Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

Imperfect Central Bank Communication: Information versus Distraction
Much of the information communicated by central banks is noisy or imperfect. This paper considers the potential benefits and limitations of central bank communications in a model of imperfect knowledge and learning. It is shown that the value of communicating imperfect information is ambiguous. If the public is able to assess accurately the quality of the imperfect information communicated by a central bank, such communication can inform and improve the public's decisions and expectations. But if not, communicating imperfect communication has the potential to mislead and distract. The risk that imperfect communication may detract from the public's understanding should be considered in the context of a central bank's communications strategy. The risk of distraction means the central bank may prefer to focus its communication policies on the information it knows most about. Indeed, conveying more certain information may improve the public's understanding to the extent that it "crowds out" a role for communicating imperfect information.Download Info

The University believes that a fair performance evaluation system is one of the keys to a successful performance-based compensation system. The performance evaluation tool and process must be trusted by the employee and supervisor, effectively and consistently used, and should incorporate individual goal setting. The University's Appraisal and Development Plan (ADP) process is designed to support the growth and development of employees within the organization and to recognize employees for their overall performance and contribution to the organization. The evaluation of employee performance is intended to be a continuous process of communication between employees and supervisors and to serve several purposes, including the following:
It is the cost center administrator's responsibility to ensure performance evaluations are completed accurately and in a timely manner for his/her unit.
Resources and information on the University's Appraisal and Development Plan (ADP) process are available online for employees at http://www.missouristate.edu/human/training/ADPTraining.htm or by contacting the Office of Human Resources, Employee Development and Performance for assistance.
The immediate supervisor will evaluate the employee's performance using a rating scale that consists of the following five levels of performance: Exceptional, Commendable, Competent, Development Needed, and Unsatisfactory. Supervisors must conduct:
Both the supervisor and the employee will sign the performance evaluation report form at the conclusion of the Performance Planning Meeting and the Performance Appraisal Meeting. Signing the evaluation report does not mean the employee agrees with the evaluation; it means that the employee is aware of and has been informed of the evaluation.
Administrative practices to follow for the ADP process are:
Additionally, it is recommended that a mid-year meeting of the employee and supervisor be held to discuss progress and challenges related to accomplishing the performance plan.
The performance planning meeting will occur between October 1st and January 31st or within 30 days after the performance appraisal meeting. The performance planning meeting and the annual performance appraisal meeting may occur during the same meeting, if the supervisor desires. The performance planning meeting is required in order for supervisors and employees to discuss and come to a mutual understanding of job duties, objectives, and specific goals to be accomplished throughout the upcoming year. The supervisor communicates the University's and department's goals and objectives and helps the employee to relate his/her performance to the accomplishment of these goals by establishing measurable outcomes. This step is documented in Section 1 of the ADP form. The Organizational Values/Behaviors found in Section 2 should also be reviewed so that the supervisor and employee have a common understanding of behaviors which are considered the norm for the position. This step is a mutual review and planning exchange between the supervisor and employee.
The annual performance appraisal meeting will occur between October 1st and January 31st. Cost center administrators are encouraged to have their cost center's supervisors submit the completed ADP forms to them for review prior to meeting with the employee for the performance appraisal so the cost center administrator can help ensure performance evaluation ratings are consistently calibrated throughout the cost center. The ADP report is reviewed and discussed by the supervisor and employee. An integral part of this meeting is planning for the subsequent year's job duties, projects, and/or goals (see 5.2.1).
A mid-year meeting must be conducted by supervisors with employees who are performing at a less-than-competent level in any area. At this meeting a Performance Improvement Plan (PIP) must also be initiated. The mid-year meeting is optional for all others but can provide an opportunity for the supervisor and employee to discuss progress and identify any challenges to accomplishing the established goals/objectives established at the beginning of the rating period. A mid-year meeting will reduce the chance that surprises will occur at year-end during the annual performance evaluation.
