Ratner's of 2nd Ave
In my post, I mentioned that Ratner's used to occupy the spot. A commenter wondered if there was, indeed, a Ratner's at 111 2nd Ave and if it was connected to the 97-year-old restaurant on Delancey. I began wondering about it myself and decided to do a little research--discovering a New York family mystery in the process.
Ratner's 2nd Ave was next to the Fillmore East (now a bank) and as such became a nighttime hangout for rock-n-roll legends like Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison, and The Grateful Dead. The "R" is still embedded in Met Foods' floor.
It's hard to find images of this long-lost Ratner's, but if you search for the better-memorialized "Fillmore East" you will see its neon sign shining next door. In this photo, you can see Ratner's awning--and that's Block Drugs on the far left.

My search led me to street photographer Tony Marciante's amazing flickr page featuring many photos of New York in the 1960s and 70s, including a set from 1969 of a fire across the street from Ratner's. The fire is in a place called Hoagie's and So Forth, which is now the defunct Bamboo House (also check out the pet shop, Fish and Cheep's!).

The Met Foods/Ratner's site is located in the Saul Birns Building, seen in the photo below as the big, white building with many windows, bookended by Fillmore East and little Moishe's Bakery. Saul Birns, also known as Saul Birnzweig, ran the Atlantic Talking Machine Company where he sold record players, many in the shape of baby grand pianos.
He was indicted in 1915 as a "phonograph swindler" for running a fraudulent mail order scheme that, according to the Times, "promised foreigners an opportunity of hearing their native songs produced on a talking machine, which would be sent them on free trial." But after Mr. Birns got his deposit money, he would pull a switcheroo, sending a cheap phonograph to the foreigners instead of the quality machine he'd promised. The Saul Birns Building is now part of NYU's Tisch School of the Arts.

But back to Ratner's of 2nd Ave and the question of why it's been mostly forgotten and was it connected to the Delancey place.
It was owned by Abraham Harmatz, who died on May 29, 1974, the very day after his landmark dairy restaurant closed. In the Times article it says that "Ratner's had been a Second Avenue fixture for more than 50 years, a gastronomic diadem in the crown of what years ago was called the Jewish Rialto." It also states that "it is not connected" with the one on Delancey, "although they share common ancestors and have been run by different branches of the same family."
The first Ratner's opened on Pitt Street in 1908 under brothers Jacob and Harry Harmatz and brother-in-law Alex Ratner. Ratner left the shop and "The brothers went their separate ways as the business expanded" -- Jacob opened the Delancey Ratner's in 1918 (yes, this year would have been its 100th birthday, had it survived hipsterification) and Harry went to 2nd Ave around the same time. Harry begat Abraham, cousin to Jacob's son Harold who continued to run the Delancey location and who considered reopening the 2nd Ave site after Abraham's death, but this did not come to fruition.
Ratner's Delancey, similar neon typeface
In the extensive 2004 obit for Harold Harmatz, there is no mention of uncle Harry, after whom Harold was clearly named. It says only that father Jacob opened the Delancey place with brother-in-law Alex Ratner. Even in a correction at the end, the Times says they omitted other co-owners, some Zankel brothers, but again where's uncle Harry? This Wikipedia article also omits him.
So there is a mystery within this mystery. What does it mean that Jacob and Harry went their separate ways? Why has Harry and Abraham's 2nd Ave Ratner's been, in some weird way, stricken from history? I have to wonder, did they have a rift much like the Manganaros? If it was a family feud, the Delancey branch definitely won the claim to Ratner's fame.
Other than photographs, the only concrete evidence we have of Harry and Abraham's 2nd Ave restaurant is that R embedded in the floor of Met Foods.

Excellent job here. I love the Tony Marciante photos. Especially the last one in the fire series with the woman comforting a distraught parrot.

Fantastic post Jeremiah. I sent it to a friend whose father worked at Ratners although I'm not sure which location.

thanks everybody--i am rather in love with this story, too--if you do know anyone who can shed light on the Harmatz brothers and their story, please do let me know.

This was fascinating! But do you think that in the future, people will write and readers will be fascinated by the stories of Trump et al who managed to destroy NYC? Will the short fingered vulgarians and their starchitectural combovers leave histories to merit any interest by the golden children of the future?
- April 3, 2008 at 12:44 PM
I myself have always thought that the period we're living in now (roughly 1999-to ?) will be of great histoical and sociological interest to future generations. Whether this interest will take the form of fawning admiration (as I'm sure the yunnie and his parents imagine it will) is somewhat more up in the air. ;)
In regards to the photos of Ratner's, isn't it a shame that locating photos of a decades-old neighborhood fixture is so difficult? To me, this really says a lot about the importance of photographic documentation. I'd recommend that everyone who can ought to take photos of the ordinary things they like in this city, especially now that personal cameras are so widespread, as the yunnie's flip-flopped footprint can come down hard on a neighborhood without very much advanced notice. - April 3, 2008 at 1:23 PM
I wonder if this 1969 fire was the same one which saw a plainsclothes cop take the stage at the Fillmore to clear the place out while the Who were premiering "Tommy" to American audiences. Seeing an interloper onstage, Pete Townshend reacted with his usual sang froid by kicking him in the balls (this was the same year he pounded Abbie Hoffman into the crowd at Woodstock with his guitar), and was arrested. He later pleaded to a lesser charge.
- April 3, 2008 at 2:04 PM
The fact of the matter is that the 2nd Ave Ratner's was not a step child of the "survivor" on Delancey Street. When my father was night manager from the late
50's until closing, the 2nd Avenue Ratner's did much better business than Delancey Street! And my father stocked the Fillmore's mezzanine food concession with Ratner's baked delicacies. (Ratner's free standing bakery was located a few doors north on 2nd Avenue). I became a "gansa macher" in the music industry and Bill Graham always referred to me as "Sam Jaffe's son," as if I never had a first name, no matter how many times we came in contact. - April 3, 2008 at 2:51 PM
- Jeremiah Moss said...
hey "sam jaffe's son," thanks for the insider info! feel free to share more. and what do you think, why the weird omission of harry and abraham in ratner's history?
- April 3, 2008 at 3:17 PM
I'm glad, Jeremiah, that we were both right!
- April 3, 2008 at 3:43 PM
- Jeremiah Moss said...
thank you baha--i wouldn't have done that research without your query!
- April 3, 2008 at 3:56 PM
I don't know anything about the Harmatz family history other than the two branches of the family which separately owned both Ratner's did not speak to each other- right up to the very end.
Let me refer you to the photo book "Live at The Fillmore East" by Amalie R. Rothschild (c) 1999)Page 133 for a picture of the Fillmore Crew having breakfast at Ratner's 2nd Avenue at 5AM (Date unknown). My father is standing in the center nearest the bus boy. Page 125 also features a great elongated photo of 2nd avenue between 6th & 7th Streets showing The Fillmore, Ratner's, and The Dry Dock Savings Bank.

