seven pairs. I just bought two more, and they and the pair I bought last year are of much lower quality from my older ones. There is much less cushioning and support, and the top straps are thinner. Some of my very old worn out 'Helen's' have more support and cushioning and arch support than these. I'm saddened by the deterioration and that the esteemed brand Mephisto would lower its standards.
Thought these would provide a nice bed for my sensitive feet; was a little more firm than expected. Am returning due to this, otherwise I liked the color and they did look cute with jeans. Thank you Zappos for your return policy.
Classy, well built, lightweight. I've had many compliments from my patients and my feet stay cool while I comply with closed toe safety concerns.
I have several pairs of Mephistos. All size 41, all made in Portugal. Then I ordered these (the bronze is stunning, by the way) in a size 38 mind you, due to the size chart. The 38 was too big, but worse yet it was exceedingly wide in the toe bed. They had to go back.
I typically wear Clarks and Eccos. I decided to spring for the Baduard. It's not terrible, but not that comfortable even with my custom orthotics. Just not enough cushion in the sole. The materials are nice, and they look good. You would not want to do a lot of walking in these. I would have given them 3-4 stars if they were about half this price, but this is way overpriced.
Beware! These shoes are very expensive and I would have expected a better product. I wore them around the house to be sure they were comfortable. Took them for a walk outside and I came home with blisters. Glad I found out before we left on our trip. Very disappointed. When it comes to walking shoes I guess it is better to be fitted for them in a store.
These shoes are so incredibly comfortable that this is my third pair (black, pewter and now navy). They call them sneakers but they are the most elegant sneakers that you will ever own. No one will ever know that you are wearing sneakers except for you and your very comfortable and happy feet. They work as easily with jeans as with dressier pants. The leather is beautiful and durable. I sprayed mine with water-proofing which also helps with staining. I think I will go decide which pair to wear tomorrow.
Excellent quality! I wear Mephisto shoes regularly. These boots are just too big and the smaller size is just too small (I already own a pair in that size). The street shoes are sized better. Mephisto needs a true half size shoe!
Excellent quality! I wear Mephisto shoes regularly. These boots are just too big and the smaller size is just too small (I already own a pair in that size). The street shoes are sized better. Mephisto needs a true half size shoe!
I wish they had an even wider size for this. I ordered the Medium width and wore it everyday. It felt great for the first four weeks then I developed Morton's Neuroma - a nerve irritation between the 3rd & 4th toe due and it felt like I was stepping on a marble. I can't wear these shoes now. The condition went away when I went back to wearing my regular wide shoes.
I wore these through New Zealand and Australia for three weeks. They are the best shoes ever! I love that you can adjust to fit if your feet are swelling, or not, no problem. Adjust the strap on top and at the heel. That is genius. Have the orange ones, I am buying another pair to have a spare.
These are excellent shoes as are all Mephisto shoes. They break in almost instantly and are indestructible. The feature where they overhaul the shoes for a small fee is valuable.
Wanted this shoe last year and didn't order it but decided to do so in anticipation of an upcoming trip. Like how they look and they fit me much better than the Birkenstock sandal that I was also tried. Thanks, Zappos for making it so easy to compare sizes and styles.

"Fading" by Adrianna C.
I stare at the name. I want to open a chat. There is not one thing I want to do more. I put it off for a while, doing homework and all that. Finally, I have to. I can sense the conversation before it happens; opening with a cheerful "hello" on my end and a halfhearted "hi" on yours. It's my turn now, so I ask how you are. You say "fine", and I know you aren't but that's the polite thing to say. Then you ask me, so I say the same thing. We are polite, but the gap between us is evident.
Now it's your turn so you ask about school. A one word answer, "good", is all I say. It's a lie, but it's easier. Then to be nice, I ask you, and you say fine, but I know you're worried about so many things. Next I ask about your school play. I know it was a couple days ago, but I couldn't go see it. Would you have cared if I had? The same answer always applies, and a "fine" is all I get from your end.
Since it really is your turn now, you tell me that your auditions for the next play are tomorrow. I say "good luck", and you say "thanks". It's like a little battle, who's going to break first? I know how it ends. It's how it always ends. Another unoriginal excuse to leave, and another wall built between us.