The supervisor must develop a Performance Improvement Plan (PIP) when the employee's overall performance evaluation rating is less than "Competent" (a rating less than 3) or if the supervisor determines current performance requires improvement. The Performance Improvement Plan must clearly describe:
The PIP becomes part of the employee's Appraisal and Development Plan for the rating period it was initiated. Supervisors should consult with their next line of supervision (Reviewer) when initiating a PIP on an employee since the Reviewer also signs the form at the establishment of the PIP and at the Follow-Up Review. The Follow-Up Review with the employee should be conducted approximately 60 days following the initiation of a PIP. Supervisors may also want to contact the Office of Human Resources for guidance and assistance on the process prior to meeting with the employee.
The performance evaluation period is determined based upon the type of evaluation being rendered as described below.
New employees serve a six-month probationary period. During this period, the supervisor will complete two evaluations of the employee's work performance, at the third and sixth months of employment. Probationary evaluations assess the new employee's progress in learning the job.
During the first week of employment, the supervisor should conduct a performance planning meeting to review the job description with the employee and determine the most important duties to be learned and goals to be accomplished during the probationary period. The probationary evaluations are primarily developmental and help the supervisor identify employee strengths and weaknesses and areas where more training is required. In a probationary evaluation, a rating of "3" does not mean competent as it does in the regular performance appraisal system. A rating of "3" means satisfactory progress has been made in learning how to do the job competently. Higher or lower ratings during the probationary period mean the new employee is progressing faster or slower than expected. An overall score of "3", meaning satisfactory progress is being made, is required for the new employee to be recommended for continued employment. An overall performance rating of 2.00-2.99 (development needed) at the three- or six-month evaluation period indicates that the supervisor should clarify job expectations and performance standards with the employee and together determine which aspects of the job need further explanation or additional training. An overall performance rating of less than 2.00 (unsatisfactory progress) at the end of the probationary period will result in termination of employment with the University. The supervisor can recommend an extension of the probationary period based on documented evidence that the normal probationary period provided insufficient time for the employee's job suitability to be determined. Alternatively, if work is judged to be unsatisfactory, probationary employees may be dismissed at any time during the probationary period.
If a new employee has received a three- or six-month probationary evaluation by March 1, that score should be forwarded to the cost center administrator for inclusion in the Compensation Matrix. If a new employee has not received at least a three-month probationary evaluation by March 1, the supervisor should forward a performance rating of "3" to the cost center administrator for inclusion in the Compensation Matrix.
All employees successfully completing the probationary period will receive annual performance evaluations. All annual performance evaluations will occur between October 1 and January 31 of each fiscal year. The results of each year's performance evaluations will be used as input for development of the Compensation Matrix to determine salary increases that will be implemented July 1 (assuming sufficient funding is available for salary increases that year). New employees' three- or six-month probationary evaluations occurring between October 1 and January 31 will be used as input for the Compensation Matrix.
When an employee changes supervisors during the year, the following guidelines will determine the supervisor responsible for completing the ADP process for that employee. When a change of supervision occurs between:
If an employee believes that an unfair performance evaluation or inaccurate performance evaluation has been rendered, a written response to the evaluation may be submitted to the Office of Human Resources with a request that it be placed in his/her personnel file with the performance evaluation. Employees who choose to formally appeal their performance evaluation must follow the appeal process. While the performance rating or evaluation may be appealed, the actual compensation decision (i.e., the salary increase percentage) may not be appealed.
The Office of Human Resources also is available to advise or counsel employees about expected performance standards and to assist employees in making adjustments regarding performance.
Employees who believe that they have been discriminated against on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, ancestry, age, disability, sexual orientation, or veteran status with respect to a job performance evaluation may consult the Office for Institutional Equity and Compliance.

