How Applications will or will not Meet the Cloud in 2015
The New Year is a time for resolutions and the enterprise is making some of its own. Beginning with leaving behind the memories of growing pains in cloud computing and coming into a higher, or maybe deeper, level of transformation.
In 2015 as enterprise IT becomes even more complex, the dollar spend put towards the cloud shall remain a priority. According to recent IDG research called Computerworld Forecast 2015 that surveyed 194 IT professionals, more than 40 percent of the respondents said their organizations will spend more on software as a service (SaaS) and a mix of public, private, hybrid and community clouds. Additionally, cloud computing initiatives are the single most important initiative today, deployed in 16 percent of IT departments surveyed.
Seeing as how the appeal of the cloud is catching the eyes of those spending the money, it's safe to say that the enterprise is going to leverage it into additional forays, while ensuring not too rattle the foundation at the core of the business mission: security and revenue.
Here are three predictions for the upcoming year:
Cloud agility will drive non-core apps into public clouds.
Successful enterprises that view IT as a strategic differentiator will start driving non-core applications into public clouds, for two reasons.
-The speed and agility that cloud provisioning offers over internal IT provisioning can offer a strategic advantage and drive the business forward. This trumps the relative costs (or cost savings) of cloud infrastructure irrelevant.
-Enterprises that (rightly) see their customer's Internet experience as an extension of their brand experience realize that any delays adversely affect them in the market place – and most IT projects take longer than desired as it is, so saving weeks (or months) on the provisioning cycle can be significant.
Production applications stepping up to the cloud:
During the last two years, the enterprise familiarized itself with cloud usage for some DevOps and QA environments. Now, they are ready to move production applications into the cloud. I have even heard several times of plans to move the entire infrastructure into the cloud, within a seven year time frame. The initial roll out will be non-core applications because enterprise IT developers need time to develop experience in building cloud ready applications, where scalability and performance can be achieved without resorting to specialized hardware, tuning, or vertical scaling, instead of using horizontal scaling systems that are tolerant of failures that will occur in clouds, (such as lambda architecture). Currently, most of that experience is present in SaaS companies.
Core mission critical applications are staying put:
In other words, core mission critical applications are going to remain in enterprise controlled and managed datacenters, at least for the next few years since the risks of giving up that control are too high and IT knows this. However, the management and monitoring of hybrid infrastructure will make for an area of keen interest.
Just in the past year, the enterprise has come quite a long way with the cloud. Companies like IBM are calling it a breakthrough year for their cloud business, as other are leaving behind their initial skepticism surrounding and seeking more ways to leverage the cloud in the long term. Meanwhile, research firm Markets and Markets estimates the global cloud market is expected to hit $121 billion next year.
Not all this change is easy, but the enterprise is bound to get closer than it ever has before.

At the recent Amazon re:Invent show, LogicMonitor demonstrated its new AWS integration and monitoring. (We also announced another set of free tools – JMX Command Line Tools – but more on that later.)
"Why", you may be asking, "is this interesting? Doesn't Amazon provide monitoring itself via CloudWatch? And in any case, aren't there many 'cloud centric' companies that do this?"
Good questions. Read more »

This week LM's Chief Network Architect "Real Deal Jeff Behl" was featured on the DABCC podcast with Doug Brown. The interview journey covered lots of ground and sparked our interest about IT industry predictions for 2014. There are so many exciting things happening in IT Ops these days it's hard to name just a few.
Before it's too late, here's our turn at early year prognosticating.
1) 2014 is (at long last) the year for public Cloud testing. The definition of what "Cloud" is depends on whom you ask. To our SaaS Ops veterans, it means a group of machines running off premise for which someone else is responsible for managing. Given Cloud can mean lots of things — from public Cloud infrastructure (Amazon), Cloud services (Dyn or SumoLogic) to Cloud apps (Google Apps) to SaaS platforms (SalesForce and LogicMonitor!). The shared definition among all things Cloud is simple: it's off premise (i.e., outside your data center or co-lo) hosted infrastructure, applications or services. For most enterprises currently , Cloud usually represents a public data center, offering from the very generic VM compute resources to specific services such as high performance NoSQL databases and Hadoop clusters. Enterprises are starting to gear up to test how the public Cloud fits in its data center strategy. In the past month alone, several of our Fortune 1000 clients confirmed they've set aside 2014 budget and IT team resources to test public cloud deployments.

