Failure to prepare is not an option
Posted by: TechTalker
Failure to prepare for a disaster is not an option, a fact driven home after working 25 years in IT, but many organizations still are not prepared for unplanned events/outages and should be. Some people consider a disaster in IT to be the total loss of a data center and associated business systems, when in actuality a far smaller event, such as loss of a single database that hosts your company's web site, can be just as disastrous.
Does your company/organization have a disaster recovery plan? If so, have you tested it lately? If you answered yes to both questions then congratulations and good job. If not, read on to find out what you can do to prepare for a disaster.
Many people think that preparing for a disaster is something that happens when they are asked to do so by someone else, which is good when that happens, but lacking a specific request to prepare for a disaster is not an acceptable reason to be unprepared. Preparing for a disaster starts with you and what follows are the steps you can take to proactively create and test a disaster recovery plan before a disaster occurs where you work.
The first step towards preparing for a disaster is creating a disaster recovery plan. In this example a database administration/development team has created a formal database disaster recovery plan using a template that includes the following sections –
1. Title page
2. Purpose and Scope
3. Plan Objectives
4. Recovery Team Contact Information/Responsibilities
5. Standard Emergency Procedures
6. Recovery Scenarios/Action Plans
7. Command Center/Data Storage Details
8. Standby Facility Information
9. Critical Application/Database Inventory
10. Supporting Documentation/Information
The first five sections of the disaster recovery plan (Title Page, Purpose and Scope, Plan Objectives, Recovery Team Contact Information/Responsibilities, Standard Emergency Procedures) spell out what the disaster recovery plan will be used for (in this case database recovery), who will be responsible for leading and participating in the disaster recovery effort (database administration team), and what standard procedures should be followed to ensure personal safety and reduce collateral damage.
The sixth section (Recovery Scenarios/Actions Plans) is crucial as this is where each type of disaster, ranging in scope from large (loss of entire data center) to small (loss of a single database table), are each identified as a recovery scenario with a specific action plan identified/documented for each recovery scenario so that in the event of a real disaster the recovery team is ready to leap into action with minimal preparation.
The seventh through tenth sections (Command Center/Data Storage Details, Standby Facility Information, Critical Application/Database Inventory, Supporting Documentation/Information) are the supporting sections of the disaster recovery plan that address where the disaster recovery team will gather and be able to access backup media/recovery systems, know what applications/databases need to be recovered and in what order (priority), and have access to additional/supporting documentation and information to successfully recover from a disaster in a timely and effective manner.
Creating a disaster recovery plan, while very important, does not conclude the disaster recovery preparation process. Being truly prepared for a disaster requires testing a disaster recovery plan and its associated recovery scenarios/action plans initially, and on a scheduled basis. Disaster recovery testing does not have to be done all at once, rather start with the simplest recovery scenario/action plan, schedule and execute the disaster recovery testing exercise, hold a post-mortem meeting to identify lessons learned and update the disaster recovery plan accordingly, and repeat on a scheduled basis.
And that's all there is to it. Don't wait for a disaster to strike or be asked to create a disaster recovery plan. Start planning for the unforeseen today and create/test a disaster recovery plan as soon as possible. You, along with your organization, will be glad that you prepared for a disaster when a real emergency situation occurs and your team is ready to leap into action and methodically save the day.