Chicago Cubs need to retire Phil Cavarretta's No. 44 jersey
Next season will be full of Wrigley Field nostalgia as the Chicago Cubs honor Ron Santo's memory.
But while management acknowledges probably the most popular figure in recent team history, they ought to not forget an all-time Cub who matched Santo in stature, but was out of sight, out of mind the past 55 years or so.
Phil Cavarretta was as much a passionate Cub and Cubs fan as Santo, and the longest-lasting of the modern, post-1900 baseball era. He logged 20 seasons as a Cubs player, beating Ernie Banks by two.
Cavvy slugged a crucial homer against the Cardinals that clinched a tie for the pennant during the Cubs' amazing 21-game winning streak on Sept. 25, 1935. He was National League MVP, batting .355, for the last Cubs pennant winners of 1945. He was the last Cubs player-manager from 1951-53, and the first manager to write in Banks' name in the lineup as a rookie in '53. And he lived and died with the Cubs in later years, just as Santo did, watching from afar at his retirement home in Villa Rica, Ga., an hour south of Atlanta.
Cubs GM Jim Hendry said team chairman Tom Ricketts wants to honor great Cubs, past and present, in his ownership tenure. Such honors must include Cavarretta, who died at 94 a bit more than two weeks after Santo. Cavarretta was one of three remaining players from the last pennant-winning team in 1945.
The Cubs used to have a policy of not retiring numbers unless that player was a Hall of Famer and spent the majority of his career on the North Side. But that changed when Santo's N0. 10 was retired at the end of the 2003 season, the Cubs acknowledging the urgency of the situation with Santo facing bladder-cancer surgery.
Then Hall of Famer Fergie Jenkins, who spent just half his career as a Cub, finally had his No. 31 retired in 2009. The number, which should have been taken out of circulation, had been instead assigned to a rookie named Greg Maddux in 1986 after several lesser lights wore it in between Jenkins' Cubs tenures (1966-73 and 1982-83). The team avoided an awkward situation by retiring No. 31 in honor of both Jenkins and Maddux.
Longtime Cubs clubhouse caudillo Yosh Kawano kept Cavarretta's No. 44 out of circulation until 1971, when then-top pitching prospect Burt Hooton asked Cavarretta if he could use the number. Classy as he was, Cavvy said yes. But after that, as his memory faded, No. 44 was parceled out to a ton of lesser lights: Mike Garman (1976), Dave Giusti (1977), Ken Reitz (1981), Dick Ruthven(1983-86), Drew Hall (1986-88), Steve Wilson (1989-91), Jeff Hartsock (1992), Bill Brennan (1993), Amaury Telemaco (1996-98), Chris Haney (1998), Tony Fossas (1998), Kyle Farnsworth (1999-2004), Roberto Novoa (2005-06), Chad Fox (2008-09) and Jeff Stevens (2010).
That's as far as it should go. No. 44 should be run up the flagpole to join Santo, Jenkins, Maddux, Banks, Billy Williams and Sandberg. The Cubs can give out, say, No. 59 to their 12th pitcher rather than keeping No. 44 active.
Cubs fans surely will give a roar to the memory of "Philabuck." After all, over the years, he has saluted them.
"The fans in Chicago are the best," he said in 1999. "They deserve a winner. They lose, and lose, and the ballpark is still packed."
An eternal Cub like Cavvy should have an eternal reminder of what he meant on that flagpole.

Photos are very deceptive, don't you never ever judge the hotel by the photos they used! It has not been renovated for years and seems to be about to be collapsed at any moment. It is not in the immediate vicinity of the beach region and you have to walk for a minimum of 15 mins to get to the nearest one. Rooms are not comfortable at all and there appears a bad smell everytime you use the shower. The balcony is shared by the next room! The breakfast menu is very simple, it is not well prepared and has nothing to do with the continental breakfast. Not even included in the room price! The staff cannot speak English well and they are not helpful. When I wanted to change my room into a single bed, they refused it and I had to pay more! Why would I pay for a second bed?! Think twice before you choose this hotel.