VMWorld 2013! Time to get your virtualization on! Last year was LogicMonitor's first time at the conference. In the past year we've grown a ton, have more product to show off, and look forward to attending the show again. For those of you who have not been to VMWorld, it is a grand event. It is held in the Moscone Center in downtown San Francisco, and the vendor exhibitor room is huge! You could probably put 2 football fields inside.
This year we will be located at booth number 2412 (in the same aisle as Rackspace). Read more »

LogicMonitor is known for robust IT infrastructure and application monitoring, but did you know that cloud providers use LogicMonitor to determine customer requirements and to evaluate new business potential of customer prospects? Sometimes we come across a client that is taking great advantage of our powerful data collection abilities to discover new systems insights. We figured our cloud providers clients would appreciate our sharing!
Zumasys is a Southern California-based cloud services provider that helps companies move their technology infrastructure and applications to the cloud. For three years, Zumasys has used LogicMonitor to monitor its core cloud infrastructure, while adding LogicMonitor to its cloud product. As part of its cloud services offering, Zumasys gives customers role-based access to LogicMonitor in order to view the performance of its proportioned cloud services.
Before Zumasys brings a new hosting client on board, it installs a LogicMonitor collector in the client's network, tracking bandwidth usage, data quality, storage and computing resource utilization along with any critical operating system alerts that LogicMonitor can find. Zumasys then uses the data collected to determine the resources it will require to move the hosting client onto its cloud platform.
"We are more accurate with our estimates and better prepared to migrate customers to our cloud", says Paul Giobbi, President of Zumasys. "With close to 70% growth of our hosting platform in 2013, LogicMonitor's ability to help size potential customer resources has been critical to our success."
LogicMonitor is a playground of data just waiting to be used. If you want more ideas for how to use our services to get data insights contact one of our support engineers, we'll be happy to chat.
Check out Zumasys testimonial interview.
'Meraki' may not be the best known name in networking, but their technology is going to touch you soon if it hasn't already. Meraki was just acquired by Cisco in November for a cool $1.2 billion to incorporate into their new Cloud Networking Group.
Cisco is predicting explosive growth in cloud computing, the practice of running applications and storing data on remote servers accessed over the internet instead of running apps and storing data on your local computer. And increasingly, these cloud services will be accessed with with mobile devices over wireless networks.
What Meraki brings to the table is their cloud managed wireless network infrastructure hardware. The Access Point (AP) is the critical bridge from the wired to the wireless world. The unique feature of the Meraki APs is you plug them into your wired network, the AP connects to the mother ship at Meraki, and you go to meraki.com to configure and manage them via a web UI.
This is a stellar leap from the typically clumsy and slow embedded web interfaces found on most APs, and the emphasis is on managing your wireless network as a whole, not a bunch of individual APs. The web UI is clean and easy to use, the network can be managed from anywhere, and the APs are kept up to date by Meraki with automatic firmware and security updates.
If you're an MSP providing IT services for desktop environments where basic up/down server monitoring will do, an RMM tool is more than adequate. But for MSPs offering fixed-fee monthly service packages, or cloud services, important advantages can be gained by complementing an RMM tool with an advanced performance monitoring solution.
Monitoring customers on fixed-fee contracts
When you offer an "all you can eat" package where you are on the hook for anything that breaks in your customer's infrastructure, the ability to be proactive and fix small problems before they become big problems becomes paramount.
An advanced performance monitoring solution will monitor your customer's high-end systems (network, servers, virtualization, storage, etc…) in such depth that you will know about problems well before your customer. And when there is an issue, these tools provide historical trending graphs that enable your front line help desk technicians to solve many problems without having to bring in the help of more costly engineers.

