Moving Marsby Greg Bear
Synopses & ReviewsSynopsis:Greg Bear is a writer who is rapidly redefining the shape of the modern hard science fiction novel (Keith Ferrell, Omni Magazine), and in Moving Mars he explores one very plausible scenario for the future of Earth's neighboring planet.Mars is a colonial world governed by corporate interests on Earth. The citizens of Mars are hardworking, brave, and intelligent, but held back by their lack of access to the best education, and the desire of Earthly powers to keep the best inventions for themselves. The young Martians - the second and third generation born on Mars - have little loyalty to the Earth, and strong belief that their planet can be independent. The revolution begins slowly, but matures to its inevitable conclusion.

After years of bulking up, Kraft Foods will spend most of the coming year splitting itself in two. Management's plan is to create a global snacks business, home to such brands as Oreo cookies, Trident gum and Cadbury chocolates, with revenue of $32 billion. It will also create a North American grocery company, including such brands as Jell-O desserts, Oscar Mayer processed meats and Kraft macaroni and cheese, with revenue of $16 billion. The company surmises that its cash cow business, groceries, and its growth business, snacks, will be worth much more independent from one another. |

Ticket #1774 defect closed fixed
Support HTTP proxies with the twisted.web.client.Agent API

I had need of connecting through an HTTP proxy, and thus need of running my own proxy for testing purposes. I found problems on both ends. These were mostly due to the use of the path in the GET command, without any expectation of it being a full URL, including the hostname. I've included a patch to fix the issue for GET commands, but there are likely problems with other HTTP commands, so probably the changes here should be factored out to fix all of them.

Southern California breaking news and trends
Big-rig crash, pile-up on the 14 injures more than a dozen
via NBC LA
An aerial shot of the pile-up on the 14 freeway.
The 14 Freeway reopened this afternoon following a pile-up involving at least 19 vehicles. All southbound lanes of the 14 Freeway and two northbound lanes were closed near Agua Dulce, backing up traffic for miles.
CHP officer Vince Ramirez said the accident happened shortly before 10 a.m. Tuesday morning.
"A big rig traveling southbound on the 14 Freeway in an unknown lane lost control and struck several vehicles," Ramirez said, "causing additional vehicles to be involved in a collision."
Ramirez said there was some unknown debris on the road, but it's still not clear whether that's what caused the accident. The big rig was also apparently hauling some type of sand or dirt.
The pile-up injured 17 people — two critically.
There was no fire, but someone was briefly trapped in the wreckage.
The accident was midway between the high desert Antelope Valley and the Los Angeles Basin, near the Escondido Canyon Road exit.
More at NBC LA.

Also worth a brief exploration is the town of Monchique, 6km to the north of Caldas de Monchique and 300m higher up the range. The sizeable hill town's market is held on the second Monday of each month (by the helipad) and is famous for smoked hams and locally made furniture – especially the distinctive x-shaped wooden chairs. There's also a weekly Sunday market on the main square, Largo 5 de Outubro, though the town is liveliest during the March Traditional Sausage Fair, when restaurants lay on special menus. The old town is dotted with beautifully crafted metal sculptures of local characters made by a contemporary Lisbon artist, which you can spot on the waymarked route to the ruined seventeenth-century monastery of Nossa Senhora do Desterro, signed uphill from the bus station. Only a rickety shell of this Franciscan foundation survives, but it's a lovely fifteen-minute walk up here through ancient woods.
From Monchique it is a short drive (there is no public transport) to Fóia, 8km away – at nearly 900m, this is the highest of the serra's peaks. It's a beautiful winding drive, though bristling with radio masts, and capped by an ungainly modern complex sheltering a café-restaurant and shop; the summit itself can be an anticlimax, especially if clouds obscure the views. Get here on a clear day, though, and the panoramic view takes in the south coast and west across to Cabo de São Vicente.