I wonder if the 2nd Avenue Ratner's was a deli, as opposed to the dairy restaurant on Delancey. Any idea?
- April 3, 2008 at 5:47 PM
Wow this is one of the best posts so far! I love the depth of the research and the conjectures - it's great to follow your mind down this path. And it seems like others are digging it too:
Thanks also to the more eloquent "Anonymous" for the first person insights and clarifications. - April 3, 2008 at 9:08 PM
My father proposed to my mother in the Ratner's on Delancey--back in 1952.
So without Ratner's...where would I be? Thank you for writing this! - April 3, 2008 at 9:59 PM
I could've saved everyone a lot of trouble if I had knocked off John Sexton when he was the debate coach at my high school...

Moishes bakery next door
- April 4, 2008 at 12:46 PM
Moshies bakery used to be called Ratners bakery when I was a kid.

Absolutely phenomenal research. You should write a book. (But don't sell it at Barnes & Noble...gotta keep them in the suburbs!)
- April 4, 2008 at 9:03 PM
I used to live in the EV in the late 60s and to us hippies, who, in those days, never went as far as Delancey, and hardly south of Houston, Ratners on 2nd was THE Ratners.
I never even knew there was a Delancey Ratner's until I passed it in the 70s.
Ratner's on Second was, I believe, a dairy restaurant, as was Rappaport's, and, indeed, there as a Ratner's bakery next door.
Ratners on Second used to stay open quite late, say, midnight, maybe even beyond on weekends. - April 5, 2008 at 8:16 PM
What is now Moishe's Bakery next door to the 2nd Ave Ratner's was indeed still Ratner's Bakery when I moved to the area in 77. It was Ratner's for 10-15 more years, I think. As Moishe's it has changed little from its Ratners days.
- April 13, 2008 at 4:57 PM
Hi..nice post.
Abraham Harmatz, owner of the 2nd Avenue Ratner's (yes it did exist! heheh) was my grandfather. I was about 3 yrs old when he died, but I do have vague memories of him and the restaurant and have some pictures of he and I together. His wife Mildred (my grandmother) was a very good artist. Many of her paintings adorn my home.
Anyway, I'm not sure of the story regarding Ratner's and the two branches of the family...I always had the inclination to visit the Delancey street location to meet my cousins, but never did.
I will ask my mother about this...maybe she or my aunt can shed some light on things. I'll try to post here soon when I find out. - June 26, 2008 at 6:44 PM

Hi Jerimiah,
I am looking for a Carol Ratner. Anyone know if there was any connection? Born in early 1940's. Alex Ratner could have been her brother maybe?

Wonderful post, great research, great storytelling.
I wonder the same thing as kingofnycabbies. I was there at the Fillmore the night of that fire that cut short the Who concert and caused Roger Daltrey & Pete Townshend to get arrested. It was in May 1969, that much I remember. I can't imagine there were two fires that same year around the Fillmore.
The scene on the stage that night was chaotic to those of us in the audience. Only when I read the paper the next day did I learn that the suit that the Who frontmen had unceremoniously yanked from the stage was a plainclothes NYC cop who had not IDed himself and was barking orders into the mike for people to leave. Fearing a panic, the guys pulled him out of there. Bill Graham then came onstage and calmly announced the evacuation. It was orderly, and I credit him for keeping things under control.
I didn't realize that the two Ratner's were separate -- or maybe I did and just forgot. I do remember the one on Delancey closing about 1974. The one on 2nd Ave. was still open, I think, when I left New York in 1976.
That's everything I know. - March 17, 2009 at 5:38 PM

Wow, what nostalgia. Ratners, both the dairy restaurant and bakery (both on Second Ave.) were part of my childhood. Just thinking about the luscious onion rolls makes my mouth water. And the dairy restaurant was Yiddish creative gourmet.Lynn

I am very pleased by this rare Second Avenue Ratner's citing. I'm a nephew of Irving Harmatz, Abe Harmatz's brother.
First of all there were three Second Avenue Ratner's properties. The Dairy Restaurant at 111 Second Avenue, a Cafeteria down the block and a Bakery were my aunt Eva Harmatz (who was married to Irving Harmatz) slaved for the tyrannical Abe Harmatz. Abe was a lawyer and not the sole owner of Ratner's Second Avenue. Ownership was equally shared by his brother, my uncle Irving Harmatz, and their four sisters, Ceil, Sadie, Esther and Rose. After the death of my Uncle Irving in 1965, Abe slowly took control of the business. When Abe passed away in '74 he made certain that not one of his sister's would be able to carry on the family's Second Avenue venues.
Ironically, '74 was the exact time that the much smaller Delancey Street Ratner's started to toot it's horn. First with a Ratner's cook book, which was published only a view months after Abe's death. In the preface of this book there is no mentioned of the Second Avenue Ratner's. Surprise of all surprises! The Delancey Street also licensed the Ratner's name to several frozen foods items, including the Blintzes and Mushroom Barley Soup which I believe are still available in most supermarkets.
Seeing the "R" in the floor of the Met's Supermarket has brought back so many fond memories of years past. Thank's to the author of this Blog for correcting a bit of NYC's lost history.
And Jeff, if you're reading this I would love to have a discussion with you about our mutual family history. - August 30, 2009 at 2:08 PM
- Jeremiah Moss said...
thanks Ratners, for writing in. it's great to hear about the history of this classic spot. i hope you guys can re-connect.
- August 30, 2009 at 2:12 PM
Julie, my mother (2nd Ave. Ratner's - Abe's daughter) is named Carol, she was born in 1943. But her last name was Harmatz, not Ratner...not sure if this is who you mean? If so I can help you get in touch if you want.
Nephew of Irving: If you are reading this, one thing I am curious about, is you described my grandfather Abe as "tryannical"...I'm surprised by that as I only heard how kind and generous a man he was (to a fault some might say). Regardless, I'd be happy to hear from you to further explore our family history!
Jeremiah, I know we emailed back and forth before...I apologize for not following up...but I now have posession of some related pictures/articles and other stuff that might be of interest to you and others. Contact me and I'll see what we migth be able to do for a new story or update etc.