Help strange creatures to bring the eye to a mysterious customer.
3.75 / 5.00 17,343 ViewsEDIT: Thanks for frontpage NG! Also, that shop problem is fixed now, so refresh your browser to see new version. Sorry about that.
NOTE: THERE ARE NEW SECTIONS THAT COVER HOW TO CONTROL YOUR BOTS. Also, the game (unfortunately) runs a lot better in Internet Explorer...)
The long awaited sequel to BotArena2 is here! With new features such as;
-What players have been begging for: controllable bots!
-Instant gameplay via challenge mode!
-A wide range of new weapons, plating and chassis!
-Interface and graphic improvements
-And much more!
Thank you to all the fans for their support which carried me into making the sequel. Now please, sit back and enjoy BotArena3!
This is not a waste of web space, contrary to the author's name. This is a work of art that is the 2nd most amazing thing I have ever seen where you can customize bots, give them names, and help them face off other bots.
Good Game
Good game, but it would be nice if it involved more strategy, and had a greater selection of weapons. Plus it would be great if you could make PVP version so you could play against others.
Its come along away...
For those who played and liked the original Bot arena, this is your dream come true. In the first game, you could only watch as your robot moronically rammed into a wall ,got stuck in a corner, or made idiotic movement decisions witch often led to its death. But this time you have the ability to control your bot slightly by clicking with the mouse. This not only prevents frustrating moment, but also gives the game a slight twist of strategy. Also the graphics have much improved and you now have more customizable options. Even if you did not see the other games in the series, you are sure to be impressed with this arena style battle game that is in my opinion, is one of the best and most anticipated browser games out there.

This was despite avoiding what is the obvious 'Pool of Death', with Pool A featuring tournament hosts England, the Wallabies and Wales.
Hansen did say increased fixtures against Argentina would ensure the Pumas would not be afraid of facing the defending champions, with the two nations guaranteed to play each other every year in The Investec Rugby Championship.
"I think it will create a bit of excitement around the world and from our point of view we are reasonably happy but a lot of things can change between now and World Cup time so we won't get too far ahead of ourselves," Hansen said.
"Argentina we will know about because we play them now in a tournament every year so they will be strong as they always are and they will know a lot of about us, that fear factor I guess of each other won't be as strong."
"Tonga we know they can turn it on on any given moment and if we get them on a night when they want to be really physical then we will have to be on our game, I think there is a enough of a challenge in that pool to get us ready for a quarter-final."
The Tongans were thrilled with being drawn with the All Blacks.
"I think it is the best draw that we ever had," Tonga Rugby Union President Epeli Taione said.
"We couldn't wish for a better draw for us. The biggest thing for us is a massive relief that we avoid our fellow Pacific Islanders in Samoa and Fiji and now we can just focus on Argentina and New Zealand.
All Blacks captain Richie McCaw said he kept an eye on the pool of death, and said it was good the team now knew who they had to play during the pool stages.
"I think we're reasonably happy, I suppose when they came to drawing out those last four teams I was pretty happy New Zealand didn't come out where Australia did but it is what it is and you have got to deal with whatever is put in front of you," he said.
"We will have our own challenges whoever we play with Argentina and Tonga and then you earn your way through the next one. You have just got to get it right whatever is ahead of you.
"A little bit (of holding his breath when band one team being drawn for Pool A), but had I been standing there and we had been in that pool then you go, well that is what you have got to deal with and if you are going to win it you have got to be good enough to deal with it. That is the way it is."

I´m not about to watch anything produced by today´s revisionist liberals.To me, the Lincoln movie was a flop because they tried to make him a civil rights leader at the time.Of course the comparison you´re supposed to draw is Obama is a modern day Lincoln.The left wants to make Christianity look like a cult and historical fabrication to discredit people of faith.They´ve already destroyed a great deal of morality in this country and obama is as far from a moral leader as you can get.

I was looking forward to this, but the ninja angel at Sodom and Gomorrah had me scratching my head. Then when they totally left off the story of Jacob and Esau and Joseph and his brothers, and cut from the sacrifice of Isaac to the slavery of the Jews in Egypt, I went on a rant.I know that the producers had to make cuts, but to leave out Jacob and Joseph!!!

What #6 & #7 said. If you stop to think about the millions who have never opened the Book, then if the TV documentary even provokes a few of them to read even a few verses, the show will have been a success.

The movie skips over most of Genesis--which is where a lot of the best narratives are (Jacob and Esau, Joseph and his brothers, Joseph in Egypt, Jacob´s ladder, etc.) But it did show the most important, which was the story of Abraham. Believe it or not, a lot of people don´t know this story. I heard someone, who was Jewish, say it was Moses who was asked to sacrifice his son. It´s better to get part of the story than none, in my opinion. Click Here if you Like this Comment 1 person like this.