"A cloud is made of billows upon billows upon billows that look like clouds. As you come closer to a cloud you don't get something smooth, but irregularities at a smaller scale."
~Benoit Mandelbrot
The cloud, as seen by the end user, is a wondrous tool full of seamless functionality and performance limited only by their internet connection. The truth is, the "water particles" which make up these clouds are machines. And machines fail. Through the use of cloud providers like Amazon's EC2, Rackspace and others, we get to add a layer of abstraction between the machines and ourselves and share in the wonder of end users.
There's a catch: Adding layers of abstraction creates complexity, and complexity increases the potential for problems. In addition, while you no longer need to worry about the state of the physical machine, if your cloud instance runs out of CPU, memory, or disk space, your application will take a hit. So, whether shipping hand-built servers to data centers across the globe or spinning up new machines from a cloud provider, the need for management and monitoring is paramount. But fear not! Now, thanks to LogicMonitor's hosted, full stack, datacenter monitoring being integrated with RightScale's cloud computing management, you can have your RightScale managed hosts automatically added into your LogicMonitor portal! The next time a huge surge of traffic forces you to spin up a few hosts, monitoring them is taken care of.
Between the cloud management services provided by RightScale and the full stack, SaaS-based data center monitoring provided by LogicMonitor, you can know exactly what's happening with your devices, both physical and… nebulous.
How to Use LogicMonitor RightScripts in RightScale
Kablooee! That was the sound I (and many others) heard coming from one of Amazon Web Services (aka, the "cloud") availability zones in Northern Virginia on June 30th (http://venturebeat.com/2012/06/29/amazon-outage-netflix-instagram-pinterest/, http://gigaom.com/cloud/some-of-amazon-web-services-are-down-again/). The sound was a weather-driven event causing one of Amazon's data centers to lose power. And what happens when a data center loses power (and, for unspecified reasons, UPSs and generators don't kick in)? Crickets. Computers turn off. Lights stop blinking. The "sounds of silence" (but not how Simon and Garfunkel sing about it).
By this point, you either have your monitoring outside your datacenter, and were notified about the outage, or only became aware belatedly, and regretted the decision not to put monitoring outside. But what happens after power has been restored? Well, that's when good monitoring comes into play yet again…
As much hype as there has been surrounding "clouds" and "cloud computing" (and for good reason – they are changing the face of infrastructure), "clouds" are still a bunch of computers sitting in some data center – somewhere – requiring power, cooling, etc.
One of the nice things about going with a cloud service for your infrastructure is you are largely removed from needing to monitor hardware – this is all (presumably) done for you. No having to worry about fan speeds, system board temperatures, power supplies, RAID status, etc. However, this doesn't alleviate the need for good and intricate monitoring of your application "stack". This is everything else that makes your applications go — databases, JVM statistics, Apache status, system CPU, disk IO performance, system memory, application response time, load balancer health, etc etc. This is the real guts of your organization – and the things that you need to know are working after a reboot. And whether you are in the cloud or not, at some point all your systems are going to be rebooted. I guarantee it, so plan for it.
So what happens when your environment does reboot? It doesn't matter whether you are in the cloud or not, when power is restored you need to make sure all the components of your software stack are back up. Across all of your systems. Hopefully your disaster recovery plan does not revolve around a single "hero" sysadmin who merely needs to be pulled away from an IRC chat, a MW3 campaign, or the bar (of the three, the last is the most worrisome). Any available admin should be able to identify, via your monitoring system, what components of the stack came back up and are functioning, and which are not. Your monitoring dashboard, listing all machines and services, is your eyes and ears – without it you are blind and dumb (so to speak.) When all alerts have cleared from monitoring, you should be comfortable in knowing that service has been completely restored. Good monitoring is by far the greatest safeguard you can have in making sure all systems are functioning again after a reboot, and in the shortest amount of time.
The take-home: deploy good monitoring. Make sure all aspects of your stack are monitored. All of them. When all of your machines are rebooted (at 3AM in the morning), how do you know all aspects of your stack are back up and functioning? Good monitoring. Good monitoring = LogicMonitor. Check us out. We eat our own dog food (see the next article on the "Leap Second" bug to get an account of this), and we are SaaS service, meaning if all your systems do reboot, your monitoring system is not a part of it. We can help you recover faster from any outage, guaranteed.