That Who concert at the Fillmore East was not the premiere of "Tommy", but juat a Who concert. And the fire was next door in the Lion supermarket, which was the corner storefront on 6th and 2nd, subsequently infested a series of unsuccessful restaurants.
Ah, Ratner's...my husband and I were particularly partial to the strawberry shortcake and mile-high chocolate cream pie. We'd go there for dessert after dinner at the Second Avenue Deli. Though he only played the Fillmore East one weekend...he had this band called the Doors. - January 26, 2010 at 11:33 PM

I can vouch that Ratner's on 2nd was a dairy restaurant, as I have a 1970 menu (dated; a new one was run off every morning, looks like) -- all the expected delights listed, cold schav, "bowl of [sour]cream, protose steak [which was a mixture made of nuts etc.],nesselrode pie...and prices are considerably less than today, needless to say.

Hi there,
I am trying to find a Yemeni (Yemenite?) jeweler who used to have a small shop on 2nd avenue during the 1980's. He was known as Ruzi. My brother and his then fiance had matching rings made by Ruzi. He was really special to them both. Now 30 years later her ring was stolen from their Seattle home during a robbery. Wondering if anyone knows about Ruzi's whereabouts or what happened to his shop.

Wow, What a great series of posts. I just moved back to New York after being gone for 38 years. I googled Ratners to see if it still existed and this blog is what I found. As sad as I am to find out that Ratners is long gone I smiled as I read these posts. So much familiarity in the scenes, the memories, and the people.
My father had a fruit and vegetable store on the lower east side. Smilin' Jacks on Ave. C and 10th Street. Anyone remember it? What a crazy neighborhood. Alan Ginsburg lived around the corner and I have a newspaper picture of him and my grandfather outside the store. The Fugs all lived on that same block and Tuli used to give me signed copies of their albums.
I too was at that Who concert shortened by the fire. Now I hate to cause some disagreement but it was in fact the Tommy premier. It was the day the album was released. And what a concert it was.
The neighborhood, the Fillmore and Ratners included, was such a part of my growing up. Coming back here feels a little lonely. Not only because I know so few people but because so much of what I remember is gone. Reading these memories sure helped brighten my Sunday. Thank you all who contributed. And I hope the families got back into communication. - February 6, 2011 at 1:46 PM

So I'm posting a comment to a three year old post about RATNER's Restaurant....if I write this will it be read? Who knows. I'm betting that some day someone will. I'm actually searching for the last remaining Harmatz family members - Fred and Robert - to determine whether they have a photograph that was in the upstairs office of the Delancey Street restaurant. It was taken early in the 20th century, maybe 1920 or thereabouts, and includes my grandfather, who worked for many years as the Head Counterman, developing recipes and preparing the food. Sometime in the late 1990s, my mother & I ate at the restaurant and the then owner - perhaps Harry Harmatz (?) acknowledged the photo was upstairs but the place was too packed for him to check. I know it's now 2011 - time flies - but you never know!
- August 7, 2011 at 1:28 PM
i lived across the street from "ratners". great food. but i preferred "B&H dairy". its ironic but i lived there from august 1968 to july 1970, during art school. i never went to into the "filmore east'. except once, when someone gave me free tickets to see the "kinks". and thats the "filmore" photo you featured!

Due to TV having taken over every playhouse, hotel, warehouse and loft anywhere around the theatre district, on October 9th, 1957, rehearsals began for the original Broadway production of The Music Man with Robert Preston in the third floor studio of 111 2nd Avenue and the whole family of cast and crew members ate daily in Ratner's downstairs whose unique waiters were comforting – understanding of what actors went through in the formative phase of a Broadway show. (from the book "But He Doesn't Know The Territory" by Meredith Willson, writer and composer of "The Music Man") With all the rich multi-genred theatrical history of this building, if only these walls could speak…

What a great story. I used to work at the St Marks Cinema in the early 70's while an NYU film student and would often land up at the Second Avenue Ratners after closing the theater at 1 in the morning or so. Loved the bananas and sour cream and the onion rolls with sweet butter. Not to mention the scene.

My grandmother worked at one of the Ratner's delis as a cashier in the 1930's. I found a picture of her with other restaurant employees from that time, so I suspect it could have been taken in Ratner's. I would like to share the picture with anyone interested especially if they can identify whether it is Ratner's or not. Please email me at rsnkrupp (at) gmail dot com, and I will send you the picture. Thanks.

In the early 70s used to take regular 2 AM walks with my friends from Avenue B to 2nd Avenue Ratners (or Gem's Spa; if we were out we might end up in Chinatown at Lin's Garden or Wo Hop) in the early 1970s. Especially remember the sang froid of what I recall as long time Jewish waiters in the face of a clientele of drag queens and others who I suspect must have seemed to be quite different from that of the older days. Strikes me that in a nightlife oriented city like NY these days I've at times had to struggle to find someplace to get a bite at mid-night (though there are late night halal trucks in my neighborhood).

You can briefly see the exterior of the 2nd Ave. Ratners in an episode of the "Naked City" television series called "The Face Of The Enemy" at the 19 min, 53 sec. mark. At the time (the early 1960s), the theatre that became the Fillmore was called the Central Plaza. The episode is available on DVD as part of a "Best of Naked City" set. Every episode in the series has some great exterior shots of New York City.