In today´s TV world or media world in general where anything Christian is avoided like the plague, I commend Burnett and Downey for their efforts. I have read the Bible and still read it. The movie is not going to be as good as the book but perhaps it will entice some to open the Bible for the first time. The History channel is doing a good thing. The unbelievers and those who ridicule Christians have a ready platform on most all of the channels and programs to spew their hate. The source of my faith comes from the Bible....God´s word!

Spot on #8. Skimming over the Old Testament did no favors to the Bible, IMHO. The movie Ten Commandments, was 3 hours or more. That covered only Moses. Some even think Charlton Heston was Moses. At least the producers could say their production was an overview of the Bible, not title the series The Bible. IMHO, the series is lacking, too many omissions, such that too many people could get the wrong impression of the Book called the Bible. I did like that fact that the production showed the place that Abraham (Abram) has in history and the Ishmael/Issac situation. Click Here if you Like this Comment
I will NOT watch "The Bible" on the History Channel... period. I do not want to see the media´s spectacle about a God in whom they do not believe and a Christ they despise.Why do we giggle with delight when the popular culture slaps us only a little bit? We are so grateful they don´t slap us too hard. Click Here if you Like this Comment 1 person like this.
The producers said they were inspired to do this series while watching "The Ten Commandments" with their children and the kids howled with laughter because they thought it was so hokey and they wanted to do something more realistic.Sadly, in my opinion, they failed. Their production is going to be every bit as dated as DeMille´s "Ten Commandments"--which I think is still far better--with their Ninja angels and Samson the Rastafarian. Don´t think it´ll stand the test of time. And...DeMille did a far better crossing of the Red Sea than Barnett and Downey did. Click Here if you Like this Comment 1 person like this.
I doubt that we will ever again see bible-based movies made on an epic scale by Hollywood. So Cecil B. deMille didn´t direct this production, and Edith Head wasn´t available for costume design. And they didn´t have a word-for-word recitation of the bible in King James´ English. That doesn´t mean the series wasn´t effective in reaching some people. Click Here if you Like this Comment
I tuned in late, coming in just as Abraham is taking Isaac out into the desert.Having just read a book i\on the concept of the "Beloved Son," the substitution of a lamb instead of a ram was quite striking -- and a wonderful example of (I assume) unintentional Christian bias.Lamb provided by God to save Isaac equals Lamb of God provided by God to save all of us (aka Jesus Christ.)After this deep and serious subject was given short shrift, the whole crew then went to Eqypt -- with me scrambling, trying to figure out why Abraham would be going to Egypt AFTER this event. I finally realized we were skipping ahead three generations.Perhaps this program might get some people interested in the Bible, but all it did was confuse me and seem to me so shallow, it could hardly elicit someone´s interest.Not to mention, the drearily reverential, hackneyed backgroud music gave me a headache.

If this Mark Burnett is the one who produced Sarah Palin´s Alaska & Stars Earn Stripes then I´ll give him the benefit of the doubt that his intentions are to be respectful of the Bible.

Like so many ventures into religion, this series has it´s positives and negatives. It really is a "tickle your ears" approch to God´s word. Having said that, it is also by leaps and bounds better than the typical TV fare that we have been inundated with over the last few decades. The only harm I see from such a production as this, is that there really are people out there who take whatever "hollywood" puts on the screen (TV or movie) as "reality. They will accept it as "real" and have it shape their views. In this case, the truth is a victim and those that accept this production as such, will be the losers in the long run. People should accept it for what it is, a financially/ideologically motivated production that was done under the guise of "entertainment". Nothing more, nothing less.

The History Channel is a rather poetic name for a reality TV based organization.I was saddened when I had seen they were going to explain the Bible to everyone.If you are ever compelled to read the Bible, it explains quite well what is happening in this world, and why the likes of the history channel have to tell insulting out-right lies about God´s Word.If you want to know about Gods Word, read the Bible, pray and go to church.

#26, I´m with you. When my brothers and I were young, our grandmother gave us a Hurlbut´s Story of the Bible.

