In October 2009, Enterprise Cloud Computing was considered bleeding edge technology by many but there was something that seemed different about its value potential and adoption rate. For CIOs, it seemed a chance to provision affordable infrastructure quickly, alleviating delays to mission critical deliveries. Federal CIOs interest in Enterprise Cloud Computing was limited to innovators and early adopters. Two years later, where does Enterprise Cloud Computing stand? Is it for real?
Today, Cloud Computing is on the Gartner® technology hype curve in the "peak of inflated expectations" category. Its placement on the curve—even though we all should prepare for the dreaded "trough of disillusionment" dip—indicates Cloud Computing is, indeed, for real. There are other indicators of note also. CIOs across the board are focused on the success Cloud Computing can deliver. Vendors are sparring with each other to obtain space in Gartner's Magic Quadrant. The Federal CIO has issued a "Cloud First" policy and published the first Federal Cloud Computing Strategy. And, it's been featured in the hit comic strip Dilbert—a pop culture indicator worth noting!
Federal agencies need IT solutions that can handle current missions—from supporting counter-terrorism to combating proliferation of weapons of mass destruction--and we need IT that can handle global surge demands based on fluctuating world events and natural disasters. Federal IT must be efficiently adaptable and properly affordable to meet evolving mission needs. It must be capable of keeping pace with the exponential growth of data, including the increasing complexities of maintaining legal and regulatory compliance of information management and assurance.
As a CIO, building your cloud strategy can be confusing as there are many options to consider before making a decision. Cloud Computing can deliver within a variety of characteristics. Each CIO will need to consider the characteristics of primary importance in order to properly center a strategy. For example, determining your needs for rapid elasticity, on-demand self-service, global access, and payment options will be necessary to develop the right strategy. The second consideration for a CIO is just how far up the stack she wants to go. Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), and Software as a Service (SaaS) each deliver different features and capabilities for your business. You can develop a plan that includes some or all of the Services. Finally, a CIO needs to think about the deployment model(s) that best fit her business (Public, Private, Community, and Hybrid).
Cloud Computing isn't perfect; there are concerns to manage and mistakes to avoid. The number one concern remains Security and that's given rise to Enterprise Cloud Computing deployments and private clouds. But, there are other concerns also such as the skill set of your workforce, requirements for compliance verification, legacy baseline migration, and costs. For example, depending on the percentage of your legacy that can successfully transition to Cloud, your cost-benefit equation may not provide sufficient return for the investment.
Common mistakes to avoid include: assuming Cloud Computing is for everything; planning for a "light switch" migration from legacy to new; selecting only one vendor and creating early lock-in; underestimating the cultural change required by your own IT team; and implementing a bunch of mini- clouds in your existing data closets.
We've spent 18 months developing the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO) IT strategy and roadmap; we gave it a lot of thought but it is just an example and not the only way to move forward. Our cloud delivery model will be private first and then a hybrid of private and community (with our Intelligence Community colleagues). We're moving our way up the stack starting with IaaS and PaaS first, then SaaS. And, we are focused on a phased revolutionary approach—building a new environment as a green field.
Our planning has highlighted the need to focus attention on management of the NRO Cloud. Defining specific roles and responsibilities, articulating cloud service level agreements between the provider and users, adjusting organizational constructs to fit the Cloud business model, and streamlining configuration control processes to meet the rapid timelines of provisioning must all be addressed if success is to be achieved. Our planning also indicated the NRO mission would not be served by a CPU-based commodity cloud alone. We also need a high-performance cloud that is GPU-based and we are learning there are industry gaps in this area.
The NRO Cloud strategy won't be too different from how other Federal agencies adopt Cloud Computing. Most agencies processing classified information are focused on private clouds versus public clouds for security and information management/assurance reasons. Over time, though, I believe federal community clouds will emerge, as will private hybrid clouds, which allow agencies to maintain a private space as well as take advantage of federal community clouds.