FROM cbr1047:
I see mostly older postings related to RATNER's, but want to update my previous post. I'd be very interested in communicating with any relatives of the original owners - Harmatz or Ratner - and especially seeing any old (old) photos of employees. As I noted earlier, my maternal grandfather was a Head Counterman at Ratner's Restaurant early in the 21st century, developing recipes and cooking. Ironically, his daughter (my mother) eventually met and married a Ratner (my father) who I believe is unrelated to the original owners. My dad would occasionally work at the restaurant as a 2nd job. (cbr1047) - July 29, 2013 at 7:28 PM
I was happy to find this blog on Ratner's Bakery. I grew up on St. Marks Place as a youngster in the early 1950s (I'm now living in the Chicago area). I have very fond memories of Ratners. I used to be an altar boy at St. Stanilaus Church on 7th St. when I was about 9 years old. I had to stop at Ratner's after 7AM mass & buy Kaiser rolls for the nuns & jelly rolls for me & my parents. I also remember the delicious crusty rye & Italian bread at Ratners. Over the years, I've never found anything that compared with the tasty baked goods at Ratners & I've lived in 6 states since leaving NYC - nothing comes close!
- October 1, 2013 at 9:46 PM
Believe it or not, I am the great, great granddaughter of the mysterious Harry Harmatz you write about in this post - quite an interesting article!

Onde Nostre
Italian version with English Subtitles.
Onde Nostre is a lifestyle documentary film that shows the peculiarity of the Italian surf scene and the beauty of this sport, even in a country that's not usually considered a top destination for catching waves.
This film is intended to show the passion and high level of the Italian surfers. Shot mainly in 16mm and super 8 and only a small part is shot digital in order to emphasize the beauty of the landscape. The film has a romantic approach to surfing. Action has a great relevance, with slow motion segments and an emotional editing. Onde Nostre also shows Italian surfers lifestyle and the endless search for good waves in the Mediterranean sea. We travelled in spring of 2010 between Liguria, Tuscany and the western part of Sardinia. The film breathes the grand and powerful landscapes where nature and our surfers are living in symbiosis. We had the chance to get into the lives of our riders, recording their emotions, their expectations and their joy. Showing parts were the human aspects and the hard part of being an athlete comes out.
Onde Nostre is a tribute to our sea (Mare Nostrum) and to the their people that keep on searching, believing in a simple life style made of small but important values: friendship, nature, the joy of doing what we love to do.
Support our sea. Long life to le Nostre Onde.

The molar volume is equal to the atomic weight divided by the density.
The molar volume is also known as the atomic volume.
The standard SI units are m3. Normally, however, molar volume is expressed in units of cm3. To convert quoted values to m3, divide by 1000000.
The molar volume depends upon density, phase, allotrope, and temperature. Values here are given, where possible, for the solid at 298 K.

Straegically located at the end of the Malaysian peninsula, the island nation of Singapore is a modern,
thriving metropolis and a true melting pot of cultures. Singapore offers diverse colorful ethnic quarters; a fantastic array of superb cuisines; and a shopping mecca second to none. In many ways Singapore (the name means Lion City) was built by Sir Stamford Raffles. Coming ashore to a tiny fishing village in 1819, through trade treaties and business acumen, he laid the foundation for one of the most amazing urban success stories in history. Today, travelers can embrace exotic sights and sounds as they stroll or ride a trishaw through Chinatown, the Arab Quarter or Little India. Head down to the scenic Boat Quay for unrivaled views of the harbor and stop at one of the many international eateries for a refreshing repast. Shop along famous Orchard Road with its merchandise from every corner of the Pacific Rim; embark on a night safari at the Singapore Zoo or relax in the verdant shade of the Bukit Timah Nature Preserve. Be sure to leave time to try a refreshing Singapore Sling at the bar at Raffles Hotel.
The following Shore Excursions are available for this port on this cruise, and may be reserved beginning 240 days before the cruise begins for guests receiving Concierge amenities, and 180 days before the cruise begins for all other guests. Guests receiving Concierge amenities will receive a 5% discount off of the prices shown below for Regent Choice tours.
Discover the many interesting insights into life outside of Singapore during a scenic tour that encircles this bustling island city.
Depart the pier for the drive to the Tiong Bahru 'Wet' Market, a wet market where many typical Singapore families buy vegetables and food for home cooking. You will then explore the northern part of the island with a visit to Kranji Dam, once a swampy area used as the first landing spot for Japanese advance boats during World War II. From here, you will have a clear view across the water to Johore Bahru, Malaysia's southernmost city.
Next, you will continue on to the Kranji War Memorial. Unveiled in 1957, this is the last resting-place for many of the Allied soldiers, and more than 20,000 men and women who lost their lives in World War II. Following your visit, you will proceed for a tasty Chinese lunch at the Orchid Country Club, or similar. After lunch, a stop will be made at Bright Hill Temple, a famous Chinese ancestral place of worship.
The final loop of the tour will take you to Changi. Driving past the Johore Battery, you will have an opportunity to view a replica of the 15-inch Monster Gun, the largest to be installed outside Britain during World War II. Your last stop will be at the Changi Chapel and Museum, which focuses on the memories and lives of the POWs and civilian internees who survived the Japanese occupation. The Changi Chapel is a symbolic replica of the chapel at the infamous Changi Prison, the same one noted in James Calvell's King Rat.
Following your visit, you will re-board your coach for the return drive to the pier.

And he's off
A couple was at a private bar late one evening when, of course, the alcohol got hold of one's better judgement.
Something was said, which made the male mad. He was ready to leave, but the female was having a good time and did not want to go home.
So, he grabbed her purse, took her car keys out of it and left the bar in her car.
She decided to show him. She called police and reported her car stolen.
She suggested to the officer that the man took her car to the parking lot down the road so he could pick up his own car. But upon investigation, he did not do this.
The police could not get the male on the phone.
They asked her what she wanted to do and after all that she decided she did not want to provide a statement or press charges or report her car stolen.
She asked the officer to call her a cab home. On the way into her street she spotted her car parked at the end of the road.
No charges were filed.