1. Project Description
The Gentoo/ARM Project works to keep Gentoo the most up to date and fastest ARM distribution available. We are responsible for the maintainance of all ARM specific meta-data and the testing of all other non ARM specific meta-data on the ARM architecture to ensure portability. Portability implies reuseable meta-data.
Bugs are tracked and resolved from the Gentoo bug tracker and correspondence is maintained on the various ARM related mailinglists. (gentoo-arm and those belonging to the sub-projects).
2. Project Goals
The goal of the Gentoo ARM development project is to guarantee that the ARM packages build using Gentoo meta-data are up to date. By continuously enhancing the meta-data, we provide the ARM user with the Gentoo community feeling, performance, freedom and up to dateness. The meta-distribution notion allows for a user to to be as bleeding edge as he/she wants:
Gentoo is unique because of its interpretation of the Meta-Distribution notion: all architectures share the same 'generic' meta-data (information about how to build packages - how to build a distribution). The ARM developers are responsible for building and testing packages using this meta-data. The meta-data gets marked 'tested' or 'stable' afterwards, depending on the building and testing expierience. Our users can use (but don't have to use) this information to build a system that suits their needs.
3. Developers
All developers can be reached by e-mail using email@example.com.
4. Herds
The Gentoo ARM project maintains the following herds:
5. How to Participate
Can you make computers do amazing things? Are you excited about exploring areas of computing never explored before? We are continuously looking for volunteers willing to spend some of their free time on this project. In return for your work, you get the respect of the ARM community.
If you are interested in helping, but don't have a niche that you are interested in filling, you can always look through bugs.gentoo.org. There are many many bugs waiting to be found and fixed and many enhancements looking to find someone to code them. Figure out a fix, implement it, test it, and then keep trying to make the patch smaller. Post it for review on bugs.gentoo.org, and keep working on it. If it seems ignored, make a new comment in the bug and/or mention it in #gentoo-ARM.
Summary: The ARM Development Project is devoted to keeping Gentoo in good shape on the ARM architecture.

Love Mo Rivera, he has given us so many great moments, found his wife Clara here http://fabwags.com/clara-rivera-is-mariano-mo-riveras-wife-photos/ and also here http://slimcelebrity.com/celebrity-athletes/mariano-riveras-wife-is-clara-rivera/
Report: Mariano Rivera may announce retirement for end of 2013 season
Mariano Rivera may announce his retirement for the end of this season, according to ESPN's Buster Olney. The 43-year-old reliever is expected to make the announcement as early as Saturday. The news would set up a possible summer-long goodbye tour around the MLB, similar to Chipper Jones's last season, after he made his retirement announcement in March.
Rivera had considered retiring after knee surgery ended his season last year, but decided to come back. The 12-time All-Star has spent his entire 18-year career with the Yankees and is the all-time saves leader in the MLB with 608.
It's an open secret that Mariano Rivera intends to retire, and that announcement figures to be very soon, perhaps Saturday.—
Buster Olney (@Buster_ESPN) March 07, 2013
Rivera's retirement would come at the end of the 2013 season, whenever he chooses to announce it.—
Buster Olney (@Buster_ESPN) March 07, 2013
I asked Rivera this spring if he would have retired last fall if he returned at end of 2012, and he indicated that would've been likely.—

Description: High Country News is looking for informed and enthusiastic interns to report on natural resource, environmental and community issues in the 11 Western states. High Country News, published twice-monthly in Paonia, Colo., is a nonprofit newsmagazine and website "for people who care about the West." The magazine reaches 23,000 subscribers — an estimated 60,000 readers — and the website reaches thousands more, including grassroots activists, public land managers, tribal officials, government policymakers, educators, students and interested citizens. The Los Angeles Times has written that High Country News is "the most influential environmental journal in the Mountain West," and according to Newsweek, "High Country News is a must for anyone following land use issues west of the 100th meridian." Our hard-hitting coverage has won many major journalism awards during the past few years, including: Every year, High Country News offers four to six internship positions, each six months long. Two to three new interns join us each June and January; we provide free housing and a $170-per-week stipend. To help defray moving costs, an additional $500 travel stipend is available upon successful completion of the internship. One exceptional candidate from each session may have the option of staying on another six months as an editorial fellow. Our interns and fellows are a key part of the HCN team; aside from a few minor tasks such as sorting the mail and answering phones, interns spend most of their time researching, interviewing, writing, and developing content -- both for print and online. We pride ourselves on fairness, accuracy and good writing, and we expect no less of our interns. For all of our internship positions, some prior journalism experience and/or education is preferred. We also prefer applicants who are familiar with High Country News and who have lived in the West and are familiar with its environmental and community issues. We strongly encourage Native American, Hispanic, and applicants from other under-represented backgrounds. All interns work with the staff editors to write news stories for the website and for the newsmagazine, ranging in length from 250 to 1,600 words. Depending on their experience and ability, editorial interns may also get the opportunity to write a 2,500- to 4,000-word feature story. Our editing process is rigorous -- all copy goes through two layers of editing and it is not unusual for a story to see six or eight drafts. Reporting is generally conducted over the phone and the Internet, but we do have money to send each intern out into the field at least once to do on-the-ground work. Our interns go on to become leaders in journalism and politics. They pursue careers as reporters, editors, educators, lawyers, policymakers and freelance writers. Upcoming start dates and application deadlines are as follows. Applications must be received in our office by the deadline date. Summer/Fall 2013 Start date - July 1, 2013 Winter/Spring 2014 Start date - Dec. 30, 2013 Applicants should send a cover letter, résumé, contact information for three references (phone and email), and three writing samples (plus multimedia samples, if applicable) to: Sarah Gilman, Associate Editor High Country News P.O. Box 1090 Paonia, CO 81428 Call 970-527-4898 or email sarah (at) hcn.org for further information.