Kudos to Roma and her husband for getting the message out. We lament the people who know nothing about anything important and here is a decent effort to help those who never heard the Word.Give it a rest, theologians, God reaches us all differently and in ways we can understand.I once read a story about a man who was ready to commit suicide, but kept hearing the words from his daughter´s Veggie Tales videos and gave his life to Christ instead. And all he heard was the voice of a tomato character saying: "God loves you very much."...and he decided to believe it.There´s power in Word, no matter how it´s presented.

Although we also noticed the omissions of pivotal Scriptural events recorded in Genesis, as well as the emphasis diverted to others in this film, it does seem to be a quality production. The movie presents a sort of too rapid timeline through so many years of history and, as such, simply cannot dramatize everything in this movie series.However, we know that God´s word, ´´will not return void,´´ so hopefully viewers will be inspired by this admirable, yet flawed, production to read the Bible for themselves, beginning with Genesis, and then they will be able to sort out the events from film´s descrepencies. The timeline format reveals the lineage leading to the birth of the Messiah. Click Here if you Like this Comment 1 person like this.

text: Each one of us faces challenges in life that can seem daunting and impossible. It is in times like these we see how truly limited we are in our humanity. Yet, throughout Scripture, we see how God steps in and makes the impossible - possible. Ephesians 3:20 tells us that God is "able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think." But the question we can find ourselves asking is - How can we live a life where God moves miraculously in the face of our impossibilities?

By Cecile Lefort and Naomi Tajitsu
SYDNEY/WELLINGTON, Feb 4 (Reuters) - The Australian and New Zealand dollars shot up to fresh four-year peaks on the yen on Monday and held their ground against their U.S. counterpart, while bond prices fell to their lowest since May as major support levels finally gave way.
The Aussie flew to 96.78 yen and the kiwi popped up to 78.74 yen, their strongest levels since Aug. 2008. The Antipodeans have gained more than 17 percent each since November on the belief that reflation in Japan would require a much weaker yen.
The Aussie was last at 96.63 with open sky all the way to the psychological level of 100 last seen on Aug. 5 2008.
Against its U.S. counterpart, the Aussie rose to$1.0425, from $1.0404 early, having recovered from a low of $1.0362 hit on Friday. Immediate resistance was found at $1.0446 with $1.0405, the Jan 29 low, providing support.
The Aussie was underpinned by stronger Asian bourses and rising commodity prices after solid manufacturing data from the United States, Europe and China late last week.
The spot price of iron ore, Australia's top export earner, climbed to $153.20 a tonne to be up 76 percent from last year's lows.
'While the AUD is strong and will continue to weigh on domestic demand indicators... global factors suggest AUD should remain buoyant,' summarises Greg Gibbs, a strategist at Royal Bank of Scotland in Singapore.
This explained why the Australian dollar has been resilient to a run of surprisingly weak data including a fall of 4.4 percent in building approvals and a continued drop in job ads.
Other data out on Monday included a private gauge of Australian inflation which showed price pressures were restrained in the first month of the year, suggesting there was still scope to cut interest rates further.
The Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) holds its monthly policy meeting on Tuesday but markets imply less than a one-in-five probability of an easing to a record low 2.75 percent.
A Reuters poll of 23 analysts found all but one expected an unchanged outcome this month, though many saw a chance of further easing as the year progressed.
Across the Tasman sea, the New Zealand dollar jumped to a 5-1/2-year high versus a currency basket, propelled by growing speculation of an interest rate rise in coming months.
'The New Zealand market has priced all rate cuts out of the equation and it's now talking about a Reserve Bank hike, while Australia still has cuts priced in. This is why we've seen the kiwi jump against the Aussie,' said Tim Kelleher, head of institutional FX sales at ASB.
On a trade-weighted basis, the kiwi soared to 76.46, its highest since July 2007, while rallying to $0.8493, its strongest since September 2011.
It outperformed the Aussie, which sank to a 2-1/2-year low around NZ$1.2275.
Following a warning from the Reserve Bank of New Zealand last week of house price risks, Kelleher said markets were pricing in a 10 percent chance of a 25 basis point rate rise from 2.5 percent by mid-year.
But the kiwi faces downward risks from employment data due this week. If data on Thursday shows that the jobless rate stayed high in Q4 following a surprising jump the previous quarter, some see the kiwi being knocked back towards $0.8350.
At the same time, traders noted offers hovering around $0.8500, while some pointed out that selling by Asian central banks has sapped upward momentum in the past months.
New Zealand government bonds fell, pushing yields 5.5 basis points higher across the curve.
Australian government bond futures plumbed nine-month lows, tracking a fall in U.S. Treasuries. The three-year contract dived to 97.03, its weakest since May, having pierced heavy support around 97.10.
The 10-year contract also sank to 96.415, a May 1 trough, having broken the 50 percent retracement of the March-May climb around 96.480. Next major support is at 96.272, the 61.8 percent retracement of the same move.