There's no IT vendor quite like Oracle. A long-time leader in enterprise software?databases, ERP, CRM and more recently data analytics?it's now focusing on being best of breed in every layer of the stack, including server hardware, operating systems, and highly tuned hardware-software appliances. It's building out its vertical industry expertise, hiring sales and technical support people by the thousands to help customers in healthcare, retail, financial services, utilities, and other sectors solve their most strategic and difficult business problems. Meantime, it's getting the cloud religion, selling infrastructure-as-a-service and moving its application portfolio to software-as-a-service versions while partnering with cloud power players such as Salesforce.com and Microsoft. No one ever accused Oracle of timidity. But is Oracle delivering on its promises? Is it bulking up for the customer demands and industry battles of tomorrow, or is it spreading itself too thin? In this keynote interview with InformationWeek, Oracle Co-President Mark Hurd, a no-nonsense 30-year industry veteran who served as CEO of NCR and then HP before joining Oracle in 2010, will discuss the moves the company is making and address the questions customers still have about its strategy and execution.
Aaron Levie is no stranger to digital disruption. Box, the cloud-based storage provider he co-founded in 2005, has changed the way more than 20 million individuals and 180,000 business worldwide not only store but also share their critical information. Box's underlying principle: Keep information management simple and intuitive, without sacrificing the enterprise needs for security and compliance. In this Q&A session, Levie will apply his renowned wit and no-holds-barred wisdom to a range of topics, from rogue IT and the bring-your-own-app movement to the state of IT leadership and innovation.
The confluence of bring-your-own-device mobility, cloud services such as Dropbox and tech-savvier employees spells disaster for corporate security and productivity, right? Not necessarily. Instead of clamping down, IT organizations can turn smart users to their advantage by providing them with the tools they need and knowing when to get out of the way. In this session, we'll explore with a panel of front-line experts how to make smart, focused BYOD, cloud and mobile app strategies work for your organization. Speakers: Mike McClaskey, CIO, Dish Network Onyeka Nchege, VP and CIO, Coca-Cola Bottling Co. Consolidated
Everyone's making hay about the "Internet of things," whereby companies put sensors on all manner of machines to collect and then analyze data in order to assess when a power plant needs fixing, a train's wheel needs replacing, a soybean field needs watering or a patient needs reviving. Just about every company in every industry is evaluating the opportunities (and threats) of this digital business movement. Like with most great tech movements, however, the Internet of things is an easy concept to grasp but a much harder one to put into practice. GE is one of the companies making this concept real, today, driving innovation around what it calls the "industrial Internet." Through its GE Power & Water unit, the company already is doing real-time monitoring of power-generation equipment, and it's exploring new ways to gather and analyze data to catch problems before they cause an equipment shutdown. In this Q&A session with Jim Fowler, CIO of GE Power Generation Services, we'll provide an Internet of things reality check: What's possible today? What's around the corner? And what big challenges do we still need to solve? Speaker: Jim Fowler, CIO, Power & Water, GE
Companies across a wide range of industries are gaining competitive advantage from a new source: delivering applications faster and at large scale better than their rivals. In this session, former Netflix cloud architect Adrian Cockcroft will explore how companies must think differently about their infrastructure and business models to deal with the move to mobile apps (for employees and customers), connected devices, social marketing, and real-time business decision-making. Cockcroft, now technology fellow at venture capital firm Battery Ventures, will discuss and field questions about what established companies and startups must do to exploit this speed and scale opportunity. Speaker: Adrian Cockcroft, Battery Ventures Technology Fellow, and Former Netflix Cloud Architect
More than a year ago, General Motors CIO Randy Mott laid down an unprecedented, three-year "IT Transformation" plan that included bringing most of the billions of dollars of work done by the automaker's IT outsourcers in-house, moving from 90% outsourcing to only 10%. If that effort wasn't enough, the plan also included consolidating data centers, data marts, and applications; launching four U.S.-based software development centers; requiring cost-benefit analyses for every new IT project; and most important, getting IT employees to spend much more of their time on new applications and other innovative work and less on maintenance and support. It was a bold plan as GM emerged from bankruptcy protection, one that Mott discussed live at the last InformationWeek Conference. So how are things going at this point in the transformation? Where has the company seen the biggest wins and biggest obstacles so far? In this Q&A session, Mott will provide a status report and insights on how the transformation is going.
This fast-paced, interactive Q&A session brings together three very different startup CEOs and a longtime tech industry investor to challenge the IT status quo?and get some sparks flying. Are CIOs and IT organizations ready for today's digital innovations and speed of business? Is the CIO becoming less relevant? Can the cloud handle ERP and other core applications? These are the kind of rapid-fire questions the CIOs and IT leaders in the audience will discuss and debate. Moderator: MR Rangaswami, co-founder, Sand Hill Group Panelists: Sandra Kurtzig, founder and CEO, Kenandy, and founder and former CEO, ASK Group Frederic Laluyaux, CEO and President, Anaplan Gaurav Dhillon, CEO, SnapLogic
Sometimes "big data" is a big misnomer. Not every organization will amass petabytes of information, but that doesn't mean they can't take advantage of the latest big data technologies. But there are also cases where large scale is best handled by a conventional database. How can you tell which tool is right for the task at hand? In this panel session, executives on the front lines of data-driven decision-making will discuss their breakthrough applications and the technologies that make them tick, as well as the cases when conventional data technologies do just fine. Panelists: Bryson Koehler, Executive VP and CIO, The Weather Company Andrew Robbins, CEO, Paytronix Moderator: Doug Henschen, Executive Editor, InformationWeek
Every new wave of technology creates rumors of the CIO's and IT organization's imminent demise. Digital business is no exception. The CIO and IT organization aren't going anywhere, but their roles are changing. In this session, the leader of Accenture's digital business practice will focus on the future of the CIO and IT organization in a digital enterprise, using case examples from a range of industries and geographies. How do the IT organization's role and contribution change? Where does IT play and create value in a world of BYOD, cloud services, data analytics and social networking? Why should companies increase their investments in IT for this digital world? Speaker: Mark McDonald, Managing Director, Accenture Dave Bent, Senior VP, Global Information Solutions, Avnet
UPMC, a $10 billion a year healthcare provider and insurer, has an explicit goal to drive revenue with its IT innovations. The IT organization's top priority is to improve patient care and lower healthcare costs, but UPMC (formerly University of Pittsburgh Medical Center) also partners with tech vendors and invests in tech startups to create new products to sell to other healthcare providers. At its Technology Development Center, more than 100 people work full time to develop technologies to serve UPMC clinicians, patients and other operations -- and then market what they develop as commercial products. This Q&A session will explore the practical realities of how to drive IT innovations and when it's worth trying to commercialize them. Speakers: Dan Drawbaugh, Senior VP and CIO, UPMC Rebecca Kaul, President, UPMC Technology Development Center
In this session, the dynamic CIOs of three very different enterprises reveal in rapid-fire (15-minute) vignettes how they're building closer ties with customers by using the latest digital technologies in unconventional ways.