I really like this cleanser as I find it more suitable for my combination skin. Has a lovely smell and left my skin soft and smooth. A little bit goes a long way. I find that damping my face and hands prior to using the balm makes it go further and I can sometimes go without moisturiser. I have also used Emma Hardie cleansing balm in the past and I think that has slight edge over Speiza and the smell of Emma is devine. I also found Emma Hardie bit too oily in the summer months for my skin. But Spieza is certainly worth a try, both are same price.
Lovely stuff, leaves my dry skin clean and silky.
This is the best makeup remover and cleanser, and it is totally natural. I also use it as a facial mask.

It starts when me and my gf of 6 yrs broke up. It was a bad relationship, and I rarely finished during intercourse but, I was able to keep an erection. After we broke up I started masturbating more. Probably 3 times a day on average (sometimes less, sometimes more). Erections were strong and I was able to finish. My problems started when i was really drunk and I took this girl to my friends place after a night at the bars. It got to the point where we were about to have sex and I couldn't get it up. I played it off like I was too drunk but in reality it really worried me, as I've never experienced that before. I continued to masturbate.
The months following, with every girl I would bring home, I'd lose my erection right when we were about to have sex. It started to get the point where I'd have weak erections even when masturbating sometimes, only getting fully erect when I was about to finish. I can get erect of they go down or me or sometimes during foreplay, but it just never seems as strong of an erection. Admittedly, I think I can get strong erections when I masturbate and don't think about it.
Now I'm with a girl and I can stay hard enough is most positions, but not rock hard unless We are doing doggy style. Just recently, the passed two times, I couldn't keep it up at all no matter what. Which really started to worry me. Now I'm afraid next time I see her it's going to happen again too.
I have a feeling half of it is in my head, the other half from masturbating / watching too much porn? I'm not sure I'm really worried this is irreversible and I won't be able to have a successful sex life. Most of the time instead of actually being excited for sex, I'm worrying about my erection and if I'll be able to actually get one.
Any help would be great fully appreciated

Every girlfriend I have ever had the very first time we try having sex I have major ED issues. I will be erect while we are making out and then as soon as we take the clothes off to get to it, I lose my erection. This has happened with every single girlfriend I have ever had.
But after we manage to have sex a few times together I never have this problem ever again, I can maintain an erection no problem. It is almost like a psychological thing with every new girl.
Does anyone have any experience with this? I also seem to have a physical problem though. If I go from laying down to standing up, or vice versa, my erection seems to go away. I was making out laying down on the couch the other day with my girlfriend for an hour straight and I had an erection the entire time. As soon as we stood up to move to the bedroom, my erection went away almost immediately, like within 10 seconds.
Why??View Thread
Some years ago when my chronic pain got so much worse, I was not able to have sex for a long time. Every time I did have sex with my husband it always hurt so much. I did see my gynecologist and asked her if there was something wrong with me and she did not give me answers to my problem. Finally I had to quit taking the oral hormones due to another problem and my dr. prescribed a medicine that has hormones in it that you put inside of you. Well, that did not help with the pain either.
Recently, I made myself available to my husband and for some reason he was not able to perform at all. I was just shocked and blamed myself for what did not happen. I have heard of men needing to take some type of medicine when their own hormones are not working very well.
I am at a loss to find answers to this problem because I really want to be intimate with my husband. We always got along so much better when we were able to have sex, but now it is a thing of the past.
One more thing that might be causing him trouble is that he still has a job and these new employers are new and there is a lot of stress going on at his job.
Does anyone have any suggestions that might be of help?