After building his name producing a number tracks for run down hip-hop acts such as Das Efx, K-Solo, Channel Live, and Big Daddy Kane, on his various compilation albums - Game Over 1 & 2, and Behind the Doors of the 13th Floor - Domingo returns with The Difference, perhaps his strongest effort yet, showing maturity and growth as a producer.
This time, Domingo packs it tightly with a slim 12 tracks, but truthfully still delivers hit & miss material. Nevertheless, when he's aiming for his target, he hits dead center. From the get-go, back-to-back bangers "Certified Official" by Dilated Peoples, and "Rumble" by High & Mighty, show enormous improvement in his production, worthy of a place on either of the respective artists albums. He also cleans-up shop with KRS-ONE and Tonedeff on "Clear 'Em Out" (the song that sparked the whole Nelly "battle"), as Kris plays sucka-emcee duck hunter on one his best performances since "Step Into A World". Meanwhile, Mets capped rookies, Rise, and Punch & Words also fair well over Domingo's new and improved sonic backdrops, with Rise's cute "From The Child To The MC", and Punch & Words heartfelt NYC dedication, "Native New York".
Still, it is evident that Domingo saved some of his better beats for the better emcees, as some of the young upstarts (K-Slash, Deacon Da Villian) either came up short on the quality beats, or simply failed to deliver themselves. Other times, the responsibility of failure falls on the emcees themselves, such as on Craig Mack's road-to-nowhere "The Ha Ha Ha", Sean Price's G'd up "Irrationally Speaking", or another strike from the Cocoa Brovaz's "Play No Games", (following the lousy "Spit Again" from SoundBombing III).
But again, Domingo overall shows vast improvement, and is beginning to develop his own signature style with The Difference. Sooner or later it won't be surprising to see some of these artists asking him to return the favor, in producing tracks for their respective albums, as KRS already has.

American Eagle Outfitters' quarterly profit down 68 percent
American Eagle Outfitters' efforts to boost its online sales are paying off but not enough to overcome the weakness that's dogging retailers.
The South Side-based clothing company said profit fell by 68 percent in its third quarter ended Nov. 2 — a performance CEO Robert Hanson characterized as "unsatisfactory."
The company also was dour on the fourth quarter, which includes the key holiday shopping season, warning that it expected "mid single-digit decline in comparable sales."
Hanson said 2013 was not "the year we planned for," and predicted the clothing business will "remain challenging" in 2014.
American Eagle posted net income of $24.9 million, or 13 cents a share, in the 13 weeks ended Nov. 2, down significantly from net income of $78.6 million, or 39 cents a share, in the 13 weeks ended Oct. 27, 2012.
Revenue was $857.3 million, compared with $910.4 million the year before.
Hanson said the company would work to improve merchandise and marketing, reduce expenses and invest to expand sales on the Internet, in factory stores and outside the United States — all in an effort to combat "an intensely promotional North American retail landscape" that is cutting into sales and income.
To jump-start its focus on merchandise, the company said it hired Chad Kessler as chief merchandising and design officer. Kessler, who starts in February, held similar roles at competing clothing companies Urban Outfitters and Abercrombie & Fitch.
Craig Johnson, president of Customer Growth Partners, a New Canaan, Conn., retail consulting firm, wasn't familiar with Kessler but said his experience with Urban Outfitters is a plus because that company "is a great outfit."
Johnson said American Eagle is seeing weak sales and depressed profit margins because "the entire sector is troubled and facing a huge amount of difficulty" as clothing shoppers expect deep discounts.
But, he said, "Eagle is, we believe, at least beginning to turn the corner."
Sales at stores open for at least a year were down 5 percent in the quarter, an improvement over the previous quarter when store sales were off by 7 percent.
Sales improved slightly at the start of the Christmas shopping season, Hanson said, though he did not specify a percentage increase. Sales through the company's website between Thanksgiving and Cyber Monday were up, he said, jumping 45 percent year over year.
But, he warned, Christmas online sales have been "promotionally driven, which weakens margins."
American Eagle's shares tumbled Friday on Wall Street, closing down more than 9 percent at $14.85.