Bose SoundDock Portable Video
Bose SoundDock Portable Video Transcript
[ Music ] ^M00:00:01
>> Hi, I'm David Carnoy executive editor for CNET.com. I'm here to tell you about the Bose Sound dock Portable. Now, Bose had one of the early iPod speaker systems with the Sound dock. And basically, what it's done here is just convert the Sound dock into a portable device. There's a built in battery on the back. It's a lithium ion battery. There's also a hideaway port on the front for your iPod. And the other significant addition is audio inputs. The original Sound dock did not have audio inputs. So with this one, you can actually take any audio device and connect it to the portable Sound dock. On the surface, this actually looks a lot like the original Sound dock, maybe a little bit smaller. There is a handle on top it truly is designed to be portable and carried around with you. The battery gets around three hours of battery life. That isn't great but Bose says if you keep the volume down a little bit you will get more battery life. And we found that to be the case with our tests. Like most iPod speaker systems, this one also comes with the remote. We actually like the remote. It's simple to use. It has a nice rubberized finish on it. You can't, you won't be able to see it in the video, but I can feel it. As with the original Sound dock we were pretty impressed with the sound quality of the Sound dock Portable. It isn't fantastic. But, it's certainly better than a lot of iPod speaker systems out there. And for a portable speaker it's actually very good. Really the two biggest down sides to the product are it doesn't have a built in Am Fm radio. A lot of iPod speaker systems have that at this point. It would be nice to have an AM FM radio, say if you're on the beach or something like that. Also, it's pretty darn expensive. The lithium ion battery is removable and you can get additional batteries. They are expensive. If you want to have portable power for several hours then you may want to buy an extra battery. Well, we wish it cost less. The Sound dock Portable is all in all a really good portable iPod speaker system. I'm David Carnoy and this is the Bose Sound dock Portable. ^M00:01:54 [ Music ]

Bose SoundDock (black) Review
The good: Relatively compact and portable iPod speaker with a detachable replaceable lithium-ion rechargeable battery that powers the speaker and iPod; includes auxiliary input and remote control; 30-day risk-free trial.
The bad: Expensive; no bass/treble controls; no clock or AM/FM radio; only three hours of battery life at full volume.
The bottom line: The Bose SoundDock Portable is a really good iPod speaker, but it should cost less than $400.

Michigan car buyers could soon get tax break on trade-ins
State lawmakers have reached a deal to give a tax break to car buyers who trade in old vehicles.
Both the state House and Senate passed bills Tuesday that would deduct the trade-in value of the old vehicle from the taxable value of the new one.
For example, say you're trading in a car worth $10,000 to buy a $30,000 dollar car. Right now, you have to pay sales tax on the full price of the new vehicle. Under this legislation, you would only pay sales tax on $20,000.
"I'm excited because we're giving something back to the average consumer," Senate Majority Leader Randy Richardville (R-Monroe) told reporters Tuesday. "And not only something back - we're giving something back that relates to the auto industry, which is kind of big in Michigan."
The change would also apply to boats and recreational vehicles.
Governor Rick Snyder has voiced concerns about a possible $200 million budget hole the plan could create once fully implemented. But Senate Bill 89 and House Bill 4234 phase in the tax break over a number of years. Their movement in the legislature Tuesday could indicate that a deal has been reached between legislative leaders and the governor.
The plan is expected to get final legislative approval Wednesday before going to Snyder's desk.