to talk to. My husband has erectile dysfunction, I believe, and he won't go to the doctor and see about getting Viagra. He relies on over the counter drugs and our relationship is falling apart. The problem is he has to be "alone" and masturbate to get hard enough, then he just wants to stick it in. This hurts and is very boring as well. I cant get lubricated and regular lubricant doesn't seem to help. If he took Viagra, would he be able to maintain an erection during foreplay. I know nothing about his issues, and he will not talk at all about them.View Thread

Manning-tron 3000 processor encounters critical failure during Super Bowl
MIAMI, FL - Despite promises that new updates would make the Manning-tron 3000 football robot better than ever, a Microsoft update performed just before Super Bowl 44 left the Manning-tron 3000 unable to perform at a championship level.
"We were convinced that this was going to be a clean install." explained Microsoft software developer Nick Yang. "But there appeared to be a bug that sub-optimized the system's effectiveness and caused several catastrophic football errors." Several attempts to reboot the system during time outs did not help Manning-tron 3000 sustain a winning drive.
Technicians may have found a contributing factor for the Manning-tron 3000 declining performance after half-time. Because the system is accustomed to experiencing only excellence on the football field, technicians say Manning-tron 3000 found it very difficult to process the exceptionally poor quality half-time musical performance by The Who.
The Manning-tron 3000 was developed as a partnership between the Indianapolis Colts and Microsoft in 1998 and secretly replaced the organic brain of University of Tennessee quarterback Peyton Manning. His father, former NFL quarterback Archie Manning authorized the procedure. Archie commented on the conversion saying, "Even though he's just a cyborg, Manning-tron 3000 is still my favorite kid. He has a motherboard only a father could love. I hope we can make Eli a cyborg sometime soon. It would bring our family closer together."
Colts executives have not ruled out the possibility that the New Orleans Saints hired a hacker to embed a malicious virus set to activate during the Super Bowl within the Manning-tron 3000. The Saints organization denied the allegations and commented, "Those types of failures are similar to many of the everyday malfunctions we see with our office computers and laptops that run on Windows 7, XP, and Vista."