Scientists Discover 'Earth Twin' Orbiting Another Star ByCaitlin MacNealPublishedApril 17, 2014, 2:46 PM EDT Astronomers announced Thursday that they have discovered a planet most similar to earth orbiting a star 500 lightyears away, according to the New York Times. The planet, Kepler 186f, is larger and colder than earth, but its temperatures lie within the zone that could allow for liquid and therefore life. Scientists can only speculate about this, however, because the star is so far away. Read More →

Five Best: Chic Hostels
A little bit of luxury for backpackers on a budget.
Room, Rotterdam
Room describes itself as Europe's first "theme hostel", but it's classier than that. Situated in the city's old shipping quarter, in an Art Deco building, its decor is stylish. There's the opulent eight-bed Royal room, the colourful six-bed Festival, the folksy five-bed Dutch Delight, and the Love room, just for two. And there's a groovy bar and lounge, with TV, games and internet access.
Room, Van Vollenhovenstraat 62, Rotterdam, The Netherlands (00 31 10 282 7277; www.roomrotterdam.nl). Dorm beds start at €15 (£10), doubles from €50 (£35), room only.
East Seven, Berlin
Opened just over a year ago, this central Berlin hostel is great value for money. The mix of private rooms (with shared showers) and dorms feature "good Ikea" styling and, unusually for some hostels, there's plenty of daylight in all the rooms. Thoughtful extras stretch to supplying baby beds for children. Then there's the fresh coffee, bike rental, internet facilities and access to a large self-catering kitchen and lounge off the garden.
East Seven Hostel, Ammon & Schöpfel GBR, Schwedter Strasse 7, Berlin, Germany (00 49 30 936 222 40; www.eastseven.de). Dorm beds start at €12 (£8.60), doubles from €40 (£28.60), both room only.
Purple Nest Hostel, Valencia
Having already set up one successful designer bunkhouse (Red Hostel) in Valencia, Nest has now opened its second outpost in the city. Like its sister property, it is set in a characterful old building but the grandiose architecture has been reworked to provide some very modern decor and facilities. The latter includes internet access and a DVD library. If that's not enough to keep you entertained, the Purple Nest also has a bar, which sometimes hosts live bands.
Nest Hostel, Plaza Tetuan 5, Valencia, Spain (00 34 963 532 561; www.nesthostelsvalencia.com). Dorm beds start at €14 (£10), private en-suite doubles from €44 (£31), both room only.
Edinburgh Central, Edinburgh
New-generation hostels don't get much snazzier than the new Edinburgh Central, a former office block turned 302-bed bolthole, 10 minutes' walk from Waverley Station. Owned by the Scottish Youth Hostels Association but looking more like one of the new Express by Holiday Inns, the recent £10m refurbishment of this Leith Walk property has seen it equipped with smart pine beds, clean white linen, Wi-Fi access throughout, a licensed café and a separate restaurant.
Edinburgh Central Youth Hostel, 9 Haddington Place, Edinburgh (0131 524 2090; www.edinburghcentral.org). Dorm beds start at £18.50, en-suite doubles from £41.50 and family rooms from £70, room only.
Czech Inn, Prague
This brilliantly named collaboration between the management of two long-standing city hostels opened last March. It recognises that just because its target market is under 35, that doesn't mean they want to be surrounded by Tellytubby colours. Inside an imposing 19th-century building, you'll find exposed brick, snazzy bathrooms and sleek, Scandinavian-style furniture. Not to mention a buzzing bar and café, internet access and a 24-hour reception.
Czech Inn, Francouzska 76, Prague, Czech Republic (00 420 267 267 600; www.czech-inn.com). Dorm beds start at CZK290 (£7), twin rooms with shared bathrooms from CZK1,200 (£29), both room only.