Join us at Enterprise Connect to learn what's happening on the mobile network front and how it could impact your planning and budgeting.
This session will be an overview of the open source software that can be used to deploy and manage a cloud computing environment. This discussion will include information on storage, networking(e.g. OpenDaylight) and compute virtualization (Xen, KVM, LXC) and the orchestration(Apache CloudStack, OpenStack) of the three to build their own cloud services.
Over the last few years cloud computing has gained publicity and attention across enterprise IT as a clear path to cost efficiency and greater agility. Clouds offer access to resource models that were difficult or impossible to obtain in the past, including auto- and self-provisioning, elastic scaling, and cost-effective disaster solutions and use of Big Data. However, cloud computing is becoming a complex topic, now including complex hybrid and multi-cloud solutions. This includes mixing and matching virtualization technology in support of public and private cloud deployments. You can leverage virtualization as either as a component of a cloud, or as a way to bring more efficiency to the data center as stand-alone technology. Topics Include: Cloud Implementation Big Data technology Security, management, and governance issues Emerging Architectures New Cloud and Virtualization technologies
IBM once famously claimed, "No One Ever Gets Fired for Buying IBM". But what do ambitious CIOs do to not just avoid being fired but actually earn a seat at the Board Table? Why do some CIOs thrive famously even when IT budgets get slashed and yesterday's technologies become innovation barriers? What risks do they embrace? How do they become BFFs with CEOs, CFOs, COOs, Sales VPs and CMOs? In this session, we will cover how CIOs get ahead by influencing the most core element of any board discussion – customers. Specifically, how new systems of engagements are creating new opportunities for CIOs to be in the driver's seat of what the board deeply cares for. At this session we will share case studies and framework to build a seamless customer engagement model that radiate outward from a strong IT presence – A model that enables a deeply relevant, highly engaging and revenue generating conversation between the business and their customers. Nothing less than the future of business is at stake!
As marketing is getting more and more complex, data intensive and technology driven, it is important for CIOs to understand the new marketing era we live in. The pressure for CIOs to earn a seat at the strategic table was greatly enhanced by Gartner's report in 2012 that pointed to the CMO as the champion of the technology budget in the near future. Specifically, CIOs can partner with marketing leaders to optimize the use of technology to increase execution velocity and scale departmental efficiency. A collaborative relationship between the CIO and CMO is a must in today's evolving IT landscape, as they drive towards ensuring a customer-driven approach that benefits the entire business.
Historically IT and "The Business" have been considered separate parts of the organization at times working in tandem and at times in conflict with each other. History, however, proves not to be a reliable predictor of the present and future- in today's digital age, IT undergirds all business, drives business outcomes, and has approached a singularity with the business. In this sense, the divide between IT and the Business is a false one; this track aims to discuss the convergence points and to place IT in the forefront of key trends in the world of business today. The large trends on all of our minds- cloud computing, Big Data, BYOD, and Mobile are all hot topics in both the technology and the business arenas. As these trends amplify and connect, the IT Professional and the IT Decision maker are both under enormous pressure to cater to the needs of both the empowered user but also to the security, compliance and privacy needs of the overall business. The Business of IT Track is meant to provide attendees with both frameworks for how to optimize these trends but also to practically meet the tech-driven business needs of the company. We've assembled some of the most dynamic IT thinkers and practitioners to both educate and provoke in this Brave New World of technology-driven business. Topics Include: The Mobile Advantage Internet of Things IT Business Value Marketing of IT – make the CMO your new best friend The Aspirational IT Pro: Getting to CEO Bridges the disconnect between IT and Business Functions Enables IT to play a dynamic and proactive role in the running of the Business Liberates IT from sequestration/silo Connects IT with clear revenue and profit goals Provides clear strategy on optimizing users' changing consumption patterns Delivers solid career advice to aspirational IT Professionals
DevOps, when done right, usually goes unnoticed. It's only when something breaks that all eyes turn to IT. If your boss only sees you when the app is down, however, that's not really doing your career any favors. In this session we'll talk about how to prove your value to the organization by looking at the positive side: that is, how much money you've saved your company. We'll take a look at how you can use tools like Chef, Puppet, Sensu and Logstash to quantify your value to your company. After this session, you'll be able to walk into a meeting with your boss ready to talk about your value to the company (and to ask for a raise).
The IT application ecosystem is going through dramatic transformations with the use of cloud computing and mobility. Users expect ever increasing and improving application functionality and are intolerant of disruptions to availability. IT leaders and practitioners have the unique opportunity to dramatically improve their ability to influence and enhance business activities and help their organizations meet their goals and objectives through effective application development, deployment, and management. If they succeed they will be the heroes of the organization; if they fail, end users and business units will go around IT to get what they need. The Interop Las Vegas 2014 Application track will bring together some of the industry's best and brightest thought leaders, practitioners, and vendors to provide their ideas and experiences on successfully addressing the challenges of application governance, deployment, management, and monitoring. They will also discuss a number of other key concepts, considerations, and technologies that are essential to providing high quality and secure applications. Sessions in the track will cover a broad range of application-oriented topics from both a business and technology perspective. Session topics include migrating applications to the cloud, case studies of application management, and leveraging applications to enhance the services IT provides to the business. Topics Include: Ensuring real-time performance on IP networks Build or Buy Applications Machine Code Application Performance Management
Many organizations are developing their own mobile and internal applications as well as using off-the-shelf software. They need an app distribution method that's easy to access and always available. This session will discuss the need for an Enterprise App Store. This store should include mobile applications and cloud-enabled enterprise applications, including PaaS and SaaS. We'll discuss key concepts and considerations for developing, deploying, and maintaining an internal enterprise app store. The speaker will also share use cases and case studies to demonstrate leading practices.
The Internet of Things (IoT) has the potential to be as transformative to business and society as the Industrial Revolution. It's a technology trend that cannot be ignored. By the end of this decade, according to some estimates*, more than 200 billion "things" will be connected to the Internet, pumping their data across the network and into data centers. The need to handle, store, analyze, and report this data will profoundly affect IT structures and practices. This vendor-agnostic, technology-focused summit will bring together industry leaders to provide insights into the impact of the IoT and discuss the challenges and opportunities for the IT community. Key Takeaways: Attendees will discover: · The transformative potential the Internet of Things holds for commerce and society. · The challenges facing the network in dealing with billions of connected devices. · The standards (and their lack) for communications protocols, apps, and data sharing. · The need to enhance security and data privacy in the network. · The use of data analytics to extract actionable information from IoT data. · Where we are today on the road to IoT, and what the next few years will bring. Who Should Attend: This summit is well suited to strategic planners and network engineers seeking to understand the IoT trend and how it will provide business opportunities as well as affect network services over the course of the decade.