OpenOffice.org Calc function tools
Once you are comfortable with inputting functions and formulas, the next step is to learn how to automate the processes. Calc includes over half a dozen tools to help you manipulate functions and formulas, ranging from features for copying and reusing data to creating subtotals automatically to ones for varying information to help you find the answers that you need. These tools are divided between the Tools and Data menus, according to no apparent logic.
If you are a newcomer to spreadsheets, these tools can be overwhelming at first. However, they become simpler if you remember that they all depend on input from either a cell or a range of cells that contain the data with which you are working. You can always enter the cells or range manually, but in many cases, you can also use the Shrink/Maximize icon beside a field to change temporarily the size of the tool's window while you select the cells with the mouse. Sometimes, you may have to experiment with which data goes into one field, but, once you have found out, the rest is simply setting a selection of options, many of which can be ignored in any given case. Just keep the basic purpose of each tool in mind, and you should have little trouble with Calc's function tools.
Copying and reusing data
Data -> Consolidate provides a graphical interface for copying data from one range of cells to another, then running one of a dozen functions on the data. Most of the available functions are statistical (such as AVERAGE, MIN, MAX, STDEV0, and the tool is most useful when you are working with the same data over and over.
If you are continually working with the same range, then you probably want to use Data -> Create Range to give it a name. Otherwise, set the source and target ranges to undefined, and either enter the range manually or select it with the mouse. Once you have set both, select the function to apply in the target, then click the Add button. To help you keep track of the sources, Calc lists them in the Consolidation range pane of the Consolidate window.
Creating subtotals
SUBTOTAL is actually a function listed under the Mathematical category when you use the Function Wizard (Insert -> Function. Because of its usefulness, the function has a graphical interface accessible from Data -> Subtotal.
As the name suggests, SUBTOTAL exists to create tallies. Specifically, it tallies data arranged in a database array -- that is a group of cells with labels for columns and/or rows. Using the Subtotals window, you can select database arrays, then choose a statistical function to apply to them. For efficiency, you can choose up to three groups of database arrays to which to apply a function. When you click the OK button in the window, Calc adds subtotals and grand totals to the selected arrays, using the Result and Result2 cell styles for them.
If you use more than one group, then you can also arrange the subtotals according to choices made on the window's option tab, including ascending and descending order or using one of the pre-defined custom sorts defined in Tools -> Options for Calc.
Defining cell content and adding help
Data -> Validity defines the type of contents that can be entered in a cell. Depending on how Validity is set up, the tool can also define the range of contents that can be entered and provide help messages that explain the content rules you have set up for the cell and what users should do when they enter invalid content. You can also set the cell to refuse invalid content, accept it with a warning, or -- if you are especially well-organized -- start a macro when an error is entered.
Validity is usually used when you are designing a spreadsheet for other people to use. However, you can also use validity in your own work as a guide to entering data that is either complex or rarely used.
But Validity is most useful for cells functions. If cells are set to accept invalid content with a warning, rather than refusing it, you can use Tools > Detective > Mark Invalid Data to find the cells with invalid data.
Note that a validity rule is considered part of a cell's format. If you select Format or Delete All from the Delete Contents window, then it is removed. If you want to copy a validity rule with the rest of the cell, use Edit > Paste Special > Paste Formats or Paste All.
Varying cell contents
Tools > Scenarios let you enter variable contents - scenarios -- in the same cell. Each scenario is named, and can be edited and formatted separately, and chosen from a drop down list. When you print the spreadsheet, only the contents of the currently active scenario is printed.
By adding a scenario, you can quickly change the arguments of a formula and view the new results. For example, if you wanted to calculate different interest rates on an investment, you could add a scenario for each interest rate, and quickly view the results. If you had another formula that calculated your yearly income and included the result of the interest rate formula as an argument, it would also be updated. If all your sources of incomes used scenarios, you could efficiently build a complex model of your possible income.
Once scenarios are added to a spreadsheet, you can jump to a particular scenario by selecting the Scenario button on Calc's Navigator, then selecting a scenario from the list. You can also color code scenarios to make them easier to distinguish from one another.
Providing alternate versions of formulas
Like scenarios, Data -> Multiple Operations is a way of providing alternate versions of a formula. Unlike a scenario, the Multiple Operations tool does not present the alternate versions in the same cells or with a drop-down list. Instead, the Multiple Operations tool creates a formula array: a separate set of cells that give all the alternative results for the formulas used. Although the tool is not listed among the functions, it is really a function that acts on other functions, allowing you to calculate different results without having to enter and run them separately.
To use the Multiple Operations tool, you need two arrays of cells. The first array contains the original or default values and the formulas applied to them.The formulas must be in a range.
The second array is the formula array. It is created by entering variable – alternative values – for one or two of the original values. Once the variable values are created, you use the Multiple Operations tool to specify the formula(s) you are using, as well as the original values altered by the variables. The result is the outcome of the formula(s) using each variable.
The Multiple Operations tool can use any number of formulas, but only one or two variables. With one variable, you add different values for the variables as column or row labels. You then add a column to the right of the column labels or a row below the row labels (whichever you are using) for the results of each formula using the variable values. With two variables, the values for one variable are used as column labels, and the values for the other variable as row labels.
Setting up multiple operations can be confusing at first. For one thing, when using two variables, you need to select them carefully, so that they form a meaningful table. Not every pair of variables is useful to add to the same formula array. Yet, even when working with a single variable, a new or tired user can easily make mistakes or forget the relation between cells in the original array and cells in the formula array. In these situations, Tools > Detective can help to clarify the relations.
You can also make formula arrays easier to work with if you apply some simple design logic Place the original and the formula array close together on the same sheet, and use labels for the rows and columns in both. These small exercises in organizational design will make working with the formula array much less painful, particularly when you are correcting mistakes or adjusting results.
Working backwards
Tools -> Goal Seek reverses the usual order for a formula. Usually, you run a formula to get the result when certain arguments are entered. By contrast, with Goal Seek, you work with a completed formula to see what values you need in an argument to get the results that you want.
To take a simple example, imagine that the Chief Financial Officer of a company is developing sales projections for each quarter of the forthcoming year. She knows what the company's total income must be for the year to satisfy stockholders. She also has a good idea of the company's income in the first three quarters, because of the contracts that are already signed. For the fourth quarter, however, no definite income is available. So how much must the company earn in Q4 to reach its goal? To answer, the CFO enters the projected earnings for each of the other three quarters and the projection for the entire year. Then she runs a goal seek on the cell for Q4 sales, and receives her answer.
Other uses of goal seek may be more complicated, but the method remains the same. To run a Goal Seek, at least one of the values for an argument must be a referenced cell or range. Only one argument can be altered in a single goal seek. After you get the result of a goal seek, you can replace the original value in the referenced cell with the result, or record the result elsewhere for later use, possibly as a scenario.
Optimizing content
Tools -> Solver is not yet listed in the OpenOffice.org online help, but it amounts to a more elaborate form of Goal Seek. The difference is that Solver is specifically designed to minimize or maximize the result according to a set of rules that you define. Each of these rules sets up whether an argument in the formula should be greater than, lesser than, or equal to the figure you enter. If you want the argument to remain unchanged, you simply enter a rule that the cell that contains it should be equal to its current entry. For arguments that you would like to change, you need to add two rules to define a range of possible values. Once you have finished setting up the rules, you can adjust the argument and the results by clicking the Solve button.
You don't need to learn them, especially if your spreadsheet use is simple, but as your manipulation of data becomes more sophisticated, they can shave minutes off your calculations, especially as you start to deal with hypothetical situations. Just as importantly, they can allow you to preserve your work and to share it with other people -- or yourself at a later session.
One function tool not mentioned here are datapilots (AKA pivot tables). But they are a topic that is sufficiently interesting and complex to require an article to themselves.