The NRO Cloud will be implemented in four phases over the course of 6 years. It's a complex migration necessarily paced to meet federal budget processes, existing acquisition commitments, and mission service imperatives.
- Phase 1 – Test It. We have multiple small cloud pilots ongoing covering commodity/utility cloud, high performance cloud, and big data cloud. We are focused on streamlining information assurance compliance, developing appropriate policies and processes, and defining standards.
- Phase 2 – Prove It. In this phase, we will merge successful elements from Phase 1, finalize policies, prototype management and governance changes necessary for cloud provisioning models, refine standards, realign programs as needed, and ensure enterprise foundation capabilities meet mission demands.
- Phase 3 – Use It. Scaled deployment of the enterprise Cloud will occur. Applications will develop specific transition and migration plans generally aligned with planned refresh cycles. Service management processes and new centralized information assurance approaches will be refined for long-term success.
- Phase 4 – Exploit It. The NRO Cloud will emerge as the primary Enterprise Infrastructure Services Provider with robust measures of effectiveness, performance accountability, and service transparency. New mission and business applications will emerge through innovations in Cloud Computing and federation with the IC Cloud will be achieved moving the NRO into a hybrid environment.
In summary, the time for Cloud Computing is now. All of the indicators are in place to suggest a rapid and successful migration to this newest generation of IT architecture. It is not a one-size-fits-all migration. CIOs will need to spend time exploring Cloud Computing solutions to find the combination that best responds to specific mission and business needs. Maintaining awareness of the concerns and mistakes is absolutely necessary and security remains the top concern. Security is a huge focus for IT vendors and creative, robust solutions will be constantly emerging to reduce concerns. Large organizations will increasingly turn to Enterprise Cloud Computing strategies to achieve efficiencies of Cloud Computing while reducing risks of exposure for intellectual property, customer privacy, and competitive strategies.

Sweden to probe dark eugenics history
Sweden is now known for its strong social welfare system and outspoken advocacy for human rights, but in the past it has experimented with social engineering. This led to abuses such as the forcible sterilization of around 60,000 women in 1936-76.
In 1922, the National Institute for Race Biology was founded with support from a range of political parties. The first of its kind in the world, the institute investigated whether race was a determining factor in illness or human character traits.
"An over-arching question is to find out more about the kind of society which could develop thinking on race biology and have scientifically accepted research in that area," Education Minister Leif Pagrotsky said in a statement.
The Living History Forum, a government body tasked with spreading "a deeper knowledge about crimes against humanity", was appointed to chart what is known about the Swedish history of eugenics and, if necessary, do more research on the issue.
The Forum was founded by Social Democrat Prime Minister Goran Persson's government in 2003, mainly to improve public knowledge about the Holocaust in which around 6 million Jews were killed by the Nazis and their allies from 1933-1945.
The Swedish eugenics research body was merged in the 1950s with a university genetics department.
Other negative aspects of Sweden's past have come to light recently. The government this month promised an official inquiry into claims by thousands of Swedes of physical abuse and cruel treatment in state children's homes for decades from the 1950s.

Around the Laguna and elsewhere, baskets traditionally have been used to collect, clean, store and prepare food, as well as for catching fish, trapping birds and a variety of other needs. Basket weaving is part of daily family and tribal life, and carries a strong spiritual connection between Native Americans and nature. Basket weaving is a lifelong endeavor, often starting in childhood, and takes a long time to master. "We say it takes a lifetime," said Clint McKay of Forestville, president of the California Indian Basketweavers Association and an enrolled member of the Dry Creek Pomo, Wappo, and Wintu tribes. Join us for this special presentation after our regular Second Saturday of the Month Open House (details above) where Clint and his wife will be demonstrating traditional basket weaving from 12:30-2:30pm.

London Bridge, Lake Havasu City, Arizona
I painted this once before as a small painting and have had several requests for print renditions. So I painted it again with the intent of offering prints. Contact me...