No Longer Gone: After 20 years, Renata Adler Is Back In Print
"I guess I felt—and now feel—as though I was 19 when I wrote it," Renata Adler said of her first novel Speedboat. "And maybe still am. And by Pitch Dark, I was maybe 19-and-a-half."
In fact, Ms. Adler, a slight, bespectacled woman who was seated across from me a few weeks ago at a café near Grand Central, was turning 38 when Speedboat was published in 1976. Pitch Dark came out seven years later. Both, long out of print, have just been reissued by NYRB Classics, but not before other writers drummed up interest about Ms. Adler's work. The National Book Critics Circle campaigned for Speedboat to be reissued, and David Shields, whose 2010 book Reality Hunger helped introduce a new generation of readers to Ms. Adler's debut, wrote in an email to me, "A crucial part of the performance of her literary persona—in Speedboat and Pitch Dark and elsewhere—is how resolutely un-nice she is while remaining deeply civilized."
In person, she's friendly, occasionally pausing mid-thought, hooking her left thumb into the black belt of her blue jeans while she chooses her next words. On the page, she is calm, observant and logical; she is funny, with an eye for the ridiculous; she is rigorous and intelligent. And she is unabashedly honest. Read More

For more than 60 years, the Department of Nursing has developed professional nurses who are liberally educated, ethically grounded and clinically competent health care providers.
The baccalaureate program at Salve Regina is accredited by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education. Since its inception, our program has maintained full approval from the Rhode Island Board of Nurse Registration and Nursing Education.
We offer two plans of study leading to the Bachelor of Science degree in nursing: the pre-licensure track designed for high school graduates and transfer and second-degree students, and the degree completion track for students who are already registered nurses.
Through a mixture of classroom and experiential learning, our innovative program prepares a new generation of health care providers to promote the health and well-being of our multicultural society. Our challenging curriculum emphasizes patient-centered care, introducing students to the essential knowledge, values and skills needed to think critically, communicate effectively and assess and intervene therapeutically as professional nurses.
With a foundation in the sciences and liberal arts and a dedication to lifelong learning, our graduates are well prepared to continue their development as health care providers and members of the global health partnership, crafting the role of the nurse in the future.
Taken in the first semester at Salve Regina, this course explores the development of the discipline of nursing and the expectations of the nurse of the future. Topics include nursing history, nursing theories and models of practice, the various settings of practice and the roles of the professional nurse, the social policy statement of the profession, the scope and standards of nursing practice, ethical and legal challenges encountered in practice, and the responsibility of the nurse to communicate appropriately and effectively while advocating for both the patients and the profession. Course sections are kept small and the instructor becomes the faculty adviser for each group of students as they move through the nursing program.
Salve Regina's state-of-the-art simulation lab, which features "patients" of all different ages, allows nursing students to practice skills they would observe in a clinical setting but not actually get the chance to do themselves. The high-fidelity mannequin talks and interacts with students, responding in the way a typical patient would respond.
Our nursing program is designed to give majors the complete college experience. Students in the Department of Nursing are encouraged to study abroad, play sports and participate in student clubs and organizations. In addition, there are opportunities for nursing majors to complete a minor or double major.