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.

An ultimatum from a woman who wants to cuckold her husband backfires.
I fucked up. I crossed a line that I should've known not to cross and now I had to pay the price. My marriage was at stake. I was trying to salvage something from the unsatisfying relationship and I had misjudged my husband. I thought he was submissive but I learned that I had been misunderstanding him for as long as I knew him. I tried to get him to agree to a threesome with another man....Read On

DeLAND, Fla. – After trailing 1-0 at the intermission, the No. 25 FGCU men's soccer netted three unanswered goals en route to a 3-1 victory over in-state rival Stetson in the Atlantic Sun Conference opener for both squads on Friday evening in DeLand, Fla.
Junior defenseman Deion Jones (Tampa, Fla./Freedom HS) provided the equalizer in the 49th minute of play before classmate William Morse (Sugar Land, Texas/Clements HS) sent home the eventual game-winner at the 63:53 mark.
"We came out a little slow in the first half and gave them a few chances," said fifth-year head coach Bob Butehorn. "I'm proud of the way we responded in second period, both tactically and mentally, and I'm pleased with the effort after the break. It's always tough to come out and win your first conference game, especially on the road, and I thought Stetson gave us a good challenge tonight. Now we have to come back on Tuesday with another strong outing against a good USF team."
The Eagles improved to 4-2-2 overall with their third straight win and are now 1-0 in the A-Sun. With the victory, the Green and Blue extended their conference winning streak to 10 games dating back to last season, and are 15-2 in their last 17 league contests going back to 2009. FGCU also moved to 3-1-1 in A-Sun openers and sits at 2-3 all-time against Stetson. The Hatters dropped to 3-5-1 (0-1 A-Sun) in the losing effort.
Stetson was able to take an early 1-0 lead in the contest, finding the back of the net in the 29th minute of play. Junior midfielder Kai Eckenrode recorded his first goal of the season coming off an assist from junior Jonathan Mendoza.
As the game headed to the break, the Hatters held on to the one-score lead while edging the Eagles in shots, 8-5, and corners, 3-2.
Shortly into the second half the Eagles were able to level the game at 1-1. Following a foul on the Hatters, Jones blasted a free-kick just under the crossbar from 30 yards out for his first goal of the season, and ninth of his career.
It wouldn't be long before FGCU moved ahead on the scoreboard, providing another tally in the 64th minute of play. Morse made good use of a turnover from Stetson, sending what proved to be the game-winner into the lower right side of the goal. It marked Morse's first goal of the year and third as an Eagle.
FGCU would tack on one more insurance goal in the 85th minute of the game. Less than minute after entering the contest, sophomore Nick Patterson (Tarpon Springs, Fla./East Lake HS) was setup for his first collegiate goal on an assist from senior midfielder Josey Portillo (Metairie, La./Grace King HS). It was Portillo's team-best fourth assist of the season, and moved him into the team lead for points with six.
Redshirt senior goalkeeper Adam Glick (Leola, Pa./Conestoga Valley HS) was stellar in net yet again. The netminder totaled nine saves in the contest with seven coming in the second period of play. Glick now has 35 saves on the season with a save percentage of .795 and a goals against average of 1.07.
The Hatters held the advantage in both shots, 20-18, and corners, 8-4, while Glick trumped Stetson keeper Andreas Schnabl in the saves column, 9-5.
For the season, the Eagles have outscored, 14-9, and outshot, 117-111, their opposition. Meanwhile, Glick has recorded four more saves (35-31) than his counterpart in net.
The Green and Blue return home for another meeting with a nationally-ranked foe, as No. 10 USF travels to Fort Myers on Tuesday, October 4 for a 7 p.m. contest. The Bulls enter their Saturday competition with Providence holding a 5-2-1 record (1-0 BIG EAST), with a win over then-No. 14 Wake Forest, 2-1, in Winston Salem, and back-to-back victories against then-No. 10 UC Irvine, 2-0, and at No. 11 West Virginia, 2-1, in their previous two outings. The Eagles are 2-1 all-time against opponents ranked in the top 10, and are 3-2 in contests with top 25 teams.