Mike and I are already planning our summer RV trip - and I would love to add Arizona's Painted Desert to the itinerary. I know for sure we will be going to Cuchara, Colorado and my new favorite camping grounds - Mueller State Park west of Colorado City. Creede is another favorite place - we followed the Rio Grande to its humble, spectacular beginnings there last June. I doubt we will travel as far as Montana again this year, but I will feel it tugging.
During last summer's trip I took a major hit on blog visitor numbers by not posting most of the time we were gone, and I hate to do that again this year. So I suspect I will make more effort to paint on the road this summer. I need to "practice" plein aire painting before I go, though. I ENJOY painting in nature when Nature is being nice - but when I did it in Wyoming summer-before-last it was hot and windy and buggy and I whined most of the whole time. I love my studio! And I have great respect for those that paint on location!

Examing the New Network+ certification
When discussing networking, there are two paths you can choose to traverse: theory and implementation. The theory of networking stays pretty much the same as it always has the OSI model, for example, will always be seven layers, and TCP/IP will do roughly the same functions in four. Over time, however, the actual way in which networks are implemented changes. Sometimes these changes are slow, and at other times they come about at a fairly rapid rate.

Emily Mayer, 38
Taxidermist and sculptor
pounds 27,800
Kenninghall, Norfolk
Taxidermist and sculptor - they're a bit different, aren't they?
Not really. In both cases you're working in 3D. Although I only formally trained as a sculptor when I was 25, I feel that I've been doing it all my life. My sculptures tend to be of animals, what's beneath the surface and the way they feel to me, so there is an overlap with taxidermy.
How did you get interested in dead animals?
It was a childhood obsession. We lived in London and I was always hanging around the Natural History Museum and was fascinated by animals, dead or alive. My dad brought home a dead wild rabbit for me to work on - quite how he found it in central London I don't know. I must have been about 12. I had a weekend job working in a pet shop and they gave me dead birds to take home. You know when you're at school and they ask you to list careers? I put down taxidermy as number one followed by jack-of-all-trades and then pig farmer. I haven't worked as a pig farmer but have always enjoyed variety.
Quite. What sort of training do you need?
There's very little training in this country. I did an apprenticeship but the people who were teaching me knew bugger all so I gave up after eight months. I learnt by practising in a shed and, more importantly, by joining the guild and learning from people who knew what they were doing. It organises workshop demonstrations but there isn't much in the way of formal training.I went to the States and studied informally with a commercial taxidermist in Maine. Unless you're very determined you don't get far. Everyone has their own ideas and it's constantly developing.
What unusual animals have you stuffed?
They're not stuffed: you have to replace the inner structures and this will vary depending on the sort of animal or bird you are doing. I've done a couple of bears, an albino hedgehog I found flattened on the road, an albino grey squirrel, a tortoise and two severed cows' heads for Damian Hirst. I tend to do one-off commissions. Sometimes people want me to do their pets. Generally I talk them out of it but it can be quite a challenge trying to get the character back.
Where do you work?
I live with my husband in what was a workhouse hospital. He is an artist, a non-figurative colourist, and we both have separate studios. His is very tidy and organised while mine is a glory hole about 50ft by 16, full of whatever I'm working with. With the sculpture I use only recycled materials: steel, wood, leather or plastic so there is a lot of this all over the place, plus glass eyes and surgical equipment used for the taxidermy. I spend an awful lot of time in here because I like it.
What's an average day?
I wake up to Radio Four at seven and have a quick cup of tea and let in our four dogs. I work in a T-shirt and jeans. I entrench myself in the studio, often forgetting to eat lunch. When this happens I make a peanut butter sandwich around four. John usually cooks the evening meal - we have fish at least once week but sausages feature large. Sometimes we get hare or pheasant off the road. We eat in front of telly in the evenings, then I return to work and potter around. The last thing I do is put the dogs out.
How does John feel about what you do?
He's my second biggest fan. We don't tend to converse much about each other's work, but we are supportive. We haven't got kids but John has two children from a previous marriage and they're about my age - I'm a step-grandmother. We have been together eight or nine years but got married only two years ago.