Student literary publication seeking student submissions
Published: Wednesday, February 15, 2012
Updated: Thursday, February 16, 2012 15:02
"Northern Eclecta," NDSU's student-published literary journal is now accepting submissions for their sixth-annual publication.
"We're looking for several different kinds of submissions from students: fiction, creative nonfiction, poetry, photography, artwork and quick takes," this year's editor-in-chief, Amber Fetch, said.
'Quick takes' are very short fiction, very short creative nonfiction and short story submissions, according to Fetch.
"There are many benefits to submitting work to be published in 'Northern Eclecta,'" Fetch added. "One of these benefits is that we get back to submitters relatively quickly about receipt of their submissions. Also, we give them notice of acceptance or rejection by the middle of April. This is one of the quickest responses a writer or artist can get in regard to submission to a journal."
Fetch was sure to mention that although all submissions are not accepted, that the editors "generally try to give [authors] constructive criticism regarding their work so that they can polish it up if they want to try to submit to another journal."
"One of the biggest benefits of being published in 'Northern Eclecta' is that upon publication, all subsequent rights return to the contributor," Fetch said. "Basically, it's an easy way to get your work copyrighted and copyrighted to you rather than to 'Northern Eclecta.'"
"To students hesitant to submit their work, I would say just go for it," Fetch encouraged. "It may be scary to take the risk of being rejected, but the reward of being published is worth it. 'Northern Eclecta' is one of the easiest ways to get published and with the least amount of red tape."
Fetch, a senior majoring in English, had been published in "Northern Eclecta" for the past two years but is excited for the different position this year.
"It's great to see behind the scenes of how the journal is publicized and then published," she said.
Along with students enrolled in English 213, 313 and 413, the literary publications classes offered at NDSU, Fetch is proud of all the work done by students.
"These students do all of the work associated with producing a literary journal from publicizing the call for submissions to reviewing the submissions to doing the document design and desktop publishing," Fetch said.
For those interested in submitted personal work for this year's edition of "Northern Eclecta" can contact Fetch at firstname.lastname@example.com or visit the publication's website at www.NorthernE.com or on Facebook.
The number of submissions per person allowed in each category is up to two for fiction and creative nonfiction, four submissions for poetry, three for both photography and artwork and as many as six submissions of quick takes.

Fortunately, my friend Mike Fitzgerald of Huntington explained it much better, advising that I focus on breathing while meditating, and if my monkey mind tries to distract, I should "Envision those thoughts rolling past like they're floating on water. Don't grasp for any of them. Don't even try or you'll only make it worse. Just watch, like a movie, what streams past. See what your mind is offering. There's a reason for you to see this."
Mike suggested counting breaths, chanting or humming, saying the humming vibrates the brain and lulls it into a relaxed state.
And relaxed is what I need, since having a mind that seldom slows is exhausting.
I used to joke that meditation was a way to rationalize sitting around doing nothing, then I actually tried to sit around and do (and think) nothing, and I quickly learned how hard it can be. I don't do "still" very well. I can't even relax while watching television -- I'm compelled to fold clothes or iron at the same time so I feel productive.
"Taming the monkey mind requires practice," said Mike. "You can get to the point that when the chattering arises, you can just notice it and then allow it to go away."
It was while trying to practice that I realized I may have been meditating for years without realizing that's what I was doing. All those times I took long drives because I needed to be on the road. Was that because I subconsciously knew I'd allow my thoughts to roam wherever they pleased, with no set goal or agenda? When I'd lose track of the hours while mindlessly removing every speck of paint from a piece of old furniture. Did that explain why I craved those types of projects?
I used to drag home thickly painted old pieces that take ages to strip because it felt like those things needed me to save them. But maybe those things were saving me. Grounding me. Allowing me to go into that zone that others go to while jogging or fishing or sitting in front of a machine that trades spinning cherries for dollars.
By not focusing for a while, the logjams from this forever-scrambling modern life can pass by long enough for the water to calm.
And for the monkey to start minding again.