I am the administrator of my aunt's estate. I know someone has been inside to shut off the water - not just from the inside - it's been turned off from the exterior valve and all water drained from the fixtures. I am concerned, however, with sewer gas coming up through the empty pipes. Should this be a concern, or am I over-stressing about it? If not, what can be done? | |||
I think it can kind of depend on how long the house remains vacant with the water shut off? There are safe anti-freeze additives you can add to traps (toilets, sinks, floor drains, showers, tubs, etc) that are sold at camper supply stores. And closing off and taping shut (duct tape) any drains would be an easy fix too. | ||||

Good recipe! Smelled like WAY too much onion at first, but once cooked they were great. I added a bit more cumin and a sprinkle of sesame seeds on top before baking (450F, 10 min on first side and 8 min on second). Served with Labanese Tabouleh from this site and a tahini sauce.
These are the best falafel! I used dried chick peas. I added 3 tablespoons of flour and corm meal - other than the corn meal the recipe was followed completely. I would not change anything. The falafel held together with a great crunch. Served pickled onion, cucumber, lettuce and tomato with homemade pitas and tahini sauce.
This is simple and DELICIOUS! Even though I used dried chickpeas my "dough" was a little wet, but surprisingly only a couple crumbled in the oil. They came out crispy on the outside and creamy (but cooked!) on the inside. Make sure your oil is at 375 and that you dry all ingredients before you process.
These were awesome! I made them for a crowd and they were gone in minutes. I used 2 cups canned chickpeas (very well dried)and half flour, half cornmeal and added a little feta. Last batch started to fall apart a little, I think it wasn't chilled enough to hold together. Served in pitas with chopped veggies and tzatziki sauce. Fantastic!
used dried, large split falafel. didn't fry - brushed w/ just a touch of olive oil and baked at 350 for 25 min., turned over, baked another 20 min at 425. yum.
I loved this recipe but the onions were a bit to strong for the other people who ate it. I have to take this into consideration in rating it as I enjoy onions far more than most people I know.
Great. Next time will add more cilantro. But great as is. Even my husband the meat and potato guy enjoyed these
Just back from the Middle East and was hankering for some of the great falafel that we got addicted to over there. This fit the bill. There's only two of us, so I made one batch, kept the rest in tupperware in the fridge for two days and made the second batch. It was just as good. In other words, the mix will keep for a couple of days. My next search is for a recipe for Syrian bread that's as luscious and thick as you get overseas.
I find the tagging of this recipe distasteful, there is nothing particularly "jewish" or "israeli" about falafels, it belongs to the region where the Palestinians, Lebanese etc have been making them for who knows how long. It seems that when Israel stole its territories, it stole a cuisine aswell.

Soy is Back
April 13, 2012
Soy's reputation as an all-purpose, healthful ingredient was tarnished slightly by the same media that elevated it to panacea status. But, the dust has settled. For those recognizing soy contributes greatly to health via multiple components, it still is the go-to wellness ingredient.