Why was that?
I fancied a big party. It was a chance to get all the relatives together. It's the only time they get together unless you die.

U.S. Edition
In May, Sen. Claire McCaskill tweeted that she needed a change.
"I'm tired of looking and feeling fat. Maybe talking about it publicly will keep me on track as I try to be more disciplined. Off to the gym."
Her tweet was picked up by the blog Jezebel, which wrote that, "women, no matter what their role in public life, face a greater social penalty for being 'fat.'"
The Missouri Democrat tweeted later that day: "I just want to feel better, be in better shape. Healthier as I approach my late (gulp) 50s."
Her plan included healthy foods every three hours, cardio and Twitter.
"Of course there is the diet and exercise component," said her trainer, Charles D'Angelo. "What every program is missing is what holds it all together. It's like a stool - one being exercise, the other being diet. It's missing the third leg to keep the stool balanced. You have to hold yourself accountable. Claire used social media to keep herself publicly accountable."
So she told her 59,000 Twitter followers that she was struggling with her weight and planned to do something about it.
"That was totally Claire's idea," said D'Angelo. "Accountability is part of the mindset. You have to have something keep your accountable."
Five months after her first Tweet about her weight, McCaskill tweeted: "GOOAALLLLLLLL!! I did it! Lost 50 lbs. Thank you Team Charles and my new BFF... Mr Treadmill. Healthy food and lots of exercise."
The fact that a U.S. senator with a hectic schedule can find time to exercise, "blows the whole myth" that people are too busy to exercise "to pieces," D'Angelo said.
"We all have the same number of hours in the day. What I decide to do with those will bring about a result and consequence. That consequence can be a positive or negative consequence," he said.
Aside from her usual tweets about congressional committees, town hall meetings, Joplin, and the Cardinals, McCaskill occasionally posted updates about her fitness goal.
- This will be a test. Can I be disciplined about healthy food choices in midst of family chaos? Typically food takes center stage. May 21st
- Re: State Fair visit. Since I've been on this health kick I guess a funnel cake is out of the question? Aug 11th
- It's official. I have divorced bread and pasta. I'm hoping someday we can be friends again. Sep 9
Using social media such as Twitter and Facebook to get feedback is a free tool to get encouragement and comments.
"Those two things, for free, you create an accountability group," D'Angelo said. "It's a wonderful tool to bring about unity. The comments, it only fuels the fire to keep with it. It's a wonderful tool to keep with a mindset."
There is no gee-whiz factor or magic potion in what McCaskill's trainer recommended.
He tells clients to exercise five times a week, from 30 to 60 minutes, doing something as basic as walking on the treadmill on a 4% incline.
D'Angelo bans caloric drinks such as juices, smoothies, soda and energy drinks. They are advised to eat three hours a day and D'Angelo puts them on a strict eating plan for the first two weeks.
Here's a sample menu:
6.a.m: breakfast with two eggs, piece of whole wheat toast, or a protein shake with whey protein and berries
9 a.m.: piece of fruit or one ounce serving of unsalted almonds
Noon: turkey sandwich on whole wheat bread with a banana
3 p.m.: low sugar yogurt
6 p.m.: lean meat or fish, green vegetable such as broccoli
9 p.m. : another piece of fruit,
"The psychological part is taking away the variety so they are no longer spontaneous in their habits with food," D'Angelo said. "It's doable. It's not that hard. They start seeing results, feeling results and they're able to stick with it. It's reaffirming work."
After 14 days, the client gets more variety in his or her food choices. D'Angelo draws from his own experience, having weighed 360 pounds when he was in high school.
"The most important thing is getting to a place where they're holding themselves accountable," he said. "They're not trying to fill emotional sadness, boredom with food. It's making food as basic as hygiene, that this is what I do to fuel my body, to keep myself healthy."