St. Michael Battling a Demon Wednesday Hours of All Saints: Compline Hours of Catherine of Cleves, in Latin Illuminated by the Master of Catherine of Cleves The Netherlands, Utrecht, ca. 1440 7 1/2 x 5 1/8 inches (192 x 130 mm) The last of the miniatures for the Hours of All Saints is this unusual—but striking—image of Michael engaged in a fierce fight with a demon. (All the other miniatures in the series depict quiet adoration of the Godhead.) Michael's face might remain calm, but his windblown clothing reflects the heat of his battle against an especially nasty-looking demon. The white tendrils of the background, while decorative, contribute to the sense of agitation.

Adams, Sr., Mrs. Robert Charles, Mr. Laurens M. Hamilton, The Heineman Foundation, Mrs. Donald F. Hyde, Mrs. Jacob M. Kaplan, Mrs. John Kean, Mr. Paul Mellon, Mr. and Mrs. Charles F. Morgan, Mr. Lessing J. Rosenwald, Mr. and Mrs. August H. Schilling, Mrs. Herbert N. Straus, Mrs. Landon K. Thorne, Mrs. Alan Valentine, Mr. and Mrs. Arnold Whitridge, and Miss Julia P. Wightman, 1970; MSS M.917, p. 44–M.945, f. 123r
Hours and Masses for the Seven Days of the Week The most unusual texts in Catherine's manuscript are the series of Hours and Masses for every day of the week. Medieval Christian tradition associated certain figures or themes with different days. Thus Sunday, the day of the Resurrection, was the Lord's Day; Thursday was connected with the Eucharist since that sacrament was instituted on Holy Thursday; and Monday was the day of the dead, since their torments were suspended on Sunday but recommenced the following day. In Catherine's prayer book, the themes for the Hours and Masses of the seven days of the week are:
Who Was Catherine of Cleves? Catherine of Cleves (1417–1476) is known for two things: her Book of Hours and her protracted political battle against her husband. In 1430 she married Arnold of Egmond (1410 –1473), becoming duchess of Guelders. Although she bore her husband six children, the marriage was not happy. By 1440 Catherine refused to live with him. War between husband and wife was sparked by Arnold's disinheriting his only living son, Adolf (1438–1477; rumor had it that Adolf accused his father of homosexuality). Catherine's siding with her son in the conflict led to anarchy. The cities of Nijmegen, Zutphen, and Arnhem supported Catherine and her son; Roermond sided with the duke. In 1465 mother and son imprisoned Arnold, forcing him to abdicate. Adolf, as duke, spent six years in ceaseless struggles with his father's supporters. In 1471 Catherine watched in horror as Arnold secured his freedom and regained his title while Adolf was imprisoned. Arnold died in 1473, disinheriting both wife and son. Catherine's death in 1476 robbed her seeing the release of her son. Adolf's liberty was short-lived; he died the next year.