Pull, Twist, Blow: Transforming the Kingdom of Glass
Through April 27, 2014
Pull, Twist, Blow: Transforming the Kingdom of Glass
introduces the work of young, innovative Swedish glass artists. Glass is a part of everyday life for people all over the world, and in Sweden glass art is considered an institution. For many years, glass art in the country was defined by traditional techniques and patterns passed down through an apprentice system at glass factories in Glasriket (The Kingdom of Glass) in the region of Småland, where 15 of Sweden's 16 glassworks are located. Following consolidations, buyouts, closure, and the globalization of the Swedish glass industry, new artists are interested in exploring their own artistic voices and challenging expectations of what glass should be.
The exhibition
Pull, Twist, Blow: Transforming the Kingdom of Glass
reveals the works of young, contemporary Swedish glass artists, how the artists relate to their predecessors, and how they are addressing the future of glass.

Austin Lounge Lizards
Austin Lounge Lizards
Regarding their name, Austin Lounge Lizards guitarist and founding member Conrad Deisler said: "I think it was a slang term I'd heard my grandmother use to describe gentlemen of easy virtue who hung around in bars. When we started out, that's just what we were doing -- hanging out and playing for beer and tips and stuff like that." The Lounge Lizards trace their origins back to the late '70s, when Deisler, then a Princeton student, hooked up with Hank Card to indulge their shared interest in folk and country by playing in progressive folk bands. The two landed in Austin in 1980, where they met Tom Pittman, a banjo and pedal-steel player who'd just moved to town from Georgia. They combined the sounds of Pittman's bluegrass heritage with the folk and country forms from Deisler and Card's college-band days up north. Unsatisfied with playing bluegrass and traditional country covers, the Lizards found they had a knack for writing bizarro social and politically themed songs, overflowing with tongue-in-cheek twang.

Speedo will be sponsoring SwimmingWorld.TV's streaming coverage of the event, allowing Swimming World to bring viewers FREE live prelim and finals coverage. Swimming World TV will be streaming two pools simultaneously during preliminary sessions and one pool each evening.
All races will be available on the NCSA landing page for on-demand viewing. Swimming World will also provide a full photo gallery of the event on the landing page, courtesy of Swimming World intern Ally Barth.
This year's meet boasts 1,792 athletes from 250 teams, including London 2012 Olympic medalist Lia Neal. Other top athletes in attendance scheduled to race in Orlando this year include National Team member and distance sensation Rebecca Mann, Swimming World Magazine's male high school swimmer of the year Jack Conger and Kaitlyn Jones, who recently took down Missy Franklin's national independent high school record in the 200 IM.
The 2012 NCSA Junior Nationals proved to be an incredibly fast meet. Olympic gold medalist Katie Ledecky won female performance of the meet last year for her 15-16 National Age Group records in the women's 1650 and 1000 freestyle events. Both performances bettered 15-16 age group records set by Kate Zeigler in 2005.
Other top performances came from Rachel Bootsma and Jack Conger. Bootsma swam the fastest 50-meter backstroke in the world (27.84) on the last night of finals, in addition to nearly cracking a minute in the 100 meter backstroke and cinching numerous individual titles. Conger was all but untouchable on the male side, and won male performance of the meet for his stellar 200 meter backstroke. He'll be looking to assert his dominance again this year.
Because last year was an Olympic year, the 2012 NCSA Junior Nationals was formatted for short course yards in prelims and long course meters in finals. The 2013 version will feature all sessions in short course yards.
"The goal of the meet is exactly what we get: It's to create that team atmosphere," Oakland Live Y'ers head coach Jeff Cooper told Swimming World on "The Morning Swim Show."
"You see how fast people swim when they get into that team environment, like at a Big 10 Championship, and that's what we've tried to create."
Watch the entire Morning Swim Show interview with Jeff Cooper.

No. It merely links directly to the FSF pos while the first one linked to other articles linking to the FSF post.

You need a ROM to get a long passcode? LOL. You can have an "insanely long" passcode in iOS simply by disabling the "simple passcode" option. I just typed in over 100 alphanumeric characters and it was still letting me type more when I stopped.

In which fantasy land? "Society" has and still does uphold unjust laws all the time. What you describe is a tyranny of the majority.
Which is sane, but if you use an open source OS and an open source Java stack, there are other people doing that kind of testing, and even more importantly, social pressure for the developers, because they know other people will be looking.
That's funny since there was plenty of "social pressure" on GnuTLS about its crappy code and yet it had unfixed security flaws for most of a decade.