The goal should NEVER be to lose weight. Losing weight is a necessary part of the process but it is hardly ever the goal. Getting lean AND STAYING LEAN should be the goal. Staying at your goal weight for a day, a week, or even a month and then regaining the lost weight is NOT success. Losing weight is a form of starvation. Starvation is bad. Staying lean is success. Staying lean is good. Getting there entails a cost and that cost is losing weight. Incurring cost is not the same as achieving a goal.
useless advice for the 75% of the population that has a weigh problem.
You um... you don't know what you're saying I think. Losing weight does not mean you're starving yourself. It means that, whatever you weigh, you wish to weigh less. That can be done with positive lifestyle changes.
I'm happy for the Senator. In response to Lincoln's post.
Someone needing to lose 50 pounds because they are very overweight needs to burn approximately 175,000 calories. That's a bunch. The human body has been capable of going weeks without food at times. We were built with the ability to convert fat in our body to glucose for the body and brain to get energy. If we could not, humans wouldn't exist on this planet.
Nothing bad about "starvation" or fasting or consuming fewer calories than you burn in the hopes that you can improve your health for the long term.
@Someone losing weight: starving/fasting can have a very negative effect. When we eat nothing, our body uses fat to sustain itself, which causes us to lose weight, but it also triggers the body to turn absolutely everything you eat into fat once you start eating again. Burning more calories than you take in is good, but fasting and starving are not.
Not "useless" advice. Very good advice. Weight loss should not be a goal unto itself. You will not necessarily be healthier by losing some weight. Proper, balanced, appropriate nutrition plus reasonable exercise daily should be the goal. Weight loss will occur naturally. If it doesn't then that is an idicator of either a failure to remain committed to a different lifestyle or a an underlying health issue. If poundage is made the target, often poor unsustainable choices are made to show a quick, recognizable achievement. The common American diet is one that features carbs, sugars and fats making it very addictive and thus very difficult for people to switch to more nutritious foods and difficult to find the energy to transition into a more energetic lifestyle. Often, to be successful, the changes in eating need to be introduced gradually, slowly weaning the eating addict away from destructive foods and onto better choices.
Lincoln & others worrying about Senator McCaskill starving herself....D'Angelo offers sensible exercise and diet and is also concerned about maintenance. Claire is now at the maintenance part of her goal. There is absolutely NOTHING wrong with either her weight loss or where she is now. In face, she is to be congratulated for doing something about her weight that was positive. Those of you thrashing around about starvation and fasting need to get a grip on reality. The second part of Claire's journey–and also a difficult one–is to maintain her new weight.
You look fabulous.
I wish she hadn't mentioned divorcing bread and pasta. There's nothing wrong with bread and pasta, as long as you choose WHOLE WHEAT and eat it in moderate amounts (and don't pile tons of cheese on it). As they say, moderation in EVERYTHING. And for the record, 50 pounds in 5 months is a potentially unhealthy rate of weight loss. I'm very happy that she achieved her goal and appeared to do it through exercise and healthy eating rather than any "quick fix" methods, but 10 pounds per month is a little too much. 8 pounds is kind of the max you want to shoot for (2 lbs/week). At least she had professional oversight. I don't want people thinking they can drop 50 pounds in five months if they want to, getting discouraged because they aren't getting the same quick results and can't afford a trainer to help, and eating too few calories so that they end up passed out on the treadmill from overdoing it without sufficiently fueling themselves. Lose weight the smart way – slow and steady. Adopt small changes gradually and build to a healthier lifestyle. I lost 50 pounds on my own, but I've since taken off another 20-25 at a somewhat faster (but still healthy) pace with the help of SparkPeople, which is a free website where you can track your food and exercise, find healthy recipes, read motivational/informational/educational articles written by experts, ask questions of and receive answers from other members and health professionals, and do a little blogging/social networking IF you're so inclined (you don't have to). I'd strongly recommend checking it out if you're struggling with weight loss. :)
50 pounds in 5 months doesn't look dangerous to me. That's 10 pounds/month, 2.5 pounds a week [a bit over 1kg]. I think that's perfect and there are quite a few weight loss programs which aim to that
RosaFrankin, you have given very sound advice and I agree 100%. I will be 50 years old in March and I believe eating right and exercising is the way to go. I adopted this lifestyle many years ago and have stuck with it. I feel great everyday and am able to bounce out of bed in the morning. YES – exercise is a must if you want to lose weight and maintain the weight loss. There are not quick fixes! You must be disciplined, practice portion control and move it, move it, move it. Nobody believes I will be the big 5-0 in March, I feel and look great if I must say so myself.