De Gouveia: We see manganese is making news, tell us a bit about that and the South African link. Creamer: This manganese is a hardy annual. We have got 80 % of the world reserves and only 15 % of the market. That is a mismatch and we are loosing out. Our opportunity loss is huge. It is all around discussing logistics, rail, which way is it going to go. We are only exporting about 4-million tons at the moment, and we want to go to 12-million or 16-million tons. There is scope for that in the market, there is big demand for steel in which this manganese is used. There is an outlook of growing demand, so we should be doing something, but we continue to discuss the rail. This is not getting us anywhere. Now, the debate is hotting up as to whether we should go to the deep-level Coega Port or whether we should go to Saldanha. The industry seems to favour Saldanha, Transnet, as a new voice now back with the newly reinstated Siyabonga Gama, seems to favour Coega. So we are back to where we started and we are losing time on this. I would say that what South Africa actually needs is a good decision of which way it is going go, because the manganese story is becoming the saddest mining story that we've got. We don't really add value to it, but perhaps if we go the Coega route there could be some value addition with a ferromanganese smelter at the Coega port, but we need a heavy haul-line there. I think the Western Cape is as anxious in its new IDZ to get it at Saldanha, so the fight is on, but who is going to win it we don't know. De Gouveia: Moving from the sad news to what I suppose would be good news or happy news in terms of South Africa's gold and diamond mining. Creamer: Yes, we've got some fantastic expertise in gold and diamond mining and we should take it into Africa, because a lot of the times the Australians and Canadians beat us at that. But, one person who hasn't been beaten at all is Dr Mark Bristow from Randgold Resources, which is listed on the London Stock Exchange. We can remember well how he formed it here in the mid-90s in Selby, down the road from Johannesburg. He has built three gold mines in Africa already. He built Marula, which was a starting point and became a golden gorilla really in Mali, then in Loulo. He went into Tongon at the height of the war and never missed a beat there. He read that political situation so well. And now, right into the Congo, he is going to build the biggest one ever. That is the Kibali mine, which is a R10-billion investment. It is going to be as big as our Blyvooruitsig mine. We are talking about a big gold mine. That is the gold story from the South Africans. Also, South Africans are becoming very involved in this diamond mine in Sierra Leone, the Koidu expansion. Again, a billion rand project and even companies like Botes and Kennedy, a small company from the Northern Cape, involved in civil engineering and contracting. They are up there doing work that is developed by Benny Steinmetz who has got contacts in South Africa and currently owns the Bateman group. That group also does a lot of beneficiation of diamonds in South Africa. So, again, South African involvement in Sierra Leone and also in the Democratic Republic of Congo with gold. De Gouveia: While we are on the topic of other African countries, lets take a look at Botswana. Do you think at some point that it is going to grow into a new regional energy hub? Creamer: You know, we associate Botswana with diamonds. That country has been too connected to diamonds and it knows it's got to diversify. Now we see a new dawn glimmering and it is around coal and coal gas and even sun. It is fantastic to see the entrepreneurial energy that is being spent there as these young foreign investors come in, particularly from the Australian side, listed on the Australian Stock Exchange and turning the coal opportunity to account and firming up how much coal is there. At 212-billion tons of coal there, there is a lot of energy possibility and with India now importing lower-grade coal it is opening up a new paradigm. There is some very exciting thinking from our own Exxaro, listed on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange, and they are talking about a combined base-load station that will involve solar power and it will also involve coal-gas. So, not the coal exactly, but coal-bed-methane, where there is a lot of coal-bed-methane natural gas in Botswana. He is saying that, the protagonist of this project from Exxaro, that we could have the generation in the day of solar power and at night we could use this natural gas, which is the carbon-bed-methane, so you lower your carbon footprint dramatically and you are able to export this electricity into the region. We know that Botswana is poised now to become, possibly in the future, a net exporter of the electricity into the region and the region needs that. If the government can get its infrastructure right and it needs that Trans Kalahari line Beira and possibly Maputo. If you can get that plus its energy and we can see it building up its power grid there, the transmission line development is coming through plus new power stations, Botswana could become the energy jewel of the Southern African Development Community. De Gouveia: Would or could South Africa benefit in a tangible way from this? Creamer: Well, South Africa spurned their offerings so far. We see a lot of people that have come across just close to the border of South Africa and said we will give you energy over the fence, but it is the price at which we want to sell it that becomes a negotiating point with Eskom and, so far, Eskom has moved away from these independent power producers. They are convinced that there will be a time that this region is going to be short of energy, is going to be crying out for that energy from them. So they are not only looking at exporting the coal, but they are also looking at power station potential. Even Sasol-type coal-to-liquids opportunities. De Gouveia: Thanks very much. Martin Creamer is publishing editor of Engineering News and Mining Weekly, he'll be back with us at the same time next week.

Flickr Hive Mind is a search engine as well as an experiment in the power of Folksonomies. All thumbnail images come directly from Flickr, none are stored on Flickr Hive Mind. These photos are bound by the copyright and license of their owners, the thumbnail links take to you to the photos (as well as their copyright and license details) within Flickr. Because some other search engines (Google, etc.) index parts of Flickr Hive Mind, you may have been led here from one of them. Welcome to Flickr Hive Mind, almost certainly the best search engine for photography on the web. If you are a Flickr user and use Flickr Stats you may have seen people being led to your photos via Flickr Hive Mind (as a Referrer). Flickr requires that I inform you that Flickr Hive Mind uses the Flickr API, but is neither endorsed nor certified by them. There are literally hundreds of other web tools built around the Flickr API, see Flickr Bits for a bunch of examples. If you are unhappy with your photos' presence on this site, you can (a) make your photos private for yourself, friends, and family. These settings will be instantly honored by Flickr Hive Mind and all other API-driven applications. (b) Hide your photos globally from text and tag searches on 3rd party sites that use the Flickr API, via your preference settings on Flickr. See the privacy tab at: http://flickr.com/account/. To also remove yourself from searches for specific user names, you will need to set your Flickr profile to be hidden from searches. Flickr has finally created a single page with all these settings, this is much easier to do now and is the preferred method - it will shut down all API driven sites. (c) Finally, you can Banish Yourself From Flickr Hive Mind. To banish yourself from Flickr Hive Mind, you must first authenticate to Flickr, which lets Flickr Hive Mind identify who you are.