Inside Andy Samberg's Bachelor Party
Monday on "Late Night with Seth Meyers," Seth welcomed his former "SNL" castmate Andy Samberg to the show. Turns out these guys are best buds in real life – so much so that Seth even attended Andy's bachelor party in Las Vegas. But it wasn't just gambling and strip clubs — they also went to a David Copperfield magic show. Sound lame? Wait until you see the very special photo Andy and his pals took backstage with the magic man. The only thing missing is Timberlake. This got us wondering which "SNL" alum you would like to party with in Vegas. Tweet your thoughts to @MCallahanLA, using #SNLVegasPal. Or like our new Nighttime in No Time Facebook page and leave us a comment.
Jon Hamm's Hilarious Tourist Photobombs
On Monday's "Tonight Show," Jimmy Fallon did a new segment called Celebrity Photobombs. And it featured Jon Hamm surprising completely unsuspecting tourists who were posing for photos on the roof of the GE Building at 30 Rockefeller Plaza. Hamm would wait until the last moment before jumping behind them as the shot was taken. Fallon also joined in on the action. Together, Hamm and Fallon did a photobomb chest bump and a move they called Lady and the Tramp… but with a hoagie instead of spaghetti. There's something about Hamm eating ham that just doesn't feel right. Have you ever done an epic photobomb or been photobombed? Tweet us your best pics to @MCallahanLA, using #NiNTPhotobomb. Or like our new Nighttime in No Time Facebook page and post your photo there.
Crude Comments & Crass Behavior Mar 'Bachelor' Finale
Monday on the season finale of "The Bachelor," Juan Pablo picked Nikki Ferrell over Clare Crawley, and the bad news was clearly upsetting for the hairstylist from Sacramento. Juan Pablo tried to smooth things over by offering her a hug, but Clare pushed him away and instead gave him a piece of her mind. Telling the Venezuelan that she would never want her children having a father like him, Clare stormed off and continued to berate the man she thought she loved. But perhaps more shocking, Clare kind of revealed the vulgar comment Juan Pablo made while they were on a date in a helicopter, cementing Juan Pablo's status as the most hated Bachelor ever. And to top off the night, Juan Pablo would not declare his love for Nikki, just saying they're now "starting off." Sure, you can't make a man say he loves someone, but thanks to Twitter, you can sure know when America can't stand the Bachelor!
Daredevil Jumps 2 Helicopters
Monday night on the series premiere of "Heirs to the Dare," legendary Harley-riding daredevil Bubba Blackwell attempted an extraordinary jump. Normally, Bubba might jump over trucks or buses, but his time he chose helicopters – with the blades spinning! A large crowd gathered to watch the potential carnage, knowing full well that if Bubba didn't clear the buzzing rotors, he'd be chopped to bits. Bubba aborted his first pass, before finding the nerve to launch off the ramp on the second attempt. And we're happy to say that after clearing the helicopters, Bubba is still in one piece. Nice that he didn't have to use one of those helicopters to rush him to the hospital.
Meteorologist Naps On-Air
It is National Napping Day, and the folks over at "Good Day New York" honored the pseudo-holiday by talking about sleep. Doctors recommend that the average person get at least seven hours of sleep and take a 25-minute midafternoon nap. While taking a short nap is healthy, napping longer than 30 minutes can be bad for you. It also appears that it is bad for you to sleep on set, as we saw meteorologist Mike Woods get attacked during a sleeping sketch.
Oscar Selfie Crashes Twitter
Sunday during the Academy Awards, host Ellen DeGeneres ventured into the audience to take a selfie with 18-time nominee Meryl Streep. Her real purpose? To get more retweets than any photo in history. And when Jennifer Lawrence, Julia Roberts, Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie, Bradley Cooper, and others squeezed in there, too… well, close to two million retweets later, Ellen got her record. Not only that, she literally broke Twitter, shutting down the service for several minutes during the broadcast. Hope your live-snarking wasn't interrupted!
Jennifer Lawrence Takes Tumble at Oscars
Sunday night on the 86th Annual Academy Awards, the film "Gravity" walked away with seven Oscars. On the red carpet it was gravity that also defeated America's sweetheart, Jennifer Lawrence, as she was walking, but not for long. Lawrence quickly rose to her feet with a smile on her face. Last year, J.Law famously fell while climbing the stairs to the stage to accept her Oscar for Best Actress in "Silver Linings Playbook," and host Ellen DeGeneres joked that if she won this year, they would bring the Oscar to her. Luckily (or rather, unluckily), Lawrence lost to Lupita Nyong'o, thus saving her the "trip." (Sorry, we couldn't resist!)
Stars Spoof Famous Viral Videos
On Sunday night, after "The 86th Academy Awards" broadcast, Jimmy Kimmel aired a special "Live After the Oscars" edition from his studio across the street. With the help of a bunch of A-list actors, Kimmel showed a series of dramatic reinterpretations of classic viral videos such as "Keyboard Cat," "Double Rainbow," "David After Dentist," and "Charlie Bit My Finger." Each film featured Oscar winners such as Kevin Spacey, Meryl Streep, Tom Hanks, and Ben Kingsley, along with other favorites like the Hemsworth brothers, Samuel L. Jackson, Seth Rogen, and Joseph Gordon-Levitt. Despite all that talent, we're not so sure these new videos are nearly as funny as the originals. But this did make us wonder what viral video you would like to see made into a movie by Kimmel and his pals. Tweet your thoughts to @MCallahanLA, using #ViralKimmel. Or find our new Nighttime in No Time Facebook page and leave us a comment.
Jimmy Fallon's Polar Plunge
Somebody just joined the Polar Bear Club! Monday morning's "Today" showed some frozen footage of how Jimmy Fallon likes to spend his weekends, apparently. The brand new "Tonight Show" host jetted from New York to Chicago, where a large crowd looked on, as a fully-clothed Jimmy took an icy plunge into Lake Michigan! It was Fallon's best effort to make good on a deal he struck with Chicago mayor Rahm Emanuel: Jimmy promised Rahm he'd literally jump into Lake Michigan if His Honor would be a guest on "The Tonight Show". So when Rahm called his bluff, Jimmy hopped a flight, headed for the frozen shores, and turned his best suit into a wet suit! Jimmy looked more than a little bit invigorated by the icy dive, and local reports put the water temperature right around 32 degrees.

My first pair of Crocs..
I was very iffy to buy a pair of Crocs because what everyone say's about them then I see these and they don't look like the average Crocs. I picked the overall black with some green in it, and they are beautiful but I picked these because I am on my feet all day, from 8am to 5pm and they are just great, they have these little bumps inside them and when you can move your feet up and down and it's a good small massage. They are a cloth fabric which does get dirty quickly and the soles are plastic so your feet do sweat without the socks you should wear with these. Overall I think I made a great purchase.

Love These Shoes!
These shoes are so comfortable to wear! They don't hurt my feet and I have back and hip problems so I feel pain very easily. The soles are so light and comfortable. I wear an 8 or 8.5 but in these shoes an 8 fits great. The heels slips sometimes but I do have a narrow heel which can be solved with heel grips. They look like the best sport shoe out there and I have had many compliments when I wear them. It is very stretchy to start with but doesn't loose it's form after wearing it for a long time. I am going to get another pair in another great color.

Wish they'd worked for me
Very cute style with the potential to be comfortable, but the footbed was too narrow for my feet while the length, in the size I usually wear in Crocs, was too long, causing the heel to slip. They may work fine for you if you have a narrow foot.

Great shoes!
Before I bought these, I had only owned clogs. I wore these to work today for the first time and they did not disappoint! I didn't think they would have the same amount of cushion as my clogs but they do! I work standing/walking for eight hours and my feet don't hurt at all. The only piece of advice I would give future buyers is that you have to wear socks or at least shoe liners because your feet will sweat. Other than that, these shoes are awesome!

All comments on unintended changes will be considered and, if warranted, U.S. Department of Commerce will revise the rule. 2 CFR Part 1329 The U.S. Department of Commerce is proposing to remove its regulation implementing the Governmentwide common rule on drug-free workplace requirements for financial assistance, and issuing a new regulation to adopt the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) guidance. This regulatory action implements the OMB's initiative to streamline and consolidate into one title of the CFR all Federal regulations on drug-free workplace requirements for financial assistance. These changes constitute an administrative simplification that would make no substantive change in U.S. Department of Commerce policy or procedures for drug-free workplace.