Wait – so which one is the "before" and which is "after"?
Good one!
I am so proud of you.
You Look sooo amazing!! Keep up the great work!! It's great to see someone in power that has flaws and are willing to tell the world about there insecurities! Making the world a better place, thats how the government should be.
Maybe your goal should be to work on getting this country back on track. I'd like to see some tweets that say, "I'm tired of the country falling apart. Maybe talking about it publicly will keep me on track as I try to be more disciplined. Off to the Senate."
Twitter should be outlawed. It was intended for communication and instead here is is one its obvious and popular abuse. Marijuana is illegal and Twitter is far more addictive than that. Congress, wake up.
are you serious?
McKaskill is useless weight no matter how you look at her.
This is one tough broad – wouldn't want to cross her!
Can my weight loss "stool" have two diet legs since exercise makes me extremely ill?
I've decided I'd like to lose ten or so ponuds before summer comes, and I'm wondering if anyone has any tips or tricks or secrets I could use. I can't take weight loss pills, due to medications I take for epilepsy, and I can't afford any of those fad diets like LA Weight Loss (though I know from experience that plan really works well) or Weight Watchers. I exercise twice a day, once in the morning and once at night after dinner. Any tips or suggestions you might have would be greatly appreciated.
Debbie Stabenow dropped a lot of weight and went about it without tweeting her horn. Lets check up on Claire in a year and see how she's doing.
"They are advised to eat three hours a day" Huh? Earlier the guy is quoted as saying he instructs people to eat healthy every three hours. Big difference, CNN!
That's a pretty impressive result, especially for someone in their late 50s.
My girlfriend is origweevht and i can tell she's very insecure about her body.I want to try and convince her to get weight loss surgery but i don't want to seem mean or that i only care about her weight.I am not attracted to skinny size 2 type girls but i am attracted to girls with curves kinda like Jordin Sparks size.How do i talk to my girlfriend about getting weight loss surgery or just losing weight the old fashion way without making her feel bad?
Someone does something positive and loses weight, and because she is a politician, some lardass computer potato will use it to make some bad comments about her. hence the frase "ugly americans".
UMMM who cares???? Go to work and work on the country NOW or you'll have plenty of time for your work out and twitter when we boot your butt out of office. Good for you, but don't care.
You can definitely lose 10 ponuds by summer, and you can even do it healthily! You can lose that much weight in about a month to a month and a half.Exercise 4-5 times a week, doing moderate to vigorous cardio.Eat well. Get enough protein and good carbs; cut out unnecessary junk and fats (but eat healthy fats olive oils, fish, eggs, nuts). Make sure you are eating the right amount of food not too much, not too little. And eat lots of fruits, veggies, and dairy and water! At least 8 8 oz. glasses a day. Being properly hydrated can help speed your metabolism.Check out the link below; it is a great resource. Good luck!
Absolutely nothing with going on the weight loss journey with Senator McCaskill........it's your choice to follow her.......the alternative is she could be off conducting illegal political affairs, I'd rather follow the weight loss journey. She is an inspiration to all. Congratulations on your success :)
You can't spot-reduce. Your body will lose it the same way it went on, but in reverse.You need to do caidro 4 times a week and watch you diet.You will lose fat proportionally around your body, so it is impossible to lose weight in just one place.Here's a good website to look at (even if you don't want abs, it still has a lot of good diet tips on how to lose weight, etc.)=)Good Luck!References :