Obama plans to return to the failed policies of high taxation coupled with an expansion of government spending.
Worse, Obama says he is absolutely committed to almost doubling the capital gains rate — something he will easily accomplish with a Democrat Congress.
In the coming months — when investors realize that Obama will raise the cap gains rate — there could be a stampede of asset sales as investors rush to take their profits now to avoid Obama's doubling of the tax rates next year.
All of these issues and more are explored in Newsmax magazine's special report "Obamanomics — the Coming Tax-and-Spend Nightmare," by Wall Street Journal columnist John Fund.
This Newsmax magazine special report gives Americans the first in-depth look at the Democratic president's likely strategies — and how they will affect not just the larger economy, but your personal wealth as well.
Indeed, Obama makes no bones about his plans to go on a tax rampage. Not only would he increase the capital-gains tax rate from 15 percent to as much as 28 percent, he wants to allow the 2001 and 2003 Bush tax cuts to expire in 2010, which effectively raises taxes on Americans by tens of billions of dollars.
He also wants to do away with the $102,000 FICA payroll tax cap, which means anyone making over $102,000 would pay an additional 7 percent in taxes on earned income.
And the loan dividend tax rate George Bush implemented? Under President Obama it will be DOA!

The Affordable Care Act may make it financially sensible for your small veterinary practice to stop providing an employee plan. It may also eliminate a part of ownership that was a headache anyway.
If veterinarians delegate too many tasks they risk taking themselves out of the loop. Don't delegate enough and risk inefficiencies and employee resentment. Here's how to get it just right.
There are real-world effects if a handful of veterinary clinics from the same geographic area foster an anticompetitive environment.
Massachusetts, among other states, is looking to ban these controversial clauses you may find when signing on as an associate.
Management, legal and ethical issues abound when veterinarians recommend 'emergency' procedures to hesitant pet owners.
Are you a penniless new veterinary grad? These two strategies can make a huge impact on your bank account and debt load.
A carefully planned strategy could make you a contender in the race for veterinary practice ownership.
Transitioning veterinary associates to production-based pay.
Expanding your veterinary practice into a new facility doesn't have to keep you awake at night—if you take necessary precautions ahead of time.

Fears grow that Libya is incubator of turmoil
The fighters, led by commander Mohammed Ag Najem, broke the Mali government's hold over the north and declared their long-held dream of a Tuareg homeland, Azawad. But they in turn were defeated by Islamic militants, some linked to al-Qaida's branch in North Africa, who took over the territory and imposed rule under an extreme version of Shariah, or Islamic law. This month, as militants moved south, France launched its military intervention to rescue the Mali government, conducting airstrikes against militants.
In retaliation, militants seized an oil complex in eastern Algeria, prompting a siege by Algerian forces that killed dozens of Western hostages and militants.
The militant group that carried out the Algeria hostage taking, in turn, had help from Libyan extremists in the form of smuggled weapons and "organizational ties," the group's leader, Moktar Belmoktar said.
"Their ideological and organizational connection to us is not an accusation against a Muslim but a source of pride and honor to us and to them," Belmoktar, the one-eyed Algerian founder of the Masked Brigade, said of the Libyans in an interview with The Mauritanian newspaper in mid-December. "Jihadists in al-Qaida and in general were the biggest beneficiaries of the Arab world uprisings, because these uprisings have broken the chains of fear ... that the agent regimes of the West imposed."
He urged Libyan militants not to submit to calls by the Tripoli government to hand over their weapons, saying their arms are "the source of their dignity and their guarantee of security."
With pressure building on Mali's Islamists, Libya provides a possible alternative haven for jihadis, said Scott Stewart of the global intelligence group Stratfor.
"It is a very good place to operate if you are an extremist," he said. "There are fault lines and divisions ... The central government has very little authority outside Tripoli. This is very conducive environment for Jihad to thrive."
They already have a free rein in Benghazi.
"Libya became a heaven for them," Col. Salah Bouhalqa, a leading military commander in Benghazi, said of al-Qaida. "The Westerners are fearful that what happened in Algeria will take place in Libya. And here, just like Mali and Egypt and Iraq, these groups have extensions."
Some extremists say they are determined to shape the new Libya. Youssef Jihani, a member of Ansar Shariah in Benghazi, vowed that he and other jihadis would not accept a return to the days when they were jailed and executed under Gadhafi's rule. He told the AP in Benghazi late last year that the toppling of Gadhafi would not have been possible without the strength of jihadi fighters who he said joined the uprising to ensure an "Islamic state of Libya, where Shariah rule is implemented."