Featured news
Gartner analysts at Gartner Symposium/ITxpo 2012 in Barcelona discussed future scenarios for information technology.
These are the four dominant futures for IT in the organization. They are not mutually exclusive and may exist in combination:
IT as a Global Service Provider
In this scenario, the IT organization is an expanded and integrated shared-service unit that runs like a business, delivering IT services and enterprise business processes. It is virtually or fully centralized, focuses on business areas and business value, adopts a marketing perspective, capitalizes on its internal position and delivers competitive services.
IT as the Engine Room
In this scenario, IT capabilities are delivered rapidly at market-competitive prices. The IT organization succeeds by monitoring technology and market developments, and building expertise in IT asset optimization, sourcing and vendor management, and IT financial management. It delivers ongoing cost improvements, looks for new ways to deliver the same IT capabilities for less, and is highly responsive to changing business needs.
IT "is" the Business
In this scenario, information is the business's explicit product or at least is inseparable from its product. The business is structured around information flow (not process or function) and the IT organization innovates within the value chain, rather than just enabling the supporting services found in every business.
Everyone's IT
In this scenario, business leaders and individual contributors use information and technology aggressively to break through traditional business perimeters and drive ambitious collaboration. The focus is on information, rather than technology. Highly mature businesses embrace this divergent model for its collaborative and innovative potential. While traditionalists may see anarchy in this type of approach, others see liberated creativity. For this reason, this model works in non-traditional situations such as dynamic businesses, startups and R&D/entrepreneurial/community ventures.

Has the time come to give up penetration testing?
Posted on 19 January 2015. | Rather than spend resources on measures such as pen testing, its now perhaps more relevant to find ways of monitoring for, rooting out, identifying and taking remedial action against malware and threats already inside a network.

Wondering about restaurants/cafes/coffeehouses with outdoor seating--especially one that does not have a close up view of a parking lot or busy intersection!
Oklahoma City Dining

I sure hope you/we find one.
There are wonderful things in Oklahoma City (art museum, cowboy museum) but we haven't had much luck finding good places to eat and/or scenes when we have visited relatives. -

What area will you be in? Downtown? Edmond? There is a lot here so if you could narrow down what area you are looking for I can help.
Report Abuse
When I was in OC, there's an area called I belive is called "Bricktown", down on the river that had numerous restaurants with outdoor seating and nice views.
Report Abuse
I will also be attending an evening event at Coles Garden so anything in that area would be of interest as well.
Report Abuse
The only thing by Coles Garden is a mediocre barbeque joint, County Line.
If you want a nice, semi-casual, dining experience near Coles Garden I highly recommend The Metro. It would be about 10-15 minutes to the event at the Garden. (No patio but the food is excellent.) You'll see jeans and sport coats to suits. Mostly the casual side unless there is an event.
Between Penn Square Mall and downtown are many restaurants along Western Avenue. In the downtown area are nice places. We like Museum Cafe for a nice dinner and atmosphere (patio, too). Just before downtown you can dine at a small cafe called Cheever's. It's an old flower shop that is a popular dining spot with a few tables out front.
Red Prime is in the downtown area and a popular spot. Steakhouse and wine spot. Very good but no real patio except for cocktails in front of the restaurant.
The hot new area is Midtown around 13th and Walker. This is up the street from The Museum Cafe and considered part of the downtown area. Stella's is a new modern Italian restaurant but none of these have patios with a view.
If you want a touristy area go to Bricktown. You can dine at TexMex, Italian and other spots along the canal. The food isn't that great but visitors seem to like it.
Also, in Bricktown are a few nice dining spots -- The Mantel, Mickey Mantle's and Nonna's.
If you want a nice patio dining experience you can't beat dining at Red Rock Grill at Lake Hefner. It sits on the lake and has a great view of the water and sunset. The food is good and portions are large. It's a nice spot inside or out.
Feel free to email if you'd like for driving directions and anything else I can help with.

Thanks for your help. Redrock Grill is very close to my hotel I see, but only open in the evenings. We will give it a try.
I was very sad to see that the botanical garden has just closed for a year! I was planning on going there. Any great parks for walking, etc?