Sundays at Home {Vintage Wallpaper}
Sundays at Home {Intentional Homemaking}
So… you may have already seen photos of the old vintage wallpaper we found when we pulled off the top layer of wallpaper.
So we finally pulled the rest of the carpet off the floor and the hardwood isn't too bad. But there are a couple of places that really need repairing.
Also, about the wallpaper. The longer I live with it the more it's growing on me – in a weird sort of way. I can't really explain it.
So, I told my husband {who loves the wallpaper} that I might want to keep this one wall {pictured above} of wallpaper and paint the other three walls a complementary color.
But what color?
And do I really want to restore the wallpaper? And how would I restore the wallpaper? Paint? Watercolors?
I can't afford to hire someone to do it for me.
Here's a short video of my dining room so you can see what I'm really working with. Yes, in the photos is looks charming, but I think this video shows the damage pretty well.

The rise of the Chief Digital Officer has so far been most noticeable in the USA with a number of large companies appointing them.
The perceived need for a CDO is typically to try and accelerate digital transformation and to bridge the divide that can exist between the CMO and CIO.
Gartner recently predicted that by 2017 the CMO will spend more on IT than the CIO. Much of that technology is for digital and ecommerce initiatives.
If the CMO is not comfortable with these new responsibilities, a CDO is seen as a solution.

I understand your point, but there is no way to change a vote. You can PM a moderator to change the poll count which in effect changes your vote, but that should only be done when a poll is really important. The last "really important" poll I saw was ...... well, I guess I've never seen a really important poll!

No such thing as a really important poll -- how true, how very true...
But if everyone who voted for the winning choice got a prize, now that would be different -- and a really good reason not to let people change their votes. On the other hand, posting in the thread about why you changed your mind could, conceivably, be a useful contribution to the discussion, and I think it's pretty much OK to do that.

iXtreme 1350
Reviewed by Alan Zeichick
It's a whole new line of business, from a name (or a couple of names) that you'll surely remember. In 1996 the company was called Telenet Systems. It was renamed BSDi in 2000, and then in April 2001, it became iXsystems, Inc. What happened to the Berkeley Standard Distribution, you ask? Well, that's gone, sold to embedded software giant Wind River Systems, Inc. Today, the company is focused on building and selling custom low-profile, rackmounted servers, available with your choice of Linux, Windows or BSD (licensed back from Wind River). It's quite a change from the BSDi we used to know.
The new hardware product line consists of a range of Intel-based servers, ranging from an inexpensive 1U (that's one rack unit or 1.75" × 19") model with a single Celeron processor, to a 4U (7" high) system with four Intel processors. We recently reviewed a late prototype of their mid-range system, the iXtreme 1350, which is a 1U, dual-processor server optimized for maximum rack density in a web hosting facility or corporate data center, and given our initial skepticism about the OS-vendor-turned-box-builder, we were impressed with what we found.
The system we reviewed was equipped with dual 1GHz Pentium III processors, 1GB of RAM and three Seagate Cheetah 9.1GB Ultra3 SCSI hot-swappable hard drives. This is a common hardware configuration; all of the major server players, including Compaq, Dell, HP and IBM, also manufacture dual-processor 1U servers with essentially the same specifications; though Compaq ProLiant DL360 and IBM xSeries 330 models only have two internal hard drives instead of three.
iXsystems equipped the server with the other hardware that you'd expect in a product in this class: built-in CD-ROM and floppy drives, serial and parallel ports, onboard video, two USB ports (fairly worthless for a server, unless you want to hang a USB printer off it) and dual 10/100 Ethernet connections. No surprises there.
We were surprised, however, that iXsystems chose to give the iXtreme 1350 only a single 64-bit PCI expansion slot. In the case of our review system, that slot was already filled with an Adaptec 2100S SCSI RAID controller. That's a decent board, which has a single Ultra3 SCSI channel—more than adequate for the three onboard hard drives. The Adaptec board also has an external SCSI connector, so you could hook it up to an external storage box to bring the number of hard drives connected to the server up to a maximum of 15.
Why is this a problem? In a rackmounted environment, many IT professionals may choose to connect their high-density servers up to a storage area network (SAN). Today, that requires the use of a Fibre Channel network adaptor. Without an open PCI slot that's not an option for the iXsystems 1350. Increasingly, many network managers are also connecting their servers via Gigabit Ethernet, rather than 10/100 Ethernet. Our lab also has a gigabit backbone, and we usually put Asanté FriendlyNet GigaNIX or Intel Pro/1000 network cards into new servers and hook them into a gigabit copper switch. In fact, when both Fibre Channel SAN access and Gigabit Ethernet networking are required, and there's only one open slot, we use InterPhase's SlotOptimizer 5570, which has both connections on a single PCI card.
Thus, with the iXtreme 1350, you can have SCSI, Fibre Channel or Gigabit Ethernet—choose only one. Competing servers either have two PCI slots, or have one PCI slot but place the SCSI controller on the motherboard. (Note that iXsystems will sell you either the RAID adaptor or gigabit adaptor, but doesn't offer a Fibre Channel adaptor.)
One other complaint about the hardware: the box's cover and PCI adaptor are held in place with tiny 3/8" long Philips-head screws. The other server manufacturers have learned that in a high-density, rackmounted environment, screws are bad news. Depending on the angle you're working on, you can have trouble getting them out, drop them when trying to put them back or even have them fall inside a server. All of the major manufacturers use catches, buttons or thumbscrews to hold down the cover, so you can slide it off or swing it open without using any tools. They also use catches or latches to hold the PCI cards in place, again making it easier to swap them out while the server is still inside the rack.
By using screws, iXsystems saved some dollars on their design and manufacturing but have made the server more difficult to service in the field. If you purchase this model, our advice is that you remove the four screws holding down the cover before installing the server inside the rack. Unfortunately, you can't remove the screw holding the PCI slot together without making the board wobble, so you'll just have to live with that.
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.