For a second time this week, WWE kicked off the show with CM Punk. And while his promo here against The Wyatts was decent, the follow-up match with Curtis Axel was nothing to write home about. We've seen these guys do this exact same thing almost every week. Furthermore, Axel continues to look like a tool for coming out and ... Read More »

Follow Between The Ropes on Facebook and Twitter. Read More »
WWE Smackdown Reaction and Review – September 27th, 2013
Smackdown opened with Triple H again defending his recent actions to the fans, but took a curve when The Miz came and confronted him. I liked it. I thought Miz made the segment more interesting, and he held his own on the mic against Triple H. It also served as great storyline continuity from show-to-show. Give The Miz more stuff ...

WWE Smackdown Reaction and Review – September 13th, 2013
Opening segment featuring Big Show, Triple H, and The Shield was excellent. Big Show's fake apology letter cracked me up, and Triple H coming out to confront show about his actions made sense. But I was afraid that was going to be all there was to it. Fortunately, The Shield came out to liven things up, and Big Show entered ... Read More »
WWE Smackdown Reaction and Review – September 6th, 2013
The opening segment was a mixed bag. On the one hand, I thought Triple H was very entertaining, and liked the "town meeting" set-up for a televised wrestling show. It's the exact kind of thing a narcissistic heel would do. Also, having Hunter describe himself as the COO of WWE and, therefore, "the WWE itself," was a great way to ... Read More »
WWE SMACKDOWN Reaction and Review – August 30th, 2013
The opening from Friday night's show was fantastic. MizTV is often a complete waste of time, but I'm glad the creative team leveraged an establish segment to further an ongoing storyline. The Miz, Big Show, and Dolph Ziggler being together as a unified front made a lot of sense; likewise, it gave Triple H another way to continue building his ... Read More »

Cody Rhodes vs. Damien Sandow is Simply About Good Friendship
If you had a chance to catch last night's solid WWE Smackdown, you saw Damien Sandow and Cody Rhodes highlighted in a way they haven't been before in their respective WWE tenures. Both men, especially Sandow, have the "gift of gab". Both men know what they're doing in the ring. But up until recently, creative seemed absolutely clueless on how ... Read More »

New ASAE Advocacy App Gives Members Opportunity to Engage Via Mobile for American Associations Day
February 21, 2014
WASHINGTON—A record number of association professionals are set to visit Washington, DC to learn about policy issues and advocate on behalf of the association community for American Associations Day, on March 25-26. ASAE is giving this year's attendees a new tool to assist in their outreach to Capitol Hill in support of a number of issues impacting the sector.
The new mobile app includes a schedule of events, speaker bios, talking points, Congressional directory, twitter updates, and ways to share information on social media sites. It will also serve as a permanent grassroots advocacy platform that will provide advocacy updates, breaking legislative alerts, and allow users to share their opinions and encourage others to participate using social media platforms. Advocates will also be able to email and call their Members of Congress, and ASAE Public Policy staff will be able to keep members apprised of pressing legislation and request action by sending "push" notifications.
"This is a game changer for ASAE's advocacy efforts." said Jim Clarke, CAE, Senior Vice President of Public Policy. "With the legislative battles ahead, we are in a critical period for associations, and this app will help us increase our impact and show Congress the power of associations."
The app can be downloaded on iTunes and Google Play for use on the iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Android operating systems.