It's time for your Tuesday roundup. Warning: I'm feeling venomous today.
The champagne showers will have to wait. Still, it's hard to be too disappointed with a win/tie weekend on the road. If it wasn't for the dumb shootout, we'd all probably feel a lot better.
The Gophers and Ohio State, are we looking in the mirror, or are we looking through the bottom of a serum vial at an alter ego that doesn't know how to play defense?
Here's your weekly/giffy look at the B1G Hockey Conference.
The Nittany Lions came into town looking to steal a few points. The Gophers came in looking to solidify their grip on the Conference Championship Trophy.
If Penn State wants to steal "Pride on Ice," they had better show up ready to pry it from our cold, dead fingers. Also, they might want to win a few thousand more games.
Your weekly look around the hockey conference, including black holes, plane crashes, and the Murdertrain.
Adam Wilcox and Hudson Fasching picked up some conference honors for their efforts against Michigan last weekend.
Could things have gone better for our Gophers this weekend? I submit that basically no, they could not have gone better. Here is your weekly look at the conference and awards.
I understand that some of you have jobs that force you to go to work today. Since I have a job that doesn't burden me with work today, I've put together your daily look around the interwebz.

Unemployment Blues
Workopolis isn't spam by definition, but when you get a bunch of their headers together it certainly starts feeling like it. I can always count on a depressing headline when the sender is Workopolis; too bad I didn't save the one that suggested wearing skirts at work was a good career move for women.

I have more faith in hyperloops at this point, as they have more boots on the ground real world data at this point. Untill the jury comes back od helix probes I would not rush to install them.. Eric
Eric Sackett weberwelldrilling.com Delta P= 8 ATA www.youtube.com/weberwelldrilling
One thing Im curious about that I havent been able to find any pictures for. Is the top of the well Is there a wellhead or a casing that comes out of the ground that is exposed and visible? From my reading I would expect that everything would be as deep as a horizontal so that outside temp doesnt affect the loop Plus if I would have an exposed casing aesthetically I would want to choose a furthur distance from the house. Thanks John

British Airways won't retrofit for mobile communications
British Airways will not extend in-flight mobile communication to any of its aircraft already in service, CEO Willie Walsh says.
The airline is planning to launch a mobile e-mail, Web browsing, and texting service from OnAir on two new Airbus A318 aircrafts in September.
However, it would cost the airline too much to fit similar systems to its current aircraft, Walsh said Wednesday at the Sita Air Transport IT Summit 2009 conference in Cannes, France.
"We are not planning to retrofit the equipment to existing aircraft because we believe it will be too expensive," he said.

President of the WDW Resort, Meg Crofton, announced that effective January 1st, 2008, The Disney MGM Studios will be renamed Disney's Hollywood Studios!
Found all the info on the DisneyLink you can download from their site.
It will always be MGM to me though (It's shorter, and calling it Hollywood wounldnt be politically, or geographically, correct)
What are your thoughts
I love the name change .
It will always be MGM to me, but I do like the name change.
It's a good thing!
How will they display it on the bus marquees?

I'm for the name change. The Disney-MGM relationship had some issues from time to time and frankly, I think the Disney brand is stronger on it's own.

The LSAT is not as fun as the Haunted Mansion, but just as scary.
Will they retain the right to use MGM properties in the Great Movie Ride? Has anyone heard anything about that?
Have you seen my dad? Would you page him for me?