Boston Red Sox: 3 Trade Rumors Sox Fans Will Love
By Scott Cournoyer ,
For the first time all season, the Boston Red Sox were three games above .500 after defeating the Toronto Blue Jays 7-4 Saturday at Rogers Centre.
However, this season has been nothing short of a disappointment for Red Sox fans—ups and downs around every corner, a collection of talent on the shelf until the second half of the season and a pitching staff that is still on the chopping block after last September's epic collapse.
Still, the Red Sox pulled themselves out of the chasm they put themselves into in April.
They are still breathing while playing in the gauntlet that is the AL East. They have talent coming back, but there are still moves to be made.
Here are three trade rumors out there that will get Sox fans excited about what may be ahead.
For the better portion of the last three seasons, Sox fans have had to deal with the frustrations of third baseman Kevin Youkilis, whose "in and out of the lineup" reputation grows with every 0-for-4 day at the plate.
Youkilis was known as an incredibly selective hitter for most of his professional career coming up the ranks and for his first five major league seasons.
Between 2007 and 2010, Youkilis averaged a .400 OBP, 22.75 home runs and 88.5 RBI per season, providing key hits in the playoffs and helping the Red Sox win the 2007 World Series as an integral part of the offense.
Between 2009 and 2011, however, Youkilis missed 128 regular season games and has appeared in 28 games this season while battling with a variety of injuries that have hampered him in recent years.
Therefore, the prospect of trading Youkilis isn't the craziest thing in the world. He turned 33 in March and has battled countless injuries.
However, considering his age and $12 million price tag, there are fewer suitors than expected for a disciplined hitter such as Youkilis. According to NESN's Jen Slothower, the short list of teams interested in Youkilis include the Los Angeles Dodgers, Philadelphia Phillies and Arizona Diamondbacks.
General manager Ben Cherington commented in the same source, saying that the only talks involving the 33-year-old are "ones other teams are starting."
Moving Youkilis is more about solidifying positions around the diamond than about adding something in particular.
With rookie Will Middlebrooks holding down the hot corner, Adrian Gonzalez locked in financially at first base and a carousel of an outfield expecting starters to return at some point in the near future, the odds that Youkilis remains with the Red Sox by the turn of the trade deadline grow thinner and thinner with every trade rumor.
As hard as it may be for fans and Youkilis to go their separate ways, it's becoming more of a reality as each day passes.
For the longest time, Houston Astros starter Wandy Rodriguez has been linked to trade rumors.
This season, the notion of the 33-year-old left-hander leaving Texas may come to fruition.
According to FOXSports.com's Jon Paul Morosi, Rodriquez has long been on the Red Sox's radar, the earliest reports coming during the offseason.
Rodriguez is 4-4 this season with a 3.14 ERA and 53 strikeouts over 77.1 innings.
He has a career 4.01 ERA, but has extreme home-and-away splits (4.67 ERA in 101 career road starts). His extreme splits could potentially be a cause for concern if he joined a legitimate contender, where he would more than likely have to make a least one road start somewhere during the playoffs.
Still, adding Rodriguez would really help to add depth in the pitching staff for the Red Sox, if they so choose to attempt to acquire him. With Josh Beckett, Jon Lester and Clay Buchholz all having difficulties on the mound this season for Boston, Rodriguez would be a nice addition and a left-hander who could eat more innings.
Look for Rodriguez to continue to be among the usual names in the rumor mill as the summer goes along.
This one's an extremely far-fetched scenario, but if Boston could land the 26-year-old Felix Hernandez—a stellar difference-maker on the mound for anyone not named the Seattle Mariners—it would put the Red Sox back into instant contention.
That's how much of a difference Hernandez can be on the mound.
Over the last three full seasons (not including 2012), the flame-throwing right-hander has averaged a 2.73 ERA, punched out 671 batters over 722 innings and has a ridiculously low 1.13 WHIP.
At 26, Hernandez is at the top of his game. Unfortunately, his "game" is tied up contractually for the Mariners through 2013, so the likelihood of Hernandez being dealt anywhere this season is a stretch.
However, according to Bob Condotta of the Seattle Times, Hernandez has grown weary and frustrated from all the trade rumor questions over the last couple of seasons.
Bottom line—the Mariners need to start over, and it's a shame to see one of the best five pitchers in baseball waste away his talents on a fourth-place team in the AL West.
Although the likelihood of Hernandez moving elsewhere this season is very doubtful, expect the odds to increase if he goes to management himself and asks for a fresh start for a different franchise.
It could be said that the Mariners are in rebuilding mode (they have been for some time now) and that Hernandez's best days are being spent for a bottom-basement club (and they are), but nothing will really happen unless he pushes the buttons himself.
Still, if he did and the Red Sox were able to work something out to land him, he's the one guy who could really move the needle in the AL East.

Operation Summary for February 15, 2010 - February 17, 2010 |
Monday Feb. 15 The day shift began with Operations monitoring the Tevatron (TeV) store 7611 (144.07E30) and the Recycler stash (118.2E10), with the Antiproton Source stacking (12.4E10), with the Linac, Booster, and Main Injector (MI) operating normally, with the NuMI, MiniBooNE, and Meson MTest experiments taking beam, and with the Collider Detector at Fermilab (CDF) and D-Zero (D0) experiments using the colliding beams. During the day shift, Operations reported that Jasmin experimenters accessed M01 for foil removal. At 10:30 AM, Operations put the Proton Source into a one-hour downtime to allow Booster personnel to work on TCLK and for Preaccelerator personnel to flush the H- Source water resistor and replace its extractor. At 11:43 AM, a TeV RF station (TRF1) tripped off with no indication; 7E30 of luminosity was lost. Operators secured the MTA - MuCool enclosure. At 2:06 PM, the MTA beam testing started and lasted until the end of shift; 58 of the 60 allowed pulses were taken. MI personnel conducted coalescing studies. At the end of the shift the NuMI beam permit tripped on a fan differential pressure. NuMI personnel investigated. During the evening shift, MTA beam studies wrapped up early on the shift. NuMI personnel had their fan problems resolved by 8:16 PM. Operations resumed sending beam to NuMI. Operations disabled the MTest beam at 6 PM. Operations terminated store 7611 at 10:08 PM and put the TeV into shot setup. Operations established store 7612 at 11:47 PM with an Average Initial Luminosity (AIL) of 285.16E30. Tuesday Feb. 16 The midnight shift began with Operations monitoring store 7612 (251.57E30) and the stash (68.5E10), with Pbar stacking (11.6E10), and with NuMI and MiniBooNE taking beam. During the midnight shift, Operations tuned MI to improve beam positions. Operations reported a Linac RF station (LRF4) power amplifier crowbar, which caused some downtime. Operations established beam to MTest shortly after 4 AM. During the day shift, Operations prepared NuMI for an access at 9:25 AM. Linac personnel began the power amplifier replacement for LRF4 at 9:50 AM. The Tevatron Electron Lens tripped off on a vacuum interlock indication; it reset. Linac resumed sending beam at 12:30 PM. Jasmin experimenters accessed M01 to change out a foil. During the evening shift, Operations terminated store 7612 at 5:45 PM and put the TeV into shot setup. Operations disabled the MTest beam at 5:52 PM. Operations established store 7613 at 7:24 PM with an AIL of 297.24E30. Wednesday Feb. 17 The midnight shift began with Operations monitoring store 7613 (148.24E30) and the stash (156.3E10), with Pbar stacking (26.7E10), and with NuMI and MiniBooNE taking beam. During the midnight shift, at 5:25 AM, a TeV RF station (TRF1) tripped off and caused a luminosity loss of 8E30. At 6:20 AM, the Feynman Computer Center lost power. The Plans for Wednesday The plans for today are to check out TRF1 in between stores and then continue with stacking, stashing, and storing. |

Help when it matters most When Superstorm Sandy hit a year ago, no one counted on the widespread damage and devastation she would bring. However, in this time of crisis, the one thing communities could count on was their school's education support professionals (ESP.) In communities across the state, public school custodians, cafeteria workers, security guards, classroom aides, and secretaries--many of whom lived in the community also-- worked tirelessly to set up school shelters, provide meals, collect food and clothing donations, and restore order. For these valuable members of the school team, the reason was simple: when there's a call for help, that's what they do...they come help.
